No one raised any objections to the change of packaging, maybe because they were all servants and could not make the final decision. They would buy back what Xia Qiyue sold and give it to their master first. The master would let him know what his opinion was.
Lu'er took the four packs of candies wrapped in oil paper, and when she saw two nougat candies with colorful paper wrappers, her eyes widened in delight. Then she thanked Xia Qiyue, then turned around and ran towards the door.
The alley was a bit narrow and it would be difficult to park even a few carriages, so Lu'er asked the coachman to wait on the street outside the alley.
After Lu'er finished buying, Grandma Sun hurried forward. She had reserved a lot of them for giving away, so she was a little regretful that she didn't have any glass bottles to put them in.
Xia Qiyue shook her head helplessly, "The merchant selling the glass bottles has left. I have no choice. I'll just leave it alone!"
Grandma Sun had no choice but to take the halva wrapped in oil paper and give her some money. Xia Qiyue gave her two more nougat candies.
The rest is the same, two nougat candies per person, no money required, but only those who buy nougat can get it, and those who don't can't.
Today her courtyard door was wide open, and so many people were coming in and out. The neighbors were alarmed, and many people came to watch the fun. However, looking at the money she collected, even if the neighbors wanted to try it, they would not have the money to buy it, so they could only watch.
Forget it.
Qiuniang has been watching in the crowd. If someone wants to come in front of her, she will not fight or grab it. There are not many halva candies, and everyone has reserved them. They are sold out quickly, and only half a catty, or one pack, is left.
Qi Qiyue looked at Qiuniang, who had been lingering here, refusing to buy and not leaving.
She didn't know Qiuniang, and she hadn't seen Qiuniang once in so many days as a neighbor, so she thought it was some girl's daughter-in-law who came to buy it on her own and didn't make a reservation, so she was embarrassed to speak.
"Madam, there is just one pack left here that no one has ordered. Do you want to buy it?"
When Qiuniang heard Xia Qiyue's words, she felt extremely happy. She quickly smiled and nodded, "Okay, then sell it to me!" She took out some money from her purse.
After looking at it for so long, she knew that each package cost one tael of silver, so she quickly took out the money, and the one tael of silver was placed in Xia Qiyue's hand.
The neighbor who had not left at this time was pointing outside the door of Xia Qiyueyuan.
"Isn't that the woman next door who is being used as an outhouse? How could she come out? I remember that she never goes out. Everything is brought here by her man..."
"Isn't that right? I only found out after hearing what you said, that a woman can't live a decent life as a married woman and become someone's wife! It's really... embarrassing!" Another old woman covered her mouth with her hands and muttered in a low voice.
"Let's go quickly! Don't stay here! I'm telling you, Mrs. Zhao, she comes from a brothel. If any serious family wants her, she will be treated like an outsider!"
The words gradually faded away, but Xia Qiyue and Qiuniang heard all this clearly.
Qiu Niang was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to raise her head, but Xia Qiyue acted as if she hadn't heard anything and took two nougat and handed them over, "These are our newly made candies. Madam, take them back and try them. If you like them, make another reservation."
!”
Qiuniang didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only nodded, picked up the candy and hurried out of the yard. At this time, Mrs. Xia Qiyue's voice was particularly sarcastic in her heart.
Xia Qiyue shrugged, picked up the basket and returned to the west wing. It had nothing to do with who was whose outer room. Anyway, she sold her candies, and those who bought her candies were her guests, and she could just earn money.
Today, she sold eighty-four taels of candies, which was not bad. Although she did not earn as much as she did when she gave them to Li Ji and sold more, she still made money, and her balance jumped to four hundred taels again.
Four hundred and twenty-four taels is no more, no less, but today she will sell 25,000 kilograms of grain, and she can make some more money. Thinking about the money makes her very motivated.
She sold out all the candy early in the morning, and even her younger siblings couldn't spare the time to help her, so they sold out. I was in a good mood and had breakfast. Today was just about peeling peanuts, so everyone got to work without her having to arrange it.
Okay, she went out with peace of mind.
After he could drive, everything became easier. Xia Qiyue drove out without anyone else and arrived at the house he rented yesterday.
Twenty-five thousand kilograms of grain is still a lot of food, and almost the main room and the side rooms are full.
Xia Qiyue locked the door of her room and courtyard, got into the carriage, took the opportunity to enter the space, made some arrangements, and made herself look like her sister that day, and then got out and drove to the grain store.
She handed the key to the shopkeeper and agreed to come over to collect the keys and money in the evening. The shopkeeper kept smiling and sent her outside the door.
Xia Qiyue is so suffocated. She is now playing an eccentric person who doesn't talk much. She can only answer the shopkeeper's questions with just one or two words. Anyway, she doesn't necessarily have to cooperate with this shopkeeper in the future.
Grain is only ripe for one season, so she can't sell it all the time.
In the evening, after the five people left, Xia Qiyue went to the grain store again.
Twenty-five thousand kilograms of grain was collected at fifteen cents per kilogram, which amounted to a total of three hundred and seventy-five taels of silver. When she got the money, she rushed without stopping and sent the key directly to the dental shop.
After all the procedures were completed, it was completely dark. Xia Qiyue drove home and saw Qiuniang again in her small alley.
On a very cold day, it was freezing cold and pitch black, Qiuniang was sitting at the door of her courtyard, Xia Qiyue was frightened to death.
Xia Xinghe, who came out after hearing the commotion, directly took the reins from his sister's hand, unloaded the carriage and fed the horses.
The three children were waiting on the kang for her return. As soon as she came back, they pestered her to tell stories.
Everything went very smoothly. Xia Qiyue read stories to the three children to put them to sleep.
But things were not peaceful in Wang Ji's backyard. A large family gathered around a woman with a big belly, and they kept talking.
The woman with a big belly finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up from the kang, "You know how to ask me to come forward and ask me to help, help this one, help that one, after helping the eldest brother and the second brother, I have to help my nephews find an academy, and now I have to help avenge my father."
, which of you has helped me again?"
The pregnant woman was the concubine of the Minister of Household Affairs. Wang Qianqian, who was now sent to another hospital in Jiuli Town to raise her fetus, had an angry look on her face. She couldn't stand this family and her mother-in-law only knew how to make her pay.
Mrs. Wang Li, Wang Qianqian's mother helped her daughter sit down with an anxious look on her face, "Daughter, listen to your mother, don't get angry and it's not good for the fetus. You are already the wife of the Minister of Household Affairs. What use is there for us with mud legs?"
Did you help? Look at how your father was beaten! You just need to send someone to beat up the person who beat your father so that your father can vent his anger and he will be fine!"
Wang Qianqian originally thought that her mother was facing her, but when she heard this, she was so angry that she threw her mother's hand away, "Do you know that the eldest lady is staring at me to find out what's wrong with me? The woman in the backyard actually wants to hit her."
Killing them, this gives the eldest lady a good reason to drive me out of the house, and then you will be satisfied that I have become an abandoned woman, right?"
At this time, her eldest brother said, "Sister, you are pregnant with the son of the Minister of Household Affairs. How dare the eldest lady kick you out of the house?"
