"In order to mend the relationship between the Lei family and us, they really took great pains." Su Jiudong squatted down, his fingers slid over the silver ingots one by one, and looked at the box full of silver taels with a contemptuous smile.

After a clear refusal, Lei Jingyun pretended not to force Su Jiudong to accept the gratuity, but privately stuffed the money into the newly built house. Do you really think that she Su Jiudong didn't accept it because she wanted to hide people's ears and target herself, so she just collected it in private?

"Lei Jingyun wants to give it to you, so you can take it. This is really the reward you pay for his mother's recuperation and treatment, and you don't take it for nothing. Wen Yiheng carried the silver box into Su Jiudong's house, and several people counted it, twenty taels of silver ingots, a total of twenty silver ingots, and the rest were dozens of small denomination silver tickets.

Su Jiudong estimated that it should be a small-denomination silver ticket that Lei Jingyun deliberately exchanged, and was worried that Su Jiudong would be targeted if he went to the money bank with a large-denomination silver ticket.

"Lei Jingyun is very cautious in doing things, but people don't take the right path, and their hearts are crooked on the left side of the door, it's a pity."

"If you can cultivate it well, you may be able to make great achievements in the future, so why bother to fall into the quagmire and be bound." Wen Yiheng sighed regretfully, and his mind turned to another important matter, which was also the thing he wanted to discuss with Su Jiudong tonight - buying a carriage.

"After the opening of the medicinal restaurant, you and I will definitely have to go to the county every day. Although the distance from the village to the county seat is not far, it is too limited to rely only on foot or waiting for horse-drawn carriages to enter the city. ”

"It's better to buy our own carriage, it's also convenient to travel, and when An'er and Ah Rong grow up in the future, it will be faster when they go to the county school to study." Wen Yiheng thought long-term, and even thought about Su Tingan and Ah Rong's study.

"I think it's better to buy a bigger one, when the time comes, our family can all sit in the carriage, in case there is a chance to go out to play~" Liu Yunniang saw that the days were getting better and better, and she had to buy a new carriage after building a new house, and she couldn't help but fantasize about the comfortable days in the future. She is in a good mood today, with all kinds of stars in her eyes, and she walks lightly.

Su Jiudong thinks that it is too early to buy a carriage for the time being, and thinks it is more appropriate to wait for a while before buying: "A-Niang, we have just built a new house today, and the people in the village are very hot about it, if we still buy a carriage at this time, will it be too ostentatious?" ”

Su Jiudong's family had just built a new house, and the people in the village kept expressing envy and jealousy. During the construction, the Su family even found an excuse to come over to inquire about the situation, and also wanted a piece of the pie. If she buys the carriage again, she is afraid that in the eyes of those who care, she will think that her Su Jiudong's family has money to spare and can steal it.

If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. Su Jiudong's family has been in the limelight in the village recently, so she decided to keep a low profile in the near future.

"Jiu Dong'er, we spent our own money to buy the carriage, and we didn't spend other people's money, so why bother what others think?"

Liu Yunniang's thoughts were flying, and she almost had a tendency to go off the strings: "And I don't think the people in our village are so stingy." ”

Liu Yunniang didn't agree with Su Jiudong's point of view very much.

I only feel that buying a carriage is really needed at present, and the money to buy a carriage has been obtained by others by Su Jiudong's skillful hands, and it is not black money from abduction. Why should you care what others think?

"Auntie, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, you don't think about the disadvantages of people, but there is no need to think about the benefits of people. Have you forgotten what the Su family and the people in the village did before? ”

"They want to take me to sacrifice, and it's not been more than a year since you forgot? In the future, let's stay away from the Su family and those bad villagers, and don't forget their previous evil deeds just because of a few good words from others. Su Jiudong seriously persuaded Liu Yunniang for almost an hour, and Liu Yunniang thoughtfully dispelled the idea of buying a carriage.

"I have a way not to expose our existing money, but also to make the villagers quiet and shut up about our family's carriage." Wen Yiheng whispered a few words in Su Jiudong's ear, Su Jiudong thought about it and readily agreed.

"Then will you say it or will I say it?" Su Jiudong asked.

"I think it's better for me to step in. In this way, tomorrow you can study medicinal food at home, and I will go to the county seat to see the matter of recruiting the shopkeeper and recruiting people, and by the way, I will bring you back a carriage, so that others will not dare to say anything when they see it. Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong glanced at each other, and laughed out loud with the victory in hand.

On the second day, Wen Yiheng set off to the county early in the morning, and found a few candidates who met the requirements of the shopkeeper through his connections, and let people see a few hard-working and down-to-earth running guys for him, young men and little girls, just waiting for Su Jiudong to decide which ones to choose.

Su Jiudong can only verbally prepare food, boiling medicine and decoction is okay, cooking is really poor, so Wen Yiheng made people pay attention to find a few reliable chef candidates.

The recruitment was initially decided, and it was only in the afternoon, Wen Yiheng deliberately came to the teahouse near Xiangyun Tea House to sit and drink tea. Wen Yiheng deliberately chose a location near the window on the second floor, so that he could have a panoramic view of the people coming and going on the street, and naturally he could be seen by the people in the Xiangyun Tea House drinking tea here.

Wen Yiheng saw a young man hurriedly run out of the Xiangyun Tea House and walked into an alley. In less than a quarter of an hour, Lei Jingyun appeared in Wen Yiheng's sight.

