Chapter 47: A Big Sale
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the last market day of the year, many people will hurry up to prepare for the New Year's goods on this day, and the spring grass went to the town on the twenty-fifth, and the twenty-sixth had to help in the dim sum shop.
On the twenty-fifth day, Lu Ziqi sent Chuncao to the town in the morning, and then went back, and the pillar wanted to rebuild a chicken yard in the backyard, so he asked Lu Ziqi to help.
I didn't see Xue Yueyue and the others that day, only the eldest girl was eating melon seeds alone in the store, and asked the eldest girl curiously, "Why didn't you see Yueyue, Wanyun and them?" ”
"The old lady of the Wanfeng family is here, and they all go home obediently and stay." The big girl has a pout, these rich families have many rules and pay attention to them.
"What kind of character is the old lady?" Chuncao was very curious, even Wanfeng had to go back and squat obediently, who would come.
"Didn't you see Sister Yueyue and her brother last time, you came with her brother, Wan Feng's grandfather, Sister Yueyue's grandfather, it is said that he is still a general of the former dynasty."
"Hey, the former general? How could you marry your daughter to this place? ”
"I heard Sister Yueyue say that their family used to go to Beijing, it is said that the Xue family is quite famous in Beijing, it is a scholarly family, her mother is a general, the two fell in love in private, but the families of the two families are opposed, the Xue family said that they want to marry a lady from the scholarly family, and the Wan family is not happy, and they also say that they will not marry the daughter of the Wan family to the Xue family, a scholar who can't resist the shoulders and can't mention, the two families are on the bar, forcing the two to go on a blind date every day. The two of them couldn't stand it, it just so happened that Yueyue's father had a grandfather who loved him very much, and he was in Shuangshi Town, the hometown of the Xue family, and people came to this Shuangshi Town, so that his grandfather presided over the two became relatives, and he didn't go back to Beijing. After having a child, in fact, they are quite right, and there is no deep hatred, and the two families can barely recognize each other. Later, the Xue family came to pick up the two of them back to Shangjing, but neither of them was willing, but the child was taken away, that is, Sister Yueyue's brother, so Sister Yueyue's brother grew up in Beijing, and Yueyue stayed with her parents for a long time because she was a girl. ”
Chuncao was stunned when she heard it, so Wan Feng's grandfather was a former general? Is the Yueyue family a famous family in Beijing? This Shuangshi Town is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, they all have such a background, and they were all met by her. But it doesn't seem to be my business, and I can still live my own small life.
After listening to the gossip, Chuncao came back to her senses, and asked the big girl to sort out the dried fruit snacks together, and asked the big girl to put the dried fruit snacks with similar prices together, and prepare to do a big promotion when she catches up with the market tomorrow, and sell these snacks, so that the big girl doesn't have to stay in the town to see the shop, and she can go back to the village with her for the New Year with peace of mind.
In the evening, Lu Ziqi came over, thinking that the last day of tomorrow was to catch the market, and he was not at ease with the two girls, so he had to come over and watch the point, and prepare to help watch the store together tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Chuncao instructed Lu Ziqi to set up a door panel at the door of the store, and the three of them moved the sorted dried fruit snacks outside and placed them on the door panel. There are two sets in a month, and the New Year is coming in a few days, so there are many people on the street in the morning, and it is a little crowded.
Chuncao stood in the door panel, and began to shout at the top of his voice, "Dried fruit snacks are on sale, buy five catties and get one catty free, buy and give, just this day, the opportunity should not be missed." ”
There are a lot of people around this yo ho, Chuncao introduced one by one, which areas have the same price of different products, the same price, you can also buy different types of dried fruit snacks, but many people say that they can't do so much five catties, Chuncao will give people an idea, you can buy five catties together with several people, and then one person will share a little. As soon as everyone thought about it, there were both buying and giving, and they could buy different dried fruit snacks at one price, which was cost-effective, so a few people shouted after discussion, "Give us five catties." ”
There are one and there are two, and gradually people surround more, Chuncao helps people pack and weigh, the big girl collects the money, Lu Ziqi will transport the dim sum inside to the outside, in the morning, all the dim sum in the dim sum shop is sold out like this, the big girl looked at Chuncao with a look of admiration, I can't believe that so many goods in the store were sold by her in the morning.
At noon, my brother and sister-in-law came to the market to prepare the New Year's goods, but there were too many people and the spring grass was really unwilling to squeeze, so I planned to go to the market later.
After lunch, there were fewer people, a few people went to the market together, prepared some New Year's food, Chuncao was also ready to buy half a pig's pork, go back to smoke bacon, was stopped by his brother, my brother said that there were two pigs in the family, sold one, left one ready to kill the New Year, to kill the pig, and then send half to Chuncao, don't buy it.
In the afternoon, there were not many people on the street, so Chuncao asked the big girl to pack up her things, and asked her to go back with her now, since there was nothing to do in the town, there was no need to run at both ends.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Xue Yueyue coming, and he was carrying a big package with this maid behind, and when he saw a few people preparing to go out, he asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to Brother Lu's house, it's almost the New Year, where are you going?" The eldest girl saw Xue Yueyue's big package and said curiously.
"Take me with you, I'm running away from home. Chuncao, take me in, I'll go to your house with the big girl. Xue Yueyue looked at Chuncao pitifully with a pleased expression.
