Ye Panjiu was moved. "Auntie, you can order from me. We buy the meat in town. Where do you live? We'll deliver it to your door."
It's truly touching to have such devoted customers for your product.
The little girl jumped up and down excitedly, "Mommy! We can eat it again!"
The woman in blue smiled too, "Young lady, you're so kind. My home is right next to the cloth shop on the far west side of town. I love your braised food. If you ask me, you should raise your prices now. Even if it's two or three coins more expensive, it's still worth it!"
Ye Panjiu shook her head. "This price is already acceptable."
She already made a lot of money selling the offal and pig's head at this price because she bought them cheaply.
"What a kind person! I'll take those twenty bowls; I'll order again next time," the woman in blue exclaimed.
She insisted on talking to all her girlfriends in town about this shop and getting them to place orders!
"Okay." Ye Panjiu smiled.
Thanks to Aunt Lanshang, all the braised food was sold out before noon today.
Ye Panjiu apologized to the people queuing behind her, but closed the shop quickly.
Looking at the line, Madam Sun said with a pained expression, "It's all pure silver, and it's all gone now."
Ignoring her, Ye Panjiu walked straight to the teahouse beside the alley.
She took out the letter wrapped in a pale white cloth and handed it to Yan Yu, saying, "Thank you for making this trip."
Yan Yu carefully put the letter away. "You flatter me, Miss. It wasn't hard work at all. The master specially requested a reward and asked the Emperor to repair the road from the capital to Qingshui County. This time, my journey was much faster."
Ye Panjiu raised an eyebrow. "Your parents are quite farsighted."
Road construction is a very beneficial thing for the people.
Ye Panjiu waited for a while, and seeing that Yan Yu had nothing to say, she turned and left.
She went to a nearby jewelry shop, picked out a pair of gold earrings and a gold hairpin, and paid five taels of silver.
This is just her daily income.
The five men drove the oxcart toward Qingshui Village.
Sun took Ye Panjiu's arm and asked, "Little sister, what else do you think I should add to Lei'er's betrothal gifts?"
Ten taels of silver is quite a lot, but as a mother, she felt guilty towards Lei'er if she didn't contribute some money.
After all, Lei'er's wages were all in her hands.
Ye Panjiu patted her hand, "Why don't you let Lei'er keep his wages? He's getting married, and there will be many more times when his family will need money."
Mrs. Sun raised her eyebrows. "Him? He's just like his father, spending money recklessly and without any sense of propriety. My plan is to give the money to Jiaojiao after she marries into the family and let her manage it."
“That works too. You can talk to Lei’er about the bride price,” Ye Panjiu replied.
"OK."
The oxcart swayed back and forth; this black ox ate quite a lot every day.
However, there are many people in the family, especially Ye Daniu, who pays special attention to whether the cow has enough to eat.
It's October now, and the weather is much colder, but he still goes out every day to find grass to cut for the cattle to eat. He's a true workaholic.
When I got to the road home, I could see a small mountain piled up at the entrance from afar.
"My goodness, so many?" Sun jumped off the oxcart.
Old Man Ye and Old Woman Ye were carefully inspecting the delivered bricks and tiles to see if any were broken.
Once the oxcart had come to a stop, Ye Panjiu jumped off. "Father, Mother, is this enough? If we're going to build a house, let's build it all at once."
"These are only enough for the new ones built later. The people living in the front are fine, so there's no need to rebuild them!" Old Man Ye said.
Ye Panjiu immediately understood; the elderly couple were worried about the money.
"Let's talk about the front after the back is built."
By the time the later stages are completed, we'll have accumulated a lot of money, enough to fund the reconstruction of the earlier stages.
If only the back is built and the front is not rebuilt, it is unfair to the second family living in the front.
Grandma Ye nodded repeatedly.
It's rare for my daughter to listen to me when it comes to spending money.
After lunch, Ye Panjiu prepared to go back to her room for a nap.
Sun followed her into the house, saying, "Come, come, little sister, I've made you a dress. Try it on."
Ye Panjiu was taken aback. "So fast?"
My second sister-in-law was altering clothes for Ming'er just two days ago, and now she's made her a dress?
"Second sister-in-law, you can't stay up too late at night. It's bad for your health, and poor lighting is also bad for your eyes."
Sun began to undress her, saying, "Look at what you're saying. This dress is meant to last a long time. Why would you need to make it again at night?"
Ye Panjiu could only admire, "Second sister-in-law is really amazing."
She obediently stretched out her hands, letting Sun do as she pleased.
After putting on her clothes, Sun nodded happily, "Not bad, my skills haven't deteriorated, and I haven't let down the title of the number one embroiderer in Sunjia Village."
Ye Panjiu still finds it incredible that her second sister-in-law, who is usually so impatient, could sit still for so long when it comes to embroidery.
Mrs. Sun pulled her outside, saying, "Everyone, take a look, what do you think of these clothes?"
Ye Panjiu's forehead showed three black lines. Why did she feel like a clothes hanger without any feelings?
However, my second sister-in-law's skills were indeed excellent. She sewed it according to the common style of ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) in the county, stuffed it with warm cotton, and laid the cotton out neatly. This pomegranate red quilted ruqun fit perfectly in every way.
The clothes made by Sun were also very flexible. She combined the existing patterns on the fine fabric with needle and thread to string the patterns together, turning them into lifelike birds, with unique patterns inside the birds.
It's incredibly exquisite.
"She looks so beautiful, it's like she's a completely different person," Ye Erniu praised bluntly.
Grandma Ye was very pleased and stepped forward to touch the clothes. "I want clothes like this too. My second daughter-in-law is so skillful. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
Madam Sun suddenly felt embarrassed. "There's no need to reward me. If you insist on rewarding me, then reward me with another piece of fine cloth. I'll make a dress for Jiaojiao and give it to her when she gets married."
"One horse isn't enough, two will do, here you go." Old Lady Ye waved her hand and then turned to pull Sun Shi back.
"Now that the daughter's done, it's time for Mom to make the next one."
Sun smiled and said, "Of course, how could I not let Mother put on her new clothes?"
Liu looked around Ye Panjiu, her heart burning with desire.
This dress is really beautiful, even more beautiful than the young ladies she had seen in the county who wore silk and satin.
The clothes she made were definitely not this beautiful.
Liu blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm shamelessly begging you, could you also make the clothes for the eldest son's family? I'll take over the cooking and washing chores."
Mrs. Sun affectionately took her hand and said, "No problem, anyway, your cooking is much better than mine!"
She makes so many clothes that she doesn't need to take measurements; she can tell roughly how much they cost just by looking at them.
Ye Panjiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The clothes she was wearing were very warm, and the fine cloth felt much more comfortable against her skin than coarse linen.
This is one of the advantages of a large family living together without separating households; everyone can be taken care of if they are good at something.
