My sister is also from Tongzhou, so I must know about the snack shop of the lady...... I don't know if you know the proprietor girl? ”

Luo Shiben lowered her eyes, and suddenly heard the temptation of the banyan banyan, her eyelids raised slightly, cast a smile and said indifferently:

"I recognize, I naturally recognize ......" paused, Luo Xi saw that Que Rong's face was like porcelain, she reluctantly smiled, and then said slowly: "It's just that I recognize her, she doesn't recognize me."

With the words of joke, the stone in the heart of the banyan fell to the ground, let out a long breath, and smiled awkwardly:

"That's a pity, if I can make friends with the girl from the owner's family, and learn from her to see how to make spicy dishes, I will only make spicy noodles...... It's a pity that I heard that she died in the fire and has died."

Que Rong was very sorry and sighed inadvertently.

Hearing this, the thoughtful woman spoke: "Daughter-in-law Shanzi, didn't you once work in a spicy vegetable workshop? Come by yourself, let's help you and open a spicy food shop in Liangzhou to make money! ”

The light in Que Rong's eyes flashed, and his face was still silent, his long eyebrows were frowning, and he looked very entangled and guilty:

"No, all the workshops that supply are signed documents, and only supply to one, if I open a workshop privately, it will be considered a broken rule"

The woman said indifferently: "Didn't you just say that the girl from the proprietor's house has been burned to death, everyone is dead, which one will pursue you, and across the road of the old man, who has the time to take care of the affairs of our bitter water town, Sister Querong, why don't we try?" ”

Que Rong was satisfied, but she still pretended to be embarrassed, and set her eyes on Manho's daughter-in-law and Luo Shi.

Luo Shi glanced at her indifferently, lowered her head and fiddled with the needlework basket, and smiled lightly:

"Spicy dishes need spicy seeds, and there doesn't seem to be a chili pepper in Liangzhou, right? The weather here is cool and frosty, I am afraid it is not suitable to plant peppers, if you want to transport spicy seeds from Tongzhou into Liangzhou, how much do you have to sell these two spicy dishes to not lose money? ”

Que Rong asked Erkui to bring spicy food, she hid it from everyone, and after listening to Luo Shi's words, she knew that Erkui must have told her.

After thinking about it, Que Rong said unhurriedly:

"Hiring a car to go to Liangzhou to buy spicy seeds is a loss-making business, but by the way, I will say two things, Sister Luo Shi should not forget, before Li Dahu left Liangzhou, but he had an appointment with the old bustard of the Red Sleeve Building, and there were goods to be shipped in the kiln, so he brought them to Liangzhou to sell, and the left and right did not harm our Kushui Township, and sold them to the town as concubines for large families to make small, which was also a sum of silver."

The implication of her words is that the travel expenses for the purchase of chili peppers are deducted with the silver from the abduction and sale of Sister Yao in the Red Sleeve Building, which is a business-free business that makes sure that it does not lose money.

Luo sneered and said no more.

Manchu's daughter-in-law felt uncomfortable, but because Erkui was also bought by her, she didn't have any position to accuse her, although she put aside this spicy vegetable deal in her heart, she still didn't choke back.

However, the other two women, when they heard the idea of the banyan, their eyes lit up, and they liked it very much, and even put down the work of sewing cotton clothes in their hands, and pulled the banyan to ask carefully how to make spicy dishes.

Que Rong appeased for a while, drew a big cake for them, and pulled it but avoided talking about the method of making spicy strips, which was the secret recipe of her beginning, how could she let outsiders know?

Seeing that except for Luo Shi and Manchu's daughter-in-law, the rest of the women agreed to join the spicy vegetable workshop, and made a good amount of money together with her banyan and horse heads, and slowly, she led the conversation to Luo Shi:

"Sister Luo, you and I are both from Tongzhou, I want to come to eat the spicy dishes of the lady's snack shop, if the taste of my sister is deviated, I hope my sister will correct it, I hope my sister will open this spicy food shop with me, we are lonely and out, we must be closer than sisters"

Luo Shiwan refused: "I promised Dr. Zhang of the Rejuvenation Hall to deal with the medicinal materials, and I also want to help the lining of Shengzi nitrate leather goods, I am afraid that there is no energy and time, you have these capable aunts to help you is enough, I wish you all the best, the source of wealth is wide, the day the workshop opens, I will definitely come to congratulate"

These words are invulnerable, water can't be splashed, and the banyan wants to persuade but has no way to speak, and the arguments and reasoning should be stopped.

