Chapter 106 Section 115

Tang shi said whatever he wanted, but Anxiu didn't let go.In the end, she went back with an extremely ugly face.Anxiu shook her head helplessly, it takes time to save face.My daughter's wedding dress, I want someone else to do it for me, who the hell!
As soon as the Duanyang Festival was over, He Jiangsheng went to the market to buy [-] ducklings.

Li Lamei wanted to sell her ducklings to He Jiangsheng, but the price was five cents higher. He Jiangsheng didn't counter the price, and he didn't let go, he just didn't want her ducklings.If it is said that not letting her raise ducks together is a grudge, and not buying her ducklings is really a grudge.

It is said that He Musheng and his wife kept hundreds of ducklings at home, and forced each family in the village to buy a few of the rest, but the price was five cents lower than the market price.Some people were greedy for cheap, and some people couldn't bear face, so they all bought her.

I bought hundreds of them in the Zhuangzi, and the rest were taken to her natal Zhuangzi to sell.After tossing and tossing, dozens of ducks died. It was really a loss for my wife and soldiers.Li Lamei has lived for more than ten years, and has never suffered such a big loss, and there is a lot of resentment in her heart.

Wang Jiayan's greenhouse was built in ten days, and Anxiu asked someone to go to Jishang to help her find a master to teach her.Wang Jiayan is smart, and she learned it together with He Juan. She mastered it as soon as she learned it, but He Juan couldn't understand the essentials no matter what.

Duck eggs were produced at home, and He Jiangsheng told Wang Jiayan, "Don't worry, we're not afraid of wasting money!"

Wang Jiayan burst into tears with gratitude.

Anxiu knows that hatching ducks requires skill.And skills often need to be summed up in failure, so she didn't use her abilities to help Wang Jiayan.

It takes 28 days for duck eggs to hatch.For the first hatching, neither Wang Jiayan nor He Juan dared to spend a lot of money, and only used two hundred duck eggs. After 28 days, only 50.00 ducklings hatched, with a survival rate of [-]%, which made Wang Jiayan and He Juan very frustrated.

After Li Lamei heard the news, she gloated and said that Wang Jiayan was the disaster star.Even those who haven't learned how to hatch ducks can't destroy so many duck eggs.

Hearing these gossips, Wang Jiayan was sad for several days.He Juan was so angry that if it wasn't for Mrs. Li, she would have gone to find Li Lamei desperately.

Anxiu comforted Wang Jiayan: "Sister-in-law, artificial hatching requires skill, which is different from duck hatching. Don't take what brother Mu and his wife say. In the past, my brother Jiang ruined his fish farming once, and the people in Zhuangzi said it was wrong." It's like something. But look at him, he doesn't care about anything, and just does his own thing. Who doesn't envy him in Hejiazhuang now?"

Wang Jiayan burst out laughing.

For many days, it was rare to make her laugh.He Jiangsheng gave An Xiu a grateful look.

The daughter-in-law hatches eggs, the son raises ducks, and only the second uncle and second aunt are left to do the family's crops.Anxiu advised them that if He Jiangsheng's duck shed was in good condition and Wang Jiayan's duck seedlings would become large, the old couple might as well stop farming and go to the market to rent a shop and sell duck seedlings and duck eggs.

When the second aunt heard this, she felt that An Xiu's proposal was very reliable, and they started discussing it when the family had dinner.

The second uncle felt uneasy, and said slowly: "Our family has been farming for several lifetimes, and has never done business. Besides, it is shameless to run to become a businessman instead of farming a good field!"

In ancient times, farming had more face than businessmen.When many officials retired from their old age and returned to their hometowns, the first thing they did was to buy fields and land; many businessmen made a fortune, and more money was also invested in land.In this day and age, land is a security.He Youfu's mind is not far away, he only thinks about the things in front of him.

When he said this, Li Shi also hesitated.

