正文 2 第 2 章(第1页/共3页)

到了清溪河畔,柳筝四顾看了看,河岸已有几个姑娘媳妇捶着捣衣杵洗衣了。她就近找块溪石板,挽了袖子裙角,撑开小杌扎坐下,把木桶里的衣裳倒出来,一件一件过水捶洗。

初夏还未被日头烤晒过的溪水还有些冰,不过柳筝习惯早起做豆腐,两手常在水里泡,倒不觉得有什么,边洗边在心里算着账目。

来京城前,她们将家里的八亩薄田和一间豆腐铺子都变卖为银了,只留下一间老屋。一亩地六两三钱银子,铺子地段一般,卖了五十两,除却契税,拢共换了一百两银子。她和姥姥两人十几年来种桑养蚕、做豆腐卖豆腐,还清所有债后拢共攒了八百五十两。一路北上,走了一个半月,因为水土不服,姥姥病到现在,途中吃喝、开药买药,林林总总花费了四五十两。到京城后,挑铺子、买铺子,那铺子不但地段好,还分上下两层,带一个小院子,下面做生意,上面能住人,花了她们三百八十两银子。

这铺子原先是卖瓷碗瓷盆的,倒也干净,柳筝找人里外重新刷了一层粉,简单收拾一番,便打通了一楼前后两间屋,放上磨盘、豆腐架子等一类东西,专用来做豆腐。其后采买锅碗瓢盆、请人打桌椅板凳,糟七糟八不胜枚举,又是四五十两下去。至此还剩下四百七十两。

在吴江县的时候,她们一大碗豆腐脑只卖一文钱,到了京城,柳筝特地往各个街市观察过,卖一文两文三文的都有,因为见对门早食铺卖的那个豆汁儿两文一碗,于是也干脆定价两文一碗。毕竟京城这什么东西都比南边儿贵,连铜板也是。京城用的都是又厚又重的黄钱,七百文就能换一两纹银,她们用的皮钱一千文才能换得一两。她们那米价低,黄豆价更低,到这来都要贵个两三成。

不过好在她们生意不错,每天泡四十斤黄豆,能做出一百七八十斤水豆腐,整整两大桶,基本都能卖完。从二月初开张,到如今五月份,平均一个月要用掉五石豆子,一石八钱银子,成本就是四两银,比从前稍多点。但涨价到两文一碗后,利润就相当可观了,按一天一百碗算,扣除成本和商税,纯利有四十四两。惊喜的是,许是因为京城的豆子都是从北边几个州府进的,那里晴天多雨水少,出的黄豆品质比她们从前买到的都要好,颗粒饱满滚圆,还不容易生霉生芽。

要说有什么弊处么,就是这的气候和苏州府实在相差太大,浸泡豆子的时间、点卤点脑的温度都很不好把控……

还是找人在院子里打口井吧。这不像吴江县桥比路多,出门就是河,现在洗个衣裳都费劲,平时用水还得花钱同人买。费几个钱不算什么,主要是太麻烦,每天光是泡豆子就得用掉至少一缸的水,几个大缸摆在院子里又占地方又碍眼。

小虎说的那个井匠住哪来着……

“柳姑娘,早好呀。”

柳筝回头一看,是同条街上住的何家媳妇。她把东西往旁边挪了挪,何家媳妇在她身旁坐了下来。

“何嫂子早好,善哥儿去学堂了?”

“才去,推了他好久才肯起身。天冷的时候怕冷,天热了又怕热,不知长到几岁才能出息点……”

对岸方才还哗哗不停的水声在柳筝同何家媳妇说话时小了许多,几个年长的妇人不住地拿眼觑着她们。

“我说吧,你们想想,跟何家那个处得好的,能是啥好货色?”

“她俩聊啥呢?”

“俩人做派一样一样的!头不好好梳,手腕子都露在外面,生怕别人瞧不见。何家媳妇你们是知道的,行院人家出身,骨子里的骚媚劲儿!”

“还能聊什么,传授传授怎么靠那本事养活一大家子呗。诶,你们说,她俩会不会换着情郎玩呢?”

“还真保不齐哦!”

“这不该问我们呀,应当问问三娘!三娘,你哥刚才差点为柳娘子当街打你奶了,你晓得不晓得?”

曾三娘埋着头搓洗衣裳,闻言动作一停,抬头瞪了一眼对岸正温声软语说笑着的两人。

刚提起她的妇人见状大笑起来,又道:“你回去问问你哥,柳娘子有没有叫他夜里别宿她那了,去探探何家媳妇的时候?”

曾三娘把手头的衣裳往水里甩动几下涤干净,捞起来用力一拧,水花子噼啪噼啪四散开来,淋在了几个妇人的头上脸上。她把衣裳往桶里一扔,提起就走:“嘴巴放干净点!我们曾家人可做不出那种不干不净的事儿!一个个的管好你们自家男人儿子,别什么屎尿都凑上去咬一口,连带着你们也脏得恶心人,臭死了。”

“嘿,她说我们 『加入书签,方便阅读』
