Chapter 173: Traveling to Beijing
Since then, although the Huang family still lives in Yuejing, they have no contact with the DPRK and China, and after Huang's grandfather resigned, he sold some fields and started to trade from south to north. From that time to the present, for three generations, the children and grandchildren of the Huang family, no matter what their academic performance was, did not go to the imperial examination again, and all of them were engaged in business.
However, there must be gains and losses, and the Huang family's business is getting bigger and bigger, involving many aspects such as land, grain, and medicinal materials, and they are basically the bosses of that industry, and vegetables are just a small branch of the Huang family's grain business.
Huang's grandfather lived in the house rewarded by the Emperor Taishang because he was named a general, and he was originally a poor family in the countryside of other provinces, his parents died early, and he had no brothers and sisters. At that time, Huang's grandfather did not have many heirs, perhaps because of the perennial war abroad, only the father of the current five merchants - Huang Dawei. Therefore, the Huang family actually has very few people. It wasn't until Huang Dawei's generation, in addition to his wife, who married a few concubines and gave birth to these five brothers, that the Huang family had a little more people.
In fact, vegetable trading is nothing for the Huang family, just let one person take over, but Huang Dawei in order to avoid unnecessary disputes between brothers and reflect its fairness, he divided it to the five brothers, in fact, the purchase and payment are Huang Dawei himself, but he is called the five brothers to the outside world, because he thinks that sooner or later he will return to the sky, the Huang family has a big business, if you don't manage these five boys from an early age, and distribute the property well, I am really afraid that the Huang family's family business will be destroyed because of internal brother disputes.
Because it's still early. Ye Xiaoyu and the others had nothing to do when they got out of the car, and they thought that they had never been to the unloading place, so they still sat in the carriage and went to the unloading yard with Uncle Yang.
The yard is located next to the street in the northern district of Yuejing, and the traffic is very convenient, and when Ye Xiaoyu and the others arrived there, there were already two guys waiting there to unload.
Because it is summer, it is the peak season for vegetables, and Lu Yishou has added more than ten acres of land to plant, so the variety and quantity of vegetables in the field have increased all of a sudden. A full ox cart can be transported every day. Sometimes even two cars have to be installed. If it is at this time, it is generally sunny and Uncle Yang who each drive one. Today, because Ye Xiaoyu and they are coming, yesterday Lu Yishou deliberately told the field to collect less, and vacated a carriage for Ye Xiaoyu and them to sit. Anyway, things like cucumbers, sweet potato vines, etc. Let it live in the ground for one more day and not break down.
To be unloaded. After acceptance. It's just getting a little brighter. After Qinglang put away the supply order, he was silent on the side, as if he was asking Ye Xiaoyu what he was going to do.
Ye Xiaoyu's plan today is to take Liu Mei'er to see the common clothes on Yuejing Street. So that she can have a bottom in her heart when she goes back to make clothes. Anyway, they are all wandering on the street, since Lu Qian and they are all here, then take this opportunity to visit Yuejing, but it is summer now, the weather is too hot, Ye Xiaoyu plans to take advantage of the cool weather in the morning to stroll around, and later find a teahouse on the street to rest, and it is okay to sit in the teahouse to "watch" pedestrians.
The carriage and ox cart were parked in the yard where the goods were unloaded in the North District, and Uncle Yang was too lazy to go shopping because he was old, so he rested directly in the carriage. The rest went shopping. Qinglang didn't seem to want to go very much, but she couldn't withstand Ye Xiaoyu's "warm invitation", so she silently followed behind them.
"The capital is so lively, but the Tanabata Festival must be more lively than now, it's a pity to miss it......"
Liu Yu glanced at Lu Qian, who was walking beside him, and said pointedly.
At the beginning of the Qixi Festival, Lu Qian was very happy to agree, but then for some reason, as soon as he heard him say that "the night view of Yuejing during the Lantern Festival is also very beautiful", Lu Qian's face became different, not only did he not talk to him for several days, but also stopped mentioning the matter of Qixi Festival. Even if Liu Yu tried to find a lot of topics about Qixi Festival, Lu Qian either didn't have the anger to push him, or just ignored him. Qixi Festival is just such a day, and it has passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Yu has accepted his fate and stopped talking. But now that he has come to Yuejing, he reminds him of this incident again.
"It's a fart to be lively, and I'm not from Yuejing, so I can't go home in the end......"
Lu Qian glanced at Liu Yu angrily. It has been so long since that incident, that person has disappeared for so long, and Liu Yu is with her every day, she is really sure that she is no longer entangled, but when she comes here again, she still feels very uncomfortable.
"The sun is out, let's go to the teahouse in front of us and sit down, and order something to eat by the way......"
Lu Qian was so unhappy, Ye Xiaoyu knew that it was estimated that the old place would be revisited, and it reminded her of that incident, and she happened to see a teahouse in front of her, so she wanted to change the topic and mention that she would go to the teahouse to sit.
