The work in the field was basically finished, and the rest was watered and weeded on time, and Tang Genshu snatched it. When the field was being reorganized, Wang Shijing dug a canal and brought down the mountain spring from the west mountain. Whether it was a mountainous area or a dry field, it was convenient to water, and there was no need to carry water specially. The new house was built under the supervision of Uncle Zhou and Father Wang. Every day is changing. In a blink of an eye, it is the end of October, and in half a month at most, the new house will be capped. Wang Shijing went to the new house every day to check it out, and made changes in time if necessary. Other times, he would either stay at home with Shao Yunan and his children, or go to the mountains.
After all the houses were built, Wang Shijing went to Lizheng to buy the mountain that was closest to his home in Xishan. The story of Sun's family making chrysanthemum tea also spread, and Lizheng, as the patriarch of the Zhao clan, also called the people to start a tea ceremony. After a while, Sun's chrysanthemum tea and Zhao's jam became a business among the clansmen. Yizhangxuan is waiting for the red date sauce and hawthorn sauce from Lizheng’s family in winter, and Yongningtang has made a lot of money from Sun’s chrysanthemum tea. Unfortunately, the last crop of wild chrysanthemums has bloomed, and the chrysanthemum tea is facing out of stock. Yongningtang Shopkeeper Feng, don't worry too much.
Sun's chrysanthemum tea was also sold by Shao Yunan. At the final settlement, in addition to the other 100 taels of money for the prescription to Shao Yunan, an additional 120 taels of interest was also settled. Patriarch Sun and Li Zheng each put 60 taels of silver into the common use of the clan. They will buy a few acres of clan land in the spring of next year. In the future, the profits from the clan's production, chrysanthemum tea and jam will also be used for some of the clan's children to study. , and reward children who read well. The news came out wave after wave, and the whole village exploded again. The clansmen of the Sun and Zhao clans were very happy, and the clansmen with children went to Wang Shijing's house to thank them with their things. If Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an were not so generous, their children would not know when they would be able to study!
Tang Gensheng, who was in the first batch of sponsorship list, was brought by his brother Tang Genshu and kowtowed three times to Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan as soon as he entered the door. The two brothers already knew from Lizheng that Wang Shijing had specially mentioned it, so Lizheng was willing to give it to him. Tang Gensheng has a chance. Tang Genshu’s current monthly income is enough to pay for Tang Gensheng’s education. When Tang Gensheng can go to a private school, and with the support from the Zhao family and the Sun family, Tang Genshu can fully afford his younger brother’s Shu Xiu, which is brought by Wang Shijing’s family. Their.
Those of the two races who failed to participate in the business were naturally unhappy, but who told them that their character was not good enough? There are patriarchs, clan elders and most of the clansmen oppressing them, and there is nothing they can do if they are unhappy, but their children can still get support from Shuxiu in the clan to go to private schools, so they are not completely excluded. If the trouble is not good, not only will there be no money to get it, but all the bundle repairs will have to be paid by yourself. Of course, this support is not without time limit, and the specific details are not for Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing to worry about.
The Sun family and the Zhao family were happy, but the Wang family was extremely depressed. Why Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an would rather sell the prescription to the Zhao family and the Sun family than to their own family, everyone knows the reason. Among other things, as far as Mrs. Wang's family is concerned, Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an are not willing, let alone Wang Dafu's family did such a thing. This time, the Wang family is completely implicated by Mrs. Wang and Wang Dafu's family Now, there are not a few people who scold the two families openly and secretly, and there are also people who are dissatisfied with Wang Wen and the patriarch. If the patriarch did not do a good job, he would not be able to suppress Mrs. Wang's family and Wang Dafu's family. Eating meat with the Sun family, they can't even drink soup
Wang Wenhe's heart was depressed, Wang Shuping couldn't help it, he was also sad, but he couldn't go to Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an, the old lady Wang was still angry after being scolded. That was her own son, and if there was a way to make money, he would not give it to her as a mother, and gave it all to outsiders. But Mrs. Wang couldn't come to the house to make trouble, and Wang Zhisong didn't allow her to go. After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang pushed out Wang Dali and Wang Chunxiu. Wang Chunxiu was absolutely unwilling, but Mrs. Wang said that if she could get the prescription, her future dowry would not be much? Wang Chunxiu was moved again.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Wang's calculation is doomed to fail. As soon as Wang Dali and Wang Chunxiu stepped into the gate of Wang Shijing's house, Shao Yun'an said, "Wang Chunxiu, are you really planning to seduce me?"