He Jiangsheng coughed and said with a smile: "Father, there is nothing shameful in doing business, just take it easy. If our ducklings cannot be sold by themselves, they will be sold to a duckling shop and be exploited by others. Business is like growing crops, there will always be droughts and floods, how can we not write about setbacks? You said that we have never done business before, but we have gone to the market to buy things, don’t you have a reason?”

He Jiangsheng has always thought about going into business in the future.Now the duck shed has just started to improve, and he can't leave by himself. When it becomes large-scale, he can go into business by himself if he asks someone to take care of it.Go to your parents first to make small troubles, to support the business, without any delay.

He Youfu and Li Shi also felt that He Jiangsheng's words were reasonable, but they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

It was Wang Jiayan who spoke up: "Jiang Sheng, half of the first batch of duck eggs in my greenhouse has been destroyed, and it will take some time for the second batch to hatch. Can we talk about opening a shop later? Once the edge has stabilized, it’s not too late to open a shop again.”

"This batch of ducklings are ready to be sold!" He Jiangsheng was very insistent, and he persuaded them one by one, "My duck shed can be supplemented with ducks until the next batch. There must be a lot of hatching this time, barn swallow, don't worry." Disappointed, it was the first hatching last time, and I didn't understand many skills, so naturally it was ruined a lot, but this time it's different."

Seeing that He Jiangsheng was very persistent, Wang Jiayan smiled and did not continue to object.

He Youfu and Li Shi no longer obstructed their son's plan, they said they would visit the shop in a few days.

He Jiangsheng thought for a while before he smiled and said, "Let's wait for two months. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn grain in the fields has been harvested, and the fields can be rented out; the ducklings thrown in now can also be sold. The greenhouse of the barn swallows has gradually become a scale."

The whole family nodded and said it was a good idea.

Early July is the time for harvesting early rice and planting late rice. It is the busiest season of the year, commonly known as double grabbing.

He Jiangsheng's duck shed cannot be separated from people all day long, and Wang Jiayan and He Juan are gradually getting better in the greenhouse.In the second batch of 170 duck eggs, more than [-] duck eggs hatched.The aunt and sister-in-law were very happy, and they slapped the gossiper severely.

The family's more than ten acres of land are all worked by the second uncle and the second aunt.Anxiu discussed with Li Huzi, and asked them to help Er Bo's family get it out first.Li Huzi said yes, they will do whatever the boss tells them to do.The second uncle and the second aunt hurriedly said that it was too polite, and they insisted on paying short-term wages.

Anxiu disagreed, because she paid for these long-term workers, and there was no need to double pay.The second aunt still spent money, bought ten catties of pork, and caught two chickens for the long-term workers, as a thank you.Anxiu was afraid that the crowd would not accept it, so she asked Li Huzi to secretly wrap red envelopes for them.

However, everyone is satisfied with thirty Wen per person.

The second uncle's family is busy with the fields, and the second uncle and the second aunt insist on helping the long-term workers harvest Anxiu's rice.Anxiu couldn't feel ashamed of them, so she had to agree.The second uncle and the long-term workers cut rice, picked rice, and plowed the field, while Anxiu, the second aunt, and He Youbao pulled the rice seedlings.

When they were sitting together, Second Aunt suddenly said to An Xiu: "Xiu, last night our family discussed something."

"What? Agreed to rent a shop in Jishang to sell ducklings?" Anxiu laughed.After the last proposal, she didn't follow up.It was just casually saying that the second uncle's family has their own life plans, and she has no right to intervene.But when you think of a good idea and say it, it's just a matter of one sentence.She didn't expect Erbo's family to take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, the second aunt smiled and said: "When I went to open the shop, it was already decided. Since I am going to Jishang, my family's field has to be rented out. Your second uncle and I are not at ease to rent to outsiders, for fear that they will ruin the land. The soil quality of my house. Xiu, how about giving it to you?"

