Chapter 54, here comes the challenger
Shu Xin has already figured out what recipes to sell, and is going back to the house to sleep.

But I heard a rattling sound coming from the door.

"Could it be..."

Shu Xin stood up suddenly.

I walked quickly to open the door, and there were indeed a few pheasants tied together at the door, but there was no one around.

Shu Xin's eyes darkened.

Who in the end sent them pheasants?

This person is really a good person. In their most difficult time, he helped them so much without leaving a name.

He carried the pheasant into the yard, closed the gate, and closed three gate valves.

Shu Xin fetched water to wash his hands, seeing the little water in the tank, he became more determined to dig a well.

After closing the chicken, Shu Xin went back to the main room, thought for a while, walked to the door of Liu's room, and called softly, "Mom!"

"Hey!" Liu replied, "The door is open, come in!"

Shu Xin entered the room, lit the oil lamp, and sat down next to Mrs. Liu.

Liu Shi looked at Shu Xin, "What's wrong?"

"The one who brought us pheasants has brought us pheasants!"

Mrs. Liu was taken aback for a moment, and quickly asked, "How many more?"

"Ten!"

Almost two taels of silver, enough to buy a lot of things.

Liu was silent.

Shu Xin was also silent.

After a long time, Mrs. Liu said, "What are you going to do?"

"Tomorrow, I will sell it and replace it with food and vegetables. I have to buy some sugar and eggs at home. Today, they didn't eat any melon seeds, peanuts and bean curds. I plan to buy some to satisfy my hunger for bean curds!"

Mrs. Liu nodded, "Alright, let's buy another red string for Dou Hua, she's always wanted a red string for her hair!"

"..."

Shu Xin said nothing, but nodded.

"Let's live a better life, don't think too much, go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow!"

"Ok!"

Shu Xin went back to his room, but this time he slept very soundly.

Before dawn, as soon as someone else's rooster crowed, Shu Xin called out cauliflower and washed his face with cold water.

Put the pheasant in the sling.

"Big sister..." Caihua asked puzzled.

"It was delivered last night!"

Cauliflower opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, and finally said, "Sister, let's go!"

"Ok!"

There are more people going to the town at dawn. If they know that their family has pheasants, it will cause a lot of gossip.

It's better to start early, no one knows.

The two sisters went out without even having breakfast, walking on the country road, and they didn't feel afraid to have a companion.

When we arrived in town, it was still slightly bright.

At the gate of the town, I ate a bowl of plain noodles.

After paying three Wen, I went to Zuixian Tower with the back strap on my back.

When Shu Xin and Cai Hua arrived, shopkeeper Bu saw Shu Xin at a glance, and greeted him enthusiastically, "Ah Xin, Ah Xin, I finally expected you to come, why did you send the pheasant again?"

"En!" Shu Xin nodded.

"How many?"

"Ten!"

Shopkeeper Bu summoned his assistant to come forward, "Send this pheasant to the kitchen, and help wash the sash!" Then he said to Shu Xin Caihua, "Come on, let's talk inside!"

"Okay, shopkeeper please!"

Cauliflower followed behind Shu Xin, feeling inexplicably nervous and a little excited.

She didn't expect that the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou was so polite to her elder sister.

Together, they entered the room where shopkeeper Bu settled accounts and released money. Shopkeeper Bu greeted Shu Xin and Caihua, "You two sisters, sit down, let's talk slowly!"

Shu Xin nodded slightly and sat down, followed by Caihua, with his hands on his knees, very nervous.

Shu Xin was much calmer.

From the demeanor and demeanor of shopkeeper Bu, we can already see the clues. It seems that Nasu fried bean sprouts are selling well.

"Ah Xin, your vegetarian stir-fried bean sprouts are selling well. The owner asked me to ask you if you have any other recipes? It's better to be more complicated, and the price is negotiable!"

Shu Xin laughed when he heard that.

Some relieved smile.

"To tell you the truth, I do have a big dish in my hand, but it also requires a lot of ingredients, so the price is naturally not cheap!"

Shopkeeper Bu sat up straight, "Tell me!"

"The name of the dish is Buddha Tiaoqiang, and it can also be called Fushouquan. To make this dish, you need abalone, sea cucumber, fish lip, yak skin glue, king oyster mushroom, tendon, flower mushroom, cuttlefish, scallop, quail egg Wait, every step of this needs to be meticulous and meticulous, and there must be a first-class jar to hold the daughter's red!"

"..."

Shopkeeper Bu has been the shopkeeper for so many years, and the cooks of the Zuixianlou went to the capital to study for a year, but they haven't made any Buddha jumping over the wall, let alone heard of it.

