There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 199 Ready to Open (Part [-])
Xiang Dabao slipped out of bed, "I can't sleep, I'll go find Erbao, if that kid doesn't warn me, I'm afraid there will be big trouble."

Xiang Dabao's daughter-in-law pulled him, "You are so anxious to find him, he thought I deliberately provoked trouble in front of my family, I told you to let you remember things, not to let you Just go beat someone up. Just keep this matter in your mind, and talk about it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when you find a chance."

Xiang Dabao thought about it for a while, and then he didn't go, "You are right, he will think more about looking for him at this time."

……

In the evening of the next day, the brothers of the Xiang family came back from the field and were about to enter the gate when Chunya walked in carrying a basket filled with melons.

She smiled slightly and greeted the two brothers, "Brother Xiang, Er Bao. Are you back from the field?"

Xiang Erbao smiled foolishly, "That's right, you're going to look for Brother Luo Cheng again."

"My mother asked me to give some melons to Sister Jiao Niang and Brother Luo Cheng." Chun Ya smiled, waved her hand, and walked into the courtyard of Luo Cheng and Li Jiao's mother's house.

With a sullen face, Xiang Dabao dragged Xiang Erbao, who was looking up, into the yard, and closed the door with a "bang", "Come in, I have something to ask you."

Xiang Erbao was at a loss, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Xiang Dabao put the shovel on his shoulders on the ground, leaned on it with both hands, and squinted at Erbao, "Let me ask you, are you familiar with Luo Chunya?"

Embarrassed, Xiang Erbao murmured, "It's not..."

Xiang Dabao said with a cold face, "No? Why not greet people? His father is not a good person. Don't forget that her father once tried to steal Luo Cheng's donkey."

Said to Erbao, "Brother, it was Luo Feixiang and his brothers who stole the donkey. Didn't the matter be found out? Brother, why are you still talking about Father Chun?"

"Hmph, Father Chun is cunning. Luo Feixiang and his brother have suffered a secret loss. You are the only one who is confused and can't see it!"

Xiang Erbao shook his head, "No, big brother..."

"You still speak for his family? Have you forgotten that her father is still a gambler?" Xiang Dabao punched Xiang Erbao on the shoulder, "Let me tell you, we are not rich. If you want to find a wife, you can find a wife." A girl with a good family style, even if it is poor, such as your sister-in-law. Don't look for a money-loving and unreasonable girl like the Niu family, and don't look for a gambler's daughter like Luo Fucai. There is no one in the family who is rich and rich, and I can't afford to marry That kind!"

Seeing that his brother really lost his temper and didn't want to quarrel with him, Xiang Erbao sighed in his heart and nodded, "Got it."

"Don't just talk, you have to remember. The Niu family has just been sent away, and the family has just settled down. Don't make trouble anymore, the family is busy."

"Understood, brother."

……

Chunya came to Li Jiao's family.

She found that there were many lumps of wood in the front yard of Li Jiao's mother's house.

Chunya smiled and said, "Sister Jiao Niang, brother Luo Cheng, what are you doing?"

Luo Cheng was shortening the long log, raised his head and smiled slightly, "It's Chun Ya."

Li Jiaoniang moved a smaller piece of wood to the corner of the yard and put it down, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said with a smile, "I plan to transport some broken wood from the village to the tavern in the village market tomorrow." Here, polished into tables and chairs for eating wine."

Chunya admired Li Jiaoniang's ability very much, "Miss Jiaoniang knows everything." She put the basket in her hand on a tree stump in the yard, and smiled, "Mother told me to bring it, the local Freshly picked melons."

"Keep it for yourself, why bring it again?" Li Jiaoniang looked into the basket and found five or six melons.

Chunya smiled and said, "The melon seedlings have been rolled up in the garden, and the vines have been harvested. There are many of them. Where can I eat and play? It's a pity to save them if they are broken and wasted. Mother said, it's better to share them and eat them."

Li Jiaoniang wants to stay with Chun Ya for dinner
Chun Ya said that now is the season when she is busy picking watermelons, she is very busy every day, and she has to go home to help.

Li Jiaoniang didn't want to keep her, she went into the main room with a basket and picked out the melons one by one.

Chunya was looking around in the yard.

At this time, she saw a big dustpan in the corner of the yard, filled with some fluffy small fruits and some cicada shells.

She smiled and asked, "Sister Jiao Niang, what's the use of these?"

