The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 159 Pepper Powder

The 500 taels of silver was not much, and it was not much. Three days later, when Yao Yu was about to close the shop, the scholar brought 500 taels of silver, which contained a lot of broken silver. It could be seen that the silver was his Within three days, when the scholar saw that Yao Yu was closing the shop, he had an embarrassed look on his face, "Boss, I'm really sorry." He hadn't managed to get enough of the 500 taels until just now, and the first person who took the money For a while, he came here.

Yao Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, isn't the door closed yet?"

Seeing that Yao Yu was not unhappy, the scholar heaved a sigh of relief and followed Yao Yu to the second floor. Yao Yu took out Nuoer's notes from the grid, then turned around and handed them to the scholar.

The scholar took the note with trembling hands, and said with red eyes, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Yao Yu said.

The scholar seemed to be holding a lot of money, and followed Yao Yu out of the shop. Yao Yu looked at the scholar's trembling back and couldn't help showing a smile. After returning home, Yao Yu gave Nuo'er 490 five taels of silver, and Nuo'er was a little puzzled. "Why do you give me money?"

"This is your notebook sold." Yao Yu said.

Nuo'er was even more puzzled, "But the notes are only sold for 100 taels." According to the rules of the lattice shop, they can only get 99 taels of silver.

"I raised the price to 500 taels. According to the rules of the grid shop, a 490% fee is charged, so the [-] taels are earned by yourself." Yao Yu said.

Xie Nuo was a little embarrassed, and Yao Yu handed him the money, "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Normally speaking, your notes are priceless treasures, but I thought the scholar seemed good, so I sold them to him."

Only now did Xie Nuo accept the money. Although he has been an official in the imperial court for these years, he also knew that the salaries of officials were not very high, and a lot of money was needed for management. It was just that he had never been able to ask for it at home. Yao Yu seemed to know that, from time to time Always find some excuse to give him some silver taels.

After learning that Xie Nuo's notebooks were sold, many servants in Xie's mansion moved their minds, and Sizhu was the most courageous. They went to Yao Yu first, saying that they wanted to sell the family's souvenirs. Yao Yu saw it and was happy to accept it. After they got off, they signed an agreement with Sizhu. At this moment, more people found Yao Yu, and when they found that Yao Yu agreed with them to sell things, they were all very happy.

"You can also go to the grid shop to decorate those grids by yourself," Yao Yu said.

When the servants heard this, they were all grateful. They thought that Yao Yu would look down on these things, but they didn't expect that Madam not only didn't look down on them, but also explained the rules of the lattice shop to them very well.Yao Yu's unintentional act won the hearts of many people in the Xie family.

Yuzhi Bank opened a second store in the capital soon, and Xie Zhimo became even more busy. He wanted to open a bank around the capital, which required the fame of the bank, even though the bank has the emperor's handwriting Nomination, but after all, only a few people around the capital and people who have been to the capital know about it. It will take some time for the news of the ticket number to spread to the surrounding areas.

But when Xie Zhimo was happy, Ma Ze, who was an official with him, chose to resign and now works in Yuzhi Bank, which relieved Xie Zhimo's urgent needs.

However, Yao Yu was surprised for a long time by Ma Ze's resignation and defection to the bank. Xie Zhimo explained, "After all, to collect loans, you need some people who can use force. Ma Ze is very suitable here."

Yao Yu thought so too. Ma Ze has a scholarly face, and it is easy for people to look down on him. This kind of person is really suitable for collecting loans. Someone recruited?"

Xie Zhimo was taken aback, and said slowly, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Isn't it more appropriate to let them collect the loan?" Yao Yu said excitedly. Ma Ze's favor, maybe Ma Ze will stay in Yuzhi Bank for a long time in the future, and it is impossible.

Yao Yu can think of it, and Xie Zhimo can also think of it. For Ma Ze, Xie Zhimo has always been grateful. After all, he saved his life back then. It is indeed a win-win situation for people from the Ma family to come to the ticket number. Just talk to Brother Ma."

As soon as Xie Zhimo found Ma Ze and talked about it, Ma Ze agreed, and he was very grateful. He came to the capital to gain a foothold, and then took over all the brothers from the Ma Family Gang. For many years, everyone also wanted to be good, which is why although they are bandits, they have not done bandit activities for a long time.

"Thank you for your appreciation, brother. From now on, my Ma Clan will be the only ticket number." Ma Ze's eyes were rosy. After he was rescued by Yao Yu, he wanted to repay his kindness. Later, he learned that Yao Yu was doing well in Shuangshui Village. , I wanted to find an opportunity to repay this kindness, but I didn't expect to save Yao Yu's husband, Xie Zhimo, by accident. Now, Xie Zhimo gave the whole Ma family a way out. It would be a lie to say that I am not grateful.

Xie Zhimo didn't expect that just a few words would make the Ma's Gang follow him wholeheartedly. Not only did the ticket number benefit, but Yao Yu's checkered shop also successfully recruited two people from the Ma's Gang, one named Ma Cai. One person once went out to do some work like a shopkeeper, and was arranged by Yao Yu to work on the second floor of the lattice shop. The other person, named Ma Wen, was the second person in the Ma Family Gang after Ma Ze, so he didn't need fists and kicks. Said, also good at communication.Although Ma Wen has no acquaintance in the capital, Yao Yu believes that in time, this Ma Wen will definitely make a name for himself.

