When he wanted to clamp it again, the plate was empty, as I said before, the dishes on Shen Lan's dinner table were all delicate and fine, so the amount of these dishes was not much, this braised pork was already greasy, Shen Lan didn't like to eat it very much, and occasionally ate only one or two pieces, and people knew the master's appetite, so the amount of cooking was not much, so it was not uncommon for each person to eat one or two pieces of meat and it was gone.

Naturally, there is not only one braised pork on the table, but the other dishes are also delicious, but everything is eaten one or two bites and it is gone, which is somewhat disappointing, but it can't say anything, after all, it is a guest in someone's house, how can it be said that people are not well entertained, how ugly it is.

There is also the Song family who empathizes with the uncle of the Wang family, naturally these people will not be patient, so just after eating, Song Ruhai said unsatisfied: "Dalang daughter-in-law, your food here tastes good, why don't you have a few bites of everything, you can't enjoy eating, I will come with your mother in the future, but it can't be like this." ”

What, this Song Ruhai wants to live in, Shen Lan was so shocked that she sweated, and she couldn't help but repulse in her heart.

"Father, mother, I don't have a problem with you living here, but what about the fields and land at home?" Shen Lan didn't show it on her face, and asked with a faint smile.

"Isn't there Wang Zheng? He took care of the house and the fields in the countryside. Song Ruhai, who is now used to enjoying it, said such a sentence lightly.

"Niece and daughter-in-law, you can't live a good life here, leave your father and mother in the countryside to live a hard life, you said that you are living such a rich life, why should you help your father and mother?" Uncle Wang naturally spoke with a standpoint.

At this time, in front of outsiders, Shen Lan was reluctant to fight with Song Ruhai, and besides, could they live in if they wanted to? Just don't cry and beg to leave.

"No, I don't live here, I'm going back. To live here, you live here. Song Wangshi did not forget what happened to him here, and immediately spoke out against it.

"Little sister, what nonsense are you talking about, you see how good your nephew and daughter-in-law are, and they are bright, and what you eat, wear, and use is not good. Don't be blessed and unreceiving. Uncle Wang immediately shouted at his sister. Song Wang's voice was suddenly silent, after all, it was his brother, and Song Wang's Sapo didn't dare to lie to his brother. So nothing was said.

Shen Lan didn't say anything when she saw this, but just instructed the Xu family how to arrange the accommodation, and there were many people who came this time, so she arranged for the uncle of the Wang family to live in the west chamber. Song Ruhai and his wife live in the East Wing, and Song Juan sisters live in Shen Wei's house. Shen Wei lived with Shen Mei, so that almost all the houses were full.

Shen Lan didn't do anything this night, and after breakfast the next day, the Song couple and the uncle of the Wang family were ordered by Shen Lan to send Shen Er back. Even if Song Ruhai wanted to live, Shen Lan said that it was impossible to live now, and she would have to wait for her to vacate the house. Let's talk about it when the time comes, in addition, Song Ruhai was originally here to pick up people. If you don't bring people back, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain, so the group still went back first.

Seeing off the Song family, Shen Lan let out a long sigh, as for Song Ruhai's plans, Shen Lan was ready to ignore them for the time being, no matter what, even if they wanted to live here, it would be impossible for them to make the trip immediately, so Shen Lan was ready to ignore it for now, and then try to deal with them when they really wanted to come over.

So after the people left, Shen Lan instructed Shen Changhai to find Shen Changsheng, if Shen Changhai is Shen Lan's inner courtyard housekeeper and guard, then Shen Changsheng is Shen Lan's outer courtyard housekeeper, Shen Lan not only handed over the matter of planting oil tea to him, but also he was in Zhangluo to prepare for the opening of a grain shop, and the store that opened the shop had already been rented, and Shen Changsheng had been in Zhangluo for decoration and recruitment.

When Shen Changsheng came, Shen Lan happened to be lying on the couch in his room to read, rather than doing needlework, Shen Lan prefers to read, although it is not a serious book, but it feels good to take a book and turn the book on the couch, books that are used to vernacular Chinese, now it is still a bit obscure to read ancient texts, there is no Kangxi dictionary in this era, it is difficult to look it up, but Shen Lan's own ability to understand the text is okay, and even guessing with Meng can still read the book for three or four points Cheng dù.

