Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 94

The north wind is howling, everything is depressed, and finally the first snow of winter is falling profusely.

The fur fur made of fox fur was tightly wrapped around his body. After counting the days, Yan Su had been in Chang'an for five days, and he should be back almost today.Yang Xiaoran, who was standing at the mouth of Zhuangzi, stretched out his hand, and a snowflake fell on the palm of his hand, bringing a trace of coldness, "It's snowing again..."

The voice was slow and deep, and the group of guards and servants standing behind her couldn't see the mood of their master at the moment, so they all held their breath and did not dare to disturb her.Only Feng Baozhu was bouncing around and playing with Xuehuaer not far away.A pink kapok jacket is particularly conspicuous in this solemn world.

With her movement, and the unique crisp laughter of children from time to time, it adds a bit of gorgeous color to the bleak winter.

"Big girl, big girl, this snowflake is really big! Baozhu just saw it, it's really, really! Every snowflake is six corners, big girl, you are amazing!"

Baozhu ran up to Yang Xiaoran bouncingly, stretched out her little hand that was red with cold, and showed Yang Xiaoran the snowflakes.

Yang Xiaoran pursed his lips and smiled, patted her head, and said, "Pi Hou, you're not afraid of freezing."

Baozhu giggled, shook her head again and again, pointed to her clothes and said: "It's not cold, not cold at all. The girl is so strong, this kapok will be sewed with a few threads and it will be compliant, and a few more layers will make it thicker." Yes, it's not cold at all."

After a pause, she continued: "Bao Zhu has never worn such a beautiful dress, so she is not afraid of the cold at all this year."

A child's unintentional words made the people present couldn't help but feel sad.

Everyone in the mansion knew about Baozhu's background.But such a poor child is still so lively, and his innocent heart has not been polluted by the filth of the secular world at all.After a few months of self-cultivation in the mansion, she has become beautiful, and her lively and well-behaved personality is very popular. For her, no matter whether it is for the sake of a big girl or not, everyone always prefers her.

Yang Xiaoran sighed slightly.Just like Baozhu, there are not many children like Qiaoer in Datang.The rule of Zhenguan has left a resounding reputation in the history books. It is said to be a prosperous age, but in fact it can barely fill the stomach. Compared with the Song Dynasty, it is still far behind.

In the Tang Dynasty, no matter the per capita GDP, the use of farming, or the population did not exceed that of the Song Dynasty.The population at its peak was only more than 5000 million people, which was not even as good as the end of the Southern Song Dynasty.In terms of social charity, it cannot be compared with that of the Song Dynasty. The entire sense of charity has not yet fully sprouted, and there are not many places that can help the lonely, old and widowed. In this early Tang Dynasty, it was even blank.

Like Baozhu, there are not a few orphans whose father died on the battlefield and whose mother died of illness due to the pressure of life.Once the generals are accomplished, the so-called illustrious military exploits that shine in the annals of history are piled up with one life after another, but the country has not done anything to them.That pitifully small pension may not be able to be delivered to me.

There were very few people who dared to be greedy for ink like this in the early Tang Dynasty, but because the whole society was under the clan system, orphans and widows were easily bullied.The Tang Dynasty did not encourage widowhood, so it was normal for widows to remarry.In this way, the people in the clan have an excuse to take away all relevant property, including pensions, and it is conceivable how the remaining orphans and widows will live.

So Baozhu, who had lost her mother, couldn't stand her mother's hunger, and being bullied by her tribe, so she ran out, preferring to be a beggar and not go back to that family again.

This is a true portrayal of the early years of the Tang Dynasty.

But fortunately, Baozhu didn't seem to be affected much. After entering the mansion for a while, his temper became more and more eccentric.She is also smart and can learn everything quickly, which makes Yang Xiaoran like it very much.After all, for a person whose actual mental age is Obasan, she looks at the orb like she looks at her own child.The child is smart, she naturally likes it.

As for Qiaoer, although she is a little more cheerful, she is 12 years old after all.Compared with Baozhu, who was bouncing around all day long, her temper was much calmer.Not particularly smart, but a very down-to-earth person.She cherishes the opportunity to learn literacy from the older girl, works very hard, and believes that she will become Yang Xiaoran's best assistant in the near future.

"I'm coming……"

In the wind and snow, the sound of horseshoes came, and a black dot slowly appeared in sight, gradually approaching, it was Yan Su who had returned.In addition to the guards who followed, many people followed, and there were also many large vehicles.

Yang Xiaoran pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Open the gate of Zhuangzi, and welcome General Yan!"

"Yes, big girl!"

Soon, when the team came to the front, Yan Su got off his horse, walked a few steps and cupped his fists and said, "Miss, your subordinate is back!"

Yang Xiaoran stepped forward to give him a hand and said, "I'm sorry, General Yan, take care of yourself."

After speaking, he looked towards the people behind Yan Su.Seeing Yang Xiaoran looking over, about five or six years old, about 20 years old, came forward to say hello: Cousin, (cousin) you are polite. "

Yang Xiaoran nodded, bowed and said, "I've seen a few brothers."

There are two children of the Cheng family and three children of the Pei family. They are not the best in the clan, but they are definitely loyal and reliable.According to seniority, Yang Xiaoran wanted to address him as elder brother.

He smiled and said: "Little sister is guilty, I have to trouble my brothers and me to suffer here."

