Chapter 188： pepper vine

"Sister, I told you that the shop belongs to Bao'er, and she paid for it herself. From now on, it will be her dowry. Sanlang said that no one can be the owner of the shop."

Chunniang cracked six eggs into the pot, then used a pair of chopsticks to stir up the gnocchi.

“·······” Jiang Yunniang stood up and angrily ran back to Jiang Dalang’s house.

When I saw my mother, Mrs. Jiang Liu, she started to complain: "Mom, why don't you just ignore the mischief that our third brother and his family are doing?"

"What's the matter?" Jiang Liu frowned: "Why is Sanlang doing such nonsense?"

Jiang Yunniang pulled my mother into the house, tugged on her sleeves and whispered: "Chun Niang, she actually said that the shop was Ying Bao's dowry. Tell me, are the third brother and the others confused?"

Ms. Jiang Liu brushed her daughter's hand away and glared at her: "What do I mean? That shop belongs to Yingbao. Sanlang said that the money to buy the shop was earned by Yingbao herself. There is nothing wrong with giving her a dowry."

“How much money can she earn as a little baby?”

Jiang Yunniang suddenly remembered that Yingbao seemed to be growing golden ears, so she changed the topic: "Even if she earned the money to buy the shop herself, she is not of our Jiang family's blood. You really want her to keep it in your hands." So much money…”

"Shut up!" Ms. Jiang Liu was angry, pointing at her daughter and said, "I think you are the one who has lost your mind! Don't say such things again. Yingbao is a child of our Jiang family, and no one can talk about blood!"

Jiang Yunniang was shocked by my mother's harsh words and stared at her blankly, unable to recover for a long time.

Mrs. Jiang Liu sighed, feeling sorry for her daughter after all, and whispered: "Yun Niang, if nothing happens, you can go back. Don't mention the shop again. If your father hears what you just said, he can beat you with a stick. ”

Jiang Yunniang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she felt extremely aggrieved.

You just told the truth, why can't you tolerate it? Sure enough, a married girl is like water thrown out of the house. Who in her mother's family will take her seriously in the future?

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Jiang Yunniang stood up and rushed out of the house, shouting to her son: "Yukun! Yukun! Go hitch the mule cart and let's go home!"

Seeing that her eldest sister was about to leave suddenly, Sister-in-law Jiang did not stop her. She just said, "Sister, please wait a moment. I will pull some kohlrabi and bring it back to you to eat."

The kohlrabi is very fresh and tender at the moment, and is crunchy and sweet when eaten raw. My eldest sister is from the city and does not grow these at home, so she has to bring some back every time she comes to her parents' house.

“No!” Jiang Yunniang refused. She waited for her son to get the mule cart ready, then climbed into the cart and left.

Ms. Jiang Liu watched her daughter leave and sighed.

What a good girl, she was not originally of this temperament. Ever since she and her son-in-law went to the county town to do business, she has become more and more calculating.

Today, the plot was actually blamed on his brother. Alas, luckily Saburo didn't hear what his sister said, otherwise it would have been really ugly.

After breakfast, Yingbao and her second cousin went to the orchard.

Jiang Quan climbed a tree to pick apples and talked about the shop with his little cousin.

What my aunt said makes sense. Once the apples and pears are sold out, the shop’s business will indeed plummet.

Because there are not many people buying preserved fruits and golden ears, not a pound of them will be sold for several days.

Without the fresh fruits at home to support the scene, the shop would be almost deserted.

“Yingbao, what will happen if the fruits are sold out?” Jiang Quan asked worriedly.

Ying Bao put the big apple she picked into the basket and said, "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. You don't have to worry."

At worst, setting up a wonton stall in front of the shop will always work out.

But this is only a last resort and she will not do it unless it is absolutely necessary.

The food stall seems to be profitable, but in fact it is only enough for food and clothing, and it is not as profitable as growing golden ear.

But the shop has to operate, because you have to pay a city tax every month. If you don't pay it overdue, the tax collectors can take away your shelves. It is really difficult to sell golden ears in a shop, because people who can afford it go to big medicine halls to buy them, and will not come to her little-known shop.

From this point of view, it seems that I might as well develop some mass products, such as the rouge powder made by Er Auntie.

There are so many flowers and trees growing in her cave that there are so many flowers to pick that it would be a pity not to throw them away.

If it didn't work out, she would make fragrant pills and sell them.

There are many shops selling pills in Fucheng, such as styrax pills, sobering pills, patchouli, clove, frankincense, agarwood, sandalwood, etc. You can make them for eating or wearing.

Opposite her shop is the county school. Which of the talented students doesn’t use incense? For headaches, hot brain, stomach pain, diarrhea, etc., I would first take the pills I prepared myself, and then I would go to the medicine hall for medical treatment if it didn't work.

And if you have Pupil Spring, you can grow a lot of fragrant flower materials, and you can also grow certain medicinal materials, as long as you can get the seeds.

No matter how bad you are, you can buy medicinal materials in the pharmacles, and add a little bit of feed in, and the medicine meatballs are guaranteed to get sick.

After picking several large baskets of apples, another basket of pears, and then two baskets of cantaloupes from the vegetable garden, Jiang Quan loaded the baskets onto the carriage, then called two friends to go to the county town together.

Before leaving, he touched the gourd hanging on the fence of his garden and muttered: "It should be ready in a month, and then we can sell it in the county town."

Last year Jiang Quan made a lot of money selling gourds, so this year he planted a lot of them in his vegetable garden, waiting for the gourds to mature and sell for money.

Li Dao and Wang Dashan also planted a lot of gourds, but their gourds grew slower than Jiang's, and they don't know why.

Ying Bao sent Jiang Quan away and then went to find Chu Chu.

Chuchu has been picking pepper with Erni and the others these days. After picking, the pepper has to be sent to the river to be soaked in water and peeled.

When Ying Bao was not at home, Chu Chu lived with Er Ni. The two ate, slept and worked together.

I took my two dogs to the pepper garden and saw my father and several villagers cutting pepper vines, apparently ready to insert the pepper vines.

“Sanlang, let’s make an agreement. One hundred yuan for a seedling is one hundred yuan, but you must ensure that it can be planted alive.”

The speaker was Nishimura Muramasa Chen Changsheng. "We want five hundred trees, fifty strings in total, and you won't lose a penny when the time comes."

Jiang Sanlang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What, you want to take something without paying? Then don't buy it. There is a long queue in the nearby village waiting to get it."

The villagers in Xicun became anxious upon hearing this. They glared at Chen Changsheng and said, "Uncle Chen, can you say a few words less?" Wait until Miao is dead. If you talk now, you are asking for trouble.

Chen Changsheng saw that Jiang Sanlang was really standing still, and said quickly: "I have brought the money, you can cut it quickly." He pointed to the robe beside him, "Fifty taels of silver are all in it."

He was really afraid that Jiang Sanlang would be stubborn and not give Xi Cun the pepper vine.

The villagers in my own village have been waiting for a long time. The golden ears and cotton seeds can’t take turns, and even the pepper vines can’t take turns.

Seeing that Xicun was about to become the poorest village in the entire township, Chen Changsheng felt anxious.

Li Dayong and Li Eryong, who were with Jiang Sanlang, immediately ran to check the amount of silver. They counted the silver in it and nodded to Jiang Sanlang: "Exactly fifty taels."

Jiang Sanlang then used the scissors to cut the vines.

Yingbao admires her father very much. He can exchange every crop in the house for money.

In fact, she still has a lot of pepper vines. If each chopstick can be sold for a hundred coins, then she can make a fortune even without running a shop.
