Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

After buying the shop, Wang Xiujin changed hands and rented it out.After returning home, he gave all the contracts of the shop to the elder sister.Wang Xiuyun was taken aback when she received it, and then she wanted to return it to her younger brother. How could she ask for something from his younger brother? It is not easy for him. Even though it looks very beautiful now, she knows how hard it is for him to make money.How could Wang Xiujin take back what was given out, "Elder Sister will help keep it, Father won't find out."

Wang Xiuyun wasn't sure if his younger brother was using his father as an excuse, so he could only put it away first, and then find an opportunity to ask his mother what to do.Mrs. Wang was straightforward, "Since Xiu Jin gave you the shop, he has his ideas, and you just keep it. You also keep the money rented out from the shop. If their brothers have troubles in the future, you also have it." It can help them." Wang Xiuyun finally accepted it with confidence, and at the same time accepted the idea of ​​getting rent subsidies for the family.

After the Wang Dong family finished disposing of the family property, they left Wu County with their daughter-in-law. After that, no one saw them again. Taking the daughter-in-law to another place to start again is actually taking the daughter-in-law to jump the mountain, but no one believes this statement.Some people also said that Mr. Wang's family followed him to the sea and never returned, and his wife also ran away with others.Some people also said that Wang Dong's family took his daughter-in-law to the northern border, and the two gave birth to a fat boy, and they lived a good life.In short, there are various speculations, but no one or even a descendant has come back.

The days passed quickly, and it was cold in a blink of an eye. The second crop of grain in the field was considered a bumper harvest. Every household was busy harvesting the land. Wang Xiujin took the shop assistants to collect the land early, and then I gave a few folks in the shop who had land to take a farming holiday, and asked them to go back to help their families reclaim the land, and promised that they would not deduct the monthly money. paid some monthly money.

After finishing the second crop of work, there are a lot of things in the shop. Compared with the beginning of the shop, the goods are much fuller.Wang Xiujin thought about getting the oil out after being busy for a while.I had this idea because I saw soybeans.Farmers seldom use oil, and the oil used by wealthy people is basically dirty oil, not to mention eating, just looking at it feels greasy.But in the absence of other oils, even scrambled eggs with muddy oil can be delicious.

Wang Xiujin has seen the method of manual soybean oil in his previous life, but he is not [-]% sure that the oil will be squeezed out, so he can only grope slowly.

After the twelfth lunar month, the temperature drops significantly, and there is an earth dragon in the house, and the firewood is prepared early, so there will be no suffering.The shop in the city also repaired the ground dragon during the renovation, and the shopkeeper Wu, who was connected to the grocery store, squatted in the grain shop every day and refused to leave.The hardship lies in the way back and forth. There is only an ox cart at home, and there is no shelter. Even if the speed of the car is not fast, it is easy to catch cold. Wang Xiujin thought about staying in the city for a few days, and then returning to the village for a few days. He didn't dare to make a rule, there is no man in the family who can do things, if he finds a rule, it will be bad if something happens.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Xiujin set up a stall in front of the shop, and then brought out a stove with a pot on it. There were golden things cooking in the pot, and some sweet aromas could be smelled if you got close.Wang Xiujin originally wanted to cook Laba porridge, but unfortunately he lacked some things. Even if he found some, the price was not cheap.

The cornmeal is freshly ground from the freshly recovered corn in the shop. He ate some in the morning, and it was much stronger than the one he ate in his previous life, and it tasted very corny.Wang Xiujin handed over the porridge to shopkeeper Yu. He wanted to hide for a while, but was dragged into the shop by shopkeeper Wu.

"Tell me, what do you ask the shops on both sides to do when you make such a move." Shopkeeper Wu glared at Wang Xiujin, who had an innocent face, causing trouble.

Wang Xiujin really didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. Didn't the ancients pay attention to giving porridge on this day?Why does it feel like he's done something amazing.

"You should discuss it with me before you do it!" Seeing Wang Xiujin's confused face, shopkeeper Wu gritted his teeth, "I will share half of the expenses." Such things that can sell a good reputation can't be left behind, he He was annoyed that if Wang Xiujin had said hello earlier, he would have been able to send a letter to Xiangcheng.

"Ah? It's not that much expense. The noodles are freshly ground in the shop. It looks like there is a lot of porridge in a pot, but in fact, you don't need much noodles." Wang Xiujin waved his hands hurriedly, but he still didn't understand Wu's intentions.

"I'll buy some noodles in your shop, and use your people to cook another pot!" After the shopkeeper Wu finished speaking, he wanted to go to the grain shop to buy noodles, but turned around and looked at Wang Xiujin, "Use noodles to cook porridge , can you get enough to eat?"

"One bowl per person, who said I have to eat as much as I want?" Wang Xiujin rolled his eyes.

Starting from the grain shop, several restaurants in Wucheng soon followed, and then there were people serving porridge in other shops. On the day of Laba, many people in the city did not open fire.Since then, every year on the day of Laba in Wuxian County, shops will give porridge.

