Chapter 120: Go to Liu's house to sell melons
After buying pharmaceutical equipment for Yi Yutang, it was already noon.
Yi Mingxue simply took two small radish heads and ordered three bowls of wontons at the market stall.
The soup made from large bones is fresh and thick.
Two small diced radishes were buried in the bowl, and they were sluggling and drinking, looking really hungry.
Yi Tianlei looked around while drinking.
couldn't help but worry: "Eldest sister, do you think we're late?" I don't see any vacancies, can we sell all the watermelons today? ”
Hearing that he was worried that the watermelon would not be sold, Yi Mingxue couldn't help laughing.
She lightly buttoned the table and said calmly: "Don't worry, we don't sell it here." ”
She had just taken the time to take a look.
Although the market is bustling with people and seems to be bustling, most of them are dressed in coarse linen clothes.
And now the price of watermelons is expensive, and if she wants to consume the watermelons in her melon field, she doesn't know that she will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
She didn't intend to use the stupid method of retail sales in the first place.
Afraid that they would not be full, Yi Mingxue asked, "Do you want another bowl?" ”
"No, no." Yi Tianlei shook his head again and again, wiped his mouth and urged, "Eldest sister, we are all full, let's go sell watermelons." ”
Yi Mingxue nodded, and after paying the money, she went straight to the house of Liu Yuanwai, the richest man in Fengyun Town.
From afar, Yi Mingxue saw the Liu family's lanterns.
The short guys went in and out, and they looked beaming.
As soon as she saw her, the little girl who brought her into Liu's Mansion last time smiled on her face: "Yo, Miss Yi, what kind of fresh goods did you bring here this time?" Yesterday our lord was still muttering, if only we could fight another wild wolf. ”
Yi Mingxue took out a watermelon and said with a smile: "There are no wild wolves this time, but I planted a few acres of watermelons, and I thought of Liu Yuanwai for the first harvest of the first crop, so I personally sent it to him." ”
The green watermelon looks very cute.
Especially in such a big winter, it's really a rarity.
The little guy was happy on his face: "This, this is a good thing!" ”
With that, he went back to the house to report as soon as he smoked.
Within a moment, he rushed out again and welcomed Yi Mingxue's sisters and brothers.
Before he arrived at the main hall, Liu Yuanwai came out in a hurry, and the fat on his face shook with joy.
Seeing the watermelon in Yi Mingxue's arms, Liu Yuanwai immediately straightened his eyes, "It's really a watermelon, it's the first time I've seen a watermelon in winter." ”
He was ecstatic, and repeatedly praised Yi Mingxue as his lucky star.
Yi Mingxue didn't show it on her face, but she actually had a plan in her heart.
She had already inquired when she came last time, and Liu Yuanwai's concubine was about to give birth soon.
Pushing down the time, I'm afraid it's just the day to hold a full moon wine.
Sure enough.
Liu Yuanwai's happy Chong Yi Mingxue talked about the joy of having a son when he was old.
His precious concubine gave birth to a son for him, and he naturally wanted to make a big deal.
Not only the wealthy families near and far, but even some officials and masters in the county who were good friends with him had to be invited.
But then he was troubled again.
He is not short of silver taels, but these relatives and friends of his are not short of ordinary food.
Just when he was at a loss.
Yi Mingxue actually sent watermelon!
This watermelon is an exotic variety, which is already rare and difficult to grow.
The watermelon in winter is even more unique!
He didn't think about it, so he clapped his hand and said: "I want your watermelon, you can send me a car tomorrow, how about the price is fifty yuan a catty?" I have also eaten watermelon, the skin is thick and small, mainly because it is rare. ”
This price is not low for ordinary foreign melons on the market.
But Yi Mingxue is not selling ordinary watermelons.
She didn't speak. The wrist of his right hand was flipped over, and the Xuantie blade rose and fell.
The silver light flashed, and the round watermelon was cut open by her knife.
The sweet fragrance comes to your nose.
The juice even splashed on Liu Yuan's outer lips, and he licked it unconsciously.
Yi Mingxue pointed to the bright red melon bag and said: "Liu Yuanwai, my watermelon is different from ordinary melons, and it's not too late for you to try it first and then quote the price." ”
Liu Yuanwai took out a piece of the letter suspiciously and put it in his mouth.
For a moment, he had only one feeling.
Sweet! It's so sweet!
Seeing Liu Yuanwai's enjoyment, his eyes narrowed.
Yi Mingxue smiled at this time, and quoted her price categorically, "Eighty wen a catty, no bargaining!" ”
"Eighty Wen!!" The little guy on the side gasped.
Even the two brothers Yi Tianlei and Yi Yutang on the side.
He also showed a surprised expression.
No matter how rare this thing is, it can't be the same price as wolf meat.
Yi Mingxue looked at Liu Yuanwai, who was a little hesitant, and continued.
"Don't worry, before you finish the full moon wine at the house. The entire Fengyun Town, no, the entire Huzhou County, will not have watermelons. ”
This sentence is like a reassuring pill.
