Nongmen Merchant Girl

Chapter 32 Li Wei
Xujia'ao was originally a small village of about [-] households. At this time, Xu Youtian's courtyard was full of villagers watching the excitement.

"I said you are idiots!" She repeated what she just said slowly and clearly.

The second uncle pointed at her, his fingers trembling from anger.

"Didn't you say that this recipe was passed down from the Xu family? Then let me ask my second aunt, what would you do if I gave you the recipe?" She ignored her second uncle, but asked her second aunt Liu Yuejing with a smile on her face. .

Hearing what she said, Liu Yuejing raised her head proudly, "If this recipe is given to me, of course I will use it to make a fortune."

"Hmph, four generations of Xu's family are all from poor peasants, and there are no wealthy businessmen in the family. I dare to ask you, if you have a peerless formula, would you have used this to make a fortune long ago? The Xu family is not what it is today. It’s the same situation.” Xu Ru stood among the crowd, with an outstanding demeanor, neither humble nor overbearing.

"This..." The few people standing there had nothing to say.

The onlookers started discussing one after another.That's right, dozens of households in Xujia'ao are a family for three generations. We have lived here for several generations, and we have never heard of any secret recipes for getting rich in this Xu family.

"Hmph, it's clear that they are jealous of my family's business and want to steal my family's secret recipe." Zhaodi said angrily.

After Zhaodi said this, the second uncle looked ashamed and indignant and didn't know what to do, so he winked at the second aunt.

"Then, who knows what the old ancestor thinks, I don't know what the old ancestor thinks, I'm a woman who talks nonsense by myself." The second aunt said hesitantly.

"Second uncle, you also know that I was stupid for a long time before. When I fell ill and fell into a coma last time, I dreamed of a fairy."

She smiled and said this to the old man. Generally, old people are superstitious and conservative.

"The immortal said, pity me for being stupid for so many years. I have been bullied all the time. My family is too poor and there are so many siblings. So I gave me this secret recipe for making a living. Let me be filial to my parents and benefit the village."

Speaking of this, the second aunt saw that she couldn't find any other reason to ask for the secret recipe, so she said,
"Hehe, I guess we figured it out. Anyway, they are all my brothers, and we are blessed to share it together. Even if the recipe belongs to the fourth child, but I am her aunt, it is wrong for you to get rich and forget about it."

Xu Ru smiled slightly, "Auntie, you are right, all the villagers in Xujiaao are relatives of my family, and I will definitely not forget everyone."

She paused for a moment, and raised her voice slightly, "From now on, our family will buy the extra peanuts that everyone collects, and the price is one penny higher per catty than outside."

Xu Ru's action immediately gained him a lot of popularity in the village, and then everyone said that the second child of the Xu family, Xu Youwei, was too much.

Under the ridicule of everyone, the second aunt's family left in despair.

"This has been negotiated with Yumanlou's supply. The happy beans are delivered once every three days, and the boiled peanuts are delivered every day, because they should be eaten fresh and should not be stored for too long. I plan to buy a cow , it will not be so tiring to deliver and sell peanuts every day, father, what do you think?"

After seeing off the people outside, the family sat on the kang in the west room to discuss matters.

"Also, Zhaodi, you are in charge of buying peanuts in the village, and the second sister is in charge of boiling and frying peanuts. Tomorrow, I will recruit two clean hands and feet in the village to help, or I won't be tired if I do so much by myself. , the specific salary and so on, mother, you can decide."

After Xu Ru arranged these things, she felt a lot more relaxed.

"Your sister Chunmei is also a good child, let her help, and the wages are only [-] cents a day." The mother was the first to express her opinion.

"I think it's okay. Although her second aunt is a favorite and takes advantage of others, Chunmei is a good child, and she has suffered a lot." Xu's father fully supports Xu Ru's approach, and feels that this daughter is really different. She has her own ideas and craftsmanship. Although she doesn't know where her ideas come from, he doesn't ask, as long as she is his daughter, that's enough.

In the evening, the sky began to rain heavily.Xu Ru saw that Abao was carrying a small basin by the bedside, and Zhaodi was also carrying a wooden barrel and placing it in a part of the room.After asking, I found out that the house at home was leaking. Every time the rain was a little bit heavier, there would be water dripping in several places in the house, so they all had experience and prepared in advance.

"Abao is really sensible. Soon, my sister will let you live in a new house, so you won't have to worry about the rain in the future." Xu Ru stroked Abao's head and made up her mind that the first thing to do is to repair the house when you have money. house.

"Really! Oh... oh... We are going to live in a new house soon, hahaha...!" Po jumped up and down on the bed.

While talking, A Bao came up and gave Xu Ru a "boom" kiss on the face.

"Fourth sister, you smell so sweet." Ah Bao hugged her arm and said innocently.

Zhaodi also came over and sniffed it vigorously, "Yeah, why didn't I notice it, Simei, what did you rub on your body, it really smells like a scent."

But Xu Ru didn't hear it.She only felt that her skin had turned whiter in the past two days.

In fact, she knew in her heart that maybe she really had a fragrance on her body, but how could she explain it to others.

"I bought a lot of fabrics today. Ah Bao and Third Sister, let's find my mother to measure the clothes and make new clothes." Mother and Second Sister should be cooking peanuts in the kitchen now.

Among the sisters, the eldest sister’s female popularity is average, the second sister’s silver flower embroidery is not good, but making clothes is still better, and Zhao Di can only sew and mend by herself, but she still can’t make clothes, and she needs to practice for a few years Not to mention Xu Ru, in the last life, at most, it was okay to sew a button, and the clothes were replaced even if they were not worn out. How could there be a chance to wait for them to rot and do it yourself? Embroidering cross-stitch is not bad.So only Xu's mother and Yinhua took time to catch up on the sewing at home.

"Mom, let's go see Eldest Sister tomorrow, I haven't seen Eldest Sister for a long time."

Thinking about the risk of giving birth to a woman in ancient times, she didn't know much, but she listened to a lot, so she should go and see this elder sister as soon as possible, and take precautions as soon as possible.

"That's right. Maybe I haven't seen Jinhua for a long time, but this family is so busy, can I take care of it?"

"Mother, go with Fourth Sister, Third Sister and I can do it at home." Yinhua was marking the blue cloth with charcoal.

"Second sister, tomorrow morning you and your father will go to Yumanlou to deliver the boiled peanuts first, and then sell the rest of the peanuts at the place where they were sold the day before yesterday, at twenty yuan a catty, to see if there are any repeat customers, and to inquire about the reputation by the way. .”
