The shop is not full of manpower, and I can't be busy making tofu these days, so the glutinous rice and rice I bought are soaked, and after soaking, I use it to grind it.

When it was the day of the first trip to the Peach Blossom Spring, the carriage hired by the shopkeeper came to the shop early to call them.

"Shopkeeper, this is bothering you!" Chen Chunhua and the third child carried the things and loaded the carriage, and the shopkeeper hurriedly took a hand and said. "There's nothing troublesome, if you say it's troublesome, I want to thank you, what kind of glutinous rice ribs you have, there are many people who have a good business these days, and there are many people who eat!"

Chen Chunhua heard this and said with a smile. "It's not all my credit, it's not the shopkeeper's this is a time-honored brand, where can it be pulled with just a few dishes!"

The shopkeeper just smiled and didn't say anything more. This businessman naturally understands the doorway here, if the owner of this tofu shop also opens a restaurant, then it is not easy to say!

Chen Chunhua has never considered opening a restaurant, firstly, the money is not enough, and secondly, opening a restaurant is indeed very tiring, and she doesn't like this piece!

The three of them got into the carriage, sitting in the carriage a little smaller, Qiu Ju lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. "This carriage is good, much faster than an ox cart!" Qiu Ju rarely took a carriage once, and the first time she took the carriage, she followed Erzhu to pick up the hurried work and hired her.

"That's nature, although this horse and the cow are the same animals, their role is not in the same place!" Chen Chunhua thought of the ox cart and couldn't help but sigh that in modern times, the oxen were used to plough the land, and with the discovery of the society, slowly. Cattle are no longer needed in the cultivated land, and they become a delicacy on the table.

"Oh? I don't know what the girl said? And the treasurer heard this. couldn't help but look at Chen Chunhua, I really wanted to hear what she said.

Chen Chunhua smiled and shook her head. Road. "What can I say, isn't this just looking at the big body of the cow and the strong body of the horse!" You can't take out the modern one, right? Speaking of this cow, Chen Chunhua suddenly thought of rice. "Why don't we grow rice here?" Although it belongs to the north, it is not exactly, it is not arid, it is cold, and it is similar to her hometown, I really don't know this.

"Sister-in-law. Why do you ask that? Qiu Ju listened to Chen Chunhua's words and said with a smile. This is a stuffy talk, why don't we plant rice, this rice is not good for us, my mother's family planted a year that year, and the harvest of one acre of land is less than 200 catties, or it is planted several acres of potatoes and melons, and the grain is not enough that year! ”

Less than 200 catties per acre of land is indeed too little, I remember my grandfather's field to harvest rice. An acre of land can be thousands of catties, and almost eight or nine hundred, of course, the difference lies in fertilizer.

"Food? Why don't I know that I still have to pay for food? "The memory of the original owner did not give bread, but I heard it once.

The third child looked at his daughter-in-law. Road. "We paid grain before the autumn harvest last year, and you didn't come here at that time, so you accepted 300 catties of corn!"

"Three hundred pounds?"

"It's fine. In the first two years, the grain was calculated according to the population of each household, and one person was counted as one hundred catties. If there are many people in this house. That would be a big loss, if you catch up with the drought. God doesn't rain, I can't eat enough, where is the food to pay! ”

Chen Chunhua didn't say anything more when she heard this, she still has a lot of things she doesn't know much, but this kind of rice should be tried, plowing the field, sowing seedlings and harvesting, these she will, she will do things since she was a child, I still remember that the first time she went to the field when she was a child was seven years old, Sister Chen went back to her grandfather's house to be busy in the spring, she was called to pull the seedlings, at first she felt strange and fun, and she never wanted to do things in the field again when she grew up.

It was fast to take a carriage to the county seat, and she entered the city in more than half an hour, and looked at the two big characters written on the city gate, but she didn't recognize it. "Shopkeeper, I don't recognize this word, what's it called?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the city gate and said. "The word "people" is written on the gate of the city, and our county is also called the city of the people!"

"The City of the People?" Chen Chunhua was a little confused.

"We have hundreds of surnames in this county, and I heard that the city of the previous generation was not called the city of the people, as for what it is called, I forgot it, this is still changed later!"

"I see!"

When the carriage entered the city, the shopkeeper had said something to the charioteer, and after a while, the carriage stopped, and said. "The groom brought you to the Peach Blossom Spring, I still have something to do here, I know the owner of a shop over there in the Peach Blossom Spring, and I have said hello in advance, you go to it!"

"Alas, thank you shopkeeper!"

"No thanks, you guys hurry up, there are not many people at the moment, and it will be more lively tomorrow!"

Chen Chunhua is the first time to come to the county, this city and the town are very different, look at the street people come and go, there are many vendors selling guys and things, Qiu Ju sees one from time to time, so he pats this Chen Chunhua and asks her to take a look together.

