Not to mention who moved the heart, after the Qingming Festival, Miao He took Yang Dalang and counted the money happily.
They just settled the gross proceeds of this year's Crispy Plum. This time, the output was not too much, but Yang Dalang adhered to the principle of black-hearted and bold business, and really sold a small urn of crispy plums for two taels of silver.
For the first time, the business was very light, and the worried Miao He asked Yang Dalang to go to the town to ask in a few days, but later, the customers who bought it back had a good reputation, and the sales suddenly increased. All orders come before finished products. There are still people who can't grab it until the end.
Calculated in this way, the crisp plums at the end of the 130 urns made a net profit of 150 taels for the two of them! This is not to mention the selling price for the tea house. If you add the 100 taels of flowers that were already on hand, Miao He is quite bold this time. Without waiting for Yang Dalang to mention it, he directly handed over the money urn and said to buy another mountain! In this way, there is one steamed bun and one for each of them, and it is just right for them to take care of themselves.
Yang Dalang touched the little brother's head and said hello.
But Miao He paused and changed his mind later. "Or, let's buy a shop in the town first? If there is a shop, we can sell the goods ourselves, and you can put what you learned into practical use, right? It's not bad to think about it, but you said we opened Is a dessert shop good, or a fruit shop? Or an ice shop... "
"No. No need."
"Why? Stores can also keep their value, so they don't lose money."
Yang Dalang kissed Miao He, "I'm busy. I don't have enough time to accompany you."
It is true that running a store takes a lot of time, and I was worried at the beginning, and I would have to run to the town every day. And they planted trees in this kind of flower and made it beautiful, not just for a relaxed and comfortable life, Miao He struggled for a while and rushed over. "Then, when the steamed buns are big, can we open it together again?"
Yang Dalang opened his hand to catch the person, "Well, let's go together."
Even though the responsibility remains, he feels that more important things should not be sacrificed.
Then I heard the younger brother say with bright eyes, "Since that's the case, we're all busy, so today we'll take the steamed buns and the others to enjoy the flowers! Another day, I'd like to find someone to learn how to make a flower cake, and then I'll invite my second aunt. They also come to enjoy the flowers, what do you think?"
At this time, the plum blossoms, peach blossoms and pear blossoms in Houshan have all reached the flowering stage one after another.
Pieces of snow white dotted with peach red on the back of the mountain, it is really beautiful.
So, do you want to see flowers and eat flower cakes
Yang Dalang has been able to enjoy these whimsical ideas, and he can also help consider them. "Ask little brother Xu, his master will meet."
So a flower viewing party that opened as soon as it was opened was decided like this!
Hearing the news, Xu Ming's eyes were very bright, and he wisely contributed the labor of his dessert chef, and successfully exchanged the opportunity for the whole family to attend the flower viewing party! Miao He on the other end was also happy and relaxed, not only was he stealing a hand, but he also got a chef who brought his own helpers and came directly to the house to help make the cakes, without any hassle.
Even the chef burst into tears, he, he has never made such a delicious cake! ! How is it? How did the craftsmanship advance by leaps and bounds here? The white noodles, petals and berries that people don't know how to use are all produced in the soil, and the quality is superior and superior.
The flower viewing party, which only invited relatives and friends, eventually became a large-scale spring outing picnic event.
All the guests present, regardless of their status, experienced a picnic mat under a tree (here, straw and coarse cloth were used instead), and admired the colorful and elegant taste of the fallen fallen leaves floating in the wind above their heads.
Coupled with the rich and fragrant flower cake with sweet and sour flowers, and the gratifying peach filling behind the cake, it will make people's appetite open, and the index finger will move. For those who don't like sweetness, Miao He also prepared fried pumpkin buds, with crispy skin and sweet petals wrapped inside, and a sip of flower tea that was washed with petals, slightly bitter but bitter. It was just right. !
Enjoying and eating flowers, and falling flowers on the top of your head, this unique leisurely feeling of spring is something that Xu Huan, who has seen many scenes, has never experienced.
It was his wife Xiang Zhen. She was a quiet and quiet lady. She was uncomfortable sitting on the ground at the beginning, and finally let go of the restraint between her brows and laughed softly with the hearty Mrs. Liang.
Not to mention the kids. There are a lot of children present, including the second aunt's family, Liang Yuanwai's family, Lin Shu also brought his grandson today, new neighbors Xu Ming and Xiang Zhen have a daughter and a two-year-old, not counting the Miao He family who are not active, the little children have Eat and drink, there are mats to roll on, petals are thrown to play, the little black cat and the big haired dog are bullied for free, and the laughter has never stopped.
Seeing how happy everyone was, Miao He also asked Dalang to bring out the plum wine he made last summer.
I don't know if the brewing is good or not, so Miao He wanted to take it out for the researcher Ji to check first. As long as people drink it all right, even if it is not wine and only vinegar, it will be fun and lively.
However, the liquid crystal of the wine poured out was a beautiful dark brown, and a rich and unique fruity aroma immediately fascinated the surroundings. Xu Huan, who specializes in the tribute wine business, froze slightly when he heard it.
Dr. Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, the wine is a success, it's just that the ratio of sugar is not right, it's a little too sweet, but those who like sweet will definitely like it." Having said that, Dr. Ji was still intoxicated. The ground drank again from the small cup in his hand, and his mouth was full of joy.
Miao He thought that it wasn't because the proportion of sugar was wrong. I was afraid it was a pot with too sweet plums, but it didn't matter, it was fine if you could drink it, and if it was sweeter, it could be used as juice! Afterwards, he generously gave everyone a small cup of plum wine, and sure enough, several ladies and aunts loved this taste very much, saying that it was sweet and smooth, and it could not be better.
