Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

"What the girl is saying is, how about we shovel some cabbage from the ground and stew it together with the meat. Firstly, it will dissolve the oily smell, and secondly, it will be okay if we eat too much cabbage." Wang Ying bravely proposed an opinion.

Shen Qing waved his hand, "It's up to you to take care of this little matter."

It gets dark soon, but Wangjiazhuang today is even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

In the square in the center of Zhuangzi, several bonfires were lit, and two large iron pots were set up in the middle. Later, when there were not enough, the steamed buns were brought to the villagers' homes, where they were steamed and then brought out.

By the time the moon climbed over the treetops, dinner was finally ready.

The children had already received half a bowl of cabbage stew and a steamed bun, and sat down to eat.

The first bowl Wang Yingsheng served was served to Shen Qing, "This is a big pot of rice. I didn't cook it well. Girl, don't dislike it."

It's really hard to make big pot rice. If I hadn't found soy sauce and other ingredients from the Sun family's kitchen to adjust the color, it would have looked more like pig food, and it still looks like it now. But Shen Qing took it without hesitation, "I've been waiting all afternoon. I'll have breakfast." Yes, Sister Yingzi, then I won’t be polite.”

Seeing that she didn't dislike it, Wang Ying finally let go of her worries and said, "I'll serve Miss Luo another bowl."

"No, I'll go by myself." Luo Qin didn't have any taboos. She ran over there as if there was no one around, asked a woman for a bowl, and then went to serve the meal herself. Several men looked at her and didn't care.

Wang Wu hit the boys with chopsticks, "Eat your food, and if you look around again, be careful of your skin."

The ladies of several people came over and pinched their ears, "Are you allowed to look at the people around my boss?"

"You can't stare at my boss's girl either. She is our savior and a living Bodhisattva. From now on, you must treat her as your own mother and me. You must not have any second thoughts. Do you hear me?"

"That's right, from now on, the Shen family's affairs are everyone's business in Wangjiazhuang. Our lives are given by others, so we can't be ungrateful."

"Got it!" Several teenagers lowered their heads and responded, not even daring to raise their heads now.

Originally, they didn’t have any wild ideas, they were just taking a look!

Their lives were hard, and many of the older boys in Zhuangzi were unable to find wives.

My elder brothers can't get married, and my younger brothers can't even think about it.

All the adult girls in the village want to get married, but few want to stay in the village. As they come and go, there are more bachelors in the village.

Shen Qing only ate half of the bowl and then put it down. Shen Qi quickly made tea for her, "Master, what should we do with those people in the Sun family? Do you want to give them something to eat?"

Shen Qing thought for a while and said to Luo Qin: "Go and bring some food to the woman and the children. As for the others, just be hungry!"

"Okay!" Luo Qin got up and went.

Shen Qing glanced at the people still in the square again, and then he saw the old scholar who had arrived late. The old man was stooped, holding a crutch in his hand, and he took slow steps, looking like an old man.

She regretted it, how could such a person be the accountant, or she should find another one!

Wang Wu hurriedly asked someone to help the old scholar over, and explained to her embarrassedly, "He is slow in legs and feet. He rushed here after receiving the news and refused to let us carry him."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

After waiting for a full stick of incense, the old scholar finally walked up to her, tried his best to open a pair of eyes that were not cloudy, and stared at her inquiringly.

Shen Qing motioned to Shen Qi to move a chair for him, and Shen Qi placed the chair behind the old man and helped him sit down.

Wang Ying held a bowl of mutton soup and a steamed bun, "Uncle, eat something first."

Niu Niu also ran over and called him sweetly, "Grandpa!"

The old scholar's old-fashioned face finally had a smile, and he touched Niu Niu's head lovingly.Wang Ying called an older girl, took Niuniu away, and urged the old man to eat.

The old scholar drank the delicious mutton soup while observing Shen Qing, not knowing what he was looking at.

Shen Qing was not afraid of others looking at him. He looked back at the old man calmly with a slight smile on his face.

After he finally finished eating, Wang Ying quickly put away the bowls and chopsticks, and Shen Qi brought tea again, "Old sir, please have tea."

I don't know whether it was the mutton soup that had an effect, or whether the old man recovered. His waist slowly straightened, and his face became energetic.

"Are you... Shen Changgui's daughter from Xinghua Village?"

"Do you know my father?" This time it was Shen Qing's turn to be surprised.

The old scholar stroked his beard in an elegant manner, "More than ten years ago, I passed by your village. Your grandfather was still alive at that time, so he invited me in to sit for a while. You had just been born at that time, and I was the one who gave you your name. Woolen cloth!"

Shen Qing was even more surprised, "I really didn't know this."

"The breeze is coming slowly, and the water is calm. The original intention is that you will be in a peaceful state of mind, not easily shaken by the outside world, and have a firm mind. But looking at your current achievements, you are worthy of this word."

Shen Qing didn't know what to say. She didn't expect that she would meet an old scholar with whom she was destined here.

However, she is indeed a person who is impervious to waves, so just name her!That's all in the past, there's nothing more to say.

So he calmly returned to the topic.

"Old sir, you should also know that this Zhuangzi is now under my control. I just looked at the accounts kept by Sun Laowu, and they are really a mess. Now I need someone who can understand the accounts he wrote, and can sort them out and classify them again. Mr. Accountant, it's best to finish the tidying up within three days. Do you think... are you up to it?" She was very doubtful, guessing that the old man wouldn't be able to do it. First of all, his body couldn't bear it.

But the old scholar glared, "Little girl, don't look down on me. Although I am old, I can still do anything related to knowledge. Isn't it just calculating accounts? Bring me the account books." Let me see."

Shen Qi handed him the account book.

"Bring the oil lamp, too."

He can't see it!
"Come closer."

There was no other way, Shen Qi and Shen Qing moved the table and lit the oil lamp.

No, it was windy here, so they moved back to Sun's concierge.

He lit two oil lamps and turned the wicks brighter. It was not easy to satisfy the old man.

Shen Qing tried to ask: "Can you...can handle it?"

The old scholar glanced at her from the corner of his eye, "You're looking down on people, aren't you? Although I have failed in many attempts, it's because I'm not good at eight-part essays, but my arithmetic is excellent. It's just that I don't want to be in charge of those wealthy landlords." Look at their ugly faces!"

Seeing that she still looked suspicious, the old scholar was really angry and said, "Bring a pen and paper."

Shen Qi quickly brought in pen, ink, paper and inkstone and looked at it curiously.

The old scholar was slower than others, but he wrote quickly, and she knew how to learn it. So many years of learning were not in vain, so she quickly saw the way.

First of all, the old man's handwriting is good, and secondly, the ancient numbers are also clearly written, one stroke at a time, and soon the page is settled.

"You write and I'll do the calculations!" Shen Qing rolled up her sleeves and asked Shen Qi to bring her an abacus, which she carried with her every day.

The old man and the young man cooperated in a tacit understanding. (End of chapter)
