Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

Chapter 95
Liang Shuyan packed her things and clapped her hands: "Er Niu, drive, let's go back!"

Just as he was about to leave, there was a sound of a carriage behind him, and with a hiss, the carriage stopped.

The car curtain slowly opened, and a middle-aged man in his 50s stepped out of the car. He was wearing a blue robe, with a money bag and an emerald green hanging around his waist. Looking at this outfit, one could tell at a glance It can be seen that at least he is a rich man!
"Hey, I remember I don't seem to know this person?"

"Excuse me, you are a woman who sells jelly here at a stall. I want to sell your jelly recipe at a high price!"

Liang Shuyan was thinking about one thing. She did two businesses for about ten days, and the money she earned was not much. She never thought that she could sell the jelly recipe, so she got a lot of money. More money, if she had this plan, she would not contact the county magistrate about raw materials.

She smiled politely: "No, this recipe is inherited from our ancestors and cannot be sold. Also, I want to ask, which restaurant do you belong to? How do you know what the raw materials are and dare to buy them here? My recipe?”

"Hmph, I'm going to tell you the name of our restaurant and I'll scare you to death! You ignorant village woman, how can the things made in the workshop be compared with the things in our Qiongxian Restaurant? How can you make these jelly? It is delicious, but it can only be bought to those lowly farmers, but our Qiongxian Tower receives noble people from the capital every day! Think about it, if your jelly is placed in our Qiongxian Tower, How can we really make money?"

"Oh, since the customers of you Qiongxian Tower are so valuable, how dare the things from our workshops taint the nobles' mouths? Let's forget it!"

When the shopkeeper saw that Liang Shuyan was not a fuel-efficient lamp, he came over with a smile and whispered: "I said, I can give you 80 taels of silver!"

Although the current income of jelly is far from the 80 taels, Liang Shuyan said word by word: "No, no matter what, I can't sell this recipe."

The man's face suddenly darkened: "Don't toast or drink as a penalty. I respect you now and give you this price. Otherwise, I will buy your recipe for 20 cents, so what?"

"It doesn't matter if you talk about it now, it only counts if you can buy it!"

Seeing that Liang Shuyan was not an ordinary woman, the shopkeeper turned around angrily and left.

Zhao Ergou snorted coldly: "Look, this shopkeeper looks down on us country people, and thinks his money is so valuable. Bah, I will let him eat my fists and feet first if he comes again." !”

Liang Shuyan didn't want to make a big fuss over this matter. The influence of shopkeepers like Qiongxianlou in the local area must not be underestimated. They just came to Furong Town to do some small business, and there was no need to be familiar with such people.

If this shopkeeper had evil intentions and deliberately found someone to harm her, wouldn't his jelly business be ruined?She must not offend such a narrow-minded person. She still knew this.

The current sales volume is still good. In less than half a day, all three buckets of jelly were sold out. However, three buckets of jelly are about the ratio of one bucket of water to one or two potato flour. If this continues, there will be less than five yuan left at home. How can I continue the jelly business if I have already bought [-] pounds of potato flour?
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that she should have made a careful calculation with the man just now. If it was 100 taels of silver, she would still be willing to accept it.

She wanted to see where Qiongxianlou could get these raw materials?
But when I think about growing so many potatoes at home, isn’t it just to cope with the jelly business?If we really don’t make jelly anymore, aren’t these potatoes white?
Thinking of this, Liang Shuyan decided: "No matter how much this recipe costs, I can't sell it. Who would sell their own food and property? Am I out of my mind?"

Jin Erniu drove the donkey cart, swaying, and soon arrived at Qingfeng Town. Although Qingfeng Town was relatively poor, she felt a lot more at ease when she arrived in Qingfeng Town. "Mom, shall we go to the market?"

Liang Shuyan nodded: "Well, we're at the entrance of the market. Stop for a moment. I want to buy some things for the Dragon Boat Festival. No matter what, I have to prepare some food for my family during the festival."

Mrs. Zhang saw her mother-in-law's disappointed look, and then comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, the shopkeeper just now, no matter what, will not be in Qingfeng Town. What do we have to worry about when we arrive in Qingfeng Town?"

Liang Shuyan jumped off the donkey cart and glanced at her daughter-in-law Zhang: "Let's go to the market with mother to see if there is some glutinous rice to buy back. Your grandma likes to eat steamed cakes. We can steam them during the festival." Some, and bring back some sweet dates by the way!"

Mrs. Zhang nodded.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the market, I saw small vendors on the roadside. They actually sold sweet dates, rice dumplings, rice dumpling leaves, etc., as well as some steamed cakes.

Liang Shuyan's head suddenly moved: "Yes, we can make rice dumplings and buy them. People in ancient times liked to eat rice dumplings made of honey and sugar water, but I can make some meat rice dumplings and sell them. The price is a little higher than them, no. There must be no market?”

When passing the big butcher shop, Liang Shuyan bought 5 pounds of fat and thin meat and some glutinous rice. When she saw hawthorn on the roadside, she also bought some.

Zhang asked curiously: "Mom, what's the use of this hawthorn? It's sour and can't be eaten. What are you buying it for?"

"The adults are going to celebrate the festival, and the children are also celebrating the festival, so I want to make a candied haws for the children to eat! Let's go, mother, go to the cloth shop in front and pull some pieces of cloth for the children. Come home and give it to us with your grandma. Make a new outfit for each person to wear!”

But Ms. Zhang hesitated: "Mom, no, I still have some clothes I made last time. Why do I have to make them? I just need enough clothes to wear."

When it came to clothes, Liang Shuyan thought of the cloth given by the county magistrate, and said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say that you still have clothes at home. Look, you don't know how to clean yourself up when you go out, dressed like this, Let the county magistrate laugh, my mother-in-law's face is crackling?"

Mrs. Zhang said awkwardly: "Mom, wasn't it because I was in a hurry to leave in the morning and didn't have time to change, so I wore this one that I usually wear at home?"

"From now on, I will wear something nicer at home. I will throw away my patched shirts and don't wear them anymore. People in the village will see them and laugh at how shabby our family is. We can't even afford a single piece of clothing." ?”

"Oh no, people are about to be beaten to death in the gambling shop in front of us. Go take a look quickly!"
