The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 93 Wine

Everyone nodded when they heard it, it is indeed such a reason.

"In addition to beautifying and nourishing the skin, this wine can also promote sleep." Yao Yu said, wine can expand blood vessels and prevent cancer. There are more than one or two benefits. It's just that there are too many things to say, and guests will inevitably feel that there is an element of bragging in it .

When everyone heard this, they all wanted to try it, but Yao Yu still had a limit, and each person could only buy one bowl a day. Aunt Wu and the others were dumbfounded, "Sister, there are so many benefits to this wine?"

"Of course, the benefits are more than that. People will naturally discover it after a long time." Yao Yu said, especially to promote sleep. Drink a small cup before going to bed. After a long time, people will naturally realize it.

Unexpectedly, the sales of wine are also good. Taking advantage of the time to eat grapes, Yao Yu will make a jar every day when he goes back. Yao Chang brought back [-] catties of grapes today, "Sister, these grapes are going to be sold soon." It's out of season, do you need any other fruits?"

Yao Yu shook his head, "These grapes are enough, there is nothing else at present, if there are, I will tell my second brother."

For the past two months, Yao Chang would buy a large bag of grapes every day, which must have cost a lot, but Yao Yu hadn't thought of any way to make up for Yao Chang's vacancy.

"We only collect duck feathers, not duck eggs." Xie Zhimo's embarrassed voice came from outside the house. Yao Yu walked to the door and found that many villagers came at some time, and everyone was carrying one or two big baskets.

"That won't work. We raise ducks because you want to collect duck feathers. Now you also have to collect duck eggs."

"That's right, it's not because you want duck feathers, what kind of ducks do we raise?"

Xie Zhimo felt a little helpless, in previous years these people had ducks, but this year they must have duck eggs that could not be sold, that's why they came here.

"You are so rich, what's the matter with taking a few duck eggs?"

Xie Zhimo was taken aback, "Are you a few duck eggs?"

There were more than a dozen people standing outside the door, each of them carrying a basket, and the duck eggs they brought might be worth thousands.

The villager also felt that he had said it, and sighed, "Actually, we don't want to come to you, but we really have nowhere to go."

"That's right, our duck eggs were sold to the town in the past, but I didn't expect the town to refuse anything."

"We have saved so many duck eggs, what should we do?"

Xie Zhimo shook his head, "But it's useless if we take it away."

"Brother Zhimo, you can do it."

"Yeah, we have the old at the top and the young at the bottom."

Xie Zhimo said firmly, "I'm really sorry, we really don't accept it."

If they accept the duck eggs from this group of villagers today, there will definitely be more people to ask them to accept the duck eggs tomorrow. Most of the family's money is earned by Yao Yu, not by the strong wind. Such a waste, so is Xie Zhimo Distressed.

Seeing that Xie Zhimo had solved the problem, Yao Yu went back to the house and continued to work.

On the second day, Aunt Wu was full of sadness, and she didn't answer after asking several times. Finally, Yao Yu asked again and again, and Aunt Wu finally said, "Isn't this family feeding dozens of ducks? Every year, people buy duck eggs. A few days ago We saved [-] duck eggs and asked my eldest son to take them to the town, only to find out that no one would accept them.”

Aunt Wu sighed, and then said, "You can't sell it alone. Now all you need are eggs. How can anyone buy duck eggs? No, I have hundreds of duck eggs saved at home, and they are about to rot. What's the matter?" Do it."

Wang Fengzhen and Luo's family didn't feed ducks, so they didn't worry. Seeing Aunt Wu's anxious look, they were also anxious, but they couldn't think of a good way.

"Aunt Wu, how much do you sell duck eggs in the town?" Yao Yu asked.

Aunt Wu said, "Two Wen for one, and if the quantity is large, they are usually sold for three Wen."

Yao Yu nodded, "Go back and ask your son to bring the duck eggs to my house, and I'll take them all."

Aunt Wu's face instantly burst into surprise, but immediately became a little worried, "I know what you mean, but we can't cheat you." The implication is that the duck eggs will not be sent to Yao Yu's house.

In fact, Wang Fengzhen and Luo Shi also heard about it. Recently, many villagers came to Xie Zhimo to sell duck eggs, but Xie Zhimo didn't confiscate them. I didn't expect Yao Yu to take the initiative to ask for it today, presumably to help Aunt Wu.

"Aunt Wu misunderstood, I bought these duck eggs and they are really useful." When Aunt Wu said just now, a well-formed idea popped into Yao Yu's mind.

"Really?" Aunt Wu asked dubiously.

"Really, if this method succeeds, I will always go to Aunt Wu's house to collect duck eggs in the future." Yao Yu said half-jokingly.

After arriving in Shuangshui Village, Yao Yu repeatedly explained that the duck eggs must be delivered. Originally, Yao Yu wanted to collect the duck eggs at the price of two pennies, but what Aunt Wu said was three pennies. After helping them a lot, Aunt Wu didn't want to take advantage anymore, so Yao Yu could only say, "Okay, that's right, if anyone around you wants to sell duck eggs, you can send them to me, and the price will be the same as that given to Aunt Wu, San Wen two."

