Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 29
After a while, the girl who was sent out to buy flowers hurriedly came to report: "Miss, ma'am."

Miss Zhou lazily put the Book of Songs in her hand, and glanced at her: "Where are the flowers?"

The maid in red lowered her head and replied: "I bought some plum blossoms and narcissus, and kept them at the green waist. Is this servant here to tell the girl a strange thing?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Zhou became interested, she straightened up and said, "Tell me and listen."

The maid in red laughed, "Girl, when I went out to buy flowers just now, I saw someone selling jasmine flowers in the alley."

"Jasmine?" Miss Zhou looked her up and down, doubting, "You're out of your mind, where did Jasmine come from this season?"

The maid in red immediately shouted: "Oh, my girl, how dare I lie to you, I really saw it, it is indeed Jasmine."

Seeing that what she said was true, Mrs. Zhou half-believed and said: "It's really fresh jasmine?"

The maid nodded again and again: "It's fresh. The servant girl saw it. The color is beautiful. It should have been picked early in the morning. It doesn't look wilted at all."

Miss Zhou pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, since what you said is so true, then go and buy some for me now, if you can't buy them, let me see how I can deal with you."

The maid laughed: "You can buy it. I have asked the little lady who sells flowers to wait outside the corner gate, but I don't know how many flowers the girl wants to buy. The little lady sells them a bit expensive."

"Oh, what's so expensive?" Mrs. Zhou asked.

The maid in red looked carefully at her expression, and said hesitantly, "It's twenty cents a branch."

"Twenty Wen" Miss Zhou thought about it and said, "It's not expensive. Although it is nearly twice as expensive as plum blossoms and other flowers, I don't know if jasmine can be cultivated in this season." It took a lot of effort and effort, and it’s normal to be more expensive.”

Seeing that she didn't think it was too expensive, Hongyi heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "Then how many sticks shall we buy?"

"How much does she have?"

"This... I didn't ask in detail, but judging by the size of the basket, it can hold about forty or fifty sticks."

"Forty or fifty..." Mrs. Zhou read a sentence, and after a while said: "Buy them all."

"Ah, I bought them all." The maid in red froze.

Lu'er at the side quickly persuaded: "Miss, you can't do it, flowers are easy to wither, not to mention this cold winter season, if you leave the greenhouse, you may not be able to grow them for two days."

However, Mrs. Zhou waved her hand, "It's okay. I have heard that there is an ancient bronze vase in my mother's place. It can last for a long time if you put flowers in it. I have been curious. Now I just want to see if it is true. Besides, will it be returned later?" Do you want to practice flower arranging, just use this jasmine to match the color, if it is really good, I will win back the flower arrangement class in three days."

Lu'er really wanted to say, girl, you are so naive in thinking, the most important thing about flower arrangement is the flower art vision, not just buying a new flower, and this jasmine might not last for three days, but she swallowed her words go back.

Firstly, he was afraid of hurting his master's enthusiasm, and secondly, he was also afraid of talking too much, so he shut his mouth after thinking about it.

The maid in red got the order and happily went out to buy flowers.

Outside the backyard door, Wen Shu, who was stomping in the cold wind, saw that there had been no movement for a long time, and couldn't help wondering whether the family didn't want to buy it, or thought it was expensive and wanted to waste her time?
Just as he was hesitating whether to go away and continue to sell at the front, he heard the courtyard door open with a "squeak", and the round-faced girl in red came out smiling, with a little arrogance on her face.

"Flower seller, you are lucky today, you met our girl, I want this basket of flowers."

Wen Shu was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately sent the blue flowers to her, saying: "My sister, there are 52 flowers in the basket, and I took them together. I gave the two bento boxes to me, and my sister gave them to me." Money always pays off."

The maid heard the words but didn't take out the money readily, but gave her a sideways glance, and said coldly: "I took so much and only gave away two, the young lady must be too stingy.

Wen Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a stiff smile, "What does that sister mean?"

The maid in red lifted her chin and said: "In this way, this blue stick will be counted as forty branches, and I will give you eight hundred Wen."

Subtracting her two hundred wen at once, Wen Shu is not willing to agree, and besides, she got this flower from that weird world with her own life, so how can it be sold at a low price.

I was a little angry at the moment, but just for the sake of making a living, I still apologized and said with a smile: "Oh, my sister's price has no limit. I also bought this flower from a Taoist priest. The purchase price is already high. If you give me this Once I go, I really don’t have a penny to earn, and it’s the twelfth lunar month, and the family is still waiting to buy rice for cooking.” She made a pitiful look.

The maid in red was not moved at all, and said coldly: "For this price, you can sell it or not."

Seeing this, Wen Shu took the basket back, and the smile on her face disappeared: "Since my sister has no intentions, forget it, I'll go to another house to ask, it's just to amuse me." After saying that, she turned around and left.

She doesn't want to buy it, and she doesn't want to sell it yet.

For Jasmine at twenty cents a stick, it is kind of her to give away two for nothing.

This girl needs kickbacks, and these forty coins are enough, and it's not conspicuous.Piansheng is a greedy person, forty wen is not enough, and he wants to take another two hundred wen from her.

Hmph, she's still starving herself, but she's not in the mood to care about other people's pockets.

When the girl saw that she really turned around and left, she couldn't help being anxious, she had promised from Miss Wu that she would be able to buy the flowers back, if she left, where would she go to find this rare Jasmine.

Immediately standing there, his face turned from red to white and then red again, and finally he yelled bitterly: "Stop."

A sneer flashed across Wen Shu's heart, but he turned around as if he had nothing to do: "What else is there for sister?"

"Forget it, it's not easy to see you, just be consistent, give me the flowers."

Wen Shu was anxious to make money, and was also afraid that the flowers would wither for a long time. Seeing that the other party gave him a step, he broke off the donkey, turned around and handed the basket back.

The maid in red handed her the money, and then closed the door without saying hello.

Wen Shu didn't care if her attitude was good or not. Taking the money she just got, she happily went around a narrow and long alley on the right.

She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she went in in twos and threes, pushed aside the bamboo baskets on top, and brought out a bamboo basket filled with jasmine flowers from the bottom, then put all the baskets back together and covered them. Below is the last untaken flower basket.

In fact, she brought a total of three bamboo baskets with her when she went out today, but when she came to this alley, she suddenly thought of the truth that rare things are more expensive.

If she held all the baskets in her hands, people would not find it rare to see so many flowers. If the price does not go up, it is better to sell one basket at a time. After observing for a while, she hid the two baskets of flowers in the Through this narrow alley that no one passes by.

Sure enough, for some unknown reason, the little lady of the Zhou family bought the whole basket of flowers just now. Wen Shu thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that Zuo just wanted to stand out in front of the little sisters, which is a pity.
She looked at the bamboo basket in her hand, with a sly smile on her lips.

Holding Lanzi on his arm, he walked out of the narrow alley quickly. This time Wen Shu yelled at another alley. Besides her, there were two little flower sellers in the alley.

After listening to it for a while, she knew that one was selling plum blossoms which were the most popular nowadays, while the other was selling daffodils.

At this time, several corner doors in the alley had been quietly opened, and maids in different clothes poked their heads out.

Wen Shu immediately cleared his throat, and yelled: "Selling flowers, selling flowers, fragrant jasmine, put one in a bottle, it will increase the spring by three."

Hearing the yelling, not only the two little flower sellers were stunned, but also the maids who came out to buy flowers at the master's order were also stunned.
