Crossing the road to riches

Chapter 73
What is a big tree to enjoy the shade, Wen's Juewei is called a big tree to enjoy the shade.

It was a letter sent by Xiao Feng, she had a heart, she never thought that Sister Xiao's handwriting was so good, majestic, with everyone's demeanor.

Fufu brought over the brewed tea, tried it with his lips, and handed it to the wife-owner after confirming that it was not too hot.

"What did Sister Xiao say? The wife-lord didn't frown, and the corner of her mouth was smiling, which is good news."

Wen was better, but he didn't express his belief.

Instead, it was directly given to Fufu.

"If there are unrecognizable words circled, I will teach you personally for my wife later."

Fufu pouted, but picked up the letter obediently. Now he is no better than before. Although he may not be able to write, most of the words are recognized.

"It's been a long time since I saw you. I don't know if it's good for sister Wen and brother-in-law to come in, but I think it's not only good, but also very nourishing. I would like to thank sister Wen for her generosity. This milk tea is very good and is very popular in the imperial city. Then Books are also extremely popular...Now I am also valued by my mother, if Miss Wen plans to enter the imperial city in the future and encounters any difficulties, Xiao is willing to help."

After reading Xin Fufu, he proudly waved the paper in front of Wen Hao.

"I recognize them all now, and it's no longer difficult for me."

Then sighed again.

"Sister Xiao is really a good person, willing to help us so much."

Wen Hao patted Fufu's head and smiled meaningfully.

"That's because Sister Xiao has a good eye for people, and we have enough bright spots to attract people. The rewards we give to Sister Xiao are far beyond imagination. It's not so much help as mutual investment."

There is admiration in Fufu's eyes. Compared with his wife, he is always a bit stupid, but he is very contented. It is enough to have one smart one in the family, and it is fine if there are two smart ones.

"The wife is right"

Wen Hao looked at Fufu's face looking at his wife and wanted to rub him into his bones.

"How do you know that what you say to your wife must be right? What if it's wrong?".

Fufu drank the half cup of tea left by his wife, and answered as a matter of course.

"In Fufu's eyes, everything is right, and what is wrong is also right."

It's really unprincipled, although Wen Hao shook his head, his expression was obviously satisfied with this answer.

The advantage of this is that people can be bought and sold, and they are counted as real estate. If you buy them back and put them into Wen's Juewei according to the selection, the cost of work is much lower than the monthly salary.

Especially the Lantern Festival is brightly lit all night.

Wen Maoguang calculated that in the ten days since the start of work, there has been a turnover of 2000 taels of silver, and the net profit after deducting costs is 200 taels. If this continues, it will only take three months to fully recover the cost. A lot of money is earned.

Wen Hao was quite satisfied with what he heard, but he kindly reminded him that the government would have to collect taxes at that time. The current scale plus the tax money from Wenjia Village would be a huge amount of money that ordinary people could not even imagine.

The tax of more than 1000 taels of silver is still affordable, but it hurts after all.

Seeing Wen Hao, the district chief also put it on the agenda, but he didn't inform Wen Hao in advance. He planned to attack suddenly and catch him by surprise.

The county magistrate Hu wanted to sell her a favor, and mentioned darkly that the district magistrate would come back and ask her to pay attention, but he couldn't say when, he just took precautions at any time.

If Wen Hao can really gain momentum, then he really doesn't need to do anything, he can get a lot of credit for nothing by just running errands.

In the backyard of the District Office, Cheng District saw the three sets of clothes in front of them tangled, and turned to ask the man behind.

"Do you think I should wear this official uniform, or this Chinese costume, or this civilian interview uniform?".

The man behind him with gentle eyebrows and a smile picked up the regular clothes from another cabinet to change for his wife.

"Official uniforms are more dignified, but this time it's a private visit. I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Even if you talk about rich and noble clothes, you will lose your intimacy. Although the official uniforms are simple, they are too different from the temperament of the wife-lord. I'm afraid it will be seen through at a glance. Why not?" I might as well just wear the normal clothes I usually wear when I go shopping with me, although each outfit my wife wears looks good, but this one is neither obtrusive nor pretentious, and is a good official who is close to people."

Her husband is really smart, he treats her very well, he doesn't want the three options, and finds a new way.

"In that case, Fu Lang will go with me and go shopping too. I heard that Wen Hao loves Fu Lang very much. That Fu Lang can make good snacks. You will find a way to satisfy your own greed." ".

At this time, Cheng Qu didn't look like a high-ranking official, with soft eyebrows, it was clear that she was a good woman who loved her husband very much.

