The Great Yin and the donkey glanced at each other, and stuck out his tongue helplessly. Every year, I have heard about the tragic story of a child who went to bathe in the river and drowned, and the adults strictly forbade the child to go down the river. The two boys had the same plan to take this opportunity to give birth to the river to play, but the idea was not implemented, so Sister Qiu was strangled in the cradle. Going down to the river to play is certainly attractive, but it is obvious that the delicious and bean flowers made by Sister Qiu are even more reluctant.

Today's bean curd is also sold very fast, but because of the amount of more, when the market gradually decreased, it was sold out, and the water tofu was sold more than yesterday, selling 25 city catties, and many people came to buy water tofu to turn back to face customers, and a few people asked for 4 city catties at a time. In these years, there are more than 20 people living in the same house for four generations, eating in a pot, and if you fry a dish alone, you will need 4 catties of water tofu.

Sister Qiu is gloomy satisfied with this result, and within a month, the water tofu will definitely be a big seller.

Water tofu can definitely be sold more and more, she and Zhang Yuxiu have little physical strength, just relying on Jia and Li Ailian, the two women to work, it is obvious that they can't keep up, in the long run, they will definitely hire people to help, but who to hire? After working all morning, Sister Qiu has always had a headache. There is no man at home to support the door, and if the person who comes to help has any bad intentions, he will be very tired.

Sister Qiu's stall on both sides of the stall is selling roasted cakes and selling fried flowers and fried melon seeds, Sister Qiu's idea is prosperous, attracting a lot of people to come, very many people will buy a bowl of bean curd after buying another baked cake, and after eating, buy a melon seed for a penny or two to go back, and even take the ideas of these two families very much.

Sister Qiu cut two pieces of the remaining water tofu, each weighing eight taels, and wrapped the leaves and gave them to the two stall people on the side. The old Tang Tou, who sells roasted cakes, and Mama Ning, who sells melon seeds, are all happy, and they excuse themselves one after another, "Where can I ask for this?" It's all about trading, and I know it's not easy for you! ”

"Take it." Jia Shi smiled and said, "We've all been neighbors for a long time!" "If you have a good relationship, you can also take care of it.

Listening to Jia's words, the old Tang Tou and Mama Ning accepted the water tofu, they were close, and they knew that the water tofu cost two cents a city catty, and all the ones that they bought and bought again said that they were delicious, and the little lady gave them all was almost a city catty. Old Tang took a few freshly baked biscuits, and he must ask Sister Qiu to follow, and Mama Ning also took a paper bag full of flowers and melon seeds, and said with a smile that she wanted the little lady to taste her palm skills.

Sister Qiu excused herself, she took Lao Tang's first piece of baked cake and caught a handful of melon seeds from Mama Ning, Mama Ning saw that Sister Qiu politely understood things, and she liked it even more in her heart. At this point, the three small businesses can be regarded as officially establishing a good relationship.

The two neighbors are not bad people, and Sister Qiu thought to herself. When I didn't know each other two days ago, Mama Ning rolled her eyes at their dark fields, thinking that Sister Qiu's stall occupied her place, and today I was officially familiar with it, and found that these two people are still very good at talking, and there are also exchanges in etiquette, which is a good thing.

"Sister Qiu, her mother." After getting acquainted with it, Mama Ning's name for Jia's family became Sister Qiu's mother-in-law, "Are you planning to set up a stall to sell bean curd and water tofu for a long time?" ”

Jia Shi nodded, and saw that Old Tang and Mama Ning were all coming over, as if they had something to say, so they put down the stall to be collected, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

Old Tang Tou said: "You are the first time to come out to do business, you don't know, the stall on this street pays public taxes, like Geng's sister-in-law, pay 200 copper plates a month, I'll do it, 260 copper plates a month." ”

Without waiting for Jia Shi to open her mouth, Mama Ning said: "We are good here, there is a conscientious official grandfather, surnamed Yan, who asked us for less taxes, I heard that in other towns, the official grandfather saw that you had a good idea, and some of them looted you from the beginning, and the money earned could not cover the taxes paid!" ”

"You have a good idea, we see that you are planning to do it for a long time, so let's give you a heads-up." Chen Laosu preached. Seeing that no one was paying attention to the left and right, he lowered his voice and said to Jia Shi and Li Ailian: "It is estimated that tomorrow and tomorrow, there will be an official grandfather who will come to ask you to collect taxes, you two, tell me about the situation in your own family, if the official grandfather pities you, you can collect a little less." ”

Jia Shi was a little apprehensive in her heart, although she had a husband who was an old talent, but she had always worked at home, and she had basically never gone out to meet anyone.

"Uncle Tang, my father is an old Xiucai, he disappeared a year ago, my mother and I drove my grandmother and my uncle out of the house, except for a broken house, there is nothing. You give me an estimate, and the official asks me how much tax we want? Sister Qiu asked.

