Yun Xiaoqian knew that Xu Qing's moon cakes were for sale. She wanted to ask Xu Qing to teach her how to make moon cakes with bean paste stuffing. She sent them to her mother's house tomorrow. Now she can only give up the idea.
Yun Xiaoqian thinks that Xu Qing just wants to keep a low profile. On the way back, brother Qinshu suddenly reminds her not to tell outsiders about Xu Qing's moon cake making.
It was a proud thing for Xu Qing to make moon cakes and sell them. But if you know the huge profits, you can't help thinking that something is wrong.
Yun Xiaoqian keeps this in mind.
In the evening, Yun Xiaoqian goes to pick vegetables in the field with a basket. Two women come to chat with her and casually ask Xu Qing what he is doing at home all day?
Yunxiaoqian think of Qinshu brother remind her words, just don't know.
"Didn't you just come back from Xu Qing's house? How could you not know?" The woman frowned.
"Nothing..." Yun Xiaoqian was asked what to do.
"Really? But how did the couple go to town so often? "
"My husband saw Hunter Li carrying two big food boxes to town today, and he didn't know what they were carrying?"
"Li Jinmei is also mysterious. She goes to her brother's daughter-in-law's house every day. She doesn't care about the food in the field."
"I guess they must have been looking for something to make money in the town. They're sneaking around and not telling everyone."
The two women guessed as if they were alone, and their tone was full of admiration and curiosity.
Yunxiaoqian don't know whether these two people in the heart with malicious, she said: "even if really have the work of making money, that is also the ability of Xu Qing."
"How capable is Xu Qing?" The woman in the opposite side sneered, "she has a sharp tongue. She can do it. Can't we? It's Li Changting who really has the ability. Unfortunately, it's not our turn to do such a good thing. "
After the two women said that, they left with a sigh, leaving Yun Xiaoqian thinking in the same place.
Today's dinner was made by Li Jinmei. She warmed up the leftover food at noon and fried three vegetarian dishes. The two families sat together for dinner.
After dinner, Li Jinmei saw Xu Qing sitting beside him and said, "ah Qing, are you sleepy? If you're sleepy, go and have a rest. I'll clean it up here. "
Xu Qing came back and said, "hmm? I'm not sleepy. I just see Qianqian today and think of my sister. "
"You say Xu Ying?" Li Jinmei said, "when I went to the field this morning, I saw her go to the river to carry water. This little girl is also very diligent. She can carry water, cut firewood and pig grass every day. She will do any work. She will not worry about getting married in the future."
Xu Qing sighed with a smile: "I wish she would marry someone in the future and would not have to do any heavy work. Just like me. It's a pity that I can't get close to her."
Li Jinmei knows that Xu Ying is now under the control of Xu's grandmother. If Xu Qing gets close to Xu Ying, what good will it do for her? Xu's grandmother can climb up the pole and wants to peel off Xu Qing's skin.
In addition to fear Xu grandma, there are also reasons for not trusting Xu Ying enough.
After all, Xu Qing is a fake sister. If it wasn't for the night before she got married, Xu Ying cried to her for most of the night, she didn't feel anything about this cheap sister.
When I met Yun Xiaoqian today, Xu Qing suddenly thought of Xu Ying, who is about the same size as Yun Xiaoqian.
She thought that after she got married, the hard work of her family fell to Xu Ying, who must have been very hard.
"If you want to see Xu Ying, how about I call her to see you in two days?" Li Jinmei thought about it.
In fact, Li Jinmei would like to see Xu Qing cut off contact with the Xu family, but it's Xu Qing's mother's home after all, and the broken bones are still connected with tendons. Xu Qing's mother is missing her sister, so she can't stop her from seeing her.
Xu Qing wants to say that she doesn't have to. At this moment, when Xu Ying gets married, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet her. However, when she talks about it, she unconsciously responds.
Before going to bed at night, Xu Qing took his temperature and found that he had no fever.
However, she still did not dare to sleep alone, so Li Changting "naturally" moved back to the main house.
"Isn't hui'er afraid to sleep alone?" Asked Xu Qing.
"He's asleep." Li Changting came over after Li Tinghui fell asleep. "I asked him before, and he said he was not afraid."
"When the moon cake is finished tomorrow, let's have a rest and fix the cellar."
"Listen to you."
Li Changting said, holding people tightly.
The next day, Xu got up early in the morning to make moon cakes, and Li Jinmei came early in the morning to fight.
Li Changting went to deliver 20 moon cakes in the early morning, and at noon the man from zuixianlou came and took another 20.
After lunch, Li Jinmei called Yun Xiaoqian over. In the afternoon, several people worked together to make 30 copies and sent them to zuixianlou.
Li Changting came back after delivering the moon cakes, and also brought back the payment for these two days.
Looking at the white money, Xu Qing only thinks that it's worthwhile to be tired.
In a short week, Xu Qing earned more than 140 taels of silver!At the beginning, Xu Qing agreed to give Li Jinmei a salary of one or two for every ten taels of silver she earned. Xu Qing took out fifteen taels of silver and calculated another fifteen taels of silver that Cao Laoliu gave her to make molds.
Today, Yun Xiaoqian came to help, but Xu Qing was busy. She killed two chickens and roasted them together. One of them was taken back by Yun Xiaoqian. It was hard work for her to help.
Where is Yun Xiaoqian willing to accept it? It's not a heavy job. It's just an afternoon's help. She even wants to give her a roast chicken. She doesn't dare to accept it.
Don't take it.
Xu Qing asked her to call Li Qinshu and stay at her home for dinner tonight.
See again refuse Xu Qing will be angry, cloud Xiaoqian can only answer.
After Yun Xiaoqian left, Xu Qing settled the payment to Li Jinmei and gave her Cao Laoliu's share.
Since she said yes, Li Jinmei didn't refuse. She didn't spend much money at ordinary times. She kept the money, and she would take it out where the two families could use it in the future.
However, Cao Laoliu was shocked when he heard that Xu Qing had paid 15 liang of silver. He waved his hand and said, "no, no, how can I use so much?"
"Molds are not worth money. What's worth money is craftsmanship." Xu Qing explained, "in the future, I still have a lot of places to use my brother-in-law. I'm worried that I'll be given less money."
In the future, Xu Qing wants to expand production. In this era when there is no steel or plastic and everything needs to be replaced by wood, there is a trustworthy carpenter with unique craftsmanship. Xu Qing doesn't know how relieved he is.
In terms of the shape of the cake, her family is the only one.
When Xu Qing said this, Cao Laoliu accepted it and waited for Xu Qing to arrange work for him in the future.
Everyone was very happy after making money. Today is the Mid Autumn Festival again. Xu Qing and Li Jinmei had a very good meal in the evening.
Li Qin also had no elders in his family. He had to fool around on New Year's day, unlike other people's brothers and sisters who gathered together and enjoyed a reunion dinner.
