Chapter 233: Returning Home
In order to suppress the concubine, or the concubine to become a wife, the tricks used by the concubine are full of tricks.
Those who don't make trouble are embarrassed to talk about fighting.
For example, Liu Mingxuan's family, based on Sun Chen's understanding of his stepmother, he didn't believe it at all, and his aunt entered the house to become a stepmother, which would not be filthy at all.
Although the second girl is usually very aggressive, for these things, the delicate feeling of being a woman makes her more sensitive than Sun Chen.
She had told Sun Chen many times that she would rather find an ordinary farmer and get up early and return late every day to work hard, rather than become a favored concubine in a big family.
Sun Chen raised his hands in favor of her decision. Instead of spending all your energy every day on competing with a group of women, it is better to live a little more embarrassed, and the two of them work together for a happy life in the future.
Sharing weal and woe along the way is much more comfortable than staying at home all day, waiting for the favor and reward of the gold owner, and living with a snort.
Besides, how could Sun Chen let his sister live in hardship?
……
After soliciting the opinion of the second girl, Sun Chen stayed at the bottom of the mountain for another day, and when Xiao Jingtian arrived as promised, he saw Sun Chen with a defensive face.
"Erniu, she doesn't want to see me, does she?" As if expecting this to be the end, Xiao Jingtian didn't react much fiercely. It's just that the self-deprecation on his face made Sun Chen feel that he still had some sympathy for his experience.
It's just a poor man bound by his family, and he doesn't really seem to need to think he's so hateful.
"I'm gone, hoping that she will find her happiness in the future and never think of me again."
……
The second girl was a little excited, and she never came to Pujia Pavilion after that day, but only shrank on the mountain and ate endless fruits every day. Sun Chen, who was originally the shopkeeper, became the one who ran up and down the mountain.
Sun Chen doesn't know whether the second lady of the Jing family has a high emotional intelligence, but her endurance is extremely high, and Sun Chen is sure. Knowing the existence of Erniu, not only did she never come to Pujia Pavilion to find unhappiness, but she even brought a large group of people over to take care of Pujia Pavilion's business.
Originally, Pujia Pavilion opened the door to do business, and the money sent to the door would never go unearned, Sun Chen had the heart to treat her as an ordinary customer, and warmly entertained her in detail, but he really couldn't do it. After politely rejecting her, Sun Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. returned to the mountain to learn from his master Yang Shuping, and Sun Chen got a lot of praise.
"You're doing the right thing, we can't let others think that you're spineless, if it weren't for the three-year agreement you signed with Yun Drunken Restaurant, I wouldn't have planned to send rooster eggs or anything there a year ago. It's not that no one wants our things, so why do we have to sell them to people who make them uncomfortable. It's not that the money is not enough to spend, and it's really boring to earn so many taels of silver. ”
"Let's go back to Taikang Town for the Chinese New Year this year, I haven't been back for two years." Sun Chen proposed.
Maybe everyone has an obsession with their hometown in their hearts, and although there are people they hate, they still want to go back every once in a while to see if it has changed.
……
When the lychee came down, Sun Chen took a lot of effort to preserve it. Because of the scarcity of production, Sun Chen transported it to the capital and Fenghai County, which were not bad for money, and the money from the sale was as much as five thousand taels of silver after deducting various expenses such as freight.
By the end of August, when the oranges came down, they were sold for almost two thousand taels of silver, and all the expenses after he bought Qingmingshan were almost one-fifth of the original cost.
It was also after he bought Qingming Mountain that Sun Chen knew how big the investment was in the so-called development of barren mountains.
The thousands of taels of silver that I bought from Qingmingshan are really nothing, but the maintenance of various fruit tree seedlings and the construction of various infrastructures are the majority.
You spend money to build a small manor on a flat land, it doesn't cost much, but if you put the same amount of money into a barren mountain covering hundreds of acres, you may not even hear a sound.
If it weren't for Sun Chen's cleverness, thinking of three-dimensional breeding, and raising chickens in the mountains to relieve pressure, maybe even this fifth would not have returned to the capital.
Fortunately, all the major investments have been completed, and in the future, except for the daily maintenance on the mountain, Sun Chen will hardly have any expenditure.
……
Because of the tight time, coupled with some technical problems that have not been solved, the deep processing plant of various fruits envisioned by Sun Chen has not been built for the time being, and Sun Chen will only wait for the second year to be free, and then carefully ponder.
However, he tried it with a pineapple bought in the market (his own pineapple would take two years to bear fruit, but Sun Chen would only do the same), and successfully made a canned pineapple from rock sugar.
It's just that there is no suitable container, so there is no way to sell it on the market, and you can only try it yourself.
Looking for a suitable place to build a factory, and then improve the taste of canned food, so that it can reach the best, contact a special utensils dealer, Sun Chen finally studied the preservation of canned food.
When people are busy, they often feel that time flies quickly, but Sun Chen still feels that there are many things that have not been arranged properly, and he has already entered the eighth day of the lunar month.
Laba porridge here is quite particular, it is said to be Laba porridge, but in fact, it uses soaked red dates, lotus seeds, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds, pine nuts, longan, hazelnuts, grapes, ginkgo seeds, water chestnuts, green silk, roses, red beans, peanuts...... There are no less than 20 materials in total. On the evening of the seventh day of the lunar month, simmer slowly over low heat all night, and the next morning, the fragrance is overflowing.
Sun Chen also listened to the advice of a slave he bought, peeled a lot of garlic cloves, soaked them in rice vinegar on the eighth day of the lunar month, and left it alone after sealing the jar. The man said that when the dumplings are eaten during the Chinese New Year, all the garlic cloves will turn green, and it will be especially delicious to eat them again at that time.
He made two altars, one to take away, and the other to stay on Qingming Mountain, and eat it when he returned.
……
The affairs of Qingming County were all arranged, and Sun Chen and the others took the carriage and embarked on the road back to their hometown. Because Cen Xi taught many ways to keep fruits fresh, except for lychees, which are particularly difficult to preserve, he only brought some preserved fruits, and he brought a lot of other fruits.
"Fennel doesn't know what's going on, we've been out for so long, and I only seem to have received five letters from her." The second girl lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked worried.
"Five letters are not enough? I only have two letters, and they were written to me by Yi Cong. Shen Bo still has two letters a month! Sun Chen muttered, although Shen Bo's letter was just a routine report.
Every time at this time, Sun Chen will miss the era he was in very much, and he can communicate with people thousands of miles away anytime and anywhere, and it will not be as difficult as it is now to meet him.
