The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 45 Shop
Zhuzi's voice was a little weak, "Grandma, that's a classmate's book, not mine." His parents told him that it must not be said that the third uncle and three aunts helped him. After staying in the village school for a few days, he became more and more aware of his parents The reason for doing it, so at this time he firmly cannot say that Nuoer lent it to him.

"You can deceive people at a young age. Who is willing to lend you such a valuable thing? How old are you?" Mrs. Liu took the book and went out.

Mrs. Zhou was about to stop her, but Mrs. Liu yelled, "Mr. Zhou, you are in a terrible situation. If you stop me again, I will let the boss divorce you."

Mrs. Zhou was still preparing to argue, when Shuanzi said anxiously, "Mother, elder brother passed out."

Mrs. Zhou was like a deflated ball, and she stopped looking for Mrs. Liu's theory, but stepped forward and hugged the pillar, "Shuanzi, go to the mountain to find your father, and I will take your brother to Shangyao Village to find a doctor."

Zhuzi didn't eat much at ordinary times, and after bleeding so much, he suffered from serious lack of energy and blood. He prescribed a bunch of traditional Chinese medicine to the doctor, but Zhou had no money, so he could only owe it first. Doctor Xiang thought that the child's life was important , they also agreed to credit.

Yao Yu sighed, if the Liu family continues to do this, the family will be broken up sooner or later.It is said that Mrs. Liu didn't take out a single copper coin for Zhuzi's doctor's money. No matter how honest he is, Xie Zhicai should be disappointed this time.

The next day, after Yao Yu sold the miscellaneous grain cakes, he went to the vegetable market to buy five catties of pork liver. The medicine is three-point poisonous, and the pig liver replenishes blood quickly and is healthy. I just don’t know if Mrs. Liu will snatch it when he sees it. Yao Yu sighed, she really lived comfortably after the separation.

After bringing the ox cart to Xie's house, Yao Yu was struggling with how to give the pig liver to Dafang, when Xie Zhicai came out, Yao Yu hurried up with the pig liver, "I heard that Zhuzi was sick, you guys did this Give it to him, don't let Mrs. Liu see it."

When Xie Zhicai saw the wrapped pork liver in his hand, his eyes turned red, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I heard that Zhimo is going out again?"

"En." Mentioning Xie Zhimo, Yao Yu felt a little lost. "Brother, don't be too polite, I'll go back first." Yao Yu said, she didn't want to see Mrs. Song and Mrs. Liu later.

"Then I won't give it to you." Xie Zhicai hurriedly hid the pig liver in his hand. Mrs. Liu was able to snatch the book from Zhuzi. What else could she not do? Yesterday Mrs. Zhou said that she wanted to separate the family. Xie Zhicai shook his head. He is the boss of the family, so how should the family be divided?

When Yao Yu got home, he first looked at the soybeans under the quilt. White hairs and yellow spots had grown on them. It seemed to be a success. Yao Yu hurriedly took off the quilt, and then turned the soybeans one by one. Break into small pieces.

In the early morning of the second day, Yao Yu put the soybeans under the sun to dry. After drying all the soybeans in the yard, Yao Yu set off with Nuoer contentedly.

All morning, Yao Yu was worried about the weather, fearing that it would rain. Fortunately, it was sunny all the time. When Yao Yu returned home, the soybeans were all dried. Yao Yu ground all the soybeans, and then added salt. Before adding it, it was boiled and put into room temperature water. Unexpectedly, the soybeans were made into two small jars of sauce.

Yao Yu took a sip of the soy sauce with chopsticks, and it was extremely mellow, so he couldn't help nodding. He will take a small jar to the town tomorrow, and the multigrain cakes will definitely sell more. Then he will buy dozens of catties of soybeans. The big jar is still in the corner of the kitchen, without anything in it, and now it can be used to hold soybean paste.

The more the soy sauce was put in, the more fragrant it became. Yao Yu stretched his waist and went back to the house to rest.

Aunt Chen's eyes were sharp, and she saw that Yao Yu stayed in an extra pot today, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Yao Yu opened the lid of the jar and scooped out a bowl from it, "This is the sauce I made myself, I don't know how to make it yet."

Whenever a customer came to buy cakes, Yao Yu would always ask, "Do you want sauce?"

When they learned that there is no need to add extra money for the sauce, the guests all chose to ask for it, "Boss, this sauce is really delicious, how do you make it?"

Yao Yu smiled and said, "I made this up on my own. I'll let you try it out and see if you can make a move."

The man saw that although Yao Yu didn't answer what he did, but his words were full of humility, he didn't care, even if Yao Yu said he might not know how to do it.

Aunt Chen couldn't bear it at first, and bought a multigrain cake for two yuan. Huang Yuhai smelled the aroma of the sauce, and asked for five yuan for the multigrain cake, that is, shortbread, eggs and sliced ​​meat.

The two of them chattered together, as if they were trying to taste the better food, Huang Yuhai couldn't help but gave a thumbs up, "Sister, this sauce is good, I feel strong after eating it."

Yao Yu smiled and said, "It may be that there is more salt." In the previous life, rural people had to eat more salt if they wanted to work.

Aunt Chen was shocked, "I didn't expect it to be salt, so you won't lose money if you put the sauce like this?"

Yao Yu shook his head, "If this sauce costs a penny more, the customer will definitely lose money. I'm fine with small profits but quick sales."

Aunt Chen nodded, "Yes, the eggs are sold for a penny, but I didn't expect you to sell them for a penny."

