The Little Lucky Girl

"Giving gifts doesn't have to be so troublesome. Just follow the customary practice."

"What's the routine?" the other two asked.

"Give me eggs," Ming Youyou said as a matter of course, "In this case, a basket of eggs is the maximum. If you still think it's not enough, then add a bag of brown sugar, and the gift will be sufficient."

Zheng Huan really wanted to tell her that giving gifts to officials' families was different from the interpersonal relationships in their village.

Lu Tai grabbed him and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, we just follow the local customs, let's do it."

They had eggs at home. The chickens they raised themselves had grown up and started laying eggs. Plus the three eggs they won from the bet with Lord Tao, they now had an abundance of eggs every day and had saved quite a few.

As for brown sugar, they can buy it in time at the grocery store on the same day. They can buy several kilograms by copying a book, so they can still afford the money.

The only problem is the choice of person to go out. If Feng Xu is left to continue looking after the house, he will definitely make a fuss.

But Ming Youyou also hopes that Zheng Huan and Lu Tai can go. Everyone has worked hard for many days and it’s time to relax. If it weren’t for Captain Jin’s broken rule...

Feng Xu helped her carry a large bowl of the magical jelly to the gate of the nearby yard. When he saw someone coming out, he ran back quickly.

Yesterday, Miss Zhang came over to learn how to make jelly from her. The two of them practiced a lot and ended up making several large bowls.

As they were afraid that the food would become stale if stored for too long, they gave a lot of it to the familiar families in the village and received a number of gifts in return.

Keep the remaining pot to bribe Captain Jin.

Captain Jin just came back a few days ago. This time he disappeared for a long time. Ming Youyou and the system wondered whether he could finally cross the Daqing Mountain and reach Daqi.

Perhaps it was because her goal had been achieved and she was in a good mood; or perhaps it was because the so-called "magistrate Tao's cordial invitation" that they made up was quite effective. In any case, this time Captain Jin did not make things difficult for her and agreed that the four of them could leave the village together.

Ming Youyou was so happy that she repeatedly promised him that she would bring them some delicious food from the county town.

Captain Jin sneered and asked, "I heard you found the seeds of mosquito repellent grass?"

Ming Youyou was startled and blurted out: "How did you know?"

Captain Jin snorted and said, "Do you think you can really hide your tracks by just finding a remote valley?"

Ming Youyou raised her little finger. She really thought so.

The research institute gave her the seeds half a month ago. She immediately went to find Guo Ren, and the two of them secretly went to a place in the village where no one knew about it.

The place was behind the mountain of their village. There was a relatively hidden entrance, which was covered by wildly growing vines all around and could not be seen by ordinary people.

Guo Ren found out about this when he ran in with his third uncle and their dog when they came to catch rabbits.

Walking in from the entrance, there is a very open space, surrounded by mountains on all sides, which looks very safe.

Ming Youyou was very satisfied with the place and planted the seeds that day.

The seeds looked big and full, but they were useless. I planted 30 seeds, but only less than 10 sprouted.

The young seedlings that have grown are very weak, and they might all be blown away by a strong wind one day.

Only then did she understand why it was so easy to change it at that time. It was really too deceptive.

Captain Jin had probably already sent people to check it out, and he knew how horrible her condition was, so he didn't hold her accountable.

Ming Youyou did not let him down at the critical moment this time. She reacted quickly and immediately assured him that if the flower could really grow up, she would give him priority in supply.

She was very depressed. Captain Jin knew about her secret base and could estimate the approximate output. She was afraid that she would not be able to ask for the high price of two taels of silver per piece in the future.

After dealing with Captain Jin, on the day of the store opening, the four of them happily went into the city carrying a basket of eggs.

The opening of Jinxiufang was very lively. After all, it was the shop of the county magistrate's wife, and the county magistrate came in person to show his support. How could those important figures in the county not come to congratulate them?

Zheng Huan and the other two were a little shocked. For a family like theirs, it was no big deal to open a shop and make money. It would be embarrassing to tell others that they didn't have a few shops to support themselves.

But these shops were tacitly registered in the names of relatives or managers, and they did not dare to openly tell others that they were related to them. After all, they were officials, so they had to pay attention to their reputation.

So what is Lord Tao talking about? Is he really letting himself go because the emperor is far away and the world is high?

The three of them were a little confused, but that didn't stop them from turning around to help Ming Youyou and trying to snatch the candies that the shop owner was distributing to everyone.

"Oh, there are words on this candy." Everyone took the candy in their hands and was surprised for a moment.

The four of them looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes. Their embedded word beans were officially released.

Everyone exclaimed in admiration: "Hey, this is actually the word '囍'. How was it made? It looks very delicate."

"Mine is 'Fa'. Ha, so when we put them together it becomes 'Gong Xi Fa Cai'."

"Then I have to eat my fortune." The man swallowed the candy in his hand.

The shopkeeper took advantage of this fresh atmosphere and invited everyone in.

Jinxiufang is divided into two rooms, the outer room is used to display items, and the inner room is mainly used to receive guests.

Mrs. Tao was greeting several wealthy families' families at this time. She seldom socialized after coming to Yuqing County. These families had a rare opportunity to see her today, so they immediately seized the opportunity to flatter her non-stop.

"Your shop has a really comprehensive range of goods. I saw that the popular goods that were just put on the shelves in the capital city two days ago are already in stock here."

"Not only that, look at the color of this silk and the feel of it, I'm afraid it must have been shipped from the capital."

"You are worthy of being the wife of the county magistrate. This is really a big deal. But it is a blessing for us. We no longer have to travel far to buy things. We can buy the most fashionable things at our doorstep."

"That's right. We don't have to spend money and look at the faces of those people. With your shop, maybe people from the capital will come to visit us in the future."

Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "My husband saw that I had no friends or relatives here and was afraid that I would be bored, so he thought of opening a shop to relieve my boredom. Now we sisters have a place to talk and laugh together over tea."

"My husband said that the shops in this county have been in business for decades, and each has its own ways. We won't compete with them for these. We are just helping the merchants to stock up more goods, or selecting some new and novel things to provide convenience for everyone."

The family members understood that the county magistrate's wife was trying to reassure them that it would not affect their business.