When Anxiu heard this, her brows were filled with joy, she was even happier than doing things herself, and she couldn't help laughing: "It's okay to give me the land. Second Aunt, have you found a suitable shop? Actually, if you really want to open a shop, it's better to go to Youji. Wang Ji is a small set, not as good as You Ji. Please tell Er Bo and Brother Jiang about this."

Mrs. Li nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Jiang said that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will sell ducks for a season before we talk about opening a shop. I'm just going to tell you the truth. When we really start to rent a shop, we'll discuss the farm in detail. "

Anxiu nodded and said yes.

People who pass by Anxiu's barren fields every day will be shocked.It is unbelievable that the rice grown in such a field is better than that of the first-class good fields.Many people gave Li Huzi money and asked him the secret of farming.Since Anxiu has made up his mind to buy such a barren field, and can grow such good food, there must be a secret.

Li Huzi didn't dare to accept it, and told Anxiu all these things one by one.

Anxiu couldn't laugh or cry.Nima's field is well grown, in addition to soil quality, secrets, and supernatural powers, if you tell them, can they make supernatural powers?

In the end, the [-] mu of barren land in Anxiu yielded much more rice per mu than other people's fertile land.Some began to ask Li Huzi and others secretly, and then openly asked Anxiu for advice.

Anxiu knew that if she didn't give a reason, these people wouldn't let it go, and might learn something secretly and cause unnecessary trouble to her long-term workers, so she made up a random one, saying that she bought oil residue as fertilizer.

Sesame, peanut, and rapeseed oil are all left with oily grains.Many oil mills sell this kind of stuff cheaply.Anxiu didn't know if this kind of thing was good for the rice, but he knew that it was definitely not bad.Moreover, although oily grains are cheap, they are rare.A lot of rapeseed, only a little bit of oil left after oil extraction.

Everyone got this secret and went to buy oily grains one after another, causing the supply of oily grains to fall short of demand and the price to skyrocket.Originally, when farmers went to squeeze oil, they didn't need oily grains.Later, they asked the oil workshop to return the item to them.This thing is not very useful to the oil shop. They are not rare, so they gave it to customers, just muttering why they want it, and they can't eat it.

When Anxiu found out about this later, she just smiled.I can't blame her for being wicked, it's just that these people are too eager for quick success and can't see the good of others.Always think that what others can do, they can do too.As everyone knows, there are supernatural forces in this world.You can't say you haven't seen something you haven't seen!

This July, it was extremely hot.

During the last few days of busy farming, An Xiu was worried that the long-term workers would suffer from heat stroke, so she kept worrying about it.I went to the Chen Family Baicaotang in Wangji, and bought premium licorice, honeysuckle, prunella vulgaris and other herbal teas. Each bowl was fried with He Yuer and dropped into the well.

The temperature in the well is relatively low. After falling in the well for one night, when you drink it the next day, it is very cool, as refreshing as iced ones.Anxiu was going to work in the field herself, so she asked Yu'er to pull it up from the well at noon and send it to the field.The long-term workers all said that it was delicious, like ice water, and it quenched the heat and quenched the thirst.

In the days of "double grabbing", many people suffered from heat stroke, but Anxiu's family and long-term workers were all in good shape.Speaking of these, Li Huzi and others praised Anxiu behind his back for his carefulness and good brains.The most important thing is to be willing to spend money to buy good Chinese medicine.

He Shusheng's school was also unbearably hot, and the only well was overwatered and dried up.There is no way, the old master will give them ten days off.

When he came back this time, Anxiu didn't dare to cook beef and chicken for him, for fear of heatstroke.Just remembered that duck meat is cold, so I went to He Jiangsheng's duck shed, caught a duck every day, and gave cash.

He Jiangsheng shook his head with a smile: "Xiu, this duck shed belongs to both of us. If you eat your own food, you still have to pay for it?"

Anxiu also smiled: "Yes, the duck shed belongs to both of us, not me alone, so of course we have to pay. If the second uncle and the second aunt want to eat, there is no need to pay, it is considered filial to us juniors. Brother Jiang , the weather is hot these few days, and the ducks are cold, so catch a few of them and go back to replenish your health." After finishing speaking, he handed the money to He Jiangsheng without any explanation.

