Power to the government and the public: Qian engaged in business in ancient times

Chapter 50
Wen Qian saw Wen Liang walk out of the gate of Fengfeng Building, her black eyes scanned the bustling lobby, and she raised her leg and stepped out of the threshold without hesitation.

The moment her foot hit the ground, Wen Qian sensed something was wrong.

I heard a delicate woman cry out in pain: "Ouch, my feet!"

No, did I step on a girl's foot?
Why... there are still women visiting flower houses?
"How do you look at the road, you stepped on this girl's foot, you poor girl..."

Tao Yi raised his head and couldn't help but say that he was about to scold Wen Qian. After seeing his unparalleled handsome face, he immediately changed his tone: "Master, you stepped on my foot, it hurts so much!"

Wen Qian immediately held back her prepared apology. Hearing the girl's tone, she was afraid that she would be scolded. Who knew that she changed the subject, and hearing this delicate female voice, a bad premonition flashed in her heart.

I saw the girl deliberately took a small step forward, staring at her face with dull eyes.

"Sorry, girl's feet still hurt? I'll take you to the pharmacy to see a doctor."

You might as well scold me arrogantly, what does it mean to covet my appearance!
Tao Yi naturally wouldn't listen to Wen Qian's duplicity.

Seeing Wen Qian's apologetic face, her voice was cold and peaceful, which was pleasant to hear, her face flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "Fortunately, the young master took the foot away in time, and it doesn't hurt now."

This kind of lady from a big family is arrogant and unreasonable at first glance, she had better get away as soon as possible.

"It's fine if it doesn't hurt. I have something to do, and there will be no future." Wen Qian smiled faintly, and was about to leave in a hurry.

Tao Yi's complexion changed, and he stretched out his hand to grab Wen Qian's gown, before he seriously looked at the man in front of him whom he had a crush on.

Not only the face is handsome, but the momentum of the whole body is also amazing.

Wen Qian didn't know that she would be so bold that she took the initiative to grab her clothes. From the corner of her eye, she saw that the obsession in her eyes had turned into a scrutiny, and she couldn't help frowning.

"My lord, can you repeat what you just said!" Tao Yi looked at Wen Qian with dissatisfaction on his face.

Wen Qian felt the desire to conquer in her words, and felt a burst of annoyance in her heart.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have said the phrase 'the future will be indefinite', and I wouldn't have been caught by her.

"Ah...it turns out that the girl's ears are not good at such a young age, so I'll say it again!" Wen Qian glanced critically at her, dragging her voice on purpose.

"How dare you scold me, don't think that this girl just takes a fancy to you, so you dare to act recklessly!" Tao Yi blushed with anger, and subconsciously let go.

Wen Qian saw her let go, a smile flashed in her eyes, she used her internal strength to stagger her body, kept a certain distance, then turned her head and said provocatively: "Thank you for your kindness, I have no blessing to endure it, and there will be no future!"

Tao Yi looked at Wen Qian's disappearing back, and said bitterly in her heart: Don't get angry, don't get angry, when I meet you again, you must bow down under my pomegranate skirt.

"Miss, it's time for us to go in and find the Eldest Young Master." The maid, Cai Ling, who was left aside in the cold, saw that everyone around her was looking at her young lady strangely, and hurriedly tugged on her cloak.

"Smelly girl, why didn't you stop that handsome young master just now." Tao Yi came back to her senses, and looked displeasedly at the maid beside her, Cailing.

"I, I didn't react." Cai Ling said in a low voice with a sad face.

"Hmph, useless things, I'll take care of you when I go back." Tao Yi gouged out the color bell, turned and entered the Wind and Rain Tower.

Only then did I realize that I came here because I needed to find my elder brother Tao Zhe for urgent matters.

Not far away, Wen Qian met Wen Liang who looked worried.

"Agan, why did it take you so long to come back, I was going to see you."

Wen Qian shook her head and said as she walked, "I'm fine, I just had a little accident."

Wen Liang was curious, and asked, "What accident?"

"I won't tell you anymore, little-unexpected!" Wen Qian accentuated the last three words.

Wen Liang instantly understood that he didn't want to say anything, so he said it right away.

Soon, the two arrived at the remote place where old man Mo parked the carriage, and then got into the carriage one after the other.

Seeing that Wen Qian was not injured, Old Man Mo replaced the worry in his eyes with a smile, raised his whip, and slapped it on the horse's leg, "Drive—!"

The sound of "da da da" horseshoes is especially clear in the quiet night.

Old man Mo drove the carriage and parked outside Wen's courtyard.

