Chapter 127
Let people like Le Sishu guard such a strong military stronghold, who said that the current emperor belongs to the Mingjun? Xiao Ningxue curled her lips mockingly.

After leaving Xueyue Tower, the four of them went to the restaurant.

The location of the restaurant is not so on the street, it is a bit deserted.

From a distance, I saw a big fire burning outside the shop, with a teapot on it, rolling tea, and most of the people sitting around the fire were villagers from Taohua Village, Xiao Wenjie and the others were also inside.

Seeing Xiao Ningxue and the others coming, the big guys hurriedly made room and greeted them warmly. "Xue girl, Dong Shi Xiaoyue is like a cloud, come quickly, come over and enjoy the fire."

After Xiao Wenjie and the other half-sized guys greeted each other, they got up and got out of the way. Xiao Ningxue and the others sat down and followed the big guys to start a fire.

Second Aunt Xiao brought tea bowls, picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of tea for each of them, then dug out the yam buried in the fire and gave each of them a piece.

When it is cooked, it is white and tender after peeling off the skin, powdery and fragrant.

Xiao Ningxue asked puzzledly while eating, "How did the yam get out of such deep snow?"

Second Aunt Xiao smiled, "Are you afraid of the depth of the snow? As long as you can find yam vines, you can dig them out no matter how deep they are."

Xiao Ningxue was right when she thought about it, this is a famine year, as long as there is food to eat, who would be reluctant to spend such a little effort?
After eating the yam, Aunt Wang grabbed two handfuls of chestnuts, and everyone chatted while cooking.

The boys and girls in this room also left, they were all women, and everyone brought the topic to the newly opened 'Xueyue Tower'.

"The girls in Xueyue Building are more coquettish than fox spirits. Everyone, please take care of the men at home, and don't be seduced by them."

"Isn't it? I heard that the girls there are divided into upstairs and downstairs, grades, grades, and grades. Pretty girls pick up customers upstairs, and the price is expensive. Ordinary ones pick up customers downstairs, and they only charge some rice."

"Then you have to go back and lock up the rice. If the man in the family steals it, you can't go to that fox's den for fun?"
Xiao Ningxue saw that they were so worried about their men, so she smiled and said: "Auntie, auntie, sister-in-law, the men in our Taohua Village are not that kind of men, you can rest assured."

But how can women believe it? This is the era of three wives and four concubines, and it is normal for men to steal food outside.

Everyone just said one thing anyway, cover your wallet tightly, lock up your rice and food, and keep all your belongings safe.While listening to the scriptures of the women, Mrs. Sai Wu came over on the broken snow.

"Where are you, Xue girl? I have something to discuss with you."

"What are you in such a rush for? Sit down and talk if you have something to say." Everyone pulled her to sit down together and poured tea for her.

Sai Wu's sister-in-law took a few sips of tea, took out a pair of rabbit earmuffs from her pocket, smiled and said to Xiao Ningxue: "Girl Xue, I plan to make these earmuffs for sale, and I want to ask your opinion. "

Sai Wusao is the fifth daughter-in-law of Sai Qiliang, the patriarch of the Sai clan. Her surname is Yang. She has only been married into the Sai family for a few years. She is in her early twenties, with a big face and a strong body.

When the shop was just divided, she asked Xiao Ningxue if she could open a mountain store, and Xiao Ningxue even praised her.

Unexpectedly, with Xiao Ningxue's compliment, Mrs. Sai Wu would be interested in doing business, and the Shanhuo shop opened in the next street and the business was pretty good.

This time she wanted to collect some rabbit skins and make these earmuffs for sale, so she came to ask Xiao Ningxue.

Xiao Ningxue took a look at the rabbit earmuffs she made. The stitches are fine and the workmanship is exquisite, which is very good.

Immediately he boasted, "Sister-in-law Wu really has a brain. If you sell this, you will definitely have a business." There are many children with frostbite ears, and adults will not be reluctant to part with the two money, especially in the merchant village, they are not short of money .

"Well, I think so too." Mrs. Sai Wu blushed and nodded, "It's just that this thing is your idea, girl Xue. Even if I make it and sell it, it will be your [-]% profit."

