After becoming a big farmer

Chapter 50 Birthday

The word "jealous" comes from Fang Xuanling, a famous minister in the former dynasty, because his wife would rather drink poison than allow Fang Xuanling to take a concubine, and the poison was prepared by Tang Taizong, so the world uses "jealous" To describe the world's exclusive share of feelings and jealousy of other people's intervention.

Although Zhou Shu's behavior just now seemed to be jealous, but she would never admit it no matter what, she said: "I just think of Shiro, lest Shiro say that when he meets everyone, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Qi Wangwang was not disappointed, instead he said with a smile: "Don't worry, little lady, I will only praise you in the future, and I will only tell you!"

Hearing these words, Zhou Shu felt strange in his heart, a sense of satisfaction and secret joy of monopolizing something.

No matter how you look at it, this kind of thinking is like the "jealousy" that Qi Wangwang said, Zhou Shu didn't dare to think about it any more, she changed the subject calmly, and remembered that it would be Qi Wangwang's birthday soon.

At that time, people would not celebrate their birthdays, unless they encountered integer birthdays, such as 30 years old, 40 years old, etc. Of course, the birthdays of emperors and queen mothers were celebrated every year. For this reason, the "Tianning Festival" was specially set up. ", "Tiansheng Festival" and other holidays.

Ordinary people just eat a meal as a family, and the elders give gifts to the underage children.

What Qi Wangwang receives on his birthday every year is basically money from his elders, or a good meal, but nothing else.

In addition, she didn't pay much attention to these things at first, so that when Zhou Shu gave her a hairpin, she thought it was a thank you gift for the hairpin from herself.However, the stitches on the top of the Futou seem to be uneven. Apart from the fact that the fabric is better, it is impossible to tell which shop sells the Futou.

Fortunately, Qi Wangwang didn't say anything about the uneven stitches. Seeing that she didn't dislike her, but put it on happily, Zhou Shu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I wanted to wait until the day of Shiro's birthday to give it to me. A tea merchant came to negotiate a deal, and I was afraid that I couldn’t give it to Shiro myself, so I sent it earlier.”

Qi Wangwang: "Ah, so my birthday is coming up!"

Zhu Zhu said: "Isn't that right? The little lady remembers Mr. Silang's birthday! In order to sew up this Futou before that, I stayed up late for several nights!"

Realizing that this is a futou sewn by Zhou Shu himself, Qi Wangwang is so happy that his mouth almost reaches his ears: "Little lady remembers my birthday, so she sewed a futou for me!"

"Your date of birth is included in the post about marriage, how could I forget it?" Zhou Shu deliberately ignored her smirk, because he was afraid that he couldn't help but laugh too.

As for the Futou, she did sew it by herself, but because she is not good at female red, the Futou she sewed was disgusted by her mother Chen for a long time.

Originally, she thought about just buying one, but when she thought that when she gave Qi Wangwang the sachet, Qi Wangwang thought it was sewn by her, and it was like finding a treasure, so she decided to buy a futou. , It is rare to ask Mrs. Chen how to sew.

Zhou Shu destroyed a lot of fabrics to sew this one that she was more satisfied with.

Qi Wangwang had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and she asked, "When will the discussion with the Fuzhou tea merchants end that day?"

"You have to go home for dinner."

Qi Wangwang rolled his eyes, Zhou Shu didn't know what kind of idea she had thought of, and seeing that she didn't want to talk, he didn't ask her.

On the day of Qi Wangwang's birthday, she had lunch with her family at Qi's house, and then unwrapped the gifts that everyone gave her at Fang's place. Fang gave her a land deed, and Wu gave her For a Fuxi-style piano, Qi Erlang and Guo Shi gave her a set of the Four Treasures of the Study in Xuanzhou, and even Qi Sanlang also gave her a calligraphy and painting.

When the members of the Qi family found out that Fang had given more than half of her dowry—the woodland in Chuting Township and some fields elsewhere to Qi Wangwang, they were not surprised at all, as if it was expected. .

In addition to the Fang family, Qi Chen also gave Qi Wangwang the income from several hectares of land under his name. Although the document has not yet been officially written, everyone knows that Qi Chen has divided the family property to Qi Wangwang in advance.

