Chapter 126: The Zheng Family's Mansion Fight
The Zhao family told the story of the Qiu family, and when they heard it, Liu Fu was also angry, on the one hand, he was angry at the sincere eyes of the big red, and on the other hand, he was angry that the Qiu family was too deceitful.
At the beginning of Zhao Hong's marriage into the Qiu family, the Qiu family fulfilled its promise and handed over the responsibility of the family and the bun shop to Zhao Hong, the mother-in-law only took care of raising flowers and plants, and the father-in-law only took care of shopping and walking birds.
Qiu Shan is a diligent person, but because he has just taken over the steamed bun shop business from Qiu Niangzi, he is confused about optical bookkeeping, buying ingredients, and delivering orders, and the kitchen things such as bread buns can't help Zhao Hong at all.
Zhao Hong is a young girl, a first-time wife, that is, she has to manage noodles, stuffing, buns, and selling buns, as well as the family's food and clothing, knitting women, and iron-beaten women, and she can't handle such a big plate.
I want to hire a guy, Qiu's father, Qiu Niangzi and Qiushan objected in unison, saying that the Qiu family is a small family, and they have just opened a small shop next to it to expand the bun shop, how can they have more money to hire people? almost didn't scold Zhao Hong for being a loser.
In this way, it only lasted for less than half a month, and the exhausted Zhao Hong could only beg her mother-in-law to take care of the family feed again, and concentrate on taking care of the business in the store.
Although it has been replaced by a preserved fruit shop next to it and doubled the shop, in fact, the sparrow has become a quail, only a little bit larger, and the big restaurant is far from comparable, even so, the Qiu family's steamed bun shop has shown a leap forward, and there is an endless stream of people queuing up to buy steamed buns every day, and the Autumn Mountain father and son no longer have to walk the streets and alleys to sell steamed buns.
When Zhao Hong and Akiyama were working hard, an uninvited guest came to the house----- Akiyama's aunt and family of three.
Qiu Niangzi's maiden name is Lin, she has an older brother and a younger sister under her.
Just say that this sister Lin Shuang, in the early years of seventeen years to a neighboring county surnamed Zheng Mingshuang to fill the house, the Zheng family took advantage of the value of the people, in the three counties have opened a big restaurant, can be regarded as a rich family wearing silk Luo, with pearls and emeralds, if it is not for the death of two ladies in front, the head lady will not be able to take the turn of a poor sour family like the Lin family.
Zheng Shuang's first lady, and Zheng Shuang are childhood sweethearts, a young couple, who saved the family business together and gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Zheng Mu is more than 30 years old, and Lin Shuang, a young lady, is about the same age, has married a wife and has children, and is in charge of most of the family's business; The second son, Zheng Lin, is also twenty and five years old, marries a wife and has children, and Zheng Mu is a mother and a brother.
Zheng Shuang's second lady is Zheng Shuang's sister-in-law Xu Xian, who gave birth to a daughter and died in childbirth, and her daughter Zheng Zhu was twenty years old and married outside. Although Zheng Mu and Zheng Lin are not compatriots of the same mother, because the mother of the three is a sister, Zheng Zhu was brought up by Zheng Mu's daughter-in-law Jia when she was young, so the relationship is very cordial, and it is no different from a belly crawling out.
Zheng Shuang's third lady is Lin Shuang, when she married, Zheng Mu was fifteen or sixteen years old, followed Zheng Shuang to learn to run the Zheng family's business, married Jia's family, took charge of the family's feed, and raised her two-year-old sister Zheng Zhu by her side.
Lin Shuang was dissatisfied, hanged, played, and coquettish, and tried all kinds of ways to get the power of the family back from his daughter-in-law Jia's hands, and finally provoked Zheng Shuang to be dissatisfied, and scolded Lin Shuang for being delusional, and Lin Shuang guessed the clue of the matter.
