take a wife to support the family

Chapter 232 Miscellaneous Treasure Gold Bracelet

Xiao Biesheng was newly married, the young couple kept their tenderness overnight, and the next morning, Lily's face was still flushed like last night's hangover, her limbs were sore and limp, and she greedily wrapped her arms around Song Haonian's waist, unwilling to move.

Song Haonian had something on her mind, she urged her to get up in a gentle voice, Lily stretched her waist, got up to wash, sat at the table and fixed her hair in front of the mirror, and was about to go to the store to pick up breakfast.

Song Haonian quickly grabbed her, "Aren't you wearing jewelry today?"

Lily touched the silver-plated hairpin on her head, it was pulled out yesterday and placed beside the pillow, she put it on conveniently, and did not open the makeup box again in the morning.

Song Haonian's eyes were bright, and she couldn't hold back her anticipation. Seeing this, she couldn't help wondering if this person bought her something else.

Finally, he walked over and opened the makeup box to have a look, and couldn't help but exclaimed "Yeah".

In the makeup box, there were several silver-plated copper bracelets and hairpins, hollow silver bracelets, a twisted silver bracelet and a gold-plated butterfly hairpin, which are the most precious things.On top of this pile of things, there are three shining golden jewelry.

A gold hairpin with round strands and a lily bud on the head, which fits her name exactly, and it also means "a happy marriage for a hundred years" in it.Next to the gold hairpin is a pair of gold bracelets, with plain faces and no patterns on them, but the light reflected by the gold alone dazzles the eyes.

Lily was delighted and surprised, she turned around and asked him, "Why do you buy these things? Are they expensive?"

Expensive is naturally expensive. One tael of gold can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver. Even if these things are not heavy, at least they are worth three to five taels. Song Haonian spent three to five hundred taels of silver this time. It took several years, and Lily couldn't help being surprised.

Song Haonian said with a smile: "I said before that one day I will ask you to wear gold and silver, but I can't say it for nothing. You can try it on and see if it looks good or not?"

No matter how expensive silver is, you can't eat it. After all, it is an object for people to use. Lily saw that Song Haonian was generous, and she didn't worry about the price of these things anymore. She sat down at the table and said with a smile: "Come and give me the plug Look up."

Song Haonian supported her hair, carefully inserted the gold hairpin into her hair, looked around for a while, and then made some adjustments, Lily saw it in the mirror, and smiled with her lips pursed.

She put on the bracelet by herself, and stretched Bai Shengsheng's wrist to Song Haonian's eyes: "Isn't it pretty?"

Lily refuses to bask in the sun as soon as summer comes, and covers herself tightly, like the second younger sister of Song Dynasty, rolling up her sleeves to work, her arms are tanned black and red, she is no worse than a man, but Lily is still as white as ever The congealed lard, now illuminated by the golden light of the bracelet, made the skin look whiter and the table shiny.

Song Haonian's eyes stared straight: "It's pretty." He couldn't hold back, and lowered his head to kiss her on the forearm.

A kiss was not enough, just rubbed her nose and mouth on her arm, Lily made him itchy, smiled and pulled out her hand, took off the bracelet and put it back in the makeup box, still wearing the silver one.

"Why, you don't like it?" Song Haonian saw that his daughter-in-law looked pretty wearing gold jewelry.

Lily said: "It's a gold hairpin and a gold bracelet, it's a bit too ostentatious, now it's not the Chinese New Year or the festival, I still have to work, I'm afraid of throwing them off when I wear them, so it's better to put them away and wear them in turn .Wait until the Chinese New Year to worship the ancestors and then wear the full set.”

Song Haonian nodded: "You are also reasonable." He chatted with Lily again, "I don't have enough money, and I have to keep it for my family. I saw a very beautiful bracelet and didn't dare to buy it."

What he looked at was a gold bracelet inlaid with precious stones. The face was as wide as a finger and was covered with flowers on the ground. It was inlaid with eighteen gemstones of different colors, some were red, blue or green. The base was a circle of equal size. The fried gold beads are very rich and expensive, and they are the treasure of the store in the silver building.

Lily laughed when she heard it: "Such a precious thing can make up our family's entire net worth, how can I use that?"

Song Haonian said: "People who are slightly worse than that can't wear them. Either they think it's black or they think it's rough. I think it's suitable for you to wear."

"Hey, once you go out, you will learn how to compare women's dark skin." Lily squinted at Song Haonian.

He quickly assured: "I didn't look at other people!"

He just felt that no one else deserved to wear that bracelet except his wife.

Lily was surprised and laughed, and was moved: "Our family is doing very well now, and I am not dissatisfied. The things you said are good, but I have to exchange half of my wealth for them. I don't think so. Yes. According to me, let’s live slowly, and when we are seventy or eighty, we may be able to afford it.”

She laughed as she talked, and Song Haonian laughed too, thinking that she was seventy or eighty, and also a pretty little old lady.

The young couple held hands and went to the tofu shop for breakfast. When Song Haonian was away, the job of delivering tofu fell to Wen Wa's father. When he returned home, he would still deliver tofu everywhere.

