Chen Ya decided that she must tell her family about this matter as soon as possible.
When Chen Ya reported the news back to Old Man Chen's home, Chen Yigen shook his head and said, "Sister, why are you so confused? Dad is lying in bed and can't move.
My mother worked as a washerwoman for others, earning six copper coins a day, which was enough to support the family.
Your sister-in-law Luoluo and I have taken care of all the work in the fields, but even so, life is still very tight.
"How dare you even think about growing refined rice? How many copper coins would it cost just to buy the seeds? Isn't this just a dream?"
Chen Yigen's words were like a basin of cold water pouring over Chen Ya, freezing him from head to toe.
My mother’s family doesn’t have any extra money now, so what can they use to sell the refined rice seeds?
Chen Ya returned to Old Ning's house full of disappointment and began to wash Ning Lecheng's clothes.
Ning Xiaotang came over and said softly, "Auntie, why do you seem to be in a bad mood?"
"Tangtang, Auntie is thinking about something. What would you like to eat tonight?"
"I want to eat white rice porridge!" Tangtang looked cute and silly.
Luo Xiangqin happened to hear this and immediately stepped forward and said, "Okay, let's make a bowl of rice porridge for Tangtang tonight!"
Chen Ya was immediately surprised and said, "Mom, how can we make porridge when we don't even have any rice?"
Luo Xiangqin immediately smiled and said, "I'll take Tangtang to the street to buy some refined rice!"
Luo Xiangqin carried Tangtang into her room, took out a hundred copper coins from the compartment under her bed, and put them in her arms. Then she whispered, "Shh~ Don't tell anyone here!"
"Don't talk about it!" Tangtang immediately nodded cutely.
Luo Xiangqin carried Tangtang to the village entrance, got on a ox cart, and the grandmother and grandson went to the street together.
This was Tangtang's first time going out to the street, and she looked at the various goods on the street with surprise.
"Grandma, I want to eat meat buns!" Tangtang said cutely as soon as she saw the bun stall.
"Okay." Luo Xiangqin carried Tangtang and went over to ask Baozi.
“How much are the meat buns?”
"One copper coin for a big meat bun!" The owner of the bun stall immediately greeted happily and opened the bun.
The fragrance wafted from far away.
"Give me one!" Luo Xiangqin took out a copper coin and handed it to the stall owner.
Then I received a large white flour meat bun wrapped in oil paper.
The bun was as big as Tangtang’s little face.
"Grandma, let's eat together!"
Tangtang immediately handed the bun to Luo Xiangqin to eat.
Luo Xiangqin immediately said happily: "Okay, wait until Tangtang can't finish eating, then eat milk, now Tangtang, hurry up and eat!"
Tangtang immediately took a bite of the bun. It tasted so delicious that she wanted to gobble it up.
I saw that Tangtang had eaten half of a big meat bun with his hard work.
"Grandma, let's eat this. I'm so full!" Tangtang was finally full, and Luo Xiangqin ate the remaining half of the bun in a few bites.
Luo Xiangqin was surprised at this moment: "Why do these meat buns smell so good?"
"Grandma, we can eat meat buns every day from now on!" Tangtang said happily.
"Okay, from now on, I'll take Tangtang to eat good food every day."
Although Luo Xiangqin was just trying to coax Tangtang, she really wanted Tangtang to remember the taste of the meat bun.
Then Luo Xiangqin took Tangtang to the rice shop. She didn't buy much fine rice, just three pounds, and one pound cost eighteen copper coins.
Three pounds cost fifty-four copper coins, which made Luo Xiangqin's face twitch.
Thinking that Tangtang was growing up, she reluctantly took out the copper coins, and the owner of the rice shop also handed a small bag of rice to Luo Xiangqin.
At this time, Tangtang Nai said cutely: "Nai, let's find a place where there is no one. I need to pee!"
"Okay, I'll take you out to look for it now."
After a while, Tangtang urinated in a place, but at the same time, she took out a small white porcelain pot of fruit wine and put it on the ground, "Grandma, take this and sell it!"
Luo Xiangqin looked closely and asked, "When was this taken out? Why haven't I seen this before?"
Luo Xiangqin opened the lid and smelled it: "What a fragrant aroma of wine!"
"Grandma, let's find a place to sell it!"
"Okay, let's go to Caishikou and sell it now."
"Grandma, let's go find a wealthy family to sell it to. I'm afraid the people in the vegetable market won't be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."
Luo Xiangqin immediately thought of the Yu Mansion where Liu Lanqing made a handkerchief.
"Come, let me take you to Yu Mansion to try your luck."
Afterwards, Luo Xiangqin carefully carried the wine jug all the way to Yu Mansion in Shuihe Town.
When they arrived at Yu's house, Luo Xiangqin said to the doorman, "Please tell Steward Cui to pour a glass of this fruit wine for her. She will definitely come to see me."
Then he took out a small white porcelain cup from the door and poured out a glass of fruit wine.
The rich aroma of fruit wine immediately entered the room. "It's really good wine. I'll go and ask Manager Cui to come over now."
Soon, Mrs. Cui came running over: "Which family are you from? Do you have any more of this fruit wine?"
"Manager Cui, I'm Liu Lanqing's mother-in-law. I'm here to sell you this jug of fruit wine."
Luo Xiangqin had drunk a glass of this fruit wine at home, so she knew it was excellent.
"After drinking this fruit wine, it will strengthen your waist and body and make you feel healthy!" Luo Xiangqin worked hard to sell the fruit wine and said all the good things she could think of.
But Mrs. Cui just nodded.
"Grandma Cui, this fruit wine can help you sleep, improve your complexion for women, and strengthen your body for men. It's suitable for people of all ages."
Tangtang's words startled Mrs. Cui: "Are you saying this fruit wine is suitable for all ages?"
Tangtangnaitian smiled and nodded cutely: "I've tried it, it's really delicious."
Luo Xiangqin was stunned that Tangtang was actually chatting with Mrs. Cui.
"Well, how much of this fruit wine do you have? We happen to be having a family dinner tomorrow night. If you have three jars of this fruit wine, we can consider using yours instead."
Cui Sanhua took the empty cup, poured another one and drank it.
She had to try this wine, it was amazing.
If she bought this kind of fruit wine, it would definitely make the lady and the old lady happy, and her position would be even more solid.
"Three jars of fruit wine, yes. Granny Cui will send someone to Ningxiahe Village to get the wine tomorrow. Remember to bring all the silver. One jar of fruit wine costs fifteen taels of silver. This small pot weighs more than a pound. I'll give it to Granny Cui to try."
Cui Sanhua immediately sighed inwardly, can such a juicy little baby really make the decision?
"This amount of silver will definitely be substantial. I'll send a carriage to Ningxiahe Village to look for you tomorrow morning."
"Goodbye!" She stretched out her hand and bowed cutely. Tangtang was still in Luo Xiangqin's arms. Her soft and cute look made Cui Sanhua like her very much.
Then Luo Xiangqin walked down the street holding Tangtang, heartbroken: "Grandma, why are you not happy after selling the fruit wine?"
"Grandma is regretting that she shouldn't have drunk the fruit wine last time. Now there are only empty jars at home. Where can we get three jars of good fruit wine for the Yu family? And each jar is worth fifteen taels of silver!"
