Chapter 72: Dragon Boat Festival
With the back of the dart-shaped big man, Mu Wanqiu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and shouted, "Little Er, pick a big ...... for me."
"Hey, this is coming...... Xiao Er was busy neatly, "Girl, you can eat it with confidence, you want to ......eat it next time" pointed to the back of the big man who was far away, "See, the famous Ma Erye on East Street, just eat fried chicken in the small shop, and you have to come to such a half-...... every three or five days."
As he spoke, he handed the wrapped oily fried chicken to Mu Wanqiu.
took the hundred coins she handed over and counted them, looked up and shouted at Mu Wanqiu's back, "Girl, go slowly, come back after eating......
After a turn in the food alley, Mu Wanqiu's hands were already full, and she was about to leave, when she looked down and saw the seller of live fish, she couldn't help but buy two more fresh salmon, let Xiao Er pick it up and walk back, only walked a few steps, and stopped, "Uncle Li likes to drink, I should buy some more wine...... Thinking of this, he turned around again and bought a bottle of fine bamboo leaf green.
When she came to the door of Suozi's house, Mu Wanqiu was already sweating profusely, and kicked the door twice with her foot, "...... Auntie, open the door. ”
"Who......" Lock Lady trotted open the door, "God, what are you doing?" "Reach out and help Mu Wanqiu take it," ...... Let you come to eat dumplings, you buy these dry? ”
"I'm paid today, it's three and a half......" Mu Wanqiu's face flushed with excitement.
"It's not such a flowery way to send a lot...... "Suozi Niang said with a straight face while looking for a pot to put fish, "How much silver is this, tsk...... You actually bought Zhu Yeqing, which is more than 300 yuan a bottle in East Street, and your uncle only drinks 3 yuan and 1 tael of burning knives......"
Mu Wanqiu stuck out her tongue, "...... It's not the Dragon Boat Festival. ”
"That's not good...... put it away, the lock lady picked up the bottle of bamboo leaf green, "Go, tell my aunt where I bought it, and my aunt will return it......" Pulled Mu Wanqiu and walked out, "Three hundred, take care of the flowers, it's enough for two months......"
"Auntie......" Mu Wanqiu pulled the lock lady, "These are only more than one or two silver ......" in the previous life, it doesn't count at all, "Today's holiday, you let your uncle drink some good ......" and took out the remaining broken silver in his pocket and showed it to the lock girl, "Look, I still have more than two taels left...... and pointed in the direction of Li Ji, "Li Ji still has more than four hundred cuts of money to give, I really have silver...... "Pull the lock mother's arm hard," ...... Just this time, I'll save ...... in the future."
“…… A tael of silver? Suozi Niang jumped up in distress, "It's enough for me to spend half a year with your uncle...... "No, your mother is sick, I can't let you spend money so much, go, my aunt will accompany you to ......"
"Auntie......" Mu Wanqiu screamed, "My mother's illness is cured......" Seeing that the lock lady didn't let go, she lowered her head and took off the label on the wine bottle, "Look, this sign has been removed, and it can't be returned......" looked up and smiled at the lock girl.
"You...... You kid ......" I didn't expect Mu Wanqiu to do such a childish way, Suozi Niang looked at her in a daze and sighed.
Snatching the wine bottle away, Mu Wanqiu pushed her into the house, "Auntie, just this once......"
"Hey, you kid......" Locksmith sighed.
Seeing a pot full of dumplings in the house, Mu Wanqiu exclaimed, "...... Auntie has already chopped the dumplings? "I went up and stirred it twice with my chopsticks," ...... I also deliberately came out early, so I thought I would help you chop the meat......" looked down and sniffed, "It's so fragrant...... "She can't remember how long it has been since she has eaten dumplings."
"It's nothing, I'll chop it first......" Suozi Niang looked at the leaky pot, "Ah Qiu sat down and rested first, your uncle said that he would go to Nancheng to deliver goods, and it would take a long time to stay for half an hour and then wrap it up......"
"Well......" Mu Wanqiu smiled and nodded, "Sannier is also resting, and it just so happens that she came to wrap ...... together"
Cai Mu Wanqiu was covered with sweat, and the lock lady pulled a handkerchief from the wire rope above her head, "Look at this child's hot, wipe it quickly." Pulled Mu Wanqiu's clothes, "Tsk, it's all season, and you're still wearing a jacket, it's strange if it's not hot......" turned around and poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "I remember when you first came last year, you wore those sets of clothes that looked weird, it was autumn at that time, and I thought you were wearing a little thin, and now it's the season, I don't see you wearing it?" ”
The clothes are lying in the pawnshop.
When pawning, she only gave more than one or two taels of silver for each piece, and she went to redeem it today, but she asked for two or three taels, and she was not willing to give it.
Although she earns a lot, she has officially begun to learn perfumery, in addition to spices, ceramics, clay pots, she also has to buy wine, alum and other accessories, and she needs more silver.
Her lips moved, Mu Wanqiu didn't say anything, she took the water and drank it.
Seeing Mu Wanqiu's shoulder, the lock lady pressed her on the chair, turned around to find a needle and thread, and stood there sewing it for her, "...... At that time, I was afraid of freezing you, I stuffed a thin layer of cotton in this jacket, and now it is too thick, you Ming'er will find out all the summer clothes, and I will sew them for you, let's make do with them first......"
