Chapter 47 Wool comes from sheep

Of course, the shopkeeper of Baimian also tried it, and after confirming the quality, he bought it at fifteen yuan a catty.

Five thousand catties of rice were sold for 100 taels, and five thousand catties of noodles were sold for 75 taels.

After leaving the city, Xi'er grinned, "It's still a fast way to get money, the shopkeeper said, give it away once every ten days, I'm afraid those rich people will buy a lot after eating, the rich will pass on the rich, and in the future they will buy it." The noodles will be in short supply.

As soon as the warehouse was built, she moved the rice noodles there and asked the shopkeeper to send someone to pull them, but she had no time to deliver them.

To be rich is to be down-to-earth. She bought two fat fish in the town. Ever since she made fish meatballs for Mrs. Luo last time, she has fallen in love with this one.

I bought another white-striped chicken and planned to go home and cook a few dishes to improve my life. She was too busy during this time, so she didn't cook well for her family.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got home, I saw the fat shopkeeper waiting for me in the living room with a wicked smile on his face.

"Yo, girl, you are back"

"Is something wrong?"

"Ah, there is something, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you"

Mrs. Luo quickly poured her a bowl of water, "Drink first, I must be thirsty after going out for so long, shopkeeper Xu has been waiting for you here for a long time."

Xi'er took it, drank it in one gulp, and then sat down to talk to him.

"If you have something to say, just say it"

"What can I do? It's just a matter of vegetables. Have the vegetables in your greenhouse grown well?"

"No, I have to wait a month"

"Then do you have any more food?"

"Yes, I kept it for myself to eat."

"Can you sell me some dishes? My restaurant's business has declined again because there are no dishes that attract customers."

"What's the matter with me?"

"Can't I give you a high price?"

"Tell me, why is the price so high?"

"It's twice as expensive as the vegetables you sent in spring, isn't it okay?"

"That's what you said"

"Ah, what I said, you don't have a saying that the wool comes from the sheep, you are expensive, and the dishes made by my cook are also expensive."

"How's that dish of spicy fatty fish selling?"

As soon as this was mentioned, the shopkeeper smiled modestly, "It's okay, many customers order that dish when they come."

"How about it, I'll start delivering food to you tomorrow morning, how about it?"

"It's a deal"

"Well, just get the money ready."

The shopkeeper was about to leave when he saw the fish and chicken in her basket, "What are you going to cook?"

“Fish Sixi meatballs, and chicken nuggets with sauce”

The fat shopkeeper's eyes rolled, and he smiled slyly, "Can I stay and have a taste?"

Xi'er stared at him, "Isn't the restaurant inseparable from you?"

"Who said, without your food, there are a lot fewer people, so I just stay here to taste your craftsmanship"

Xi'er ignored him, picked up the basket and went to the kitchen, just at that moment when Ji Kang came home from school, Mrs. Luo hurriedly asked him to talk with shopkeeper Xu, and she went to the kitchen to help her daughter light the fire.

"You started delivering food to him this spring?"

"Yeah, the vegetables in the south grow faster than those in the north, so I bought vegetables from the south and sold them to him at a high price."

"Oh, what did I say, and the flour too?"

"Naturally, otherwise I can transform it."

"You are a girl who is away from home, so be careful."

"Don't worry, people like me, they have nothing to lose except robbery. Anyone who does business depends on luck, and my luck is good."

"When Kang'er's leg recovers, I will take him with me when I go out."

"good mother"

She never refuted Mrs. Luo, knowing that she cared about herself, and it was too late for her to be grateful for such concern.

For dinner, one chicken nugget with sauce, one fish meatball, one vegetarian three delicacies, one scrambled eggs with red fruit, one fried bacon with garlic sprouts, and one fried shredded pork with chives.

Seeing those vegetables, the shopkeeper's eyes were red, "Keep the restaurant that sold it to me."

Xi'er shot him a sideways look, "Yesterday, my family can't eat vegetables anymore?"

