Chapter 188 Pepper Vine
"Sister, I told you that the shop belongs to Bao'er, and she paid for the shop herself. From now on, it will be her dowry. Sanlang said that no one can be the owner of the shop."
Chun Niang cracked six eggs into the pot, then used a pair of chopsticks to stir up the gnocchi.
"..." Jiang Yunniang stood up in confusion and ran back to Jiang Dalang's house angrily.
When I saw my mother, Mrs. Jiang Liu, she started to complain: "Mom, why don't you just ignore the mischief that our third brother and his family are doing?"
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Jiang Liu frowned: "Why is Sanlang doing such nonsense?"
Jiang Yunniang pulled me into the house, tugged on her sleeves and whispered, "Chun Niang actually said that the shop was Ying Bao's dowry. Tell me, are Third Brother and the others confused?"
Ms. Jiang Liu brushed away her daughter's hand and glared at her: "What do I mean? That shop belongs to Yingbao. Sanlang said that the money to buy the shop was earned by Yingbao herself. There is nothing wrong with giving her a dowry."
"How much money can she make as a little doll?"
Jiang Yunniang suddenly remembered that Yingbao seemed to be growing golden ears, so she changed the topic: "Even if she earned the money to buy the shop herself, she is not of our Jiang family's blood. You really want her to keep it in your hands." So much money..."
"Shut up!" Mrs. Jiang Liu was angry and pointed at her daughter: "I think you are the one who has lost your mind! Don't say such things again. Yingbao is a child of our Jiang family, and no one can talk about blood!"
Jiang Yunniang was shocked by my mother's harsh words and stared blankly at her, unable to recover for a long time.
Mrs. Jiang Liu sighed, feeling sorry for her daughter after all, and whispered: "Yun Niang, if nothing happens, you can go back. Don't mention the shop again. If your father hears what you just said, he can beat you with a stick. .”
Jiang Yunniang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she felt extremely aggrieved.
I'm just telling the truth, so I can't tolerate it? Sure enough, a married girl is like water thrown out of the house. Who in her mother's family will take her seriously in the future?
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Jiang Yunniang stood up and rushed out of the house, shouting to her son: "Yukun! Yukun! Go hitch the mule cart and let's go home!"
When Sister-in-law Jiang saw her eldest sister suddenly leaving, she didn't stop her. She just said, "Sister, please wait a moment. I'll pull some kohlrabi and bring it back to you to eat."
The kohlrabi is at its fresh and tender stage right now, and it is crunchy and sweet when eaten raw. My eldest sister is from the city and does not grow these at home, so she has to bring some back every time she comes to her parents' house.
"No!" Jiang Yunniang refused. She waited for her son to set up the mule cart, then climbed into the cart and left.
Mrs. Jiang Liu watched her daughter leave and sighed.
A good daughter, she wasn't originally such a good-tempered person. Ever since she and her son-in-law went to the county town to do business, she has become more and more calculating.
Today, the plot was actually blamed on his brother. Alas, luckily Saburo didn't hear what his sister said, otherwise it would have been really ugly.
After breakfast, Yingbao and her second cousin went to the orchard.
Jiang Quan climbed a tree to pick apples and talked about the shop with his little cousin.
My aunt's words are true. Once the apples and pears are sold out, the shop's business will indeed plummet.
Because there are not many people buying preserved fruits and golden ears, not a pound of them will be sold within a few days.
Without the fresh fruits at home to support the scene, the shop would be almost deserted.
"Yingbao, what will happen if the fruits are sold out?" Jiang Quan asked worriedly.
Ying Bao put the big apple she picked into the basket and said, "The boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. You don't have to worry."
At worst, setting up a wonton stall in front of the shop will always work out.
But this is just a last resort, and she won't do it unless she has to.
The food stall seems to be profitable, but in fact it is only enough for food and clothing, and it is not as profitable as growing golden ear.
But the shop has to operate because you have to pay a city tax every month. If you don't pay it overdue, the tax collectors will take away your shelves.
It is really difficult to sell golden ears in a shop, because people who can afford it go to big medicine halls to buy them, and will not come to her little-known shop.
From this point of view, I might as well get some popular products, like the rouge powder made by Er Auntie.
There are many flowers and trees growing in her cave, and there are so many flowers to pick that it would be a pity not to throw them away.
If that didn't work, she would make fragrant pills and sell them.
There are many shops selling medicinal pills in Fucheng, such as storax pills, sobering pills, patchouli, clove, frankincense, agarwood, sandalwood, etc. You can make them for anything you eat or wear.
Opposite her shop is the county school. Which of those talented students doesn't need to be fragrant? For headaches, hot brain, stomach pain, diarrhea, etc., I would first take the pills I prepared myself, and then I would go to the medicine hall for medical treatment if it didn't work.
And if you have Pupil Spring, you can grow a lot of fragrant flower materials, and you can also grow certain medicinal materials, as long as you can get the seeds.
If it still doesn't work, just buy the medicinal materials at the drug store, add a little bit of ingredients into it yourself, and the resulting pills are guaranteed to cure the disease.
After picking several large baskets of apples, another basket of pears, and then two baskets of cantaloupes from the vegetable garden, Jiang Quan moved the baskets onto the carriage, then called two friends to go to the county town together.
Before leaving, he touched the gourd hanging on the fence of his vegetable garden and muttered: "It should be ready in a month, and then it can be sold in the county."
Jiang Quan made a lot of money selling gourds last year, so this year he planted a lot of them in his vegetable garden, waiting for the gourds to mature and sell for money.
Li Dao and Wang Dashan also planted a lot of gourds, but their gourds grew slower than Jiang's, and they don't know why.
Ying Bao sent Jiang Quan away and then went to find Chu Chu.
Chu Chu has been picking peppers with Er Ni and the others these days. After picking, the peppers have to be sent to the river to be soaked in water and peeled.
When Ying Bao was not at home, Chu Chu lived with Er Ni. The two ate, slept and worked together.
When I brought my two dogs to the pepper garden, I saw my father and several villagers cutting pepper vines, apparently ready to insert them.
"Sanlang, we made an agreement, one hundred cents per seedling is one hundred cents, but you must ensure that you can insert it."
The speaker was Nishimura Muramasa Chen Changsheng. "We want five hundred trees, fifty strings in total, and you won't lose a penny when the time comes."
Jiang Sanlang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What, you want to take something without paying? Then don't buy it. There is a long queue in the nearby village waiting to get it."
The villagers in the West Village became anxious upon hearing this and glared at Chen Changsheng, "I mean, Uncle Chen, could you say a few words less?" Wait until Miao is dead. If you talk now, you are asking for trouble.
Seeing that Jiang Sanlang was really standing still, Chen Changsheng said quickly: "I have brought the money, hurry up and cut it." He pointed to the robe beside him, "Fifty taels of silver are all in it."
He was really afraid that Jiang Sanlang would be stubborn and not give Nishimura the pepper vine.
The villagers in my own village have been waiting for a long time. The golden ears and cotton seeds can't take turns, and the pepper vines can't take turns either.
Seeing that Xicun was about to become the poorest village in the entire township, Chen Changsheng felt anxious.
Li Dayong and Li Eryong, who were with Jiang Sanlang, immediately ran to check the amount of silver. They counted the silver in it and nodded to Jiang Sanlang: "Exactly fifty taels."
Jiang Sanlang then used the scissors to cut the vine.
Ying Bao admired her father very much. He could exchange every crop in the house for money.
In fact, she still has a lot of pepper vines. If each chopstick can be sold for a hundred coins, then she can make a fortune even without running a shop.
