Cross Country Little Master

Housekeeper Kong had already prepared the purchases for the new year with the ears and grains.

Fangji Braised Meat Shop has been doing well recently, so it decided to stay open until New Year's Eve.Butler Kong travels between the Fang family mansion and the small shop in the county every day, full of energy.

Fang Ruixuan promised to give him half of the shop's business, the more the shop earns, the more money he gets.

At the same time, Fang Ruixuan also promised him that he can redeem himself after five years of service. He dreams of being free in this life, even if he doesn't give money.

Steward Kong is 32 years old this year. He was kidnapped and sold to a wealthy family as a slave when he was young. At that time, he had already vaguely remembered that he was a good family member and not someone else’s slave. The result of his resistance was severe beatings and starvation for several days. abdomen.He gradually learned to be smart, and no longer expressed his thoughts to others. At the age of 14, he won the favor of the nobleman because of his wit and wink, and was trained as a shopkeeper.

At the beginning, he felt very lucky, and thought that it was time to change his destiny. No matter how difficult the old shopkeeper Xi was, he put all his energy into observing the old shopkeeper secretly learning various skills every day.

When he finally became a treasurer and saved enough money and worked hard for the nobleman for ten years and wanted to redeem his wife, daughter and himself, he failed to get what he wanted.

At that time, not long after the civil unrest in Lingnan ended, it was found out that the nobleman had an affair with the rebels there, and the whole family had their heads beheaded.These servants, some of them served as official slaves, some of them were not prostitutes, and some of them were bought and sold privately, and they were scattered to various places.Due to various reasons, he was sold to Baishui County in two years.

I just feel sorry for his wife, children and daughter who are so pretty, and now I don't know where they are, whether they are dead or alive.

Butler Kong wanted to regain his freedom as soon as possible to find his wife and daughter.Those are the only two relatives in his life. Even if they are bullied, he will still protect them.Moreover, her wife is the nobleman's mate, he asked for it himself, and she was not perfect when she married him, so he would never despise her no matter what.

Maybe he can do without the money and be the treasurer of the Fang family for the rest of his life, and ask Fang Ruixuan to help him.

A few days ago, Butler Kong overheard that Fang Ruixuan asked Shen Haihai's business caravan to help him find a man named Zhong Bo. A businessman like Shen Haihai could get in touch with the kings, grandchildren, nobles, and down to the third class, and his ability to find people must be better than His little shopkeeper is strong.

"Master, Fu Lang, get out of the car when you arrive at the county seat." Kong Butler said to the couple in the bullock cart.

Having a rare leisure, Fang Ruixuan planned to take Liu Sheng for a stroll around the county town.Except for the few times before they got married, Fang Ruixuan had never taken Liu Sheng out.

Although he is an otaku, if he really wants to stay at home all day, he will get bored.Moreover, Yagyu was only born during the Chinese New Year, and in modern times, he still loves to play and make trouble.Fang Ruixuan likes his sensibility, and wants to pamper him even more.

After Fang Ruixuan got out of the car, he took Liusheng Gushou to visit the county town, while Steward Kong and Gu Li went to take care of the business of the stewed meat shop.

The Chinese New Year will be in three days, and the streets are busier than before, as if they have been dormant for three seasons and are about to bloom in winter.

There are all kinds of snacks, game, and mountain goods stalls everywhere, and the aroma of various foods in the air seduces pedestrians coming and going.

Baishui County is relatively close to the south of the Yangtze River, and it is one of the stops for businessmen from the north and the south to trade. Every day, some businessmen, travelers and students stay here.

Fang Ruixuan took Liu Sheng to a crowded place, it would be better to have a lively New Year.

On South Street, a brother and sister were performing arts, playing very heroically with big swords and whips.

At a small stall with Hu Banxian's signboard hanging high, the fortune teller flicked away one after another, but the business was still very prosperous.For Chinese New Year, many small county residents are willing to spend money to buy auspicious words.

Fang Ruixuan happened to catch a glimpse of sausages being sold at a pork stall, he was taken aback for a moment, and soon came back to his senses.He knew that sausages had a very long history, but he never thought that he would meet them in person.

He remembers that sausages seemed to be minced and cured meat stuffed into the casings of pigs or sheep.

