Thinking that the children in the family and Xianggong had never eaten such delicious food, He felt a little uneasy, and after thinking about it, he said to Sun Yunxue: "Sister, where did you buy this bun?" ”

This bun has a thin skin filling, and the store has added a secret seasoning, and the size is just right, one bite at a time, plus soy milk, it is very beautiful. Since the bun was served, Gong's head had not been raised. Others have only eaten two or three, and she has already eaten about a dozen.

Hearing this, Sun Yunxue thought that He didn't like this taste, so he said, "What's the matter, auntie, this is the best steamed bun on this street." What, it's not appetizing, is it? Then you try this fritters, they are very crispy. ”

Seeing that Sun Yunxue had misunderstood, He hurriedly said, "No, no, this bun is delicious." It's just that I have two children at home, and I thought they hadn't eaten yet, so I wanted to buy a few and bring them back to give them a taste. Just tell me where this shop is. ”

Speaking of children, Ho immediately smiled. The smile was unguarded, not at all like the one she had cowered all day yesterday.

Sun Yunxue listened, and the softest place in her heart was moved by He. Her son is the same, he is the age of gluttony, and when he is brought here by his parents-in-law to play, he always buys some snacks. Sometimes she can't look past it, thinking that boys can't be so greedy, but she has to be told by her parents-in-law that there is no shortage of this, which makes her cry and laugh.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Then, do you see that red flag?" It's next door, and her family specializes in selling steamed buns. Speaking of which, this proprietress is really admirable, the mother and daughter have overcome all difficulties, and they get up to make buns every day, and now they are finally famous. ”

"Mother and daughter?" Li Shi was surprised. In her concept, the people who come out to do business are all big men, and they have almost nothing to do with women. Even if there is, it's just a man who calls the shots. Like Zhao, there is no way to do anything about the death of a man.

It is also for this reason that when Ruan Yuping said yesterday that she wanted to buy a shop in the city to do business, she was very hesitant. Although the child has already been married, he will not be married for a day. And if she shows up like this, maybe people are not happy with Old Man's family.

It was only later that I thought that this girl even dared to go to the capital, she was very bold, and she was afraid that the Gong family would come to the door to get the money, so she agreed.

At this moment, I was very surprised to hear that it was a mother and daughter doing business next door. She saw it just now, and there was a long queue outside the shop, all waiting to buy buns.

"Yes, it's also a poor man! Her husband died early, and her husband's family disliked her husband, and she gave birth to a daughter, so she wanted to sell their mother and daughter for silver. Moreover, they are still sold together to big families as maids. Sun Yunxue felt angry when she talked about this.

It's obviously a man's short life, what's the matter with women?

The early death of a woman is said to be a thin life, but the early death of a man is said to be restrained by a woman, and the world may not be too harsh on women.

"And then?" Li hurriedly asked. Speaking of which, her family almost made trouble selling their daughter before, if it weren't for Yuping's powerful girl, I don't know what the situation would be now......

Thinking of this, Li decided even more in his heart to listen to Yuping in the future, and prepare to do business from now on.

Sun Yunxuan said: "Her sister-in-law is a kind-hearted person and quietly told them the news. No, the mother and daughter escaped overnight and came all the way to us, living by sweeping the floor and wiping the table in the village. Later, the woman found that the wooden hairpin on her head had a mechanism, and when she opened it, she found that there was a huge gem inside. This hairpin was originally given to her by her mother before she died, and she always thought it was just a hairpin, but she knew that there was such a valuable thing in it. ”

Later, she gritted her teeth and sold the gem for a lot of silver, and bought this shop to sell steamed buns every day. Maybe there is a secret recipe, their buns have thin skin and a lot of filling, and the ingredients are enough and fresh, which is very popular. ”

Several people were very emotional when they heard it, and they felt that the critical moment was still reliable for their mother's family. A man or something, at the critical moment, he shrunk Wang Ba's neck and didn't care about anything.

