It is the dream of all men to marry a confidant who understands himself and loves himself as a wife. Qian Jun was secretly glad that under such great pressure from his father, he stuck to his heart and insisted on his choice.

"Xianggong, why don't we set up a canning factory in the south? Not only pineapple, but also plums and canned longan. ”

Qian Jun thought for a while: "Okay, this investment is not big, if it is sold at a nearby port, and the funds will be returned quickly, then it will be a labor daughter-in-law." ”

"We're going to the south, and we're going to be able to make a batch of canned pineapples."

"No, no, it will take more than 20 days just to ride the carriage, and it will be too late." Qian Jun shook his head again and again.

"Didn't you say you could take a shortcut? As long as seven days. Wen Jin was puzzled.

Qian Jun's objection was even more severe: "The shortcut is either on foot or on horseback, over the mountains and mountains, how can you stand it?" ”

Wen Jin smiled: "You also underestimate me too much, when I am a mud and paper paste?" Don't worry, I can do it! ”

Qian Jun was still a little hesitant.

"Husband, you can't hollow out the pomegranate flowers, you can say what I want to help, the cost must be far greater than your expectations and affordability, I don't know, since I know that the public has difficulties, I will not stand idly by, besides, the factory over there will be set up earlier, and you will have more income sooner, and our family's life will be better, right? Not only for you, but also for me, for this family. ”

"In this way, you write out what to do, and I will arrange someone to do it, so you don't have to make this trip."

"No, no, you just let me go, I don't know what the south side is like, and I want to see the sea and the harbor." Wen Jin is coquettish, as a woman in this era, her range of activities is too small, now, she should find an excuse to be a travel friend for a few days and go to the beach for a walk.

Where has Qian Jun seen Wen Jin's coquettish and angry little woman's appearance, his heart is a soft mess, and he only has a little sense, which is due to his love for his children and his responsibility as a father: "What should we do about our family?" And children. ”

"Jin Jin and Qian Qian don't have to be fed, there are Chunming and Xia Yang to preside over the daily affairs, well, you can also transfer those two people over to assist them, if there is a fate, when we come back, they may have seen the right eye."

"Hehe" Qian Jun laughed, "You, don't forget to draw the red line for your two girls at this time." ”

"Don't interrupt, do you promise?" Wen Jin shook his hand.

Qian Jun's brain was a little out of power, and he couldn't think anymore, so he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'll deploy it immediately." ”

In the next few days, Wen Jin was also busy, arranged family affairs, and set off with Qian Jun.

Over the mountain, and then to the southeast, there is a large port formed by the city, the countryside outside the city is planted with pineapples, and there are many folk ceramic workshops nearby, Qian Jun sent people to rent the land first, buy pineapples and buy porcelain jars, he and Wen Jin then set off, the pineapple ripening season is about more than a month, as soon as possible, you can catch up with the second half.

The funds are borrowed from Xiao Guogong, and he needs to buy a large number of pineapples, porcelain jars, and hire workers, and these early investments are also a lot, as well as the expenses of these people, Wen Jin originally planned to go back to his parents' house to beg his father, but was stopped by Qian Jun, he couldn't let his wife come out, and he shrank behind, which was even more unmanly.

The mountains in the south are far less precipitous than in the north, Wen Jin walked all the way, saw the stream murmuring, crystal clear, often flying down from the strange peaks and strange stones, such as pearls and jade, crystal clear, if the sun is shining, you can also see a gorgeous little rainbow shrouded in it, this beautiful scenery alone has made people intoxicated, plus the green trees are towering, the mountains are full of flowers, occasionally you will meet cute squirrels, see pedestrians, at first very surprised eyes round eyes, look this way, follow Qian Jun's young man Xiao Li, suddenly jumped up and wanted to catch it, The squirrel flew up the treetops like a puff of smoke, leaping and jumping, quickly dodging it.

Qian Jun had never seen Wen Jin smile so unwillingly, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and his crisp voice fell like a silver bell.

If there is a harvest, there must be a pay, there will be happiness, it will be accompanied by pain, Wen Jin has lacked exercise over the years, the skin on her legs was worn out on the first day of riding, and she had to be wrapped in medicinal gauze, and the second day was even more uncomfortable, climbing the mountain made her legs sore, and on the morning of the third day, she almost couldn't get up.