Wang Chunxiu groaned, turned her head and ran away covering her eyelids, Wang Dali's face flushed instantly, not sure if it was from anger or embarrassment. Shao Yun'an drove Wang Shijing back to the house arbitrarily, and asked Wang Dali directly: "What are you doing?"
Without Wang Chunxiu by his side, Wang Dali faltered for a long time and couldn't say a word. Shao Yun'an showed a sarcasm smile: "My father-in-law, if there is a wedding or funeral at home, you just come, and our family will give you the due courtesy. If you have nothing else to do, don't come to the door. It is written in the contract Clearly, my mother-in-law and you also have fingerprints. If you are illiterate, you can ask Wang Zhisong to read it to you later. This person can’t talk like farting, you say yes. After the agreement, from now on two Family has nothing to do with it. Whether you live well or not is your own family's business. You said that you have nothing important to do and why do you come to my house with your daughter? Those who didn't know thought you wanted me to reconcile with Brother Jing and marry you Where's the girl?"
This time Wang Dali was so ashamed that he couldn't speak anymore, he turned around and walked away unsteadily. Shao Yun'an closed the door coldly, turned around and fell into a generous embrace.
"Don't talk nonsense. After being heard, people thought you wanted to make up with me and marry a woman."
"Pfft!" Shao Yun'an raised his head from the man's tight embrace, "Brother Jing, I didn't expect you to be quite open. I've been like you, do you still think I can be like a woman again?"
Wang Shijing's one eye is shining.
"Or is it that Brother Jing doesn't mind marrying a woman as a wife in the future?"
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm your only daughter-in-law!"
Wang Shijing got angry, bent over to pick up Shao Yun'an and walked into the house, and slapped him on the buttocks moderately. Wang Qing and Wang Ni sensibly hid back in the house so as not to disturb the two fathers making out.
The two of them soon became disheveled in their clothes, and they were not at all ashamed to proclaim adultery in the daytime. They were passionate, when someone knocked on the door outside: "Excuse me, is this the home of Brother Wang Shijing?"
"Looking for you."
Shao Yun'an pushed Wang Shijing, who was breathing heavily, and Wang Shijing's eyes were shining with impatience: "Who is it!" He reluctantly pulled up his pants.
"Excuse me, is this the home of Brother Wang Shijing?" The other party tapped the door twice.
Wang Qing came out of the house: "Father, someone is looking for you."
"Come on now, you go and open the door."
Wang Qing ran to open the courtyard door, and saw a strange uncle standing outside. He was definitely not from the village, not to mention that there was a carriage behind him!
The visitor looked at Wang Qing kindly: "Little boy, does Wang Shijing belong to this family?"
Wang Qing nodded, but didn't let anyone come in: "My father is busy, he will come out later."
"I'm Shopkeeper Xu from Yizhangxuan. I'm here to talk to your father and your younger father about something. Are they all at home?"
"Well, they're all here." Wang Qing turned his head, hoping that his father and younger father would come out quickly.
The closed door opened, and Wang Shijing came out first. As soon as he saw him, shopkeeper Xu's eyes lit up: "Brother Shijing." This jumped directly from "Brother Wang" to "Brother Shijing".
"Master Xu."
Wang Qing got out of the way, and shopkeeper Xu came out with big strides.
"Brother Qing, go make a cup of chrysanthemum tea."
