The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May is a festival celebrated by the whole country, and it is also a festival for disease prevention and epidemic prevention in summer.

In addition to eating zongzi, racing dragon boats, hanging calamus, artemisia grass, mugwort leaves, etc., but also drinking realgar wine, and bathing children with bitter herbs and wheat medicine. Watching the dragon boat race with the whole family is the fun of the common people.

The custom of Dragon Boat Dragon Boat Racing has been around for a long time, and just after lunch, Brother Yang took Zixian out to see the excitement. Because of the conspicuous pregnant belly, the work of preparing for the festival naturally excluded him, and Brother Yang had nothing else to do except sit under the eaves and eat zongzi and eat fruits.

Seeing that he had been stuffed for a long time, the Song family was also a little unbearable, so he asked Liang Zixian to go out and protect him carefully, and before leaving, he asked Ziping and his wife to help keep an eye on him.

Liang Meng is about to get married in March, and the dowry was also carried into the door of Liang's house yesterday. A woman who is about to get married should not show her face, because there is no Liang Meng's share in this trip, and Liang Zizhuang and his wife are not reluctant to marry their daughters and lose their thoughts of wandering.

Liang Zijun wanted to go, but Chen Qing had just changed power, and it was when he was anxious and irritable, so he weighed the pros and cons, so he had to hold on carefully and obediently go back to the study to warm the book.

This half-moon of anxiety and half-moon enthusiasm can really be described as two days of ice and fire, Liang Zijun secretly calculated that this kind of tormented days would have to pass for three months, and a handsome face was as ugly as a bitter gourd.

Chen Qing also knew that he was angry at Liang Zijun for no reason, but he was unwell, and his temper couldn't be controlled, so he had to avoid Liang Zijun as much as possible. Seeing that he obediently Wen Shu, he went into the bedroom to embroider quietly, embroidered without two stitches and lost the embroidery work irritably, and went out to pull weeds.

The chicks grew quickly, and except for the first few that died, the remaining 25 now weigh half a catty. The crops in the field are growing well, and an acre of wheat has already been tasseled, surging layer by layer with the breeze like a stream of water.

Chen Qing raised his eyes to look at the sky, now is the season when there is less rain, fortunately, there are a few heavy rains in the spring to water the ground, otherwise I am afraid that in ten days and a half months, I am afraid that I will have to carry water to irrigate the ground.

At noon, the sun is scorching, the poultry are hot lying on the ground and do not like to move, fill the sink with cool well water Chen Qing went to the pigsty to clean again, if you don't pick up diligently in summer, the smell will soon drift away. He carried water and bathed the two fat pigs before returning to the yard with the barrel.

This noon is really not the time to work, Chen Qingre is sweating all over his body, and he goes into the bathhouse to rush through the cold water before going into the warehouse to find some ingredients that can relieve the heat.

As soon as the japonica rice was soaked, Wei Liang entered the courtyard, and Chen Qing motioned for Liang Zijun to be in the study and asked him to find it himself. After a while, I saw the two of them coming out one after the other, Liang Zijun went out, and couldn't hide his excitement and ordered, "I'll go to the county, and I won't come back to eat at night."

Chen Qing rolled his eyes, knowing that he was holding back ruthlessly, and he didn't bother to restrain him and nodded and went with him.

Liang Zijun secretly raised his eyebrows at Wei Liang, strode out of the courtyard, patted the little guy who came to look for him, and praised, "It's good to come!

"What did the third master say, didn't we Liao Ye also understand you so I didn't dare to come to the door to disturb you~" The little guy glanced at the inner courtyard meaningfully, and got Liang Sanye sighed and said, "Don't mention it......"

I don't know why, but I still thank you happily after receiving the reward.

Liang Zijun took the reins of the horse handed by Wei Liang, turned over and jumped on the horse's back lightly, patted the old man's neck and comforted, "Suffocated, right? Go, the master will take you for a walk~" Kicked the horse's belly lightly, and without waiting for a shout of "driving" the horse, he opened his four hooves and ran forward.

