Still didn't know that he was being "missed", Shao Yun'an was just waiting to move. After the beams are installed, the next steps are tiles, floor tiles, and walls. The vacant land specially reserved in the house cannot be transplanted with fruit trees, flowers, vegetables, etc. until the next spring. So at the latest at the beginning of next month, we can move in anyway.
Wang Shijing had to spend a lot of time in the new house every day after he was put on the beam, and Shao Yun'an also had to visit it often. But there is still something to do before that, the goat's milk wine can be unsealed, although Shao Yun'an really wants to keep it for a few more months, but the time can't wait. On the second day after the new house was erected, Wang Shijing went to the county town, bought a carriage and came back. The villagers were numb with envy, so they just wanted to see what rare things Wang Shijing's family could buy.
In the early morning of the third day, Shao Yun'an sent Wang Qing and Wang Ni to Wang Wenhe's home and asked Wang Shuping and his wife to take care of them. Zhao Cong and Wang Yan were also here. Li Zheng's family was busy making sauces, and Shao Yun'an didn't want to cause trouble for them. For Shao Yun'an's initiative to show his affection, Wang Wenhe was not so embarrassed when he saw the two of them. Also because of Shao Yun'an and Wang Shijing's attitudes towards Wang Yan, the attitude of the Wang clan towards the patriarch's family has also changed significantly.
This time, he was going to the county seat for errands, so Shao Yun'an didn't take his two children with him, and the weather was cold. The two filled five small barrels of goat's milk wine, and each of the fourth-class tea leaves was two catties. Regardless of the "small barrels", one barrel contained about 40 catties of wine.
Wang Shijing let Shao Yunan sit in the car, and he drove the car. After leaving the village, Shao Yunan went to the space and found some warm babies, and put them on Wang Shijing's cotton clothes, and he also put two on himself. Wang Shijing was reluctant to use the "modern" things in the space, but Shao Yun'an felt that if they didn't use these things themselves, they would have to bring them into the coffin after death. Some things they can keep the children secret for Wang Qing and Nizi to use, and some things are only known to them.
After posting the warm baby, Wang Shijing didn't feel cold at all, and he even wore cotton gloves on his hands. The carriage ran very fast, even if it bumped Shao Yunan too much, the carriage was not damped, and the road was uneven. If you want to get rich, you have to build roads first, and you have to mention this to Jiang Kangning. The roads in the village should also be repaired.
Finally arrived at the county seat, Wang Shijing took out Jiang Kangning's jade plaque, and told the yamen guards at the city gate that they were delivering something to the county magistrate, and that the carriage could not be stored. The other party saw that he had the county magistrate's jade badge, and immediately issued him a permit document for livestock to enter the city.
Not far from the city gate was crowded with people, Shao Yunan curiously asked the yamen servant: "What's going on over there?"
The yamen servant replied: "Yizhangxuan is giving out porridge. Every year at this time, Yizhangxuan will give out porridge for a month. The shopkeeper and owner of Yizhangxuan are well-known benevolent people in Yongxiu County. Mianwotou."
Shao Yun'an nodded and asked Wang Shijing to continue driving. Shao Yun'an did not comment on the act of giving porridge. Still, he believed that it was better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, and that it was better to give these people a job to make them self-reliant than to make them depend on handouts.
The carriage drove slowly through the crowd, and Shao Yun'an saw a few young refugees beating two beggars not far away. The two beggars were knocked down to the ground, and the two refugees kept tearing their clothes. The two beggars guarded the chest area, which Shao Yunan saw looked like corn bread.
One of the beggars kept shouting: "This cornbread belongs to us! It belongs to us!"
Those young refugees also cursed: "You beggars still want to eat corn bread, hand it over!"
There are refugees on one side and beggars on the other, no one cares. But Shao Yun'an couldn't stand it anymore: "Damn it, you are so young with hands and feet to grab food from beggars. Brother Jing, go and call the yamen servant over there."
Wang Shijing stopped the car, jumped out of the carriage, he didn't call for anyone, but strode over directly, picked up a refugee and punched him. Wang Shijing came out of the pile of dead people, so it was absolutely no problem to deal with a few rogue refugees. Within minutes, those four or five little rogues were lying on the ground, ouch, and two bold ones even yelled that they were injured. , Let Wang Shijing lose money.
