Chapter 9
The Ning family’s house is an ancestral property and was returned after the exercise, so they are a detached house.
But not everyone on this street can live so spaciously.
Like Wang Jinying's family, although they live directly opposite the Ning family, it is a small courtyard. A total of four people lived in the yard with their family.
Last night she brought back a bowl of water like a baby from the Ning family, and everyone in the yard saw it.
This morning today, seeing her go and ask for a pot again, which inevitably aroused everyone's curiosity.
So as soon as she went back to the yard, the neighbor who was washing in front of the water pipe curiously began to inquire.
Naturally, Wang Jinying would not give up such an opportunity, boasting that herbal tea is nothing in the sky.
Wang Jinying is a famous person on the street who speaks sharply. She may give a discount if she says something.
But when Master Liu came out of the house, he opened his mouth and asked, "Is the herbal tea coming?" The
neighbors were surprised.
Master Liu is a few words, and if he doesn't take the initiative to talk to him, he can stay silent for a day.
I want herbal tea for one mouthful—obviously, this tea is indeed useful.
What's more, Master Ning is also very prestigious in the hearts of neighbors.
Who doesn't know that he is capable, intelligent and visionary?
A poor country child can rely on his own ability to purchase such an industry for himself in his twenties. Isn't he a capable person?
But not only that, people's minds are still so clear.
Handing over the restaurant can keep the family safe in such a sport. This is not a good brain, big courage, who can do it for ordinary people?
Therefore, when everyone talked about Master Ning, apart from sighing that his life was not good, he also recognized his vision ability.
Since this is what Master Ning specially asked for for his precious daughter, it must be excellent.
So, when Ning Xin didn't know, the news spread one after another, and almost everyone in the street knew it.
A bowl of herbal tea costs five cents, although it is about to catch up with the price of a bottle of soda, but it is not impossible for ordinary families to get it.
People willing to try it out followed one after another.
When Mrs. Ning returned from shopping, she almost thought she had entered the wrong house.
As soon as I turned the screen wall, I saw that there were several small benches placed under the grape trellis in her small courtyard, and adults and children gathered around.
Almost everyone holds a bowl or cup with their herbal tea in their hands.
Everyone was drinking and chatting with each other, and the children were playing around them, making it as if they were having a tea party.
Mrs. Ning is a little confused, don't know what the situation is?
She walked two steps quickly, wanting to go over and see what was going on.
Then I saw my granddaughter walking out of the kitchen holding the big enamel jar at home.
Seeing her, the granddaughter seemed to have seen a savior, and eagerly shouted: "Grandma, you are back!" Her
eyes were like a small animal that saw her relatives.
Old lady Ning hurriedly walked over and asked quietly, "Xiaoxin, what are you doing?" Ning Xin
didn't have time to explain to her grandma, so she could only quickly say: "Milk, go to Aunt Wang's house and help me pick some. When the jasmine and mint leaves came back, our family made me bald. I'll talk to you about other things slowly when you come back." As
she said, she walked quickly to the long table under the eaves of the house. The few people who waited with the empty bowl over there apologized and said: "Sister-in-law, I have kept you waiting. This water is a bit hot. Put the bowl on the table and wait. Let it cool before drinking."
Ning Xin said. , Using a spoon to scoop the water in the porcelain jar one by one into the bowl that the few people handed over.
After those people took the bowl, they naturally took out the money from their pockets and put them in a paper box on the table.
Even without
Ning Xin's hands, they would automatically find change in it... I was shocked to see the old lady Ning!
She walked out of the house in a daze, preparing to ask for mint leaves.
But before he walked a few steps, Wang Jinying had already walked out of the yard opposite, carrying the washed flowers and leaves in a basin.
Just walked across from her.
Seeing the old lady like this, Wang Jinying showed a clear expression.
She hurriedly leaned in and said, "Auntie, don't you worry? Don't worry, I'll tell you..." After
Wang Jinying told me about the morning, the old lady finally understood what was going on at home.
Because her son had opened a restaurant before, she was not as repulsive to doing business like most people in this era.
But -
"Her aunt, Xiao Xin will be fine if she does this? Her father handed over the store and the accumulated belongings. Now Xiao Xin is in business again... My second child is just this girl, so she doesn't dare What's the matter!"
"Don't worry, Auntie, Xiaoxin is not doing this often. She is currently recovering from injuries at home, temporarily. Besides, she will sell water. Saying that it is for sale is actually not for the welfare of the neighbors. A
big bowl of tea outside sells for three cents! Xiaoxin’s herbal tea contains such expensive Chinese medicines, which only sells for five cents. Where does she make money? It’s nothing more than a cost.
