Erlang followed the Siamese caravan away, and Dong Xiaoman was a little concerned. / Although this seems to be a very developed road, it seems that you can make money while traveling in the mountains and rivers, but after all, this is the beginning of export trade, and it is unknown whether Erlang can succeed.

Dong Xiaoman prepared porcelain and silk for Erlang, I don't know if it is abundant outside the road. But according to Dong Xiaoman's historical knowledge and observation, these outsiders are still very interested in these things.

Jiro bought nearly 30,000 taels of porcelain and another 10,000 taels of silk. Although these are nothing in the eyes of the big bosses, they are already big sums for a fledgling trader. Cooking women are hard to do 224

Dong Xiaoman originally wanted to say that the tree is a big move, and it is better for us to wait and see when we go to sea for the first time. First, there is no caravan ship of its own, and second, there is no specific market. Just left with a large shipload of goods in such a hurry? But Erlang said: "People will be willing to do business with us when they see that we have this strength." It's my first time shipping, so I need to make sure of my reputation. "Dong Xiaoman doesn't care about Erlang's decision, he bought it anyway, do you still have to make a big fuss? Looking at Erlang's high-spirited appearance, Dong Xiaoman was really afraid that Erlang would accidentally capsize in the gutter. When the time comes, not to mention the loss of money, it is called ugly if it collapses.

But she didn't dare to say it, after all, the more a man goes through it, the more mature he becomes. Erlang can get to where he is today, although he has made a lot of contributions, but it also has a lot to do with his own efforts.

After thinking about it, Dong Xiaoman told himself to live his life well, and he couldn't always feed Erlang as an unweaned child.

Dong Xiaoman's private dishes have been opened, in fact, the front yard has been renovated. The weather in the south is good, and spring arrives early. All kinds of flowers and plants were planted in the yard, and people were ordered to make all kinds of beautiful and beautiful screens around the dining table.

Erlang is not at home, and Xiaohu is at ease in his hometown. Except for the children, the family is very secluded. The back garden is also beautiful enough, with flowers, water and bamboo forests. It has a poetic feeling, especially suitable for strolling around and chatting after eating.

When Zhu'er is greeting guests, someone will inquire about Zhu'er's situation. Zhu'er smiled calmly: "I still live in my mother's house, my father is not at home when he goes to sea, leaving my mother and younger siblings at home." ”

Someone asked, "Why is it that you have a woman who combs her hair, but you want to open a shop outside, your man?" ”

Zhu'er sighed and said with a sad face: "I am unlucky, and I have been married for three years and have nothing to do. My mother-in-law felt that I was delayed, and in order to have a good name for the concubine, I wanted to raise the child's mother to be a flat wife. This kind of spoiling concubine and killing wife is very disgusting to my mother's family. So he made the decision and left, and now he waited for me to leave that sad place, and came here to open a shop for me, for relaxation. ”

When they heard that there were such parents, everyone was amazed. "You are so favored, your father must be like you are the pearl of your palm." Some people are envious, and some people don't believe that there will be such a thing.

"It's a coincidence, my mother really likes the exquisite beauty of Jiangnan. The family's business is taken care of by someone, and my mother is now guarding the lives of a few of us. The more Zhu'er talked, the more she felt that it was because of herself that Dong Xiaoman decided to move over.

Dong Xiaoman told her before: "If someone asks about you, you will be pitiful." But all the people who come to buy things from you are in very good condition at home. Most of such women are noble people, but they are virtuous and virtuous people on the face, but they hate people who rob their husbands with them very much in their hearts. ”

Zhu'er disagreed: "If people really find out, it's not the same thing, what should I do?" ”

Dong Xiaoman sneered: "Who will have nothing to do to check your details, even if they check your past." When the time comes, do you think Hong Nan will not marry a wife and have children? ”

Zhu'er hurriedly shook her head: "I didn't mean that, I just think that it's not good to elevate yourself!" ”

Dong Xiaoman sneered: "That's what you say, people will listen to it in half, women like gossip the most." It's good if you don't care, but if you care too much, you will be annoyed. ”

Zhilu Dao Zhu'er will not become strong in his heart all of a sudden, and he will sometimes care about the eyes of others. But to be able to get to this stage is not bad.

Someone inquired about Zhu'er's past, and by the way, Zhu'er also moved Dong Xiaoman out: "You always say that I am a powerful person, but in fact, it is all up to my mother to pull me." You think I'll be able to open a store just by scratch? In fact, it was influenced by my mother, who was a well-known figure in her hometown. ”

Everyone wondered, what is the name of a woman? Either they are from a background and are talented and unmatched. Either she is a world-famous Ji girl, attracting countless men to abandon their families and businesses just to smile.

