Chunyuzhen didn't go back to Nong'an with Shen Ruolan, he just came here to explain his current situation to Shen Ruolan, re-established the relationship between the two, and left in a hurry.
There are still some matters in Jizhou that he needs to deal with personally, so he has to go first, only with Shen Ruolan here, with his bodyguards protecting him, there will be no problem.
For the next 20 days or so, Shen Ruolan spent time with her family on the road. During this period, she slowly told her parents about Chunyu Xun, lest Chunyu Xun come to the door and scare them.
When Shen Dejian and Mu family heard that Chunyuzhen had even given up the throne for Shen Ruolan, they were deeply moved, and they naturally accepted this future son-in-law 100%.
Seeing that her parents were so open-minded, Shen Ruolan was very happy. She was worried that they would not accept a son-in-law of such a high background as Chunyuzhen, but she did not expect that they would accept it without hesitation, so she had nothing to worry about.
The family was walking from the capital to Nong'an, and they were no longer in the panic they had when they came here. The person they were afraid of was dead, so they no longer had to worry about it.
So along the way, I looked relaxed, as if I was out to play, and I stopped and stopped, which was very pleasant.
In fact, it is already mid-to-late October, and the crops in the field have all been harvested. Wherever you look, you can see either the harvested crops or the withered mountains and woods. The Shen family was in a good mood, because there was no psychological pressure when they came, even facing the bleak autumn wind and the yellow grass, the family watched with great interest.
After traveling like this for more than 20 days, it was not until the beginning of November that the family arrived at the mountain village in Nong'an County.
Before entering the village, Shen Ruolan told Chunyuzhen's people not to follow them openly, lest the people in the village gossip, if they dare not disobey the master's order, let them follow in a covert manner, and wait until she thinks of a good way to go Let them come out in the open.
These guards are all from hidden guards, and they are best at invisibility. As soon as Shen Ruolan said something, these people immediately dispersed and disappeared without a trace, but she could already feel that they were just hiding, not real. Leave, if she is in danger, they will definitely show up as soon as possible.
After finishing off the hidden guards, Shen Ruolan's family returned home happily.
Zhaodi, Lingdi and Daidi saw that everyone had come back safely, and they were so happy to be able to refill their quota. They almost cried. Shouya, Grandma Dong, Dong'er, etc. all paid homage to Mrs. Mu, and also met with Zhu'er and Ju'er. We have met, everyone is easy-going, and we get to know each other very quickly.
After chatting for a while, Shen Ruolan personally took Mu Shi and Zhu'erju'er to visit their new home. They saw the back garden from the front garden, and went in from the front to see the back. They saw everything inside and outside the house. After reading it all over, I am very satisfied.
Although it is not as refined and luxurious as the home in Jizhou, it is not bad. It has everything you need, and it is much more spacious than the home in Jizhou. Standing in the yard, you can see the endless back mountain, with a wide view. The air is also much better than in Jizhou. Zhu'er and Ju'er fell in love with this home as soon as they came here.
While everyone was watching around, the news that Shen Dejian's family had returned spread like wings in the village.
Because when they came back, they happened to meet Aunt Xie, and Aunt Xie almost dropped her jaw when she saw Mrs. Mu, and hurriedly questioned her.
Because Aunt Xie had always taken care of Shen Ruolan, Shen Dejian was grateful to her from the bottom of his heart, so he told her about Mrs. Mu and the pair of twins, except the reason why Mrs. Mu left home back then.
This is a good thing. After Aunt Xie heard about it, she was very happy for their family, so she spread the word everywhere in the village, "It's terrible, Shen Laoer's family is back!"
"Come back as soon as you come back, why is there anything else?"
"You don't know, right? The second child didn't come back with Lan Ya alone. He also brought back his wife. What about the other pair of fetuses?"
"Really? When did his wife get pregnant? Why don't we know?"
"I was pregnant when I left. It's just that the days were young and no one knew about it..."
"That's really a strange thing, let's go, let's go and have a look..."
Under Aunt Xie's propaganda, in less than a bag of cigarettes, all the old and young men from the entire backing village crowded to Shen Ruolan's house, and they all came to visit the Mu family and a group of twins.