"Miss Ah Xin, wait a moment, I will come as soon as I go!"

After the cloth shopkeeper finished speaking, he got up and left.

From Ah Xin to Miss Ah Xin, from you to you, how could Shu Xin not hear the changes.

"Sister!" Cauliflower whispered worriedly.

Shu Xin stretched out his hand to hold Caihua's cold hand, "Don't be afraid, there is no righteousness in business, it's okay!"

"really?"

Shu Xin nodded.

Cauliflower was silent and lowered her head.

I was worried and scared in my heart, and my nervous back was covered with cold sweat.

But she didn't know what to do. She couldn't support this family without her eldest sister.

Jixiang came in with a plate of pastries, and said with a smile, "Miss Axin, Miss Cauliflower, these are the pastries that the shopkeeper asked me to bring to you. The kitchen just made them, so eat them while they are hot!"

"Thank you, brother!" Shu Xin got up to thank him, and brought the pastry.

Seeing the shopkeeper like this, it's obviously good intentions.

Handed the plate to Jixiang, "Brother, try it too!"

Ji Xiang suddenly laughed, took a piece and took a bite, "It's delicious!"

Such pastries are usually impossible to have, they are all ordered by rich families and delivered directly, and today they are blessed with Shu Xin.

Shu Xin then handed the cauliflower.

Cauliflower took a small bite, his eyes narrowed immediately, and he almost exclaimed, but he remembered what Shu Xin taught on weekdays, no matter how delicious something is, it can be expressed emotionally, but you can't shout rudely, Hold back abruptly.

Just looking at the pastry that Shu Xin put on the table, I wanted to wrap it in a handkerchief and take it home for my mother and chopped green onion and bean curd to taste!
Shu Xin naturally thought so too, so he looked at the remaining three cakes and said nothing.

Shu Xin didn't speak, and Ji Xiang was embarrassed to say that he still wanted to eat a piece. Looking at the cauliflower's expression, he immediately guessed something, but Shu Xin's face was calm, and he couldn't see anything.

Ji Xiang looked at Cauliflower again, seeing her staring at the pastry, twisting the handkerchief in her hand, thinking of the situation of Cauliflower's family, she couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

Meeting such a scumbag father, life must be very difficult!
Thinking of this, Jixiang found that Caihua also looked at him timidly with a little curiosity and gratitude. Although he was thin, his eyes were big and bright, just like the stars in the night sky, shining brightly, and then Jixiang felt that his face seemed to be burning .

"Do you want some water, I'll get you some water!" Then he turned around and ran away.

Shu Xin didn't understand, neither did Caihua, but they saw shopkeeper Bu walking quickly.

"Master Cloth!" Shu Xin called out in a low voice.

"Miss Ah Xin, follow me, the Young Master wants to see you!"

Shu Xin glanced at the cauliflower, "My sister..."

Shopkeeper Bu hesitated for a moment.

"If you don't stay in this room to play, you should get well soon!" Shopkeeper Bu asked tentatively.

Shu Xin shook his head, "No, let my sister wait at the door for a while!"

If the distance is too far, Shu Xin is not at ease, so it is best to bring someone along.

Shopkeeper Bu smiled, "OK!"

He couldn't go in for a while, so he happened to be with cauliflower.

There is also an exquisite small courtyard inside the Zuixian Building. At the door, a maidservant in pink came forward with a smile, "You are Miss Axin, please come here as a slave!"

Shu Xin nodded slightly at the cauliflower, and followed into the yard.

The cauliflower and cloth shopkeepers stand outside the yard.

Cauliflower is very nervous and her palms are sweaty.

Shopkeeper Bu smiled slightly at her, "Don't be afraid!"

Cauliflower nodded slightly.

It's just how can I not be afraid, that girl calls herself a servant girl, but she dresses much better than them, where is her master?

Will it be particularly difficult to get along with, or have special quirks?

Will my sister suffer if she goes in?
Shu Xin followed to a house, and before entering, he smelled a scent, "Miss A Xin, please answer outside the door!"

"Ok!"

Shu Xin nodded slightly.

I didn't feel humiliated or embarrassed.

There is essentially no difference between people, they are all people, but in fact, there is still a big difference between rich and poor families.

"My lord, Miss Ah Xin is here!"

"Ok!"

A faint, ethereal voice spread.

Shu Xin felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

"Is your formula of Fushouquan real?" The voice was still soft.

Without the slightest emotion, there is a chill.

"Master Hui, it's true!"

"How much silver are you going to sell?"

Shu Xin pursed his lips, "200 taels!"

There was silence in the room.

"Yes!"

