Chapter 10 Selling Rose Water

The eldest lady who saw this scene on the side hurriedly walked over and said in surprise, "Little girl, your water is still really valuable, just these four cans are sold for forty yuan, which is more than what I earn in a day by selling tofu."

It's really unseemly, this little girl looks dressed in tatters, but she didn't expect to be a good seller.

"The raw materials are good, the price is naturally more expensive, auntie, I still have some honey lemonade left, you can drink it to quench your thirst." Lin Yao smiled and handed her the remaining honey lemonade that had just been opened.

"Then what's the matter, the eldest lady doesn't drink it, this water is so expensive, you can keep it and sell it for money." The eldest lady hurriedly refused.

"It's okay, auntie, this can is for people to try, it's not for sale, you can take it and drink it." This lady can be regarded as instructing her, the weather is so hot, she should give her some water to drink.

"Okay then, then the lady will also taste this precious water." After speaking, the eldest lady took the bamboo tube with a smile and drank a few sips, her eyes instantly lit up, "Well, it's delicious, this water is really delicious, no wonder it can be sold for so much money, it's worth it." ”

After the two talked and laughed for a while, Lin Yao continued to sell.

"Little sister, what kind of water are you, is it delicious?" After a while, an aunt with a vegetable basket came over and asked.

"Of course it's delicious, my name is honey lemonade, you can taste it first." Lin Yao hurriedly picked up the bamboo tube and handed it to her aunt.

The aunt smacked her lips with satisfaction after taking a few sips, "Well, it's really delicious, sweet and sour, and quite fragrant, how much is a can?" ”

"Ten cents and a can." Lin Yao replied with a smile.

"Shiwen? That's too expensive, right? Ten cents for a drink? Didn't you little girl ask for a price?" said the aunt with a slight frown.

"Auntie, I'm made of honey and lemon, you can drink the honey, this honey alone is not cheap, and I also add lemons here, it's hard to find, so I'm worth selling it for ten cents." Hearing her aunt's complaint, Lin Yao didn't get angry, just smiled and explained.

Aunt Wenyan lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "Well, it seems to be the same, then bring me a jar first, and I'll take it back to my daughter to taste." After speaking, she happily took out ten cents and handed it to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao hurriedly took the money, then handed the aunt a jar of honey lemonade and beckoned the aunt to come often.

After the affirmation of the two guests, Lin Yao also had some confidence and experience in her heart, and she greeted her more hard-working and confident.

On the other side, Xiao Moyao threw the horsewhip to the secret guard, walked into the Pinju Pavilion of the No. 1 Restaurant in the town with an indifferent expression, and walked through the curved stairs and entered a private room under the guidance of a junior second.

Seeing Xiao Moyao come in, a man in the private room immediately curled his lips and quipped, "Yo, isn't this our iron-faced god of war Xiao Yan?" Why are you smiling a little like a spring breeze today, come, tell my brother, is the red luan star moving? ”

The one who spoke was a noble son, his temples were like a knife, his face was springy, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes were a pair of peerless beauties, and a lake blue silk robe lined with the nobility around him, which was the only grandson of the old general Murong today, Murong Xuanyi.

At this moment, he was leaning on the rosewood carved chaise longue, playing with an empty white fat jade cup in his hand, and staring at Xiao Moyao with a deep smile.

In fact, in the eyes of ordinary people, Xiao Moyao still looks cold, but as a brother who has experienced life and death together, this man's face is obviously much better than usual.

Xiao Moyao ignored him, sat down and picked up the wine glass and poured a glass for himself, then poured it down in one gulp, and said lightly, "Ah Rin." ”

As soon as the words fell, the man in black fell from the roof beam and made a respectful gesture, "Young master, that man's movements have been restrained after receiving the things, and it seems that he will no longer try to cause trouble." ”

Hearing this, Murong Xuanyi sneered, "This son of a dog read the letter and dared to turn over the waves, his current monstrous blessing is just a handout given to him by Ah Yan." ”

Xiao Moyao didn't say anything, he lowered his eyes and poured a glass of wine for both of them, "What, are you planning to stay with me all the time?" ”

"Hey! You don't know what to do, how many ladies in the capital are looking forward to having a meal with their sons, you iron-faced wood, it's really boring, hum!" Saying that, Murong Xuanyi raised the wine glass and poured it down.

The face is debauched and casual, but the sadness and hatred in those eyes are clearly visible.