After a pause, he continued: "Fortunately, although this place is not as prosperous as Chang'an, it is also quiet and interesting. The brothers' residences have already been cleaned up. Come, let's go into the mansion with my younger sister to talk."

Cheng Chusi looked around, and said with a chuckle, "Sanniang's place is indeed quiet and elegant. I'm used to staying in a small place, but suddenly I came to the capital and I'm not used to the prosperity of the capital. It's a good thing to be able to come to Sanniang's place." Pile, not only avoid the tedious human affairs in the capital, but also don’t have to go back to a small place to endure hardships, kill two birds with one stone, wonderful, wonderful!”

"Haha, brother Si is really good at joking. There are so many places in this village that need to be managed, how can we talk about enjoying happiness? In the future, I will have to trouble a few brothers to worry about it."

In Yang Xiaoran's generation, there were two older cousins ​​in the clan, so Cheng Chusi called her Sanniang.

"I think Brother Chu Si is quite right..."

It was Yang Xiaoran's eldest cousin who spoke, and he was already out of five clothes.It's just that when Wang Shiren wiped out the three families of the Pei family, only the children who were far away in the south of the Yangtze River or outside the fifth service of Liaodong were spared.Fortunately, Mrs. Pei and Uncle Cheap saved a little blood for the Pei family. The main family came from all over the place when they called, and now they are united under Mr. Pei and Uncle Cheap, ready to revive the family.

"It's very quiet here, with a bit of Jiangnan scenery."

"puff!"

Yang Xiaoran laughed softly, and said: "Big cousin, you really know how to joke, Jiangnan must be much more beautiful than here. Look at me, there is nothing here. Hey, don't mention it. Let's go, it's windy outside, The elder brothers should quickly follow the younger sister into the house to have a cup of tea to warm up."

"It's better to obey than to be respectful. My sister is in charge of everything."

As soon as he entered the county lord's mansion, Yan Su leaned over and reported in a low voice: "Miss, the general asked me to send you a message, asking you to send more people to make another batch of soap."

"The sales are so good? That's 4000 yuan!"

Yan Su said happily: "Mr. Xin sent someone to demonstrate the use of soap in the shop after seeing it. Miss, you didn't see that scene, the store was almost smashed. Some big families buy it twice. 30 yuan, thanks to the foresight of the eldest girl, if the business is hot, the purchase will be limited, and a family can buy up to two yuan. This is good, there is a martial arts performance every day in front of our shop, and the butlers of each family beat their heads and blood, and His Majesty was alarmed gone."

"That won't be any trouble, will it?"

Yang Xiaoran frowned.

"On the opening day, Zhang Duo, Eunuch Zhang, who was dressed as His Royal Highness, came to congratulate him, and he was doing work for the one above. They only dared to fight at the door, and did not dare to enter the store to make trouble."

"Where's the Cui family? Is there any movement?"

Yang Xiaoran put his hands on the copper stove in his bosom. It was a round copper stove ball with exquisite workmanship. A thin layer of kapok was used as the core on it, and it was covered with fine silk. It was filled with charcoal and left a Small mouth for charcoal burning.Putting a handful in your arms in winter can not only warm your chest but also cover your hands. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It is the best warm-up artifact in winter.

"No suspicious person came to provoke trouble."

"Oh?"

The corners of Yang Xiaoran's mouth turned up slightly, and a trace of sarcasm flashed across, "Old man Cui's peace of mind makes me a little uneasy."

"Never mind him! Zhiniang thief, if I'm going to be on the battlefield, I'll kill this bastard with a single knife!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yan Su immediately realized that his words were rude, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "This subordinate made a slip of the tongue..."

"Forget it..."

Yang Xiaoran raised his hand, and said: "General Yan has been in the barracks for a long time, so this spoken word can't be changed for a while. I think it's pretty good, I'm not a wealthy person, and even a few slang words in the market won't scare me."

"Miss, if you are not refined, who is refined? The first batch of soap has been on the market for five days, and more than half of it has been sold. By the time it came down, it had sold 2300 yuan. The gentleman said that he must work harder."

"Not urgent……"

Yang Xiaoran pursed his lips into a smile, stepped into the main hall, stopped, tilted his head slightly, and said: "There is a business method called hunger marketing. In short, it is to make those who want to buy it unable to buy it. Now, their desire is even more urgent. When we open the big sale, it will not be a matter of 20 yuan..."

Yan Su scratched his head, he didn't quite understand what his little master said, but he felt that the words were full of mystery, and he didn't know it was serious, but his eldest daughter was very powerful.

"It's still a girl who is smart!"

Looking at Yan Su's grinning appearance, Yang Xiaoran shook his head lightly. This sycophant obviously didn't understand, and he still said that he was smart, so what's his integrity? !
However, the sales volume of soap was so good after only a few days on the market, it was a bit beyond her expectation. According to Yan Su, there are quite a few Hu merchants who have bought a lot, and even intend to place an order. It is really a good one. Let's start.

It's time to send more people to make more soap.It takes time for soap to saponify, and there will be more things to do when the spring begins. Right now, people like this have to plan carefully and save more perfume, so that they can become a hit in the spring and give their grandson an explanation.If there is no result, it is estimated that the tigress may really kill him.

That poor couple with D silk now even wants to do the work of human traffickers!
