Chapter 13: The First Pot of Gold

Early in the morning, Shen Qiaoqiao prepared dry food for Shen Feiyang and the gray wolf. In fact, she wanted to bring Shen Feiyang with her, but she was afraid of encountering what happened last time, so she had to leave people at home and ask Aunt Xiuhe to help take care of them.

The ox cart was still full of smells, perhaps because of the hot weather, the smell was even stronger. However, Shen Qiaoqiao made preparations in advance this time, she put on a simple mask for herself before getting into the car, and when people asked, she said that she had been unwell recently.

To her surprise, no one squeezed her again this time. The ox cart, which was obviously overcrowded, learned that her body was itchy, and forced a semicircle around her, like an invisible barrier.

This made Shen Qiaoqiao regret it very much, why didn't he think of this trick earlier.

After wandering in the car for more than an hour, the group arrived at Shuanglu Town.

As on the previous occasion, as soon as the ox cart stopped, the women rushed to the market with large bags and small bags.

"You're not here to sell goods?" Old Zhang asked curiously.

Shen Qiaoqiao shook her head, took out a bottle of cherry sauce from the back basket and said, "I plan to sell it, but I haven't figured out who to sell it to." ”

Lao Zhangtou saw that the bottle was the one sent by Shen Feiyang some time ago, so he said, "This thing can go to the east teahouse." ”

The hierarchy of Dachu is clear, and the Shinong industry and commerce are arranged in turn. The common people live in the east and west, and the east and west districts are divided into commercial areas and living areas.

The eastern part of the city is the main gathering place of the town's wealthy families. Shen Qiaoqiao had thought about it before, but not to the teahouse.

Bidding farewell to Lao Zhangtou, Shen Qiaoqiao came to the east of the city with an attitude of trying. Wealthy families also have to buy things, although there are generally special channels to buy, but this is not hopeless.

If this road doesn't work, she goes to a restaurant and teahouse, but the price will be lower.

Shen Qiaoqiao walked back and forth in the alley in the east of the city, and there was a small door every 100 meters here, and from time to time there were small maids coming in and out.

She didn't know how long she had been waiting here, when suddenly a woman's voice came from not far away.

Shen Qiaoqiao hurriedly followed, and when the woman was about to leave after explaining to the little girl, she took a few steps forward to greet her.

"Mama Rong, please stay!"

When the woman heard the news, she saw that it was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in gray coarse cloth, and slightly white from washing. The appearance is delicate, the complexion is ruddy, not like the sallow face of ordinary poor children, especially the eyes, which are as clear and translucent as a baby, and are not stained by the world.

"The girl is ......"

Shen Qiaoqiao stepped forward and said politely: "I just heard the conversation between that little brother and you, and I hope that grandma will forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing!" ”

It's a person who knows the number of etiquette, Mama Rong secretly thought in her heart, and after looking at the person without disguise, she asked directly: "What does the girl have to say?" ”

There's a play! Shen Qiaoqiao was overjoyed, she took out the cherry sauce in the back basket and opened the lid.

A sweet fruity aroma that refreshes the heart. Mama Rong squinted slightly, quietly enjoying the faint fragrance.

"What kind of balm is this?" Mama Rong asked curiously.

Shen Qiaoqiao smiled, presented the bottle and said: "It's not a balm, please try it, this is a jam carefully developed by the little girl's family." This thing is expensive and laborious, and it is very rare. This kind of food, I think only people like Guifu can discern pearls. ”

"You girl has a sweet mouth."

After following her master for many years, Mama Rong thought that she had seen a lot of good things, but when she heard Shen Qiaoqiao's words, she was also curious. When he poured a drop of jam on his fingertips, his pupils shrank in the next second, and he secretly said in his heart that the fragrance just now was rare, but he didn't expect the color to be so good-looking, but he didn't know how it tasted.

Thinking of this, she pressed the surprise in her heart and savored it.

As soon as she entered, the woman's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on her face, "You wait here for a while." ”

Before Shen Qiaoqiao could respond, Mama Rong turned around and walked quickly into the small door.

It seems that she still underestimated the value of this jam, Shen Qiaoqiao waited for about a quarter of an hour, and a little girl with a double bun walked out of the door.

"This girl, our lady is invited!"

Shen Qiaoqiao was surprised, and followed the maid into the back door.

The maid led the way, and Shen Qiaoqiao followed closely, secretly typing the draft in her heart, how to answer when asked for a while.

Soon she was led to the flower hall, where a woman of about thirty years old was seated.

Shen Qiaoqiao raised her eyes to look at the woman, who was also looking at her. Looking at each other, Shen Qiaoqiao lowered her eyes slightly, leaned over and saluted.

"This jam tastes good, sweet but not greasy, and melts in your mouth. I don't know what kind of fruit it is made of? The woman asked with interest.

"Mrs. Hui, it's a cherry, and the people in the mountains call it a red fruit." Shen Qiaoqiao replied truthfully.

The woman nodded, and then asked where the family was, how many people they were, what they were doing, and so on.

Shen Qiaoqiao always had a polite smile on her face, and cooperated with the woman to investigate the household registration.

After a while, probably thinking that there was nothing more to ask, the woman took a small sip of the teacup.

Mama Rong stepped forward and said to Shen Qiaoqiao, "Girl, rest here for a while." ”

Shen Qiaoqiao, who thought that the woman was simply thirsty, reacted later, and followed Mama Rong to a side hall.

"Here are ten taels of silver." Mama Rong handed the purse in her hand to Shen Qiaoqiao, "Our lady said that if there is jam in the future, you can send it directly, and it is also the price of ten taels of silver a bottle, and the girl can give as much as she wants." ”

How many are sent, Shen Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, didn't she introduce it clearly just now?

"Mama, this jam can't be stored for a long time, it's better to be fresh, or ......"

Without waiting for Shen Qiaoqiao to finish speaking, Mama Rong sneered.

"You girl, others want to sell more, but you're worried that people will buy too much."

"Do you know where this is?" Mama Rong asked with a smile in her eyes.

Shen Qiaoqiao was stunned, she really didn't know. I've been wandering around the side door of the alley just now, but I didn't pay attention to what was written on the main door.

Mama Rong was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that Shen Qiaoqiao's expression did not seem to be fake, the smile in her eyes deepened and continued: "It's the Sun Mansion, and the master of our family is from a noble background. The Sun Ji grocery store in the town is the property of the house, in addition to the teahouse restaurant in our house, and there are also several shops in the county. Your jam, our wife has taken a fancy to it, and in the future, just make it and send it, and your benefits are indispensable! ”

So that's the case, Shen Qiaoqiao was happy in his heart, he was a blind cat and ran into a dead mouse, and it was a coincidence.

"Mama, I still have two bottles here, so I won't hand them over to you now. My home is really far from the town, and the next time I come here will be ten days away. ”

As soon as she heard this, Mama Rong hurriedly asked the little maid to fetch the silver, and also packed some pastries for Shen Qiaoqiao to take with her.

She had been standing beside her lady just now, and she also knew a thing or two about Shen Qiaoqiao's situation. Seeing that she was young but supported the burden of taking care of her younger brother and making money to support her family, she couldn't help but feel a little pity for the little girl in front of her.

Stepping out of the back door of the Sun Mansion, Shen Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought that I was unfamiliar with the place, and things didn't go so smoothly, but I didn't expect her to be possessed by koi, and the first grandmother she talked to successfully sold the jam.

touched the purse in her arms, this was the first pot of gold she earned when she came here.