Shao Yun'an yelled from the carriage: "Brother Jing, go and call people, and ask the officials to take them to the Yamen. If you dare to rob in the street, they will be exiled!"
"Who are you! Mind your own business!"
Several refugees rushed over from the crowd, noticing the movement here, and two yamen servants responsible for maintaining order also came over. Wang Shijing immediately took out the county magistrate's jade token and gave it to the two yamen servants, and told them that those hooligans snatched the food that the beggars got from Yizhangxuan.
For the people in the county government, the most unstable people in the county are these refugees, who often make troubles. Hearing that it was a jade card from the county magistrate, those refugees who wanted to teach Wang Shijing a lesson were frightened. And those few refugees who rushed out were all driven out of the county seat, and they bluntly said that whoever dared to grab the food that others got was not only driven out of the county seat, but also never allowed to enter the city. None of the refugees dared to speak out. It was cold, and if they could not enter the county, they would die of cold and starvation.
The yamen servants took away the troublemakers, and the two beggars got up tremblingly from the ground. One of them supported the other, and bowed to Shao Yun'an and Wang Shijing to thank him. Shao Yun'an stared at the two of them for a long time, then called out uncertainly, "You two, brother?"
The two men flinched and raised their heads, Wang Shijing said, "Daughter-in-law?"
Shao Yun'an still stared at the two of them, and said, "When I first came to the county, I asked two big beggars about things, and it seemed to be them."
One of the two said in a low voice: "This little brother, you still remember us." They actually recognized it from the beginning, but they didn't dare to speak to him.
Shao Yun'an was startled: "It's really a case!" He immediately turned to Wang Shijing, "Brother Jing, didn't I tell you before, I didn't expect to meet them."
Wang Shijing held his hand: "Don't worry." Then he said to the two men: "Follow me."
Wang Shijing stopped driving, he got out of the car and led the horse away, and Shao Yunan also got out of the car. The two retreated to the side, and Shao Yun'an realized that one of them was lame. The lame man said, "We are dirty. Brother, do you have any questions?"
Shao Yun'an didn't mind taking a step closer to the two of them and said, "Both brothers, I don't think you are very old. My family wants to find someone to work at home. I wonder if you would like to? I had a good talk with the two brothers that day. , I also feel that the two big brothers are not lazy people. I don’t want you to sell yourself, but come to my house to work, I will pay you, and you can leave whenever you want.”
The two froze, stopped, doubting their ears.
Shao Yun'an said it again, and then said: "My husband and I still have things to do. If the two elder brothers are willing, they can wait for me at the place where we met before."
The lame beggar came back to his senses and said, "Thank you, brother, for thinking about it. It's just that my two brothers will cause trouble for you, and I thank you both."
Shao Yun'an blinked: "Get into trouble? Are you wanted criminals of the imperial court?"
The man smiled wryly and shook his head: "No. It's just that we provoked someone in our hometown, and that person is powerful and powerful. Because of this, my brother had to leave his hometown and come here to beg."
"Are you murdering and setting fire or committing crimes?"
"neither."
The beggar who had been hiding behind the lame beggar whispered: "I caused it." When he said this, he touched his face.
Wang Shijing said: "Since they are not, if you are willing to take this job, you can go with us. My family is in the village, and no outsiders will go there on weekdays. If you really cause trouble for my family, it is not too late for you to leave."
The eye sockets of the lame beggar were visibly reddened, and the other started sniffling. Shao Yunan said: "You wait here."
I saw him running into a clothing store across the street. Soon, he came out with a big bag in his arms, and ran over to put the bag on the carriage. He said to Wang Shijing, "Brother Jing, let's go to Yizhangxuan first, and after we settle them, we can go to Big Brother."
"Also."
"Thank you. Thank you! Benedict!" The lame beggar seemed to have fully reacted, pulling the people behind him to kneel, but was stopped by Wang Shijing in time.
"You work for us, we pay you, it's reasonable, it doesn't have to be like this." Wang Shijing said: "My wife and I still have important things to do, I'll settle you down first."
"Thank you. Thank you benefactor."
Two lines of muddy tears flowed down their faces.
Shao Yun'an thought about it: "Brother Jing, why don't you go to elder brother first, it's hard to explain the things in this car to Shopkeeper Xu, so I'll take them there and see how Aunt Si and the others are doing."
