Chapter Seventy-Nine: Reward a Big Red Flower
"Resignation?" Xia Yan was a little surprised, "Where is Uncle Fu going?" ”
"My young master ordered me to take over Ruyi Zhai in Qin County as early as a month ago, and I am ashamed to say that the old man did not arrange the affairs of Cloud Town until the day before yesterday. It was really inappropriate to delay such a long time, so the old man planned to leave tomorrow. Fu Duozhi saluted Xia Yan again, "It's not a secret, the old man was able to go back there thanks to the girl's help, if it weren't for the girl's oranges for me to earn some credit, I'm afraid I would have to spend the rest of my life in Cloud Town." ”
"Where should I go, it turned out to be Qin County." Xia Yan smiled, "Qin County is not far away, if you want to Yan'er, you can get there in half a day." ”
"That's right." Fu Duozhi sighed, "But almost everyone in Qin County is light on agriculture and business, and it is very common for people to go to restaurants to eat, so that Ruyizhai's business is exceptionally good, and the old man is busy but he doesn't even have the time to go home, let alone take a day to see Yan'er." ”
It was the first time Xia Yan heard this statement, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Since you don't pay attention to agriculture and business, where does the income of the people in the county come from?" ”
"It is also God's appreciation of food, Qin County's sorghum wine is famous far and wide, and at least eight of the ten households in the county are related to wine. Some collect sorghum from towns and villages and resell it, some specialize in making koji, some make wine, and some are responsible for transporting wine to other places for sale. Because the cost of opening a winery is too high, the wine in Qinxian County is scattered to each family, and every year as long as the specified amount is brewed and handed over to a few families who receive wine. However, sake brewing only has to be busy for a few days, and the rest of the time is not to stay at home and sit idly, so in order to pass the time, you can only start eating, drinking, and having fun. ”
Xu Changping took a sip of tea and continued: "The folk customs of the entire county have come to this point, so in Qin County, whether it is a restaurant restaurant or a casino Qinglou, it is very popular. ”
"Since the business is booming, Uncle Fu should be happy." Xia Yan looked at Fu Duo's brows tightening, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you still show such an expression?" ”
"Well, you don't know." Fu Duozhi shook his head, "It is precisely because of the folk customs that the people there are accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the taste is extremely tricky. There are even people who are tired of eating the dishes of all the restaurants in the county, and drive the carriage for a few days and nights, and go to the next county to eat, just to get a fresh. ”
"What's even more love-hate is that the people of this Qin County have to eat four meals a day, and when they are full of dinner, they will go out to have fun, and they will eat another meal. When it's time for the hour, someone will come out and wait for breakfast. Therefore, Ruyi Zhai in Qin County has always been closed at the time of the child and opened at the time of the hour. Fu Duozhi sighed deeply, "This is also the reason why I can't even go home when I'm so busy." ”
"This ...... This folk custom is really a bit special. Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh.
You must know that there are some poor places in China that only eat two meals a day because of the low crop yield. That is, because of the fertile land, the grain production in the same state is higher than that of other places, and only three meals a day can be eaten.
It can be seen how luxurious it is for people in Qin County to eat four meals a day, and it is also in line with Fu Duozhi's sentence, which is really a blessing for God.
But the wine industry in Qin County is so developed?
Is it so simple that people in nearly a county can eat and drink without worry?
The more Xia Yan thought about it, the more strange she felt, and she couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Xia Yan's question, Fu Duozhi laughed and said: "Making money is making money, but most of the money is in those wine merchants, and it is distributed to others, but there are not many." As for why they can live a decent life without much money, the answer is simple. People here disdain to do business, and they don't have the consciousness to save money, and their money is spent for it. In line with this mentality of having one flower and one spending two, the vast majority of people in Qin County can't save any money. And because they don't like to do business, at least half of the people who come here to set up shop are people from outside the county. ”
"If the wine in Qin County can't be sold one day, how will they live?"
"Maybe no one has ever thought about this kind of problem, after all, Qinxian sorghum wine has a history of more than 100 years, whether it is this folk custom, or the craft of winemaking, it has been passed down for several generations and has long been deeply rooted, I'm afraid no one thinks that this wine will not be sold."
After speaking, Fu Duozhi looked at the sun outside, and hurriedly got up and said, "Miss Yan'er, it's not early, the old man has to rush back to pack up his things and say goodbye." ”
"Yan'er sent Uncle Fu out." As he spoke, he followed Fu Duozhi towards the door.
As he walked, Fu Duozhi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot to tell you, you don't have to worry about Tianxianglou in the future." About a month ago, the prefect had already sent someone to copy it. I don't know if their brains are in the water, and they dare to collude with bandits to rob people's property, isn't this looking for death? Well, I don't know which family suffered from this. ”
If Xia Yan guessed correctly, Fu Duozhi should have said that it was a group of thieves who came to his house to grab seeds more than a month.
