Chapter 50 Improving Fruits and Vegetables
The two of them spent the whole day in the eastern district of the capital from Beisanjo to Beiliujo non-stop condolences to 12 families.
After meeting a few colleagues in the Eastern District, they began to visit and pay homage from house to house, and they were busy all day long until more than seven o'clock in the evening.
When he returned to the city, Yu Yongjia's strength to speak was gone, and his voice was a little hoarse. Yiyi was also embarrassed to show her good spirit, and the two sent her back to the Lin family in silence all the way.
Yiyi asked him to eat, but he politely declined. Yiyi asked him to wait a while, went back and washed a few tomatoes he picked last night, and asked him to quench his thirst on the road.
The fruits and vegetables that were newly picked last night were planted in the space for generations. It seems that the space has improved the varieties of fruits and vegetables, and last night's fruits looked more beautiful than before, and the taste was even more delicious.
When the space arrived in the evening, Yiyi still used the newly harvested fruits to select seeds and carried out a new round of sowing. The Red Dome did not appear as usual.
Yiyi saw that the Qingqi Pill in the Dan prescription was the most symptomatic treatment for his father, so he carefully remembered the appearance of the awakening grass, the evil flower, and the Qixia lotus in the Danfang.
I went to the sleeping building again, in the room dedicated to stacking crops: sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and even pepper, cumin, pepper, etc., the fruits harvested by Yiyi each time were stacked layer by layer, and it was not obvious to look at them close together. But there has been a noticeable change in the inside and outside of the fruit, even more obvious than Yiyi thought last night.
At first, it was just more beautiful than normal ordinary fruits and vegetables, and the taste was sweet, but the freshly harvested fruits and vegetables not only had a perfect appearance, but also had a very attractive taste.
Yiyi took a tomato, took a bite on the red crystal clear flesh, a tempting sweet and sour juice flowed into her mouth, and she felt that the pores of her whole body were slightly opened, and a huge sense of happiness filled her body, and her whole person became lighter.
After biting, the lovely jewel-like inner pulp exudes a richer fragrance, and the delicious taste makes you can't stop eating it.
The fruits that Yiyi ate in her previous life couldn't compare to her taste. Such a good land, there should be a lot of things.
When I got up early the next morning, Yiyi called the fragrance of flowers, the clear wind, and the green bamboo to go out together.
Today is the day of the yamen's rest on March 20, and the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites will come to visit my father.
These people are scattered all over the capital, and when they come to see their father at home, it would be too hasty to rush back for lunch, and today's hospitality is imperative. When there are more customers, it is especially important to buy in the morning.
The third uncle had rented a carriage for Yiyi at the carriage and horse shop yesterday, and a carriage brought the coachman three taels of silver a month. The employer is in charge of food, shelter, and forage. The rent was paid once a month, and the third uncle also paid fifty taels of silver.
When a few people came to the door, Qingzhu called the coachman to come forward. The coachman Xu Dahu is in his twenties, with a medium height and a smiling face, and is a native of Xujiazhuang in the western suburbs of Miyan.
The rented carriage is not luxurious, but the body is spacious and freshly painted, and it looks very comfortable to look clean.
The purchase list was prepared in advance, and everyone divided the work in the car. buy ornaments and potted plants; Qingzhu buys wine and meat; Sunny wind buys seasonal vegetables and live poultry; Floral fragrance to buy fine points, aquatic products.
Several people panicked when they heard that she was going to act alone, and Yiyi looked at a few people with a smile: "Are we going to the market, or are we at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what can happen?" Besides, just a few of you, including Qingzhu, who is better than me? ”
Now the world is quiet, and Qingzhu, a scholar who grew up in the Lin family, was despised for the first time because of his force value, and silently spit out a mouthful of old blood.
The car will not arrive at the market, and everyone should shop around and pay for the goods according to the instructions. According to the rough estimate, the silver was distributed to everyone, and everyone collected it closely, and after making an appointment with the meeting place, they went separately.
As soon as everyone walked away, Yiyi went straight to the grain planting line. After walking a few stores, Yiyi bought all kinds of grains and vegetable seeds that were missing in the space, not asking for more, but only for all, and finally filled a large bamboo basket.
After coming out, he walked to the quiet place behind his back and received the seed into the space casually. Then Yiyi went to the flower and bird shop, and selected three gardenias and petals to fry and eat; I bought three pots of white chrysanthemum, and the fetal chrysanthemum was used to soak in water and drink.
Then I went to choose fruit trees, and bought two peaches, cherries, oranges, lychees, longans, pears, navel oranges, grapefruits, dates, and apples. Then I went around the flower shop one by one, and found several famous tea trees such as Longjing, Biluochun, purple bamboo shoots, and Dahongpao, and I still bought the same two plants.
