Chapter 77 Nature

I don't know if there was a quarrel on the road. An Chong didn't intend to ask, but thought that he would study well in the future. If Brother Che has any dissatisfaction with his sister, don't even think about bullying his sister at will.

The snow stopped, the sun was very strong, and the temperature rose in the middle of the noon. Sitting in the sun, my whole body was warm.

The snow melted a lot, as if it had just rained heavily, but even if it was inconvenient to walk, the people in the country felt that it was fine.

If the snow keeps falling, it really won't work.

However, there are also people who are dissatisfied with the melting of the snow. Lu Ningxin is walking in the corridor in a snow-white cloak, looking at the snow dripping down on the treetops outside the corridor and on the roof, she regrets: "The snow has stopped really Unfortunately, I also want to set up a fireside banquet to listen to the snow."

At this time, Lu Ningya, like a naughty child, took the water from the left to the right, and Jin Wang walked over from the corner of the front corridor.

Hearing these words, Wen Yan frowned unconsciously.

Lu Ningya stepped forward in dissatisfaction, pointed at Lu Ningxin's nose and said, "You really care about your own enjoyment. I don't know how many people in Chaoyang County next door froze to death this time due to the heavy snowfall and the previous earthquake. ? Even under the rule of our father, seven or eight beggars were frozen to death in this heavy snowfall. Do you still think that there is not enough snowfall?"

Lu Ningxin was dumbfounded by the words, and it took a while to react. She glanced at King Jin, and found that the other party looked at the eldest sister with tenderness and approval.

Immediately, my heart felt like a bug, disgusting and uncomfortable.

"Sister's words are really too serious." Lu Ningxin lowered her head slightly, with a slight grievance in her expression, "Sister just said casually, she didn't think so much. Why should sister say so loudly, I am a little girl I don't understand the outside world, but I also know that God won't continue because of my happy words."

Lu Ningya curled her lips, and King Jin stepped forward and said, "Third Miss, what Eldest Miss means is that although you can't control it, at least don't feel sorry for Xueting."

Lu Ningxin's expression turned extremely ugly for a moment, Lu Ningya snorted and said, "My lord, we still have to go to see the county magistrate, so don't delay my sister enjoying the snow here."

The word appreciating the snow was slapped on the face like a slap, Lu Ningxin looked at Lu Ningya's back, and the hatred in her eyes gushed out.

Jin Wang is also funny, this eldest lady of the Lu family is very pure, but she doesn't know how to accept it when she sees it, she is the kind who sees everyone else falling and steps forward a few times.

Originally, he wanted to choose one from the sisters of the Lu family so as to get rid of the county lord, but now King Jin hesitated.

Miss Lu really likes to chase "poor bandits". The person who went back to Houya for dinner at noon that day, Mrs. Lu knew what the third daughter said in the morning, and called her into the study to teach her a lesson.

Now that the disaster in Chaoyang County is serious, the higher-ups have sent imperial envoys for disaster relief, and his daughter actually said such stupid things. If it is rumored, what kind of reputation will Lu Shiren get?
In vain, he used to think that among the three daughters, the third daughter was smart and polite, but now it seems that she is just a fool who doesn't even know how to speak.

From this day on, Lu Ningya, who has neither the love of her grandmother nor the attention of her father, was completely invisible at home, until when she was leaving the city two days later, she happened to meet Mrs. Rong who was going back to Beijing, and successfully sent her away. After taking it to the county government office, my grandmother also had a smile on her face when she talked about her.

After resting at home for a day, Zheng Changsheng started to get busy again. He had seen the first batch of Zongzi candy made by An Xu, and tasted a piece, the sweetness seemed to melt directly to the tip of his heart.

I have never eaten such a sweet candy. Maltose, caramel, and even honey are not as delicious as this candy.

Zheng Changsheng couldn't wait to go out and sell.

An Xu said that he also plans to make a kind of toffee, using Anjia's camel milk, a kind of sesame crisp candy. If there are enough peanuts, the peanut crisp will be the best.

At present, this kind is on the high-end route, that is, it will make a beautiful box and sell it to the noble family. Then she made a few catties of milky white sugar sticks and brown-red sugar plates mixed with sesame seeds and walnuts on the spot. , this one is packed in a cloth bag lined with oiled paper and sold loose.

Zheng Changsheng had never been so confident in anything. On the same day, he took a pack of original rice dumpling candies, a pack of pine nut kernel rice dumpling candies, and two packs of sugar sticks and sugar plates. Xin'an Town began to recruit merchants.

It didn't take him to waste any words at all. In the morning of the first day, he received an order payment of dozens of taels, and then he went from town to town to the direction of Zhipu County.

Before selling bamboo cups, he was familiar with the small vendors in these market towns, and he had a foundation of trust, so the small order money was easy to get.Those big candied fruit shops couldn't trust it, and they really thought the candy he took was good, most of them said that they would give money after the candy came.

Zheng Changsheng smiled, and explained to them that they first supplied part of the payment for the goods. For those who have not paid for the delivery, you can wait for the serial number on the account I recorded to pick up the goods.

If there is not enough sugar, sorry, then there will be no more for you.

So later on, it was easier for Zheng Changsheng to pay for the order. Basically, he took out the notebook and looked at the dozens of names in the front, and the shopkeepers in the back paid the money.