Mama Ning and the old Tang Tou brushed together, but they didn't expect that the woman who worked hard in front of them was actually Mrs. Xiucai! Out of a natural awe of scholars and sympathy for the Jia family, Mama Ning and the old Tang Tou became more and more respectful of the Jia family.

"It's hard to say, but I guess it's at most five hundred copper plates, and if you plead with Lord Yan, you will definitely be able to charge you a little less." Old Don preached.

Sister Qiu nodded, much better than she expected. The tax that only needs to be done for business has not changed since ancient times, but fortunately, according to what Mama Ning said, they are still lucky, and they are not unlucky to touch the corrupt officials who scrape their skins.

After sending water tofu to my uncle, Sister Qiu took 20 copper plates from today's income and went to the paper and pen shop on the street to buy a blank book with green skin, and six copper plates, Sister Qiu stuck out her tongue, all the paper in ancient times was handmade, but it was not cheap. And the pen is the cheapest is also to cost three cents, the upper level of the wolf, the sheep is even more expensive, the study of the four treasures to buy a set of forty cents!

Sister Qiu is straight, she understands how difficult it is to provide a scholar, not to mention the constraints and living expenses, just the four treasures of the study room in a year, it is very rich, and it is very difficult for ordinary dealers to provide it.

In order to save money, Sister Qiu only bought the cheapest pen and a small piece of ink, and spent a total of 12 wen even in the account book, and she planned to go home to find stones to make inkstones. Now is the early stage of entrepreneurship, you can save money. However, when she went back and passed by the grass pork stall, Sister Qiu looked at the ribs on the case and swallowed her saliva, she had been here for so long, except that time she went out with Lin Zhun to roast river fish and green shrimp to eat, she almost forgot what meat tasted like.

When she returned to Jia's place, Sister Qiu carried a piece of five-flower meat tied up with a straw rope in her hand, which weighed about seven taels. Compared with meat, she likes to eat pork ribs, but pork ribs are more expensive than meat, and in the banker's house, eating pork ribs is wasteful, and it is not as cost-effective as eating pure meat.

"You have ...... in your hand" Jia Shi looked at the thing in Sister Qiu's palm and couldn't help but froze, in addition to the notebook and pen, there was also a piece of grass pork.

Sister Qiu smiled, "Mother, let's also improve our lives." "If you eat well, your body will be good, and you will be energetic in your work.

If the Mao family is present, she will definitely scold and scold Sister Qiu for spending money without her consent, which is delicious! But Jia's is not Mao's, she will only review her own uselessness, and her tired daughter can't even eat all the meat. If it weren't for the girl's idea to make money by making a small idea, the two would have been desperate.

"Okay, let's eat meat at lunch!" Jia Shi pulled Li Ailian and said with a smile.

Back to the village, the servants went to Lao Sheng's shop first, Sister Qiu asked for a hundred catties of beans this time, and asked Lao Sheng to send them to his home, Lao Sheng naturally agreed.

"Mrs. Xiucai, what a good idea!" Lao Sheng said with a smile.

Jia Shi still couldn't erase it a little, and said with a cramped smile: "TOEFL TOEFL, you can pay off the debt!" ”

"You have suffered a big loss when you split up this time, and the villagers all look at it. It's good to divide it, the days are getting better and better, and it will come out immediately! Lao Sheng said with a soft smile.

Sister Qiu's mind moved, every time before dinner, the grocery store would gather a group of village people to chat and chat, which was regarded as a news distribution center.

"What's the matter!" Sister Qiu complained half-truthfully, "Uncle Shun, you don't know, yesterday my grandmother said that the previous separation does not count, and asked me to go home with my mother!" ”

"What?" Lao Sheng's eyes were all wide-eyed, "Why doesn't this count?" "Can you lick back the spit? I know that Mama Mei is a thick-skinned person, but I didn't expect her to be so thick-skinned!

Sister Qiu sighed, "My mother's face is thin-skinned, and my grandmother desperately wants my mother to take me to move back, my eldest aunt is not from our village, and it's hard to say if she wants to help us." The deed of separation has all passed through the yamen, and it must not be counted! My second uncle said that my grandmother wanted me to kiss my mother, and although the family was divided, I could still live together. I definitely want my mother to go home and continue to do business, they will take the money, and my mother can help my mother do the work in the afternoon...... Eh, I won't talk about it. ”

As she spoke, Sister Qiu took out a knife from the pick, cut a square piece of water tofu and gave it to Lao Sheng.

"Uncle Shun, I just want to tell you these trivial things, I forgot to give you this, go home and cook vegetables, it's delicious!" Sister Qiu said with a smile.

"Eh, this can't be done!" Lao Sheng hurriedly excused himself.

Sister Qiu smiled and said: "It's not worth much, Uncle Lao Shun tasted the delicious food, tell them more, so that they can buy more of our water tofu and take care of our ideas, I and my mother are still in debt!" ”

Uncle Lao Shun patted his chest and was full of pride, "No problem! Later, I will ask Fuzi to carry it for you. He grabbed a handful of millet candy from the shelves and stuffed it into Sister Qiu's hand.
