Chapter 471: Small Shops

Li Xin has been in a good mood lately. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair"

Not only because her mother is happy when she is old, Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng are no longer in the family with them in everyone's minds, and the people close to them are doing well.

Ah He said that the business of their Heji noodle restaurant is getting better and better, and there are more and more repeat customers, and she and Luo Qiang are too busy every day, and they have hired two helpers to help with things, and life is getting more and more prosperous.

Guan Quan also said that he now has a few fixed families who plan to cooperate for a long time, and he no longer does other odd and entrepreneurial tasks, and he is more free in time; And Hu Yueying's salary has also risen a little, the workload in the workshop is more, and more people have been recruited, so everyone's rejection of her is becoming less and less, and there are more people in the workshop who can talk to her.

Xing'er is stable, her belly has protruded, her appetite is quite big every day, she always has a smile on her face, and she no longer makes people afraid that she will have an accident.

When it rained, the weather cooled down.

Guan Wu's watermelons were picked and sold clean by him as early as the hot day, according to Guan Wu himself, being a melon farmer is not a good errand, and he has to bargain with people when he goes to the town, which makes him very uncomfortable. Fortunately, all the relevant help to find a big buyer, and the fragmented individual small families still have to deal with it.

Li Xin fell in love with gnawing corn on the cob, went to Guanwu early in the morning to break a few back, peeled off the outer skin to reveal the white neatly arranged corn kernels, mixed with water to see that it could drown the top corn, boiled for a quarter of an hour, and the smell of fragrant fragrance permeated the stove.

Yang'er also likes to nibble on corn cobs with Li Xin, and there are always a lot of flat corn cobs in his mouth.

If the boiled corn can't be eaten, Li Xin will scrape off the corn kernels. Save it for the next meal and cut the granular green pepper to eat, it is also a mouth-watering dish, especially with porridge, which is especially comfortable.

Ah Ho didn't stay long before going back. He also sent Li Xin a dozen taels of silver. Li Xin accepted it generously, but returned a tael of silver to Ahe's two girls, saying that it was to buy a new set of clothes and shoes for the two little girls.

Aha is busy now. There is less free time, and there is no time to make clothes and shoes for my daughter.

Ah He sighed, thanked Li Xin, and did not refuse, so he said goodbye to Guan Wen, Li Xin and others, and went back to Pingsha County.

Ah Xiu was also on the third day of opening the ancestral hall, and after Guan Wen came back and learned the results of going to the county government to approve the documents. Back to town. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ Shou @ Fa" Feng Defa is naturally reluctant to give up, this period of time he finally had the opportunity to contact Ah Xiu, although there are more than ten days, but he still feels that this time is not enough.

Guan Quan's husband and wife left with Ah Xiu, and they took care of each other.

Li Xin felt that Hu Yueying looked more generous. I don't know if it's her delusion, she always feels that Hu Yueying's back is up. I heard that Hu Yueying came back to visit Daddy Hu, and asked a neighbor near Hu's house to help her take care of her blind father, promising how much money she would give, and asking the neighbor to help clean Daddy Hu's room every two or three days and cook some good dishes.

Hu Yueying is a filial daughter, this Li Xin has known for a long time. Seeing that Guan Quan and Hu Yueying were doing well, Li Xin was still relieved.

The only thing that was unhappy was that Diao Lao Demon took his two dog legs. Dogs and dogs often wander around Guan's house.

Because Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng were kicked out of the genealogy of the village, they are no longer members of the Guan family, but the county government has not approved the treatment of Guan Zhicheng, so the old house of the Guan family still cannot be confiscated. Now the old house is deserted there, and no one has cleaned it up. The lock hanging on the door of the old house has been replaced by Guan Wen. A large strip of door locks hung from the entwined iron chains, and the key was now resting on the crosswood on the bed in their room, and Li Xin was resting in a small box of silver for daily use.

Li Xin remitted all the money from his family and scraped together enough fifty taels for Guan Wen to go to the town and exchange it for a silver ticket. In the hall was a small jar with copper coins and broken silver, which were used for household purposes. There were also some in the small boxes that were resting on the beams on the bed. In addition, the money was used to pay for the family and Jiang Han's wages, as well as to buy furniture and other items in the new house.

Although the house where Jiang Han presided over the construction has not yet been officially completed, Li Xin went in and felt it, and he liked it very much. The walls are thick, which means that the sound insulation will not be bad; The staircase is designed to be gentle, and according to Li Xin's requirements, the spiral staircase used from the first floor to the second floor, with a large pillar in the middle, has not yet been painted, revealing the dusty wall. There is a window in the middle of the staircase, which faces the bamboo forest to the east. The window is flat, so if the sun is good, you can sit here in the morning to bask in the sun and read a book.

This is the life that Li Xin wants to enjoy.

As for the second floor, in addition to the living room in the middle, three other rooms have been opened, which have not yet been furnished.

The third floor is under construction.

The Gu family is more curious about why the third floor is not capped, except for building a fence, you can see the sky when you look up, it looks bare.

