Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 108
Xiaozhuzi entered the shop door, and hurried over to report to Lan Lingxue about the day's work. Knowing that she was worried, he reported everything to her in detail. Ling Xue became interested,
"You said they used glass cups at home?"

In Lan Lingxue's impression, colored glaze in ancient times should be the embryonic form of modern glass. It does not have the pure light transmittance of modern glass, but it is not too far behind.

"There are glass products now, why haven't I looked at them?"

Lan Lingxue said to herself,

"Miss, I heard that it was purchased in the capital. It is very expensive. It will break if you are not careful. It is more expensive than fine porcelain."

I knew that the eldest lady would be interested in this kind of novelty, so although the eldest lady told her not to listen to gossip, Xiao Zhuzi still secretly inquired about the origin of the glass cup and the glass bowl. It is Lan Lingxue's favorite,
"I have to think about it. If I want to open a shop in the county next year, should I use glass cups?"

When I think of modern times, glass products of various shapes set off the ice products crystal clear, and the outside of the cup will condense a room of thin water droplets because of the temperature of the ice. That kind of exquisite style, and The elegant atmosphere makes people itch just thinking about it.

Summer is very warm, but it will not stay forever. When autumn is approaching, Li Yongtai came back from the capital. He only hurried back to the shop to change his clothes, and then hurried to Lan's ice shop. I already knew it in the letter, my daughter now runs an ice cream shop that is not good enough,
"Guest officer, please line up to buy ice products, it will be soon, don't worry."

When he arrived at the shop, he rushed in, but was stopped by the clerk guarding the shop. Li Yongtai calmed down his emotions,

"I'm here to see your boss, is she there?"

owner?Isn't that the eldest lady, but if a man is looking for a young lady, should he report this matter, or should he not?Fortunately, the boy's mind is quite fast.

"Guard Li, this uncle is looking for his boss, and asked if our boss is here?"

Xiao Zhuzhu was coming out of the back kitchen with a tray of ice products.

"Who is looking for a host?"

As soon as I looked up, I saw Li Yongtai standing outside the counter,
"Uncle Li, when did you come back? Please come in, please come in."

Using his eyes to signal the little guy to take his tray, Xiao Zhuzi led Li Yongtai into the back kitchen,
"Miss, who do you think is back?"

The back kitchen is not just a place for making jam and icebergs. On the left side of the back kitchen, there is a separate small room where Lan Lingxue rests. Now, every day after she finishes making jam, Xiaozhu and the others There was no need for her to do other work, so she practiced calligraphy here every day, took a rest, and then waited to close the shop and go home.

Hearing Xiao Zhuzi's knock on the door, Lan Lingxue put down the pen in her hand, put it on the pen holder, wiped her hands with a damp cloth, walked over from the desk, opened the door and exclaimed,
"Father—"

"Girl—"

Seeing his daughter, Li Yongtai was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. He wanted to hug her, but he was timid again. I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and the little basket has grown into a big girl. Her body stretched out so much that he was dazzled, and her height was even bigger. It's unbelievable, it has reached the height of my shoulders, it is still a small cotton dress, but it is already exquisitely embroidered, the skirt is exquisite, the little face is pink as white, and the thin but thick eyebrows make the eyes below even more beautiful. The big ones became rounder, and the black eyeballs in them kept turning around, and gradually covered with a layer of mist. Li Yongtai couldn't hold back after all, and gently hugged the little girl he thought so much, and then Immediately let go,
"Girl, let's go home."

"Well, godfather, let's go home."

He took Li Yongtai's hand happily, and when he heard his daughter calling him godfather, Li Yongtai felt very comfortable, but when he was held by his daughter, Li Yongtai reluctantly let go.
"Silly girl, she is a big girl now, and she will make people laugh."

After staying in the capital for a long time, the old habits have come back again. Li Yongtai himself came from a big family, and he clearly knows that there are too many taboos for young ladies who have not left the cabinet. But it will be miserable.

Out of the shop door, Lan Lingxue saw three carriages parked outside the door, pointing at the three carriages, Lan Lingxue nodded gently with her small hand,

"Godfather, haven't you returned to the shop yet?"

Obviously saw godfather changed clothes,
"Come back, come back, here is what I brought for you."

Looking at the little girl's transparent white hand, which made people's eyes hurt in the sunlight, she hurriedly pulled the little arm back, but Lan Lingxue was immediately dumbfounded.

"Three cars? All gifts?"

What kind of trouble is this? The gifts are given so domineeringly. Thinking of the gifts of General An’s three carriages, Lan Lingxue couldn’t help but laugh a little. Sure enough, when a person has money, he does things boldly. He gave gifts in a small box , too petty, isn't it!
"What three carts of gifts, you think it's beautiful, it's two and a half carts."

Does it make a difference?Lan Lingxue's eyes almost blinked into little stars, and she was soft when receiving gifts, isn't that the rhythm!

"Then let's go back quickly, my father will be surprised when he sees you."

