Chapter 73

Jiang Xiangyun knew that he would definitely be able to make so many bowls, but what if it wasn't chilled when the time came, he had to say, "I have to ask my eldest sister about this matter, and I won't count what I say." ”

"Then what about your eldest sister, hurry up and ask me, I'm still waiting to go back to my life." Steward Sun said.

Jiang Xiangyun said, "You wait, I'll go." ”

Steward Sun sat on the chair, waiting for a reply.

"Sister, are you still sleeping?" Jiang Xiangyun pushed the door in. "There's something I want to ask you here."

Chen Qingmei has sobered up a lot, "What's the matter." ”

"A butler came and said he wanted to order 200 bowls of ice powder."

"That's a lot of ice powder." Chen Qingmei said, "Then how did you reply." ”

"I said I couldn't do it for sure, so I'm here to ask you." Jiang Xiangyun said, "Can you still ice so many bowls, what should you do if you don't ice when the time comes." ”

Chen Qingmei said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, there will be ice cubes chilled, and it will definitely cool down, I'll go and see it first." ”

As soon as Steward Sun heard that he could make it, he immediately smiled, "That's great, that's great, we'll want it tomorrow, Miss Chen, can you catch up?" ”

"Don't worry, we'll be able to do it." Chen Qingmei said, "It's just that the number of these two hundred bowls is too large, and the carriage in our store alone is not enough to transport, if it goes back and forth, it is estimated that it will not be very cold by then, and the taste will be very different." ”

"Don't worry, our government will also send a carriage over at that time." Steward Sun said, "This is a deposit of three taels, please accept it." ”

Chen Qingmei didn't refuse, and accepted it directly, "I don't know what the house is." ”

"It's the Sun Mansion on South Street, and our lord is Sun Zhizhou Sun in the city." Steward Sun,

"It turned out to be Lord Sun." Chen Qingmei said, "It is said that Master Sun is a good official who loves the people like a son." ”

Steward Sun touched his beard and said, "Miss Chen, then I will work for you, and I will send someone to get ice powder tomorrow." ”

"Okay, Steward Sun walks slowly."

These 200 bowls of ice powder, each bowl is 20 yuan, plus the box cost 5 yuan, one bowl is 25 yuan, and the 200 bowls of ice powder are a total of five taels of silver.

"Two hundred bowls, that's a big business." Xuan Yi said, "You can earn five taels a day, so much silver, but can we finish it." ”

Jiang Xiangyun said, "I sure it can be done, but what if it doesn't freeze at that time, people can't return it." ”

"I'm sure there's a way to chill it, so let's make ice powder first." Chen Qingmei said, "We have to deliver the goods tomorrow morning, and we will work hard in the evening." ”

"As long as we can make money, we can stay up all night." Jiang Xiangyun said, "What's more, this ice powder is not difficult to make." ”

I was busy until midnight, and I was able to finish these two hundred bowls of ice powder, even with the portions to be delivered tomorrow.

"I'm sleepy." Jiang Xiangyun rubbed his eyes, "It's finally done, it's really good." ”

Xuan Yi slapped his shoulder, "I don't know if I can ice it down tomorrow morning, otherwise I won't be able to pay the difference then." ”

"Okay, okay, you all go and rest, I'll clean up here." Chen Qingmei said, "Hurry up and go back to the room." ”

"Eldest sister, do you want me to help you?" Jiang Xiangyun said.

"No, you can go back to sleep."

Chen Qingmei asked Jiang Xiangyun and Xuan Yi to go to sleep, cleaned up the kitchen by herself, and took out ice cubes from the space by the way, some were put in the kitchen to be chilled, some were put into the space to be chilled, and there were still some ice powder stocks in the space, and it was enough to replace them when the time came.

There is one more thing to do in the evening, and that is to transport ice cubes to the shopkeeper Hu.

There was still a few days when the sky was about to dawn, Jiang Xiangyun and Xuan Yi also fell asleep, and Chen Qingmei led the carriage and went out with a lantern.

found a secluded alley, Chen Qingmei took out the ice cubes, put them on the carriage, and drove directly to the restaurant where the shopkeeper Hu was.

Shopkeeper Hu had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as he saw Chen Qingmei's carriage coming, he asked the guy to help move the goods.

The ice was so big and cold that the guy had to wrap it in a cloth.

"The cellar needs to be a little deeper to last for several days." Chen Qingmei said.

Shopkeeper Hu said, "The money is here, you order." ”

Chen Qingmei took the purse and counted the money, "Okay, since the goods have been delivered, I will leave first." ”

"I don't know if you have any ice there."

