Chapter 128: What Liu Mai Wanted
As soon as Liu Mai's mother and daughter did this, the others on the table did not eat well, fortunately, they were all their own families, and there was still a little steamed bun and vegetables in the kitchen, Luo Ying and Xiao brought steamed buns and vegetables again, this time directly distributing the steamed buns and vegetables to other people's bowls.
Liu Yixin saw Liu Mai's mother and daughter gobbling up, thinking that they were very hungry and hadn't eaten for a long time, so he gave the vegetables in his bowl to Zhou Damei: "Cousin, this chicken is for you to eat!" ”
Luo Ying felt very pleased with Liu Yixin's generosity and sensibility, and the other people at the table also felt that Yixin was a kind girl!
Zhou Damei saw Liu Yixin wearing new pink clothes at this time, the silk flowers on his head were also very beautiful, and he was wearing a sound bracelet in his hand, so she was so envious!
A child who has no father and no mother is actually better off than himself!
However, after Liu Yifan's shopkeeper at this table tasted the sauerkraut fish, he couldn't sit still.
"Virtuous nephew, this fish is so delicious! I've been running a restaurant for so many years, and it's the first time I've eaten such fish. Zhu shopkeeper said excitedly.
As soon as the shopkeeper's voice fell, everyone present was stunned.
Especially those villagers who ate wine and the Xiao family father and son at the same table, when they heard that one dish could be exchanged for one acre of medium paddy field, they were jealous and envious in their hearts! If there is a girl in the family, they are determined to let their children interact with Luo Ying more in the future and learn more about this cooking skill.
"Uncle Zhu, don't talk about these today, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"
"Ouch hey! Don't! Or do you make an offer? "I wish the shopkeeper to open a restaurant for so many years, and naturally know how much benefit a delicious and fresh thing can bring to himself.
Now, the villagers are even more excited! This dish is delicious, but is the value of a dish more valuable than an acre of paddy field? This Liu family is going to send it!
"I wish the shopkeeper, now is the time to talk about business? After eating, you can talk for as long as you want! He Dawu reminded.
There are so many people here, it is indeed not a time to talk about business, and I wish the shopkeeper to scold himself for being too anxious!
After the lively meal, the villagers took their leave, Grandma Li and the Xiao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, these tables, chairs and benches were borrowed, and the men of the Li family and the Xiao family helped to return the tables and chairs from house to house.
At this time, Zhang Shouxin did not leave, because the two sides had to communicate about the progress of product production, and wishing the shopkeeper was nothing more than sauerkraut fish. In ancient times, there was no woman talking about business, but Luo Ying was an exception, so when Liu Yifan, Zhu Shopkeeper and Zhang Shouxin and others were talking about business in the house behind closed doors, Luo Ying was also there.
"If five taels of silver is not enough, you say, how much?" I wish the shopkeeper the practice of sauerkraut fish is also a must-win.
Liu Yifan and Luo Ying glanced at each other, and suddenly Liu Yifan said: "Uncle Zhu, we have been cooperating for so long, eight taels of silver, I promise that Xinglong County is the only one, but I don't care if others research it themselves." ”
In fact, this sauerkraut fish, it is not difficult for others to study it, but there must be a difference in taste, Luo Ying has eaten a lot of sauerkraut fish in her previous life, although they are all called sauerkraut fish, but the taste is different.
I wish the shopkeeper agreed without hesitation.
In this era, many dishes are not as many as in modern times, mainly because most people here are still living in a state of only seeking to eat enough, and there is a small foreign population, so people do not know the food culture elsewhere.
Zhu paid the money, and signed the contract under the witness of Liu Xiaoyong.
At this time, Luo Ying remembered her peppers, peppers and chili powder, so she said again: "Uncle Zhu, have you ever eaten chopped pepper fish head, fried meat with chili peppers and fried meat with chili peppers?" ”
"Chop the head of the fish with pepper? Is it made of chili peppers? The shopkeeper asked.
"What's a pepper?" Liu Xiaoyong asked.
"Eldest niece, do you have any other recipes, do you ......" I wish the shopkeeper was anxious.
Luo Ying interrupted: "Uncle Zhu, don't worry, after a while, I'll bring some good things to you." We'll talk about that then. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was slightly disappointed, but he thought that Luo Ying also had a reason, so he had to instruct: "Then don't forget!" ”
"Other things can be forgotten, that is, making money and things will not be forgotten." Luo Ying teased.
"When the time comes, don't forget me." He Dawu is also a foodie.
"And me." Liu Xiaoyong is also a foodie.
Liu Yifan smiled and said, "Definitely, definitely." ”
The three of them left satisfied.
At this time, Zhang Shouxin was left, and Zhang Shouxin pressed all his belongings on this exhibition, so he did his best extraordinarily, and if he was a little wrong, he would return to the pre-liberation period.
"This batch of medium-priced clothes has also been completed, the soles have been stored, I took the upper to Tong Ji Embroidery Building and asked them to embroider according to the way you gave, I personally talked to their third young master, the problem is not big, it is estimated that it will be completed at the end of the month, and it is expected to be completed within two months, by the way, according to what you said, two hundred purses were ordered from Tong Ji, because we have a large amount, the price they gave is five Wen, the texture of this purse is good, and it was originally bought to buy eight Wen."
After thinking for a while, Liu Yifan said: "According to this progress, the time of our Xinglong County Fair is set for December 16, a period of four days, and the exhibition in Wufeng Town is scheduled for December 22, just these two time periods are the peak period for everyone to buy New Year's goods." ”
"I think it's doable." Zhang Shouxin said, "This time, I put all my belongings on the table. ”
"Don't worry! Uncle Zhang, we will definitely win a big victory! Liu Yifan encouraged.
