Otherwise, they would be reluctant to give her that oily and salty dish, and they would have asked her to eat brown rice and corn buns with the servants long ago.
It's a pity, this bitch doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, so he doesn't like to eat the leftovers. Well, from now on, I'll eat these two dishes every day, and I'll eat these two dishes every day. When will I eat these two dishes? When will I eat them again? Give her something else to eat!
Mrs. Ding gave some instructions, and the mother-in-law obeyed.
So in the evening, Shen Ruomei's dinner was these two dishes again. When Shen Ruomei summoned up the courage to ask the reason, the mother-in-law replied very simply, "Our master and wife advocate frugality and never waste things. If the girl doesn't take this After the food is finished, I won't give you another food!"
Hearing this, Shen Ruomei felt like crying.
Since she was a child, she has always been the princess of the family. Although the food at home is not good, she can eat any delicious food. She has never eaten leftovers from other people's food, or drool from other people. Why did she eat the food in her stomach? It's disgusting to death!
She stared at it for a while, gritted her teeth, and took off a silver ring from her hand, and stuffed it into the woman's hand.
"Ma'am, I really can't eat this kind of food. Please help me pour it out secretly. I bought this ring for seven hundred Wen. Please sell it for me. Give me five hundred Wen." That's it."
If she wanted to live a better life, if she didn't eat the leftovers, she had to have money.
But she has no money now, and she has spent all the ten taels of silver that Mr. Ding gave her as a betrothal gift. I can find a way to get my own money.
The mother-in-law weighed her ring, curled her lips and said, "Girl bought it for seven hundred coins, but when you sell it, you may not be able to sell for seven hundred coins. Let me see, this ring can sell for five hundred coins at most." Baiwen."
Shen Ruomei clenched her fists, "Then, just give me back the four hundred and fifty Wen."
The old woman smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay, who told me to be kind, it's just that the leftovers, if I take them out, I'm afraid it will arouse others' suspicion. If the lady finds out, it will be terrible! Let me help you Eat it!"
"Thank you very much!" Shen Ruomei said gratefully.
Shen Ruomei was also grateful to the old woman wholeheartedly, but she didn't know that she was secretly happy that she could eat these leftovers.
Shopkeeper Ding and his wife were stingy by nature, and they never asked their servants to have enough to eat. The servants in the family could only eat half full every day, and they basically worked hungry.
The leftovers that Shen Ruomei dismisses are extremely rare delicacies in the eyes of this woman. They can fill her stomach and have oil and salt in them. She wants to eat them even in her dreams!
**
Early in the morning, Shen Ruolan got into Brother Dachun's carriage, and went to the county town to hand over flowers. This time, she drew for two months at once, saving her time and energy from running back and forth.
She had already made up her mind. During the time before she went up the mountain, she stayed at home and did not go anywhere. Then, she took advantage of this time to draw all the flowers of this year, and gave them to Mrs. Duan once again. Bring it over, and save money running to the county town every month, it's so troublesome!
During this period of time, she also plans to do some practical things to help the villagers start a side job, so that they can all live their lives.
There is a big pao in front of the village, and she can dig that big pao into a fish pond to raise fish. Digging a fish pond is a big project, and the villagers can take this opportunity to make a small profit.
In addition, she has only opened up seven acres of land in Wolong Mountain, which is 800 miles away, and the rest of the land is still deserted. You can mobilize everyone to open up wasteland and farm. At this time, there is no rush to grow other things, but there is still time to grow some Chinese cabbage.
Chinese cabbage is the most common green vegetable in the north. It can be eaten all year round, and it is easy to store. It is an indispensable autumn vegetable for every household in the winter. Therefore, the market demand is very large. Time to make a fortune.
In addition to cabbage, beans can also be grown. Those things are good to grow and fertilize the fields. Even if the harvest is not very good, one mu of land can only harvest a hundred catties, but grasshoppers are still meat no matter how small they are. beans, you don’t have to worry about starvation in the spring famine!
