Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 233 Mo Zidong Gets Married (5)
"It's okay, I can't sell it to uncle."

Mo Qingqiang was relatively calm, her nets sold quickly, there were three and five pennies, and many women liked the new styles and bought them back. Compared with the market price of one penny, it is already considered expensive.

When it was almost noon, the rest of the family's stuff was sold out, and Mother Liu also harvested a large bag of copper coins. Compared with the speed at which the family spent money, earning money was much slower. Now the family is doing things step by step. The restaurant will officially open.

When everyone was about to go back, a middle-aged man wearing a satin jacket came, who looked like a big family's buyer, followed by a servant with a lot of things in his hand, and stopped in front of Qingli's stall.

"This silk flower is not bad, how much money?"

"Uncle, thirty cents a flower, as you can see, we spent a lot of money to make this, and it's all good stuff."

Qingli hurriedly spoke up, she must seize this last chance, although she didn't care about the money at all, but the money she earned and the space she took for nothing were not in the same mood.

The middle-aged man squatted down, looked at each silk flower, nodded incessantly, and showed satisfaction on his face, Qingli felt that there was a door.

"Uncle, there are forty flowers in total, how many do you want?"

"Buy them all, cheap?"

The middle-aged man looked at Qing Li, a little surprised that it was a little girl who spoke to her, and the adults next to her just watched and didn't speak.

"It can't be cheap, but we still have three zippers left, which originally cost five cents each. They are fresh styles, and I can give them to you. We are leaving in a hurry."

Qingli then showed the three plum blossom-shaped nets left on the ground to the uncle, waiting for his reply.

"Thirty Wen is not expensive."

The uncle paid the silver very readily, and Qingli was very excited when she got it in her hand. She remembered that when she went to the mountains to pick wild chrysanthemums and sold the copper coins, each copper coin was so precious, she would caress it carefully whenever she had time, Then put it in a broken porcelain jar. Since I have space, everything has become a matter of course. It has been a long time since I have enjoyed the joy of making money.

The road has to be down-to-earth, even if you make a lot of money by providing medicinal materials to Chunyu Motou, that is a high-profile business, which makes her ordinary life full of unknowns and bloody storms.

Everything was sold, and the parents were very happy. It turned out that earning money was not as difficult as imagined, and they had more confidence in the small restaurant in the future. Mother Liu bought some red paper in the town, and everyone rushed back to Momo. home village.

I am busy every day, and the time flies by. Recently, there is a market every day, and the family also sells a lot of things. The types of food have been added from peanuts, glutinous rice sticks, sesame sticks, and Qingli instructed Erni to make them. The egg pudding came out with only egg sugar and white flour, but it was unexpectedly soft and delicious. It has been very popular recently, and the shopkeeper of the dim sum shop came to ask for a recipe. After the family discussed it, they felt that they could make it for the time being. The business that was not on the pastry was sold at a high price of 50 taels.

Today is the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is also the busiest day for the family. Tomorrow, the eldest brother is going to get married, and the folks in the village have been notified.

Many dishes need to be prepared in advance. The fish alone needs to be oiled [-] pieces, waiting to be sprayed with sweet and sour tomorrow, and the meat stuffing of Sixi meatballs. It needs to be cut into pieces and fried, and it will be simply returned to the pot tomorrow. For this, my aunt was busy from morning to afternoon, and she didn't even drink her saliva.

My eldest brother and third brother also went to help. Li Moxuan became the most idle person in the family because he had to observe filial piety at the funeral of his mother and it was inconvenient to attend the ceremony.

Qingli was also busy all day, counting the borrowed bowls and chopsticks from time to time, sitting on the markers, waiting for the wedding banquet to be returned to each family, and she also had to decorate the new house with her mother, and draw the window grilles around the kang. They also had to put on red quilts made of fine cotton.

Fu Caiyun's family conditions are not good, and basically there is no dowry, but her parents are kind people, and they also love their daughters. Basically, the things sent by the Mo family are brought back as dowry. I didn't leave any money with me.

In the evening, Qingli took stock of her belongings in the space. The main reason was that the New Year’s Eve was approaching and she needed to give Zhao Wanchun a New Year’s gift. Looking left and right, she felt that the things in the space were too precious. Taking them out was eye-catching, and she didn’t know what else to give. I really racked my brains, but in the end I couldn't find a more difficult net in the space atlas, and the magpie climbed the branch. Although she can make it, a net is so cumbersome, and it takes a long time to make it. The problem is that there is no such pattern at all. Buy it somewhere, regardless of whether it is expensive or not, it is hard to get it just because of your heart.

The night passed quickly. On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was a bit gloomy. It was bitingly cold in the early morning. The wind was not strong but it was cold. It burrowed into the flesh along the gaps in the cotton of the jacket, and the frozen blue glass shivered. .

Early in the morning, the eldest brother brought the second cousin Mo Zihua, the eldest brother Mo Zigui and the third brother Mo Zisong to meet the bride. The second uncle's family who was going back was delayed because they wanted to say goodbye to the master's house, so they asked someone to bring them A silver hairpin and a pair of silver earrings were given to the bride as a meeting gift. Qingli's parents prepared silver hairpins and silver bracelets, which happened to be a set.

Everyone in the family had a hasty meal. Li Moxuan was the gatekeeper at home, and the rest went to the uncle's house to help. Even grandma and grandma couldn't sit still in the house, and sometimes wandered around the door. The gate of the uncle's yard was wide open. , there are festive couplets on the door, a pair of red lanterns hanging on the door, and red firecrackers hanging on the tree, which represent the host's happy event.

Many of the villagers who came early were chatting in small groups in the yard, and the hot tea was replaced by the second sister Qing Qiang and cousin Mo Qingju, shuttling among the crowd.

Qingli's main task was to take care of the bowls and chopsticks. She first went to the kitchen to take inventory, and if there was nothing missing or damaged, she followed Niang Liu into the wedding room.

Red lanterns and a pair of wedding couplets are also hung at the door of the wedding room. After entering the main room, there is a lantern hanging high, with auspicious words written on it, "Luan and phoenix sing in harmony, send off the Guanyin, happy family, good luck" and so on. Chinese characters, a pair of huge red candles on the incense table, calligraphy and paintings around the walls, all of which are festive Fuwa, surrounded by large red silk flowers, red double happiness characters are also pasted on the windows, red butterfly patterns are pasted on the four corners, The furniture on the kang is all newly made. There are two kang boxes. Under the kang, there is also a wardrobe with a height of one person, a dressing table, tables, chairs and benches. The mother Liu spread a quilt and sprinkled a lot of peanuts, longan and lotus seeds on it, which means The bride wants to give birth to a son early.

Qingli didn't understand these customs at all. I heard the second sister say that plum blossoms should not be given to the bride once before, because "plum" and "mei" have the same pronunciation, which has a bad meaning, as if she is cursing the family to have no children.Thus, she had a deeper understanding of the superstitions of the ancients.

The auspicious time has arrived, and there are bursts of suona and drums outside the house, playing joy and setting off firecrackers. The bride walks through the main entrance and steps over the brazier amidst the sound of firecrackers, which also means to get rid of bad luck.
