Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 239

Xu Erni smiled and said: "Mother, there is me." Now Liu Shi does not allow her to go to the field, thinking that she is about to be pregnant, it is better to do some housework at home, anyway, there is no work in the field now, and their men can do it coming.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the sound of cicadas is getting longer and longer, the tree outside the window of the new house has not yet grown up, and the house is too hot.Xiuyao asked her father and elder brother to help them build a shed in the field, ventilated on all sides, as long as it was covered from the sun, she, the third sister and the elder sister-in-law were doing needlework underneath.

After Xiurong did it for a while, she compared with Xiuyao to see who did it better, and asked her sister-in-law to judge.Xu Erni laughed and said, "The third younger sister's design is fancy, while the fourth younger sister's is more stable. They both look good."

Xiurong curled her lips and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, we all think that you are just like the second sister, you are a big lala and don't have a lot of heart, but I think you have a lot of heart, no one can offend you."

Xu Erni said aggrievedly: "Look at your sister-in-law. People say that my sister-in-law is difficult to serve. How can I play tricks? Can I still say that you are not doing well or Yaoyao is not doing well? I just look at it. I Apart from our own family, I am not afraid of offending other people's families."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, my third sister just talks like this, saying that we do too." She winked at the third sister, telling her not to talk about sister-in-law.

Xiurong laughed again, and asked her sister-in-law to tell her a story, and Xu Erni took the gossip of some people in her village as a joke.At this time, Zhang Guifang led shopkeeper Feng and a mother over, and they hurriedly got up to say hello.

Zhang Guifang said with a smile: "Talk, I still have steamed buns at home, so let's go home first."

Xiuyao invited shopkeeper Feng to talk in the room, and made tea herself.

Mrs. Liu came over to say hello when she saw her, so she avoided them and let them talk.

Shopkeeper Feng introduced, the mother's surname is Zheng.

Madam Zheng looked more decent than those few, with gold hairpins on her head, she greeted Xiuyao with a friendly face, and put a wooden box on the kang.

Shopkeeper Feng smiled and said: "Yaoyao, we are old friends, you can't say that Uncle Feng doesn't like you. Second Mistress likes the ones you gave to Second Mistress very much. This is a thank you gift for you."

Mother Zheng smiled and said, "Miss Qin is clever and practical. Those mothers went back and said that the girl did her best, and the second grandmother was happy. The second grandmother said that she couldn't let the girl lose money, so she sold the prescription to us at that time. The second grandma also gave compensation. The second grandma said that although it is not much, it is also a little bit of her heart, and when she makes money, there will be a thank you gift."

Xiuyao hurriedly got up to thank her, she deserved the money, so she didn't refuse.When I opened the box, I saw that there were neat white patterns of silver inside, and the bottom was covered with black velvet cloth, which looked really rich and deep.

She picked up one and looked at it, and the words Jinan Mansion, Rongchangsheng, and 20 taels were engraved on the bottom, and she saw that there were ten of them, which meant that there were 200 taels in total! !This is not a small amount of money, and some people will never see so much money in their entire lives.How much food does this cost?Xiuyao was excited, but she suppressed it.

Looking at her expression, Zheng's mother thought that she might be too little, hesitated, but heard Xiuyao say: "Second Grandma is really kind, so much money."

Mama Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, Shopkeeper Feng said with a smile: "200 taels, I also think it's a lot. The second grandma is always generous, as long as she is good to her, she will be favored. Yaoyao, you are not more polite, this is what you should Got it."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." She just needs money, after all, the family also needs to have a long-term livelihood.She has been thinking about it, but she hasn't figured it out yet, so she can only watch it step by step.

Shopkeeper Feng smiled, "That's how it should be. If you refuse me, I don't know what to do."

Xiuyao stood up and said, "Uncle Feng, Mama Zheng, it's getting late, so don't refuse. Just eat at my house."

Mother Zheng said: "Guifang still let us go."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "I used to stay at my aunt's house, and today I also made money, why would she entertain you, of course it's at our house." She went down to talk to Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu said: "Of course If you want to leave a meal, I will arrange it."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Mother, you go and talk with me, I will call my father and elder brother back, and let my sister-in-law arrange it." After all, there are two mistresses in the family now, and mother is already a mother-in-law, so my sister-in-law can learn from her. arranged.

Liu Shi smiled and said, "That's fine." She went into the room to accompany the guests.

Xiuyao found Xu Erni and Xiurong, talked about the treat, and asked Xu Erni to buy it with money.

Xu Erni laughed and said, "We have all kinds of vegetables in the vegetable garden, so we just need to cut two catties of meat to buy a piece of fish, and it's best to buy some roasted pork."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you decide."

Xu Erni went to Liu's money box to get a few hundred dollars, and went out to find Daye to buy it for him.When Xiuyao went, she went to find Qin Dafu, who was building the courtyard wall with her second uncle and Qin Decai, and came back to talk with the guests.

Qin Chan is already grown up, so he should meet people and see the world.

Shopkeeper Feng saw Xiuyao bringing Qin Chan over, exchanged polite greetings, heard that he was weaving, looked at him curiously, and said with a smile, "It's really not easy, what kind of cloth can we weave?"

