Chapter 111

Jingyun shrimp allergy, he also shrimp allergy, this is a coincidence, or Jingyun is his child?

"Isn't your mother allergic to prawn?" He asked Jing Yun.

Jing Yun shook his head: "my mother can eat anything, so can my sister."

The daughter inherited her, the son inherited him, it seems that It makes perfect sense.

But if she was with him in those days, what's the matter with Qiao Wei in King Yin's bed?

King Yin became angry and stabbed Qiao Wei.

He saw it that night by the chance of playing a hooligan. There was a shallow mark on her chest, which could be confirmed as a healed sword wound.

The time of the two events is overlapping, she can not appear in his "bed" with King Yin at the same time.

It can't be that she came to sleep with King Yin after sleeping. She was seriously injured when she left King Yin. How can she have the strength to turn the clouds over? But if she is not the one who once had a good night with her, why is her son so like herself? Like appearance, like constitution.

Ji Mingxiu found that he went into a fog, the truth seemed to touch, but there was a barrier in front of him.

The little guy ate mushroom soup happily, his mouth made two hot whirs from time to time, and his nose and forehead were full of sweat.

Ji Mingxiu and King Yin almost took out the handkerchief at the same time to wipe the sweat for the children.

King Yin said coldly, "my own children, don't work anymore."

Ji Mingxiu smile: "the two children seem to have nothing to do with you, whether it was you that night is still unknown."

The king of Yin drew his lips and laughed coldly: "what does uncle mean by that? It's not me, isn't it uncle? "

Ji Mingxiu's delicate fingers gently buckled on the table and said leisurely, "it's probably me."

King Yin touched the jade finger on his left thumb: "uncle, the ability to open his eyes and tell lies is more and more powerful."

Ji Mingxiu said softly, "if you open your eyes and tell lies, you'll know."

The little guy concentrated on eating mushroom. He didn't hear what he said, nor did the prince. His ability of not hearing things outside the window was only a little worse than that of seventeen. He found that a big bowl of shrimp mushroom soup was almost robbed by the little one in front of him. He also accelerated his pace. He was an adult man, and he ate faster than a five-year-old child. When he finished a bowl, he wanted to scoop the second bowl I found that the soup bowl was so clean that there was no residue left.

Qiao Wei never expected that the prince would eat so much. She thought that one bowl for one person would be enough. Wangshu was greedy. She occasionally had two bowls (Wangshu bowl was small, which added up to one bowl). Qiao Wei put half of Morchella and half of mushroom. It was OK to eat only one or two bowls. But the prince died and ate one pot, and the result was

In short, the prince came in vertically and went out horizontally.

At night, aunt Luo and Qiao Wei count the money for the dinner. Cuiyun holds junge'er and feeds her. Junge'er, half a year old, is plump and sweaty.

Qiaowei amusingly touched his little fat leg.

"Who are the guests today?" she asked casually? I see three. Where did the other get in? I don't seem to have given any money! "

Ji Mingxiu and King Yin sealed a big red envelope. The prince didn't know how to be worldly, so he didn't know that he had to give money to eat outside.

Qiao Wei didn't care much and said, "he's the nephew of master Ming. He's with him."

"I think he and Mr. Li also know each other?" Aunt Luo just passed by the door and glanced at it in a hurry. She saw the prince and King Yin talking, "what's the relationship between them?"

The relationship of cannibalism, Qiaowei touch chin: "brother?"

Aunt Luo finished counting the coppers and strung them up with thread: "brother? He's the nephew of Mr. Ming. So Mr. Li is also the nephew of Mr. Ming? "

Yeah, that guy called me Auntie today. It's brain tonic.

Qiao Wei squinted and said, "yes."

"Mr. Li is interested in you. It seems that Mr. Ming is also interested in you. These two brothers and nephews Tut tut. " Aunt Luo shook her head and no longer expressed any opinions. She concentrated on the money. After ordering, she sighed helplessly: "it's not enough to buy food. I told you not to buy such good food. You have to listen. It's not me who cut off the game secretly. All the wild chickens, rabbits and roe deer are on the table."

