Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming
Chapter 47 Taking Advantage
It is said that the countryside is comfortable. In the past month or so, Qing Ning has completely become accustomed to the life pattern of working from sunrise to sunset. Life has a goal, and the whole family works together and everyone is full of energy. This is life and this is life.
Before the start of work, Father Chen and his two sons sprinkled the warehouse with crushed Platycodon grandiflorum according to Qingning's request, and moved the dead basswood trees with fungi growing on them that they had cut yesterday into the warehouse one by one.
"Father, please don't let my two brothers go to the official's house to herd cattle from now on. There are too many things to do at home now."
Father Chen also knew that everyone in the family wanted to split one person into several people to work for. As the main laborer, it would be inconvenient for him to leave the work halfway, but the two younger ones would be fine, so he agreed immediately.
After Father Chen left, Qing Ning took a basket and handed it to Father Chen: "Father, here are some snacks and three small jars of mushroom sauce. Take them to the steward of the family."
Father Chen took the basket and felt that it was very thoughtful and considerate of his daughter.
"Ning girl, are you ready to go?"
"Uncle Yu Qi is ready, we'll be right there." He then stood by the fence and called out to the neighbor next door, "Big sister, are you ready? Uncle Yu Qi is here, we're leaving."
"Okay, okay, Song'er and Bai'er, please help me get these snacks to the car." The three of them hurriedly carried the baskets and loaded them into the car, and greeted Uncle Yu Qi.
"No rush, go slowly." Yu Qi reached out to take the basket and put it in the car.
"Hello, Uncle Yu Qi," Qing Ning greeted Yu Qi, while Tan helped her carry the basket and put it in the car.
"Brother Yu Qi, I'm sorry to trouble you again today. Have you had breakfast?" Tan greeted Yu Qi with a smile.
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? It's not tiring. Besides, I'm not working for nothing. I haven't even had time to eat breakfast." After saying that, he touched his head embarrassedly and smiled.
When Mrs. Tan heard this, she immediately turned around and went into the kitchen: "Wait a minute, I'll get you some pancakes from the morning stall so you can have a bite on the way to fill your stomach."
After a while, a few pancakes were brought from the kitchen. They were covered with sauce and smelled so good. Yu Qi thanked him without hesitation and accepted them.
"Second Aunt, we haven't eaten yet." Qingsong and Qingbai smelled the fragrance. Tan looked at them with amusement and told them to go to the kitchen to eat.
"Sister Ke, have you eaten yet?"
"Second Aunt, I've eaten."
Tan said no more, carried Qing Ning onto the cart, and sent them to town. They still had a lot of work to do today, so the family ate a quick meal and went about their business.
An oxcart swayed slowly through the fields. Nearby, the fields were filled with birdsong, and the distant mountains were fragrant. How could it not be pleasant? Qing Ning, rocked so hard, nestled in her elder sister's arms, her eyes narrowed. Qing Ke, fearing the wind would blow against her, held her close, then turned her away from the wind and gently patted her back, encouraging her to sleep more comfortably. After all, she was still a child, and it was time for her to get some sleep.
"Qingke, are you going to town?"
"Yes, Grandpa."
When I met villagers who were working on the road, I greeted them politely.
The three of them entered the town and went straight to Shizhen Pavilion. When the waiter of the restaurant saw that it was three people, he immediately welcomed them in to see the shopkeeper. Naturally, there were other people to accommodate the ox cart.
"Brother Yu Qi, Miss Qingke, you are here. Please come in and have a cup of hot tea." Shopkeeper Xu was so enthusiastic that he arranged for the waiter to take the snacks to the kitchen and asked the accountant to settle the money.
"Manager Xu, I'm here too." Qing Ning stood out from behind the two of them. When Manager Xu saw that this was his God of Wealth, the smile on his face got even bigger.
"Oh, little Ning is here too. I blame my uncle for not seeing her because of his poor eyesight. Come in, please."
Shopkeeper Xu apologized and led the three people into the house with a smile.