Qian Jun was distressed, and just wanted to complain, but Wen Jin gritted his teeth and insisted: "It's okay, I've been inactive for a long time, just like that, when I get to the south, my leg will be trained, not only does it not hurt, but it is also as light as a swallow." As he spoke, he wanted to get on the horse.

Qian Jun couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear the words, he couldn't care about a group of subordinates following, everyone watched, he bent down and picked up Wen Jin, put him on the horse, turned over himself, and the two rode together. Wen Jin sat on his side, and he really felt better. At first, she was still a little shy, but she was too tired, the horse staggered, and it was very comfortable to nest in Qian Jun's arms, and she fell asleep unconsciously. Qian Jun let out a long sigh and ordered his entourage to slow down, about half an hour, Wen Jin woke up and felt that his body was much better than when he got up in the morning: "The mountain road is steep, you let me ride a horse by myself." ”

"No!" Qian Jun didn't mean that he could continue to ride together, but that the mountain road was so steep that he had to get off the horse and walk, so he first went down to the ground, and then helped his wife to dismount.

Wen Jin didn't expect her legs to be softer, her feet were next to the ground, like pins, her knees were weak, and she almost fell to her knees, but Qian Jun quickly held it with her hand.

"My legs are numb, and I'll be fine soon!" Wen Jin saw that she was dragging everyone down, she was a little impatient, gritted her teeth and endured it, reluctantly took a step, and the sweat all over her body immediately came out, she gritted her teeth and insisted, unwilling to let her husband see it.

Qian Jun was very sad when he saw her pale face, in front of his subordinates, it was impossible for him to say words of self-blame, his arm was stretched, and on the way up the mountain, it was really difficult to walk with Wen Jin in his arms.

"I can do it!" Wen Jin was still gritting his teeth, but he didn't want Qian Jun to squat down in front of him: "I'll carry you." ”

"No, no!"

"Hurry up, I was afraid of waking you up just now, the speed slowed down, if you rub it off any longer, you won't be able to catch up with the accommodation today."

Wen Jin didn't dare to be strong, in this mountain forest, maybe there are tigers, and camping is too dangerous. Qian Jun's people have come and gone here more than once, and they have prepared accommodations, most of which are tree houses, and two are caves, although the conditions are simple, it is better than camping.

Wen Jin obediently crouched on her husband's back. Qian Jun's martial arts are outstanding, and it doesn't seem slow and laborious to walk with her on her back, faster than Wen Jin's own walking speed, more than half an hour, the mountain road becomes gentle again, everyone gets on the horse one after another, Wen Jin insists on riding a horse by himself, and continues to move forward with everyone.

The most bitter three days passed, on the fourth and fifth days, the soreness on Wen Jin's legs gradually subsided, and there was no longer so embarrassing on the way, on the seventh day, they crossed the last mountain beam, they rode their horses on the official road in the countryside, and in one day, they came to a big town near the port city.

Pineapples are abundant here, and Wen Jin saw many people lining up at the door of a house on the edge of the town.

"Our people are being bought." Qian Jun glanced at it and said happily to Wen Jin.

This house is rented, the house is very old, but it is quite strong, there is a garden next to the yard, now it has been cleared out, the land is very clean, a row of sheds has been built by the south, a large iron pot is set on the stove, the iron pot is a wooden cage on top, more than a dozen women are busy washing the plain white porcelain jar, the iron pot has been put a lot, it seems to be ready to steam.

Qian Jun took Wen Jin around here: "There's nothing wrong with it, you can rest first." ”

Galloping quickly, Wen Jin only felt that her internal organs were about to fall out, she forced herself to walk this circle, although she was a lot more comfortable, but still a little disgusting, she was obediently supported by Qian Jun and walked into the upper room of the courtyard next door.

A local woman in her twenties greeted her, speaking in a very difficult dialect, Wen Jin made a gesture to take a bath, and the woman bowed and retreated, and soon came in with a woman in her thirties carrying a wooden bucket.