He Jiangsheng couldn't say no to her, so he had to accept it.Thinking of Anxiu's words, it was too hot during this time, the whole family sweated a lot and took a lot of energy.Don't dare to eat pork and chicken at this time. Eating warm meat during the hot summer is easy to get sick.

According to An Xiuyi, He Jiangsheng really caught two ducks and went back.When the second aunt heard that Anxiu had given the money, she also took out the money from the two ducks and told He Jiangsheng to keep it on the account.

After the busy farming season, the weather is still hot.

Many people are exhausted during double grabbing, and they really want to eat some meat to make up for their birthdays. Duck meat is the best choice.Anxiu preached that duck meat can be cleared from fire and so on. For a while, many people went to He Jiangsheng's duck shed to catch ducks.

The last time the ducks were sold to people in the village, many of them didn't pay any money, which made He Jiangsheng very depressed.This time someone came to pay on credit again, and He Jiangsheng couldn't find an excuse for a while, so he had to accept credit, but his face was frowning.It happened that An Xiu also came to catch ducks in the evening, so he told An Xiu about it.

When An Xiu heard this, she laughed immediately: "Isn't this easy? You don't own this duck shed alone. I will hide tomorrow, so you can use my reputation to say that An Xiu has spoken, and you won't get credit!"

He Jiangsheng smiled apologetically: "Why are you so embarrassed?"

Anxiu shook her head: "Why are you embarrassed? Are you embarrassed to use my reputation or not to use credit? Brother Jiang, we are not running a charity hall. Aren't you going to do business? Business people can put their interests first. The interests are gone. , People can’t survive anymore, what kind of business are you doing? Don’t be embarrassed!”

He Jiangsheng thought for a second that An Xiu's words were indeed reasonable, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll use you as a shield!"

From the second day onwards, many people who wanted to take advantage of it and beat the ducks for nothing, but they didn't get any benefits, went back angrily, and all said bad things about He Jiangsheng, saying that doing a little deed now would break their conscience.

When Mrs. Li heard these words, she said to He Jiangsheng: "You folks in the village, why don't you be accommodating? Now people say that you have broken your conscience, and my mother feels very uncomfortable."

On the contrary, Wang Jiayan took it easy and comforted Li with a smile: "Mother, you can't say that! We didn't take advantage of others, how could we break our conscience? We just wanted to take advantage of us, but we didn't take advantage of it, and we even said ours Bad words. If so, let them have their say, we have a clear conscience."

He Jiangsheng also laughed: "Mother, what Jiayan said is right, we didn't do anything wrong to anyone, we are not afraid of the shadow, we just let them say it!"

It was just an unpleasant episode, and the business of selling ducks in summer was still booming.Because it was sold in Zhuangzi, He Jiangsheng was still cheaper at three Wen per catty. People in the nearby Zhuangzi got the letter, and many rushed over to buy it.

Throughout July, more than 200 adult ducks in the duck shed were sold.He Jiangsheng's ducks grew so fast, everyone was surprised at first, but later they got used to it.Some people say that they eat snails, and the snail meat is nutritious; some people say that there are many small fish and water insects in the pond, so it is easy to raise ducks;

No one believes in supernatural powers.

For things that they cannot understand and cannot explain, the ancient Chinese used Feng Shui or luck to explain.Just like Anxiu's rice, many people say that Anxiu's yard has good Fengshui and her ancestors blessed her.

Although summer is hot, it is also short, and it will be August in a blink of an eye.The autumn wind drove away the heat with a hint of coolness.

On the first day of August, Anxiu went to the county seat as usual to see how the rice shop was doing.

Ling Erhu took out the account book and showed it to An Xiu, while he pursed his lips and remained silent, holding his own thoughts in his heart.

