The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Shen Ling paused, looked dumbfounded at the arrogant man sitting on the stool, not knowing how to feel for a while, Shen Ling sighed slightly, but with a smile on the corner of his mouth, walked towards the shopkeeper.

"Boss." The shopkeeper is more familiar than the buddy remembering Shen Ling's appearance. When he saw someone approaching, he recognized Shen Ling's identity with a casual glance.

"En." Shen Ling nodded, looked at Shangxian, Shangxian also heard the shopkeeper addressing Shen Ling, his smile gradually subsided, he stood up obediently, saluted Shen Ling, and said with a flattering smile: "Hi boss! "

Shen Ling froze again, but ignored Shangxian, and looked at the shopkeeper, "I'll check the account, and take a look at the situation of Bifang Liquor by the way."

"Good boss, please stay in the room, it's too noisy here, and the oily smoke is heavy, don't smoke you." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Shen Ling nodded, and glanced at Shangxian again, but still didn't speak, and left with the shopkeeper.After reconciling the accounts, Shen Ling asked: "Where did that Shangxian come from? I saw him outside just now, but he has done a lot of business."

The shopkeeper had been waiting for Shen Ling to ask him for credit, and he smiled and said, "He is from Chuzhou. He came here after fleeing. He said that there was another fight at the border. When he came to our place, he didn't want to leave anymore, so he just looked for a job." , found us here, during this period of time the profit of the restaurant is good, there are too many customers, the guys are too busy, so I decided to recruit a newcomer, so I recruited him in."

Shen Ling nodded, took a sip of tea, and said hesitantly, "Isn't that a pair?"

"How can it be! It would be troublesome if he is a Shuang'er! I have read his household registration and road guides, and they all say he is a male!"

"There is a way for those who are fleeing?" Shen Ling asked curiously.

The shopkeeper said, "It is said that during the war, the general guards at the border let the people escape, leaving only the soldiers to guard the city, and sent directions to every household, telling them to leave on their own, and go back after the battle. There is only a guide."

Shen Ling nodded, "Then what's going on with Baitiyi?"

"Oh, that's what I came up with. He came to our restaurant within a few days and caused a reaction, and the profits rushed up. Before I had time to be happy, someone from other restaurants came to poach him, saying that he would give him a couple of dollars. Yinzi asked him to do work for a month, and I thought about it! This man is really amazing! He must not be let go, so I told him that as long as the profit of the area he is in charge exceeds ten taels of silver per day, then I will give him one penny for every one hundred pennies of the higher profit. Bifang wine can’t be kept for a long time and must be sold out quickly, so as not to spoil it, so I only mention two pennies to keep him. Boss, are you sure? You know, there is only one more person in our restaurant, and the daily profit will at least triple."

The shopkeeper's gaze was somewhat begging for a reward, Shen Ling nodded, and praised: "You did a good job, you go to the counter to pick up ten taels of silver and take it away yourself. I will reward you."

"Oh, thank you, boss!" The shopkeeper smiled, ten taels of silver, this is the amount he can save in one year after deducting expenses, the reward of twelve taels of silver is equal to a year's savings!

After Shen Ling checked the accounts, he went back to the lobby. Han Shi was sitting there rolling up the dough. There were already several rolled doughs on Shen Ling's plate, which were wrapped with sweet and crispy duck skin and sliced ​​meat. Onion and Cucumber, seeing Shen Ling coming back, Han Shi quickly raised his head, looked at Shen Ling with twinkling eyes, and showed dimples when he smiled, as if he was waiting to be praised.

Shen Ling reached out and touched Han Shi's head, and said softly, "Why don't you eat it yourself? Don't worry about me."

Han Shi smiled, showing a few white teeth, turned his head and pinched the wine glass with both hands, touched his lips lightly, then stretched out his tongue to lick his lips.

Shen Ling swallowed silently while watching, raised his hand and picked up the wine glass in front of him to finish it, and asked softly: "Is it good?"

"It's delicious." Han Shi nodded, "It has a faint fragrance, which is especially greasy."

