As the novel dishes were served one by one, the villagers sighed in their hearts while eating hard, this Ruan Dalang family was completely rich. With such a dish, they will be able to eat a meal during the Chinese New Year.

It seems that it is time for your children to try their luck at the Big Buddha Temple. They heard that Ruan Yuping, a girl who had always had mediocre qualifications, went to the Big Buddha Temple and worshiped the Bodhisattva, and a halo immediately flashed above her head.

According to village customs, this meal at noon is the main thing. However, although everyone ate very comfortably and had enough dishes, they were looking forward to this dinner in the evening.

Without him, just because Ruan Dalang announced in public at noon that in the evening, their family would invite the chefs to use fresh longevity fruit as a seasoning and make a bowl of longevity fruit noodles for everyone to taste. One bowl per person, no one will be left behind.

And the Duck Duck Country Chef did not disappoint everyone, after all, they often make this side. Moreover, tonight's noodles are still made by Zhang's own people, and they are just helping to make the ingredients.

Considering everyone's tastes, Zhang's made seven or eight kinds of noodles in one go according to the appearance of the shops in the city, and served them in clay pots, no matter what they wanted to eat at that time.

In this way, on this night, everyone ate the legendary longevity fruit for the first time, plus Zhang's secret sauce, and they were all amazed by its rare deliciousness. In the end, even the noodle soup was drunk.

Of course, after eating only one bowl of limited longevity fruit noodles per person, everyone once again showed their strength, took the bowl and went to the pot to catch a bowl, and chose their favorite cheeks to prepare and eat.

This cheek is so rich, and you only eat one, isn't it a disappointment to other chefs?

Although the noodles I ate at night were only noodles, it seemed a little thinner, but because there were seven or eight kinds of noodles made by Zhang's own cooking, a lot of chopped meat was added to them.

In addition, Zhang's rolled noodles are very glutenous, and when eaten with Zhenzi, it is simply delicious. Therefore, not only did no one gossip about the Lord's house, but many people ate more at night than at noon, rubbing their stomachs and shouting.

There are even many people who pull Zhang and ask how this son is done.

Zhang thought about it, so he omitted those places that passed through the muscles and veins, and explained the simple and easy-to-learn points. In this way, the women were even happier and felt that Zhang's person was open and unselfish.

They knew that the Zhang family had opened a noodle shop in the city, and this was someone else's livelihood to make money. And now he has told them what he did, and it is impossible not to be moved.

In this way, one by one, the villagers touched their stomachs and thanked them and left.

That night, the family tidied up the yard overnight and was busy until the second half of the night, preparing to go to the city the next day. One is to open a shop to do business, and the other is to check the condition of the longevity fruit in the shop.

On the second day, Ruan Dalang remained at home, while Zhang took a few people into the city. As soon as the shop opened, business continued to be booming.

When the longevity fruit was completely dry, Li couldn't wait to weigh it with his own scale, and the result was one hundred and eighty catties.

After thinking about it, he discussed with Ruan Yuping, and when he went to bed at night, Li said to Zhang: "Mother, I discussed with Yuping." This time, I got a total of 180 catties of longevity fruit, and I am going to take out 10 catties, and you can take it home and store it for seeding. Anyway, the family has been separated, and this is what you and your father and younger siblings belong to. ”

Ten catties of long-lived fruits can be planted on about six or seven points of land, which is a lot. In the first half of the year, in the autumn, it was sold for a sum of silver. At that time, whether it is to build a house or say goodbye, it will be extremely easy.

"For the remaining 170 catties, we will leave 50 catties for seeding, and the remaining 120 catties will be sold, give you 100 taels, and give my two younger siblings and a family of 20 taels. For the rest, we are going to buy a shop in the new commercial street of Chenjiacun. ”

"Go to Chenjia Village to buy a shop? Is there enough silver? I've heard that the shops in the old shopping street have long been sold out. As for the new commercial street, it is said that the dead are expensive and the dead are expensive. In this case, I don't want this money yet, and it is important for you to buy a shop first. ”

The old lady is somewhat knowledgeable and knows how to buy a shop first. In fact, this is also the case. After buying a shop, are you afraid that you won't have any money to make?

