Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 279
The Wu family father and son left after dinner, and Tie Shi smiled at Ning Wan, "I heard that the second master Wu had won business with the Ning family when he was in Mayi Town? He was defeated by you again?"

Ning Wan stepped forward to take off the big clothes for him, and said flatly: "It's not like a total defeat, his family has a lot of capital, and he doesn't care about losing a small amount of money. Our family is a small business, and we can only make money but not lose money."

"It's okay to listen to your tone," Tie Shi had already guessed in his heart. The daughter-in-law looked easy to talk to, but if anyone really messed with her, he would only regret it.Because he likes Wan'er like this the most, he took advantage of her opportunity to serve him, and said: "But in fact, Second Master Wu went back to Liaodong to do many kinds of business, but he didn't touch the mountain goods, because I'm afraid of you!"

"That's why he said that on purpose to please you." Ning Wan had already figured out why the Wu family was repairing the family tree at this time, and why the second master Wu would accompany his father over here. "He wanted to make charcoal." business?"

"So don't look at Erye Wu who is doing well in Anpingwei, but he still has nothing to hide in front of you!"

Ning Wan took off Tie Shi's coat, and saw that there were a few spots of sweat stains on the inner coat, so she untied all of them, turned around and took a cloth towel and wrung it with hot water, "It's hot, you sit obediently, I'll help you wash your back. Wipe."

"I just had a drink, so I won't be honest." Lu Tieshi snatched the handkerchief and threw it into the sink, "I'll wipe it for you later." The summer afternoon was quiet and long, and the two of them Silently entangled in one place, Tie Shi got up and wiped his wife's sweat for a while, and wiped off himself, and each put on a piece of homely clothes and fell asleep hugging each other.

In the evening, Sophora japonica's laughter sounded like silver bells, and the whole old house immediately became lively, and gradually there were various small voices. The couple in the east room also woke up, feeling comfortable and loving each other. With a smile, he talked about the charcoal again.

"The matter of the Wu family's family history is true, but Wu Erye did take this opportunity to come to the door," Tie Shi rarely showed a lazy look, his big hand gently caressed his daughter-in-law's back, his voice was a little hoarse, " Previously, when Lubaihu bought grain for the mountain people who quarried coal, they actually bought it from the Wu family, so Wu Erye knew the news. He is a knowledgeable person, and he believed that the business of coal will definitely be good, so he came to the door , and willing to show sincerity.”

Ning Wan was very comfortable being caressed by him, she squinted her eyes and asked lazily: "What is his sincerity?"

"All the mining, transportation, and sales of coal are covered by him. All my military rations, salaries, and military supplies are also provided by him. They are all the best in the imperial military department. Then he will give you [-]% of the profit every year to build a private house."

Ning Wan opened her eyes wide, "Wu Er must have hooked up with someone from the Ministry of War in the capital!" Otherwise, how dare he promise all the military supplies in a big way?Thinking about it carefully, the business he does is indeed related to military supplies.

Tie Shi exerted some strength with his hands, as if trying to comfort his wife, "He also told me bluntly that he can get a hand in Liaodong's military supplies, and even Commander Zhou dared not give him face."

"You seem to want to promise Second Master Wu?"

Tie Shi nodded, "He is indeed a man with means, and he can do a good job in business, so I don't need to worry about it."

That's right, the reasoning is this, but Ning Wan still disagrees, "Even though I know he doesn't dare play tricks in front of you, I still don't like him—because he is an unscrupulous person!"

Lu Tieshi laughed, "Then I will have someone return him tomorrow."

Ning Wan was a little surprised, "Just because of my words?"

"Yes, since the daughter-in-law doesn't like it, forget it, there are many businessmen, we just need to find another one." Lu Tieshi said casually, moving his hands down again, "There is still a while before dinner. "

"No!" Ning Wan pushed him away forcefully, "I'm going to the room to accompany my mother-in-law and Huai Hua'er."

"Come with me tonight."

Ning Wan didn't have enough strength, she couldn't get up for a while, she simply softened, "Good Tishi, I'll come back early to accompany you tonight." After a few words of coaxing, she got up, took the clothes and the two changed into the upper room , smiled to her mother-in-law: "I just woke up after falling asleep."

The mother-in-law was breaking the Jiulianhuan with Huai Hua'er, so she smiled and said, "Hua Hua'er is just waking up." As she spoke, she set up a meal, and after eating, she chatted and played cards for a while.

Now that Tie Shi's card skills have improved greatly, he saw that his wife was giving water to his mother, so he also gave water to his wife.But the daughter-in-law is not a mother, her mind is bright, she took the card and smiled and gave him a sideways look, but she looked at him with a burning heart, and pretended to look at the sky, "It's time to sleep."

The days of summer are long, and it is not so dark outside yet.The mother-in-law felt sorry for her son, so she quickly threw down the cards and said, "I've been busy for the past few days, or I haven't had a good rest. I must be tired. Go back to the house."

Ning Wan couldn't break the iron-stone platform, so she stood up and responded, and said to Huai Hua'er: "I've been in the upper room all day and pestered grandma, so I should go back to sleep." As she said that, she wanted to hold her little hand take her back.

Pianhuai Hua'er was having fun on the ground, but she refused to sleep when she heard it, she took off her little shoes, ran onto the kang and got into grandma's arms, but she turned her head and said to her mother, "No!" She was clever, She knew that grandma had always protected her.

The mother-in-law said: "I slept a lot at noon today, and I'm not sleepy now. Let her play for a while, and sleep with me tonight." Then she asked Huai Hua'er, "Good granddaughter, okay?"

Sophora Hua'er was already very close to grandma, so she laughed when she heard that she didn't need to sleep, "Good! Good!"

