Chapter 137: Busy work in vain
After drinking the medicine, Qin Chu asked Ah Cheng to lie down again and sleep for a while.
She got up and went to Yang's mother to discuss with her: "Mother, we don't have anything valuable in our hands, whether you and Ah Cheng see a doctor in the future or we want to continue to travel, we need money, I want to go outside for a while, is there any way to make money."
"It's so cold outside, and you're a double person now, alas, it's useless to be a mother......"
Mother Yang sighed, the matter has come to this, and she can only persuade Qin Chu to wear more before going out, and pay attention to safety.
Qin Chu nodded, got up and walked outside.
It was already the end of October, and as soon as Qin Chu pushed the door open, a wave of cold air blew in his face. Got down her neck into her clothes, causing her to shiver.
At this point, most people are already able to minimize their activities without going out. In particular, there are fewer people in the town. It was the middle of the night when he came yesterday, and Qin Chu didn't have a clear view of the entire town.
I walked around the street today and found that there were only three or four rows of streets before and after it, and the only main street was the one where the pharmacy was located. There are only a dozen or so stores.
Qin Chu didn't realize until this time that he didn't even have a specialty except for the wedding host and being a matchmaker.
I inquired about a few companies, and my business was barely making ends meet, and where was she willing to spend money to hire a woman who didn't seem to know anything.
"Little lady, let's go, look at what you can't pick on your shoulders and can't lift, we can't sell a bag of rice this day, where do you still use Mr. Bookkeeper."
"Oh......" Qin Chu nodded in disappointment, this was already the last one she asked on the entire street, and most of the statements were the same.
When she turned around and wanted to leave, she was confronted by a woman who came in from the door, although she looked average, but her skin was fair, her body was rich, and she looked like she was living in a wealthy family.
It was very rare to dress up like this in the town, and Qin Chu couldn't help but look at people twice.
"This woman is twenty years old, two years ago, Chongxi married into the door of her husband's house, and her husband died a year later, ......" The system began to introduce information related to women.
“…… His sister is twenty-eight years old, and her marriage match index with her uncle is 70......"
Just when Qin Chu thought that the system wanted her to introduce a partner to this woman, she didn't want it to be such a result.
"Isn't that a sister marrying a brother?" Qin Chuqi said.
"You don't care if he is a sister or a mother, the ready-made marriage is in front of you, so don't hurry up and work hard." Since she became pregnant, people have begun to become lazy, and so far the marriage of a couple has not been completed.
The system opened with some impatience.
“……”
Qin Chu, who was disgusted by the system, had no choice but to silently glance at the woman again, only to see that the woman had already walked to the counter, took out a handful of copper plates and put them on the counter and handed them to the shopkeeper, and said casually:
"My mother-in-law has been wanting to eat this sticky Jiang rice recently, but I don't know how to make this thing delicious."
The north is different from the south, and there are many ways to eat it, the most common is to put it in rice cakes or zongzi. In the past few days, her mother-in-law has been sick, and she is yelling to eat glutinous rice balls, but she has never even eaten them, so what can she do.
"It's not a year, it's really rare to buy this thing, or you go to the restaurant in front of you and ask, the daughter-in-law he married is a southerner, and she should be able to do it." The shopkeeper weighed the rice and handed it to the woman, and gave him a warm point.
Qin Chu listened to the words of the two, weighed it in his heart, and quietly followed the woman out of the door of the store before stepping forward and saying, "The lady wants to make glutinous rice balls?" ”
Seeing her doubts, she hurriedly explained: "I just heard what the lady said in the store, and it just so happens that I can make this glutinous rice ball, so I ......"
"Really?" Seeing Qin Chu nodding, the woman said to her happily: "This is really good, can you trouble the girl to go to my house with me......" As soon as the words came out, she felt a little abrupt, and hurriedly explained: "I haven't gotten this thing, and I'm afraid that it won't suit my mother-in-law's appetite, so I won't let you help my lady in vain."
It could be seen that the woman cared about her mother-in-law very much, and Qin Chu did not shirk, and walked towards the front street with the others.
The woman's home was in the southwest of the town, with a spacious courtyard of five large tiled houses. It's definitely a mansion in town.
Qin Chu deliberately looked at it when he entered, and an old servant was guarding the door, and there was no one else in the courtyard to see.
The woman led the familiar people to the easternmost room of the ear, where was the kitchen of the house.
"This is the kitchen, do you see what else you need? If not, how about we start now? Although the woman was asking for her opinion, she had already rolled up her sleeves and was ready to move.
Qin Chu glanced around, and found that there were a few ingredients placed in the corner near the wall that he needed, but he didn't need to prepare anything else, so he began to teach women how to make glutinous rice balls.
