The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

Chapter 117: First Taste of Fruit Vinegar

Qing Mo's eyes lit up and he was about to say something when he heard a commotion from the street below.

Yang Mo was curious and opened the window to check.

Unexpectedly, Ning Yuanshan stopped him and said, "Yang Mo, close the window."

Zhou Yue looked at Ning Yuanshan, wondering about his attitude.

The impression he gave people was that he was always gentle and polite, and he never said a word.

See Zhou Yue, Qing Mo and Yang Mo all looked at him.

Ning Yuanshan realized that his tone was a bit harsh, and hurriedly explained:

"There's nothing else going on. Someone is getting married outside. Nothing exciting to watch."

"Getting a wife?" Yang Mo looked excited.

Ning Yuanshan and Zhou Yue were speechless. What was there to see?

But, isn’t Ning Yuanshan overreacting a bit?

Seeing that the other party didn't understand, Ning Yuanshan simply confessed: "Today, yes, it's your third aunt who is marrying off her daughter.

The county magistrate is taking a concubine. "

It's so embarrassing, I really don't want to say it.

The Ning family, even if it meant starving to death, no girl in any generation had ever become someone's concubine.

So that's how it is. Zhou Yue looked at Ning Yuanshan and saw his face turned red like a crab.

This situation was a bit weird, and it seemed like Ning Yuanshan was taking a concubine, or he was about to be taken away by someone.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Zhou Yue hurriedly said:

"Yang Mo, close the window and come sit over here. Mother wants to talk to you."

"Mom, what's the matter?" Yang Mo followed suit and closed the half-open window.

"I was just talking to your sister. Do you think our fruit vinegar tastes good?"

"Of course it's delicious. I could drink it every day."

"That won't work. No matter how good something is, you can't drink it every day."

"Um, sister-in-law, what exactly is this fruit vinegar you're talking about?

My dad also told me about this last time.

He drank it and thought it tasted good, but it was a pity that your family gave it to him when I went back.

He couldn't help himself and drank it all.

And the wine you brew is delicious. I saw that you sent several jars to my house this time. Thank you.

This time, I will definitely taste it carefully.

Every time I go back, my father would show off to me how delicious your food is and how tasty your wine and fruit vinegar are.

But every time he never leaves me any.”

"Haha, blame me, blame me, I should have sent you some earlier.

It’s just food, it can’t be transported long distances.

As for the wine, my family doesn't have a license, so we dare not send it too far, for fear of being investigated by the government.

The fruit vinegar has just been made, and this time, the jars for your house have been labeled.

Some are wine, some are fruit vinegar.

Women who can't drink much and children can drink it, and it basically has no smell of alcohol.

Try it and see if it’s edible.

If you think it tastes good, don’t worry, you can have as much as you want.”

"Yes, the things you sent over were all kept by my child's mother, and I haven't taken a closer look yet.

I also sent someone to deliver the things you sent to my second brother.

It’s a pity that my second brother is not in the county this time. He went to Yizhou for business.

Otherwise, we brothers will definitely treat you to a good meal."

In fact, the truth is that he married his wife in the county.

Deep down, I look down on people from the village.

Therefore, the gifts that were sent were not counted and were put into the warehouse.

I thought, what good can the homemade products in this remote and poor place be?

Keep these crude things and give them as rewards to servants or as gifts to poor relatives in the village.

Ning Yuanshan decided that after returning, he would go and check the gifts in person.

"Hey, these are just crude things made at home, barely edible, but they are not as good as Uncle Qi said.

Go back and try it. If you like it, write to me again.

Also, I plan to use half of the newly rented shop to continue my original business.

The other half runs a grocery store, selling some of their own products.

Do you like it? "

Ning Yuanshan's face froze when he heard Zhou Yue say he wanted to open a grocery store.

It’s simple, Ning Yuanshan also runs a grocery store.

I also heard Zhou Yue say that he wanted to sell his own products.

His expression softened slightly.

She thought, what good things could her own products have? How could they be as good as the things she bought from the state and the capital?

Forget it, let her go through some setbacks and realize that business is not easy, then we’ll talk about it later.

Zhou Yue didn't know that Ning Yuanshan's mind was already in a state of confusion at this moment.

I don’t know, but when Ning Yuanshan heard that her family was going to open a grocery store, he immediately put himself in the role of a competitor.

Ning Yuanshan realized his slight mistake and immediately calmed himself down and started talking to Zhou Yue about Ning Sangu.

"It's fine if her family just gave their daughter to someone else as a second wife, or as a concubine.

It's really shameful.

They even sent me a wedding invitation, but I told my husband directly not to go.

Although our Ning family came from a farming family.

But he is a man of integrity. His ancestors were scholars and some of them were officials.

You're not going to starve to death, so you're going to let your daughter become someone's concubine?"

Zhou Yue: “Haha.

Everyone has their own aspirations, don't force them.

Besides, that girl’s surname is not Ning, but Zhang.”

"Yeah, let's not talk about her, it's unlucky.

I also got a message.

I guess your aunt doesn’t know.

Otherwise, he would not have given his daughter to someone as a concubine.

Isn't it just to take advantage of others?

Unfortunately, it is rumored that Lord Wang is going to be transferred.

I don't think the Zhang family can get any benefits from this."

"Oh? Where will you be transferred to? Will you be promoted or demoted?"

"Uh, I don't know."

As a mature businessman, Ning Yuanshan is naturally familiar with doing business.

But when it comes to the rules and unspoken rules of officialdom, he knows nothing at all.

“Oh, if he hadn’t made any serious mistakes, given his family’s power, he would probably have been promoted.

However, it was too fast.

So being demoted is not impossible.”

"Bah, it would be great if he was demoted, so that the Zhang family's efforts would be in vain.

I was so happy in vain, hahaha..."

Zhou Yue and others were amused by him.

They didn't drink, they just ate, so the meal was fast. They quickly gobbled up all the dishes on the table.

Ning Yuanshan had such a good meal at noon that he didn’t eat much.

The two sides talked for a while, then said goodbye and went their separate ways.

Ning Yuanshan returned home and didn't have time to go back to the backyard to say hello to his wife.

I went straight to the warehouse and started looking through it.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he pierced the jars.

Fortunately, my wife didn't give these things away as gifts.

He first opened the jar labeled "fruit vinegar", then went to the kitchen and took out a clean, dry spoon and a white porcelain bowl.

I scooped out a spoonful of fruit vinegar, and it was surprisingly bright red in color with a strong fruity aroma.

Pour it into a white porcelain bowl and you will see that the color is pure and it even sticks to the wall.

Red wine and white bowl, looks really nice.

He looked at the seal on the jar again, which read "Winter Peach Vinegar".

Zhou Yue actually used precious winter peaches to brew this. I wonder how much it costs.

She wants to sell this, how much does it cost to make a profit?

He roughly calculated the cost in his mind and felt that this fruit vinegar would be difficult to sell in the county.

Go sell it in Beijing, where there are lots of rich people and lots of suckers, so it’s not so bad.

He picked up the white porcelain bowl and took a sip.

His eyes lit up.
