Wei Laosan and others were coming, and Liu Tangxi thought about selling candied haws again.
However, in the dowry that Yin shi gave her, there was a ready-made shop selling dry goods. It was on the snack street, and she could sell candied haws if she wanted.
The next day, after sending Wei Hanzhou off, she went out.
After walking around the snack street, I visited all the shops selling candied haws, and then sold a bunch of all kinds of candied haws.
In the end, there were more than 20 bunches, and she ate one of each bunch.
After eating so much candied gourd, let alone Wei Hanzhou, even someone like her who likes to eat candied gourd and has the Golden Finger with the improved taste almost doesn't want to eat it.
Ordinary hawthorn candied haws are about five or six cents a bunch, with six on top of a bunch. As for other fruits, the prices vary, ranging from a string of text to a string of more than a dozen texts, depending on the price of the fruit at this time.
After understanding the market price, and after calculating the rent, materials and other issues, Liu Tangxi set the price of ordinary hawthorn candied gourd at six cents a bunch, and those with glutinous rice, red bean paste, mung bean paste, and walnuts all sold for ten cents a piece. string.
After confirming, Liu Tangxi spoke to the shopkeeper of the dried fruit shop, and asked him to find a master who could make candied haws.
Although the shopkeeper felt that the sugar haws were not very profitable and troublesome, and would affect other dried fruit businesses in the shop, the shop was owned by Liu Tangxi after all. He knew that for the ladies of the noble family, they also disliked the business of this shop. For example, the wife didn't care much about it before.
Therefore, even if he thinks that dried fruits may sell better than candied haws, in the eyes of others, they may be similar, and they are all disliked.
So, he didn't say anything, happily responded, and turned around to find a skilled master who can make candied haws.
Two days later, the shopkeeper tidied up the shop, and the rest of the place remained the same, except that he got a cabinet for making candied haws at the door, and put various utensils and ingredients for making candied haws in it.
That day, Liu Tangxi came over early and brought two bags of hawthorn in person.
"The hawthorn will be used by me in the future." Liu Tangxi said.
These hawthorns have been touched by her at home, and the taste has been improved.
The shopkeeper hurriedly asked him to put the hawthorn he prepared in advance aside.
After doing all this, Liu Tangxi asked the master to make candied haws. After making a few strings, Liu Tangxi handed the candied haws to the man, and then asked the man to go to the door and shout.
"Take a look, take a look, the newly made candied haws in our shop are not delicious and don't cost money."
"Not only are they made of hawthorn, yam, and oranges, but also sandwiches."
The guy shouted and showed it.
"Try it, no money."
The flow of people here is always large, and there are people coming and going.
Many people came to buy candied haws after trying it.
As soon as there are more people, there will be queues, and as soon as there are more people in the queue, there will be more people.
In this way, one person in the front sells it, a master does it in the back, and the other guy helps.
Liu Tangxi was a little worried about the candied fruit business, so he didn't go back at noon, he just bought some food nearby, and some people packed some for Wei Hanzhou.
After lunch, she went back to the shop to watch.
When it was time for Shen, seeing that the business was going well, she decided to go shopping for food and cook.
She has been eating candied haws for almost a month, and now the feeling in her mouth is really weird, a little astringent, and a little unspeakable uncomfortable.
Thinking of Wei Hanzhou eating with her for a month, she felt that they could change their taste.
It's cold today, so it's time to eat something warm.
For example, hot pot.
Hot pot is also called antique soup.
Dali Dynasty people, some called hot pot, some called antique soup.
As for when the name was changed, Liu Tangxi didn't know. Not only hot pot, but also the names of various other foods and fruits, even the modern names she uses, everyone can understand, and no one doubts her.
She guessed that all of this was related to the time-travelling girl Liu Yunan.
Liu Tangxi went to the vegetable market to select some fresh ingredients, such as shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, spinach, potatoes and so on.
These are all available in the restaurant.
For other things she wanted to eat but the food court didn't have, she went to the restaurant opened by Liu Yunan.
Liu Yunan's restaurant is very big, and hot pot is a very popular food for her.
And these eating methods are almost exactly the same as hers in modern times.
This saved Liu Tangxi a lot of trouble.
