Chapter 103: New Year's Goods
There are many things to prepare for the lunar month, among which New Year's goods are the most indispensable.
At noon on this day, Yuxi looked at a plate of sausages on the dinner table, his heart jumped, and he deliberately pretended to be very surprised, and asked, "What is this?" ”
Kufu explained with a smile: "Girl, this is a sausage, I heard that it is selling very well outside. I bought a lot of them at the shopping office today, and the grandmother asked people to send two catties to the girl to try it. Girl, in addition to this sausage, there is also bacon, which is said to taste very good! ”
Yuxi naturally knew that this was a sausage, and she wanted to sell it for money that day, but later she was worried about being suspected by the old lady. Yuxi asked, "Who made this?" Yuxi guessed in his heart that this was probably something that was poured out by the county lord of Heshou. Except for her, Yuxi can't think of anyone else.
Speaking of which, Yuxi really admires the county lord of Heshou, she is really capable. She found out everything she knew, and she didn't know how much money she made? It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and Yuxi can't help but be envious. Ahem, there is an old saying that holds up the bold and starves the faint-hearted. The county lord of Heshou is bold so she can make a lot of money, but she is so timid that she can't even drink the soup. Yuxi muttered to herself, "I don't know what else else can be freed up." "The thing that the county lord of Heshou poured was not spread in the Korean government, and Yuxi guessed that everyone probably thought that the county lord of Heshou was too weird, so they didn't dare to use what she had vacated.
Kufu shook her head and said, "This slave doesn't know. But I've heard that this one is very expensive, and it costs 100 yuan a pound! "A pound of pork costs 12 yuan, and this pound of sausage costs 100 yuan, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it. Of course, this rare thing can only be eaten by large families.
Yuxi took a piece and nodded: "Yes, it's very fragrant." "I bought spiced sausages this time, which is exactly the taste that Yuxi likes.
After lunch, Yuxi walked around the yard. This is also because her Rose Courtyard is too small, like Yuchen's Tingyun Pavilion, just walking in it is enough to do.
Yuxi was in his yard, thinking about things as he walked. I don't know if the county lord of Heshou has noticed her abnormality. If you find out, will you attack her? Look at the county lord of Heshou is not a soft-hearted person. Thinking about things too much, Yuxi even forgot about time. Until Kufu came over and reminded: "Girl, it's time, it's time for you to take a nap." ”
Yu Xi smiled, how could two quarters of an hour pass so quickly.
The next day, the purchasing office brought a lot of things to Yuxi, including eight kinds of sugar in various flavors, as well as biscuits, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and so on. There aren't many things, and each one is about two or three pounds.
The mother-in-law who sent the things said: "The grandmother said that these things are all fresh, and she specially asked the old slave to send some to the girl." "In general, if there is something fresh in the capital, everyone will buy some. One is to pursue the trend, and the other is to prevent others from saying that they have little knowledge.
Yuxi has never been interested in candy and other things, but these things have to be prepared. When the Chinese New Year comes, someone comes to her yard to sit, and there is something to entertain. This is also the Ye family's love for Yuxi and the Qiu family, and they bought it for her extra, but others don't have this benefit.
After dinner, Yuxi went to the rosin courtyard to thank Ye. People sent so many things with their hearts, she couldn't say thank you without thanking her.
Ye didn't expect Yuxi to come over to thank him for this matter, so he smiled and took Yuxi's hand and said, "What is the fourth sister doing so politely." ”
Here, the maid immediately brought Yuxi a cup of rose tea.
Yuxi looked at the rose tea and smiled. It seems that the sister-in-law knows her preferences very well, and she is not hypocritical, she took the flower tea with both hands, drank two sips and put it down: "Sister-in-law, why are so many fresh things coming out this year?" "Although Yuxi guessed that it was made by the county lord of Heshou, it was not implemented!
Ye didn't think much about it, just smiled and said, "These things are all made by Heshengtang, but I heard that Heshengtang is the property of the county lord of Heshou." By the way, the sausages and bacon in the first two days were also poured out by the people on the county lord Zhuangzi. ”
Yuxi was speechless: "I heard that the county lord has opened a lot of shops this year, and the business of each shop is very good, which is really capable." "The county lord of Heshou is eager to exchange everything he knows for money. In other words, the county lord of Heshou also wants to circle so much money at the risk of being speculated, what is she going to do!
Ye smiled: "Who said it wasn't!" However, this is also the fortune of the county lord, and envy cannot be envied. "Don't talk about it before, just the New Year's goods, and the county lord of Heshou has made a lot of money.
Yuxi talked to Ye for a while, and then said goodbye and went back. She is mainly here to say thank you, and the meaning is enough.
Ye Shi sent Yuxi out of the door, turned around, and couldn't help but sigh: "Fourth girl, it's really hard to approach. "She has been trying to have a good relationship with Yuxi for the past two years, and she has sold Yuxi very well, but Yuxi has always been indifferent to her.
