Chapter Ninety-Three: Zuo but Accept a Concubine
Sun Xiujin is too unwilling, the one she looks at, she looks left and right and is not satisfied! With Young Master Shen Zhuyu in front of her, how could she still look down on that self-righteous man! For her own future, she must be Bo Yibo!
But she was a little bottomless in confessing her intentions, especially when Shen Songming was rare Pei Qin.
Sun Xiujin wanted to take a chance of Pei Qin's absence, and expressed her determination to Shen Songming and follow him, even if she was small, she took the lead, and if she had a son, her position would be preserved! As long as she pleases her mother-in-law, she will have a good life! As a wife, I don't dare to talk to her!
Although Shen Songming is at Pei Qin's house every day, he has to go back to the inn every day after dinner.
Sun Xiujin waited for the rabbit on his way back to the inn.
Shen Songming came out full of food, and in the evening, he led Shuangxi out of Liu'er Lane and walked to the inn.
Sun Xiu calculated carefully, and as soon as he came over, she immediately twisted her feet and fell towards him.
It's just that every time she sees Shen Songming, he walks in front and leads the entourage of Shuangxi, and when Shuangxi follows, he also follows behind. What she didn't know was that in the aisle at night, Shuangxi walked in front of the light with a lamp. Even if you don't need to take a photo, you are used to walking in front, walking on a smooth road, and then giving Shen Songming a walk, and you won't be careless, bumping into or stepping on the pit.
As soon as the person who came in front of him came over, Sun Xiujin ran two steps, bumped into someone at once, twisted his foot fiercely, and immediately screamed in pain.
bumped into someone head-on, and Shuangxi subconsciously grabbed her.
Sun Xiujin grabbed his clothes and cried lowly, "My foot ......" stood unsteadily and fell into Shuangxi's arms.
Shuangxi's whole body stiffened, "This... Girl! I already have someone I like, what's the matter with you hitting me in my arms like this!? ”
He was not prepared to make a statement, so his voice was relatively low.
Sun Xiujin's heart was pounding, the first time she did such a thing, she was nervous and excited, hearing him say that he had someone he liked, thinking of Pei Qin, Sun Xiujin endured his shame, left his reserve, reached out and grabbed his waist, leaned tightly, twisted his feet, and couldn't stand.
Shen Songming has traveled through more than a year, two maids washed and climbed into his bed, and his mother opened her face to give him, and there were also those who embroidered a purse to make a small coat and embroidered a pattern representing his name. These routines, he dares to guarantee that Pei Qin does not know as much as he does. Recognized Sun Xiujin, saw her tightly grasping Shuangxi and leaning on his arms Chu Chu pitifully sobbed, shouted that her feet twisted painfully, and scolded Pei Qin in her heart, "Miss Sun! You didn't fall me, but gave it to my little girl, you made me ......"
Sun Xiujin was taken aback, the material under his hand was silk, very slippery! She raised her eyes and saw that it was really not Shen Songming, her face turned pale with surprise, she pushed away Shuangxi, hurriedly dodged, and looked at Shen Songming in panic.
Shuangxi was pushed by her and almost fell. Seeing her frightened look, she pouted. Just this number, dare to calculate their young master!
"No... No! I was in too much of a hurry and twisted my foot! Sun Xiujin's panicked eyes were red, and now the tears really poured out, and the pear blossoms no longer brought rain.
Shen Songming was a little impatient, this Sun Xiujin was obviously not close to Pei Qin, and often ran to their house, her eyes were a little cold, so she scared her, "Miss Sun really didn't mean it?" But it has happened, it is not dark yet, and you are holding my little girl in the street...... It can be regarded as having a skin-to-skin relationship, it just so happens that your men are unmarried and your women are unmarried, so it's better to ......"
"Nope! I don't do it! Sun Xiujin shouted sharply.
"Don't mind! I really have someone I like! I'm still waiting to marry a daughter-in-law when I'm old! Miss Sun, don't shout, when someone calls, you can only be wronged! "Shuangxi has already been engaged, and when his daughter-in-law is old enough to be released from the house, he will be able to get married.
Sun Xiujin didn't dare to shout again, but his face turned pale with fright, and his tears kept falling.
"You really walked too quickly, whether you broke your feet or not, you didn't see it clearly. In the future, you have to keep your eyes open in the aisle! Shen Songming glanced at her and walked away.
Shuangxi hurriedly followed, and did not forget to turn around and tell Sun Xiujin, "Don't talk nonsense, ask me to be responsible!" ”
After a while, someone came over, and Sun Xiujin woke up, quickly wiped a handful of tears, and turned into the alley. And her foot is really twisted, and it hurts to walk.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain in his feet, Sun Xiujin walked home, and tears fell down uncontrollably, remorseful, unwilling, and angry.