Since she woke up that day, she could not find any trace of the bandits, and no matter who she asked, she said that she did not see them, as if they had evaporated from the world.
She knew that those people were sent by Tianxianglou, but she couldn't find any evidence.
I thought that things would pass so unclearly, but I didn't expect the government to take action.
I don't know which kind-hearted person went to report to the official, and I didn't expect that the efficiency of the prefect of Tongzhou was so high, so that Xia Yan couldn't help but have a better impression of this prefect who had never met before.
Seeing Xia Yan suddenly laugh, Fu Duozhi was a little puzzled, but he still continued: "With the collapse of Tianxiang Building, Ruyi Zhai can be regarded as having a firm foothold in Cloud Town, and I can rest assured that I can hand it over to others." ”
Suddenly, he sighed: "This feels like raising a child with my own hands, watching him finally have the ability, but he has to give it away, it's really a little reluctant." ”
"Don't worry, Uncle Fu." Xia Yan hurriedly comforted, "You still have Ruyi Zhai in Qin County, I believe it will definitely go to the next level under your leadership." ”
Fu Duozhi just smiled reluctantly and said: "I just hope that no one will ever make trouble there, the people in Qin County are really not good to serve." ”
"It's okay, when Uncle Fu goes, there will be a lot of delicious food there, and they will definitely be obedient."
Listening to Xia Yan's words, Fu Duozhi suddenly felt a lot more relieved, "Also, with Zhao Er with him, he will definitely be able to clean up that group of picky guys." ”
Before they knew it, the two of them had come to the door.
Xia Yan looked at the back of Fu Duozhi leaving, suddenly smiled, and said to himself: "Uncle Fu, we will meet again in a few days." ”
Just as Xia Yan was about to enter the house, the sudden system prompt made her almost jump up in fright: "Congratulations to the host, you have been promoted to level five, and you will be rewarded with red pepper seeds and red rose seeds." ”
"Chili? Rose? Hearing the new reward, she forgot to blame the system, and hurriedly ran back to the house and lay flat on the bed, allowing consciousness to enter the space.
Entering the space, Xia Yan opened the mall and bought some pepper seeds and rose seeds.
Seeing these two seeds, Xia Yan was excited and puzzled.
I am excited that I finally don't have to eat those light foods for her every day, she used to be a girl who was not spicy or happy, but after coming here, without the stimulation of chili peppers, she felt that she didn't feel fragrant when she ate.
The puzzle is that in the past, the system rewarded seeds of grains, vegetables and fruits, but why did it reward flowers this time?
Is it difficult to think that she is doing well and want to reward her with a big red flower?
But isn't it the red peony that is most like a big red flower?
Forget it, just assume that the system likes roses.
Thinking of this, Xia Yan no longer bothered with the question of why the system would send flowers, but hurriedly bought some peppers and planted them, looking forward to its rapid ripening.
Because she's going to eat hot pot! Eat hot pot!
On a cold day, eating hot pot with a fireplace, my mouth is watering when I think about it.
Looking at the chili peppers that had been planted, Xia Yan suddenly felt that she had to invite some more people to come, after all, eating hot pot, of course, the more people there were, the more lively it was, so she folded her hands and counted it.
"First of all, my mother and brother will definitely participate in bringing nine subordinates, followed by my brother and my brother's master, and then Xiaohu's family, Lizheng's grandfather and grandmother...... and Brother Liu, who helped me...... And also...... And Mu Fan! Xia Yan was annoyed, "Why did you forget this stubble?" ”
She suddenly remembered that she had accepted Anzhi and Tinglan sent by Mu Fan, but she hadn't thanked him yet, and he seemed to be annoyed that day, so did she have to apologize by the way?
Thinking of this, after she quickly planted some roses, she hurriedly withdrew from the space, picked up the basket and filled it with some oranges, and called Shang Anzhi and Tinglan to hurriedly run towards Mu Fan's house.
"Master! Master! Xia Yan, who was far away, saw Xu Changping walking around the door, and hurriedly shouted.
"What's the matter, why is Yan'er running so fast? Didn't the teacher teach you to be a calm and unhurried person, and not be shocked by humiliation? Xu Changping frowned, "You are not what a lady should be." ”
"Okay, Master, is there any lady who learns to dance with knives and guns all day long, and flies the eaves and walks the wall?" At this time, Xia Yan had already run to Xu Changping, "Don't ask me with that little daughter's behavior." ”
"The little daughter's behavior?" Xu Changping felt angry and funny, "Yan'er, who swore in front of me that he wanted to be a beautiful lady who can do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Could it be that I have poor hearing behind my ears? ”
Xia Yan stuck out her tongue, she said that's right, but today is different from the past, she can't care so much, so she can only say: "Yes, Master, it must be that you are old and have poor hearing behind your ears." ”
