Skillful Wife of Military - C25
When Xiao Li’s disease entered the roomhee immediately apologized to Ann’s, saying that he did not get a good night’s sleep with a headache, and after they left, she stared at them for a while. Unexpectedly, he just stared too far, and Third Brother’s wife did not wake her up in time.
Ann’s and Zhou’s sat steadily, and when they heard what Xiao Li’s disease said, they did not even bother to reply. Xiao Li’s disease talked to himself, but no one answered, making them feel extremely awkward. They could only ask He’s to put down the things in their hands, and try to say a few good words to rectify the situation, before preparing to leave in embarrassment.
With one foot stepping on the door, he gifted them with meat and eggs, but did not receive any benefits. Xiao Li’s disease pulled Xu Hui unwillingly and walked to a corner of the door, whispering, “Dazong’s daughter-in-law, does your uncle have some classmates? Is there anyone we know here? ”
Xu Hui was stunned. She lowered her eyelashes and rolled her eyes. So that was their plan. No wonder their attitude had changed so quickly and they were playing tricks in front of her. Was this considered sending themselves over for her to tease?
Xu Hui looked up and smiled, “I’m sure we have classmates, but my uncle doesn’t want to be an official, so he didn’t take the exam again.” Xu Hui looked up and smiled, “I’m sure we have classmates, but my uncle doesn’t want to be an official, so he didn’t take the exam again.
“Then you must remember to ask. If there is a reply, tell me quickly. Your Third Uncle is about to take the exam and there is someone above to look after him. If he can pass, our family will benefit.” Isn’t that right? ”
“You’re right, I’ll definitely write a letter to help you ask. But our Jiang Prefecture is so far away, so the letters will take one or two months on the road. Please don’t be impatient!”
“Alright, Dazong’s daughter-in-law, I knew you were a good person!” The Xiao Li’s disease smiled brilliantly. Although Xu Hui smiled, he snorted in his heart. The He’s was so jealous that his eyes turned red, yet his mother-in-law actually praised this Dazong’s daughter-in-law that he had never seen before!
After sending away Xiao Li’s disease and He’s, Xu Hui looked at Niu Niu, who was listening in on him, Xiao Li’s disease, and the others. He rubbed her head, bowed and said, “Remember to help sister-in-law keep it a secret, but you can’t let your grandma and the others know that I’ve already written the letter. Otherwise, those meat, eggs, and the like just now, they will take it back!”
When Niu Niu heard this, she hurriedly nodded and promised, “Sister-in-law, I won’t say it, give it to brother, I won’t say it!”
Xu Hui …
Why does it feel like I’m teaching a child!
Xu Hui could not help but shake her head. She was teaching Niuniu survival skills. Yes, survival skills!
Walking into the house and meeting the gaze of Ann’s, Zhou’s and the others, Xu Hui smiled and said softly, “Nothing much, I want uncle to see if there are any close friends here so I can help Third Uncle!”
“Aiyo, this is really …” The Zhou’s, who rarely talked about anyone else, frowned. The actions of the Xiao Family were really too much for anyone to look down upon!
Ann’s asked Xu Hui, “Then how do you plan to deal with it?”
“I promised her!”
“AHH!” How can that be, the sky is far away, Qiao Jieer, it’s not good for you to cause trouble for your uncle! ” Zhou’s was an honest man, he got anxious when he heard about it.
Xu Hui smiled and patted Zhou’s’s hands: “Aunt, don’t worry, although I promised, I might not necessarily do it. Anyway, I told her that it would take a month or two for the letter to arrive on the road, and when she asks again, I’ll tell her that Uncle doesn’t know anyone, so what can she do? At most, you just have to say something unpleasant, and I’ll just not listen! ” Xu Hui imitated Xiao Li’s disease’s actions, making Xu Yu and Niu Niu laugh.
Zhou’s could not help but laugh, “Child, how can you fool others like this!”
However, Ann’s hugged Xu Hui and said, “I think that’s good. Originally, I was not at ease, but now that Qiao Jieer has ideas and means, I am relieved. After all, we have to raise thousands of people with different kinds of rice, and use whatever methods we can use on those who know how to use etiquette, and unreasonable methods on those who do not understand etiquette, Qiao Jieer will follow your mother. Thank god!”
“Granny is right!” Zhou’s nodded as he spoke. It was really a pity that Qiao Jieer was as capable and astute as him. If she was a scholar like Xu Jingan, she would really be angered to death in a house like the Xiao family!
Zhou’s suggested that they go back. They were originally here on foot, so it took them more than four hours to walk from Guest House to Xiao Jia Village. Although it wasn’t too late yet, it was better to set off early than to arrive home at night.
Since they were going, they should go bid their farewells to Xiao Pao. Even if Ann’s knew the background of the Xiao family, he wouldn’t let them see through their mistake so easily. The group of people then got up and walked towards the upper houses.
This time, Xiao Pao was actually here as well. Xu Hui thought, he must be afraid that Xiao Li’s disease would not do everything well and offend him again, but if he was here, maybe she could be of use today.
Ann’s and the rest sat down and exchanged a few words of greeting before leaving.
Seeing that the Xiao family didn’t express anything, Xu Hui hurriedly said, “Second Grandma, Aunt, the Wang family has a big carriage in the village. You can go back in the carriage and save the trouble of walking!”
“No need, no need, we ladies can just slowly walk back!” Ann’s quickly waved his hand. Zhou’s also quickly said that there was no need for it.
Xu Hui took out his handkerchief and pressed it against the corner of his eyes. Her eyes immediately turned red, and she could not help but sniff. She had smeared too much ginger juice. It was unbearable!
