Chapter 169: Think long-term
"Mother, you are too much, I gave this silver to Sister An and Xiu'er." Shen Anting's face was dark, what kind of virtue his mother was, several of them knew it.
"They don't want it themselves, and it's not that I don't give it." Cao's words directly blocked what Shen Anting was going to say.
Shen Anan couldn't help but glance at his brother and asked him not to worry about it anymore.
Shen Anting had to quickly put away the money bag, and the province's eyes blinked, and it was gone again.
"Brother, is everything going smoothly when I go to Ruizhi Hall today, Shopkeeper Tong didn't embarrass you, right?" After the turmoil of dividing the silver, Shen An'an asked about Shen Anting's visit to Ruizhi Hall today, after all, she wanted to understand what happened and see their attitude.
"It's okay, they're all nice to me." Shen Anting immediately said how he went to Ruizhi Hall today.
When I went to Ruizhi Hall today, it was Zhao Chunhua who accompanied him. Zhao Chunhua was going to Ningfu to deliver the hundred pairs of cloth shoes, and she accompanied Shen An'an to Ruizhi Hall last time, so she took Shen Anting with her, which was considered familiar.
However, when the two of them first went, they were still very nervous. After all, the last time the people who sold herbs and negotiated with the shopkeeper of Ruizhi Hall were all Shen An'an's head, and Zhao Chunhua was a background board at best.
This time, she was asked to speak. Fortunately, after getting through the initial embarrassment, the shopkeeper Tong heard that he was Shen An'an's brother, and he looked at the rhubarb a little and weighed it.
When the shopkeeper Tong looked at the rhubarb, Shen Anting felt nervous in his heart, and the time of that meeting seemed to be like a century. When the shopkeeper Tong put down the rhubarb and walked into the house with his hands behind his back, Shen Anting thought that this business was going to be shaking. The shopkeeper Tong waved his hand and ordered: "Send it to the weighing." ”
Shen Anting was so excited that he almost jumped up. Zhao Chunhua pulled his sleeve even more excitedly, and almost pounced on him. Fortunately, she realized that her behavior was inappropriate and quickly restrained herself. She realized that her behavior was inappropriate and quickly restrained herself.
Shen Anting would think of the experience during the day, as if he was in a dream, and when he thought of the nervousness of the time when he was too much, he had some palpitations. thought to himself, there must be more or less Shen An'an's role in this, which is why he is so polite to him.
"Shopkeeper Tong is really interesting, this time I didn't even deduct the loss, and after weighing, I asked them to give me this bag of silver." Shen Anting is now half the pillar of the family. But it was the first time to earn so much silver, this time the rhubarb was harvested, dried, selected, cleaned, including the rhubarb charcoal made later, all by his own hands, thinking about those days of his hard work, he was very satisfied.
Shen Anan saw that his brother could take charge of himself, and Shen Anan was very happy for him, after all, it was better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. They have the skills to survive and can live well without her in the future.
What they need now is to broaden their horizons and be bold enough to do what they want to do. Shen An'an's role is to thread the needle.
"So I said, it's your own credit, you see this time from you digging rhubarb to making rhubarb charcoal, I haven't helped once." In fact, the production process of rhubarb is not complicated, it is nothing more than mastering the heat, as long as the action is proficient, it is very easy to operate.
"Brother, you can do it."
Shen Anting's face praised by his sister didn't know where to go. "Yes, by the way, the shopkeeper Tong asked me why you didn't go, and said that he missed the fish hot pot you made last time."
Shen Anan couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Thinking of the appearance of the shopkeeper Tong's big foodie, the mood is also very good. Probably the last time she made a fish hot pot that tasted good, and hooked out their gluttony.
"By the way, Dr. Song also asked me about you." Shen Anting couldn't help but feel a little distracted when he thought of the short contact with Song Ling.
"Doctor Song, is he in the store today? Didn't go out to see a doctor. ”
"Well, when I met him, he was carrying a medicine box on his back, like he had just come back from outside. When he heard that I was coming, he made a point to say a few words to me. After seeing Song Ling, Shen Anting knew what it meant to be a humble gentleman and gentle and elegant. Looking at his appearance, it makes people feel peaceful.
After Shen Anting saw Song Ling, he had a good impression of him, which made him feel that this Song Ling and his sister were very compatible. It's a pity that there is still a person named Li Sheng in this world.
"Well, I'm going to the town tomorrow to do some business, and I'll go see them when I have time, they'll be nice to me."
When Cao heard the brother and sister talking about Song Ling, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "How old is this Doctor Song, is he married?" ”
Shen Anan couldn't help blinking his eyelids and said, "Mother, there are several rooms for other people's wives, so don't think about it too much." ”
"Ah, that's so old." Cao couldn't help but shake his head.
Shen Anting couldn't help but laugh, and glanced at Shen An'an, as if appreciating her for doing a good job.
What idea Cao's heart played, the brother and sister both knew that they just wanted to find a good in-law for Shen An'an. But it won't be enough to meet an unmarried man with good conditions, so he will mess up some mandarin duck music for his daughter.
