Chapter 400 Undercurrent
The shop was closed at Youshi. Before going out, Shen Ru told the people in the kitchen that she would not go home to eat today.

"Come with me, everyone. You've worked hard today. I'll treat you all to a barbecue."

"Madam, I think it's because you're greedy!" An Qiao said hurriedly. After a busy day, she was indeed tired. Thinking of the sizzling and greasy barbecue made her mouth water!
"Yeah, I'm greedy. Let's go. The barbecue tavern is two streets away!"

In Liangzhou during the Youshi period, the sky was bright, but the shops on the street were beginning to close one by one.Only taverns and inns are still open.

There aren't many customers in the tavern, but you can smell the aroma of barbecued meat from afar.

Zisu and Lianhua had never seen this barbecue before. They looked around and saw that they had never been here before.Bai Qianqian, on the other hand, was also a little shocked. Shen was so familiar with the shopkeeper!
"This sheep is from my ranch. It is very fresh and the meat quality is very good. The fat and lean meat skewers are sizzling and oily when grilled. When you eat the meat and drink the sheep soup, your whole body will feel warm."

As a host, Shen Ru told others how to eat barbecue and how to drink mutton soup.

"Shen Ru, are you the owner of this shop?" Bai Qianqian said suddenly.

"That's right, didn't I say that?" Shen Ru admitted truthfully, "Chef Zhuang used to work as a cook on the ranch. Later, when I wanted to open this barbecue bistro, he volunteered to come here."

Bai Qianqian looked at Shen Ru with some resentment, and finally sighed and said: "Shen Ru, you have such a good time in Liangzhou!"

There is a ranch, a tavern, a cotton mat workshop and a shop, there is also a stone candle workshop, and there seems to be a village... In just one year, has Shen Ru done so many things in Liangzhou?

"On average, compared to what I invested before, some of it has not been paid back yet!" Shen Ru said modestly.

How much money has the Shen family hidden?Bai Qianqian was amazed in her heart, but she also admired Shen Ru, a scholar, farmer, industrialist and merchant. She was a daughter of a marquis, but she was able to do so much business in Liangzhou without any baggage after becoming a refugee.

Well, she will definitely be able to find her own way!
The group of people had a good meal in the tavern, sent Zisu and Lotus back to the shop, and after instructing them to lock the shop from the inside, Shen Ru and the others returned to the Governor's Mansion.

The bright light came out of the room, and Shen Ru couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She could imagine Xiao Wujin waiting in the room.

"I'm back!" Shen Ru opened the door and entered the house, seeing Xiao Wujin's resentful eyes.

"Aru, you smell of oil smoke." Xiao Wujin complained, "You... went to eat barbecue!"

Shen Ru sniffed himself, well, it's inevitable!

"Everyone is very tired today. As the boss, I naturally have to sympathize with everyone." Shen Ru sat next to Xiao Wujin and comforted: "Then next time I will take you there?"

"Okay." Xiao Wujin pretended to be aggrieved. How could he blame Shen Ru?How many times did Shen Ru fall asleep when she was busy until midnight.Pulling Shen Ru into his arms smoothly, Xiao Wujin asked considerately: "I'm very tired after a busy day. Why don't you give me a squeeze on your shoulders?"

Shen Ru chuckled and said, "Okay!" Why wouldn't she be happy if someone helped relieve her stress?

"Yan Zhenshan is also here today. I just know that she bought my stuff to imitate it, but it doesn't matter, no one can influence the customer's preferences." Shen Ru said about the things in the shop.

"My mother is also here. Let me talk to her about recent events. Xiao Lang, how long will those three giant Buddhas stay?"

"I'm also waiting, whether the rebels are faster or their families are faster." Xiao Wujin said, "There is no chaos in Shazhou. Sima took over everything. He probably didn't want to rebel, so he simply told the governor of Shazhou who was arrested. I don't care about what happened in Liangzhou."

"The situation in Suzhou and Ganzhou is unclear, but generally speaking, they are like scattered sand. I am thinking that except for their respective families, no one wants them to go back!" Xiao Wujin said calmly, "The grassroots team they formed before , I can’t even bother with it anymore.”

"Are those three people really abandoned?" Shen Ru was stunned. "Do you think if we let them go back, will they be killed by our own people?" "It's possible." Xiao Wujin replied, "So, first of all, Just keep it, I don’t know if the rebels have already captured the imperial city!”

Shen Ru thought for a while, maybe he could capture it, but it would probably be several months before he could return to Liangzhou after reorganizing the capital.

"If I don't bring a large force, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover the three cities. I really don't want the northwest to be involved in the war." Shen Ru said worriedly, "I just want everything to develop in a good direction. By April, my Zhuangzi is going to start growing cotton again.”

"Yes, the agricultural officer has also visited some fields. I extracted all the key points about rice cultivation from Qi Min Yao Shu and informed the agricultural officer. I hope the harvest in Liangzhou will be better this year."

She was quite tired at first, but after talking with Xiao Wujin at night, Shen Ru became more energetic.

"My parents also want to buy a village. So what do you think is good to grow? If it's rice, is there any grain grown in the government granary? The grain collected last year was not shipped to the capital."

"Last year, I didn't collect food." Xiao Wujin said, "The people's life is hard. Now that I know that the court doesn't care, except for the merchants' taxes, I will exempt the people from the food."

"If you want to grow grain, you will always have it. I will ask the agricultural officer to prepare some later. If the people can grow more grain, it will also be a guarantee for Liangzhou."

"My mother just thought that she would be able to be self-sufficient in the future. With a village, she would not be short of anything."

Shen Ru said: "When I finish what I'm doing, let's go to the fields together. You have to apply what you've learned, right?"

"Are you going to farm for your husband?" Xiao Wujin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It's not necessary, but if you know more about it, what if it comes in handy in the future?" Shen Ru teased.

The breath of night became thicker and thicker, and the atmosphere became ambiguous as the two talked.

"Madam, it's time to go to bed!" Xiao Wujin lowered his voice.

Shen Ru yawned, indicating that he was sleepy.Seeing the lust in Xiao Wujin's eyes again, he gave Xiao Wujin a peck on the mouth. "I'm going to take a shower, wait for me!"

"Aru... together..." Xiao Wujin pulled Shen Ru and said in a dark voice.

"okay!"

At night in Yanxia Pavilion, the patrons were very fascinated by the hip-length pants worn by the girl. Shen Ru had also expected this, but she really didn't know that the wind could blow so fast.

Half a month after the shop opened, it was still tepid, but gradually, some ladies from rich families sent their servants to buy those pants.

This day, Shen Ru looked at the inventory in the store and couldn't help but smile.Pure cotton pants that cost one tael of silver a pair are selling so well!

"You're not just hitting the mark, but you're really taking the wrong approach. Shen Ru, I'm afraid this thing will become the joy of the boudoir!" Bai Qianqian spoke of this matter calmly.

"Yeah, I think so." No matter how many cotton pads I sell, they can't sell as much as a pair of pants, so Mrs. Mo has to rush the work!The style can be changed!
