Chapter 51 The old goddess is also very good at selling sons and daughters
Mrs. Cui lowered her voice and said to Chen Yu: "Send a letter to Cui's family in Huizhou Prefecture for me. I will thank you greatly when the job is done."
Chen Yu stood up quickly when he heard this: "Old madam, please forgive me, I can treat illnesses, but I don't dare to say anything else, let alone deliver a message. Mr. Li is the parent officer of Qingniu County."
Mrs. Cui held her forehead: "What are you afraid of? Keep your voice down, as long as you help me handle this matter, you will not suffer any loss."
Chen Yu shook his head like a rattle: "If the old lady says this, I won't even dare to treat you for this disease."
Mrs. Cui choked. She saw that Chen Yu was about to leave, so she could only hold her back. It was not that other people had come to see her before, but they were not as sure as Chen Yu said. Moreover, as long as the two children did not come to Li's house, I'm sorry.
The Li family didn't dare to do anything to themselves.
Chen Yu took advantage of the situation to diagnose her pulse and prescribed a prescription. Mrs. Cui asked Ruyi to grab the medicine. Chen Yu followed Ruyi and went out to Mrs. Li to say goodbye, and left the Li Mansion with her daughter-in-law Cui.
Mrs. Cui fell on the soft couch, thought about it over and over again, and wrote a letter and put it on the table.
After Ruyi came back from grabbing the medicine, Mrs. Cui told her to go to Yuelan Garden and call Mother Guo and Li Yulian.
That night, Li Yulian and Guo's mother left the Li Mansion and went straight to the Cui family in Huizhou Mansion to pick her up.
Ruyi boiled the medicine in person, and the maid sent by the Li family to serve her was waiting outside the door. Mrs. Cui did not want to let the Li family get close, so she was on guard.
After drinking the herbal medicine, she leaned on the soft couch and closed her eyes to rest. She was surprised at how powerful Chen Yu was in using the medicine. After a while, the heavy feeling in her heart was relieved a lot. This medical skill was extraordinary. Mrs. Cui called
Come as you wish.
"Old Madam." Ruyi stood beside the bed.
Mrs. Cui handed the prescription to Ruyi: "Go and ask outside to find out what disease this prescription is used to treat and whether it can be used accurately."
"Yes." Ruyi got the order and left the house.
Chen Yu took his daughter-in-law Cui to say goodbye to Mrs. Li, and after leaving the Li Mansion, they went to Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop.
"Mom, can this Jiangnan embroidery workshop give us fabrics?" Ms. Cui was very worried. There was quite a big fuss in the Li Mansion just now.
Chen Yu took out the jade pendant token given by Mrs. Cui: "If you give it, just take it. It doesn't matter if you don't give it to me. Mrs. Cui will definitely take the initiative to invite me over tomorrow. I will have a word with her then."
Mrs. Cui also knew that this matter could not be delayed. If the Cui family and the Li family really started to quarrel, her family would not be able to get the fabric back, which would delay the money they made.
When the young man from Jiangnan Embroidery Shop saw the jade pendant, he politely asked Chen Yu and Cui to sit next to them, then went in and invited the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper didn't give Chen Yu any trouble at all. He prepared all the fabrics he wanted and asked the boy to rent a mule cart and deliver them to his door.
Chen Yu and Mrs. Cui watched the cloth being loaded onto the cart and said hello to the cart driver to buy some rice. The cart driver was very enthusiastic and took them to Wanhe Grain Store.
Seeing that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn harvest began every year after the Mid-Autumn Festival. When new grains came out, the prices of grains in grain stores were lower than usual. Chen Yu walked around to inquire about the prices of grains.
Wanhe Grain Store is the largest grain store in Qingniu County, and only here sells precious grains such as rice.
Lecheng Prefecture also has rice-producing areas, but it is more than 200 miles away from Qingniu Town and there are paddy fields only at the border with Huizhou Prefecture, so the price of rice is much more expensive.
As for wheat, beans and sorghum, the prices vary, but they are at least half the price of rice. Good rice costs two to three dollars per bushel, while inferior broken rice costs one to two to five cents per bushel.