The little guy covered his nose and fanned off the dust that was trampled by the horse's hooves, and one person and one horse ran away without a trace in a blink of an eye, "Look at the third master, no wonder Liao Ye said that he was invited to move, I'm afraid that the third master is anxious."

Wei Liang nodded approvingly, he could detain the third master and not run to the county for a month, except for the young grandmother, I am afraid that no one can do it. Reaffirming the status of the third young grandmother in the Liang family, Wei Liang turned around and closed the courtyard door.

Liang Zijun hit his horse and rushed to the north city gate, turned over and dismounted, and directly handed over the horse to the man to settle down without even going to the other courtyard. Teng Tengteng went up to the second floor, opened the door and smiled at first, and then complained, "You two are too uninteresting, it took so long to remember to send someone to find me!"

Liao Fanzhi and Li Shoucai glanced at each other, and laughed at him, "Isn't this for fear of disturbing the interest of the third master's reunion, so I didn't dare to come to the door to disturb him."

"I knew you couldn't bear to be lonely, so we might as well send someone to the door earlier" Li Shoucai wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, shook his head and smiled.

"Haha, I know that without me, you must be unhappy to drink" Liang Zijun lifted his hem and strode on the chair, picked up the wine jug and poured himself a drink, and did not forget to shake his head and smack his lips, "The taste of drinking at home and drinking out is different"

"Come on, I'm afraid it's right that you don't think about it at home, if you don't have something serious, Brother Li and I wouldn't dare to disturb your good deeds" Liao Fanzhi pouted and muttered.

"Even if this family is so good, it can't chill my brother's heart, right?" Liang Zijun happily drank another cup of amusement.

"Pull it down, let's get down to business" Li Shoucai handed over a letter, squinted his eyes and looked calculating.

Liao Fanzhi leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "Gentlemen, if you find a good way to make money, are you interested in intervening it?"

Liang Zijun raised his eyebrows, shook off the letter and looked at it twice before taking the fire fold handed by Li Shoucai and lighting it, and only after it was burned to ashes did he pull the corners of his mouth and nod with a smile.

Liang Zijun is worried that there is no silver to spend, and the silver that Chen Qing allocates to him every month is not enough to stuff his teeth.

"Brother, it's not easy to find this way of wealth, if you become a person, you will get the least amount of this number" Liao Fanzhi secretly slapped him with a slap.

Liang Zijun grabbed that hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, besides, there is this number just by testing the water, and the money for our brother's drinks will be spent on two more trips in the future."

Liao Fanzhi leaned on Liang Zijun's shoulder and teased him, "What's the matter? I've been short of money lately? I've never seen you so concerned before."

Liang Zijun pushed his head away, coughed secretly, and defended with a serious face, "Who would think that there is a lot of silver?"

Li Shoucai tapped the table, slowly sharpened the ink and lifted the pen, and the three of them lay together and secretly summed up, this business is good to make money, but if it is messed up, it will be a matter of losing the head! For the sake of prudence, try to use the pen as a substitute for the mouth, in case the partition wall has ears.

Liao Fanzhi got a new way to make a fortune under the pretext of purchasing new ingredients from the capital Wanle Zhai, imported seafood from the Zhou Kingdom, and then brought pearls from it to be secretly hidden in shells and transported back.

Xia is located inland, there are many rivers and lakes, rich in water resources, but it is far away from the sea, unlike Zhou is a coastal country, rich in seafood. The official salt of the Xia Kingdom also came mostly from well salt, alkali salt and cliff salt, but if you want to sell sea salt, you need to buy it from the Zhou State.

Sea salt is made by decoction of sea brine, well salt is made by decoction of well brine, alkali salt is made by scraping alkaline soil, pool salt is dried from pool brine, and cliff salt is born between soil and cliffs. Sea salt, well salt, and alkali salt come from people, and pool salt and cliff salt come from heaven.

In terms of color, there are: snow, peach blossom, blue, purple, white and so on.

It is the seafood that is eaten in the capital are from the Zhou State, and the trade between the two countries has been going on for a long time, but the border inspection is very strict, and the tax is able to remove nearly 30% of the profits. If there is no way, few merchants are willing to introduce seafood for sale, and once they are entrained and hidden, they will be sent to forced labor and cut off their heads.