Cheng District is a family marriage, and her husband is also surnamed Cheng Minrou, and her childhood sweetheart can be regarded as a good story.

"It's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

The traveling carriage was very inconspicuous, and brought a servant to the front of Wen's Juewei in Xicheng County.

From a distance, I could smell all kinds of fragrances, but these smells were novel, and the nunnery was flooded with saliva when I smelled them before eating them.

Seeing how busy Wen's Juewei was with people coming and going, he took Fulang's hand and walked in.

The inside is stall-style, the center of each floor is a stage, followed by tables and chairs, and the outermost stalls are one by one, and the food in each stall is different.

Exude their own unique taste.

However, the two were not in a hurry to buy, but went to the next level step by step hand in hand.

The bottom floor is bustling, and the upper floor is more clean, slowly transforming from friendly to elegant, and the top floor is a bit luxurious.

There is a private custom for eating while watching shadow puppetry, and there is a sign saying which day there will be a play and what rules, gourd baby, Zhu Bajie marrying a husband, tadpole looking for his father, and Nezha making trouble in the sea.

Each stall seems to be independent, but in fact it is integrated as a whole.

What Cheng District likes the most is the unlimited buffet.

One tael of silver is all you can eat per head, mainly hot pots, there are also many cooked foods, cold dishes, grilled, stewed, steamed, even steamed buns, steamed buns and desserts, there is no shortage of wine, fruits, and ice cubes.

But the limit is one hour, you can take as much as you eat, and you have to pay extra according to the weight if you can’t finish eating.

The last sentence was very pleasing to her, she is a person who cherishes food.

"Fu Lang, let's go here, there is everything in it, let's have a good meal."

For Cheng District, an official who is considerate of the common people and not very corrupt, a tael of silver per person is a little expensive, but it is still affordable, and besides, there are so many beautiful things in it, it must be worth it.

Cheng Rou looked at the various buns and cakes, and the sweet smell invaded her nose. The hooked person wanted to sit down and try it immediately.

But Cheng Qu was fancying all kinds of meat and wine, and he had to pay back his money no matter what he spent.

After a while, Xiao Er led the people into place, put on the special charcoal basin and instructed some precautions, and did not bother after arranging the bottom of the pot.

Cheng Qu took all the meat cooked in different ways, and finally dug out a big bowl of fried rice with a plate.

Cheng Rou tugged at the corner of his wife's clothes and whispered.

"Wife master, you'd better pay attention to your sense of proportion, otherwise it will be bad for people to see the influence."

Cheng District reassures his husband.

"Anyway, no one knows us, so it's hard not to carry it around for a while, isn't the most important thing to eat to your heart's content?".

Cheng Rou sighed, and finally let his wife go.

I was already hungry along the way, so I took a lot of dessert cakes and milk tea in one go, and I was very satisfied.

But half an hour later, it looked like another suit.

At first, I was satisfied with the meal, but then I realized that I took too much, and now both of them are full.

Cheng Rou, with a smile, took the dessert, which was still half a plate high, to Cheng Qu.

"My wife's desserts are really delicious, let's leave these to my wife to try."

After he was full, Cheng Qu didn't have any appetite after looking at these foods, and even felt a little nauseous.

Push the remaining small pot of meat to Cheng Rou.

"Rou'er, you have lost weight, listen to what you say as a wife, and eat more meat to replenish your body."

The eyes of the two were both on the food on the table, with despair in their eyes.

Enduring the nausea, he ruthlessly stuffed the food on the table into his mouth.

The food has been pushed to the throat.

In the end, the two got together and still had a plate.

With green faces, the two called the boy over.

"We are done eating, what should we do if we can't eat these?".

The servant immediately brought over a small scale, and there were eight taels of food left.

"Guest officer, do you want to eat more? If you exceed two taels, you will be charged one cent for every two taels. This is six dollars in total. You gave a deposit of one tael, and I will refund you four cents."

It was only then that Chen Qu realized that it was no wonder that a deposit was charged, so that was the case.

In the end, the two paid the money and helped each other out.

Cheng Rou: "Then shall we go to visit Wen's house now?".

Cheng Qu couldn't walk with his waist supported, so he felt more comfortable by leaning on the wall.

"Don't worry, let's digest food first."

It took more than an hour for the two to appear at the gate of Wen's courtyard.

Bang bang bang!
"Cheng Qute came to visit Boss Wen."