Chu Jun couldn't help laughing. He thought that putting so many good things in would cost tens of thousands of taels, which made him so cautious.

200 taels...

Not to mention Chu Jun, even Xin Zhi, the maid who served him, couldn't help smiling.

Busily took 200 taels of silver bills to Shu Xin.

"My lord agrees, you go and write the recipe to shopkeeper Bu, and when shopkeeper cloth prepares the ingredients like this, you can teach me how to do it!"

"it is good!"

Shu Xin took the bank note.

To the young master inside, it was just a hair, but to her, it was enough to feed and clothe her family for several years.

They are not at the same level, and their needs for material things are different.

However, Shu Xin envied the people in the room, at least at his level, no one dared to bully him at will.

Pursing her lips, she turned and walked outside.

"Big sister!" Cai Hua immediately stepped forward and took Shu Xin's hand.

"It's okay!" Shu Xin comforted softly, and then said to shopkeeper Bu, "Buy shopkeeper, get your things ready first, and I'll come back in five days. If it's convenient for you, can I stay here for one night?"

"Convenient, convenient!"

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Bu!"

"You're welcome!" Bu shopkeeper said, remembering that the pheasant's money has not been paid to Shu, "Then let's settle the money!"

"it is good!"

It's just that when I arrived at the small room of the shopkeeper, there were no plates on the table, and no snacks.

Shu Xin frowned, while Cai Hua sighed.

If I had known it earlier, I would have taken it.

Shopkeeper Bu took the [-] Wen to Shu Xin, who thought for a while before saying, "Treasurer Bu, are you here to exchange money?"

"Miss Ah Xin wants to change money?"

Shu Xin nodded, and handed over the 200 taels of silver bills, "Please change the shopkeeper into one of 100 taels for me, and the other ones into silver ingots of ten taels each for nine, and the other one into copper coins of [-] taels each! "

Shopkeeper Bu laughed after hearing this, "How troublesome you are, let's do this, I will give you one piece of 100 taels, one piece of 50 taels, four pieces of ten taels, and the other ten taels will be exchanged for copper coins. If you want change, come to me instead of going to the bank!"

Banks charge a certain amount of money for exchanging change.

Shopkeeper Bu knew the situation of Shu Xin's family, so even if she had 200 taels of silver in her hand, she was willing to save Shu Xin some money.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Bu!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Shopkeeper Bu smiled and changed Shu Xin's change, and Shu Xin put the money into his purse separately.

Put the 150 taels next to your body carefully, and put the other 40 taels in a purse, and put the pieces together, ready to use them to buy rice grains.

But there are thieves on the street, and Shu Xin is still very cautious. He wanted to give some to Caihua, but seeing the stunned look of Caihua, Shu Xin thought about it and let it go.

Keep it all by yourself.

Saying goodbye to the cloth shopkeeper, just happened to be lucky to come over with a shoulder bag.

Cauliflower was thinking about the pastries that had been eaten, but she didn't want to show Ji Xiang a good face, so she took the bag and said nothing.

Jixiang smiled awkwardly.

Shu Xin didn't pay attention, and said goodbye to shopkeeper Bu.

When leaving, Shu Xin still decided to go through the back door, because there were already guests in Zuixianlou at this moment.

"Shopkeeper, I'll send them off!" Ji Xiang said, following along.

Cauliflower pouted.

Shu Xin smiled and said to Jixiang, "Thank you, brother!"

"My name is Jixiang!"

"Brother Ji!"

Shu Xin yelled, seeing that the cauliflower didn't speak, "Cauliflower!" He yelled softly.

Cauliflower then softly called out, "Brother Ji!"

Unwillingly.

Jixiang smiled, and didn't care. When he reached the back door, he stuffed a yellow paper packet into Caihua's hand, "Then go home and give it to my sister!"

Cauliflower was stunned, and Jixiang had already left with a smile.

Shu Xin reached out and touched the cauliflower's head, "Let's go!"

"Sister, I..." Cai Hua hesitated to speak.

"It doesn't matter, you just remember his kindness!"

Cauliflower nods.

Shu Xin took her by the hand and said seriously, "Cauliflower, remember everyone who treats you well, because he could have done otherwise!"

Even if Ji Xiang ate a few bites of the pastry, who can say anything?
Cauliflower held the pastry in her hand, nodded slightly, blushing,
"Miss..."

"Ok?"

"Am I doing something wrong?"

"It's nothing, don't think too much, let's go, let's go to Sister Pearl's house first!"

"Aren't you going to buy food?" Cauliflower asked in a low voice.

"Buy, but after you buy it, you have to take it back at night, not during the day!"