She bought shrimp slips, lamb rolls, beef rolls, various meatballs, and more.
Not only did she buy the ingredients, she also bought the fried hot pot base.
When the shopkeeper saw her coming, he was quite frightened, and tremblingly asked the staff to prepare ingredients for her.
In the end, Liu Tangxi took the ingredients, base, seasoning, and two cans of drinks and left contentedly.
Of course, although the shopkeeper dared not take her money, she still gave it.
Seeing her leaving, the shopkeeper hurriedly sent someone to inform Liu Yunan, for fear that the eldest young lady wanted to do something to frame their master again.
After Liu Tangxi returned to the house, he went to the kitchen to prepare bone soup. Although there are seasonings, she prefers to cook a pot of soup by herself when eating hot pot at home.
She boiled big bone soup this time.
After boiling, start processing the vegetarian dishes.
When Wei Hanzhou came back, Liu Tangxi had already sent the hot pot to the main room. Both of them like to eat spicy food, and the pot is bubbling with red chili oil.
Rao is Wei Hanzhou is not a greedy person, he couldn't help swallowing slightly when he smelled it.
"Xiang Gong, you're back, go and change your clothes, wash your hands and eat." Liu Tangxi greeted Wei Hanzhou warmly.
"it is good."
When Wei Hanzhou came out, the ingredients had already been placed on the table, and the dipping sauce had been prepared.
"Is it cold outside?" Liu Tangxi asked.
"Cold." Wei Hanzhou said.
"Looking at this, maybe it's going to snow, and I don't know if the snow in the capital is as big as at home." Liu Tangxi said while looking outside.
Wei Hanzhou thought for a while and said rationally, "It shouldn't be. The capital is a bit south of the city, and it won't snow too much in previous years."
Liu Tangxi said disappointedly, "If it was at home, it would have snowed by now."
"Yeah." Wei Hanzhou responded. Seeing her feeling down, she changed the subject.
"Eating antique soup today?"
"Yeah, eat hot pot. Try it now, but it's delicious. I just ate some." Liu Tangxi said with a smile.
She originally wanted to wait for Wei Hanzhou to come back to eat together, but the hot pot was prepared a little earlier, and she couldn't hold back because of the smell, so she ate it first.
"Um."
"However, drink a bowl of bone soup to warm up before eating."
"it is good."
After Wei Hanzhou finished drinking the soup, Liu Tangxi picked up the chopsticks and cooked him a mutton roll.
Wei Hanzhou clamped up.
The taste was too spicy, and Wei Hanzhou was a little uncomfortable at first.
But gradually, after getting used to it, it got better.
Two people happily eat hot pot.
Although Liu Tangxi likes spicy food, he can't eat too much spicy food, so he drinks a few sips of drinks from time to time.
"How are the candied haws selling today?" Wei Hanzhou asked.
Liu Tangxi said while blowing the mushrooms, "It should be alright. I haven't asked about the specifics yet. I'll go to the shop tomorrow and ask."
"Well." Wei Hanzhou said, "Eat slowly."
"Uh-huh."
When the vegetables and meat were almost the same, Liu Tangxi ordered vegetable noodles for Wei Hanzhou.
It took almost half an hour to stop this meal. Liu Tangxi really had enough to eat, and it's been a long time since he had eaten so much.
The next people came in quickly to clean up.
Mother Cheng smiled and said, "Ma'am, it's snowing outside."
When Liu Tangxi heard this, his eyes lit up and he ran out immediately.
Wei Hanzhou saw that she was wearing thin clothes, and before she could say anything, she was gone.
"Where's Madam's cape?" Wei Hanzhou asked with a frown.
Madam Cheng hurriedly went inside to get it.
Wei Hanzhou took the furry cloak and walked outside.
"Sir, you should also put on a cape." Momma Cheng reminded.
"No need." Wei Hanzhou stepped outside.
"Wei Hanzhou, it's really snowing. I thought it wouldn't fall today." Liu Tangxi said with a smile.
Wei Hanzhou walked over, tied the cloak to her, held her hand, stood with her, and looked at the snow in the air.
"Well, it's snowing."
Liu Tangxi really likes snow, and every now and then he stretches out his hand to catch the snowflakes in the air.