If anyone here says, our neighbor All of us can testify to her!" The
old man was relieved by the words.
After the jasmine and mint leaves sent by Wang Jinying were sold in water, Ning Xin ended the morning business.
After she and the old lady repeatedly promised to continue tomorrow, the neighbors waiting in the courtyard reluctantly left.
Actually speaking, Ning Xin really prepared a lot of things today, after all, she took away several pots of jasmine at home.
It is estimated that the Wang family was also bald.
But the key is that Lingquan water, the more you use it for the first time, the more immediate the effect will be.
Even though Ning Xin had reduced the dosage, the neighbors who had drank it immediately felt the difference in their bodies.
Especially those children, as long as they can talk, almost everyone will tell the adults that they feel comfortable after drinking, crying and clamoring to drink a second cup.
Those who bought it specially for the elderly in the family, after taking them back to the elderly to drink, all expressed that they were happy in their hearts.
This caused the neighbors who were originally to join in the fun and buy a cup to try. In the end, almost every family ran over with the bowl and the pot, and every purchase was a few cents.
Even if they knew that Ning Xin was too busy, they would rather sit in the yard and line up, and none of them would retreat.
Everyone knew in their hearts that the secret medicine of the Ning family was bought by Master Ning when he was there.
Now Master Ning is gone, and if the medicine runs out, Ning Xin can't find the old Chinese doctor, and whether there is any tea in the future will be the same.
In this case, it must be at ease while there are still a few more drinks.
Sending away the last sister-in-law who came to buy tea, Ning Xin directly lay down on the bamboo bed in the yard, leaning back and forth, with no demeanor.
She was so tired today, she didn't even want to move her fingers at the moment.
There were too many people just now, and there were not enough stools in the house, so even the bamboo bed Ning's father used to lie on was turned over and placed under the courtyard wall.
Although Ning Xin felt that it was a bit unsightly just lying down, she didn't want to move at all.
Seeing her granddaughter like this, Mrs. Ning felt very distressed.
She stretched out her hand and patted Ning Xin's body comfortingly, and said, "You take a rest and grandma will cook. If you want to sleep, go to sleep. There are trees here to shade and not sun."
Ning Xin nodded, only to have time to say something in a daze: "Grandma, just do anything, don't toss, you are tired too."
Then she went to sleep and didn't know anything.
She woke up again because she felt someone approaching, so a Ji Ling opened her eyes.
Then I saw Ning Yi was cautiously holding a towel and being put on her body.
"Brother, you are back." Ning Xin rubbed her eyes and sat up.
Seeing her doing this, Ning Yi felt distressed: "Did I wake you up?"
"No." Ning Xin smiled and rubbed her stomach: "I'm hungry." She
got up at five o'clock in the morning . , And then only ate a bowl of porridge until noon.
Even Ning Yi is back now. It's twelve o'clock no matter how hungry.
"Then go and eat! Grandma made noodles, and also specially cooked tomatoes and eggs for you, your favorite since childhood." Ning Yi said quickly.
Seeing Ning Xin coming in, the old lady quickly filled her with a large bowl of hand-rolled noodles soaked in cold water, and scooped a spoonful of egg gravy for her.
It may be because of being extremely hungry. Ning Xin didn't dislike her grandma at all this time, she was reluctant to put the oil, she just thought it was super delicious.
Seeing that she had eaten a bowl of noodles, the old lady showed a relieved expression.
Because the old lady pays special attention to raw soup and raw food, Ning Xin drank a small bowl of noodle soup specially for her, and finally asked, "Grandma, what about the money we collected today?"
"Put it in your house ." Xiao Yi, go, go and get the paper box on your sister's table." When
Ning Yi came back today, she heard her grandma talk about her sister selling herbal tea. At the moment, he was very curious about how much money he charged.
Hearing what grandma said, he promised and ran fast, and took the carton over in a few minutes.
The current banknotes are all small in denominations, and there are still many coins of one cent and two cents.
Therefore, regardless of the five-cent bowl of herbal tea, when the money in the box is poured on the table, the scene looks very impressive.
Especially the pile of paper tickets looks like a hill.
Both Ning Yi and the old lady looked straight.
"This... did you sell it this morning?" Ning Yi's tone was erratic, and he looked completely unbelievable.
The old lady was so surprised that she couldn't speak at all.
Ning Xin still knows how much money she collected, after all, she scooped out the cup.
She didn't reply to her brother's words, but gathered the coins and pushed them towards him: "Don't be dazed
, just count how much money." "Oh, good!"
Ning Yi suddenly got excited when she heard the money count. , His eyes lit up.
The old lady also reacted and moved the stool and sat between her grandson and granddaughter.