"No, no, I'm used to it, I get red eyes when I see food"

"Don't worry, I still have a lot of vegetables here. Your restaurant won't use much. The vegetables sold in my field are ripe enough for you, but you must make an agreement in advance. You can no longer sell vegetables to customers like you do in spring."

"Hey, no, no," the shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.

The whole meal was finished, and the shopkeeper still didn't leave, Xi'er frowned and made a face.

"Have you taken a fancy to my recipe again?"

"Know me, little girl too"

"Ten taels of silver for a recipe, the same price"

"It's not too much, I'll give it to you"

After Xi'er finished writing the recipe, the fat shopkeeper took out two ten taels of silver bills from his pocket, put them lightly on the table, quickly took away the two prescriptions, got up and cupped his hands in success, and left Luo's house quickly after saying goodbye.

As soon as the people left, Mrs. Luo said to her, "Why do you talk to the guests like that, it's not polite!"

"That's how he is happy. If you flatter him, he still doesn't know how to curl his tail."

"You, you have a sweet mouth when you are happy, and you scratch whoever provokes you when you are unhappy! There is really nothing you can do about it."

"Mom, you don't understand, I'm not really angry, he, I just like talking to him like this, so he feels very comfortable"

"Oh, old lady, I really don't understand these human relations."

Xi'er handed her the two bank notes: "Take the bank notes. If you have nothing to do, you can go around the town and buy whatever you want."

"I don't want it, I didn't move what you gave me"

"Just hold it, hold it, every time we do this, it's like we're at war"

Ji Kang, who sent the fat shopkeeper back, entered the room and shared his nostrils with Xi'er.

"Mother, Xi'er just take it if you tell me to. Why are you being polite to the family? I'm not being polite to her."

Mrs. Luo sized them up for a while before putting away the banknotes.

"That's fine, then I'll take it and buy things for you when you get married."

Ji Kang blushed, and smiled at Mrs. Luo, "That's a good idea, I support you"

Xi'er glanced at Ji Kang, "Brother, I don't need to boil the water today. I won't wash it. I wash it every day, and the skin has peeled off. If you want to boil water for me, you can do it once every three days."

"Okay, but you have to soak your feet, you are so tired every day"

"You don't need to soak your feet"

"OK then"

Ji Kang was a little disappointed not to let the water boil, "Then what am I going to do in my spare time?"

"Reading, here, this is the book I bought in the county seat, please read it carefully"

She took out three books from her bosom and handed them to him. Ji Kang took a look and immediately became happy.

"Ah, I haven't read any of these books. I heard from the master that they are all very famous books."

"This is a manuscript, we cannot afford the original book"

"It's already very good, my brother is going to read a book."

"Um"

As soon as he left, Xi'er took out another cloth bag from her bosom, "Mom, this is for you"

"What?"

"Balsam, it's winter, you can just wipe your face and hands, it's very fragrant, and your skin will be tender after you wipe it on."

"Why do you spend money on this? It's expensive."

"Our family is rich, so we have to take good care of our skin. You can just hold it. By the way, after dinner, don't just lie down on the kang, walk around the house, at least a quarter of an hour."

"understood"

"Then I'll go back to the room and record the account and go to bed."

Xi'er went back to the house and slammed the door hard, "Hmph, let me boil the bath water for me, and buy a few books to cure you. Every time I go to the county town, I will buy you a few books and come back to make me feel better." You don't have time for me"

In fact, she didn't know that Ji Kang had already entered her heart before she knew it.

Early the next morning, Lao Ma and his son came to fetch pickles and sugar, and her pickled pickles, spicy cabbage, garlic sauce, and spicy dried radish were all ready to go out of the vat.

I didn't give them too much. I also put a small jar in a car for them, and each jar weighed ten catties.

"Uncle Ma, Brother Ma, sell it first, if it works, I'll bring you some more tomorrow."

"Hey, hey, what you do is sure to work, if not, we have to make it work"

"Haha" made everyone laugh.
