Chapter 18: The Heart

Wangjiazhuang, Wanfu Oil Mill.

On the streets and alleys, the carriage of Dapandun stopped at the door of Wanfu Oil Mill, Miao Shao, Xu Ming and the four dun soldiers were standing or sitting together, and they were interjecting and fighting, and it was so lively.

The three ploughing oxen were tethered to the back of the ox cart, and were looking down on the ground for something to eat, but found that there was nothing on the ground that could be eaten except dust, so the three ploughing oxen kept making bursts of cow cries, as if to vent their dissatisfaction.

At this time, Liu Yan walked into the Wanfu Oil Mill alone, and saw that many people in the oil mill were buying oil, and he was just about to call the guy to ask, but he happened to meet the shopkeeper Wang Jing.

"Oops, isn't this the benefactor Liu Zongqi!"

As soon as Wang Jing saw Liu Yan, he laughed and greeted him, and pulled Liu Yan to go inside with joy, and said with a smile: "Benefactor, please come inside, I must treat my benefactor well today!" ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wang is too polite, you don't need to be called by benefactors or benefactors in the future, just call me Liu Zongqi." ”

"That's not good, if it weren't for the benefactor's righteous action that day, now my small oil mill would have been occupied by the Xu family, and my little girl and I don't know what to do, where is there such a good business today!"

Liu Yan immediately asked, "Recently, the old lady Xu can make trouble again?" ”

"That's not true, the Xu family has stopped recently. It is estimated that the old lady Xu knows the prestige of the benefactor and doesn't want to come over to make trouble anymore, which is also the affection of the benefactor. It's just that in this market, even if it is normal for people of the Xu family to buy and sell, and bully and dominate the market, everyone is used to it. ”

Liu Yan nodded, remembering in his heart, secretly saying that Old Lady Xu was not a reckless person.

Then Wang Jing warmly greeted Liu Yan to the tea room behind the storefront, and then said loudly: "Yun'er, Yun'er!" The benefactor is here, why don't you hurry up and serve tea! ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Yunhe pushed the door in surprise and came in, and when he saw Liu Yan, who was pushing each other to sit down with Wang Jing, his face instantly mixed with a hint of redness, and said with a smile: "Okay! I'll go now, and I'll ask my benefactor to wait a moment. ”

Liu Yan said goodbye, then sat down and greeted Wang Jing.

Soon, Wang Yunhe came in with two cups of hot tea, and when he handed Liu Yan the teacup, Wang Yunhe noticed that Liu Yan's cheeks and hands were very rough, and some places had been cracked by the cold wind, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and there was a trace of distress in his eyes.

Wang Yunhe didn't say anything, went out with the tea tray for a while, and then walked in with a small box of ointment, handed it to Liu Yan with a coquettish face, and said: "This is a little girl's heart, this ointment is made by the trumpet herself, and it will not be sold to the outside world on weekdays, but it is just kept at home for use." This ointment can be windproof and skin care, it is very easy to use, please accept it for your own use. ”

Liu Yan was slightly stunned, only then did he notice Wang Yunhe's slightly shy expression, and he knew it in his heart, so he smiled at his subordinates and said, "Miss Wang has a heart, Liu Yan has thanked her here!" ”

Wang Jing on the side looked at the expressions of the two people thoughtfully, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said secretly: "This girl is really discerning, Liu Zongqi looks dignified, and is a reliable backer, if this matter is really done, I can rest assured!" ”

Seeing that Liu Yan accepted the ointment, Wang Yunhe's face turned even more flushed, lowered his head and smiled, turned around and ran out, leaving Liu Yan a little embarrassed, sitting on the chair and smiling.

Wang Jing said with a smile: "The benefactor drinks tea, drinks tea." ”

Liu Yan took a sip of tea, and then prepared to get to the point. This time, Liu Yan is ready to give Wang Jing an additional order, and this month's soap production will be greatly increased, but Wang Wei Town has already sent someone to urge him twice. In terms of making money, Wang Weizhen has always been very concerned.

Of course, Liu Yan also wants to increase production as much as possible, so that he can accumulate funds in the shortest possible time and continuously expand his industry and strength. In the foreseeable future, the output of his soap workshop will definitely continue to increase, and the purchase of soybean oil will also continue to increase.

Faced with Liu Yan's demand, Wang Jing naturally smiled and agreed, and reassured Liu Yan that his Wanfu Oil Mill would definitely not delay things.

Then Wang Jing said: "Hehe, the benefactor is also working hard in Dapandun on weekdays, presumably the lady is also quite virtuous, so the benefactor can be so comfortable, right?" ”

Liu Yan laughed and said loudly: "The shopkeeper Wang said that he laughed, I, Liu Yan, am alone, and I have not yet married a wife." ”

"Oh, that's right."

At this moment, Liu Yan suddenly heard some movement outside the tea room, and thought it was a mouse or something. Liu Yan didn't know, at this time, Wang Yunhe was listening outside the door, and when he heard that Liu Yan had not yet married, he immediately smiled, and then slipped away happily with careful thoughts.

At the same time, Wang Jing's face was also happy, it seemed that the matter between his daughter and Liu Yan was really good, and then asked: "The benefactor's Lingzun Lingtang is still in good health?" Thanks to my benefactor's help, I thought I'd like to find a chance to pay a visit. ”

Liu Yan shook his head and said, "My parents are no longer there, and now I am alone." ”

Joke, since Liu Yan came to this era, only God knows where Liu Yan's parents were, and Liu Yan naturally said so.

"That's right, sin and sin, it's me who lost my word."