Besides, the Cao family was still praising Li Sheng in front of him, he was handsome, he had a good heart, and the key was to be good to Shen An'an, so he turned his mind to Song Li in a blink of an eye.
Fortunately, as soon as Cao Shi came up with the idea of asking, Shen An'an saw through her intentions, and went over directly with a word, strangling her thoughts in the cradle.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Shen Anting glanced at his sister
"We'll see when the time comes, or let my dad send me."
Shen Sanlang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke, "Brother Ting, you are busy collecting rhubarb at home, and I will accompany Nizi to the town for a walk, and it just so happens that my cigarette is gone." ”
Cao couldn't help but glance at Shen Sanlang, and when he saw that he was finished eating, he was holding a cigarette he bought from the town in his hand, and couldn't help but glance at him. "If you go to the town tomorrow, remember to buy some fine noodles and come back, and you also have to buy some fragrant pancreas and soaphorns for the girls at home."
"I just buy my cigarettes, and I'll leave the rest to Sister An, where will I buy those things."
Cao couldn't help but roll his eyes up, and was about to say Shen Sanlang, but Shen Anan snatched the conversation. "Mother, what do you want to buy tomorrow, tell me later, and tell me what the rest of you need, I will make a list and buy it all at once tomorrow."
After eating, Shen Anan wrote and painted in the room, making a small plan for tomorrow's trip to the town. Shen Anxiu was helping the Cao family wash and wash together. Since Shen Anan started the herb business, his status in the family is like that of most of the head of the family. So the Cao family took care of all the trivial things in the family, even if she wanted to do it, the Cao family rushed to come.
Now that Shen Anxiu is here, just for the Cao family and the two of them, Shen Anan is completely idle.
However, Shen Anan is not an idle master, she is going to meet with that Liu Ruhai to see if anyone has ordered a painting during this time. She has been to Li Mansion for more than half a month, and it is estimated that Liu Ruhai has nowhere to find her even if he wants to.
Doing the herb business is just a measure for her interests, and the profit is not very large. After a long time, the processing process of rhubarb may not be a secret.
There is also wild rhubarb in the mountains, which is not in supply and is also a big problem. They only pick, they don't plant, they don't have post-maintenance, or they plant large areas, so over time, this supply chain will break.
If they want to make their business bigger and better, they have to put some thought into it. Or go further away to purchase, or only be responsible for processing with incoming materials, etc.
"Hey, this matter can't be rushed, we have to think about it in the long run." Shen Anan took the pen and discussed the four words on the paper, and he drew it for a while.
After a night without words, Shen Anan was busy until midnight before climbing into bed and going to sleep. The quilt at home had a musty smell, and Shen An endured the musty smell and gradually fell asleep. The conditions at home cannot be compared with the Li Mansion, but it can make people feel very at ease. In the Li Mansion, even the bedding used by the maids is a very good material, and it is often washed with pulp, and it is very clean.
Shen Anan immediately decided that the first thing she would do tomorrow was to buy a few new sets of sheets and bedding.
Early the next morning, the family gathered for breakfast and chatted with their parents. The breakfast eaten was made by Shen Anxiu early in the morning, with clear porridge, pancakes, and white steamed buns, from the Shen family's breakfast, from the improvement of quality to quantity, it can be affirmed that Shen An'an's role can be determined.
Shen Anting hated Xiao 66 in his mouth, but before going to bed at night, he secretly made a small tiger den for it. When Shen An'an saw it in the morning, he was quite happy and praised Shen Anting.
He also assured Shen Anan that he would take Xiao 66 to hunt, so that Shen Anan could rest assured that Xiao 66 would be handed over to him.
It was really inconvenient for Shen Anan to go to the town with a smile 66, so he agreed.
After Shen Saburo had breakfast, the father and daughter went on their way.
Shen Anting is sitting at home, and by the way, ** small 66,. The Cao family went up the mountain to dig herbs, and Shen Anxiu was responsible for cooking at home, boiling water, and the like.
Shen Sanlang drove the carriage and walked halfway down the road to know that the Li family's stone mine was about to start.
"Can we get started? It's great. It stands to reason that Shen Saburo doesn't need to go to the stone mine to do manual work now, but when he heard that the stone mine was fine, he was really happy in his heart.
"Workers should be notified to work in the next few days, but don't say it until it is announced." For the sake of safety, this matter should not be publicized.
Shen Saburo nodded and shook the horsewhip in his hand loudly. The speed of the new carriage was fast, and the two of them arrived in the town in a short time.
Shen Anan went to Liu Ruhai first, Shen Sanlang thought that his daughter was going to buy paper and pencils, so he didn't follow up.
"After you buy it, stand here and don't leave, I'll go buy cigarettes, and I'll be back later."
"Hey, Dad, go ahead, I won't run around." Shen Anan needs to talk about a lot of things when he finds Liu Ruhai, and of course he won't be able to leave so soon.
Shen Sanlang suddenly took a step and went to buy cigarettes. After the family conditions were more comfortable, Shen Sanlang didn't need to roll those useless tobacco leaves, and went directly to the town to buy that kind of cigarette rolls. This kind of cigarette roll with good quality is really much stronger to smoke than before.
