Even Qiao Wei was surprised by how popular they were today despite making a hundred more than yesterday.
It's not that I didn't think it would sell well, but I didn't know it would be so easy to sell.
If this continues, she will be able to save next year's land rent in a short time.
Qiao Wei is in a good mood.
The children are also in a good mood. Although they don't know how to do business, they can't help but feel lively and happy when they see that other people's stalls are deserted and their own stalls are overwhelmed.
Qiao Wei bought three candied haws for the children as usual, and then she and Aunt Luo started to close the stall.
Just halfway through the receipt, a high-quality carriage stopped in front of the stall, and a maid in light green bijia stepped down from it, the one who was walking with Fang's mother.
She came over in a hurry: "Ma'am, I want twenty red bean glutinous rice cakes!"
Qiao Wei smiled: "Sorry, girl, you're late, it's already sold out."
The servant girl frowned in disappointment: "Ah? It's sold out? Why is it so fast? I left the capital early in the morning and came here to buy your dim sum!"
Although Qiao Wei didn't like Fang's mother and that young lady, she didn't have a bad impression of this honest and simple maid: "If I knew you would come, I would have saved some for you."
The maid thought for a while, and took out a tael of silver from her purse, "Then why don't you leave it for me tomorrow, and I'll make a deposit first."
They had only met once, and she dared to place a deposit when she had a dispute with her master's daughter—
Qiao Wei couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm a stall, not a shop, aren't you afraid that I'll take your money and run away?"
"Ah? Will you?" The servant girl opened her eyes wide.
Qiao Wei didn't know what to say, so she smiled helplessly: "No."
The maid patted her chest in relief.
Qiao Wei said again: "What snacks do you order, and how many?"
"Don't you only have red bean and glutinous rice cakes? What else?" the maid asked.
Qiao Wei put away the stool and tied it up: "I made some taro snowballs today, and they sold well."
The servant girl said without hesitation: "That will cost twenty!"
"You eat so much by yourself?" Qiao Wei asked in surprise.
The maid said: "It's not for me, it's for Mrs. Ji. You don't know, the pastry I bought from you last time was given to Mrs. Ji by my lady. I must buy some more to go back. But it seems that I can’t buy it today, so you can definitely come tomorrow!”
"Okay." Although I don't know who that old Mrs. Ji is, but the person who can be courted by the daughter of the Enbo Mansion must be either rich or noble. Qiao Wei returned the money to the maid, "One hundred Wen is enough, do you have some change?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The servant girl took the silver and took out a small string of money from the purse, which happened to be one hundred Wen.
I didn't meet Shuanzi's father today, so Qiao Wei and Aunt Luo rented a carriage in the town. Now that the business is good, they are not stingy with the money.
Excluding the round-trip transportation expenses, I still have 300 cash left over from my earnings today, which can buy 100 catties of rice.
Just half a month ago, the family of three didn't dare to expect to eat white rice every meal. Now, let alone rice, there is also meat every meal, and the children's complexion is obviously much better. Is still very thin, eat more tonic.
Qiao Wei cut some pork belly and wanted to buy some calcium-enriched shrimp for the children, but because winter is not the season for abundant shrimp, and it was shipped from the south for thousands of miles, the price can no longer be described as expensive.
If she bought it for seven or eight catties, she would go bankrupt.
Finally bought a fish.
The fish was stewed hot, and the pork belly and carrots were braised in soy sauce. The family of five (the little ferret is also counted as a member) ate happily.
After eating, Qiao Wei went to the forest, mainly to check whether there were any small animals hooked, and change to fresh bait by the way.
To her surprise, the doors of the two cages were closed today, and the bait inside was gone. But there is a pheasant in one cage, and there is nothing in the other cage, only a tael of silver.
This is... bought her prey again? !
Who is it
After thinking about it yesterday, Qiao Wei ruled out the villagers one by one. Everyone is poor and would not spend a tael of money on game. Even if they wanted to buy game, they would go to Xu Dazhuang directly, not "take" directly from a certain cage.
Could it be... are there still people living in this forest
Qiao Wei returned to the yard suspiciously.
Mrs. Luo has just finished washing the children's hair. They all have wet hair, like chicken coops, and wet eyes, so cute.
Qiao Wei couldn't help rubbing the heads of the two.
Aunt Luo looked at the pheasant in her hand and said, "Did you catch it? This chicken weighs at least three to five catties, and it can be sold for a good price."
"Not for sale." Qiao Wei put the chicken into a cloth bag, handed it to Mrs. Luo, and said, "I've worked hard for you these past few days, so you can use it to replenish your body."
Aunt Luo doesn't want it.
Qiao Wei said: "I know that you don't want to get something from me by helping me, but I want to honor my elders, and you must fulfill my wish."
When it came to this point, Aunt Luo couldn't accept it, hesitated for a while, and said: "There is something, I wanted to tell you a long time ago."
"What's the matter?" Qiao Wei asked.
Aunt Luo said: "Your sister-in-law and her younger brother's table, you can go with me, I can see that your elder brother wants to call you, so I didn't say anything because I was afraid you would be embarrassed."
"She" used to be famous in the village for being a loner. Luo Yongzhi was afraid that he would invite her, and she didn't want to go, but it would be embarrassing if he had to go because of affection.
She was worried that she would not have the opportunity to repay Aunt Luo, even if Aunt Luo didn't mention it herself, she was ready to mention it, and she readily agreed.
After Mrs. Luo left, she went into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow's morning. She didn't sell overnight items, and all the dim sum was made in the early morning.
Considering that she had to close for a day to go to Cuiyun's brother's house the day after tomorrow, she decided to do more tomorrow.
When she was ready, she entered the house, and for some reason remembered about the prey.
I wonder if that person will come tomorrow.
Wouldn't it be good to charge him a tael of silver every time
A hare costs a hundred cash, and she sells it to someone for a thousand cash. She is a Qingdao prawn in disguise!
Conscience is a little disturbed.
Qiao Wei touched her chin and decided on the entire price list.
She had seen the characters of this era in the town, which looked a bit like Xiaozhuan. Her regular script in traditional Chinese characters is not bad, but Xiaozhuan is really difficult for her.
After a moment of hesitation, she decided to draw with stick figures.
First draw a rabbit on the thin wooden board, and then draw a white mosquito next to the rabbit, which sounds like a hundred words.
When drawing the price of pheasants, she drew a black mosquito and added eight small stones under the black mosquito, which should be obvious.
After drawing, she put the wooden sign in the cage in the mountain forest.
