The little ÷ said ◎ Net], the ♂ little ÷ said ◎ Net],

Hearing Ziyu's words explain the identity of his father-in-law, Scarlet Jade was surprised.

At the beginning, she followed Bai Yusheng, but she didn't understand the identity of the people in the rivers and lakes, and was teased several times by several old people in the Absolute String Valley, and later learned that they were once famous in the rivers and lakes.

"How does Miss know?"

"We met yesterday, and I guessed the ......" Ziyu said succinctly.

But the heart is relaxed, the old man yesterday also seems to be a kind person, Scarlet Jade has now entered the rivers and lakes, and he can have such a backer in the rivers and lakes, and he can't be wronged anyway.

Then he took Scarlet Jade, "The family is cooking, you can go back with me to eat together." In the afternoon, I will also go to the town to buy some rice and noodles. ”

"Yes." Crimson naturally did not refuse.

"By the way, Ah Wen has no memory, including himself and the people of Jimo Village, and no one knows his identity." Ziyu reminded Scarlet Jade that it was already clear.

"Miss, don't worry, Scarlet Jade understands ......"

After all, if the identities of the two were spread out, they would be able to set off a big storm.

looked at Ziyu a little stunned, "When Scarlet Jade left, Miss was only fifteen, and in the blink of an eye, seven years have passed, and Miss has changed a lot." ”

Ziyu turned his head, "Crimson Jade is the same for you, in the past, my mother said that you were calm and thoughtful, and you are calmer now than before." "When I mentioned the child's father the day before, my eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, and this heart was really heavy.

Crimson smiled.

Qiao'er saw that Ziyu went out to pick a dish and came back, so she brought two more people, and she was curious, "Sister Xiaoyu, these two are ......."

“…… It's all my friends...... "Ziyu pulled the scarlet jade, "there are more people today, I make one more fish, I see that there are many salted fish, I boiled it in water, and used it to fry ......"

"Sister Xiaoyu, you can do it when you look at it." Qiao'er looked at the two of them, turned her head and said, "I'll call Ah Lang and Brother Ah Wen." ”

"Okay."

Ziyu nodded, took two salted fish, and Scarlet Yu looked around and took the initiative to help.

"If Madame sees Miss like this, I'm afraid she will feel distressed."

"I marry my husband and follow my husband, my mother will understand......" Ziyu bent the corner of his eyes.

After a while, Qiao'er came back with Ah Lang and Ah Wen, and Scarlet Jade saluted Ah Wen, "I've seen my uncle." "Then he bowed to Ah Lang.

Ah Lang has been to Guanshan Town, and he also went to Qiao'er to buy a flower chicken in the past, and he has seen the proprietress of Baiyulou change last year, but the proprietress of Baiyulou actually called Uncle Awen.

Qiao'er also guessed that when she went to Guanshan Town, she passed by Fang Yuanwai's house, and there was a scholar who came to Fang Yuanwai's house, and the servant called the scholar respectfully.

Ziyu said.

"Okay, let's have dinner together, and I'll go to town with Qiao'er in a while."

A few people sat down simply, because there was a scarlet jade girl today, and a few people were not as casual as the previous two days, but Ah Wen briefly explained, "Yantian and Ah Lang are divided into ten pieces, and there will be a prototype the day after tomorrow, so you can try it." ”

Ziyu nodded, remembered something and turned to Scarlet Jade and said, "Scarlet Jade, since you own a restaurant, do you know the price of salt?" ”

Bai Yusheng gave Scarlet Jade a few restaurants, all in different places, except for this Guanshan Town, which was chosen by Scarlet Jade herself, the others are all in big places, all of them are profitable, and Scarlet Jade also has to look at the account books every year.

Arwen raised his eyes and listened quietly.

"Salt is coarse salt and fine salt, because the cost of transporting salt is quite high, so most of the local restaurants are mining salt locally, to the northeast, the price of salt is low, from 300 wen a catty, the closer to the sea, the cheaper. In the northwest region, the higher the price of salt, in the Liangzhou region, the highest refined salt is 900 wen a catty, and there may not be. Most of these places use brine, not salt, because ordinary people can't afford salt. The news given by Scarlet Jade is far more detailed than what Ah Wen inquired about before, "Miss and Uncle want to be salt merchants?" ”

The more you go to the northwest region, ordinary people have halogen, and they don't use salt if they don't have halogen.

Ziyu nodded, "Ordinary people can't afford salt at home, so there is always a lot of salt in the restaurant." ”

Although salt may not come out yet, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

Scarlet Jade thought for a while, "If Miss and Uncle really have a large amount of salt and the price is suitable, I can help, but the one used in the restaurant must be refined salt." "The taste of refined salt and coarse salt and marinade is very different, and it is easy to distinguish when it falls into the dish.

"Salt may not be able to do it, but if you need help, I won't be polite ......" Ziyu looked at Scarlet Jade seriously, and his tone was solemn.

Scarlet Jade was stunned for a while, and said, "Okay." ”

I thought that time had passed, and it had been seven years since I met again, and she felt that she was still in a hurry when Miss left yesterday, but today she thought too much.

After lunch, Ziyu and Qiao'er were going to Guanshan Town, but they didn't procrastinate, but Ah Wen said, "You want to go to Guanshan Town, let Ah Lang accompany you." ”

Along the way, when they returned, there were only two weak women, which was not very safe.

Ziyu didn't refuse, yesterday Ah Lang and Qiao'er reclaimed the land for a whole day, and today is also a day off for the two.