For the children of the poor, there is no need to buy new clothes every year.
"I ......" Mu Wanqiu hesitated for a moment, "I took those clothes as ......"
“…… When she stopped her movements, Suozi Niang looked at Mu Wanqiu in surprise, remembering that when she first came, it was only one hundred and fifty a month, and she didn't know anyone in the neighborhood, so she lowered her head and sighed, "...... Poor child. ”
“…… I've grown a lot taller this year," Mu Wanqiu smiled lightly, "I can't wear it anymore, I'll pull a few feet of flower cloth tomorrow, and my aunt will help me sew one." ”
"If you don't have clothes, don't you say ......it earlier," the lock lady complained, "I met the cheap flower cloth in the wax moon, and your uncle bought a batch, I only made a cotton jacket, and the rest are in the cabinet, the fabric is really strong, but the color is old, don't dislike it, I'll find it out for you tomorrow......"
"Well, it's okay to wear it...... Mu Wanqiu nodded vigorously.
The lock lady lowered her head and bit off the thread with her teeth, "Okay, you rest for a while, I'll go and ...... noodles"
"I'll help you ......" Mu Wanqiu also stood up.
"Mother...... I'm ......," he said, and the lock ran in with a dusty face.
“…… So early, what about your father? The lock lady grabbed him.
"It's a holiday today, it's all over at noon, my father didn't go to Nancheng to deliver goods, he went to Dongjie with the owner, and didn't let me follow ......" Suozi poked his head out from his mother and looked at Mu Wanqiu, "Ah Qiu is here, my mother said that I want to eat dumplings at night, I just went to Lin Ji to look for you......" sniffed again, flashing black and slimy eyes looking around, "Taste, so fragrant......"
"Just the tip of your nose ......" the lock lady slapped him hard, "the clothes I just wore were torn again......"
"The ...... that hangs in the dog hole" The lock stuck out his tongue at Mu Wanqiu, "Lin Ji's dog hole has become smaller, I have to squeeze hard to ......"
"It's our chains that have grown taller......" Mu Wanqiu rubbed his hair.
Like being blown by the air, the lock grew taller and thicker in the spring.
“…… Is it? No wonder the clothes have become smaller. The lock lowered his head and tugged at the clothes, remembered, and looked up at Mu Wanqiu again, "I'm afraid I won't be able to send you materials in the future......"
“…… What is this possible? Suozi Niang frowned, "The owner also praised you for cutting well, the ingredients you cut were specially concocted into high-quality spices and sold at a high price, a few days ago I also discussed wanting to ask for you, I heard that you actually became the master of Lin Ji, there are three and a half pieces of silver every month, at that time the intestines were repentant, saying that it was for you to rise to three catties and a penny, and asked if you could cut more." Sighing, "He doesn't want you to give up Li Ji's work......"
With Mu Wanqiu's current salary, there is no need to earn Li Ji's hundreds of dollars.
"It's okay...... Mu Wanqiu lowered her head and thought about it, "I'll talk to Sister-in-law Lin, and in the future, I will justifiably cut the ingredients for Li Ji, and I don't have to hide ......."
Master Liu is gone, she doesn't need to be as winged as before.
“…… Can it be done without skipping words. It's hard to find a job for three or two halves of silver a month, and life has just improved a little, and Suozi Niang is worried that Mu Wanqiu will lose Lin Ji's job, "...... Will she be afraid that you will delay your work? ”
"It's okay, she hired a handyman again, and I will be responsible for making a pot of incense every three days, which is much easier than before, Li Ji needs it, I can also cut more ......" Mu Wanqiu's knife technique is a lot faster, and she only needs half an hour now, and she earns more than before, but despite this, she still only cuts those ingredients every day, and most of them are used to learn perfumery.
If Li Jiken gives a higher price, she can also cut a few more quarters of an hour every day.
"But......" The lock lady is still not at ease, "...... Will she quit you in a fit of rage? "Master Liu has been doing it for more than ten years, and she just quit her speech, not to mention Mu Wanqiu, an orphan girl who was born as a handyman?
She was reluctant
Mu Wanqiu smiled slightly, "...... If she wants to quit, I'll go to Li Kee. ”
“…… There are several masters of Li Ji, but the salary is not so high for you" The lock lady glared at her, "A month is only a few hundred more than when you do handymanship, or ...... You just quit Li Ji? ”
"Auntie, don't worry, it's okay, I'll talk to Sister-in-law Lin tomorrow......" Mu Wanqiu said undoubtedly, it doesn't matter how much silver there is, the main thing is that the knife worker she can't let is wasted.
The lock lady's brow twisted into a pimple.
“…… Fried chicken is really fragrant" Looking for the fragrance, the lock finally got the fried chicken on the table and a lot of delicious food, poking the oily paper bag with his fingers, and drooling greedily.
Coming back to her senses, Suozi Niang slapped his hand away, "Carefully dirty, this is what your sister Aqiu bought, wait for your father to eat together at night......"
“…… Sister Aqiu is getting paid again? Suozi looked up at Mu Wanqiu.
Every time Sister Aqiu paid her salary, she bought him delicious food.
"Sister has increased her salary...... Mu Wanqiu patted his little head and winked at him, "Go wash your hands......"
Immediately understood what she meant, the lock answered, turned around and ran.