After Laba, I started to prepare things for the New Year. When Wang Xiujin returned to the village, he received a long list from his elder sister. It was filled with things needed for the New Year. needed by relatives.It took Wang Xiujin three days to buy everything on the list.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Xiujin went to the academy to pick up his elder brother.The academy closed at the end of the twelfth lunar month, and there are very few people staying in the academy now.After winter in the academy, it was far less comfortable than at home. If it wasn't for the opportunity to communicate more, Wang Xiubai would have long wanted to go home to Maodong.Although there are no earth dragons in the academy, there are still several braziers, but they still suffer some crimes at night, people who have lived in the south for many years are used to it.

Wang Xiubai got into the bullock cart and tightened his clothes. The two of them didn't speak during the journey, fearing that the wind would blow into their mouths.When they got home, Wang Xiubo helped his younger brother drive the cattle into the shed, tied the car, ran into the house, and kept rubbing his hands. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house made both of them shiver. I took a sip of the warm water that came, and I was relieved.Wang Xiubo first went to salute his parents, and then told his father what he had learned in the academy and what he had reviewed.Wang Xiujin went back to his room to read. When he entered the city today, he had already handed over the shop to the shopkeeper. He didn't plan to go to the city again years ago.

Capital, General Li's Mansion

After the dispute between the princes in the palace, Li Sushan thought that he would be implicated, and that the emperor would send Li's family down because of this. How could the emperor let him stay with the prince after he recovered from his illness.General Li also euphemistically mentioned that he wanted to send his eldest grandson to the military camp for training, but the emperor said that Li Sushan was young and could wait a few more years.Helpless, Li Sushan entered the palace again to accompany the prince.

After being tripped in secret, the prince trusted Li Sushan even more.Li Sushan's trust in the prince is not known whether it is luck or misfortune.

At this moment, Li Sushan was sitting in his grandfather's study, and mentioned something that the prince had recently become interested in.The prince wanted to plant rice in Huangzhuang and raise crabs, but he didn't know how to raise them. He wanted to write a letter to the Wang family, but felt that he would rob the Wang family of their livelihood.Li Sushan has stayed with the prince for a long time, and he understands the prince's character. If such a person really takes that position one day, he can't say whether it is luck or misfortune.

After listening to the elder grandson's proposal, Old General Li couldn't help it. Although he had planted fields with his parents when he was young, he never went to the fields after serving in the army. After so many years, it would be an exaggeration to say that he couldn't distinguish the five grains. He may not be able to recognize all the farm tools and know how to use them, but he can't guarantee.

The old and the young looked at each other for a while, and they couldn't refuse this matter, so they had to find someone capable.Who in the world would raise crabs in rice?Needless to say, he knew who that person was, but if he invited the other party to the capital, it was obviously impossible. The prince had already said that he could not steal the other party's livelihood, but the land had to be planted, and the crabs had to be raised.

"Chun Geng still has some time, why don't you send someone to the south to have a look? In the name of seeing each other." Old General Li thought about it, and then came up with this idea, "Does Su Shan want to see that kid? I remember His nickname should be 'Tian Ding'."

Li Sushan nodded, and then shook his head, "Grandfather, grandsons in the south cannot go, even if they can go, now is not a good time."

"What's wrong!" Old General Li wished to spoil this family. Although it was not that there were no male-male marriages in the court, he didn't feel disgusted, but if it was on his eldest grandson, he couldn't tolerate it.The eldest grandson is inherently lonely, and he has no expression on his face. If he doesn't find someone who knows the cold and the hot, how will he live in the future.Before the youngest son of the Wang family was in the eyes of the prince, he couldn't mention the matter of retiring the engagement, but now that child is probably in the eyes of the emperor, he can't even think about retiring the engagement.

Li Su knew his grandfather loved him well, but the marriage was ordered by the late emperor, and now that the emperor's ascension basically caused a lot of troubles, he would definitely not invalidate the marriage mentioned by the late emperor, and even concubines and the like were not allowed to appear. "Grandfather, we have no way of guessing what that person is thinking now. If we want to keep the Li family, we have to..."

How could Old General Li not know that if he didn't have a big family, he would have to argue with the emperor about everything he said, but there are nearly a hundred people in the mansion, including in-laws, there are countless people, how can he be left alone. "Let the butler come over and deliver the New Year's gift." The grandparents and grandchildren elaborated a bit more, Li Sushan got up and exited the study, and returned to his room, Li Sushan wanted to find something and asked the butler to take it with him Give it to Wang Xiujin as an exchange.

Wang Xiujin didn't know anything about the capital and had nothing to do at home, so he thought of the oil press.Because I decided to extract oil before, I prepared some soybeans at home, which saved me a trip to the city.Write down the steps of oil extraction on paper, and then, there will be no more.The first steps were easy, but later he needed an oil press, so it was not something he could do. Perhaps after returning to the village, the work went so smoothly that he had the illusion that he could do it as long as he wanted to.Looking at the paper full of steps, Wang Xiujin began to reflect...