"It's okay, mother, we have enough money. It's just that the shop is two floors, and the backyard has a yard, which is very suitable for living. It's a lot better than ours. ”

"One more thing, I heard that the shop doesn't seem to be finished yet."

That's what she couldn't understand. The shop has not been repaired, but it is necessary to pay the silver first, and if it is regretted, it will not be returned, where is such a reason.

Hearing this, Li said: "It's not repaired, and a shop costs nine hundred and fifty taels." And just like that, there are less than ten left. ”

When Zhang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Then you quickly sell the longevity fruit and go and settle down this shop." If nothing else, it's good to not pay taxes alone. Hey, just our small shop, we have to pay fifteen taels a year. ”

Li said, "It's okay, mother, we'll go sell the longevity fruit tomorrow." And don't worry about that shop, we know Ye Feng and have already booked a shop in advance. Didn't I ask about the Immortal Fruit last time, and I just caught up. ”

"So where is the new shopping street? Is the location good? What kind of environment is around? "Zhang is becoming more and more business-minded now.

Li smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, the new commercial street is a newly built shop in Chenjia Village, the environment is very good, next to the mountain, is a forest." On the other side, it is next to the village of Chenjia Village. And in the middle, there is a small river. ”

When Zhang heard this, he put his mind at ease, thought about it and said: "If you don't want to leave twenty catties of longevity fruit anymore, let's use it as noodles and vegetables, and sell it for one hundred catties." I think this longevity fruit is simply a treasure, and it can be used with anything to make delicious dishes. ”

On the second day, the Zhang family came to the shop specializing in collecting longevity fruits with a small bag of longevity fruits, showed the quality of their longevity fruits to the shopkeeper, negotiated the price of 14 taels of silver per catty, and then went home to get the longevity fruits.

One hundred catties of longevity fruit were sold for 1,400 taels of silver.

Before the change, Li and Zhang will be very nervous. After all, that's a lot of money. However, the two of them have been in the city for a while now, and they have seen more.

Plus the security in the city is not bad, so there is no need to worry about it.

Li immediately took a hundred taels of silver tickets and stuffed them to Zhang, and then pushed the cloth bag containing ten catties of immortal fruits to her and said, "Mother, you can take it home quickly, and you will come back tomorrow, let's go to Chenjia Village to buy a shop together." ”

She knew that Zhang also wanted to see and see. Otherwise, she would have been able to go today.

Zhang did not refuse, turned around and hired a carriage, carried the longevity fruit and sat back to the village. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, in order not to attract attention, Zhang paid the money and got out of the car, ready to walk back.

I didn't know that the Feng family happened to be washing clothes at the entrance of the village, and when I saw the Zhang family, I was shocked. This Zhang family is not bad when he is young, and he is quite cool when he is old, and his appearance is good.

In addition, I have lived in the city during this time, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I have changed my clothes, and I have a silver hairpin on my head, no matter how I look at it, I look like an old lady from a rich family, and I look like a person from this village.

That's a thigh! You have to hold on tightly.

Feng Shi fished out the clothes from the water three times and twice, wrung them out a few times, and wiped his hands on his waist, and then rushed up with a wooden basin, and shouted sweetly: "Mother, mother, you are back, you wait for me." ”

Zhang's teeth itched with hatred, and the reason why she got out of the car early was to not attract attention. However, now the Feng family is pulling her all the way behind, screaming at the same time, and it is difficult to keep a low profile.

If she had known, she would have sat at the door of the house and then got out of the car. Anyway, when you get to the door, just put things away quickly. Now that I think about it, I miscalculated.

"Say anything, I can hear it, what are you yelling about! I'm not deaf. ”

Hearing this, Feng Shi said embarrassedly: "Mother, don't I see you holding so many things, come, give me this, I'll take it, it won't be good if you press your old man." ”

As he spoke, he went to get the little cloth bag.