Wang Shijing thought about it: "Then go there first." He handed the burden to Shao Yun'an, got in the carriage and left first, Shao Yun'an took the two to Yizhangxuan, turning a blind eye to the side-eyes around him. The lame beggar still said worriedly: "Brother, don't think about it again."
"My name is Shao Yun'an. I'm sixteen this year. You can call me Yun'an. My husband's name is Wang Shijing. He's ten years older than me. Doesn't he have a big brother's name?"
The two glanced at each other, hearing that the other party was really not afraid of them causing trouble, they were extremely moved. The crippled beggar said, "I'm Guo Ziyu, I'm twenty-four this year. This is my brother, Guo Zimu, who is two years older than you."
Shao Yun'an wondered: "I heard that you should have read the book, why did you provoke people to come to be a beggar?"
Guo Ziyu gritted his teeth, Guo Zimu lowered his head and remained silent, Shao Yunan said, "Don't worry about it. My family is in the village, and outsiders don't know how to go there. My family is quite big, so you stay in the house for fear of causing trouble." Just stay and don’t go out.”
Guo Ziyu immediately said: "My brother has to work, how can he hide in the house. Brother also saw it, I have a foot problem, you should stop thinking about it."
Shao Yunan waved his hand: "I also have a lot of work to do at home. You have a foot disease, but it's not like you're paralyzed. It just so happens that my son wants to go to a private school next year, and now he's studying at home. I can't read many words, and there are many Yu doesn’t know how to read at all, if you can read, you can save and teach him.”
Guo Ziyu's eye sockets were moist, he lowered his head and blinked away the moisture in his eyes: "Thank you, thank you."
"You should be destined to be with me. My family is simple and there are no rules. As long as you are sincere, I will treat each other with sincerity."
"Thank you for your kindness, my brothers are only sent by you, Brother Shao."
"You are all older than me, so call me Yun'an, that's what everyone in the village calls me."
Shao Yun'an's straightforwardness moved and comforted the two Guo brothers, but there was still hidden worry in their hearts. Will they really be able to live a peaceful life this time
When I arrived at Yizhangxuan, I saw two rows of long queues near Yizhangxuan. Shao Yun'an saw the signboards of "Roujiamo" and "Chuan Chuan Xiang", and grinned. The business is good. The smell of stewed meat and the soup base of Chuan Chuan Xiang spread far away. Guo Ziyu and Guo Zimu covered their noses, the smell was too craving up. Shao Yun'an saw it. Smiling: "When I go to my house, I'll make it for you to eat, first go to the boss of Yizhangxuan."
The two brothers didn't know why Shao Yun'an brought them to Yizhangxuan. Without disturbing the two families who were busy doing business, Shao Yunan led the two of them through the crowd. When two beggars came over, the crowd dispersed automatically. Yizhangxuan's little second glanced sharply at Shao Yun'an, and immediately ran over: "Mr. Shao, you are here, are you here to see my shopkeeper or to have dinner?" As he spoke, he glanced at the Guo brothers behind Shao Yun'an, He also took another look at the big baggage in his arms.
The "Mr. Shao" shouted, and Shao Yunan said: "I have a private matter with shopkeeper Xu, please trouble me."
"Don't bother, don't bother, my shopkeeper said that Mr. Shao is a distinguished guest of Yizhangxuan, so come in."
Shao Yunan said: "I won't go in now, these two are with me, don't disturb the customers in your shop."
Seeing this, Xiaoer turned around and ran into the restaurant, Shao Yunan said to the two people who were full of doubts: "I have a little friendship with the shopkeeper of Zhangxuan, you can take a good bath with him. There are two bodies in this package. Clothes, change after you wash them."
Brother Guo Yang understood, but the two of them were in a bit of a dilemma. Shao Yunan said: "If you need anything, just tell the shopkeeper Xu, he owes me a favor."
Guo Ziyu squeezed his younger brother's hand: "Everything is up to your arrangement."
Shopkeeper Xu came out quickly, and Shao Yunan went up in two steps and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, I have something to trouble you."
"Brother Shao's matter can't be said to be troublesome. Go in first."