She unwillingly cast her eyes on the daughter-in-law who was full of hoards-

Manho's daughter-in-law didn't know how to act, she dodged her eyes, just waved her hand to herself and said: "Don't be, I'm naturally afraid of spicy, I cough more than I eat spicy, I'm afraid I can't do this job, Shanzi daughter-in-law, you better find someone else!" ”

The corners of Que Rong's mouth twitched, barely evoked a smile, and said lightly:

"In this case, I won't be reluctant, when the workshop is successfully opened, I will invite my sister and aunt to come over and have a look."

Having said that, the matter is basically on the table, and the cotton clothes will continue to be sewn, but the women's minds have already flown away.

They talked and laughed around the banyan tree, and they were very attentive, and they were very excited with the big cake drawn by the banyan in their arms, and they were going to pester her to tell her about the girl from the owner in Tongzhou. Build a house and open a shop, so that General He Da will recognize him as a righteous granddaughter, and his wealth will be extensive.

The sun was setting, and there were still a few stitches in the cotton clothes, and the women left one after another under the pretext that they wanted to go home to cook for their husbands and in-laws.

Manchu's daughter-in-law lit the oil lamp, continued to sew stitches under the lamp, and said with emotion:

"Que Rong is a good person, and she is a proper person, I should go with her to run this spicy workshop, but-"

Luo Xi glanced at the past and said with a smile: "But what? It's not too late now, so I'll chase her out and tell her, just say that Aunt Cuiying's illness is cured, and she won't cough up after eating spicy food."

The daughter-in-law pretended to snort, and said with a smile: "What are you doing with me making fun of, don't you want to go, the spicy is nothing, but when I heard that I wanted to sell the kiln sister to make money to calculate the cost, it was not a decent business after all, I just went, and my heart was not steady!" ”

"That's it, what do you regret, peace of mind and I made cotton clothes, I'll go to the stove to cook - I asked Shengzi to call Brother Manchu, let's eat dinner at my house tonight"

Luo Shi put down the needle and thread in her hand, rubbed her sour eyes, she lifted the teapot and refilled a cup of tea for her daughter-in-law.

"Go, go, the lamp oil is expensive, I did it quickly, there are still some stitches, and it will be fine soon!"

Nodding, Luo Shi covered the door and walked outside, wanting to go to the stove shed, but suddenly thought that there was still a basin of white noodles on the wooden board of the water tank in the backyard, so he turned around and went to the backyard.

In the distance, she saw that the banyan had not yet returned home, and was squatting at the root of the tree in the backyard, not knowing what she was tinkering with, Luo Shi's eyelids jumped, and she said in a loud voice:

"Daughter-in-law Shanzi, what are you doing here?"

Que Rong was obviously frightened, her back trembled, she clenched the thing in her hand, immediately stood up from the root of the tree, and smiled at Luo Shi with her back hand:

"Sister Luo, is this going to cook? I just had some stomach cramps, so I squatted on the tree for a while, and I was going back."

"......" Luo Shi saw her words flickering, and she was suspicious.

With a wave of his hand, the banyan dusted off the dust on his shirt and trousers, walked away, and walked away, taking small steps, and then turned into the country road and returned home to the east.

Luo Shi walked to the place where the banyan had just squatted, and saw that the soil at the root of the tree was hurriedly buried, and she used her heel to loosen the soil, revealing the residue of the medicine inside—this was the residue of Luo Shi's fetal medicine, and she had fallen into this tree pit in the past.

Luo's eyes dimmed, and she was prepared for the worst.

*

Maybe Luo Shi thought too much, or maybe the banyan really didn't discover the secret of the fetal pill, and in the next few days, the two sides were fine. Luo Shi was busy picking medicinal herbs, Shengzi was busy hunting and making leather goods, and Que Rong and a few women were planning to open a spicy vegetable workshop.

