Chapter 127: Two Black Chickens
I don't want Grandma Chi, who has a very narrow information on weekdays, to know that she came to the town to sell black eggs, Zhou thought that Qiao probably heard this and relayed it to Grandma Chi.
At this time, she couldn't hide it, and Heng Zhi wanted to be known by Grandma Chi that she had made a lot of money, so Zhou simply told the truth.
She bit her lip and said frankly: "Mother, you are right, the basket that Shicai sold empty is the black eggs sold, all of which are eggs laid by black chickens raised by Yue'er elsewhere, and brought them home and asked me to sell them in the market." ”
Grandma Chi snorted coldly again, "Then you still give all the money to your daughter?" If this is the case, then your daughter will be very mean to you, and will even take back the money you have sold, and will not take you as a maiden at all, but only treat you as her servant. ”
She was deliberately trying to provoke Zhou to tell the truth.
Sure enough, in order to distinguish Chi Yue, Zhou told the truth, "Mother, where did you start?" The money I got from selling it was naturally my own, and Yue'er never asked me for this money. Mother, don't bury your granddaughter like this, it's not good for people to listen to it! ”
"What's wrong with me burying your daughter? I'm her milk, can't say a few words about her? Grandma Chi's vexatious temperament came up again, and Zhou was speechless, so he had to remain silent.
She knows that the more she refutes, the more she can make this old lady even worse, and pull you to the same IQ as her.
Grandma Chi was babbling nonsense, but she still understood it in her heart. She finally had a good idea of Zhou's wealth, and it would be much easier to make up her mind in the future than to confront Chi Yue directly.
Seeing that Zhou didn't speak, only lowered his head to listen to her "teachings", and didn't even care about selling eggs, Grandma Chi's inexplicable anger gradually subsided.
In the end, she paused for a moment, pondering what she was doing this time, and suddenly remembered, before she turned her words to the topic, "Selling black eggs is selling black eggs, and I still hide it from your mother-in-law, are you afraid that I will take you or what?" ”
Zhou hurriedly said: "Mother, I don't dare to hide it from you, it's just, it's just ......"
The next words, Zhou couldn't say anything.
Do you want her to tell the truth, afraid that Grandma Chi will blame herself if she knows that she has made some money and doesn't give it to her? I'm afraid Grandma Chi will have to rush to ask for her money. If Chi Yue knew about this, it would definitely be another bloody storm.
"Hmph, don't you dare to hide it from me?" Grandma Chi sneered, "Before, your mother's family came to visit, and when she left, she carried a black chicken, which was witnessed by the people in the village and spread all over the village. You are hiding this from me and his master, aren't you afraid that we will also ask you for a black chicken, and you will not be asked to spend more money? Hmph, since you have married into our Chi family, but you are still eating inside and out to please your mother's family, you kind of daughter-in-law, just leave our Chi family! ”
Zhou's shivered all over, she never imagined that Qiao's took a black chicken and would be known by the whole village. Then, her reputation for eating inside and out is probably already convinced.
She secretly hated herself, why didn't she send the black chicken to the old mansion before? In this way, it is good to make Grandma Chi feel comfortable in Grandpa Chi's heart, and save a lot of trouble.
Zhou's reputation couldn't be more important, and she was sternly questioned by Grandma Chi at this time, she was not afraid of what Chi Yue would think about it, so she immediately made her own opinion, and hurriedly said to Grandma Chi: "Mother, last time my mother's family came suddenly, and I didn't inform us, and I was in a hurry, and I didn't even bother to eat lunch, so I gave them the black chicken that Yue'er had just brought back at home." I sent you black eggs, but I didn't send you a black chicken, but there is no black chicken at home, not that I don't want to give it to you! I don't want to come and go and misunderstand. If you want, I'll ask Yue'er to bring back another one and send it to you. ”
At the mention of Chi Yue, Grandma Chi suddenly became nervous like a tiger.
She remembered Qiao's words to remind her, so she snorted coldly at Zhou's again: "If your second daughter knows, can the black chicken still ask her to bring it back to us?" Hmph, you're just fooling me, I don't believe you're so kind. ”
Zhou was very aggrieved, ruthless, and promised: "Mother, I won't tell Yue'er about this." Yue'er is still young, and she can't think through many things, so please take care of it more, maybe she will be sensible in the future, so she took the initiative to buy delicious food and send it to you to honor you. ”
"You're more than ten years old, are you still young?" Grandma Chi scoffed, "The half-grown children who are a few years younger than her are more sensible than her, understand the world, and know how to respect their elders." As far as she is disobedient and unfilial, she wishes to be angry with us and tell us to go into the loess earlier, so that it is in line with her wishes! ”
Zhou wanted to argue a few words, but she knew that Grandma Chi would definitely not listen, and the scolding would be even more ugly, so she kept silent.
After listening to Grandma Chi's admonition for a long time, probably Grandma Chi also had a dry mouth, and seeing that Zhou didn't refute and was bored, she patted her ass and went to hang out elsewhere.
Before leaving, Grandma Chi didn't forget to turn around and instruct, "If you want to send two or three, you have to send two or three, so that you can stop those nosy people and make them say nothing." ”
Zhou responded resignedly, and when Grandma Chi left, he breathed a sigh of relief.
was stirred up by Grandma Chi, and she had no intention of selling eggs anymore, so she simply closed the stall, cut a few taels of meat, bought a few things she needed, and went home.
That day and night, when Chi Yue Chi Xin came back and after eating, Zhou peeked at Chi Yue while cleaning up, thinking about how to tell her about it.
Chi Yue was calculating the accounts of the day in her room, and the abacus was "snapping" for a while, and now she was already familiar with it, and the beads were also polished to a clear and bright color.