Zhang's sideways let go, and Feng's grabbed the air. It's just that Zhang turned around again, took all the meat, vegetables, and so on, and said, "Then, this is heavy, you can take this." ”

Feng Shi didn't think it was a pestle, and with one hand he put the wooden basin next to his waist and lifted these things with the other hand and walked home. Not to mention, it's really heavy.

When he arrived at home, Zhang took a look at the situation at home. Although the Feng family has not moved away, they have built a wall in the good courtyard to separate the courtyard.

When I entered the door, I saw that everything in the yard was as old and clean, and my youngest son and two daughters were not as haggard as before, so I was a little relieved. It seems that during her absence, the Feng family did not dare to do anything excessive.

Of course, she knew that Feng was worried about the little silver in her hand. However, just keep it in mind, just don't dare to mess around, she only needs this effect.

At noon, the Yin family and the He family, who had already built another house, were called back, and the family had a reunion dinner.

After the meal, in front of everyone, Zhang said to Yin: "When I find a good craftsman, I will double this house and rebuild a courtyard house." During this time, your father and they are temporarily crowded in your house, do you think it will work? If you don't eat your house in vain, I'll give you the silver. ”

In this regard, Yinshi hurriedly said: "Look at what my mother said, my father and younger brothers and sisters came to live, and I was too late to be happy." "Her family is also living now, so naturally it is not bad.

Zhang nodded approvingly, feeling that this was what a daughter-in-law should look like. However, Feng Shi listened, didn't speak for a long time, and finally said: "Mother, when building a new house, can we repair it together?" ”

In this regard, Zhang said angrily: "The walls of this courtyard are all separated, and everyone in the village knows that we are separated." Naturally, they take care of each other, so there is no reason to help repair the house. On this side, let's talk about it later. ”

She originally planned to give twenty taels of silver to the Feng family and let them find another place to build a house by themselves. However, when I saw this wall, I felt very uncomfortable.

The wall was not built in a courtyard, but in her heart.

Although the eldest of her family is also pitiful, he is afraid of his wife. However, he actually did such an unprincipled thing by the Feng family, what else would he not dare to do in the future?

Thinking of this, Zhang felt that he would put this matter aside for a while and help later. Anyway, her youngest son has not yet married, and her two daughters have not yet been married. When all this is done, it's not too late to think about it.

When Feng heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Before the change, she dared to scold the Zhang family for a few words, but now she doesn't dare to argue with the Zhang family, who calls people have money.

After arranging the affairs of the family, hiding the longevity fruit, and going to the local mason, explaining the structure to be covered with brick walls and tiles, and paying the deposit, Zhang was ready to go back to the city.

It's just that when he left, Zhang's had an extra heart, and only left fifty taels of silver for Li Laohan to let him look at the expenses. After a few more words, he left.

A few large houses, built of brick walls and tiles, cost a maximum of thirty taels of silver. In the future, this house will be used for the younger son to marry, and the old couple will live in it, which is very spacious. The rest will be used as the family's expenses.

Even if the youngest son's family has to be separated in the future, then she will take her wife to live in the city. Li Shi said that when the shop in the new commercial street of Chenjiacun started to do business, the shop would not sell noodles at first, but would use the first floor to sell some groceries, and the second floor would still be lived.

At that time, she and her wife will live in the city and sell groceries, and they don't have to work in the fields, and this day will be very moist. And she is now used to life in the city, and she is reluctant to come back to live.

Early the next morning, a few people had just finished washing up and had not eaten breakfast, so Ruan Dalang drove to the door of the shop, and at the same time brought several children.

Seeing this, Li hurriedly let a few people into the store and made food with Zhang. After everyone had eaten, they prepared the silver and drove to Chenjia Village.

Although it was the first time to go, Ruan Dalang didn't need to ask for directions at all, just follow the car in front of him. The road is extremely wide and flat, making it easy to walk.