She thought resentfully, no one saw it anyway, and when Ming'er was gone, she said that she was on a turn, and Shen Songming 'helped her', he had to marry her, even if he was small, even if he would get tired of her, he would slowly find out her good in the future, and he would be able to envelop him.
But when she thought of double happiness, she didn't dare. She was afraid that Shuangxi would shout out, and when the time came, she would be ruined, and Shen Songming would ignore her again, and her life would be ruined.
Shuangxi was really afraid that she would rely on Shen Songming, and when Shen Songming returned to the inn, he said something and came to Sun Lizheng's house.
Tian was coaxing Sun Xiujin, rubbing her twisted feet with medicinal wine, and asked what happened to her baby girl, Sun Xiujin only cried vigorously, shouting that it hurts.
Sun Li was frowning and sitting in the hall, hearing that Shuangxi was coming, thinking that his daughter had gone out without a few bites of dinner, but he turned his feet and came back crying, and he was shocked to see Shuangxi coming over again. Don't...... The girl went out and met Young Master Shen!?
Shuangxi came over and apologized first, saying that he didn't mean to help Sun Xiujin, and the two of them didn't do anything, he didn't say anything, it wouldn't affect Sun Xiujin's in-laws.
When he heard that it was Shuangxi's daughter who twisted her feet, Sun Lizheng felt cold in his heart.
Sun Xiujin was ashamed and resentful, and when she opened her mouth, she wanted to shout that Shen Songming helped her, and Shuangxi came to confess and bully her.
Shuangxi saw Tian come out, as if he didn't believe what he said, "If you don't believe it, just ask Miss Sun to speak with her conscience!" If there is anything else, our young master said it, and he will admit it! Left but the back house has one more room of concubines, one more and one less is nothing! ”
Tian's face was red and white for a while, and he couldn't speak.
After Shuangxi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Sun Li was standing at the door and lowered his voice and scolded Sun Xiujin angrily, "Didn't I tell you!?" How did you say yes!? This happened, you don't want to live! ”
Sun Xiujin covered her face and cried, "Then I won't live!" I'm dead! "Such a big humiliation, aren't you afraid that she won't want to die!?
Shen Songming slept well until dawn and got up lazily, "Today, they will go to set up a stall, and we will go over and ask for a few sesame sauce pancakes with meat, and then eat a bowl of wontons." ”
Shuangxi looked at his expression and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master!" You're really not afraid that the Sun family will come up!? ”
"If you really come up, you really accept her! Let her live a life she imagines it to be like! "Shen Songming's sympathy has always been very meager, he is in business, and he has to be treacherous and vicious to make money.
Shuangxi pursed his lips, maybe they would be really happy!
There was no movement at Sun Lizheng's house, and Taiping Town was still bustling and lively on market days as usual.
Pei Qin went out to sell sesame sauce baked cakes and sweet potato balls, they no longer sell them, the remaining sweet potatoes are sold out, and now, some sweet potatoes are also frozen, rotten, those that are not good, they eat them at home, and the rest are dried into sweet potato chips and ground into sweet potato noodles.
Shen Songming stayed for a few more days, took Zhang Gengshan and Feng Wei to familiarize themselves with the herbs they picked, and said a bunch of bad things about Mo Heng's master and servant in front of Pei Qin.
After he left, Pei Qin plucked out his ears, scolded 'brain pumping', and went to fry peanuts. The sugar-fried peanuts and drunkard peanuts she fried this time were all taken away by those two goods, and she took away so many sweet potato noodles, I don't know if he can eat it!
Shen Songming gave half of the sweet potato noodles to Meng Dinglun, saying that the other half was going to be taken back to Beijing for the elders at home to taste, and he couldn't give it to him. I didn't say much about the rest, and I didn't ask about the Qian family.
Meng Dinglun can be the prefect of the four grades, and he is also a human spirit, seeing that he just came to deliver a sweet potato noodle, he wandered around and left, but he deliberately took a detour, that is, he came to remind him. will mention what he did before to Shen Ge Lao with a sentence or two. Although his words or two did not have much impact on his career, if there was someone with the same qualifications as him, he would designate him as the one who was suppressed.
After thinking about it, Meng Dinglun still decided to push the matter of the Qian family and let them find Wu Dongsi.
Wu Dongsi was also a little unhappy, these officials of the county government, the three classes of six rooms and one hundred and ten people, he couldn't finish it, so Zhao Yaocheng's nephew married the Pei family, and gave Pei Wenli a meritorious name. Shen Songming came this time, but he didn't enter his county office. But after harvesting the wheat, he's about to plant sweet potatoes, so he'll always leave a message, right!?
called Pei Qin to the county government to ask her, Shen Songming left a message, what are the plans for the planting of sweet potatoes in summer.
