Traveling through ancient times, I married an ugly brother

The next day, Shen Changjun opened his eyes, and Jiang Liu was still asleep. He couldn't help but blush when he thought of Meng Lang last night.

He turned his head sideways, looked at Jiang Liu, leaned over and kissed him lightly, without waking him up, Shen Changjun got up and got out of bed, it seems that he can't take Fulang out today, let him rest more.

"Mother, good morning." Shen Changjun saw Mrs. He as soon as he went out.

"Jun'er is up, where is Brother Liu, are you still up?"

Shen Changjun smirked and said, "He was exhausted last night, let him sleep more."

Mrs. He was stunned for a moment, and reacted slowly, she said happily: "That's really great, I'm going to have a little grandson soon." Tell his old man to go.

Shen Changjun was in a good mood. After listening to his wife's words, Shen's father came out from the upper room. He stepped forward and patted his younger son on the shoulder without saying anything, but the smile on his face was unstoppable.

Today is a big day, because they will soon have a shop of their own, and the father and son will go to the dental office in the county to sign the agreement. The master's family also came later, and the few people signed the agreement without any doubts, and signed a contract with the master's family by the way.

A group of three people came out of the tooth shop and arrived at the noodle shop I saw yesterday. It was the same as the one I saw yesterday. Shen Changjun was very satisfied with this shop. The front hall is about 80 square meters. The interior decoration is very neat, and the walls are freshly painted. Although it has been used for three months, it is still very new, and the tables and chairs are also new.

The same goes for the back kitchen. There is no oily smoke from the noodle maker, and it is a husband and wife noodle restaurant, which is also very clean. Basically, this shop does not need to be refurbished. It only needs to make a plaque and make a few changes at the counter and it can be opened immediately.

Thinking of the plaque, what should be the name? Shen Changjun is a bad namer, so he threw the question to Shen's father and elder brother.

Father Shen was also in trouble, and looked at his eldest son, who also shook his head.

"Jun'er, you are educated, you can choose one." Father Shen finally threw the question back and let Shen Changjun decide for himself.

Shen Changjun had no choice but to rack his brains to think of a name. He originally wanted to go back and do some research, but he had already bought the restaurant, and a day's delay would be a waste of money, so he had to bite the bullet and insist, gritted his teeth secretly, Isn't it just picking a name, how difficult it can be.

What his family sells is the only one, even if they don’t sell glutinous rice balls in the future, he will still sell the only one. What he wants to do will still be the food that is not available in the county. He only wants to be the first and not the first. Two, so he thought for a while and said, "How about calling it an exclusive restaurant?"

“Exclusive restaurant, great name.”

“Exclusive restaurant, great name.”

Father Shen and Shen Changfu said in unison.

After the three people decided on their names, they went to order a plaque. The master who made the plaque said that if it is urgent to pick it up tomorrow, it will cost five taels of silver.

Although Shen Changjun wanted to open the business immediately, he still had a lot of preparations in the early stage, so he decided to pick it up in three days. After Shen's father paid the deposit, several people came out.

Shen Changjun wanted to go shopping. Although he decided to sell glutinous rice balls, he couldn't just sell glutinous rice balls. It was too simple, so he decided to go shopping.

After discussing with my family, no one objected, so I went shopping.

Although there is no big market now, there are shops and various stalls on the roadside.

A few people wandered around for a long time, but didn't find anything special, but remembered that the rice noodles at home were about to run out, so they simply bought some back, as well as meat, and now their family can't do without meat every day.

"Brother Shen!"

A crisp shout came, Shen Changjun heard the reputation and looked over.

"Brother Shen, it's really you, we meet again."

"You are, Wu Fan?"

"Yes, yes, it's me." Wu Fan said happily.

Wu Fan was not alone, and Amulang was with him.

Amulang was carrying a pole, with a basket hanging on each end. The things in the basket were round, and the green ones had black ripples on them.

"Watermelon!" Shen Changjun hadn't noticed Amulang yet, he was completely attracted by the things in the basket, and he recognized what it was at a glance.

"Watermelon? That's a good name. I always call it Yuangua, hehe." Wu Fan rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

Shen Changjun raised his head and glanced at him, only to realize that it was Amulang who was carrying the watermelon, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Where are you going? Can this watermelon be sold?" Shen Changjun asked.

"Sell, we are here to sell watermelons. These are the seeds that Amulang bought from others. Our land is not good, it is all sandy soil, and we can't grow food. Amulang said, the person who sold the seeds said, It is best to grow watermelons in sandy land, so we tried to grow watermelons, but we did not expect to succeed." Wu Fan scratched his head and said.

Shen Changjun nodded, he glanced at Amulang, but didn't say anything.

"How much is this watermelon?" Shen Changjun asked.

"This is the first time we are selling it. How much do you think is suitable?" Wu Fan, a careless person who is the seller himself, asked the buyer how much to sell.

Fortunately, the person I met was him.

"This watermelon is usually sold by the catty, but here, watermelon is a rare commodity. I'll give you 10 Wen per catty, what do you think?" Shen Changjun said.

"Sure, 10 Wen is 10 Wen, how much do you want?" Wu Fan has no objection to the price, and he has no idea why he wants 10 Wen for a catty. He only thinks that these two baskets of watermelons are worth hundreds of catties. , 10 Wen a catty, can make a lot of money.