Xu Huan also followed the crowd holding the cups, but an idea popped into his mind.
And when everyone went back that day, they couldn't help but ask.
"Can you come back next year?"
Even if I know that I am disturbing others, I will be really happy today to enjoy the flowers. Several wives and aunts also said that next year, they will bring their own food and invite the master to have a good meal, so as to avoid their shameless and uninvited rudeness.
Miao He naturally agreed with Yang Dalang holding the baby.
Because next year Mantou Wotou will be able to run. It would be great to have so many kids to play with by then.
Riding on the tour, each goes to his own home.
Xu Huan also sent his wife and daughter, who were still smiling, back to the room.
It's just that I can't bear what I'm going to say next. Xu Huan didn't hold Ren Bai's thin and thin hand until his wife asked the maids to settle his daughter, and said softly, "Tomorrow, I have to leave."
Xiang Zhen's eyes were originally shining with happiness, but they dimmed immediately. "… So fast?"
Xu Huan sighed. In order for her to adapt quickly after moving in, he has spent a lot of time.
"You know what's going on at home, too. If something goes wrong this time, next year will be even more dangerous."
Xiang Zhen lowered her eyes and nodded obediently.
Xu Huan tried his best to persuade, "You can rest in peace here, eat more of your favorite food, I'll see you gain weight later, and don't think about what your aunt said, you know."
Xiang Zhen raised her watery eyes, "I know." However, there was still a hint of emotion in her eyes.
Xu Huan pretended not to see. He knows his wife's heart is knotted, but he can't change people's thoughts.
"I leave Steward Li and Xiaoming here. Xiaoming is young, but he already knows the severity of the matter. If there is something that Butler Li can't decide, just let Xiaoming decide. Don't worry, take good care of our sugar baby. All right. Huh?"
As soon as she said that her daughter Xiang Zhen laughed, "Okay."
Xu Huan was a little relieved.
Afterwards, it took some time to appease his wife, and then he stepped out of the door and got busy.
—
A few days after the flower viewing party, the villagers heard the wind more or less.
No way, although the aunts that Miao He invited were not those with broken mouths, but this time, the flower viewing will give them a real taste of life. The cakes were delicious, the flowers were beautiful, and the plum wine was even sweeter and delicious, even Second Aunt Yang couldn't help but say a few words to others. With such a sentence or two, the matter spread.
With this rumor, no one in the village dared to rush to Miao He's house shamelessly, shouting to see the flowers. After all, in this era, those who can buy hilltops are called landlords, and those who offend the landlords are called to be full. The envy of outsiders is envy, and with this class, it becomes a lot more disciplined.
But there are also active minds, just want to learn.
Especially when Miao Duan heard this, her eyes lit up. Seeing flowers, what a beautiful thing, to be able to wear the pink Luo skirt cut last spring, wearing my favorite beaded flowers, standing under the flowers, that, that...
So Miao Duan couldn't help but went to Miao Yuan's room and dragged her brother and said, "Brother, you also have a spring outing poetry party, there are a few trees by the river that are blooming well, brother can invite your teachers and classmates to come over. , and also, the new neighbors, the Xu family brothers, have a good family background, and they can definitely help..."
Before he could finish speaking, Miao Yuan suddenly shook his hand away! And looked at his sister strangely.
"You really have the face to say this. Teacher and classmate? Do you think your brother and I are a man who has been cheated on by her husband and has just been separated from her husband. Who would be willing to make friends with me? If you walk with me, you will be laughed at. Hehe, Poetry Club, hahahahaha…”
The tone that was originally gloomy suddenly became a little crazy. Miao Duan couldn't help but take a few steps back in fear, "Well, I, I don't know how things will change, that's not me..."
"Go away!!! I don't want to talk to you!!!"
Miao Yuan slammed the book down, Miao Duan screamed and rushed out of the room!
As soon as Lin Xue heard the news, she ran out and saw Miao Duan hurriedly come out of Miaoyuan's room. As soon as she saw her, she called out, "Mother!! Brother, brother, is something wrong with him!! He actually took the book. Throw me!!"
After reconciling with Minchun, Miao Yuan was locked in his room every day, saying that he was studying hard, and no one saw him. Even the food was only brought in by Lin Xue. Therefore, Miao Duan didn't realize that something was wrong, and she naively forgot the responsibility of the sentence she shouted at the wedding banquet.
Lin Xue later recalled that she also resented this stupid daughter in her heart. If she didn't shout that in public, then why would Yuanzi need to reconcile with Minchun for the sake of fame! ? How can Minchun take away their family's money! ? It's hard to say, they are now living in a big blue brick house! !
Everything is started by her daughter! !
It's just that she can't blame herself, who told her to be the one who decided to make things bigger.
So as soon as she heard someone say it, Lin Xue sternly shouted, "I told you not to go to your brother, you are taking A-Niang's words on your ears!? Your brother is now studying a lot, and he has a temper, so what's the fuss about? It's you, why did I still see the dirty clothes piled up there yesterday, and when are you going to wash them!? When you have time to make trouble with your brother, what should you do if you don't do it, what does it look like! !"
When Miao Duan heard this, her face immediately turned bad.
Their workshop was finally closed, and now the town is full of bean curd and bean curd, and the competition is fierce. Not hastily ended. And without the workshop, without the hired aunt workers, the usual trivial matters have to be done by themselves.
However, after a good period of time, Miao Duan was really impatient to return to the hard days of the past, and his yearning for wealth became even more important. Nowadays, people say that Miao Jin'er is luckier than herself. When her family's situation is good, she gets married first, and she has a good partner. But no matter how good it is, isn't it just a farmer? She doesn't like it, since her brother can still pass the exam, she should have a better way out!
