In the afternoon, the carriage stopped in front of a majestic and quaint mansion. On the plaque at the main entrance, there were two big characters in gold - Ji's mansion written in a flying dragon.
This is a place where so many people want to go in, and so does she. It's just that with her current status, she still can't walk through the main entrance, but it doesn't matter, she will be able to soon.
Accompanied by the servant girl, the girl entered Ji's residence by herself.
In the simple and clean courtyard, the girl saw Mrs. Ji who was admiring the plum blossoms.
Mrs. Ji was wearing a crimson purple beanie, a lotus-colored skirt, and a pearl on her forehead. She was graceful and luxurious, with an extraordinary bearing.
"Xi'er kowtowed to the old lady, the old lady is blessed and safe." The girl kowtowed respectfully, demurely and gently.
Mrs. Ji showed a smile on her face: "Sit down, the plum blossoms planted by meditation are blooming, you can take a look with me."
"Yes." The girl replied, looking at those delicate and beautiful plum blossoms, as if she saw the person who planted the flowers through the flowers, a shyness flashed in her eyes.
The maid moved an embroidered stool and placed it next to Mrs. Ji's rattan chair. The girl sat down gently and presented the peachwood and silver brocade box to the maid, "Xi'er just came back from the Bodhi Temple. I have nothing to take with me. The old lady bought some snacks."
The maid opened the food box and presented it to Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji has seen the world before, and this kind of little trick won't surprise her. She just took a sip for the girl's face, and after just one sip, her expression changed.
The girl looked at the old lady's reaction, and smiled lightly: "Is the old lady still used to eating?"
Mrs. Ji finished eating a whole red bean and glutinous rice cake, and picked up the second one with insatiable desire: "Where did you buy it?"
The girl smiled and said, "I bought it in Rhino Town."
"Rhinoceros Town?" Mrs. Ji paused holding the hand of the sweet cake, and looked at the servant woman beside her, "But the one we passed by last time?"
The servant girl replied, "Exactly."
The girl was slightly taken aback: "Madam, have you been to Rhino Town?"
"Not only have I been there? I met a great fortune there!" Mrs. Ji smiled brightly, and before the girl asked her what kind of fortune she was, she changed the subject, "Let me ask you, if I choke Hard food in the trachea, how to treat it?"
The girl thought for a while: "If it's the trachea, cut the throat and take out the foreign object."
Mrs. Ji murmured: "That's what she said at first."
"He?" The girl looked at Mrs. Ji in confusion.
Mrs. Ji told the girl that she almost choked to death: "... Fortunately, I met an expert, otherwise you might not have seen me."
The girl's complexion changed slightly, and she straightened up quickly to look at Mrs. Ji's throat. Mrs. Ji smiled and said, "Don't look at it, it's not cut, otherwise how can I sit here and chat with you?"
The girl sat back to the original place in embarrassment: "Xi'er is stupid. But... since he didn't cut his throat, how did he take out the foreign object?"
Mrs. Ji said: "She pressed me a few times, and I spit it out."
"How many times? Could it be Qigong?" The girl asked suspiciously.
Mrs. Ji shook her head: "I don't know about that."
The girl lowered her eyes and said with a slight smile, "No matter what, it's good that you're fine."
Mrs. Ji looked at the little rabbit in her hand and said: "This snack is good. If only Mingxiu is here, he will definitely like it."
The girl's downcast eyes concealed a sense of disappointment: Your lord...you haven't come back yet.
…
Qiao Wei took the silver and left the forest.
The cage is hidden in a bush, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it. Only foraging animals can find it with their strong sense of smell. How did the person who gave the money find it
Could it be Xu Dazhuang
Xu Dazhuang has been hunting for many years, and it seems that it is not difficult to find a trap or two based on clues, but... he can hunt by himself, so why buy it from someone else's cage? Still use the sky-high price of one tael of silver.
The cages contained bait for hares and pheasants, and only they would be fooled.
A hare can be sold in the market for one hundred cash, a pheasant can be sold for eighty cash, and a tael of silver is one thousand cash, which can buy ten hares and twelve pheasants.
These prices were told by Xu Dazhuang, if he bought it, he would never give so much money.
But if it wasn't for Xu Dazhuang, who would come into the forest
Qiao Wei couldn't think of a reason until she returned to the yard, so she simply didn't think about it.
Aunt Luo was trying to settle the accounts, and she was overwhelmed by the calculations, but she didn't notice that she came back empty-handed: "... a total of one hundred and twenty coins were sold, how did you sell them?"
Qiao Wei found wood chips and charcoal pencils, and said while drawing: "I tried three of them, and sold fifteen of them individually, for a total of forty-five cash; sold ten sets of pairs, for a total of fifty cash; someone bought Ten, and one for her, a total of twenty-five coins. This is forty-nine."
Aunt Luo understood when she saw the picture: "Then there is one more? Didn't you make fifty?"
Qiao Wei said: "When there were five left in the end, I only charged her for four, so I gave her one."
"Ah, yes, yes." Aunt Luo nodded again and again, thinking of something, looked at Qiao Wei in surprise and said, "Why do you remember so clearly?"
She was often called a walking computer in the past, and it was not a problem to memorize those precise medical data, let alone this thing.
She smiled and said, "It's good to have a natural memory."
Aunt Luo and You Rong said: "My daughter is capable!"
In the afternoon, Qiao Wei's custom-made bed arrived, and the other party asked if it needed to be assembled. Qiao Wei said, "Do you need to pay more?"
"Yes." The other party nodded.
Qiao Wei shook her head: "No need, I will do it myself."
Those people didn't believe that a little woman could do the carpentry work, and waited for Qiao Wei to pay for them if she couldn't make it. Unexpectedly, Qiao Wei entered the house and installed a bed in less than a quarter of an hour. .
Everyone was dumbfounded.
At night, the children slept in new beds, and they were unwilling to go back to the kang.
Qiao Wei bought the bed for herself, it wasn't too big, and it was cold, but the two children had to squeeze in. She said that she slept back on the kang, and the children crawled onto the kang again.
She finally understood that the little guy just wanted to sleep with his mother.
In the end, the three of them still fell asleep on the warm kang...
The next day, Qiao Wei got up before dawn. Yesterday she made 50 pieces and they were sold out in a quarter of an hour. Today she made 150 pieces: 100 red bean glutinous rice cakes, 50 sweet taro snowballs.
The price is the same as yesterday, still three pennies for one, five pennies for two, and one for ten.
After breakfast, she and Aunt Luo took the children to the town in Father Shuanzi's carriage, and still rented yesterday's booth for twenty yuan.
As soon as she took out the snacks in the basket, she was surrounded by a group of people.
"Why did you come here?"
"Yes, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Is it still five cents and two today?"
Qiao Wei smiled and answered one by one.
"Give me four."
"I want four too."
"One out of ten?"
Yesterday there were quite a few people who bought one by one, and today almost four of them came up, especially the red bean and glutinous rice cakes, which sold out quickly due to the many repeat customers.
Sweet taro snowballs are a new variety. Qiao Wei cut a few as usual for everyone to try. They bought all the ones they tried, and those who didn't try them saw that others bought so many, so they also took out their pockets.
That scene was so hot that the owner of the teahouse opposite was surprised: "Is it really that delicious? Xiao Liu, go and buy two."
Xiao Liu rushed to buy it, but when it finally came his turn, it was already sold out.