After settling the accounts in the workshop, Chi Yue immediately calculated the profits in the mushroom field.
As for the black chicken and white phoenix pill, he also handed over all the power to Li Chang, and it was not until ten days and a half later, when Chi Yue went to visit them, Li Chang gave her the accounts.
Chi Yue didn't completely believe him, after all, she wasn't very familiar with Li Chang. It's just that I'm busy with the affairs of the workshop, and I don't have the leisure to care about the rest of the chores, so I simply leave them all to others to take care of, and I also save a lot of thought.
If you are suspicious of others all day long, the other party will not only be loyal to you, but you will also be aroused by you.
Because of this, Chi Yue simply became a lazy behind-the-scenes boss and only buried himself in managing his own serious affairs.
There are also accounts of black eggs, and Chi Yue is also completely handed over to the Zhou family to take care of by himself, and the money earned is even more asked by the Zhou family to take it by himself.
Calculate the money on hand, since the last time he took a thousand taels to upgrade the system, there are more than eight hundred taels at this time, and seeing that he can upgrade it again, he can't help but make Chi Yue secretly excited.
After the workshop came back to life, business was more prosperous than ever, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, the amount of brown sugar they sold was comparable to the amount they sold in a month. This also made Chi Yue see the effect of the packaging and the appeal of the brand.
In the future, she will have to work more and more on the role of brown sugar, and people will surely flock to it after knowing the benefits of brown sugar.
While she was pondering, Chi Yue didn't even notice that there was an extra bowl of brown sugar water on the table next to her, until she heard Zhou's gentle reminder, "Yue'er, you haven't gone down yet, it's better to rest early, don't be tired." ”
Chi Yue raised her eyes and nodded obediently, "I know Mother, you go to rest first, I'll go back to sleep after I finish this calculation." ”
Zhou didn't leave, still standing in front of Chi Yue's table, wringing his hands as if there was something unspeakable.
Chi Yue raised her eyes again and asked curiously, "Mother, do you have something to tell me?" ”
Zhou Shi saw Chi Yue asking, and simply said the words he had thought about before, "Yue'er, my mother thinks, although your sister no longer hurts when the moon comes, but after all, she is still weak, and your small body is also weak, why don't you get back two black chickens, and everyone will make up for it together?" The previous one was taken by your aunt, and we didn't drink a meal of black chicken soup during the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
If you want her to say that she is hungry, even if she uses it to lie, she will not be able to speak.
Chi Yue glanced at Zhou with a slight suspicion, but Zhou quickly glanced to the side.
The Zhou family had never asked her for black chickens before, and even the black eggs were sold by Chi Yue asking the Zhou family to go out.
The Zhou family is not a glutton, and he can't see that Chi Yue often brings back such expensive things, and he doesn't waste a lot of money. If you want to boil a black chicken soup for the sake of the children, it's not an exaggeration, but if there are two of them, won't the Zhou family be as distressed about money as before?
However, she was also glad that the Zhou family could take the initiative to ask for something from her, so that they seemed to be a truly close family.
Chi Yue immediately said cheerfully: "Okay mother, I'll bring you two back tomorrow." ”
Although the mouth is so refreshing, in fact, Chi Yue is also a little faintly reluctant in her heart.
After all, now that the reputation of the black chicken and white phoenix pills is getting louder and louder, and the amount of peddling is getting bigger and bigger, Chi Yue only feels that he only relies on his own strength, and he is a little powerless, and he still wants to recruit a few more people to help him.
The black chickens have now dropped from forty or fifty in spring to more than 20, and the chicks that have just hatched are fledgling and are far from being able to enter the medicine.
Because of this, she has evolved from bringing home a black chicken every ten days to bringing one every month.
At this time, Zhou's first was two black chickens, and it was reasonable for her to hesitate for a moment. But this distress was too insignificant compared to her filial piety to the Zhou family, so she quickly asked her to leave it alone.
said that the next day, Chi Yue really brought the two black chickens back to the house from the "outside" and handed them over to the Zhou family.
On the evening of the second day, when Zhou picked up the black chicken soup and put it on the table, he put the black chicken soup in front of everyone one by one, unlike before, put all the black chicken soup in a large porcelain bowl and take what he needs.
"Put it in one bowl, some people eat more and some people eat less, it's better like this, everyone eats more." Zhou was afraid that Chi Yue would be suspicious, so he hurriedly explained.
Chi Yue didn't care either, thinking that this was a very normal thing.
Seeing that there was no black chicken soup in front of Zhou, Chi Xin had to scoop a bowl for her, but Zhou refused to pull her down, and smiled with a dodging smile, "I have already eaten two bowls in the stove room, otherwise what about the two black chickens, where will there be so little left?" ”
Seeing that what Zhou said was good, Chi Xin really believed that she had drunk it, so she had to give up.
Chi Yue couldn't help but look at Zhou twice. When did Zhou become gluttonous? In the past, no matter how good the food was, she would eat it tightly with the children first, and she categorically refused to eat a bite, and ate two bowls at once, could it be that she wanted to open it and was willing to be kind to herself?
That's fine, she is wishing that she would treat herself well and make up for her thin body.
Zhou was on the side, ashamed and worried.
Don't let Chi Yue notice that there is only a black chicken in this pot.
She couldn't help but think that when the other one was sent to the old house by her, Grandma Chi only saw a black chicken, which was angry and ruined, and scolded Zhou for being stingy and stingy, still eating things inside and out, and disobedient and unfilial.
Thinking that he was thankless and would never be able to please Grandma Chi, Zhou's stomach was full of bitterness, and the chopsticks that went down were taken back.
