Pastoral affairs

Seeing that Cui Wei nodded after collecting the money, she went into the kitchen, and when she came out after a while, she saw that she had already brought out several baskets. I put it in the cloth bag I had prepared before, took another blue cake, and showed it to Feng Liu: "Sister Feng, my store just opened here, and this is the first time you bought it, this is a gift for Feng Liu. Madame's."

After eating candy and biscuits yesterday, Mrs. Feng came to buy these two things early this morning, Cui Wei is confident that she can sell this cake for sure.

As soon as Feng Liu heard that there was still something to give away, thinking about the food that Cui Wei sent yesterday, she guessed that the things she gave should not be cheap, so she nodded, thanked her, and took the things and left .

Sure enough, Feng Liu came over again in the afternoon, saying that he wanted to buy the cake that Cui Wei sent in the morning.On the first day, I only did business with Feng's family. On the second day, Qin Huai brought a large group of people over. They sat here and ate a lot of food. Gradually, someone probably introduced the shop here, and they came to eat. The number of people gradually increased.Cui Wei took advantage of this time to ask Nie Qiuran to help her, and asked someone to make some biscuit molds, bought some green onions, added oil, and tried to make scallion oil-flavored biscuits. Trying out some ideas, Nie Qiuran is fine, but Cui Jingping doesn’t know if he eats too much jam-flavored and egg-flavored biscuits. He likes to eat more of this kind of scallion-flavored biscuits, and he also learned from it. I did it, but I guess it’s not good for a new hand. Seeing that I can’t stay in the city for a few days, Cui Wei simply took advantage of these few days to make a lot of scallion oil-flavored biscuits.

The number of people who came to buy things in the past few days has gradually increased, and the shop has gradually become busy.Cui Wei has put a lot of things on the shelves in the past few days. Once cakes and other things are placed on the empty shelves, they don’t look like they used to. Gradually, they look like a shop. , Cui Wei has made scallion-flavored biscuits these days. I always feel that my hair and clothes have a scallion smell. Even after taking a bath and changing clothes, I can feel the smell on my body. The shop here is busy. It's almost done, and it's gradually taking shape.Seeing that the Chinese New Year would be around ten days away, Cui Wei decided to stay for another two days after discussing with Nie Qiuran and Cui Jingping and went back.

In the morning, he received several wives introduced by the Feng family, and after noon, Qin Huai brought people over again.He came the most these days, bringing a group of people over every time he came back. Cui Wei earned him a lot of money these days.Seeing that he was busy, he cleared the table and brought a lot of food out to fill the table. Then Qin Huai sat for a long while and talked to Nie Qiuran. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to go back in the next few days. I still have nephews and nieces at home, so I want to ask my siblings to make more things for me. I want to take some of them home." I guess Qinhuai's home is not far from Lin'an City, otherwise it would be impossible to say that he would go back just a few days after the Chinese New Year. It has become colder and colder these days. It has been drizzling in the city for the past two days, and it is so cold that people are shivering. In such an environment.Things won't break after a few days, so Cui Wei naturally agreed.

She thought about what was left in her kitchen.I'm afraid it's running out, Qin Huai wants a lot of quantity, Cui Wei decided to make some more at this moment, got up and apologized to Qin Huai, before approaching the kitchen, she heard Qin Huai say to Nie Qiuran with a smile: "Original I thought you bought those fluffy things as gifts for your younger sister, but I didn’t expect that your younger siblings would like them.” When Cui Wei heard this, she staggered and nearly fell, and immediately turned her head to look at Nie Qiuran depressedly, seeing him His eyes narrowed, and then he rolled his eyes and entered the kitchen.

Outside, Nie Qiuran sat on a chair with a teacup in his hand and looked at Qin Huai. Qin Huai on the other side didn't notice his eyes, and smiled to himself: "But my siblings are young, so wearing this thing is also cute. I will also give it to my sister later. Buy some..." Still excitedly thinking about what he wanted to buy back home, Nie Qiuran looked at him and smiled calmly: "I didn't expect Brother Qin to pay attention to his wife's wearing clothes on weekdays." Something is wrong." He spoke slowly, although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was no expression in his eyes at all, Qin Huai only realized something was wrong at this moment, he hurriedly shook his head, and then couldn't stop shaking Shaking his head: "No, I just saw it by accident."

The more he talked, the more he saw that Nie Qiuran's expression was a bit unsightly, so he changed the subject quickly and said: "I haven't congratulated my brother on this election, my father has heard about his ability, and now My father is short of an aide, although he is not of high rank, but it will not be a problem for any county magistrate in the future." When he said this, his expression was not as joking as before, and Nie Qiuran could see that he was Looking back, I'm afraid this is what I asked about. If Master Nie was still here at this time, I'm afraid he would happily agree.