Li and Ruan Yuping have been here several times, and Li said while looking out the window: "This has changed too much. I always feel that every time I come, this place is different. ”

Ruan Yuping said: "Isn't it! Mother, don't you know yet, this Qingzhu Village and Nanmu Village can be regarded as completely developed now, and they are now following Chenjia Village to do things. ”

"What can they do?" Zhang's strange road, although close to each other, these two villages cannot grow longevity fruits.

Ruan Yuping said: "That's right, there are many bamboo forests in Qingzhu Village, which produce a lot of delicious food and can be sold for a lot of silver. And Chenjia Village has moved the big workshop to Qingzhu Village. Now, everyone in Qingzhu Village is working in it, and it is said that a person's salary for half a day is fifty wen. ”

When Zhang heard this, he said enviously: "That's it, it turns out that there is a big workshop." Remember your great-mother-in-law, right? Her second daughter married into Nanmu Village and has never had much contact with her mother's family. Some time ago, I suddenly went back to my parents' house and brought a lot of things with a large bag. Yesterday at dinner, your sister-in-law said that she brought back something called somen noodles, which is very magical. ”

Hearing this, Li Shi said puzzledly: "Noodles? What kind of face is that? "She's heard of hand-rolling, covering, pulling, and stretching, but she's never heard of noodles.

Zhang said: "I don't know, I just heard her say it, boasting there, it sounds like hanging the noodles up and drying them, and then wrapping them, a pound." It is said that the noodles are very thin, and they are also called silver noodles. ”

Ruan Yuping said: "That's it, I also heard that it is said that this side can be left for half a year without rotting, it is dry." When you want to eat, just boil the water and throw it into the pot, which is very convenient. In this way, after we bought the shop, we went to the Chenjiacun vegetable market to have a look, and I thought there was a sale. If there is, we will buy a few handfuls and eat them again. ”

When they arrived at Chenjia Village, the family was simply dazzled. Like many people, I felt as if I was in the city.

In order to maximize the popularity of the new commercial street, now, there is a fork at the entrance of this village, which is said to be a fast passage, which is also very spacious, and it is a new commercial street directly to drive through, and there is no need to go around the inside at all.

When he arrived at his destination, Nguyen Da Lang stopped the ox cart.

It's true that this place is much more remote than the place you just passed, but as Ruan Yuping said, the environment is very good. Although there are few people now, I think it will be popular in the future.

If you look closer, you will see a large forest on the left-hand side, but most of them are almond trees. Perhaps there were special people to build and clean the woods, and the woods were very neat and clean, and there were long benches to sit on a few meters under the trees.

On the right, although it is far away, you can see it clearly, it is a piece of villas, and it is the legendary Chenjia Village.

As for the small river in the middle, although it is narrower, it is better because the water is clear, and even the stones at the bottom of the river can be seen clearly. What's even more amazing is that this new commercial street is a little sloppy throughout. In other words, no matter how big the water is, it will flow down, and it should not flood the street.

Although this is still a construction site at the moment, and many shops are still under construction, it is foreseeable that it will be very lively in the future.

"Yuping, where is the shop we are going to buy?" Zhang really can't wait for a moment now.

She can understand that although the reputation of a businessman is not good, what is wrong with a bad reputation if he does business without stealing or robbing? They scavenged in the fields all year round, and they didn't have enough food and clothing, but it was better for her to help in a small shop.

In fact, Ruan Yuping didn't know, because Ye Feng only told her once, saying that it was on the right side of the street, next to Chenjia Village. By the way, there is also a number, which is called No. 21 New Commercial Street.

"Mom, I don't know where it is, I just know it's on the right, and then our shop is No. 21. Let's go and have a look on the right. ”

"I'm illiterate, so you can go ahead."

Ruan Yuping walked ahead, followed by Zhang.

Li and Ruan Dalang followed from a distance, because the four children were running around here. Fortunately, it is spacious and there are few cars, but you can't be careless. They are not familiar with this place, and if they run away, they will be in trouble.