Potatoes and sweet potatoes are also available. These two crops are vigorous and easy to grow, and have a short growth cycle. Although potatoes and sweet potatoes are not as hungry as corn and millet, it is better than nothing. If everyone goes to open up wasteland, every household can If one mu or two mu of potatoes and sweet potatoes are grown, won't we not have to go hungry this year
When these lands are fertile next year, we can plant corn, sorghum, wheat, and rice. At that time, not only will everyone not go hungry, but they will gradually live a better life...
During the calculation, I arrived at the county seat without knowing it.
She went to the embroidery workshop of Duan's family first, and handed in the pattern, and then saw that the cartoon version of the bibs and bellybands were cute, so she bought a few, and planned to give them to sister-in-law Dachun when she went back. .
After that, she went to eat with Dachun.
Now, Dachun and Shen Ruolan are already very familiar, even if Shen Ruolan asks him to go to dinner, he can go with her openly, no longer push back like before.
The two of them had a simple meal in a not-so-big restaurant, and didn't order anything expensive. They just finished eating wild pork yesterday and the day before, and now their stomachs are full of oil and water, so they can't eat anything too good.
Shen Ruolan just ordered a piece of fish and a piece of cold spinach, and the two of them ate all the rice and vegetables, so they decided to leave.
This time, I came to the county to send flowers and nothing else. After lunch, Shen Ruolan and Dachun planned to go back to Gushantun.
As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, he ran into an acquaintance, and immediately met the three elders Zhang Tou, Zhang Dayong and Zhang Eryong!
The father and son, with three large and small parcels, were full of travel and dust. It seemed that they were going to find Shuanzi on Sishui Street to take a car back.
Seeing Shen Ruolan, Zhang Eryong's eyes lit up in surprise.
"Lan'er, what a coincidence!"
He strode over and stood still in front of Shen Ruolan, his dark eyes were full of surprise and surprise, if he was on the street, he would have shaken her little hand.
Shen Ruolan smiled brightly, and said, "I've heard that you are coming back, and I will meet you here if I didn't arrive first."
Zhang Eryong twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a silly smile: "We have just arrived, and we are going to Sishui Street to find brother Shuanzi for a ride!"
Shen Ruolan smiled and said: "That's just right, I hired Brother Dachun's car today, you just take my car and go, otherwise Shuanzi's car has to wait for someone, I'm afraid it will take at least an hour to start the car !"
Old Zhangtou also didn't meet her, and when he saw Shen Ruolan's sincere appointment, he said cheerfully: "Okay, then let's take Lan Ya's car, it's convenient!"
A group of people got into the car, almost jammed the car with their luggage.
After getting in the car, Shen Ruolan asked about their situation there, Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "No, now that the vegetables are all down, everyone has vegetables to eat, so not many people are willing to pay a high price for five-spice peanuts After eating, we plan to go back and rest for a few months, and come out to cook when there is no food in winter."
However, it's not that the old Zhangtou and the others didn't make any money from this trip, it's just that they made a little less money. After staying in Qingzhou for more than a month, after deducting the expenses of the three of them, there is still more than ten taels of silver left.
They are used to earning a lot of money in Jizhou, so they don't pay attention to such a small amount of money, but for the villagers, earning more than ten taels of silver in a month is already an astonishing astronomical figure!
Old Zhang asked about Shen Ruolan's parents and the business there, and Shen Ruolan answered them one by one.
After talking for a while, Shen Ruolan felt that she should tell Cui Shi and Zhang Jinfeng about robbing her pearl flowers, otherwise she would be too aggrieved.
So, after saying a few words, he told the whole story of that day without any exaggeration or concealment.
After hearing this, the old Zhang was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he kept saying: "This damn old woman, you won't be able to pay for the house for three days, Lanya, don't worry, your uncle Zhuhua has appointed you return…."
Zhang Eryong blushed with embarrassment at the behavior of his mother and his sister, and kept apologizing to Shen Ruolan, "Lan'er, I'm sorry, my mother is a fool, don't be as knowledgeable as her, don't worry, your bead flower is a fool." No, when I go back, I will definitely help you come back..."