Anxiu looked at it, took a deep breath, and smiled after a long while: "Business in July is three times better than in April, Erhu, you are really amazing!"

Ling Erhu rubbed his hands and laughed, "Boss, I don't dare to take your compliment. The rice you sent is all the best. The rice that comes out is better than all the rice shops in a county. There are a lot of them. People who have eaten once have become our regular customers. Last time, the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou told me that many customers asked which shop they bought their rice from after eating."

Zuixianlou is a small restaurant in the county seat, and they are Ling Erhu's first customers, and they have a very good relationship.Ling Erhu vaguely said several times, every time the rice given to Zuixianlou is always cheaper.He also asked what Anxiu meant.

Anxiu is a shopkeeper who completely throws his hands away, saying that he does not participate in business matters, and Ling Erhu decides the business strategy by himself.It is precisely because Anxiu gave Ling Erhu the space to fully display that his abilities can be fully tapped out.

"It's good, our shop has gained a firm foothold!" An Xiu laughed.

Ling Erhu smiled, as if he had something to say and didn't know where to start.

Seeing his expression, Anxiu couldn't help laughing and said, "What else do you want to tell me?"

Anxiu opened his mouth, and Ling Erhu immediately said: "Boss, I really want to tell you something. There is a good rice shop in the east of our county, but the business is not very good. The housekeeper of a big family came last time To buy rice, I asked if our shop could also open a branch in the east of the city. Coming from the east of the city is very troublesome. I also went to the east of the city to have a look. There are five rice shops, two of which are time-honored. It is small, but the best rice is not as good as ours, and the price is even higher. I think..."

"You want to open a semicolon!" Anxiu laughed, admiring Ling Erhu's ambition very much.

"Boss, this is a good opportunity!" Ling Erhu hurriedly said, afraid that Anxiu would disagree, "Recently our Anji rice is booming, and our supply of goods can keep up. No loss!"

"It seems that you didn't say this impulsively, you saw the situation clearly." Anxiu clapped her hands on the tabletop and slapped it one after another.Although Ling Erhu was very sure, she didn't know whether she would not be able to take care of it if she just opened a account when she just started doing business.

After all, her rice shop is not considered a mature business!

Although Anxiu affirmed Ling Erhu's words, his expression was hesitant, as if it was difficult to make a decision. Ling Erhu said again: "Master, am I too impatient? If you are really worried, let's deal with this matter first." Let it go, let's talk about it after a year?"

Anxiu didn't speak, but she was thinking about it in her mind, and said after a while, "Er Hu, how much does it cost to rent a shop in our county town for a year?"

As soon as Ling Erhu heard this, he knew that there was something to be done, and hurriedly said: "Master, I have inquired about it. I am looking for a lively shop in the east of the city. The rent is 70 taels a year; for a colder shop, 50 taels a year." .”

Adding the rent of the shop and all kinds of usual expenses, even if the branch earns a penny a year, it is only worth a few hundred taels of silver.Besides, apart from manpower, Anxiu's rice does not cost money.She was doing business without capital, and if she lost money, it was only a small amount of money. She immediately smiled and said, "Take 200 taels of silver from the cabinet later, go to the best shop in the east of the city, and recruit some smart guys. Say it, I'll bring you food."

Ling Erhu was so happy that he jumped up and kowtowed: "Master, don't worry, I won't let you lose money!"

The lofty ambitions in his heart finally had the opportunity to display.

Anxiu smiled, and said again: "The semicolon sends a few clerks and accountants, and you are the shopkeeper. You still get [-]% of the net harvest at the end of the year. Work hard, I won't treat you badly!"

Ling Erhu was stunned, he didn't expect An Xiu to say such a thing.He wanted to open a semicolon. Apart from wanting to repay his kindness and earn more money for Anxiu, he also had his own ideal to expand the business and make Anji Rice Shop the largest rice shop in Suqu County and a famous brand.

Unexpectedly, Anxiu would give him a share.Ling Erhu hurriedly explained: "Boss, I want to open a semicolon, not for sharing..."