Shen Ling paused, tasted the taste in his mouth, and agreed: "It really relieves the greasy." The degree is not high, the taste is not strong, the only thing worthy of praise is the faint fragrance of lotus leaves, Shen Ling can't tell What kind of mood do I have? The Bifang wine that I made with full of confidence is not pleasing to the customers at all, and the only function is to relieve the greasy.

"Can I bring some home for the third son to drink?" Han Shi looked at Shen Ling, he thought the third son would definitely like this kind of wine, he doesn't know how to drink, so he can only sip it a little bit, but the third son Son will!Han Shi thought.

Shen Ling nodded, "Okay! I'll bring you an altar later."

Shang Xian had already come out of the back kitchen, a group of people stretched their heads to look at him again, and this man put on that otherworldly mask again, coaxing the group of people to turn around, treating him like a mortal fairy.

Shangxian seemed to have noticed where Shen Ling was, and walked towards him. Shen Ling was not in the area he was in charge of, but he still came over. The guy next to him seemed to want to say something, but stopped by himself , dare not speak.

"Boss, I offer you a toast." Shang Xian smiled, holding a cup that he didn't know where he came from, and said to Shen Ling.

"You're welcome, I respect you." Shen Ling filled his glass, stood up and smiled.No matter what his origin and name, as long as he can make money for him, he can smile at each other.

"Boss, my name is Shangxian. I'm from Chuzhou. I've passed the Tongsheng exam. I don't plan to go to the scholar examination again, and I don't plan to go back to my hometown. I want to find a job in Huaizhou and settle down in the future." Shang Xiandun After a pause, he said, "I toast the boss."

Shen Ling nodded, and understood what the other party meant. This is not reconciled to just being a buddy!Indeed, this person is more than enough to be a treasurer.

"Shangxian, come to my place! My family is in the cloth business, and I'll give you a manager." Someone shouted from behind.

"You pull it down! Are you in charge of your family's business? Shangxian, come to me, I have a lack of a big manager here."

Shen Ling looked at Shangxian and smiled, "You don't go to those people's homes? It sounds like the treatment is good."

Shangxian had a cold and lofty expression on his face, "I only do things for my confidantes that I value. The boss just ordered Bifang Bar! I heard that Bifang wine is also a recipe made by the boss looking through ancient books. Come to think of it, the boss is my confidant."

Shen Ling: ...

Do you still remember the way you settled accounts for the shopkeeper in the back kitchen just now?Don't you keep saying that you like Bifang wine because Bifang wine can mention two things? !Although Shen Ling thought so, it was impossible for him to dismantle his own stage, after all, the persona Shangxian pretended was for him to make money.

Shen Ling coughed, and said, "Okay, we'll talk later, you go and do your work first! Husband and I still have dinner."

Han Shi blushed, looked at Shangxian, and felt that this person was like a twin!It can't really be Shuang'er, can it?Shen Ling told Shuang'er who admired him very much that he was his husband, Han Shi puffed out his chest slightly, looked at Shang Xian, yes, it was him!So you just appreciate Shen Ling, and you must not have any bad thoughts.

Shen Ling glanced at Xiao Shitou's movements from the corner of his eye, and felt happy, and later told Xiao Shitou that Shangxian is a man, to see if he would blush in annoyance.

Shangxian nodded, "I took the liberty."

Someone behind him shouted again: "Whatever you do with him depends on his attitude! Shangxian, come with me! I will definitely praise you highly, and I will never let you suffer any grievances."

Shangxian ignored it and continued to receive his guests. It was probably due to Shangxian's indifferent expression and the fact that there were people around waiting to join in the show. Every time Shangxian walked to a table and asked the other party what to eat, the other party would subconsciously He became nervous for a moment, and his tone became softer, as if he was afraid of frightening the little crystal-like figure surrounded by everyone.

Usually, the customers who eat normally go straight to the area that other people are in charge of to order food. This is also because there are no seats in the area that Shang Xian is in charge of.