Shen Songming is not a farmer, he can think of planting sweet potatoes to raise seedlings and turn seedlings, how can there be any planning, just tell him, when the wheat is about to be harvested, post a notice to teach the people how to prepare the land and how to plant sweet potatoes.
Wu Dongsi had no choice but to listen, told Master Qianliang to prepare in advance, and asked people to go to various towns to post notices to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes.
This year's wheat is not good, there is no rain and snow in the early stage, and when it comes to the valley rain, there are several heavy rains in a row, the early rise is not good, and the later growth is too fierce and unstable.
Many old crops are worried.
After eating the locust flowers, soon, the ears of wheat can already eat green wheat kernels.
Pei Qin cut all the wheat scattered on this side of the workshop, ate green wheat kernels, and came over to send a bundle to Mo Heng's master and servant, seeing that he was soaked in sweat, and before it was hot, he touched his chin and thought, "Could it be that the unreliable second goods messed around with a recipe!?" Why don't you stop this medicine? ”
"Nothing went wrong." She didn't know, but Mo Heng could hear that Shen Songming really wanted to cure his eyes and drive him away, and the silver was thrown to him. Mo Heng really couldn't imagine that one day, he would be dumped with money.
Seeing that he insisted, Pei Qin didn't persuade him, what if it was true? It doesn't seem to be really wrong! Ignore him, go home and steam the wheat kernels to eat.
The wheat kernels here were just tender and delicious, and when a rain fell over there, a strong wind blew.
"Don't get out of the stall today, let's go back to sleep!" Pei Qin got up at dawn and went back to the house to sleep.
Pei Wendong and Alan Chang were still practicing martial arts with Alan Chang in the workshop, and when the two of them came back from buying breakfast, Pei Qin was still sleeping.
"A lot of wheat has fallen in the field, and some people have poured a lot, crying in the field, saying that after the tax and grain are paid this year, there will be no rations!"
"We didn't grow wheat, but we poured some beans."
When Pei Qin heard this, a spirit got up, "Our beans have fallen?" ”
"Eldest sister, when you go out to see, there are many leaves and broken branches on the ground, and a lot of wheat has fallen in the field! Our beans are also poured, not too many. Pei Wendong said.
Pei Qin hurriedly washed up, drank a bowl of tofu brain, took the buns, and went out after nibbling on them.
The streets were wet and full of leaves, broken branches, and a mess. Some people were sweeping leaves and broken branches in front of the door.
The air smells fresh, but looking at the wheat poured into the field, Pei Qin's mood is not fresh.
Sun Quanliang's family was sighing on the ground, "The sweet potato seedlings will be vigorous in a few days, but after pouring wheat and beans, they can't grow." ”
"Pick up all the broken ones, keep the ones that are not broken, and they can grow up, and then talk about them if they don't." Pei Qin said, striding to the ground.
Sun Quanliang hurriedly led his son to follow.
After reading it, Pei Qin picked up the whole beans that had been broken, and the three of them hugged three bundles.
The wheat in the next field was fine, not so much, and if you went further, you saw a lot of wheat fields falling one by one.
This year, the output will definitely be reduced, but the tax and grain cannot be paid.
Someone rushed to Pei Qin, saying that he wanted to grow sweet potatoes.
At this time, only the seedlings of sweet potatoes in the field are cut to make seedlings, but there are no sweet potatoes to sell to them to raise seedlings.
Pei Qin estimated that if the Wang family planted 200 acres of land, the Chang family planted 200 acres of land, plus their own small grange, and then sold out, it would not be enough to cut the sweet potatoes in their own fields into baldness.
After thinking about it, Pei Qin gritted her teeth and divided the soy sauce at home into two small jars, took fried peanuts, and arrived at the county seat, first visiting Chang's house, and then visiting Wang's house. Let them not plant sweet potatoes this summer, they can plant autumn sweet potatoes, and after harvesting the sweet potatoes, the land will be empty, or sprinkle with rape, and sell vegetable seedlings in winter. She planted spring soybeans in the spring of the next year, and she harvested all the spring soybeans she planted. Autumn sweet potato seedlings, she gave them for free.
The regular staff thought about it for a while, looked at the black and red soy sauce on the plate, and responded happily. Just because she taught her grandson, it was just for them to grow some spring soybeans, and they didn't lose money.
The Wang family also promised not to plant summer sweet potatoes, and to plant autumn sweet potatoes in a large area, and plant spring soybeans next year, but asked Pei Qin to sell soy sauce to their rice, flour, grain and oil shop.
Pei Qin also agreed directly, and sold the soy sauce to the Wang family, even if she made a few profits, she would make some money, and she would save money and run back and forth to pull customers.
