Chapter 532 532. What is that?
Beijing has a moderate temperature and distinct four seasons, making it suitable for growing most crops.

Potatoes are growing well, and even if they haven't yet begun to bear fruit, you can guess by just looking at the plants that there will be a bumper harvest.

The smile on Wang An's face was rippling.

"It will be collected in a few days, and the two old men will definitely come by then."

"Come."

Cheng Dagan agreed in one bite, "These potatoes are very delicious. When fried, roasted, fried or pan-fried, the flavor will be off your tongue. However, the taste is worse when eaten boiled."

Wang An choked, I bet you only think about eating.

This is a high-yielding grain. If every household can plant Dayan, no one will go hungry.

This is a major event that can go down in history!

Cheng Daqian didn't realize at all that he was worried about the country and the people. He pulled out the foot that was stuck in the soil with a little force. He looked at it from a distance and was surprised.

"what is that?"

Cheng Daqian's good eyesight saw an unfamiliar green plant not far away. It had grown to thigh height, with only a few leaves, which were ridiculously large.

"Why does this look like it's from southern Xinjiang?"

There have never been such big leaves in the north.

"It's corn."

Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi were coming here to answer their questions.

"What? The corn looks like this? Where is it? Why can't you see the stick?"

"There is no result yet. It's not the right time yet."

Cheng Xi pointed to the middle and upper position of one plant, "It's probably here. You can see it in about half a month."

"Then I will definitely come back in a few days."

Cheng Daqian has eaten corn before. Sticky corn is sold in the vending machines of Interstellar Supermarket. If there is no time to eat, most people will choose to buy one and nibble on it while going on the road.

That thing is chewy and has a strong feeling of satiety, and is sometimes more popular than a sandwich.

Mr. Xu had also seen it before, and he walked around the cornfield with great interest. Only Wang An was confused, staring at the corn stalks with doubts.

So, this area is also for food?

Such a big plant only has long leaves and nothing next to it. Is it that it is holding back its big move?
Ouch, why didn't he think about this before?
Wang An felt regretful.

"Master, don't worry, old man, my subordinates will take good care of these corns in the future."

"It's not necessary, just weed it from time to time."

Shen Xingluo felt that the "good care" mentioned by Wang An was not something that ordinary plants could bear. Look at those acres of potatoes. Being cared for by someone is more precious than gold.

"Corn is cold-resistant and drought-resistant. It can grow even if it is planted on a mountain. No special care is required."

"Ah, yes."

Alas, I have so much passion and nowhere to vent it~
Wang An became even more depressed.

The group of people returned to Zhuangzi from the fields. Shen Xingqi and Wang Shu had spread out on a green lawn to eat, and the youth group had also made a lot of food.

A few people sat on the ground, listening to the chirping of insects and birds in their ears, eating green dumplings and drinking tea, which was very comfortable.

This is the correct posture for an outing.

***
A lipstick shop jointly owned by several young girls soon opened and was named Qingyi Pavilion.

The auspicious moment has arrived. A woman in red took the fire from the hand of the maid and lit the fuse. A burst of crackling firecrackers resounded throughout the main street.

"Look, there are a lot of people coming!"

At that time, several people were sitting in the teahouse opposite the shop, having Jiang Yuyao's first meeting with besties since she got married.

Of course, the main reason was that I didn't feel comfortable coming to see if the business was going well on the first day of the store's opening.

Cheng Xi was dragged over by Shen Xingqi to join in the fun. He saw the "opening ceremony" just a few minutes after sitting down. There were many people gathered at the entrance of Qingyi Pavilion, most of them were well-dressed female relatives.

"Is the woman in red the shopkeeper?"

"Yes, she is the widow of a military lieutenant. We all call her Sister Hong."

Song Yan was responsible for finding the shopkeeper.

"Most of the female waiters and workers in the shop are military families. They keep their mouths shut and make sure not to let the secret recipe leak out!"

She was very confident about this.

"Thank you, Yan'er! You still have a way to find someone. If it were us, we would probably just go to Renyazi to buy someone."

"Hey, I'm just looking for some people to do some work. This little bit of work is nothing. You guys are running out of shops and stuff, so I can only help you with the help of people."

Song Yan said, "But then again, I have to thank you for giving me this job this time. It has solved the worries of many military officers."

She not only helped but also did a good deed for her brother's generals, getting the best of both worlds.