Qin Chan said: "My sister Xiuyao went to the cloth shop to see it. When I came back, we learned to weave it. It is a small checkered cloth with six sheds." In fact, there are other transformations of the dark grid jacquard, which is the swastika pattern.

Shopkeeper Feng said in surprise, "It's amazing, I want to see it." The cloth weaves in the country people's homes is ordinary plain weave.

Qin Chan immediately went to push a smaller bundle of cloth that had already been woven over with a small cart, and then carried it over and put it on the kang to show shopkeeper Feng.

Shopkeeper Feng looked at it, and praised repeatedly: "It's really good craftsmanship, how many years have you been weaving?" Then he said to Xiuyao: "Yaoyao, you have such a good cloth, why didn't you tell me?"

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Uncle Feng, we've only just started, but it started last winter, and now it's just Sijibu."

Shopkeeper Feng clapped his hands, "Oh, there are so many of them, why don't you tell me. We are also looking for this kind of cloth, let me tell you, silk, now there is no shortage, all kinds of brocades in the south of the Yangtze River It’s extremely beautiful, but this kind of cotton cloth is less beautiful.”

Xiuyao's heart moved, and she asked, "Uncle Feng, doesn't the Feng family have a weaving workshop?"

Shopkeeper Feng shook his head, "The Feng family mainly runs shops and farms, and the oil mills and sugar mills below are not owned by the family."

Xiuyao groaned, and said with a smile: "My brother and I gave you this cloth before. Your shopkeeper gave you less money, so we went to Linji." She said the price, and shopkeeper Feng nodded, "Boss Lin will do it." The business is real, and the price given is good.”

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Yes, he has already grown it for us now, Uncle Feng, if there are more of this kind of cloth, how much can you ask for?"

Shopkeeper Feng said with a smile: "If you give it to me, of course you need as much as you want. We have a lot of shops. Our business is not only in our local area, but the most important thing is in other places. The owner has a ship that transports goods non-stop every day. Traveling from south to north, going east to west and retreating from east to west, they sell goods and make more money."

This is the need for mutual communication, Xiuyao said with a smile: "Then when the waterway on our side is opened, your business will be even better." With the waterway, it is naturally more convenient.

Shopkeeper Feng laughed.

Xiuyao discussed with him again whether he would accept or not if she bought more.

Shopkeeper Feng knew that she wanted to make people weave together, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep it. Even if the owner doesn't want it, I will definitely sell it to other places for you. The money will definitely not be less than what you give to Lin Ji Cloth. "

When Xiuyao heard this, she laughed, "Uncle Feng, then I will find someone to do the work. If a hundred pieces of cloth are produced in a month, can you ask for it?"

Shopkeeper Feng said with a smile: "Yaoyao, it's okay if you sell a lot. Let me tell you, this cloth is in short supply right now. I can take it if you sell [-] pieces a month." He took the goods, and when the time came, he looked around Fat, no loss at all, pure profit.This little girl can toss out two hundred bolts of cloth in a month.

Xu Erni and Xiurong worked together to buy food and drinks. In the hot summer, there was basically no fire in the house. There was a stove outside, and the cooking was done outside. It didn't darken the room, but also kept the room cool.

Qin Ye cut two catties of roast meat, and bought pork belly and a big carp.Xu Erni killed a rooster and stewed it, and also fried seasonal stir-fry, which was also a big table full of dishes, including meat and fish, very rich, which I never dared to think of before.

Zhang Guifang sent some meat and wine because the two of them didn't go to her place. Xiuyao asked her to call Zhou Qiang for dinner, so she did.In addition, here are Qin Dafu, Qin Ye, and Qin Ergui as companions, and Qin Chan and Xiuli naturally also ate there, except that they did not call Second Aunt.

Although the second aunt felt ashamed, she just thought that her son and men were all working for the big house, and they were plotting against her, so they didn't respect her.

After Shopkeeper Feng and Mama Zheng ate the food and wine, everyone talked again. Seeing that it was about the same time, Shopkeeper Feng and Mama Zheng left.

For the rest of the night, Mrs. Liu asked Xiurong to call her grandparents to have another meal, and gave Mrs. Zhang two catties of meat from Zhang Guifang, which made Mrs. Zhang laugh from ear to ear.

Mrs. Liu reminded her, "Mother, it's hot in summer, go back and eat this meat quickly, don't leave maggots behind."

Mrs. Zhang yelled "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha", carried it and left.In fact, more than one time, Liu Shi gave her some meat, and she sometimes ate it reluctantly, and left it there, but the room was full of big flies, and when she was waiting to eat, there were small white maggots.

At night, Xiuyao showed the money to Mrs. Liu and told her to put it away so that she could prepare to do something.Mrs. Liu put the silver and the small box in a hole under the table on the north side of the east room.When building the house, she asked Qin Dafu to dig it secretly. The inside was built with blue bricks, so there would be no mice.In addition, there is a board on it, and there are chores on it, which no one else can think of. Besides, there is a lock on the cover, and only she and Xiuyao know where the key is hidden.
