210. Birthday Ceremony~
The salt problem was solved, and Mrs. He was in good health and it tasted good whenever he ate it.
He Zijin didn't understand why Shen stored 800 kilograms of salt all at once. This would cost hundreds of taels of silver, right? Shen secretly told He Zijin, "How can you know how much the profit of salt is? If you double it, you will be less. I bought affordable salt. The price you produce is given to us. The salt will not break, so I will store more."
He Zijin asked, “Is salt very expensive?”
Shen said, "It is not expensive. Over the years, salt has been lowering its price, but even if it is lowered, it is not as cheap as the average salt."
He Zijin asked her mother how much the 800 kilograms of salt cost. When she heard that price, He Zijin felt that her mother was really making a fortune. Shen said, "Don't yell outside, just know it."
He Zijin said, "You should tell my grandmother. She likes to show off the most."
Shen chuckled, "Don't worry, if you have something big, she will hide it more than anyone else."
He Zijin also laughed at her, and Shen taught her, "You have never been through the troubled times. I heard from your grandmother that in the past, salt was a valuable item, and it cost hundreds of dollars per pound, so where can I afford salt? Now, in the past, fifty dollars per pound, but now it has dropped to thirty dollars. I think that it is probably a peaceful life and the court has money, salt will become cheaper and cheaper. However, salt cannot be stored, and it will not be broken even if it is stored for decades. Our family has free money, just keep it in the cellar. You can eat it at home and use it for pickled vegetables. Now, something is going to happen to the Chen family. Otherwise, I have to store some more."
He Zijin asked, "Mom, will the government let the people keep salt?" Will it be illegal?
Shen laughed, "Selling salt requires a certificate of salt. Our family doesn't sell it. If you save it at home, what kind of method will you violate?"
Shen said again, "Tomorrow is your birthday, and you will change into new clothes."
"Know!"
Mrs. Shen took out a small box from the cabinet. She opened it and took out a red cloth bag. The red cloth bag opened it. She smiled at the butterfly and golden hairpin. Mrs. Shen smiled, "It's the birthday now. It's a big girl. It's time to dress up. You can't go out too clean, just wear it."
As long as it is a woman, there is no one who doesn’t love jewelry.
Although the He family is not bad, there are also mothers and girls at home, so they are definitely a small landlord. But you should know that the landlord has a characteristic: if you can't stand it and you can't starve, you can't compare with the top and the bottom. To describe it in the words of Old Madam He: It's safe!
The benefits of being a landlord are here, it’s safe!
Therefore, although the He family's family has improved in recent years, He Zijin has worn several new clothes a year, and the jewelry is mainly silver jewelry, and gold jewelry, which is only a limited number of two or three pieces. Now her mother is giving her a pair of butterfly and golden hairpins at once. He Zijin's beautiful beauty can't wait for the day of her birthday tomorrow. That afternoon, she put it on the whole yard and was in a yard.
When her father saw her during dinner in the evening, he smiled and said, "It's really a big girl."
He Zijin's birthday is easy to remember, and the dragon raised his head on the second day of February.
On the day when the dragon raises its head, it is customary to eat spring cakes in the morning.
A Nian went over early and gave the birthday gift he prepared for Sister Zijin to Sister Zijin. What A Nian gave to Sister Zijin was a peach wood peace sign. Sister Zijin liked it very much and asked, "Where did you get it?"
A Nian laughed, "I made it myself." This is also a master of handicraftsmanship.
Sister Zijin said, "Wait until I get a call and bring it with me."
A Nian stared at the peace sign and kept blinking and hinting that Sister Zijin was not angry and knocked his big head, "I'm not blind, I've seen it long ago." While engraving a nai and a gall, it was so stingy~ A Nian, the original ancient man, did he get such a stingy belly? At a young age, he is very talented~
When A Nian saw that Sister Zijin understood her feelings, she pulled Sister Zijin's hand and dripped sweetly, "Let's practice boxing together in the morning."
A Nian is a kind of stingy person, such as A Lie, who is greedy. He gave his sister two pounds of newly released egg cakes for birthday gifts. Jiang Ren is simpler. The spring cakes he bought in the morning at the cake shop, just treat them as birthday gifts for Zijin's sister. He was very happy and praised A Lie Jiang Ren, "Okay, good, all are affordable and good children." The egg cakes in Piaoxiangfang are her favorite, spring cakes, etc., which saves the money from the kitchen. Oh, the children are all good at living and respecting her~
He Zijin Momo: People are different from each other, you can’t tell the difference if you don’t compare them. This comparison shows how considerate A Nian is! At least he is giving a normal birthday gift!
