After taking stock of the accounts and silver tickets, Cui'er also has an overall understanding of what she has been doing these days.

For the sake of Qingshan's gold sore medicine, Cui'er bought a total of two carts of medicinal raw materials. It seems that each herb is not too expensive, but Cui'er has selected the best medicinal materials for the quality of the gold sore medicine, and the two carts of medicinal materials add up, and the silver has also spent a lot, a full four hundred taels.

Don't look at these four hundred taels It looks like a lot, but it is spread evenly on each bottle of gold sore medicine, which is the cost of two taels of silver. The Jin family's gold sore medicine, an ordinary small bottle costs ten taels of silver, but Cui'er's large bottle is only two taels of silver, which is already extremely cost-effective.

In addition to these gold sore medicines, Cui'er also asked Uncle Zhong to buy a lot of pills for daily ailments, which cost three hundred taels of silver, which was a lot of money. However, because the pills for daily pain are different in price, the most expensive is one or two silver for a bottle, and these three hundred taels are gone, but I bought two large boxes of medicine.

In addition to medicines, Cui'er also spent a lot of food on the jerky made by Lian Qingshan, and the jerky alone was enough to buy more than 1,000 catties of meat and make about 1,000 catties of jerky. Because the beef in it is not easy to find, the price is high, and this jerky does not count the cost of condiments just looking at the meat, and it also costs a hundred taels of silver.

Cui'er's jerky is carefully grilled, and it is also very careful when it is stored, and it is carefully subdivided and packed in a cloth bag before being put into the sack. In addition to the food brought to Lian Qingshan, there are truckloads of grains such as camellia noodles, scones, rice, and beans. The jerky alone is a small half cart.

Cui'er made a rough calculation, and the food she brought to Lian Qingshan was according to the normal amount of food for ten big men. Even without the rations given by the army, it was enough to eat and drink for three months. And even a general like Qingshan, the army will still give a lot of rations, and Cui'er brought him these just because he was afraid of encountering some unexpected situation.

Medicine-related, Cui'er spent 700 taels of silver, and gave a reward of 100 taels of silver to the shopkeeper Liu's grandson. Food-related, Cui'er spent three hundred taels of silver. Among them, 100 taels of meat and 200 taels of staple food.

There are also soft leather armor and leather boots customized for Lian Qingshan, which are two hundred taels, and there are other bits and pieces. and the like of silver that he brought with him, another five hundred taels.

The preparation for Lian Qingshan's expedition, the bits and pieces added up, it cost 1,800 taels, if it weren't for Cui'er's more than 9,000 taels of cash in her hand, if she wanted to rely on Lian Qingshan's meager fortune alone, she would definitely not be able to buy so many good things.

Cui'er looked at the silver ticket in the small box in front of her, and looked at the remaining 7,300 taels of silver in her own account, and her heart was much more settled. Even if there is no way to increase the number of your own property. If you want to back up Lian Qingshan, you can still consume it twice more.

However, Cui'er also knew in her heart that it would be consumed like this. It is not a long-term solution, because the source of his current silver is only 2421 years of Lian Qingshan, and the output of 100 taels a year of Zhuangzi.

This year's income of three hundred and forty taels may be enough for ordinary people to live a rich life, but for Cui'er. It's definitely a drop in the bucket. If nothing else, let's just say that Lian Qingshan is fighting in the northwest. It's impossible for Cui'er not to worry, if she is worried, she won't not send things over, and the money will be spent this time and again.

If you want to take care of Lian Qingshan, if you want to take care of your own family, earning money is the key!

For Cui'er, the Ye family's desire to compete for the emperor is a breakthrough point, and it is also an opportunity for her to open a pharmacy when she responds to Liu's shopkeeper, and even opening some small shops with Huiya to do some small business is also a place where you can make money. Cui'er understood in her heart that making money was not an overnight thing, and it was also a good choice to make money over time.

There are so many directions that she can work towards, and Cui'er began to calculate in her heart, how much more than 7,000 taels of silver she had in her hand to throw out, how much to keep in her hand, and how much money to spend where.

When Cui'er's brain was spinning fast, she suddenly felt that her legs were warm, and when she turned her head to look, it turned out that she had woken up from a soft nap and was holding her legs and being coquettish.

"Squish, woke up?" Cui'er put down the abacus in her hand and picked up Soft from the ground. Seeing that the shoes on her feet and the clothes on her body were neatly packed, and the mother and Yahuan, who were in charge of watching the softness, were also guarding not far away, knowing that they were not lazy, he waved his hand and let them go down.

"Well, wake up." When he was talking softly, he rubbed his eyes again and yawned delicately, "Mother, when will Daddy come back?" ”

Cui'er listened to Soft's words, and her heart was sour, because in the past two days, Softsoft and Xiaobao have asked this no less than ten times.