After eating, Shen Ling took Han Shi to a house he bought. It was found by Tuo Muwu with his help before he left. It was confirmed that he bought it. It has a neat square courtyard and seven rooms. Shen Ling and Han Shi lived in the largest room in the east room, and the others were neatly tidied up as guest rooms, kitchen utility rooms and the like.

When Shen Ling returned to Huaizhou, Mu Wu knew the news a long time ago, and he had already packed up the room for him, and left the servants of Mu's mansion, waiting for Shen Ling to come back, and invited Shen Ling and the two to come. The meaning of Mu Mansion.

And Mu Wu, at the moment, is kneeling on the ground in the study of Mu Futai, quietly waiting for Mu Futai to speak.

Mu Futai finally put down the writing brush for reviewing official documents, looked at Mu Wu for a long time, and then said, "I heard that you have been busy in Huaizhou City recently?"

"Yes, it's all because Mr. Shen bought property in Huaizhou City. He returned to his hometown recently, so he asked me to help take care of it. Moreover, the old lady also said, let me help look after it."

"You are obedient." Mu Futai was noncommittal.

"I don't dare not listen to the old lady's words. Moreover, Mr. Shen is kind to the Mu family, and he is kind to me. I should do my best." Mu Wu said sincerely.

Mu Futai's face looked better, but he still said: "You have to remember that the affairs of Mu Fu are the first thing you must do well, don't get the focus of things wrong."

"Yes." Mu Wu said respectfully.

"Get up!"

Mu Wu just got up from the ground, bowed his hands and stood aside, Mu Futai took out the letter stuffed in the dark box under the table, and handed it to Mu Wu, "Old rules, send the letter over there, understand?"

"Yes, my lord." Mu Wu nodded, respectfully took the letter handed over by Mu Futai, stuffed it into his cuff, and hid it.

"It's okay, you go down!" Mu Futai rubbed his brows and said wearily.

"Yes." Mu Wu bowed and saluted, then stepped back and left.

The next day, Shen Ling brought Han Shi to Mu's residence to visit. Mu Hongyuan was able to go out and walk, and his face looked much healthier. Seeing Shen Ling's first sentence was to get rid of the scar, Shen Ling smiled and gave it away. He sent Mu Hongyuan away with a bottle of homemade light green plaster and asked him to apply it every day after the wound healed.

Han Shi went to his room with Mu Hongjin, and the two of them whispered to each other. Mu Wu arranged a guest room for Shen Ling, and he wanted to keep someone to stay. This was also what Mrs. Mu meant. Refuse, let the old lady Mu Wumu do everything possible to persuade her to stay, and she refuses to stay.

Since he already has his own residence in Huaizhou, he is not willing to borrow Mu's house anymore. Besides, his residence is not far from Mu's house, and it is convenient to come and go. Shen Lingxiaozhi persuaded Mr. Mu with emotion and reason. The wife no longer forced him to stay and let him go back.

After sending the old lady away, Mu Wu accompanied Shen Ling to drink tea in the pavilion in the name of a companion. Mu Hongyuan was supposed to stay with him, but he was anxious to go back to apply the medicine, and felt that Shen Ling was not an outsider and could Mu Wuyi was left here.

The gazebo is ventilated on all sides, and anyone who approaches can see it clearly. Mu Wu raised his glass and smiled, "You're back, so the matter should be handed over to you."

Shen Ling raised her eyebrows, "Don't! The two of us teamed up are stronger than me alone. After all, I'm just alone, and I can't do it without you. I can't live without you!"

Mu Wu shook his head with a smile, and said in a low voice, "It's what your lord meant. He suspected that I had selfish intentions."

Shen Ling paused, and his face became more serious.

"So, I have to let go. Only by letting him see that I have completely let go of your property, will he believe that I have never had any second thoughts, and these properties really have nothing to do with me, and are all yours." Human."

Shen Ling looked at Mu Wu sympathetically, but said something else, "Don't worry!"

Mu Wu nodded slightly, don't worry, both of them know what it means.
