Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Legendary Old Man Dong
O princess! In a word, our pastry recipe is about to be handed over, but there is nothing that is not unique, and the modern West Pastry Shop on the street is like an ancient dim sum shop, each with its own ability!
But the problem now is that the master who can make pastries, apart from her, the two sisters-in-law can't be counted as masters. She still thinks that she will slowly start a new school in the future, and wait for the conditions to be ripe and then teach the two sisters-in-law little by little!
"To say that the princess is also a poor person, there was a boy who died before he was a year old. When the county lord was born, the emperor made an exception to give the county lord the title and did not give the fief.
The county lord followed here to keep filial piety, and next year and after the end of the day, he will be busy preparing for marriage, and the county lord is not like our daughter, giving a few boxes of dowry, clothes and bedding or something. People want to marry granges, shops, houses, and boxes of silver, gold, bits and pieces of old age.
There are so many things, I am dizzy when I look at them, and the official of the Ministry of Rites in the capital said, I have to add more! It's not fun to listen to. Mrs. Hu chatted with Mrs. Niu very casually.
She didn't think at all, to open a pastry shop, there must be a pastry chef, everyone is a peasant woman, can you follow the county lord to marry, the peasant woman should be a good person, if she follows the county lord, is she going to be a slave? Would people like it?
Dong Xiaoying reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "What my aunt said is that he is the county lord, how can he be the same as the little people?" Weddings are meant to be grand.
Auntie! What's going on with this bridal pastry shop? Did the princess send someone to learn how to make pastries? Or ......"
Mrs. Niu reacted, and immediately said: "Big sister, this pastry is only made by my daughter-in-law, and the fourth child of my family is a showman, a scholar!" If the princess lets me go to work for the county lord's shop, we can't buy a slave, and the fourth child of my family will have to take the exam in the future! ”
Mrs. Hu just listened to a few words beside the princess, I really didn't think much about it, and when I heard Mrs. Niu say this, I felt that I couldn't let the talented lady marry the county lord, let alone be a slave!
"This matter is not yet confirmed, I will ask the princess when I go back, if I really want to get a pastry shop, then we will partner with the county lord, she has a shop in her marriage, she works in the shop, and you can make money on both sides!"
Mrs. Hu thinks that this is not a big deal, the county lord rarely eats pastries, and wants to open a pastry shop for the marriage, the partnership is the best, and both sides are satisfied.
Dong Xiaoying thinks about it, it is better to be a partner than to be a slave to others.
"Auntie, we are not in good condition now, the pastry house has just been built, although all counties have consignment points, but the pastries are too soft, and many are not suitable for long-distance transportation, so the style is single, just these few pastries, I really can't support a shop." Dong Xiaoying told the truth.
Mrs. Hu didn't care and said: "Then take your time, just come here, it's not easy to stabilize, and many of the moved fields haven't been picked up yet!" This year, I don't have the time to plant, but it's good to be able to harvest two crops of vegetables before the cold weather, and you can build a house and grow food in the fields, which is already amazing. ”
Dong Xiaoying looked at Mrs. Niu and said: "Actually, I went to the city this time, I also wanted to buy a shop, the old ladies got up early and went to the city in the dark, it was too hard, it was too hard to catch up with the wind and rain, the road was frozen in winter, and it was even more difficult to snow." ”
Mrs. Niu slapped her hands and said, "At first, we didn't know that the princess had this plan, can we still buy a shop for his aunt?" We have received the great favor of the princess, and we still have the food given by the princess, we can't be ungrateful! ”
Mrs. Hu thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Then don't buy it yet, I'll ask the princess, what do you think, I don't have a spare shop in my hand, you go to the city and do it first!" ”
Mrs. Niu shook her hand and said: "That's not a hit, it's not a hit, how much advantage you have, if you didn't let Da Zhongzi say hello, we couldn't be separated, and it would be difficult for each family to hold their feet and necks and cry at this time!" ”
Mrs. Hu laughed, "You guys! It's just that I'm too foreign, half of my shops are empty, you pick one to do business, and I don't have to worry about it! ”
Mrs. Niu asked cautiously: "Then we will pay you for the house!" ”
Mrs. Hu laughed, "Cheng, if you make money, if you are willing to pay for the house, you can pay a few, in fact, you send me pastries to eat every day, which is better than giving the house money!" ”
After talking for a while, Mrs. Niu looked at the sky and quickly got up to say goodbye.