Li Xin just smiled and didn't explain much.

In addition, what makes the Gu family feel new is only the spiral staircase, and Ah Mei's two good sisters of the Gu family especially like it, and they must go to walk it once they come.

Not long ago, Gu Shaoyao got married, and when she married into the town, Ah Mei was sad and happy. Later, only Gu Peony came here. The two little girls chatted together and talked about their hearts. They are all engaged and have not yet married into their husbands' families, and Gu Shaoyao's marriage has made more endless words between the two of them.

Gu Haitang also came once.

Because she used to be a second-class maid in the Shen Mansion, and the person she married was also a person in the Shen Mansion, she was arranged by her master for a lifelong event, and even her father and mother had nothing to say. Gu Haitang also has a kind of envy for luxury, looking at Li Xin's high house, he can't turn his eyes away, and Li Xin doesn't like to listen to what he says. But for the sake of Ah Mei's friend Gu Mudan, she doesn't know anything like this woman who is already a wife, and she is polite to deal with it.

Seeing that summer is going to autumn, the thick lotus root in the lotus pond is also ripe.

Guan Wen and Guan Wu recruited men to do temporary short-term work, and they worked for several days before they got the lotus root out, washed away the silt and loaded it up in baskets. The lotus seeds also received a basket, and Li Xin picked a large lotus leaf and made a flower chicken.

Guan Wen said to Li Xin: "I inherited the favor of Xue Ye and got the lotus root seeds, and I also promised to send a batch of lotus roots when they were ripe." Now that there are so many lotus roots, how much is appropriate? ”

Li Xinjing calculated, since the lotus root matured, Guan Wen had also sent it to Guan Wen's shop a few times.

Speaking of this small shop, Guan Wen is full of praise. Xue Qian's light restaurant did not have a great name, only a simple "small restaurant" name, but it attracted a lot of elegant people to patronize, and vassal and elegant people also came often, but it made some reputation in Hui County.

Li Xin cleared his throat and asked Guan Wendao: "Last time you sent lotus roots, you didn't ask Xue Ye about his needs?" ”

Guan Wen shook his head slightly, "He didn't show up, I handed it over to his small shopkeeper, gave him the lotus root, and he accepted it, and gave me another money." I didn't want it, and after some arguments, everyone retreated, and he only gave half of it, and I took it. As for asking if he still wanted lotus root, he just nodded and said, if there is still it, it will be good to send it next time. ”

"Then send a basket to the temptation." Li Xin said: "We can't be busy with everything and see what their attitude is." ”

Lotus root is a good thing, and the selling price is not cheap, if all of them are sent, whether Xue Qian's small shop can accommodate and consume so many goods is a big problem, and Li Xin doesn't want all the fruits of this little half a year's hard work to be enjoyed.

Guan Wen went to a small shop, came back and said that Xue Qian was there, and signed a contract with Xue Qian, he provided lotus root, Xue Qian paid the price, and the cooperation lasted for three years.

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Guan Wen said: "When I went, Xue Ye was taking his son-in-law to inspect the store. ”

Li Xin suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Xue Qingyan? ”

"Xin'er remembers?"

"I like that kid very much, he is young and old, he doesn't need to spend much effort on education, and it will save a lot of effort to be his father. I kind of like him. Li Xin smiled: "What's wrong?" Did you talk to him for a couple of words? ”

"Naturally, I have to say a few words." Guan Wen said: "In the end, it is Xue Ye's son, I always have to praise two words." It's not that I really admire it, at a young age, the child is very calm, Xue Ye asked him, and he also answered fluently. ”

Li Xin smiled and said: "The son-in-law of a big family is the eldest son and grandson, so he naturally receives more attention, and he must be well educated since he was a child. ”

Guan Wen nodded yes, but hesitated for a moment and said: "When I talked to him, he asked me a lot about rural life, and I don't know if Xue Ye was joking or serious, saying that since Xue Gongzi yearns for rural life, he will let him go to the countryside to experience it after a while." ”

Li Xin was slightly stunned, and Guan Wen said: "But he just said that kind of idle word, and he didn't mention it later." ”

Li Xin nodded: "They are big families and have their own methods for raising the next generation. ”

"But it seems that Xue Gongzi really wants to come to the township to play." Guan Wen smiled: "Not only do you remember him, but he also remembers you, and he also has a good memory, and asked me what you are doing now, if he can come to visit our house." ”

Li Xin laughed, thinking of the boy who said that she looked like his mother, the smile on her face gradually faded again, and she sighed silently in her heart.

The rest of the lotus roots and lotus seeds were sold to the town by Guan Wen, Li Xin left a few baskets down, and asked Guan Wen to pick the two largest baskets to go back to his parents' house, so that her mother could watch the points. Guan Wen sent a basket to He Fanchang and Sun Hongyan to express his gratitude to them. In addition, Li Xin didn't care about the scattered gifts, and let Guan Wen arrange it himself.

While making a sum of money, the remaining big fish weighing three or four catties in the lotus pond became a thorny problem. At the same time, Li Xin was infected with the wind cold, Q