Cauliflower nods.

Their family is so poor, if they buy a lot of grain and go home at once, others will be suspicious.

Shu Xin actually wanted to get a few wine jars back, especially big ones, which can be used to pickle pickles, put rice, noodles, etc., without getting wet, and without being afraid of mice stealing them.

The two sisters were wearing old clothes, so rustic that no thief would notice them.

Arrived safely at Dai Zhenzhu's shop.

It happened that Mrs. Dai was also at home, and after some greetings, Mrs. Dai said, "Why did you two come to town?"

"Come to the town to buy some food, and the family will only plant it, and there will be no harvest!" Shu Xin said seriously.

"Do you have money?"

"Yes, godmother, don't worry!"

"It's good if you have it. If you don't have money, you have to tell your godmother that we are a family now, so you can't be polite to your godmother!" Mrs. Dai said, and after thinking about it, she said, "Your godfather is going to do embroidery work for you." , It is said that the price offered by the other party is relatively high, the embroidery cloth and embroidery thread are all provided by the other party, and the pattern has already been drawn by the other party, if the price is right, your godfather will take it for you!"

She had seen Shu Xin's embroidery skills before, and it was really good. She believed that Shu Xin could embroider well.

"Thank you, godmother, godmother, I have something to discuss with you!"

"you say!"

"I'm going to buy more rice noodles and cowpeas to go back. Can I ask my eldest brother and second brother to help me run around at night, and is there any big wine vat in the town? I want to buy a few more big wine vats!"

The water tank at home was used to hold wine when I bought wine, but now it is used as a water tank, which is a bit small.

Now that I have my own home, the big wine tank can be used at any time.

Mrs. Dai laughed, "Yes, you can buy some later and have someone bring them home. In the evening, your elder brother and second elder brother will come for you. As for the big wine jars, how many do you want?"

"Three or four!"

"Then you have to go to the place that sells wine and buy the kind that holds two hundred catties of wine. Our carriage should hold two, so you can buy two first, and buy two more when you come to town next time. Come back for dinner!"

Shu Xin nodded, "Thank you Godmother, I will leave the money first, and the food delivery person will come later, please Godmother to pay for it for me!"

Then he left Dai Ji with the cauliflower.

Mrs. Dai shook her head helplessly.

poor child.

But it's rare to be so thoughtful.

After all, her family's situation is such that if she really wants to brazenly buy tens of catties of rice noodles and go back, she may attract thieves, orphans and widowed mothers.

Shu Xin took the cauliflower to the rice shop first, bought [-] catties of polished rice, [-] catties of flour, and even [-] catties of corn, soybeans, and mung beans, and sent them to Daiji Buzhuang.

I bought another five catties of sugar, a large piece of pork ribs, and a large piece of fat pork, and put them in the back belt, which made me unable to carry them.

I also bought [-] catties of potatoes, and as long as the cowpeas were tender, Shu Xin bought them in bundles. He even ordered an ox cart, and even bought two baskets of old pumpkins.

It feels good to spend money, but it is also very eye-catching.

At this time, there are not many seedlings to sell, and they are basically mature.

The ones that Shu Xin buys can basically be stored for a long time, they won't break in a while, they are not worth much, and they can fill your stomach.

Seeing someone selling plums, Shu Xin tasted them, the sweet and sour ones were especially delicious, bought some, put them in a cloth bag, and planned to give some to Dai Zhenzhu, take the rest back home and give some to Shu Youren, and keep some for himself, tomorrow you can eat Give it to the children who go to cut the herbs together.

Shu Xin planned everything very clearly.

When Shu Juan'er and Mrs. Shu went out to buy vegetables, they saw Shu Xin and the cauliflower sisters buying specials. Although the ox cart was not worth much, it was enviable.

"Juan'er, tell me, where did that little bastard get the money?"

Shu Juaner frowned.

How did she know?But seeing Shu Xin buying things so extravagantly, Shu Juan'er suddenly had an idea.

"Mother, wait for me here, I'll go meet her!"

This she, of course, refers to Shu Xin.

"Be careful, this little bastard is wild now!"

"Don't worry, mother, I know!"

Shu Juan'er held a basket and blocked the way of Shu Xin and Cai Hua, and even stopped the ox cart behind them.

"..."

Shu Xin was silent.

He looked at the woman in front of him.

She recognized her aunt.

Don't think she is a good person just by looking at her kind face, in fact, she is the worst and most thoughtful member of the Shu family.

"Hey, I said Ah Xin, did you pick up the gold ingot? Buying so many things, tsk tsk tsk, you must have earned a lot of money. Where did you get the money? Could it be that you stole it!"