When I returned to the town, I said that the sweet potato seedlings ordered by the Wang family and the regular staff were not planted, and they were allowed to be planted by the villagers, and many people were immediately grateful.
Mrs. Fang said, "If it weren't for Qin'er to take the gift to say the item, then the sweet potato seedlings that have been set up will not be planted, let everyone plant them!" ”
Yu's side; Nguyen's side; Pei Houshan Village Zheng; Fang Hui wants to sell well and ease the relationship, so naturally he also has good words; More in the town, and spread to relatives' homes, and all the villages in ten miles and eight villages are praising Pei Qin.
Chen went to relatives, and her mother's village was also saying that Pei Qin was so good and wanted to plant some sweet potatoes, but she was so angry that she went home and told Zhu to pickle Pei Qin.
Old man Pei pursed his lips and let out a sigh. This is Fang Qian's momentum for their sisters and brothers again!
Fang Lao Xiucai's family doesn't plant summer sweet potatoes anymore, and they plant them first next to other people's families. Their land does not have to pay taxes and grain, and the grain they thrive is enough to eat.
The days were getting hotter day by day, and soon it was May.
Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, the villagers were busy cutting wheat, planting sweet potatoes, cutting wheat, and plowing the land, and the time was a bit rushed.
Sun Quanliang and his father, grandfather and grandson did not sleep at home, and hired two more people to look at the sweet potato seedlings. Someone else secretly pinched sweet potato seedlings.
The people who planted in the vegetable garden before came to inquire, and they could pinch some seeds, and they were all glad that they wanted to plant sweet potatoes and buy less sweet potato seedlings.
Seeing that someone had put the land in order, Pei Qin immediately asked Sun Quanliang's family to prune and divide the trees, according to the situation in each family's field, there must be no more varieties, otherwise they would not be able to divide it.
People from ten miles and eight villages all rushed over, and Fang Laoxiu came to sit in the town and watched with Sun Lizheng.
Soon, the sweet potato seedlings in the field were sparsely pruned and divided, and if they were cut again, the yield would be reduced a lot, so Pei Qin called it a stop.
Some came late and didn't buy sweet potato seedlings, and some complained about dissatisfaction.
Pei Qin asked Sun Quanliang to stare at the sweet potato field, but she couldn't kill the chicken and take the eggs, and cut her sweet potatoes into bald, so she would still collect a fart sweet potato.
After a few busy days, Pei Qian was a little scared. When they promoted it, they didn't want to plant it, and some people felt that sweet potatoes were too abnormal, and the Pei family even used this anomaly to harm their sisters and brothers. Now I see that everyone is buying and planting, and it is simply a robbery. The sweet potatoes in their fields are almost cut bald, and they let them be cut.
Pei Qian scolded for a few days, but they didn't plant in the small grange, so they grabbed two acres of land, and it is estimated that it is not enough to cut autumn sweet potatoes!
Pei Qin let the grange leave the land out, let the spring sweet potatoes be dug up, and in a few days he will go to the grange to raise seedlings of autumn sweet potatoes.
Sun Quanliang's family and the two hired people stared closely at the sweet potato field.
At the foot of Taiping Mountain, Zhang Dacheng's family also kept an eye on it to prevent someone from secretly cutting sweet potato seedlings and going home to make seedlings.
I really caught someone at night, but I didn't catch it, and let people run away.
Several people stayed up in fear until more than six months.
Finally, if Pei Qin comes, the sweet potatoes can be dug up.
In one day, the spring sweet potatoes in the field and the slopes of Taiping Mountain were all dug up. The ground on the slope is not good, and too many seedlings have been cut, and there are less than 1,000 catties per acre of land.
"It's already good to have seven or eight hundred pounds! More than growing grain! Mrs. Fang comforted her sisters and brothers.
"You can harvest a lot of sweet potatoes in the field here!" Yu also said.
The dug sweet potatoes weighed, and there were an average of 17,800 catties per acre of land, but the impact was not great.
"All the seedlings are raised, and it's almost enough to plant autumn sweet potatoes!" Pei Qin is nothing, if you want to promote sweet potatoes, this speed is also fast. I didn't lose anything, and the sweet potato seedlings fell and earned a few taels of silver.
Pei Qian and Pei Qian both felt that they had harvested a lot of sweet potatoes in the spring, and the eldest sister also said that they would try to see if they could receive 3,000 catties, but the result did not rise but fell, and there must be a lot of influence, and they couldn't be so pruning when they turned back.
The sweet potatoes planted by each family are quite vigorous, and the seedlings have grown a lot.
It's getting hotter and hotter, and it's like it's cooking.
The elm tree kept chirping, and the people who called were upset. Like dumplings in the Xiong'er River, many children swim in the river.
