Chapter 173: Popular
"I can't do that much for a while. In this case, I will go home and ask my mother and a few aunts, if they have the kung fu, let them help them. ”
"Okay, hurry. How much does it cost? Xiao Rou couldn't wait, urging to ask the price.
Cai Wei calculated the price of muslin, cotton and herbs in her heart, and after thinking for a while, she gave a number, "One penny, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Okay, one tael of silver can buy ten, enough for me for two months." Xiaorou was overjoyed, discussed with Caiwei, and picked up the goods in five days.
The two of them said a few more thoughtful words, and Xiao Rou got out of the carriage and went home surrounded by servants.
Cai Wei and Lu Ying went home.
When I got home, it was already dark, and Widow Mu had already driven the chickens to the coop.
Cai Wei entered the door and pulled Widow Mu into the hall.
Widow Mu muttered, "You girl, what are you doing in a hurry?" ”
"Mother, do you have a job that makes money?" She said mysteriously.
Widow Mu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "What kind of work?" ”
"That's what I do." Cai Wei hurriedly took out the panties and sanitary napkins she had made.
Widow Mu looked at it for a while before she said, "This thing is small, you can figure it out." You are, someone wants to buy it? ”
"Well, it's been negotiated, and the delivery will be made in five days. Mother, you and Dakui's sister-in-law, if you can't do it again, call a few more aunts and aunts, can you do twenty in five days? If you're busy, make a few more of these pants. ”
Cai Wei spread her underwear on the kang and showed it to Widow Mu, "Mother, sew a piece of soft leather here, and wear it during menstruation so that it won't leak." ”
Widow Mu had made two of these trousers for Cai Wei according to what Cai Wei had taught her, but they were just sewing an extra piece of leather on her crotch.
Naturally, it was difficult for her to rely on needlework for most of her life, and Widow Mu immediately agreed, and she found Dakui's daughter-in-law early the next morning to discuss the matter.
Dakui's daughter-in-law is now old and young, and she can't go up to the mountains to hunt for silver.
She was so grateful that she deliberately found Cai Wei and said a lot of words of thanks, "Cai Wei, my sister-in-law knows that you are taking care of me." Your eldest brother is gone, and every man in the family will have no income. I am a woman, and I can't do anything other than cook and take my children up the mountain to chop some firewood. Girl, this is to feed our family, sister-in-law eats fasting and recites Buddha in this life, and prays for you every day. ”
As she spoke, she was moved to tears.
Cai Wei hurriedly pulled her and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't be like this, you also helped me." It's not easy for you and my mother to take the child and do needlework while herding chickens. In this way, give my sister-in-law twenty copper plates a day, and my sister-in-law thinks it's okay? ”
"Ahh Sister-in-law, I've never made so much money, and the girl is taking care of our orphans and widows. Dakui's daughter-in-law was in tears and looked at Cai Wei with a grateful face.
"Okay, whether it's taking care of it or anything else, it's all from the villagers, and it's good if my sister-in-law can help me."
Immediately, a few people decided, and Cai Wei went to the death pavilion with Lu Ying.
Li Zhuang was carried over again after noon, Cai Wei checked his injuries, put a batch of maggots on him again, drank the boiled medicine and went back.
Xiao Rou came to make a face every afternoon, and chatted with Cai Weila for a few days, and the two were familiar with each other.
On the fifth day, Cai Wei brought her a pack of finished sanitary napkins and underwear, and Xiaorou immediately gave her five taels of silver.
Li Zhuang's wound was fortunately not infected, the maggots ate the necrotic tissue, and the wound got better day by day, and after more than ten days, the wound actually healed.
A few days later, Xiaorou came happily, saying that several of her sisters thought that Caiwei's sanitary napkins were easy to use, as well as the little pants, which were worn in summer, and they no longer had to sit and lie down when they had menstruation, for fear of soiling the mattress.
For a while, the women in the market town of Momoyama heard about it, and they rushed to the dead pavilion to buy sanitary napkins and small underwear.
Because of the need, the women of Lijia Village were mobilized by Widow Mu to make sanitary napkins and small underwear every day, and Cai Wei took the time to put the ground motherwort powder into it at night.
On the second day, he brought it back to the Dead Pavilion and sold it.
At the end of the day, there is enough income of more than a dozen taels of silver.
Not to mention this, the key is that the doctor who rose from the death pavilion cured Li Zhuang's leg that should have been sawed off, and it was rumored in the town for a while.
Many people saw how Mu Caiwei was governed that day, and when everyone talked about it, who didn't know who didn't know?
After tea and dinner, teahouse and restaurant, these days, people say the most is that the miracle doctor of the Death Pavilion is amazing, and he uses maggots to treat people, which is really miraculous.
On this day, at noon and dinner, Cai Wei took Zhu Er to buy some muslin, leather, cotton and other things, Lu Ying and Li Ruzhou followed the street when they were idle, and several people walked and strolled, carrying things in their hands from time to time.
Walked to a wide street, surrounded by black people in front of them, I don't know what they were doing.
Cai Wei put her hand on the pergola and looked at it, there seemed to be a notice posted on the snow-white wall in front of her, and there were two officials in soap clothes guarding beside her.
Li Ruzhou followed up and said to Cai Wei, "This is the emperor's list, I don't know what happened in the palace?" ”
Lu Ying's eyes flashed, Chen Yong sent someone to tell him last night, I heard that the thirteenth son of the emperor was seriously ill, and the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital were helpless.
He glanced sideways at Cai Wei, who was looking seriously, and thought that if this girl knew about this, would she be tempted?
That's a golden tael!
It's just that this has to cure the illness of the thirteenth son of the emperor, if it can't be cured, I'm afraid it won't end well.
Therefore, since the emperor list was posted, there have been many people around, but none of them dared to show their heads.
Cai Wei stood behind the people, glanced at it from a distance, and then listened to everyone's discussions, and understood what was going on.
It turned out that the thirteenth son of the emperor was seriously ill!
I heard that if you cure well, you will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!
What a temptation!
If you really want to be cured, you will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life.
It's just that the capital is far away, and the palace is treacherous and changeable, and Cai Wei still doesn't want to wade into this troubled water.
"Let's go, everything is bought and we can bask in the sun here?" Cai Wei turned around and greeted a few big men.
Lu Ying's quietly clenched fist also loosened, only to find that her palms were full of cold sweat.
God, when he heard Chen Yong say that he would reward 10,000 taels of gold, he thought about not letting Cai Wei know.
God knows if this girl will be tempted when she hears about this.
This girl was poor and afraid, and her eyes would glow when she heard about the silver, and she wondered how to make money every day.
I heard that there are 10,000 taels of gold to be earned, what if this girl is tempted?
When the time comes, she really unveils the emperor's list, goes to the capital, and gets into the troubled waters of the palace, and her life will not be as stable as it is now.
A few people walked back, and suddenly heard someone on the side of the street talking, "Now you can't even use the medical skills of the imperial doctor?" If Imperial Physician Li was still alive, the thirteenth son of the emperor would not be like this! ”
"Yes, it's a pity that Imperial Physician Li's family has suffered a tragedy, and they have been dead for many years. I thought that the emperor ordered the house to be raided, the man was killed, the woman was exiled, and the family was gone. ”
"This can be regarded as retribution, the emperor killed Imperial Doctor Li's family, and now the little prince is seriously ill and there is no one to treat him."
A few people discussed, and then dispersed.
Cai Wei returned to the Death Pavilion, only to find that Li Ruzhou's face was frighteningly white.
