The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 40 The most beautiful woman in Zigui County
Early the next morning, Yunmo sent Xiao Douding to Qiu's house next door as usual, and hurried on the road with Qiuyue.

Qiuyue also sold straw sandals and straw mats woven by his brother. Yunmo carried a pick on his shoulders, and there were pots of Guanyin tofu in the left and right bamboo baskets, and some fresh hibiscus flowers and tender spring buds. Chatting, I didn't meet a talkative woman along the way, and I entered Zigui County without knowing it.

The city gate was wide open, and the people who came to the market came in and out, which was very lively.

Early in the morning, after driving for five miles, Qiuyue didn't feel tired. Xiao Nizi walked through the crowd swiftly with her back on her back, and Yunmo followed closely behind carrying the burden.

"Sister Mozi, hurry up, there are still vacant stalls over there." Entering the city, Qiuyue saw a good vacant stall on the street ahead, and rushed to the market to urge Yunmo, with an anxious look on her face, for fear that the stall would be stolen accounted for.

Seeing her anxious and pretty appearance, Yunmo smiled slightly, and quickly quickened her pace.

After grabbing the booth, the two took out their things and arranged them. Qiuyue was quick to do things, and she was impatient.

"Sell straw sandals, straw mats, sell Guanyin tofu, and the fragrant and smooth Guanyin tofu."

She had a loud voice and yelled loudly, the voice spread far away, people were coming and going on the street, she was just about to drink a few times, when someone came around to ask the price.

Qiushi’s straw sandals, the straw mats are durable, good-looking, and the price is a penny cheaper than other places. In less than a quarter of an hour, Qiuyue sold two pairs of straw sandals and a straw mat, which can be said to be a good start.

After entertaining the guests, Qiuyue saw that Yunmo's tofu business hadn't opened yet, so she took the time to ask curiously: "Sister Mozi, isn't Wenxianglou buying Guanyin tofu? Why don't you just send these Guanyin tofu to Wenxianglou?" Go, stay here and sell, you are tired and can’t sell for a good price, and you will always lose money.”

Yun Mo smiled slightly, and said in a calm manner: "I have my reasons for doing this, and you will know later."

Seeing that she looked confident, Qiuyue didn't say anything more.

After getting to know Yun Mo in the past few days, she deeply realized one thing.

The thoughts and plans in Sister Mozi's heart are not something she can figure out. In the past few days, she always has a feeling that Sister Mozi is a golden phoenix in distress. One day she will spread her wings and fly high. She just needs to work hard with Sister Mozi. , you will definitely be able to do something.

Seeing that Qiuyue stopped asking questions, Yunmo turned her head and continued to take care of the stall in front of her. She also followed Qiuyue's example and yelled loudly: "We sell Guanyin tofu, which is fragrant, soft and smooth. You can come and have a look if you pass by." Take a look."

With the experience of going to the market last time, this time, she can also let go of her hands and feet, and she feels that selling in the street is not so embarrassing.

"Drive..." At this moment, a beautifully framed carriage with a sachet on it, Jinling's carriage slowly came from the east end of the street, and the horse's hooves trampled across the road. Back off to both sides of the street.

"Look, it's Miss Jinling."

"That's right, there is a golden bell hanging on the carriage, it's Miss Jinling's carriage."

As the carriage got closer and closer, among the crowd, several Confucian scholars in long green shirts were discussing in low voices, and all of them cast admiring glances at the direction the carriage was coming.

"Qiuyue, who is this Miss Jinling?" Yunmo glanced at the carriage, saw the common people standing on both sides of the street, as if welcoming a goddess, and asked Qiuyue casually.

Qiuyue withdrew her envious gaze and said, "Sister Mozi, in the past, you didn't go to the county for a year or so, and you didn't care about everything. It's no wonder you don't know who Miss Jinling is? This Miss Jinling is from Zigui County. Not only that, Miss Jinling has both talents and looks, and a kind heart, she can be called the most talented woman and the most beautiful woman in Zigui County."

The most talented woman and the most beautiful woman, no wonder those Confucian scholars are so fascinated.

After Yunmo inquired casually, she lost interest in Miss Jinling. What she has to do now is to find ways to make money so that Xiao Douding can live a good life.

"Selling Guanyin tofu, smooth and tender Guanyin tofu." A cry of selling rang out and spread far away. Everyone was paying attention to Yuan Jinling, but Yunmo was the only one who was shouting loudly, which was very unpleasant.

Sure enough, as soon as she fell, almost everyone followed the sound and looked at her. The expressions on their faces were exactly the same, as if they had seen a monster, especially those few green-clothed scholars who looked unhappy. .

"Hui Zhen, tell the coachman to stop the carriage." At this moment, a voice like spring water dripping sounded in the carriage, very pleasant to the ear.

"Yes, miss." The servant girl Huizhen answered, opened the curtain, and ordered the driver to stop the carriage.

After the carriage stopped, Yuan Jinling asked Huizhen again: "Just now, is there someone selling Guanyin tofu? Isn't this Guanyin tofu a new delicacy launched by Wenxianglou? How can there be any small street stalls selling it?"

Huizhen also felt strange, she stretched her neck to look at the side of the street, and saw Yunmo's stall at a glance, then she turned back to Yuan Jinling and said, "Miss, there is a village woman selling Guanyin tofu."

"Get out of the car and go buy some."

"Miss, if you want to eat Guanyin tofu, you can go to Wenxianglou again. Who knows if the street stalls are not clean? How can you get into your golden mouth, miss? If it turns out to be good or bad, my lord and madam should worry again."

"It's okay, my lady is not rich and precious, why can't I eat things bought from street stalls, you just go and buy them."

"Yes, miss, the servant is talking too much."

In the carriage, the conversation between the master and the servant was transmitted outside the carriage, and the people who were a little closer to the carriage heard the conversation clearly, and each of them gave Yuan Jinling a thumbs up in their hearts after listening to the conversation. thumbs up.

Miss Jinling is so kind, she really deserves to be the number one beauty and talent in Zigui County.

In particular, Yuan Jinling's voice was as soft as spring water dripping and as gentle as spring breeze blowing willows, which made the Confucian scholars feel elated and excited.

After Huizhen was trained, she stepped off the carriage with a delicate woven flower bamboo basket, and then walked towards Yunmo's stall.

"Girl, how do you sell Guanyin tofu?" She walked to Yunmo's stall, looked at the green Guanyin tofu, and asked the price.

"Fifteen coins a catty." Yunmo replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Last time, the pot of Guanyin tofu sold to Wenxianglou weighed about [-] to [-] catties, and with three recipes, it sold for a total of one tael of silver. Today, it is sold at a street stall. After all, the threshold is low, fifteen per catty Copper plate is also reasonable.

"Girl, how much do you want to weigh? I'll weigh you right away." Yun Mo asked again with a smile.

"Come on, don't play tricks. My young lady is the daughter of the county magistrate." Speaking of Yuan Jinling, Huizhen had a proud face.

"Okay, I promise I won't play tricks on you." Yun Mo didn't want to be as knowledgeable as a maid, so she picked up a wooden scale borrowed from Qiu's house, weighed two catties of Guanyin tofu, wrapped it in tung zi leaves, and handed it to her.
