After dinner, Ding Zhuang checked the perpetual calendar.

August 22, auspicious, should be opened.

Ding Zhuang clapped his hands and said, "Want Want Commercial Bank is scheduled to open on this day. ”

Ding said, "Then tentatively set that day." ”

Ding Zhuang puffed out his eyes and asked, "Why do you want to be temporary?" If it doesn't work, change the day. ”

Ding Zhi said, "In order to make a lot of money, that morning I had to look at Lingling's Yin Hall and Jinwowo and Yinwowo before opening. This is how the jade shop in Tuodong Mansion made a lot of money. ”

Ding Zhuang couldn't, so he had to let him.

Early in the morning of the 22nd, Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao put on new clothes and sat in the house waiting.

At the end of the day, the descendants of Ding's family came to report, "My lord said that today's lucky stars are high, and the opening is auspicious, and the gold and silver nests are full of nests." ”

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao scolded "two" before taking the carriage to Want Want Commercial Bank.

And when they came back in the evening, they took eighty-six taels of silver and gave them to the cloves.

Lilac put the jade bracelet that Old Demon Gu "rewarded" her in the shop and sold it for so much silver. She will not use the money and will do good deeds in the future.

There are two shops and one workshop under Want Want Commercial Bank.

The shops are Want Want Jade Shop and Want Want Wine Shop, and there is also a Want Want Brewery.

The liquor store will not open until the sake is brewed.

At the beginning of September, Ding Zhi bought a courtyard in Taishui Town, at the foot of the mountain outside the West Gate, as a winery. The reason why the sake brewery is opened here is because the spring water on the west mountain is clear and sweet, and the water used to make sake is taken into the mountain.

There are two kinds of wine, the high-end wine is called "Yuhualang", and the mid-range wine is called "Wangwangtou".

The name, of course, was chosen with the help of Lilac.

For Ding Zhi's ability to look at his appearance, Lilac still believes in it. Since he and the Tang clan can cover him and make a fortune, he should be able to make his dream come true.

The brewing workshop was also opened by Ding Zhi after seeing the Tang family's Yintang and Jinyin Nest.

Ding Zhuang has two hobbies in his life, one is striking iron, and the other is drinking.

His son's opening of a winery is as happy to him as he is to open an iron shop.

In his opinion, the second son is still improving, at least he knows that it is better to settle down and do practical things than to daydream every day before.

He had to take the car to the winery almost every day.

An autumn rain and a cold, in the blink of an eye, in the middle of September.

Cloves are even more eager.

Qiu Wangzhi said that Li Zhangyi's family could be brought back to Beijing in September at the earliest......

On the twelfth day, Yang Hu from Beiquan Village came with red apples. This year, not only the apple tree in the old house has a good harvest, but more than a dozen apple trees in the orchard have also borne fruit.

A total of more than 200 catties were sent.

He also brought with him the sustenance of many relatives and friends. There are Zhang's father-in-law's family, Ding Shuniang's family, Xia Er's family, Ding Erzhuo's family, Xia Lizheng's family, and Ding Li's family, and so on.

Ding Li and Ding Youcai didn't have that heart, it was prepared by He.

A few families also brought gifts to Ding Shan's family.

Yang Hu said that Ding Youcai and the Wang family still wanted to follow him to see Ding Erfu and Ding Sifu, but he said that he couldn't do it without him. No, he quietly left a day early.

There is also bad news that the oldest generation of the Ding family, the second ancestor of Ding, has died. Today, the oldest member of the Ding family is Ding Li.

Ding Zhuang asked Li Maigao to accompany Yang Hu to play in the capital for a few days before returning to Jiaodong.

Except for quietly giving Dong Yi's family twenty catties of red apples, no one sent them.

It's not that the Ding family is slamming the door, it's because the cloves won't let them go. Her rhetoric is that if it is not good to give it to Xun Qianli, it is not good to give it to others.

I didn't dare to send it to the Xun family, but I was afraid that the Gu family would make it bad, and I would frame the Ding family for the old lady's apples.