The two of them pointed out and did it, and they cooperated tacitly. By the time the glutinous rice was soaked in water, the two of them had already talked very speculatively.
"I can't imagine that Mrs. Yang will give people a marriage." The woman asked with a surprised expression.
In order to make what he said for a while more convincing, Qin Chu had no choice but to make a test and foreshadowing first.
"I have an uncle, and my mother-in-law has been worrying about his family affairs recently, so I can't eat or sleep, can you help me give me some pointers and see where his marriage is?" The woman hesitated to ask what was in her heart.
In the middle of his arms, Qin Chu was happy, and said with a deep groan: "Your uncle is twenty and one this year, and when he was born in Chen, he is destined to have a peach blossom calamity, if he finds the other half, this calamity can be solved, if not, the future will be endless......
The more the woman listened to her, her eyes widened, and she said with a look of surprise: "Yang Niangzi, you are really capable, I haven't introduced you yet, you know everything." ”
The woman said, her attitude also changed, she was a little worn out, thinking that after she told her the method, she would send people away with whatever she wanted, who knew that this lady had such a 'miraculous power'.
Thinking that the uncle who had always been good-tempered was stubborn with his mother-in-law because of family affairs, the woman took Qin Chu to the main room to show her mother-in-law.
After the woman's retelling, at first the woman's mother-in-law was suspicious of Qin Chu, until she basically retold the family's information, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law no longer dared to underestimate people, and asked her one after another how to solve it.
After all, it is not easy to find an opportunity to make money, Qin Chu was thinking about how to formulate a charging standard, and after a little groaning, the mother-in-law understood, took out more than 20 copper plates, and took Qin Chu's hand and put it in her palm: "I hope you can help us, lady."
On weekdays, there are people who come to the door to tell fortunes, but there are only three or five copper plates, and now she is so accurate, the old woman thinks that she will give her more than 20 copper plates, which is worth it!
She felt that she was giving high, but she didn't know that Qin Chu was stunned by the two dozen copper plates lying in the palm of her hand.
When did she ever do such a cheap business?!
"Those charlatans who walk the streets and alleys on weekdays, in order to deceive a few people, say that the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth. Occasionally, the blind cat pretends to be a dead mouse, and there is something that is accurate, but it always secretly wants more money."
The old woman sat at the table and pointed to Qin Chuyi, who had no meaning on her face: "As everyone knows, where can these escape my wife's eyes, to put it well, accurately, where can he send him this money, little lady, do you say yes or not?" ”
Well, having said all that, it's clear that this is for yourself.
Qin Chu shook the copper plate in her hand, it was better than nothing, she was new to her, and it was normal for others to have doubts about her ability. She endured.
Qin Chu cleaned up his emotions, and when he raised his head again, he tried to pull the corners of his mouth and said, "Yes, old lady, you are right."
"The little lady hasn't said how to crack the peach blossom tribulation on Uncle Ye's body?" The woman anxiously urged: "Can you calculate my uncle and his ...... outside"
"Ahem, ahem!" The old woman glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and interrupted her, "Go and see what your rice bubbles look like, how long is it, can I still eat this bite for dinner?" ”
"Why do you need two hours to ......" the woman muttered reluctantly, seeing that her mother-in-law's face became more and more unsightly, she was immediately silent, and obediently pushed the door out.
"Can the little lady figure out where my son is?" When the eldest daughter-in-law was far away, she asked the eldest daughter-in-law what she had just said again.
Qin Chu shook his head and said frankly: "Although I don't know very well, I have already calculated the other half of your youngest son."
"Oh?" The woman's eyes lit up and urged, "Is there a specific person?" ”
Seeing Qin Chu nodding, the woman's body leaned forward unconsciously, such a miraculous thing, she had lived for half her life, and it was the first time she had seen it. Unconsciously looked at the person again.
I saw that although she was dressed plainly, or she was a little down-and-out, her appearance and temperament couldn't deceive people. She believes that she is definitely not a simple person.
"This person is none other than your eldest daughter-in-law's own sister......"
"What is your relationship with their family?"
Before Qin Chu could finish speaking, the woman had already changed color. Pointing at Qin Chu's fingers, he was a little angry: "I said, how do you know so much about our family's affairs?" The feelings are all the Zhao family who eats inside and out, elbows and crutches his mother's family, colludes with you, come over and fool my wife?! ”
"What collusion? Your eldest daughter-in-law and I also met just now, you can't spew blood! Qin Chu was also a little angry when she was robbed of the white. originally took little money, but now she is still pouring dirty water on her.
"I'm spewing blood?" When the matter came to the end, she even denied it, the woman was not angry, grabbed the copper plate in Qin Chu's hand, pointed to the door and said: "Get out, if you don't leave, be careful if you ask someone to bomb you out!" ”