Xiao Ningxue was surprised when she heard this.

In ancient times, there was no such thing as a patent. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sai Wu wanted to sell this item and even wanted to say hello to her, and even counted her profits. This character is also very good.

But how could she share her profits? It's freezing cold, and I don't know how cold it is to do needlework.

Look at Mrs. Sai Wu's hand holding the tea bowl? The back of her hand is red, swollen and cracked from the cold. Just by looking at it, you can tell how hard it is to earn such money!
Xiao Ningxue immediately waved her hand: "Hey sister-in-law, you sewed these earmuffs stitch by stitch. I don't have the face to take [-]% of your profit. You can sell it at ease."

The aunts and aunts next to her also laughed and said: "They are all from my own family. Fifth sister-in-law is hardworking and willing to earn this hard money, so let's earn it."

"Girl Xue, my sister-in-law can thank you." Sai Wu's sister-in-law blushed and thanked her, then got up from her side and said, "Then sit down, and I'll take the rabbit skin away."

"Fifth sister-in-law wait a moment." Xiao Ningxue stopped her, then took out a box of chilblain ointment and stuffed it into her hand, "The back of your hand is cracked from the cold, rub this medicine on the back of your hand before going to bed at night."

Mrs. Sai Wu suddenly couldn't bear it anymore: "I just took advantage of you once, and now I take away a box of medicine from you. How can this be done?"
Everyone laughed at the side: "Which one of the tribes in our village didn't take advantage of Xue girl? Later, when she and Brother Wen have a baby, we will sew more small clothes and hats for the baby, and we will repay it."

Xiao Ningxue didn't have a mother, so it was reasonable for everyone to say that, Sai Wusao agreed happily when she heard it.

"Hey! That's fine. I'll wrap up the bellyband for summer and the padded jacket for winter." After speaking, he left cheerfully.

Xiao Ningxue looked at the smoky fires lit up on this street so far away, wondering: "There are so many firewood in Qiganling, why is there no one selling charcoal?"

The women smiled and replied: "Everyone is burning firewood, who is willing to spend money on charcoal?"

Sai Dongshi smiled and looked at the 'Xueyue Building' in the north, "No one was willing to spend this money before, but in the future there will be."

Xiao Ningxue nodded, "Xueyue Tower is a gentle town for men, if there is no charcoal fire, wouldn't it be as cold as ice? They will buy it no matter how expensive it is."
"That's right." The women realized later, "Isn't it possible to burn charcoal for sale? We can do this kind of thing too."

The mountains were covered by heavy snow, men went hunting in the mountains, and most of the women stayed at home. Now that they heard that the charcoal could be sold, everyone was excited.

There was also a woman who said worryingly: "It's hard work burning charcoal. I have to burn the fire day and night for three days, and I can't live without people at night."

"Then we will guard it during the day, and ask the men in the family to guard it at night. Isn't that the end?"

"Yeah, we dug all the charcoal kilns in one place, so everyone can take care of them."

After chattering among the women warming up the fire, they decided to chop firewood and burn charcoal. Everyone found a way to make money, and thanked Xiao Ningxue and the others for reminding them.

The fire stopped burning, and I hurried to chop firewood.

There is plenty of firewood in Qiganling, and one car can be cut in a day, and the charcoal kilns were dug out very quickly. By the evening of the next day, six or seven charcoal kilns had been dug on the hill to the north of the village. .

Counting the time on this day, the charcoal kiln on the other side of the hill was about to produce charcoal, so Xiao Ningxue was going to buy some charcoal and burn it back.

My uncle's family has been injured, and the wound hurts when the weather is cold, and I can't stand the cold, so I need to buy more charcoal and come back.

Walking to the entrance of the village, they met two apprentices of Gao Butou, Xiao Zhang and Zhao. When they heard that Xiao Ningxue went to the charcoal kiln to buy charcoal, they pulled two sleds to help.

From a distance, I saw that there was a crowd of people, everyone looked panic-stricken, and several people rushed over at a faster speed.

"What's the matter, Third Aunt Wang? What happened?"

Third Aunt Wang's eyes were bloodshot with anxiety, "Your Third Uncle Wang is gone, and no one can be found anywhere."
