peasant girl wedding

Chapter 132 Decision
"Second sister, this peanut is really delicious!"

Tong Zhu'er praised.

Tong Zhaofu couldn't stop nodding, "Yes, second sister, it's better than what Li Shuyu bought from a roasted seeds and nuts shop when I was in a private school."

Tong Zhi'er's eyes lit up.

She hadn't tasted the peanuts at the roasted seeds and nuts shop, but Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu both said so... Tong Zhi'er thought of a good idea.

"Mother, big sister, I'm eating peanuts."

Tong Zhi'er scooped out all the peanuts in the pot, put them on a bamboo sieve to drain, brought them to the main room, and called Fang Cuiwei and Tong Duo'er over.

"Yeah, it smells so good!"

Fang Cui said slightly.

Tong Duo'er, who came out of the room, carefully looked at the boiled peanuts, and said: "The color is good, and the taste is also fragrant, Zhi'er, did you cook this?"

Tong Zhi'er nodded, "Eldest sister, mother, please try one."

The two grabbed a peanut, shelled it and threw it into their mouths.

"good."

"delicious."

Fang Cuiwei and Tong Duoer praised at the same time.

"What's good?" Tong Zhixin's voice came from outside.

Tong Duo'er and the others looked at the door excitedly, "Father, you're back!"

"Has the grass in the field been cut?"

Fang Cuiwei asked.

Tong Zhixin nodded. For the past few days, he arrived early every morning, got up before dawn, and went to his family's field with a hoe to weed.

"Hurry up and wash your face, try Zhi'er's boiled peanuts, it's delicious."

Fang Cuiwei handed the water-stained handkerchief to Tong Zhixin, and after Tong Zhixin finished wiping his face, he took the dirty handkerchief and rubbed it in the tub.

Tong Zhixin walked to the table where the peanuts were placed, saw one and pushed it away, and fed it into his mouth.

"Father, is it delicious?"

Tong Zhuer asked.

Tong Zhaofu also watched his reaction eagerly.

Tong Zhixin smiled, "Not bad."

Tong Zhu'er was overjoyed, and proudly said: "The peanuts cooked by the second sister must be delicious." It looked like she cooked the peanuts.

"Father, mother, do you think that if we sell our boiled peanuts in the county, will anyone like it?"

"Yes, yes, the peanuts in the county are not as good as the second sister's cooking!"

Tong Zhaofu said loudly.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei glanced at each other, then turned to look at Tong Zhier, "That's a good idea, we have some money left at home, go to Lao Guo and Lao Xu's house to buy some peanuts, and we'll take them when they're cooked." Go to the county to sell."

"Yeah, second sister, I'll help you."

"And me, I want to help too." Tong Zhaofu said unwillingly.

Tong Duo'er put her arms around Tong Zhi'er's shoulders, and said softly: "I'll prepare meals for everyone, and just let me wash the clothes at home."

The family's support moved Tong Zhi'er very much.

"Father, Mother, Shopkeeper Qin is familiar with our family. Let's take today's boiled peanuts to a restaurant and see what Shopkeeper Qin says? If he thinks it's good, we don't have to go to the county every day to set up a stall. Just sell it to Shopkeeper Qin."

Tong Zhixin thought about it and agreed with Tong Zhier's idea.

Fang Cuiwei took out a bamboo basket, spread a layer of cloth inside, and then put the boiled peanuts in it.She and Tong Duo'er stayed at home, while Tong Zhixin, Tong Zhi'er, Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu went to the county together.

After the few people left, Fang Cuiwei grabbed a few handfuls of boiled peanuts and sent them to Tong Zhide's family, and the rest to Fang Dalin's family.

……

"Boss Tong, Miss Zhi'er..." Steward Zhang came out with a smile when he saw Tong Zhixin and the others in the lobby.

Tong Zhaoyin came from the kitchen at the back to serve food, and was a little surprised to see a few people.

"Fourth Uncle." Tong Zhaoyin shouted.

Tong Zhixin nodded to him, looked at Guanshi Zhang, and asked, "Is Manager Qin there?"

"The shopkeeper is not in the shop today, what's the urgent matter, Boss Tong?"

Tong Zhi'er said, "Guan Zhang, these are peanuts cooked by myself at home, can you try it?"

Guanshi Zhang lowered his head and saw a basket in Tong Zhi'er's hand.

There is a basket full of peanuts in the basket, which are beautiful in color and exude an attractive smell.

Guanshi Zhang picked one, peeled off the shell, and fed it into his mouth.

Tong Zhixin and others looked at him nervously.

"It tastes good," Zhang Guanshi said with a smile. The peanut taste is really good, at least he has never eaten such a delicious one before, and then asked: "Miss Zhi'er, can you sell us the recipe for boiling peanuts?"

"En." Tong Zhi'er nodded.

Manager Zhang narrowed his eyes, "Let's talk inside."

Several people entered the room.

The second child came in to deliver tea, then withdrew.

"What price does Miss Zhi'er want?" Manager Zhang asked with a smile.

They were acquaintances with Guanshi Zhang, and they made Qin An suffer a lot in a restaurant, Tong Zhier didn't want the price to be too high.

"50 taels of silver."

Guanshi Zhang was a little surprised. Tong Zhi'er's clever mouth and shrewdness in the past few times really surprised him for only 50 taels.He also thought that Tong Zhi'er would never be less than 80 taels.After all, once Fangzi is sold, there will be no profit in the future.

