I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 20

Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Qian suddenly felt wronged.

Obviously she can cook, so why not let her do it?
Ning Pengpeng didn't have the time to pay attention to how sad Qian was. Thinking about what she ordered her cheap daughter to do the day before yesterday, it's been two days, so naturally she has to check the work she assigned, how is Ning Youxi doing? up.

These two days, Ning Youxi was like a quail, not daring to stand up in front of his mother.

The only time I went out to catch my breath was when she wasn't around.

But two days passed, and all ten fingers were pricked with pinholes, and the flowers that should be embroidered on the handkerchief were crooked.

So, when Ning Pengpeng pushed the door and came in, Ning Youxi almost jumped up from the chair in fright.

It's really the fact that my mother said seriously that day that I want my brothers to put me on a hanging rope, it's too scary!
"Is this the flower you embroidered?"

Ning Pengpeng picked up the embroidery frame, looked at the orchid grass embroidered on the stuck handkerchief, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Is this orchid grass?

This is a pile of bird shit, right?

The pitch-black thread lay on the veil like a caterpillar in a random way.

"Mom, I was wrong. I don't dare to steal vegetables anymore, so please forgive me! Look at my fingers, they are full of needle holes. I really can't embroider well."

Ning Youxi showed Ning Pengpeng ten fingers, with a crying expression on his face.

"It's really not a lady's life."

Ning Pengpeng nodded, since she can't be a lady, then do something else!

Then Ning Youxi was dumbfounded, looking at the sack of beans in front of him.

"Pick... pick up beans?"

"Yes, I know that there are no stones in my own beans. Who can guarantee that there are no stones in the beans collected by your third brother? We are making food. If customers bite into stones or sand Things, after all, are not very good.

Just right, you really can't embroider flowers!In this case, let's pick up beans.

Remember, if I check that there are stones in the beans you picked up, then I will deduct a penny from your dowry.

If you can cleanly pick up a sack, you can get as much wages as your third brother and the others earn every day.

Whether to deduct your dowry money or earn money to add makeup to yourself, it’s up to you to choose! "

Ning Youxi was shocked by what his mother said. If he couldn't do a good job, he would have to deduct the money. How could this happen?

"Mother, am I still your own?"

Seeing her little daughter Buyi stomping her feet, Ning Pengpeng had a toothache, and said after staring at her with disgust.

"If you didn't know that you are my own, do you think I would give you this chance to earn dowry money? Ning Youxi, let me tell you, don't think about being lazy, fooling around, and not picking up beans.

Otherwise, give it a try and see if I will do what I say. "

Ning Pengpeng turned around and left the house. Today, she had to make all the cakes to be sold tomorrow. She didn't have the time to talk to this girl who was not very flexible.

For more than ten days in a row, the ten catties of brown sugar in the Liu family's grocery store had been bought by Ning Laosan without mentioning it. Ning Laosan even made a special trip to Fengzhen. The grocery store in Fengzhen The brown sugar in the shop was also bought clean.

Ning Lao San and Ning Lao Si are two people in the town, one sells and the other collects money. They can earn more than one or two taels of silver every day.

After more than ten days, Ning Pengpeng has 16 taels of silver in his hands.

Not including the five catties of brown sugar left at home, hundreds of catties of beans and one hundred catties of glutinous rice.

Those beans and glutinous rice were collected by Ning Pengpeng from the people in the village along the way when Ning Laosan asked Ning Laosan to go to Fengzhen.

The price was even cheaper than that of Dahuaishu Village, so Ning Laosan confiscated all of them and charged too much.

In Ning's opinion, anyway, these beans can be eaten by themselves even if they don't make pastries, and it doesn't matter if they charge more.

Ning Pengpeng began to reduce the number of pastries when it was sold for No. 20 days.

"Mother, the business is so good, why don't you sell more?"

Third Ning's eyes are almost reddened by the business of the past few days!

Now all of a sudden, the income from more than one tael of silver has dropped to a few hundred wen, and he was a little anxious, pacing back and forth, and said to Ning Pengpeng impatiently.

"You know shit."

Ning Pengpeng rolled his eyes at the third child.

"Look at the village, who eats cakes every day? No matter how rich the people in the town are, they have a limit. Although our cakes are delicious, the price is not cheap. We eat every day, unless we have gold, mountain and silver at home. Mountain."

Hearing his mother's words, Ning Lao San was dumbfounded, calmed down and thought about it, it seemed to be true.

"Then...then what should we do? Are we going to reduce the sales in the future?"

Although the money sold now is all in the hands of the mother.

But Niang also said before that after half a year, if they are willing to do it alone, she will not object.

Now like this, half a year later, you will still be a fart alone?

"Hmph, we don't do this, so there are people who want to do it. By the way, I asked you to ask about the cow. How did the question go?"

Nowadays, there are few families with cattle, and most of them are wealthy families with small property, so they will buy cattle and help with farming.

In the entire Dahuaishu village, there are only two families with cattle.

One of them is Lizheng's family, and the other is the Pan family next door.

When Pan Dazhu's cows can't go to the field, he will make an appointment for people in the village who want to go to the town, and he will be lured there at once, and then he will be lured back to earn some money to spend.

However, Mrs. Pan and Mrs. Ning have always been at odds with each other. In the past, Mrs. Ning would rather walk to the town than take the Pan family's ox cart.

Now it is naturally impossible for Ning Pengpeng to go to Pan's house to inquire about the cattle, so she asked Ning Lao San to go to the town to ask who has calves for sale.

"There are two cows that are about to calve, but the cows are too small to be used for buying! Another cow is in the prime of life, but the price is not low."

Being pulled by Ning Pengpeng, Ning Lao San's attention immediately turned to Niu.

After all, he was born as a farmer, so he cared most about cattle, the most hopeful animals in the field.

Therefore, he explained to Ning Pengpeng carefully.

"The price is not low? How much silver does it cost?"

Ning Pengpeng asked directly, and she didn't find it useful for Mavericks either.After all, she bought this cow for other purposes besides transportation!
"The son of that family is a gambler, and he seems to owe a lot of silver. So, he planned to sell the cow in the family. But he asked for 20 taels of silver, so no one bought it."

The newly born calf can be bought for only ten taels of silver. Now it is not worthwhile to spend double the price to buy a cow in its prime of life.

After all, cows just need to eat grass.

It only takes one year to ensure that a calf can be raised fat and strong. Where does it cost ten taels of silver?

Who is willing to be taken advantage of by this and pay the extra ten taels of silver to buy it?