The two children, Soft and Xiaobao, were still young, and they didn't know that Lian Qingshan was going out to fight, and they thought they were just going out and coming back in two days. Because even Qingshan is very close to the children on weekdays, and the children like him, but now when he goes out, he is very uncomfortable with the soft and small bags, and he looks out at every turn, waiting for his father to come back.

"Good, soft and obedient, Daddy is going far away, didn't my mother say it, Daddy went to find Brother Xiaohu's own father, and I want to help him......" Cui'er said carefully, thinking that even Qingshan's return date was undecided, her heart throbbed, "Daddy, when you eat Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes, you should be back." ”

"Mooncakes?" Her soft eyes were shining, her thick eyelashes were flickering, she looked at Cui'er with blank eyes, and said happily, "As long as you eat moon cakes, Daddy can come back?" Then mother, let's go eat moon cakes! ”

"Silly boy, it's only when you eat mooncakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's useless to eat now!" Cui'er's heart was sour when she was softly said. Thinking that a few days ago, I was busy and neglected the children for Lian Qingshan's expedition, and now that Lian Qingshan has been pulled, he is still busy for family affairs, and he has not taken good care of the children's feelings, which is really undeserved.

Thinking so, Cui'er kissed her soft little face, "Do you want to eat snacks?" The peach blossom cake made by my mother~"

"Peach blossom cake? What kind of pie? After hearing the delicious food, she instantly got rid of the aggrieved little expression just now, and all her thoughts were brought to the delicious thing called Peach Blossom Cake. Her eyes were wet and shiny, and she looked straight at Cui'er, with a look of expectation, innocent and cute.

"Peach blossom cake, it's a fragrant cake made from peach blossoms in the garden, do you want to go to pick peach blossoms with your mother to make cakes?" Cui'er looked at the soft appearance, her heart had already been cute, and she hugged her soft and fragrant little body, and asked softly.

"Yes, yes......" nodded softly, needless to say, there are delicious and fun, don't be a fool!

"Okay, then the soft will go with my mother!" Cui'er smiled and hugged the soft, and asked people to see if Xiaobao had woken up, and heard that Xiaobao was still sleeping, so he left the maids to guard him, and he carried the softness through the hall in the east and went to the back garden.

Although it is the end of spring, in the back garden of Lianfu, there are still a few peach blossoms in bloom.

Of course, Cui'er will not be so ruined that she will directly pull down all the flowers, and this peach tree will bear peaches in autumn. When Cui'er picks peach blossoms with softness, she only picks petals, and always leaves three or two complete peach blossoms at intervals on her fingers, so as not to produce fruit on the tree in autumn.

I was very happy to be able to pick peach blossoms with my mother, and my white and tender chubby little hands learned from Cui'er's appearance, carefully pinched a small piece of peach blossoms and picked them, and then put them in a basket covered with cotton cloth, and then went to pick another piece.

Such a simple little game, so that the soft little mouth has been grinning, and the white and tender little face is flushed, looking extremely happy,

After a while, Cui'er picked a small handful of petals with Soft, and then went to the small kitchen in the main courtyard with Soft.

This peach blossom cake was originally used to coax children, and not to fill the stomach, naturally do not need to do too much, with the soft and soft after the petals are cleaned, then the petals are mixed with sugar and honey. The pink petals are paired with bright white sugar and amber honey, giving it a sweet taste that makes you want to taste it.

When Cui'er was about to go out, she had already asked the cook to make the noodles and make the red bean paste, but now she only needs to roll out the dough with her hands, wrap the red bean paste and peach petals, and then make the dim sum into the shape of peach blossoms.

It's soft and small, and I can't make dim sum, and when I watched Cui'er make peach blossom cakes, I was very anxious. Standing on the edge of the table, he stretched out his little hand and grabbed the dough closest to him at once, kneading it silently, not even knowing that his face was stained with white flour, and he wanted to make snacks happily.

The sunlight spilled into the kitchen faintly, and when Cui'er looked down, she saw that the flour dough was as soft as a dough, funny and tight, and reached out to scratch her little nose, and then took her to continue to make a starting point.

After a while, the peach blossom cake was done, and the peach blossom cake just out of the steamer had a thin skin and a large filling, exuding bursts of fragrance. Not to mention anything else, just look at the shape that resembles a peach blossom, as well as the light pink that comes out of the heart, with a few honey-stained peach petals, it is enough to make people love it.

"Mother, it's delicious!" Soft couldn't wait to snatch the cool peach blossom cake from Cui'er's hand, and when she took a bite, she felt that her mouth was full of sweetness, and she was very happy.

"Let's go, let's take delicious snacks and go to my brother and grandpa, okay?" Cui'er took out a handkerchief to help wipe her face softly, looked at her big eyes and smiled into a crescent moon, took her soft little hand, and went to the main courtyard. (To be continued)
