The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

55 Rejection 2
Sister, I will definitely work hard, and I will definitely be admitted as a scholar.Even if he doesn't plan to become an official, the younger brother will try to be admitted to Juren.In the future, I will be able to support my eldest sister, so that my eldest sister can find a good family, and also prevent my future brother-in-law's family from bullying my eldest sister.

In a blink of an eye, autumn is here.

This season is a good day to go hunting in the mountains.

Mai Xiang followed Liang Gaoshan, Tian Sheng, Tian Sheng's wife, and Mao Lin's wife to the mountains more than 20 miles away from home, carrying a backpack and a cloth bag.In the mountains in autumn, there are walnuts, hawthorns, chestnuts, jujubes, etc. These are Mai Xiang's favorite things to eat.

Now, although the family lives a life without worrying about food and clothing, it is still Liang Gaoshan's favorite to hunt wild goods.Not for anything else, just for the joy of harvesting, he couldn't help but run into the mountains.

In her previous life, Mai Xiang never went to the mountains to hunt wild goods, and she was also very interested in hunting wild goods.Every autumn, she would follow Liang Gaoshan and run into the mountains every day.

For a month, the small warehouse at home was full of mountain goods.

Liang Gaoshan said with satisfaction: "Well, I won't go tomorrow!" Now, the hills that are a little closer have been trampled by the villagers.If I go again, I have to go to the mountains more than 30 miles away, and I don’t lack food or drink at home, so I don’t want to take that risk.

Mai Xiang also said happily: "Tomorrow I plan to go to the city, so I will bring some to Uncle and Brother Situ, what does Daddy think?"

Liang Gaoshan said with a smile: "Well, your little uncle likes to eat jujubes, and your eldest brother Situ heard that he likes to eat walnuts and chestnuts. Tomorrow, Dad will also go to the city together, so I will bring a sack for each family. Bring a copy too!"

Mai Xiang smiled and nodded: "Daddy, you don't need that much, just bring a sack and divide it among the three families! Anyway, they also have money, so they can go to the mountain goods store to buy it. If you give too much, they will definitely feel sorry and will give it to us. The family will give you a lot of gifts in return. In that case, it will look like our family is taking advantage!"

This cheap father has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he is open-minded.

Liang Gaoshan nodded: "Well, that's what you said. That's it, let's choose now and give them the best one!"

The father and daughter moved a small bench and sat in the small warehouse, picking walnuts and jujubes.

Mai Xiang: "Daddy, now that there are hawthorns, we can make authentic candied haws! Sweet and sour candied haws are more delicious and attractive!"

Before, she also made candied haws with other fruits, and put them in the novelty food specialty store. Although the response was good, compared with the candied haws made from hawthorn, she still felt that they were much worse.

Liang Gaoshan immediately frowned when he heard it: "I'm just saying, why did you buy hawthorn? It's so sour. It turns out that this hawthorn is a good thing for making candied haws! Hehe, I listen to you, you It’s up to you! Do you want to continue buying this hawthorn?”

Mai Xiang: "I don't need it for the time being. I already have several thousand catties at home. Let's talk about it when the market opens up! Now, with chestnuts, we can also make sugar-fried chestnuts!" Candied haws can't be compared with tofu and jelly. The people who eat it are basically children.

Mai Xiang hired more than 50 clean and diligent sisters-in-law and aunts from the village, and dumped the hawthorn in the middle of the courtyard.Everyone picked hawthorns and packed them in sacks. In one day, they picked out more than [-] bags of good hawthorns.

Early the next morning, Tian Sheng and Liang Gaoshan each drove an ox cart to the city with Mai Xiang.The ox cart was full of sacks filled with hawthorns.

Shopkeeper Liang received the message and hurried from Haoyunlai to welcome the guests.

Hearing Mai Xiang's talk about hawthorn and chestnut, shopkeeper Liang was also very excited.

Now, the business of welcoming guests will definitely hit a new high!

Hey, Mai Xiang is really his lucky star!
Candied haws, as well as fried chestnuts, soon set off a whirlwind in Qinghe County and even Bishuijiang area.The business of welcoming guests has indeed ushered in a new high.

With the money, shopkeeper Liang proposed: "Mai Xiang, why don't you keep [-]% of the dividends and open branches in other counties?"

Mai Xiang nodded: "Well, I think it will work!"

Shopkeeper Liang: "Well, since you agree, I'll go find your little uncle right away. If he doesn't object, I'll go to another county to find a shop tomorrow!"

Lucky Lai has more than ten branches in the whole Bishuijiang area, each county has a branch, and there are people he knows and makes good friends with.Finding a suitable store is not difficult.

Within a month, it opened to welcome guests in two other relatively prosperous county towns.Shopkeeper Liang has already trained the relevant personnel, and he has been interning in Qinghe County for a whole month.As soon as a person goes to another place, he can immediately go to work and be on his own.

The silver, like running water, flowed into Mai Xiang's pocket.The dividends for welcoming guests are all in charge of Mai Xiang himself.Now that she has space, she does not deposit the silver money in the bank, but changes it into silver or gold and stores it in the space.

Of course, in line with the principle of not putting eggs in one basket, Mai Xiang also found a corner in Liangjiaao's house, dug a deep cave, and put a small jar full of silver into the cave.

