Chapter 143: Trouble
And if a child is sick and has a bad appetite or something, you can also save some energy to think about what to eat to appease the child, and directly buy a meatloaf and coax it to eat, which is delicious and nourishing, and you don't need to wash the dishes! Therefore, this meatloaf came from behind, mainly because others called the family, and it could be sold for forty or fifty servings on a good day.
Willow Branch is a simple little woman with low vision, not many ideas, and not too demanding. Now she is busy guarding a small shop every day, and she is thriving with her own efforts, and she is satisfied. Just waiting for her man to come back and it's all done.
The amazing thing is that Liu Zhi never wanted to rely on Li Chun to become rich and rich, on the contrary, she is working hard to make a living for herself and Li Chun, she will not let Li Chun go to sea again, and when he comes back to expand the shop a little, it will be enough to be busy.
The willow branch has been asked for in the morning, and after removing the expenses, it can earn one or two taels of silver in the first month, and six taels of silver in the second month! It can be seen that the days are rushing. If Brother Xiaochun comes back this time empty-handed, he won't be tight, and he will be able to pay off the 10,000 taels if he tightens his pants pockets for ten or eight years.
And Mrs. Seven took care of her a lot, just the two of Mother Zhang's Xingrui helped her a lot, and she bought some fine white noodles and white sugar one day, and made a snack to send to Mrs. Seven. Liu Zhi chatted with Mrs. Seven for a while, inquired about the situation on the man's side, and asked for advice on how to exchange copper coins for silver.
Mrs. Seven was very kind and told her in detail about the difference in the prices of gold, silver, and copper in different places, so there were people who specialized in this kind of business. If you exchange gold and silver in other places, the difference in price earned by the large amount of principal is also very considerable.
Liu Zhi smiled awkwardly: "It's just 5,000 Wen, I want to change the ingot." ”
Mrs. Seventh didn't laugh at her, saying that someone in the Bai family was responsible for the special exchange, and she brought her three melons and two dates by the way.
Mrs. Seven is so nice. Willow Branch happily went back to get the money. "You say, what kind of expression will Li Chun have if he wants to know that his wife is bothering to make a tael of silver and a tael of silver?" Mrs. Seven sighed.
Look at this little lady Li, although she is clothed and woody, she is in excellent spirits, her face is ruddy and full of energy, and her voice is also loud, obviously her life is smooth, interesting, and hopeful. The grandmother who accompanied her mother-in-law said quietly: "I envy Mrs. Li." ”
Li Niangzi is young and the color is just right, so she has simple makeup and light appearance, but the hairpin on her head can only recognize it as Mi Canaan. Mi Canaan is like a kiln change, but it is impossible to find, the Bai family has only received it twice in so many years of walking in Nanyang, and they have all entered it. Among them, there is a section as high as seven inches, and the interior is finely carved into a mountain dedicated to the birthday of the Queen Mother at that time, and the Bai family won the royal reward and was allowed to go to sea.
Now this Micanan is wearing on the head of a little lady who sells food to dock workers, and her eyes hurt when she looks at it. Li Chun said at the time, this is the best thing, of course leave it to Xiaozhi.
The old man and young master of the Bai family are far away, and they all do their best for the family, but the men should have concubines around them, and the women can only wait day after day in the courtyard of the deep house. Every day, I only worry about what kind of hairstyle to comb and what kind of dishes to eat, but no one looks at the use of combing my hair no matter how novel it is.
Like Mrs. Li, her hands grind out of cocoons, but she can live on her own, and it's worth it.
At present, I can't think of how to do it with salted fish and willow branches, and who doesn't have a few salted fish by the sea, most of them are steamed and eaten on rice. Fish is very oil-intensive, otherwise it will be extremely fishy, so willow branches never only make fish to sell, but also eat occasionally.
There was a lot of cooking that day, and Liu Zhi suddenly remembered that he had given Li Chun food when he was a child, so he kneaded the white rice into rice balls and wrapped vegetables and sent it to him. She tried to knead the rice balls, steamed the dried salted fish and mashed it softly, wrapped it in it, and it was very delicious. This kind of rice ball is also a penny, which is very suitable for busy people, and they will leave and eat while walking, and there will be no soup and water to make people who do things dirty.
Business is booming, and every day is busy until the afternoon, when Liu Zhi and a few of them have time to sit down and rest for lunch. There were still a few rice balls left on this day, and the willow branches were carefully roasted on the fire, and it tasted delicious again.