So usually a book has to be read for a long time to barely understand the meaning, and some have to be read several times to understand, but there is no entertainment in this era, so Shen Lan can also relieve a little boredom by reading books, and now Shen Changsheng is here, Shen Lan is naturally not good to see him in the inner room, so she got up and rearranged her clothes and hair before going out to see her.

When Shen Lan entered the outer study, Shen Changsheng was sitting inside drinking tea, and when he saw Shen Lan coming in, he hurriedly got up and said, "Master." ”

Shen Lan nodded and motioned for him to sit back, and then walked to the main seat and sat down.

After Shen Lan sat down, Shen Changsheng asked, "What's the matter with the master looking for me?" ”

"I just want to ask you, have you done everything at the grain store?" Shen Lan asked.

"The shopkeeper and the men have been hired, the shop has been renovated, and the warehouse for storing grain has been put in place, but there is no grain to sell now." Shen Changsheng said, in fact, he knows the master's ability, if you want to say that the master must have a lot of food, but there was a drought last year, and now the new grain has not been harvested, and the newly opened shop has a large amount of grain for sale, which will definitely attract people's eyes, so although the shop is ready, it did not start business immediately.

Shen Lan naturally knew about this situation, so she didn't urge Shen Changsheng, and now she asked because she saw that the grain was about to be harvested, and it was a good time to harvest the grain, so she asked Shen Changsheng about the shop.

"Okay, I know, this new grain is about to go on the market, and it will definitely not work to rely on Song Wenyou to raise food for us alone, and you also know that food is not a troublesome thing for me here, but now I have to find a way to get a legitimate reason to sell the grain over there, otherwise it will not be good for people to know." At this time, Shen Lan did not recruit anyone to serve, so there were only two people in the room, she and Shen Changsheng, and there was nothing to avoid.

Shen Changsheng naturally knew that it was because there was no legitimate reason that the new shop was not opened, and at this time, he heard Shen Lan mention it, so he said: "Master, it's better to wait for the new grain to go on the market, and I will take someone to buy some grain in other places." How about another tanuki for the prince to cover people's eyes and ears? ”

"Oh, what do you mean?" Shen Lan looked at Shen Changsheng.

"I still receive grain, but I don't collect much, most of it is filled with sand and gravel in sacks, and when it is in the warehouse, the master can replace the sand and gravel." Shen Changsheng explained.

Hearing this, Shen Lan's eyes suddenly lit up. How did she not think of it. Anyway, no one saw the grain, and after entering the warehouse, no one knew whether it was grain or sand and gravel that went in, which was a good method. So he smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's a good idea, but I'm afraid you can't do this matter yourself, but it's a matter of the shop and the mountain here." I wonder if you can throw it away? ”

"Master, isn't there still a long sea? Besides, there are shopkeepers and men in the shop, and the things on the mountain are not troublesome for him to run every day, so it must be no problem to hand them over to him. Shen Changsheng replied with a smile. He and Shen Changhai are from the same place, although Shen Changhai has no talent in business, but his martial arts are very high. This is the main reason why the master kept him by his side.

Shen Lan thought about it and felt that it was indeed not a big deal. Besides, there is still his own town here, if there is anything he can handle, Shen Changhai is just running errands, so he readily agreed, the transportation in this era is inconvenient, although the grain has not been harvested yet, but it is best for Shen Changsheng to set off now, otherwise wait until the grain is harvested and then go out to buy grain, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold.

"Okay, in the next two days, you will go to other counties to see, you can collect as much as you can, just to make a show, but before that, I have to trouble you to go to Jixian County, I have a pearl here, you send it to Jia Xiangtian for me." Shen Lan then commanded.

"Yes." Shen Changsheng has lived on Shen Lan's space island since he was a child, and naturally knows that Shen Lan has a lot of pearls in his hands, this kind of thing that is a rare treasure for people outside, but it is not rare in Shen Lan's eyes.