Before marrying Lin Shuang, Zheng Shuang was afraid that Lin Shuang, the stepmother, would treat the children in the first two litters harshly, especially Zheng Zhu, who was just two years old, and Zheng Lin, who was less than ten years old, so he simply handled the family affairs of his eldest son Zheng Mu before marrying the house, and let his daughter-in-law Jia Shi take charge of the family, raise a brother and a sister, and carry Lin Shuang into the door after being properly settled.
Lin Shuang passed the door and found that in the Zheng family, she was the head lady who filled the house in reputation, but in fact it was just equivalent to a warm bed.
Lin Shuang even felt that the most faceful maids in the family were better than her.
Fortunately, Lin Shuang was angry, and gave birth to a brother Zheng Sen with a stick in his first child, so Jia didn't dare to slack off, eating and wearing, everything was the best in Zheng's house; Gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin season do not fall, there are many festivals, and the monthly silver is doubled in length.
For his son Zheng Sen and daughter Zheng Shu, he is even more responsive, even if he causes trouble, the Jia family begged Zheng Mu to suppress them one by one and not let Zheng Shuang know.
Gradually, Lin Shuang thought that this Jia family was a dough woman, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, becoming more and more unscrupulous, not only did she often put her mother-in-law's money, but also begged for silver and jewelry, set rules for Jia's family, and even encouraged her mother's family to fight the autumn breeze.
The Jia family was unhappy at the beginning, but after being troubled by Lin Shuang once, it was as if he had opened his mind, and his hands were loose and tight to the Lin family, and he was very easy to talk to, and in the past twenty years, he took out nearly 1,000 taels of silver inside and out.
Of course, according to Lin Shuang's temperament, naturally not all of them will be cheaper, and nine times out of ten, the silver still flows into Lin Shuang's own purse, and the Lin family only gets one-tenth of it.
Lin Shuang slowly hoarded a lot of silver in his hands, proudly thinking that Zheng Mu and his wife were not his opponents, until Zheng Sen gambled and lost more than 1,000 taels of silver a year ago, Zheng Mu and Jia Shi told Zheng Shuang about the past account "with tears in their eyes", Zheng Shuang scolded Zheng Sen for "mud can't support the wall", scolded the Lin family for being "blood-sucking leeches", and no longer paid attention to Lin Shuang, and even filled three rooms in the house in a row.
Lin Shuang realized at this time that he was the one who was really stupid, fell for Zheng Mu and his wife, lost the opportunity to let Zheng Sen compete with Zheng Mu as an adult, and also made Zheng Shuang disgusted with himself for a while.
Lin Shuang was unwilling, and wanted to reverse the decline as soon as possible, proving that the Lin family was not leeches and Zheng Sen was not muddy, and wanted to snatch Zheng Shuang's heart back from the hands of those three little.
This was the trip to Lin Shuangqiu's house, and before that, she also went back to the Lin family, but the result was not satisfactory.
When I arrived at Qiu's house, I found that Qiu's family had changed a lot, and there was a cornucopia-like soup dumpling business that I didn't know it.
The bride Zhao Hong is as busy as a headless fly every day, at most she steam twenty drawers of steamed buns, and is bought in a queue, and most of the people who sell them are also poor and sour husbands who walk the streets and alleys, earning less than two taels of silver.
Lin Shuang has been in the Zheng family for many years, and no matter how stupid she is, she will have three ideas, wanting to use the hand of pouring soup dumplings to make Zheng Sen raise his eyebrows in one fell swoop, win back Zheng Shuang's heart, and even the Zheng family's business, and defeat Zheng Mu and his wife.
Lin Shuang slapped the two hundred taels of silver ticket in front of the Qiu family, and threatened to open the Zheng family restaurant in Jiangyin County, buy the recipe for the buns, and if the brother-in-law or Qiu Shan wanted, he could be the shopkeeper and account of the Zheng family restaurant, and give ten taels of silver a year.
was so frightened that Qiu Niangzi pinched herself hard, and found that it hurt very much, not a dream; I touched my sister's forehead again and found that it was not hot, not a fever.