Then let the shops send the flower and fruit trees to the side of the warehouse, which is a place to rent out empty warehouses for merchants to stock up. Yiyi immediately rented a warehouse of 100 square meters in the warehouse, and the rent was 100 yuan per day, and Yiyi rented it for three days.
The flower and fruit trees were sent to the warehouse, Yiyi paid off the payment, and after sending away the delivery guy, she plugged in the door and flashed into the space, and then collected all the trees into the space.
Yiyi planted fruit trees along the perimeter of the Sleeping Moon Tower; Gardenias and chrysanthemums are planted on the west side of the right hand side of the Yiyi farmhouse; Tea trees are planted on the outside of the flowering tree further west.
Thinking that it won't be long before she can drink the best tea produced in the space, Yiyi is looking forward to it.
When these are done, the outside world will only have a moment.
Later, Yiyi went to the shop where the flower and bird shop took out the ornaments, and picked out the ceramic vase on the table for the upper house of the pine courtyard; The curtains of the East and West Rooms. Then I turned back to the flower and bird row and chose a few small potted plants.
In this way, the hall where people come and go, you can barely see it.
The approximate price of these things on the bright side, everyone knows it, and Yiyi naturally has to plan to spend it. Moreover, Yiyi is easily reluctant to use the money in the space, she likes to spend the money she earns.
Today, it costs more than 20 taels to buy the wine and food ingredients for the hospitality, 7 taels of silver for the ornaments and potted curtains, plus 68 taels of silver for the buyer and the cloth and clothes bought for the first time, and more than half of the 200 taels of silver given by the third uncle have been spent.
When the mother and brothers from their hometown return to Beijing, the family will have more places to spend money. It's not clear when my father will wake up, and I don't know what precious medicinal materials I will use in the end, so prepare more money to be prepared, and making money is already imminent.
Yiyi, who has been in business for many years, has no burden on earning some money to support his family, not to mention that there is the best production in the space, which is not a problem.
Yiyi asked the guys in the store to help deliver the potted plants and ornaments to the agreed tea house, and then rewarded the guys with a handful of copper coins and sent them away. When she arrived in the West Market today, she began to shop non-stop, and only now did she have to sit down and rest.
She bought as much and as fast as she could, and it was just past nine o'clock. Yiyi ordered a bowl of hot wontons and waited for everyone while eating.
"Miss, miss, do you still buy caramel candy?"
After only two bites, a low children's voice sounded on the side. Turning his head to see, the little boy last time was still struggling to carry a basket in the crook of his arm, the basket was almost full, the little boy was a little more timid than last time, standing there looking at her, it seemed that the bleak business in the past few days hit him.
"Why are you still here to sell sugar, your mother?"
"My sister is not well yet, and the family has no money to give her medicine, so my mother has to take care of my sister at home, so she can only continue to let me sell sugar."
"Where's your father?"
"My father was smashed in the waist when he was serving as a conscriptor to repair a house two years ago, and he has been lying in bed for two years. The family now relies on my mother to sell some caramel every day to buy rice and salt. ”
A basket of sugar is only 30 packs, each pack is half a catty and eight wen, and the profit is only more than 200 yuan a day. There are so many delicacies in the capital that it is not easy to sell a basket of sugar in a day; In addition, when it is windy and rainy, cold and hot, the business is basically unattended, and the livelihood of their family should be very difficult. The child's stomach suddenly made a loud "cooing" at this time.
"I don't want to eat candy today, I'll have companions coming over later, how about you come with me for a bite to eat and so on? You can ask them if they want to buy it in a moment. ”
The child was reluctant to give up this business, but he was even more reluctant to pay for food, so he didn't speak.
"It's boring to eat alone, you can eat a little with me!" Yiyi is happy to buy things today, so she is in the mood to talk more with this child.
"Thank you, Miss!" The boy sat down at the table.
Yiyi asked the store to serve a plate of fresh meat buns first, and then cooked a bowl of chicken wontons. Yiyi first sandwiched a bun for him. The poultry and livestock of this era were all fed with pure grain, and the meat buns were exceptionally fragrant and juicy.
The two chatted while eating, and Yiyi knew that the child's name was Junzi, who was nine years old, probably not nutritious enough, and looked relatively thin. His mother is the only one who has outstanding skills in making caramel and has been walking the streets and alleys for two years to make a living by selling caramel candy.
The child eats as slowly as possible. When the wontons were served, he took out a piece of oiled paper from the basket, planning to wrap up most of the buns and take them home for his sister to eat.
"You eat these buns first, and then bring them back with hot ones for your sister." Yiyi stopped him.
Junzi swallowed the meat bun in three or two bites, and ate the wonton beautifully. A bowl of chicken juice and wontons, he ate it twice two years ago when his father was not injured.
While the two were eating, Qingzhu brought the car. The ingredients and drinks that everyone bought have been sent home first, and this is specially coming back to pick up Yiyi.
