Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 223 Thoughtful
Time passed little by little.

The twelfth lunar month is coming in a blink of an eye.

Every this month, Guzhuang is always covered by heavy snow, and this year is the same.

In previous years, as soon as the new year was approaching, every household in the village would have to worry. The winter was sad, and the year was even more sad. The rent owed and the money owed had to be repaid, the seeds for the next year were not available, and the clothes for the winter, There are no quilts, and I don’t know if people will freeze to death at home, but if there are several frostbite, the good home may be torn apart in a blink of an eye.

This year is very different.

Gu Xiang didn't dare to take it lightly, she was shivering from the cold, even though she was wearing a thick cloak, she didn't want to walk a few extra steps to work in 'Gu Ji', which shows how cold the other villagers are.

The cotton-padded clothes in her memory were very expensive, a quilt could only be saved by a family for more than ten years, and cotton-padded clothes were even rarer.

Jiang's still has a few of them that are only filled with straw.

The original owner lived at home for 15 years, and only one day filled the quilt with reed flowers, and the quilt was made of linen, which was very simple.

Gu Xiang thought about it, and she could also grow some cotton on her farm.

The system mall sells all kinds of cushions, fur, wool, silk brocade, silk, and of course cotton.

These are all classified in the big category of restaurant decorations.

But the system does not sell cotton seeds.

Gu Xiang searched for a long time from various categories that might be relevant, but she couldn't find it for a while, but she heard Wang Zhixian complain that cotton quilts were extremely expensive.

She knows about this quilt. When she was in the Yongyi Army, Lao Du specially found some quilts for her and sent them to her tent. With such treatment, in fact, the entire Yongyi Army has no one except a few generals. .

The cotton quilt is just a cotton coat.

Now that there is such a thing, it is not difficult to find good seeds.

The matter of growing cotton can only be carried out after the next year. Gu Xiang is sitting by the stove at this time, warming up by the fire, while staring at the various relatively large and long cotton mats in the mall.

What kind of carvings, silk surface, all of them are not used.

No matter how good the workmanship is, she won't want it.

The price of good craftsmanship is soaring upwards, who can afford it?

She also found a cotton cushion in the wilderness category, looking dusty and inconspicuous, she thought she had finally found a suitable one, but when she saw it—good guy, it was five times more expensive than the brocade one!
Gu Xiang was taken aback, but it wasn't surprising when he thought about it carefully.

The requirements for taking things into the wild must be much higher than usual.

"Recently, the sales volume of meat sauce seems to be very high, and some caravans even made a detour to buy it." Lao Du smiled while chopping chili peppers, and picked up a handful of large grains that were fried until they were charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Meat, stuffed with a few chopped peppers into the mouth.

A bite crunch, fragrant and delicious.

Old Du squinted his eyes, "I didn't expect that this spicy taste is really good. Compared with cornel, the fragrance is much stronger."

Gu Xiang chuckled lightly: "Eat less, you will feel uncomfortable in your stomach."

The day before yesterday she took a lot of dried chilies to fry in chili oil. Lao Du actually likes spicy food, so he ate two plates of bright red chilies in one go.

Although he likes it, people who have never eaten it suddenly can't stand it, and that night they have diarrhea and sweat all over their bodies.

Old Du and his wife were frightened and cried.

Gu Xiang was also so startled that he got up in the middle of the night, and hurriedly sent someone to invite a doctor, but he didn't dare to sleep, for fear that something might happen.

These days, a little illness can kill a person.

Fortunately, Lao Du was in good health, he had diarrhea a few times, and healed on his own the next day, but this old guy didn't repent at all, and even dared to eat chili secretly, but he didn't dare not eat enough like the first time.

I'm used to it, and I eat it until nothing happens.

Lao Du took out a pancake and ate it with meat sauce, he laughed aloud: "My stomach is very good, and it doesn't bother me to eat anything. It was an accident when I had a stomachache."

Gu Xiang smiled, but what he ate was meat sauce. The recipe has been weighed by many parties, so it doesn't matter if you eat more.

Old Du sighed while eating: "Third lady, our meat sauce is selling too badly. Last time I invited a boy from the caravan to dinner, he said, they brought the meat sauce to the capital, and the food shops in the capital , Dare to sell one tael of silver a can, and the supply is in short supply. Many diners buy it back and eat it, regardless of the price. They get the goods from us, and now a large can costs [-] Wen."

Now one tael of silver can be exchanged for 1000 taels.A full difference of four times.

Gu Xiang blinked and said with a smile: "In the future, we will open the store to the capital by ourselves."

Old Du Wan'er: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Don't look at Lao Du complaining here, but he also knows that it is not easy to open a store in the capital. Don't look at the meat sauce is cheap in their Shouling, but if it is really shipped to the capital, the price will increase by three to five times, which is normal.

Food shops in the capital are also expensive to rent and employ people, and they have to be filial to the backer. Without a backer, the business can't go on at all.

People have spent so much effort, things don't sell more expensive, what do people eat and drink!
Gu Xiang smiled: "I'm not kidding, but recently our chili sauce is still being supplied to the village first, and everyone in the village eats it, and then sell it outside. It's cold in winter, and this chili is a good thing. Take a bite and warm your body. It's really time to die , this is life-saving medicine.”

Old Du quickly agreed.

Gu Xiang continued to search the mall. After searching for a long time, he finally found a cheap product, rayon cotton cushions, imitation silk satin, machine-woven.

According to the evaluation of the mall, it is stereotyped, boring, and emotionless.

But Gu Xiang thought, the common people in Guzhuang don't need any sentimentality yet.

In the afternoon of the same day, cotton mats in three large carriages were delivered to the gate of the farm. They were not only thick, but also very bright in color. The red color was so bright that it seemed to glow with a layer of precious light.

Zhou Dongniang saw it at a glance, and couldn't move.

The satin on the outside is particularly beautiful, and all kinds of auspicious patterns seem to be embroidered with gold and silver threads.

"How much, how much?"

Zhou Dongniang rubbed her ears.

Don't talk about her, it's just Zhao Susu standing at the door looking at those exquisite 'quilts', and then looking at the price marked on the wooden sign outside.

"One hundred cash for a five-foot-long, three-foot-two-wide quilt, only eighty cash? Ten years ago, the silk from Moyuexuan in the capital cost five taels of silver. The quality was still not very good. A piece of high-grade silk costs seventeen or eight taels of silver."

Zhao Susu couldn't resist touching it with his hands, and it was as smooth as skin, "Such a thick satin surface is still embroidered with patterns, gold and silver threads, even if the embroidery is poor, a horse of 20 taels of silver can't be less ...do you really want to sell it?"

Xue Ying showed a standard smile, picked up the red satin quilt that Zhou Dongniang couldn't pull out, and stuffed it into her arms: "Chenghui, eighty Wen."

"Ow!"

Zhou Dongniang cried out, tears welling up in her eyes.

Zhao Susu stood nearby, watching the blankets being carried away by the cheerful villagers.

"Miss Zhao, we are farm workers, and we can get one bed even during the internship period. In addition, there are two people in your family, and we can buy two more sets."