Xiao Shrimp shouted: "It's more delicious this way, the owner, we sell Sanwen like this, and some people rush to eat it." ”
Aunt Xu patted the back of his head, "Where did you get the time to bake like this, it's too late to rush to eat." Little Shrimp touched the back of her head and grinned.
Life went smoothly. I don't think that her small shop is also being targeted, and I only blame her for cleaning up the shop too cleanly, not to mention the fresh painting, the windows are wiped clean every day, and the willow branches also brought a small pot of orchids at home, which is different.
It was rumored that a small business became-"Master Lin, the little widow's business is so good, and the person is also a pretty person, it is said that it can be tasted." ”
This so-called Lin Ye is a tyrant on the dock, and he has five big and three rough life, in addition to managing the dock workers, the small vendors on the dock will also pay him some money for safety. It stands to reason that the serious shops on West Street are not covered by him, this is a household, but the main customers on West Street are dock workers, so it more or less gives this Lin Ye some face.
Who knew that this Lin Ye was forty-three years old, and his mother-in-law had been dead for five years, and he suddenly had a spring heart. He watched the willow branches a few times in and outside the store, and finally determined that such a young and fresh, capable and capable little widow with family wealth could not let go. Lin Ye still felt that he was strangely serious, and he sent a matchmaker to the door, not like the direct door-to-door intimidation that he had taken a fancy to in the past, it was all vulgar mothers-in-law who did not enter the stream, just play with it, this lovely little widow still wants to live with her seriously, of course she must be cautious.
Early in the morning of this day, someone knocked on the door in Liufu Lane, and as soon as Zhang's mother opened the door, a mother-in-law wearing red and green came in, and her eyes couldn't stop dripping and turning.
Zhang's mother was startled: "What are you doing?" "Went up and pulled her out.
Xingrui heard the movement and came out to see, and the woman pulled her neck and shouted, "I'm here to congratulate you." While breaking free of Zhang's mother's hand and wanting to drill into the room, Xingrui drank her: "What do you want to do, this mother-in-law." ”
Liu Zhi also opened the curtain and stood out to see what was going on, and when he saw the main son appear, his mother-in-law smiled with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Mrs. Hexi, I was entrusted by Lin Ye to propose marriage to Mrs. Hexi." ”
The mother-in-law also gushed about how tall and mighty Lin Ye is, how he has silver, "The little lady appreciates the old body with a cup of tea, so that the old man can sit down and give the little lady a good talk about this Lin Ye's net worth." ”
This is really a man sitting at home, and woe comes from heaven. As soon as the willow branch turned over, gritted his teeth, he approached the utility room and took a laundry mallet to the mother-in-law, which was a good beating, and the mother-in-law fled. Zhang's mother and Xingrui looked at each other, and Zhang's mother cautiously said, "It's the old slave who didn't look at the door and let this woman slip in." ”
Liu Zhi puffed up and said, "It's none of your business." Told Zhang's mother to take care of the portal, and took Xingrui to the store to be busy.
It is said that the mother-in-law was beaten and found Lin Ye, her face was full of gloom, and she was ouching in her mouth, and a few people on the side laughed: "The flower woman is in a good mood today, what are you looking for to go to wow, this face is colorful." ”
Hua Pozi took a sip and said to Lin Ye: "Ouch Lin Ye, that little widow is not an ordinary person, look at my face, I have been beaten a lot." As soon as I mentioned your name, she beat me up. ”
Everyone laughed: "It's still a little pepper." "Spicy is enough to taste, what is the meaning of dead fish." "Master Lin, this mother-in-law doesn't know how to lift, do you want to clean it up. Hua Pozi squeezed in front of Lin Ye with a sad face to express her merits: "Lin Ye, look at me being beaten, ouch." ''I held a grudge in my heart, and I took a mallet, and added oil and vinegar to my mouth, "Master Lin, that little widow, she said that you are a toad, you want to eat swan meat, the turtle wants to climb the back of the phoenix, and you still wash and sleep early." ”
Lin Ye was angry in his heart, his face was not obvious, and he threw a piece of broken silver to Mrs. Hua: "The alias is lost, take it to drink and eat." While standing up and tightening his belt, "Let's go, I'm going to meet this spicy little widow." ”