"Let's wait until you run out of ice, this ice cube is not so easy to get." Chen Qingmei said, "I also know a little bit of a person, so I have these ice cubes." ”

Shopkeeper Hu deeply felt that the little girl in front of him was not simple, and she was really not a good person.

"Okay, I'll come back when I'm done." The shopkeeper Hu said, "I'll let Xiao Maozi send you back." ”

"No, I'll go back in the carriage by myself, then I'll see you another day, shopkeeper Hu." Chen Qingmei said.

"Wait." The shopkeeper Hu said, "This steamed bun, you can bring some back for breakfast." ”

"Okay, I'll give it to you at the price." Chen Qingmei said.

Chen Qingmei wanted to give money, but the shopkeeper Hu naturally didn't accept it, and after coming and going, Chen Qingmei got more than a dozen meat buns for nothing and carried them back.

When she got home, it was almost dawn, so Chen Qingmei put the buns in the steamer so that it wouldn't get cold, and then started to make gruel.

After not sleeping all night, Chen Qingmei couldn't help but yawn a few times, thinking that after today's goods were delivered, she would have to sleep well.

Put some green vegetables in the gruel, and a little sesame oil, to make green vegetable porridge.

"Who?" Chen Qingmei didn't expect someone to come to the door so early in the morning, and thought that Steward Sun couldn't wait to come to the door to see if the ice powder was ready, but she didn't need to come so early.

Chen Qingmei opened the door and looked at the couple in front of her, both of them looked dusty, and their faces were full of exhaustion.

Xue Zhimei looked at Chen Qingmei with some doubts, "Who are you, how can you be in my house." ”

"Your home? Who are you? Chen Qingmei asked, "I've already rented this place." ”

"Rented?" Qian Dapeng frowned, "How is it possible." ”

Xue Zhimei said, "Is it that my mother-in-law saw that we were not at home, and this place was empty, so she rented it out." ”

"That's not true." Qian Dapeng was not very happy, "My books are still in it." ”

"I've already sent those to the Qian family." Only then did Chen Qingmei know that they were the third son of the Qian family, the third son who went to Beijing to take the exam, but it looked like they didn't get in, otherwise they wouldn't have come back so embarrassed.

Xue Zhimei said, "Then you have rented it for a few months?" ”

"Three months, two months to go." Chen Qingmei said, "The house here is not cheap, a few hundred wen a month." ”

"Sure enough, he refused to give me any money." Qian Dapeng said, "Lady, don't talk so much, let's go back first." ”

Xue Zhimei nodded, "Hmm." ”

Qian Dapeng and Xue Zhimei went to knock on the door next door, and knocked for a long time before knocking on the door.

"Aren't these the third uncle and the third brother and sister?" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family was still dissatisfied with who knocked on the door so early in the morning, but she didn't expect that there were two people standing at the door, Qian Dapeng and Xue Zhimei, didn't these two people go to Beijing, why did they appear at the door of the house, or she was damned early in the morning.

"Sister-in-law." Xue Zhimei had been on the road all night, and now she didn't have the strength to speak, "Let's go in first." ”

"Come in, come in." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family said, "Why are you back now, didn't the third uncle go to Beijing to catch the exam, this is already over?" ”

"Who is it?" Mrs. Qian came out with a dress, "It's so early in the morning." ”

"Mother, it's the third uncle, and the third brother and sister are back." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family shouted, "They have returned from the capital. ”

"What?" Mrs. Qian said, "The third husband and wife are back." ”

Qian Xiumei slept in a daze, and as soon as she heard that it was the third brother and his wife who came back, she immediately woke up, "What? The third brother and sister-in-law are back? Didn't you catch the exam in the capital, why did you come back? ”

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Qian got dressed and went to see her third son and them.

The second daughter-in-law of the Qian family also heard the movement, and pushed Qian Dayong, who was snoring from sleep, "Wake up, it's the third husband and wife who have come back from the capital." ”

"Why don't you come back, both of them are in the capital." Qian Dayong turned over and continued to sleep.

The second daughter-in-law of the Qian family glanced at the window, "It's true, they're really back." ”

"How is that possible?" Qian Dayong also sobered up a lot, "Don't you have to wait until September and October to come back, why did you come back today." ”

"Who knows, let's go and have a look, I don't know if the third uncle is in high school, if he is in high school, our family will be developed." The second daughter-in-law of the Qian family said.

Qian Dayong couldn't sleep when the second daughter-in-law of the Qian family said this, so he got up and put on his clothes.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family was cooking for Qian Dapeng and Xue Zhimei to eat, and Mrs. Qian didn't criticize the third son, took out a small piece of bacon and white rice, and let them fry two dishes to eat.