"Those are medicinal materials." Li Jiaoniang smiled, and handed the basket to her, "However, the purchase price of these two medicinal materials is not high. I picked these at random and kept them at home for later use."

Chun Ya wrote it down, even if the price is not high, it is still rich.

These two herbs can be found everywhere, and she plans to ask Chun Bao to learn how to collect them.

When they got home, Chunya immediately called Chunbao and taught him how to pick cocklebur fruit and beat cicadas.

"What's the use?" Chun Bao asked curiously, blinking his eyes.

"Sell money." Chunya narrowed her eyes, "You are a man, you can't always ask your mother and me for money, right? A man is indomitable, how can he always rely on women?"

Chun Bao raised his neck, "Well, I'm a man, and I want to make money by myself."

"Come on, it's not dark yet, I'll take you to find cocklebur."

It was only June, and there were not many cockleburs. The siblings walked a long way beside the field stalks, and only picked one bag.

However, Chunbao was very happy, because Chunya said that after drying and saving up, picking a little a day, there would be a lot in a month.

It can be sold for dozens of pennies.

Dozens of pennies are quite a fortune for a brat.

Seeing her children, who were ignorant before, now start talking about how to save money, Zhong feels very comforted.

But after a while, she became depressed again, and she scolded Luo Fucai in her heart.

The seven-year-old son knows how to make money, but the man in his 30s is wandering around all day and not doing business.

At this moment, I don't know where I have gone, and I haven't seen anyone for two days.

……

A few days later, Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng worked together to completely renovate the tavern.

Although the tables and chairs are simple to build, they look very classy after a varnish.

The tavern faces south from the north, and there was originally an open space on the right, which used to be used for people who rested their feet to park some mule carts, horse carts, and donkey carts.

Li Jiaoniang leveled the open space, built a shed, and placed a few tables and stools for people passing by in summer to cool off.

The place is free and she will provide herbal tea for free.

Once the popularity is attracted, there is no fear that the tavern's business will be bad.

As for the inside of the tavern, it has been vigorously remodeled.

Originally there were only three tables, but Li Jiaoniang added two more.

The two rooms on the second floor were repainted and used as guest rooms.

All the windows on the first floor were also removed, redone and repainted.

Li Jiaoniang hired a mason to demolish the old kitchen, and after plastering it with white lime, it was converted into an elegant room with a larger table.

Because it is an elegant room, the charges will be higher in the future.

The backyard is huge, about sixty steps horizontally and fifty steps vertically.

Li Jiaoniang built two houses in the backyard.

The large one is used as a kitchen, and the small one is used as a resting place for her and Luo Cheng.

When business is good, they don't go back to the village, but rest in the tavern.

In addition, a tile shed to keep out the rain was built for washing dishes and vegetables.

The sewage and latrines have all been reprocessed and arranged farther behind the tavern.

Get ready, and the rest is to pick a date and officially open for business.

The market in the village is not filled with customers every day, and they have to wait to go to the market.

Two days before the market, Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng took the time to plant the seedlings at home in the paddy field, and set up a frame for the cucumber seedlings and carob seedlings that grew vines.

After weeding and fertilizing the vegetable field, the two bought some vegetables in the village, pulled them in a carriage, and rushed to the tavern to prepare for the official opening the next day.

Luo Cheng was worried that Li Jiaoniang would not be able to handle the work of many people alone, so he wrote a sign to recruit a buddy and hung it at the door of the tavern.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "I don't know how many people will come today, why invite people?"

"You have to hire someone. You are busy cooking and washing vegetables all by yourself, how can you be so busy?"

"Then there's no need to recruit so many people, we don't have enough money, what should we do?"

On the sign that Luo Cheng hung up, it said ten people were recruiting!

"I'm paid for hunting." He answered very straightforwardly.

Li Jiaoniang shook her head, she couldn't compete, so let him go.

Just when Li Jiaoniang turned around, someone at the door of the shop smiled and said, "Luo Cheng, your family is recruiting workers, do you think it's okay if I sign up?"

"If you recruit ten people, count me in."

Li Jiaoniang heard the chatter and laughter, and hurried to the door to have a look.

It turned out that it was Xiang Da Niang and his wife, and Xiang Erbao.

A family of three dressed in new clothes, as if visiting relatives somewhere.

"It's uncle and aunt, come in and have a seat." Li Jiaoniang greeted him with a smile, "Where are you and your family going?"

This early in the morning, the family came in a bullock cart, and there was a basket on the bullock cart, which contained some brand-new fabrics and two pairs of new shoes.
