"Oh, Mrs. Xi, why are you still following us to feed chickens, ducks and geese?"

Zhao Juan smiled and quipped: "I heard that the tiles on the tile kiln were sold all over yesterday and made a lot of money, right?" Your family doesn't need you to work now, hurry back to the house to rest, and find two maids to serve and enjoy the blessings! ”

Hu Juhua happily agreed: "Sister-in-law is right, if other people's families had your income, they would have found a few maids to serve at home, why do you still do such rough work with us?" Look at you now white and fat, this skin is so tender that you can pinch out water, what are you doing with us? ”

Chi Xi was teased by these two people, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "No matter how much money you earn, it's all in your own pocket, if you invite a few more people, won't you have to spend it?" Anyway, I have nothing to do when I'm idle, and I can save some money by working with my aunts. ”

As soon as Chixi's words came out, he was teased again, and everyone fed the chickens, ducks and geese with laughter.

These chickens, ducks and geese eat a lot, grow fast, round one by one, and look at them pleasingly.

Tian Cuihe is also not ambiguous, every day she either stews chicken or duck for Chixi, and from time to time she has to add some nourishing herbs to let her nourish her body.

Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, the output and business on the tile kiln have been very stable.

Chi Xi calculated that she could earn almost one hundred and twenty or thirty taels of silver a day, and the chickens, ducks and geese raised by the family also began to sell in the past few days.

Early in the morning, Chixi took Zhao Juan, Hu Juhua and others, and then called a big man who could drive a carriage to take chickens, ducks and geese to the town.

Many people in the town know Chi Xi and are her old customers, and now they can't help but come forward to chat with Chi Xi when they see Chi Xi bringing energetic and chubby chickens, ducks and geese to sell.

"Hey, Mrs. Xi, the chickens, ducks and geese in your house have been raised, and the coat color looks really good, how can you sell them?"

"Sister-in-law, chickens and ducks are both 12 wen a catty, and geese are 15 wen. The price is affordable, do you want one? ”

Other people's chickens and ducks are sold for fifteen wen a catty, and the goose is eighteen wen, and the price of Chixi is directly one catty less than others!

And the chickens, ducks and geese she sells look better, and the taste is good.

Everyone rushed up, and in the morning, all the chickens, ducks and geese brought by Chixi were sold out.

Zhao Juan was amazed: "These people are too enthusiastic, they almost squeezed me out just now, our business is really good, hundreds of chickens, ducks and geese add up, and they are all sold out so quickly." ”

Not only that, Chixi also let out the word, as long as the people who came to buy chickens, ducks and geese in person, one would charge less than the ones they sent to the town to sell!

Chixi took Hu Juhua and Zhao Juan to buy some incense wax paper candles needed for the New Year in the town, and bought some melon and fruit cakes before driving the carriage home.

The other sellers who were originally very angry with Chixi's unruly behavior by opening a low price to grab business, but after learning that they could save a penny for a pound of chickens, ducks and geese at Xi's house, their hearts warmed up.

In this way, if they go to buy the Xi family's chickens, ducks and geese to sell in the market, wouldn't they be able to earn four cents a pound?

Seven or eight catties of a chicken, wouldn't that be able to earn thirty wen?

Not to mention ducks and geese!

In the afternoon of the same day, several perennial sellers of chickens, ducks and geese met at the door of Xi's house, they looked at each other, their eyes were full of fear, and then they rushed up, striving to be at the forefront!

Zhao Juan had never seen such a posture, her eyes widened in shock, and she muttered: "If I didn't know that they were here to buy chickens, ducks and geese, I thought they wanted to rob!" ”

Chi Xi smiled and invited all the people into the house, politely poured hot tea for everyone, and said with a smile, "I welcome you to come today." I have 3,800 chickens, 2,600 ducks, and 4,300 geese. I can meet the quantity you want to buy, so you don't have to compete! ”

In addition to chickens, ducks and geese, the chickens, ducks and geese they bought from Chixi have to grab business when they sell them!

Their faces turned red, but it was not easy for them to say it clearly.