After a while, Aunt Wu's eldest son brought duck eggs, 580 in total, and Yao Yu gave him 290 Wen. As soon as Yao Yu put the duck eggs away, many villagers came outside the house to sell duck eggs. Are you collecting duck eggs again?"

After receiving Yao Yu's affirmative answer, the villagers huddled together and were on the verge of fighting.

Yao Yu could only say, "Everyone line up and come one by one, okay?" Seeing that the villagers didn't respond, Yao Yu continued, "Don't worry, I'll take all the duck eggs you bring, as long as they're not bad, so please line up well." How is the team?"

Fortunately, the villagers heard more about it. Seeing that Yao Yu had collected them, they formed a team and came one by one. Yao Yu checked the duck eggs one by one, counted them, and paid after confirming that they were correct.

When Xie Zhimo and Yao Chang came back, they saw a long line standing at the door of their house. When they walked in, they realized that Yao Yu was collecting duck eggs. Seeing the two men standing in a daze at the door, Yao Yu hurriedly shouted, "Come and help, as long as it is Good duck eggs are charged at the price of three pennies."

Xie Zhimo was the first to react, "You can also come here and line up."

Yao Chang stood on the other side and said, "I'm still here."

The three of them worked for an hour before collecting all the duck eggs.

"Sister, what are you doing with so many duck eggs?" Yao Chang asked, Xie Zhimo also didn't understand, "Actually, if you can't refuse, I can come next time..."

Xie Zhimo thought that Yao Yu was forced to accept the duck egg, Yao Yu said with a smile, "I'm only really useful, can you get me some lime tomorrow? The more the better."

"Lime?" Yao Chang and Xie Zhimo looked at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes, but soon they replied in unison, "Okay, leave it to us!"

Yao Yu came back from Jiangzhou on the second day, and went to the mountains to find a lot of weeds, and then burned them in the backyard. While taking care of these weeds and burning them into firewood ashes, he also had to deal with the villagers who came to sell duck eggs.

As soon as Yao Chang and Xie Zhimo came back, Yao Yu handed over the collection of duck eggs to Xie Zhimo and the firewood ashes to Yao Chang, and then he went into the stove with the lime and the burned firewood ashes.

Alkali and salt are already available at home. Yao Yu put these two things into boiling water and stirred them evenly. Roll it in a circle, and put it into the jar after being covered with ash.

The ashes looked like a big pot, and they were used up in a short while. Yao Yu hurriedly mixed new ashes and continued to roll the duck eggs. The more likely it will go bad.

Yao Yu worked like this all night, and only got one-third of the duck eggs. This is not counting the overcharge today. It seems that the next few days will be so busy.In this way, duck eggs become preserved eggs after being stored for a month and a half. The reason why Yao Yu makes preserved eggs is that besides selling them alone, they can also be made into preserved eggs and lean meat porridge. The most important thing is that preserved eggs can be stored for a long time.

After all the duck eggs were processed, it was already early winter. Yao Yu wondered whether the store should put a few heaters in the store, otherwise the breakfast would be cold when it was served. Customers liked eating flower rolls more and more. The spicy taste of pepper makes people sweat easily, and more customers order fatty sausage noodles, most of them come for the pepper.

"You guys go back first. I'll go to the grocery store and buy some heaters." Yao Yu brought the heaters back and saw Sister Liu sitting in the store.

"Sister Liu, why are you here?" Yao Yu asked in surprise. Generally, the real clothing workshop is the busiest at the beginning of the season change.

Sister Liu's face was full of joy, obviously she had met something happy, "Sister, do you still remember the down jacket?"

"Of course I remember." Yao Yu has been stuffing it for several months, and he can't count how many sets he has.

"I launched the down jackets in late autumn." Sister Liu said, "Add some promotion and give some discounts to some frequent customers. No, it's only a few days in early winter, and hundreds of sets can be sold every day. .”

"Hundreds of sets?" Yao Yu almost bit his tongue. It seems that he needs to be famous in order to do business. I think it was so hard for Yao Yu to sell down jackets on the first day when he came to Jiangzhou, and he could sell dozens of sets a day. It's all pretty good, I didn't expect Sister Liu to sell hundreds of sets a day.

"Well, there are only half of the inventory sold in the past few days." Speaking of this, Sister Liu showed a worried look, "Sister, do you still have duck feathers?"

"This..." Yao Yu was also a little embarrassed, "I still have some at home, but not many." At most ten sets would be good.

"What should I do?" Such a good business, it would be bad if it sold out.

"It's not easy to collect duck feathers now." Yao Yu said, "Why don't I go back to the village and ask."

Having said that, both of them knew that it would be so easy to collect duck feathers before the duck moulting season.
