Chapter 14 Makeup, Ordinary Women

An Yi showed a quiet smile: "Xi'er is the best at drawing, can you draw a portrait for your mother so that she won't make a mistake when she uses this face next time."

"??"

This is?Mother?
Yu Yan's eyes widened, and she pinched the servant girl in disbelief.

"Miss, it hurts!" Hong Zhu gasped.

"Hey, can you?" An Yi looked at her with frowned eyebrows, "Can I draw a portrait of my mother?"

"Yes, yes." Yuxi recovered from the shock, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

My mother is willing to let me take a portrait.

Even a fake face should be beautiful.

Time passed by, and a lifelike beautiful woman appeared on the paper.

Holding the drawing paper, An Yi looked more and more different from herself in the mirror.

"Hey, do you think this painting looks like when my mother didn't put on rouge?"

Yu Yan took a look, it was true.

"Mother, I..."

"This is the first portrait my son painted for my mother. Mother has to put it away."

"Mother……"

"Please, Xi'er, draw another picture for my mother, it must be exactly like this face."

Yuxi took a small breath, "Mother, don't worry, Yuxi will definitely draw well."

Definitely, definitely draw this face.

"Mother believes in you."

Time passed by, and finally, a slightly ugly portrait of an ordinary lady was completed.

"Xia'er is too powerful."

An Yi took the drawing paper and compared it with herself in the mirror, "It's exactly the same, exactly the same."

Yu Yan's big eyes flashed, and there was a smile in his eyes.

He said modestly that he was so-so.

The two were talking, and the servants came to report that Fan Ying had returned.

After the words fell, Fan Ying shouted at the top of her voice.

"lady!"

"Ma'am! I'm back from digging wild vegetables."

People arrive before they speak.

An Yi's portrait was handed to Jie Xiang, she put on her veil, and then went out.

Yuxi, Hongzhu, and Jiexiang who went to hang a portrait followed behind.

As soon as An Yi walked to the door, Fan Ying, who was striding forward, put the basket on the ground.

"Ma'am, this is the tenderest wild vegetable now, and..." He gave An Yi a handful of wild vegetables in his hand.

He peeled off the cloth covering the back basket, revealing the contents inside. "This is the mushroom I went to pick today. Grandma asked me to bring it to my wife to taste."

An Yi: "Mushroom?"

Correct.

Mushrooms grow best during the rainy season.

She took a quick look, and found that the exposed mushroom was well protected, the whole flower.

"Take the scale for knotting incense! Two cents a catty."

mushroom!Food!

"No, no, no." Fan Ying repeatedly waved his hands, "This is for my wife and ladies to try, no money is required."

"want."

What is the standard of living of the Fan family? She has to pay for the food they take.

"No, grandma specifically confessed, you can't have it."

"Okay! No, just go, my Marquis Mansion can't afford disobedient people!"

An Yi glared at him angrily, and Jie Xiang stuffed the money into Fan Ying's hand: "Okay! Madam will give you some. Don't forget, your family still needs you to support the family. Be generous and earn money later." Talk about money."

Then I took the weighed basket and opened it, only to see red, white, green, black, all kinds of things in the basket.

The blossoms are placed neatly, and then one layer is placed and another layer is laid.

Seeing these mushrooms, An Yi suddenly thought of Ms. Chen who was aggressively eating and humiliating people with money today.

The wild vegetables are delicious, one dish costs 100 taels.

With so many kinds of mushrooms, she makes a lot of money not only for 100 taels, but for 50 taels.

God!

Money, money!It's all money!
If she opened a restaurant and had customers like Ms. Chen coming every day, she would make a fortune sooner or later.

right!Open a restaurant.

Rich people are tired of big fish and meat, and poor people are tired of wild vegetables, so change the taste.

Earn the money of those who are tired of eating big fish and big meat.

"Red, green, white, white, black, maybe it's a poisonous mushroom? It's a mess, can these be eaten? Don't make people eat it badly." Jie Xiang complained.

"Miss Jiexiang, don't worry, you can eat these!" Fan Ying patted her chest confidently.

An Yi is still particular about mushrooms.

Before wearing the book, she lived in the countryside, and she knew whether wild vegetables and mushrooms were edible or not.Fan Ying sent them, these are the things that are often eaten in the mountains.

"Aying, I believe in you." An Yi gave Fan Ying an affirmative look: "However, this season is the best time for mushrooms. You can find someone to pick them for me. The more the better."

"Madam likes to eat, so our family picks them, but there are many in the mountains, so we can pick a lot of them casually, and we don't need help from others."

"I want dried mushrooms."

"??"

"Dried mushrooms are fresh mushrooms that have been washed and dried in water."

This kind of mushroom can be stored for a long time, and it is the best to cook soup in winter, especially now, there are so many fresh ones, it will be wasted if they are not preserved.

She can't let go of her plan to make money in winter.

Fan Ying blinked her eyes, scratched her head with a dry smile: "Yeah, it's okay, I thought only fish can be dried, and mushrooms are also fine."

"Yeah! I'll give you twenty cents a catty for dried clean mushrooms!"

"Too, too many."

"It's not too much." An Yi said: "Ten catties of fresh mushrooms is worth one catty of dried mushrooms. With the effort of washing and drying, twenty cash is not too much. But it's not too much."

"Madam, don't worry, Fan Ying will definitely complete the task."

Xindao: When grandma gets angry, she gets angry.

An Yi added: "Fresh mushrooms are still delivered to me every day. The packets have not been opened, and they cost three pennies per catty."

Fan Ying's eyes lit up: "Yes."

"We still need wild vegetables."

Fan Ying: "Yes."

An Yi winked at Jiexiang, and she immediately gave Fan Ying a tael of silver.

"Ma'am, is this?"

"Deposit."

"Okay. Fan Ying will definitely complete the task." Fan Ying tremblingly took a tael of silver.

Take a tael of silver for the first time.

Fan Ying returned home excitedly, and told her grandma and younger brother about the incident, both of them were also excited.

Especially Fan Jun.

"According to what the elder brother said, the mushrooms need to be cleaned and dried, and some of them may need to be blanched. In this way, Madam Hou's price is very fair."

Fan Ying was overjoyed: "Ah Jun, let's pick mushrooms tomorrow!"

At this moment, Grandma Fan froze over.

"Listen to Ah Jun."

"Understood, grandma." Fan Ying pouted aggrievedly.

This situation seems to be commonplace.

As if Fan Jun didn't see it, he blinked and said nonchalantly: "How about this, brother, let's split up and tell the neighbors in Hutou Lane to pick mushrooms. Madam needs so many mushrooms. Then we will find someone to pick them."

"Ah? Then we don't want to make money?" Fan Ying.

"Boom!" Grandma Fan went over again, "Listen to Ah Jun."

Fan Ying pouted.

Fan Jun said: "Mrs. Hou will give us [-] Wen a catty, and we will give others [-] Wen a catty. When they sell dried mushrooms to us, we will sell them to Madam Hou. In this way, we will earn two Wen per catty, and we will earn two cents per ten catty." Ten Wen. Besides, we don’t need to contribute.”

If he earns money in this way, he will have more time to study.

"good idea."

Fan Ying rubbed her forehead, "Grandma, let's go out and tell everyone that we can't let mushrooms lie in the ground."

After finishing speaking, the two brothers rushed out of the house and went door to door telling everyone that they collected dried mushrooms.