Today, I caught up with Mu Xiu, Pei Wendong and Alan Chang sat in the hall to do the question.
The cool air wafted in the room.
Pei Qin sat on the recliner without an image, and there was mung bean soup and stone jelly on the small table at hand. Flipping through a book about ghosts and gods, I read it with relish.
Pei Qian and Pei Qian were also doing needlework on the side.
There was another knock on the door outside, Pei Qian ran to open the door, it was a few of Pei Wendong's classmates, who came to call Pei Wendong to swim.
Nowadays, many people have planted sweet potatoes, and some people have guessed that Shen Songming may be extraordinary, Pei Qin's sister and brother not only made a fortune, Pei Wendong's knowledge is also very good, and the future is bound to be promising. There is also a Chang Alan on the side, who is generous. Many people in the school want to make friends with them and play together.
It's just that Pei Wendong wants to learn martial arts in the morning, and he goes home after school at noon and afternoon, and usually Mu Xiu doesn't come out to play, so only they come to him when they see the opportunity.
Pei Qin supports them to make friends, relying on their parents at home and friends when they go out!
Pei Wendong went out to greet them.
Alan Chang hurriedly put away all the topics he had done, put them in a few cabinets, cleaned up the writing desk, and put two books on it.
A few people laughed and entered the courtyard, and some shouted Chang Yonglin.
Pei Qin asked Pei Qian to bring a few bowls of mung bean soup or stone jelly, and she continued to flip through her book. The ancients of this feudal society are really interesting, the reader shouts strange power on his lips, but he can't believe it in his heart. The common people below are more in awe. Unlike modern times, ghost movies have become funny.
Alan Chang came out and went with them to Pei Wendong's house.
"It's a hot day! Let's go swimming! Young Master Chang, are you going? When asked about Alan Chang, it was inevitable that he was a little ridiculous, he was the little master of Chang Yuan's foreign family, noble, no better than their country boys.
"No, no." Alan Chang directly refused. If he wants to swim in the water, he will swim in his own pond or in the river section of the Zhuangzi, "It is unsightly to strip off his clothes and go into the water on the street." "Besides, he's not hot.
Several people were speechless, "Who is stripping off and going into the water on the street!?" Anyway, let's also enlighten, and those who read the books of the sages can't take off their clothes on the street. The Xiong'er River is so long, we can find a section of the river to swim! Cool off the heat! ”
Pei Qian and Pei Qian came over with stone jelly, "Just eat a bowl of jelly to cool down, don't go down to the river to swim, what if something happens!" ”
"The river is not deep, how can something happen......" Before he finished speaking, several people were attracted by the transparent and crystalline stone powder.
"Why is your jelly like this? Transparent! Sun Chao, the oldest and most active, looked at the cold noodle bowl in surprise.
"That's it, eat to cool down!" Pei Qian smiled and put down the jelly.
Pei Qian specially told Pei Wendong, "It's too dangerous to swim in the river, don't run away!" "This is for Sun Chao to listen to them, don't drag Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin to go. They were both in their teens, and her brother was not even seven years old! Alan Chang is also younger than them. If something happens to them back, they can't afford to pay for it.
Pei Wendong responded and beckoned a few of them to eat stone jelly.
The bowl is cold in the hand, and this stone jelly is even more sweet and sour with mint spiciness, and several people keep exclaiming, "This is really called jelly!" So cool! ”
Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin glanced at each other with a smile and did not explain. If there is ice at home, even if the hot powder is frozen, it will become ice powder. This stone jelly is mainly mint juice and fake sour pulp, which is cooler after being chilled.
After a few people finished eating the stone jelly, they asked their sisters and brothers why they didn't set up a stall to sell this stone jelly, "If there is one for sale, there must be a lot of people queuing up to buy it!" ”
Pei Wendong said, "This thing is not easy to get, not enough to set up a stall." "Their family is not short of this money, and on a hot day, it is even harder for the eldest sister to go out to set up a stall. And it's hard to say that someone found out that there was ice in their house.
Sun Chao thought that he had eaten something very precious, and he wanted to ask for another bowl, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth.
Several people shouted that they had to swim.
Pei Wendong went to the hall to tell Pei Qin, got his approval, and told the second sister and the third sister as well, so he and Chang Yonglin followed a few of them out. It's just that Lu Hao and Chang Yonglin's two guards are with them.
Although it's a bit restrained to follow three people, a few half-sized children are not likely to go crazy.
Pei Wendong went home after school, Mu Xiu didn't come out to play, and he also went to work in the field when he came out, and several people thought he was very unsociable. This time, I swam in the water together, and I also caught fish and frogs to roast and eat outside, but I suddenly felt that Pei Wendong was quite fun, and Alan Chang's young master was not big, but the relationship was a lot closer.
