Chapter 169: The Difficulty of Surpassing the Richest Man
Li Yunjuan's hatred, except for herself, only God knows, this will be sneezed by the chattering Zhao Hong, and continue to explain the precautions for the warm house to the villagers.
The Zhao family is not short of the income from growing vegetables, so Zhao Hong didn't think about monopolizing this business, just to eat some vegetables in winter to make it more nutritionally balanced.
The space is not in season, but it is inconvenient for Zhao Hong to take it out, a pair of small milk swallows need to be fed, and Zhao Hong can't eat alone.
In fact, the patriarch's family, the village chief's family, and the Zhou family all had people to inquire about planting a warm house, but it was just that the villagers believed in Zhao Hong's ability more, and this was the wave of people who came, so that Zhao Hong once again experienced the rush with smoke in his throat.
"No, I'm going to rest my throat for two days, and then someone will ask, Lingxiu, you come forward for your mother, remember to take one to the patriarch." Zhao Hong hoarsely pushed the job to his daughter.
"I don't understand, whoever asks again will go to someone else's house to ask, my mother said that it is interesting enough for a day, can't you come with our family?" Zhao Lingxiu, who pinched Zhao Hong's shoulder, pouted.
On this day, half of the people from the village came to the house, and after asking again and again, the heat in the greenhouse was gone, and a lot of vegetables were picked away.
"You girl, you're stubborn again." Zhao Hong thought for a while, and then said: "If you don't want to worry about this, then push it, the people in the village are almost here." ”
Zhao Hong, who enjoys the filial piety of his daughter, is not very concerned.
The intention of working for the welfare of the village has arrived, and Zhao Hong doesn't want to exhaust himself to death.
"Mother, the puppies of the second Ya family can be weaned, I told her okay, we want this litter, and I will go and pick it up tomorrow?" Zhao Lingxiu asked.
"Cheng, you take Zhao Ji and Zhao Xiang over. As the old saying goes, whoever takes the dog home looks like whom, and the mother will see if this statement is accurate. Zhao Hong said with the mentality of watching the excitement.
Zhao Lingxiu was just about to speak, when he heard a mother-in-law knocking on the door, Wu Ping actually came again in the dark on a cold day, and he didn't know what was urgent.
"Host, Miss." After Wu Ping entered the house, he greeted him in a regular manner, hurriedly handed over the money for selling vegetables today, and said with a happy face: "The village chief's share, I sent it when I passed by." The one with the most belongs to the Zhou family, and the other belongs to the owner. I originally wanted to go to the market to sell vegetables, but it happened that Zhu Yuanwai went to buy them at home, so I packed all the vegetables, and asked me to send another batch of vegetables before dawn tomorrow, saying that they wanted as many as they wanted. ”
Zhao Hong was not surprised that the vegetables were harvested, and Wu Ping was also lucky.
When he asked Wu Ping to pull the vegetables away, Zhao Hong didn't tell him where the vegetables were going to be sold, but just gave him an approximate price, which was also to test Wu Ping's ability.
Now that Wu Ping has sold out of vegetables without much effort, this luck is also part of his strength, and Zhao Hong can't deny his 'ability'.
"What kind of business is this Zhu Yuanwai engaged in? The price is the same as buying it for nothing? Zhao Hong took out a sweet potato from the brazier and asked Wu Ping to take it and eat it hot.
After the winter, Zhao Hong was very willing to get himself a brazier, and he pondered and roasted things to eat, and even ate less for the main meal.
"This Zhu Yuan's maternal ancestor was born as a landlord, and later found a wine recipe out of nowhere, and he has relied on wine trading for several generations, which can be said to be the third largest household in our town. Zhu Yuanwai spent money to buy a foreigner, in order to allow his children and grandchildren to participate in the scientific examination, this time it was the young master of the Zhu family who took the Tongsheng examination and wanted to hold a banquet. ”
Wu Ping poured the sweet potato with both hands, afraid that Zhao Hong would still have something to ask, so he didn't rush to eat.