Shao Yun'an didn't move, but told shopkeeper Xu about his troubles, and said, "Brother Jing and I are here to visit the county magistrate today, so I won't go in and sit down. Please tell shopkeeper Xu to find a place for you They cleaned up, and I bought the clothes. I will tell my fourth uncle and the others later, if they don’t find it when they close the stall, they will help me take him back first.”
The Guo brothers felt strange, just now Shao Yunan told Wang Shijing that he was looking for "Big Brother", so why did he say he was going to visit the county magistrate? Remembering that Wang Shijing had taken out the magistrate's jade token when he rescued them before, the two brothers held each other's hands tightly. Could it be that they really met a nobleman this time
When shopkeeper Xu heard that Shao Yunan was going to visit the county magistrate, he immediately said: "Then I won't keep you. But you and Ishii brothers come here rarely, so you must drink a cup of water, wine and tea with me. There are still some things I want to talk to Brother Shao. You discuss."
"Success. Brother Jing and I will come over after we're done, so please trouble shopkeeper Xu."
"Do you still need to be so polite between you and me?"
Shopkeeper Xu immediately called the waiter to come over and asked him to take the Guo brothers to the backyard to wash up. Shao Yun'an thanked Xiao Er for the bag of clothes, and secretly stuffed a piece of silver for him.
"I would also like to trouble shopkeeper Xu to cook a bowl of noodles for each of them. They have been hungry for a long time, so they don't need meat, just noodles in clear soup."
"You can rest assured."
Shao Yun'an said to the Guo brothers again: "You can go at ease."
The Guo brothers bowed to Shao Yun'an to thank each other, and then supported each other to watch Xiao Er go away. Shao Yun'an asked shopkeeper Xu to go to work. He squeezed through the crowd to the side of the Chuanchuanxiang stall, which immediately caused dissatisfaction among the people in line. Uncle Wang, who was busy, raised his head when he heard the sound, and was pleasantly surprised: "Yun'an! Why are you here!"
When he yelled, Fourth Aunt Wang and Wang Xing all looked over, and Wang Zhuanghua's family at the Roujiamo stand next to him was also very pleasantly surprised, and they all shouted: "Yunan (little sister-in-law), why are you here, where is Shijing (brother)?"
Shao Yun'an looked at the stalls of the two, pretending to be envious: "The business is good, look at the queue."
Fourth Aunt Wang laughed from ear to ear: "It's not thanks to you and Ishii."
Shao Yunan said: "Fourth Aunt, I have something to ask you. I have two friends, and I just asked Shopkeeper Xu to take them to take a shower and change clothes. If Brother Jing and I didn't come over before you close the stall, we will help you first. I'll take the two of them back to the village, and I'll stay at your house first. Brother Jing and I are also here to handle errands, and we don't know when we can finish them."
Fourth Aunt Wang immediately said, "Don't worry, just leave it to us. I'll send Xingzi to find shopkeeper Xu later."
Wang Xing continued, "Leave it to me, little sister-in-law."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I won't delay your business, I'll meet Brother Jing."
"Yun'an, wait!" Uncle Yinzi handed over a freshly made Roujiamo, and Shao Yunan said: "No, I'll find you guys to eat again when I go back. , Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, I've found them."
After waving to a few people, Shao Yun'an squeezed through the crowd again, bid farewell to shopkeeper Xu, and left. The night after the two families' stalls opened, the two families came over to express their thanks, and all the ingredients they had prepared were sold out within an hour. The business is good, so Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing are relieved, but they didn't expect the business to be so good. The roujiamo costs 35 renminbi a piece, 2 renminbi a skewer of spices, and 5 to 12 renminbi a skewer of meat. They are not cheap snacks, but people who come to buy them line up in such a long line. It seems that as long as something is worth something, there will always be someone who is willing to spend money to buy it. Shao Yun'an remembered that he saw someone buying more than a dozen meat buns in one go.
The two families are not afraid of hardships. For Shao Yun'an, it would be good to sell for half a day every day, but they get up and work when it is still dark. They come to open in the morning, and they don't close their stalls until the afternoon. Wang Shijing also asked them not to rush to pay back the money they borrowed, and it would not be too late when the funds were fully flowing and there was enough money left.
After temporarily settling Guo Ziyu and Guo Zimu, Shao Yunan went straight to the county government.