Along the way, Scarlet Jade and Ziyu talked about homely things, and Qiao'er on the side listened to the conversation between the two, bit her lip, and asked timidly after a while, "Miss Scarlet Jade is the proprietress of Baiyulou, listening to the tone, the relationship between Miss Scarlet Jade and Sister Xiaoyu seems to be very close." ”

Scarlet Jade nodded, but she didn't hide it, "It's not a secret, I used to be Madame's maidservant." ”

Ziyu hurriedly said, "Although Scarlet Jade used to be my mother's personal maidservant, she has a very good relationship with my mother, even if she is half of my mother's daughter, and half of my sister, she has now redeemed herself from slavery, so she is not a slave." ”

Ziyu said this, but he was afraid that people would look down on Scarlet Jade, but Ziyu thought about it too much.

It is a very normal thing to sell yourself as a slave here, and people in poor places often go to big families to sell themselves for a few years to do work, and when they leave, there are many people who take the silver and leave, but to Qiao'er's surprise, a slave and maid also talk like this. Scarlet Jade and Sister Xiaoyu are very natural when they talk, compared to the confusion when she first listened to Sister Xiaoyu, people can't tell what it feels like, as if even if they are wearing coarse clothes and inferior cloth, they are different from them in their bones.

This feeling of only looking up to Brother Awen in the past, Brother Awen is a man, Qiao'er doesn't think it, but when Ziyu came out, she couldn't help but feel jealous in her heart, and then she couldn't tell what it felt, and now a former maid has such a conversation, Qiao'er feels that compared to herself, she is like a turtle that can only stay in the mud pit forever.

Regardless of Ah Lang's desire to hold his hand, he walked quickly to Ziyu and Scarlet Jade, "That Scarlet Jade girl is literate?" There were many people in the village who had been slaves to rich families, but not many of them were literate. ”

Ziyu looked at Qiao'er.

When Qiao'er said this, it was a temptation, but there were more things in the words that could not be said.

Scarlet Jade raised her eyebrows slightly, "Rich people may not be called big families, although illiterate people are common, but they are easy to be taken advantage of." There are many servants in the house, although the master is a martial artist, but the lady does not like reckless people, literacy is necessary. Only by recognizing the words can the servants understand the etiquette and law, and as a ...... The people in the house learned about the advance and retreat. ”

The first few words, Qiao'er couldn't understand them, but knowing the three advances and retreats made her froze, and she didn't know why she felt like she was talking about herself when she was saying these three words.

He pursed his lips, and his face was red and white.

Ziyu knew that Qiao'er was thin-skinned, although she was kind-natured, but occasionally she also had a strong sense of self-esteem, and she was busy saying, "Actually, it is not necessarily, there are many literate people in the high-ranking officials and nobles, but they are still stubborn, and they read a lot of books, but they have a bunch of crooked reasoning." In the end, it also varies from person to person, and being illiterate does not mean that you don't know etiquette, and being literate doesn't mean that you know etiquette. ”

Scarlet Jade looked at Ziyu and took two steps back, "Miss has a unique opinion, but Scarlet Jade has a narrow view." ”

Even though Ziyu solved these embarrassments, Qiao'er pursed her lips and felt as if there was something blocked in her heart.

Ah Lang frowned and came up to take Qiao'er's hand, and Ziyu saw this and pulled Scarlet Jade away.

"Qiao'er, what's wrong with you?" Since Ah Lang knew Qiao'er's thoughts, he treated Qiao'er even more than before.

Qiao'er looked up at Ah Lang, and after a while, she said softly, "I want to be like that too." ”

Ah Lang frowned, but he didn't understand, "What kind of person?" ”

Qiao'er took a deep breath, looked at the two figures who didn't disturb her and Ah Lang not far away, and stood there with a calm and unhurried bearing.

"I ...... I can't tell......" Qiao'er felt her heart bulging, "It's like, you're going to follow Brother Awen to make a salt pan, I'...... I also want to be like Sister Xiaoyu. ”

At the beginning, she thought that Ziyu was just a pampered daughter of Miss Qianjin, and if she was also born into a large family, she could do the same.

But a maid also has such a bearing that makes her unreachable, Qiao'er feels that she can't see, touch, or say what this kind of thing is, but she just wants to, wants to be such a person.

Somehow, Ah Lang suddenly remembered what Ziyu had said to him.

I teach you.

So he said to Qiao'er, "If you want to learn to cook, Miss Ziyu won't be stingy and not teach you." "Just listened to him, Qiao'er wants to be literate?

Thinking of this, Qiao'er's eyes lit up, and she turned her head and chased after her, "Sister Xiaoyu, let's go, if you don't leave, it will be dark." ”

When they arrived in the town, they parted at the entrance of the town.

went to buy rice and face, spent a few dollars, and let Ah Lang carry the heavy weight.

When I passed by the pharmacy, I heard a crowd of people and outrageous voices inside.

"No money, what kind of medicine do you see!" Zhou Qi kicked away the young man at his feet.

The man hugged Zhou Qi's leg and refused to let go, "As you said, it will be good to take that medicine for about half a month, but my father has been taking it for more than two months, and the illness is getting worse and worse, and the family's money is used up. The man's eyes were red, and he had the urge to break the net with Zhou Qiyu.

"Your father is a lot older, and young people will naturally get better after eating it for half a month, and whether your father is better or not is your father's problem! I said a long time ago to choose a pair of silver medicine, your father is already fine, but you don't listen! Don't you understand the principle of spending more money and suffering less? ”
