Chapter 69

"What? "Five liang?" Qiao Yuxi can't believe what he heard. Isn't it an egg? How is it more expensive than ginseng?

Xingzhu was also very distressed. The young lady gave her five Liang silver. She happily went to buy Songhua eggs. She thought she could buy back a large basket. Who knows Alone?

Looking at the lonely Songhua egg on the table, Qiao Yuxi clenched his lips: "were you killed?"

Kill?

"Girl, you don't know. This Songhua egg, also known as Shendan, is not laid by ordinary ducks. It's a shenduck raised by an old Taoist priest who lives in seclusion in the mountains. There is a fairy lake there. The shenducks grew up eating fish from the fairy lake. The eggs they gave birth to are also green and green. It not only has a unique taste, but also has the functions of moistening the lungs, nourishing Yin, stopping bleeding, cooling intestines, relieving diarrhea, and appetizing and nourishing the stomach My mother is old and has been suffering from stomach disease for many years, so I'll eat this God egg! If you don't believe it, take two to have a taste first. If it doesn't work, you can come to me! I promise you a refund! "

Apricot bamboo let the boss's words to his own miss.

After listening to it, Qiao Yuxi thought that the other party was exaggerating, but Mrs. Ji really had a big appetite after eating Songhua egg and duck porridge. But from this point of view, it really has medicinal value. As for whether the boss said it was so wonderful, it needs to be verified. After all, the Qiao family runs a pharmacy. When they recommend expensive medicinal materials, they exaggerate their effects. It's not impossible to sell dozens of taels of things for one or two silver.

"Are you sure it's a natural egg? Not pickled? " She asked.

"Apricot bamboo answers:" the boss of Rong Ji says so with maidservant

Qiao Yuxi is more confused. What duck can lay such eggs? Is there a duck in the world?

"Miss, shall we still buy it?" Apricot bamboo asked carefully.

One five Liang, ten fifty Liang, one month You have to eat 15 taels of gold, which is only one plan a day, but the real situation may not be like this. Who cooks a pot of porridge and only puts one egg? Just because the old lady eats one portion doesn't mean that the cook only makes so few portions. If it goes on like this, her small Treasury will be in deficit in two months.

……

It's easy to remember that Qiao Wei is in a good mood, not only because she got five Liang silver, but also because of -

hehe hehe.

Now that she has a little spare money in her hands, she discusses with boss Rong that the profits from selling snacks and preserved eggs will be settled monthly, because she can get the minimum payment for each supply, which is enough for her expenses.

"Mother, are we going home?" Wang Shu felt round tummy and asked, she ate a lot of fried fruit, is about to walk.

Qiaowei takes her to shuanzi dad's carriage. Jingyun climbs up by herself. She smiles and says, "buy something first and then come back. Eat less later, so as not to make you feel bad. Do you know?"

Wang Shu gave a sound and asked excitedly, "mother, what are we going to buy?"

Qiao Wei pinched her daughter's red face: "you'll know when you get there."

Qiaowei asked shuanzi father to stop the carriage at the gate of the cloth shop. The landlady remembered her and a pair of beautiful twins. She welcomed her in with a smile: "madam, do you want to cut cloth or buy ready-made clothes today?"

"Ready to wear." Her needlework level is limited. She can make two coats for Xiaobai. I'm afraid it will be summer.

The landlady knew that she was referring to the children's clothes. She took her to the inside, pointed to a small plain white sweater on the table, and said with a smile, "I just made half of the latest style this year. Do you like the style?"

It's a long shirt with a cross collar on silk. It has wide sleeves. The corners of the robe are straight down. The waist is wrapped with a plain belt. It's very textural.

Qiao Wei was still satisfied and asked about the price.

"This is the combed poplin from Penglai county. The price is high and the workmanship is complicated. You're a regular customer. You can count on a set of one or two silver," said the landlady

A set of children's clothes costs one or two silver, and Qiao Wei's flesh is aching. But Qiao Wei also knows that the boss's wife doesn't ask for prices all over the world. Poplin, also known as cotton silk, was first made by nobles and officials. Because it feels like silk, it's called poplin. Its price is higher than that of ordinary cotton fabric. Besides the money for handcraft, it's almost worth the price.

