Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 246 Mr. Zhao

Mu Ai took a few girls and turned back to the backyard. Mu San hurriedly smiled and said to everyone, "Fellow folks, I really made everyone laugh today. Recently, we have made two new types of refreshing snacks in our shop, which are extremely delicious. , when you have free time, welcome to taste it."

A few words resolved the embarrassing scene that had been quiet for a while, and he also made a publicity for his shop. Some people in the crowd usually came to buy dim sum, praised him for doing business, and at the same time, he really came in and bought a few boxes of cold cakes to go back.As a result, today's matter spread into the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants along with many word of mouth.Everyone in Huawang City added another comment to the Mistress of the Muxian Mansion besides benevolence, to protect her shortcomings.Of course, this also made the servants of various mansions envy and yearn for that mansion. After all, it is not easy for a slave to have such a master who protects them.

After Mu San took care of the things ahead, he told Mu Shi and Mu Shishi to guard the shop, then hurriedly turned around and went back to the backyard. After walking around twice, he saw Ouyang Yi under the big tree in the middle of the yard, so he smiled and stepped forward to cup his hands Bowing, he said, "Thank you, Master Ouyang."

Ouyang glanced at him lightly and said, "I didn't do anything."

Mu San stretched out his hand to scratch the back of his head, showing a rare look of distress, he stretched his head to look at the west wing, and then at Ouyang, but he didn't know how to speak.

Ouyang squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the blue sky above his head through the gaps in the leaves, and after a long while, he finally said, "At Haishi in the evening, wait for me at the back door."

Hearing this, Mu San was so happy that he almost jumped up, thanked him repeatedly, and then trotted back to the front, couldn't help laughing inwardly, hehe, sure enough, Master Ouyang is also, I can't see my wife is angry, what can I do tonight, Let's teach that shameless uncle Qiufen a lesson, well, don't be too cruel, otherwise in the future, if Qiufen complains...

At noon on the second day, rumors circulated throughout Huawang City that the unscrupulous second uncle had finally received his retribution yesterday, and everyone in the family had their heads shaved by ghosts last night. Buxiang died, and their family screamed in the morning, causing the neighbors to inquire, and then it spread, and everyone commented, this person must not be ungrateful, you see, God has sent down punishment .

Of course Mu Ai didn’t know about this, the girls took food as the sky, and they sorted out the account books of the common people’s hospital, thinking that it’s been half a month since they came to the city, and the watermelon at home didn’t know what it looked like, so I was a little worried, so I Tempted to go back to the village.

At noon Dayu Taoer brought his younger siblings back for dinner, Mu Ai invited them to have a small meeting, and then called everyone together, announcing the appointment of Mu Si as the shopkeeper of Qiweiju. The mansion will send someone to learn from her, and she will go back when she is proficient. As for the servant, Qingfeng will be left behind, and Mingyue will return to the village to take charge of the bee farm.

When Mu Wu heard that he was not selected as the shopkeeper again this time, although he didn't show it on his face, he was really disappointed in his heart.After all, his abilities are not bad, and his popularity is not bad, but first, food is the sky, then the medical clinic, and now Qiweiju, Mu Miki Si, and even Mu Liu who is behind him have all become shopkeepers. As a boy, he can only deal with trivial matters every day. He has something on his mind, so his movements are a little slow, and he almost bumped into the door when he went out.

Chunfen stood behind his wife and saw it, a flash of pity flashed in his eyes, but he still patiently waited for the master to finish the meal, and then made excuses to go out, unexpectedly, Mu Ai called her to stop, and said with a smile, "Chunfen , I saw a passage in the book yesterday, it’s very interesting, please help me explain it.” After finishing speaking, as if he didn’t see the eagerness of the vernal equinox, he read it out gently, “Heaven will send a great mission to you, One must first torment one's will, exhaust one's muscles and bones, starve one's body, deplete one's body, disturb one's actions, arouse one's mind and forbearance, and strengthen one's incapacity."

The spring equinox suppressed the restlessness in my heart, thought carefully, and replied, "Ma'am, these few words mean that when God is about to place a heavy responsibility on a person, he must first make his heart suffer and his muscles and bones suffer." Tiredness makes him suffer from hunger, so that his skin is thin, makes him suffer from poverty, makes his things upside down, and always unsatisfactory. talent."

Mu Ai smiled and nodded, "Well, the explanation is good, you go, and explain the truth to those who need it."

Chun Equinox subconsciously responded, and it was only after she went out that she realized that Madam asked her what she meant by these words.Hurriedly rushing to the small kitchen, Xiao An pointed to the garden with a smile, she blushed and found the silent Mu Wu behind a laurel tree.

She smiled lightly, straightened her complexion, stepped forward and sat next to him gently, sighed, and seemed to comfort her, "Fifth brother, don't be sad, there will be opportunities in the future."

Mu Wu looked up at her, pulled himself together, and said, "I know, I will work harder in the future. It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable."