The gatekeeper was a year-old woman, she frowned when she saw the man and woman in front of her, and felt that the people in front of her didn't look like her no matter what.

"Xizhaofu District?"

Although I was puzzled, I didn't mean to question or be contemptuous, so I immediately reported it.

Wen Hao was a little surprised to hear that Cheng Qu came here in regular clothes.

"Please go to the main hall quickly and serve some refreshments. My lord and I will be there soon."

This is the first time a big man comes to the family, Fufu is a little nervous, but don't embarrass the wife.

Opening the door of the closet, there are only light-colored clothes. I knew that I should buy something more decent, otherwise I wouldn't make people think they are disrespectful, but now it's too late to regret it.

"Wife, tell me I should wear this light blue one, or this light blue one, or this light pink one."

But it made people nervous.

"These are all good. Fufu looks good in clothes, but there is no need to deliberately change them. Cheng District is a private visit, so it must be better to get closer."

Although the servants are not as strict as the rules of the official mansion, they are not rude to bow and lead people along the way, and they can joke a few words from time to time, and they all praise their wife and lord.

Cheng Rou crossed her hands in front of her, and followed behind the wife-lord for the second half of a step, silently looking at the mansion.

The faster the Cheng District, the more he felt relieved. Although the mansion is a bit bigger, it is simple and elegant without extravagance. What is refreshing is that the garden is not planted with tired flowers, but with various vegetables and trees. Most of them are fruit trees, and even the fish raised in the small pond are grass carp, and there is a little older man next to a ten-year-old child fishing with a fishing rod.

"Daddy, let's catch a bigger fish today and cook it for the lord and wife. The fish head is chopped with pepper, the fish bones are stewed in soup, the fish meat is steamed, the fish skin is fried until fragrant, and the fish scales are boiled and frozen."

The man poked the child's temple.

"I think you are greedy. There are only two servants and children in our courtyard. Our lord loves both of you when you come back. If there is not much left to eat, he specially asked you to grow up. After two years, you will also arrange work." I have done it, but I have to do it well, if it is in vain for Mrs. Madam to dote on you, I will deserve it if I sell you."

The little baby swallowed her saliva and nodded.

"That's natural, there is no better master than the master in the whole world."

……

Not far away, they all fell into the ears of the two.

Cheng Rou didn't expect that there were so many ways to eat this fish, so she kept it all in her heart and asked the people in the small kitchen to try it another day.

Cheng Rou was more and more satisfied, this person really couldn't find fault with her appetite, and she had no doubt that Hu County leaked the secret and acted for her specially.

After all, the vegetables and fruit trees in this yard cannot be planted in a few days.

Not long after Cheng Qu and Chen Rou were seated, Wen Hao and Fu Fu also came.

Seeing that the refreshments on the table hadn't moved, especially when the two of them looked at these refreshments, their expressions were not very good-looking.

"But it doesn't suit your appetite?"

Fufu followed suit.

"If it doesn't suit my appetite, I'll ask someone to come here in a different way."

What didn't suit my appetite was that they were full when they came, but they definitely couldn't say they were going to eat at the buffet and leaned against the wall, otherwise, where would she lose face.

Cheng Rou Bingxue was smart and immediately grabbed Fu Fu's hand.

"Mrs. Wen's lord is really virtuous, and he has made such good dim sum. The dim sum is excellent, and you don't need to change it."

Fufu was also happy to be praised, and Mr. Cheng did not dislike him because of his appearance.

Naturally, he also liked it very much, so he warmed up.

"You don't have to be cautious. I'll ask someone to bring some more. Mr. Cheng will try the taste. If there is something wrong with it, maybe it can be improved to a higher level."

Before Cheng Rou could stop him, Fufu greeted him, and immediately served five or six plates of different things.

Both of them are suffering...

Cheng Qu looked at Fu Lang with pity, and Cheng Rou suddenly felt that something was wrong.

as predicted.

Cheng Qu: "I think your yard is very unique, why don't we talk while walking."

Fulang, I wanted to share weal and woe with you, but now I really can't stand it anymore, take care of yourself for the time being, and take a step ahead for your wife.

Wen Hao should be.

"It's better to obey than to be respectful."

Cheng Rou...

Looking at the expectant eyes of Fufu in front of him, he had to force a smile, and picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.

"That's right, it's excellent. Wen's desserts are all unique, so I don't think there's any need for..."

Fufu has brought the next one to Cheng Rou.

"What about this...".

…………

Cheng Rou is bitter and angry, Cheng thief, if I survive today, you will sleep under the bed tonight.