Of course, Mrs. Mu ran away from home inexplicably back then, and now she has a pair of twins inexplicably, everyone had doubts in their hearts, but they all tacitly didn't say it out.
After seeing Zhu'er and Ju'er brothers and sisters, seeing their looks, and realizing that these two brothers and sisters look very similar to Shen Dejian and Shen Ruolan, everyone's doubts disappeared.
When Mrs. Mu saw everyone coming to visit, he greeted everyone with a smile on his face, and introduced Zhu'er and Ju'er to everyone.
"This is our second child, Zhu'er, and this is the third child, Ju'er..."
"Hey, look at this little Ju'er, it looks like it was carved out of the same mold as Lanya, and Zhu'er looks like you, with eyes like you, nose and mouth like a second child, these children, You both look so good, you two are really blessed!"
"Who says it's not? Now your family's life is getting better, and there are so many children. From now on, the days will be more prosperous..."
Everyone was chatting lively, talking about auspicious and pleasant things, no one mentioned the matter of Mrs. Mu leaving that year. If this kind of thing happened in someone else's house, there might be people who would gossip about it, but it happened In Shen's second family, even if there were gossips, they didn't dare to ask casually.
The old Shen's family is not what it used to be now, not to mention their prosperity, but also helping everyone make a lot of money, just because of this, who would bother to ask about other people's private affairs? In case there is really something ulterior, and if they ask such a question, it will make people feel unhappy, won't they offend them
In order to satisfy the momentary gossip, offending a benefactor who can help them earn money is wrong!
Therefore, everyone praised the beautiful bamboo and chrysanthemum with one voice, and congratulated Shen Dejian and his family on their reunion. No one dared to bring up that dreaded topic.
Shen Xiuyun, Shen Xiuying and the old lady Liu are no longer as arrogant as they used to be. The three mothers and daughters are affectionately holding Mu's hand, asking about their health, asking questions, and they only care about sensitive topics. Don't mention the words, just pick up nice words.
Shen Xiuyun: "Sister-in-law, it's been more than ten years, and you haven't changed at all, and you are still as good-looking as before. Look at us, how old are we? You are lucky!"
Shen Xiuying: "Sister-in-law, my nephew and niece are really beautiful, they are smart at first glance, just like Lan'er, they really reap beans if you plant beans, and you will reap melons if you sow melons. It’s good to be one of the best, but we can’t even get angry with this one..."
Mrs. Liu: "Second daughter-in-law, do you intend to stay in the village when you come back this trip, or go back to Jizhou after staying for a few days? Let your mother tell you, let's stay in the village, and we all stay together. It’s good to have someone to take care of, and it’s also a good time to kiss... "
Ever since Mu Shi married Shen Dejian, she had never been treated so politely by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Now being pursued and complimented by them like this made her feel uncomfortable, but she still answered their questions neither humble nor overbearing.
When Liu Shi and Shen Xiuyun heard that they were going to live in Guashan Village, Shen Xiuyun suddenly became more energetic, as if he couldn't kneel down to lift Mu Shi's shoes.
Wang Wanfu and Qi Laishun also surrounded Shen Dejian, trying their best to please him. The second elder brother and the second elder brother kept talking, mainly to report to him on the situation of this year's autumn harvest. Of course, the most important thing was to tell Shen Dejian that they were helping them. How much effort was spent in the autumn harvest.
"Second brother, we helped to take back all the things on the hillside of your house. This guy made us tired. Fortunately, we have finished cleaning up. Those things are put in those big sheds for the time being. Some of them can’t be put away. I led people to dig a vegetable cellar in the east and west rooms of your house, and the cellar was built. We asked our people to burn those potato seedlings and soybean seedlings on the mountain, and burned them into plant ash. "
"The Chinese cabbage is all put outside to dry. We are in a hurry these days. I don't know what you and sister-in-law mean. If you want to keep it at home, it's fine. If you want to sell it, you have to catch it." It's a bit tight, almost all the autumn vegetables in the market are on the market now, let's not sell them anymore, when everyone's autumn vegetables are all bought, who will we sell them to?"
