peasant young lady

Chapter 171 Yang Lihua is Missing
Cheng Xia's heart trembled, really what he was worried about happened?
"Why are you missing?"

Lin Xiu burst into tears, she said incoherently, "Last night, I listened to my sister-in-law and kept guarding my sister-in-law's house, but my mother said I don't need to guard my sister-in-law's house. I had no choice but to go back to my room. I knocked on the door of my sister-in-law’s room early this morning, but it opened as soon as I pushed it. When I went in, I saw that my sister-in-law’s clothes were gone, and the jewelry I usually used also disappeared. I couldn't find her."

Cheng Xia threw away the basket, followed Lin Xiu and ran down the mountain, Yang Lihua actually left?This was beyond her expectation.She thought Yang Lihua would be overly sad, but she didn't, so she just left.

Cheng Xia followed Lin Xiu to Yang's house, Chen Shi was sitting in Yang Lihua's room weeping, Xiaolong stood by Chen Shi's side, patting the back of Chen Shi's hand with his small hands, tears were hanging from the corners of his eyes and weeping silently.

Cheng Xia looked around Yang Lihua's room carefully, there were indeed few necessary things, some clothes were taken away, the rouge and gouache were gone, and the 20 taels of silver that Eucommia gave her yesterday was also gone, Cheng Xia was silent, his mind turned quickly After a few laps, she turned around and ran out. She was going to Huangdun Village to see if Yang Lihua simply went to find Xiao Du.

Running all the way to the door of Xiao Du's house in Huangdun Village, he saw a large number of villagers gathered outside his house, talking about something.Cheng Xia took a closer look, and saw Xiao Du and Du's mother sitting on the ground crying, saying that her home was robbed last night and lost money, and when others asked her how much she lost, she didn't say anything, just watching The people are in a hurry.

Cheng Xia turned her head and walked out, but Yang Lihua didn't come, it seemed that she was determined to leave, but she was a girl, and she had never been to the county town a few times, where could she go?
After Chen confirmed that Yang Lihua had really left, she almost went crazy. She searched for Yang Lihua with everyone she knew, even Yang Lihua and Cuihua, but after a few days, there was still no news.Cheng Xia felt very guilty, and felt that if she hadn't forced Yang Lihua to recognize the reality, she might not have been so desperate to take this step.

Mrs. Chen just shook her head lightly, saying that she would rather Yang Lihua leave and find a new life than marry into such a family, that would really ruin her life.

Today was the county fair, Cheng Xia and Dahua each carried ten ceramic jars of chili sauce, and got into Uncle Tian's ox cart early in the morning.Cheng Xia still had a little fantasy in her heart, or maybe Yang Lihua was just hiding in Chong'an County, which she was still familiar with. Although the shopkeeper and Aunt Han both sent people to search the county, there was always hope.

Mrs. Chen has lost weight rapidly in the past few days, and there is no smile on her face.Headhunter Yang put the responsibility for Yang Lihua's disappearance on Chen's body, which made Chen's self-blame even heavier.

When Chong'an County arrived, Cheng Xia took a few deep breaths and jumped off the carriage. She couldn't give up looking for Yang Lihua, even if there was only a glimmer of hope.

Cheng Xia carried a basket of chili sauce on her back, and a basket of rose sauce in her hand. She first went to Tianyou grocery store to hand over the rose sauce to the shopkeeper, and then deposited the money in the bank. Only then did she find a comparison with Dahua A small stall was set up in a suitable place, and she began to officially sell her own brand of chili sauce.

At the grocery store just now, the shopkeeper curiously asked Cheng Xia what was in the other basket, Cheng Xia didn't hide anything, and gave it directly to the shopkeeper, only saying that it was fine to put it in for seasoning when cooking, and specifically told him that it was very special. Spicy, if you can't eat spicy food, it's better not to try it lightly.

Although the shopkeeper hadn't tried it, he knew that the rose sauce was selling very well, and he also knew that the girl was really capable, so he asked Boss Shao if he could continue to cooperate with the grocery store. Cheng Xia didn't directly refuse, but was polite. It's fair to say that this thing is no better than rose sauce, and everyone can use it. She wants to go to the market to test the acceptance of the people, and the future depends on the situation.Fortunately, the shopkeeper didn't force him, and only asked Cheng Xia to give priority to the grocery store when he wanted to cooperate.

Cheng Xia set up her own business next to a stall selling tofu nao. She didn't have a table or chairs, so she just spread a layer of cloth on the floor, and placed eighteen ceramic jars on the cloth.One jar was given to the shopkeeper of the grocery store, and Cheng Xia decided to give it to Aunt Han when it was sold out, so that they could taste it too.

Seeing Dahua sitting aside cautiously, Cheng Xia raised her hand to pat her, opened one of the porcelain jars of chili sauce, and sat quietly.She was also embarrassed to speak, she used to admire people who could sell along the street, because she still couldn't let go.

Fortunately, an uncle bought a portion of tofu nao and ate it slowly, while looking curiously at Cheng Xia's stall, especially when he saw a red thing in a ceramic jar, he was even more curious, and finally a After the bowl of tofu nao was finished, the uncle ordered another one. During the process of making tofu xishi, the uncle squatted in front of Cheng Xia's stall and asked curiously, "Little lady, what are you selling here?"

When a customer came to the door, Cheng Xia quickly smiled, "Hello, uncle, I brought these things today not for sale, but for you to taste for free. This is the chili sauce I developed by myself. It tastes very spicy. Uncle, if you can If you eat spicy food, I can add some to your tofu brain, if you can’t eat it, it would be a pity.”

