Such a large piece of jade, sent to a pawnshop in Yaoshan or a gold and jade jewelry shop, Xiao Qing thought that few would dare to accept it.

But the gold lock is different, this is only used by the nobles, there is an inscription behind the lock, although she does not recognize those words, but there are always people who know, a look at the word is an antiquity, now can be used directly as money, only those few gold bumps.

When the family had finished speaking, they all went out to do their own work.

Xiao Qing peeled the chestnuts with the Qin family in the morning, sorted the mushrooms, and cleaned them up, so she thought that she would lie down and go to grind dogwood noodles again, no matter what the business of the guest restaurant was, the chili powder noodles would definitely continue to sell, she still had to prepare more, she would be the only manufacturer of chili powder noodles in the future.

There were a lot of dried dogwood fruits left over from the previous year, and the day before yesterday she grinded some, and she poured out three or four catties of the remaining dogwood dried fruits, and after lying down for two moments, she got up and took them to the village entrance to grind dogwood noodles.

Dogwood flour to grind more than a pound, she poured the stone mill into the dried fruit of dogwood, began to grind, about two moments later, grinding almost enough, she took advantage of the noon approach, called out the small super system mall.

She saw that there were nearly 40,000 steps in the system panel, and she changed more than five catties of chili powder noodles, using more than 6,000 steps, and the number of steps was reduced to 40,000 steps left.

At this time, she heard a voice in the village, and saw Jiang Feng and his family, who were close to the entrance of the village, walking out with four children carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, and everyone walking towards her with bamboo baskets on their backs.

Xiao Qing saw that the dust was raised due to walking, she put away the chili powder noodles, quickly tied her mouth, and covered it with a burlap cloth and put it in the bamboo basket.

Du Shi saw her from a distance, laughed loudly and said, "Auntie, do you want to go to the mountains together?" ”

Xiao Qing knew that the road to the mountain from her door was relatively close, and it was not steep, and the mountain was fast, and they wanted to go to the mountain from their door.

"No, I still have work to do!"

As he spoke, Du Shi came to her, and saw the red residue on the stone mill, and knew what it was without guessing.

"Auntie, why don't you know how to live, you said you have so much energy, what are you doing grinding this dogwood? Your family has eaten white flour for selling dates, and even the lard and salt are willing to put it in the pot, why do you still eat such a bad thing! Du Shi spoke, and his feet did not stop.

Jiang Fenggang heard that Du Shi went home and said that the people of Lao Qiao's family at the head of the village actually sold winter dates and ate white flour and salt, and wild vegetables were also fried in lard, how could he not itch in his heart.

"Auntie, since you know that winter dates can be sold for money, why do you still pick this worthless thing, why don't you let Erjing go to the mountains with me to pick dates?" Jiang Feng said bluntly.

Xiao Qing put the bamboo basket on his back and said with a smile: "Erjing is making a bed, I'm afraid I won't have time to go, you can go!" ”

The husband and wife were talking, but neither of them stopped, and they walked away as they spoke.

Du Shi turned around and waved his hand: "Auntie, let's go first!" ”

Xiao Qing smiled and beckoned, looking at their anxious steps, for fear that it would be too late to go and the dates would be gone, she watched a few people go to the mountain, and then went home by herself.

She carried the bamboo basket home, and when she entered the house, Qiao Erjing had already replaced the rattan frame bed.

Xiao Qing saw that he was leaning against the big bed at the door, flat and sturdy, and couldn't help but want to lie down.

"Mother, you lie here first, and tomorrow I will go to the back woods to find some reeds and weave a straw mat for you, and it will be more comfortable to lie on it then." Qiao Erjing said.

Xiao Qing touched his rough bed, it was really good, although it was all wooden boards, it was more comfortable than a rattan frame bed to the touch, and it was quite comfortable to lay a layer of wheat straw first.

"Thank you Erjing, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good, and when it comes to winter, our family will build a big house, fill the house with a kang, and this bed will be changed to a couch at that time."

Build a big house?

Qiao Erjing smiled: "Mother, you sleep here first, there will be a chance to build a house later." ”

Build a big house in winter? What does my mother think? Although those golden bumps and white jade are worth a lot, with their family's current ability, it is not bad that the money can eat enough to survive this cold winter, and don't think about building a house for at least ten years.

During the great drought, it cost at least fifty or sixty taels of silver to build a house that was enough for their family to live in, not to mention the need to buy furniture and burn the kang.

Xiao Qing smiled when he saw Erjing, knowing that he thought he was dreaming, and there were still a few months before the beginning of winter, so he was not in a hurry.

Qiao Erjing changed the rattan frame bed into the house and renovated it to make the rattan frame less restless.

Outside, Xiao Qing spread a layer of straw on the wooden bed, and then lay down comfortably, which was much more comfortable than the rattan frame bed.

When the people in the house saw that the mother was lying down and was about to sleep, Qiao Erjing took the family out to get busy.

Xiao Qing fell asleep until noon when he was woken up by the neighing of horses.

Through these days, only this sleep is sleeping, and the rest of the sleep is lying down, not sleeping!

Just when Xiao Qing was in a daze, a thick middle-aged man's voice came from outside.

"Excuse me, does Xiao Qing's family live here?"

Qiao Erjing made a second bed in the courtyard, and saw that the person who came was wearing brocade and brocade clothes, and at first glance he was a rich man in the county, and he didn't know what to do with his mother, so he put down the file in his hand and came to the gate of the courtyard.

"My mother's name is Xiao Qing, who are you?"

When the middle-aged man heard that this was Xiao Qing's home, and heard this man say that his mother's name was Xiao Qing, he remembered that although the woman was fat, she didn't look like a person with such a big son.

He gestured with his hand to Xiao Qing's figure, and asked again with certainty: "Fellow, is your mother chubby, about this tall?" ”

Qiao Erjing saw that the person who came was polite, polite, and the appearance described was very similar, and there was only one mother in Yaoshan Village surnamed Xiao: "Yes, you are looking for my mother......"

"Erjing, this is the shopkeeper of the guest restaurant, let him come in and talk!" Xiao Qing walked out of the house.

She roughly calculated that if it was a good word for chili powder noodles, Shopkeeper Zhou would come to her at about this time.

When Zhou Chuan saw Xiao Qing, he walked in with a smile, and he hugged his fists and thanked her: "Sister Xiao!" ”

Xiao Qing hurriedly supported him to thank him, she couldn't afford it, how could she make such a big thank you gift as soon as she entered the courtyard.

"Shopkeeper Zhou can't help it, can't help it, how can my little woman be worshiped by your big shopkeeper, I can't help it!" Xiao Qing helped him up and invited him to sit on a small stool.

The two sat at the table, and Zhou Chuan sat opposite Xiao Qing, feeling quite excited.

After last night's tasting banquet, from the beginning of no one cared, to the end of the food was robbed, in the morning at the door of the restaurant there were people waiting to open the door, they came to Yaoshan County for two years, there have never been so many people waiting at the door of the restaurant, let alone so many diners, he looked, such a long line, is to line up at the gate of the city.

He roughly calculated the remaining dogwood noodles last night, which was only enough for fifteen tables, and he still couldn't put more of them, with a little taste, so after opening the door this morning, he would sit at fifteen tables first, and the rest of the people in line could only wait for them to come back in the evening.
