Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 29
The next day, Li Kongzhu packed a few bunches of candied haws in an old basket, and went to Mai Ya'er's house first by taking advantage of returning the basket.

The door of the courtyard was opened by Mrs. Lin. Seeing that it was her, she enthusiastically pulled her into the courtyard, "Old Sanjia, why are you here? There is nothing wrong. Come, come, come in!"

Li Kongzhu walked into the yard with a smile, and took off the pannier on his back, "I borrowed it yesterday, and I'm here to return it today. It's not too late for my aunt to use it!"

"In this idle day, there is no need for a basket. We don't have any animals at home, so we don't need to mow the grass." As he spoke, he moved her to the room and shouted to the west room: "Ya'er!" , Your third sister-in-law is here. Come out and chat!"

"Hey!" Hearing that Li Diaozhu had come.Mai Ya'er hurried out from the west room.

Seeing her, she walked over enthusiastically, "Sister-in-law, why are you here? Didn't you say you wanted to pick Shanlihong yesterday? How are you? How much did you pick?"

"What! Picking red from the mountains? What are you doing picking that stuff?" Mrs. Lin led Li Diaozhu into the house, and brought her a bowl of white water. Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, he asked very puzzled, "Could it be possible to sell it?"

"Well, I'm going to sell it!" Li Kongzhu thanked him and sat down, put the basket on the table and replied with a smile.

Lin looked at her with some sympathy and said: "Although it's not worth any money, it's an income. It's not too much. If it's not much, I'll ask Ya'er to help you for a day."

"Not for now, I'm busy!"

Li Kongzhu said with a smile, and opened the scarf covering the blue cloth, "I don't have any good skills, I just learned some crafts secretly in the mansion. Thinking that the red taste in this mountain is really good, I thought about it." Eating like this blindly, I tasted it yesterday, it’s quite delicious. Aunt Ya’er and younger siblings, try it and see if it’s enough for the selling price!”

As soon as Mai Yaer opened the cloth towel, she saw the shiny string of red fruits.

Thinking about the gourd she mentioned in the last episode yesterday, she wondered, "Sister-in-law, is that what you were talking about?"

"Yes! Can you taste it?" Li Kongzhu reached out and took the skewers and handed them to her.Then he took a skewer and gave it to Mrs. Lin.

Lin held it in her hand and took a closer look, "It's really red in the mountains!?"

The malt over there couldn't wait to put it into his mouth and took a bite, "Crack!" The taste of crisp sugar, and then the red and sour taste of the mountains inside.

"The taste is quite strange, it tastes sweet and refreshing, it's really delicious!" Mai Ya'er said, and took another bite.She doesn't like the single sour anymore, but with this sugar flavor, she really likes it a little bit.

"Hmm! It tastes good, the little one should like it!" Lin also tried to take a bite.It really has such a taste.

Seeing that they accepted and liked them, Li Diaozhu couldn't help but feel relieved, as long as it suits his taste.

Lin finished eating a bunch, eyes flashed, and asked Li Kongzhu: "Old Sanjia, you really want to buy money with this."

Li Kongzhu nodded, "Auntie thinks it's okay."

"Yes, of course. I think the taste is not only good, but I haven't seen it before. If I can really buy it, I'm afraid it will be very popular!" Speaking of this, she asked with a little hesitation, "This thing is good. Do not?"

Li Kongzhu smiled slightly.The face of Mai Ya'er next to her was also a bit condensed.

Looking at her mother-in-law, it is not easy to openly preach, so she turned around and said, "During the last episode yesterday, the rock sugar in the shop cost six renminbi a catty, and the white sugar cost 150 renminbi a catty."

"Third sister-in-law, I see that the sugar hanging on the gourd doesn't look like water sugar, is it made of the white sugar you bought yesterday!"

"Yes!" Li Kongzhu received the look from her, "It costs a little, and I don't know if I can get a good price. I'm trying to set a price. I'm afraid I can't sell it if I set a high price. It’s gone, and I can’t get it back.”

"Oh my god, why did you buy white sugar to make it!" Mrs. Lin was also shocked, hearing her daughter-in-law talk about the price of the sugar, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her flesh.Looking at the land of the third child, she actually used the extremely expensive white sugar to make this worthless thing, what a waste of fortune.

"Water sugar is not as sweet as white sugar, auntie!"

"That can't be such a waste of money!" Seeing that she spoke calmly, Lin couldn't help shaking her head.It's true that I'm used to living a wealthy life in the mansion, and I don't know the hardships of common people running a house.

Li Kongzhu smiled lightly and didn't explain, seeing that the conversation was about the same.Just got up and said goodbye.

Mai Ya'er sent her out of the hospital.When he came out, he took her hand to reassure her, "My mother-in-law is picking up semen. The white sugar is so expensive, and she specifies that she doesn't want to bring it. Don't worry, sister-in-law. I won't learn it!"

Li Kongzhu smiled indifferently, "It's okay, this thing doesn't have any skills, just watch it a few times and it will be fine. I just want to figure it out quickly!"

Although Mai Ya'er agreed, she still shook her head firmly and said to her, "I won't do it. Don't worry, sister-in-law!"

Li Diaozhu liked her frankness.This time, it was also based on the intention of testing, if she was really greedy, then in the future, I could save face with her.

From the looks of it now, she was still worth paying for.In this strange world, it is impossible for him to fight alone.The only way is to make friends with a few confidantes who can speak for themselves and speak for themselves.

After leaving Mai Ya'er's house, Li Kongzhu went to Li Chang's house again.

When the red fruit was taken out, Wang's grandson Jiwa immediately took one and ate it.

As soon as he put it in his mouth, he jumped up and down and shouted in surprise: "It's delicious, it's delicious! It's delicious!"

Seeing the greedy look of her grandson, Mrs. Wang couldn't help cursing, "You greedy monkey, what if someone kidnaps you with a candy someday!"

Then he asked Li Kongzhu what was the matter.

Li Diaozhu only said that he came to give candied haws, and wanted to see if it was suitable for Xiaowazi, thinking that he could use this to sell a few pocket money.

As soon as Wang Shi heard that she deliberately bypassed the two children of the Zhao family and came to their place, her eyes flickered.

She guessed that she was afraid that the other two spouses would make a fuss in the future, and if there was a disturbance at that time, the family would be favored by her again, so they would have to come out and say a few words of justice.

Glancing at the many candied haws in the basket, Wang rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I see that this kid loves it very much, so he should not worry about selling it. By the way, are you going to sell it in the last episode?"

"It's for sale! Yesterday I went to the fair with Ya'er's younger siblings to sell leather. Although it was not a fair, I saw a lot of people. I think there will be more people when I come to the fair. Then, maybe I can buy a good price. Now the family wants There are too many purchases, and there are too many places to spend money on!" Seeing that her undisguised intentions were accepted by her, Li Kongzhu followed the conversation with a smile.

Mrs. Wang nodded when she heard this, "It's a good thing if there is real income!"

Seeing that the destination was reached, Li Kongzhu went on to gossip a few more words.When he was leaving, Mrs. Wang took out a few sweet potatoes from her own family as a gift, and Li Diaozhu accepted it without hesitation.

After returning home, just as he stepped into the doorway to put down the basket, he saw Zhao Junyi limping in, resisting a bundle of firewood.
