Chapter 33: Nectarines Were Stolen
The little maid she called heard her voice, her eyes widened, and she quickly stuffed the silver to Shen Zhi, "Here you go, I'll take the peaches away, come back another day."
Shen Zhi was stunned. She hadn't had time to sell her cherries yet.
Xiao Cui was walking back with a big basket of nectarines when she met Mrs. Qin.
When Granny Qin saw this, her lips trembled with anger. "Cui'er! I asked that girl to bring this to me. How could you steal my peaches?"
"Aunt Qin, I spent money to buy these peaches, how can I say I stole your peaches? Don't wrongly accuse a good person!"
Xiao Cui'er felt a little guilty and didn't want to continue talking to her, so she continued, "My young lady is suffering from the summer heat and can't eat anything, so I have to send the peaches to her. You didn't buy the peaches, so you should ask the person who sold the peaches to you, because she sold them to me anyway."
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Mrs. Qin was dumbfounded.
Yes! It's all that girl's fault! I said I would send her peaches every day, but now she actually sold the peaches to someone else!
We have to settle the score with her!
Shen Zhi looked down at the cherries in the basket and sighed.
She was packing her backpack and was about to go back when she suddenly saw Mrs. Qin running towards her aggressively.
Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment. He had already bought the peaches, so why did they come again?
When someone came to her, Shen Zhi said: "Grandma Qin, why are you..."
"Little girl! You're going too far!"
Shen Zhi was interrupted by her before she could finish her words, "Didn't you promise to send me peaches? How could you give peaches to someone else? You didn't come yesterday, and you sold peaches to someone else today. Is this how you do business?"
"Ah?" Shen Zhi frowned. "The girl who came to buy peaches just now said that you were delayed by something, so she asked her to get the peaches. I gave them to her now."
Mrs. Qin slapped her thighs with both hands. She was actually fooled by a little girl!
This little Cui'er!
"I'll go find her!" Aunt Qin turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Shen Zhi, "Aunt Qin, wait a minute!"
Mrs. Qin was busy. "Oh, young lady, I don't have time to chat with you here. I have to go get my peaches back! Otherwise, my young master won't have peaches to eat, and he won't be able to eat. What will I do then?!"
Shen Zhi: "Aunt Qin, even though the peaches were taken away by that girl, I still have other fruits here, fruits that you have never seen before."
Granny Qin paused. "New fruit? Then...are they as delicious as nectarines?"
Shen Zhi pulled her over and uncovered the cloth covering the basket. "Look! This thing is called cherries, and it's delicious!"
Mrs. Qin looked down and smelled a strong fruity aroma when she got closer.
She held a dark red cherry and looked at it again and again, "I've never seen it before!"
Shen Zhi: "Of course you haven't seen it. This thing is rare and very expensive. It came from overseas and it can't even support fruit trees!"
Granny Qin rolled her eyes and asked, "Then let me try one?"
Shen Zhi nodded, "Of course."
Mrs. Qin wiped it quickly and took a bite. The flesh was juicy and delicate, sweet and sour. After eating it, her eyes lit up.
She couldn't help but take another one, but Shen Zhi quickly blocked her hand, "Grandma Qin, if you eat more, I'll lose money. Just one cherry costs two cents, and I can't bear to eat it myself."
"What?!"
Granny Qin retracted her hand instantly, "This is so expensive?! Are you trying to blackmail me?"
Shen Zhi made an aggrieved expression, "Grandma Qin, do you think this is expensive?"
She sighed, "Yeah, I think it's expensive too. Don't be angry. I just heard you say that your son likes to eat peaches, so I thought of such precious cherries, so I brought them here for you to see."
"The family that sold me the cherries only had one fruit tree. If you miss this village, you won't have this shop anymore. I thought I wouldn't be able to buy them in the future, so I rushed to send them to you."
As he said this, he sighed again.
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she felt itchy in her heart. If she didn't buy it today, she might not be able to buy it in the future.
Never mind, it doesn’t seem like much, just one or two pounds at most. It’s okay even if it’s expensive, as long as the young master likes to eat it.
"Then...how much is one pound?"
"Fifty cents."
Granny Qin clicked her tongue and said, "Okay, okay, weigh it for me."
Shen Zhi smiled and weighed it quickly, it was exactly two kilograms.
Mrs. Qin sighed and counted the copper coins for her.
"Alas, my young master can't eat all day, so he just eats some fruit. These two days, there are nectarines, so he finally eats something. You must bring me more nectarines tomorrow. You can only sell them to me, not to others."
Shen Zhi counted the coins and blinked her eyelashes as she listened to this. "Aunt Qin, even if you have no appetite, you can't let your young master always eat fruit. He still has to eat."
Mrs. Qin: "It's good enough that he can eat fruit. I cook meat for him every day, but he has no appetite for any kind of meat. I don't know what to do. He still has to study."
Mrs. Qin had no one to talk to, so she could only talk to Shen Zhi about her worries.
"Master, you are such a fool. The meat is so delicious, why do you still feel sick of it?"
Shen Zhi pursed her lips and said, "Aunt Qin, I'm a pretty good cook. I'll bring you a dish tomorrow. You can let your young master try it and see if he can eat it."
Mrs. Qin's face was full of suspicion. Shen Zhi was a farm girl. No matter how good her cooking skills were, what delicious food could she make?
Can it compare with the big restaurants in the county?
Shen Zhi knew that she definitely didn't trust him. After all, she had never eaten what he made. "Don't worry, I just want you to taste my cooking. If it doesn't taste good, I won't charge you."
Thinking that she would have to buy peaches from Shen Zhi in the future, Granny Qin couldn't refuse, "Okay, okay, but my young master is very picky and doesn't like the dishes at Jin Si Lou. I'm afraid your hard work will be wasted."
Shen Zhi: "No problem."
After leaving Qin's house, Shen Zhi went to the street. It was a good time to buy vegetables early in the morning.
The Qin family is so rich, if they can really sell a few dishes, it will be a profit!
Success or failure depends on this.
When he arrived at the vegetable market, Shen Zhi wandered around for a long time and finally bought a few pounds of lotus root and a chicken. The other vegetables were available in his yard.
Carrying a chicken and lotus roots, she walked towards the city gate. As she walked, she suddenly smelled the odor of roasted chicken.
The flavor of roasted chicken is not as fragrant as the roasted chicken of later generations which is added with various seasonings. It is purely the fragrance of the chicken itself.
Shen Zhi walked closer curiously.
I saw a man setting up a charcoal fire and slowly roasting ten chickens.
Beside him, there was a group of people, seemingly queuing.
It seems that this roast chicken is considered a delicious food in the county town, otherwise there wouldn't be such a long queue.
Shen Zhi squeezed in and was scolded by the people in the queue, who angrily accused her of cutting in line.
She smiled and said she was just seeing what was going on and had no intention of cutting in line, which calmed her anger a little.