I made an appointment to go up the mountain next time. Pei Wendong pushed. The spring soybeans at home are picked, and Pei Qin wants to make soy sauce, which is equivalent to letting others learn to leave. Pei Qian strongly disagreed, and Pei Qian and Pei Wendong also said that they could do it themselves.
There are a few small radishes to help, and it is almost the same to pull two more strong men. The left and right are not to make all the beans at once, and the continuous ones are not delayed in selling. Pei Qin saw the bean cake come out, and began to get busy.
The preparatory work in the early stage can be handed over to Sun Quanliang's family to do, and when you encounter fine ones later, the ingredients are made into sauce koji, which are all started by the sisters and brothers, and Lu Hao and Lu Hai help to get started.
Last year's soy sauce was almost the same, Pei Qin was busy, and he extracted two cylinders of soy sauce, which is not as good as the original ecological soy sauce that is exposed to the sun and night dew for a year, and the soybeans are a little different from the spring soybeans. Pei Qin set the price, and when he sent peanuts, he went to the county seat with a basket of small jars.
After sending Juxianlou's fried peanuts and stone jelly powder, Pei Qin deliberately went to Zuixianju first.
Zui Xianju got the soy sauce, so he went to the back kitchen to try it out, and Pei Qin sent the soy sauce to Deyue Restaurant and several other restaurants. The price of soy sauce collected by the Wang family will not be high. At that time, these restaurants and restaurants will use soy sauce and buy it directly from her, and she can make more money.
The remaining two jars were sent to the Wang family and the Changyuan family.
It was too hot, and the family didn't let Wang Ting play skateboarding, so they pulled Pei Qin to teach her to play chess, "Anyway, you have to wait for the letter from Drunken Xianju and Deyue Restaurant, it will be very hot again, so let's eat and wait for the next morning to cool before leaving!" ”
Lu Hai, the personal guard on the side, said silently: The Wang family is not cool.
Looking at the chessboard and black and white chess pieces on the table, Pei Qin was embarrassed, "I can't play this kind of brain-burning game!" ”
"That's why I taught you!" Wang Ting said as a matter of course.
"I'm not that material!" Pei Qin said again.
"So learn first!" Wang Ting pulled her to be a little master.
Pei Qin scratched her head, and then attacked with a backhand, and she didn't play Go, she taught Wang Ting to play backgammon and checkers.
When Zhang Yan came over, the two of them were rushing to kill on the chessboard, Wang Ting was defeated repeatedly, and Pei Qin's victory became more and more difficult.
Seeing that the two of them were playing chess, and they only used a few pieces to fight, Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and sat on the Taishi chair on the side to watch the battle.
The little maid brought herbal tea up.
Lu Hai also sat and watched, this would have been learned.
Zhang Yan watched it for a while, and also understood the general rules, and he didn't need to put much effort into it, and he could easily win.
Pei Qin is only a little better at checkers and backgammon, let her play these, it is better to engage in her real yàn.
The two of them took the chess, and Zhang Yan sipped his tea, "Miss Pei is very knowledgeable!" ”
"That's it! Now this society is popular all-rounder! Pei Qin laughed. It's not that it's not easy to mix up all talents!
Zhang Yan looked at her smug look, and when he thought of Shen Songming, his eyes flashed.
Pei Qin went to the big kitchen to see the braised pork made by Jean, and frowned not very satisfied, but the roasted fish was not bad, and the braised pork ribs were not satisfactory.
Looking at her critical eyes, the chef's face is very capable, you will burn it.
Pei Qin didn't cook it for them, made do with a meal, and when she finished eating, she reminded that you should put rock sugar or honey in the roast meat, but you really didn't put some sugar, and don't put too much soy sauce, put too much soy sauce, put salt normally, and the dish will be very salty. And soy sauce is a seasoning, not real oil, and the more you put it, the better it tastes.
Wang Ting wanted her to give it a try, and thought again, "Wait for Mu Xiu, I'll go to Taiping Town!" ”
"Good!" Pei Qin smiled and agreed.
When she came out of the Wang family, Ge Wu rushed up with a single arrow step, with a smile on his face, "Miss Pei!" Remember the little ones? I'm Ge Wu! ”
Pei Qin smiled and nodded, "What's the matter?" ”
Ge Wu smiled, "Our big shopkeeper let the little one wait for you here!" The small one has been waiting for you for two hours, and it's almost dry! "He is still helping the cook, and he sent a guy to fight for the drunken immortal residence, and the big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper were busy, so he let him squat.
The work of the drunken immortal residence over there also rushed over, greeted Pei Qin with a smile, and said that their shopkeeper wanted to order soy sauce, and the money was ready, so he asked Pei Qin to go over and discuss the price.