Wen Qian got out of the car, saw that the sky was still dark, and immediately stopped Wen Liang who got out of the car and was about to go home: "Brother Datang, don't go home, you are walking in the village at this time, wouldn't you kill chickens, ducks, dogs and cats?" Wake up, go to sleep at my house."

After Wen Liang had a meal, he instantly understood that there was something in Wen Qian's words, because he was afraid of attracting the attention of others, "Okay."

Wen Qian cupped her fists at Old Man Mo, and said, "Uncle Mo, please take care of me."

Old Man Mo shook his head indifferently, with a respectful face: "Master, you don't have to be polite to me. I will feel at ease if I can send you home safe and sound. Go back soon!"

Wen Qian nodded as usual, and entered the courtyard with Wen Liang.

Go back to the house and light the oil lamp.

Wen Qian didn't feel sleepy at all, seeing Wen Liang yawned a few times, she gave him the bed directly.

Sitting in front of the desk, Wen Qian remembered that Butcher Gou wanted to buy sausage recipes yesterday, her eyes became sharper, then she took out an ink ingot and threw it into the inkstone, poured some water, and began to grind it gently.

Grinding ink should be light and heavy, and the speed should be moderate. Keep the ink stick vertical and straight, and make circles vertically on the inkstone. Do not grind obliquely or push straight, let alone grind randomly, otherwise the ground ink will be uneven.

After a quarter of an hour, the ink was ground.

Roll out the rice paper and press down with a ruler.

Wen Qian randomly picked a brush, dipped it in ink and started writing.

First, how to make sausages, then how to make roast duck, and finally, barbecue and hot pot. After writing, I wrote two contract documents together.

Suddenly, Wen Qian raised her head and shook her sore neck, only to realize that it was already daylight and the oil lamp had been extinguished.

Faintly hearing the sound of water in the yard, she opened the door and went out, and saw Mrs. Jiang washing unknown leafy vegetables by the mouth of the well.

When Jiang heard the footsteps, she looked up to see Wen Qian. She was a little surprised, and then smiled gently: "Agan, wake up, you can have breakfast soon."

Wen Qian nodded in response: "Mom, what are you cooking for?"

"I steamed the buckwheat buns, and then cooked a pot of porridge with leaves." While Jiang was speaking, the dishes were also washed.

"Well, the big hall brother is also having breakfast at our house."

Just as Jiang stood up, she was taken aback when she heard this, "Ah Liang? When is he coming?"

Wen Qian made up an excuse and told about Wen Liang's stay at home, so as not to scare them when Wen Liang would wake up later.

"He couldn't sleep last night, he came to chat with me in the middle of the night, and now he's sleeping in my room and hasn't woken up yet!"

With a twitch in Jiang's heart, she immediately understood why Wen Qian asked about her breakfast.

This is to remind me that I am worried about not having enough food.

"okay, I get it."

When it was time to eat, Wen Qian saw that Wen Liang was still sleeping, so she straightened up.

After dinner.

Wen Liang left behind an exquisite jade pendant, saying that it was offered by a man named Tao Zhe he met in Fengyu Tower last night. It was a poetry meeting, so Wen Qian went to see the excitement tomorrow if he was interested, and then went home.

Afterwards, Jiang went to the vegetable field to weed.

Wen Yu took a bamboo basket to the village chief's house to find Wen Fang to dig wild vegetables, and Wen Rou also went to visit with the little fox in his arms.

Seeing her alone at home was quite boring. Looking at the rising sun, she wanted to see how her uncles and second uncles were planting prickly ash trees.

Before he went out, someone came to the house.

"Humen."

"Wen Xiucai, I came to you because I encountered difficulties raising pigs."

"Oh? What difficulty?"

While talking, Wen Qian welcomed Humen into the main room and sat down, then poured two more cups of hot tea.

Humen was not hypocritical, and said: "We bought 1000 or [-] piglets a few days ago, and Duobao and I began to feed the piglets according to your requirements, and we cut pig grass everywhere. The piglets we were looking for at the beginning There is still enough grass for them to eat, but in recent days there has been less and less pigweed, and other people in the village have also raised pigs, so we can’t cut them all away, so there is not enough food for the piglets.”

Wen Qian was taken aback when she heard him speak, and then found it funny.

The pigweed in the wild is gone, it can be fed... oops, why did I forget.

This is ancient times, food is scarce, there is not enough food for people, how can we feed piglets.

After contemplating for a while, Wen Qian thought of Bashan, and remembered that today was the first day of the new year, and she had to go to the old Taoist Du Xie to learn poison.

"Humen, let's go! I'll go find Duobao together with you, and take you to a good place where there are guaranteed to be endless pigweeds and wild vegetables."

Humen looked confused: "Where?"

"Pull up the mountain."