Shen Changjun took a look. There were less than 20 watermelons in the two baskets, and each watermelon weighed about 10 catties. "I want them all."

Wu Fan opened his mouth wide, with an unbelievable look on his face. This is, this is, this is an adjective that he didn't think of for a long time.

"Really?" Wu Fan asked uncertainly.

"That's still fake. We opened a shop in the county called an exclusive restaurant. The signboard can be ordered in three days. When the time comes, the signboard can be hung up to open. On the day of opening, the two of you must visit." Shen Changjun warmly invited.

"Definitely, we will definitely go." Wu Fan said hastily.

16 watermelons, a total of 175 catties, Wu Fan returned zero, a total of 1700 Wen, with one hand for the money and the other for the watermelons.

Watching Wu Fan and Amulang walking away from the bullock cart, Wu Fan sighed after a long while and said, "There are two more baskets missing, it seems that I have to make a few more."

Amulang glanced at him silently, then turned his head away, as if he didn't want to talk to the idiot.

****

Besides, Shen Changjun, Shen Changjun originally thought that his shop could not only sell glutinous rice balls, but also had to buy other things, so he bought so many watermelons unexpectedly. It is now summer, and it is the Jin Dynasty that is in season. No, it's definitely ice drinks, ice porridge, ice cream, smoothies, as long as they can cool down, they must be the best sellers.

But this ice, alas, Shen Changjun sighed.

The only way to make ice is saltpeter, but this is ancient times, where to find saltpeter, and now almost no big families have ice. I heard that only the palace has it, or it is hidden in the ice cellar.

"Oh..." Shen Changjun sighed again on the bullock cart.

The sighing Shen father and the elder brother of the Shen family didn't know why he sighed because he was fine just now.

"Jun'er, what's the matter with you, you're fine, why are you sighing?"

"Father, do you know where there is saltpeter?" Shen Changjun asked with the thought of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"Saltpeter? I've never heard of it, what kind?" Sure enough, Shen's father and Shen's elder brother looked at each other in blank dismay.

"White stone, there are impurities wrapped in shiny crystals. That's it," Shen Changjun didn't know how to describe it. According to modern sayings, the crystals have glass luster, but the Jin Dynasty didn't even have glass, and the common people didn't know what it was. Crystal is not crystal.

"I seem to have seen the one you mentioned. It's in the innermost part of the mountain behind our village." Shen Changfu said uncertainly. Although he didn't understand the specific meaning of the crystal, he still knew the words white stone and shiny.

"Is this true?" Shen Changjun was so surprised, he grabbed the elder brother's arm and asked excitedly, he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.

"I'm not sure if you said it." Seeing his younger brother so excited, Shen Changfu couldn't be sure.

"Come on, let's go home quickly, you can take me to the mountains to see." Shen Changjun said impatiently, and asked his elder brother to drive the cattle faster so that he could go home quickly.

The three of them didn't delay when they got home, they called the other brothers to carry the bamboo baskets on their backs and went to the mountain with the guys.

Big Brother Shen Changfu is right. This is really the innermost part of the mountain. We are about to enter Wolong Mountain. Just look at a cliff protruding from the two mountains to form a natural cave. The cave is not deep and can be seen from a distance. Inside, but the entrance of the cave is very narrow. There are several such caves. Shen Changjun hurriedly ran over and walked into a cave at random. He saw white crystals hanging on the cave wall. He stretched out his hand and touched it carefully. The saltpetre he was thinking about.

"Hahaha, brother, you have helped me a lot, this is exactly the saltpeter I was looking for." Shen Changjun said excitedly.

The few people saw Shen Changjun smiling so happily, they must have found something good, although they didn't know why, they also giggled happily.

"Come on, let's pretend to go back, pay attention, be careful." Shen Changjun suppressed the excitement in his heart and took saltpeter with his brothers.

They filled all the baskets they had carried on their backs, and then each of them moved each basket back to their cellar.

After returning home, Shen Changjun couldn't wait to start making.

The big barrel and the small barrel were filled with water, and some of the picked nitrate was put into the big barrel. At first, I couldn't figure out the ratio. After a little bit of experimentation, the hard work finally paid off, and finally let him figure out the pattern.

The water in the big bucket has already frozen, and the temperature of the water in the small bucket is also slowly dropping. It is only a matter of time before it freezes.

"Little brother, it's ice. The ice has come out. This, this is really amazing." The eldest brother of the Shen family was looking at what Shen Changjun was tinkering with, and he turned pale with shock.

"Hey, that's right, it's ice." Shen Changjun laughed.

"What? Ice?" The others didn't notice this place, and when they heard Shen Changfu say that there was ice, they walked towards this side with shock on their faces almost in unison.

Did you hear me right, Bing?

I heard that in summer, it is only available in the palace, how is this possible.

Shen Changjun proudly said: "It's ice, but you can't eat the ice outside. If you want to eat it, you can eat the inside of the small bucket."

Several people were still unable to extricate themselves from Bing's shock, and they didn't know if they heard it or not.

Shen Changjun simply ignored them, he still had a lot of things to do.
