Hua Lijuan stared at the vivid peony and star embroidery in Yu Qingshu's hand, and she was so happy. It was like a solution to her urgent problem.
"This is an embroidery that my daughter came up with on her own. How much do you think it's worth?"
Hua Lijuan usually bought handkerchiefs at the same price, four coins each. The better handkerchiefs would be sold in the showroom, and if they caught the eye of a noble, they would be offered a high price.
The money was divided 80% and 80% respectively: she got 80% and the embroiderer got 20%.
"Your embroidery looks pretty good, and I need it urgently. If you want five, I'll give you twenty-four coins. How about that?"
"How is it? What do you mean? That's really great, I can even sell it for a few more coins." Yu Qingshu thought to himself. For Qingshu, it was really a pie in the sky, almost knocking him out.
"If you have better embroidered handkerchiefs in the future, feel free to send them to me. You won't suffer any loss," Hua Lijuan added.
"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Mr. Hua. I wish you a prosperous business and all the best!" Yu Qingshu, who was not very good at saying auspicious words, took a long time to utter these two sentences.
Now, including the money from the embroidered handkerchief, he had earned a total of 87 coins. Yu Qingshu held his money bag tightly and prepared to go to the East Market.
In Yuye Town, there is the East Market, which mainly sells rice, flour, grain and oil. The West Market is mainly for pawnshops. The South Market is mainly for restaurants, and the North Market is for all kinds of ready-made clothes and cloth.
There is a mayor in Yuye Town named Ye Mulin. He is 48 years old this year. The mayor's wife is Lin Wan'er, who is about 32 years old this year. She also has bright eyes and white teeth, and can be considered a beauty with a bit of coldness.
The mayor and his wife had an only child, and they loved her very much. Her name was Ye Lianmei, and she was fifteen years old. She was also very pretty and was about to meet someone.
Ye Lianmei usually likes to play the piano, paint, and practice calligraphy, which are also some of the things that some literati like to do.
The cultural atmosphere in Yuye Town is very good. The largest academy in the town is located in the northern part of the city, called Wenren Academy.
Wenren Academy is divided into four classes: A, B, C, and D. Students can be assigned to a better class by taking an exam.
The dean of Wenren Academy is Liang Shuwen, a former top scholar, who is only 22 years old this year. He is very knowledgeable. Because he spoke out for justice in the court, he was demoted to this remote Yuye Town by Emperor Yuanjia.
Although he was degraded, he never neglected or neglected the students who came to the academy because he loved learning.
The embroidery shop was in the North City, while the place selling grain was in the East City. It took Yu Qingshu about half an hour to get to the door of a shop called "Youyou Grain Shop". Seeing people queuing up in front of him, he hurried to join the queue.
“What is the price of brown rice now?”
Finally it was Yu Qingshu's turn. He saw that the people in front of him didn't buy much, and suddenly he had a bad feeling. So he asked directly.
"Sir, the price of brown rice has increased a little bit now, eight cents a pound, and corn is ten cents a pound. How much do you want?" A handsome young man answered enthusiastically.
“Why has it increased so much?”
Yu Qingshu was a little nervous at this moment. He had originally planned to buy some white rice to nourish his daughter, but now his enthusiasm had dropped by half.
"Sir, you know that it hasn't rained for almost a month. The crops in the fields are not growing much, and these grains are still transported from other places with a lot of manpower and material resources. The price may not be the same tomorrow."
The young man still patiently explained to the customer, wanting to make the deal no matter what.
"Okay, give me half a pound of corn and ten pounds of brown rice." Yu Qingshu gritted his teeth and prepared to spend all the money he had just earned on buying food, but in the end he was left with only two cents.
"Sir, take it. We are honest and fair to everyone. Here are your half pound of corn and ten pounds of brown rice. The total is eighty-five coins!" The young man handed the things to Yu Qingshu and began to receive the guests.
"Okay, thank you!" Yu Qingshu was still very polite and said thank you. Then he walked back home. His wife was still waiting for him, so he had to go back quickly.
His heart is full of his wife, and those who don't know would think they are newlyweds. In fact, it is rare to see a couple of four still so loving.
As I was walking, I suddenly remembered that I had to give my eldest son some food when I passed by his place later.
Yu Qingshu's eldest son, Yu Qinghai, was also in Taipei. After a while, Yu Qingshu walked to a shop called "Dayong Blacksmith Shop".
Yu Qinghai's master is Wu Dayong, who is 40 years old this year. Because of his excellent blacksmithing skills, people from other places also come to learn from him.
Wu Dayong's wife is called Li Cuihua. She has a very loud voice and likes gossip. Yu Qinghai usually stays as far away from this mistress as possible. He really doesn't like people with this kind of personality, like Li Cuihua.
"Qinghai, come out for a moment, someone is looking for you!" Wu Dayong saw Yu Qingshu coming from the opposite side and shouted to the inside of the door.
"Hey, Master, I heard you, come right over!" A young man in a rough cloth shirt, who looked a little thin but still energetic, ran out quickly.
The person who came was Yu Qingshu's eldest son, Yu Qinghai. His dark skin looked red because of working as a blacksmith. It was probably because the temperature was a bit high, the blood flowed faster, and he sweated a lot.
"Dad, why are you here? Is my third sister feeling better?" Yu Qinghai saw that it was his father, and he did not forget to care about his younger sister.
Hearing that his little sister had fallen into a hole, Yu Qinghai was extremely anxious. He had been planning to go back tomorrow, but his father came.
"Dad, is my sister's condition getting worse?" Yu Qinghai saw that his father did not answer, and he was a little anxious, so he asked anxiously.
"What nonsense are you talking about, little brat? Your third sister is awake and fine?" Yu Qingshu looked at his eldest son, looking very disappointed with him, and patted his head.
My son is a relatively calm person, but his personality is totally different from his own. He speaks hastily and is prone to misunderstandings.
"That's good! That's good!" Yu Qinghai laughed, looking at his father who was laughing foolishly.
"Go get a bag and I'll put three pounds of brown rice in it for you. This time I came to town to sell the wild rabbit and the embroidered handkerchief your second sister made, and I used all of it to buy food. The price of food in town has gone up recently, and we can hardly even afford brown rice."
"What? The price has gone up, what should we do?" Yu Qinghai's wife, Li Cuihua, just walked out and heard this.
"Oh, God! Are you going to let me live? I am about to die of thirst or hunger!