Qiu Niangzi calculated the accounts, according to the current business, even if she can earn two taels of silver a month, she can only sell twenty taels of silver a year, and she can earn two hundred taels of silver in ten years.
If you sell the recipe, you can get two hundred taels of silver at one time, and the father and son work as shopkeepers and accountants in the Zheng family, and they will have twenty taels of silver a year, which can be said to be a pie falling from the sky.
The Qiu couple agreed, but Qiu Shan and Zhao Hong strongly objected.
Akiyama objected because although the bun shop was small, it was his own business;
Zhao Hong objected because although she knew the recipe for the buns, she didn't know how to make skin jelly, but her mother Zhao sent Zhao Ergang every other day, and without Zhao's consent, she strongly opposed the sale of the bun formula, not to mention two hundred taels, even one thousand taels.
Things froze here like this, Zhao Hong was not happy, seeing that Qiushan was on her side, and the three members of the Zheng family also returned to the Zheng family for the New Year, so they put the matter down, and did not say to listen to their mother's family, so as not to fill Zhao's heart and make a mess against the Qiu family.
Until a few days ago, Zhao Hong ate and vomited, Qiu Niangzi came to Lang Zhong and diagnosed the happy pulse, and the family was overjoyed.
Qiu Niangzi even changed her attitude towards Zhao Hong's yin and yang weirdness, and took care of it meticulously.
Akiyama even thought that Zhao Hong was a clay sculpture, so that Zhao Hong lay on the couch and did not let him move, and even brought the washing water to the couch and waited, for fear of moving the fetus.
Zhao Hong felt like a bee falling into the honey pot, sweeter than sweeter.
I don't know if it's because of the Chinese New Year, or because the reputation of the Qiu family's steamed buns has spread, Zhao Hong is pregnant, and there are more and more people who order steamed buns, many of them are big families, and they go to Liuhe Village four times a day to get skin jelly, and even the Zhao family is miserable.
Qiu Niangzi took over the business of the steamed bun shop without saying a word, and complained to Zhao Hong every night, pitiful Zhao's hard work for a while, and boiled several large pots of skin jelly a day; After a while, he put a gun and a stick, indicating that it was Zhao Hong's compensation, but the Zhao family did not let go of the recipe of skin jelly, obviously wanting to earn the Qiu family's silver through skin jelly, and Zhao Hong turned his elbow out.......
With such a combination of soft and hard, Zhao Hong finally couldn't resist the offensive of Qiu Niangzi, and when she returned to Zhao's house to give a gift a year ago, she told Zhao about her pregnancy, and she also knocked on the side to get up the formula for skin jelly.
Zhao Hong didn't know how to play tricks, although she deliberately covered it up, she still said all the words of Qiu Niangzi.
Zhao was secretly annoyed that Qiu Niangzi wanted the formula, and said anything to poke her heart, and was afraid that Zhao Hong would be pregnant and bothered, thinking that Zhao Hong had a body, and her status in the Qiu family was unshakable, and the Qiu family only had one son in Qiushan.
After thinking about it, Zhao demonstrated the method of skin jelly to Zhao Hong, and Zhao Hong went home diligently and demonstrated Autumn Mountain.
Everything is just the beginning.
On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the whole Zheng family came to visit Qiu's house, this time, not only Lin Shuang, Zheng Sen and Zheng Shu came, but even Zheng Shuang, Zheng Mu and Jia also came, and specially ate the buns made by Qiu Niangzi.
Zheng Shuang's eyes lit up, and he cast an approving look at Lin Niangzi and Zheng Sen.
Zheng Mu and his wife couldn't help but look at each other, and at the same time squinted lightly, not knowing if they didn't want to.
On that day, the men of the Zheng family and the Qiu family closed the door tightly and talked with candles until dawn the next day.