"When I was a child, the conditions at home were very bad, and my grandmother was partial to my father and mother for nothing. My father and mother made a fortune selling dim sum and pastries, and then opened a restaurant. In our hometown, there are six branches of dim sum shops, two restaurants, and a good house for students from poor families to eat and live for free. When Zhu'er said this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim: There are still such people. Cooking women are hard to do 224

"Well, the children of the poor are in charge of the house. A woman's family running around with a man with a child is also a hard life. Since your family's conditions are good, why do you still come here? "There was an old lady who heard Zhu'er's words, and she was a little emotional, as if she remembered it, but she didn't quite understand it.

"To make a long story, one is that my marriage is really unhappy. My mother's family is also a well-known person in the local area, and they will naturally not be spared if they abuse me like this. My father came to Jiangnan to buy goods, and my mother took me out to relax. Seeing the beautiful scenery and pleasant climate here, I stayed first. Second, although we have enough stores, our guy is really powerful. As long as the account is paid at the end of each year, my father and mother don't need to worry too much. After Zhu'er finished speaking, someone immediately said that she wanted to meet this powerful mother.

Zhu'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Now my mother has long passed the hard days of opening a shop, and she only takes care of her younger siblings at home. So if you want to eat our family heirlooms, there is no restaurant outside our house. ”

Someone immediately said with great interest: "We can go to your house, your mother is also bored and panicked when she is alone here." Let's think we know one more person, and we will be familiar with it in the future. ”

Zhu'er shook her head: "My mother is a person who is used to doing business, and my father brought back a group of people with yellow hair and blue eyes a while ago. Just to try my mother's private food, my mother also received my father a hundred taels of silver as a reward for this. She said that it would be okay if relatives and friends came to the house, and that it would be okay to order the cook to cook. If you want to eat my own food, it is to treat me as a restaurant, and of course the restaurant has the rules of the restaurant. ”

Everyone thought it was interesting: "Your father wants to eat your mother's cooking, and you still have to give money?" ”

Zhu'er smiled: "It's okay if you usually want to eat, but under the pretext of eating my mother's signature dish, it's not okay for my mother to be in a small kitchen." My mother's family has passed down a hundred years of private dishes, how can people eat them for nothing? ”

When he said this, the wise man immediately understood. They are businessmen, and if you come to my house for dinner, you will naturally have to give money.

Isn't this the same as the restaurant outside, but it's just a home-cooked meal. As for saying it so godly, all of you here are housewives who can't cook.

"Your mother's private dish has been passed down from family for hundreds of years. Tell me what's different so we can hear something new! Some people are not convinced, and they want to hit Zhu'er's morale.

"It is said that our family has opened a restaurant, and this restaurant is different from the other one. You can inquire, not far from the capital in the north, there is a county town called Rongcheng and a water county called Fengjiabao. In both places, there is a restaurant called Jishitang, which uses my mother's ancestral secret recipe. Specializing in conditioning the body, one of your daughters has a child and the body is lost, so you can recuperate here. Both men and women use medicine to make imported dishes, and this is what makes our family famous. "Seeing that what Zhu'er said was the Tao, and even the place and name were said, it was obviously true.

It was still the old man just now, and his voice was as loud as a bell: "Then I want to taste it, I have never seen such an interesting woman in my life." ”

Zhu'er didn't know who this person was when she first arrived, this old lady was the mother of the salt patrol imperial history. The head of the Mei family in Qingzhou, Mrs. Mei. This man suffered a lot when he was young, and raised four sons and two daughters alone. And the four sons are now quite capable, and the second son is the former leader and now the salt patrol Yu Shimei. The eldest son was a squire in Qingzhou City, who controlled nearly two-thirds of the land near Qingzhou. The third son and the fourth son are all officials, although they are not as prosperous as the second brother, but they are in power.

Mrs. Mei is different from the rich people next to her, so she likes to take her daughter-in-law and children to wander around the streets. Now that the conditions are good, the people in the family are allowed to buy a few favorite objects, and more often they take their families to watch the suffering of the people while walking, and tell the hard-won life now.

It is also accidental to come here, mainly because in the past few days, several granddaughters in the family have been clamoring to invite the shopkeeper here to come to the house. Everyone made a set of jewelry, Mrs. Mei felt quite extravagant, who knew that after chatting, she learned that the shopkeeper was actually a daughter's family. is not very old, but it is not easy to act moderately, and I heard that it was a shop opened by a woman.

So today, I will personally bring two daughters-in-law to the door to choose, just come in but a cup of tea. I heard someone inquiring about this girl's private affairs, and heard Zhu'er's words, and the old lady felt that this girl's mother really had to meet her.

Although Zhu'er didn't know how noble Mrs. Lu Daomei's identity was, she saw her say that she was going to eat at home. I heard someone exclaim: It's Mrs. Mei! With this sentence, Zhu'er expected that this old lady must not be ordinary

I was secretly happy: luck has come! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