Xiao Moyao glanced at it, and then took a drink, "Ah Yi, there are some things you still have to face after all, and you don't have to waste yourself for a woman." ”

"Bang!" Murong Xuanyi slammed the white fat jade wine glass in his hand to the ground, and Ah Rin saw it and quickly knelt down, lowering his head.

"Huh! Face, how do you let me face it! She even climbed into that bitch's bed in order to belittle herself, how can you tell me to bear it!" Murong Xuanyi's eyes were red with anger, and his chest was heaving violently.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Moyao frowned slightly, and finally stopped saying anything, and gave Ah Rin a look, Ah Rin instantly and clearly changed Murong Xuanyi to a new white fat jade wine glass, and filled the two with wine.

The two of them drank cup by cup, sometimes between men like this, you don't have to say anything about comfort, just accompany him to drink and drink to the fullest.

————

However, in more than an hour, Lin Yao's honey lemonade was all sold out, and a total of twenty-four cans were sold, a total of two hundred and forty yuan, carrying a somewhat heavy amount of silver, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The things she has picked up these days can finally be sold, otherwise her boasting of five taels of silver in Haikou will not be easy to return.

After saying goodbye to the eldest lady, Lin Yao carried the rose water on her back to find the yard of the big family.

After a while, she found a magnificently decorated mansion, Lin Yao guessed that this place should be a rich family, Lin Yao looked around the courtyard to find a small door, knocked on it.

There's no way, I'm dressed up like I'm asking for food, in ancient times, it was disrespectful for you to walk into someone's door like this, and they wouldn't let you in.

And if you want to sell something, it's usually through this small door where people enter and exit.

"Squeak-" The one who opened the door was a forty or fifty-year-old aunt, seeing that she was dressed well, she should be a lady who was waiting for her next step, and when she saw Lin Yao, the eldest aunt said, "Little girl, are you here to find food?" I'm ......."

"No, Auntie, I'm here to sell skin care lotion." Lin Yao hurriedly interrupted the aunt's words and explained, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and she didn't wonder that this aunt could admit her mistake, the coarse cloth clothes she was wearing now were patched, and it really looked like she was here to ask for food, but fortunately she didn't sell it from the door.

She took out a can of rose water from her back basket, "Auntie, this is a skin care water I made myself, you can try it first and see if it works." ”

"Lotion of skincare?" This word is fresh, but it is not difficult to understand, the eldest aunt watched Lin Yao pour out some rose water, and then wiped it on the back of her hand, and after carefully wiping it evenly, Lin Yao said, "Okay, auntie, take a look, how is the effect?" ”

Seeing this, the aunt hurriedly touched the back of her hand that had wiped the rose water, it felt slippery and moist, and she raised her hand to smell it, exuding a faint smell of prickly roses, which smelled very good.

She immediately lit up her eyes, and said to Lin Yao with some excitement, "Little girl, don't say that your skin care lotion is quite easy to use."

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Auntie, my skin care water is called rose water, the rose of the thorn rose, it can be applied everywhere on the body, it is the best to use it to nourish the skin, and the skin will turn white after a long time." ”

The aunt also nodded when she heard this, and said affirmatively, "It's really good, little girl, how much is your skin care lotion in a can?" ”

"One tael of silver," Lin Yao said with a smile, "My rose water is more time-consuming and wasteful to make, and I promise you that no one but me will make this rose water." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Yan frowned slightly, "One or two silver?" She has also seen expensive rouge, but it is very rare to sell it for a tael of silver, "That's it, little girl, your price is a bit high, can you give me your jar first, and I'll take it in and give it to my wife first." ”

"No problem." Lin Yao handed her the rose water in her hand without hesitation, she believed that her wife would definitely be tempted, and such a big family would not pit herself for this little thing.

She waited patiently outside the door for about a quarter of an hour, and then saw the aunt run out out of breath again.

"Eh, little girl, your skin care lotion is really good, my wife said I want two cans to try first." As she spoke, the aunt took out two taels of silver and handed them to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao smiled and accepted the silver, then took out two jars and handed them to her.

"Little girl, if there's anything else useful, take a look!" Before leaving, the aunt greeted her with a smile.

Lin Yao answered with a smile and left.

After that, Lin Yao carried the rose water on her back and found a few big families to ask, but in an hour, all ten cans of rose water were sold.

Lin Yao, who got the result, was not so surprised, the effect of rose water was there, and it was expected to sell quickly.