"When the time comes, let's go to the county seat and Wufeng Town and the surrounding villages five days in advance to do publicity, things are sold so cheaply, and there are things to give, such a big gimmick, I don't believe it, we don't make money!" Luo Ying said.
After reading the plan, Zhang Shouxin was full of confidence in the exhibition, and only then did he dare to press all his belongings!
Liu Yifan and Luo Ying have been talking about business behind closed doors, and the four of Liu Mai's mother and daughter outside are sitting on pins and needles.
"One sail, one sail." Liu Mai finally couldn't help but shout loudly outside the door.
Liu Yifan opened it, and Liu Mai's mother and daughter stood at the door with tears in their eyes.
"Otherwise, let's do this today, and we'll talk another day! I'm busy in the shop, too! Zhang Shouxin was also a discerning person, guessing that they had personal matters to deal with, so he offered to go back.
"It's not a good greeting!" Luo Ying got up and sent Zhang Shouxin out of the courtyard.
"What's the matter with you?" Liu Yifan asked Liu Mai.
Liu Mai looked like he wanted to speak again at this time.
To tell the truth, Liu Yifan hates her and the Zhou family, let alone a relative, or an outsider, in that case, he will never fail to say such cruel and inhumane words.
"I ...... My sister-in-law wants to borrow some money from you. ”
Yes, sure enough, Luo Ying guessed!
It's really a rush for money.
"Sister-in-law, we just got up the house, there are still so many mouths to eat at home, and my younger brothers still have to study, it's really embarrassing!" Before Liu Yifan could speak, Luo Ying took the lead.
Liu Yixin is a sensible child, now Luo Ying sleeps with her every day, tells her stories every night, and really loves her as if she were her sister, remembering what the Zhou family said at the beginning, Luo Ying is angry! At that time, Liu Mai, who was an aunt, didn't come out to say a word, and he hadn't visited the three brothers and sisters of the Liu family for many years, so how could it be so easy to borrow money now?
Luo Ying is protecting her shortcomings and holding grudges!
"I saw her with a silver bracelet in her hand! You live in such a big house, how can you have no money? Zhou Damei stood up and pointed at Liu Yixin and said.
Look at this posture, it's really a!
"Yixin is my sister, I'm a sister-in-law, I like her, care about her, buy her clothes and bracelets, I am willing! I live in a big house, that's my ability to do it, besides...... Who said I want to borrow you if I have money? Luo Ying said unceremoniously.
"You...... Why are you so stingy? Zhou Damei accused.
Liu Mai didn't pull Zhou Damei either, let her say, I guess I thought the same thing in my heart, and wanted to borrow the child's mouth to say what was in my heart!
"We work hard to make money ourselves, live well, dress well, eat well, what do you care? We have money because we are afraid of poverty, afraid that our relatives will get sick in the future, and there will be no way to ask for help, and we will be told 'girl, it's better to die'! ”
Luo Ying's words, Liu Mai's face turned red, and she knew that Liu Yifan would not forget the events of that year.
Suddenly, Liu Mai knelt on the ground and cried: "Yifan, sister-in-law, please, please help us!" I know, I'm sorry for you, I know I shouldn't be so shameless to ask you for help, but my sister-in-law can't help it! If you lend me twenty taels of silver, you will be twenty taels. ”
"Twenty taels? It's still twenty taels? Why don't you grab it? Xiao said sharply.
"Sister-in-law, please beg, only you can help, if you don't help, my family's Damei and Ermei won't be able to keep it!" Liu Mai knelt on the ground, pleading with a handful of snot and tears.
At this time, Liu Mai's three daughters watched their mother kneel down and beg again, and they also knelt down and cried.
scared Luo Ying and Liu Yifan so much that they were at a loss, they had never been begged by anyone to kneel and beg for such a big age!
"What are you doing here? Get up quickly! Liu Yifan said.
"Yifan, niece and daughter-in-law, I know I'm sorry for you, but if I can't borrow money, the Zhou family will sell Damei and Ermei and give Zhou Qilang a daughter-in-law. For the sake of the two children, help us, I can be a cow and a horse for you. ”
"You get up first and tell me what happened."
Liu Yifan still relented in the end.
It turns out that Zhou Qilang is Zhou Damei's seventh uncle, the Zhou family gave birth to seven sons and supported five, the Zhou family itself is not rich, and there are five sons to marry a daughter-in-law, the bride price house will cost a lot, the first four sons of the Zhou family have become married and spent the family money, and they really can't take out the money for Zhou Qilang's marriage.
This week's patriarchal thinking is super serious, and girls are not as good as grass, so they hit the idea of Zhou Damei's beauty on Tuesday.
Although she is a girl, she is also the meat of her heart! Of course, Liu Mai is protecting, this Zhou family doesn't know where to hear about it, Liu Yifan got rich, so he sent Liu Mai over to borrow money, borrowed twenty taels, this matter is over, if you can't borrow two children, you will sell them and give Zhou Qilang a wife!
So there is this drama where Liu Mai brings the child to the door!
"Who spends so much money to marry a daughter-in-law? I think, your Zhou family is deliberate, Fan Boy can't borrow this money, and he will definitely not return it if he lends it! Mrs. Xiao said.
Twenty taels, Luo Ying really doesn't have it in his hand, but even if he has, he can't borrow it, twenty taels is enough to build a blue brick house, this week's poor clang, Sensei expects them to pay it back, but Luo Ying thinks that the Zhou family should not think about paying it back at all.
But do you just watch them be sold?
