Finally, Xiushui negotiated the price at ten taels of silver per bucket.
After all, ten taels of silver per bucket doesn't sound cheap, and the villagers wouldn't pay much attention to it.
However, the fact that she bought yogurt still surprised the whole village, even wealthy people like Chief Luo.
In fact, when Alahan brought the goods in, there were fifty carts, and each cart carried fifty barrels.
How many barrels can there be on fifty carts?
Even Xiushui was shocked after hearing so much.
After pulling the goods back, the old lady stared at Xiushui who was silent, and Heimei who was secretly watching the show, without saying anything.
Zhang Xinxiang, on the other hand, was a little anxious. She had been secretly calculating in her mind for a long time how hard she and her husband had to work and how much medicine they had to sell in order to earn back the money for the dozens of carts of yogurt her daughter had bought.
Li, a straightforward person, couldn't wait to talk about what he heard today after taking two mouthfuls of rice.
"Xiu, I heard today that you received dozens of truckloads of yogurt. We can't finish all of this yogurt. If we keep it and can't eat it later, it would be a waste of money.
Auntie doesn't mean to interfere with you, I just want you to buy so much. If we turn around and sell it, we will kick all the boys out of the house and help you deal with the goods quickly."
Chang Tong was very puzzled. "Sister, I've always thought you were a smart person, so how could you buy so much at once? Isn't this what you said only a fool would do?"
Zhou Yangfan couldn't help but burst out laughing. Yeah, in his eyes, Sister Xiu had always been a shrewd person.
After all, even a man like my cousin was completely tamed by her, but how could she talk about such a yogurt incident in such a stupid way?
Xiushui spread her hands with an embarrassed look on her face.
“I thought there wouldn’t be much to pull over from such a long distance, so I said from the beginning that I wanted all of them.
Then, that Alahan was also a cunning man. He only said that he would take a deposit of one hundred taels from me first, and pay the balance after the rest was brought in.
And, you saw the fifty cars that were pulled over today, and all I can say is, "Wow."
All the goods were taken away from her. What can she do about the hole she dug herself? She has to fill it herself.
The old lady burst out laughing, not angry at all. Instead, she looked at her eldest granddaughter as if she was enjoying the show.
"Oh my, I didn't expect our girl to suffer such a loss. Tsk, young people, you still have to be fooled more often before you can learn."
Seeing that she was not angry, Zhang Xinxiang also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she felt sorry for her daughter buying so much delicious milk but not keeping it, she was also afraid that the old lady would be angry.
Now it's okay, the old lady is a very good person now.
"Mom, this child is too young. He needs to go through some things. It's a blessing that you are such an open-minded person. Otherwise, other parents would be heartbroken.
Now that we have mother, life is getting better and better. Mom, try this stewed chicken. It's really delicious tonight. My second sister-in-law is really good at cooking."
Now, the sisters-in-law take turns cooking. Of course, when it's someone's turn, the men and children have to help, but that's their own business.
Mrs. Li beamed. "Yeah, yeah, I also think today's chicken stew is especially delicious. Hey, to be honest, this is our Xiumei's stew. She's an incredible cook, and even I, her mother, want to learn from her."
The old lady was surprised. She knew that her granddaughter was as fond of food as Hei Mei, and she loved to help in the kitchen.
I originally thought that this child was diligent, but now it seems that he particularly likes cooking.
Xiumei was stared at by everyone in amazement, and felt a little helpless for a moment. After all, she was used to being alone and doing what she liked.
If everyone was staring at her like today, she would feel uncomfortable and her face would turn red for a moment.
"Grandma, I like to study cooking. I think the same dish can be made into many different flavors. When I'm in a good mood, the dishes I cook seem to reflect my good mood.
But if I’m in a bad mood, the food I cook will seem bland and tasteless…”
The old lady was delighted. "Oh, our Xiumei cooks according to her mood. She should be in a good mood more often, otherwise the food will have no taste and we will feel uncomfortable eating it."
"Yeah, so I don't usually have too many emotional fluctuations. I just like to stay quietly in the kitchen and watch each dish come out."
Seeing her little daughter like this, Mrs. Li wanted to say something, but then she remembered what her mother-in-law had taught them, saying that children should be encouraged more.
I do scold my children most of the time, so I have to change my temper. So the scolding she gave became...
"My daughter Xiumei is pretty good. There are many people who can cook, but there are very few who can cook dishes that everyone praises.
Xiumei, you now have this ability, you can make an ordinary stewed chicken taste different and delicious, this is your ability."
Uncle Li gave his wife a thumbs-up. "Tsk, who said wives don't know how to praise people? Look how much she's praised her little daughter."
Xiumei was probably rarely praised, especially by her mother. Today, she was praised in front of so many people. The little girl looked up at her mother in disbelief, and then tears slowly formed in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Li was stunned, and then he hurriedly hugged her in his arms.
"What's wrong? Is it that what mother said is wrong?"
"No, mother, you have never praised me like this. You, you usually only know how to talk about your sister, or you only have your eyes on father and brother Changkang. Wuwu, I, I thought you didn't care about me, and looked down on me, and thought I was embarrassing..."
Li's hand that was about to pat her back froze in the air, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She really neglected her daughter.
Of course, the person she cares about most at home is the man.
After all, men are always suppressed by old men. He was born as a twin, but he was suppressed and scolded by the old man everywhere.
She feels distressed as a wife, so most of her attention is focused on the man.
As for the children...
Apart from her first eldest daughter Xiu Li who attracted too much attention, she also cared about her second son because he was a boy, but her youngest daughter... was really left to her own devices.
No wonder my mother-in-law kept nagging her to pay more attention to, encourage and praise the children.
She is a really incompetent mother and has neglected her youngest daughter.
"Xiumei, I was wrong. I ignored you... I won't do it again in the future. Let's learn together. I want to learn how to be a mother, and you should also learn how to be a daughter, okay?"
