Chapter 34 New Year's Goods
There are many things to prepare for the twelfth lunar month, among which the New Year's goods are the most essential.
At noon this day, Yuxi looked at a plate of sausages on the dining table, her heart skipped a beat, she deliberately pretended to be surprised, and asked, "What is this?"
Ku Fu explained with a smile: "Girl, this is sausage. I heard that it is very popular outside now. I bought a lot at the grocery store today, and the eldest grandma sent two catties to give the girl a try. Girl, apart from this sausage , and bacon, it is said that the taste is also very good!"
Yuxi naturally knew that it was a sausage, and she wanted to make it to sell it for money, but she was worried about being suspected by the old lady before she gave up. Yuxi asked: "Who made this?" Yuxi guessed in her heart that it was probably something thrown out by Lord Heshou County. Except for her, Yu Xi couldn't think of anyone else.
Speaking of which, Yuxi also really admires Lord Heshou, she is really capable. She actually found out everything she knew, and she didn't know how much money she made? It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and Yuxi can't help being envious. Cough, there is an old saying that goes well, starve the timid and starve the bold to death. The head of Heshou County is courageous so she can make a lot of money, but she is timid so she can't even drink soup. Yuxi said to herself: "I don't know what else I can come up with." The thing about Heshou County Lord has not spread in the Korean government, and Yuxi guessed that everyone thinks that Heshou County Lord is too weird. So I don't dare to use what she poured out.
Kufu shook her head and said, "I don't know about this servant girl. But I heard that this one is very expensive. It costs one hundred yuan a catty!" A catty of pork is only twelve yuan, and a catty of sausage costs a pound. Baiwen, most people can't afford it at all. Of course, this rare thing can only be afforded by wealthy families.
Yu Xi took a piece, nodded her head: "Not bad, very fragrant." This time I bought five-spice sausage, which is Yu Xi's favorite taste.
After lunch, Yuxi walked around the yard. This is also because her rose courtyard is too small, such as Yuchen's Tingyun Pavilion, just walking inside is enough.
Yuxi was in her yard, thinking about things while walking. I don't know if Lord Heshou has noticed her abnormality. If he finds out, will he attack her? Seeing that Lord Heshou is not a soft-hearted person. Thinking too much about things made Yuxi forget the time all at once. Until Ku Fu came over and reminded: "Girl, it's time, you should take a nap."
Yu Xi smiled, why did two quarters of an hour pass so quickly.
The next day, the purchasing office sent Yuxi a lot of things. There are eight kinds of sugar in various flavors, and there are also different flavors of biscuits, peanuts, sunflower seeds, etc. There are not many things, and each item weighs about two or three catties.
The woman who brought the things over said: "Grandma said these things are fresh, so I specially asked the old slave to bring some for the girl." Generally, every family in the capital will buy some of the new things. One is to pursue trends, and the other is to prevent others from saying that they have little knowledge.
Yuxi has never been interested in things like candy, but these things must be prepared. When someone comes to sit in her yard during the Chinese New Year, there is also something to entertain. Seeing that Yu Xi was loved by Qiu Shi, Mrs. Ye bought this extra for her. Others don't have this benefit.
After dinner, Yuxi went to Songxiangyuan to thank Mrs. Ye. People sent so many things with all their heart, she couldn't justify not thanking them.
Ye Shi didn't expect that Yu Xi would come here specially to thank her for this matter, she smiled and took Yu Xi's hand, and said, "Why is Fourth Sister so polite?"
Here, the maid immediately served Yuxi a cup of rose tea.
Yuxi looked at the rose tea and smiled. It seems that the sister-in-law is very clear about her preferences, and she is not hypocritical. She took the scented tea with both hands, took two sips and put it down: "Sister-in-law, why are there so many new things coming out this year?" But it didn't work out!
Mrs. Ye didn't think much, just smiled and said: "These things are made by Heshengtang, but I heard that Heshengtang is the property of Heshou County Lord. By the way, the sausage and bacon from the previous two days are also The people on the county lord Zhuangzi were thrown out."
Yuxi was speechless: "I heard that the county lord has opened a lot of shops this year, and the business of each shop is very good. This is really capable." Change money. In other words, Princess Heshou wants to collect so much money at the risk of being guessed, what is she going to do!
Ye smiled and said: "Who says it's not! But this is also the fortune of the county lord, and you can't be envious." Not to mention the past, just for the New Year's goods, the county lord Heshou has made a lot of money.
After talking with Ye Shi for a while, Yu Xi said goodbye and went back. She mainly came to thank her, and it was enough if she meant it.
Mrs. Ye sent Yuxi out of the door, turned around and came back, and couldn't help sighing: "Fourth Miss, it's really too difficult to get close." She has been trying to build a good relationship with Yuxi for the past two years, and she is very good at Yuxi. , but Yuxi has always been indifferent to her.
Mrs. Hua, Ye's wet nurse, said: "Master, you still have to take good care of your body, everything else is useless." Giving birth to a son is the foundation of gaining a foothold in the Korean government.
