The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

"Does your family sell green jelly?" The servant was already panting a few steps away, with a hint of urgency in his words.

"Yes." Xu Yingtao responded crisply, smiling enthusiastically, "How many bowls do you want, little brother?"

The servant stood still, casually put the food box on the stall, propped his hands on his knees, and panted, "Doctor Wen said that your green jelly can relieve summer heat, so he asked me to buy some for our young lady, but don't add any spicy food!"

After just a few words, Xu Yingtao understood.

It turned out that Miss Ge had suffered from heatstroke.

She was grateful to Doctor Wen and smiled as she introduced: "Green jelly has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, detoxifying and relieving heat. It can also supplement nutrition. It is perfect for people suffering from heat stroke."

It’s easy to deal with if you can’t add spicy food, because there is ready-made mint syrup.

Xu Yingtao cleaned her hands and cut the jelly skillfully. She also found an opportunity to promote the ice jelly on the side: "Brother, this is our new product, called ice jelly, which can also relieve summer heat and heat. The effect is similar to green jelly, but the taste is more tender and smoother than green jelly. Do you want to bring a bowl for your lady?"

The servant was a little hesitant and was about to scratch his head, but then he realized that this was a food stall and quickly put down his raised paw.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Then give me a bowl too!"

Jiang on the side was a little stunned.

Why was she rejected when she tried to promote ice jelly, but her eldest daughter-in-law’s recommendations were always successful?

Xu Yingtao quickly put two bowls of processed jelly into the food box and handed them to the servant with a smile: "Thank you for the eight cents. I'll have to trouble you to return these two bowls to me later."

"Okay!" This time the servant did not hesitate. He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the lid of the bucket, then ran away in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yingtao: “?”

what's the situation? ? ?

Now the four of them had no intention of watching the show anymore. Their eyes were fixed on the piece of silver, not wanting to blink.

In the end, Xu Yingtao was the first to pick up the silver, and weighed it in her palm, estimating that it weighed about one penny.

Rich families are really generous!

"Mother, keep it." Xu Yingtao stuffed the silver into Jiang's hand.

The silver fell into her hand with a slightly cool touch, and Jiang suddenly came back to her senses. She said in disbelief, "My dear wife, this can't be fake, right?"

Xu Yingtao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Not really, how about you take a bite?"

That's how it's played in TV dramas anyway.

Jiang really bit him.

"it is true!"

Seeing her eyes full of joy that could not be concealed, Xu Yingtao reminded her: "There are many people here, don't show off."

Jiang immediately stopped smiling, looked around vigilantly, and quickly took out a purse from her bosom. She put the silver piece into it with great care, then put the purse close to her body, finally feeling relieved.

The brother and sister also tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of their lips and pretend that nothing had happened.

After adjusting her mood, Jiang asked the question in her mind: "Big Boss's Wife, why do people agree to buy anything you ask them to buy so readily?"

Xu Yingtao was slightly startled, then she understood why Jiang asked that, and said with a smile: "In doing business, you must not only learn to read people's expressions, but also judge the real needs and spending power of customers. For example, although the servant just asked for green jelly, his real need is to eat food that can reduce internal heat and relieve summer heat. Moreover, he works for the master, so he doesn't need to pay for it himself. He just needs to do the job properly. If I recommend ice jelly to him at the right time, the chances of him buying it will be greatly increased."

After a pause, she continued, "As for Wang Hu and his group, even if he is generous, he is still an ordinary person who needs to go out to work. It is not easy for him to generously treat his friends to two bowls of green jelly. At this time, asking him to buy ice jelly must be beyond his spending power, so it is expected that he will refuse."

Jiang suddenly understood what was going on and nodded continuously.

Xie Bai had a thoughtful look on his face.

As for Xie Li, he had already wandered into space.

In Gejia Manor, when the servant was carrying the food box into the yard of his young lady, he heard a crisp sound of "bang" coming from inside the house, followed by the young lady's intermittent crying and the lady's coaxing voice.

The maid Liu Ya ran out of the house with peach eyes. When she saw him, she hurried forward and asked, "Did you buy it back?"

The servant shook the food box in his hand and said, "Young lady, are you still not going to eat or drink?"

Liu Ya sighed: "Miss, you are angry, you will be fine once you vent your anger."

After that, she put her hands together and chanted: "Thank God, fortunately Doctor Wen came in time, otherwise the young lady would not have survived."

The servant lowered his voice and asked, "What about Madam Zhang?"

