Qian Fugui was confused but did not show it on his face. He followed Shen Zhilan's words and asked about Li Qingzhi.
It just so happened that because Governor Zhang sent a book by Li Qingzhi, Shen Zhilan asked someone to find out about Li Qingzhi and also found some books that Li Qingzhi had written before to read...
He smiled and told Qian Fugui some of Li Qingzhi's deeds, praising him again and again.
The more Qian Fugui listened, the more confused he became. The Li Qingzhi that Shen Zhilan mentioned had nothing in common with the nephew he had in mind!
He has some things to deal with tomorrow, and on New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, he will go to Chongcheng County to see his nephew.
When Qian Fugui left the Shen family, he was holding a wooden box in his hand.
There were several books in the wooden box. According to Shen Zhilan, these books were all written by Li Qingzhi and were very nice.
Shen Zhilan also said that Li Qingzhi had written a new book, which Shen's Bookstore would start printing and selling after the new year.
It was completely dark.
There were houses on both sides of the cobblestone road. Almost every household had lights on, with light shining through the windows, but there were no pedestrians on the road.
Shen Zhilan sent two servants from the Shen family to take Qian Fugui back with lanterns. Qian Fugui was walking on the street, still a little dazed.
He knew so much today.
That night, Qian Fugui almost didn't sleep all night.
He wrote a lot of letters, some to his brother and some to his boss.
Early the next morning, he called a few of his confidants and asked them to deliver the letter. Then he sat in front of the man who betrayed him and asked with a smile, "Xiao Ba, your son is only three years old, right?"
After returning to the inn, the man who was tied up trembled all over and looked at Qian Fugui in horror.
In Chongcheng County, Li Qingzhi came down from upstairs yawning and prepared to have breakfast.
When he finished talking with Qian Fugui yesterday, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon according to modern time, and it was five o'clock when he arrived at the dock.
Rowing at night is much slower than during the day... When they returned to Chongcheng County, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and by the time he went to bed, it was already early morning.
Although he could rely on his golden finger to stay awake, he would not do that normally and would make sure he got enough sleep, so he got up a little late today.
Jin Xiaoye and his friends had already had breakfast. Now Jin Xiaoye was directing people to move things into the house. As for Li Damao, Li Ermao and others, they were playing on the side.
Seeing Li Qingzhi, the two children immediately rushed over: "Dad, are you hungry?"
"Dad, Uncle Chang asked me to tell you that the rice is in the pot."
Li Qingzhi came to the kitchen and lifted the lid of the pot. He found that there was half a pot of hot water at the bottom of the pot, and a steaming rack on it. On the steaming rack there was a small pot of fried rice and a bowl of tofu pudding.
At the new pier, there are now as many ships docked as at the original pier, and more and more people have opened shops here.
Steamed buns, steamed bread, noodles, fried dough sticks, soy milk, tofu pudding... these common foods are all sold next to the new pier.
This tofu pudding should have been bought by Chang Zhan.
People in Chongcheng County basically just add some soy sauce and chopped green onions when eating tofu pudding, but Chang Zhan is more particular. He uses black fungus, diced meat, tofu skin and eggs to make a marinade that tastes like spicy soup and pours it on the tofu pudding.
