Chapter 508 The cannon-fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination essay (30)
Unknown to Xu Yin, chili pepper water became popular among the female relatives of various houses.
When Xu's Spices sells new essential oils and perfumes, the mistresses of each mansion will still send their capable maids and wives to keep an eye on them and buy new products as soon as they are available. However, the one they communicate with most in private is the chili pepper water.
“This thing is so useful! I just told my sister-in-law a few days ago that she made a bottle and took it with her for self-defense when traveling. Unexpectedly, she used it to block a bad guy yesterday.”
"Really? It seems that I have to tell my servants to do more when I get back. There is no way, there are many girls in the house."
"Actually, I found another use. You all know that I don't have a good relationship with my mother-in-law. When I'm not here, she tries to torment me. She just called me to follow the rules a while ago, and my hands were because of the previous I had just touched the bottle of this thing and accidentally rubbed it into the corner of my eye, which made me burst into tears without warning. At that time, my father came back home and saw my eyes were red and I was crying silently. He thought that my mother-in-law was bullying me and I was mad. I have lost my temper a lot. My mother-in-law has been away a lot in the past two days, so I have time to get together with my sisters."
“Haha! I didn’t expect it to have such an unexpected effect?”
"It seems that from now on, we can't fight those aunts, concubines, and evil mothers-in-law. If they rub this thing into the corners of their eyes and just watch the master cry without saying anything, they might even make him feel bad."
"Hey! I remembered this! My husband took a concubine into his house at the beginning of the year, and she burst into tears every time. He especially liked her trick. It shows that men do love women who can cry more. But let me face it He can't cry with his pockmarked face, it would be a good idea to use this to help, let's see who can cry beautifully in the future!"
"Hahaha…"
It was only after Mrs. Lin wrote to her that Xu Yin learned that chili pepper water had unknowingly become the favorite of women in Luo City, and had also been developed for a secondary use by a group of noble ladies.
Can’t help but laugh and cry: Isn’t this just like the **** handkerchief lying in her system warehouse?
By the way, chili water is so popular, will the market for chili peppers be in short supply?
She asked Xu Kui to send a servant to find out.
“Girl, you are really good at predicting things. The price of chili peppers in Fucheng has indeed increased a lot this year.”
Xu Yin said with a smile: "Why don't you inform the village chief quickly that you can add a pepper to the types of vegetables in the greenhouse in winter. There is still some time before winter begins. If the villagers are interested, they can form a team to purchase peppers from other places. , bring it back to Fucheng and sell it."
"good idea!"
Xu Kui immediately discussed with the village chief to purchase and plant peppers at the same time.
It just so happened that his He Niantang wanted to transport a batch of "Zhuangyuanhong" to other places, and he could bring back a batch of chili peppers.
The "Zhuang Yuan Hong" he curated has now become the favorite wine among local scholars.
Many restaurants, wine shops and even inns in Fucheng came to buy from him, thus attracting scholars to spend money in the store.
Just as Qiu Wei's list came down, the scholars who had previously been pursuing "Zhuangyuanhong", either by chance or by drinking this wine, were confident and performed well during the exam, and all of them were on the list.
Now the wine has become so popular that even other places have heard about it - "I drank Luo Cheng Zhuangyuan Red and rode a horse through the streets."
No, a restaurant over there in Fengcheng asked him to order a batch of goods.
“Shopkeeper, did you say at the beginning of the month that your restaurant had a batch of ‘Zhuangyuanhong’? Where’s the wine?”
Grandmother came with a jug to drink for her son.
Because he didn’t have enough money, his son gave up taking the provincial examination this year and recruited a few students to work as tutors at home. He said that he could earn some money to study and save up some money. It wouldn’t be too late to take the provincial examination three years later.
No matter how unwilling Grandma is, what can she do?
I heard that this "number one scholar red" made many scholars in Luo City reach high school in one fell swoop, so I thought about scooping a pot for my son to drink.
If it tastes good, she will bring him a pot every other month and drink it for three years. She will not believe that he failed the exam.
“Here comes, here comes! The wine is here!”
At this time, the clerk from He Niantang finally delivered the wine to Fengcheng.
"My shopkeeper said that the next batch of Zhuangyuanhong will be next autumn at the earliest. However, there will be a batch of fruit wine ready for drinking next spring. If you want it, I will submit it to you. There is not much fruit wine, so the order is late. It may not be available." The shopkeeper didn't have anything yet. Grandma, who was waiting to scoop out the wine, said in a high voice: "What? The next batch of Zhuangyuanhong won't be available until next autumn at the earliest? Then where can my son go to scoop it up if he wants to drink it? ?”
Heniantang clerk Xu Cai was originally an errand boy in the Xu Mansion. He was a clever man. Now he was taken by Xu Kui to train him as his deputy.
Xu Cai recognized his grandma at a glance. Isn't this the same person who came to the house to enjoy the autumn wind last year?
I suddenly felt like venting my anger on my girl, and said angrily: "Your family is not the only one who drinks Zhuangyuanhong from my family. Is it possible that if you want to buy it, I have to give it to you? Who are you?"
The restaurant manager also wanted to ask He Niantang to buy some fruit wine, so he said to his grandma impatiently: "Your Zhiqian didn't even take the provincial examination. Why are you staring at this wine? You have to wait until Zhiqian takes the provincial examination in three years." Drink again."
Sun's mother was so angry that she fell down and wanted to argue with the shopkeeper, but the waiter took her out.
Xu Cai asked curiously: "That woman's son didn't take the provincial examination?"
“Yeah, I don’t know what I’m thinking. I clearly picked up a load of gifts from my relatives’ house in Luocheng, but I actually said that I couldn’t afford the money and I won’t try it in Fucheng or countryside this year.”
As soon as Xu Cai heard this, he asked the shopkeeper about the Sun family in detail.
Go back to Luocheng and relay it to Xu Kui.
Xu Kui naturally told Xu Yin without missing a word.
Xu Yin was very puzzled after hearing this: "Sun Zhiqian didn't take the civil examination?"
Not only did you not go to the civil service examination, but you also opened a private school at home and became a teacher?
This was a surprise to her.
She thought she had won the exam and her grandma and her family were feeling proud.
I didn’t expect to give up.
Just because there is no money?
Aha! She, a stingy little butterfly, refused to be the male protagonist's purse, and just slapped the male protagonist of the imperial examination essay away?
How can the male protagonist marry a princess, enter the court, fight with ministers, and become famous all over the world if he doesn't even win the exam?
So is this still an imperial examination document?
Xu Yin rubbed her chin, becoming more and more confused the more she thought about it.
However, the plot collapsed, which reflects that she is one step further away from the fate of cannon fodder, right?
This is a good thing!
Xu Yin touched her palm and said: "Everyone has worked hard this year, and your monthly income is doubled this month!"
While everyone below was happy, they couldn't help but wonder: Why did the girl give them a monthly salary increase before the New Year's Eve?
Xu Kui asked irritably: "Girl, before the twelfth lunar month comes, you will increase the monthly salary for the children. Will you also increase it during the New Year?"
Xu Yin reacted: Yes, it’s not the Chinese New Year yet.
But the persona cannot be broken, so he cleared his throat coldly: "If you perform well, it will naturally increase."
"Wow…"
Everyone ran around happily telling each other.
Xu Yin: “…”
Thanks to the fact that several of the projects she invested in were very profitable, otherwise the ancestors of the Xu family would have been so angry that she would have scolded them as a prodigal, right?