After eating spring rolls in the morning, A Liei Jiangren went to the academy to study and do business. A Nian said to Sister Zijin, "Today is Sister Zijin's birthday, I'll accompany Sister Zijin to go out for a walk."
Sister Zijin was quite moved. Although A Nian was two years younger than her, she was barely a handsome little guy in thin bamboo. It was great to go out shopping together. Who knew that Mrs. He was righteous and stern, "A Nian, go and work hard! What are you going to do? You will be in the scholar exam in less than a month. When you come to the scholar exam, you can go shopping every day! Go to study! Fifty taels of silver! We can't be cheaper outsiders!"
A Nian had to go to study.
Old lady He said to He Zijin, "Grow your head white, no matter how heavy it is." When can't you go shopping in the street? Fifty taels of silver are ten acres of high-end land~
Shen discussed with Mrs. He, "I'll ask Mrs. Zhou to kill a chicken, so I'll give it a noodle soup at noon."
Mrs. He took a bite of the egg cake and nodded, "As long as you see, please make arrangements. Use the pine mushrooms to simmer and stew them well. Only then will it taste delicious."
Shen agreed deeply, and He Zijin asked Mrs. He, "I just ate egg cake after eating spring cakes, don't hold on."
Old Madam He said, "Tsk, how can I hold on? Don't I know I'm hungry and full!"
He Zijin immediately smirked, "Hehe, I asked why my grandmother ate two spring cakes in the morning. It turned out that she was eating egg cake with her belly!"
Mrs. He said, "What a girl, she's so talkative." Tsk, she worked hard for her children and grandchildren for most of her life. What's wrong with eating an egg cake! This is the egg cake from Piaoxiangfang that her dear grandson specially honors her!
As she was talking, the third girl came.
Mrs. He asked the third girl to sit down and laughed, "I just got the body, so I have to be careful. Come and eat the egg cake."
"I thought today is Zijin's birthday, so I came here to be lively." The third girl took a piece of egg baking cake and gave He Zijin a small table screen. The table screen was ordinary pine wood, but the middle was a small spring scene with a cat puffing butterfly. It was lively and cute, and it was suitable for girls.
He Zijin liked it very much and hurriedly thanked him, and said, "The third sister is pregnant, so do less needlework, otherwise it will be bad for the eyes."
The third girl laughed, "I have embroidered it before."
Mrs. He said, "It's not an outsider, what birthday gifts are you giving? I don't know where to learn these empty flowers." Oh, why do you think you can give me some stuff to the girl? It's better to have a birthday noodles every year, but why did these unhealthy trends have arisen this year?
Mrs. He was worried about whether to give gifts, so He Zijin put his hands together and hit him, "Then I won't celebrate my grandmother's birthday this year, so we won't prepare gifts."
My mother He has seen all the wind and waves at this age, and can she be fooled by these words? She said casually, "What are you celebrating or not? I always say you don't want to do it. It's your father, that long-winded. If you don't do it, he will be angry for a year. By my birthday, no one is allowed to give gifts, and whoever gives me is anxious." She has decided not to give a girl a birthday gift. As for her birthday, hum, my son is filial to himself, even if she doesn't want it, her son wants to be filial to him~
At noon, everyone ate chicken soup and vegetable noodles. When A Lie, Jiangren and Hu Wen came back in the evening, they changed the duck soup noodles. Mrs. He only ate a small bowl and stopped eating it. He Gong was worried, "Does your mother have a discomfort?"
Mrs. He waved her hand, "I'm worried. Didn't the girl keep saying that she should eat less at night?"
He Zijin explained to her father, "Grandmother ate two kilograms of egg cake a day. She was so lucky that she didn't have enough appetite."
He Gong spoke speechlessly, "You should still need to use dim sum or something."
Mrs. He immediately retorted, "You heard the girl's nonsense, it was obviously a piece of egg cake that you could eat together."
Hu Wen and the third girl were still laughing on the way home, "Grandma Aunt loves eating egg cakes so much."
The third girl was also happy, "I also liked the millet flour cake."
After dinner in the evening, Mrs. He had nothing to do when she was free and peeled peanuts with Madam Yu, and she would cook cold dishes tomorrow. Mrs. He and He Zijin were in the compartment, peeling peanuts, glanced out, and said, "The girl is not sleeping yet." The lights are still on.
Madam Yu whispered, "Where is the birthday gift for the eldest girl?"