Then she went to the embroidery workshop to hand over Yao's mother's four embroideries, exchanged them for 12 yuan, and found a medical hall to exchange the dried herbs for 35 yuan.

After selling all the things, Lin Yao calculated carefully, she made a total of ten taels and two hundred and eighty-seven wen this time, which can be regarded as a huge amount of money in Peach Blossom Village, how many people can't earn this silver without eating or drinking.

Lin Yao carefully put the money into her arms, seeing that it was still early, she was about to buy some rice noodles and spices, but on the way she saw a steamed bun seller, and the uncle who sold the steamed buns shouted, "Three pennies is a big meat bun, the skin is thin and the meat is thick, come and sell it." ”

Lin Yao swallowed slightly, she felt a little tired after working for so long, so she walked over to the uncle who sold steamed buns.

"The little girl wants a meat bun" The uncle who bought the bun looked at Lin Yao and greeted with a smile, not looking down on her because of Lin Yao's dress.

"Well, uncle, bring me ten meat buns." After speaking, she took out thirty coins from the broken silver and handed it to the uncle.

"Ten?" Hearing this, Uncle Yan was obviously stunned for a moment, but after seeing Lin Yao paying, he hurriedly picked out the meat buns and packed them, and secretly glanced at Lin Yao with his eyes, originally thinking that this little girl was stealing the family's money to buy meat buns to satisfy her hunger, but she didn't expect to have so much money on her.

After loading it, the uncle handed the ten meat buns held in oiled paper to Lin Yao, and said with a smile, "The little girl will come again next time." ”

"Well, I got it, uncle." Lin Yao responded with a smile and left.

Holding the hot meat bun in her arms on the way, Lin Yao couldn't help but take out one and take a bite hard, well, it's really fragrant, this bun has a lot of filling, and it tastes good, and she finished eating one after a while.

After eating the steamed buns, Lin Yao inquired about the way again, came to a rice shop to look at the rice, asked the shopkeeper about the price, and learned that "brown rice costs two cents a catty, coarse rice costs three cents a catty, polished rice costs five cents a catty, and flour costs seven cents a catty"

After listening to the price, Lin Yao thought about it, and finally decided to ask for fifty catties of polished rice and fifty catties of white noodles.

With money, she didn't want to eat bran anymore, isn't it just to improve the quality of life to earn money, so Lin Yao didn't hesitate to choose polished rice and white noodles, and generously paid the deposit, and told Xiao Er that she would come back to get these rice noodles later.

These rice noodles will never be able to be held by her own small body, so she will let Brother Xiao drive the carriage over to help her bring them back.

Then she went to the spice shop to pick out some onions, ginger, garlic, salt, sugar and other necessary seasonings, and bought some soybean sauce to make some meat sauce, but she has been hungry for Tsubaki vegetable dipping sauce, and this ancient ordinary soybean sauce she just tasted, fishy and astringent, or wait for her to buy her own ingredients to make some meat sauce.

Passing by a stall selling sugar again, thinking about the promise of small beans before leaving, Lin Yao put some osmanthus candy in it, and it cost a total of ten yuan.

Then he thought that he needed pork belly to make meat sauce, so he found a place to sell pork and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this pork belly?" ”

Seeing that it was a little girl dressed in tatters, the boss didn't dislike it, and said enthusiastically, "Fifteen dollars a catty, the little girl wants to have some?" ”

"Okay, two catties." There is also a pheasant given by Brother Xiao at home, so just buy some pork belly that is enough to make meat sauce.

Seeing a few pig bones next to the pork stall, Lin Yao pointed and said, "Boss, how do you sell this pig bone?" ”

Hearing this, the boss smiled and said, "If the little girl wants it, the uncle will give you two." As soon as he said this, Lin Yao remembered that in ancient times, pig bones were not worth much, and only when they were really hungry for meat and couldn't afford to buy meat, they would buy some pig bones back, and the boss generally watched customers buy meat as a fraction of it.

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Okay, then thank you boss." ”

After the boss quickly cut the meat, he put the two pig bones together and handed them to Lin Yao, who also handed him thirty yuan and left satisfied.

On the way, Lin Yao calculated, and now he still has nine taels of silver and six hundred and forty-seven wen left on his body, in addition to the five taels of silver to repay the contract, there is also a lot of rich silver.

After shopping for a while, Lin Yao also felt a little tired, so she planned to buy these things today, and then buy some other daily necessities when she came to town tomorrow.
