Chapter 160: Treasures Fall into the City
Sister Qiu's Jia family should have had earrings and other jewelry before, but in the Mei family for many years, they were sold or looted, in the end, Li Changjie and Li Ailian's family background is not very bad, but Jia's marriage is naturally not so shabby, there are only two broken clothes when the family is separated, where are those Xu marrying, Sister Qiu doesn't want to pursue it anymore.
"These three hairpins are for my mother, my aunt and Aunt Chunhua." Sister Qiu smiled and said, "Sister, what do you want, I'll buy it for you." ”
Zhang Yuxiu shook her head and said with a generous smile: "I want to buy a pair of silver bracelets, but I have money on me, so I don't want you to buy it for me." "She is now working, she doesn't care to ask her cousin to buy her jewelry, and when she earns enough money in the future, she wants to give Sister Qiu a valuable thing or two.
Seeing Zhang Yuxiu's expression, Sister Qiu didn't insist, her cousin is a good lady with ambition.
"What about you?" Sister Qiu turned her face back and asked Da Yin, during this time, Da Yin's body jumped very fast, taller than all of her, "Do you have anything you want?" ”
Dayin also shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't want anything, my mother gave me money, I don't want Sister Qiu to buy it for me." When I grow up, I can make money selling tofu like my father. ”
Sister Qiu smiled and patted Dayin's head and said, "When you are older, you will be like Brother Zhun and go to study." "Whether you can pass the test or not, even if you farm all your life, you must be literate and reasonable.
When it came to reading, the big seal was a little wilted, and followed behind with a bitter face.
Zhang Yuxiu chose a pair of thin skein silver bracelets, plus the salary was less than 900 copper plates, and at the instigation of Sister Qiu, she chose a pair of silver studs. Sister Qiu chose a heavy garlic bracelet, gold and silver are hard currency these years, which can be used as jewelry, and can also be used as money at critical moments.
After a few people finished shopping, they bought a lot of fresh things that could not be bought in Jiujiang, and went back, Sister Qiu led Xiaoxu back to the Liufang Building first, and Lin Zhun entered the two medicine halls separately, and each carried out a sack of 100 pounds of cement gypsum, and covered it with a coat and carried it back to the Liufang Building in a low-key manner.
Now the water tofu sells a lot, if it weren't for the last time Li Changjie drove a big car to the field, and pulled back a thousand pounds of cement gypsum in one go, the water tofu would have been out of stock.
The Wang family's family also looked at the sacks, but they just looked at the nose and nose, as if they didn't look at the two hemp bags, and after a few people got into the car, they asked the coachman to drive away. Sister Qiu is also not very worried that the Wang family will track down the cement gypsum they bought, she intuitively believes in Wang Ming, and will not delay the signature dish of Liufanglou because of the idea of a few cents of water tofu.
Sister Qiu has always been generous to the people she likes, not to mention that Aunt Chunhua will be her mother-in-law in the future, so with Aunt Chunhua's care and love for her in the past, it is also worth this silver hairpin.
"Why did you buy earrings?" Jia Shi looked at the heavy silver ear pendant in his hand and said with a smile, although the girl bought it very much, she still couldn't help but preach, "I'm old, what are you wearing this for?"
It costs as much money as you can, but don't buy it backwards. ”
"It's not costly." Sister Qiu said with a smile, "The horizontal and vertical are made of silver money, which is nothing more than putting money on your body." Mother, you are not old, wear this just right, when you are really old, you will wear gold jewelry, you can hold it. ”
Jia is only 31 years old, and many people in the 21st century have not even married, but here, if a woman who gets married early and has children early, it is estimated that all her grandchildren are embraced.
"My daughter bought it for you, you can wear it!" Li Ailian persuaded with a smile, "Where are there so many chirps!" ”
Jia Shi smiled and looked at the people around him, blushed slightly, and said with a bad heart: "Then I'll put it on?" ”
"Put it on!" Everyone hurried urging.
After Jia put on the earrings and hairpins, Sister Qiu hurriedly brought the bronze mirror, and Li Ailian smiled on the side and said, "Take care of it, it's beautiful!" Man leans on clothes, horses lean on saddles! ”
After looking through the things that Sister Qiu brought back, Jia asked, "You didn't give your grandmother a bag?" ”
"Nope." Sister Qiu fiddled with the fabric she brought back, simply shook her head, compared the fabric to Jia's body, and said with a smile: "Mother, the cloth seller said that this is a blend of cotton and silk, which is the most suitable for summer wear, and it will not stick to the body when sweating, but it is cool, just to make you a new dress." ”
Jia Shi smiled, touched Sister Qiu's head, and didn't say anything. She was afraid that Sister Qiu would hate her grandmother at a young age, and in the end filial piety was greater than the sky, but it was indeed the two old people who did not pay attention to it, and they were too ruthless and partial. To say that Sister Qiu is very dedicated to the two old men, she has never heard of any granddaughters who went out to give their grandmother a bag.