Mrs. Nie has never been a county magistrate in his life. I am afraid that even if he wants to seek a county magistrate, he will not have his share. Unfortunately, Nie Qiuran's eyes are far more than just a county magistrate. There was a faint smile, Qin Huai was stunned by that appearance and expression, and he couldn't help but feel an instinctive desire to bow his head in front of him. While thinking, he hurriedly took aside Cui Wei's cup of tea for him. He drank the tea with his head down, avoiding Nie Qiuran's eyes, but he said on the other side:

"I'm going to end up in Chunxi three years later, and I'm going to stay at home with my wife for the past two years." After Nie Qiuran said this, Qin Huai was stunned for a moment, ignoring the fear in his heart, he quickly raised his head, Somewhat shocked, he said: "My dear brother, you want to give it a try? But now, my dear brother, I am only successful in the examination. I am afraid that three years is a little short, so it is better to wait a few more years. Could it be that my dear brother has already grasped it this time?" He only heard Nie Qiuran said earlier that he wanted to enter the arena for a try, but he didn't hear what Nie Qiuran said later that he wanted to accompany Cui Wei. Nie Qiuran smiled and didn't answer, but the smile on his face conveyed what he meant. showed up.

Qin Huai was extremely shocked in his heart, and his expression became more serious. After talking with Nie Qiuran for a long time, his expression was not as smiling as when he talked with Nie Qiuran before, but more unconsciously. Seriously, it took Cui Wei a long time to finish what he wanted, and when the suit was packed and ready to send Qin Huai out, Nie Qiuran stood up in person, and Qin Huai showed a look of surprise on his face, who It is expected that Nie Qiuran sent him to the door, and then whispered: "When my wife is here, don't come here to buy things by yourself, let someone come and get them." One sentence made Qin Huai's eyes twitch, and Nie Qiuran Then he waved his hand at him, turned around and went in by himself.

Cui Wei didn't hear what the two said, but saw that Qin Huai's expression was not very good when he left, so she looked at Nie Qiuran curiously and said, "Brother Nie, are you two arguing?"

Nie Qiuran shook his head. Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Cui Wei was just curious, so she naturally stopped asking.Before he got close to the kitchen, there was another woman outside, wearing a light blue satin dress, combing a bun, but wearing a set of red gold hair, leading two little maids to come in.This old woman looks very imposing, just like the wife of some family, but Cui Wei has opened the shop for a few days, and she recognized this old woman at a glance. She is a capable woman in charge in front of Mrs. In the business of taking care of Cui Wei, the Prefect Zhao's family also contributed a lot. The woman ordered a lot of things as soon as she came in. I am afraid that they will be used to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year. When she buys them, there are some left over. The candies were cleaned up in an instant.

Originally, I wanted to wait a few more days before going back. Under such circumstances, Cui Wei naturally did not plan to stay any longer. I have sold a lot of money recently, and I have already earned back the money for buying the house in the past few days. Mostly.Toffee and cakes are the most popular of these things, followed by jam. The ten jars of jam that have been brought in have been divided into dozens of small jars in the past few days, and half of them have been sold. Those who went there only took two or three altars.

With money in hand, Cui Wei was going to buy some more things in the city and went back. After the afternoon, a few people packed up and closed the door early, went out for a long time, bought a lot of things, and took up most of the carriage. , Early the next morning, several people checked out of the room and set foot on the way home.

At this time, Cui Wei’s house has already finished the sheepfold and cowshed to be built. Half of the wages have been paid before, and the villagers are still waiting for her to come back to pay the rest. The sheepfold is not small, and it is far away. As soon as I entered the village entrance, I could already vaguely see some shadows.I'm afraid this thing is the tallest building in Xiaowan Village. When Cui Wei and the others came back, it was already dark, every house had closed their doors, and they could vaguely see dots of lights, and the mountains in the distance were in the dark. Like huge dormant beasts, there were occasional barking of dogs, but it seemed that the night in the village was cooler.

At this moment, it was still drizzling, which made the road on the ground look a little muddy, and every step the horse's hooves took brought up a string of splashed mud spots.Sitting outside driving a car, the wind blew on people like knives. Nie Qiuran was wrapped in a thick cloak, hiding his head and face inside, but his exposed hands were still numb from the cold.Seeing that they had entered the village, several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Cui Jingping was sitting in the carriage. At first, he was envious of people who could ride in a carriage, but who would have thought that he would feel Cui Wei's discomfort after sitting all the way? Sitting in the carriage all day, he almost collapsed.

When the carriage passed by the door of Cui's house, Cui Wei carefully twisted the hem of her skirt and landed on the ground.There were still puddles on the ground. Although she had carefully avoided it, she still felt that the soles of her shoes had quickly absorbed a lot of water, and the soles of her feet became cold and slightly heavy.Cui Wei resisted the urge to shake off her shoes, and knocked on the door.
