Chapter 29, Twenty-One Years Old

The first day was such a waste, the second day, the four of them went to the market again, the two inquired about some news, learned about the basic situation and abundant items here, in the accidental inquiry, they heard that the imperial court seemed to plan to open the sea route, Chen Mofan saw a lot of business opportunities from this, they went back to ponder, and then went to ask Lao Yang to tell them a friend who was very authoritative here, and after spending a few days inquiring, the two knocked on the table and concluded that this business could not be missed.

When Jiang Xuan wrote a letter to Jiang Yuanyuan, he avoided the hardships of the journey, and after expressing that his life was very good, he said about the maritime business.

After receiving Jiang Yuanyuan's letter, when Jiang Yuanyuan asked for more seafood, Jiang Xuan directly bought a bunch of seafood and sent it back, the seafood here is cheap, Jiang Xuan didn't care about the price at all, but the transportation fee really made him feel a little distressed.

They hooked up with an official of the imperial court and began to understand the project, they actually communicated with foreign envoys, because a year ago, someone had rescued some strange people on the beach, and then these people were brought to the capital layer by layer, after learning that these people were foreigners, the imperial court decided the next route non-stop and opened up the sea route.

The development of the sea route means that there will be business opportunities to be transported from the seaside, which is something that Jiang Xuan and Chen Mofan are not willing to miss, but if they want to participate in the development of the sea route, they will inevitably go to sea with the team of the imperial court, not to mention anything else, this is a very dangerous thing, everything is still in place, and no one knows how deep the danger is.

Jiang Xuan resolutely decided to go after hesitating for two days, but he planned to hide it from Jiang Yuanyuan first, they had been here for more than two months, at first they smelled the smell of sea water and ate fresh seafood and felt novel, but now they are more and more disgusted, and they miss the food at home more and more, even Xun'er began to be a little noisy and disliked to eat, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but complain about this again and again in the letter, they finally knew why Lao Yang let them bring chili peppers, Half of the dozen catties of chili peppers they brought with them had disappeared, but that couldn't stop them from getting tired of these seafood.

Suddenly, one day, when Lao Yang and the others came again, a letter also came, this letter wandered in the middle of the road for a long time, and it came to him much later, which made people happy, these two things, brought good news.

Slow train chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, Jiang Xuan's eyes widened when he saw it, although there were no leafy vegetables they expected, but there were potatoes, green onions, etc., and the mushroom sauce made by Jiang Yuanyuan, Jiang Xuan looked at these things in surprise, and after looking at Chen Mofan a few times, he couldn't help crying excitedly.

That night, Chen Mofan cooked a table full of solid meals.

After eating, they carefully pondered what Jiang Yuanyuan meant, and after seeing that Jiang Yuanyuan wanted them to open a restaurant, Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up.

After Lao Yang gave these things away, Jiang Xuan locked these birds in a specially built yard, he took care of these things carefully every day, and he was very satisfied just by looking at them.

Chen Mofan quickly found the store, just near the port, a not big shop, but fortunately, there is a backyard, and the backyard is very large, this shop is a little expensive, it took nearly two hundred taels to plate down, they casually renovated it, let Jiang Yuanyuan bring the chef to live here, Chen Mofan himself as the shopkeeper, invited two juniors, after a lapse of more than a month, officially opened their shop.

As soon as it opened, their store was very well received. There are still a lot of people from the Central Plains here, and it is not easy to eat these meals after coming here for a long time, not to mention the taste is indeed okay, and there are some fresh orange soups to drink, which can be described as a good batch.

Originally, the two of them had been spending money when they lived here, but now, they finally have a source of income, and they earned back their capital in the second month, Jiang Xuan jumped three feet tall in surprise, and wrote a letter to Jiang Yuanyuan that night, and at the same time, he happened to receive a letter from Jiang Yuanyuan the next day.

"Grandma Liu?" Jiang Xuan was stunned, he didn't expect that they actually had one more Grandma Liu, who was actually a former friend of Grandma.

However, these things are not in the scope of Jiang Xuan's concern.

They have been here for half a year, and their lives are getting better and better, but Jiang Xuan has always been worried about the business in this sea, and he has a hunch that as long as he can come back, their business route will be opened.

Chen Mofan argued with him several times because of this matter, and this was also the first time between them, Chen Mofan resolutely opposed him, and they quarreled.

Chen Mofan took Xun'er to sleep in another room to express his disagreement, seeing that the official ship was about to depart at the end of June, but the anxiety between them became more and more intense, the little third son saw that something was wrong between the two, but he didn't know why, he didn't dare to say more, and tried hard to restore the relationship between the two.

