Chapter 311: Grain Shop
Yuan Ru asked Bai Miaomiao to buy it outside, and at this time, the people of the Lao Hua family can be regarded as understanding the degree of destitude of this county government, and the entire huge county government, except for them, there is only one errand catcher, and there is no maid or maid. Do everything yourself.
On weekdays, in the mountain village, the morning food is made of their own grain, and they can do whatever they want, although the taste is not very good, but they can also be eaten. However, when they arrived in this county, because the things had not been cleaned up, the kitchen was a little dirty, so even if they brought food, they could not make it themselves.
However, the things in the county town are indeed very delicious, but the price is also interesting, and the old flower family has a large population, but this meal cost three dollars of silver.
"This silver is really useless, the county costs a lot, and it is not like before in the countryside to be self-sufficient, let's think of a way to make money as soon as possible." Hua Qi was a little worried, the family's silver had spent a lot of money because of the running water mat, which was already their family's last savings, and now the crops in this field were planted, and they could not sell the grain until the autumn harvest to get the money. There are still many months to go, and it takes a lot of money to repair the house, and the thought of this makes it a little unhappy to spend it.
"Where to make money? What are you asking us to do, Dad? Do you do business? Hua Shanmin asked expectantly, "Then what business do we do, why don't we also open a restaurant, there is no Guanlanju in this county, didn't we eat Guanlanju's dishes that day, we can't do it finely, but we can still do it at home." ”
"Restaurant? So who is the chef in our family? Hua Panpan's gaze swept over the rest of the old Hua family, flashing a trace of contempt.
Wang Chunhua cooks on weekdays, and later after Hua Qingyan came, she handed over the task of cooking to Hua Qingyan, but Wang Chunhua was not happy for too long, who knew that Hua Qingyan would resist and break away from the old Hua family. After that, Hua Panpan sent to cook, but the taste was not flattering.
None of these people who have been aging for a long time can master the kitchen well, and they still want to open a restaurant, which is simply a fool's dream.
Hua Qi naturally thought of this, and frowned: "What kind of restaurant to open, do you know how to cook, have you ever been in the kitchen!" We are a family of cultivators, even if we are doing business, we can't leave this grain! ”
"Daddy means he wants to open a grain store?" Hua Jizu thought about it, this idea is not bad, after all, this people take food as their sky. And there is no goods to collect in the village, although Qingfeng County is rich, but the villages below are still relatively poor. Last year, the harvest in the fields was good, and although these farmers also sold some, they should still have stock. They can go to the village and collect some old grain, and then raise the price to sell it.
"That's a good idea. But the question now is, where do we get the money to collect food? ”
Yuan Ru looked at the people of the Lao Hua family, she felt that if she didn't say something, she was afraid that these people would discuss letting her go back to her parents' house to borrow money in the next second, after all, among the two daughters-in-law of the Lao Hua family, the conditions of her mother's family were better. "This yard still needs to be repaired, and it's another sum of silver, and this grain collection and shop all need silver, let's take it slowly step by step."
The topic of doing business was forced to be disputed, but everyone had some ideas in their hearts, and from time to time they were stimulated by the drilling. They had never thought about this business matter, and of course they didn't dare to bring it up if they did. Hua Qi has always advertised that they are a family of cultivators, and it is naturally impossible for them to do such a vulgar and copper-smelling thing as business. And this time, Hua Qi actually offered to open a shop to make money, which was a great pride for them. After all, if this shop is opened, it must need a shopkeeper, and this shopkeeper is naturally selected from their own family. Hua Jizu, Hua Zechuan and Hua Qingzhu are impossible, the first two have to do things in the county government, Hua Qingzhu naturally still has to study, and they still want to make a move at home.
Hua Shanmin and Hua Panpan's thoughts instantly came alive, and this shop would definitely fall into the hands of one of the two of them! If this shop is in hand, then won't the silver continue to come!
Hua Shanmin and Hua Panpan worked hard to please Hua Qi during this time, serving tea and water, beating their backs and massaging, wandering around under Hua Qi's noses every day, and striving to make Hua Qi deeply realize their goodness.
However, Hua Qi has been staring at the courtyard recently, and has never mentioned the matter of opening the shop again, as if he doesn't remember. Hua Shanmin and Hua Panpan gritted their teeth secretly, but they made up their minds that they must grab the shop!
Compared with the intrigue in Qingfeng County, the mountain village is jubilant, and the Hu family and the Zhou family are going to get married has spread in the village, and the wedding date is also approaching, and the two families are busy, cleaning the house and decorating the yard, and they are very busy.
The Zhou family is also considering whether to find a piece of land for Zhou Rong to build a new house in the village, after all, the Zhou family has a large population, and there is an unmarried sister-in-law and uncle in the family. Mrs. Shen was afraid that Hu Baizhi would not be used to it, but she thought about this little couple everywhere. However, Hu Baizhi is also generous, and took the initiative to refuse this proposal, she likes to be crowded.
Now the people of the Zhou family are more satisfied with Hu Baizhi, but Mrs. Shen smiles so much that she can't see her teeth every day.
