Chapter 123: Clouds in the Sky (Part 3)
Although the woman said this calmly, her eyes were fixed on the chili meat sauce and she didn't move away.
There is so much chili meat sauce, I want to take it all home to eat.
The others slowly came to their senses.
The slightly plump little woman smiled sheepishly, wiped her mouth slowly and said, "That, it's really delicious."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "It's okay. Everyone says it's delicious, so I'm happy too."
Looking at Jiang Zhiluo's beautiful and bright appearance, everyone felt that it was pleasing to the eyes just by looking at her.
Plus, her smile is so sunny, it warms your heart.
Moreover, although this house is simple, it is very clean and has a spotless feeling.
When I see that they can only live in a small courtyard with a fence, I can't help but feel a little sympathy.
"Hey young lady, how much is this chili meat sauce?"
"A pound costs thirty coins, so a spoonful of this is about half a pound and fifteen coins."
Jiang Zhiluo had already calculated the price in her mind.
Upon hearing the price, the lady said, "Isn't this price a bit expensive? It's more expensive than a pound of meat."
Jiang Zhiluo explained, "Auntie, I put a lot of spices, seasonings, chili peppers, and meat in this. It takes a lot of effort to make, and the cost is not low."
"And don't underestimate the thirty coins per pound. This pound will last you a long time."
"Auntie, you all tasted it just now, and you all know that this little bit can be eaten into several mouthfuls of dry food, and it is also easy to store."
“When you want to eat it, just take it out and eat it directly, no need to heat it up.”
"And you all know how it tastes, Auntie."
Everyone thought what the young lady said made sense, and although they wanted to bargain, they couldn't refute it.
Seeing that everyone looked relaxed, Jiang Zhiluo said, "Besides, we didn't make much this time. I plan to sell it at the dock tomorrow. I don't know when I'll make it next time."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions became more relaxed.
"Look, young lady, we want to buy a pound, but we don't have anything to put it in."
"Yes, we came here to buy chive seeds. We never thought we could buy anything else."
No one brought a container.
Jiang Zhiluo said generously, "I happen to have a few gourds at home, so I'll use them to fill it for you, Auntie."
In this era, gourds are also good things, and people are used to using gourds to store water and wine.
The water scoop we use every day is also made of gourd.
Many families will scatter a handful of seeds on the mountain to plant gourds.
This thing is very cheap, and if you want to use it, you almost don’t have to buy it.
Mrs. Cui had previously obtained some gourds from the mountains to use as containers.
"Thank you very much."
Everyone thinks that Jiang Zhiluo speaks gently, smiles beautifully, and is capable, which makes people feel very comfortable.
After packing everything, everyone asked about the chive seeds.
"Are those chive seeds a hundred coins a bag?"
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "It is indeed one hundred coins per bag."
"Leeks are good things. You can eat them a month or so after planting them. And if you cut them from the bottom, they will continue to grow..."
When Fan Cheng came to buy leek seeds before, Jiang Zhiluo told him that he could talk to the villagers and if anyone wanted to buy leek seeds, they could come here to buy them.
I didn’t expect Fan Cheng to be so honest. Someone came to Yangliu Village to buy things so quickly.
When everyone came, they knew that a small bag of leek seeds cost one hundred coins.
Even though it’s just a small bag, it’s worth it because the food is delicious.
"Well, Miss Jiang, if we buy this, will you teach us how to grow it?"
"Of course, if you buy it, I will teach you how to do it."
Everyone felt more relieved after hearing this and asked some questions.
Everyone had done farm work before, so they understood after Jiang Zhiluo explained it briefly.
In the end, everyone paid the money and left with the leek seeds and chili meat sauce.
The slightly plump little woman directly bought two kilograms of chili meat sauce.
The group was very happy and left talking and laughing.
Mrs. Cui looked at the six hundred and eighty coins on the table and couldn't believe it.
"Zhiluo, have we really earned 680 coins?"
You can make money without even leaving the house.
Jiang Zhiluo was also very happy and said, "Mom, come here and we'll know once we count."
"You just counted them all, so it must be correct."
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Madam Cui's expression and understood what she was thinking. She deliberately said, "Mother, I may not have remembered it clearly just now. Let's count it again."
She now also likes the feeling of counting money.
There is a sense of fulfillment and stability.
If you have money in your hands, you will not be worried.
Mrs. Cui smiled and sat down with them and started counting.
"One cent, two cents..."
Count out one hundred coins and put them aside, the total amount is six hundred and eighty coins.
Mrs. Cui was very happy and said, "The conditions in Yangliu Village are still good. They don't even blink an eye when they offer over a hundred coins."
Jiang Zhiluo took out a string and strung the copper coins together. She said, "Maybe many families in their village have a lot of land, and some people can weave cloth and are skilled in weaving. They can make money, so they are willing to buy things."
"I bought some cotton cloth at the Yangliu Village market and chatted with the lady who was running the stall. She knew how to weave when she was young, and now she has given the loom to her daughter-in-law. A diligent young lady like that can weave a whole piece of cloth a day."
Mrs. Cui thought, "Yes, one piece of cotton cloth a day is worth one ounce of silver, that's a lot of money."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Mother, cotton cloth is expensive. They can only make half a bolt of cotton cloth a day at most, and maybe one bolt of coarse cloth a day."
"But cotton cloth isn't pure profit, and the balls of yarn are expensive. But with this skill, you can make money, and your life will be better than that of ordinary farmers."
"It's just that as I get older, my eyesight blurs easily. If I can't see clearly, my hands and feet become less flexible, and I knit even slower."
"The lady I bought the cloth from was very capable when she was young, but she's old and her legs aren't very good, so she can't weave anymore. She can only help with the housework while her daughter-in-law weaves."
"That's the case with some families who can weave."
"But this is a craft that not everyone can do. There are still many families in Yangliu Village who rely on farming for their livelihood and don't know how to weave."
Jiang Zhiluo chatted with the old lady for a while when she went to buy cloth and learned about these things.
Jiang Zhiluo strung the coins together, then took out a rope and said, "Mom, let me measure your size so I can make clothes for you when I have time."
There was no ruler at home, so Jiang Zhiluo could only measure it with a rope to get a rough idea.
Old Madam Cui stood up to allow Jiang Zhiluo to measure her.
After taking the measurements, Jiang Zhiluo went into the house to prepare to cut the cotton cloth.
While she was busy in the house, Cui Hejin came back.
These days, Jiang Zhiluo has been busy with business and has neglected Cui Hejin.
Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Zhiluo looked up and said with a smile: "My husband is back!"
When Cui Hejin saw Jiang Zhiluo, his cold brows softened and he nodded slightly, "Yeah."
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the coarse linen clothes on Cui Hejin and couldn't help but sigh that when he wore it, he looked like the clouds in the sky, with an elegant demeanor.
I don’t know what it would be like if I changed into cotton clothes.
Jiang Zhiluo thought of this, blinked, and said, "Husband, please stand still for now."
"Um?"
Cui Hejin raised the corners of her eyes, exuding a charming and seductive aura.