These shopkeepers are also various, some threaten him not to deliver the goods and wait for the owner to take care of him, some make nice words and ask him to be the first to deliver the goods, and some even want to cheat on the order payment.

Zheng Changsheng felt that he was improving every day, and he was better at speaking every day than the day before.

On the 100th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zheng Changsheng had already run all the market towns with a radius of more than [-] miles. At [-] o'clock in the evening, he came out of the largest candied fruit shop in Xiaoyuan Township on the outskirts of the county. Yuan Huayue, the shopkeeper, smiled and sent him outside. He also said in his mouth: "Master Yue is the guarantor for the middleman, can I not trust you? You can also send it to me in the end."

Zheng Changsheng said with a smile: "Our boss has prepared two carriages, and several people will deliver them along the route tomorrow. Don't worry, it won't be too late for you."

Yuan Huayue burst out laughing, and said, "Don't worry. By the way, brother, why don't you go to the county to deliver it? I know the old shopkeeper of Mijin Pavilion, why don't you take me for a walk? They are a big shop, so they definitely want it." More."

Hearing this, Zheng Changsheng listed this person as one who could be handed over, but he smiled politely: "No need, our master only has one or two thousand catties in hand, no, it's all set to go out."

After exchanging greetings and leaving the door, Zheng Changsheng rode on the donkey outside and left.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month on the second day, it also meant that the purchase of new year's goods officially started. An Xu, Zheng Changsheng, and Feng Nian split into two groups at five o'clock to drive the carriage to deliver the goods.

An Xu followed Fengnian, starting from Xin'an Town, according to the small stalls recorded in Zheng Changsheng's book, and gave them away from family to family.

Lai Er is a small peddler. He set up a stall at the intersection of the cross street in Xin'an Town. On it, there are grids of persimmons, dried apricots, dried peaches, and candied dates. These are the goods he bought from the big shop in the county seat , because it is well done, it is very easy to sell in the countryside, especially during Chinese New Year.

Early this morning, he opened his stall in the cold wind, and looked north from time to time. The kid surnamed Zheng said that someone would bring candy sticks and candy plates today. Why is there no one there?
Lai Er recalled that he tasted a piece of sugar board that day, and now he still feels the aroma of crushed sesame seeds and walnuts and very rich sweetness in his mouth.

This will not be asking for a lot, so I will give it to him at the end. I knew that I should have said to go to the other party's house to pick it up.

It didn't take long for Lai Er to worry, a carriage from the south stopped by the booth.

An Xu came down and said, "It's Lai Er, you want two packs of candy bars."

Lai Er turned his head and asked, "Why did you come from the south? It's not that shopkeeper Zheng Xiao's home is in Linhe Village."

Feng Nian brought down a bag of sugar boards with one arm, and An Xu smiled and said, "We sent them all the way from the south. Two bags of sugar boards, one hundred catties, you order."

Lai Er opened the cloth bag, and the sweet smell immediately burrowed into his nose. He looked up and down, and borrowed a scale from the butcher shop to weigh it, and it weighed more than a hundred catties.

One catty of sugar board is thirty cash, and Lai Er has already paid the order fee of two hundred cash, and now there is no more nonsense, and the remaining money is settled.

Lai Er's surname is Lai. I didn't expect him to handle things so cleanly and neatly, without cheating at all.

An Xu and Fengnian went out with a cartful of sugar, and when they came back, they brought a cartload of money. The money that small traders use in their daily lives is mostly copper coins. Strings of copper coins, only a few pieces of broken silver.

When they came back with the money, the streets were full of people. It was the Chinese New Year, and those who went out to do hard work basically returned home. These men didn’t care about the cooking at home. There was no mahjong table. They all stood in the village chatting their teeth.

"Da Ni, what are you doing here?" A man in his [-]s and [-]s asked An Xu.

An Xu was puzzled for a moment, who is this, and he really opened his mouth to ask.

Fengnian came from outside and hadn't stayed in the village for many days, so of course he didn't know him.

"I made some money, and I don't even know your second uncle anymore." A person next to him laughed.

These words are very bitter.

Feng Nian hurriedly said: "My lady didn't say that she didn't know each other, so why should Gao Neighbor be so provocative."

"If you really got rich, even the guard dog is different from ours," the man said even more harshly, after laughing at the good harvest, he said to An Xu: "Don't always get into the eyes of money, the important thing is to be filial and filial." Elder, if you support your younger brother well and get a good name in the exam, that will give your family a glorious lintel. Otherwise, your father will not be happy even if your family is poor in farming and studying and becomes a low-ranking businessman."

This is a bit too much, Uncle An, who has not interrupted all this time, frowned, and was about to say something, when her niece smiled and said: "If you don't like it, my daughter's house can keep the family from starving and suffering." Dong, it seems that you are noble, it is already the cold winter of March [-]th, and you are still wearing layers of single jackets, if you have time to teach me here, you must have eaten too much this morning."

"What are you talking about?" The man was immediately annoyed, pointing at An Xu and was about to step forward, "I'm your uncle anyway, so you just talked to me like that, Brother Mu? Don't you care?"

Uncle An: His niece has been a rascal since she was a child, what should he do?It's not a boy, can you still fight?
