Chapter 19 Reselling
Running back to the house, Xiaoyan's group of rough maids were giggling and washing their faces and feet, talking to each other about the gossip and rumors they heard everywhere during the day, and calculating whether the monthly money should be distributed tomorrow, secretly complaining that since the master's partial house Li took charge of the house, the monthly money has never been paid on a daily basis.
A group of people were talking lively, and suddenly saw Wen Wen running into the house in a panic, Qiao'er led the way and smiled: "There is a ghost outside chasing you or what?" Running so fast, be careful to plant your teeth, and catch up with Ming'er to speak with an open mouth! ”
Everyone laughed, and they were a little familiar with them, knowing that these people liked to tease others for nothing, and they didn't have any malicious intentions, so they also smiled and answered: "Yes, yes, there is a ghost outside chasing me!" The eyes of the lantern, the mouth of the blood basin, and the big white tongue, that's-"
As she spoke, she grimaced, so frightened that Qiao'er screamed repeatedly, and hurried to hit her with a pillow, shouting: "Tell you to scare me!" ”
"Okay, let's be quiet, shouting so loudly, the lady who will call the night guard will hear it and scold again." Xiao Yan is relatively old, and while making the bed, she muttered and complained: "What do you say no, it's such a dark day, it's all about ghosts...... Don't let people sleep peacefully? ”
Everyone laughed for a while, each cleaned up, ready to go to bed, and Wen Rou suddenly saw Qiao'er wiping her face with a box of facial fat, leaned over to take a look, and saw that it was also white and solidified oil, but there was no fragrance, so she asked her: "How much is a box of this facial fat?" ”
Qiao'er didn't care about answering, she only took her fingers and dipped the grease on her face carefully, and when the corners of her eyes and forehead were wiped one by one, she felt that she was clean, and then said: "Twenty dollars a box!" said that there is something angelica added to it, which can grow the skin and moisturize the color, just a little bit, I have to erase two boxes a month, and all the monthly money is spent on this. ”
"Who told you to love beauty, you wipe your face like a snow-white ...... all day long" Cuirong next to her didn't finish speaking, Qiao'er threw away her face fat to tear her mouth, and scolded with a smile: "Didn't you wipe it?" You've wiped more than I do! Come, let my sister see, tsk, a little face is whiter than a belly......"
Wen Rou had already seen the fierceness of the ancients from the mouth of the sister-in-law, and knew that although they were feudal, sometimes when they talked about meat, they had no taboos, so they ignored their laughter and scolding, and only took out the box of flour fat that Zhao An gave her, and asked Qiao'er: "Guess how much my box is worth?" ”
Qiao'er said "Huh", took it and took a closer look, sniffed the smell again, and said enviously: "Your box is mixed with orchid juice, called Lan Ze, I see that there are sales, and it costs sixty or seventy yuan!" As he spoke, he looked at his gentle eyes carefully and said, "Have you made a fortune?" Buy something so expensive. ”
"How can you get rich, only regret when you buy it." Gently raised her eyebrows, thinking that it was really expensive enough, if it was converted into money, it would be enough to buy a lot of food for Wen Gang for several days, and she couldn't help but have an idea: "Do you want to, I'll resell it to you cheaper, even if it's fifty yuan." "Anyway, she definitely doesn't plan to use this kind of thing like a love token, and it's a waste to put it on hold.
"Fifty wen?" Qiao'er was a little excited, but this thing was not cheap after all, so she was still a little hesitant.
"Sell me, I want it!" Cui Rong has always liked to be greedy and cheap, and seeing that this box of Lan Ze has no traces of use, she thought in her heart that the monthly money should be sent anyway, so it is better to buy a box and try it. Women, the most precious thing is the face, originally they are rough maids are not good-looking, usually do heavy work, if you don't take care of it, I'm afraid you won't be able to marry a good family.
"No! If you ask me first, I want to buy it! Qiao'er has always been high-hearted, and her appearance is also smart and delicate, and she is most willing to spend money to take care of herself, so she thinks that one day she can be picked by the old lady to go to the room.
"I'll say I want it first!" Cui Rong refused.
"I'll add five more!" How could Qiao'er let people crush her.
Cui Rong was greedy for a small bargain, and when she saw her adding money, she was not happy, she turned over and lay down, and said in her mouth: "What a good thing, it's not that there is nowhere to buy, I am not rare!" ”
Qiao'er ignored her, counted the money and handed it to Wen Rou, sniffed the box of Lan Ze again, and then carefully put it on the pillow, and lay down contentedly, thinking that she would go to bed quickly, and she could try it out when she got up early tomorrow morning.
Gentle and satisfied with the money, rushed to wash up, lay down to sleep, and was still worried about whether the bean halva could be sold, and he couldn't sleep for a while.
Bean halva candy pays attention to eating crispy and loose, hands do not disperse, melt in the mouth, although it will not be bad if it is put on for a few days, but it will be damp after a long time, not only does it look wet and wilted, but the taste will be much worse, she can't help but worry, after all, there is only this way to make money, if it is broken, the Ruhua family can only go out to beg for food.
She was thinking about her thoughts, and she didn't know when she had fallen asleep, and she had a sweet sleep. In ancient times, there was no alarm clock was a headache, it was easy to go to bed late, fortunately she came here for a while, got up early and went to bed early every day, and a certain biological clock has been formed, even if she didn't wake up for a while, the noise of those maids getting up early to wash up can definitely wake her up.
Early the next morning, Gentle got up and hurried to the kitchen, seeing that Sister-in-law Liu was already waiting there, she hurriedly reported to her the names of a few dishes that she had thought of before going to bed last night, and made it clear what raw materials to use.
"Only three pieces were sold." Xiaohuan made a bitter face, put the twelve coins into the gentle palm and said: "They want to eat, but the monthly money has not been sent yet, and there is no money to buy it, so they have to buy a piece of each to taste the taste, saying that they will buy more when the monthly money is issued." ”
Damn, the devil knows what day the money will be sent that month! The sugar will be damp after a long time! Gently looked down at the copper coin in her hand, she was very depressed, and she hadn't even earned the capital back!
"Hee-hee." Seeing that she was upset, Xiaohuan suddenly smiled again, stuck out his tongue at her and said, "Sister, I'm teasing you, don't be angry!" ”
"Huh?" Gentle and puzzled looked up.
I only heard Xiaohuan continue: "Actually, although only three pieces of soybean halva were sold yesterday, but after they tasted it, they felt that the taste was much better than the usual candy, and when they were discussing, the third girl heard it, thinking that the eldest lady usually loves sweets, and moved her filial piety, so she gave me a lot of money and asked me to buy more for her, and I wanted to send it to the eldest lady's house." ”
"A penny?" Gentle eyes lit up, "It's enough to buy more than a dozen catties!" ”
"That's what I said, but no matter how much the third girl and the eldest lady can eat, they can't eat more than a dozen catties of bean halva, not to mention that the third girl usually asks people to buy things, and never carefully calculates the price, even if there are many, they are all left for us to use as foot money. I thought that if I only had to make some sugar in the afternoon, it would be enough. ”
"Good!" The more Wen Wen thought about it, the happier she became, this hanging money was enough for the flower family to use it for half a month, she also had time to think about raising money again, and the heartstrings that had been tense suddenly loosened, and she stuffed the twelve scattered copper coins in her hand into Xiaohuan's hand, and said with a smile: "This money, you take it to buy snacks to eat, and I will come to you again after I am busy in the afternoon." ”