Qian Dapeng and Xue Zhimei were already hungry after washing up and changing their clothes, and the two of them were like hungry wolves coming down the mountain, looking at the green light in their eyes when they saw the food, the two of them devoured it.

"What are you doing here?" The second daughter-in-law of the Qian family said, "Didn't you go to the capital to take the exam, how could you come back with that... Starving to death. ”

"Go, go, what nonsense." Mrs. Qian said, "Go back, don't be an eyesore here." ”

Everyone knows that Mrs. Qian loves her third son the most, and where can she tolerate someone else to say a bad word, she will not be happy immediately.

The second daughter-in-law of the Qian family pouted, if she didn't want to know why they came back, she wouldn't be rare to stay here.

"Third child, why are you back at this time?" Qian Dayong said, "Didn't you go to catch the exam, you won't be back until September and October." ”

Qian Dapeng sighed, and didn't forget to stuff something into his mouth, "Second brother, don't you know, I was framed by that villain." ”

"What? Who would dare to frame you. Mrs. Qian crossed her waist with her hands on her waist, and she was about to take a kitchen knife to cut someone, "Look at me if I don't slash him with one palm." ”

Qian Dapeng said, "The passing year is not good, that person is jealous of my talent, afraid that I am in high school, so he frames me, so that I can't pass the exam this year." ”

"How could there be such a thing?" Qian Dayong said, "Then have you reported to the official?" ”

"It's useless to report to the official." Qian Dapeng said, "I spent a lot of money to go around, but unfortunately it was all lost, that person climbed to the top of the official, where can I compare." ”

"So much money has been wasted." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family was very painful, and so much money was spent on the third family, but unfortunately now it was thrown into the water without a sound.

Xue Zhimei said, "The capital is full of high-ranking officials and nobles, powerful and powerful, we have no power and powerless, even if the prime minister is talented, he can't stand the trapping of others." ”

"yes, in the end, it's still a villain." Qian Dapeng looked sad.

"Xianggong has suffered a lot in order to get ahead in the capital." Xue Zhimei wiped her tears.

Mrs. Qian was angry and distressed, her son who had always loved him had suffered such a big grievance, and the money was also lost, and now her hopes have been disappointed, and Mrs. Qian did not turn it around in one breath.

"That's not a penny." The second daughter-in-law of the Qian family asked, "I didn't have any money left." ”

Xue Zhimei said, "This capital is a place where money is silent, and this money is not enough for those people to stuff their teeth, and there is no return." ”

Qian Dayong was angry, but he had no choice but to leave happily.

The two daughters-in-law of the Qian family were not very happy, they couldn't lift their spirits, they didn't have the money, and they didn't take the official, and they both failed.

"I'm going back to sleep, it's been a busy day yesterday." The second daughter-in-law of the Qian family almost left without rolling her eyes.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family said, "I'll go see the child." ”

The two of them can't say anything nasty, after all, Mrs. Qian is still here, if the two of them turn their faces, it will be a big quarrel.

Qian Dapeng burped, "Mother, why did you rent the next door, then where do Zhimei and I live." ”

"Oh, don't you think you'll be back in October, and they'll be gone then." Mrs. Qian said, "I didn't expect you to come back so soon." ”

Qian Dapeng said, "The house also rented a lot of money, so why don't you give me the rent money." ”

"Son, I let people bring all the money to you, and I didn't keep a penny." Mrs. Qian said, "Aren't you going to send you some money, who knows that you will come back, then you still don't want to go to the capital to catch the exam." ”

"I can't go this year, I can only go next time." Qian Dapeng wiped his mouth, "Mother, I'm too tired, I'm going to sleep, and I'll talk about it when I wake up." ”

"Okay, you have a good rest."

"Where are we staying?"

"Go and sleep in my room first." Mrs. Qian felt sorry for her son, and looked at Qian Dapeng with a tired face, "I'll ask your sister to clean up the house." ”

"Hurry up, I'm too tired." Qian Dapeng said.

As soon as the second daughter-in-law of the Qian family returned to the house, she slapped the table angrily, "We have so much money in vain, you said that your brother is not good to stay in the capital, and he offended anyone, but now it's okay, nothing has come, we still have such a life, look at how partial your mother is." ”

Qian Dayong didn't refute what his daughter-in-law said, he was not happy in his heart, they were all sons born to a mother, from childhood to adulthood, Qian Dapeng spent the most money, and now he has wasted so much money, Qian Dayong is also angry.