The burly butcher wielded a butcher's knife to cut meat and bones for people, and the apron around his body was covered with dirty black oil stains.A brother on the side was busy collecting money for the process.Two people should be husband and wife, they will always look at each other when they are not busy, sometimes two people will meet each other and smile, and the love will flow in it.

"Boss, your business is really good. How do you sell these large intestines?" Fang Ruixuan took Liu Sheng to the meat stall and pointed to the sausages.The appearance is quite good, which shows how hard the people who make it are.

"These are new foods. It takes a lot of effort to make them, and they are more expensive." said the brother who was collecting money and counting copper coins with his head down.

"How many?" Fang Ruixuan asked casually.

"Five cents, if you buy more, I'll give you two cents cheaper if you buy ten." The butcher took the conversation and said enthusiastically.The ingredients used in this sausage are not worth much at all, his husband Lang Fei said that this is a new way of eating and it is so expensive.No one cared about him all morning, and finally he was taken advantage of, so don't seize the opportunity.

The price of pork has risen during the Chinese New Year and it is only [-] cents a catty, so there is probably not even a tael of meat for a single slender sausage, and Fang Ruixuan has an inexplicable feeling that these sausages are made of the leftovers of this pig.

But Fang Ruixuan didn't bother to care about these things, Liu Sheng didn't understand the market, and seeing this delicate and lovely food, he believed the couple's words.

"Give me thirty, and you give me two more."

"Okay." The butcher quickly counted the sausages for Fang Ruixuan, and Liu Sheng took out his purse to pay.A pond and a green bamboo were embroidered on the purse, which Xing'er made for him a few days ago.

"Husband, what is this food? Why is it so expensive?" Liu Sheng asked curiously. Seeing that Fang Ruixuan was so interested in these things, he also wanted to know more about them.

"Well," Fang Ruixuan elongated his voice, "it's called sausage, after the meat is minced and marinated..."

Putting sausages into the basket for Fang Ruixuan

The butcher and his brother who had been paying attention to their side were shocked when they heard this, stopped their work, and looked straight over Fang Ruixuan.

This is the encounter with knowing the root and knowing the bottom line.

Fang Ruixuan saw that he had successfully frightened the two of them, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he would accept it as soon as he saw it. It was enough to bully people to this extent.

Seeing that Fang Ruixuan didn't intend to make trouble, the butcher and husband felt relieved.Since the five cents a piece was sold, the price cannot be reduced, otherwise the reputation and reputation will be ruined under the eyes of everyone.

The price was set by them, Fang Ruixuan knew the truth and did not object, and he voluntarily traded, innocent and innocent, they still took the reason.

Fang Ruixuan didn't care about the money, but it was because he remembered the scene where he and his grandfather ate sausages and gnawed pig's trotters together.After his grandfather got old, his blood lipids were a little high, and he usually had to control his diet. Every time his mother cooked a lot of meat, his grandfather could only eat a few bites, which was more greedy than not eating.

He often secretly helps his grandfather save food, and the best hidden thing is sausage.

Fang Ruixuan feels a little sad when he misses his relatives a lot during the festive season.

He put away those melancholy and continued to take Liusheng shopping, Gusui followed behind him with big and small baskets, carrying things in big and small bags.

God favored him and gave him another home, how could he still have the audacity to think about those impossible things now.

Fang Ruixuan saw a game with loops, and spent ten cents to buy ten loops for Liu Sheng to set. As a result, he didn't get a single thing, and Fang Ruixuan just stood there watching Liu Sheng's jokes and didn't help.

"Let's go to Qizhenzhai to buy some things, and we'll go to a restaurant to have a meal in a private room later." Fang Ruixuan looked at the sky and said to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng naturally knew that Qizhenzhai was the best jewelry shop in this county, but he would not reject Fang Ruixuan because of money matters.Gu Niang reminded him that he is now Mrs. Juren, and he should pay attention to dressing so as not to embarrass Fang Ruixuan.Aunt Cao also said that the more a man is willing to spend money for his female brother, the more it proves that this person likes him more.Although I haven't seen Uncle Cao buy anything for Aunt Cao, the relationship between the two has always been very good.

When the two got married, Fang Ruixuan was too cash-strapped and couldn't afford to go to such a place.Now I take my daughter-in-law to see and see, buy some jewelry and clothes and so on, so that I can make a place for my daughter-in-law if I have any social relations in the future.