In Chen Yu's eyes, the price is ridiculously expensive. One bucket weighs twelve kilograms, and one kilogram of rice costs at least 125 cents. This is not food for ordinary people. It costs 125 cents to buy it.
The rice that arrived was still second-rate.
Food is quite complete, but sorghum is called sorghum, wheat is divided into barley, wheat and buckwheat, as well as soybeans, mung beans, etc., and finally bran and chaff. The lowest price is bran and chaff, which costs one hundred cents per dou.
, beans cost five to six hundred cents per dou, and the most expensive flour cost one or two cents per dou. This price is also the cheapest in Qingniu County.
After asking about the price of grain, Chen Yu calculated the rice grain at home and ordered two bushels of rice, five bushels of fine flour, and ten bushels of sorghum.
The little boy was a smart man. When he was settling the accounts, he introduced some rice grains. Chen Yu didn't say anything. After settling the accounts, the little boy said: "Auntie, if the price of grain is cheaper this season, I will charge you ten dollars."
Five taels of silver, if you need rice in the future, come here."
Chen Yu thanked him and gave him some money, and the boy helped him put it on the mule cart.
Sitting in the carriage, Ms. Cui was worried. She could see that her mother-in-law didn't feel bad at all about spending money. You know, ordinary people can save ten taels of silver throughout the year. Eighty taels of silver is a good life.
.
Chen Yu was also thinking about it, not the money, but the people in his family.
The reason why I want to prepare sorghum is to use Tianlaiquan, the only free wine in the replacement space, to make wine. However, I don’t know how to make wine yet. If I want to use Tianlaiquan, I can’t hire a winemaker. It seems that I have to learn it first.
.
Nowadays, all the wives are very down-to-earth. Zheng Yue'e has no problem in being the head of the family. She is eloquent and never ambiguous in matters of right and wrong. The third and fifth daughters-in-law are both diligent. Needless to say, the fourth daughter-in-law is pregnant.
If you come back naked, you should take a high look at everything.
The biggest benefit of the sale to these wives is that it can provide Chen Yu with a stable home. If the wives don't make trouble, the family will live smoothly.
I want to leave the brewing business to Yun Niang. Yun Niang is a natural at cooking and her cooking is indeed better than others. If she wants to open a restaurant with delicious food and wine, this business is difficult to think through.
The mule cart was much faster than the ox cart. Chen Yu was lost in thought, while Mrs. Cui was also beating her heart.
Frankly speaking, my mother-in-law seems to have changed. This is a great thing for daughters-in-law, but Mrs. Cui always feels uneasy. She seems to have changed. Who can't feel it?
Woolen cloth?
Unfortunately, Mrs. Cui couldn't figure out why there were such earth-shaking changes.
The two mothers had their own thoughts and didn't say anything along the way. When they arrived at the door of the house, Cui helped Chen Yu get out of the mule cart, went in and called Zheng Yue'e and Yang Xiuying to come out to help get things.
"Oh my God, mother, this...isn't this too much?" Zheng Yue'e was about to cry. She was a housekeeper, and the fabrics were not necessarily for sale, but these grains cost money.
how much!
Chen Yu glanced at Zheng Yuee lightly.
Zheng Yue'e quickly raised her hand and pretended to slap herself in the mouth, with a smile on her face: "Mom, don't take it to heart, I am the one who picks things up, I will change it, I will definitely change it."
"Pack up and go into the house." Chen Yu left these words and went into the house.
The daughters-in-law and Yun Niang here carried all the things in. Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop delivered the goods to the door. The driver settled the fare. The driver looked at the Su family suspiciously. After unloading the goods, he left and went to the village entrance to take a look.
When he arrived at a villager, he stopped, pointed in the direction of Chen Yu's house from a distance and asked, "Brother, is that Su Xiucai's house?"
The villagers didn't know what was going on and nodded: "Yeah, what? Is something wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking." The driver got on the mule cart, looked back in the direction of Chen Yu's house, spat, and cursed: "Old Qian woman is so good at selling her sons and daughters! Why don't I eat you to death?
!”
Chen Yu sneezed as soon as she entered the room. She raised her hand and touched her nose. She subconsciously felt a chill on the back of her neck. She murmured in her heart, fearing that someone was behind her.