Then Shen Lan took out a bunch of pearls from the space, and simply packed them in a wooden box, the pearls in the wooden box were not exquisite, the largest was only the size of a soybean, and some of them were not round enough, Shen Lan took out such pearls for a reason, rare and expensive, those large and round pearls in her hand, Shen Lan didn't plan to take them out, one of those beads was too eye-catching, easy to cause disasters, and the other was that ordinary people could not afford to consume, and this pearl of poor quality was different, It is easy to sell if the product is a little different, and it will not attract the covetousness of others.

After handing over the wooden box full of pearls to Shen Changsheng, Shen Lan thought that there was nothing else to do, so she asked Shen Changsheng to do something, so Shen Changsheng took the wooden box out of Shen's house, and Shen Lan had nothing to do, so she simply went back to the house and continued to read.

After leaving the Shen Mansion, Shen Changsheng did not go directly to the Jia Mansion, after all, Shen Lan did not intend to let outsiders know that the two sides were related from the beginning, so unless it was in the future, it was impossible for the two sides to have any contact on the surface because of business matters, so although the matter of sending pearls needed to be handled as much as possible, he did not plan to do it immediately, but planned to ask Jia Xiangtian to come out, and hand over these beads after avoiding the eyes and ears, naturally in addition to handing over these beads, I also have to talk to Jia Xiangtian about the situation in Jiafu these days, after all, it is also the master's industry, and after all, I still have to let the master have a bottom in his heart.

So in the evening, Shen Changsheng secretly entered Jia's Mansion, and then after talking with Jia Xiangtian secretly, he handed Shen Lan a pearl that he brought to Jia Xiangtian and took it out. After the beginning of the year, Jia Xiangtian simply took the two people left by Shen Lan and went directly to Jinzhou Mansion with money.

Jinzhou Mansion is the state capital above Jixian County, and is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, both land and water are very developed, there are many businessmen from the south to the north, and there are many natural fleets and caravans, Jia Xiangtian went to Jinzhou Mansion to see if there is any business to do, he has money in his hands and is not afraid of doing business at no cost, although he is a novice, but he is clever, and he also has a business mind, so in less than half a year, he really did a few businesses, although the money he made was not very much, but it slowly opened up the situation, compared to Shen Lan can only stay in the inner house, As a man, Jia Xiangtian is more powerful.

This time Shen Lan took out the pearls and handed them to Jia Xiangyu, but for Jia Xiangyu, it was easier to sell than Shen Lan, a woman in the house, so Shen Lan took out the things without any pressure, and when Shen Changsheng sent them to him, Jia Xiangtian was immediately happy, although he could only make a small fuss in Jixian County, but with this batch of pearls, he could go to Jinzhou Mansion to trade and trade with the merchants who came and went from south to north over there, and slowly started the business, and when the time came, he could open a shop in Jinzhou Mansion, and it would be better to return to the big state capital.

So Shen Lan's batch of pearls is really timely rain for Jia Xiangtian, Jia Xiangtian doesn't think it's so unusual for pearls, but he already knows now that pearls are very rare outside, so he plans to open a silver building in Jinzhou, these pearls can be made into good-looking jewelry and sold in the shop, as for gold and silver, he is not short of money in his hands, but jade is more difficult to get, but he has met a lot of businessmen in Jinzhou in the past half a year, and it is not difficult to get some finished jade from others.

The most troublesome thing to open a silver building is actually a craftsman, at this time everything is about inheritance, it is not easy to learn good technology, and talents with good skills are usually retained by the shop, if Jia Xiangtian wants to find a good craftsman, it is indeed not easy, so it still takes a lot of effort in this regard, but he plans to start at the beginning can only find some ordinary craftsmen for the time being, as for the future, it depends on fate.

Moreover, Jia Xiangtian also knows that he doesn't have excellent craftsmen and masters in his hands, and he can't compare to those time-honored shops, but he can't stand a large number of pearls in his hands, pearls are not uncommon in Shen Lan's previous era, and they are not rare in Shen Lan's space, but they can't stand the pearls in this era are still very rare, even if the pearls in Jia Xiangtian's hands are not in good condition, they can make rare things, and there are enough pearls in his hands. It is completely possible to use the batch of pearls given by Shen Lan to slowly open up the situation, so when he got these pearls, Jia Xiangtian immediately had a plan, so he didn't have to worry about doing business.