Thinking of frightening her father, Lan Lingxue also became childlike, eager to see her surprised appearance,
"Why do you still look like a child? A big girl should look big. This is the street. What does this frisky look like?"

After being scolded by her godfather, Lan Lingxue withered,

"You're still a godfather, and you'll be training others as soon as you come back, hum."

Ignoring you, Lan Lingxue pretended to be angry, turned around and called Tie Zi over,

"Tiezi, go catch the car."

Li Yongtai also relaxed when he heard that his daughter had a car. He didn't expect that he hadn't seen her for more than half a year. His daughter was already a beautiful woman. It was a bit inconvenient to take a car with him, but looking at her Acting like a baby at myself, my heart still felt a little sour, girl, long time no see.

"Sit still, Daddy will follow your car."

Seeing Lan Lingxue got into the car, Li Yongtai worriedly went to the door to give instructions, Lan Lingxue giggled a few times,
"Godfather, I take this car back and forth every day. You're careful. It's okay. Tiezi's skills are very good. Get in the car quickly. Let's go back quickly and surprise my father. "

"Well, well, let's go, let's go."

Li Yongtai, who was controlled by his daughter, immediately returned to his car obediently. The carriage went all the way back to Banhe Village, entered the village entrance, turned east, and Li Yongtai saw a large wheat field. They have all been bent down. Although they have not yet turned golden yellow, Li Yongtai has already seen the plump grains and long ears of wheat. The scene of the harvest in the coming autumn is coming. After a while, he arrived in front of the house. Lan Erzhuang had already heard the sound of the wheels of the car, put on his clothes and came out to greet him. It was so early, and it was not yet noon, so it must not be his daughter. Let's see who is here?
"Brother Lan—"

It was strange to see my daughter's carriage returning so early. In the following carriage, a man dressed in rich and noble clothes jumped out. He was wearing a blue straight suit. Because of the hot weather, he didn't wear a belt, but tied it around his waist. An exquisitely woven thin ribbon was tied with a delicate knot at the right waist, and then hung down long. On that knot, another short section of dark red bat knot was hung. The lower end of the bat knot, A light-yellow jade pendant that presses the wind hangs dignifiedly on one-third of the straight skirt, and it is indescribably exquisite and elegant.
"Brother Li?"

This is Li Yongtai?The old man whose cat was in the small rice store back then, this change is a bit too big, he is full of energy, his age seems to have grown back, he looks more than ten years younger, if he hadn't shouted Lan Erzhuang said loudly, Lan Erzhuang really didn't dare to admit it,

"Brother Lan, what, you don't welcome me back?"

Seeing Lan Erzhuang's dazed look, Li Yongtai immediately opened his hands,
"Welcome, welcome, why not welcome, it's just that it's a bit too sudden, haha..."

Lan Erzhuang strode forward to meet him, pulled his elder brother into his arms, his chest was pounding, and both of them had red eyes.

Let Tiezi lead a few coachmen to move the things to the storage room, and then take people to Lin Zihao's house to rest, arrange for Changshun to prepare some tea and snacks, then let Li Yongtai into the main room, and serve snacks , made tea,
"Come on, tell me how you've been living these days. It looks like you're doing pretty well."

Lan Erzhuang joked,

"That's right, that's right, godfather said."

Seeing that the two finally entered the room, Lan Lingxue hurried over,
"There's nothing good or bad about it. I'm just busy. When I first came back, I was like a headless chicken. I didn't have a clue. I had to start from scratch. There was no one to help me. Everyone in the clan was unfamiliar. I don't know which one is easy to use, but it's a bit difficult. Fortunately, there is our daughter, and according to her suggestion, I picked ten big families that are worthy of the name in Beijing and I used to have a little friendship with them. For the flour prepared for me, I went to the door one by one to say hello, told them stories, and let them try the effect of the flour. Before the ten families were finished, someone came to ask for it. Brother Er Zhuang, don’t you know? , when the first customer came to ask for flour, I was so excited that I didn’t know what to do, this is my first customer after returning to Beijing.”

Li Yongtai took a sip of tea and suppressed his excitement.

"Once the door is opened, it will be easy to handle. Then everything will be smooth sailing, the road will be smooth, and people will come to ask for flour, but our family does not have so much flour supply, so I push a lot, unless I can't refuse, just Let them pay the advance payment and wait for the flour to be delivered after autumn. Who knows, because they can't buy flour, more customers come to ask for it. If we order food from our shop, the reputation of our Li family rice shop will become more and more famous. The more famous the reputation, the more people will come to order food, and the better the food is sold, the more famous the reputation will be. This is invisible Lijia Mipu has formed a good circulation mechanism. After the autumn harvest, when our flour arrives, the reputation of Lijiamipu has reached a new height. Later, the small basket of sweet potatoes and corn also It’s been shipped, so the Li family’s rice shop has reached the pinnacle of Wuxia’s grain business, and no one can compete with our family anymore.”
