Chapter 875: Going Out Means Difficulty in Everything
ss it was a serious case with no other options, like Wang Yuanwai's...After a long while, Dr. Sun came out and asked, "Find a quiet place for me to write the prescription so that the medicine boy can...Those who have money in their pockets should boldly go and take a look.
Of course, it's easy to get in, but hard to leave empty-handed.
Sniffing the rich fruity aroma, surrounded by lush greenery, who could resist buying some…
By the time the Dean of Agriculture, Mrs. Xing, Xu Xi, Mei Lan, Gu Qingqing, and others arrived, the stall was already bustling with activity.
They glanced at the price list, then at the customers with their overflowing baskets, and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
No wonder there were rumors before that the County Princess was blessed, this isn't just any kind of fortune!
Set up a shop at random and it's like striking gold!
This whole place is crawling with money, not customers...
Jia Yin greeted them and chatted with them for a few moments before asking them to choose some fruit they liked. Then, she led them to the back to have tea and chat.
It wasn't that Jia Yin was anxious, it was just that they hadn't started early enough. They were worried the fruit would sell out before they could get their hands on any.
Xindu is always full of wealthy people. A white jade gourd, priced at five taels each, was sold out in the blink of an eye, leaving only two left…
In the backyard of the shop, Guli had specially renovated a main house when he first came here. It was intended for the owner to rest in temporarily when they arrived. Now, it was perfect for hosting guests.
After a busy morning, Zhao Hui had already become familiar with the maidservants and young men.
Jia Yin simply let go and led Madam Liu and the others over to sit and drink tea.
Of course, fruit is a must-have. Still, the signature dish of Suijin Beach is the emerald melon!
A large, emerald-green jade melon was cut into bite-sized pieces and placed on a white porcelain dish. As soon as it was served, half of it was gone.
The house was filled with the sweet scent of emerald cucumbers, making people love it just by smelling it.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said to Jia Yin, "The county princess truly has some good things hidden away. There wasn't any jade gourd being sold earlier!"
Mrs. Jia Er and Mrs. Xing also smiled and nodded, "It's freezing cold outside, and we're sitting around a brazier eating watermelon. It's just amazing to think about."
The Dean also nodded.
She was taciturn, speaking little, but her hands were quick, already picking up the second piece.
Of all the fruits, she liked jade melons best. It was a pity that it was difficult to get one even in summer, but unexpectedly, she had her fill on this cold winter day!
Jia Yin walked for a whole morning, pounding her aching calves, and smiled: "My greenhouse is too small. I barely managed to clear out a little space, so I planted five or six cucumber seedlings. They bore ten jade-green cucumbers."
"That's enough for our family to have some fresh food, we can't sell it." Let me know if you need anything else translated!
Hearing the words "our own people," everyone was happy.
Mrs. Xing looked around but didn't see her own daughter, so she couldn't help but frown.
A sister-in-law wouldn't help when her younger sister opens a shop.
She was afraid that Jia Yin would be angry, so she covered for her daughter and said: "I heard that Yuan Yuan had a fever, and Wan'er is probably busy at home. "
"I'm going to pop over there in a bit. What would you like for lunch, Princess I’ll have Wan’er prepare something and bring it over. She wants to see if the children can come out, so she should be able to manage making some food.”
Jia Yin quickly waved her hand, "Aunt, please don't trouble my sister-in-law, raising children is hard work."
This morning, my sister-in-law sent someone to say that she couldn't come to help. Actually, I have plenty of people here, so there's no need for her to come!
As long as she takes good care of my nephew, I'm happy. As for meals, that's no big deal, my second brother will have someone send over food boxes.
Mrs. Xing then felt relieved and said a few more jokes. The jade melon was also eaten, and everyone started to make arrangements for their departure.
After all, the shopkeepers in front are still busy. They can't help here and would only delay Jiayin from taking care of business.
