The Huang family was originally a third-class household, and Xia Hui was considered a well-matched household when she married.However, Huang Hui's officials are open-minded and have made many friends, whether they are romantic and elegant Confucian scholars, Juren, or treacherous local ruffians, he has made friends with people from all walks of life.

Huang Hui's officials sold their family's field and bought a piece of hill to grow tea. The tea produced by Huang's family is not as famous as other producing areas, and the tea is not high-quality. Naturally, the business cannot reach the scale of a famous tea merchant. But even so, relying on the relationship of these friends, his tea business finally started, and the Huang family's life is getting better and better.

Huang's family moved to live in the city, and Xia Hui rarely had the opportunity to return to Xia's family, but would send a greeting to someone during the holidays.

When Old Man Xia was worried about Xia Luojin's study, he thought of seeking help from the Huang family, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he just let it go.Later Xia Luojin went to the city to study, and Xia Da asked Xia Hui's eldest son Huang Lingyun to take care of him. Although Huang Lingyun agreed, he turned his head and forgot about Xia Luojin.

The Huang family had no obligation to help them, and Xia Da couldn't hold the Huang family accountable for this, but he couldn't get close to their family members in his heart.

A few years ago, tea merchants from other places sprang up suddenly, and many good teas hit the tea market in Fuzhou, causing the Huang family's tea business to gradually decline.Huang Hui's official died of illness again, and her two sons didn't manage their contacts carefully, so there were not many people who could help them when something happened.

But now the Huang family's tea business is not clear to the members of the Xia family.

Although Xia Hui is Old Man Xia's younger sister, the relationship fades after years of inactivity. He would not decide Xia Jiniang's life for Xia Da because of Huang Hui, so he pushed the matter to Xia Da.

After Xia Da answered Xia Hui's words, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. Besides, what he was thinking about was about Xia Jiniang and Zhang He, so how could he easily agree to Xia Hui's marriage proposal?

He said: "Auntie, Brother Yu is twenty one this year, right?"

Xia Hui nodded, and he said again: "Could it be that my aunt didn't propose marriage for him in the early years?"

"Hey, I said it, but we found that the young lady of that family was disrespectful, so we resigned." Xia Hui said, "Also, you said that the young lady in this city must not be able to work if she is spoiled. Could it be that she wants to support her when she gets married?"

Xia Cui's words were still echoing in Zhang He's mind, and when Xia Hui said these words, her face immediately darkened, and she interjected: "Auntie, does it mean that she wants to marry my Ji Niang back to do laundry and cooking? "

No one ever thought that Xia Cui's family would suddenly attack, the tone was too aggressive, which made Xia Hui unhappy.Old man Xia frowned and scolded: "Ah Tao's family, how did you talk to the elders?"

Xia Hui said with a smile: "Isn't this woman married to her husband's family to help her husband teach her children, take care of the housework, bear children and carry on the family line? Do you dare to say that I am wrong in front of the Xia family's ancestors?"

Xia Cuishi still wanted to refute, Xia Da and Xia Jiniang held her down, and Xia Jiniang persuaded: "Mother, don't be impulsive."

Xia Cui's face was cold, and she glared at Xia Da: "I will not agree to let Ji Niang marry into Huang's family!"

"When is it your turn to speak here?!" Xia Hui also raised her face.

Xia Da looked at Xia Hui, and said meekly: "Auntie, the so-called lifelong affairs of children need to be 'the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker', today Auntie and Brother Yu are really abrupt, I need to think about this matter, I can't Yes."

Xia Hui snorted and said, "Then I'll invite a matchmaker to come back another day!"

Xia Hui and Huang Yu left, and Second Aunt Xia, who had had enough of seeing the excitement, persuaded Xia Dao: "Uncle, I didn't mean you, the Huang family and the Xia family are in-laws, and Brother Yu is also very handsome. He is still the only son in the family, if he marries the aunt, the aunt will only live a good life."

"That's right. After all, my aunt doesn't care about how little dowry my aunt has. The Huang family is also a wealthy family. It won't be hard for my aunt to marry there." Xia Er also said.

"I said I will not discuss it at this time, so you don't have to talk about it!" Xia Dao said.

Although Xia Da sent Xia Hui away for the time being, it was inevitable that she would really bring a matchmaker to her door next time, and then it would be really hard for him to refuse this marriage.Xia Cuishi said to him: "Your aunt came suddenly, there is something strange, you can't agree to her!"

"I know, but I can't just let you delay like this!" Xia Da was no less troubled than Xia Cuishi.

"How about we talk to Youyou and ask her if she wants to marry Zhang Erlang? If she wants to, we have to ask Zhang Erlang to propose marriage even if we lose our old face!" Xia Cui gritted her teeth. I feel angry when I marry Xia Jiniang back to take care of the housework, but I can't remember that I also thought this way at the beginning.

Xia Da shook his head, and he said: "It's not appropriate to do this after all. I still have to figure out the situation of the Huang family before making a decision. If nothing happens to the Huang family, I have no reason to object to Youyou marrying there."

Xia Cuishi opened her mouth. It is undeniable that if the Huang family really just wanted to get closer, then they would have no reason to refuse this marriage.As for marrying Xia Jiniang to help her husband, teach her children, and take care of housework, which woman in this world is not like this?

"In two days, I'm going to the city to buy things. I'll go there myself to find Luo Jin and ask him to inquire about the situation of the Huang family in the city." Xia Dao said.

"That's all it takes."

If you want to plant candel after the harvest period of eggplant is over, you need to replant it in May, so under normal circumstances, people will not be able to eat fresh eggplant for three to four months.But to the surprise of the people in Fuzhou City, some restaurants in the city still have eggplant-based dishes!