Then Liu Yan saw that Wang Jing was going to continue to investigate, so he stopped him directly and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, I came to visit today to add orders for soybean oil. Nowadays, there is a great demand for soybean oil in my Dapandun, and the supply of thirty or forty catties a month is no longer enough. ”

Wang Jing suddenly came to his senses, this is a big business, so he hurriedly asked with a smile: "Okay, no problem." Although my small oil mill is not as big as the Xu family, the output is also very considerable, and the key is good quality. I just don't know how much more the benefactor needs? ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "Just add another sixty catties, and send me a hundred catties of soybean oil directly at the beginning of each month in the future." ”

Wang Jing was overjoyed and said: "Okay, thank you benefactor for taking care of the trumpet business, I will definitely leave the best soybean oil to my benefactor, and I will ensure the quality and quantity." This 100 catties per month must be no problem, and the benefactor can rest assured. ”

Liu Yan smiled and said: "We are also old acquaintances, and the shopkeeper's benefactor and benefactor are called, then they will be estranged." By the way, since this month, at the end of each month, I will send someone to place an order, which should basically be more than 100 catties, so I will say hello to the shopkeeper in advance. ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say."

After Liu Yan and Wang Jing agreed, they left six taels of silver, which was the money for this month's additional order, and then arched his hand and said: "Okay, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

Then Liu Yan put the box of ointment in his arms, and said with a smile: "In addition, there is the shopkeeper of King Lao, thank Miss Wang again on my behalf, I understand Miss Wang's intentions, and I understand it!" ”

The corners of Wang Jing's mouth suddenly cracked, and he said with a smile: "Hehe, it's the little girl who is abrupt, Engong, oh, don't blame Liu Zongqi." ”

"Oh, yes. If this ointment is good, Liu Zongqi will send someone to say hello, and I will ask the little girl to prepare more. Now that the air is dry and dry, Liu Zongqi is a person who can't be idle, so he must pay attention to it. ”

Liu Yan smiled and thanked him, and then went out of the Wanfu Oil Mill, Wang Jing also sent it out, Wang Jing also shouted to a few guys, and loaded the sixty catties of soybean oil ordered by Liu Yan on the ox cart, and the four dun soldiers also stepped forward to help, and fixed the oil jar with hemp rope.

At this time, Wang Jing saw the farm tools and other things on the ox cart, as well as the three ploughing oxen tied to the back of the ox cart, and his face also showed a surprised expression, and said: "Liu Zongqi, this is ......."

Liu Yan said with a smile: "I have asked the master of the management team for orders, and I am ready to recruit people in Dapandun to carry out the tuntian, which I received from Shangguan today." ”

Now Wang Jing was even more surprised, no one has always wanted to mess with the matter of Tuntian, this is all a thankless thing, I didn't expect Liu Yan to take the initiative to ask for Tuntian.

When Liu Yan saw Wang Jing's expression, he naturally understood what Wang Jing was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Hehe, the shopkeeper Wang doesn't know, if this Tuntian thing is done well, it will be a good thing for the country and the people, and for self-interest!" ”

"Hehe, yes, yes, Liu Zongqi has a lot of knowledge, this Tuntian thing is naturally good, with Liu Zongqi's ability, he can definitely do it."

Liu Yan laughed, and then arched his hand and said, "Okay, the shopkeeper Wang will leave." ”

"Hehe, Liu Zongqi walks slowly."

Liu Yan and others drove the ox cart and three ploughing cattle back to Dapandun.

After leaving Wangjiazhuang, it was already approaching dusk, and one dun army drove the ox cart, and the other three dun soldiers drove three ploughing oxen behind. Liu Yan, Miao Shao, and Xu Ming sat on the ox cart leisurely, looking at the sunset in front of them, with a smile on their faces: There is an unexpected harvest today!

The amount of materials obtained this time was far from Liu Yan's psychological expectations, but Liu Yan sat on the ox cart, looking at the three ploughing cattle following behind, as well as some farm tools and soybean oil on the ox cart, and he also felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, which can be regarded as accumulating some strength.

"That's all for my harvest, I don't know how many supplies Chen Xun can buy back, let's wait and see."

Liu Yan thought in his heart, and then said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone work hard, after we go back, let's add vegetables tonight, everyone has a good meal!" ”

"Good! The first captain is mighty. ”

"Let's go, everyone, we will have meat to eat when we go back."

The crowd immediately cheered, and there was a commotion. Although the ox cart was slow, it did not stop all the way, and soon came to the gate of Dapandun.

Liu Yan jumped out of the ox cart and saw that those military households were busy with their own work, either continuing to build a nest, or cleaning up all kinds of debris, or helping the Dunjun to lookout. There are also children chasing and running happily in the crowd, although everyone is still very poor, but they are thriving, Liu Yan also felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time.

"Maybe this is the reason for the struggle, here is a ray of light in the dark world!"

Thinking of this, Liu Yan smiled and beckoned everyone to come over to unload the car, and Wang Yue was the first to run over, busy and attentive, directing everyone to unload and carry the car.

Liu Yan entered the pier and looked around, but there was no trace of Chen Xun, so he called Wang Yue and asked, "Chen Xiaoqi, haven't they come back yet?" ”

Wang Yue said with a smile: "How can it be so fast, Captain A forgot, Lingshanwei is far away, and it will take a day just to go there." ”

Liu Yan nodded, and then saw the three ploughing cattle that were brought in, so he said to Wang Yue: "The bullpen in the pier is too small, you will take someone to dismantle the bullpen in the pier tomorrow and find a place outside to rebuild a new cowpen." ”

Wang Yue patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Chief A, I will bring someone to do it early tomorrow morning, and I will bring in three ploughing cattle tonight." ”

"Okay, remember to add some forage to the cattle at night."

At this moment, Liu Yan saw several knights rushing towards this side, and when he got closer, it turned out to be Jia Hongyu.

"Looks like something happened!"