Xu Hui held the Ann’s and the Zhou’s’s hands and said, “Don’t just feel sorry for me, Second Grandma and Aunt don’t know how to feel for themselves. Come all the way here and you still have to walk back painstakingly, how do you expect me to feel? I still have some dowry money in my hands, and I can still take the money to ride on the carriage!”
Xiao Pao could not hold it in and hurriedly said: “What is Dazong’s daughter-in-law saying, we have an ox-cart. I will get Second Brother to give it to you!”
Xiao Li’s disease glared at Xiao Pao angrily. His oxen, treasures were all alike, how could he bear to hitchhike and pull people away!
However, Xu Hui had already blessed Xiao Pao. With tears in her eyes, she said gratefully, “Thank you, grandfather!”
After Xu Hui sent off Ann’s and the rest, Xiao Li’s disease watched as her oxcart slowly walked away and frowned as she glared at Xu Hui. She would probably have to get help from her uncle and would not be able to get angry, so she shouted to He’s, “Come here and help me, I have a headache!” She felt a headache coming on. Today, she didn’t even get to take advantage of the deal. Not only was she stuck with a basket of eggs, she even spent her own ox-cart. Even her heart ached!
Xu Hui smiled as she looked at Xiao Li’s disease, “Your milk is tired, quickly go back and rest. Wife Sun will go back to clean up the cloth now!”
Xiao Li’s disease saw Xu Hui turn around and walk away quickly after saluting and felt the pain in his head. However, he had been holding his arms out for so long and did not see He’s come over to help her up. He scolded, “Did your eyeballs drop to the ground? “What are you dawdling for? Why aren’t you coming over to help me go back? Aiyo, my head!” And my eggs, my oxcart, the meat I haven’t even touched!
After sending off her family, the next day, Xu Hui received the good news early in the morning from Wang Daniu. Her family had agreed to give Xu Hui three taels of silver, and today, she was going to learn how to be a Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce from him.
Xu Hui took the three pieces of silver from Wang Daniu and put them into the secret pocket on her belt. She had not been able to get out of this place since recently, so these three pieces of silver could be considered as her first income.
The Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce’s method was very simple. Xu Hui said and let Wang Daniu do it.
He first took out a cabbage, removing its root and washing it clean. He then cut it into two halves and cut it into finger-wide strips. Then, he cut the cabbage and put it in the basin. He sprinkled it with salt and marinated it for 2-3 hours. Then, he squeezed the water out of the cabbage and put it in the basin. In the end, separate the dried chili, scallion white and ginger into thin filaments. Heat up in a small frying pan with sesame oil, add into the chili, fry until spicy, then fry until fragrant, add vinegar, sugar, cool, pour the cool juice over the cabbage and marinate for 4-5 hours.
Very few people would use sugar and vinegar to mix the dishes here. Even Wang Daniu, who already knew that the Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce s were expensive, was extremely surprised when she saw that Xu Hui had forgotten to put sugar in the cabbage.
Sugar was a very valuable food for the Zhuang family. The highest quality white sugar was worth more than one catty, it was even more expensive than white rice and white flour. Other than treating guests for the new year, which family would normally be willing to eat candy, let alone put in a side dish! He even put sesame oil in it. That was still very expensive!
Wang Daniu felt that she had been too optimistic yesterday. With a small dish with white sugar sesame oil, how could she still earn money? Could she get back her family’s three taels of silver now?
Xu Hui was amused by Wang Daniu’s expression. She pointed to a jar of Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce that had just been pickled and said, “I calculate that the average cost of seasoned Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce of the next jin is only a little more than a coin. Moreover, do you think that Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce with white sugar and sesame oil would be sold for sixty percent of a pot?”
Xu Hui’s eyes became brighter and brighter as she looked at Wang Daniu. This Wang Daniu was extremely quick-witted, as she had taken advantage of the advantage of the modern era’s soul, but this Wang Daniu, who was born and bred in ancient times, had such a brain and reaction. She was truly a born businessman!
With a love for talents, Xu Hui gave Wang Daniu some tips on how to sell them. In the shortest amount of time possible, she had brought the Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce, which was a fresh dish, to the market in Shiqiao Town.
He first went to a few target shops, such as a snack bar, a small restaurant, a grocery store, a snack bar, a grain and oil store, and other places to lay their wares. Through the method of redemption, he increased the sales enthusiasm of the shop owners, and in the shortest amount of time, he made the Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce target the Stone Bridge Town’s entire consumer base!
After the round of goods was finished, they immediately began to promote their products in the most populated area — setting up stalls to sell them, stimulating consumers’ purchasing power through trial eating, buying gifts, group purchases, and so on, in order to create a reputation for Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce s and promote their sales.
Finally, the second round of selling and collecting, as long as the fame was on, inspired the consumers to buy. Before the pickles had been pickled and there were not many fresh vegetables to choose from, in the time that they were about to prepare for the winter, the sales volume of the Chinese cabbage with spicy sauce should be very impressive!
Xu Hui’s words made Wang Daniu extremely excited, as if she had been injected with chicken blood. She was so excited that she wanted to go to Stone Bridge Town and show off her skills, and she even felt that it was too, too little, that Xu Hui only wanted three silvers. Based on her method, why did Wang Daniu think that she could sell it for more than ten thousand kilograms? This literate person was different, how could there be so many things in her head?
Looking at Wang Daniu’s admiring gaze, Xu Hui coughed awkwardly. She had accidentally brought out the set of training for new employees in the Sales Department and almost brainwashed this little girl!