On the way back, Mrs. Niu drove the mule cart and asked Dong Xiaoying, "Why did you want to buy a shop, but I didn't listen to you before I came!" ”
Dong Xiaoying said: "Mingyuan asked the master of Leping City, saying that there are not many people who have moved now, and there are all the counties and the grandfathers, and many rich grandfathers have moved to divide the fields, so they want to buy shops, and the shops in the city have risen, and they have risen by five or six percent compared to when we came."
Mingyuan said, if you don't take advantage of the now, the princess's fiefdom will develop in the future, and we may not be able to buy a shop if we have money. ”
Mrs. Niu sighed, "We all understand, you followed the fourth child and sold it to the family's goods store, I am very unhappy in my heart, that is your father's life's work!" If you want to buy a store, buy it! Let the money strings be collected for the goods bank, and we will not give the Dong family's family business a clean defeat. ”
Hua Pozi nodded with her, this is what it means, she used it for family heirlooms, and sold it for her shop, if Master Dong is alive, he must not be angry again.
Back in the town, the fire walls of the two rows of houses and the big kang were burned, so that the houses could be dried quickly.
Mrs. Niu and Mrs. Hua distributed things to each family, and the stuffy man was busy sending the things that Miss bought to the house, thinking about giving Miss yesterday and kowtowing to her uncle, saying that he would be a slave to the Dong family for the rest of his life, but Miss was not happy and disciplined him.
Borezi thinks, how good it is to follow the young lady and uncle, why do you want me to set up my own door?
Qian Chuanzi cried yesterday compared with his uncle, kowtowed and said that he didn't care about the change of household registration, he was all about Miss and Uncle.
Naturally, the things left by Master Dong, the money strings and stuffy ones were handed over. They took it all the way, for fear of a little mistake, and always thought about giving the things left by the master to the heirs and grandchildren in the future. Now they are not slaves of the Dong family, and they can't keep Master Dong's heirlooms.
Dong Xiaoying and Fang Mingyuan looked at the heirlooms left by Master Dong, and they were not too shocked, but they felt that Old Man Dong had foresight.
It was shocking to Chang'an, what Master Dong left to his grandson was not property, it was a lot of sheepskin maps, although it was not put together, but the general topography of the country, where there are mountains, water, can run horses, about how many miles, marked very clearly.
Any idea how hard it is? In ancient times, there were no maps to buy, and those who had maps in their hands were generals, and those who had maps of the whole country were only available in places such as the center of power and the cabinet, and they were not just available to see.
Such a precious thing, Chang'an felt that his father and mother were too illiterate. He didn't do anything for a day, so he looked at the map in his new home for a day, thinking about putting together pieces of sheepskin to make a big map of the country.
When Dong Xiaoying came back, she asked where her children were, knowing that her son was looking at the map in the house and her daughter was playing in the small baking room, so she didn't care, and went to the big baking room to see the completion of the order.
"When I got married, my father and mother loved me and put the dowry in my dowry, and my dowry was counted in our village! Thirty taels of silver!
That's how many years my father and mother have saved up the family foundation, tsk, I still think about this life, I don't have the ability to marry my daughter with a dozen taels of silver! ”
Zhao Quanyou's daughter-in-law was busy squeezing out the spinach juice in her hand, trembling with laughter.
Zhang's nephew and daughter-in-law answered with a smile, "When I went back yesterday, my mother-in-law still said it!" She cooked for us, and the public gave us two taels or four dollars! For the first time in her life, she had such old money on her. ”
Mingcai's daughter-in-law laughed, "Your family has a kiln, and you make a lot of money selling green bricks a year, but your mother-in-law has never carried any money?" ”
Mingyao's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "I haven't carried any money, Daddy Zhang, Uncle Zhang, and Grandma Zhang, the elders are all here!" ”
When Mingcai's daughter-in-law saw Dong Xiaoying, she hurriedly got up and shouted, "The fourth brother and sister are back!" ”