Liu Yuanwai is not short of these dozens of taels of silver, what he needs more is face.
Sure enough, just when everyone thought that Liu Yuanwai would refuse.
He actually agreed.
"Okay, I want five hundred pounds! I'll pick it up myself in a few days. ”
Things went so well.
was so shocked that Yi Tianlei and Yi Yutang couldn't close their jaws.
After the matter was negotiated, Yi Mingxue said goodbye to Liu Yuanwai and prepared to go home.
The three siblings had just left the main hall and turned into a cloister.
I heard a crisp slap.
"You think I'm a good character, every day it's either porridge or vegetables, and my mouth fades out of the bird! Egg custard is a precious thing, let you bring me a bowl, you dare to push back! ”
The person who spoke was domineering, and Yi Mingxue recognized it at a glance.
It is the maid of Liu Yuanwai's concubine, Li Chunlan's sister Li Chunxiang.
But she's very different.
A woman's hair was combed on her head, and the gray maid's clothes were replaced by bright skirts.
The eyebrows and eyes were full of pride and arrogance, and a handkerchief was almost thrown into the face.
The little maid who had just been slapped by her covered her face and stood aside.
It was another woman who looked like a cook, pouting and explaining without being salty.
"Miss Li, it's really not that we shirk it, the eggs are all for my aunt and the little son, where is your share?"
There was sarcasm in the eyes of the cook who spoke.
It's just a cheap hoof who climbs the bed, and he is yelling in the yard before he lifts his aunt.
The eldest lady is deliberately trying to clean her up, and she doesn't know how to restrain herself.
Li Chunxiang was angry in her heart.
At the risk of offending his aunt, he climbed into the master's bed.
But now the lord doesn't mention her as a concubine at all, and the eldest lady still secretly deducts her food and clothing.
It's good now, even the kitchen people have bullied her.
I'm nesting in a belly with nowhere to vent.
Li Chunxiang turned her head and saw Yi Mingxue and her brother and sister on the side.
There was a suffocating look on her face, and then she changed to a sneering expression.
"Yo, isn't this my sister's good 'best friend' Yi Daya? Why do you want to come to our Liu family to fight the autumn breeze again? ”
Seeing that Yi Mingxue didn't pay attention to her, she immediately changed her voice again.
"But I also want to thank you, otherwise how could I have the comfortable days of eating and drinking spicy food now? Look, this is the jade bracelet that the lord rewarded me. I'm afraid you can't afford such a good thing for the rest of your life, right?! ”
As she spoke, she lifted her sleeves to reveal an emerald jade bracelet.
She originally thought that Yi Mingxue would show envy and regret.
Unexpectedly, Yi Mingxue didn't care about it at all.
She glanced lazily and sneered: "The color is turbid, there are many cracks, and the inferior leftovers are estimated to be worth two or three taels." ”
"You!" Li Chunxiang's eyes widened angrily.
She works as a maid in Liu's family, and her monthly income is only 200 wen a month, and two or three taels is her income for a year.
That's it, it's still a good errand that Fengyun Town can't ask for.
There was an endless stream of people who wanted to find her way.
I didn't expect Yi Mingxue's tone to be so big, and what she said was not the same at all.
She was shocked in her heart, didn't Li Chunlan say that the Yi family was so poor that the roof was leaking, and even a mouse was unwilling to patronize it?
"You just pretend, who doesn't know that you are jealous that your second sister doesn't want to send her to Liu's house to live a good life, but instead sends people to the kiln. I really can't see it, Yi Daya, your heart is really black. ”
Unexpectedly, she said this.
It reminded Yi Mingxue that the two sisters of the Li family wanted to harm Yi Qingqing before.
Angry, she snorted coldly on the spot and countered, "Good day? A good day when you crawl into someone's bed and can't even eat an egg? ”
Seeing that Li Chunlan was already angry, her face turned pale.
Yi Mingxue stretched her voice again, and said deliberately: "This kind of good day when no one takes you seriously, it's better for you to keep it and enjoy it!" ”
Li Chunxiang's veil is about to be torn.
Her fingers trembled with anger and she began to ramble wildly.
"Good! You can't even look down on the aunt of the Liu family, I want to see what kind of family you can find for Yi Qingqing. With a sister like you, I'm afraid she can only marry a farmer and be a cow and a horse every day! ”
Yi Mingxue really didn't bother to wake up such a fool.
"Then you have to live a little longer, otherwise how can you watch my second sister marry a wishful husband in a beautiful way, and live a really good life as you wish!"
After speaking, she stopped talking nonsense with Li Chunxiang.
He turned around and pulled his two younger brothers and left.
Although she only met once or twice, she can see Li Chunxiang's situation in the Liu family clearly.
not only offended the eldest wife, but also offended the aunt who was rightfully favored.
She is still fighting for a bowl of egg custard, madly offending her subordinates and pulling hatred.
Come to think of it, you don't need to do it yourself at all.
Soon, someone will clean her up.