"You ran away from home? Why? Chuncao looked at the maid and package behind Xue Yueyue, very speechless, did you run away from home and still carry the luggage.
"Hmph, isn't it because of Fang Dalang, he asked him to mention a pro-grinding and chirping, and he kept delaying, but my grandfather came, saying that my cousin didn't have a daughter-in-law, and asked me to be engaged to my cousin, so I ran away from home."
Ten thousand winds? Chuncao was very surprised, this is a close relative, but there seem to be quite a lot of cousins and sisters in this era. However, Wan Feng is from the same era as himself, and he will definitely not agree. Xue Yueyue is one year older than herself, and she has not yet been engaged, so her family is probably in a hurry.
Seeing that Chuncao didn't speak, Xue Yueyue pulled Chuncao's sleeve and kept shaking, "Chuncao, you can kindly take me in." ”
Chuncao had no choice but to nod, lock the dim sum shop, and the group took an ox cart and went to Xiaowang Village.
When he got home, Chuncao arranged the eldest girl and Yueyue into the left room, and the maid arranged it into the west wing.
The big girl is okay, Yueyue is very excited, the last time I came to have a meal and left, this time I can stay, as soon as I settle down, I will pull the big girl to look east and west.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the mother's house killed the New Year's pig, Chuncao and Lu Ziqi wanted to go over to help, ready to leave a few people at home, but Yueyue didn't do it, she also wanted to go, she hadn't seen the pig killed, and in the end she could only take two people.
A pig has more than 200 catties of pork, the butcher chops it into pieces, pickles it with salt, hangs it on the stove, and smokes bacon with the firewood for cooking when cooking.
Chuncao Niang asked Lu Ziqi to pull half of the pig's meat over, but Chuncao didn't let her, saying that she would take two pieces of meat to eat first, and then come over to get it after eating.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, there was snow in the sky, I was afraid that the snow mat would be up, and the ox cart would not be easy to go out, so Lu Ziqi drove the ox cart to the town to buy things.
Chuncao was busy frying peanuts, small fish, and loose seeds, the maid Xiaolan helped to help, and the big girl helped to light the fire, but Xue Yueyue was busy eating.
At noon, Lu Ziqi came back with an ox cart, and it was unbelievable that he actually took Fang Dalang and Wan Feng with him.
"Fang Dalang, I ran away from home for you, let me tell you, if you don't marry me at the beginning of next year, I will rely on your family." As soon as she saw Fang Dalang, Xue Yueyue was furious.
Fang Dalang touched his nose stupidly, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, he pulled Yueyue and went out of the courtyard to the river to talk.
"Why are you here?" Chuncao asked Wanfeng curiously.
"I was kicked out by the old man, and I said that I don't have to go back if I don't take Xue Yueyue back." Wan Feng replied with a smile, driving out was actually what he wanted, he didn't plan to go back for the New Year, he was tired of watching the old man blowing his beard and staring at him every day.
"Then you hurry up and take Yueyue back, Xiaolan will go pack up her things, and let the nerd drive the ox cart to send you in a while." Chuncao felt that it was indeed not a matter for Xue Yueyue to stay here for the New Year.
"No, we're not going back, we're going to spend the New Year here, I'm bothering you, where do I live?" After saying that, he also took a package from the ox cart.
Chuncao opened her mouth in surprise, looked at Wan Feng, and then turned her head to look at Lu Ziqi who was unloading things on the ox cart, not knowing what to say.
Wan Feng kept looking at Chuncao, and when Chuncao arranged a place for him to live, Chuncao could only point to the west wing, "You live next door to Xiaolan." ”
"Young Master Cousin, I'll take you there." Xiaolan took the package in Wan Feng's hand and went to the west wing.
Xiaolan is a maid who grew up with Xue Yueyue since she was a child, the two have a good relationship, she hopes that her young lady will marry her young master, the conditions are good, and the person will grow well, that Fang Dalang is a village barbarian, and if the young lady marries him, she may have to endure a lot of hardship.
There was no one in the kitchen, and when the eldest girl saw Xue Yueyue being pulled out, she went to the kitchen to watch, only Chuncao and Lu Ziqi were left in the yard, Chuncao looked helpless, and looked at Lu Ziqi with a bitter face.
"If he wants to stay, he will stay, there are many people during the New Year, and it will be lively." Lu Ziqi opened his mouth, he came here, and it was impossible to drive people away, so he made it clear to him on the way, as long as he didn't beat his daughter-in-law's idea.
After a while, Fang Dalang and Xue Yueyue came in, and Fang Dalang said goodbye to everyone and went back.
Xue Yueyue also looked like no one, Chuncao looked at it and felt that this girl's heart was really big.
Wan Feng went to the house where he lived to take a look, left Xiaolan to clean up the room, and came out by himself to help Lu Ziqi move the things he bought into the house.
Xue Yueyue looked at it and asked in surprise, "Cousin, aren't you leaving?" ”
"Isn't this all thanks to you, what did you do to run away from home, and I was kicked out." Wan Feng deliberately replied with a bitter face.
Knowing that Wan Feng was acting on purpose, Chuncao pulled Xue Yueyue and went directly to the kitchen, "Don't worry about him, let's fry fish balls." ”