After eating breakfast, thinking of He's words just now, Sun Yunxue went to the store next door first, asked for thirty buns, and packed them in three paper bags, and then said: "Here are thirty buns, and it is also a little bit of my heart, ten of you each, take them back to your family to taste." I often come to play when I have time, and I'm here for you. ”

It's really not that she's stingy, and she's reluctant to buy more. There is still a queue outside the shop. If she hadn't quietly told the proprietress at the checkout, and she was a familiar face, she wouldn't have been able to buy these.

As he spoke, he pointed to the carriage not far away: "My father-in-law has prepared the carriage, you can go quickly." It's just that I can only send you to the city. First, he didn't know the way, and second, there were still some things at home. ”

Hearing this, several people didn't know what to say. People are just familiar with Sun Yunxue, so they lead the way, introduce Ye Feng, and invite guests to dinner. Now, he sent them into the city in his own carriage.

Especially He Shi, I felt very ashamed, I really wanted to buy some steamed buns and go back to the children to eat, but this Sun Yunxue was so enthusiastic. took the initiative to buy it, not to mention, but also saved them time in line.

After thanking and thanking, several people got into Chen Qianguo's carriage and left.

When he arrived in the city and got out of the car, Chen Qianguo went by himself.

Seeing that Ruan Yuping had been giving him a look, Li Shi said according to the method discussed last night: "Brother and sister, Yun Xue and I have to go to the county government again. You also know that the title deed needs to be passed, and the county needs to be stamped with a big seal. It's just that I don't know how long this will take to happen......"

"What then," Gong interrupted Lee. She vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this, but she couldn't grasp the point.

"In this way, you two go back first, so that you can talk to your eldest brother, so that he will not be in a hurry. Well, here's the car money, you two go and get in the car. We'll be back when we're done, and we'll be going in the evening. Let me tell you, there are not many cars left, and if you don't go, you will have to walk back. ”

At the critical moment, Li lied and didn't blink his eyes, and Ruan Yuping was amused in his heart. Who said that her mother was cowardly?

At the critical moment, it can stand up just as much.

When Gong heard that he was going back by car, and Li had paid the money, he was naturally extremely willing. I wanted her to walk back, but she didn't want to. And when she came, the straw sandals had been thrown away, and she was reluctant to put them on her feet.

So, he took He Shi and left, and said as he walked: "Then sister-in-law, be careful, let's go back first." Don't worry, we'll let him know there, big brother. ”

Seeing the two get into the car, Yuping smiled and said, "Mother, you are really amazing!" You don't know, I'm afraid that they won't be fooled, and if they insist on following us, it won't be easy. ”

Hearing this, Li blushed slightly and said, "You girl, why are you still making fun of your mother." I'm not doing what you taught me, not for you. ”

Ruan Yuping said coquettishly: "Yes, yes, my mother loves me the most." Let's go, let's sell the longevity fruit. I changed the money before I could buy a shop. ”

Previously, Ruan Yuping lived in the city for more than half a month, and she liked to go out to shop in her spare time, so she naturally knew where to sell longevity fruits.

Soon, she pulled Li to a shop.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was in the house, Ruan Yuping walked in and said, "Shopkeeper, how much silver is a pound of silver for the longevity fruit you have here?" "Hearing this, the Li family was about to ask, didn't he come to sell the longevity fruit, how did he buy it?

However, when she saw that Yuping gave her a look, she didn't say anything.

The shopkeeper saw that Ruan Yuping was extremely beautiful and well-dressed, so he smiled and said: "Girl, you have come to the right place, the longevity fruit in this store is big and full, and it tastes very good, so it is slightly more expensive than other places, costing fourteen taels of silver a catty." ”

Li Shi was carrying the bag in the back, and was taken aback, Chenjiacun only sold thirteen taels of silver for one catty, how could it become fourteen taels and one catty when he got here?

But it's okay, one pound can be exchanged for one or two more silver! It was also at this moment that Fang understood Ruan Yuping's intentions. This girl is full of ideas, and she knows this trick. If she is replaced, she will definitely be pitted.