If it weren't for Pei Qin being a girl's family, the two would have started to pull each other. I really tasted the sweetness, and I was afraid that I would be one step too late and lose to the other party.
The guys from the other two restaurants came over to take a look after the meal, and if they got it, they would definitely not be able to grab anyone, so they could only go to Taiping Town and buy it in the workshop.
The big shopkeeper also wants to take it first and go to the workshop to buy it. It's a pity that the head of the workshop is not at home. The younger siblings in the family can't be the master.
Pei Qin said that he would come first and come later, and went to Deyue Restaurant with Ge Wu.
The big shopkeeper was very polite this time, Pei Qin told them the detailed eating and usage, no less than a dozen, and the dishes made were not only red and beautiful, but also tasted better. Looking at the color of the braised pork, and then looking at the white crooked meat, I suddenly felt that I had no appetite. Good dumplings, dipped in soy sauce, taste more delicious. Not to mention the pork ribs and chicken, duck and fish, it turns out that this is called roast.
Pei Qin smiled the whole time, and the price was kept.
The big shopkeeper also smiled, the price was negotiable, let her not sell the drunken immortal residence, and only sell them Deyue Restaurant.
"Your family has a maximum of two catties a day, and my soy sauce is out of thousands of catties, is it possible that it will fall into the Xiong'er River!?" Pei Qin didn't hide it from him, she didn't want the price to be high, she didn't want to buy it, she didn't want to buy it. She wants to make the soy sauce bigger in the future, but it is not just a place to consume.
As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that this matter could not be alone, and there was no way to be alone, so he signed a contract to send as much soy sauce as he wanted every month, and then a new soy sauce would come out in the future, and he would send them to the Yue Restaurant first.
Pei Qin smiled and accepted the fixed silver, signed, and went to the Drunken Immortal Residence.
Both sides have the same idea, and they are worthy of being two big restaurants fighting, but when it comes to Pei Qin, it is not easy to do it. If soy sauce wants to become a popular condiment like vinegar, it is impossible for any one company to monopolize it.
came out of the drunken immortal residence, and Pei Qin quickly signed the other two restaurants and restaurants.
When I got home, I took more than 30 taels of silver and put it into the account for the housekeeper Pei Qian.
Pei Qin began to prepare to extract soy sauce and was busy in the workshop every day.
When a batch of soy sauce came out, Pei Qin went to deliver peanuts and soy sauce as well, so she pondered that in the future, she couldn't deliver them to their doors every month, she had to find someone to deliver them, or they would pull it themselves.
The townspeople wondered what was going on in her workshop, the obedient smell of sauce.
Pei Qin took advantage of the time to set up a stall, put a jar of soy sauce to sell outside, whoever wanted it, took a jar or a small jar of porcelain bottles to beat, the price of bulk sales is cheap, but the purchase is limited.
"What's the purchase limit?" A woman who inquired about soy sauce asked.
"A family can only beat half a catty! More than that! You'll fight again after you've eaten! Pei Qin explained.
The woman nodded understandingly, this soy sauce is said to be cheap, but it is much more expensive than vinegar, and it is not cheap to beat half a catty, and it is almost catching up with the oil, no wonder it is called soy sauce. It's okay to beat half a catty.
The noodle restaurant also served fried noodles, and when the cold noodles came out, they were no longer yellowish noodles, but red sauce.
I heard that this soy sauce will take more than half a year to be made, and it is only available in restaurants in the county, and people still don't sell it. Pei Qin is sold cheaply in the town, and if you eat fresh, you will come over and beat half a catty.
The owner of the pork shop came over, so he gave Pei Qin a plate of pork ribs and bought two catties back. At home, there are braised pork and braised pork ribs, braised pig's trotters, and braised large intestines, and they are made back and forth.
Those who bought soy sauce and wanted to try their hand at braised pork, so they came over to cut the meat, which made the business of the butcher shop and the business of the fish stall much better.
Pei Qin joked with the eldest sister who sold fish, "There are too many fish sellers, so you have to thank me when you go back and send me a ten-eight!" ”
"Medium! It's no problem for that little white strip to send you eighty! The eldest sister who sells fish also laughed and talked to her.
The small white stripe is the size of a finger.
When the soy sauce was sold, Fang Hui couldn't sit still. The soy sauce she ate at home was still in time before, and she gave up the jar she asked for, and she saw that she was about to finish it. Since last year, Pei Qin has never taken the initiative to think about their family anymore.
Mrs. Fang was angry that she was an aunt and calculated her niece, Pei Qin had a big temper, she couldn't persuade even if she wanted to.