Chi Xi saw that their faces were not very good-looking, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about sales, my chickens, ducks and geese are delicious, have excellent taste, and beautiful coat color, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell." You don't have to block all the streets in the town to sell, walk through the streets and alleys, or scatter to various places and take them to the county seat to buy, and no one will compete with you for business. ”

As soon as Chi Xi's words came out, everyone raised their eyebrows, and one of them couldn't wait to say out: "Mrs. Xi, if I remember correctly, your family used to sell a lot of chickens, ducks and geese seedlings to the county seat Fang Yuanwai's house, their family has always been domineering, if we take the chickens, ducks and geese to the county seat to sell, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." ”

If you take our chickens, ducks and geese to sell in the county, so that those ordinary people can also eat the chickens, ducks and geese at a high price to eat chickens, ducks and geese, is it better to sell them?"

Chi Xi nodded, smiled and said, "I'm just a woman's family, how to do it, you can decide for yourself." ”

Everyone was enlightened, and their minds were instantly opened.

They happily set the number of chickens, ducks and geese with Chixi, and after paying the fixed money, they took a batch of chickens, ducks and geese one by one and hurried away, and they had to do business early tomorrow!

"You sold all these chickens, ducks and geese in a few words?"

Zhao Juan and Hu Juhua were deeply shocked in their hearts, and their eyes were about to pop out when they stared at Chixi, as if they knew this person for the first time.

Chi Xi smiled, her eyes were bright, and her eyes flashed with bright brilliance, she smiled and said, "Our main product is a good quality and preferential price, they originally thought that I was going to steal business from them and were dissatisfied with me, but if I send the business to them, they will be grateful to me." ”

Naturally, she doesn't need other people's gratitude to her, but it is too much trouble to sell so many chickens, ducks and geese in the traditional way.

It's better to attract these people who have been doing chicken, duck and goose business all year round, so that they can easily earn money and establish a good coexistence relationship with them, so why not?

"Chixi, you are really too capable, I have never seen a woman as capable as you!"

Zhao Juan sincerely felt that Chixi was really amazing, and she had earned a lot of silver in just one day, if it had been placed before, they wouldn't even dare to dream, but Chixi really did it.

Tian Cuihe stewed the chicken, walked over and heard Zhao Juan's words, so he smiled and said, "Don't say you haven't seen it, I've lived for so many years, and I rarely see such a capable woman as my family's creek." My family is strong enough to marry such a good daughter-in-law, it is really a high incense in the last life. ”

Chi Xi was praised so much that his face blushed, and he smiled shyly: "Mother, don't tease me." You have a lot of knowledge, and you have seen more capable people, I don't dare to take Joe. ”

"You girl, you are telling the truth for your mother."

Tian Cuihe used to like Chixi from the bottom of her heart, but now she admires her from the bottom of her heart.

Tian Cuihe was born noble, married to the marquis who had great military achievements, and her sister was still the imperial concubine of the first emperor, what noble woman had she not seen?

But no matter how noble those women are, no matter how great their abilities are, they are all full of conspiracy and calculations, where is Chixi so bright and refreshing?

In the evening, after everyone left, Chixi and Tian Cuihua carefully counted the income from selling chickens, ducks and geese today, which was as much as five hundred and thirty taels of silver!

Chi Xi suspected that he had counted wrongly, so he counted again, and after making sure that there was no mistake, he laughed: "Mother, now our income is not low, if we expand the scale and hire more people to help, we will definitely be able to earn more!" ”

Tian Cuihe was also happy in her heart, but she was more concerned about Chixi's body, so she reminded with a smile: "Xiaoxi, you are a double body now, don't be too tired because of earning money." ”

Ikexi didn't feel tired at all, but felt very fulfilled.

Because as soon as she stopped, her mind would think of her father-in-law, which was really difficult.

It's better to spend her mind on earning money, and she can take it out without hesitation when her husband needs it.

"Mother, I know in my heart, I have eaten a lot during this time, and my face has gained weight. Even my aunt laughed at me for being chubby for nothing, and the child in my belly was also healthy. ”

Tian Cuihe was not worried about Chixi, and every ten days he had to ask Shi Langzhong to come to the door to check Chixi's pulse, and some people saw Shi Langzhong entering and leaving Xi's house, and seeing that no one in the Xi family was sick, they guessed whether Chixi was pregnant.

Zhao Juan stared at Chi Xi's flat abdomen from time to time early in the morning, and carefully observed her increasingly round little face, but Chi Xi didn't see it.

Until noon, Zhao Juan couldn't help it, leaned to Chixi's side, and asked quietly: "Xiaoxi, people in the village are rumoring that you are pregnant, is it true?" ”
