The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 87 Xie Xiuhong's Marriage
"By the way, something happened in the village recently." When Luo Shi was in a good mood, he began to talk more.

The incident that happened in Shuangshui Village can be said to be big or small, but Yao Yu's focus is not here, so she doesn't know. Aunt Wu took the lead and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Xie Xiuhong seems to be getting married." Not many people know about it so far, and she and Wang Fengzhen only saw Xie Xiuhong's red wedding dress being stuffed into a sedan chair that day.

Wang Fengzhen nodded, "Yes, we saw it that day, but Xie Xiuhong seemed a little unwilling."

"Well, she was dragged to the sedan chair by Xie Jiaqiang, and she cried so much." Luo Shi said.

Yao Yu was taken aback, if Xie Xiuhong married someone, Liu would definitely talk about it everywhere, Xie Xiuhong was crying so much, it was obvious that Xie Xiuhong herself did not want to marry, so what kind of marriage was that?
Aunt Wu shook her head, "Being carried away in a sedan chair shows that the other party's conditions are considered good."

Yao Yu also thought of this point. According to the virtues of the Xie family, a loss-making business would never be done. Xie Xiuhong must have married someone from Shuangshui Village. As for who, Yao Yu didn't bother to guess. Home is good.

Aunt Wu and the others couldn't figure out who Xie Xiuhong was married to. After gossiping for a while, they found it boring and changed the subject.

Yao Yu bought an extra [-] catties of white wine today, and Yao Yu planned to ask Xie Zhimo to give Zhang Dehou the ten catties of distilled high-grade wine. It just so happened that he could also send them the five hundred catties of soybean paste from Manchuan Inn tomorrow.

Xie Zhimo's wages are calculated on a daily basis when he goes to the martial arts school, so it's okay if he doesn't go for a day.

In the early morning of the second day, Xie Zhimo rode an ox cart to Hehua Town. Yao Yu thought that the family should buy another carriage. Among the newly released recipes, rose steamed buns are the best. So far, including Including Yang Lan and Luo Shi, the rose steamed buns they make are all very good-looking, while Xiaozhu's steamed buns are a bit difficult to knead, but Yang Lan and Wang Fengzhen have already mastered the essentials. If Aunt Wu and Luo Shi make it slowly, they can make it.

Yao Yu took out the marinated fatty sausage and cut it into small pieces to make soup base. The fatty sausage noodle was released to only a small part of the audience. Most people were unwilling to try it after they knew it was pig offal. Others said that this noodle was delicious, but they didn't want to buy it, so Yao Yu only had a hundred bowls of fat intestines every day. When Yao Yu was thinking about whether to promote this noodle, he heard someone ask, "Can you sell this rum by itself? "

Yao Yu looked up, and the person who asked this question was a middle-aged woman. Speaking of which, she had met this woman once. When she first came to Jiangzhou to sell woolen clothes, this woman was the first person to buy her clothes. Yao Yu subconsciously got close to such a customer, "It's ok."

"Do you want to cook it well, or go home and cook it yourself?" If it is cooked, it is a bowl of Bawen, which is [-] Wen a catty. If it is not mixed with water, Yao Yu has not sold it yet.

"What's the difference?" the woman asked.

"If you don't mix it with water, you can store it for a longer period of time. If you mix it with water, you can drink it directly at home, or you can drink it after warming it up." Yao Yu explained.

The woman thought for a while, then asked directly, "How much is a catty without water?"

Yao Yu had already figured out the price in the gap between his words just now. The ratio of water to water is usually three to one, but if he sells it, the price may be lower. "Forty cents a catty."

The woman nodded, and put the small jar on the table. This jar can hold five catties, and it is also convenient to hold. "It takes five catties."

Yao Yu didn't weigh it anymore, and just filled the jar with sweet wine. Seeing Yao Yu's honesty, the woman couldn't help feeling a little good in her heart, "This is two hundred Wen."

The money was strung together with a rope, and Yao Yu didn't count it. After taking it, he put it directly into the money box. The woman asked curiously, "Why don't you count it?"

"At first glance, my aunt is an honest person, so there is no need to count them," Yao Yu said.

The woman laughed and walked out of the shop.

Sweet wine is easy to make, and a hundred catties of sweet wine can be sold for several days, so Yao Yu makes it every five days. Today, the woman bought five catties at once, so Yao Yu went to prepare sweet wine in advance.

When Xie Zhimo came back, smelling of alcohol, he looked at Yao Yu and took out the money with a smile, "This is the money for soybean paste."

Yao Yu frowned and asked, "Are you drinking?"

Xie Zhimo was startled, "Did it smell to you? I'm going to change clothes." After speaking, he ran to take a shower.

Yao Yu moved slightly, and then laughed. She wasn't angry that Xie Zhimo drank, but she was still driving a bullock cart after drinking, and Yao Yu was worried that it would be dangerous.

After Xie Zhimo changed his clothes, he walked into the stove room with an apologetic face, "Yu'er, I won't drink alcohol next time."

Yao Yu chuckled, "Who told you not to drink, next time you drink, wait until you sober up before driving."

Xie Zhimo didn't expect that Yao Yu was not angry, but cared about himself, and his eyes turned red. How many people really cared about him for so many years, Xie Zhimo didn't know how to express it, so he just called out, "Yu'er..."