"Do you have women's clothes?" Qiao Wei asked.

The landlady said, "you can do it, too."

Wangshu's eyes lit up in an instant.

Qiao Wei didn't ignore the desire in the eyes of the two children. She said to the landlady, "I'll take four sets. You can give them less."

The boss's wife said with a smile: "this really can't be less, or I'll give you two pairs of shoes?"

Qiao Wei hesitated.

The landlady added: "in fact, it's enough for children to buy a decent suit. They don't have to be so particular about clothes at home. It's OK for them to wear when they go out to visit relatives. Would you like to have a look at the clothes here? Three hundred Wen a set. "

It's a penny for a penny, a set of 300 Wen, and it's rustic.

Qiao Wei wants to buy the children for the child prodigy test. Last time she went to a restaurant for dinner, those strange eyes made her not comfortable. She is an adult who has seen the wind and waves. Even so, the children must feel even worse.Two people do not say, does not mean that she does not know.

The two steamed stuffed buns have been living too hard in recent years. They are used to not getting what they want, to being indifferent to others, to being aggrieved and seeking perfection, and to not giving "her" any trouble.

When others praise her children sensible, she is actually very sad, such a small child, should not be so sensible!

Sometimes she would rather they were like iron ox, crying and clamoring for something from adults than not wanting.

In the end, Qiao Wei ordered four sets of expensive poplin shirts and two long skirts. No matter how much money she spent, she could earn back. However, she could not buy some things.

……

In the next few days, Qiao Wei successively provided three batches of goods to Rongji, and got 15 liang of silver as the minimum payment. Finally, the shrunken money bag became a little fat.

Because of the child prodigy test on the 27th, Qiao Wei has not done anything since the 26th, concentrating on preparing things for Beijing at home.

After Qiao Yuxi learned that the price of Songhua egg was so expensive, she didn't send anyone to visit Rongji for a long time. She didn't believe that no one else knew about this kind of thing. Lingzhi Tang is the largest pharmacy in the capital. There are so many pharmacists all over the world.

She sent people to inquire one by one.

However, to her great disappointment, no one has ever heard of such eggs, let alone made them.

It doesn't matter whether she believes it's natural or not. The important thing is that only Rongji can sell it. If she wants to buy it, she must be able to afford the price.

If master Mingxiu likes her, she thinks that she doesn't have to worry about it, but she's not very nice to her. Some people in Ji's family are against the marriage. Mrs. Ji is the only one she relies on. She has to win over.

When you become the prime minister's wife, the gold you pay today will be doubled. Right now, you have to pave the way for yourself.

The last time she planned to bribe 17 friends, the gold was 12 Liang, 40% of her small Treasury. She asked Xingzhu to take all her belongings and go to Rongji to buy Songhua eggs. To prevent accidents, she also sent several strong bodyguards along the way.

Xingzhu fulfilled his mission and brought a jar of Songhua eggs back to the residence safely.

"Miss!" Xingzhu was so excited.

Qiao Yuxi frowned: "slow down, this is all my property."

A box of gold, bought such a jar of eggs, think all ridiculous!

It's just that what can she do?

Apricot bamboo carefully asked: "Miss, where to put it?"

Qiao Yuxi looked around, pointed to the table and said, "put it on the table. I will send it to the old lady in the afternoon."

"Ah! Big sister! Help! Second brother is going to kill me

Qiao Yuqi, who is playing with his second brother, kicks the door open with a clatter and pours on Qiao Yuxi even if he doesn't want to!

It's too late for Qiao Yuxi to escape. She's just a charming young lady. How can she stand the hard work of a bear child?

The center of gravity is not stable and bumps into the table behind with my brother.

Then there was a loud bang, and the jar fell on the ground and cracked