Mrs. Liu and Madam Jia Er walked at the back. Mrs. Liu instructed Jia Yin, “Your grandmother and your mother are both not at home, so don’t be polite. If you encounter anything that needs help, please ask someone to find us immediately, understand”
"Understood, Auntie. Just wait until I'm done with these few days, and I'll go find Auntie to talk." Jia Yin warmly replied.
She smiled like a blooming flower, causing Mrs. Liu to sigh once more. Such a good daughter, why wasn't she born to her
Baozhu was clinging to her mother, wanting to stay and help Jia Yin.
Lady Jia Er had always liked to play with her daughters and Jiayin together, always hoping that her daughters would learn some skills.
So, Baozhu got her wish. After sending her mother away, she completely let loose and had a good time.
She got a set of maidservant's clothes, took off her jewelry, braided two pigtails, and went to the front shop to help with the work.
Jia Yin didn't stop her either.
The little girl was confined to the inner courtyard and didn't know many people. It would be good for her to come out to the family shop and observe the world, learn how to read people's expressions, so that she wouldn't be easily deceived in the future...
Without saying a word of good, she opened another "treasure chest." Only to say that Li Laotai and others boarded a boat and walked on the wide river surface. At first, everyone was still somewhat excited.
But when the scenery becomes tiresome, I start to miss home, and that feeling of seasickness sets in.
From Li Laotai to Xingxing and Yueyaer, everyone, young and old, was so disgusted they turned white in the face.
Fortunately, they arrived at the pier at this time. Everyone took the seasickness medicine prepared by Jia Yin, and they felt much better.
Today, the cook made white rice porridge and served it with sour, spicy, and slightly salty side dishes. Everyone ate a mouthful, and finally stopped sleeping.
Li Lao leaned against the side of the boat, watching the sunset outside her window. She couldn't help but think about her eldest granddaughter.
"I wonder what Funiu is busy with. Without us keeping an eye on her, this little rascal might just fly off to heaven."
Tao Hongying also looked listlessly and said, "I guess she must have gone to mess with a new store. With the Chinese New Year coming up soon, she's probably planning to 'rob the rich to help the poor'!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Mrs. Wen comforted them, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about Funiu. This girl is the smartest child I've ever seen in my life. She will never suffer a loss no matter what."
Hui Niang also nodded, smiling as she peeled a mandarin orange, "No wonder men don't want to bring us out when they go. Taking care of everything is just troublesome."
"Besides, it's not even that far outside. We already start missing home, what a bunch of wusses."
As I was speaking, the door was knocked on.
Xia Qing happened to be at the door, so she opened the hatch.
Jia Yi was dragging his pants leg, soaked up to his waist.
Behind him, Lao Huang grinned with a goofy smile, looking as if he had just emerged from the water.
Both hands held a large fish, its tail still thrashing, incredibly fresh.
Jia Yi smiled brightly and said like he was offering a treasure, "Grandma, Huang Lao and I caught some fish. Liu Yang just went ashore and bought lots of tofu. Let's stew it for dinner tonight."
As a result, Li Lao Tai and the others all changed their expressions, covering their noses one after another.
Their stomachs were just right, and the smell of fish made them churn again.
Mrs. Li hurriedly chased the man away, "You smelly boy, take your fish away!"
"We'll have plain rice and salted vegetables, that's enough, please don't bother us!"
Jia Yi quickly hid the fish behind his back and coughed twice, smiling and saying, "Grandma, I forgot you get seasick."
Then you rest, we'll eat ourselves.
Then he dragged Lao Huang away and ran.
Xia Qing quickly closed the hatch, and everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.
Li Lao smiled and scolded, “This stinky boy, he's always grown in stature but not in wisdom!”
He wishes he could bite into every single fish, thinking we're all the same as him.
Tao Hongying replied, “Jia Yi and his fourth uncle are both lucky to be in the army. If they were in court, they would probably be sold out within a few days and even count money for others.”
Everyone started to laugh.
"I heard that Old Huang is rather interesting. Have you found out anything about his background" some, giving us inferior seedlings. This year, you've seen with your own eyes that the seedlings they planted are the same as ours, yet the harvest is like this in autumn. Do you feel ashamed"The vil...
