Poor family mother and son

Chapter 197
I don't know what's wrong today, one sneeze after another.

At this moment, I sneeze and sneeze with tears and snot.

Chu Yuan and Xiaobao rushed in together: "Boss (mother), what's wrong with you?"

Chu Qing wiped his nose with a handkerchief: "It's okay, stay away, I seem to have caught a cold, don't infect you."

"Hey, okay!" The two went out together.

God!Is it so unfeeling?
A quarter of an hour later, the two returned.

Chu Yuan was carrying ginger soup, Xiao Bao had a bowl of Mala Tang in his left hand, and a porcelain bottle of chili powder in his right hand.Followed by Gan Lai holding a blade.

"Drink!" Chu Yuan said.

"Eat this after drinking!" Xiaobao said, and put the chili powder on the side of the bowl.

"I'll come first!" Gan Lai struck directly, holding the blade to catch Qing's hand.

"You, you, you... Chu Yuan, take care of her!" Chu Qing hid with her hands behind her back, "What is she doing?"

"Give me your hand, put some blood on it and you'll be fine. We Voss have been treating diseases like this since we were young!" Gan said, continuing to grab Chu Qing's hand.

"Gan Lai! You are too bloody! Boss, just drink a bowl of ginger soup." Chu Yuan handed the soup bowl forward.

"Mother, ginger soup is good for curing the cold, but if you are sick, you need to eat to get better!" Xiaobao continued to promote his Malatang.

Chu Qing took Xiaobao's bowl, opened the porcelain bottle and poured chili powder into it: "Everything is love, can I eat a bowl of chili?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but shovel Mala Tang into her mouth, and even took the time to wave her hand to them, telling them to leave her alone and go about their own business.

Chu Qing knew that he must have caught a cold.

If you haven't slept well for three or four days, your immune system will be weak and you will get sick easily.

It has been several days since I sent the letter to Hu Hengqiu, and I am about to leave for the capital, and I haven't received a reply yet.

Is the emperor dissatisfied or Hu Hengqiu failed to understand the phrase "the emperor's cotton" in the letter?Is what I said too cryptic?
He has indeed made some money in the past two years, but he still shouldn't slaughter himself as a fat sheep now, right?Anyway, you can raise it for a few more years.

Besides, with so many aristocratic families and powerful families, you don't like slaughtering them, Your Majesty?The secret investigation department can't understand you, go and investigate them?Don't compete with my little girl.

The more Chu Qing thinks about it recently, the more uneasy she feels.

Has the salt given by the emperor been quoted?used!

No matter how little it is used, it is used.Or use it on your own salt fields.

This is self-produced and self-marketed, who will make money with national resources?
Has the cotton been harvested yet?collected!

Not only accepting foreign products, but also domestic ones, an absolute monopoly!
If you are the emperor, you should kill yourself, right?Is that so?

But we didn’t make much money, didn’t we pay it all?The rest will also be invested in the next year's operations, right?

Even if Hu Hengqiu can see the meaning of the letter this time, and the emperor agrees to participate in the profit sharing, will the emperor really cultivate himself into a "fat sheep" and then slaughter him?
That's not okay!Can't let the emperor have an idea!
Chu Qingxilihulu thought while eating: I never thought about doing business to make money, nor did I want to join any secret investigation department, let alone come here.

Originally, the librarian was pretty good in front of him, but God knows how he came here and caused all this trouble, bad luck!

"Ah!" Because she was distracted, Chu Qing bit her tongue while eating.

"As for being so unlucky! I'm just a mess..." Unknowingly, Chu Qing muttered and bit her tongue.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Xiaobao pushed the door open and came in. He hadn't gone far just now and was waiting at the door, but Chu Yuan chased after Gan Lai to give a lecture.

"It's unlucky for people to bite their tongues when they eat meat!" Chu Qing said.

There is a local saying that if a person "loses meat in his stomach", he will bite his own flesh, but now it is clear that he is not losing his flesh, but he is still chewing his own flesh, isn't it bad luck? ?
"Mother, what did you say to mess up?" Xiaobao asked while rubbing Chu Qing's cheeks with his small hands, but he couldn't rub his tongue, so rubbing his cheeks is also a kind of treatment?
"Hmm...I mean I bit my tongue into rotten flesh." Chu Qing replied vaguely.

"Mother, are you worried?" Xiaobao asked.

"No." Chu Qing continued to eat Malatang, his tongue was broken, and it hurt even more when he touched the pepper.

"Mother, Xiaobao has grown up, you can talk to Xiaobao about something," Xiaobao looked at Chu Qing seriously: "You have been absent-minded these few days."

"Mmm... good!" Chu Qing put down the bowl and wiped her mouth.She needs someone who can discuss things, even if it's just to listen to her whining.

"In just a few months, mother has encountered two big hurdles." Chu Qing said.

"What's the first one?" Xiaobao asked.

Chu Qing: "The first one is that my mother was almost bankrupted by Jiangnan Meng's family."

Xiaobao: "Mother, are you talking about the fact that the Meng family robbed us of cotton?"

Chu Qing: "Not only that one, they also robbed us of wool. Our caravan collected wool a few days later than them."

Saying that, Chu Qing nodded towards the door as a greeting. It was Lao Yu and Lao Zhao who came in. They heard that Chu Qing was ill.

Chu Qing didn't turn their backs on them, and continued: "After the Meng family arrived in Voss, they first came into contact with Zhandui's village. As you know, almost every household in Hesuote has sheep.

The three villages where we bought wool have the largest flocks of sheep, but there are also many other villages.The Meng family has a big business, and the wool is not expensive, so even if they take them all, we have nothing to say.

Fortunately, Zhandui and the others were very honest, and they were not tempted to pay an extra penny per catty. "

Old Yu interfaced: "Then they didn't suffer a loss, didn't you give them an extra thousand catties of wheat?"

Old Zhao said: "That's good, it's considered helping each other, and we don't need the food."

Chu Qing said: "But this was an accident, what if Zhandui and King Guli think the same?"

Old Zhao was puzzled: "I've never heard of the Meng family's wool business before. They need wool in Jiangnan?"

Chu Qing said: "For heating, it's okay to insist that they need it. But only we have wool spinning, and they collect wool just to cut off our supply."

"Hmph! The intentions are sinister!" Xiaobao cried, "I see, what we buy most in Voss is wool and cotton, so the Meng family will also buy these two things this year."

"That's right, these two things are not expensive, so even if you take them all, it shouldn't be too difficult for the Meng family." Chu Qing said.

At that time, spending 40 yuan to buy cotton in the army was a heartache for Chu Qing, but for a family like the Meng family that has been run by several or more than ten generations, a few 10 taels is really nothing.

"But I didn't expect Xiaobao to break this game. He really beat the master to death!" Old Yu laughed.Everyone laughed.

Chu Qing: "But when I think about it later, it's all a fluke: the matter of wool is due to Zhandui's loyalty, but we are not too close to them;

As for the matter of cotton, we were lucky to grow cotton in our military villages. Although the output is not high, we have a large number of acres. "

"Mother, no matter what, this test has passed, it's not a big deal!" Xiaobao concluded.

Mother's child, it's not that simple, this time it's over, what about next time?