Shen Dejian saw that the two of them were so caring, nodded and said: "I'm bothering you, who will help my family with the autumn harvest later, and I will pay the wages one by one?"
"Hey, second brother, don't you just say that? We are a family, shouldn't we help with some work? Why is there no money? Although we have no money, we can't do anything. Earn all the money? From now on, Second Brother, don’t say that anymore, it’s embarrassing to us like how much money we take!”
Qi Laishun'er's mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, chattering endlessly, Wang Wanfu was not as good at talking as he was, and just slipped aside, "Yes, yes, Lai Shun'er is right, second brother, don't Meet with us, if your family has any work in the future, just let me know, Xiuyun and I will come over to help you, and Baogen is old enough to work, if you plan to sell autumn vegetables, our family Three mouths can help you sell..."
At this time, Wang Baogen was standing behind his parents, and when he heard his father and second uncle mentioned him, he raised his head and looked at his second uncle timidly with a pair of small eyes. When he looked at him, he was so scared that he quickly lowered his head.
Ever since Shen Ruolan took the shit out of him and beat him up again, Lanya has become his nightmare. Whenever he saw her, he couldn't help trembling and frightened, and he didn't even have the courage to look at her.
Of course, he no longer dared to regard Lan Ya as the starving wretch in the past. Now, in his eyes, Lan Ya was like a queen, and even someone who could control his life and death. Can't avoid it!
Shen Ruolan saw Wang Baogen's unworthy appearance, she glanced away and turned her eyes away, she was too lazy to bother with a brat about the old things, as long as he didn't come to provoke her again, the former Let it go.
After all, it was his predecessor who bullied him, not her, and she didn't feel the pain of being bullied so personally, so it was easy to forgive him.
Shen Dejian heard what Qi Laishun and Wang Wanfu said, and said, "I'll go to Jishang tomorrow to see the market situation, and I'll start selling after I read the market situation!"
"Okay, second brother, if you want to sell it, remember to call us, we will help you sell it..." Qi Laishun and Wang Wanfu volunteered.
Shen Ruolan is not in a hurry to sell the vegetables, because these vegetables are not worth much money if they are sold now, and the harvest of fifty or sixty acres is only two or three hundred taels of silver, which is not bad. Net income of around two hundred taels.
She has spent a lot of thought, land reclamation and watering, and she is not reconciled to earning such a small amount of money, so she wants to reprocess the potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans and mung beans and other vegetables in her hand, and process them into food that can last for a long time Sell it again, so that you can double your money.
For example, potatoes and sweet potatoes can be processed into potato powder and sweet potato powder. There is no such thing as vermicelli in this world. If she makes it, it will definitely be a big seller and become popular all over the country.
Moreover, vermicelli is also easy to store, as long as it is stored in a dry and ventilated place, it will not deteriorate for a year or so, which is much less troublesome than storing potatoes.
And those soybeans, she plans to make dried tofu or tofu skin. There is only tofu in this world, but they are all water tofu. There is no dried tofu or tofu skin. If she can research dried tofu, she can make spiced dried tofu What, the money can't be earned
As for those big radishes, mung beans, red beans, etc., she is not in a hurry to get rid of them. Red beans and mung beans are durable and can be stored in summer to make ice porridge, mung bean cake, or mung bean soup. If the big radishes can be sold, they will be sold. If you can't sell it, you can dry it into dried radish or pickled radish, and then sell it to a restaurant. As long as you mix it with miso for dipping the dried radish, the dried radish is designated to be easy to sell, and it will cost more than selling big radishes. many!
If the family's crops are sold in the normal way, the final net profit may not even reach two hundred taels of silver, but if they are sold according to her method, they can be sold for at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver. Drive the economic development of the village, find ways for the villagers to make money, let everyone make money together, get rich together and run towards a well-off life!
**
The villagers stayed at Shen Ruolan's house for a while, and then they all got up and said goodbye. When she came back, the whole family was full of travel and dust, so she must give him some time to rest and recuperate.
