Concubine's plan

Bai felt awkward about the sudden arrival of guests. In order not to worry her daughter, she had no choice but to sit with Lu Shaoyuan.

Wei Jinghan on the side was very puzzled. She didn't understand how things turned out to be like this even though she was willing to die to give a thank you gift. She already hated Xun Yingju in her heart. She was just a village girl. Why should she argue with me? Thinking of her family background and knowledge, which was not comparable to that of a small village girl, Wei Jinghan felt much better.

Xun Yingju didn't know what these people were thinking. She had a lot to do. There was no shortage of eggs at home, she just needed to buy some village specialties. After leaving the courtyard, he went straight to the neighbor's house on the east. Now is the slack season for farmers. All the men in the village go out to do part-time work, and their daughters stay at home to take care of the children. Some diligent women raise chickens and ducks. They can buy eggs to supplement the family income. Buying chickens and ducks also earns money.

Standing at the door of the yard, Xun Yingju saw her aunt, who she thought was in her thirties, busy in the yard, and asked,"Auntie at home?" The middle-aged woman looked over and saw that it was the girl from the Xun family who had just moved in, with a look on her face. He didn't understand, but he still came out to open the door and invited Xun Yingju into the yard.

After entering the yard, Xun Yingju immediately asked without waiting for the other party to ask:"Auntie, I came here today to ask if your chickens and ducks are for sale?"

"Girl, please call me Aunt Zhao! Do you want to sell chickens and ducks?"Aunt Zhao's mother-in-law's surname is Zhao, and the children in the surrounding neighborhood call her Aunt Zhao. She knew that the Xun family girl hired the Cai family to work, and she felt envious in her heart. She regretted why she didn't have the shame to help when the Xun family first came here. If the relationship between the two families was Well, maybe the Xun girl can still ask her to do some work

"Uh-huh. Xun Yingju nodded repeatedly, but saw that the other party still had a confused expression, and explained with a smile:"Auntie, I've been making braised meat in town these days. I want to buy some chickens and ducks to make braised meat together and sell them in the town. If my aunt has eggs, that's fine too. Sell ​​it to me and I'll collect it together."

Hearing what Xun Yingju said, Aunt Zhao immediately showed a smile on her face, nodded and said:"It's for sale, it's for sale. Do you want it every day, or do you want one or two first?"

This aunt is a smart person. Xun Yingju praised it in her heart and said with a smile:"To be honest with you, it's my first time to make braised chicken and duck. I don't know how it will be sold in the town. Today I want to start with my aunt. I’m buying two chickens and two ducks here. If they sell well, I’ll be able to buy more tomorrow. Xun Yingju paused for a moment. If the business is really good, the chickens and ducks in the courtyard may not be able to supply it. After launching spicy duck heads, duck wings and other duck products in the future, sales will definitely go up.

Thinking of this Xun Yingju felt that the money in her hand was not enough, so she wanted to solve the immediate difficulties first, because she was not sure how the sales would be tomorrow and could not make a promise, so she had to ask:"How to sell my aunt's chickens and ducks?"

"The morning market in the town sells live chickens for 5 cents per catty and live ducks for 4 cents per catty. The girl buys them directly from home, giving you a pound cheaper."Aunt Zhao said with expectation.

Xun Yingju knew this well, but she just wanted to sell more. She didn't explain it and said with a smile:"Aunt, today I want two chickens, two chickens and ducks."

"Okay, I'm going to help you catch chickens and ducks."When Aunt Zhao heard that the little girl really wanted to buy it, she immediately laughed and cracked her mouth to the base of her ears.

Xun Yingju said that she could help catch the chickens and ducks, saying that catching chickens and ducks is a strenuous job. How can such a delicate and tender girl do such strenuous work?

Okay ? It was easy. Aunt Zhao caught two chickens and two ducks and tied them up with hemp rope. After weighing them, the chickens weighed fifteen kilograms, and the ducks were heavier, eighteen kilograms in total, and one hundred and forty yuan in total.

Looking at the tied Xun Yingju was also very happy about the chickens and ducks on the ground. She said that the products agreed with the customer tomorrow were ready, and she smiled and said:"Auntie, don't worry, I have some things to do. I wonder if there are some novel dishes in my auntie's house. I have a guest today." , you know, my family just arrived in the village and there is nothing at home. If your family wants me to buy some together,"

"There was not much food at home, and we had almost nothing to eat in one winter. We only had some cabbage, vegetables, radishes, and potatoes. Oh, there are some dried vegetables, you can eat them just by soaking them."Aunt Zhao shook her head and said

"Okay, auntie, can you sell me some potatoes and dried vegetables?" Xun Yingju said she wanted to buy it without even thinking about it.

Aunt Zhao didn't understand that the potatoes were not a good thing, and they tasted like slop. She didn't know what the little girl was going to do with it. She was worried that it wouldn't be good for people to eat and return it, so she laughed and said:" No matter what you want to buy or not, I’ll just give you a few."As he said that, he took out six pieces of potatoes and some dried vegetables from the kitchen and handed them to Xun Yingju.

"How good is this, we can’t let my aunt suffer a loss."Xun Yingju took the potatoes with one hand and handed over 135 silver coins with the other hand, and paid for the chickens, ducks and potatoes together. After counting the money, Aunt Zhao sighed in her heart, this little girl has really made money. She was generous and much better than the little girls in the village.

After coming out of Zhao's house, Xun Yingju went straight home, thinking that she still had the braised food at home that she had specially left for her family yesterday. Yesterday's bean sprouts had teethed today. Although The chickens were not long enough, but they were edible.

When they got home, Chun Mian had already boiled hot water. Cai Erzhu had also taken care of the pig heads and immediately killed the chickens and ducks. Seeing Uncle Cai skillfully removing the feathers from the chickens and ducks, Xun Yingju felt that she had spent every day. It was really worth it to invite someone for fifteen yuan.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Since there were distinguished guests and there were no men at home, Xun Yingju called Yusheng to invite Cai Lizheng to come to her house for lunch and accompany the guests. Yusheng answered and ran Inviting people, she prepared the lunch herself. She soaked the dried vegetables first, then washed the pork belly, and made a braised pork and pork belly with dried vegetables, a vinegar-crusted potato shreds, and prepared a braised sauce and a stir-fried portion. Bean sprouts, a salad of wild vegetables. Yu Sheng went to the mountains to dig up the wild vegetables in the morning. They were originally planned to be eaten for lunch, but now they can only be used as side dishes. Fortunately, there are enough iron pots at home, so I steamed the dried vegetables, pork and rice first. Stew the braised pork in another pot. Then start to wash the potatoes and cut them into shreds. The potatoes are cut into average thickness and look very beautiful. The wild vegetables are washed and stirred directly with spices.

A table of meals When the table was served, it was noon, and there were only two masters and servants, Wei Jinghan, at the table. From time to time, he looked towards the back of the thatched house, showing impatience from time to time. The children in the courtyard saw all this and spoke on their lips. He didn't say anything, but he looked down on this girl in his heart. He obviously wanted to be with that handsome brother, but he said that the ground was dirty and not suitable for girls. He was just saying one thing and doing another.

They all saw it, then She still clings to a handsome brother who clearly doesn't like her. I really don't know what the rich girl is thinking. If they had turned around and left earlier, they would never stay here and eat a meal from the master's house for nothing. It would be all meat. , they can’t eat it several times a year.