I set off too early today, and the little I ate at that time had already been digested, I don't know what the others are like, anyway, Ye Xiaoyu is hungry now.
The group entered the teahouse, and there were not too many guests in the teahouse in the morning, under the leadership of the shopkeeper, Ye Xiaoyu picked a window position on the second floor and sat down. After the five of them sat down, they casually ordered some snacks. The shopkeeper retreated with interest.
Because Liu Meier has a special "task", Ye Xiaoyu specially arranged for her to sit by the window, although you can also see pedestrians on the street from other positions, but the window always sees more clearly.
This is the first time that Liu Meier has looked at the capital so seriously since she grew up, because of embroidery, she has been here a few times before, but every time she goes straight to the destination, there is no time to sit in the teahouse leisurely like this and look at the bustling pedestrians on the street.
Thinking of her previous self, her life in the past half a year has been like a dream, since she came to Lujiazhuang to meet Ye Xiaoyu for the first time, her life has all changed, becoming more fulfilling and easier. Now, as long as she goes to work in Lujiazhuang on time every day and works hard to complete the work that should be completed, she can get a good salary, and she doesn't have to worry about other things at all. Although Ye Xiaoyu is not as old as her, for Liu Meier, she is like a life-saving benefactor, making her life look new. For Ye Xiaoyu's kindness, Liu Meier has nothing to repay, so she can only work harder to do her job well and be fine.
There were fewer customers, and the kitchen moved a lot faster, and after a while, the shopkeeper brought all the prepared dim sum.
said that it was a casual order, but because he was too hungry, and there were so many people here, Ye Xiaoyu ordered a lot in one breath just now. After the shopkeeper finished, the table was full of all kinds of dim sum, including pastries, meatballs, crispy chicken, and some other things that Ye Xiaoyu couldn't tell what it was, hot, fragrant, all so cooked, Ye Xiaoyu didn't bother to say hello, she was so hungry, so she took the chopsticks and ate directly.
"Ye Xiaoyu, I didn't expect you to be quite good at ordering, these things taste pretty good."
Lu Qian said in a vague tone while stuffing the red date cake into his mouth.
"Well, I think this crispy chicken is also delicious."
Liu Yu was eating, and Lu Qian was at the same time.
"Hey, aren't you ashamed, a man still said so loudly that it was delicious......
Hearing Liu Yu say that it was delicious, Lu Qian also picked up a piece of chicken, but he still didn't talk about him angrily.
"I'm just praising the deliciousness, how can it have anything to do with shame and men? Don't you boast about it......"
"You're in disgrace!!"
Lu Qian glanced at Liu Yu, who was full of grievances, and felt funny in her heart, but she still replied strongly.
Ye Xiaoyu buried her head in hardship, and didn't care what the two people next to her said, anyway, Ye Xiaoyu didn't need to listen to the content of Lu Qian and Liu Yu's conversation now, and she showed her affection in disguise every day, and she didn't consider Ye Xiaoyu's feelings as a "single dog" at all.
While eating and chatting here, Qinglang, who had been sitting next to him and had been silent, suddenly stood up and walked downstairs.
"Look, you're so embarrassed that even people can't stand you......"
Seeing that Qinglang went downstairs, Lu Qian pointed to Liu Yu and said.
"Isn't it because you're too noisy?"
Liu Yu said, and moved his body to the side, for fear of being punched downstairs by Lu Qian.
"You've got itchy skin, aren't you?"
Lu Qian gestured and drew a fist and pointed at Liu Yu.
Maybe people are sunny just to relieve themselves, Ye Xiaoyu silently rolled her eyes in her heart, the way these two people get along like this every day is indeed novel enough.
The group chatted like this, and sat in the teahouse until noon, and the time was almost up, Ye Xiaoyu planned to go downstairs to settle the account and return to Quanxiu Village. Although it's still early, it's good to go to the North District to take a car, so many people, this delay, that delay, to Lujiazhuang will be evening.
This snack Ye Xiaoyu ordered was very refreshing, and the food just now was also very refreshing, and it was not bad to sit by the window and enjoy the scenery. But when she went to the counter downstairs, when the shopkeeper took the menu and told her the price, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly couldn't laugh. There are a lot of things, but it's just one table, and they are all pastries with low raw material costs, and they cost 5 taels of silver!! If he knew that it was so expensive, even if Ye Xiaoyu starved to death, he wouldn't enter this teahouse.
And the most important thing is that she Ye Xiaoyu only brought a total of 6 taels of silver today, which cost 5 taels, and she felt that her heart was no longer as simple as dripping blood.
"Don't pay it, the boy just now has already paid it. Because you asked, I will tell you the price again. ”
Just as Ye Xiaoyu was shaking and reaching out to take out the money in her purse, the shopkeeper continued with a smile, and pointed to the sunny sky who was standing at the door and was about to leave. (To be continued......)
PS: Accumulate steps to reach far, and Fei Qinhui to achieve. On the first day of the new year, I wish you all a new harvest every day in the Year of the Goat. (╯3╰)