The shopkeeper thought that Ruan Yuping wanted to buy it, but he heard Ruan Yuping's words and said: "Fourteen taels and one catty, okay, the deal." I'm here to sell you five pounds. You can rest assured, this kind of seed is just brought from Chenjia Village, and the stored seeds are large and full, and they are absolutely impossible to buy outside. ”

"This is true, you show me your longevity fruit first, and then I will set a price for you. It's just, where did you get this immortal fruit? Although he was defeated by Yuping, the shopkeeper was not angry.

Now, the longevity fruit in Chenjia Village is almost unavailable.

"Oh, I have a relative in Chenjia Village, and he gave it to us. We have a small family and can't eat so much, so we want to sell five catties out. ”

Li hurriedly opened the bag, and the shopkeeper grabbed a handful of immortal fruits from it. Seeing this, I was happy in my heart, just this color, it is okay to sell it for fifteen taels of silver a catty.

It's just that he pretended not to care and said: "Well, I saw it, so be it, it's not easy to see that you have carried it so far, just sell it to me, just press fourteen taels and one catty." ”

Although he only glanced at it, he was sure that there were definitely more than five catties here, and there were more than ten catties in it. In this way, as soon as he sells it, he can earn more than ten taels of silver, and it takes no effort at all.

How do you know that Ruan Yuping said: "We have to take the rest back to make seeds, can we sell them to you, just five catties, do you want to buy them?" ”

In the end, the shopkeeper naturally bought it.

In terms of quality and quality, it is rare on the market. As long as you buy it, you can sell it at a high price. So he was sure in his heart that Yuping did have relatives in Chenjia Village.

With seventy taels of silver tickets, plus the fifty taels he had saved before, now the Li family has one hundred and twenty taels in his hand.

Li suddenly became nervous, her walking posture changed, and it was the first time she had carried so much money with her to go shopping.

"Mother, then let's go see the shop!"

Li hurriedly responded and followed Ruan Yuping to the market in the west of the city that specializes in selling vegetables. The shops in the city are too expensive, and this little money is not enough.

But it is enough to go to the vegetable market and buy it.

It's a little remote, but it's still in the city. And next to it is a vegetable seller, anyway, they will also cook food in the future, and it is extremely convenient to buy ingredients in the future.

The owner of the spice shop was a little unhappy when he saw Ruan Yuping's mother and daughter coming again. Just these two people, they have come several times, and each time they are bargaining, but they don't make a move. Otherwise, he would be in a hurry to go to other places, so he wouldn't have sold this shop.

The location of this shop is excellent, there are food on the left and right, and there is a vegetable market a few steps away, whether it is used for food or even a warehouse for stacking ingredients. The key is that there is a huge flow of people here, and no matter what you do, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell.

The only fly in the ointment is that this shop is not large. If there are five tables in a row, the shop can hold up to eleven tables. The position of the extra position is protruding, and I don't know how it was designed in the first place.

Because he was in a hurry to leave, he only asked for eighty taels of silver. If you change the usual time, it will definitely not be this price.

"Uncle, we're here again, come on, eat steamed buns. This is bought in Chenjiacun Commercial Street, and it tastes very good, you can taste it. Ruan Yuping said with a smile and handed over the bun again.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Ruan Yuping smiled all over her face, greeting and eating, which made this person a little uncomfortable.

It's just that he didn't take the bun, and said directly: "In this way, I see that you have also come several times, and I am indeed in a hurry to leave, seventy-five taels of silver, a lot of money." If you want to buy it, you can give it directly, and I want it in cash, not on credit. ”

After speaking, he looked at Yuping's mother and daughter with a look of ignoring people if he bargained again.

"Uncle, look at your shop, don't talk about the rest, there is a problem with this size alone, it's too small to use it for food, and there is no place to sleep at night. If we do, we'll have to rent a house elsewhere. It's really hard to think of ways to do other things. Do you think that everyone is just like you, living in this city, and it is convenient to come and go? ”

I have to say that Ruan Yuping is very realistic. Since he released the news that he was going to sell the shop, many people have come to see it. And the most talked about is that this shop is too small.

