Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Wang Ximeng and Zhao Jiajun returned to their hometown in embarrassment. Because Zhao Jiajun no longer had the reputation of being a scholar, the land tax and Yao service could no longer be exempted.

Regardless of whether there is any conflict between the couple, they cannot tell the truth in their hometown.

At this time, Wang Ximeng was glad that she had bought a house in the county before. Now her whole family could live in it and find a way to start a small business. At least they could have enough food and clothing.

The Zhao family only thought that Zhao Jiajun had suffered from the disaster of the two kings, so he was dismissed from his official position, and they had no other choice but to sigh.

I originally hoped that Zhao Jiajun would impress others, but now it seems that it was all in vain.

Zhao Jiajun and Wang Ximeng lived in the county town. Now apart from a lotus, there is only an old servant couple left.

Zhao Jiajun had been drugged by Wang Ximeng when he was in the capital and could no longer be pregnant. But he didn't know it. Ever since he knew that his future was hopeless, he seemed to have lost his temper. He spent all day either drinking or messing around with Lotus.

Wang Ximeng is not angry now, mainly because Zhao Jiajun has no sense of presence here.

She doesn't care at all!

Anyway, all the money is in her hands, and Zhao Jiajun doesn't know what his family background is, so it's all up to her.

"I'm thinking of opening another restaurant. I can earn as much as I want every day. At least I can afford food for our family."

After all, Wang Ximeng has gained experience in the capital. Whether it is selling steamed buns or wontons, it is not a problem.

Of course, Wang Ximeng won't do it by herself. It's too hard, and she also has a pair of children to take care of.

While Zhao Jiajun was still awake, Wang Ximeng discussed with him that he wanted to rent a shop outside, and then buy a pair of servants to run the shop.

In fact, it is almost the same as when I was in Beijing.

Zhao Jiajun had no objection, but he also knew that there was not much money left at home.

"How much money do we have left?"

"It's less than one hundred taels, so I said I can only rent a shop. I'll go to Yahang later to see if there are any craftsmen who can cook. If there are, it will make it easier to open a restaurant."

"Okay." Zhao Jiajun actually didn't have any ideas. He didn't make money in the first place. He had always just read and written. Now that he's like this, he doesn't want to go out to meet people. He always feels that when he goes out, people outside are laughing at him for being incompetent. Generations!

It's okay if he doesn't go out, which saves Wang Ximeng from worrying about him hanging around outside.

As for the lotus, its fate is not so good.

It was enough to let her sit idle for a few days when she first came back. How could she be allowed to follow Zhao Jiajun every day and just enjoy the happiness and not work?

"Zhao Lang, although you have lost your fame, the knowledge in your belly is not fake. I think it is better to teach in a private school in the village. I don't want to be too much and just let the people in the village give me some training." Food is enough. What do you think?"

As long as Zhao Jiajun is not allowed to eat for free!

But Zhao Jiajun was not happy.

Now that he doesn't even want to leave his own house, how can he be willing to teach?

Wouldn't it be ridiculed?

Wang Ximeng couldn't persuade him, so she had to give up.

Just stay at home. If that doesn't work, go ask about copying books.

Zhao Jiajun's handwriting is quite good.

Everything is cheap here in Gaoxian County.

I rented a small restaurant with only a front room, and when it was time to do business, I would put up a cloth screen outside and put a few tables and chairs at the door, so the cost would be much lower.

Mainly because that's what everyone does.

The rent came down to fifteen taels a year, so Wang Ximeng directly signed a two-year lease with them.

After that, Wang Ximeng went to Yahang again. It’s a pity that I didn’t pick it up.

After waiting for a few more days, I heard that there were new people coming to the dental shop, and then I chose a middle-aged couple.

This couple had a little girl with them. If they wanted to buy it, they would have to buy it as a family of three. This would be selling themselves off.

When Wang Ximeng asked, she found out that their family came from the next county. The family was divided. Because men were not favored, they were kicked out of the house. Later, they injured their legs while doing hard labor, so they took out all the money. I was empty and had no choice, so I had no choice but to come up with this idea.

Wang Ximeng spent ten taels of silver to buy their family of three, and then took them to a restaurant.

This couple is quite capable, and the woman already knows how to cook, so she can master it with a little training.

As for their daughter, she just stayed at home and did some chores. Wang Ximeng had no interest in abusing child labor, but she couldn't spend money to buy an idle person and come back to eat free of charge, right?

Because the restaurant is small, after closing the stall, the couple went back to the host's house, where they prepared the corresponding ingredients and waited to return to the restaurant early the next morning.

Fortunately, it's not far away, otherwise we would suffer.

The restaurant only served breakfast and lunch. After all, it was just two people working, and Gaoyang County was not the capital, so it was not that lively. After being open for half a month, Wang Ximeng earned about 300 Wen in interest.

It's far behind compared to Beijing.

But what can be done?

Three hundred cash to buy food is enough to feed their family for two months.

Wang Ximeng could only sigh, let's keep it like this for now, at least there will be income every month, which is better than sitting on nothing.

After Wang Ximeng saw that everything in the restaurant was on track, he took out the balsamic paste and powder he had made earlier.

Although it is still rough, it is completely acceptable in Gaoyang County.

However, because few were sold, Wang Ximeng did not need to hire anyone, he could do it himself.

Of the old servant couple at home, one is responsible for looking after the door, and the other is mainly responsible for cooking.

He Hua basically takes care of other tasks. Because the little girl is young, she is mainly responsible for sweeping the floor and helping the old woman take care of the children.

Breakfast is made from lotus flowers. The old woman sleeps with her children at night and cannot get up in the morning, so she is only responsible for lunch and dinner, and takes care of the children at other times.

Why not let Zhao Jiajun's parents help?

Don’t the fields at home need to be planted?

And now that Zhao Jiajun has no fame, the land cannot be thrown away.

After so many years of struggle, Wang Ximeng has finally figured out that in this era, farmland is the most valuable thing!

In any case, the fields cannot be sold.

Not only can't it be sold, but when you have money in the future, you will have to buy more land.

Wang Xi dreamed of having a son, and now she regrets why she was so anxious to have a child.

She was afraid that Zhao Jiajun would abandon her if he passed the examination, so she thought of using her child to trap this man.

It's fine now, but the man is stuck.

But is this really the life she wants?

If that's all, forget it.

But who would have thought that Zhao's mother would come over from time to time to catch the autumn wind, saying that the couple was enjoying happiness in the county and did not know how to be filial to their parents. This was a big mistake!

Wang Ximeng couldn't win every argument. Between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, no matter how strong she was, she was still the weak one, so she had to spend money almost every time.

How do you live these days?