Not for sale?The middle-aged man was overjoyed, and hurriedly brought the tofu nao made by Tofu Xishi, and asked Cheng Xia to bring some of it up. Looking at the red layer on the tofu nao, the middle-aged man said suspiciously, "It's really edible. ?fine?"

Cheng Xia smiled reassuringly, "Uncle, you can eat as much as you want, I promise you will be fine."

Out of curiosity, the middle-aged man scooped up a spoonful of bean curd dipped in chili sauce and put it in his mouth, and suddenly he slapped his mouth with a hot breath, "Oh, it's really spicy, this thing is much hotter than cornel. "

The tofu nao-eating man who was standing on the side and kept paying attention to the movement here also hurriedly brought over his own tofu nao and asked Cheng Xia to scoop some up for a try. After eating a little bit, seeing them eat happily, I was also very happy in my heart.

When an aunt saw it, she came up to Cheng Xia, pointed to the chili sauce and said, "Are you eating it for free?"

Cheng Xia nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Auntie, I'm afraid it's too spicy for you to accept, so I let you try it, and you can try it for free today, and when I come back next time, I'll have to charge you."

When my aunt heard it, she was overjoyed, but immediately faced difficulties again, "I don't have anything to hold."

Cheng Xia smiled, "If your aunt's house is not far from here, you might as well go home and bring back some dishes, and I'll serve them for you."

When the aunt heard this, she asked Cheng Xia to wait, then turned around and left quickly.There are convenient places to hold things around, so Cheng Xia directly asked Cheng Xia to scoop up two spoonfuls, saying that he would take them home and taste them.

Cheng Xia responded one by one, and chatted enthusiastically with an old lady who struck up a conversation.

"Little lady, what did you use to make it? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Cheng Xia watched the crowd listening intently, smiled inwardly, and said directly, "Ma'am, this stuff is grown by a distant relative of mine. She is too embarrassed to come to the market to sell it, so let me do it for you." Yes, she said this thing is called pepper, as for how it is grown, I don’t know.”

She is not so stupid to reveal her own bottom, and once the chili sauce becomes popular in the future, some people with ulterior motives will deliberately find out where she lives and ask her to hand over these things, so she will leave herself alone. Come out, it is best to choose clean.

"Chili, I haven't heard of it." The aunt didn't intend to stop there.

Cheng Xia still smiled, "She said she accidentally discovered the plant in her home, and she had never seen it before."

"I'm talking about my lady," a fat aunt forced her way into the crowd and asked anxiously, "Today is free, so next time I come, do I have to pay for it?"

"Yes," Cheng Xia replied, "Next time, I will have to pay two hundred Wen for a porcelain altar."

"Ah, it's so expensive," after Cheng Xia finished speaking, she heard a lot of gasps. Cheng Xia and Dahua looked at each other and smiled. Two silvers and one porcelain altar is enough.

But two hundred cash is not too low. After all, the market for chili sauce is the general public. Cheng Xia doesn't expect them to buy rose sauce like those big ladies.

Seeing the sudden change of color in the eyes of the aunt, Cheng Xia just smiled, "Because this item is rare, not every market sells it, so the price will be higher, and, I promise, you will definitely eat it from other places. If you don’t get this item, it’s the only one.”

"But, it's too expensive, I can't afford it." Someone still murmured.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, take advantage of my free chili sauce today, you can try some more, and you can also bring your relatives and friends over to serve some for free."

As soon as Cheng Xia's voice faded away, a lot of dishes, as well as oil paper and bamboo tubes poured up in no time. Cheng Xia scooped up chili sauce for them, but in half a noon, the eighteen bottles of chili sauce were exhausted.

Dahua felt overwhelmed with a sense of accomplishment. While cleaning up the empty porcelain jar, she couldn't help sighing, saying that if they were charged for these, it would be nearly four taels of silver, and she had never seen so much money.Cheng Xia pulled Da Hua and seriously assured her that she would make a lot of money in the future.

Some sincere words made Dahua almost cry. Seeing Dahua's excitement, Cheng Xia quickly took her away.She still has a lot of things to buy. She has to make some small signs of 'Cheng Yun Chili Sauce' and buy a pot for making hot pot. Now that there are chili peppers, she wants Yang Dalang to try spicy hot pot.

Cheng Xia looked around carefully as he walked towards Shangji Pharmacy, hoping to see Yang Lihua, but Yang Lihua didn't see it, but saw Xiao Du who was selling pineapples. Cheng Xia felt sick and closed his eyes hard Suppressing the anger in my heart, I grabbed an old lady who was about to buy a pineapple, beckoned her to come over, and whispered to her where to find pineapple and how to eat it.

The aunt was surprised, and when she saw Cheng Xia nodding her head affirmatively, she told the news to the people who came next to her. In an instant, everyone around Xiao Du knew that no one was buying pineapples anymore, so they immediately dispersed and went away. I found it.

Cheng Xia sneered when she saw Xiao Du panicked and wanted to keep the guests. She relied on her methods to make money and even hurt the people around her. To slander and insult.

Dahua also heard about Yang Lihua, so she just sighed.

Cheng Xia pulled the big flower and walked forward, but suddenly the crowd in front suddenly ran towards the west of the city, Cheng Xia was staggered by the crowd, and couldn't help but grab someone and asked, "Auntie, what happened? "

"Oh, Liu Xiucai's wife in the west of the city was caught and raped, and they all went to watch the fun."
