Chapter 475: Sizi

In the days that followed, the peppers sold well. However, even if the shipment is controlled, it is not enough to sell every day, and after ten days of work, almost seven or eight thousand catties were sold.

Lai Xi was in a hurry, except for the chili peppers sold to the neighbors at 25 wen a catty, the price of those sold to foreign merchants was all increased - 60 wen a catty, and at most only 200 catties were allowed.

"I said I'm happy, why don't you have any chili peppers? My aunt didn't buy it yesterday, and I didn't buy it today, so you also said that the people at the door should take care of it more, so why don't you get more chili peppers? "A mother-in-law didn't buy chili peppers, and she was entangled with Laixi unrelentingly.

Laixi's warm smile, which had not changed for thousands of years, also turned into a wry smile at this time: "Auntie, I also have to do business and eat." Selling 200 catties a day to the neighborhood, a lot. You know, I sold it to outsiders for sixty pounds a pound now. "He really doesn't understand, what is the head of this chili pepper?

Because rich people are rich, they don't care if they eat summer vegetables in winter, no matter how expensive they are, but ordinary people, why do they have to eat this? It's not that there are no greens to eat, aren't there yellow cabbage, Chinese cabbage, white radishes and carrots sold on the street, and even green garlic sprouts, spinach, and coriander, which is also a lot, spending 25 yuan to buy chili peppers, and the brain is in water!

He didn't know that he was the fault of all this.

Think about it, the chili peppers that people need to spend 60 yuan to buy, and the residents of Xiatangji can buy them for only 25 yuan.

Uncle Yu next door couldn't look past it, and stepped forward and said to the mother-in-law: "Old sister-in-law, it's not easy to be happy." If he sells one pound of chili peppers to the neighbors, he will earn thirty-five dollars less, and he will sell two hundred catties a day, which is seven taels of silver. The old sister-in-law also asked the family to get more, who can stand it? When people open their doors to do business, isn't that to make money? Even if you make profits, you have to have a sense of proportion, and the gentleman must also take care of his own mile. "People just buy chili peppers. I really haven't calculated this account, and when I heard it at this time, I couldn't help but be speechless: Seven taels of silver? Some shops don't earn more than three taels of silver a day.

The more this happens, the more I feel that I must eat the chili pepper. It's too much of a loss not to eat.

The mother-in-law also felt embarrassed, so she had to buy half a catty of braised bamboo shoots.

It is also heart-wrenching to listen to Uncle Yu's accounting, but he can't go back on his word, it's not a matter for his heart to go on like this!

With a roll of his eyes, he instructed his men to greet the guests. I got out of the shop, stood in front of the person, coughed, and said in a loud voice: "Uncles and aunts, what I said will naturally count, and I will never regret it." But everyone also saw that there were fewer chili peppers, and there were more people buying them. Rao is that I have lost money and offended people, am I easy? Let's think of a way to let everyone fight. I can also make a little money, and I feel more comfortable. The dozen or so people around laughed and said, "There is a good way, although we say it, we are not unreasonable people." Lai Xi smiled: "Usually everyone buys chicken, and I will send some additional dishes when I buy more." Nowadays, chili peppers are in demand, so it is better to sell them with vegetables: anyone who buys a pound of chili peppers must buy other dishes besides lotus leaf chicken, such as bamboo shoots, peanuts, soybeans, and lotus leaf chicken will not work - if you want to buy me, I don't have so many chickens, and I don't have enough chickens to sell every day. "Someone said, don't all your dishes sell out every day. One day I came late and didn't buy a mile, what do you want with chili?

Lai Xi smiled: "I said this idea, and in the future, these dishes will naturally be made more, and some more varieties will be added." Everyone helped to spread the word to someone, so that no one would be angry when they came to buy chili peppers. "Everyone said yes.

Because Lailai came up with this idea, Chrysanthemum asked him to arrange for someone to buy chickens and ducks at the market every morning. The Zhang family also bought fish from Li Changxing's family and Liu Sanshun's family in the village, and then added two varieties of roast fish and roast duck every day. Due to the lack of lotus leaves, the rice dumpling leaves wrapped in zongzi are also very fragrant. This dumpling leaf is easier to keep than the lotus leaf, so the chrysanthemum is stored a lot, especially for emergency relief.

Braised bamboo shoots, braised peanuts and braised soybeans naturally made more, and Mrs. Wu and her two daughters-in-law came over every night to help with the short-term work.

In the morning, Liu Heizi drove the ox cart to deliver the goods, and then brought back the chickens, ducks and fish he bought. Last year's drought cleared the bottom of the ponds in the countryside, and it was difficult to buy big fish, so I had to search around.

It's busy, making the cold winter extra lively.

On this day, He Shi was cold, lying in bed, and Chrysanthemum discussed with Huaizi to send her to Yunying to take a look and grab some medicine to eat.

He shook his head on the pillow and said, "I just feel that my nose is a little stuffy, my head is a little swollen, and I think it's cold." Let the sister of the Liu family boil some ginger soup for me to drink, where to take medicine. It's not always like that. Chrysanthemum persuaded: "Mother, we can't compare with usual, don't you usually have no money and no good doctor, now Doctor Yun and Doctor Qin live in the village, don't carry these minor illnesses, go and let Doctor Yun see without delaying things." After Qin Feng and Yunying's lawsuit was concluded, he came back from Qinghui, and the Tai Hospital sent two young Tai Doctors and three stable women in the palace to come over to learn caesarean section with him.

If someone in Qingnan Village is sick, they will ask her to be treated nearby, but they usually come to the door and will not trouble her to go to the doctor.