Everyone got up one after another to say goodbye and left, Liu Shi and Shen Degui's wife, Qi Lai Shun'er's family, and Wang Wanfu's family did not leave. It seemed that they wanted to stay and finish the meal, and make friends by the way.
Grandma Dong and Shouya planned to kill chickens and ducks and cook a sumptuous dinner for them, but Shen Ruolan proposed to eat rice buns, so this dinner was very simple.
Rice bag is a kind of food often eaten by northerners, and it is very popular among northerners. It is to tear (or chop) green vegetables such as green onions, coriander, and stinky vegetables, and then shred the cooked potatoes and eggs. , stir together with the shredded (chopped) vegetables just now, add rice, mix with meat sauce (egg sauce), spread evenly on the Chinese cabbage leaves, wrap the Chinese cabbage leaves, and wrap the vegetables inside Get up and eat it, it's delicious!
The whole family ate and drank in restaurants all the way. They were tired of eating chicken, duck and fish, so they wanted to eat the rice buns here. It was light and not greasy, and it was good for dinner. Besides, they didn’t like grandma and uncle. Aunt, uncle, and the others eat at their house, so Shen Ruolan deliberately asked for a meal bag to save them from having the cheek to eat and drink at his house.
Sure enough, after hearing Shen Ruolan's suggestion of eating buns, grandma and aunts and uncles all showed disappointment on their faces, thinking that they could have an excuse to eat and drink with them tonight, but what they ate were rice buns Well, anyone can afford a meal package. If they had a meal package, they would just go home and eat it. Why should they stay here to flatter others and look at other people's faces
So, shortly after confirming that their family had a meal package, these relatives got up and said goodbye one after another.
Shen Ruolan was anxious for them to leave, and seeing them gone, she didn't try to keep them, and she was still thinking about how to send them out of Gua Shan Tun'er, otherwise their family lived in Gua Shan Tun'er, and these relatives would come to borrow some money from time to time. , grabbing a meal, or taking a nap to get some light will affect her quality of life!
After dinner, Shen Ruolan went back to the house to draw the blueprints. Whether she wanted to make vermicelli or dried tofu, she needed some special tools. She planned to draw the blueprints today and go to the county seat to order them tomorrow. Buy some necessary things such as alum, stone mill, gauze, etc., and then start processing.
The next morning, when Shen Ruolan was having breakfast, she showed her father the blueprint she had drawn last night, and told her plan.
Shen Dejian was confused. He had never seen vermicelli and dried tofu. He didn't believe that potatoes and sweet potatoes could be made into noodles, and he didn't believe that round soybeans could be made into large sheets of paper. However, his daughter has never let him down, so even if he doesn't believe in these moths she cooked, he didn't object explicitly, since she wants to do it, let her do it, maybe it will succeed!
After dinner, Shen Ruolan originally planned to go to the county to do errands, but before she could leave, grandma came with Qi Laishun, Shen Xiuying, Wang Wanfu and Shen Xiuyun. Seeing their smiling faces, Shen Ruolan I thought it must be okay.
As expected, not long after these people entered the room, they mentioned something that Shen Dejian had promised them before.
"Second brother, didn't you say before that when Lan'er came back, you would ask Lan'er to teach Wanfu and Lai Shun'er how to make some dim sum? Now that Lan'er is back, look..." Mrs. Liu said helping the two sons-in-law.
Shen Ruolan can be sure that the Liu family must have received benefits from Qi Laishun and Wang Wanfu, otherwise, she would not stand up for them.
Shen Dejian heard this, and hurriedly looked at Shen Ruolan.
It was true that he agreed at the beginning, but the premise was to discuss it with Lan'er. If Lan'er did not agree, he, as a father, has no right to teach others the painstaking efforts that his daughter had so hard to come up with.
Of course, if she agrees, everyone will be happy.
Surprisingly, Shen Ruolan agreed without hesitation.
"Okay! But, you have to customize the oven yourself. Without an oven, there is no way to make dim sum. I will draw a blueprint for you later. If you want to learn, you can customize the oven first. I can teach you guys with the oven!"