There is another reason. It is said that when the women in the previous life were in a bad mood, they could get better by buying and buying.But ever since he met the sausage seller, Gu Sui's hands could barely lift things, and he didn't feel in a good mood either.

Just keep on buying!

Fang Juren, who turned into a nouveau riche, arrogantly led his wife Juren to choose jewelry.

Qizhenzhai's jewelry is just like its name, with novel design and exquisite workmanship, ingenious color matching, gorgeous and dazzling, fresh and elegant, simple and dignified, fashionable and playful, each with its own charm like a hundred flowers blooming, but it does not hide Of course, the value of the other party's brilliance goes without saying.

As soon as Liu Sheng entered the door, he was dazzled by the dazzling array of jewelry, but although these things were beautiful, he didn't use most of them. My brother always dressed like a man, so there were not many jewelry suitable for wearing.

Fang Ruixuan picked and picked among a bunch of hairpins, and finally chose a water-blue hosta in the shape of a Phalaenopsis orchid, worth 40 taels.Liu Sheng himself picked out a jade pendant with a statue of Guanyin, but refused to choose another one.

The things here are too expensive, far exceeding his expectations.

Fang Ruixuan had no choice but to choose some earrings, some silver bracelets, two bracelets, and an ebony comb for him.

A total of 400 taels of silver was spent.Fang Ruixuan is not good at managing money, especially the original owner is a hard-educated person who is an otaku and doesn't know much about prices, so he handed over all the money to Liu Sheng early on.The money for buying jewelry still has to be spent from Liu Sheng, but Liu Sheng's heart aches, even if he is sold, he is not worth so much money.

Facing such a good Fang Ruixuan, Liu Sheng was terrified and sweet at the same time.

"Husband, I already have several pairs of earrings. I don't want them anymore. Two bracelets are enough, and I can't use them up." Liu Sheng stared at Fang Ruixuan with wide eyes, wanting to be cute and begging Fang Ruixuan to agree to him .The stewed meat shop only earned 600 taels this month because of the Chinese New Year, and it was all spent on him at once. Liu Sheng felt that he had been busy for so long.

"Fool, I don't think there are too many jewelry. I will buy you better ones in the future." Fang Ruixuan said, turning his head to let the assistant wrap it up.It is the Fang family's tradition to love his wife, and the money he earns is spent on his daughter-in-law.

After the three of them left Qizhenzhai, a familiar figure walked towards them.

"Master Tian." After Fang Ruixuan recognized the person, he stepped forward to greet him.

"Fang Juren brought her husband to pick out jewelry?" Master Tian asked, looking at Liu Sheng and Gu Sui who was holding a pile of things beside him.

"Exactly, Master Tian also came to make jewelry for his wife and daughter?" Fang Ruixuan greeted.

"This is the shop of the county magistrate's wife. The county magistrate asked me to inspect it for his wife."

"So that's the case, no wonder I don't think those jewelry are so delicate that they can be found in this small place." Fang Ruixuan suddenly realized, and gave Mr. Tian a strange look. How could the county magistrate let his master manage the shop for his wife.

"There is also a Qizhen Zhai in the capital. The ones in Baishui County get their goods from there. I heard that Fang Juren is doing business with Shen Haihai recently." Master Tian received an invitation for Shen Haihai's hot pot banquet two days ago, on the tenth day of the first lunar month At that time, he invited him and some wealthy students from Baishui County to the Shenjia Restaurant to taste new dishes.

"Master Tian was joking. I have already opened a school to teach in the library. There is still time to do business there, but I just came up with a few ideas."

Fang Ruixuan snarled in his heart as to who spread the news that he advised Shen Haihai.Now the children of merchants can indeed take the imperial examination, but those who have official ranks are not allowed to do business.

Hu Zhixuan, who was writing large characters in the study to do the homework assigned by Fang Ruixuan, suddenly sneezed.

"Master Xuan, did you catch a cold? This old slave is going to report to his wife, please bring a doctor for you." The nanny who just happened to bring snacks to Hu Zhixuan said with concern.

Hu Zhixuan touched his nose and felt guilty for no reason, "I'm fine, nanny, it's just that my nose is itchy, and I don't feel any discomfort."