Liu Ya looked resentful: "That old hag always bullied us in the past. Now that something as serious as this has happened, the master and mistress will definitely not let her off easily!"

Seeing that he was about to ask more questions, the maid quickly snatched the food box and pointed to the outer courtyard, saying, "Doctor Wen is staying at the manor tonight. Go and see if he needs anything. If so, quickly arrange for him."

As soon as Liu Ya entered the room, she heard the lady crying, "Baozhu, be good. I promise you that I will never let you learn the rules from Aunt Zhang again. Tomorrow I will see her send you far away. At least have some mung bean soup."

Ge Baozhu just cried without responding.

"How about some sour plum soup?"

Ge Baozhu still ignored him.

Pan Yunniang wiped her tears and said, "Baozhu, do you want to kill your mother?"

Liu Ya quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Madam, Miss, Achang bought the green jelly back. I heard yesterday that this green jelly is selling very well in the town. It is a fresh delicacy that no one has ever seen before."

As she spoke, she opened the food box and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow!"

The green jelly and ice jelly poured with mint syrup are shiny and translucent, and are each garnished with two small pieces of mint leaves, looking delicate and cute.

"Bring it here quickly." Pan Yunniang ordered.

Ge Baozhu was originally indignant, but when she saw the two bowls of jelly in Liu Ya's hands, she couldn't help blinking her tearful eyes, but soon turned her head to the side and kept crying no matter how Pan Yunniang tried to persuade her.

Pan Yunniang finally broke down.

"Baozhu, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to outsiders and not believed you. If I had believed you earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer so much. I know you are unhappy, but you can't ruin your body. I beg you, can you just eat a bite?" After saying this, she could no longer hold back and started to sob.

It was unknown how long it had been before Ge Baozhu slowly turned her head away from her mother and looked at Liu Ya. She asked in a muffled voice, "Is it really delicious?"

Liu Ya nodded frantically, wishing she could praise the two bowls of jelly to the sky, but in fact she had never eaten them.

Ge Baozhu looked at the two bowls of jelly for a moment, then said reluctantly: "Well, then I'll have a taste of each."

After all, he is still a child and cannot resist the temptation of new food.

Pan Yunniang cried again, but this time she was crying tears of joy.

At this time, the anxious voice of Madam Ge came from outside the door: "How is our Baozhu? Let me see it quickly!"

As it approached noon, the sun became hotter and hotter, the steam rising from the ground seemed to make people fall over, and the troupe's performance was drawing to a close.

When the show ended, a man dressed as a butler walked onto the stage and gave an impassioned speech to the audience.

The gist of it is that the old lady of the Ge family is celebrating her 70th birthday today. In order to celebrate the birthday of his mother, Mr. Ge specially invited a troupe of actors to let everyone share in the joy. Anyone who can say a few auspicious words can get a red envelope.

For a moment, everyone in the audience participated enthusiastically.

Xu Yingtao and her family did not plan to attend. Firstly, there were too many people in the audience and they could not squeeze in at all. Secondly, since they had won the silver coins, the family was obviously a little "floating". No matter how many red envelopes there were, they were only worth two cents, and they had only got one penny of silver!

You can't be too greedy.

After about a quarter of an hour, the excitement finally came to an end, and people walked towards the town in groups of three or four.

At this moment, the two siblings who had been waiting for a long time looked at each other and shouted in unison the advertising slogan that brainwashed half of the town yesterday - Green jelly, refreshing, the best at clearing away heat and relieving summer heat!

The crowd, who had been standing and listening to the show for the whole morning, was already feeling the heat, but when they suddenly heard these words, they were cheered up and rushed to the stall without thinking.

"Give me a bowl of green jelly, young lady!"

"We want two bowls!"

"I want three bowls!"

……

In short, Xu Yingtao was almost leaving afterimages from cutting the jelly, Jiang's hands were almost cramping from counting money, and the two little ones were washing the dishes so hard that they wished sparks would fly.

Quarter of an hour later, after seeing off the last customer, the family of four was almost exhausted.

Even so, there were still many people complaining about not being able to buy it. Xu Yingtao had to appease them with a smile and promised to let everyone have it next time.

The people around gradually dispersed. The family couldn't wait for the boy any longer, so they followed the crowd and slowly returned to the town.

It's just a coarse porcelain bowl worth two cents, I don't feel sorry for it!

"Do you want to buy more?" Jiang couldn't suppress the curled corners of her mouth.

Although I made less jelly today than yesterday, I made much more money than yesterday.

Thinking of this, she didn't feel so sad anymore.

