Chapter 105: Covetousness

Ye Jinyan didn't want Ye Shouli and Hu Shi to come in, but they always had to face it, and the two of them must have been very jealous when they heard that she had made a fortune by relying on preserved eggs, just like the previous Dendrobium.

Ye Jinyan opened the door, stood in front of the No. 1 room in Tianzi, and said to Ye Shouli and Hu Shi: "I'm here, you don't have to look for it anymore." ”

Ye Shouli turned his head to look at Ye Jinyan, but he didn't see the package that Ye Jinyan was carrying on his body, he and Hu Shi glanced at each other and walked over slowly.

"Yan girl, I haven't seen you for a long time." I don't know what drove Ye Shouli to show a bright smile.

Ye Jinyan lowered her eyebrows and didn't say anything, turned around and walked back to the room, and sat on the stool.

Ye Shouli and Hu walked over one after the other.

"We all heard it outside just now, you seem to be selling some kind of preserved eggs, what is that, can you let us see?" Ye Shouli smiled and narrowed his eyes.

The gap between his attitude before and after is too big, and Ye Jinyan actually thinks it's quite interesting.

"Alas, Yan girl, don't hide it, we are a family, just tell us about this good thing." Hu Shi stood next to Ye Jinyan and sneered.

Ye Jinyan pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows: "Didn't we split up at the beginning?" Then after the separation, all my affairs should have nothing to do with you. ”

"......" Ye Shouli's face became very ugly for a while.

Hu Shi tugged at Ye Shouli's sleeve and asked in his ear, "What should I do?" ”

Ye Shouli glared at Hu Shi, took his hand back, and sat opposite Ye Jinyan.

Hu Shi was embarrassed to sit, but still stood.

"Alas, I was really ignorant of current affairs at the beginning, and now we regret it tightly, you come back, we will vacate a house for you."

As long as Ye Jinyan gives him the secret recipe for preserved eggs, let alone a house, they can afford even ten houses, I heard that Ye Jinyan sells preserved eggs for five taels of silver, and five taels of silver can buy a good house in their village.

"You regret it?" Ye Jinyan raised her eyebrows and looked at them, although her expression was a little moved, but her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

Ye Jinyan has long seen through people's hearts, and even more so Ye Shouli and Ye Shouren, this is not a secret recipe for preserved eggs in her hand, it is estimated that Ye Shouli will not even say hello.

Ye Jinyan put his hands on the table, "I know you just want the secret recipe for preserved eggs, but I'm sorry, I can't give it to you, it's my own." She politely refused.

Ye Shouli didn't continue to beat around the bush with Ye Jinyan, and scolded bluntly: "You think you are very powerful? You've just made a fortune with the secret recipe of preserved eggs, and you're nothing without the secret recipe! ”

Ye Shouli was like a fried rooster, crowing so loudly that Ye Jinyan's ears were calloused.

"So?" Ye Jinyan asked rhetorically.

"Your secret recipe has been passed down from my ancestors, and I should be the one who wants to inherit it!" Ye Shouli said to himself.

Ye Jinyan laughed when he heard this.

This has to be naΓ―ve to a certain level to say this sentence without blushing and heartbeat. Whether this preserved egg's recipe is an ancestral Ye Shouli knows better than her, and now he wants to be a bandit.

Ye Jinyan supported his head with one hand, his eyes were full of disdain, "Whether this recipe is handed down by your ancestors or not, it has nothing to do with you." ”

She stretched out her hand and said to the door, "I've said what I want to say, you can go." ”

Ye Shouli glared at Ye Jinyan hatefully, and when he left, he glanced at the room with nostalgia, which was much better than the wooden bed they lived in a few days ago.

"Master, are you sure you haven't heard of the heirloom recipe for preserved eggs?" Hu asked with a bitter face.

Thinking about Ye Jinyan's scenery, she naturally felt indescribable jealousy in her heart, at the beginning, this little girl had to look at her face when she ate a nest.

Ye Shouli said hatefully: "If I knew, I would definitely not be as depressed as I am now." ”

When he thought that an egg was worth five taels of silver, he was so angry that he had sold so many dendrobiums, but the result was that the preserved eggs were not worth much.

"Could it be that my mother-in-law didn't tell you?" Hu Shi spoke in a low voice.

What she said on the surface was light, but those eyes were staring at Ye Shouli tightly.

"That little girl has been taken care of by her mother-in-law before, maybe her mother-in-law has already given her the secret recipe for this preserved egg before."