Zhang Guanshi smiled, "We are all acquaintances, and I don't want you, Miss Zhi'er, to suffer too much. How about this recipe, how about selling it for 60 taels?"

Tong Zhi'er nodded, and took out the prescription that he had written long ago from his pocket and gave it to him.

Zhang Guanshi called 60 taels of silver to her and wrote two contracts.

It was stipulated in the contract that Tong Zhi'er could no longer sell the prescription to others, nor could he open another store to sell the boiled peanuts according to the prescription.

The two parties signed the contract and put away the contract, and Manager Zhang sent them out.

Watching the backs of Tong Zhi'er and others walking away, Guanshi Zhang had an unstoppable smile on his face.

Tong Zhi'er is really a smart girl, if the shopkeeper really married her, it would be a good thing.

Guanshi Zhang went into the kitchen and gave the recipe to the chef, "Follow this recipe to cook fifty catties of peanuts."

Within a few days, the boiled peanuts from Yifang Restaurant became popular throughout the county.There are countless guests.And the branches of Fangfang Restaurant in various places are also booming and thriving.

These are all later stories.

Back to the present, Tong Zhixin, Tong Zhier, Tong Zhuer, and Tong Zhaofu came out of a restaurant and went to the cloth village. Tong Zhier took her share of this month from the shopkeeper Jin, and the family got married. The carriage headed home.

"How's it going?"

When Fang Cuiwei heard the sound, she immediately came out of the house, waited for several people in the yard, and asked.

Tong Zhixin praised the 60 taels of silver wrapped in cloth in Yang's hand with a smile on his face.

As in the past, Tong Zhi'er handed over all the money he got to Tong Zhixin for safekeeping.

Several people entered the room, and Tong Duo'er also came out of her room.

Tong Zhixin told the two of them that the recipe for boiling peanuts was sold for 60 taels of silver, and then opened the silver for her to see twice, and then asked Tong Zhier to put away the silver.

"Second Sister, how much did Shopkeeper Jin give?"

When I was in the county, Treasurer Jin gave me a stack of banknotes. Tong Zhi'er counted them quickly, and she didn't know the face value of the banknotes. asked.

"Seven pieces of 100 taels, ten pieces of 50 taels, and a total of [-] taels."

Tong Zhu'er started counting with her fingers, and kept muttering, "Seven pieces of 100 taels..."

Before she could finish the calculation, Tong Zhaofu said crisply: "The total is 13 taels and [-] wen."

"Hey, it's true," Tong Zhu'er, who finally figured it out, looked at him in surprise, "Ah Fu, how did you do it so quickly?"

Tong Zhaofu looked at Tong Zhi'er, "The second sister taught me."

That's right, it is precisely because Tong Zhi'er told him the mental arithmetic rules of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division that he can calculate so fast.

"Second sister, I, I want to learn too."

Tong Zhu'er looked at Tong Zhi'er eagerly, she also wanted to be like Ah Fu, she calculated quickly and accurately.

Tong Zhi'er agreed with a smile.

"How can there be so much money? Zhi'er, is this the money you earned by painting dolls?" Fang Cuiwei asked in surprise.Tong Zhixin and Tong Duo'er on the side also looked at her curiously, opening their mouths slightly.

One month is so much money, if it takes one year, two years...days, it's really unbelievable.

"I also gave advice to shopkeeper Jin. His business is good, so I naturally get a lot of money."

"Second sister, what's the idea?"

Tong Zhaofu asked eagerly, and the others were also very curious.

Tong Zhi'er slowly told them the matter.

This has to start with the last time Tong Zhi'er went to the cloth village to hand over the doll style drawings.

The new style of dolls is naturally sought after by everyone, but it's only for a while, after all, there are not many people in the county, after that time, there will not be many people buying dolls.

So, Tong Zhi'er suggested a good idea to shopkeeper Jin.

The dolls are made into a set of different sizes according to the size specifications, a set of six, even the dolls that have been sold before can also be made into a set.Immediately afterwards, the store launched an event to buy a set of puppet dolls with a [-]% discount.Introducing the old and bringing forth the new can also have unexpected effects.

Afterwards, Tong Zhi'er asked the treasurer Jin to put up advertisements inside and outside the cloth shop, saying that the cloth shop would release new dolls on the tenth of every month.

In this way, everyone in the county who likes puppet dolls knows that there will be new products coming to the cloth shop on the tenth.

Collecting things is a hobby, and after a long time, it will become a habit.

Over time, it will become a habit to come to cloth shop to buy dolls.

The materials used by the cloth shop to make puppet dolls, as well as the handicrafts of the embroiderers are all good. Word of mouth, coupled with the advertisements that Tong Zhier asked Jin Treasurer to spread around the county, attracted more customers. .

With more customers and more dolls sold, she will naturally get more money.

"Second sister, you are so smart." After hearing what Tong Zhi'er said, Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu sighed at the same time.

Fang Cuiwei also sighed: "If our family can afford to open a store, Zhi'er will definitely be able to manage it well."

Tong Zhixin's eyes lit up, "Let's take the money we earn now to the county to buy a shop for Zhi'er, and let Zhi'er do business." Tong Zhi'er has a talent for business, and Tong Zhixin really doesn't want to bury it.
