Chapter 376 Planting Litchi
Shopkeeper Qin laughed and thanked him.
He had no objection. If Master Xie or Master Le Zheng wanted it, how dare he snatch it from them?
After chatting for a while, Qiao Xuan went shopping.
I went to the fabric shop first and bought a lot of fabrics suitable for making clothes in autumn and winter. The fabrics I bought in the provincial capital before were not for winter use.
After buying it, she spent some money and asked the waiter to deliver it to Mingrentang, and the waiter readily agreed.
I also bought a lot of facial cleansing products from the rouge and powder shop.
Unexpectedly, the reputation of the lipstick had spread so widely. When Qiao Xuan was shopping in a cosmetics store, she heard the proprietress discussing the lipstick with two young ladies from wealthy families.
The young ladies and mistresses wanted it very much, and kept asking the proprietress to ask around in the provincial capital to see if she could get some.
Although it costs seven taels of silver per stick, I can still afford to buy one or two!
The family manager went to the provincial capital three or four times but failed to get one.
Hearing the proprietress's helpless smile, she also wanted to purchase goods, and of course she had inquired about it. However, that was the business of the third son of the Lezheng family. His shop would sell out the goods as soon as they were restocked. How could she share the goods with others?
This lipstick is precious and produced in limited quantities. Even if it is available, it will not be her turn!
Qiao Xuan was both happy and surprised. She had thought that with such a high price, there would be no market for it in the county town. She had underestimated the women who loved beauty!
That’s true. Our own lipstick is unique in the world. What woman can resist its charm?
The house is still fully stocked with all kinds of spices and condiments for cooking. These things can withstand storage, and I bought a lot of them in the provincial capital.
She went to the vegetable market again, planning to buy some pork.
In this weather, if you buy fresh pork, it won’t go bad even if you keep it for two days.
She bought spare ribs, pork ribs, pork belly, hind leg meat, pork elbow, pork liver, and pork stomach for nearly three hundred coins. The butcher was very enthusiastic and smiled, and even gave her a pig heart as a gift.
Qiao Xuan thanked him with a big smile, and she had already started thinking about it in her mind: stew the pork ribs into soup, fry the spareribs and make them sweet and sour today and braise them tomorrow, make half of the pork belly into twice-cooked pork tonight and the other half into steamed tomorrow, stir-fry the hind leg meat, and marinate the pork elbow with salt and eat it the day after tomorrow.
As for the pork tripe, pork liver, and pork heart, fry one tonight and prepare the others. Tomorrow you can use diced kimchi to stir-fry the spicy and sour pork tripe, pork heart, and pork liver. You can cook porridge at noon tomorrow and mix it with shredded ginger to remove the smell. There will be no odor at all.
Add some scallops and eel to make it more delicious
She hadn't eaten pork for a while, so she was really craving for it!
After buying the meat and sending it back to the clinic, Qiao Xuan walked around the market for a while. When she saw something she liked, she bought some more. Finally, she went into a noodle shop and ordered a bowl of noodles. After eating the noodles, she returned to Mingrentang to wait for Shao Yunduan.
Shao Yunduan came at about the same time as usual. The two of them went to find the local security guard and hired a carriage to go straight to Zhangjia Village.
There is no reason to push away big business that comes to your door. Although the landowner was a little curious about why they bought so much land intermittently, he was tactful and did not ask any more questions.
The mountain land was not valuable, and the head of Zhangjia Village had no objection, so the two hundred acres of land was traded.
When Shao Yunduan said he wanted to hire villagers to clean up the wasteland, the village head was very happy. He patted his chest and promised that as long as the wages were enough, everyone would work hard for them.
After the autumn harvest, every household has nothing to do, and it is better to earn some money to celebrate the New Year than to sit idle. No one would push such a thing away.
It's the weekend, remember to follow the articles and vote even if you have some free time. Love you guys~
