After hanging the plaque, the yard really looks like a new home.

In order to express his gratitude, Yun Yi asked Qiu Niang to give all the remaining tea to Uncle Chen. The old guy was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

It's time for supper soon.

Qiu Niang made egg noodles tonight, which was the egg noodles. The noodles were provided by Yunyi, and the eggs and vegetables were bought on the street.

It was the first time Qiu Niang saw a dough cake. At first, she didn’t know how to cook it, but it was only after Yun Yi taught her. She learned that she could eat it with just a cup of tea by putting it in boiling water, but she was shocked. Then she secretly blamed her country bumpkin for not knowing it. I think the rich people eat noodles like this, and they have gained knowledge!

But she didn't know that this bread had nothing to do with her knowledge. Not to mention her, she was the richest person today, even if she had never eaten it today.

While having dinner, Qiu Niang couldn't help but talk about the money in Yun Yi's house.

"Langjun, why don't you dig a hole to hide your money?"

Yun Yi thought about it and looked at her and said, "How about you deal with it, we will take care of the money in the future."

"Ah?" Qiu Niang almost choked herself to death with a mouthful of dregs, blushed and looked up: "We, our family..."

Yun Yi didn't think so much about money. He was originally a person who had no idea about money. He used to be the same. Except for food and rent, the rest of the money he earned was sent to an orphanage. As for men and women, he had no experience at all.

"Yes, you are responsible for buying groceries anyway, right?" Yun Yi said naturally.

Qiu Niang bit her lower lip lightly, lowered her head and didn't dare to go to see Yun Yi. She silently sucked a bowl of noodles, and finally left a poached egg and didn't want to eat it. She carried the bowl and ran straight into the kitchen.

Yun Yi looked at her leaving back curiously, not knowing what she said wrong, but why did she feel like this girl suddenly become strange.

Soon, he suddenly saw Qiu Niang walking towards the backyard with a dustpan and a small flower hoe. Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled. The laughter seemed to alarm someone, making her pace quicker, and almost tripped by the threshold.

···

The next morning, it was still dark.

However, the gate of the Taohua House was knocked on. Qiu Niang, who lived in the front yard, was washing up, and the tender green willow branches were chewing carefully in her mouth.

"Well, who?"

"Is it Qiu Niang? It's me... Well, that, did Brother Yi get up?"

Qiu Niang frowned slightly, "Sister, why are you here? The husband hasn't gotten up yet? He didn't get up so early."

"Ah, what should I do... open the door first." Chunniang urged anxiously.

After the door opened, the two sisters looked at each other, and Chunniang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Qiu Niang was stunned at first, then asked, "But my father is sick again?"

Chunniang shook her head: "My father and mother are all right, yes, it's my in-laws' house."

It turned out that Chunniang distributed half of the snow salt and pepper powder she gave her the day before yesterday to her husband's house. Her mother-in-law opened a breakfast shop in Yulin Inner Port, which specialized in selling dumpling soup and cooking cakes... By chance, she actually sold the dumpling soup she wanted to eat to the customer.

The bowl of dumpling soup was filled with a little pepper and iodine salt, and the taste was naturally much better than before. The customer was also aware of the goods. After tasting a bowl, he would have to give another bowl. In addition, this person had some influence at the dock, so Chunniang and her mother-in-law dared not offend him, so she could only sell him.

But who knew that after a meal, this man actually ate the taste of the marrow. This morning, he even brought his brothers to eat again. Chunniang and her mother-in-law had to bite the bullet and sell it, but there was only a small jar of pepper and salt, which was enough to sell it for a few portions, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"I sent the remaining half of my family to her for emergency response, but the problem now is that the person will be there again tomorrow, and it will be gone."

Chunniang was anxious, and her eyes were red in the blink of an eye. She just wanted to respect her husband's family. Who would have thought that it would harm their two elders?

Qiu Niang also knew the seriousness of the matter. They were just ordinary people and could not afford to offend those people: "Do you brother-in-law understand?"

Chunniang nodded: "He is with my father-in-law and mother-in-law, for fear that those people will make trouble."

Qiu Niang pursed her lips, looked at her sister's expression, frowned and said, "Sister wants to ask your husband for a little more pepper?"

Chunniang's expression froze and said angrily: "I want to ask Brother Yi, but it's not in vain. My father-in-law said he would spend money to buy it, and I brought all the money."

As she said that, she took out a coin of copper from her arms, which were stained with flour crumbs. It was supposed to be a bun that had just been put on breakfast.

Qiu Niang's big eyes were full of helplessness. She always felt that it was a bit inappropriate for her sister to do this.

However, after all, she was her own sister and loved her the most, so Qiuniang could only walk towards the backyard with a tough bullet.

At this time, Yun Yi just got up and pushed open the door and met Qiu Niang with a tangled look on her face.

The master and servant looked at each other. This was the first time the little girl looked up and looked at him. Yun Yi was amazed by her appearance that had not yet grown up, and then he said curiously: "What's wrong? Is the one who shrugged his face in the morning?"

Qiu Niang pursed her lips, not knowing how to explain it, so she could only repeat the causes and consequences one by one, just waiting for Yun Yi to decide for himself.

Yun Yi pondered for a moment, and felt that it was no big deal, so he agreed: "Yes, since it's your sister, then sell it to her. You can just do the price and it's up to you."

"ah?"

"What, I said you can do it yourself." Yun Yi yawned lazily.

Qiu Niang was in her heart. The saying "Since it's your sister" was like treating herself as her family, which made her feel that Yun Yi was reluctant to agree because of her. For a moment, her heart felt as sweet as honey.

"Thank you, my husband, Qiu Niang knows how to do it." The little girl lowered her head and left.

In the kitchen, the little girl carefully moved out a clay pot from the closet, which was full of pepper.

Chunniang took a look and suddenly shook her head and said, "It's not this color, it's another kind of red..."

Qiu Niang opened her mouth and remembered that Yun Yi had made her decide. She felt sweet again. Without thinking too much, she took down another jar full of chili powder.

As for the pricing, pepper powder is comparable to gold, but it does not reach the price of gold. According to the market price, a pound of pepper powder is about one tael of silver, which is a consistent copper coin. When converted to the price of later generations, it is a sky-high price of four or five thousand yuan per pound.

(This is based on the chapter of the seller of Li Ping'er's dictionary in "Jin Ping Mei", so it shouldn't be very different.)

Although he was his own sister, it was Yun Yi's thing after all, so Qiu Niang didn't dare to be careless. She carefully weighed a pound of chili powder with a small weighing, then wrapped it in oil paper, solemnly handed it to her sister's hand, and quickly collected her copper coins and started counting.

After these series of actions, Chunniang herself became like an outsider. Seeing this, she lit up Qiuniang's forehead with some taste and said stingy: "It's only been so many days since I've been so irritating with my sister."