Like the left side of the street, the shop on the right is the outermost part of the first repair, built from the outside in. So, the shop outside has already been built. Although the shop is expensive this time, it also has a good deal. That is, the appearance of the shop is decorated, and the yard behind it is also decorated, and the furniture is all neat, and you can live when you move here.

It's just that the shop is not decorated, after all, I don't know who bought it and what it was for. But considering the courtyard at the back, it is much more convenient, anyway, it is enough to live and decorate slowly.

Ruan Yuping noticed a row of words, and when she looked at it, it turned out to be "No. 01 New Commercial Street." After thinking about it, Ruan Yuping said: "Let's go, it's still far away, this is the first building, and we are the No. 21." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a young daughter-in-law in her twenties, who looked very energetic, walked out and asked with a smile, "How many of you came to see the shop?" Can I make a reservation? If not, I'm sorry, but the shop here is already sold out. ”

God, didn't you say two days ago that there were more than a dozen more, why are they sold out now?

Ruan Yuping said: "Yes, we booked the 21st. ”

Hearing this, the little daughter-in-law immediately came to her senses, looked Ruan Yuping up and down a few times, and then said curiously: "Girl, please say your name." "Ye Feng, this kid has never been married, so the people in the village are anxious about him.

To say that at his age, he can get married directly. Even if you are not in a hurry, you can make a marriage first. However, people are not in a hurry, and his father, who lives in the city, does not urge.

And this shop was specially ordered by him to stay. Although there are no other special instructions other than this, the people in the village know how to do it, and they have put a lot of effort into decorating this courtyard. In terms of materials and furniture, it can be used well, and it is never bad.

I saw such a girl with such a symbol today, so the little daughter-in-law took a few more looks, and at the same time wondered in her heart: "Could this be Ye Feng's sweetheart?" ”

Ruan Yuping saw that the other party was always staring at her, and after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of a reason, so she just honestly reported her name.

When the little daughter-in-law heard this, she turned and went back to the house. After a while, he came out and said enthusiastically: "Miss Ruan, you all come with me." I'll take you to see the shop. ”

With that, a carriage drove up. Wait for a few people to get into the car, and then drive towards the destination.

The Zhang family was taken aback by this battle, glanced at the Li family, and said in his heart, isn't it just to see a shop, and there is actually a carriage to pick him up. But the carriage was so comfortable, not to mention spacious, it was more stable than the ox cart.

Li smiled and shook her hand, signaling her not to be nervous.

The carriage was fast, and soon it came to a stop in front of a shop. Ruan Yuping saw that it was "No. 21 New Commercial Street".

After getting out of the car, the little daughter-in-law said, "Look, this is shop No. 21." This shop has a total of two floors, the upper and lower are of average size, and they are convenient for trading. ”

As he spoke, he took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as Zhang and Li entered the door, they fell in love with this shop completely, not to mention the spaciousness and brightness, and the layout was also very reasonable. When I got upstairs, I was even more satisfied. This place is located directly in front of the shopping street, and the second floor begins to see the river flowing along the shopping street, and the view is very wide.

Downstairs, there is a door around the corner on the first floor. It's just that the color of this door is the same as the wall, which is snow-white, so if you don't look carefully, you can't see that there is an exit here.

Push open the door and you'll find the backyard.

This courtyard is also practical, and there is no big pattern, but it is built directly after the shop in front, forming the appearance of a triple courtyard.

Zhang counted them, and there were six rooms in total.

Seeing that several people were smiling, the little daughter-in-law knew that the deal was done. Then again, except for a few very picky ones, there is nothing dissatisfied with the merchants who come to see the shop.

Her family bought one in grabbing, and it was still ranked within the top ten.

"Ye Feng specially instructed that if you buy this shop, you can get a discount, well, that is, you can give nine hundred taels." The little daughter-in-law said, this smile is impeccable, it's just that Ruan Yuping always feels weird, there is a feeling, well, ambiguous.
