peasant young lady

Chapter 71

When Wang Hanxiao heard this, he suddenly regained his energy, and even the voice he asked was tinged with excitement, "Xiao Xia, tell me, what else can I do?"

Cheng Xia raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Aunt Han, since we are a medicated food shop, we should point out the function of medicated food, which is different from other restaurants, and the function of medicated food is to help customers to regulate their bodies. Help them strengthen their bodies, so," Cheng Xia smiled and hooked his hands and asked Wang Hanxiao to come over and bite his ear, "We can find someone to promote the effect of medicinal food a few days ago, and let him preach it at the entrance of the medicinal food workshop , Said that after eating our medicinal diet for the past few days, my body has become stronger, and my back is no longer sore.”

Before Cheng Xia finished speaking, Wang Hanxiao laughed out loud, and she patted Cheng Xia's shoulder dumbfounded, "You can imagine how many things you have in your mind."

Cheng Xia pursed her lips, and puffed her cheeks in embarrassment, "Aunt Han, I'm not wrong, the ingredients in our medicinal food shop are all very good, and the taste is delicious, the key is really to regulate the body Function, as long as the food is eaten properly, it will be of great benefit to the guest's body." Cheng Xia scratched his head while talking, "Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's not harmful, just be realistic."

"Haha, okay," Wang Hanxiao nodded briskly, "Leave this matter to me. Just now I just said that you have a flexible mind. Don't say I couldn't think of it. My niece who has always been called the "talented girl of the capital" couldn't think of it either. Come out, Xiaoxia, you were born in a small village, I really feel sorry for you."

Cheng Xia quickly shook her head, "Aunt Han is too polite." Seeing that Aunt Han had been praising herself, Cheng Xia changed the subject in embarrassment, "Aunt Han, there are other activities besides this. It is divided into two levels, one is for the general public, and the other is a bit high-grade. You, like rich people, definitely don’t care if it’s free/free or cheap, what they care about is whether there is a grade, so We can position Herbal Foods at a higher level.”

Wang Hanxiao obviously had the same intention. Hearing what Zhao Han said, she quickly responded, "I also have this plan. When I discussed with Liang Zhong yesterday, I still had the intention to open the medicinal food shop to various places in the Ming Dynasty, so it must be Think about long-term development.”

Cheng Xia nodded, "Literati and elegant guests have always liked poetry and poetry. I heard from Xiao Wu that the shopkeeper Shang was a top Jinshi in the past, and his knowledge must be fine. If the shopkeeper is willing, he can produce some pairs every day and hang them in the lobby. Among them, it is stated that anyone who can post the second line will be given the right to taste the food in the store for free. Whether it is a pair, or a poem, or a painting, as long as you have your own strengths, you can show them to your heart's content." Cheng Xia was a little dissatisfied Looking at the back of the shopkeeper at the door, he asked Wang Hanxiao in a low voice, "I heard that the shopkeeper stayed away from the capital because he didn't want to be an official. I wonder if the shopkeeper is willing to cooperate with this method?"

Wang Hanxiao smiled heartily, "No problem, this matter is on me, and I have a way to let him do it. Xiao Xia's idea is good. In fact, you said that literati and elegant guests always love poetry and poetry. If you ask me to say, they I like to be arty, as long as these literati can see our medicinal food workshop, people from all over the world will come here, although it will take some time, but it will not happen sooner or later, I have confidence."

Seeing Wang Hanxiao's swearing, Cheng Xia knew that the cooperation between the two was right, and Aunt Han was also a person who worked tirelessly to do things to the extreme, which saved her a lot of time, after all, she is now in Qingxian Village , It is impossible to spare a lot of time to pay attention to the affairs of the medicinal food workshop.

In the future, Left and Right Medicinal Food Workshop will be handed over to the shopkeeper and Aunt Han. She only needs to do the three-month work in the early stage and get half of the profit for the three-month period.

Cheng Xia and Wang Hanxiao had a detailed discussion about the specific opening plan. Xiao Wu was useless this time, so Wang Hanxiao took a pen and wrote down the detailed rules and regulations, and added small words next to what needed to be added. Explain in detail.

Cheng Xia looked eagerly at Wang Hanxiao, who wrote like flowing clouds and flowing water, and wanted to drool with envy. This graceful lower case writing is so beautiful, even more delicate than the copybooks her father brought her to copy when she was a child.

Wang Hanxiao saw that Cheng Xia was staring at him too passionately, raised his head and smiled, and shook the brush in front of Zhaohan's eyes, "Would you like to try?"

Cheng Xia froze for a moment, quickly waved his hands and jumped back two steps, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Just kidding, as for her simplified characters that have been soaked for more than [-] years, how can she get her hands on it?

When Aunt Han finished writing down all the activities, it would be getting dark. Looking at the sun in the middle, it felt like it was almost noon.

Yesterday she told Lieutenant Yang that she would cook alone with Yang Dalang, now that she came to Chong'an County, Yang Dalang went to a neighboring village to copy books, so she didn't have to worry about lunch, but they didn't have any pots and pans to use, so they had to buy some back In the next few days, Cheng Xia doesn't plan to make winter melon preserves and doesn't plan to come to the county town halfway. She wants to use these few days to prepare for the rose sauce, so she has to buy more things.

