Chapter 18: Gossip
When Wang heard this, he immediately shouted in a raised voice. "Arro, you're crazy. We managed to save up so much money, and you went to buy duck eggs. Each duck egg costs fifteen yuan, what if all of them are lost? ”
Of course Yang Ruo knew that his mother would think so. She is a woman, she has never done business, and she has never seen the world, so she must be more conservative in her thinking. Let her invest all the money she has earned in the past few days at once, and she will definitely be reluctant.
However, if Yang has his own plans, he will not give up. Otherwise, after half a month, the seven taels of silver will definitely not be enough.
So she reasoned with Wang. "Mother, I have done an investigation, and this time I want to make ordinary duck eggs into a very good food on the dinner table, that is, salted duck eggs made with salt and red mud together. And the time to make this salted duck egg will not be very long, it only takes about a week. But this time, the price we sell will far exceed the price of the Youth League. When the time comes, all the Youth League will be sold out, and the salted duck eggs will be made, and our seven taels of silver will not be a problem at all. ”
Wang was not optimistic, although she didn't understand Yang Ruo's reasoning. But she didn't want to take any risks. "Anyway, I don't approve of it, you take out all the money."
Yang Qing also chimed in: "Ah Ruo, you can't honestly sell the Youth League. Let's sell it together, so that we can sell out the Youth League as soon as possible, isn't it better. Or if we go to a farther town to sell, then Yang Zheng shouldn't come over. ”
Yang Qing's proposal is relatively conservative.
However, Yang Ruo has already made up her mind, and since she has made up her mind, she will not change it easily. "I earn the money, and I have the right to dispose of it."
Yang Ruo shook off this sentence and went back to the room to rest.
Wang Shi was angry for a long time, and then pointed at Yang Daming and said: "See, I earned some silver, and my ass went to the sky." Daddy, you said earlier that I wasn't very arrogant, so you would have an idea. ”
Yang Daming was also thinking carefully, and after half a sound, he said slowly: "I still think Ah Ruo's method is better." Our dumplings are almost sold out. If we don't think of a way now, when we pay off all of Aunt Wu's money, our family will have to drink the northwest wind. Ah Ruo took advantage of the fact that there were still a few days to continue to use our idle silver and turn it into new silver, which is the best way at present. ”
Wang didn't expect that Yang Daming would say the above words.
"Hmph, what kind of ecstasy did Ah Ruo drink for you, and you even let her mess around."
"You have the ability to figure out a better way. If you can't think of it, let Ah Ruo give it a try, maybe things can turn around. ”
Wang didn't speak again, but entered the kitchen with a sad face.
It is said that five buckets of rice made the man bend his waist, and their family, for seven taels of silver, was tossed enough.
This night, the dinner of the Yang family was Yang Qing's sale of the remaining dozen youth leagues.
There was no word all night, but no one had a good night's sleep.
Only Yang Cui was not bothered by the troubles of her family, and still went to the mountains in the morning to cut firewood, and came back in the afternoon with a bundle of firewood. Then eat and sleep.
Yang Cui is eighteen years old this year, she is tall and powerful, although her brain is not very good, but she is willing to endure hardships and put in her strength, so the work of chopping wood was handed over to her.
If there are other things, she can't do it.
Wang went to the field early in the morning, and the cabbage went away. After thinking about it all night, she didn't think of a good way, but the Youth League had to do it.
Yang Ruo began to teach Yang Qing and the Wang family to do the Youth League a few days ago, in addition to not knowing how to do styling, ordinary Youth League will do it.
The taste will also be adjusted, so Yang Ruo no longer cares about the affairs of the Youth League, and only wants to make salted eggs as soon as possible.
As soon as it was dawn, Yang Ruo got up. I didn't sleep well last night, and when I woke up in the morning, I didn't seem to be energetic.
Breakfast was the kind of big cake that was dry and couldn't be bitten, Yang Ruo took two bites indiscriminately, and he didn't have any appetite at all.
She put the family's clothes in a wooden basin and began to boil the water.
When the water was boiling, she soaked her clothes and washed them later.
Yang Ruo's family is so poor that they can't afford to use soaphorns, so they can only use the cold wood ash in the stove. Because the soaphorn here is also used by rich families.
Fortunately, their clothes are the most ordinary materials, so they can be washed casually and sent to the river to be washed, even if they are clean.
Yang Ruo was going to wash the clothes, so he went outside to take a look and buy some duck eggs, and then he had to go to the mountains once and get some yellow mud to come back and use it to pickle salted eggs.
Yang Qing was free, slept lazily, and when she got up, Wang had already come back with a basket of shepherd's cabbage.
After the Wang family came back, they picked Yang Qing up from the bed, and they were busy making the Youth League.
After Yang Ruo washed his clothes, he carried the heavy clothes in the bamboo basket and went to the river to wash them.
When I arrived at the river, it was very early, so there were not many people who came to wash clothes.
There are two aunts here who are doing laundry and chatting at the same time.
Yang Ruo hit it at a glance, a little vacant seat in the upper reaches of the river, where there was a wide and large stone pier.
If you wash clothes by the river, you also need to know how to choose a place.
The first place to choose should be clear, and there should be flowing river water. Another is to find a good slate, the wider and wider, the water flow below is good, so that the clothes can be easily rinsed.
Seeing Yang Ruo coming, one of the little daughters-in-law stopped talking and stopped her gaze.
"Yo, Ah Ruo has come down to the river to wash clothes, you are feeling better."
This little daughter-in-law is the east of the village, the daughter-in-law of the old Li family, surnamed Zhao, who is the bag of the village. As long as there is something big in the village, after her big mouth, the whole village, even the people in the upper and lower villages, can know about it.
Yang Ruo inquired about Zhao and had a general impression, because he heard that this woman likes to tell right and wrong.
This would ask her if she was well, and it seemed to have a hint of schadenfreude, so she just replied faintly, "Much better" and washed her clothes.
The clothes of the peasant families are generally stained with mud and the like, and their poor families cannot afford soap horns, so they can only wash their clothes with firewood ash, so the cleaning work is very troublesome.
It should be beaten with a mallet and cleaned over and over again.
Stretch all the clothes and put them in the water one by one, and wait until the water that the clothes bring out becomes clear, and then they are clean.
Seeing that the water here is so cool, even the air he breathes is refreshing, and Yang Ruo's chaotic mood is slightly better.
After saying hello, Yang Ruo concentrated on washing the clothes, and the two little daughters-in-law over there continued to chat about the topic just now while washing the clothes.
But Yang Ruo always felt that when these two people spoke, their expressions kept glancing at him.
At first, Yang Ruo didn't pay much attention to it, but when she heard two Yang Cui in a row, she pricked up her ears and listened.
After listening for a while, she came up with an idea.
So she immediately stood up, made a tiger face, and asked, "Auntie, where did you hear what you said just now?" Why are you involved with my sister Cui. ”