Chun Equinox finally couldn't hold back anymore, and burst out laughing, Mu Wu was taken aback by the smile, although he also liked to see her smiling, but there was nothing worth laughing about in this scene right now.

Chunfen was worried that there would be no one waiting for his wife, so he didn't talk too much. He looked around at the five people, and then whispered to Mu Wu what his wife said just now. I can't help but be happy too...

Although Dayu and Tao'er were very interested in managing Qiweiju, they also knew that the schoolwork could not be delayed for a long time, so the two of them brought Mu Si and Qingfeng together, hurriedly and slowly, and finally got the wooden house in the store. The shelves and so on are properly placed, spiced melon seeds, pork jerky, cute biscuits, sweet and attractive toffee, hard candies of various flavors, and even very few and extremely expensive soft candies are on display.

On the first day it was put on the shelves, the volume of the goods was not sold much, and basically most of them were used as gifts to the servants and maids sent by various prefectures to buy ice cream. However, on the second day, there was a frenzied crowd. Within an hour, it was sold out.Le's two children couldn't see each other, but Ke Xin was even more arrogant and asked her sister Chun Equinox and Xiao An to help prepare, and made four or five times the amount before she breathed a sigh of relief.

The two children learned some modern "hunger sales" business methods from Musan. The excellent ones, the fudge made with jam, are only sold in boxes with other candies, not sold separately. Even if it was sold by the catty, it would only sell ten boxes a day.The remaining hard candies and toffees are often out of stock, which makes the masters and wives of all the houses in Kao City always get angry because the servants did not buy back the candies. Of course, in their hearts, the status of strange taste It has also been promoted extremely high. This is not something that can be bought with silver, it is really expensive!
Mu Ai went to the medical center again, because Mu Liu sent Shen Wang to report that there was a Chunhetang in the city, and sent a steward to inquire about it, and wanted to buy a century-old ginseng.It is said that the one in their hall was used up when he was treating a wealthy businessman a few days ago, and there was no treasure in the hall.Mu Ai didn't want to care about whether Chunhetang sincerely wanted to buy medicinal materials or was sent by many colleagues to find out the details. In short, it was good to earn money. Anyway, there are good medicinal materials in the space medicine garden, and it is easy to find a century-old ginseng.

She picked out one that was about 40 years old, and asked Mr. Wang to handle it carefully, and then asked Mu Liu to take full responsibility for the transaction. After all, she didn't know the market price of the medicinal materials, so she was very clever and clumsy.

I looked through the account book carefully, and there are more than 100 people who are willing to go out to work to pay for the medicine. Thinking about the mountain road at home that bumped her half to death every time, I decided to discuss it with the clan elders after going back. Let's talk about road repairs.

After the adults and children have finished taking care of the things at hand, it is already two days later. After packing up the daily necessities, and bringing a cart of cloth, tea and even wine from the Wei Mansion and Xiao Mansion, the group returned to Li Family Village. .

The master did not come back, and everyone in the mansion felt quiet and boring. Now, the mistress and the young masters have returned, Dabai and Erbai, two majestic tiger kings, took the lead and rushed towards the second gate, and the children laughed and followed. up.

The maids and servants who greeted the master were very happy. Wen Bo was accompanying the newly hired village boy, Mr. Zhao, a man in his fifties, knowledgeable and gentle, drinking tea under the locust tree outside the gate. .It's strange to say that last time because of that Jia scholar, there was no teacher in the village school. Mu Ai asked Xiao Heng to find this old Mr. Zhao in the city. Let's not talk about his knowledge, just look at the old man's eyes You know, he's a very upright person.Sure enough, within a few days of teaching, the old man had subdued more than a dozen urchins. He was very good at teaching and learning calligraphy, which made the villagers very satisfied and respected him very much.

Speaking of which, the old man came to the village because of Mu Ai's request, so Mu Ai treated him like half of his own family, and usually sent some snacks and other food over. They came and went with nothing to do, but I didn't expect that an experienced old scholar and an old farmer would become good friends, and they would often gossip together during their lunch break.This also made the villagers and everyone in Muai's mansion respect this old man who has no lofty attitude even more.

When Mu Ai got out of the car, she saw Mr. Zhao stroking his beard and nodding slightly to her. Thinking of Mr. Zhou who just visited a few days ago, he did the same thing. Every old man has such a gray beard.

Smiling secretly in his heart, but saluted with a very gentle and dignified face, Mr. Zhao didn't hold back, and returned a half salute, watched her enter the courtyard gate, and then sat down with Wen Bo again.

In less than half a quarter, Chun Equinox brought out two plates of snacks and two plates of cold cakes, put them lightly on the small table between the two of them, and said with a smile, "Old Mr. Zhao, Uncle Wen, this is what Madam ordered The food brought to your elders is all made by my wife recently, and it tastes very good. You two should try it."