Mrs. Ye rubbed her stomach and said with a wry smile: "I want to too!" The son doesn't have a concubine, she is alone, and the husband and wife are also very loving, but they haven't conceived for two years. But this matter is not useful in a hurry.
Ye's physique was already a bit cold, but she was pushed into the lake in the winter of the year of her engagement, and what was even worse was that she was having her period at that time. Since then, her palace cold has become more and more severe. I have been recuperating my body for the past two years, but the problems that have fallen are not just good. It's about the heir, Mrs. Ye dare not tell the old lady and Qiu's about it, otherwise she will have a hard time. Ye's flattery to Yuxi is just hope that Yuxi can help her say more good things in front of Qiushi and give her more time. It is a woman who wants to have her own children, and is not willing to raise children from other people's families.
Granny Hua whispered: "Grandma, why don't you take a look at another doctor." Both of them were glad that Doctor Bai was not very good at gynecology, otherwise they might have been exposed long ago.
Mrs. Ye shook her head and said, "No need, let's use it first!" Changing it back and forth has no effect.
The main courtyard is not far from the Pine Fragrance Court, and Yuxi went to the main courtyard again. Seeing Qiu's unnatural expression, Yuxi smiled and asked, "Auntie, what's the matter?" With Ye's help with the housework, Auntie felt much more relaxed than usual.
Mother Li said in a low voice: "Madam asked someone to talk to Madam Duan, but Madam Duan did not respond." The Duan family and the Han family are not on the same road. Even if Yuxi helped Duan Xinrong back then, they were the only two people of the same age who walked around. Frequently, the Han family did not have a relationship with the Duan family.
This result was expected by Yu Xi: "Auntie, don't worry, my second brother will definitely find you a sister-in-law who is better than sister Xin Rong in the future." It's my aunt and my second brother.
Qiu Shi was just a little depressed, but not angry. Marriage is a good relationship between two surnames. If the other party disagrees, you can't force it: "You are as sweet as your mouth."
After leaving the main courtyard, Yuxi didn't go back home, anyway, if she came out, she might as well go for a walk, so she went to Tingyun Pavilion.
The one Nanny Gui dislikes the most is Yu Xi, not one of them. Because as soon as Yuxi came, Yuchen's plan for the day had to be disrupted. No, Yuchen didn't practice the piano anymore, so he chatted with Yuxi.
Seeing that the melon seeds brought by the maid were green, Yu Xi took one and put it in her mouth, smelling the scent of tea, she couldn't help but smile: "Sanjie also bought this from He Ji Tang?"
Yuchen waved his hand and told all the maids and women to go down. When there were only two people left in the room, Yuchen said, "I bought it from Hejitang. Besides melon seeds, there are also peanuts and so on. I made many kinds of flavors."
Yuxi smiled and said: "It's really difficult to be the county lord." Let alone eat these things before, she has never heard of them. Lord Heshou must have eaten it before, otherwise he wouldn't have made it so delicious. Of course, even if he had eaten with Lord Shou County, the people who researched it were still from the Princess Mansion.
Yuchen is not very willing to discuss Heshou County Lord, even though Heshou County Lord is weird, but he doesn't have much interaction with them: "The New Year is coming soon, hasn't your village delivered New Year's goods yet?"
Yuxi smiled: "Almost all the things that can be sold in my village have been sold." The things that are not sold are not good, and they will definitely not be sent to her.
Yuchen smiled and said: "I knew it. The things on my Zhuangzi should arrive tomorrow. What do you need? I will send you what I have here."
Yuxi is also not polite to Yuchen, because Yuchen has too many good things, not short of these: "I want to make scarves and knee pads for my grandmother and aunt, and I am looking for some leather. If you have them, give them to me." Keep some." At first, Yuxi was reluctant to ask for Yuchen's things, but after a long time, Yuxi was no longer restrained. Anyway, she didn't use it, and those things were piled up in the warehouse, which was quite a waste.
Yuchen said: "When the things arrive, I will give you some more. You can also make some big clothes for yourself." Yuxi wore very little, and she felt cold every time she saw Yuxi. In terms of physical fitness, Yuchen is far behind Yuxi.
Yuxi didn't want to make big clothes, she grew too fast, if she wore them this year, she wouldn't be able to wear them next year, it was too wasteful. Besides, she is not afraid of the cold. In winter, she only needs a cotton-padded jacket, and a jacket is enough. If it wasn't for the nagging of the maids around her, she wouldn't even wear the big clothes of those years when she went out.
Yuchen's things arrived the next day, and Yuchen selected the best pieces of skins to send to Yuxi, including a tiger skin. Shi Qin felt distressed when she saw it, and said, "Girl, let's keep this tiger skin for ourselves!"
Yuchen said: "No, give it to Fourth Sister!" Yuchen was sure that this tiger skin Yuxi would not use it himself, but would use it to make hand and knee protectors for the old lady.