Liang Zijun is not worried that the door is not hard enough, and most of the seafood is mainly dry goods for easy transportation, such as sea rice, shrimp skin, sea vegetables, etc., fresh fish and shellfish are inconvenient to transport, and most of the dead on the road have to be accounted for, even if the selling price is high, it is difficult to make up for the loss.

The shellfish purchased this time is just a disguise, but the real value is the pearl hidden inside. Pearls are very popular with the ladies of large families of official eunuchs, and their value is one or two gold (one gold is equal to 20 taels, and a thousand gold is equal to 20,000 taels of silver)

Nowadays, trade is frequent, and pearls are not as rare as in the previous dynasties, although a tael is not worth a thousand gold, but it can be exchanged for hundreds of taels of silver. Moreover, the pearl entrainment is convenient, as long as the joints are opened, it is extremely difficult to find if you do not check carefully.

After discussing the specific matters, Liao Fanzhi pointed to the table and said with a little distress, "It's just that this customs clearance document is not easy to handle, if you go to the yamen to handle it, I'm afraid you will have to subtract one percent of the profit."

Liang Zijun squinted at him, and said jokingly with the corners of his mouth, "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, why should I bother for so long, why don't I use him for this time?"

Liao Fanzhi didn't pretend to be entangled, and stabbed him with his elbow, "I have already inquired, He Zhixian's hometown is in Linfan (Linfan County), please ask him to take care of it, I'm afraid that I don't have to check it if I pass the customs."

Liang Zijun raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, shaking his head and vetoing. If you ask He Zhixian to make a move, I'm afraid that you will have to smash 18,000 taels to become "I think it's better to start from He Biting, it's inconvenient for us to come forward, let you raise those shopkeepers to negotiate, at most share 40% of his profits"

Li Shoucai smiled and nodded in agreement, "It's so good, the profit on the face is at most three thousand taels, and it's not much than forty percent, it's lower than the threshold for us to smash Zhixian, this deal is cost-effective."

Liao Fanzhi tapped the desktop, and said with a thief smile on his face, "You pull the line?"

Liang Zijun slapped him hard: "Get out! Dig a pit early and wait for me to jump! I want to take half of the profits."

Li Shoucai shook his head and smiled, "Cheng, just do what Brother Liang said, I have no opinion on more work"

After the matter was negotiated, Li Shoucai invited the three of them to a banquet that night, and Liang Zijun smiled silently at the banquet, only waiting for Li Shoucai to mention the conversation, and then interjected to introduce He Biting into the urn.

He Biting looked happy and bowed his hand again and again, "I, He Mou, am fortunate to meet Brother Liang and the two brothers, it is really a great blessing in life, and I will return to you when I earn the money."

Liang Zijun waved his hand and responded generously, "What did my brother do when he said this? If you have a way to make money, everyone will make money together, but you are wronged and the brother who guards the wealth wants to give up part of the profits to us."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I can't lose much, I was also doing business with that foot firm, counting a few brothers and not suffering, the merchant is also a good blessing, there are three brothers to help presumably this order can also make a few more deals" Li Shoucai waved his hand generously with a shy stomach.

After a while, the man invited the director of the foot trading house, and first met several proprietors before informing them of the trip one by one.

In addition to buying their own goods, the firm will also cooperate with other merchants in need, and receiving more business is just a matter of hiring an extra carriage, and it will not push the transaction outward.

Knowing that this time took four orders of business, the principal smiled with a full face, and promised again and again, in order to ensure that the dart division manpower has been doubled, and sufficient manpower can ensure that the goods are not lost, if there are not four people to pay in advance, the firm does not dare to buy sea goods.

Once the sea goods arrive in the capital, they will not worry about the market, with Li Shoucai as a guarantee, He Biting is full of confidence in this transaction, and he will bear the matter of boasting of customs clearance, without spending silver on a few brothers.

The banquet was all happy, and the four of them returned happily without mentioning it.
