Zhao Fengnian glanced at the aggrieved Niuniu, who was also funny, so he stopped stopping it.

Rui Xue pulled Niu Niu and asked, "Who did you rob of the cake just now?" ”

Niu Niu stretched out her hand and pointed to an old man sitting under the willow tree a few steps away, and said, "That's the old man's!" As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her sister glaring at her, and quickly changed her words, "It's that old man's!" ”

Rui Xue then pulled her to the old man, bent down and saluted and said, "Uncle, I really can't help it just now, my sister has lived in the mountains since she was a child, she doesn't understand the rules and etiquette, and she robbed your old man of food, which frightened you, I brought her to accompany you for the old man." ”

The old man saw that although Ruixue was wearing a cotton dress, only wearing a skein silver bracelet on her wrist, and a plum hairpin on her head, she was very simple and plain, but her bearing did not look like an ordinary peasant woman, so he quickly got up and said, "This lady is polite, but she is a naughty child, how can I, an old man, blame?" ”

Rui Xue thanked her, "Uncle Xie is magnanimous." After she finished speaking, she pulled Niuniu behind her and said, "Don't apologize yet?" ”

Niuniu reluctantly bowed, Rui Xue was afraid that she would be temperamental again, so she took the steamed bun and said with a smile, "Uncle, my sister robbed you of your food, I'm afraid you will have an empty stomach at noon, this is a steamed steamed bun at home, if the old man doesn't dislike it, just accept the pad on your stomach." ”

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, "It's just two bread cakes, how can you ask for the lady's fine noodles and steamed buns?" ”

Rui Xue took the steamed bun and put it in the old man's hand, "Uncle, this is to make amends for my sister, you can accept it." ”

There was a person from the village next to him who saw this, so he came over and smiled and said, "Brother, you can accept it, our boss lady has the best heart, if the old brother doesn't accept it, the boss lady is afraid that she will feel uncomfortable." ”

When the old man heard this, he saw that Rui Xue was sincere, so he took it, and thanked him again and again, and Rui Xue thanked the people again, and then took Niuniu back.

The old man carefully wrapped two thin noodle steamed buns and put them in his arms, ready to bring them back to his little grandson to eat, and then went to ask the person who spoke, "Brother, this woman belongs to the Zhao family?" ”

The man smiled, "Brother, this is Mrs. Zhao, the mother of this Zhao family's compound, she is the most kind and reasonable, who in our village doesn't say that she is good?" Since she got married, the Zhao family has become more developed, and everyone's life has been much better. ”

The old man suddenly remembered Zhao Dashan, who was praised by the people in the village a few days ago, and said, "Big brother, this Zhao family gave up their cotton clothes a few days ago, right?" ”

The man smiled even more proudly, "Did my brother also get cotton and cloth?" This is the Zhao family! ”

"Ah, this is a good person, I didn't get it, but my brother who lives alone has a set, and he has been saying thank you for the kindness of the Zhao family."

The two of them talked lively, over there, Zhao Fengnian explained Zhang Dahe two sentences, and was picking up Rui Xue, wanting to help her enter the door, but Rui Xue pulled him aside and said, "Shopkeeper, these villagers come from afar, some have no relatives in the village, it is difficult to eat and drink, it is better to have a big kitchen, burn more coarse tea to quench their thirst, as for the meal, give up some steamed buns with two noodles, and then boil some tofu and cabbage, what do you say?" ”

Halfway through her words, Zhao Fengnian just smiled, "I saw you take Niuniu to apologize just now, I thought that you would be soft-hearted and give up some food, but I didn't expect that you would not be allowed to enter the yard, so you brought it up." ”

Rui Xue turned sideways to avoid the human eye, and pinched his arm in disgust, "You person, how can you learn to laugh at me for being soft-hearted?" If it weren't for the sake of adding color to your face, I wouldn't have said much. ”

"Okay, okay, I know you are the most virtuous, but you are also willing to give up soup and steamed buns." Zhao Fengnian smiled contentedly and comfortably, for the sake of him at such a moment, his wife who was not greedy for merit or face at all, what was he not satisfied with?

"It's also Zhang Luo once around, it's better to steam some steamed buns for the descendants of these people and helpers in the workshop, it's convenient to eat, and you don't have to Yingzi and their Zhang Luo who is both a vegetable and a meal."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Rui Xue smiled narrowly, "Then I'll go in, and the shopkeeper Zhao will stay and continue to be a good person of Zhao." ”

Zhao Fengnian helped her up the steps, and saw her leading Niuniu into the second door, so he turned around and said, "Steward Zhang, everyone has come all the way to deliver beans, you can't wait hungry at noon, tell the big kitchen, boil coarse tea to quench everyone's thirst, steam some steamed buns at noon, boil tofu and cabbage soup, and invite everyone to eat." ”

The villagers waiting outside the door, not a hundred but also dozens, hearing this, are a little unbelievable, they every time they go into the city to sell some grain, or local products, either by people shouting or disgusted picking, I didn't expect to sell a bean today, but the buyer also sent food?

