Chapter 33 Pepper

033 Pepper

Xi Lei discussed his marriage with his parents, except that Ru Xia was not happy, Xi Lei's family heard that Xi Lei married a girl from the town, so they felt that the family must have a good background and must be rich.

Because the family ran out of food, Xiyue could only take the pepper powder she made to sell in the town. She didn't want to sell this at first, after all, fresh things tend to attract the attention of others.

The situation at home is still unclear, so she originally wanted to cover it up for a while.

But there was no food, and Xiqing refused to contribute, so Xiyue couldn't really wait to starve.

In order to sell pepper powder, Xiyue also borrowed a piece of meat, and then brought a crock pot. When she arrived in the town, she had to use a small bonfire on a stone stand, and then cook the broth with pepper, which was really fragrant!
"What is this? It smells good!"

The daughter-in-law of a rich family happened to pass by this small market street and stopped to ask curiously.

In fact, many people were quite curious when they saw Xiyue selling food here.

There are also some snacks such as steamed buns and noodles in the town, and there are also stoves dedicated to cooking with clay and paper.

It's just that Xiyue didn't have the money to buy it, so she lit a little fire under the earthen pot.

"My lady, this is a seasoning I found by accident, I call it pepper.

This seasoning can be added to broth or stew to make the meat more delicious, so why don't you try it first. "Xiyue first took a little out of a small bowl, scooped it up with a small wooden spoon and drank it first.

Putting down the small spoon and small bowl, he took the big wooden spoon again, filled some in a small bamboo bowl and handed it to the daughter-in-law.

In fact, Xiyue did this because she was afraid of causing unnecessary troubles. After all, everything in this era is a bit chaotic. There are laws, but you may say that they are not always implemented properly.

She didn't want to get into trouble if something happened because she was selling a little food.

So she drank the broth first, and then sold it to customers, so that many people would not be easily framed if they saw it.

After all, if something fresh is poisonous, she can't tell.

The little daughter-in-law was obviously very satisfied with Xiyue's way of doing it. She was a little hesitant to buy the fresh food, but the girl who sold the food was from a rural village, so she was actually not at ease.

Seeing that the little girl drank it by herself first, it would be no problem to eat it, so her face was filled with joy, and she asked, "How much is this?"

Xiyue said: "This kind of seasoning is more precious, 60 light crystals per catty, one catty can be used for a long time."

There are very few types of seasonings in this world, so Xiyue sets the price like this, thinking that if it is too expensive and no one buys it, it will not hurt to lower the price.

"60 light crystals? It's a bit expensive, but the taste is really good, why don't I have a catty first."

The young daughter-in-law obviously has some wealth, because the clothes are made of good materials, but she just tries to buy new things.

Anyway, Xiyue was very happy to open the business, and hurriedly said: "Okay, wait a moment." She hurriedly borrowed a scale from the vendor at the side of the stall, and then weighed a catty.

In fact, Xiyue doesn't know this thing, but fortunately, Yuanshen often sells some things, so she does recognize it, so it's not too difficult to integrate memory and reality.

There was the first person to eat crabs, and then a few more people came up, you half a catty and I half a catty, and soon Xiyue sold a total of 15 catties of pepper powder in her hand.

Xiyue found that the gap between the life in the village and that of the small rich families in the town was really huge.

She sometimes thinks that these little rich people have land, and then lease it to the poor, and start some small businesses by themselves, which is faster than ordinary people.

Sure enough, the foundation determines the level, and the gap between the rich and the poor is really not that big.

Then, what do the dignitaries in the inner circle and even the royal city look like?
She is even more curious!
Xiyue also brought back a lot of pepper these days, and after drying it, she had to grind it with a stone scoop, and she didn't have the best and most convenient pepper, so she was always making do.

So so much pepper, but it took her a lot of effort.

But looking at the shiny crystals inside the animal skin purse, Xiyue was very happy, after all, this was the first labor income in her two lifetimes.

I also said that I gave the hawker 3 light crystals as the rental fee.

It’s not difficult to borrow it so it’s not difficult to borrow it next time, not to mention paying the thank you fee, the peddler was very satisfied and praised her for being a good person.

Then she cleaned up the fire, and she ate the remaining broth by herself. After packing up the things, she put them all into animal skin bags, and Xiyue went to the cloth shop.

She bought a small piece of soft linen to go back to make underwear. It is not a wonderful feeling for the underwear to be too thick.

I picked a small piece of good cloth and had to spend this money, otherwise I would not be able to do what I wanted to do.

In the end, I gritted my teeth and bought a better one.

Then I bought some burlap and prepared to go back to make a pillow. The original pillow was too short and torn, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her neck.

Besides, using wormwood to block the door is to prevent mosquitoes, but it is inconvenient. I have to buy window screens for the house and install them.

Then she went to buy wheat, rice, needles, thread, and scissors, which are all necessities in life.

Scissors are really expensive. The iron ones cost 300 light crystals, but Xiyue is not willing to buy them, and the ones made of animal bones cost 50 light crystals.

Then I bought the most common bow and arrow, and spent 100 light crystals because of the many arrow feathers.

I also bought small items necessary for daily use, and added small earthen pots, wooden bowls and wooden basins, and once again returned to the state of poverty and emptiness.

"This money is really useless!" Xiyue murmured.

There are a lot of things, all the bits and pieces are packed in animal skin bags, and the rest are put in wooden basins.

There was still a small bag of food to be saved, and just as Xiyue was about to spend the last remaining Guangjing to hire someone to help her transport the things back, her hand was suddenly empty, and the big animal skin bag in her hand was carried by a person on her shoulder.

"Baiyi?"

Bai Yi looked at her and said, "I'll help you."

Xiyue smiled: "You are not afraid of being seen by your mother or others, and then scolding you."

He dared to pick his own window last night, but his family found out.

Due to their reputation, they didn't name them, but Bai Yi was also scolded a lot.

Bai Yi's mother is on par with that old godly woman Hei Yun, and she prefers her other sons.

Bai Yi is also the youngest child. It is not easy for the family to point at him on weekdays, but he is still not respected by the family.

Fortunately, Bai Yi is also a tough-tempered person, and his family members point to him to support him, so it's not too much.

And because I hurt my face from hunting, I heard that there are hidden wounds left by the dark beast on my body, which affects hunting from time to time, and I also take medicine from time to time.