Yu Shi saw her sitting at home wiping her tears, and Mrs. Fang also sighed, so she said, "The second sister has betrothed Feng Bo, take the gift and say some good things, Qin'er is not a hard-hearted person!" ”
Fang Hui felt that Pei Qin was a hard-hearted person, she went to see them several times this year, and each time she was not empty-handed, except for the Chinese New Year, they never came to Fengjiazhuang once.
wants to marry Pei Qin for her son again, even if Fang Hui doesn't want to admit it, she knows that it is hopeless. If she has any more ideas, I'm afraid she will really break off contact. Because Pei Qin's expression is xiàn, he is not afraid of missing a family at all.
Unwillingly, he returned home, and finally relented and told Feng Bo about the matchmaker.
Fengjiazhuang's matchmaker told Feng Bo before, but Fang Hui refused every time, and the people of the Feng family did not accept it, and they could guess that Fang Hui wanted to marry her niece as her daughter-in-law. It's just that the Feng family can't climb up to the now developed Pei family sisters and brothers, no matter how unwilling they are, they still have to go back to the village to find it.
Fortunately, the Feng family relies on Fang Lao Xiucai, does not pay taxes and grain every year, and will not go hungry, in the village, the Feng family is also a solid family, Feng Bo is still working as an errand in the county shop, and it is easy to say that the matchmaker is also easy to say.
The matchmaker here found a few good girls, Fang Hui was not satisfied, so she asked her mother-in-law to pick two good ones, and waited for Feng Bo to come back and look at each other.
Feng Bo was reluctant, but he also knew he had to figure it out. has always been persistent, and the relationship with Pei Qin's family will only get farther and farther away, and he has no hope. I picked one at random, saying that I was busy in the shop, and I came back when I had time, and I went back to the shop.
Fang Hui felt that she was not very satisfied, the girl was a little short, except that she was a little whiter and sharper, she was not as tall as the other one and gentle. It's just that Feng Bo picked it, and her family background is not bad, so she nodded.
As soon as the family was discussed here, Fang Hui came to visit Pei Qin's sister and brother with vegetables and a male duck at home.
Pei Qin was not at home and went to the Grange.
The sweet potatoes were pulled to the grange to raise seedlings, and in the summer the grange did not plant crops from the ground, only some vegetable seeds were sprinkled, and the two farmers cut the vegetables every day and sent them to Deyue Restaurant and Zuixianju, or took them to the county seat to sell.
Now that the ground is turned over, I don't feel sorry for the things I planted. It's just a bit of a relief. If you plant one season of wheat, then two crops of sweet potatoes, and then spring soybeans next year, all the crops will not be able to grow well. There is no chemical fertilizer, only a little manure.
The two families living in the grange are also simple farmers, but they are all lowly, Pei Qin bought them and took care of the small grange.
As soon as the donkey cart arrived at the Grange, the donkey was pulling a soak of dung outside.
A **-year-old boy and the two hurriedly ran over, quickly shoveled up the donkey dung, and put it in the manure pit in the grange.
Pei Qin looked at him and remembered that when she first walked through, Pei Qian was still a fourth, and when she saw the action of Niu Dun Na Lisuo, she almost fought with Lai Han.
"Little radish! What's your name? ”
The tanned little boy looked up at her.
On the side, his grandfather said, "Gua Wazi!" The proprietor asks you! ”
Gua Wazi ...... The corners of Pei Qin's mouth twitched.
"My name is Chen Gua!" The little boy replied.
No wonder it's called a melon baby! Pei Qin nodded and came over to watch them raise sweet potato seedlings.
The sweet potatoes were splashed with water and sprouted before, and they are also good at planting crops, so they planted them without Pei Qin worrying about it.
Pei Qin looked around, gave some reward, and explained his ideas, and left the grange.
Fang Hui looked at the table clock placed at the back of the hall, and the room was also cold and comfortable, so he decided not to leave, eat, and wait for Pei Qin to come back, otherwise if he came back tomorrow, the words would be cold.
Pei Qin couldn't go home.
It rained heavily, and the donkeys didn't go any further.
Lu Hai saw that her slender body was drenched, and the straw hat that shaded the sun didn't matter much at all, and she was struggling to fight against the donkey. Coughing twice, he took the reins and whip, "It's raining so hard, let's go to the City God Temple over there to take shelter!" ”
Pei Qin didn't go, "This day, there is no one on the road, go to the broken temple to shelter from the rain and spend the night, you will meet beautiful women and monsters!" "Didn't Ning Caichen just run into Nie Xiaoqian in the broken temple!? What should I do if it rains all the time?
The corners of Lu Hai's mouth twitched fiercely, "That's not a broken temple, there is incense and temple blessings." "I drove the donkey cart to the City God Temple not far away.
Pei Qin didn't speak, and followed her to the City God Temple.
There are other people in the City God Temple to take shelter from the rain, and there are no beautiful women and monsters. There are two beauties... Man...... Goblin...