Qiao Wei said with a smile: "the game was all hunted by myself, and it didn't cost money."

Aunt Luo's flesh pains: "you can sell money. Don't rely on yourself to do some business. When you have a surplus on hand, you start to spend a lot of money. I tell you, there are many places for you to spend money in the future!"

Qiao Wei and Cui Yun look at each other and laugh. Aunt Luo is the most stingy one in the family. She wants to break a penny into two. Anyone who doesn't pay attention to it will start to bombard her. But she is stingy in small things, and in big things, such as Qiao Wei building a house and buying furniture, but she takes out the bottom of the house without saying a word.

Cuiyun said: "it's not that my sister's food is too expensive. It's that they didn't give much. I remember when my brother opened the banquet, there were fewer people and more money. Niang, have you paid for their money? ""Oh, no!" Aunt Luo patted her head and took out another box. When she finished, her throat got stuck.

"How much?" Asked Cuiyun.

Aunt Luo coughed softly: "it's quite a lot."

More than that? It's tens of times more than the sum of all the villagers' money.

"Don't be complacent. Xiaowei wants to return all the money." Aunt Luo is afraid that Qiao Wei's little tail will go up in the sky.

Qiaowei a smile: "yes, I know, ganniang, I will save flowers."

Cuiyun and her mother-in-law previously sang the opposite tune, this meeting must stand aside with her mother-in-law, otherwise the mother-in-law is annoyed, but there is no good fruit to eat: "the villagers' money is really less."

Aunt Luo sighed: "we can't blame them. This year's drought has resulted in a bad harvest." After a pause, he said, "fortunately, we don't expect much from the farm this year."

Originally, there was some hope, but after Luo Yongzhi collected shrimps, the quality of life would be less affected if he made more money in the fields.

Qiao Weiyu obviously felt that the weather this year was abnormal. At the beginning of building the house, aunt Luo and master Zheng reminded her that the rainy season was coming, and there was more rain. Her house might take three months or even longer to complete. However, the fact was that for fifty days, no drizzle had passed. Counting the sunny days before, it didn't rain for a long time.

At first, she was very glad that God had given her face and didn't delay her schedule, but now she is very afraid.

Everyone carries water from canals or streams to irrigate the fields, but the efficiency of human irrigation is not as good as that of God's hand. Many crops have withered and died, and the quality of the plants is not good. The least affected is Qiao Wei's sweet sorghum field.

Sweet sorghum is resistant to salt and drought. God doesn't reward it. It doesn't starve to death. It doesn't grow too bad.

In contrast, the watermelon field on the hillside is not good. Although watermelon likes relatively dry soil and climate, it doesn't mean it's really drought resistant. It's a bit delicate.

Aunt Luo also thought of Qiao Wei's land: "let a GUI carry some water tomorrow and water your watermelon field."

"Well." Qiao Wei answers.

Although she doesn't have to live on watermelon fields now, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat. Moreover, she didn't grow watermelon to sell money in the first place. She wanted to eat it with her children.

After they had talked for a while, it was getting dark and aunt Luo and Cuiyun went down the mountain.

A GUI and Gu Qiniang come to clean up the villa.

Qiao Wei went into the yard and said to the second person who was sweeping: "tomorrow you will come with me to buy in the town. If it goes well, you can start work the day after tomorrow. Brother Zhong can put it in the old scholar's private school."

They were surprised that there was a private school in such a small village. However, it was a good thing that brother Zhong could go to school and read.

They gratefully answered.

Qiao Wei said: "I have no other requirements for you, only two points: first, absolute loyalty, you can have your own ideas, have your own ambitions, and even future plans, I don't care, but when you work for me, you'd better not give birth to the idea of disobedience, otherwise I have a bad temper, and I don't know what to do with you. You signed the death contract, how can I deal with you It's my freedom to deal with you all. The government has no right to intervene. "

Two people are ashamed, suddenly feel oneself that careful thinking, perhaps already saw through by this little widow.

Seven niangs are terrified and say: "madam, don't worry, our life is all of madam's, certainly will be loyal to madam."

"Good." Qiao Wei said quietly: "the second point is absolute obedience. This obedience refers to obedience at work. I don't interfere in how you live in private."