She told Qi Laishun Wang Wanfu about the size and specifications of the oven. When Wang Wanfu heard that it would cost so much money to build an oven, he immediately hesitated.
According to what Lan Ya said, an oven costs two or three taels of silver, and his family can't afford this old money!
Qi Laishun'er was also in pain, but he was more intelligent than Wang Wanfu and more intelligent than him. After Shen Ruolan finished talking about the oven, although he was in pain, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Sure, then, Lan Ya, you can help uncle paint. Later, uncle will find someone to make the oven. Then I will ask you to teach uncle how to make it!"
Although Shen Ruolan doesn't like Qi Laishun'er, but looking at the performance of these two cheap uncles, she feels that Qi Laishun'er's situation is bigger than Wang Wanfu's, and Qi Laishun's fortune may be much bigger than Wang Wanfu's in the future.
However, it's none of her business whether they are big or small, and whether they are talented or not. She really wants to teach them. As for whether they learn or not, that's their business.
In fact, she wanted to teach them how to make dim sum, not because of her kindness, but because she wanted to get them all to leave the backing village.
Their family is about to settle down in Kaoshan Tun'er, she doesn't want these troublesome relatives to hang around under their noses all day long, she might as well teach them some skills and tell them to go far away to make a living, It also saves her from seeing them making trouble.
Of course, she would not teach them her own skills and tricks, she only taught them two or three things, enough for them to make a living, if it wasn't for the sake of them disappearing into the backing village after learning their skills Even these two or three things, she is not willing to teach them!
Although Wang Wanfu was in pain, seeing that Qi Laishun agreed, he reluctantly agreed.
"Okay, let's do it together, and when the time comes, we will share half the money..."
Seeing that they all agreed, Shen Ruolan went back to the house and drew a drawing of the oven, marked the size and specifications, and handed it to them.
After that, Shen Ruolan went to Dachun's house and hired Brother Dachun's carriage, and went to the county seat.
Shen Ruolan came here at this time last year. She remembers that when she first came here, she was as thin as an African refugee, and she staggered when she walked. I can't even afford the fare of five cents. I remember Zhang Eryong kindly helped her pay the fare when I first entered the county town!
Thinking of Zhang Eryong, Shen Ruolan's heart warmed. When she was in the most difficult time, thanks to that silly boy who helped her, Shen Ruolan would never forget his help in her life.
Also, I don't know how he is doing now, he has been away for several months, and I don't know if he has joined the army now, I really hope he can get his wish and live a happy life...
When she arrived at the county town, Shen Ruolan went to the blacksmith's shop and ordered some necessary tools, such as a powder filter, large scissors, etc., and went to the grocery store to order a stone mill, bought alum and gauze, and kept them for making dried tofu and vermicelli. child use.
After making these arrangements, she made a special trip to the Duan family's embroidery workshop. When she came back to the county seat, Mrs. Duan told herself that there was a concubine named Meier who wanted to force the palace to seize the throne. Mrs. Duan asked Shen Ruolan for help, but Shen Ruolan didn't help she.
Although she didn't help her, it doesn't mean she didn't pay attention. In fact, the reason why she didn't help her at the beginning was mainly because Mrs. Duan was too disappointing. The man treated her like a poor shoe, and plotted against her with a concubine. She is still reluctant to make up, and insists on living with that man. Isn't that a bitch
She also grieved for his misfortune and was angry with her, so she let go of her in a fit of anger.
However, she and Mrs. Duan still have a little friendship. Even if she didn't help her at the beginning, she has always been thinking about her in her heart, so this time when she came to the county to do business, the first thing after finishing the business was to go to Xiufang inquired about her, wanted to know how she was doing, whether Mr. Duan really doted on his concubine and killed his wife, leaving their couple's friendship for many years at a loss...
The business of the Duan Family Embroidery Workshop has been booming since the cartoon series of embroidery products were released, and the scale of the embroidery workshop has also been continuously expanding. Shen Ruolan has not been here for a few months. When she came this time, she suddenly found that the embroidery workshop has expanded again. The shop next to it was bought and opened up, and turned into a bigger embroidery workshop, which looks very grand.