Zhao Lingxiu answered: "It turned out to be this Zhu Yuanwai, then I know that I have done a lot of things to repair bridges and pave roads on weekdays." However, the Zhu family has been passed down for several generations, and most of the wives and concubines are daughters, so the children of the Zhu family are very squeamish on weekdays. When I was in the embroidery workshop before, I heard people say that if there were many children in the Zhu family, maybe they would not only be doing business in our town. ”
Zhao Hong was noncommittal about this, and there are many problems when there are more heirs, and it also involves the competition for family property, especially when there are concubines, there are many problems.
"And who's the richest and second richest man in town?" Zhao Hong asked.
"The richest man is the mayor's family, their family has a lot of land, and there are the most shops in the town, just eating rent is enough to feed a large family, and I heard that there are also businesses outside. The second richest man is the Zheng family, but the ancestral house of the Zheng family is here, and the family has moved to the south to do business, but recently I heard that the third master of the Zheng family has returned, and I don't know whether to live permanently or worship the ancestors. Wu Ping replied.
Zhao Hong didn't know if this ranking was right, but he didn't expect the mayor's family to be the richest man, and he didn't know how many generations of wealth he had accumulated, and he didn't know when he would be able to cross it.
It's the Zheng family, a third old man who came back from other places, I don't know how to behave, whether it will set off a storm in Leshui Town, Zhao Hong doesn't want to have a stable life disturbed.
"What about the Shen family?" Zhao Hong was a little curious.
"I should be in the top five." Wu Ping scratched the back of his head and said: "These rankings are all passed down from outside, in fact, how capable is anyone, and we ordinary people can't figure it out." But the Shen family has been in Leshui Town for several generations, and their family background and connections are very powerful, if it weren't for the fact that they often treat poor people in vain, and it is estimated that the family background is thicker, the Shen family is also the most recognized family of benevolence by the people. ”
Zhao Hong nodded, but didn't ask about the rankings of the others.
asked Zhao Lingxiu to bring Wu Ping a bowl of tea, and after he ate the sweet potato, Zhao Hong said: "You can live here today, Ming'er has to get up early to pull the goods, and the black rumbling is also dangerous." ”
Wu Ping's family knew that he was doing things for Zhao Hong, and he didn't worry about not going back to his house occasionally, knowing that the owner had something to do for him, so it wasn't the first time he stayed here.
It was too cold, so Zhao Hong sent Zhao Lingxiu to deliver silver next door, and by the way, he would get up tomorrow morning to pick vegetables.
There is no shortage of people at home, and Zhao Hong is not needed to pick vegetables in the morning, but Zhao Lingxiu has to worry about it, and Zhao Hong will not stop him.
didn't mention the Zhu family's banquet, but said that after Master Zheng San was invited to the banquet, he went home and said to Li Yunjuan: "I haven't been back to Leshui Town for a long time, but I didn't expect that this small place would be able to eat vegetables in winter." I asked someone to ask, and Ming'er will buy some back and try it with you, and it will save you from having no appetite. ”
Master Zheng San loves Li Yunjuan very much, otherwise he would not have brought her back from afar.
"The master treats the slave family so well, the slave family is blessed." Li Yunjuan opened his mouth softly, served tea and water to Master Zheng San, and served him very thoughtfully, and only after Master Zheng San drank the wine soup, did he ask: "Can the master inquire about the soap?" ”
"I inquired, and it was said that a peasant woman had made it up. That's fine, let's buy the recipe with some silver, and save the effort. Master Zheng San said as a matter of course.
Li Yunjuan, who lowered her head, didn't think so, with her understanding of Zhao Hong, it was very difficult to buy a child, after all, the sales of soap were so good, and it was unique.
"Since it was made by a peasant woman, why don't you go to explore the way for the master first? It's just a country woman, and it doesn't save the master's effort, right? Li Yunjuan asked softly.