"Really?"

Qu Shaoya was pleasantly surprised, "Have we done a good thing unintentionally?"

"Yes, yes, you are the living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering."

"Hey hey hey~"

"If our shop can make money, it will definitely expand in the future. If we recruit more people then, it will be left to you, Yan'er."

"no problem!"

"Xiao Xingqi's lipsticks are so colorful and diverse. She will definitely make money. It will be a matter of time before she recruits people."

"Besides, Qingyi Pavilion not only has lipstick, but also other rouges and gouache in the future."

The little girls gathered around, chatting together, discussing how to make money, and looking forward to a bright future. Cheng Xi felt a little happy watching this scene.

They are all wealthy ladies, and their families have a lot of property. If they would not take a small cosmetics shop seriously in normal times, now it has a completely different meaning just because they "personally" established it.

Are we going to get together tonight and count the profits one coin at a time?

The picture is so beautiful that I can’t bear to look at it.

"Pfft~"

"Sister Cheng, why are you laughing? But what did we say wrong?"

"No, I see that many guests have already entered. I'm happy for you."

"Ah, are there guests? Really?"

Several people's attention was immediately diverted. They opened the windows and looked across. At this moment, all the rules and etiquette were thrown away and completely forgotten.

The opening of Qingyi Pavilion was actually not widely publicized. Perhaps because they were too confident in lipstick, or perhaps they did not want to use their status to waste favors, several people tacitly did not invite acquaintances to support them.

All that can come here today is tap water.

"I don't know if they will like the lipstick we make."

"Then you must like it. Have you ever used the previous one since it was made?"

"."

Not really. The few of them looked at each other and dispelled the uncertainty in their hearts with a tacit understanding.

It’s impossible not to like them, and it’s impossible for any woman to refuse their lipstick!

The facts are indeed as expected.

The firecrackers in front of Qingmin Pavilion attracted many female relatives passing by. After the crackling sound, several people walked into the store out of curiosity. When they saw such a unique lipstick, they couldn't walk at all.

It turns out that lip balm is not only available in paper sheets and porcelain bottles, but also in cylindrical shapes. Just pinch the lower part and turn it slightly to see!
It turns out that the lipstick can fit the lip shape so well, and it looks so cute and delicate!
It turns out there are so many colors, and they can match different skin colors and dresses!

It's like opening up a new world (ΩДΩ)! ! !

buy.

Must buy!
"This, this, and this, the shopkeeper, wrap them up for me."

"Two of each, I will take them back and give one to my sister."

Sister Hong, who was responsible for receiving the first wave of guests, smiled, and the flower-like smile on her face never fell.

"Girl, if you plan to have one of each, we have sets here. It's more affordable if you buy a set."

What, what, a suit?

The teenage girls suddenly opened their eyes curiously, with words written all over them, "Where is it? Where is it? Take it out and let me see."

The female clerk in the shop was very discerning and brought a small wooden box. The exterior was carved with exquisite patterns, and the pull tab on the front seemed to be plated with gold.

The girls eagerly opened the wooden box and gasped when they saw nearly twenty lipsticks neatly arranged inside.

"Oh my God!"

"Are they all different colors~(*▽*)~"

What do you want to do if you want to?
No one wants to let go!

"Here, how much money will it cost?"

"Today is the opening day of Qingyi Pavilion. There is a half-price discount. The set meal only costs twenty-five taels of silver and you can take it away."

Sister Hong glanced at the faces of several people, and found the right opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "If you miss today, there won't be such a favorable price in the future."

What, what, it won’t be this price in the future?
You have to buy it. If you miss this village, you won’t be able to find that store.

Although it does sound a bit expensive, there are more than twenty colors in one box~
"Give me a set!"

"I'll buy a set too."

"Shopkeeper, give me two sets!"

In the teahouse opposite, several people stared closely at the movement in the shop opposite, their little hands clutching handkerchiefs betraying their nervousness.

It wasn't until several female customers walked out of the shop reluctantly and happily that they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come out, someone came out, and they seem to have bought something!"

"I see, I see, that maid is holding our wooden box set meal in her hand."

"Wow~ Great patron, that's 25 taels of silver."

what?
25 taels?
Shen Xingqi's eyes were as wide as bells, "Is it so expensive?"

It's not her responsibility to set the price.

