The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 35 Shen Xie's First Cooperation

"Uncle Bai, do you think the bread you made earlier is delicious?"

Bai Ming looked at the cutie in front of him, and replied, "It's delicious."

"Can you make money if you sell it?" Shen Xuan continued to ask.

Bai Ming fell into deep thought. Generally speaking, it is rare to buy food from rich families, and it is all cooked by his own cook.But this bread is really delicious, especially for the elderly with bad teeth. The big family shows their filial piety all day long, so it should be a hot seller.I didn't expect the villain in front of me to pay such attention.

Shen Xuan looked at Bai Ming who was standing there motionless, and accompanied him helplessly. When Bai Ming came back to his senses, her legs were sore from standing.Leave a sentence, "It's almost time, change back to the restaurant." Then he walked away.

Just as Bai Ming wanted to talk about bread with Shen Xuan, he was interrupted by Shen Xuan's lukewarm words, and reluctantly followed behind to the restaurant.

When we returned to the private room in the restaurant, we found that everyone had already returned.Shen Xuan successfully attracted everyone's attention, no, to be precise, it was Bai Ming behind Shen Xuan who caught everyone's attention: a big man with a bunch of various snacks in his arms.Seeing everyone's eyes on his arms, Bai Ming finally realized, no wonder he always felt that everyone looked at him strangely when he came back.Shen Xuan shared the snacks with everyone.The Zhu family brothers from Liangde Pharmacy were also there. After greeting each other, everyone gathered to chat. Zhu Xiaogong Zhu Wenxiang directly held Shen Xuan's hand and did not let go.Shen Xuan knew that Dad and the others had already found a small courtyard close to the academy, with 4 rooms and an annual rent of 10 taels, mainly for cleanliness, and 5 taels for each family.Father Shen spent another 15 taels to buy a carriage for the children to go home, money is generous; Zhou and the others didn't buy anything.

When it was getting dark, Uncle Shen brought a group of five brothers and sisters from the Zhao family to the restaurant.This was the first time Shen Xuan saw Miss Zhao: her black hair was combed neatly, and a silver hairpin was inserted on her head.A pair of bright eyes flashed under the eyebrows, revealing the light of intelligence.Shen Xuan knew that it was specially dressed, and through introductions, she knew that the people next to her were Zhao's elder brother and sister-in-law, as well as her 5-year-old nephew Zhao Hu.Through chatting with Shen Xuan, she knew that Ms. Zhao was worthy of her uncle, and she would be able to help him manage the house in the future. She is a good wife.When we arrived at Shenshi, we heard someone outside shouting that it was about to start, and everyone went together.

The annual Qiqiao Festival is the most popular day.On this day, no matter young or old, men or women can come to the town to have a look.Relax and take a break.In the Qiqiao Festival of this dynasty, there was worship of the Weaver Girl.Thanks Kuixing.There are customs such as eating Qiaoguo, and the county organizes these activities every year.Put a table under the moonlight on both sides of the river, and put tea on the table.liquor.fruit.Wuzi (longan. Red dates. Hazelnuts. Peanuts, melon seeds) and other offerings; there are also a few flowers, bunches of red paper, put them in a bottle, and a small incense burner in front of the flowers.Those young women who made an appointment to worship Zhinu on this side.Girls, after burning incense and praying before the case, everyone sat around the table together, eating peanuts and melon seeds, while facing the Vega constellation, and meditating on their own thoughts.For example, girls hope to be beautiful or marry a good man.Young women who hope to have a baby early can pray silently to Vega.Scholars on the other side of the river who want to gain fame are worshiping Kuixing and praying for him to bless their luck in the exam. The brothers of the Zhu family are there with their elder brothers; happy match.When everyone goes back, they will buy some Qiaoguo to bring back to family members who have not been here. The so-called Qiaoguo is also known as "Qiaoguo". There are many styles, and the main material is oily molasses.

