The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 118 Passing Three Levels (5)
"Just now when the master was talking to his wife, Jin'er was standing not far away, I guess she could hear a few words, miss, why don't you ask Jin'er to ask?" Ban Xia suggested.

"No, I'll ask myself when I have dinner in the afternoon." Shen Xuan thought that it must be nothing serious, so she rejected this method.

At noon, everyone eats vegetable cakes and is full, so there is no need to cook lunch.Shen Xuan returned to the courtyard, entered the study, and wrote down the recipes of making pancakes and vegetable pancakes on paper.Put it in an envelope, give it to Ding Xiang, and let her go to the snack bar in the town to hand it to the shopkeeper Ah Yi tomorrow, and teach the people in the store by the way.In order to make the pancakes popular, Shen Xuan also plagiarized Pu Songling's "Fu on Pancakes": "Round like a full moon, as big as a copper gong, as thin as the paper of Shanxi River, and as colorful as the feathers of a yellow crane, this pancake is also custom-made."

A month later, a food called "vegetable pancake" appeared in [-] snack bars in the whole dynasty. Because it was delicious and cheap, and it was written with a poem, it was recognized by poor students, and even those literati came to try it. , When I arrived at Shen's Snack Bar, I found that the food in this small shop was delicious, hot and sour cabbage.Sweet and sour garlic is a delicious side dish, teppanyaki.Fried chicken fillet is a new flavor.In short, after their promotion, these foods are better than eating dragon meat, and the business of snack bars is booming.The income has been raised again, which is something Shen Xuan has not thought of now.After Shen Xuan knew about this, she could only lament the celebrity effect of this literati.In addition to the comparison effect, he also specially ordered the shopkeeper Qingyun to inform that everyone in the store will be paid twice as much wages that month, and the shop assistants in Xide wish to have such people come to the store every day.

Now Shen Xuan is having dinner with her family, and after asking Shen Xuan during the dinner, she found out what Shen's father was busy with during the day, and it turned out that he was busy discussing about repairing the ancestral hall.After these years of wind and sun and the few heavy rains in summer, the dilapidated ancestral hall in this village began to crumble.Seeing that winter is approaching, without repairs, this ancestral hall will probably disappear in the howling north wind in winter.

After sending Shen Shuoxing back to the room to practice calligraphy, the family of three sat and chatted together.

"Hearing what you said, this ancestral hall should really be repaired." Zhou expressed his opinion.

"Is there anyone in the village who disagrees?" Shen Xuan asked Father Shen, if things were easy to handle, Father Shen wouldn't be frowning by now.

As soon as Shen Xuan's words fell, Zhou's instinctively looked at Shen's father. Seeing Shen's bitter face, he knew that things were not going well. No wonder he didn't make a sound after eating just now. He thought he was tired from a busy day.It turned out to be annoying.

"Why don't you agree? Repairing the ancestral hall is a good thing!" Zhou couldn't think of the reason for those people's rejection.

"It's not because Brother Qiu and the children are making trouble." Seeing Zhou's eyes that insisted on hearing an explanation, Father Shen replied.

"What does building the ancestral hall here have to do with Brother Qiu and the others?" Mrs. Zhou was stunned, how could such irrelevant matters be involved.

"Isn't this the only four children in our family who can study well in the village? People in the village will have an opinion." Father Shen said.

"My brothers are good at reading, what's hindering them?" Shen Xuan couldn't figure it out.

"That's right, what does this matter to the children?" Zhou's voice was a little loud.A little anxious.Although I don't know why the villagers insist on linking the building of the ancestral hall with Brother Qiu's study, but this does not hinder her attitude of being strong as a mother.Whoever puts this matter on should be in a hurry.

"They said that the ancestors only bless our Shen family. Seeing that our family is getting better and better. Brother Qiu's studies are also getting better, but their children can't study well. They don't earn as much from farming as our family. I have an idea." At the end of Father Shen's words, his voice turned into helplessness, and the man's head didn't know what to think.

"Is it because the people in this village don't agree to build the ancestral hall?" After listening to Father Shen's words, Mrs. Zhou was also powerless, deeply aware of the difference between the Shen family and others.

"It's not that we don't agree to build the ancestral hall, everyone agrees to build the ancestral hall, but the money must come from our Shen family." Father Shen got angry when he mentioned this, and now he still thinks about the attitude of those people when they said this.

Father Shen seldom gets angry or angry, his personality is very similar to that of the old scalper, that kind of diligent and conscientious.Hard work.down to earth.An upright and stubborn person, but now Father Shen, who has been a good man for thousands of years, is also angry.

Shen Xuan finally understood when she heard it, all the troubles were caused by money.

"Then let's go out. It won't take much anyway. If father and elder brother don't go out, our family can do it by ourselves." When Zhou heard that it was money, he immediately let go. The Shen family is not short of money now. I saved a lot every year.

"Mother, how can our family pay the money for this matter? The ancestors of all the families in the village are enshrined there, why should we only let our family pay the money?" Shen Xuan immediately objected when she heard Zhou's words, although the amount of money was small, But this cannot be compromised.

"Father also means the same thing. The money cannot come from our Shen family." Shen's father looked at Shen Xuan with surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that Shen Xuan's thoughts would be the same as Grandpa Shen's.Father Shen's initial thought was the same as Zhou's, but after Uncle Shen's analysis, he realized that the money really couldn't come from the Shen family, it had to come from the whole village.

"Then what should we do? There must be a lot of people who want money from our family." Mrs. Zhou said affirmatively, and the villagers were well aware of the envy and jealousy of Shen's family towards her.

"Hey! Dad started asking the clan elders about this matter, and everyone is now frozen. Today, my eldest brother and I ran around the village for a day, but there were more than 20 people who disagreed. When I came back just now, I saw Dad and I'm going to the clan's hometown." Father Shen said weakly.

"It's easy to handle." Shen Xuan said after thinking about it.

"What should I do?" Mrs. Zhou asked quickly, not dissatisfied with Shen Xuan's mention of the ancestral hall.Anyway, these build houses.recruitment.In the Shen family, Shen Xuan has always made suggestions on major matters such as buying land, even if the important matter of repairing the ancestral hall is added now, there is nothing wrong with it.These things were things that women should not have done in ancient times, but in the Shen family, these rules could not restrain Shen Xuan at all. Who would make the Shen family willing to spoil Shen Xuan and Shen Xuan is smart enough!
"Father, tell grandpa tomorrow and let him tell the people in the village that our family will contribute a large amount of money needed to build the ancestral hall. They will contribute a small amount, but every household must contribute money, regardless of how much it is." Shen Xuan received Father Shen's inquiry hastily opened his mouth.

"Maybe the people in the village still don't agree?" Father Shen muttered, he had seen the strong opposition from them today.

"I don't agree, it's easier to handle." Shen Xuan continued after hearing Father Shen's voice, "Then let grandpa tell them, whoever's family does not pay money, the family will move their ancestral tablet home to worship."

"Isn't that okay? The ancestral tablet has always been enshrined in the ancestral hall, and it is considered disrespectful to move the ancestral tablet without reason. It will anger the ancestors and disturb the souls of the ancestors. There will be punishment." Father Shen was shocked when he heard Shen Xuan's words The sweat is almost coming out.