It's a pity that as soon as the snowflake fell on her hand, it melted immediately.
But she still played with it, and had a great time.
The two stood for about a quarter of an hour. Seeing that the snow was getting bigger and bigger and the sky was getting colder and colder, Wei Hanzhou took Liu Tangxi's hand and went in.
At this moment, the hot pot in the house has been cleaned up, because the doors and windows have just been opened for ventilation, and the smell has dissipated a lot.
"I don't know if the snow will fall on white ground tomorrow morning," said Liu Tangxi.
"It should be possible, the snowflakes just now are quite big, and you can see it when you wake up tomorrow morning." Wei Hanzhou said.
Liu Tangxi's eyes were full of anticipation, and he said with a smile, "Then I'll have to get up early tomorrow morning to see it."
"it is good."
Wei Hanzhou untied her cloak, shook off the snow on it, and handed it to Mother Cheng.
It was still early, there was still some time before going to bed, and it was too cold outside to take a walk. The two sat on the couch in the inner room and read a book.
Liu Tangxi was reading a travel journal.
Wei Hanzhou also seemed to be reading a miscellaneous book.
Liu Tangxi saw that Wei Hanzhou did not read any important books, looked at the travel notes in his hand, and communicated with Wei Hanzhou.
"Why did Song Xiang say that Yunbei is dangerous, and even if the scenery is beautiful, he would not recommend anyone to go there?"
This travelogue was written by Song Xiang, the first prime minister of the Dali Dynasty.
Song Xiang served in the previous dynasty when he was young, and was demoted many times. He traveled to the four countries and countries. When he got old, he returned to his hometown and wrote this travel journal.
She remembered that now everyone said that Yunbei was very wealthy, and many merchants would go there to buy goods and sell them in the capital. It seemed that the Yin family also had some such businesses, and they were quite profitable.
Wei Hanzhou raised his eyes and glanced at the book in Liu Tangxi's hand. Then, he put down the book in his hand, took Liu Tangxi into his arms, and lowered his head to look at the book in her hand with her.
"Yunbei used to be the land of the neighboring country of Yun. The people of Yun country are good at fighting and have fought for many years. The people are savage and poor. Yunbei borders our Dali and belongs to the city on the border, and the people are even more brutal than other places. More than ten Years ago, the state of Yun kept harassing our territory, and the people were unbearable. At that time, King Jin's fief was there, so he sent troops to suppress it. After that, there were many disputes on the border between the two countries. Later, King Jin personally led an army to suppress and seized the state of Yun. The Three Cities, the country of Yun has become honest. Song Xiangyue visited Yunbei decades ago, when Yunbei was not the territory of Dali.”
"Oh! So Yunbei City refers to these three cities?"
"Well, yes." Wei Hanzhou nodded.
"Wow, King Jin is amazing." Liu Tangxi sighed.
As Yin said, these three princes are not on the same level as King Jin at all.
Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi.
Although he felt that the admiration in the lady's eyes and the admiration in her words made him a little unhappy, he continued to speak and praised the King of Pride.
"Well, after King Jin seized the three cities, the people here refused to accept it at first and often caused troubles. After less than a year, they gradually surrendered. Not only them, but even today, many people from the country of Yun have quietly crossed the new frontier and went to Yun North City life."
"Ah? Why?" Liu Tangxi asked.
"Because the people of the Yun Kingdom were poor, King Jin led them to reclaim the vast wasteland and planted food. He also led them to build houses and communicate with Dali commerce. There was food to eat, houses to live in, money to earn, and the people went to war. They have been exhausted for many years, and now they don’t care who their master is. I like to stay here and obey the management of King Jin.”
Liu Tangxi's eyes were full of admiration.
This King Jin is not an ordinary person.
I don't know King King...
Liu Tangxi swallowed her saliva, looked at Wei Hanzhou, and asked in a low voice, "Master, can I ask you a question?"
Wei Hanzhou seemed to know what she was asking, so he didn't give her a meaningful look, and said, "Well, what does the lady want to ask?"
"Is that what Wang Jin means?" Liu Tangxi asked in a low voice. At the same time, she pointed to the direction of the palace.
Although Wei Hanzhou guessed it, he didn't expect her to ask so directly.