The weather here is hotter and more stuffy, the locals can skip meals, they can't skip showers, there is a hut next to the upper house, the ground is paved with stones, there is a waterway leading to the outside, it is actually a special bathroom.

Most of the people here are showers, and Wen Jin saw a brand-new bamboo bath tub, which seemed to be specially prepared for her.

"This person under Qian Jun is really careful and has such thoughtful arrangements." Wen Jin sighed secretly, watching the two women pour water into the bathtub and mix it with cold water, she took off her clothes and sat in.

The wound on the leg was not yet healed, and it hurt to drill the heart, but the rest of the body was no longer tense and suddenly loosened.

Wen Jin endured it for a while, and the pain in his body became numb, leaving only comfort and fatigue.

The woman stood aside and gestured to ask Wen Jin if she wanted to rub her back, and Wen Jin nodded.

Her hands are very strong, and they are relatively large, and the flesh is whirring, and it is very comfortable to rub up, Wen Jin only felt sleepy, and unconsciously closed her eyes and fell asleep, letting her finish rubbing her back, in a daze, she was helped out of the bathtub and moved to the collapsed bed, and the woman also applied herbs to the worn place on the side of her leg.

Wen Jin slept for an hour, and when she woke up, the spirit of her whole body was back, and the wound on her leg did not feel pain, she turned over and sat up, and the woman sitting on the edge of the bed immediately stood up and asked in a low voice, Wen Jin didn't understand, but felt that what she said should be: "Madam, are you awake?" Something like that.

Wen Jin's legs were wrapped in white gauze, and she put on her obscene clothes and covered her coat: "Let's go out for a walk." ”

The woman nodded, led the way, and came to the restaurant, the aroma of the food aroused Wen Jin's appetite, she heard her stomach growling, the sound was still very loud, and she couldn't help blushing a little, at this moment, there were footsteps outside, and then, Qian Jun came in with a group of people.

Although the language barrier, the woman who served Wen Jin was really impeccable, Wen Jin could see that she was dispatching and directing the courtyard here, and it was arranged very tightly.

The restaurant is very large, separated by a bamboo screen in the middle, Wen Jin and Qian Jun sit in the inner room, and the people he brought sit in the outer room.

"I'm asleep." Wen Jin said embarrassedly.

Qian Jun nodded pityingly: "I know, if you are still tired, you can nest for a while after eating." ”

"No, I'm in good spirits right now. I mean, I'm sleeping, you eat first, don't wait for me. ”

"It's okay, there is mung bean syrup boiling on the stove, everyone feels very thirst-quenching, they all drink too much, and they can't eat, I didn't make people hungry, I waited for you on a special trip, coincidence, hehe."

Wen Jin suspected that he forced everyone to drink mung bean porridge to resist hunger, and felt even more embarrassed.

Seeing that the lie was seen through, Qian Jun also defended himself with strong words: "The weather here is hot and dry, and it is good to drink more mung bean porridge, and I am also good for everyone." ”

"I know, next time, I can't sleep before meals anyway, and try to drink more mung bean syrup, otherwise it won't be good to get angry."

"Hehe, hehe, hahaha-" Qian Jun was embarrassed at first, and then wanted to play tricks, but under Wen Jin's eyes, he finally couldn't help laughing, "I know, in the future, let the small kitchen cook for you again, okay?" If you don't even agree to this, they'll have to drink sugar water to satisfy their hunger. ”

Wen Jin was also amused: "You don't seem to pay for candy." ”

"You don't know, the sugar here is cheaper than ours, and the sugar here is still the kind of high-quality sugar that is very sweet and sweet."

"Hehe, I know, the sugarcane that children eat in the capital grows here." Wen Jin was stunned.

"Well, rice is more expensive than sugar here." Qian Jun exaggerated, "If you go further south, there are sugarcane fields everywhere. ”

"So, where are the pineapples planted?"

Seeing Wen Jin's serious appearance, Qian Jun "hehe" Zhile, "You don't know, pineapples grow on trees on the hillside, how can they compete with sugarcane for land?" ”

Wen Jin was even more surprised: "On the tree? For such a large fruit, how thick a branch must be to prevent it from crushing. ”

Qian Jun realized that he was wrong, he called outside, and a very dark and thin middle-aged woman ran over. Qian Jun motioned for Wen Jin to ask her where the pineapple grew.