When we arrived at the pharmacy, the shopkeeper had already asked the little military commander to weigh melon candied fruit. This time, the shopkeeper brought out a tael of silver, and Cheng Xia was taken aback, "Why did the shopkeeper give so much?"

Isn't eight hundred characters usually enough?

Shang Liangzhong smiled warmly, "Han Xiao feels sorry for you worrying so much about the matter of the Medicinal Food Workshop. Eight hundred Wen is about the same as one tael, so I can give you a whole number."

Well?The life of the rich is good. In their Qingxian Village, the difference of two hundred Wen is not a small sum.But Cheng Xia didn't intend to hate Fu, thanked the shopkeeper, and followed Aunt Han to look at the small white porcelain altar they bought last time.

Cheng Xia saw dozens of small porcelain jars neatly stacked in a room behind the pharmacy, his eyes lit up immediately, the white and rounded small porcelain jars are simply exquisite, of high value, and feel great to the touch , the rose sauce used to pack a small jar is simply perfect.

Cheng Xia's back basket was limited, and she couldn't take all the porcelain jars away. After weighing it up, she could only pack ten small porcelain jars and put them in her back basket, and put the rest here for the next time. Come get it again.

Out of the pharmacy, Cheng Xia saw a lot of people gathered in front of him, and could hear wailing from a distance, and walked in carefully, only to find that it was the yamen who were arresting people, after listening for a while, he vaguely heard that there was a The middle-aged man looked very much like the man in the portrait taken by Yacha, so they wanted to take him away, but the man's family naturally refused to let him go, saying that he didn't know Shao Lin at all, and he was not the man in the portrait. A native of An County, where has he been to the capital? He said that the Yacha arrested the wrong person.

Shaolin?Cheng Xia frowned listening to the name, thinking to herself, could it be that the middle-aged man in the portrait that day was called Shao Lin?

Cheng Xia cautiously looked at the man who was pinned down on the ground by the yamen. He looked only about forty, and there were a few children around him who were crying non-stop. It seemed that they should be men's children.

Cheng Xia knew that this was not something she could meddle in, but the cries of those children made her feel unbearable. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't hold back her conscience. She carefully walked forward and stood in front of the furious clerk, smiling. The innocent and bright face on his face, "Master, I know that several officials are handling the case. I just passed by and watched for a while. I wanted to leave, but I was afraid that if the officials arrested this man, they would be caught by the county magistrate." scolding, so I still take the risk to remind you.”

Hearing this, the clerk exchanged glances with the clerk next to him. Seeing that the woman in front of her was quite pretty, and hearing that she meant to be nice to them, he kicked the man away, approached Cheng Xia and asked her, " What do you say, girl?"

There was a stench in the mouth of the Yacha, Cheng Xia suppressed his nausea, pointed to the man who was covered with bruises on the ground and said, "Look, officer, if these two children still call this man father, it proves that this man is not old, but Look at the people in this portrait, no matter how you look at them, they are much older than this man."

Cheng Xia looked at the stern portrait of the yamen chaperone and compared the two people, and nodded in doubt, which seemed to be a little bit of approval, Cheng Xia continued to say, "I saw the notice posted by the official last time, saying Concubine Wan Gui wants to reminisce with her old friend from more than ten years ago, that is to say, this portrait is also from more than ten years ago, so the person on this portrait must be more than 60 now. This one is even worse. If the official arrests him, the magistrate sees him, and he can't blame the official for arresting innocent people."

Yacha clicked his tongue twice, whispered to the person next to him, then turned his head to look at Cheng Xia, nodded seriously, "Little girl is right, let's forget about today, let's go."

Hulala left with a group of people, and Cheng Xia's tense heart relaxed for a moment. Compared with the last time, the atmosphere of today's market is obviously more tense. It seems that the time limit for Concubine Wan Gui is approaching. Things are more imminent.

Although it has nothing to do with her, she should stay in Qingxian Village with peace of mind these few days and don't come out.

The man who fell on the ground kowtowed to Cheng Xia to thank him, and the people onlookers also praised him. Cheng Xia asked the uncle to take the child away quickly.

Cheng Xia saw that missing person notice was posted all over the street, the more he looked at the portrait of that person, the more he felt that he was somewhat similar to her husband, Cheng Xia shivered from the cold, and hurried away to buy daily necessities.

The seller of pots and pans was in another less prosperous street, and Cheng Xia shifted to the other side, but a person next to a small pastry vendor caught Cheng Xia's attention, not because he was selling things. There are many characteristics of this man, but Cheng Xia feels familiar with the lip balm he sells.

Cheng Xia, who was about to step into the shop, stopped and stopped aside. The man selling lip balm saw it, and quickly laughed and said, "Young lady is so pretty, buy some lipstick paper for use, my mother said , women will be more beautiful if they use this."

Cheng Xia picked up a piece of lipstick paper and touched it, then looked at the man curiously, "Brother, this lipstick paper hasn't dried out yet, why did you take it out and sell it?"