Wang Qing ran into the kitchen to make tea, Wang Shijing took shopkeeper Xu into Wang Qing and Wang Ni's room, and said, "Nizi, call me Uncle Xu."
"Hello, Uncle Xu."
Wang Ni was not as timid as before, she called someone, she sensiblely put away her and her brother's books on the table, Wang Shijing put away the pen and ink, and said, "Yun'an will be here in a while." Not to mention what happened to Shao Yun'an.
Shopkeeper Xu didn't ask any further questions. He looked around the shabby house and asked with a smile, "I heard that Brother Shijing and Brother Shao are building a new house. When will they move in?"
"It's estimated to be the end of November, shopkeeper Xu will sit."
Shopkeeper Xu got on the kang, crossed his legs, and took a few extra glances at the unique tea set placed above the mahogany box on the top of the kang.
Wang Qing came in, holding two bowls of chrysanthemum tea on a tray. Wang Shijing asked Wang Qing to call someone, took the tea bowl, and put one down in front of shopkeeper Xu. Wang Qing went out and closed the door.
Shopkeeper Xu picked up the white porcelain tea bowl, took a sip, put down the tea bowl and said, "The Yongning Tang on this chrysanthemum tea set is selling well, but the taste of Brother Ishii's is even better."
Wang Shijing said generously: "Yun'an likes to think about these things, and he makes all the chrysanthemum tea at home by himself."
At this time, someone opened the door and came in. It was Shao Yun'an who was dressed neatly and used Lingquan water to eliminate the redness and swelling of his lips. He came in and said embarrassedly: "I kept shopkeeper Xu waiting for a long time."
"Soon, not long." Shopkeeper Xu's smile deepened, "Brother Shao, I'm here on business."
"Ha. You are so busy, you won't go to my Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do."
Shopkeeper Xu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Brother Shao always says something amazing."
Shao Yun went to the kang and asked, "What's the matter with Shopkeeper Xu?"
Shopkeeper Xu put away his smile and pointed to the tea bowl in front of him: "What Xu came here for is this chrysanthemum tea."
"Ah? What's wrong with the chrysanthemum tea?" Shao Yun was confused. Of course, he was also a little puzzled about the reason for the shopkeeper Xu's visit.
Shopkeeper Xu said straight to the point: "That Yongningtang is not my boss's shop. Now Yongningtang's chrysanthemum tea has been sold in Chinan Prefecture. It is hard to find a catty. My boss is very anxious. I know that this chrysanthemum tea is also from Brother Shao. Hand, if my boss is not in the capital and it is inconvenient to come, he will definitely come to see Brother Shao in person, so I must ask Brother Shao for help."
Shao Yun'an was in a dilemma for a moment: "Master Xu, this chrysanthemum tea is not because I didn't expect you. Whether it's jam or chrysanthemum tea, the reason why I sell it is because my family is too small to be busy; second, it's for my family. If you can settle down in the village as soon as possible, you also know the situation of my family. The family is unreliable. Brother Jing and I can only help Uncle Yu Lizheng and Patriarch Sun. After I sold this chrysanthemum tea recipe to Patriarch Sun, the family has already I have found Yongningtang. Grandpa Sun has a good relationship with the shopkeeper of Yongningtang, and the two sides have always exchanged medicinal materials. It would be really bad for me to intervene."
Shopkeeper Xu said: "I know that the Sun family and the owner of Yongningtang have friendship, but I don't know if the contract between the Sun family and Yongningtang states that this chrysanthemum tea can only be sold to Yongningtang?"
Shao Yun'an shook his head: "I never asked about this. How about I ask Brother Jing to call the Patriarch Sun over, and you tell him face to face? If it doesn't work, let's think of a way. It's really inconvenient for me to intervene in this matter."
Shopkeeper Xu immediately said, "Then I will trouble Brother Ishii."
Wang Shijing went to look for Patriarch Sun, and shopkeeper Xu asked: "Brother Shao, the Zhao family has received red dates and hawthorns but has not made them. Is there any dissatisfaction with the purchase price of Yizhangxuan? If it is difficult to ask, you don't have to. Just say what you want.”