Lily is now in better health than before, and started to settle accounts again, and turned around to discuss with Li Caifeng and Wen Wa Niang: "Dried tofu, tofu skin, etc. It's all right, stinky tofu smells strong, it's not good to store it in the store, it's better to stick it outside." stall."

The smell of stinky tofu can go far away, and you can smell fried stinky tofu all over the street. Not many people can bear the smell. Run away.

Li Caifeng said: "That's right, I tasted it when Wenwa Niang made it before, and it tasted good. It was a bit weird at first, but the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes. It's the same. It's too stinky!"

Wen Wa Niang made stinky tofu in the backyard, and she could even faintly smell the smell from the front. Thanks to the strong wind that day, Lily picked the flowers in time and put them in the store to prevent the smell, so as not to scare away customers.

This will take a long time to do, and we must choose a place farther away.

Li Caifeng thought for a while, then clapped her hands: "I think Caixia is very good!"

Liu Sanping's daughter-in-law Tao Caixia always wanted to do business with Lily and the others, but Lily didn't have any suitable ideas for a while, so it would be a feasible way to hand over the stinky tofu stand to her.

Wen Wa Niang also said: "Sanping's daughter-in-law is a smart person."

Lily nodded: "Let's talk to her later, as long as she doesn't think it smells bad and can withstand the wind, sun, and rain outside."

After talking for a while, Song Haonian brought back the tofu, seeing that Lily was talking happily, he didn't force her to go home, but said: "Sister-in-law, I will leave my daughter-in-law to you, don't make her tired."

And told Lily, "I'll go home and look at the field, and you'll be back at noon."

Li Caifeng pushed Lily: "Look, I can't leave for a moment!"

Lily blushed, and said to Song Haonian: "Go ahead, I won't mess around again." But a few words of discussion didn't tire her out.The human brain doesn't need to rust, she doesn't want to become stupid, when it's time to use her brain, she can't think of a way, and then it's useless to cry.

Li Caifeng is also a young woman, she had seen the gold hairpin on Lily's head long ago, but she had no time to talk about it, now she used Song Haonian's words to talk about it again: "Pure gold?"

Lily pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know, maybe some silver was mixed into it." Pure gold is too soft to be beaten, and it will deform after wearing it for two days, so you have to mix some silver or other things into the gold when you make jewelry. It is only called pure gold because of its rich composition.

Li Caifeng tapped her forehead: "Fuck me!"

She sighed and said: "The New Year loves you, don't make him feel cold, wear these things when they should be worn, and don't be afraid that others will say that you are a waste. Everything is worthless, but this gold is valuable at any time. It’s just that if something happens at home in the future, you can pick it up and pay back the money, and it won’t get in the way.”

Many people exchange silver money for gold because gold is valuable. Sometimes they can't exchange the whole piece of small yellow croaker, so it is also good to exchange it for gold jewelry.

Lily nodded: "Da Nian also told me that, if it's a pearl or something, it will turn yellow after wearing it for two years, it's not as precious as before, and the appearance of gold won't change, he said, just put it in the bank The money in it is on my head."

The two sisters laughed for a while, and Li Caifeng joked: "Is it heavy to put so much money on your head?"

"Oh, my head is heavy." Li Caifeng supported her head and fell on Li Caifeng. Li Caifeng laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, and Wen Waniang couldn't stop laughing, and said next to her, "The baby is so big, it looks like two children."

The next day Lily invited Tao Caixia to come over to talk, and asked her if she would like to take over the job of stinky tofu. When Tao Caixia heard "stinky tofu", her eyes widened: "Some people like to eat stinky things?"

"It smells stinky, tastes good to eat." Lily said, she took her to the backyard to look at stinky tofu, opened a jar, and an indescribable stench hit her nostrils, Tao Caixia couldn't help retching.

Looking inside, I saw a jar of water that was as black as mud in the jar. If Lily said that it was for food, Tao Caixia would not believe it even if she killed her.

Lily took a pair of long chopsticks, stirred it in the jar, and picked up a piece of stinky tofu gently and skillfully. Tao Caixia said in her heart: How can I eat this tofu that is obviously long-haired and rotten? Tofu lied to me?
After thinking about it, Li Baihe never lied to anyone about doing business, and it was useless for her to think too much. She still had to ask: "Is this food really edible? Why does it look like it's broken?"

"You can just ask. If you don't ask, I can't rest assured." Lily dare not cooperate with those who do business in a daze.

She put the stinky tofu back into the jar and put the lid back on. Tao Caixia rubbed her nose and felt that the smell was not so bad. Then Lily said: "It's not wrong to say that this is made of bad tofu that can't be sold." , only one thing, this stinky tofu won't eat bad people, and it's not really bad, but it's like the hair on the glutinous rice, which makes it delicious."

Taking fermented glutinous rice as an example, Tao Caixia understood a little bit, and said, "It's just that the smell is really bad. If it doesn't taste good, I'm afraid I will lose money."

The unsold tofu can still be sold for money if it is baked into dried tofu, but if it is made into stinky tofu but cannot be sold, it will really lose money.

Lily smiled and said, "What are you in a hurry for? Since I want to invite you to do business together, how can I not worry about it. Let's take a jar of stinky tofu to my house, and I'll fry a few pieces and you'll know after a taste."