Shen Xuan looked around and was not interested and decided to go back to the restaurant to wait for them, and Bai Ming followed.Today's restaurant is also very busy, full of seats.Shopkeeper Bai sneaked over to chat with Shen Xuan for a while, mainly asking about the recipe of the bread.Shen Xuan didn't make things difficult for Shopkeeper Bai, and handed him a piece of paper directly.Shopkeeper Bai had a rich expression on his face after receiving the paper.

"This?" Shopkeeper Bai felt like a hot potato holding the piece of paper.

"Uncle Bai, you can write to Brother Wuyou, I'm not in a hurry."

Shopkeeper Bai looked at Shen Xuan who was sitting there drinking water, and knew that the other party would not say anything more.I put away the paper in my hand, opened the door and left, and decided to write to inquire.After the shopkeeper Bai walked away, Bai Ming said, "Miss, I already knew that the other party would ask for a recipe for bread?"

"do not know."

"Then what do you do?" I don't know why the contract was prepared long ago.

Looking at Bai Ming's suspicious eyes, Shen Xuan had no choice but to say, "I really don't know. I planned to discuss this matter with Shopkeeper Bai today, but I didn't expect him to ask first." I wrote the proposal, but I didn't expect it to be really used today.

"What kind of request did the lady write, and shopkeeper Bai can't be the master?" It's just that Fangzi gave money with one hand and gave Fangzi with the other, wouldn't it be fine, using shopkeeper Bai's disheveled face?Bai Ming was very curious.

"The secret must not be leaked." Can Shen Xuan say that she wrote it nonsense without thinking that the other party would agree?Obviously not.

After that, the two of them silently drank tea and ate cakes and waited for everyone to come back. It was almost Xushi when everyone came back.Everyone was tired after playing for a day, so they were ready to go back by car.Father Shen went to the stable to drive the car, and everyone stood waiting outside the restaurant. Zhu Wenxiang stuck to Shen Xuan, and discussed with his brother Zhu Wensheng that he wanted to take the little sister home, which made everyone stand in the dark and laugh.After finally dismissing Zhu Wenxiang, everyone left.When we got home, everyone washed up and went to bed. This year's Qiqiao Festival is over.

On the second night after the Qiqiao Festival, a letter from Shatu Town was rushed to the hands of Third Young Master Xie.At that time, Xie Wuyou had just returned to his room from his father's study, and was just about to take a bath when he heard a knock on the door.After putting on his clothes, he opened the door, and saw A Liang standing there, and said in a stiff tone, "What's the matter?"

"Master, the letter just arrived from Shatu Town." The servant hurriedly handed the letter to Xie Wuyou.The boy also knew that he shouldn't disturb the young master's rest in the middle of the night, but the young master specifically told him to report the news from Shatu Town as soon as possible.

As soon as Xie Wuyou heard the letter from Shatu Town, he quickly took it, opened the envelope, and the handwriting of shopkeeper Bai came into view. The letter mentioned the bread and asked if he could cooperate.Xie Wuyou sent the boy away after reading the letter, and sat in the room without sleep all night thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.The first batch of watermelons was transported to Kyoto, and he made a lot of money, selling for 80 yuan a catty, which was doubled.In the end, sensibility prevailed over rationality, and he signed his name and stamped his handprint on Shen Xuan's unequal contract, and he was willing to believe that the little girl would surprise him again.At dawn, Xie Wuyou ordered someone to send the newly sealed letter back to Shatu Town.

In the blink of an eye, it was July 7th. Mrs. Zhou got up early and boiled some eggs for Brother Qiu, put on new clothes, and cleaned up. Today is Brother Qiu's class.In the past few days, everyone in the village knew that the four grandsons of Lizheng's family were going to study. They all came to the house to confirm that the four brothers became big news in the village.After they finished their meal, they moved the daily necessities they had packed up to the car, arranged for Lei Kui and Bai Ming to follow them there to take care of them, and gave Bai Ming 10 taels of silver before they left in case they needed it.There are few people missing in the family, and I feel very empty in my heart.Shen Xuan is not used to the lack of elder brother by her side, but fortunately, such days will soon pass.
