The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 46
She can do things that low-class people like small businessmen and peddlers can do.

She wants to maintain the dignity of a scholar that "everything is inferior but studies are high".

The reason why it is said to be temporary is because if a scholar really becomes an official in the future, his salary will be much more than the food expenses, and there is still no problem in supporting a family.Then she wouldn't have to work so hard.

After entering Pingxian County, she went straight to a restaurant that looked quite impressive, which Miss Su remembered from the last time she came here.She was going to sell her own pickled five-spice salted eggs.

Seeing a group of friendly shopkeepers, he handed over an egg directly: "You have a taste, only this one has no semicolon."

What can a pickled egg do?The shopkeeper was angry and funny, and he wanted to ignore the country girl, but when he saw her dark eyes, he changed his mind: "Let's have a taste, this girl is for nothing, I don't care." will give money."

"That's natural." Su Xiazhi nodded with a smile.Sure enough, he was a businessman, and the restaurant behind him was so big, he would still calculate the money for a pickled egg with her.

The shopkeeper didn't use a knife either. He just knocked the eggs on the table and peeled them. He sniffed the eggs without eating them, then raised his eyes to Miss Su and said, "It smells like meat. Spices."

Su Xiazhi raised her eyebrows, but smiled without saying a word, and just stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant broke the peeled egg with his hands, and nodded when he saw the oily yolk: "It has been marinated thoroughly, at least forty days..."

Su Xiazhi was still smiling, waiting for him to taste it.

But when a bite of the egg came into his mouth, the shopkeeper couldn't help showing a surprised expression, and immediately called the waiter, put the remaining egg in the plate and handed it to him: "Send it to Master Zhao."

The little boy walked away quickly with half an egg in his hand, and he also looked suspicious, not understanding how this egg was different from the one he sold at home.

The restaurant has not yet started its business for a day. Originally, the shopkeeper just stood at the counter and talked to Su Xiazhi. Now he has invited someone to the private room and poured tea for her by himself.

Su Xiazhi thanked her, took a sip from her teacup, knowing that she was waiting for news, so she was not in a hurry.

After a while, a neat middle-aged man walked in, nodded to the shopkeeper, and then went straight to Su Xiazhi with bright eyes: "Girl, is this pickled by your family? Good craftsmanship !"

"You're welcome!" Miss Su got up and saluted.In the restaurant, the status of Master Stove Master is not low. If she wants to do long-term business, she naturally needs to make a good impression on others.

"My surname is Li, and this is Master Zhao." It wasn't until this time that the shopkeeper Li of the restaurant formally introduced Su Xiazhi, and Miss Su got up again to collect her clothes and salute, and the two sides really talked.

Shopkeeper Li is a shrewd person, and he is willing to buy a prescription with money inside and out.However, after a few words, he found that the woman sitting across from him spoke without leaking and laughing, but Yingying just didn't get it.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up.

The two sides went back and forth to argue about the price, and in the end it was agreed: for nine cents each, his house will sell it under the sole responsibility of the seller, and Ms. Su will not be allowed to sell it to another house.

Such a price was a penny lower than the price of buying and selling in the market, but fortunately, Miss Su would not need to deliver the goods in the future, but they would pick them up by themselves. This alone saved a lot of time, so Su Xiazhi readily agreed.

Walking with no means of transportation and only relying on a basket is by no means a long-term solution.What's more, in business, everyone earns the money, and you can earn more by letting others earn money...you can give up a penny of interest.

I left the address, counted the pickled eggs in the back basket, collected the money, and made an appointment for the next time to pick up the goods. Su Xiazhi got up and left the restaurant. When I went out, I looked back at the signboard of 'Jufulou', and the shopkeeper Li delivered it to me. After coming out, Su Xiazhi hurriedly waved goodbye.

With more than 120 pickled eggs, she got more than one or two taels of silver, and earned about [-] yuan after the cost. Small business, steady flow, this business is doing well!Su Xiazhi walked briskly towards the county government office, with a smile on her lips, a little proud in her heart.

This is the first business she has done in two lifetimes, she has made money!Although it wasn't much, she really made money with her own hands, and this alone made her very excited.

Ping County is not very big, but it is very prosperous.After all, it is a place guarded by the county magistrate, and people with a little status and wealth in the vicinity are willing to go here.

After turning two or three streets, I saw the most majestic building in the county - the county government office. Su Xiazhi stopped and looked around. Unsurprisingly, at the corner of the street, I saw the mule cart of Zhou Lizheng's family walking quietly. stop there.

"Hey, Xiucai, your sister hates me so much. If you accidentally pissed her off, you can't blame me. It's all her own fault..." Miss Su walked forward unhurriedly with a mean smile on her face. .

A mule cart with a shed was parked out of the way on the side of the street.The car curtain was half lifted, and Min Qinglan was sitting inside, rubbing the skirt hanging from her waist with both hands.

Woke up earlier than a chicken, hurriedly drove the car to Ping County, when she arrived, the gate of the county government was closed, and the people inside had not started their business.

I thought that my younger brother's granary expenses would fall into my pocket properly, but I never thought that she would actually take a soft nail from Mr. Zhao: "It's not easy to give out the seal without a scholar. I'm sorry. No, you should go back and get the seal first..."

Take a seal?She pretended to be sick and didn't visit her younger brother because of a fall a few days ago, but now she has to go back to her mother's house for the money, what will others say about her?

Out of the yamen blushing, she got into the car directly.My buttocks are already sitting still, but I'm still so angry!

Lan Sheng, when did you start to have an eye for your sister?I pretended to be sick and asked you to visit me, and you also pretended to be sick, and even pretended to hurt yourself. Could it be that you married a fool, and you are also stupid?Do you have to hurt yourself to be reconciled?

If you don't want your sister to come to get the money, just say it directly, why bother me to make another trip and be laughed at by Mr. Zhao!

Since you met a fool, you are not the younger brother in my heart...

Fool, yes, so many things happened because of her!That silly woman is a villain...don't meet me...huh!
"Young Mistress, are you going back?" After waiting for a long time, the people in the car didn't say anything, so they had to ask honestly.
