I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 1412 Mutton in the Southwest

Seeing that the other party's eyes were only filled with admiration, but without a trace of mockery, Gu Tuo completely believed that he was not mocking himself.

The pride of being a man immediately took over his heart.

"That is. Don't you look at how much thought I have put into marrying her home! How much effort I have made to cater to her pace these years! I dare say that in this world, apart from me, there is only No one can make her marry so willingly!"

In order to marry this daughter-in-law, God knows how much he paid!

Guan Xiaowei's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"Really? It turns out that you have done so many things, Officer Ran! Come on, come on, tell me quickly!"

Ever since, in the days that followed, Gu Tuo often bragged in Ding Xi's army how he won Xia Ying, let Xia Ying and him sing together, and the couple raised so many outstanding children together. To develop one's own business so powerfully.

It is also because of this incident that Gu Tuo's status in Ding Xi's army has skyrocketed, but many men have come to follow him to learn how to get along with their wives!

As for Xia Ying, she went back to the city and fell asleep, and put this matter behind her the next day.

Anyway, she did it in the Dingxi Army barracks, and now that she is far away from that place, she is another hero!
And she has a lot of things to do!
No, as soon as he came back from the barracks, the families of the soldiers who lived in Ningcheng came to visit him one after another.Many of these people were also recruited by the Bai family to help open the Southwest Branch of Qianjin Bookstore.

These women have lived in the southwest all year round, and they have also developed a bold temperament.Not many of them like to read books, but the picture album produced by Xia Ying has more pictures and less text, which is exactly what they like, so most of these people are Xia Ying's followers.

In this way, it will be easier for everyone to get along with each other!
Now that a group of people got acquainted with each other, Mrs. Bai hurriedly took Xia Ying out for a stroll in Ningcheng.

However, although Ningcheng is said to be the largest and most affluent town in the Southwest, to be honest, the scale here is about the same as Qingshan County in Jiangbian Province.Moreover, most of the houses in the city are built with stones, and most of them are practical, and not many people would think of excessive decoration.This makes the city look gray.

But even so, the city is not lifeless.At least for the few times Xia Ying went out, she saw that all the people living in the border area were all happy and happy, and the children even laughed and chased after each other wantonly. Everyone was grasping the current day and living a prosperous life fire.

And...the mutton here is extraordinarily delicious!
Whether it's roasted lamb leg, braised lamb chops, or even stewed lamb tail soup, they are all delicious.

They don’t even need to look for shops everywhere. If they feel hungry on the road, they can find a shop and sit down at random, and point to a spot on the body of a whole sheep that is sizzling with oil hanging at the door of the shop, and the boss will cut it off on the spot. Served on a plate, the taste is very good!
After eating, ask the shop owner for a piece of lamb bone or tail, and the boss will not charge any money, just give it away for free!
Then when you get home, put the bones or sheep tails into the earthen pot and simmer slowly over low heat for half a day, then lift the lid of the earthen pot, and you will see a layer of oil floating on the clear soup.Skim off the slick oil, sprinkle with a small pinch of salt, and then scoop out a spoonful of the soup to taste it carefully. This thick and fragrant soup without any smell is simply delicious!
In the southwestern border in autumn, drinking a bowl of this soup with the autumn wind blowing makes people feel lazy and comfortable to the bone.

Bai's group followed Xia Ying, and they all gained a lot of insight.

"Sure enough, people from the capital can eat and play! Unlike us, who know how to eat barbecue and stew every day. If you eat too much, you will get angry at every turn!"

"That's not true. I know how to eat and play, and I also like to eat and play." Xia Ying corrected them solemnly, "Others think that eating, drinking and having fun is a sign of enjoying themselves and not making progress, but I don't think so. Human life For a lifetime, if there is no one aspect for yourself to indulge and enjoy, how hard would it be?"

What she said really touched everyone's heart!
For a while, the wives of these military households became closer to Xia Ying.

So naturally, when Xia Ying wanted to open Qianjin Bookstore's southwest branch, they all tried their best to help.

What's more, there are not many merchants in the city of Ningzhou, and even fewer are engaged in the cultural industry.Therefore, Xia Ying's opening of this bookstore now completely fills in such a large gap, and even the officials are extremely supportive!

Even Cai Zhifu, the head of Ningzhou, said in person: "Mrs. Ronghua, if you like a piece of land, just say what you want, and the government will set aside the land for you! If you need anything else, just say That's it. Even if the house is busy and has no time, there is a wife in the house."

Apart from the Bai family, the prefect's wife is now the second best friend who is inseparable from Xia Ying!

Xia Ying also nodded readily and agreed. "Then I won't be polite!"

She took Sister Fu and Lu Qingyun around the city of Ningzhou for three days, and finally the three of them selected a large open space on the east side of the city.

"It's here!"

"Here? I thought, Madam Ronghua, that you would choose a location in the city. It is well-connected and has convenient transportation. It must be better than here." Madam Cai sighed.

Xia Ying shook her head. "Then you are thinking wrong. Our bookstore is after all a literary and artistic model, and now our identity is also here, so of course we can't keep relying on the downtown area. We need to find a quiet and remote place, and we will find a quiet and remote place. Stay quietly. Others want to join in the fun, so come here by yourself, we will not accommodate them! This is the style of our Qianjin Bookstore!"

At any rate, they are also a prestigious bookstore. Now anyone in Ningzhou City who can read and write is a fan of the book "God of War". Xia Ying is indeed qualified to present this book.

After she finished speaking, Sister Fu added: "The Southwest side is different from the capital city. The people here are bold and have a particularly loud voice. After observing these days, we found that there are people galloping on the street every now and then. The smoke and dust from the bookstore is extremely large, which is also very detrimental to the maintenance of the various books in the bookstore. When the bookstore recruits students again, who can guarantee that the students will not be disturbed by the movement outside? Therefore, we still find a relative It’s better to open a bookstore in a cleaner place.”

"Also, the place in the north is close to the city gate. In seasons, we can organize students to go out of the city to enjoy the scenery in time, which is much more convenient and quicker than starting directly from the city."

It turned out that they had already considered so comprehensively!