Wei Hanzhou answered the question and said, "Do you know who the city lord of Yunbei City has obeyed so far?"
Liu Tangxi shook his head.
"Ten years ago, Yun Guo ceded the territory by signing with King Jin. The emperor called the city lord to the capital many times, but the city lord never came. The emperor was also dissatisfied, but the city lord would rather go to war with Da Li again than enter the capital. ."
Liu Tangxi swallowed and said, "Can the emperor bear it?"
"The emperor can't bear it. But, the important officials in the court endured it. Because although he didn't enter the capital, he paid tribute every year, and he belonged to the great dynasties in the territory. Except for not entering the capital, the emperor lost all face, and the rest obeyed the emperor. Li. To be precise, it is to obey King Jin's orders. If the Yunbei City Lord really joins Dayun to attack Dali together, it will be troublesome, not to mention the labor and the people's loss of money, it may not be able to win."
Liu Tangxi blinked and understood what Wei Hanzhou meant.
Wei Hanzhou thought that in the dream, after King Jin died, the territory of Yunbei and King Jin was in chaos, and they once attacked Dali. It's a pity that the prince was in Beijing, and they didn't have a leader like Wang Yingming's martial arts, and they were gradually defeated.
Wei Hanzhou never suspected that the dream was fake, because he never knew many things. If it was a dream, it would be impossible to dream of these extremely unfamiliar fields and strangers.
Moreover, his wife is a living example.
It's not that she lost her memory, but she has changed into a person with many things that the original person didn't have.
"In other words, what does King Jin mean?" Liu Tangxi asked, leaning on Wei Hanzhou's ear.
"My husband doesn't know what the lady is talking about." Wei Hanzhou returned to his previous appearance and pretended to say.
But even though Wei Hanzhou said so, Liu Tangxi still recognized the thoughts in his heart, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
King Jin, you have to do your best, don't disappoint her expectations!
Wei Hanzhou felt slightly relieved when he saw her smiling happily.
All she was worried about was that in the future when the third prince ascended the throne, she would be retaliated against.
That being the case, why not tell her something to make her feel at ease and not live in worry all day.
In his opinion, the possibility of the third prince being able to ascend to the throne is extremely small.
After Emperor Youdi failed to succeed in one hit, he lost the chance to kill King Jin.
And King Jin is not a reckless man.
On the contrary, he is very smart. Not only know how to hide, but also know how to secretly buy people's hearts.
The matter of the guards must have been figured out by King Jin, who knew who the master behind him was.
Moreover, as the direct son of the late emperor, he naturally had a large number of people to support him. Nowadays, there are many voices dissatisfied with Emperor Youdi in the DPRK. With the increase of tax revenue a few years ago, the common people are also full of complaints.
Wei Hanzhou suddenly thought of the ending of their family in the dream.
After my father died, the family was too poor to survive.
And it is the lady's credit that she is able to live so richly now.
Wei Hanzhou looked sideways at Liu Tangxi. Thinking of the topic he just talked about, he secretly reminded: "In the future, the lady can't say such absurd things outside."
Liu Tangxi was thinking about the future, when he heard this, he nodded unconsciously. However, halfway through the nod, he suddenly stopped and looked up at Wei Hanzhou.
"What did the lord say, why can't I understand it? Why have I ever said something outrageous, it's because you think so in your heart that you think I think so too?" Liu Tangxi said with a wink.
Pretend, who wouldn't
Looking at her innocent face, Wei Hanzhou raised his hand and stroked it, and said, "Well, it's my husband's fault, and the lady didn't say anything."
Seeing Wei Hanzhou admit his mistake, Liu Tangxi wrapped his arms around his neck and kissed his face.
"It's good that you know you're wrong. You can't say such rude words in the future, remember?" Liu Tangxi taught Wei Hanzhou a lesson in turn.
Wei Hanzhou couldn't stand this kind of provocation, so he kissed him back.
After a few kisses, he said in a hoarse voice, "Remember."
It was freezing cold outside the house, the snow was flying, and the house was warm as spring.
From the couch to the bed, the clothes were scattered all over the place, and the curtain of the bed was lowered, obscuring the spring light. ,,