Of course, Wen Jin knew where the pineapple grew, but in front of Qian Jun, he couldn't say it, so he had to ask several times, and the other party understood, so he kept gesturing to Wen Jin.

Qian Jun had a lot of contact with these people, and soon understood: "You mean to say that pineapples grow on small seedlings?" On a seedling that is only two or three feet tall? ”

The man nodded, and he waved his hand to pull back, but his face turned red little by little.

Wen Jin stuck out her tongue embarrassedly: "Such a big pineapple fruit actually grows on a seedling?" I thought it was like a watermelon, growing on a vine. ”

Wen Jin hurriedly pretended to be stupid, Qian Jun's expression immediately became much more natural, he couldn't help but smile, and said to Wen Jin good-naturedly: "When we are busy for a while, let's go around here, right?" I think that the scenery of the south must be very different from the north, and on the first day of my arrival, I heard about such an unbelievable thing, and if I really went outside, I didn't know what would be even stranger. ”

"Well, yes, I didn't expect that there are fruits that don't grow on trees and vines, it's so strange."

The next day, Wen Jin arranged for someone to start processing pineapples, cleaning, peeling, coring, cutting, pickling in salt water to remove astringency, and then cleaning, canning, steam sterilization, and finally capping, sealing wax, these processes, Wen Jin will divide the front and back, all the hired workers, can only contact a certain process at the beginning, the last part, are Qian Jun's people to do it personally, she doesn't want to be imitated by others soon, lost the opportunity to make huge profits.

The stressful life made Wen Jin and Qian Jun have no time to pay attention to the discomfort caused by climate change, and after a busy month, all the finished cans were put on the boat, and they were used to the days when they had to take a shower every day.

When he got up on this day, Qian Jun instructed his men to prepare horses, Wen Jin heard it on the side, and raised his eyebrows happily: "Is this going out for a walk?" ”

"Well, let's play here in Nangang City, it's time to go back, Jin Jin and Qian Qian should miss us."

Why doesn't Wen Jin want her son? She was ashamed that she still wanted to play, and after a pause, she hurriedly replied: "Otherwise, I'll go back, there is nothing to do in Nangang City, when we are free these days, haven't we seen it around?" It's nothing more than some pineapples, lychees, and longans that we haven't seen before. ”

Qian Jun looked at his wife and smiled clearly: "Since you're here, let's take a turn, maybe you can find something else, your mind is always finer than mine." ”

Wen Jin was even more ashamed, and said in his heart, I just have the experience of my previous life, and I have more knowledge than you in some aspects.

The two cleaned up and set off with people, a few days ago they were still walking in the countryside, Wen Jin relived the scenery he saw when he traveled in Lingnan in his previous life, but Qian Jun really saw many things that he had never seen in his life.

"This is a lychee? When is it ripe? He had eaten black dried lychees, and he couldn't imagine what the lychee looked like as white as ice and snow and sweet as cheese.

"Why don't you send someone to bring the gold and money?" He turned around and asked Wen Jin, "It's more convenient here than Nanlin Mansion, didn't you say that there are any other fruits that can be canned?" ”

Wen Jin smiled: "Okay, you are the big boss of our family, what you say is what you say." ”

Seeing that his mind was seen through, Qian Jun was ashamed again: "In this way, you will be farther away from your father-in-law, and your mother-in-law will give birth in a few months, and Yuchen and his wife don't know if they can take care of her." ”

Wen Jin felt a warm current in her heart, women in this era have no status at all, women marry into the door, they are not allowed to care about their mother's affairs, if they secretly return to their parents' family, the man and his mother-in-law know, they will be reprimanded lightly, and heavy beatings are possible, and few men like Qian Jun actually think about their daughter-in-law.

Yes, they have feelings, but Wen Jin can't use the standards of later generations of men to demand the current men, after all, Qian Jun grew up in this era and the world, he really loves Wen Jin, and for her sake, he will plan for her like this. Although it was a trivial matter, Wen Jin still felt very warm and moved. Seeing that Wen Jin didn't speak, Qian Jun was a little nervous: "I'll accompany you!" ”