She only knew that things in Beijing were expensive, but she didn't expect them to be so expensive!
The little girl immediately tightened her grip on the small purse around her waist, obediently, her private money was not enough to buy several set meals.

~o(╥﹏╥)o~
Qin Nan shook his head repeatedly, "It's not expensive."

The Qin family is a family of merchants, and she has a strong say in this regard.

"The capital city is prosperous, and a box of ordinary rouge in an ordinary rouge shop costs one or two silver. Our lipstick is unique to Dayan. A wooden box set contains 20 colors of lipstick and several lip balms. If averaged, one The portion is less than one tael of silver."

"After all, it's really not expensive?"

The little girl was convinced in a daze, and secretly felt that the price of 25 taels was not only not expensive, but also very common.

Wait, this is obviously half price.

If a few days have passed, hey, 50 taels of silver!

Shen Xingqi subconsciously clenched the money bag around her waist again.

Cheng Xi glanced at the others and saw Jiang Yuyao and Song Yan's expressions of approval and knew that the price was very fair.

However, in her opinion, it was still a bit expensive.

Prices in the Yan Dynasty were similar to those in modern times. A copper plate could be converted into one dollar, and a lipstick worth one tael of silver would cost 1000 yuan.

emmm~~The most expensive lipstick in modern times only costs two to three hundred yuan~(╥╯^╰╥)~
There are always people coming and going in front of Qingmin Pavilion. This is the main street of the capital. There are countless passers-by. Many people plan to go in and take a look when they see a new shop opened.

As expected, everyone was packed with bags when they came out.

The excitement increased as time went by, and the excitement was almost comparable to that of the fruit wine shop where the team was filming not far away.

"What does that new shop sell? Why are all the customers so happy when they come out?"

"It seems to be a cosmetics shop. I saw the female shopkeeper this morning. She was very beautiful in red clothes!"

"How about we go and have a look too?"

"I'll go after I finish buying the fruit wine. If I bring back the rouge gouache I've never seen before, I might be able to get a reward from the lady."

"That's it."

The maids in the team murmured quietly, secretly deciding to visit later.

Although the shareholders of Qingyi Pavilion in the teahouse didn't know it, they knew that today's opening went very smoothly when looking at the endless stream of customers, and they all smiled very happily.

In the evening of the same day, not long after Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi returned to the Shen family courtyard, a clerk from the shop came to announce the good news. The first day's sales were so huge that Sister Hong closed the store early.

***
Since its opening, Qingmin Pavilion has received many female relatives from Beijing every day, and its reputation has spread in a small area.

The small shareholders began to be so enthusiastic about counting money that their hands cramped. This state lasted for several days before slowly easing up. However, every few days they would gather together and sit in the teahouse opposite the shop to chat.

Shen Xingqi always brings Wang Shu to participate. God knows how happy she is after seeing the generous dividends.

Fortunately, the expensive lipstick didn't come from her pocket.

On the contrary, it goes into his own pocket.

Oh, the shares of more than one shop on this main street will go to the Shen family. In addition to Qingyi Pavilion, there is also the Qin family’s fruit wine shop!

Double happiness(〃'▽'〃)
Cheng Xi would occasionally accompany the little girl to chat. If she was lazy one day, she would stay at home. The little girl finally had her own social circle, and her parents had to give her enough freedom.

Of course, as an adult, she doesn't have to do nothing every day.

After the Chinese New Year, Mr. Xu planned to take her to a free clinic. As the weather got warmer, the old man and the young man set off to a village in the suburbs, often changing places every day.

So a news gradually spread in Shiliba Village on the outskirts of Beijing. Recently, two miracle doctors came to the capital. They not only provided free medical treatment to the people, but sometimes even gave away medicines, saving countless people who were on the verge of life and death.

"That old miracle doctor has an immortal spirit, and his acupuncture skills are superb!"

"The handsome young man next to the old man is even more handsome, and his medical skills are not bad at all. The eldest girls and daughters-in-law in our village can't even walk after seeing him!"

"How come I heard that the miraculous doctor has great martial arts skills and has taken down many ruffians?"

"Oh, yes, yes, that's what happened. Oh, it's all the fault of Liu Lezi at the head of the village. He can't mess with anyone, but a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth and mocks the young master for being effeminate. Isn't that asking for a beating?"

"The old miracle doctor treated Liu Leizi's mother, and he even asked her to pay for the medicine!"
