Even so, in Ye Muyu’s opinion, it was impossible for the Xie family to occupy the entire market. At most, they would only sell it in South Origin Prefecture. In that case, the Xie family might not buy the recipe.
Ye Muyu only took a short time to consider all these.
She quickly expressed her thoughts and asked Chu Heng to help her negotiate the price. As for the price, after she told Chu Heng so much, this man would not make her suffer a loss. She was assured.
In the end, Ye Muyu thought about it and asked if he needed anything. If he needed anything, he could ask Chu Xing to send a message back.
Ye Muyu was not sure if Chu Heng would agree to this.
However, she wrote at the back that if it was not convenient for him to discuss business with Xie Yu, he could come back and tell her, and she would go and talk to Xie Yu personally.
When Ye Muyu finished writing, Chu Ziluo’s eyes lit up. “Mother, you’re so good. You’re so good at writing. I can’t even write properly. It seems like I still need to practice.”
Ye Muyu smiled when she heard that. She looked at the handwriting that she had deliberately written crookedly. Although she had tried her best to write it properly, it was obviously very forced.
Naturally, she had deliberately written them like this.
Being able to write was enough to make Chu Heng suspicious. If she wrote better, she would be insulting the other party’s intelligence if she found an excuse to lie.
Therefore, she decided to write the words smaller and use the wrong posture to hold the pen. The words she wrote looked like those of a beginner.
“Mother secretly learned this in the past and didn’t tell you. Now, you can’t slack off. Although you don’t have to take the exam in the future, you still have to learn to read to avoid being cheated.” Ye Muyu dried the ink on the paper before putting it into the envelope.
“Mother, I understand. I will learn how to read.”
“Yes, I believe you. Go and embroider quickly. Mother will make pickled vegetables and fish for you at noon.”
Ye Muyu only pickled two small jars of vegetables.
Back then, she saw that there were too many cabbages in the field. Even if there were weeds, they could not stop the cabbages from growing. Of course, they were not big. Compared to the cabbages grown by other villagers in the village, the cabbages at home were half the size.
Even so, Ye Muyu did not want to waste it, so he began to plant other vegetables in the field. Moreover, all the vegetables in the field were old cabbages, so she naturally took them back and made them into pickled vegetables.
It had only been pickled for less than 20 days, and now it seemed that the taste was not bad.
Unfortunately, there were no more cabbages at home. If she wanted to eat it in the future, he could only buy it from someone else.
Ye Muyu thought that even in Xingshui Village, the most common vegetables were cabbages and radishes. There was no other way. Cabbage was easy to grow. If it was too old, it could be fed to chickens even if people did not eat it. It was much cheaper than other vegetables.
“Mother, where did you get the fish?” Chu Ziluo asked curiously.
“Mother will go buy it now. You stay at home and do the embroidery. Mother will be back in a while.” Chu Ziluo looked at the embroidery in her hand and resisted the temptation. She nodded and agreed, “Mother, come back early.” “Yes.” After Ye Muyu left, she locked the courtyard door.
Then, she carried the basket and walked to the street beside the bridge in the village.
There was only one street in the village, and they could make a trip in a short while. Ye Muyu did not waste any time and went straight to the fish stall at the end of the bridge.
She bought a grass carp that weighed two catties.
She went into the pharmacy to get the medicine.
“Doctor Lu, I’m here to get the medicine.” Ye Muyu walked in with a basket.
Doctor Lu was free and was picking out some Wild Fan flowers and fruits.
When he saw Ye Muyu, he smiled and said, “Lady Ye? Hurry up and sit down.
I’ll take your pulse right away..”
