After two days of hard work, spicy noodles appeared in the lo-mei shop, the world's first product cafeteria, and the Niujia pastry shop.

As a result, the production of spicy strips was officially launched.

This spicy strip is relatively dry and has a heavy taste, so it has a long shelf life, so Liu Yifan asked the Zhou family to send sixty catties of tofu skin to Choushuwan every day for the first seven days.

Now this tofu workshop of the Zhou family has become the largest tofu workshop in ten miles and eight townships, which has aroused countless envious eyes, who would have thought that a bad gambler would have such good luck in the past?

At the end of November, the New Year's gift in the capital has also arrived.

The eunuch who came back to preach the holy decree, in addition to preaching the holy decree, also visited the garment factory, restaurant, food factory and literacy class, lived here for several days, heard many people praise Liu Yifan and his wife and thanked the emperor for his mighty words, plus Liu Yifan and his wife sent him something is also thick, after returning to Beijing in front of the emperor, Liu Yifan and his wife praised it, no, the emperor sent someone to send a bunch of rewards.

The emperor affirmed the achievements of Liu Yifan and his family in this year, especially the turning of duck feathers and goose feathers into treasure and the opening of literacy classes.

The people who give New Year's gifts are actually an elite team, because they are not only here to give things, but also to pull things.

What to pull? Of course, it is to pull the profits of various businesses so far!

Liu Yifan and his family settled a few days ago, leaving 2,000 taels as business development funds for next year and funds for road repair after the year, leaving half of the rest of the money for themselves, and the other half of 10,000 taels of silver for them to bring back to the capital to recover.

There are silver bills in this era, but unlike modern times, you can withdraw money from a bank, and the money village in this era is not as safe and reliable as modern banks, so Liu Yifan generally only has five hundred taels of silver bills in his hand to buy real estate, and other silver bills will be immediately exchanged for silver or gold bars and hidden.

Liu Yifan's family is too eye-catching in the village, so most of the funds are quietly placed in other villages.

On this day, let them rest and recuperate, and the next morning, Liu Yifan took them to Beizhuang to withdraw money.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Liu Erya hurriedly ran over, "Good news, good news!" ”

"What's the good news? Found a gold ingot? ”

"No, it's the evil lady of the Cen family, who was broken by Liu Mei's slut!" Liu Erya gloated and said, "They eat dogs and fight!" I just heard that Liu Mei was taken away by the people of the Yamen, and Cen has not woken up yet! Hahaha......"

"And this kind of thing!" Luo Ying was quite surprised, although Cen is no longer the village head, but her family conditions are not bad, there is a grocery store, there is a lot of land, and she has been the village chief for so many years, she must also have a lot of family background, this Liu Mei is bent on living a good life, how dare she do it with the Cen family? Aren't you afraid of being dismissed?

"Ma Guangyao brought people to Mrs. Liu's house, and now the fight is going on." Liu Erya was very excited, "Liu Mei, this slut, is still light, she should kill the dead old woman of the Cen family!" By the way, sister-in-law, do you want to go and watch a good show? ”

Hong hurriedly stopped and said, "Oops! Can't go! Miss Erya, her fists have no eyes, and now the young lady is pregnant, what if those who don't have long eyes accidentally hurt the young lady?? ”

At the beginning, Liu Mei and the Ma family hurt her so much, but now that the two dogs eat dogs, Liu Erya is of course excited, and she can't wait for them to lose and die!

"Alright then!"

Ma Guangyao's father and son and several of his cousins and cousins rushed to Mrs. Liu's house, which naturally attracted countless people to watch the excitement.

Later, it was the village chief who came forward, and the Ma family stopped.

"Why are they fighting?" Luo Ying also gossiped.

Liu Erya tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "I only heard that Liu Mei broke the dead old woman's brain, and she didn't wake up now." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Erya ran away again and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go and inquire and see what they are fighting!" ”

didn't wait for Liu Erya to gossip, but Grandma Li came.

"This Liu Mei can't see it, it's really ruthless!" Grandma Li sighed, "Cen's mother-in-law, I'm afraid I'm sad this time!" ”

"Is it serious?"

"Hmm." Grandma Li nodded and said, "I haven't woken up yet!" I heard that Liu Langzhong went to see it, and there was a big pit on his head! ”

"Why are they fighting?"

"I heard that Ma Guangyao was cheated, and their shop was lost by Ma Guangyao!"

"What does losing the bet have to do with the Liu family?" Luo Ying was puzzled, and then said with a look of sudden realization, "Could it be ...... Is this the Liu family deliberately cheating the Ma family? Is the gambling game related to the Liu family? ”

Grandma Li nodded: "If you want to say that the Ma family is not a thing, the Cen family bullied Erya at the beginning, and then bullied Liu Mei, plus Liu Mei herself is not angry and gave birth to a girl, which Cen family is a good one?" Liu Mei's life is even more difficult than the days of the second girl! When Liu Mei was a girl at home, you did all the work, how could she live! So if she doesn't do it well and does it slowly, the Cen family has no mercy on her, so Liu Mei and Liu Sanlang joined forces and cheated away the Ma family's money and the Ma family's shop, and now the shop is Liu Sanlang's! ”

"It's so exciting!" Luo Ying couldn't help but gloat.