Huaizi saw that her mother was not in good spirits, as if she was not only physically uncomfortable, so she stepped forward and took her hand and asked softly, "Mother misses Yangzi." He Shi's eyes were red when he asked a question, and he wanted to admit it, where could he bear it, his eyes were full of tears when he was neutral, and his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

Chrysanthemum was surprised and ashamed, she didn't even see anything unusual about her mother-in-law, and only thought that her lack of spirit was because she was weak from the cold!

"Mother, I guess Yang Zi should almost have a letter. The last letter said that he was going to take the township test in Gyeonggi, and the results should come out, even if the road is far away, the letter should be coming. Chrysanthemum persuaded.

He Shi sniffed and whispered: "Isn't it that he didn't pass the exam, he felt uncomfortable and felt ashamed, so he didn't send a letter home, right?" Although Huaizi felt funny when he heard this, it was not easy to say that his mother was thinking, so he had to analyze it for her: "Yang Zi is such an adult, he has read books for so many years, and Master Zhou is teaching by his side, even if he doesn't pass the exam, he won't write a letter to his family." Isn't that a long way to go? Chrysanthemum also tried to persuade her, and called chestnuts and shallots in, and the little baby chattered and asked some ridiculous questions, which made He laugh.

Chrysanthemum took the opportunity to persuade her to put on thick clothes. Put on a hat, let Huaizi carry her, hold the shallots and lead the chestnuts, and go to Yunying's house together.

Cloud Shadow wears a homely skirt. With a plump complexion, like an ordinary village daughter-in-law, she took a teenage girl and Zhao Qing to dry medicinal materials in the yard, and supported several bamboo plaques; Zhang Jiming's mother-in-law, Sister-in-law Zhang, was busy picking vegetables at the kitchen door.

When Zhao Qing saw the chrysanthemums, he raised his face and exclaimed happily: "Sister Chrysanthemums!" Then he smiled, looked at He Shi and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Aunt Zhang?" "She's under the teachings of Cloud Shadow. I was a lot sensible, and when I saw Chrysanthemum, I didn't pounce on her legs as usual, but Chestnut and Shallot were very happy to see her, and they kept calling her "Aunt Qing".

Chrysanthemum said that He had some uncomfortable symptoms.

Yun Ying smiled: "I'm afraid I'm suffering from the cold." I'll take a look. Bringing a few people into the room, Yun Ying sat down behind the tables, motioned to He Shi on the other side to put his hand on the small sandbag on the table, checked her pulse, and looked at the tongue coating again. Asked some questions.

She smiled and asked, "What's wrong with my aunt?" He reluctantly smiled and said: "What's wrong, now that you eat and dress well, don't you complain about it to be struck by lightning?" Cloud Shadow and Chrysanthemum both laughed.

Huaizi hesitated. He glanced at Chrysanthemum and said to Yun Ying: "My mother's illness is still secondary, she mainly thinks about Yang Zi." Chrysanthemum nodded.

Cloud Shadow nodded, "That's right." The aunt's diet is stagnant, her qi is stagnant, she is congested, and her chest is full of tightness, resulting in mental exhaustion, fatigue of her limbs, and yellowish complexion...... "Chrysanthemum has a bitter face and interrupts her words: "Great Divine Doctor, we don't understand what you said." You're not happy to play the piano to the cow like this, aren't you? You just say it doesn't matter if you want it, just take some medicine. I thought it was cold. Yun Ying shook his head helplessly and said, "It doesn't matter. Originally, it was just a little cold, and my aunt missed it too much. ......As a result, she almost pulled out a big set again, but she quickly stopped when she remembered Chrysanthemum's words, and asked stupidly, "Chestnut or shallot, which one will study medicine with me?" He pulled out a piece of paper from the side and wrote the recipe. Tell Zhao Qing to grab the medicine, and Huaizi will pay with him.

Chrysanthemum smiled: "That's not up to them, besides, I don't know if they have that qualification." If you're stupid, won't it ruin your heritage? Yun Ying smiled, turned to He Shi and said, "Don't worry, auntie, it's okay." Take a few pairs of medicines and raise them for two days. Eat lighter these two days. Auntie doesn't want to think about Yang Zi, he may not know how much fun he has! How prosperous is the capital...... "Chrysanthemum's face is black, is this persuasion?

She also didn't understand the thoughts of her parents in the countryside, so He would only be more sad - her son went to that prosperous place and forgot all about his mother.

She gave Yun Ying a hard look, cut off her words in time, and said, "I brought you some chili peppers, and potato vermicelli, which were only made yesterday." Cloud Shadow smiled and said, "Thank you so much." This person is weird, the rarer it is, the better it feels. I didn't think the chili peppers were so delicious in the past, but now I can't buy them with money, so I think the taste is very different. He Shi smiled when he heard this, looked at her with some distress and said, "That's because you are pregnant, and there is no taste in your mouth." You eat it first, and then ask the black skin to bring you some the next day, so that you can eat it until the New Year. What else would you like to eat? There are a lot of messy things in my aunt's house now. Chrysanthemum, can the fungus be given to Dr. Yun? She felt that Yunying didn't have a father and mother to take care of her, which was particularly pitiful.

Chrysanthemum nodded and said, "I gave five catties." Yun Ying hurriedly said: "Let's send the chili pepper in a few days, there are so many, I have to eat it for several days." There are enough fungus, but it's dry, and you can make a big bowl with a small handful. After laughing for a while, Huaizi took the medicine and handed it to Chrysanthemum, and he still carried He home.

After returning home, Chrysanthemum was busy decocting the medicine, instructed Aunt Liu to boil porridge, and specially called her mother Yang to come over to talk to He.
