There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 187

Her income today is 350 Wen.

She also carried a basket of herbal medicine, which weighed three catties, and if she sold it again, she would earn another few hundred cash.

Chunya counted with her fingers, adding the money she had saved before, her savings would soon be full of money.

The goods are all sold out.

Thinking that Chunya still had a basket of herbal medicines that were not sold, Li Jiaoniang took her to the medicine shop in the market to ask the price.

Except for Radix Isatidis, other medicines picked by Chun Ya are rare in many shops.

Moreover, it happened that the store where they asked the price was out of stock.

The guy got the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper reported the price, which was fifty cents a catty higher than Chun Ya expected.

Three and a half catties of herbs, plus a hundred-year-old wild ginseng picked earlier, she sold a total of four pennies!

Chun Ya was carrying four strings of money, as if falling into a dream.

When she was 15 years old, it was the first time she saw so much money.

No, no, no, her family has never given out four strings of money.

Li Jiaoniang pressed her hand and told her, "Put the money away. When you get home, don't tell your family that you have already saved so much money."

Chunya came back to her senses, "Can't you tell mother?"

Li Jiaoniang shook her head and said cautiously, "You can't say it!"

Chunbao is still young, not only can't make money, but also spend money.

Li Jiaoniang wondered whether the Zhong family would be like Niu Er and his wife, regardless of their daughter's feelings, blindly asking their daughter to supplement their son.

The younger brother is young, so he can take care of it with appropriate subsidies, but it would be too much for the daughter to be his son's servant and give everything selflessly.

A daughter is also a human being, she came to this world not to live for someone, but to live for herself!

In addition, if she told Zhong Shi that Zhong Shi and Luo Fucai reconciled after the quarrel, there is no guarantee that Zhong Shi would not tell Luo Fucai.

There is an old man who is a bad gambler at home, no matter how much money he has, it is not enough for him to gamble.

Chunya pursed her lips, "But, my mother knew that I came to the market, and that I brought herbs and hares to sell, and didn't make any money. She didn't believe it."

Li Jiaoniang said, "That is to say, you have sold the consistent money, and you will save all the other money quietly. If the sixth aunt wants your consistent money, you can give part of it. As an unmarried daughter, she can live and eat at home. You should be subsidized, but you can’t give them all. Girls can’t live without money. Only when you have money can you live confidently. You won’t be underestimated by your husband’s family in the future.”

Chun Ya listened and thought, what Jiao Niang said was too true, the mother had no money in her hand, and if she had any money, she would give it to her father or grandma, and they used her money, calling her a waste instead.

Yes, she has to save some money herself, she doesn't want to be a piece of shit.

"Yes, I see." Chunya nodded seriously.

Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng's income today is more than five pennies.

After leaving the pharmacy, it was already noon when Luo Cheng took Chunya and Li Jiaoniang to have lunch.

Caiji Tavern was closed, so they had to find another restaurant.

But to their disappointment, there were no taverns and restaurants, and there were a few soup noodle stalls and steamed stuffed bun shops on the side of the road.

This made Li Jiaoniang decide that she must buy Cai Ji's tavern.

Today, wild pork is sold, and many people come to buy meat for her spice packs. It can be seen that Cai Ji uses her spice packs to attract a lot of business and repeat customers.

She will cook herself in the future, and her business will definitely be no worse than Cai Ji.

"I can't find a restaurant, how about we eat noodle soup?" Luo Cheng looked around and asked Li Jiaoniang.

In the market in the village, how can there be room for choice?
Li Jiaoniang didn't object, "Okay, I haven't tasted the noodle soup from the noodle stall yet." She pointed to a stall with a lot of customers and said, "That one, there's a queue for that one."

Chun Ya is not picky, "I also want to eat noodle soup."

"Okay, I'm going to park the carriage, you wait for me there." Luo Cheng said.

Li Jiaoniang came to the stall and ordered three bowls of noodles, and saw exquisite crystal buns on the side, so she also bought a basket.