"No! The Ma family is left with an empty shell, but the Cen family still yells at Liu Mei, and starts beating and scolding at every turn, Liu Mei doesn't want to bear it anymore, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight, and Cen's brain is opened! ”

"You can't live if you do your own evil!"

"Yes! You really deserve it! If they were willing to treat Erya well, how could it be such a field! Don't put the good ones, but treat the fish eyes as pearls! ”

"By the way, Grandma Li, now that the matter between Quanfu and Xiaoqian is completed, and the eight characters are also combined, when are you going to give the dowry?" Luo Ying asked.

Speaking of this topic, Grandma Li was happy: "On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, speaking of this, I was just about to discuss with you, how much do you say we should give this dowry?" Miss Zhang is also a child of a big family, if this is less, I'm afraid it will be ......"

"Actually, I personally think that as long as it's about the same as other people's families, as long as our Li family is good to other girls, Quanfu is wholeheartedly good to her, which is more important than giving gold and silver!" Luo Ying said, "The things are just prepared according to the normal preparation, in addition, I have some things from Xiaoyu and the emperor here, I will pick some of them for Ming'er, and you can take them to Quanfu as a dowry, so that it will be more decent." ”

"That can't be done, not done!" Grandma Li hurriedly waved her hand and refused, "Quanfu is married, how can I ask for your things as a dowry?" The emperor's reward and the things sent by Xiao Yu must be the best things, if it doesn't work, it's too wasteful! ”

"Grandma Li, how can this be called waste?" Luo Ying said, "I was still married from the Li family!" Quanfu is my brother, my brother marries a daughter-in-law, can't I, as a sister, send things? ”

"You kid...... If it weren't for you and Yifan, how could our Li family be where we are today? ”

"If you hadn't helped us then, where we would be today? Maybe it's all a handful of loess now! ”

"Phew! It's almost the New Year, but don't bother with this unlucky word! ”

"Just do as I say."

"That'...... Let's do it! Grandma Li agreed, but thought in her heart that when Luo Ying's child was born, she would return the gift a little more, and she couldn't take advantage of it.

After Grandma Li left, Luo Ying called the Hong family to clear out some of the things in the warehouse, the jewelry jade Ruyi given by the emperor or something, which cannot be used or given away, but what Xiao Yu gave can be transferred.

"Huh! What is it? Hong handed the box to Luo Ying and said, "Young lady, what do you think this is?" ”

"Yikes! It's raisins! Yesterday, a few of them looked for this for a long time but didn't find it. "Who would have thought that raisins would be packed in such a delicate and high-end box!

After Luo Ying finished speaking, she grabbed a few and put them in her mouth, sweet and sour, very delicious.

Raisins, a tribute to the Western Regions, are not available in the Central Plains at present, they are very rare, and Xiao Yu specially sent them.

"It's estimated that there are about ten catties here!" Luo Ying said, "This will give Grandma Li, the village head, the second uncle, and the eldest uncle half a catty to their family for a while, and keep the rest for themselves." ”

"Okay."

"This pair of bracelets and these two hairpins were sent to the Li family, and they were asked to take them to the Zhang family for employment."

Hong knew that Luo Ying was generous, and when he saw these things, he was still shocked, these four little things were worth a lot of money at a glance, and they were sent out without blinking an eye, which was too generous!

The Hong family sent the things to the Li family, and the Li family saw that their legs were weak!

Although they have never seen the world, they know whether it is worth anything when they look at the workmanship and material of the bracelet hairpin!

So Grandma Li sent the things back at that time, saying that she didn't want anything. In the end, Luo Ying used both soft and hard to give out a pair of bracelets.

Hey, when did it become so hard to send something?

"Sister-in-law, why hasn't my eldest brother come back? My stomach is flattening! "Touching his little belly with a look of grief.

I couldn't reach out my fingers outside, but Liu Yifan hadn't come back yet, and Luo Ying was a little worried.

"Let's eat first!" Luo Ying said, "Just leave a copy for your eldest brother." ”

After speaking, Luo Ying filled a bowl of Liu Yifan's favorite dishes and asked Hong's to put them in the stove room to warm them.

In winter, the city gate was closed in the middle of the day, but now that it was the end of the city, Liu Yifan had not returned, and Luo Ying was becoming more and more uneasy.

He had never been so late and hadn't come back.

At this time, Liu Yifan was lying on the bed in an inn, and there was a girl wearing only a belly pocket beside him......
