On the way home, star fruit found a secluded corner to count the silver and read the order.

With Master Qin talking, An Zhiyuan took the lead, and there were many people who set pickles for star fruit. The dozens of large pots of vegetables at home are only enough to be delivered for a month, and when I go back, I have to let A-Niang prepare tightly and pickle the vegetables, otherwise it will be out of stock.

As soon as the star fruit returned home, he handed over the silver and the order to A-Niang: "Each family gave half of the silver as a deposit, and the rest of the silver was delivered to the food, and the account was settled once a month." ”

Looking at so much silver, the Ye family was a little frightened: "So much silver, how much is it set?" ”

"I write how many people are in each family, more than ten pounds a day, and less than three or four pounds a day; Some are set for half a year, and some are only set for a month, A-Niang wants to know and I will read it to you in a while. ”

Ye Shi counted the silver, and then looked at the order that listed a whole page, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "It's really strange for a big family, ten catties of pickled vegetables a day, can't you eat it as a meal?" ”

"There are many large families with large populations, such as Anjia, there are only three other courtyards, and in the other courtyards of our county alone, there are more than 40 people, and there are a lot of pickles to eat."

"Also, the people who help in Landlord Liu's house have pickles three times a day. That consumption, twenty or thirty catties is not enough. ”

Nowadays, people don't have oil and water in their stomachs, and they can eat very much, even if they have pickled vegetables and porridge, they can drink three or four bowls loosely.

"No one's money will be thrown away for fun, since they have set so much, it must be able to be consumed." The star fruit was thickly turned into a bowl of sugar water to drink, and I felt that it was not enjoyable, so I picked it up with chopsticks while holding a sugar jar.

Ye Shi looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Why are you eating sugar again and getting angry outside?" ”

An Zhiyuan's matter can't be known to A-Niang.

Star fruit dug a chopstick candy into her mouth, put away the sugar jar tightly, and smiled coquettishly at A-Niang: "Isn't this happy to have encountered a good thing?" ”

In case A-Niang asked too much, she hurriedly planned the next thing: "The cabbage is gone, let's make cowpeas, cucumbers and artichokes in the next batch." We have more types, people can change to eat, and it is not easy to get tired. ”

Ye Shi felt that the star fruit was hiding something in his heart, so he wanted to ask and endured it: "Eggplant, bamboo shoots, sweet garlic, etc. can also be pickled, if you want to change the pattern, fifteen or sixteen kinds are not a problem." It's just that things change, can people agree? ”

"Shouldn't it, no one can stand eating pickled cabbage every day!"

Star fruit tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "Let's do it first, the old pickles will be sent for more than a month, and when the new ones come down, let's let the family taste the dishes first, and then send them if you want to, if you can't do it, you can't think of other ways." ”

"Speaking of delivery, so many people, and in different places, how can they be delivered?"

I have also thought about this question of star fruit, and now that A-Niang asked, she asked her: "What has my brother-in-law been busy with lately?" Or hunting and selling firewood? ”

Ye Shi understood the meaning of star fruit, but he was very hesitant: "It's early summer, and there are many hunters and woodcutters in the mountains, and his harvest in one day is only enough to make ends meet." But no matter how bad it is, he will live with his waist straight, let him come to help our family deliver pickles, and he will go to a big family to nod his waist, he is a big man......"

"It's not your brother-in-law alone. I see Yang Pan lying idle at home, the crops have been planted, your uncle and cousin can also spare time in the morning, why don't you talk to them about the price and use them first? ”

Star fruit originally wanted to sort out the notes of her recent medical practice, but she paused when she heard the words. Almost immediately, she thought of the fact that the eldest aunt wanted to steal her pickle business, although it ended miserably, but it always made people feel palpitations.

Besides, her family's pickle business has just started, and it is not certain whether she can gain a firm foothold.

"I want to do it with my eldest sister's family, if the business is good in the future, you and Daddy will definitely not be busy, please don't worry about others." Sister is helping you at home, and your brother-in-law is going to run the outside business, if you really make things bigger, it will be good for all of us. ”

Carambola thought for a while, and then added: "Now Sister Ah and her mother-in-law don't help sell pickles?" I don't think his family is a person who doesn't know how to be flexible. Now the profit is five or five points, and my brother-in-law will make more efforts in the future, so let's let his family take more profits, if it doesn't work, it's four or six, and if it doesn't work, it's three or seven. Someone has to manage it carefully, so that things can be done well, bigger, and longer. ”

"If it's three or seven points, there won't be much left in our family."

"The deal is going to be smashed, and there is not much left. Let's do it first, if you can have 50 taels a month, the 30 percent profit will also be 15 taels, according to other people's harvest in a year, what is there not to be satisfied. ”

Ye Shi thought that this was also the case, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll let your father say it tomorrow, as long as your brother-in-law agrees, we'll do it." ”

Star fruit nodded, and carried the medicine box back to the house to sort out the experience. When he walked out of the door, he remembered An Zhiyuan, and felt nauseous for a while, and then turned back and took the address of An's house: "I'll deliver the dishes from this house, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Ye Shi looked at the star fruit twice, and she always felt that there was something in the middle.

The girl is older, so she still has to settle on someone quickly. Hanging like this, I always feel like something is going to happen.