Xu Yingtao nodded: "Buy it."

There are still many things that need to be bought in that extremely poor family!

After returning to the town, Xu Yingtao went to the rice, flour, grain and oil shop first.

The young man still remembered her and came forward to greet her warmly. Although he looked much older than her, he called her "sister" cheerfully.

Xu Yingtao had figured it out on the way here, and without further ado, she directly reported what she needed: "Three pounds of glutinous rice, half a pound of wheat grains, and one pound of rapeseed oil."

The young man nodded with a smile on his face, thinking that it was worth calling her "sister", as he even managed to sell the vegetable oil that few people were interested in.

"Okay, I'll call you my young lady!"

Just a few words and he spent nearly two hundred coins.

Jiang had originally made up her mind not to say a word no matter what Xu Yingtao bought, but seeing how she spent money, she couldn't help but beat her chest.

It hurts!

I just made lard at home yesterday, so why did I spend a high price to buy rapeseed oil?

But Jiang didn't ask in the end. The money was earned by the eldest daughter-in-law, so what could she say?

Xie Bai's mentality changed very quickly. He now has more and more confidence in Xu Yingtao's abilities, and firmly believes that everything she does has her reasons. She is very aware of the times.

As for Xie Li, her eyes had already been attracted by the big rooster outside the grain shop.

The big rooster has bright feathers and golden claws and beak, and looks like a chicken with outstanding fighting ability.

But now this rooster was locked in a bamboo cage, with its wings tied behind its back and its feet tied with straw. One of its legs was bent at a strange angle, obviously broken.

Xie Li was first attracted by the colorful tail feathers of the rooster. When she got closer and saw the broken drumstick, her face wrinkled and she whispered, "How painful it must be."

The chicken seller was an old man in a patched coarse cloth shirt. Upon hearing this, he sighed and said with a bitter face, "I don't know which black-hearted person in the village broke the legs of these healthy chickens. They were originally raised for eggs, but now they can only be sold."

Xie Li looked confused: "Why do you have to step on the eggs? Won't it break?"

The old man was startled, and then his dark face turned red. He waved his hand and said, "You are a little girl, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Jiang also heard the conversation between the two. She quickly pulled Xie Li up from the ground and scolded him with a stern face, "Are you ashamed?"

Xie Li felt very aggrieved.

What's so embarrassing about this?

Her mother is clearly helping outsiders bully her!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Xie Li stomped her feet, turned her head away and never looked at Jiang again.

When Xu Yingtao walked out of the grain shop, she could tell at a glance that the mother and daughter were having a quarrel.

"What happened?" she asked Jiang.

Jiang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Children are ignorant, what else do you want to buy?"

She was obviously unwilling to talk more about the issue.

However, Xie Li directly complained to Xu Yingtao.

Xu Yingtao grew up in the countryside. Although dialects and idioms vary from place to place, after hearing the whole story, she knew what picking eggs meant. She laughed so hard that she almost couldn't straighten her back.

When she had laughed enough, she saw that several people were looking at her with doubtful eyes. She coughed to cover it up, raised her hand to rub the yellow hair on Xie Li's head that looked like dry grass, and said softly: "Ali, do you want to eat chicken?"

Xie Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded without thinking.

In the end, Xu Yingtao bought the rooster with a broken leg for eighty cents. Before buying it, she picked it up and estimated its weight. It must be at least four or five pounds, so she didn't plan to borrow a scale from the grain store.

The old man patted his chest and said that if the weight was less than five kilograms, he would hang himself with a hemp rope.

Xu Yingtao: "That's not necessary."

The original plan to buy meat was put on hold because of this rooster. After all, they are both for nourishing the body, so eating meat or chicken is the same.

Before leaving the town, Xu Yingtao bought fifteen bowls, half a pound of maltose, three feet of linen, and half a pound of chili peppers.

This almost emptied the clinic's chili pepper stock.

The shopkeeper asked her curiously, "Young lady, why do you want to buy so many chilies?"

Xu Yingtao did not hide it: "I plan to try to make it into a dish."

Anyway, it is an inevitable trend to replace dogwood with chili peppers. It is just a matter of time. She cannot hide it.

The clinic owner nodded thoughtfully: "Spicy peppers can warm the stomach and dispel cold, relieve gas and help digestion. It's worth a try."

"When I'm done, I'll definitely invite the shopkeeper and Doctor Wen to taste it." Xu Yingtao looked serious, not at all being polite.

The shopkeeper was startled, then he smiled and said, "Then I will wait to taste your cooking skills with a shameless face."