"Sister-in-law, what is that, it looks delicious!" Qiu Ju stood up violently as she spoke, and her head slammed into the roof of the carriage, Chen Chunhua pulled her to sit down, rubbed the place where she hit the pain, and said. "Qiu Ju, what are you doing, wait until you're done over there and then come out for a good look!"

Qiu Ju's aching eyes were filled with tears, and she nodded tearfully and grinned. "Sister-in-law, you're so nice!"

Chen Chunhua shook her head helplessly, she is not good to people for no reason, this person is the same to her and she is to you!

The shopkeeper said that the shop was a shop that bought fabrics, got down from the carriage, stood at the door and looked, only to see a middle-aged man standing in the shop, the man raised his eyes to look outside the shop, put down the account book in his hand and walked out, and said. "Take a look at the shop, I bought a lot of new goods yesterday, and the price is not expensive!"

"Hello shopkeeper, do you know the shopkeeper of Fengxiang Restaurant?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he said. "Recognize, are you not the person he said, called Chen Chunhua?"

"Yes, I'm Chen Chunhua!"

"Oh, that's it, I've heard a lot from the shopkeeper of Fengxiang Restaurant, and I've cleaned up the yard behind this shop for you, although the yard is used, if you need anything else, tell me!"

Chen Chunhua nodded. Road. "Thank you, shopkeeper!"

"Cheng, then you will come with me!" After speaking, he led Chen Chunhua and Qiu Ju into the courtyard. The third child moved the guys from the carriage, and the groom drove away without saying anything.

The yard is not small. It's not much bigger than her shop. On the way to come, the shopkeeper told her that this shop would cost one or two silver dollars to rent for three days or four days, and she didn't think that there would be free land for her to use.

"Then I'm going to bother you. I gave you this money first, and I'm afraid I forgot it later! Chen Chunhua said, took out a tael of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Cheng, then you are so resting, the door over there can be opened, if you go out and go directly to the other side, you will be on the street!" The shopkeeper took the money and went to the front shop to get busy.

Chen Chunhua looked at the three rooms one by one and said. "Qiu Ju, you just live on the side, and I live with my third brother. That little shelving thing! ”

Qiu Ju didn't say anything, nodded, and took her own belongings into the house.

The third child also moved things in, and said. "Daughter-in-law. Isn't it time to get busy tonight? ”

"Alas, don't panic first, get everything ready and put it away. I'll take a look later! "I just saw a lot of food on the street, what kind of oil cakes? Steamed buns, baked cakes or something are not lively.

The shopkeeper said. You can't do business at the edge of this peach garden, if you are seen, you must drive people, this business is nothing more than taking advantage of this lively energy, since everyone over there can't go, there is no food, so naturally they come here.

She looked at the door of the fabric shop, which was very good for business, and it was a lot of people coming and going.

It's already past noon after the busy work, and there is a place to cook this cooking, but I'm too lazy to do it, said. "Let's go out and see what to buy to fill our stomachs!"

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Ju was naturally the happiest, and hurriedly went into the house and took a handkerchief to wash his face, wet his face, and said. "Walking, walking!"

After walking out of the back door, there was a street, and when the door was closed, he walked all the way forward, and after walking for a while, he saw the hawkers.

"Steamed buns, freshly baked buns, two pennies each!"

"Rouge that just arrived, girl, do you want to have a box, look how many times you have come, I will give you a real price today"

The three of them walked all the way, what Chen Chunhua paid the most attention to was the price of those who ate, this bun was also a penny a penny in the town, here were two wen, and some sold three wen after walking for a while.

"Sister-in-law, look at this, it's so good-looking!" Qiu Ju walked to a stall, touched the hanging handkerchief with her hand, and said. "Boss, how much is this?"

"Girl, do you have a vision, this is a newly obtained style, and it is silk fabric, count you cheaper, fifty wen!"

When Qiu Ju heard this, she hurriedly let go and said. "This is too expensive, I bought one last time for only five cents!"

When the peddler heard this, his face immediately fell, and he said. "Girl, what you say is not good, this goods are compared to goods, touch this material and you will know that it must be different, how can it be compared!"

Chen Chunhua didn't know how to needle and thread, and looked at the pink handkerchief, which was embroidered with peony flowers.

Qiu Ju was not very happy anymore, and pulled Chen Chunhua forward, muttering in her mouth. "What a thing, it's so expensive!"

Chen Chunhua slapped Qiu Ju's hand and said. "Be quiet, this person is in business, if you say that it is heard, maybe what will you say!"

Qiu Ju was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at the stall selling handkerchiefs, and saw the anger on the peddler's face. "I won't say anything!"

Seeing her like this, Chen Chunhua smiled. "In front of this person, no matter how bad people are, they can't say it to their faces, it's easy to annoy people, and if things are not good, we won't buy them!"

"Yes, what my sister-in-law said is reasonable!"

Then the three of them sat in front of a noodle stall, each ordered a bowl of green onion noodles, this noodles tasted almost the same, a bowl of five cents was just that, ate noodles, went back to the shop after shopping for a while. (To be continued......)