Yao Yu was making sweet wine, and when Xie Zhimo called her, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, so he changed the subject abruptly, "I heard that Xie Xiuhong is married?"

Sure enough, when he heard about Xie's family, Xie Zhimo's expression returned to normal, but he had never heard of Xie Xiuhong's marriage, "I don't know."

Yao Yu sighed secretly, this Xie Xiuhong is also a poor person, but a poor person must have something to hate, so Yao Yu didn't ask in detail, Xie Zhimo said, "I'll help you."

Sweet wine is relatively simple, Yao Yu taught while Xie Zhimo stirred, and it was finished in a while.

Yao Yu was about to start making high-grade wine last night. Xie Zhimo was very interested in this, and helped Yao Yu put the things to be distilled on the pot, and then pour the wine into the pot. Xie Zhimo said, "Did you I see, Brother Zhang is very excited after drinking the wine you brewed today." Not only was he excited, Zhang Dehou burst into tears after taking a few sips, saying that it was such strong wine, after drinking for a while, this life No regrets, speaking of Xie Zhimo and Zhang Dehou having known each other for so long, this is the first time seeing Zhang Dehou cry.

Yao Yu said with a smile, "This wine can be more powerful, I will make it for you to try after a while." After three times of distillation, the degree of alcohol may reach more than 60 degrees, but Yao Yu's shop is too busy recently, So wait a while.

Xie Zhimo's eyes sparkled when he heard that there was stronger wine. Today he drank a bowl of wine at Zhang Dehou's, and wanted to drink more, but Zhang Dehou put away all the wine in the jar, and said as a matter of course, " This was given to me by my sister-in-law."

Xie Zhimo didn't bother to answer, if it wasn't for him, would Yao Yu give Zhang Dehou wine, but thinking that there is still this kind of wine in the house, Xie Zhimo didn't argue with Zhang Dehou.

As soon as the door of Yao Yu's shop opened, a large crowd of people rushed in. Yao Yu's self-made wine would be sold out in a while, and those who didn't get the wine in the back line suddenly felt a little dissatisfied, "I said boss, why did you Do not make more of this wine."

Yao Yu said apologetically, "I want to do more, but I don't have enough time."

Money, who doesn't want to earn more, when Yao Yu said this, everyone understood, "Then ask someone to help you do it together."

Yao Yu shook his head, "This procedure is cumbersome, if one step is wrong, the taste of the wine will change."

As soon as they heard that the taste of the wine would change, other people hurriedly said, "Then don't invite anyone, we would rather get up early and buy it."

Yao Yu smiled and said thank you, "If I have more time, I will make more wine."

Due to the launch of the new recipes, Yao Yu’s shop’s daily income has soared to 15 taels, and sometimes it can even exceed 20 taels. It is to prepare the daily rum, steamed buns, and fatty sausage noodles, which is easy to say.

That woman also often came to buy sweet wine. After a long time, Yao Yu also got acquainted with that person. Only then did she know that this woman works in Zhao's residence. The mistress of the family bought it. It is said that the mistresses of the Zhao residence like this sweet wine very much, but because there are too many people waiting in this shop, they ordered Honggu to come directly to the shop to buy it. Sometimes Honggu would bring a few baskets along the way When Baozi went back, Yao Yu would occasionally give Honggu some snacks, such as miscellaneous grain cakes or bean curd mold. In this way, the relationship between Honggu and Yao Yu became closer.

After another full day of work, when everyone was cleaning up the shop, they heard Wang Fengzhen say, "Sister, it is said that Xie Xiuhong was married to the wife in the town by the Xie family."

Master?Yao Yu was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "Is it Master Zhao?"

Wang Fengzhen nodded, "Your sister knows?"

"I don't know." It's just that when I went to Qingshan that day, I met Mrs. Zhao. At that time, Mrs. Zhao must have taken a fancy to Xie Xiuhong, but Mrs. Zhao is so old, she will definitely not marry back as a wife.

Sure enough, just as Yao Yu thought about this, she heard Wang Fengzhen say, "I heard that she is a concubine."

Yao Yu shook his head, this idea must have come from Xie Zhiwen again, Master Zhao has taken a fancy to Xie Xiuhong, Xie Zhiwen must be eager to send Xie Xiuhong out, even as a concubine, just for his own future.

Luo Shi shook his head, "Speaking of which, it's pitiful. Yesterday we heard Xie's family crying, so we went out to look, but we didn't expect to see Xie Xiuhong."

Wang Fengzhen continued, "Isn't it? It's been a long time since I was married, and then I came back, crying tears and snot."

"I have lost a lot of weight." Luo Shi said, "The Xie family did it very heartlessly. They sent Xie Xiuhong back directly." Thinking of Xie Xiuhong's desperate eyes at that time, Luo Shi felt a little apprehensive, "Really?" I don't know why the Xie family is so cruel."

Wang Fengzhen sighed, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, "Forget it, we can live our lives well."

When Yao Yu got home, he started making high-quality wine. Xie Zhimo returned home and drank a big bowl of the high-quality wine that was still at home, as if feeling a little depressed.

Yao Yu asked, "What's the matter?"

Xie Zhimo shook his head, and sat down on the small stool next to him. Yao Yu didn't continue to ask, and waited for Xie Zhimo to calm down.
