Chapter 17: Chen Yuanwai
"Mother-in-law, I'm going grocery shopping!" Zhang Guihua, who had just finished picking vegetables, took the burden back to the yard and drank a sip of water, which was sweet and cool, and was ready to go to the village and town.
I ran back in a panic last night, and my heart burst for a long time before I stopped, and I couldn't sleep in bed at night, and I met Li Ping again, which made her body hot, and when she thought of Li Ping, her ears were hot, and she got up early this morning with dark eyes, in order to sell the vegetables early to ask for money.
"What evil did Mu Qingqing girl fall into? After enlightening himself, this will be the same, and that will be the same, and he has made so much silver. Zhang Guihua muttered while carrying the burden.
"Osmanthus, why is it so early today?" Li Qiuhua greeted her, picked up a bucket from outside the door, and prepared to go inside.
"Sister-in-law Li, you are also early, and the water has been brought back so quickly." Zhang Guihua replied with a smile, "Yo! Why are your eyes so blue, you didn't sleep well last night? ”
"Ahh Is it? I had a fever last night, so I didn't sleep much. Zhang Guihua smiled awkwardly, she must have lost her dead like this, she secretly thought in her heart, and hurriedly walked by.
Out of the village, there were more and more pedestrians, some looked at her, some smiled at her, she looked like this, she only felt ashamed, at this time, not far away, she met a familiar figure, Zhou Liuyun.
She walked up quickly, but her heart was more leisurely than before, and when she was happy, she talked to the three or two people who were hurrying next to her, asking where they went, and she didn't notice Zhang Guihua behind her at all.
Zhang Guihua has been staring at Zhou Liuyun in front of her, seeing her smiling comfortably, her heart is not happy, since Mu Qingqing's girl bumped into her and Li Ping's incident, she has been hostile to the mother and daughter, looking at what Zhou Liuyun is holding in her hand, she is jealous, her heart is horizontal, she carries the burden and goes up, and uses the end of the flat shoulder to pestle Zhou Liuyun fiercely.
"Let's let, let's let, I'm sorry." Zhang Guihua smiled at the person next to Zhou Liuyun on her face, and at the same time her body squeezed towards Zhou Liuyun's side, Zhou Liuyun didn't pay attention, and the bamboo tube in her hand was thrown into the grass next to her, "Why are you like this!" The person next to him complained, "Auntie, are you okay?" Zhou Liuyun asked with concern.
"I'm fine, you go first." She looked at the bamboo tube anxiously, and hurriedly went to pick it up, "This can't be okay!" She carefully opened the bamboo tube, looked at the rouge with a worried face, some stained cloth, but fortunately, there was no water on the grass, there was no bad rouge, the cold incense spread, there was a little broken inside, she patted her chest, fortunately it was fine, "Fortunately, it is bamboo, warp fall." Zhou Liuyun smiled knowingly.
Looking at the person's distant back, listening to the voice, he knew that it was Zhang Guihua, Zhou Liuyun glared at her back, "If you can't do it yourself, you will have a harvest!" After scolding, he covered the cloth with his hand, pressed the corner of the cloth with one finger, neatly covered the bamboo tube, and stepped up on the road with the rouge.
It was noon when he arrived in the capital, Zhou Liuyun wiped the sweat on his forehead, and the whole person was yellow.
It's much more lively here than in the town, there are people selling sugar gourds, there are people selling steamed buns, compared to the village, the people here are wearing cloth clothes, and she does feel a little restrained standing here in sackcloth.
It is said that it is the capital, but in fact, it has not yet arrived, the capital is so big, Zhou Liuyun has just entered the city gate here, and it is still far from the center, it can only be said that this is a small town in a remote area of the capital, but it is also much more lively than their village.
She stopped in front of a light-coloured wooden house, and the street was full of people, two of whom had just entered, and she had entered, beautifully decorated, to the surprise of her, a peasant woman from a remote mountainous area, though it was her second time.
A large puff of incense rushed towards her.
"It smells so good." She exclaimed, "Girl, I sold incense powder last time, and I brought some more today, you see if you still accept it." She asked gently, looking a little reserved, and placed the bamboo tube on the table, she took a step back, and put her hands on her waist honestly.
"It turned out to be you, you wait a while, I'll ask our shopkeeper." The girl wore a veil, nodded lightly at her, and went upstairs.
As soon as the tea passed, she was invited to the backyard.
The yard is not big, but it is also full of all kinds of spices, and there are some bottles and cans, she looked around, she has never seen so many such good things, just this house, she is already very envious, only the village chief lives in a wooden house, when she first came here, she only thought about how to sell the incense powder, but she didn't look carefully, but now at a glance, it is desirable.
"Auntie, you do it." A voice pulled her into reality, and she looked at the person in front of her, richly dressed, and he slowly drank his tea.
"Shopkeeper, I won't sit down, I'll be a rough person, and I'm afraid that my stool will stain you." She patted the dust off her body and smiled, a little uncomfortable. "Auntie, you're really joking, I'm looking for you this time because of your last incense powder, which is in very good condition."
"Ah, really!" As soon as he heard the shopkeeper's praise of Qing'er's incense powder, Zhou Liuyun was unconsciously happy.
"I heard that this is passed down from the ancestors?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhou Liuyun hurriedly replied.
"This incense powder is in good condition, I don't know if you are willing to come to my incense shop to work, I am short of manpower recently." As soon as Zhou Liuyun heard the news, as well as such a beautiful difference, she looked forward to it and hesitated, she looked around, green trees and pots, clay pots, and she said, "Shopkeeper, I can't give you an answer to this matter now, I have to discuss it with my daughter, she is a person with ideas."
"It's easy to say" Seeing that this matter is about to be decided, Chen Yuanwai hurriedly arrived, his incense shop is short of manpower, a few days ago he picked up samples, her incense powder sold the best, but unfortunately he matched it for two days, tried many times and didn't match it, he still wondered, isn't this just ordinary gardenia pollen?
What did she add so delicious?
For that recipe, he hadn't closed his eyes in two days.
"Then you still want this one this time." Zhou Liuyun saw that he was going to recruit workers, so he also began to let go and became familiar with it.
Chen Yuanwai paused for a moment, "I still accept it, this time the rouge tastes elegant, and it is also of the highest quality." ”
"I don't understand this, you can just give me a number." Zhou Liuyun scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"That's it, it's still two taels of silver, originally this rouge was a little little, and it couldn't reach two taels, but I have always cherished talents, so I'll give you two taels of silver." Chen Chun said heartily, although he is an incense merchant, but he pays more attention to the study of incense, for the interests, he does not care much, as long as it is a good fragrance, he will accept it, these two items, not to mention that he is here, even the most lively incense shop in the capital can not be taken, if it is put in the city to sell, it is estimated that it will be fried into a few gold.