Ye Shi looked at the thin back of the star fruit, and the idea of saying goodbye to her was brought up again: I have to go to Wang Miao's mother-in-law tomorrow.

The star fruit dragged on for two days, and finally couldn't grind it before going to An Zhiyuan's house to deliver pickles. Coming out of his house safe and sound, the whole back of star fruit was covered with cold sweat.

She looked up at the majestic word 'Anfu' on the vermilion gate, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.

If you don't grow up and struggle for fame, fortune and status, you really can't live an upright and frank life.

Carambola thought of An Zhiyuan's ruffian face, and couldn't settle down in his heart: summer pickles are not easy to make, and it is troublesome to preserve, if An Zhiyuan calculates in advance, he will unite the major households to deceive her family into hoarding goods, but she doesn't want a catty, and her family can't stand the loss.

Although there is a deposit, that little bit of silver is not even a mosquito leg in the eyes of large families. Her family took those deposits, and it was not even enough for 30% of the cost. So, it's better to be on guard.

Thinking about it like this, the star fruit was a little unstable, and she went to the town to find her brother-in-law, thinking that she would secretly talk to him, so that her brother-in-law could be more guarded. If you can find a better way out, you won't be afraid of the difficulty of settling down.

The star fruit was considering the rhetoric all the way, and after repeated practice to think that there was no flaw, he quietly called Zhang Cun out.

Zhang Cun has not had family protection since he was a child, and his life has been cold and lonely for more than ten years. Since he and Yang Cui got married, the two got along well, and his father-in-law's family took care of him, and he was grateful to Yang Cui's family in his heart.

A few days ago, his father-in-law came to discuss him and said that he wanted to sell pickles together, and he readily agreed, and also rejected proposals such as four or six points, three or seven points.

His exact words were: "It's all a family, and what do you say is to take advantage of losses." If the father-in-law thinks that the son-in-law is still successful, then he will pay back five or five points, and if he says anything else, I will still go and fetch my firewood. ”

That being said, Zhang Cun is grateful to the Yang family for treating him sincerely.

So when star fruit came over, he was very enthusiastic. When the star fruit euphemistically said about the An family, although his brows were tightly furrowed and his face was full of worry, he didn't mean to blame the star fruit.

"Don't worry too much about business matters, and then deliver goods to other families, I'll find out who is close to An's family. When we take orders again, we also weigh them in our hearts, don't take other people's losses seriously. ”

Carambola scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "At present, it can only be like this, please trouble my brother-in-law to spend more time." ”

"If you say that, then it's a foreign way." Zhang Cun refilled a cup of tea for the star fruit, and said worriedly: "You are a girl's house, you should be careful when walking outside." If you provoke such a plague god, it's better to hide. ”

Carambola smiled helplessly: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Brother-in-law doesn't have to worry about me. ”

The two talked a few more words, and the star fruit was about to leave, before leaving, she repeatedly advised: "You can know this matter in your heart, don't let Sister and Aunt know about it, so as not to worry about it again." ”

Zhang Cun patted his chest and agreed.

Anyway, when they arrived in the town, star fruit thought about going to Zhao Langzhong. She encountered a strange illness a few days ago and wanted to consult Master.

When she arrived at the door of Qiao's pharmacy, she hesitated again. After Qiao Ping's wedding, star fruit was afraid to see Qiao's family again.

was hesitating, but Erya happened to come out of the shop, and when she saw the star fruit, she was stunned for a moment, and then greeted her with a smile: "Sister star fruit is here, go in and drink tea." ”

As she spoke, she affectionately took the carambola's arm and pulled her to the shop: "Aunt Wang and Uncle Qiao are here, I must be happy to see you." By the way, I'm also helping out in Qiao's shop now, Zhao Langzhong also praised me for my talent, maybe we still have the fate of four sisters. ”

As soon as he heard this, the star fruit, which was half-pushing and half-going to the shop, stopped.

She knew that Erya's words might not be believed, at least Zhao Langzhong would not accept a half-assed person like Erya as an apprentice. But if Aunt Wang and Uncle Qiao are here, then ......

"What's wrong?" Erya glanced at the star fruit ignorantly, dragged her inside: "You are Aunt Wang's favorite disciple, how can you not go in to say hello when you get to the door?" ”

Favorite? When was that?

Carambola broke away from Erya's hand and said with a reluctant smile: "I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'll come to apologize to Aunt Wang next time." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and ran a long way out.

Erya kept looking at her back, and a smug smile loomed on the corner of her lips.

After entering, Aunt Wang asked her, "Let you sort out the herbs, and as soon as you turn around, you will disappear, who are you talking to outside?" ”

Erya said frankly: "Sister Carambola, she just waved at me outside, and I went out." I didn't say a few words before I came in. ”

Aunt Wang's face darkened as expected, she put down her work, looked at Erya and asked, "What is the matter with her looking for you, and what can't she say in the shop?" ”

"I let her in, but she won't. She didn't say anything, so she asked if Brother Qiao and Sister-in-law Qiao were in the shop. I said no, and she left. I asked her what was going on, and she didn't say. ”

Aunt Wang's face was even darker: this star fruit is really restless!

She didn't have the heart to take care of the shop anymore, so she took off her apron and was going home. But before she could go out, a group of saber servants rushed into the pharmacy: "Detain all these people." ”
