Chapter 154: Understanding
Shao Yi was almost injured by Xia Yanqing's disgusted gaze.
When will he be able to get Ah Chan to treat him as his own? This look clearly regards him as the master of eating and drinking and fighting the autumn wind.
Xia Zitang has been with him for a long time, and he also has some feelings.
This is the New Year, this kid has no regrets, and he accompanies him to guard the kiln, which is very righteous. Although he has a share of the kiln, he has already done everything he should do, and he really doesn't need to be so dedicated.
At this time, seeing that he was so injured, he couldn't bear it, and explained to Xia Yanqing: "Little sister, wait for me first, I'll say a few words to Cheng'an." ”
As he spoke, he put his arm on Shao Yi's shoulder and walked out.
As he walked, he explained to him in a low voice: "It's not my brother who won't let you make money, it's really a warm house or something, it's something that my little sister is playing around, not for business." ”
"Fun-talking?" Shao Yi didn't believe in this explanation at all.
He knows Xia Yanqing better than Xia Zitang, how could she spend so much money and material resources to have fun?
It's not a possibility at all, is it?
But Ah Chan just didn't want to tell him, didn't want to treat him as his own, and he had no way at all.
Xia Zitang saw that Shao Yi's face showed no signs of improvement, so he helplessly persuaded: "Otherwise, I will go back and listen to my little sister's plans and arrangements, and I will tell you when I come back." Also, I made my little sister's favorite glutinous rice chicken at home today, and when the time comes, I will cut off half of it and bring it back to you to eat, what do you think? ”
The kitchen of the kiln is open, and the food for the New Year is also good, but I can eat the same glutinous rice chicken as Ah Can......
Shao Yi felt that his already broken soul had gained some comfort.
"Okay, then fourth brother, you have to talk and count, don't you come back and tell me, the glutinous rice chicken has been robbed by your nephews and nieces, and finally get me something else."
Glutinous rice chicken is indeed what Ah Can likes to eat, as well as winter bamboo shoots, sour bamboo shoots and the like, Ah Can likes them all. He didn't have to wait for a long time, and in the end, all the things that Ah Can didn't like to eat were what Ah Can didn't like.
"That won't be, brother, when did I say empty words." Xia Zitang didn't notice Shao Yi's unsightly mind at all, and he agreed very happily.
Shao Yi was a little happy at this time, like a wangfu stone, watching his own daughter-in-law get into the carriage and gradually walk out of sight.
…………
Before the Xia family's dinner was served, Xia Yanqing discussed with Xia Ke and his wife and the two brothers to find two small houses on Zhuangzi, slightly restructure them, and make them into greenhouses.
"Spending a lot of glass just to grow some vegetables, vegetables and fruits is too extravagant?" Mrs. Jiang said.
Xia Ke knew that Xia Yanqing still had more than 20,000 taels of silver in her hand, which was enough for her to do what she wanted.
However, people living in this world must be self-disciplined, and they cannot do whatever they want by their temperament, so that they can go further and longer.
"Do you have other arrangements for the vegetables you plan to grow?" Xia Ke asked.
If you can harvest vegetables and fruits two months earlier, of course, you can enrich the table, and even the extra can be sold. Because it is scarce, it can be sold at a good price.
However, how many vegetables can be grown in a place with only two houses? How much silver can you sell back? She's not like a girl who does such things.
Xia Yanqing said with a smile: "The main thing is that you can't sell glass in large quantities in a short period of time. Don't sample the glass of the kind, it's not easy to make for the time being, isn't my daughter idle? Let's use inferior glass to build a shed for growing vegetables, so that we can eat fresh vegetables earlier, and the important thing is ......"
She winked mischievously, "Our vegetables and vegetables mature one or two months earlier than ordinary farmland, and we can give the vegetables we grow at home to my father and the fourth brother's colleagues, as well as the eldest brother's friends." ”
Xia Zitang understood in seconds that his little sister was planning to use fresh vegetables earlier than the season to manage the connections and relationships between their father and son.
The biggest advantage of this practice is that it is not conspicuous, there is no suspicion of bribery, and it belongs to the daily interaction between relatives and friends.
Xia Zitang looked at Xia Yanqing with a smile and asked, "You have a good plan, just use some vegetables and vegetables, and you want to manage your network, isn't it too simple?" ”
Madame Jiang nodded.
"How can it be easy?" Xia Yanqing explained, "Sending valuables to interact with people is suspected of bribery, and the relationship between the business is not much affection, it is all for the sake of the face of the valuables." ”
"It's different with vegetables. The closest relationship between people is often imperceptibly cultivated from daily tea and chatting, firewood, rice, oil and salt. Don't look at just some vegetables, in the case of not being in season, serve it to the table, let the family share and praise together, this kind of affection is not something that can be managed by giving valuables. ”
Xia Ke nodded, sighing in his heart.
Should he send someone again, to the village where his daughter grew up, and also to the landlord's house in Nashen to see what kind of water and soil can raise his daughter so elf?
Or his Xia Ke and Jiang's bloodlines are good enough, so the children in the family will all be outstanding.
"Okay, you might like to come out. Tomorrow, I will bring a message to the people in Zhuangzi and let them start to prepare. It's just that it's still freezing now, and I'm afraid the construction is not easy. Xia Ke said
Xia Yanqing's spirit was greatly lifted, and she knew that her parents, mother and brother would definitely support her.
"It's okay, we don't work outside, we only open up the two rooms inside, and the fire wall flue is also built in the house, which is not affected by the weather. I was able to write down the appearance and requirements of the conservatory in the evening. ”
When Xia Zitang returned to the kiln with half a eight-treasure glutinous rice chicken, half a sweet and sour tenderloin and braised winter bamboo shoots, Shao Yi didn't eat and was waiting for him.
Xia Zitang watched the kitchen heat up the dishes for him, brought them up, and couldn't help laughing: "You can really do it, why don't you eat something to cushion." If I don't have enough food, you're not going to be hungry tonight. ”
Shao Yile chewed a piece of winter bamboo shoots happily, and said vaguely: "Don't I believe in your character and the relationship between our brothers, Fourth Brother?" The fourth brother made a promise, and he didn't want me to starve, so he would give me enough money anyway. ”
He picked up another piece of chicken that had been chopped open, and asked with satisfaction: "What is our little sister going to do to make a greenhouse?" ”
Xia Zitang glared and reminded: "What do you call our little sister?" That's your brother and my little sister, you have to tell Miss Xia to know, don't you? ”
Shao Yi is as good as flowing: "The fourth brother is right, I don't know what the warm house made by Miss Xia looks like?" And what to do? "He's sharing the delicacy that his brother brings him, and naturally it's what his brother says.
Of course, Xia Zitang couldn't tell him that the out-of-season vegetables planted in Xia Yanqing were to manage the connections for their father and son.
But when Shao Yi heard about the structure of the conservatory, there was plenty of light, the insulation of the glass was good, and there was a fire wall in the house.
In this way, the vegetables in the greenhouse must not be constrained by the season, can ripen early, and the yield is not affected.
He asked Xia Zitang proudly: "This vegetable, the family will definitely not be able to eat it, but Miss Xia is planning to give it away?" ”
"Eat your meal." Xia Zitang was a little stupid. He wondered how this thing always knew more about his sister than he and his parents and brothers.