Wen Yiheng sighed in his heart that for the sake of interests, the speed of doing things will be significantly improved.

I saw Lei Jingyun walking into the teahouse leisurely, and also went up to the second floor, and after searching for Wen Yiheng, he pretended to be surprised and greeted, and sat down opposite Wen Yiheng.

"Heng Gongzi is so interested, how can you have free time to drink tea in this teahouse today~ Why don't you see Miss Su?"

"The affairs at home are complicated, and the inner son is not idle. I thought my parents were noisy, so I came to the county town to hang out and relax. Wen Yiheng took a sip of tea slowly and savored it in his mouth, "By the way, let's see if there are any second-hand carriages to be sold for rent." ”

"Hahaha~ Heng Gongzi has a noble status, how can he sit in a second-hand carriage? It just so happened that Jing Yun had a spare carriage in his hand, which could be given to Heng Gongzi. Lei Jingyun was worried that he couldn't find a chance to get close, so Wen Yiheng himself gave the first talk.

"That's not good. Heng and Neiko have caused too much trouble to your mansion recently, and they are sending people to build us a house, and they are sending us silver, and Heng really doesn't dare to let the Lei family send things in vain. Wen Yiheng pretended to excuse himself, and his eyes wandered on Lei Jingyun's face.

"Oh, Jingyun sees." Lei Jingyun comprehended and said slowly: "Just now, Jingyun made a mistake and said the wrong thing, not to send, but to borrow." Jingyun is willing to lend the carriage to Heng Gongzi temporarily, and the return date is decided by Heng Gongzi, Jingyun has many carriages at home, and he is not in a hurry to come back. ”

"Well said. Heng would like to thank Lei Gongzi here. Wen Yiheng didn't want to refuse and welcome, and agreed to Lei Jingyun's words straightforwardly. Lei Jingyun is a resolute person, so he immediately asked people to go to the carriage to come, and even thought that the coachman would send Wen Yiheng back to the village.

Recently, the carriage of the Lei family has been in and out of the village frequently, and the villagers are accustomed to it, from the beginning of the freshness to the later commonplace.

Some envy Su Jiudong for having a relationship with the Lei family, the county official, and some are jealous that Su Jiudong did not share the benefits of the Lei family with the villagers.

The people in the village have different hearts, but because of the identity and status of the Lei family, no one dares to show it blatantly.

When Su Jiudong heard the sound of the wheels and horses' hooves from far and near, he knew that Wen Yiheng had done things as expected.

happily greeted the door and waited for Wen Yiheng.

Wen Yiheng asked the coachman to drive the carriage in through the back door of the yard, and sent the coachman back.

Su Jiudong looked at the auspicious cloud markers on the carriage, and waited for Wen Yiheng to tell the process with interest.

Wen Yiheng took a sip of the tea that Su Jiudong served, and said slowly: "Lei Jingyun is a smart person, as soon as I said it casually, he grasped the point and honestly sent the carriage over. At that time, the people in the village knew that the carriage was 'lent' to us by the Lei family, so they didn't dare to say more. We have a tour car without worrying about gossip in the village, killing two birds with one stone. ”

With the shop, recruited people to borrow a carriage, and prepared enough medicinal diet recipes, Su Jiudong's Jonway Medicinal Diet Hall officially opened at the beginning of winter.

Su Jiudong chose a reliable and down-to-earth shopkeeper Liu to come forward to operate, she was responsible for supervising the cooking and catering of the kitchen lady in the kitchen of the second courtyard, and Wen Yiheng sat in the rear as a cooperative owner.

Wen Yiheng has been busy again recently. The two of them went into the city every day, Su Jiudong ran to the medicinal restaurant, and Wen Yiheng was busy somewhere, so many things in the medicinal restaurant were controlled by Su Jiudong.

On the first day of opening, Su Jiudong's medicinal diet hall is the first health hall in the county, most of the people in the county are flat-headed, the culture is not very high, most of them do not know the meaning of "medicinal diet", and the nobles in the county do not know that there is a medicinal diet restaurant on this street, so a large part of the pedestrians are wandering in a wait-and-see attitude.

The first guest who came to the door was Dr. Yan, who Su Jiudong was most familiar with in the county. The pharmacy where Dr. Yan sat was seven or eight streets away from Su Jiudong's medicinal restaurant, but his home was near the Yongyuan medicinal restaurant.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Dr. Yan saw that the business in the medicinal restaurant was deserted, and the guys in the store were idle, so he gave Su Jiudong a small suggestion - marketing to build momentum.

The people of Pingtou do not know the effect of medicinal diet, Su Jiudong can start from this point and use the "celebrity effect" in the county town to do soft promotion. For example, Mrs. Lei is a good living signboard.

Mrs. Lei has suffered from stomach problems for many years, and she has improved after taking the medicinal diet prepared by Su Jiudong. Su Jiudong can use this point to open the channels of dignitaries and nobles, and let the nobles know that Mrs. Lei has taken the medicinal diet of this medicinal diet hall to raise her body, so she can attract dignitaries.

Shopkeeper Liu also put forward his own small suggestions, you can make some small portions of health medicinal food, or novel flavors to distribute to the people on the street to taste, highlighting the quality of their medicinal diet products, Cong'er opened the way between the people.

Su Jiudong doesn't understand marketing, and Dr. Yan and Shopkeeper Liu are businessmen who have been making a living for many years, so what the two of them say, Su Jiudong, who nodded like pounding garlic, remembered something.
