Chapter 137
Not surprisingly, they received his unanimous appreciation, and the two soon signed a contract to sell Yanjin green plums and dried green plums to the shopkeeper Yang of the snack shop for fifteen yuan a catty.
The family was busy for more than half a month, and finally finished processing the green plums, and delivered a total of 150 catties of Yanjin green plums and 200 catties of dried green plums to the Yang shopkeeper, and got about five taels of silver.
In addition, there are still dozens of catties of green plums left in the family to be used to entertain guests on the day Zhang Lin'er got married.
The Zhang family did not know about selling green plums for money, except for the neighboring Yang Jinfeng family and the Qin family, the other families in the village did not know.
Li Xiaoshuang didn't deliberately hide it, it was only far away, and she didn't know who was moving.
After Yang Jinfeng and the Qin family or Li Xiaoshuang made dried green plums, they sent them to the two families twice before they learned that this green plum could still be sold for money!
In a few days, it's time to uncover the plum wine in the cellar.
Coupled with the remaining one or two taels of silver, Li Xiaoshuang has almost seven taels of silver in his hand, which is good for poor peasant families.
Li Xiaoshuang didn't avoid Zhang Lei'er's brothers and sisters when she counted the money, but only knocked it slightly, asking Zhang Lin'er, who was turning her elbow outward, not to be stupid and wear her own bottom outside.
Although Zhang Lin'er is outgoing, she is not a fool in the end, and she knows what to say and what not to say.
Besides, her mother-in-law also promised that if the family was rich, she would give more money for the dowry, if she said that she leaked her mouth, she would not give a cent, Zhang Lin'er was even more strict-mouthed, and the aunt of the Qin family came to ask, and she only said that she was making some hard-earned money, and did not disclose half a point to the public.
A few more days passed, and when the time came for the green plum wine to be unsealed, Li Xiaoshuang, Zhang Leier, and Zhang Lin'er stood in front of the first vat of green plum wine.
With Shiotsu Qingmei as a foreshadowing, the three of them were apprehensive and full of expectations at the same time.
Li Xiaoshuang carefully untied the strip of rag that sealed the mouth of the cylinder, and as soon as she opened an opening, a faint aroma of wine wafted out.
Zhang Lei'er and Zhang Lin'er glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes, and the two couldn't help but take a step forward, one holding the bowl, and the other sending the wooden spoon to Li Xiaoshuang.
Li Xiaoshuang took the wooden spoon and probed into the jar and touched a faint resistance, Li Xiaoshuang knew that this should be green plum wine.
Li Xiaoshuang scooped it up, poured the scooped wine into the bowl, and then took a sip.
The faint taste of green plum fruit wine fills the mouth, perhaps because the ingredients are different, the time is not enough, and the aroma of the wine is not strong.
Li Xiaoshuang immediately made a decision, and left it for a while before uncovering it.
Xu is dried green plums in front of them and this faint aroma of wine gave them confidence, Zhang Leier and Zhang Lin'er agreed very much, and agreed to Li Xiaoshuang's suggestion without any objections.
The Zhang family, who didn't have to work as a green plum, was much more idle all of a sudden, and this leisure only lasted for a few days, and then they began to be busy with Zhang Lin'er's marriage again.
Zhang Leier went into the mountains early in the morning to cut down trees and prepare to make some furniture for Zhang Lin'er to marry, Li Xiaoshuang was not idle, and thought of some ingenious things to prepare to add boxes to Zhang Lin'er.
Although this daughter is not likable, there is no shortage of others when she first came, but this one daughter, I still hope that she can marry well and live a better life in the future.
And the person she married was her benefactor in her previous life, and she looked forward to their happy life.
Li Xiaoshuang didn't have many gadgets to make, and the peasant family didn't have much money to buy some decorations, so Li Xiaoshuang could only use limited materials to make some flowers and wooden hairpins and other things for Zhang Lin'er.
The head flower is a few days ago to the market from the cloth shop to buy back the rag head, pick the big red to make a few ready to wear on the day of marriage, but also made a few plain, can be worn on weekdays.
The hairpin is made of wood scraps left over from Zhang Leier's furniture, and it is simply cut into a shape, and Li Xiaoshuang will not be able to carve it, so Zhang Lin'er already likes it tightly.
This made Li Xiaoshuang feel a little pity for this little daughter, thinking that when the green plum wine was sold at a good price, she gritted her teeth and bought her a set of silver-plated heads, maybe one or two taels of silver could also be bought!
There is no more, and the silver taels are worth a lot of money this year, so it's better to give cash than to buy some noodles!
Li Xiaoshuang thought about it, and his subordinates kept cutting wooden hairpins for Zhang Lin'er.
The whole yard is made of sawdust, some for furniture, and some for hairpins.
In addition to doing housework every day, Zhang Lin'er now has to find time to make her own wedding dress, and in addition, she has to make a few clothes for Qin Muhan to press the bottom of the box.
These began to be prepared as early as the day the family affair was completed, and there was still more than a month to go, which was enough for the Zhang family to buy a set of beautiful dowries for Zhang Lin'er.
Zhang Leier's furniture, Li Xiaoshuang occasionally gave one or two suggestions, which led to the finished product becoming the first in the village, which was very clever and atmospheric.
A few days before Zhang Lin'er got married, Qin Muhan went to Zhang's house and sent half a tael of silver, ready to buy pork for Li Xiaoshuang to entertain guests.
Li Xiaoshuang is very satisfied with Qin Muhan's affairs, from the perspective of her mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, such a character is worthy of her daughter's life.
It's just that this family is really poor, but the left family will help more in the future.
Li Xiaoshuang was not polite, Qin Muhan sent silver, and she also sent him, and after leaving him at home for a light meal, she also took a jar of green plum wine for him to take home before leaving, and waited for the day of marriage to entertain guests.
Qin Muhan was both grateful and ashamed of this, after all, his family was really stretched, and he borrowed a lot of foreign debts in order to buy a good banquet, and this green plum wine solved a big problem for him and saved him a lot of silver.
"Thank you, auntie!" There were only these few words left in a thousand words, and after Qin Muhan thanked him solemnly, he straightened his back and went home with the jar of wine very seriously.
"Han'er, can you send the money to buy meat to your aunt? Hey, what are you holding? ”
As soon as Qin Muhan appeared at the door, Dai Chun'e, who was sitting in the yard peeling corn, asked casually, looking at the jar in Qin Muhan's arms and was very puzzled.
"Mother."
Qin Muhan put the jar on the stone table in the courtyard, and then replied slightly: "This is what my aunt asked me to bring back, green plum fruit wine, let us entertain guests on the day we get married." ”
"Your aunt really has a heart."
Dai Chun'e smiled and nodded, patted the ash on her hand and looked at the green plum fruit wine curiously, the moment the lid was uncovered, the faint aroma of wine overflowed, and even Dai Chun'e, who didn't like to drink, subconsciously swallowed when she smelled this fragrance.
Dai Chun'e's face was happy, and her eyes lit up: "This wine is good!" I smell like I want a few drinks. ”