"Impossible." Ye Shouli immediately denied it, "My mother loves me the most, she was on my side when she stole the copper plate before, and she gave it to her first, not that little girl." ”

Hu Shi was silent, and then suddenly asked, "What if this is all a performance performed by your mother-in-law for you?" ”

Hu Shi glanced at the small fish swimming in the bucket and asked, "If the mother-in-law really has the secret recipe for preserved eggs, then do we still need these fish?" ”

Ye Shouli raised his eyes when he heard this, looking at the Hu family, in fact, he was also thinking about whether there would be such a possibility.

Preserved eggs are also a big temptation for him, and he has to get his hands on them no matter what.

The shopkeeper stood at the door and smiled at them, "Didn't you say you would stay for one night?" Why are you leaving? I'm tired too, so sit down and drink water. ”

As he spoke, he was very hospitable and brought a jug of water for them to drink.

Ye Shouli looked at the shopkeeper who regarded money as his life, and said in surprise: "Today's sun is coming out in the west, it is difficult for you to be so generous." ”

But I heard the shopkeeper's next sentence is, "A pot of water, ten copper plates, do you hand it over directly to my hand, or to the counter?" ”

Ye Shouli didn't speak, lowered his head and took out the ten pieces of silver from his arms and handed them to him.

Ten copper plates were not a lot, but in the eyes of Ye Shouli now, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and now there is no money for riding an ox cart.

However, if useful information is found, these ten copper plates are also worth it.

Hu Shi didn't know for the time being, she drank several sips of water, pushed Ye Shouli and said, "Let's go now, so as not to miss the road to getting rich." ”

She had sold all her clothes and beautiful jewelry, and now she had nothing, just like the peasant women in the village.

Ye Shouli took off Hu's hand on his arm, looked at the shopkeeper, and said quietly: "Didn't you say before that Ye Jinyan sold an egg for five taels of silver?" So does she still have her body now? ”

The shopkeeper said helplessly: "Aren't you her relatives?" It's better for you to ask about these things, I'm an outsider, so I won't mix it. ”

After he finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked slowly, like a person who doesn't ask about the world, but in fact, his heart is very fine.

Although they have separated, they are also relatives, and since it is a secret recipe handed down by their ancestors, Ye Jinyan's uncle and aunt should also know that he may be able to buy the secret recipe for preserved eggs from the two of them.

He wanted a secret recipe that could be used forever, not a preserved egg that would not be sold out.

The shopkeeper walked slowly in front, and after walking two or three steps, he was suddenly stopped by the person behind him, "Wait a minute." ”

Ye Shouli walked quickly to the shopkeeper, looked him up and down, and suddenly asked, "Are you also interested in preserved eggs?" ”

He kept them again and again, and deliberately let them live for free, which was too suspicious.

The shopkeeper either coveted that preserved egg, or he was interested in Ye Jinyan.

The combination of these two is not so much that the shopkeeper is interesting to Ye Jinyan, but that he should be more interested in preserved eggs.

At that time, when he introduced the preserved eggs, his eyes were bright.

The shopkeeper turned his head to look at Ye Shouli, and said frankly: "You guessed right, I am indeed very interesting to preserved eggs, it is better to do this, the two of us do a business, since you are Ye Jinyan's family, there must be an ancestral secret recipe for preserved eggs in your hand, you sell the secret recipe to me, I will give this amount." As he spoke, he held out a hand.

Ye Shouli looked at the hand and coughed, "Just tell me the number." ”

The shopkeeper squinted, "As long as you sell me the secret recipe, I will give fifty taels of silver." ”

Fifty taels of silver can buy a better house on cherishing, although it is close to the suburbs, but it is true that few people can afford it.

Ye Shouli looked at the numbers he drew out, and his saliva was about to flow, "Fifty taels? Are you telling the truth? ”

The shopkeeper nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, "As long as you sell me the secret recipe." ”

"No problem." Ye Shouli didn't think about it, and quickly agreed.

Hu Shi, who was standing next to her, hesitantly tugged at his clothes.

Although they do have some relationship with Ye Jinyan, they don't know if they can get their hands on this secret recipe, is it really good to agree so quickly?

For Ye Shouli, what Hu Shi thinks in his heart is not important, he lacks a sum of money to help him pay off his debts now, he owes a lot of money to the gambling house, and his family also needs money to live.

So he'll say yes anyway.