Ding Xiang looked forward to October, but did not look forward to the return of Li Shanyi's family to Beijing.

On the morning of the fourth day of October, light snow fell in the sky, the first snow of the winter.

Temperatures plummeted.

Lilac had already put on a small cotton skirt, sat on the Luohan bed and hooked woolen gloves with a crochet, and Ding Zhuang sat next to him, looking at his granddaughter and smiling.

The brewery was on the right track, and Ding Zhuang didn't go every day, and he had nothing to do at home with his granddaughter.

Lilac looked up at Ding Zhuang on the side, "Master, what are you laughing at?" ”

Ding Zhuang said with a smile, "It is said that the noble girl in the capital is far worse than the fragrance of the lord." I can read, I can draw, I can hook clothes...... When I grow up, I will be a female champion. ”

Lilac smiled and bent her eyes, "I'm starting to brag again, in my lord's eyes, I'm the best in everything." ”

Ding Zhuang asked again, "Is the sweater really warmer than the cotton sweater?" ”

"Of course, I'll know when I put it on."

The first batch of wool buyers had already returned to Beijing in August.

The wool cloves that were spun first asked for back, and asked a few girls to hook sweaters and pants for their families and a few people in the Dong family, and she hooked gloves for her grandfather with her own hands.

As for the invention of knitting sweaters, we have to wait a little longer.

The winter in the capital is colder than Jiaodong, and as soon as the weather is cold, Ding Zhuang's hand begins to hurt again. Fortunately, he was wearing a string of beads given by Master Mingyuan, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable.

The Ding family's Pleasant Goat wool spinning workshop has quietly started in June, with only ten workers.

When there is no wool, spin fine cotton thread, and spin wool yarn when there is wool......

The threads they spun were handed over to the "Jiulu Weaving Factory", and the weaving field was also in charge of the Gong shopkeeper, and the clothes outlined were sold by the Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion.

This kind of clothing is a high-end customization, and each cotton thread clothing is sold for more than 20 taels of silver. Sweaters are not on the market yet, and they will be more expensive.

There were also pills similar to mothballs in this era, which were able to prevent insect damage.

At this time, the mother-in-law in the outer courtyard came in with a stack of letters and a large bag of gifts, and reported with a smile, "Old lady, sister, Xun Juma has returned to the capital, and his housekeeper has sent the letters and gifts brought by the third young master." ”

Ding Zhuang scolded, "Stinky boy, if he doesn't come back when Xun Horse comes back, the hairy ghost is so good?" ”

Ding Lilai is still the same as last time, except for Ding Lichun, everyone wrote a letter. The letter to the others was about the same as the last time, six pages to Lilac, and in Spanish.

In addition to thinking about his sister, he also said that after Xun Juma and Gamawu compiled two copies of "Geometric Original", they were not interested again. Ding Lilai vowed to study hard and finish compiling all the "Geometric Originals" that Master had not completed......

Lilac was happy for him.

Love is the best teacher, and the young boy will definitely become a mathematician and translator in the future.

The letter also included a few sentences in Spanish and translated Chinese characters.

The Spanish language is made up of letters, and Lilac thinks it is Italian in the previous life. The meaning and pronunciation are different from English, and Lilac doesn't understand it very well.

Lilac learned English as a foreign language in her previous life, because she liked comics, and later learned Japanese.

Xun Qiandai also brought a gift to Lilac, which was a nine-silk light Luo from Wucheng.

The second senior brother is so attentive to a junior sister who has not met a few times, and it is not that he has no "long heart".

Ding Zhuang was also very happy when he heard about the ideals of his third grandson, and told the girl in a loud voice, "Go and talk to Lichun Niang, prepare more snacks in the evening, and call the two of them to dinner." ”

Ding Zhi and his wife were very happy to hear that their son had such lofty ambitions.

Tang's smug face flushed, "I'll just say that my son has a great future, Brother Zhi also said that he is stupid, not as good as Lichun and Liren." Look, look, my son wants to be a Confucian like Xun Concubine, how can Lichun and Liren compare. ”