A peddler came by, selling fried tofu slices.

Li Jiaoniang looked at the small pot, and saw slices of tofu, skewered with bamboo sticks, frying in the small pot.Some fried ones are put in the wire mesh beside the small pot to filter the oil and let them cool.

Wherever the shopkeeper passed by, many people clamored to buy it.

"No hurry, no hurry, there are too many. I'll put down the burden first." The pick-up man was a middle-aged man of modest stature, with a smile on his face and a kind face.

Next to the noodle soup stand, there was a table-sized space where he parked the salesman's shoulder.

Several people immediately stepped forward to buy.

Tofu has just appeared in this period. If it is braised in brown sauce, it can be comparable to the taste of braised pork.

Chunya poked her head to look, and licked her lips with the tip of her tongue.

Li Jiaoniang said, "I'll go buy a few skewers."

Chun Ya reached into the cloth bag to feel for the money, "Sister Jiao Niang, I want a string, this is money."

Fried tofu skewers, small thin slices the size of copper coins, ten slices are skewered, and it costs ten yuan per skewer.

This can buy a bowl of noodle soup with meat.

Chunya didn't have much money, Li Jiaoniang waved her hand and said, "I treat you to eat."

"Ah, how can it work? I have money." Chun Ya insisted on giving the money.

"Next time you buy it yourself, I will treat you to eat today, and reward you for your ability to make money." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

She bought three skewers.

Chunya felt embarrassed, so she had to accept it.

When Luo Cheng came back, he saw a small table full of food.

Fried tofu skewers, crystal buns, noodle soup with sliced ​​meat.

Li Jiaoniang handed him the chopsticks scalded with boiling water, and said with a smile, "It's rare for us to go to the market, shall we have a good meal?"

As long as Li Jiaoniang likes it, Luo Cheng has no objection.

He took the chopsticks, ate them with a snort, took two mouthfuls of the noodle soup, and said, "When I parked the car, there was an old man driving an ox cart. He was from Cai Ji's village. He lived very close to Cai Ji's house. , He said, Cai Ji is not at home, but his wife and youngest son are at home. The old man went shopping and will return to the village in half an hour, let's go with him, no need to ask for directions."

Li Jiaoniang said, "It's great to meet someone from the village leading the way, just in time, I still have to buy something, when I finish shopping, half an hour will just pass."

Chunya also said, "I'm going to go shopping too." She thought that there were still some items missing at home, so she should buy some and go home.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Let's go together."

"Good."

Everyone eats good food, Luo Cheng looks at the carriage, Li Jiaoniang and Chunya go shopping.

Although it was noon, there were still many people on the street, and it was very inconvenient to stop and go in the carriage.

Besides, instead of buying something heavy, Li Jiaoniang asked Luo Cheng to rest.

She and Chun Ya walked to buy things.

Chunya bought a pair of shoes for herself and her family members, and bought two bus fans. The fans at home were all broken and out of shape.

Seeing the rain gear, she bought a big oiled paper umbrella, two bamboo hats, and a pair of clogs for rainy days.

None of these things are available at home.

Li Jiaoniang bought some needles, thread, salt, a pair of wooden clogs, and some paper and pens.

The two of them were walking back with the purchased items in their hands, talking and laughing. At this moment, they met a person walking towards him pushing a cart.

It's Xiang Erbao.

Li Jiaoniang called him with a smile, "Er Bao, go to the market alone."

He nodded to Erbao, "Yeah." He walked over without talking to Chunya.

Chunya glanced at him and continued walking.

"It's already noon, his cart is empty, doesn't he want to buy anything?" Li Jiaoniang smiled and shook her head.

Chunya turned her head to look at Xiang Erbao's back, and frowned.

Back beside Luo Cheng's carriage, Li Jiaoniang and Chun Ya dumped the things in their arms onto the carriage.

Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Are you planning to go back and pay for groceries?"

"I buy less, but Chunya buys more." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile, "Not to mention, I really want to open a grocery store."

To open a grocery store, someone has to sit in the store all day.

If she opened a grocery store, she would not be able to help Luo Cheng. Besides, the income of the grocery store was far worse than that of the tavern.

She dropped the idea.

There are a lot of things, and they are all fragmented, so Li Jiaoniang tidied them up.

Chunya said at this time, "Oh, I forgot to buy salt, I have to buy some."

Li Jiaoniang said casually, "You go, come quickly."

"I'll be back soon." Chunya, wearing a newly bought bamboo hat and holding up her skirt, ran to the grocery store selling oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.

She ran to the door of the shop, and just about to go in, she saw a person standing inside, shopping.

Chunya was surprised, and stepped back down the steps again.

She stood on the side of the shop's screen and waited, just waiting for the man to buy something and leave so that she could go in and buy salt.

That was Xiang Erbao.

Xiang Erbao is buying rice.

"Big brother, this rice is good, six cents a catty, not expensive, come to me if it's not tasty." The shopkeeper said, pointing to a rice bucket full of rice.

Chun Ya poked her head to look, didn't that kind of rice just bought by herself for five cents a catty?Why did the price increase so quickly?
When she passed by here just now, she saw that the shopkeeper sold sixty catties, and the rice buyer was a pungent old lady.

"Okay, let's buy fifty catties." Nodding to Erbao.

"Okay, weigh fifty catties." The shopkeeper found a cloth bag for rice.

Fifty catties would take a long time to pack, Xiang Erbao was bored, and started looking at other places in the shop.

The shopkeeper was cunning, taking advantage of Xiang Erbao not looking at him, he quickly stretched the gourd scoop to another rice bucket, scooped a scoop of rice, and poured it into the rice bag.

Xiang Erbao didn't look back, and the shopkeeper scooped it up again.

Chun Ya was curious, stood on tiptoe, and looked into the rice bucket.

Her face darkened immediately.

The shopkeeper's heart is really dark, and there is fine rice in that bucket!
This kind of rice is broken rice grains that are sifted out. The rice cooked is not delicious. Housewives who can cook will buy it and make rice cakes.

The price of this kind of rice is also very cheap, only two cents a catty.

Take two cents a catty of rice and fill it with six cents a catty?
The shopkeeper's heart is not ordinary black!
Seeing that Xiang Erbao hadn't looked back, the shopkeeper scooped up another five scoops of rice.

After loading the rice, the shopkeeper weighed it, "Fifty catties of rice, look after it, the scale is very warped, look, I have pulled it in for half a star."

Xiang Erbao glanced at the scale, nodded, and took out the money from his pocket to count.

Chun Ya can't stand it, this Xiang Erbao doesn't even look down on shopping?
She strode into the shop, "Xiang Erbao, don't buy that rice."

Startled, Xiang Erbao asked, "Why can't I buy it?"

"Let's go out and talk." Chun Ya glanced at the shopkeeper and said.

The shopkeeper looked fierce, she was worried that he would hit someone.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs." Xiang Erbao ignored her, turned around and continued to count the money.

Chunya became anxious, ran forward and grabbed his arm and left, "Come out!"

"What do you want to do? Huh? The rice has been weighed, do you dare not buy it?" The shopkeeper stopped Chunya and Xiang Erbao.

Chun Ya straightened her neck, "My shopkeeper, you are dishonest in your business, we won't buy it! Let's go, Er Bao, buy rice from another company."

She tugged towards Erbao with all her strength.

The shopkeeper sneered, "You have to buy it today, and you have to buy it if you don't buy it. You told me to weigh the rice, and then suddenly said you don't want to buy it. If you want to make trouble, you have to look at the place!"

Xiang Erbao withdrew the arm held by Chun Ya, and complained to her, "What are you doing? Come on, let's go, I'll buy my rice, it has nothing to do with you."