Space is not foolproof, and there may be a possibility of being unable to enter.All in all, it's always good to be safe.Otherwise, if there was a day when she couldn't enter the space, she wouldn't even find a place to cry.

So far, the silver and gold that Mai Xiang has stored in the space, converted into silver, has a total of 6000 taels.Among them, 3000 taels belonged to Mai Xiang's private property, that is, the dividends for welcoming guests.This is a huge sum of money for Mai Xiang.With this sum of money, it is enough for her to pay for Banxia and Huanglian scientific research!

Mai Xiang did not hold all the income from the various outputs of Houshan in her own hands, but gave Chang 20 taels of silver every month for daily household use.Every month, Liang Gaoshan and Huashi are given five taels of wages each, and Licorice and Poria cocos are given one tael each as their private money, so as to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm to the greatest extent.

Even for the little Coptis chinensis, Mai Xiang will give him twenty copper coins every month, and let him go to the peddler to buy candy and melon seeds to eat.Although, every time she came back from the city, she would bring back a lot of snacks for Huanglian, but going to the shopkeeper to buy food was actually a great pleasure for little Huanglian.

Children just love to join in the fun.

In a blink of an eye, spring is here.

Wild strawberries and all kinds of wild fruits in the mountains have also become popular items in novelty food stores.Strawberry is a fruit, in this time and space, no one has eaten it yet.It can be said that the first person to pick and eat is Maixiang.

Chinese toon, ground fungus, various wild vegetables, elm money, Sophora japonica, these things, in the country of Rongguo, no one used to pick them and eat them.The novelty food specialty store has opened a novelty door for the people of Rongguo.

Today's welcoming customers, in the hearts of ordinary people, seems to have become a brand store with excellent reputation.Since these things appear in novelty food stores, they are naturally edible, and there are very few people who have doubts.

Poor families also have more food to eat.These foods can be found in the wild, and you don't need to spend money to buy them.All of a sudden, there were crowds of city people who went to the wilderness to find food.

Soap, soap, cloth dolls, dolls, spinning tops, chess, sanitary napkins, fried tea leaves, etc., also appeared in novelty food stores. Mai Xiang specially asked people to build a closet to display those novelties that cannot be eaten. s things.

The business of welcoming guests is getting better and better!

At the beginning, a large number of aristocratic sons and ladies appeared in novelty food stores, and the masters and wives often came to buy, or wait and see.

The limelight of welcoming guests has already surpassed that of Good Fortune, as well as those inns and teahouses and restaurants where the local business is booming.

Mai Xiang's family is getting richer day by day, and Liang Gao Gao's family is staring at each other with dismay.

Mrs. Peng was furious: "Master, your second younger brother is really inhumane. He has so much money, yet he refuses to subsidize Jie Yuan! What are you doing with so much money? You can't take it to the coffin!"

Liang Gaokao shouted impatiently: "What are you yelling about? Do you think their family will give us a lot of money after you yell? Don't be so lonely, at least give mother a catty or two of broken rice, or a few sweet potatoes, and now the second brother's family will not sever ties with us!"

At the beginning, when the mother came to the door, he wanted to send the old lady away by giving him a little food.Anyway, let the old lady have a bite to eat, so that she won't starve to death.However, the wife was too strong and scolded the old lady bloody before he could speak.As a result, it was difficult for him to say anything, so he had to hide from his wife.

After hearing his words, Mrs. Peng couldn't help being stunned, and then came to her senses, and immediately retorted: "Hey, didn't you also want to help your second brother's house at that time? Otherwise, what are you doing hiding? Now , to put all the responsibility on me, but this is ridiculous!"

Liang Gaozhong was extremely irritable: "I'm too lazy to tell you! You are an ignorant woman, I can't tell you anything, I'd better go for a walk!"

After finishing speaking, he left with a flick of his sleeves, and Peng was so angry that he couldn't help crying: "Hey, it's unreasonable, why is my life so hard!"

Seeing this, daughter Liang Zhuzhu couldn't help frowning: "Mother, please calm down a bit! You look like a shrew! If Mrs. Zhao finds out, I won't be able to marry into the Zhao family!"

Mrs. Peng took out her handkerchief, wiped her snot and tears fiercely, and said in embarrassment: "Hey, you damn girl, even you despise me now, don't you? Damn girl, I'm your mother , is your own mother! You dare to despise me, see if I don't twist you to death!"

While talking, he twisted Pearl's ear.The strong one seemed to be her enemy.

Pearl couldn't guard against it, and she twisted her face upright. She felt that her ears were about to be twisted off, and she burst into tears in pain: "Mother, don't do this, I don't despise you! I'm just worried, I will be disgusted by the Zhao family! You also know that Mrs. Zhao didn't like me in the first place. If it weren't for the young master Zhao's infatuation with me, how could my daughter climb up to the Zhao family?

As long as my daughter marries Master Zhao, she will be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day in the future, and she will have a lot of money to spend.At that time, I will give my mother ten taels of silver every month, and every time I visit my mother, I will buy a lot of food and jewelry!Mother, let go, my daughter's ears are about to fall off! "

Hearing this, Peng let go of her daughter's ears.

That's right, what my daughter said is right, as long as my daughter marries Young Master Zhao, the family will have nothing to worry about.Mai Xiang's house is just a welcoming guest, so I don't know if it will be open for a long time. The Zhao family is the richest man in Qinghe County, and someone is a high-ranking official in the capital. Too much!