That's why it hasn't been sold.

Only Ruan Yuping's mother and daughter came more than once, obviously sincerely wanting to buy it. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to reduce the price.

After a few minutes of stalemate, the man's expression loosened slightly. Thinking that this shop is not sold for a day, I will not be able to leave for a day. Seeing Ruan Yuping's calm face, she gritted her teeth and said, "In this way, seventy taels of silver, this is the lowest price." If you don't buy it, forget it. ”

He's kind of out of the way.

Hearing this, Ruan Yuping smiled, her eyes bright and scary: "Yes, but the seasoning in this room belongs to me." Of course, if you don't want to, you need to move out all of yourself and clean the house. ”

The man thought about it, and the spices in this house were almost sold, and they were worth two or three taels of silver at most. He can't move away, so it's better not to help clean the house, which can be regarded as a personal favor.

Thinking of this, the man said, "Okay, I'll leave it all for you." It's just that I'm going to take this quilt or something, and I just bought it this year. ”

As he spoke, he said to Li: "Big sister, you have raised a good girl." I'm really good at bargaining, I'm losing money. By the way, what are you going to do here? ”

Li smiled and said, "We're going to make food." ”

After chatting a few more words, Li immediately paid the silver ticket, which happened to be the money for selling the longevity fruit today.

Hey, before I could cover the heat, I took it all out.

Seeing that the Li family was reluctant, Ruan Yuping said: "Mother, don't worry, I will work hard to earn you back the silver." ”

Thinking that the mother and daughter in Chenjia Village can earn money today, and she has a husband and children in the Li family, what are you afraid of!

In this way, Ruan Yuping followed the man to get the title deed, while the Li family guarded the shop in place and cleaned up by the way. The man walked along like a bed made of simple planks, and the floor was full of dust, and even some beans and corn kernels, which I thought had been brought by mice.

Li is a very capable person, and when Ruan Yuping came back with the title deed, she had already put all the spices in place, packed them in a dilapidated wooden box and placed them outside the store.

And the store has been cleaned.

As for those shelves or something, they had long been in tatters, and Li directly dismantled them and threw them all outside the store.

Ruan Yuping flashed the title deed in front of the Li family, then walked in and looked at it, and came out and said to the Li family: "Mother, looking at it this way, this shop is quite bright." And it looks pretty tall. ”

Li excitedly accepted the title deed, and his heart was very happy.

This shop will be theirs in the future.

It's just that he suddenly thought of something, and Li asked, "Yuping, did you write your name on this shop as my mother said?" ”

Li's reason is very simple, if her name or anyone in this family is written, the Gong family will inevitably take advantage. However, if it is written as Yuping, Gong has no way.

Yuping has already made a marriage, and the power of the He family is not weak, and the Gong family wants to make trouble, and it is also necessary to weigh it. In the end, it was she who suffered. There is no old sister-in-law who embezzles the property of the married daughter.

"Okay, mother, don't worry. However, this is not my name, but it is the name of the second sister. That, you see, these are the three words Ruan Yuzhu. As she spoke, Ruan Yuping pointed out her name to the Li family word by word.

Li Shi read it, although he didn't know how to read, but he was very happy. She knew in her heart that Ruan Yuping had always been obsessed with what happened at the beginning, and she did this to comfort Ruan Yuzhu.

After looking at it for a while, Ruan Yuping said: "Why does this shop look so awkward, isn't it a little too high!" ”

"No, I think this shop is really very high, like a two-story building." Li patted the dust and said.

"Two stories high? Ah, haha, mother, I thought of a good way, now we have a place to live! Ruan Yuping suddenly said happily.