Anxiu got up and patted him on the shoulder: "From now on, no matter how many semicolons we open, I'll still share it with you! Tell me again when there is a suitable opportunity, as long as three points are reliable, I will support you to continue doing it. Two Tiger, work hard, you will stand out!"

Ling Erhu felt that the corners of his eyes were moist, he didn't speak, but nodded heavily.

Anxiu drove the ox cart home slowly, thinking in her heart that if there was a chance, she would buy a horse cart, at least it would be much faster than the ox cart.

On the way back, when he was going to pass Youji, Anxiu stopped, put the ox cart at the end, gave some money to the peddler next to him, and asked him to look after it for him.

The livestock markets are all on South Street, and Anxiu made several detours to get there.

As soon as she walked to South Street, she heard someone calling her, "Miss An?"

The voice came from a high place, Anxiu looked up subconsciously, there was a restaurant across the street, and a black figure was lying on the third floor, looking at her.

Facing the light, Anxiu couldn't tell who it was, so she couldn't help but narrowed her eyes, blocking half an inch of sunlight with her hands.The man couldn't help laughing: "Miss An, why are you here?"

Only then did Anxiu realize that it was the Third Young Master Huo, and hurriedly laughed from a distance, "Third Young Master!"

Together, Huo San stepped under the window on the third floor, jumped, and was already in front of Anxiu in an instant.Anxiu applauded: "Third Young Master is very skilled!"

Huo San cupped his hands: "Miss An is over the prize!"

Anxiu looked at him, there seemed to be something different, and a flash of inspiration happened by chance, the plume white robe on his body was embroidered by He Yuer, so she couldn't help but take a second look.

"Why, doesn't it look good?" Seeing An Xiu looking at his clothes, Third Young Master Huo hurriedly asked.

"No, no, it's very nice. The clothes are ordinary, and they look good on the Third Young Master." An Xiu laughed, "It's just that I didn't expect to wear them for real. Your usual clothes are more expensive than this one. You are flattering us!"

"Whether the clothes are expensive or not, they are dead things. What to wear depends on your mood!" Huo San smiled, "I haven't met a girl in Youji for a long time, why are you here today? Today is not a fair!"

Seeing the intimacy he said, Anxiu didn't hide it from him, and told him about the shop she was looking for, maybe he could give her some advice.

Huo San thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Most of the shops on South Street belong to my family. If there is any spare time, I will go back and ask the housekeeper. Our second room is in charge of these things."

Anxiu was stunned, she couldn't think of such a coincidence, and hurriedly said: "Third Young Master, you must ask me to see if I can rent a better shop. In terms of rent, it is as much as you want, as long as the shop is good! If three Young master helped me this favor, Anxiu must thank you very much."

Huo San sighed slightly, didn't answer for a while, just looked at her quietly, a little absent-minded.

Seeing her like this, An Xiu's heart skipped a beat. He saw that his expression was very strange, sometimes he was in a daze, and sometimes he was disappointed, as if he knew someone who was very similar to An Xiu.When he found that Anxiu was similar to the person in his memory, he was in a trance, just like this moment.

But most of the time, he will try and be disappointed.

"Thank you very much later, wait for me to go back and ask. If there is a result, I will let the boy go to Hejiazhuang and tell Ms. An, is it possible?" Huo San smiled lightly, remembered something, and said again, "Miss An, do you like crabapple flowers? The begonias bloom very beautifully this season. I know a place where the garden is full of crabapple flowers of various varieties, which are very beautiful."

Anxiu is an ordinary person who doesn't know how to appreciate flowers and plants. Hearing what he said, he could only smile apologetically: "Sir, I like crabapples very much. But look, it's getting late. If I go back late, my father-in-law will Be anxious! The old man is getting old, so you can’t always make him worry.”

"Miss An is a filial person!" Although Huo San was a little disappointed, he didn't force her, and smiled, "Then let's do it another day!"
