Chapter Ninety-One: Looking for Someone
"What's yelling? Get the hell out of here! I said don't you understand if you don't eat or eat? Miss Tang sat in front of the dresser and shouted righteously.
"Xiaoying, what are you doing? Don't you know if Miss is angry? How dare you yell like this? ”
The little girl who was waiting for the young lady next to her saw the little sister like this, and quickly pulled the person to prevent her from coming forward.
But the little maid Xiaoying before didn't care, and continued to speak, "Miss, aren't you worried that you won't have anything to show off at the banquet for a while?" Look, there's it! This halva is really delicious! You'll know if you taste it! ”
Miss Tang is actually only seven years old, and she has five older brothers, so she is particularly favored in the house.
Every time there is a banquet, those young ladies who are the same age as her always have something to show off, but at this banquet, the old lady did not bring anything special to the young lady, which made the young lady angry and lost her temper early in the morning.
"What do you say? Isn't it special? Miss Tang turned to look at her little maid.
"Miss, you can try it first, it's really delicious, anyway, the slave maid has never seen this called halva in the dim sum shop in the town! And it's a new dim sum shop! ”
At this time, Miss Tang became a little interested, put away some anger, took the halva from Xiaoying's hand, looked at it for a while and put it in her mouth.
After a while, her eyes lit up, she quickly chewed the halva in her mouth, and asked Xiaoying to call the halva seller in.
In this way, Xia Qiyue successfully entered the eldest lady's room.
"You say you can't buy this thing anywhere else?" Miss Tang glanced at Xia Qiyue's basket with a strong look, and couldn't help but want to eat.
"Yes, I made this halva, this is the first time I have come out to sell it, and I can't find it anywhere else!"
Xia Qiyue told the truth.
"Good! How many do you have? I bought them all! "There is no anger in the world of children that candy can't soothe, even for the eldest lady.
Xia Qiyue listened to the music, this is no longer necessary to go to other houses to sell, all of a sudden it was sold?
"Miss, my halva is very expensive!" Xia Qiyue pretended to be a little hesitant to speak, which instead aroused Miss Tang's desire to buy.
"It's not expensive, Miss Ben doesn't buy it yet! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up! I'll use it for a banquet in a while! ”
Banquet?
Xia Qiyue's heart was full of alarm bells, and many people would participate in the banquet, so she could make a good advertisement for her halva when the time came.
"Okay, Miss Tang is refreshing, I have nine catties of halva here, it's really not easy to make, so I can make these nine catties, you see? Do you want to? ”
As soon as she heard that it was nine pounds, Miss Tang was even happier, what she wanted was this effect, and others couldn't buy her before she could take it out and show off.
"Yes! It's all there! How much silver you tell her! After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiaoying.
"This halva is two taels of silver for a pound..."Xia Qiyue's voice was a little quieter, so he looked at Xiaoying as embarrassed.
"Two taels of silver is not expensive, our young lady loves to eat is the most important!" Xiaoying is not as calm as she seems, what she said.
"Go and get the money!" Miss Tang waved her hand, feeling that it was really not a lot of money.
Xia Qiyue regretted it a little now, she originally priced it at one or two silvers, but looking at the eldest lady in front of her, she doubled the price when she sat on the ground, but she felt that it was less.
"Miss, half of my halva is still outside, I'll go out and get it, and I'll be back soon!"
Saying that, after waiting for Miss Tang to nod, she went out, and walked out of the back door of the Tang Mansion for a while, and after the gatekeeper couldn't see it, she took out all the remaining halva and carried it into the house.
By the time she came out with eighteen taels of silver, it was already ten minutes later.
Xia Qiyue walked on the street with a smile on his face and held eighteen taels of silver, and today's task of selling halva was completed exceptionally smoothly.
The price has risen so much that it has simply jumped into the high-end market, and the little people are luxuriant.
However, this is not a necessity, and she has no psychological burden at all to sell it at such a high price.
When I walked to the market, I saw that my second uncle Xia Quan and my second aunt Xia Wu were looking for people everywhere.
Fortunately, she disguised herself and didn't recognize her head-on.
Xia Qiyue looked at it for a while, and when she saw the two of them, she asked, and she was ashamed to say that her child was lost and was looking for it.
Fortunately, they rarely wandered around the market, and no one knew them, and she came out in disguise.
"Xia Lao Er, where did you say those cheap hooves went? We can't get close to the people of Shanbei Zhuangzi, and now we can't find it here, what should we do? Xia Wu complained a little dejectedly, and did not forget to scold them for being cheap hooves.
"How do I know? Did my father and mother read it wrong? Otherwise, how could you not find it? Xia Lao Er also opened his mouth with a headache.
Both of them haven't eaten food for a long time, and they are all wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, or they are just things that the old couple begged for, either glutinous rice or steamed buns.
"Are you stupid? I forgot what Liu Mei said, the girl in July is now a rich person, what did she sell to earn a thousand taels of silver, and the bracelet of my sister-in-law, it should be the stuff of our old Xia family, how can I let those cheap hooves be sold? No, hurry up and find someone, I have to get all the money! ”
Xia Wu suddenly had strength again, yes, and pushed Xia Lao Er forward.
"Liu Mei..." is Liu Mei again, I originally wanted to just forget it, and not to be entangled with those strange things.
Xia Qiyue gritted his teeth and stood in the bazaar, scolding Liu Mei's ancestors countless times for the eighteenth generation, feeling that it was useless to scold here, so he walked home.
I have to sell tea eggs for a while, it's important to earn money, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with those guys.
On the patriarch's side, after the town guard finished giving porridge, Wang An asked his four sons to cut wicker borders, and he also went into the city to buy a lot of rags and came back, as well as needles and threads.
The patriarch couldn't figure out what this old tiger lady was going to do, spending money indiscriminately.
"Mother, what can you do with these rag heads? Why don't you buy me two tea eggs to eat, and the child can also replenish nutrition! Liu Jiajia pouted and was full of displeasure.
"You kid, it's enough for you to eat every day, so how expensive are the tea and eggs, don't you know if you don't have any silver at home now?" An Wang's kung fu of threading the needle and thread raised his head and reprimanded his daughter-in-law.
The daughter-in-law here is becoming more and more ignorant, and no matter what the situation is at home, she has been arguing to eat this and that.
Youde gave her half of the big bread every day, and shouted that it was not enough to eat, and she didn't see any pregnant woman like this.
"This is your old An's grandson! You don't take it to heart, is that me eating? It's your eldest grandson eating! Liu Jiajia pulled out that set of rhetoric again to make a fuss.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and help me sew a few flowers, and they will decorate the basket after they finish weaving it!" An Wangshi was almost tired of listening, and waved his hand and didn't want to talk to Liu Jiajia.
"Got it... Don't let pregnant women rest, it's this and that all day long..."Liu Jiajia muttered in her mouth, but still picked up the needle and thread and began to tinker.
Babies, give me a reaction? It's up to you to get votes and comments