Li hurriedly said, "What way?" If you learn to build a bunk like before, you can do it. It's just that it looks messy. ”

Ruan Yuping said: "Mother, do you think, this shop is so high, isn't it a bit like the mud building in our countryside?" All we need to do is build some thick wood in the middle and build another layer on top of it. Anyway, it's a place to sleep, it doesn't have to be too tall, you just need to be able to stand up straight. ”

When Li Shi heard this, he almost jumped up and said, "yes, why didn't I think of this!" This height is definitely enough. Let's go find someone who can build a house, and build a layer on top of it. In this way, we don't have to worry about where to settle down. ”

As soon as they said it, the two asked the people around them where to hire someone in the city, and soon found a person who specialized in building houses. After explaining his intentions, the man said enthusiastically: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, take me to see the shop." ”

When he said this, Li felt that this person was reliable and did not blindly promise anything in order to make money.

When he saw the shop, the man said, "Sister-in-law, everyone here calls me You Er." If you can rest assured, you can pay a deposit of one or two silver first, and I will be able to start work immediately. ”

"Uncle, can this second floor be built as strong as this land? We're going to take it and live there. Ruan Yuping felt that it was better to make her request clear.

You Lao Er said: "Don't worry about this, our family is dedicated to this, and we have lived until now, not to mention too much, we have built hundreds of yards." This shop is relatively high, I only need to build it according to the standard of a two-story building. If you are not satisfied with the construction at that time, you will not give the money. ”

In this way, after taking care of these, Li and Ruan Yuping prepared to go back to the village. It's just that Li refused to take the car and had to walk back.

Ruan Yuping said, "Mother, let's go back by car." You see you've been busy all morning, and I really can't walk. And if you walk back now, you'll definitely miss lunch. ”

Li felt sorry for Yuping, thought about what she said, and took Yuping to buy some braised meat, and then took Yuping back in an ox cart.

After going back, the Li family told Ruan Dalang about the successful exchange of the longevity fruit, and instructed: "Dalang, this longevity fruit seed is the foundation of our family's fortune, so no matter who asks for it, you must endure it, and you must not give it." By the way, start peeling tonight, plough the ground tomorrow, and plant the day after tomorrow. ”

Ruan Dalang is a typical honest peasant man, but honesty does not mean stupidity. As soon as Li said this, he nodded solemnly.

This longevity fruit has now been sold for more than ten taels of silver a catty, but he knows it clearly, because even if he hasn't bought it, there are people in the village who like to gossip.

And Li is right, this is the foundation of his fortune.

That night, when the children went to bed, Li and Ruan Yuping pulled Ruan Dalang to sit under the lamp and peeled peanuts together.

It was very late to peel all the fifteen catties of longevity fruit for the three of them. Ruan Yuping's hands have been tender in the past two months, and they are even more red and painful.

However, looking at the chubby and cute longevity fruit seeds, Ruan Yuping felt that no matter how hard it was, it was worth it. And now it's just peeling peanuts, and now it's doing well compared to before.

While Ruan Yuping went to sleep, Li stabbed Ruan Dalang with a happy look.

Ruan Dalang was mistaken, yawning and said, "It's too late today, I have to sleep, let's go to sleep another day." ”

Only then did Li Shi react, scolded "cowardly", and then said, "What are you thinking?" I have something important to tell you. By the way, you can't tell anyone. ”

Ruan Dalang said embarrassedly: "Oh, then you say, I won't tell others." ”

Only then did Li take out the title deed from his arms and said, "Look, what is this?" ”

Ruan Dalang suddenly lost his sleepiness, and said with a glare: "Where did you and Yuping go to buy land again?" Where did it come from? ”

Li said: "What we bought is not land, but shop." Do you remember the row of shops diagonally across from the market? ”

Of course, Ruan Dalang knew that the row of shops was built higher than elsewhere. It's just that he passed by every time and didn't go in to see it.

"This shop is one of them. The house used to sell spices, so they sold it to us without being in a hurry to move out. This is the title deed. Li's excitement hasn't passed yet, and now she gets excited when she talks about the shop.

And it's no wonder. She has been poor for most of her life, and now she suddenly has money and bought a shop, how can she be unhappy.
