Chapter 47: Night Visit
When the news came out that Shi Ziye didn't want to be disturbed, a team of gray-clothed guards immediately surrounded the Mo family's courtyard, and after He Liansheng's brothers and sisters were sent away, and then the villagers came over, all of them were intercepted a hundred meters away from the courtyard, even Mo Lao Xiucai was no exception.
"I'm Xiucai!" Mo Lao Xiucai said.
"Show is a fart! Lao Tzu is a seven-grade school captain! The guard disdained, and Mo Lao Xiucai's old face was swollen.
Xiucai only has the qualifications to step into the official career, and he is nothing in front of the high-ranking court officials, not to mention that there are many scholars in the capital, and there are not a few Xiucai in any village, which is really not rare and intimidating.
Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and Mei Niang followed behind Mo Lao Xiucai, full of joy, thinking that they had the opportunity to get close to the nobles, who would have thought that they would not even reach the edge of the yard, and they would be driven away like dogs, and even the reputation of Xiucai, who is usually proud, is not good.
And these are the nests, they all shrank their heads and didn't dare to say a word at the moment, Mo Laoxiu was about to say that he was the old man of the family, and the guards were already impatient to chase him away, "Hurry up, hurry up!" If you mess around again, you will be guilty of colliding with the court officials! ”
Mo Laoxiu left, his back was very lonely, with deep frustration, he returned home and sat on the kang, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes kept looking outside, but until it was dark, he didn't look forward to the person he was waiting for.
Didn't Shubai think of his grandfather? I thought about it, but he didn't invite it, people just passed by to borrow a place to eat and rest, Uncle Cheng and the village chief couldn't serve the table, why bother to call the old man to suffer, Shubai was kind, but he didn't expect to be resented by the old man because of this.
The meal prepared by Li Niang was swept away and highly praised, Zhang Xin and his party left after eating and drinking, Du Li wanted to give a processing fee, Shubai resolutely did not want to, Du Li knew that he was not short of money now, so he gave up on one or two, but before leaving, he let the servants leave two pheasants and a rabbit.
Sent off the distinguished guests, Li Niang reorganized a table of wine and food to entertain Uncle Cheng and the family of Village Chief Li, fortunately there is the prey left by Du Li, otherwise it is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, and you can't just eat bean sprouts and leafy vegetables when you invite people to eat.
Uncle Cheng's chopsticks first ran to the soybean sprouts, such a fresh dish had already attracted his attention, and the taste was unique after the entrance, "Oh, it's delicious, what kind of dish is this?" ”
"It's bean sprouts." Li Niang smiled, "It was a Taoist who passed by who taught me to do it." ”
Uncle Cheng wants Liniang to supply bean sprouts, but Liniang doesn't want to do this business, the Mo family is a family of cultivators and scholars, and it's okay to farm and sell agricultural products, but the long-term business of selling bean sprouts is not good, and it may affect Shubai's career in the future.
Li Niang didn't want to do the bean sprouts business, but she was willing to provide the recipe for free and give the business to the village chief's family, or Uncle Cheng could learn to go back and make bean sprouts by himself.
After hearing about the cost of bean sprouts and the approximate profit, Uncle Cheng was not interested, wasting manpower, material resources and time for this small profit, he thought it was not worth it, he would rather order from the village chief Li, and he could also get a lot of profit margin by selling the materials after processing.
Village Chief Li and Li Daniu's family currently have no talents, and suddenly getting the way to make money feels like silver falling from the sky, which makes them dizzy, and the family came back to their senses for a long time, and thanked Shubai and Li Niang, Uncle Cheng was also happy, and signed a bean sprout supply contract with the Li family on the spot.
After Uncle Cheng left, Li Niang taught the Lin family and the Jiang family how to make bean sprouts, and warned them to pay attention to secrecy, after all, there are too many smart people in the world, and it won't be long before someone thinks of bean sprouts, and they have a short-term time advantage.
After nightfall, the people who carried water by the river were gone, and Shubai went to put two fish baskets at the request of Li Niang, one large and one small, and then the big fish were put into the ring for standby, and the small fish were dried, mainly to prevent the recurrence of today's situation, and a temporary guest could also respond to the emergency.
A crescent moon hung on the treetops, the small bend village was completely quiet, four horses with hooves quietly passed through the village and came to the door of the Mo family at the end of the village, four people got off the horse, one of them stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and Shubai, who was still weaving a cushion under the lamp, was immediately alert, he quickly put things away, grabbed a bolt and asked in a low voice: "Who?" ”
"I, Duley."
Shubai frowned after being surprised, why did he come again, why didn't he say anything during the day, and secretly made a name for himself.
As soon as the door opened, Du Li nodded, and the four of them were all dressed in black and led the horse and fish in, and when they saw Zhang Xin, Shubai was shocked again, and there was no surprise to the waiter and Du Zhong in the back.
After entering the four people and four horses, Shubai poked his head out, Du Zhong smiled, "No, Mo Gongzi, there are only four." ”
Shubai nodded, bolted the door, Du Li and Zhang Xin threw the horse rope to their respective little guys, came over to salute Shubai, Du Li smiled: "Brother Shubai, meet again." ”
"Let's talk about it in the house." Shubai led the two boys who didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran out to wander around to the main room, he had a headache, it stands to reason that he wanted to accompany the guests, so he had to call Li Niang up to serve tea and pour water, but at this time Li Niang should have gone to heaven, what should I do.
For the sake of his sister, Shubai decided to snub for a while, he lit the lamp, gave up his seat, pretended not to think about pouring tea, and directly asked the two sons why they visited late at night?
Zhang Xin said: "Don't look at me, I'm here with him." ”
Du Li said: "Hehe, I have something I want to ask Miss Mo, there are many people during the day and I don't dare to disturb, I don't know if it is convenient now?" ”
Inconvenience! Shubai shouted in his heart, but he could only say in his mouth: "My sister has always slept heavily, and she can't wake up after thunder, so she can only try to shout." ”
"There's Brother Lao Shubai." Du Li bowed his hand, this attitude is too sincere, I have to see it, Shubai smiled bitterly in his heart and knocked on his sister's door.
Of course, Li Niang is not in the house, she is very tired after a busy day today, but she still has to go to work in Xianzhuang, she does not live much after the potatoes are planted, but she has to water and weed every day, and she is done in an hour, and then she rests in the wooden house.
Sleeping in the heavenly court is more comfortable than sleeping in the mortal world, and today the wine fairy and the owner of the village are not there, and she sleeps soundly with the quilt in the guest room assigned to her.
When Shubai knocked on the door, the ring on Liniang's hand emitted light and heat, flashing like a signal light, she was burned awake, and when she saw the strange appearance of the ring, her heart moved, and suddenly she had a kind of realization that someone at home was looking for her.
Quickly got up and folded the quilt, made the bed, and then touched the ring and returned home, before her brother died, Li Niang opened the door, "Brother, what's wrong." ”
Seeing his sister who was rubbing her eyes and sleepy, Shubai wiped the sweat on her forehead, "I slept really deeply, there was a guest at home, and Mr. Du said that he was looking for you for something." ”
Li Niang softly said Du Li's name, and Shubai nodded.
ps: There is a change at four o'clock this afternoon, I wish my friends a happy Dragon Boat Festival in advance.