Although Luo Shi couldn't let go of it in her heart, gradually, she didn't have the same back as she did at the beginning.

Dr. Zhang brought back good news from the fur merchant, who said that he had taken a fancy to the craft of shengzi nitrate, and in addition to collecting the skins he had peeled from hunting, he was also willing to give shengzi raw hides and nitrate, and then pay him according to the color and quantity.

With this stable income, Luo Shi is relieved, even if she leaves quietly in the future, Shengzi will have a way to earn money, and she can live a good life alone.

In winter, the cotton jacket is loose, especially the newly made lotus muslin jacket, and the rasson deliberately makes the waist looser, so as to hide the bulging pregnant belly in the coming day. Shengzi was wearing a newly made indigo short jacket, and he was in a very good mood, even if he wanted to go up the mountain to hunt, he wanted to wear it, so he asked Luo Shi to bury it, and he was deducted three broad beans at insistence, so he gave up obediently.

The days go by day by day, and because of the income, the family always has no worries about eating and drinking. After eating and closing, Luo Shi slowly began to pay attention to nutritional matching, she would make herself some suitable food for pregnant women, while eating fetal medicine to recuperate the fetus, while eating as much as possible to nourish and nourish, watching her face become more and more ruddy, her mood is also relaxed and relaxed.

It is worth mentioning that after she washes her hands and faces every day, she will also take out the jade cream and apply it to the scar, which is cool and comfortable.

After a little and a half of the cold days, I finally got through to Laba, and Erkui should come back.

On this day, Manchu's daughter-in-law changed into a new set of clothes, with brown sleeves on her sleeves, she went to the town early to cut pork and went home, planning to cook well to reward Erkui who had been in the dust all the way.

Luo Shi also took advantage of her spare time to learn needlework with her daughter-in-law, and awkwardly accepted a pair of insoles for Erkui, all of which were her own thoughts.

Before noon, Luo Shi was drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard, and suddenly heard the hurried footsteps of his daughter-in-law outside, and knew that Erkui had returned.

She put down the dustpan in her hand, wiped her hands, and followed her to Manho's house.

When I arrived outside the hospital, I saw that Erkui was jumping off the wheel—after a month, he had grown taller, wearing a cyan robe covering his half-arm jacket, like a bamboo-like boy, with a handsome charm between his eyebrows.

"Sister!"

Erkui shouted to her affectionately, shrugged up, walked up to her with great strides and said, "Sister's face has healed a lot."

Luo Shi raised his hand and touched the injury, he didn't feel it when he looked in the mirror every day, but Erkui noticed it at a glance, and said with a smile: "That's a good thing, I don't want to be called an ugly woman and dumb daughter-in-law behind my back for the rest of my life, how about it, is it smooth all the way?" ”

Erkui nodded, his eyes were bright, obviously he had traveled alone all the way through the mountains and rivers, and he had gained a lot:

"Everyone has been delivered safely, Sister Ah didn't see the scene of the family reunion, no matter how hard and tiring the road is, I am worth it! Oh, also, pepper seeds I also brought back, is from Niujia Village to buy seeds, originally not sold to outsiders, I was worried, after meeting a grandmother surnamed Niu asked me what I want this spicy for, I only said that a sister likes to eat spicy, so I want to grow some to eat, and I don't buy much, so I sold it to me! ”

Cow's Milk ......

Luo Shi's heart was warm, although she was gone, but this spicy seed had already grown a reputation, and it was easy to sell chili seeds if she didn't sell them, and everyone still took her words in front.

Erkuijing went to open the curtain of the carriage, took out a bag of chili seeds from it and handed it to Rashi.

Luo Shi took it, looked up, and saw that the car was full of a bunch of dried chili peppers, Erkui scratched his head and explained:

"The dried chili peppers I collected from elsewhere, they are not as red and spicy as those in Niujia Village, so Sister Que Rong asked for them, so I bought some ...... together."

Luo Shi pursed her lips and smiled:

"I think she is hiding from many people that you can do things, you better wait for her to come to the door to pick it up, and rush to her house, I'm afraid she won't want to ...... Let's go, let's go into the house and talk, your mother has made a table of good dishes for you."

"Good!" The young man smiled, his eyes full of joy after returning home.