Although eggplant is not a rare vegetable, it appears in the inappropriate season, which makes the people feel curious, and they go to the main store of Zhangjiayuanzi to order a piece of eggplant, wondering if they are using old eggplant to fool people. .

It was only when they ate it that they found that not only did the taste of the eggplant not fade away, but they could still taste the tenderness of the period when it was just ripe!

They all wanted to know where the fresh eggplants from Zhangjiayuanzi Zhengdian got them and how they were stored.It would be wonderful if this storage technology could be applied to fruits and vegetables. By then, it would not be necessary to expedite the transportation of lychees from Lingnan to Luoyang by eight hundred miles.

Zhangjiayuanzi's main store is getting more and more prosperous due to the presence of many curious and fun-loving people. She is very happy to cook in the back kitchen.

Originally, she also thought that once the eggplant picking period was over, Zhang He would have no more eggplants, but Zhang He said: "I still have a lot of purple melons to provide, but if Mrs. Zhang doesn't need them anymore, then I won't send them any more in the future." gone."

Zhang Chun didn't believe it until she checked Zhang He's eggplant and found that it was the same as before, so she pleasantly asked Zhang He to continue to provide eggplant.But Zhang He said: "Now that the awns are about to be planted, I don't have much time to go here often. From now on, I can only deliver them once every five days at most, and at this price, a basket will cost seven cents."

After summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is a season of abundant rain. Zhang He frequently goes to the city and causes troubles. If she doesn't want to cut off her income, she might save the eggplants in the system warehouse until autumn. It's sold out.

After careful consideration, Zhang Chun said, "Okay, at most, I won't cook purple melon dishes for two out of every five days!" It's a drop in the bucket.

Li Qinggui went back to Qinghe Village and saw that there were no eggplants left in Zhang He's field, so he was even more surprised: "Erlang, where did you get this purple melon? Don't say it was grown in your field, I don't believe it! "

"It's really grown in my field, but I pick them all up and store them so they don't get old or rot."

Li Qinggui's eyes widened: "How did you store it?"

"This--"

Li Qinggui smiled knowingly: "Since it's your secret, then I won't ask any more."

"Thank you, brother Qinggui, for your understanding."

Li Qinggui waved his hands and said, "By the way, my cousin and uncle also came to Fuzhou City, and settled down at the Chunfeng Building on Chunhe Street."

"Why did they come to Fuzhou City?"

Li Qinggui scratched his ears, then patted Zhang He's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Erlang, if you are interested in my cousin, you should propose marriage earlier, so as not to regret it later."

Zhang He's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly asked, "Did someone propose marriage to her?"

Li Qinggui seemed to have made a difficult decision in his heart, and the expression on his whole face should be as tangled as it was.Zhang He was so full of thoughts about someone proposing marriage to Xia Jiniang that he couldn't calmly wait for him to answer, so he asked, "Brother Qinggui, just tell me if someone proposed marriage to her, did Uncle Xia agree? She agreed?" Is it Kong Rong?"

Although she knew that Xia Jiniang would marry sooner or later, when that day came, she became flustered and couldn't keep calm anymore.She doesn't like this kind of herself very much. She knows that some feelings will not be responded to, but she still indulges herself and allows this acacia sapling to thrive!

"I thought you didn't care about your cousin!" Li Qinggui said.

"I--"

"It was not Kong Rong who proposed marriage to my cousin, but her distant cousin Huang Yu. Uncle has not agreed to this marriage, but he came here this time to find cousin Luo Jin, and secondly to consider whether to complete this marriage .”

Zhang He only felt unspeakable boredom and loss in his heart, and he didn't care about other restaurants sending eggplants. Instead, he took the ox cart and found Chunfenglou on Chunhe Street.

Chunhe Street is in the Xicheng area, where the cheapest mansions are, but because it is close to the wharf and ferry, there are also many porters, merchants, and low-class households in the city.Precisely because there are many people of various religions and nine streams, and there are mixed dragons and snakes, the shop can't guarantee that the guests' belongings will not be lost, so the price is cheap.

If Xia Da was not there, Xia Ji Niang would not have chosen to settle here.

Xia Da planned to stay here for two days. Apart from buying things, he had to go to the tea shop of Huang's family to learn about the situation of Huang's family.And the reason why he brought Xia Jiniang here was also to let her know for herself so that she could make a decision.

"Let's go find your elder brother first." Xia Da said to Xia Ji Niang.

When the father and daughter left the gate of Chunfeng Building, they saw Zhang He appearing on the bustling Chunhe Street.Caravans with horse-drawn carts, donkey carts, or ox carts came and went on the streets, or porters carrying goods. Zhang He was not conspicuous among them, but it was Xia Jiniang's sharp eyes that spotted her.

"Uncle Xia, Mrs. Xia, what a coincidence!" Zhang He said.

Xia Jiniang pursed her lips and smiled, then said seriously: "What a coincidence, did Zhang Erlang send the purple melon here?"

"Cough, yes, yes, my purple melon is the number one in Fuzhou, and my business is everywhere in this Fuzhou city."

Xia Da didn't hear Xia Ji Niang's meaning of teasing Zhang He, but was confused with many people: "Are there still purple melons in this season?"

"Other people may not have it, but I have it here." Zhang He pretended to hold a bamboo basket, took the opportunity to put a few eggplants in it, and took it out to show Xia Da.

Xia Jiniang thought of a doubt she had once, the doubt about Zhang He was still unresolved, and with the addition of the eggplant, she felt that Zhang He had one more secret.
