Chapter 32 Entering the county seat to sell loquat ointment
On the second day, Jin Xiaolou knocked on the door of Carpenter Sun's house with a large basin of loquat paste.
It was the Ye family who opened the door, and she was kind and kind, and she hurriedly welcomed Xiaolou and Gao Lang in.
The two were just in time for Sun's house to have breakfast, but they couldn't refuse, so they had to sit down and eat together.
Jin Xiaolou scooped out a spoonful of loquat paste by the way, mixed the water, and brought it to Ye's: "Loquat moistens the lungs and relieves cough, I saw that auntie, you coughed badly yesterday, and it happened that there were some loquat at home and I boiled loquat paste and brought it to you." ”
"You kid really have a heart!" Ye's heart was moved, Carpenter Sun and his wife have been married for decades and have no children, so they are particularly fond of juniors, and under this touch, they are a little closer to Jin Xiaolou.
After she drank two sips of loquat water, her face showed surprise and approval: "This loquat paste is really good, it tastes much purer than the taste that Lao Sun bought from the pharmacy in the town, how did you do it, Xiaolou?" ”
Jin Xiaolou said about the production process of loquat paste, and his heart suddenly moved, since the loquat paste he made was better than the one in the pharmacy in the town, it was better to take it to the town and sell it.
If this loquat paste can be exchanged for some money, it will solve the urgent need.
Jin Xiaolou told this idea to Carpenter Sun and his wife, and the two also agreed.
"You are now alone, with Gao Lang, life is hard, if you can find a money-making job to do, it can be regarded as having income, and life can go on." Ye's eyes rolled, "It just so happens that Lao Sun has been selling wooden boxes recently, so we will put this pot of loquat paste in a wooden box today and pull it to the town to sell it to try it." ”
When Jin Xiaolou heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, Uncle Sun's wooden box was made with hard work, and you sold it yourself to make money, how can you use it to hold my loquat paste." Besides, I specially boiled this large pot of loquat paste to treat my aunt's cough, and even if I want to sell it, I will make it again tomorrow. ”
"Hey, you girl, what's wrong with my cough, it's a big deal to leave me a box, I can eat this box for a long time, and then give me a box after you make it, so that I can always have loquat paste to eat every day." Ye said and laughed, with a look of kindness.
Jin Xiaolou's heart is warm, knowing that the Ye family is a warm-hearted person, the Ye family loves to be close to people, once they are close, they will not see outside, and they are good to others.
Jin Xiaolou was grateful, so he nodded: "Okay, then we will sell it today and try it, but we have to leave a box for my aunt, and half of the money from the sale of loquat paste will be given to you, which is considered the money of the wooden box." ”
Jin Xiaolou can't let kind-hearted people suffer a loss.
"You girl......"
The Ye family still wanted to shirk the money for the wooden box, but Jin Xiaolou had already made up his mind: "Auntie, you just listen to me, otherwise this pot of loquat paste will all be left to you, and I won't sell it." ”
In this way, Ye finally nodded.
After breakfast, the four of them put the loquat paste into the small wooden box made by Carpenter Sun earlier, the wooden box is made of peach wood, one is only the size of a palm, and the body is carved with a circle of small entwined peach blossom patterns, which is originally used to make makeup, and a box is sold for three cents.
Now it is used to hold loquat paste but looks small and exquisite, delicate and chic, Jin Xiaolou calculated, and planned to sell a box of loquat paste for six yuan.
Six cents is a lot of money for the people in Jingkou Village.
Carpenter Sun often sells only one box a month, plus other miscellaneous things, and does carpentry for the villagers, which is only five or six cents in total.
This box of loquat paste was sold so expensive, Carpenter Sun was a little hesitant.
Ye Shi is very confident: "You saved up more than half a year's money last time, and didn't it cost me seven cents to buy loquat paste from Naqing Yutang?" Xiaolou is much better than Qingyutang, and it only sells six Wen! ”
The price was finalized, and the four of them filled a pot of loquat paste in full, a full twelve boxes.
Lao Sun carried the burden and took it to the town to sell.
Lao Sun originally wanted Xiaolou to go with him, but Jin Xiaolou still had to pollinate the rice in the field today, so after thinking about it, he asked Gao Lang to go with him.
Although Gao Lang is stupid, he can also help, Jin Xiaolou has personally experienced that he is not bright, and he is quick to do work.
took the yellow steamed buns made by the Ye family as dry food, and two men, one old and one young, went out of the house.
