Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 99

Xia Junyan has no idea who the new county magistrate is or what his character is.It hasn't even been half a year since she came here, and she is still learning and exploring a lot of knowledge.Xia Junyan basically had no idea about how the imperial court dispatched officials and what the yamen was in charge of.In this era, there is no similar rules and regulations for her to look up. Those who know this knowledge are the gentry and scholars in the county, but these people will not have any intersection with a woman who sets up a street stall.

At first, Xia Junyan planned to go to the bookstall to find a copy of the court regulations, but later she realized that ordinary people are not qualified to read such books.Because of the ignorant policy, even if Xia Junyan wanted to broaden her horizons through books, she was unable to do so.Sometimes she also panics, fearing that she will really become a literate "illiterate" if she continues for such a long time.

But this kind of thinking is only for a moment, and now her top priority is to make money.The sooner she saves a family fortune for herself, the sooner she will feel at ease, she won't be crushed to pieces in an instant just because of a storm.

"Grandma, we have earned three or two taels of silver these days." Qian Gui ate plain cold noodles and drank millet wine that Xia Junyan had mixed with water, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Xia Junyan took a pen to write and draw on the paper: "Almost." Then urged, "Hurry up and eat, and I will be busy greeting diners later."

Qian Gui hurriedly picks up the bowl and picks it up. Although Aunt Xia is very stingy, she is quite straightforward when giving her wages.

It was another busy morning, but Xia Junyan was not idle at noon.During this period of time, she continued to expand her business. A few days ago, she specially announced that as long as the early morning is over, she can deliver directly to the door at noon, so that diners will not have to run back and forth under the sun.You only need to come to make an appointment in the morning, and pay an extra penny as an errand fee.She also launched a series of set meals: cold noodles, rice wine, side dishes; cold noodles, mung bean soup, side dishes, all kinds of combinations are cheaper than buying alone.

There are too few new things in ancient times. Xia Junyan's food stall quickly became famous with the word "fresh".Seeing that it was almost noon, he hurriedly asked Qian Gui to take the food box and deliver the pre-ordered portions door to door.

"Miss Xia, your business is booming." A man in a black gown walked over with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to you." Xia Junyan immediately asked him to sit down, poured a cup of tea, and asked, "I asked you to find a shop, how did you find it?"

Feng Lidao: "I looked at a few, but none of them met Miss Xia's requirements. What you want is a big shop, with a big house connected to the front hall and a yard behind. There are such things, but the location is far away. Most of the shops near Zhudongshi are small ones."

"A while ago, I saw that the rich man wanted to sell his shop. Broker Feng, I trusted you so I asked you to find it for me. If it wasn't that I was too busy to leave, I would go find it myself." Xia Xia Jun Yan hates that when doing business, the other party treats her as a fool. It is normal to discuss the price in business, but it is impossible to continue the business if you open your eyes and talk nonsense.

Feng Li hurriedly said: "Miss Xia is also an expert, I will fool you and no one will fool you. Isn't this the new county magistrate who is coming? Many people who have free shops have started to wait and see." He lowered his voice, He whispered, "According to the old rules, the new county magistrate will buy some properties in the local area after he arrives, and those who have shops will sell the empty shops to the new county magistrate, so that he can make a familiar face with the magistrate. , Secondly, it is also a good relationship with the county magistrate."