For a while, everyone couldn't believe it, looked at each other, forgot to thank them, and those who were accompanied by the villagers reminded them, "The shopkeeper never breaks his promise, and everyone has good food at noon." ”

Everyone hurriedly thanked them in disbelief, Yun Xiaoliu took a bag of copper coins and strung them out, poured them into the box next to Wu Yu, and said with a smile, "We eat this every day at noon, and when we are busy with work, we will improve the food." ”

Zhang Dahe came out of the yard, and just heard what he said, so he slapped him on the back and scolded him with a smile, "Just you lazy boy, you are a greedy eater, the proprietress just told Sister-in-law Liu that steamed buns in the afternoon is not a treat for everyone." ”

Yun Xiaoliu immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Boss, this is to hear the worm in my stomach screaming." ”

Everyone laughed, and their subordinates stepped up.

Sure enough, without waiting for half an hour, Yingzi came out to beckon people to carry food with their hands, and Zhao Fengnian ordered to rest for half an hour, and then went back to the backyard.

Zhang Dahe led people to carry two buckets of tofu stewed cabbage, and two large dustpan steamed buns came out, one bowl of vegetables per person, and two steamed buns were divided.

The steamed bun was originally prepared for the people in the workshop to eat, but it was too late to make noodles for a while, so their lunch was replaced by two rice, and they were even more happy.

When Zhao Fengnian came out after eating with Rui Xue, everyone had already been busy for a long time, and after the ox carts carried the silver money and the well-fed owners returned to the villages, the good name of the Zhao family became even louder.

There was the old man who got cotton and cloth, and when he heard this, he took the gift and entrusted the bean seller to send it to Zhao's house, although it was just a rabbit skin, or a bunch of mushrooms, or even a few handfuls of dried mountain fruits, Zhao Fengnian also thanked him and took it, and let people send it to the backyard.

Rui Xue took Niu Niu, what should be collected, what should be put away, but when she remembered that when she was closed that day, she also received such sundries, and she couldn't help but sigh that hard day, as if it was just yesterday.

Niuniu didn't know what her sister thought in her heart, grabbed two rabbit skins in her hand, and shouted for her sister to make her two knee pads or hats.

Rui Xue was afraid that someone would come in suddenly, and when she saw her two naked @ naked arms, she hurriedly half-coaxed and half-lied, and pushed her into the house to change...

The work of harvesting beans took four or five days to slowly rest, only to be left every afternoon, there were a few villagers from a long distance to come to the door, which was much quieter than the grand occasion of the long queue in the previous days.

Ma Shiyi and Lei Zi's letters were also sent back at this time, and they also began to collect beans in various cities, Bai Zhanpeng specially greeted the shopkeepers of Wu Ji's old shops everywhere, and the Zhao family did not have to send the money, they were all withdrawn in the shop, saving time and effort on the road, and taking risks.

This night, the Zhao family and his wife sat at the table, writing the recipe for making tofu, Rui Xue smiled, "If the buyer takes this recipe, he must sigh that a hundred taels of flowers are not worth it, but it is just a soy milk with some talcum powder, but there is nothing complicated." ”

Zhao Fengnian shook his head, "Everything is important, if you don't point it out, I'm afraid you will never wake up." Others don't say it, it's me, if I don't see the talcum powder in the pot with my own eyes, then the soy milk can be turned into tofu, and I am afraid that I will never be able to figure it out. ”

Rui Xue smiled and squinted, picked up the paper under her hand, dried the ink and put it aside, picked up the pen and wrote, and said, "Eighteen cities in the north and south, except for Ling Feng, only seventeen copies are good, but I don't know if this transaction can be successfully earned thousands of taels back, otherwise, our husband and wife are such losers, and they are willing to give up cotton clothes and food, and I am afraid that the expenditure is more than the input." ”

Zhao Fengnian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Businessmen, the most taboo is to be careful, often small to get big." But a few baskets of steamed buns, a few buckets of cabbage and tofu, but completely won the hearts of the people, if next year, when the families compete to harvest the beans, there is our Zhao family to collect, there is no one else to interfere. ”

Rui Xue did agree with this, she opened the soybean products factory in her previous life, and treated the employees very generously, and later when the factory's capital turnover was not effective, the workers took the initiative to ask for late wages, which made her very warm, but she didn't expect to give her the biggest blow in the end, and even died because of it was her own brothers and sisters, sometimes I have to say that the world is unpredictable, and there will always be good results.

Thinking like this, she sighed softly, Zhao Fengnian thought that she was still worried about the family's income, so she said, "In a few months, I will go back to Zhao's house..."

Rui Xue subconsciously didn't like him to have a deep entanglement with the Zhao family, if it weren't for the assassin's feud to deal with, she wouldn't even want him to go back, let alone spend the Zhao family's money?

"No need, the Zhao family's silver money belongs to the Zhao family, you can dispose of it at will, our family will not be short of money, I will leave a top secret recipe, if it is not for the fear that our family will not have power and cause trouble, as soon as this recipe is taken out, I am afraid that it will not take a year or two, and the family will have hundreds of thousands of inputs!"

Zhao Fengnian originally wanted to persuade his wife that most of the Zhao family's property was earned back by him, and even if he got it back, he should take it back, but when he heard his wife talk about the top-secret recipe like this, he was also curious, so he asked, "What kind of recipe, can Niu Dou be used for other food?" ”