Ye's nurse Hua Pozi said: "The master still has to take care of his body, everything else is empty." "Giving birth to a son is the foundation of gaining a foothold in the Korean government.
Ye touched his stomach and said with a wry smile: "I want to too!" "The prince has no concubines, she is alone, and the husband and wife are also very affectionate, but they have not been pregnant for two years. But it's not useful to be in a hurry.
Ye's physique was already a little cold, but she was pushed into the lake in the winter of the year of marriage, and what was worse was that she was having her menstrual period at that time. Since then, her palace cold has become more and more powerful. I have been conditioning my body for the past two years, but the problems I have fallen are not good. The Ye family, the heir, did not dare to tell the old lady and the Qiu family about this matter, otherwise her life would definitely be sad. The Ye family flattered Yuxi, but he hoped that Yuxi could help her say more good things in front of the Qiu family and give her a little more time. It's a woman who wants to have her own children, but doesn't want to raise other people's children.
Mrs. Hua whispered: "Grandma, do you want to change the doctor to take a look." Both of them were glad that Dr. Bai was not very good at gynecology, otherwise he would probably have been exposed.
Ye shook his head and said, "No need, let's use it first!" "It's going to be ineffective.
The main courtyard is not far from the rosin temple, and Yuxi went to the main courtyard again. Seeing that Qiu's face was unnatural, Yuxi smiled and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?" "With the Ye family helping to take care of the housework, the eldest aunt is much easier than usual.
Mother Li whispered: "Madame asked someone to probe Mrs. Duan, but Mrs. Duan did not respond. "The Duan family and the Han family are not on the same road, even if Yuxi helped Duan Xinrong back then, only the two of them move around frequently at the same age, and the Han family has no relationship with the Duan family.
This result was expected by Yuxi: "Auntie, don't worry, my second brother will definitely find you a sister-in-law who is better than Sister Xinrong in the future." Although Duan Xinrong is a good friend, the ones in front of him are definitely his aunt and second brother.
Qiu was just a little depressed, but not angry. Marriage is a good marriage between two surnames, and if the other party does not agree, he can't force it: "It's sweet for you." ”
Out of the main courtyard, Yuxi didn't go home, anyway, they all came out to go shopping, and this time they went to Tingyun Pavilion.
Mama Gui's least favorite is Yuxi, there is no one. Because as soon as Yuxi came, Yuchen's plan for a day had to be disrupted. No, Yuchen didn't practice anymore, so he chatted with Yuxi.
Seeing that the melon seeds brought by the maid were green, Yuxi took one and put it in his mouth, smelled the fragrance of tea, and couldn't help but smile: "Third sister, this thing was also bought from Hutchison Hall?" ”
Yuchen waved his hand and asked all the maids and women to go down. When there were only two people left in the room, Yuchen said, "I bought it from Hutchison." In addition to melon seeds, there are also peanuts and so on, and there are many flavors. ”
Yuxi smiled: "It's really difficult to be the county lord." "She's never heard of these things before, and she's never heard of them. The county lord of Heshou must have eaten it before, otherwise he wouldn't have made it so delicious. Of course, even if he has eaten with the lord of Shou County, it is also the people of the princess's mansion who have studied it.
Yuchen was reluctant to discuss the county lord of Heshou, even if he was very weird with the county lord of Shou, but he didn't have much intersection with them: "It's about to be the New Year, haven't you sent New Year's goods to Zhuangzi yet?" ”
Yuxi smiled: "Almost all the things on my Zhuangzi can be sold." "Anything that isn't sold is not good, and it will definitely not be sent to her.
Yuchen smiled: "I know." The things on my Zhuangzi should arrive tomorrow. What are you missing? I'll send you what I have here. ”
Yuxi is not polite to Yuchen, it is really that Yuchen has too many good things, not bad: "I want to make neck and knee pads for my grandmother and aunt, and I want to find some skin." If you have any, keep some for me. At first, Yuxi was reluctant to ask for Yuchen's things, but after a long time, Yuxi was no longer restrained. Anyway, she doesn't need it, and those things are piled up in the warehouse, which is quite wasteful.
Yuchen said, "When the things arrive, I'll give you more." You also make yourself some big clothes. "Yuxi wears very little, and she feels cold every time she sees Yuxi. In terms of physical elements, Yuchen is far worse than Yuxi.
Yuxi is reluctant to make big clothes, she grows too fast, she can't wear it this year and next year, it's too wasteful. Moreover, she is not afraid of the cold, she only has a padded jacket in winter, and a jacket is enough. If it weren't for the maids around her on weekdays, she wouldn't even want to wear the coats of those years when she went out.
The next day, Yuchen's things arrived, and Yuchen picked the best pieces of skin and sent them to Yuxi, including a tiger skin. Shiqin was distressed when she saw it, and said, "Girl, let's keep this tiger skin for ourselves!" ”
Yuchen said: "No, give it to the fourth sister!" Yuchen is very sure that this tiger skin Yuxi will not use it himself, and will use it to make hand and knee pads for the old lady.
