In the Li family, Li Hong was scolded by Mother Li as soon as he walked into the house.
"Hongcai, you can't get too close to that little bitch Min Xuejiao. She is a coquettish one. She seduced Yao Qingbao somehow, and now she wants Min Daya to marry her instead. You should stay away from this kind of woman."
Mother Li was someone who had been here before, so she could tell the difference in Min Xuejiao at a glance.
How could her son, a man who wanted to achieve great success and achieve great success, be seduced by that bitch Min Xuejiao?
Seeing Li Hongcai's nonchalant look, Mother Li's eyes flashed and she continued to persuade:
"Min Daya is very good, hardworking and capable. She has been driven away by the Min family now."
"You ask her to come to my house every day, wash and cook for me. Also, ask her to go to the mountains to find some medicinal materials, sell them, and save the money for me."
Li Hongcai's eyes lit up, and then he thought of Min Xuejiao's words, frowned, and said to Mother Li:
"Mom, please invite a matchmaker to Min's house tomorrow to propose marriage. Don't mention Min Daya's matter again."
Min Daya is Min Xiyao. Although Min Xiyao is very capable, she is not as good-looking as Min Xuejiao. Not to mention Min Xuejiao's prosperous husband's life.
Min Xuejiao is recognized as a lucky star. She has created a lot of wealth for the Min family at a young age. If Min Xuejiao marries him, he can rely on Min Xuejiao's good fortune to rise higher and higher.
As for the value created by Min Daya, how can it be as much as that of Min Xuejiao?
"You are really obsessed with ghosts. How did Min Xuejiao's coquettish bitch seduce you?"
"You asked me to go to Min's house to propose marriage. Do you want me to die? That bastard dared to encourage you. You are so bad."
Min Xiyao didn't know what happened to the Li family, so she came to Caishikou carrying half a wild boar on her back.
I found a place and laid out the wild boar meat, and many people gathered around me.
"Hiss! This wild boar is so fat! It must weigh more than three hundred kilograms!"
"Look at these two tusks, I'm afraid they can smash through the tree. Little girl, how much does a pound of wild boar meat cost?"
"Mom, my wild boar is fat and fat, and it costs twenty cents per catty."
The domestic pig meat here is fifteen cents a pound, and the fat is not that thick.
People in this era like to eat fatty meat. This wild boar is fat and fat, which is more suitable for the taste of people here. Therefore, Xiyao priced the wild boar at 20 yuan per pound.
Here one tael of silver is exchanged for a thousand copper coins, and ten taels of silver are exchanged for one tael of gold. Twenty cents per pound of wild boar meat is not cheap, and ordinary farmers are reluctant to buy it and eat it.
The lady who asked the price took a deep breath when she heard the price quoted by Min Xiyao, thought about it, and walked to the stall of the pork seller.
Many people came to the stall one after another. After asking about the price, no one bought it. Min Xiyao was not in a hurry. She sat in front of the stall and watched people coming and going.
A fat uncle walked up to her stall, bent down, looked at more than a hundred kilograms of wild boar meat, and asked Min Xiyao:
"Little girl, how much does your wild boar cost per pound?"
"Twenty cents per catty." Min Xiyao didn't want to explain. You get what you pay for, so those who know the goods will naturally be moved, but for those who don’t know the goods, no matter how much she says, it’s useless.
Sure enough, the uncle looked at the wild boar meat for a while and started to negotiate the price: "Twenty cents per catty is too expensive? Domestic pork only costs fifteen cents per catty."
Min Xiyao had an idea when she saw her uncle negotiating the price. The old man in front of me is fat, and he looks like he usually eats and drinks well. Wearing cotton clothes does not look like a wealthy household, let alone a poor person.
He smelled of oil smoke, and he was probably a chef in a restaurant.
Thinking of this, Min Xiyao said to her uncle: "Uncle, my father broke a leg in order to hunt this wild boar, and it cost a lot of money to treat it." Her father treated her so well, and it didn't matter if he cursed him.
The uncle looked at Min Xiyao's pity, and felt that this half pig was really rare. He thought about it and said:
"Well, little girl, I am the chef of Yuelai Restaurant. You can go back to the village to collect game. If you have good game and send it to Yuelai Restaurant, just say that Chef Hu collected it. But what about the price of the wild boar? , it’s indeed a bit high. Otherwise, we can agree on the middle price, eighteen cents per catty, and I’ll take it all.”
Min Xiyao finally sold half a wild boar to Chef Hu for eighteen cents per pound, and the two agreed that Min Xiyao would sell the game they received in the future to Chef Hu.
Min Xiyao came to Buzhuang with 3 taels of silver and 330 copper coins obtained from selling wild boars.
I bought two quilts, ten pounds of cotton, two pairs of cloth shoes, one set of coarse cloth ready-made clothes, one set of fine cotton cloth ready-made clothes, two sets of fine cotton cloth clothes, two fine cotton cloth handkerchiefs and some coarse cloth. It cost 1 tael and 200 silver. Wen copper coins.
Min Xiyao put these things in her backpack, then found a deserted alley, and put the cotton and muslin garment underwear into the space.
There was only a set of coarse cloth clothes, a pair of shoes, and two quilts left in the backpack.
Adhering to the principle of not wronging herself, she went to the grain store and bought ten catties of brown rice, one hundred catties of fine rice, one hundred catties of white flour, and two catties of buckwheat thick flour. I also bought a variety of seeds to plant in the space later.
She spent one or two silver dollars to buy grain and seeds. In the same way, she put fine rice and white flour into the space in the deserted alley, and she continued to buy.
After paying the agricultural tax, only a small part of the food grown by farmers is left to feed their families. In order to save food, I eat two meals a day, and I am reluctant to eat fine rice. I mainly eat whole grains and black noodles.
Min Xiyao put ten kilograms of brown rice and two kilograms of buckwheat noodles outside. When the villagers saw it, they couldn't say anything.
As a modern person, seasoning is indispensable for everything.
She went to the grain and oil store and bought ten pounds of peanut oil, ten pounds of boiled lard, ten pounds of coarse salt, two pounds of white sugar, one pound of brown sugar, two pounds of vegetable oil and one pound of vinegar. I also bought some dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, as well as some garlic and ginger.
She bought all these things, and after buying all these things, Min Xiyao only had 200 copper coins left in her pocket.
Even though prices here are cheap, she still has a lot of furniture that she hasn't bought yet. There is nothing in the house, and it would cost too much money to start over. However, this is not a problem for her. She can just go to the inner circle of Fairy Mountain to hunt more prey.
She never treats herself harshly. Life should be enjoyed to the fullest.
Min Xiyao carried the things she bought on her back and got on the bullock cart back to the small yard.
I ate two steamed buns bought at the market, drank a bowl of spiritual spring water in the space, and entered the space to start practicing.
In the early morning of the next day, Min Xiyao woke up from practicing, stretched, and felt refreshed. She picked up the newly bought sickle yesterday, carried the basket on her back, and walked to the Fairy Mountain.
The air on the Fairy Mountain was very good. Breathing the fresh air and digging out a few commonly used herbs, Min Xiyao walked towards the mountains.
After compensating the Yao family with a few taels of silver, the Min family could only eat pickles and porridge every day. Wu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Min family, muttered while clearing away the dishes:
"That bitch Min Xiyao is gone, and there is more work at home. I don't know what mom is thinking, why did she let that bitch go out?"