When he heard the girl's film counting the birthday gift, Old Niang He's eyes rolled and said, "I won't peel peanuts today, let's go to bed earlier."
Madam Yu is Mrs. He’s close confidant. How could she not know what her master was thinking and asked Mrs. He, “Don’t you give the eldest girl a birthday gift or something?” A Nian bought two kilograms of egg cake for her sister.
Mrs. He said, "Don't you get all those many things."
When Mrs. He was about to rest, she heard footsteps outside. Then He Zijin shouted, "Grandma."
As soon as Mrs. He pushed the peanut basket, his cheeks bulged, and suddenly blew out the candle in one breath, yawned, "I'm going to sleep now, I'm talking about something."
He Zijin was ready, so he took out the fire broker and focused the candles, and looked at the peanut basket beside He's wife with a smile, "This matter is very important, I must say it today. I'm afraid I won't say it today, I'll say it tomorrow, grandma, you regret it."
Mrs. He pulled back the bamboo basket containing peanuts and responded reluctantly, "What's the matter? It's just right to come here, peel peanuts and make cold dishes tomorrow."
He Zijin held the golden hairpin between his temples and sat by his side and said, "I don't do any work today, so I'm resting."
"Oh, you've made great contributions to your birthday." Under the candlelight, the golden hairpin on the girl's head was shining brightly. Old lady He reminded, "Wear gold on her head, you have to be careful when you go out, touch it from time to time, don't fall off."
He Zijin said, "It won't fall off, but grandmother, don't you feel anything when you see my golden hairpin?"
"What do you think?" He glanced at the golden hairpin on the girl's head, and Old Madam He pretended to be stupid.
He Zijin is also very good at pretending to be stupid and reminds Mrs. He, "My mother gives me a gold hairpin, and my father gives me a gold hairpin. Don't you think about it?"
Old Madam He pretended to be stupid and had a profound skill and said, "Didn't you tell me to wear it well?"
He Zijin said, "I have to wear it very well. From now on, we will be as quiet as a gentleman."
"There are some water, so when you are thirsty, go and drink it." Old Madam He peeled peanuts.
He Zijin leaned over and peeled it together, and said, "I have a plan, my grandmother wants to know."
"What are the plans?"
"I'm having my birthday today, and tomorrow I'll tell my father that I'm old and I have to learn to manage my own industry. I won't bother my grandmother." Old Madam He suddenly felt that he had cut his flesh and could hardly get up in one breath. He continued to listen to his own dead girl's film, "Also, Master Chaoyun will give me any silk, satin and material in the future, so he won't have to keep it for me. I'll save it for my mother. Grandma, what do you think?"
The old lady He looked dark. She was also a decisive person. She immediately raised her voice and called Madam Yu, "Hurry up, find out my big gold ring!" After Madam Yu took the small red cloth bag with a gold ring, she immediately took it out and put her finger on the girl's movie. She touched the little fat girl and said, "Hey! This is not an ordinary gold ring! Your great-grandmother passed it to me back then, and pointed it out that I wanted to pass it to my granddaughter! Tell, how can the granddaughter be better than my granddaughter? I can't pass it to the second person! Look, this quality, this weight, this style, this light! Oh, my silly girl, have you ever seen such a good golden ring in this life?"
He Zijin said, "I haven't seen it before."
"You can open your eyes!"
He Zijin raised his fat and bulging fingers, looked at the thin circle on his hand, and asked, "Isn't this just a simple gold ring?" There is a lot of weight, not a single ounce of weight, nor a strange style, not even a variety of styles!
Mrs. He tsk, "Don't be ungrateful! Even if you give you a piece of gold brick, it's not as good as this treasure passed down from your ancestors. I tell you, this is brought by my ancestors, and I will bless you with the blessing of my ancestors. I've done it earlier, and I won't even give it to your mother, so I'll give it to you!"
He Zijin accepted it just so well and said to He Lao Niang, "The gold bricks will be remembered next year."
My mother He just gave me a gold ring and was so distressed that she heard He Zijin pick up the gold bricks. My mother He was red when she heard it and was angry, "Remember it! I'll give you my life! Or?!"
He Zijin put the golden ring in his arms and prepared to tie a chain to the neck tomorrow, saying, "Okay, okay, that's it, you're so furious. When I get rich in the future, I'll give you a golden pillow and ask you to sleep on the golden pillow every day. Is it okay?"
Even if it’s a golden pillow, Mrs. He likes to listen to it. Mrs. He smiled and said, “Sure! Why can’t someone give me a golden pillow? I’ll record the golden pillow!”