"Manager Xu, how's business these days?" Qing Ning was not shy and sat down on the chair and took a sip of the hot tea.
Shopkeeper Xu's grin widened when he mentioned this. "Thanks to that idea you came up with, with the tasting and limited pre-orders, you don't know how envious people are! Some are so greedy they're willing to pay a premium just to get a taste of it. Some even ask me where I can buy it, but I refuse to agree, leaving them feeling antsy. Hahaha."
The three of them watched Manager Xu's story with great excitement, and suddenly felt that this man was a little unreasonable.
"That's more than that. Guess how much I charge for that mugwort cake?"
Looking at the shopkeeper's cunning expression, I probably knew he was a ruthless person. Who says it's not true? It's not difficult, but whoever gets the first one will benefit, right?
Shopkeeper Xu didn't wait for the three to speak before continuing, "I'm not a mean person. Eight cents a piece." He stretched out his hand and gestured.
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and they thought to themselves, "If this isn't evil, then what kind of evil is it?"
"Is there anyone who would buy it even though it's so expensive?" Qing Ning couldn't help but ask.
"Of course people bought it, quite a few. This is mainly thanks to you. You asked me to find a storyteller to tell the story, and then the students, not to mention the wealthy ones, were able to buy a piece or two to try it out."
Well, she underestimated the determination of these students to become scholars.
Shopkeeper Xu now sees green lemons as gold ingots and is so happy.
"Ning girl, do you have anything new today?"
Qingning felt a little scared when she saw the overly enthusiastic Shopkeeper Xu in front of her.
"Shopkeeper Xu, indeed there are." He asked Yu Qi to pick up the basket and put it on the table, lifted the lid and took out three clay pots, and asked the waiter to bring chopsticks and a small plate.
Shopkeeper Xu took the chopsticks and plates, but didn't let Qing Ning touch them. He opened the lid of the ceramic jar himself, and the aroma reached his head. He carefully placed some on each plate and closed the lid. He stared at the glistening sauce on the plate and unconsciously licked his lips. He scooped up a little and put it in his mouth. The flavor was truly intricate and fragrant. He devoured the sauce on the plate in one gulp, then wiped away the remaining oil with his fingers. He wasn't afraid of being laughed at by these youngsters.
"Ning girl, what kind of sauce is this? It has mushrooms, meat and other spices. There is also a spicy taste but it is very satisfying." Shopkeeper Xu was really not satisfied.
"This is mushroom sauce. There are three flavors: original, spicy, and spicy with pheasant meat."
Qingning introduced the three flavors of sauce one by one, and said, "This sauce is perfect whether it's mixed with noodles, rice, or vegetables with pancakes."
"As for this spicy one, it's the precious Qin pepper."
Qing Ning was intending to start a lawsuit. She wanted to see how Manager Xu would react when he heard about Qin Jiao.
"What? What did you say? There are Qinjiao here? You didn't lie to me?" Shopkeeper Xu became extremely excited when he heard about Qinjiao. After asking several times and getting repeated confirmation from the three people, he could no longer sit still and stood up and walked back and forth several times.
"Manager Xu, please stop turning around. What's wrong with Qin Jiao? Why are you so excited?" Qing Ning knew that Qin Jiao was an object of appreciation for the nobles in this era. She knew it was precious, but she didn't want to be so excited.
Shopkeeper Xu was brought back to his senses by Qingning. After hearing Qingning's meaningless tone, he sat down and calmed himself down.
"Girl, do you know that this Qin pepper is so precious? One plant costs this much." Shopkeeper Xu stretched out his hand and gestured.
"Five taels?" Qing Ning guessed the number carefully.
Shopkeeper Xu shook his head: "Fifty taels"
"What?" Now it was Qingning's turn to be surprised, and she almost fell off the stool.
He turned around to see Yu Qi sitting calmly on the side and swallowed.
"Grandpa Yu is so rich! This thing is so expensive, and he just gave it to me. Oh my god, what a bargain I am taking! No, I should go back and send Qin Jiao back. She can't understand the hobbies of these rich people."