To put it bluntly, it is to listen to the master's words. As early as when she was in the Red Mansions, Mrs. Qian had taught them deeply, and they could save money.

After communicating with GUI and Gu Qiniang, Qiao Wei goes back to her room.

The room was strangely quiet. Qiao Wei fixed her eyes on it, but two little guys fell asleep on the floor of the trampoline.

Qiao Wei laughed and went over to hold them to the bed? Crazy all day. "

Jing Yun opened his eyes vaguely.

"Are you happy today?" Jovi unbuttoned him.

Jing Yun said vaguely, "happy."

Qiao Wei seems to be able to understand the little guy's happiness. When she was very young, she went back to her home with the dean's mother. There are many relatives in the dean's mother's home. She is like an outsider. To be exact, she is really an outsider. She knows too much about the feeling of eager to have a home, own a house and be a master.

Once upon a time, they borrowed someone else's house. If anyone else was not happy, they could take it back. But now, this land belongs to them, and this villa belongs to them.

Qiao Wei kisses the brows of the two little guys, rubs their sore necks, and goes to sleep.

The next day, Qiao Wei sent the two kids and Zhong Ge'er to a private school. She picked up a catty of mushroom and half a catty of Morchella for the old scholar. When the old scholar saw the mushroom, she remembered that she couldn't get up that day, and her legs trembled."I forgot to tell my husband that the mushroom has the effect of smoothing intestines. You can't eat too much at one time. Last time Didn't you eat much? " Qiao Wei asked with a dry smile.

The old scholar was in tears: "No."

Qiao Wei said with a smile: "there are not many Morchella left. I've brought them to you. It's a tonic. You should eat more."

Old scholar micro (pain) smile (cry) accepted.

Later, Qiao Wei borrowed Luo Yongzhi's donkey cart and went to town with a GUI and Gu Qiniang.

People in the village don't know that a GUI and Gu Qiniang are servants bought by them. Qiao Wei claims that they are long-term employees.

"GUI, can you drive?" Joey was surprised.

A GUI said: "originally, I didn't. I learned a lot from Mrs. Qian."

Ancient servants are still trained to work. How advanced!

The three arrived in town.

"What to buy first? Madame GUI asked.

Qiao Wei thought, "duck eggs."

Due to the large demand in the future, Qiao Wei needs a stable supply channel.

Qiao Wei wandered around the market for several times, but she didn't find any one that could supply so many goods at one time. Finally, she went back and found several "self-produced and self-selling" farmers. They fed ducks and had a certain amount of duck eggs every day. The largest one had a daily supply of 300, while the other three had a daily supply of 200.

There is no middleman in the market for duck eggs, so the profit margin is not large, and the output is not large. As a result, the wholesale price can not be pressed down, and the final transaction is one and a half yuan.

Of course, compared with the wholesale price, Qiao Wei is more concerned about whether the goods can be delivered on time and in quantity every day. It's not a joke to do business with the palace. She should try her best to avoid all risks.

"In the first month, if each of you can deliver it on time and in quantity, from next month on, I will return half a cent for each duck egg."

People are surprised. Isn't that the same as the retail price?

"If there is no mistake in three consecutive months, I will go up half a cent more. Of course, if the price goes up too fast and exceeds my purchase price, I will go up half a cent more on the basis of the market price."

In this way, they only need to supply stably for three months, and then they will be able to get higher than the retail price outside. My God, such a good thing is just pie in the sky!

This girl Qiao looks young, but she is very sophisticated in business. She is brave enough. Many men can't do it like her. She is really a strange woman.

So it's settled.

Qiao Wei signed a written agreement with the people. The farmers were illiterate, so they found a nearby gentleman to sign his name and press his fingerprints.

Qiao Wei said: "first of all, if you can't ship the goods in time, you must make up for the shortage within three days. Once a month, you'll be exempted. Twice a month, you'll be exempted from the price increase of next month."

People repeatedly nodded: "should be, should be."