It's okay like this, it's the closest place over there, and the bento on both sides doesn't come and go
In the afternoon, when the people from the Qiu Ji team came to pick up water tofu, the most clever Sandezi said to Sister Qiu: "Sister Qiu, can we exchange beans for water tofu when we do business?" A lot of people have asked me, but we have never had this rule, so I didn't agree, I think if you can exchange beans for water tofu, water tofu will definitely be sold twice as much! ”
Sister Qiu naturally knew that if she nodded and agreed to exchange beans for water tofu, she could sell more water tofu. The dealer looks at the money tightly, it is not easy to save money, and the money is broken in half for a penny, and he is willing to buy water tofu with some money, but he is willing to exchange the soybeans produced in his own fields.
But Sister Qiu has been thinking for a long time, and she still doesn't want to open this opening, she has very high requirements for the beans in order to play the signboard of Qiu Ji, and the beans she bought back are all high-grade beans, and she has to pick the beans again before soaking the beans, and the bad, shriveled, and insect-eyed beans are all picked out and thrown away, which is used to ensure the quality of water tofu and soybean sprouts.
When she followed her parents to sell water tofu in her previous life, she also exchanged beans for water tofu at the beginning, but all the beans she collected were not very good, either moldy insects or rotten broken beans. There are also many people who open noodle shops in the village who exchange wheat for noodles, and there are many insects among them
The poor wheat can't grind the noodles at all.
It is very difficult to say that the people who buy water tofu have a bad heart, but people have this kind of problem, there is this kind of luck psychology, and the people who sell water tofu use so many bean grains, where is so clever to eat the water tofu made of this bad bean grains.
Looking at Sandezi's eager eyes, Sister Qiu nodded after thinking about it, "It can be, but we have to ensure the quality of the beans that are collected, if it is not good, I will not accept it here, and I will still collect money as much as possible." Let's ensure the quality of water tofu, otherwise people will see that we will even accept all the poor beans, and the water tofu is not good, and I won't buy water tofu in the future. ”
"I know this in my heart, and I won't harvest bad beans. So how do we change the method? Sandezi asked.
Sister Qiu thought about it and said: "If a city of beans is exchanged for a city of water tofu or a city of soybean sprouts, if he is too expensive, he will ask him to buy it with money." ”
"Wow!" Sandezi said with a smile, crop households to sell beans, a city of catties to sell more than 2 and a half cents, if you can exchange a city of beans for a city of water tofu or soybean sprouts, there must be more people willing. It's just that I have more pastries, and if the quality of the beans can't satisfy Sister Qiu, I'm afraid that I won't wholesale the water tofu to them in the future.
In the evening, Sister Qiu's house was a little more lively than usual, and several people closed the door and sat in the house to discuss things, and even Lin Cheng and Lin Laosuo also came.
Several people were in a meeting, talking about how to spend the 300 taels of silver that Sister Qiu brought back.
Jia wants to save up, and when Sister Qiu gets married, she will buy a dowry for Sister Qiu and build an old family's house. Li Ailian suggested buying another shop, because due to the large number of customers nowadays, the store often can't sit with customers. Chunhua agreed with Li Ailian's opinion, "Many people want to come in and eat, but they leave when there are many people and there is no place to sit." ”
After a few people finished speaking, they glanced at Sister Qiu.
Sister Qiu felt so good, all the elders present respected her opinion very much, and no one wanted to bypass the Jia family to be her master at every turn like Second Uncle Mei's father.
"I want to buy land." Sister Qiu said that in this agrarian society, if you don't have your own land, you don't have a sense of security, and in the end, food is the root of people's lives.
Jia Shi nodded, agreeing with Sister Qiu's point of view. "I think it's better to buy land." She is a farmer in her bones, and she is not as good as looking at the wilderness. When Sister Qiu is out of the cabinet, it is not bad to use the wild land as a dowry.
