"I didn't expect you to be a good person." Walking out for a while, Jiang Yunxian suddenly whispered.

"Thanks for the compliment." Xia Meizhen smiled and held the money tightly, and the self-confidence that had been dispersed in the past seemed to have returned.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, Xia Meizhen still knew this, if the four big bamboo shoots were sold to rich households, they would definitely be more than this price.

Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something and asked, "Mother, which street in this Xuanzhou Mansion is where rich people live?" If our bamboo shoots can be bought at other people's homes, they can really make money. ”

Jiang Yunxian thought for a while and said: "If you want to talk about rich people, you naturally have to talk about Kangning Fang, but Li Chengshan's family is also in Kangning Fang, so it's better for us not to go, lest they see it and want to trouble us." ”

The case of Xia Zhiyuan's poisoning of Li Chengshan's son was known all over the city last year, Li Chengshan has always been eager to smoke Xia Meizhen's tendons and drink her blood to avenge his son.

Xia Meizhen was silent, swallowed the words of selling the bamboo shoots to the restaurant, and said, "Then let's push the cart and sell it, where we go, until the sale is finished." ”

While talking, the two had already arrived at Buzhuang, Jiang Yunxian went in to talk to the boss, Xia Meizhen had nothing to do, so she pushed the wheelbarrow to the side of the road, poured out all the bamboo shoots, and began to sell them as soon as someone came to buy them.

When Jiang Yunxian came out, the small wheelbarrow was already full of people, but most of them stopped because of the price, and few of them really bought.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Yunxian didn't say anything.

At this time, a carriage drove out from the backyard of the Xichun Building next to it, and the carriage had the emblem of Cheng Fu on the buttocks of the horse, and passers-by gave way when they saw this.

"Young Master, are we going home or going to Zhuangzi?" Xiao Si, who was sitting next to the coachman, twisted his body and asked inside the carriage.

Inside, I don't know what to say, the carriage rumbled along the street quickly, and when it came to a fork in the street, the carriage changed lanes, and suddenly the coachman held the reins tightly, and the horse, by inertia, raised its front hooves, neighed, and became agitated.

"What's going on?" The curtain of the carriage door was lifted, revealing the face of a young man, who was Cheng Jinke, the young master of the Cheng Mansion. His grandfather is the old prime minister Cheng Bu, who returned to his hometown.

"Young master, the road ahead is blocked, and our carriage can't pass." Little Staught.

"Blocked, let's go over later." After Cheng Jinke finished speaking, he put down the curtain.

Who knew that after waiting for half a pillar of incense, there were not fewer people blocking together, but there was a tendency to get more and more.

Xiao Si was dumbfounded, and the young master in the carriage couldn't wait, so he urged: "Scanner, isn't the road outside open yet?" You go and see what's going on. ”

"Yes, young master." The scrivener answered, jumped out of the carriage and squeezed into the crowd in front of him, and came back after a while, "Young master, someone is buying bamboo shoots over there, it looks so fresh." As he spoke, he couldn't help muttering, "It's so strange, it's not spring yet, how can there be bamboo shoots......"

Yes, this is too strange, even people like Cheng Jinke, who do not distinguish between grains and grains, know that bamboo shoots are only available in spring, why are there bamboo shoots here.

Thinking that his grandfather's appetite was not very good recently, Cheng Jinke said: "Since it is bamboo shoots, you can also go and buy some, and when you go back, you will tell the cook to make soup and send it to the old lady." ”

The scrivener nodded and hurried over, but in the end it was a step too late, someone packed all the last bamboo shoots, and he didn't even touch a bamboo shoot shell.

"Hey, why did you let him give it all, I haven't bought it yet." He said with a roar.

"I'm really sorry, today's bamboo shoots are sold out, please be early next time." Xia Meizhen said with a smile, while quickly counting the money and handing it to Jiang Yunxian.

Winter bamboo shoots were also popular in ancient times, and they were sold for two taels of silver for fifty catties, so we don't have to worry about it this winter. She said happily in her heart, while paying attention to the scrivener who had not yet left.

"Hey, I said you're a little girl......" Dai Shuqi didn't know what to say, he also knew that he didn't take advantage of it, although the momentum was there, he had no confidence at all, and he didn't entangle himself when he spoke, so he turned around and left.

The crowd around gradually dispersed, Xia Meizhen pushed the wheelbarrow and said happily: "Mother, you see what I said, this winter bamboo shoot is more beautiful than spring bamboo shoots." ”

A young girl with a confident smile on her delicate face. If you look closely, this girl is really a beautiful embryo, with apricot eyes and red lips, and a fair complexion.

Jiang Yunxian couldn't help but think that in the future, he didn't know who would have such a good fortune to marry her.

Then he smiled and said: "Look at you, it's like you've never seen money, and you're going to lose it." While carefully collecting the money earned, and then taking the wheelbarrow in Xia Meizhen's hand, the two of them walked out of the city while talking.

Because of this success, Xia Meizhen ran to the mountains every day, digging more and more bamboo shoots, and every time they arrived at Jiang Yunxian Shangfu City, they went together, and gradually, they also had their own savings.

Of course, where can such a good thing be hidden from those people in the village, they only went to the city to sell bamboo shoots two or three times, and some people knew about the existence of winter bamboo shoots, and it took three or five days of work, and the bamboo forest was full of people digging bamboo shoots.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard and looking at the three or two villagers carrying hoes to the bamboo forest, Jiang Yunxian had an indescribable taste in her heart, and looked back at the girl sitting under the porch changing her shoes, her face did not fluctuate at all, and she didn't know if she knew about today, or if she really didn't care at all.

"Mother, do you have anything to eat? I am hungry. Xia Meizhen's crisp voice over there interrupted Jiang Yunxian's thoughts.

"There's still a piece of steamed bun in the pot."

Although he earned more than four taels of silver by selling bamboo shoots, Jiang Yunxian saved the rest of the money except for buying a new quilt for himself and Xia Meizhen, and helping Jiang Yunxian weave cloth when he was free.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, because the winter bamboo shoots were difficult to dig, and there were many fewer people digging bamboo shoots, and for this most prosperous year, Xia Meizhen was soaked in the bamboo forest almost every day for many days.

After coming and going, the bamboo forests near Lingyang Village were familiar to her, of course, because it was close to spring, the bamboo shoots were getting easier and easier to dig, and the size of the dug was getting bigger and bigger.

There are pros and cons to this matter, Xia Meizhen's ability to dig bamboo shoots was soon rumored to be evil, and some people rumored that she had been instructed by a master, so no one else could dig up winter bamboo shoots; Some people also say that the mother and daughter who are new to Lingyang Village have inherited Xia Zhiyuan's kindness, and God gave them back, so where can ordinary people get it; Some people also say that this is the secret skill passed on by Xia Zhiyuan to Xia Meizhen, how can the secret skill of other people's families be known to others casually, so only the people in their family know the skills of digging winter bamboo shoots.

With the spread of these rumors, people who didn't interact with their mother and daughter also came to chat with Jiang Yunxian under the pretext of wanting to explore some skills in digging bamboo shoots, but they were all slid by Jiang Yunxian.