Ah GUI and Gu Qi Niang took the duck eggs they bought today into the carriage. Looking at the baskets full of duck eggs, they thought Qiao Wei was going to do salted egg business. But when they followed Qiao Wei to buy 200 Jin of edible soda, 200 Jin of salt, 100 Jin of black tea and 100 Jin of quicklime, they didn't think so.

"GUI, what do you think madam wants to do?" Gu Qi Niang asked in a low voice.

GUI frowned: "I don't know. I'll know tomorrow anyway. What's your hurry?"

"So it is." Gu Qi Niang no longer talks much.

A GUI realized that his tone was not good, and quickly apologized: "don't be angry with me. I didn't mean to hurt you. I can't stand the heat."

Gu Qi Niang is coy to smile: "not angry with you."

They used to be uncles and sisters in law. It was not easy for them to get together, and they cherished it. Ah GUI didn't dislike his broken body. He didn't have time to be happy. How could he be angry?

Qiao Wei sighed secretly and abused the dog again. Heaven forbids!

After buying the ingredients, Qiaowei ordered a row of shelves and 50 jars. Qiaowei couldn't get the things back and paid the freight for them to deliver them in the afternoon.

Buy too many things, leading to go back, shuanzi dad's carriage simply can't sit down, Qiaowei went to the car shop to hire a carriage.

After unloading the goods on the mountain, Qiao Wei left a GUI and Gu Qiniang to tidy up the workshop, while she went to the village to collect rice husk and plant ash. In the past, when she only made rice husk and plant ash for Rongji, Luo's rice husk and plant ash were enough. Now it's ten thousand a month, so she had to buy a lot of them. Simple rice husk and plant ash are not rare things, almost every household has.

"What's the value of this? I'll give you what you want! " Said Er Gouzi Niang.

Qiao Wei said with a smile: "I don't want only a little, but all."

"I'll give it all to you. It's not worth a lot of money!" Er Gouzi Niang got several taels of silver from Qiao Wei. She always felt that she earned too much and was a little embarrassed.

Qiao Wei said: "it doesn't matter if I take yours for nothing, but what if others know that it's given to me for nothing and don't bother to leave it to me in the future? It's better to burn it at will

The second dog son Niang thinks is such a reason: "like this, I don't want your money, I also don't say outside."Qiao Wei said with a smile: "I've got my sister-in-law's kindness, but I can't take your things for nothing. If you really want to help me, I can't help you when I get busy."

Er Gouzi Niang said, "what's the difficulty? Then you just talk! "

Qiao Wei's price is two Wen a Jin. Without rice husk, sorghum husk is OK. However, no one in the village grows sorghum except her, so it's all rice husk. This reminds Qiao Wei that she has another advantage in growing sorghum - free sorghum husk.

Qiao Wei collected a total of 50 Jin of rice husk and plant ash. Although they were only 50 Jin, they were light and spread on the ground. They were packed in several sacks.

Luo Yongzhi has already collected shrimps and put her things on the donkey cart: "what else do you want to collect, sister?"

"Is there a rule in our village?" Qiao Wei asked.

Luo Yongzhi said: "yes, Xu Dazhuang's father-in-law!"

Qiao Wei slightly a Zheng: "big strong married?"

"Yes."

Qiao Wei frowned strangely: "when did it happen that I didn't know?"

Luo Yongzhi explained: "didn't you go to the capital to buy people and live in the capital for one night and come back the next day? Just that night. He didn't make much noise. The other party took refuge in the countryside. He took a lame father and didn't know us well. Dazhuang only set up two tables of wine in his own house. The village head and some old people in the village went, but my mother didn't go! "

Qiao Wei said she understood: "this is it." Ancient flash marriage and naked marriage.

Luo Yongzhi shook his head and said, "his father-in-law is a good craftsman. I bought him a basket to hold shrimp that day. That craftsmanship, tut tut!"

Luo Yongzhi is dull and seldom talks about anyone, let alone praises him.

Qiao Wei came to the interest, and Luo Yongzhi together on the Xu big banker.

The woman was very shy. Seeing them from a distance, she hid in the kitchen. Xu Dazhuang was sharpening his knife in the yard.

"Da Zhuang!" Luo Yongzhi greets him with a smile.