Lin Qu said with a smile: "Now that the better land is 10 taels of silver per city, Sister Qiu earns enough money to buy 30 acres of land, which is enough for the family to eat." If you have a little bit of land, you can buy 60 acres. ”
"Buy good land." Sister Qiu hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid of spending money, the important thing is that things are good." ”
Li Ailian saw that Sister Qiu's mind had been decided, so she smiled and said: "Then tomorrow I want you Brother An Zi to ask, look where there is a land sale, this kid does things, rely on it, rest assured!" ”
Sister Qiu
glanced at Zhang Yuxiu, who bowed her head and didn't squeak, and quipped: "Aunt Anzi looks at Brother An Zi now, how pleasing to the eye!" ”
Zhang Yuxiu blushed shyly, secretly pushed Sister Qiu, and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
Anzi did do things quickly and firmly relied on, and within two days of Jia's asking him, he found a family to sell land, about 35 acres of land, not far from Jiujiang Town, but some distance from Xiaohe Town, the family wanted to sell the land to open a grocery store in the town, so they were in a hurry to sell.
"The land is good land." Anzi said to the Jia family, "I've been to see it, and the crops are all growing well. ”
Sister Qiu interjected and asked: "There are still crops planted in the fields, we bought them with this effort, whose crops are they?" ”
"Count it in." Anzi took a saliva and said, "The land is four and 15 acres, in fact, there are 6 more points of land, less than 46 acres, the man pressed four 15 acres and sold it, just to give money now, and in the autumn he finished harvesting the crops and handed over the land." ”
Jia Shi nodded and said, "If the land is good, it will be nothing." "The crops were made by other people's servants, and they didn't pay attention to others.
"Then auntie, will you take a moment to take a look?" Anzi smiled and said, "That person is very anxious to sell, if it is too late, I am afraid that he will sell it to others." ”
At noon at the end of the day, Jia Shi and Li Ailian took Sister Qiu to the land led by Anzi, the crops grew very gratifyingly, the buds grew taller, and many of them all had sticks. Jia squatted down again, pinched the soil, crushed it and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This land is not bad. ”
Look, Jia fell in love. Sister Qiu didn't quite understand the way here, but since the Jia family had taken a fancy to it, it should be good, so she nodded to Anzi and decided to buy the land.
The silver money she brought back from Huyang was not enough, and she took it out of the previous deposit to make up for it, and Anzi led her to the township to register the title deed, and since then, the land of more than four 15 acres of land in the city is her Mei Qiushuang.
For the first time, Sister Qiu gave birth to a strong sense of belonging here, looking at the lush fields, and they could harvest their own food in the next year. Thinking about the time when they were in the Mei family, the Mao family did not allow them to eat enough, and the noodles they were served were all thin soup and little water, and now they have their own wild land, even if they don't do business, they can't fight famine, and they don't have to look at the faces of others to eat.
After taking the title deed, a few people went back to Xiaohe Town, and after walking into the village, they saw a monkey-like child running out of a house, followed by a woman carrying a burning stick, but she couldn't chase the child in front of her, and said angrily: "A monkey cub with no face and no skin!" Dare to steal my stuff and break your palm! ”
Seeing Sister Qiu and her group passing by the door, the woman was a little embarrassed, stopped and wiped her hanging hair, and greeted with a smile, "Old Mrs. Xiucai, are you back?" ”
Jia Shi "ehed" and asked, "Grandma Liu, what are you missing?" ”
This woman is no less than the Jia family, but she has a high seniority, and she rules that Sister Qiu wants to call her too much.
"It's nothing, my chicken just laid eggs, so I gave it to this fast-handed monkey cub to touch it
It's not once or twice, I'm angry! Grandma Liu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, you're tired all day, hurry home and rest!" ”
Jia Shi comforted Liu Milk a few words, and several people continued to rush home.
On the road, Sister Qiu said to Jia's family: "Mother, I see that the child who stole the red eggs looks like a big cow!" Although the child ran very fast, only a back was left, and Sister Qiu still recognized it.
Aunt Chunhua said: "People don't care! The two members of the Mei family, look at how happy the kid may be when he steals the red eggs home, and he thinks the kid has a chance! Those two people are not doing it right, and they can't raise any good cubs! Recently, a lot of people went to Mei's house to quarrel, and they all said plainly that it was a big cow stealing things, and they didn't admit it, they were really embarrassed to be thrown home! ”
"Steal needles when you are young, steal gold when you are big!" Li Ailian sighed, "When the child grows up, he can't manage it if he wants to!" ”
