Chapter 236: A Mansion
The brown straw paper burns very quickly in the dry winter, the black paper ash is flying in the wind, Sister Qiu poured a jar of wine onto Meiliang's stone tablet, she is the first time to burn paper for Meiliang alone, all of them were taken by Jia Shi before, and now Jia Shi is already Mrs. Yan, and she can no longer burn paper for Mei Liang. Sister Qiu didn't know what to say to Mei Liang, squatted down for a long time, leaned over, and whispered: "My mother will also have a good life, I will have a good life." Don't worry, I'll come and burn you twice a year, and we'll all have a good life. β
"Coming back?" Jia's busy head didn't bother to go back to the last time.
Sister Qiu nodded with a smile, washed her hands with hot water from the cauldron in the small kitchen, and prepared a piece of hand-made dumplings.
"Father also makes dumplings?" Sister Qiu asked with some surprise.
Yan Yuanwai smiled a little embarrassedly, and with a little pride, he said, "How can I not wrap it?" Previously, Xiao Xu and I, the dumplings for the New Year's Eve were all made by myself, and Anzi often came to eat them. β
"Don't look down on others, your father will be no less than me!" Jia said with a smile, kneaded the live noodles into long strips, rested them on the board, cut them into pieces of flour with a knife, and then sprinkled the noodles with the side powder and rubbed them a few times, kneaded them into slender strips and cut them into small dices, pressed them into a small round piece on the board, and rolled them into dumpling wrappers with a small rolling pin.
Jia's rolled dumpling wrapper is different from what Sister Qiu had seen in her previous life, she kneaded the dough in one hand, quickly turned in a circle, and rolled the rolling pin in the palm of the other hand.
The people around Jiujiang are all rolling dumpling wrappers like this, and Sister Qiu's cognition of rolling them with both palms, and the thickness of the final rolled dumpling wrappers is different, according to Jia's words, such a thick dumpling wrapper can be filled with more filling, and it is not easy to break.
After Jia's dumpling skin was rolled out, it was thrown on the cover drawer made of millet stalks, and Yan Yuanwai quickly spread the dumpling skin in his hand, and after wrapping it, he pinched it with both palms, and a flower-shaped fat dumpling was formed and stood on the cover drawer.
Jia's rolling speed was very fast, Sister Qiu and Yan Yuanwai couldn't keep up with her rolling speed, and in less than a moment, a high stack of dumpling wrappers was piled up on the lid drawer, and Jia put down the rolling pin and began to wrap dumplings one by one.
"Did you send everything to everyone today?" Jia asked.
Sister Qiu nodded, "It's all delivered." β
"Your grandma's there...... Did you say anything? Jia asked.
Sister Qiu smiled, Mao's words were not allowed to be said in front of Yan Yuanwai, so she said: "What else can you say, you kindly added makeup to Mei Yindi, and people came up to scold us for being uneasy and kind, and they came to ridicule her." β
"This kid ......" Jia Shi froze back when he heard it, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "She has this temperament, she can bear it after going out." β
When Yan Yuan went out to pick up Xiao Xu and went home, Sister Qiu said slowly: "When I gave my grandmother a New Year's gift, the two of them at the beginning
Why didn't they come out, and then I called my second aunt to come out to receive the New Year's gift, and my grandmother couldn't sit still. When I was leaving, I was still desperately saying bad things about Yan Yuanwai, saying that Yan Yuanwai was looking at our workshop and shop, and he was going to take it away in the future, so if I invited my uncle to take charge of our affairs or something, I ignored her and left. β
No matter how good Jia's temperament is, he can't help but get a little angry, "Your grandmother...... I never hoped that our mother and mother would be happy, and the enemies of several lifetimes did not have her number! She eats every day, she eats without short, and she eats with kindness to them, and they don't have the mercy of an old man...... She just hates us! β
Sister Qiu smiled, "What are you angry about, I'm not angry at all, just don't listen to it." She is very clear about the thoughts of the Mao family, firstly, because Sister Qiu is a daughter, and the Jia family is not able to continue the incense for the Mei family, so these two people are a mortal crime, and it is not enough for the two of them to pay off the accounts owed to the Mei family, and the two of them did not admit their guilt and repay the debts after they had money, it was really bad, this hatred is deeper than the sea! Second, because the Mei family has become accustomed to the dedication of Mei Liang and Jia, after Mei Liang passed away, the responsibility of dedication fell on the shoulders of Jia and Sister Qiu, and they naturally demanded that Jia and Sister Qiu should be like Mei Liang and pay for the Mei family.
One can imagine how angry it can be when these natural demands cannot be met.
"Eh, didn't your grandmother say that your uncle was a big boss in Huyang? Why are you still in charge of our little country workshop? Jia Shi crooked his mouth, and there was a lot of contempt between his eyebrows.
Sister Qiu smiled, since they came back from Huyang, all the big guys know that Meiqu is actually just a handyman in a small grain and oil store, and it is really a shame for him to read such a book. Listening to Aunt Chunhua, Mei Qutuo sent a letter, saying that the store was busy for the New Year, and he couldn't leave, so he wouldn't come back.