Every time Yao Yu bought too many eggs, he charged hundreds of them at a time, and the store sold 110 for [-] yuan, so it can't be said that he didn't make any money.

With the addition of soybean paste, Yao Yu's multi-grain cakes are completely unimitable. After some people in the town knew Yao Yu's surname, they all called this multi-grain cakes Yao's multi-grain cakes. The town is also considered a little famous.

Soon after one month, when Yao Yu went to rent the booth to the left of Huang Yuhai, he found that the booth had already been reserved and the deposit had been paid, so Yao Yu could only settle for the next best thing and choose his current booth, but he didn't expect that, The stall is also rented out.

Yao Yu was dumbfounded. She really didn't expect this stall to be so popular. Shopkeeper Qian explained, "It was cold before, but now the weather has warmed up, and many people have started to do business."

"Are there any other stalls?" Yao Yu took a look, and found that many bad places had been rented out, and only some remote places remained.

Seeing that Yao Yu was dissatisfied, Shopkeeper Qian took out the location of a shop, "There is a shop here, take a look."

This shop, Yao Yu knew, was just opposite her current stall, selling some snacks, but the business was not very good, but the location was really good, "How do I rent this?"

"Two taels of silver a month." Shopkeeper Qian said.

It is ten times more expensive than a stall, but the price is equivalent to a day's gross income. Yao Yu quickly calculated the cost in his mind. If he rented it out, he would not only be able to sell steamed buns and buns, but it would be good too. "Can I go and see the place first?" ?”

Shopkeeper Qian immediately called Xiao Er, "Let him accompany you for a walk."

Yao Yu followed Xiaoer to the outside of the shop, and Xiaoer took the key to open the door, and Yao Yu walked in. The shop was not too big, with two floors.

"There is a small courtyard behind this." Xiao Er led Yao Yu to the back of the house. Unexpectedly, there is a shop on the outside floor and a courtyard inside. If you are tired at noon, you can take a rest here. Yao Yu will have it right away. Care about.

Back at the place where he rented the shop, shopkeeper Qian asked, "Are you satisfied?" Yao Yu's behavior of simply paying the rent twice before made the shopkeeper have a good impression of Yao Yu. .

"Very good." Yao Yu said, "I don't know how much money is needed to buy this shop?"

Shopkeeper Qian said, "If you sell it, it will cost at least 100 taels of silver, but you are my regular customer, I will charge you 88 taels, and I hope you will make a lot of money in business."

All of a sudden, 12 taels of silver was lost, and the treasurer Qian said so, and Yao Yu couldn't help bargaining, "I don't have so much money with me, and I will bring the money to the treasurer Qian tomorrow." Thinking of selling a shop down.

Shopkeeper Qian said with a smile, "It's okay, I will reserve this shop for you for three days."

Yao Yu nodded, "Then I will thank Shopkeeper Qian first."

Back at the booth, Aunt Chen and Huang Yuhai both asked with concern, "Have you rented the booth yet?"

"Forget it, all the stalls around here have been booked," Yao Yu said.

Aunt Chen sighed, "It's my fault. I forgot to remind you. Every year after spring, the supply of this stall exceeds the demand. In summer, the price of this stall will even increase."

Yao Yu said with a smile, "But I bought the shop opposite."

Aunt Chen was taken aback, "Really? This relationship is good, and we can see each other often again in the future."

While selling things, Yao Yu was thinking about how to decorate the shop.When he got home, Yao Yu went to put the money for buying the store tomorrow, and now he had more than 200 taels of silver in his savings at home. Yao Yu took out 120 taels to see if he needed to buy something tomorrow.

When Nuo'er returned home, her expression was full of confusion, Yao Yu asked, "What's wrong?"

"After school tomorrow, the better for us to go see Brother Zhuzi together." Nuo'er said, "I really want to see Brother Zhuzi, but..."

Nuo'er didn't speak, but Yao Yu understood Nuo'er's entanglement. Nuo'er just didn't want to go to Xie's house to meet those people, "Then mother will go with you tomorrow?"

Nuo'er shook her head, "You always have to face it, and it's not a problem to hide."

"If they trouble you, you can call back, you know?" Yao Yu said.

Nuoer nodded, "Don't worry, mother, I practice the kung fu that father taught me every day."

"Nuo'er is really amazing." Yao Yu said, Nuo'er immediately smiled when he heard the praise.

In the early morning of the second day, Yao Yu did not go to buy the store first, but set up a stall to sell out the breakfast first, then went to the money shopkeeper, got the deed, Yao Yu was finally relieved, and started to clean the store, by the way Clean up the things here, the decoration of this shop is [-]% new, only some broken tables, Yao Yu intends to replace them, and the rest are going to continue to use the original ones.

Yao Yu went to the place where Xie Zhimo took him to sell tables before, chose a few ordinary tables and paid for them, the tables Yao Yu chose were all small ones, after all she was selling breakfast, most of them left after eating, as a result There are not many people who buy breakfast in groups, and small tables are enough.

After buying the table, Yao Yu went to the place where the plaque was made. She had thought of the name, and called it Yao's earlier. A plaque needs three liang of silver. Yao Yu felt distressed at once, but there was no other way, these had to be paid for. .

I went to buy three more locks, one to lock the yard inside, one to lock the gate outside, and a small lock to lock the money box, and then I bought ingredients for breakfast, such as flour, pork, Soybeans, wait a minute.

After Yao Yu finished his work, he realized that it was almost dark. Yao Yu quickly locked the shop and went back with the ox cart.