Xu Dazhuang looked at Qiao Wei beside Luo Yongzhi in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"My sister wants to buy a basket from your father-in-law! Sister, how many do you want? " Luo Yongzhi looks at Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei thought about it and said thoughtfully, "thirty first? I'll see if it's enough. "

Xu Dazhuang went to the backyard to talk to his father-in-law and came out to talk to Qiao Wei: "he said it's no problem. He finished it in a few days."

Qiao Wei thought that her father-in-law's leg was disabled, and she didn't know whether he was sharp or not. She said, "you're not in a hurry. You can let him do it slowly, and the delivery will be finished in 15 days."

In the afternoon, the merchant sent 50 cans and a row of shelves to the mountain. Seeing that the empty warehouse was filled with neat cans, shelves and cooking utensils, Qiao Wei felt that she was a little full and excited.

The next morning, the workshop started.

The production process of Songhua egg is not complicated. First, stir fry the salt, grind and crush it, then mix the quicklime with water, split it into powder and screen it again. Then, put the clear water and the right amount of black tea and salt into the pot to boil, and then mix it with lime, soda ash, plant ash or sorghum shell to make a paste. This is the coat of duck egg.

Qiao Wei handed them a pair of gloves: "it's corrosive. Don't wrap the duck eggs with your hands."

They nodded and took the gloves.

Qiao Wei demonstrated it to them. They started very quickly, and soon they could wrap up a large and even "shell".

Qiao Wei has calculated that one hundred duck eggs need about three Jin and three liang of salt, three Jin and three liang of quicklime, three Jin and three liang of soda ash, and one Jin and two Jin of black tea. The taste will be affected if there is more or less.

"What are we doing, ma'am?" Gu Qi Niang couldn't help asking.

Qiao Wei didn't want to hide it from them, so she said, "Songhua egg."

"Ah, preserved eggs?" Gu Qiniang was so surprised that she knew about Songhua eggs. After Mrs. Qian bought them back to the Red Mansions, she worked as a helper in the kitchen for a period of time. Then she saw that the cook made this dish. At that time, the cook was very careful and told her that it was a natural God egg of 200 Wen each. The duck from Xianhu made it. Please be careful and don't damage it.

Yesterday, there were also preserved eggs on the mat. She tasted a few of them, and the taste was really good. She thought it was really the duck from Xianhu, but she didn't expect it was made by her wife.

Qiao Wei explained: "after you wrap the duck eggs, put them in the jar and seal them. Can you write?"

Gu Qiniang shook her head.

A GUI said, "I will."

Qiao Wei almost forgot that the other party was the second master of the official family. It was not a big problem for her to read words. She said to him, "seal it and write the date on it. I'll cut the paper."

After that, Qiao Wei went out of the warehouse.

Gu Qiniang said happily: "I didn't expect that the Songhua egg was made by my wife. She is really capable!"

A GUI said: "it's just some skills of cheating. A duck's egg that is easy to produce is boasted to be a God's egg. The cost is so low, but it's sold for two hundred Wen. It's money losing. It stinks of copper!"

Scholars, the most despised is the businessman, government officials, farmers and businessmen, businessmen lowest status.Gu Qiniang didn't think so and said, "it's just like this in business. It's expensive to have rare things. Do you think litchi is only a few Wen a Jin in our market? How much does it cost to get to the capital? "

She likes Qiaowei, because Qiaowei lives up to her admiration. At the end of the day, probably no woman doesn't want to be as free and easy as Qiaowei. She doesn't want to be like other people. She is always a man's accessory. "Madam, it's not easy. A widow with two children can make a living like this You see, I'm a widow, but I can't support myself, let alone brother Zhong. "

A GUI Wen said: "you don't need to support yourself. You have me. I will take care of you and brother Zhong."

"Well." Gu Qi Niang nodded with a smile.

In the afternoon, Qiao Wei went to Rongji with a can of preserved eggs in her arms. She hadn't come for a long time. Boss Rong's face was a little ugly: "Yo, what brings the second leader here? The second leader has not forgotten Rong Ji. "

For the sake of the big red envelope and the little golden pig, Qiao Wei didn't care with him. She said with a smile, "I've been busy for a few days. I'm not moving

Let boss fiddle with abacus, hum a way: "I see you are hiding person."