What's even more talked about is the dowry of the Zhou family, not to mention those big items, there are several big boxes in this box that entered the Hu family alone, Hua Qingyan has counted it, there is a box of gold and silver jewelry, two boxes of cloth, and some other valuable things.
However, in addition to these, the Zhou family even added the deed of a shop in the town and the title deed of 30 acres of fertile land to the dowry!
This dowry is unique in the backing village, even ordinary people in the town can't take it out, which shows the importance that the Zhou family attaches to Hu Baizhi, and it can also get a glimpse of the Zhou family's wealth.
Rao is Hu family didn't expect the Zhou family to come up with so many dowries, but they were shocked when they received it, and Sun Yunyun also specially asked Mrs. Shen to meet and ask about the dowry. However, Mrs. Shen smiled and told the matter of their Shen family and Hua Qingyan's cooperation in the crystal, because she had originally mixed some silver into the Shen family's business, so she got a lot of money, so that Sun Wanyun didn't have to worry, their Zhou family would be poor because of such a dowry.
Sun Yunyan knew about Hua Qingyan's crystal business, and when Shen Ming sent the second batch, Hua Qingyan sent a set of small bottles to Hu Qing for him to use with medicinal powder. Sun Yunyun heard that this crystal sold well, and it was sold to Yongjing, and the Zhou family is afraid that they have made a lot of money from it this time!
Hua Qingyan, as Hu Baizhi's friend, also went back to the Hu family to help, and also helped to make the dishes for the wedding. Because it is a wedding feast, every dish of this dish is exquisite. Hua Qingyan discussed with the chef in the kitchen of Guanlanju for a long time, and then decided on 19 dishes including cold dishes and dim sum, symbolizing perfection and longevity.
Hu Baizhi was dumbfounded when she heard it, but what exactly was the dish that Hu Baizhi begged her grandfather to tell her grandmother, Hua Qingyan refused to tell her, and only said that she would know on the wedding day. But Hu Baizhi felt a pang when she thought that she would have to wait in the new house that day and couldn't see the table full of dishes at all.
"Why am I so miserable, I can't eat any of the good dishes on the table!" Hu Baizhi was so angry that she just wanted to lift the table, and the delicacies on the table were all carefully prepared for her by Hua Qingyan, but she couldn't eat any of them, "You said, this is all prepared for me by you, but when the time comes, it will all go into other people's stomachs, and I can't taste it, isn't it putting the cart before the horse!" ”
"What, is it possible, you still don't want to get married for this table full of dishes?" Hua Qingyan squinted at her.
“…… This, this ......" Hu Baizhi scratched her head and looked confused, "But I like the dishes you cook very much." ”
"I didn't cook the dishes that day." Hua Qingyan said with a smile, "The Zhou family has booked ten tables, both at noon and at night. I can't make these twenty tables. And do you want me to stand in front of the stove all day long, tired and tired? ”
Hu Baizhi raised her head and thought about the chef who was busy wiping her sweat on the flowing water table before, and quickly shook her head and said: "No, no, although Qingyan's cooking is delicious, but our Qingyan is so beautiful, so we can't become a yellow-faced woman in advance!" ”
Listening to Hu Baizhi's description, Hua Qingyan gave her a roll of her eyes indecently: "Who are you listening to, and the yellow-faced woman, do you know what you are talking about?" ”
"Listen to the mothers-in-law in the village who like to chew the root of their tongue, those people like to talk by the river and under the trees." Hu Baizhi pouted and was a little angry, "Several times I have heard them talk about you, saying that your husband often does not have a home outside, marries someone else, and raises you outside." What else do you say, although you have earned a lot of silver, but you can't even look down on your own man, I am afraid that all the money in the future will be taken up by Yun Shumo. ”
Hu Baizhi said as she said and seemed to realize that what she said was not a good thing, she cautiously looked at Hua Qingyan's face, and saw that she looked as usual, so she said: "Qingyan, those people are talking nonsense, don't worry." They just don't see the good of others, so don't listen to my nonsense. ”
Hu Baizhi is still in the dark about Yun Shumo's affairs, she has always thought that Yun Shumo is an ordinary son, because of the problem of identity, there should be a lot of business under her hands, so she comes and goes in a hurry, and she can't be by Hua Qingyan's side all the time. Although she believed in the relationship between Hua Qingyan and Yun Shumo, she was inevitably a little worried when she heard these discussions. She thought about whether to persuade Hua Qingyan and let Yun Shumo come back, Hua Qingyan's business here can completely support a person from a mountain village, and there is no need to run out so hard all year round.
Hua Qingyan didn't hear these remarks because she was busy, and those people didn't dare to say it in front of her, so this was the first time she had heard someone say this.
But she thought it was ridiculous, these people were enjoying everything she had brought, and yet they were using infinite malice to speculate on her, which was really unreasonable.
"It's fine." Hua Qingyan patted Hu Baizhi on the shoulder, "You don't have to worry about this, you just wait for Meimei to get married." ”
