Mr. Li was suddenly struck by the little girl's ability to bend and stretch.
He said happily: "It's very good to improve after you know your mistakes. That's great. Where is Yingbao?"
Chen Tiantian stirred her legs and pointed: "In the house, she said she would not come when she went back. Grandpa Li, I will definitely not beg to let her go."
Are you not coming back?
Li Langzhong frowned, walked towards Yingbao's house with his legs crossed, stood outside the door and called out: "Yingbao."
Yingbao came out of the room and without waiting for Mr. Li to ask, he said: "Grandpa Li, he is just asking to tell you that he has recognized all the medicinal materials in the medicine hall. If he wants to read the classics quietly at home,
, I will go to the wild to identify medicinal herbs when I have time, so I won’t come to the medicine hall.”
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Mr. Li and said, "Yingbao is grateful to Grandpa Li for his teachings during that time."
Mr. Li was silent for a long time, but he really had no reason to keep her here anymore, so he couldn't help but sigh: "In that case, I will go back. If you encounter something that you don't understand, feel free to ask him."
Suddenly Chen Tiantian ran over with a sad expression: "Sister Yingbao, it's not his fault. If he touched my medicine box out of curiosity, he will never do it again. I will forgive him once and don't ask to leave."
OK?"
Ying Bao was so shocked by her performance that veins jumped on her forehead.
Li Xihua also came out at that time, holding Ying Bao's leg with tears in her eyes: "Ying Bao, am I really not coming back?" Was she really reluctant to let Ying Bao leave?
Ying Bao: "He will visit me very often when he has time, and he will bring persimmon cakes and roasted chestnuts for me to eat."
There was a bumper harvest of chestnuts in her orchard, and all the persimmons were picked by her mother-in-law. Yanru, the second uncle, taught everyone how to peel the persimmons and make them. They were strung together one by one with thin hemp ropes and hung on the east eaves to dry.
Li Xihua wiped away her tears and nodded: "Then don't forget it."
"I won't forget."
In the afternoon, Jiang Sanlang came to pick up Yingbao.
I was a little surprised to hear that my daughter said she would no longer be an apprentice, "Why did you suddenly decide not to come?"
Yingbao: "The gourds at home have grown up, so he asked to go to the county town to sell gourds to make money."
Jiang Sanlang laughed: "Okay, I'll ask Jiang Quan to take me to the county town later. It just so happens that Xiaojie is also taking a bath, so we, the siblings, can have a good time together."
After moving all the daughter's things into the car, Jiang Sanlao and Lang Li said goodbye: "You have to worry about that period of confinement, so he will take Yingbao back."
Mr. Li waved his legs, "That child is very self-disciplined. He doesn't have to worry about it. He goes back and asks her to read more."
He gave Yingbao a few medical classics and asked her to come back soon after reading them and then take a test.
Along the way to the horse-drawn carriage market, I saw many people drying their clothes and quilts. No matter men, women, old or young, they all planted dogwoods and chrysanthemums.
After returning home, Jiang Sanlang took his daughter's baggage and medicine box and sent them to the house.
Jiang Quan had been waiting in the yard for a long time when he saw his little cousin shouting: "Yingbao, our gourds are having a big sale. Hey, each one can be sold for ten taels of silver."
"Then how much did I sell?" Yingbao was curious about how his gourds sold so well.
Jiang Quan stretched out his leg and said, "Five! He sold five gourds in one day!"
"So how much did I sell Ye Yi for?" Ying Bao asked.
Jiang Quan: "Five."
Yingbao:······
I only sold five of my feelings.
Jiang Quan said excitedly: "He is bringing five of them back, but they were all sold out in one day. Tomorrow he wants to bring ten."
In fact, he really wanted to take more with him, so he complained that the carriage could not be released.
"Besides selling gourds, how about other businesses in the shop?" Yingbao interrupted her second cousin's chatter.
Jiang Quan scratched his head: "Not very good."
The fruit at home was basically sold out, and no one was at the door after that. Fortunately, he brought a few gourds with him, so it was not deserted.
"Where are those preserved fruits?"
"Occasionally I sell some, but not much." Otherwise Jiang Quan wouldn't be in a hurry.
Yingbao thought for a while and said, "Then Mingyue will go to the county seat with me."
"Fine."
Jiang Quan: "Oh, that's wrong. When we go to the county town, we will bring more chestnuts. The people over there in Washe made fun of eating boiled chestnuts. He begged to cook some and sell them."
Goulan Vasheli performs dramas, puppet shows, etc., and there is a constant flow of people every month. Jiang Quan went to see it once, and saw many vendors carrying baskets selling food beside Goulan, and the business was very prosperous.
At that time, he had the urge to take the preserved fruits from the shop and sell them.
Ying Bao nodded: "My idea is good, but there are a lot of gangsters there. They will definitely give me trouble when they see a strange vendor."
Jiang Quan was stunned.
Why does my little cousin know everything?
Yingbao: "So I don't think it's better to stay in the shop. We are doing big business. Although the business there is good, we can't make a fortune."
She didn't want her second cousin to turn into a hawker wandering around Goulanhuashe.
The businessmen in the county are also divided into three, six or nine grades. Although they are not from a wealthy family, they must have a long-term vision. Otherwise, they are not as good as growing golden ears at home. At least they are considered to be farmers among scholars, farmers, industry and merchants.
I spent a lot of money to switch from farming to business, but it turned out that I was just a hawker wandering around the market, which was not worth the gain.
Bu Nao, her second cousin's words gave her a wake-up call.
Whether the products you sell in your store are specialty products, if they are properly promoted and packaged attractively, you won’t have to worry about losing business.
However, all of our own preserved fruits are sold individually, so they are not on the market and do not reflect the value of the specialty products.
Therefore, she requested to customize a batch of packaging boxes to pack all the preserved fruits. The wrapping paper must be written as a specialty of such-and-such township in such-and-such county.
It is true that the shop on the opposite side is the county school, and those county school students are not all from the county. Most of them come from various towns and villages, and some are even from other counties.
When they return to their hometown, they will definitely bring some local specialties back to their families to try.
Therefore, the packaging box is written with auspicious words such as carp leaping over the dragon gate, inscription on the gold medal list, winning the title in the toad palace, and five sons passing the imperial examination.
Jiang Quan curled his lips and sighed: "Okay, just listen to me."
The little cousin was right, there were indeed a lot of gangsters in Goulanwashe, and he saw with his own eyes that they extorted money from a hawker, causing his nose to bleed.
In the evening, the Jiang family came back from the cotton fields carrying large baskets of cotton and gathered around to eat together.
Er Ni quietly told Ying Bao: "Chu Chu wants to marry Master Zhang Meng."
Ying Bao blinked, not surprised at all.
Erni added: "Chuchu's father didn't agree at first, but later Master Zhang Meng gave him thirty taels of betrothal gift, and he agreed."
"When will Chu Chu get married?" Ying Bao asked.
Erni took a sip of porridge: "It seems to be in the twelfth lunar month. Chu Chu said that after helping our family harvest cotton, she will go home and get married."
Ying Bao looked around: "Where is she now?"
Why don't you help me harvest cotton? Why didn't you come to dinner?
Erni chuckled and whispered: "She asked to cook for Master Zhang Meng. But she saw that Master Zhang Meng had already prepared the food and was waiting for her to go back to eat."
Ying Bao lowered her head to pick up the rice, but she was thinking in her heart.
In the storybook plot in my mind, Zhang Meng and Xu Kun seemed to have become officials, but Zhang Meng's wife was not Chu Chu.