"I know you asked?" Qiaowei took the preserved egg to Xiaoliu. "The daughter hasn't come to me recently, has she?"

Let the boss curl his lips and say: "come twice, every time you are not in, behind probably rest mind, did not come again."

DORO Ziyu is also a wonderful flower. Her fiance has some "women and children" outside. Instead of trying to repair her fiance, she takes their mother and son back to the palace.

"Nice new home, Little Joe." Let boss boast, this sentence is sincere.

Qiao Wei joked: "where can I compare with the owner Rong's mansion? When do you want us to visit your super mansion? "

That tiger in his family, forget it, either tear Little Joe or tear him.

"Mr. Rong, are the guests urging the dishes?" Xiao Liu put away the preserved eggs and came to say.

Boss Rong finally thought of the right thing, looked at Qiao Wei and said: "by the way, we have a very strange guest. After eating the food, we asked who made it. I pulled master he out. He didn't believe it. He said it was a woman. You wouldn't have cooked the same food in other places, but he just ate it?"

Qiao Wei glared at the boss: "I don't have it! Unless he's been to my house. "

"If you're looking outside, do you know someone you know? Don't show your face. It's not a good end to meet another apprentice."

"I know."

Qiao Wei and boss Rong go upstairs and take a peek at the door. It's a middle-aged man with elegant demeanor. They describe him as very handsome. They don't dress openly, but they are all very expensive materials.

Boss Rong winks at Qiao Wei. They both go downstairs. Boss Rong asks, "how's it going? Do you know him? "

Qiao Wei shook her head: "I don't know. When did he come to Rongji?"

Mr. Rong touched his chin: "just a few days before we went to the palace to cook for the emperor, I forgot to tell you that Huizi was busy with the palace. I thought about it for a while. He may have come to dig the bottom of the wall. It's no secret for you to cook in Rongji. Master Huang has gone out. Can he hold his big mouth? I'm afraid the whole town knows there's a female master in Rongji. "

Qiao Wei thought, it seems to be such a reason, and she didn't know each other, so she didn't care about it.

Qiao Wei bought two big crucian carp from the market, then carried them back to the village. 7

on the other hand, Xu Shijie, who had not seen anything for a long time, began to toss about again. For nothing else, Xu Shijie, who had been carefully selected for them, quit.

Several people are in yueman building. Xu is sitting behind the screen. Mother Lin is in the front hall and says to Xu Shijie, "what's the matter with you? Why don't you just say no? Didn't I tell you that if you married her, the dowry of two thousand taels of silver was yours? There is also a grain shop and a cloth shop. "

The grain shop and the cloth shop were bought by Shen Xiaoer at that time. She made some money in those years, but no one took care of them after Shen's death. In recent years, the business has been weak, and it's almost impossible to make ends meet. Throwing them out is similar to throwing away the burden of the two. Of course, mother Lin won't let Xu Shijie know.

Xu Shijie was moved by the two shops and a huge sum of money before he took the job. But now, he doesn't want to do it: "mother Lin, Xiao Qiao is a good man. Don't give her any more ideas."

Lin's mother took a cold breath. That little bitch named Qiao is really capable. In a few days, she bought Xu Shijie to speak for her. Lin's mother put down her anger and said to Xu Shijie, "I know she's a good person, so I want to find a good family for her."

"I'm such a waste. I'm a good family?" It's not that Xu Shijie belittles himself, it's that he knows how much he's worth. His father thinks that it's almost enough for him to be a lame man. Can't Mother Lin, who has a thorough mind, see that Xiao Qiao is a cloud in the sky, and he's just a piece of mud on the ground?

"You tell mom the truth. What's the matter?" Mother Lin didn't believe that the boy's conscience was discovered so quickly.Xu Shijie hesitated for a moment and muttered: "you Do you know who Joe's man is? I mean, the father of the child. "

"Who?"

Xu Shijie had a lingering fear and said, "King Yin."