What's so busy with a young guy that he can't leave? It's just that he was afraid that Aunt Mei would ask him for money when he went back for the New Year, and he couldn't take it out to embarrass him.
Sister Qiu thought about the Mei family, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "What are you doing with makeup for people like Mei Yindi?" Kindness to support her faΓ§ade, she still doesn't appreciate it, either it's too little or we don't have good intentions. β
"Why don't you have good intentions?" Jia Shi was surprised, "We were kind enough to add makeup to her, why did it become uneasy and kind?" Her own father and mother are also gone, so add silver jewelry to her! β
Sister Qiu said softly: "I guess she looks down on Wang Xiaonian, there is something wrong with the suspect, and as soon as I say that I came to add makeup, she will be annoyed and want to cry." "There is another sentence, Sister Qiu didn't hide it in her heart and didn't say it, Mei Yindi will continue like this, sooner or later something will happen, it's a big thing to give her husband's family a dislike and quit her family, I haven't seen Yang Xiaohong, my sister Yang Xiaohong, who has not yet said a happy husband's family, if the girl gives a divorce, then she can only marry low, how low can she marry, look at luck, and look at the ruthlessness of her father and mother.
Jia sighed, "Where is the perfect marriage and looking for a partner...... Yindi was not like this before, when your second aunt had just given birth
Niu, the family treats the big cow as a baby, your second uncle and two aunts don't care about Yindi, she followed me to sleep for a few months, when you were still young, don't remember things, at that time the two of you, one slept on my left, one slept on my right, and I had two daughters, at that time Yindi was obedient and obedient. Eh, following your second uncle and second aunt, no matter how good a child is, he has learned crookedly......"
Sister Qiu wrapped the dumplings in her hand, didn't say a word, Jia belongs to the kind of people who are too kind-hearted, there is Rongkang in the front, Mei Yindi in the back, all the children she has brought, she has quietly touched and paid for maternal love, and wants to take care of them as much as possible. As for whether those people appreciate it or not, the Jia family doesn't care too much, and they can do their best.
At eight o'clock in December 20, Wang Ming sent the big boss of the water tofu shop to follow the guy who came to get the water tofu, and sent Sister Qiu a dividend of 800 taels of silver.
The silver coin was contained in a wooden box, heavy, and the sun had not yet risen, and under the light of the candlelight, the silver coin shone beautifully in the box.
Sister Qiu was happy and surprised, and after thanking the big boss, she asked, "Why are there so many this month?" β
The big boss smiled and said: "Mei Niangzi doesn't know something, every year is the best idea in December, the owners of the major shops invite the boss to the boss, and the Cao gang who runs the boat on the canal also wants to invite the boat bosses to eat, our water tofu shop has become famous again, and the idea of this month is very good." β
Sister Qiu nodded, she still understands that in the 21st century, at the end of the year, various companies also want to invite employees to eat once, and then get a lottery or something, so as to motivate employees to continue to work hard in the next year.
These 800 taels of silver together with the previous few months totaled 1,700 taels, all of which were dividends from the Water Tofu Factory to Sister Qiu, and did not include the profits of the workshop and the store. The profit of the workshop and the store has been more than six months, and there are about 300 taels distributed to Sister Qiu, and Sister Qiu has divided the 300 taels into three parts, one for her, one for Jia's, and one for Xiaoxu.
In any case, Yan Yuanwai resolutely did not want Xiaoxu's share of the dividend, saying that the master doctor should make his own money, but Sister Qiu insisted on handing over the dividend she gave to Xiaoxu to the Jia family to save. Xiao Xu sincerely treats her as a sister, since she is a family brother and sister, isn't it natural to give Xiao Xu a dividend!
As for the 1,800 taels in her hand, Sister Qiu decided to take out 500 taels to buy land, and she wanted to buy a mansion in the provincial capital with the remaining 1,300 taels.
"What are you doing in the provincial capital to buy a mansion?" Jia Shi asked in surprise, "We don't know anyone in the provincial capital, and we can't live there if we buy it." β
Sister Qiu smiled and said: "Didn't Brother Zhun and Brother Qian go to the provincial capital to take the exam, and there is a small order, sooner or later, they will also have a place to live, and then they will have a place to live, let's talk about it, let's talk about this water tofu idea, look at it, the place where it can be sold is limited, if the workshop is opened to the provincial capital, it is even better if it is inconvenient to sell?" β
Jia Shi looked at Sister Qiu for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "You kid is a lively and thoughtful child
It's also big, my mother is not as good as you......" She has always felt that the idea of doing Huyang Qingzhou is already the ultimate big deal, and when she and Sister Qiu were still in the Mei family, how did she dare not think about it, but when she was satisfied with the status quo, her daughter had already set her sights on the provincial capital.
Sister Qiu is still patiently explaining to Jia's, "The head of our workshop has only signed for ten years, and after ten years, they have learned to make water tofu, and someone must set up their own door, if we don't take advantage of this ten years of work to make our Qiu Ji brand the first in the country, then it will be won by others!" Jia Shi was still shaking his head desperately and muttering, "Fortunately, I promised you to that kid a long time ago, otherwise I would not be able to tolerate a big-hearted daughter-in-law like you!" It's okay, it's okay .......