Chunya stomped her feet, "You fool, the shopkeeper added cheap fine rice to the rice, but he charged you six cents a catty! If you don't believe me, open the bag and have a look?"

Xiang Erbao was startled, what?The shopkeeper is so black-hearted?
He immediately opened the bag to look.

But, before he could see clearly, the cunning shopkeeper snatched back the rice bag, "If you don't buy it, get out, get out!" As he said, he pushed the two of them with both hands.

Chun is a kid, he didn't stand firmly on his feet and fell to the ground.

The shopkeeper thought that this little girl had ruined his business, so he took the opportunity to kick Chunya.

This kick hit the back, and Chunya yelled in pain, "Ah——"

Xiang Erbao didn't like Chunya at first, but now seeing that she was beaten because of him, he felt very sad, and hurriedly pulled her up, "Stand outside!"

He rolled up his sleeves and beat the shopkeeper.

Although he was not as tall as Luo Cheng, he learned a few punches from Luo Cheng and knocked down the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's hair was messed up, and his face was in a mess.

After beating him down, he opened the bag of rice to the second horse to have a look.

Seeing this made him angry.

He picked up a gourd ladle and scooped out a scoop of rice, and showed it to the shopkeeper, "What is this? Use bad rice as good rice? How dare you beat someone? Let's talk to the pavilion chief."

The head of the pavilion is in charge of the chores of a township, one level higher than Li Zheng.

Chunya had an idea, ran to the door of the shop, pointed at the shopkeeper and said loudly, "Shopkeeper, you are not kind. You mix bad rice with good rice, but sell it at the price of good rice. If I saw it, you kicked me."

The shopkeeper did not expect to meet two pungent ones.

This caused a commotion, and attracted passers-by to watch the excitement, and his shop business would be affected, so he had to bow his head and admit defeat, "All right, all right, I'm joking, why do you take it seriously?"

Chunya said again, "Just half an hour ago, I saw that you sold this kind of rice to my aunt at five cents a catty, and now you sell it to my neighbor at six cents a catty. It's really not kind."

The shopkeeper was startled, what?The savage woman who left just now is this little girl's aunt?

Ouch, no wonder it's so difficult.

He didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and said honestly, "Everyone outside is clamoring to increase the price. Since you are introduced by a relative, I will sell it to you at the original price. Forget about losing a penny per catty. I hope to make a repeat business. It’s fifty catties, I’ll weigh it again.”

"I don't dare to ask for your rice anymore. Who knows what rice will be sold to me?" Xiang Erbao said coldly, turned around and walked out of the shop, pushing the cart and leaving.

Chun Ya didn't plan to buy salt here anymore, and went to another shop.

The shopkeeper called them at the door, and neither of them turned back.

Pushing the cart to Erbao, he came to another place that sold rice, grain, oil and salt.

After entering the shop, a little old man came to greet the business immediately.

I asked Erbao the price of a type of rice, and found that it was cheaper than the shop just now, and the best rice was only five cents a catty.

Chunya also walked into the shop, "Shopkeeper, I want a catty of salt."

"Okay, salt is ten cents a catty." The shopkeeper went to a large bucket of salt, took oil paper, and packed it for Chunya.

Snow-white salt blocks without a trace of impurities.

Xiang Erbao looked back at her, and said to the shopkeeper, "I want fifty catties of rice for five cents a catty, and the salt she bought will also be paid for."

But Chunya had already handed ten Wenqian to the shopkeeper, "Ten Wenqian."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Little girl, this little official will help you settle the settlement."

"He and I are not in the same family." Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't pick it up, Chunya put the ten cents on the counter, took the bag of salt, and left.

Xiang Erbao was taken aback, she didn't want him to help pay?

The old shopkeeper stretched out his hand and patted Er Bao's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Little official, do you like that girl just now?"

Xiang Erbao looked embarrassed and said nothing.