When he received Jiang Yuanyuan's letter again, Jiang Xuan completely made up his mind that he would go to sea with this time.

The purpose of his coming out was to help Jiang Yuanyuan, but so far, Jiang Yuanyuan is still helping them, Jiang Yuanyuan is always worried about whether their life will be too bad, which makes Jiang Xuan feel very panicked, he is the elder brother!

After deciding to go out, Jiang Xuan began to continue to contact the people who had negotiated before, Jiang Xuan offered to contribute three thousand taels by himself, which was all the silver and all the savings they had earned in the past three months, and they quickly approached and set Jiang Xuan's quota.

Afterwards, Jiang Xuan began to buy some things to go out to negotiate, he learned some survival skills from some fishermen who occasionally went out to fish on the shallow sea, and then began to try to row out in the boat when the weather was good, floating in the sea for a day, and let himself forcibly get used to this feeling of floating on the boat.

Chen Mofan knew his decision, and became even more angry, he hid all the money in the family and refused to give it to Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan was silent, and stood in front of Chen Mofan's house with Xun'er, who was already two years old.

The third son is almost ten years old, he is half an adult, Chen Mofan sent him to study in the local academy, he has been busy with his studies recently, Chen Mofan let him go to live in the college, and only comes back once a week, so now there are only three of them in the house, and the three of them did not go to the store today, just because Chen Mofan knew about Jiang Xuan.

Chen Mofan wanted to do this business at first, but after learning about the crisis at sea, he wanted to give up, and then they opened a shop, he persuaded Jiang Xuan countless times to run the shop well, Jiang Xuan did give up for a while, but later felt that he couldn't miss this kind of opportunity, Chen Mofan didn't want Jiang Xuan to take risks, the two had a difference of opinion, there must be someone to compromise, Jiang Xuan has no opinions on weekdays, and Chen Mofan is expected to call the shots for everything, but this time, Jiang Xuan was unwilling to compromise at all.

After a few more days of stalemate, Jiang Xuan's day to go to sea came, because this operation was carried out in secret, so the ship went out in the middle of the night, Jiang Xuan woke up in the middle of the night and took out the sorted package to prepare to leave, he saw the silver ticket and some dry food on the table, he silently walked to Chen Mofan's door and pushed the door open, Chen Mofan fell asleep, Xun'er slept on the small bed on the side, Jiang Xuan walked to the bed and gently dropped a kiss on Chen Mofan's forehead.

He worshiped the Mazu Temple with the fleet, and then, one by one, the big ships slowly went away in an unknown and unseen corner.

Jiang Yuanyuan didn't receive a letter from Jiang Xuan for two months in a row, the letter was actually received, but it was not written by Jiang Xuan, but written by Chen Mofan, on New Year's Eve, she played for half a month and received a letter from Chen Mofan, the letter briefly told their lives, mentioning that they were doing well, but it didn't talk about Jiang Xuan, at the beginning of February, when the New Year was about to begin, she received the letter again, but it was still written by Chen Mofan, writing about the recent income, There is also the situation of Xun'er and Xiao Sanzi, for Jiang Xuan, he just said a few words that have been good recently, but he is a little busy when the New Year is approaching.

Jiang Yuanyuan's intuition is a little wrong, but it does seem to be getting busier and busier recently, there are a lot of summaries to be made at the end of the year, Jiang Yuanyuan herself is not clear, why do you have to summarize at the end of the year, will it be more comfortable? It's just going to be more tiring, right?

Another year has passed, Bai Xue is three years old, Jiang Yuanyuan is twenty-one, Jiang Yuanyuan calculated all the bills for this year, and found that this year's income and its good, three stores, the net profit is five thousand taels, although this five thousand taels are not included in the production price of marmalade and mulberry jam, after all, marmalade and mulberry jam are picked by Jiang Yuanyuan herself, basically there is no labor cost, when the orange harvest last autumn, it was also made by Jiang Yuanyuan herself, and the whole process did not go through the hands of others, At most, Huang Xuan helped her move an orange.

Of the net profit of five thousand taels, it took a lot of money to open a store later, Jiang Xuan also spent a lot of money anywhere, more or less calculated, after deducting these, they earned three thousand taels, half of which was given to Granny Hua, who came back for a while during the Chinese New Year recently, and left after selling eggs for a few days.

Jiang Yuanyuan took Bai Xue to Grandma Liu's place during the New Year, Mrs. Shangguan seems to have been living here, Jiang Yuanyuan has come several times,