Shao Yun'an smiled and said: "Master Xu is overthinking. The red dates are dried and made to taste sweeter and more delicious. Hawthorns can be stored for a longer time. The busy farming has just ended, and Uncle Lizheng's house has just breathed a sigh of relief. Shopkeeper Xu Selling jam must also hope that the price can be sold at a high price, right?"
"nature."
"Is there any fresh fruit to eat during the Chinese New Year?"
"Naturally."
"This jujube is a warming and nourishing thing. It's cold and cold. A cup of jujube water will warm your heart. If you add some ginger, it will also have the effect of warming the palace for women. Hawthorn is sour and sweet. What's good in winter?" For dessert, this hawthorn sauce can not only be eaten alone, but also can be made into sweet soup. The shopkeeper Xu will wait a little longer, and then throw this gimmick out. The price will be more than double that of goat's milk jam and peach jam. If we sell it now, Shopkeeper Xu will earn less, and Uncle Lizheng and the others will also earn less, so rare things are more expensive, right?"
Shopkeeper Xu's eyes became brighter the more he listened, and he patted the table: "Brother Shao, Brother Shao, it's really a shame that you don't do business."
Shao Yun'an said with a smile: "If I don't do business, won't shopkeeper Xu lose one competitor? I have such a friendship with shopkeeper Xu, it's a pity to be a rival. I just want to guard my mountain and land .”
"Brother Shao is modest and humble." Shopkeeper Xu laughed heartily, but he knew Shao Yun'an a little more in his heart. It seemed that he still thought of this person simply.
Shao Yun'an restrained his smile a little, and said: "My little brother also has something that I want to tell shopkeeper Xu. My brother Jing has two relatives, both of whom are very good people. The busy farming season is over, and they also want to start a small business. Earn some money. I want to ask, can they set up a small stall at the entrance of Yizhangxuan, make some rare snacks, and take advantage of the traffic of Yizhangxuan."
Shopkeeper Xu asked: "What kind of snack?"
"Shopkeeper Xu must have never eaten it. When it's ready, I'll ask them to deliver a copy to Yizhangxuan."
"That's good. Whether it's rare or not, Brother Shao, if you are willing to speak, you can trust me, Xu, and you don't need to set up a stall at the door, just put it in my Yizhang Pavilion, and you only need to pay a little rent every month, no more than one tael of silver." .”
Shao Yun'an smiled and said, "I'll talk about the rent later. Why don't shopkeeper Xu see how the snacks are, and if he thinks it's good, the two sides can cooperate. Brother Jing's two relatives belong to the Wang family. If you don't miss them If I can do this business alone, I won't bother Shopkeeper Xu. Shopkeeper Xu will stay at my house for dinner at noon. I will make some special dishes. If you think the taste is good, I will give you the recipe, and you can also give me some Zhangxuan adds a dish."
Shopkeeper Xu was overjoyed: "Brother Shao, Brother Shao, if I don't come today, I won't be able to match your skills. If it's really good, I don't want you to give me this recipe, I'll buy it."
Shao Yun'an waved his hand indifferently: "If I try to make money for everything, I will die of exhaustion. This life will lose its fun. I like to make money, but I also have to learn to enjoy life. Humans can't do that." Slave of money, I won’t sell a few recipes for money, I will treat you as a friend if I give it to you, and you will keep it. If I trouble you in the future, will you still ask me for money? "
"Haha, Brother Shao is righteous! If you are not a slave to money, only Brother Shao can say such a thing." Shopkeeper Xu was very happy, and regardless of whether the chrysanthemum tea can be negotiated or not, with his ability, the recipe The son must be worth a lot of money. His trip was not in vain, and shopkeeper Xu has become more determined to make friends with Shao Yunan. He himself appreciates Shao Yunan even more, and he will definitely tell the big boss about it.