When the grid shop business was gradually stabilizing, Yuan Bufan came to the door suddenly. Xie Yuanwu was a little curious about how the general came to his house. Hearing Yuan Bufan explain the reason, he said immediately, "Gouzi is busy with the ticket office recently. , I'll find someone to find him right now." As he spoke, he wanted Yuan Qing to call.

Yuan Bufan waved his hand, "If he's not here, can I ask if Mrs. Yao is here?"

Xie Yuanwu was taken aback, and murmured in his heart, although Yuan Bufan is an upright person, it would be inappropriate for Geng Zhizhi to go directly to his daughter-in-law. If this word spreads, Yao Yu's reputation will be damaged. the point.

Yuan Bufan saw what Xie Yuanwu was thinking, and said directly, "My matter of looking for the Yao family has something to do with the army."

Xie Yuanwu really wanted to sneer, what does a woman have to do with the army, but this time before Xie Yuanwu opened his mouth, Yuan Bufan continued, "Doesn't Xie Shangshu think that the peppers made by Yao's family are very suitable for my northern Xinjiang soldiers? "

Xie Yuanwu thought for a long time before he realized what pepper was, and said blankly, "Edible?" Why is it suitable for soldiers to eat? Could it be that they can't use it?
"Don't you feel warm after eating peppers?" Yuan Bufan asked back.

Xie Yuanwu's eyes lit up, obviously he had figured out the reason, "General Yuan is still the best, I'll call her out right now." After speaking, he waved to Yuan Qing, "Go and call Yao Shi here." After speaking, I felt uncomfortable. Tuo said again, "Let her go directly to my study."

Yao Yu heard that Xie Yuanwu looked at him for a moment, and only found Yuan Bufan was there in the study. Then he realized that the reason why Xie Yuanwu said he wanted to be in the study was because he was afraid that other people from the Xie family would gossip.

"It's really inappropriate to take the liberty to visit the door today." Yuan Bufan said, he was too busy on weekdays, so he managed to find some free time today, so he came directly to Xie's mansion.

Xie Yuanwu also knew that Yuan Bufan was busy on weekdays, and he would rush back to the northern border tomorrow, so he waved his hand, "It's about our Dayuan army, so what's wrong."

Yuan Bufan couldn't help snorting in his heart. I don't know who was dissatisfied when he heard that he was looking for Yao Shi, but then he thought, it seems that Yao Shi also deserves Xie Yuanwu's attention. It seems that she is really not an ordinary woman. .

"Is it pepper?" Yao Yuben didn't care much about such etiquette. After listening to Xie Yuanwu, and seeing Yuan Bufan on the outskirts of the capital, he guessed why Yuan Bufan came.

"Exactly." Yuan Bufan said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I want to make an agreement with Mrs. Yao today. If my army buys these peppers, what price will they be?"

Dayuan peppers are sold at ten yuan a catty. If they want to dry them into pepper powder, Yao Yu thought for a while and said, "This pepper powder is sold at thirty yuan, what does the general think?"

This price greatly exceeded Yuan Bufan's expectations. I thought Yao Yu would call out a price of [-] Wen or even more expensive for this pepper powder, but I didn't expect it to be only [-] Wen. This price may not even keep the cost.Yuan Bufan couldn't help sighing, many merchants would try their best to increase the price after hearing that it was military supplies, but Yao Yu gave such a low price.

Yao Yu explained, "Originally there should be no charge for providing supplies for the army, but there are not many peppers, so we can only charge such a price for the time being. I hope General Yuan will forgive me."

Yuan Bufan clenched his fists tightly, "I didn't expect Mrs. Yao to have such a heart that Yuan admired."

Yao Yu saluted, "General Yuan guards Dayuan, and let us pay respect."

Xie Yuanwu stroked his beard and sighed silently in his heart, Zhimo found a good wife.

Yao Yu and Yuan Bufan signed an agreement. There are not many pepper powders in existence. Fortunately, Xie Zhimo bought all the land in Xinzha Village to grow peppers, but it will take some time to make pepper powder and send it to northern Xinjiang. , but now that the season is about to warm up, it is not necessary.

After Xie Zhimo came back, Yao Yu told Xie Zhimo about it, and Xie Zhimo sighed with a smile, "The whole Xinzha Village is about to become a Fanjiao Village." Especially when the peppers come out, the whole Xinzha Village is red. , looks very good-looking, and many of the family members will go there to play.

Yao Yu suddenly thought, "Is the mountain in Xinzha Village suitable for growing pomelo?"

They went on an outing to Xinzha Village before, Xie Zhimo pondered for a while and said, "It's suitable."

Xie Zhimo knew Yao Yu's thoughts without Yao Yu's further words, "I'll go and buy the mountain later."

"Okay." Yao Yu said with a smile, "If you're too busy, you can find the second brother." After all, Yao Chang is very good at cleaning up these things.

"Don't worry, I'll save it." Xie Zhimo said.

On the day of Lixia, the Xie Mansion finally welcomed a rare visitor. Seeing the visitor, Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo's eyes widened, and it took a long time to realize, "Why did you become like this?"