"This child is obsessed with playing." How could Ning Wan let her mother-in-law bring acacia flowers, and quickly said to her daughter: "Don't make trouble with grandma, hurry back to the house with mother."

The mother-in-law really protected her granddaughter, "Hua Huaer is the most sensible and never makes trouble. Besides, she gets sleepy after playing for a while. I will feed her an egg custard and sleep until tomorrow morning. Then you will come over." gone."

Since Huaihua was born, Ning Wan has never been away from her for a night, and now she is not willing to part with it, "I'm afraid she will look for me at night."

Before the mother-in-law could say anything, Tie Shi pulled her away, "I live in the same yard, and Huai Hua'er is looking for you at night. Mother just needs to call out and we'll all pass by, so what are you worried about?" He said and pulled her away. go back.

Ning Wan was not used to not bringing her daughter home for the first time, but what Tie Shi said was right, she really had nothing to worry about if her mother-in-law brought Sophora japonica.When they returned to the room, the two of them hadn't been so reckless for a long time, so as promised just now, they would be very happy with Tie Shi, and of course she should be happy too.

But when she got up early the next morning, she sighed and said, "I thought the charcoal business was not difficult, but now I don't think there is any clue at all!"

Tie Shi is not worried, "If there is no suitable person, just ask father-in-law and mother-in-law to find a shop in Hutai County and hire a few people to sell charcoal. We can rest assured."

"My father and mother can't take on such big things, and now that we are familiar with the mountain goods business, we don't need to worry too much," Ning Wan reminded Tie Shi, "Besides, our family has earned a lot this year just from wicker baskets. "It turns out that Ning Wan had let Dejufeng harvest a lot of wicker baskets before going to Huju Mountain. When Hujushan started coal mining, the price of the wicker baskets doubled or tripled. Now Dejufeng's shop has been restocked There are a large number of them, and they can be sold at a good price when the charcoal business starts.

Moreover, the wicker basket was originally something that Dejufeng prepared daily, so it was done very smoothly.

"As for the charcoal business, let's leave it to capable people!" Ning Wan thought over and over again, "I plan to invite all the shopkeepers in Hutai County who are doing good business and good character to one place, and ask if there is anyone We plan to start a coal business. If they are interested, let them each offer a price, and we will pick one or a few of them."

"You have a good idea," Tie Shi felt novel after hearing this, "then take my post to invite everyone, at Wanji Steamed Bun Shop."

"Although the dishes at my aunt's house are delicious, they are all stewed in big pots, and the house is far away. Why should I treat guests at the Wangyuan Tower?"

"As long as the food is delicious, it's enough to have a room to sit and talk," Tie Shi said, "Let's just go to my aunt's house. After all, we are relatives of our own family, so we always want to cheer!"

Seeing Tie Shi cheering her natal family like this, Ning Wan said: "Then I will bring a few people there today, send posts, then go to the aunt's house to book a table of good food, and then ask about Sister Xi by the way." As expected, Fan changed into the clothes he was going out with, got into the carriage and went to Wanji Steamed Bun Shop.

Wanji's business is very good, there is an endless stream of people buying buns early in the morning.Seeing that the elder sister was selling steamed buns with the child on her back, Ning Wan picked up the little nephew and carried her into the yard, saying hello all the way, but went straight into the kitchen.

In the midst of steam, Sister Xi was kneading steamed buns, and because she couldn’t see the clear people, she said, “Sister, this pot of steamed buns will be ready in a while, and I’ll send them out when they’re out of the pot.”

Ning Wan knew that she regarded herself as the eldest sister, so she walked over and said with a smile: "The steamed buns outside are not sold out yet, don't worry."

Only now did Sister Xi see that it was Wan'er who came over, and she said, "It's hot and stuffy here, hurry up and sit in the room for a while, and I'll go over after I've been busy for a while."

Ning Wan saw that she was wearing a green cloth dress, her hair was wrapped in the same color cloth, and she was only wearing a white apron with no decorations.But such a simple dress, on the contrary, looks more beautiful than when wearing gold belt and silver in the past.Especially at this time, Sister Xi's face was blushing because of the heat, her skin was quite fresh and tender with moisture, and she was fresh and alive.

In terms of Sister Xi's appearance, she is actually no worse than Wan'er, the only thing missing is that her skin is a little darker, but perhaps because she cooks pasta in the house every day and steams it, Ning Wan feels that she is much paler than before.

What made Ning Wan even more happy was that she felt that Sister Xi's spirit had returned.That being the case, she was more confident in convincing her.

After Si time, the business in the morning slowed down. Sister Xi came in and sat down with Ning Wan, "If it's hot today, many people don't want to get angry, so more and more noodles are bought in the morning. I'm neglecting you." gone."

The eldest sister also took the little nephew to nurse, "It's not easy for you to come here once, but I asked you to help look after the child."

Ning Wan just laughed, "We're all a family, why are you still being polite to me?"

The aunt and uncle who were talking about going to buy vegetables and meat also came back, and they looked a little embarrassed when they saw Ning Wan, "I was going to talk to you in the past two days, but I didn't want you to come first instead."

Ning Wan had already guessed the reason, so she laughed first and said, "I'm here on business. Tie Shi intends to treat guests in Hutai County, and wants to book a table with Auntie. I'm here to discuss the menu with Auntie. The dishes have to be prepared first.”

The aunt clapped her hands and said, "How can you come to our small shop for your treats! We don't have anything to sell here, it's a joke!"

"Actually, I also wanted to go to the Wangyuan Building before, and Tieshi had to come," Ning Wan smiled, "But, I think again, there is the same benefit at Auntie's place - I will send some charcoal here today, and we will use it Charcoal cooking."