Qi Erlang and Qi Sanlang were not surprised either. Qi Wangwang didn't know until Wu mentioned it. It turned out that Qi Chen had made up his mind to divide the family property in advance when he agreed to Qi Sanlang's marriage. The documents are not established, because once the documents are established, others can use the secular rule of "parents do not separate families" as an argument.

The Qi family has fifty or sixty hectares of land, and Qi Wangwang's income is only a few hectares, which is already considered small.So Fang distributed her dowry, more than half of the woodland and fields under her name to Qi Wangwang, and the Qi family would not say anything.The Wu family also has a dowry, so Qi is naturally expected in the future.

Qi hoped to become a small landlord with assets of several hectares from Mr. Silang, who was dependent on the Qi family for survival. She felt that there was no difference except that her income increased and the day of separation came earlier, so she again Heartlessly, he left the house with a bunch of ingredients.

Zhou Yuanwai and Mrs. Chen knew she was coming, because she sent someone to tell them in advance, and she also said that she wanted to eat hot pot.

Zhou Yuanwai and Mrs. Chen didn't know what hot pot was, but when she came and someone set it up again, they realized that it was for cooking.

Qi Wangwang said: "It's cold, so hot pot is delicious!"

Chen asked her: "Why is it called hot pot?"

Qi Wangwang said: "I don't know either. According to what I heard, the fire is probably burning the pot, so it's called hot pot!"

Hot pot has existed since ancient times, but the name was determined relatively late. At present, everyone has the habit of shabu-shabu, but there is no fixed name.

Under normal circumstances, it will be named after the ingredients that are the main ingredients. For example, boiled mutton is the main ingredient, which is called "mountain boiled sheep".

Qi Wangwang brought nine kinds of ingredients, including meat and vegetables, and various seasonings.She is all fortunate that ingredients such as peanuts, potatoes, and peppers have appeared at this moment, because with these ingredients, she can also find the feeling of making hot pots in later generations when making seasonings.

The winter night came faster, and it was only after you, and the sky gradually darkened, and Zhou Shu's carriage also slowly stopped in front of Zhou's house.She was not surprised when she heard that Qi Wangwang was here, but entered the room with a smile on her face.

In the hall, she saw a round table set up. On the table was a stove with a large pot on top and a charcoal fire under the stove. All kinds of vegetables and meat were placed on the left and right.

Inside the pot was a pot of boiling white thick soup, a meaty aroma came out, and at the same time dispelled the chill from the whole body.

"Little lady, come and eat!" Qi Wangwang's eyes sparkled.

Zhou Shu untied the crane cloak and put it away for Zhu Zhu, then looked at his parents who were sitting at the table with their eyes on the pot, and said, "This is..."

"I brought pork bones to make soup, and then I will eat the meat later, dip it in the seasoning I prepared, and try how it tastes!" Qi Wangwang hurriedly pulled Zhou Shu to sit down.

Zhou Yuanwai and Chen Shi saw their hands touching each other, just as Chen Shi was about to speak, Zhou Yuanwai tugged on her sleeve, but she didn't say "a man and a woman can't kiss each other".

She silently told herself that all the people present were from her own family, and the two were getting married soon, so she could turn a blind eye.

After Zhou Shu and Qi Wangwang sat down, Chen Zizai also came back from the outside, and Zhou Yuanwai called him to sit down and eat together.

Chen Zizai didn't ask why Qi Wangwang was here, and everyone ate quietly. After eating the hot food, their whole bodies warmed up, so the atmosphere became better and better. Chen Zizai asked Zhou Shu, "Come over today." The tea merchants who are negotiating, I heard that their Huang family also has a tea garden in Fuzhou, why do they want to come to Xinzhou to buy tea?"

Zhou Shu said: "Although the Huang family has a tea garden, they also want to use new tea to attract more people to buy tea, so every year the Huang family will go to Jian'an to buy tea. This summer, they passed by Xinzhou and learned about the ancient Good tea, so I became interested in it. It's a pity that it was the young man of the Huang family who came here at that time. He couldn't make a decision, so he went back to discuss with the head of the Huang family. Recently, he planned to find the Zhou family to order new tea for the coming year."

"Did the cousin agree?"

Zhou Shu looked at him, but didn't answer directly: "We talked very well."

Chen Zizai knew that he shouldn't ask further questions, so he had to talk about other things: "I heard that the Huang family should have expanded the tea business a few years ago, but because they were implicated in some incidents more than ten or twenty years ago, they spent money on tea. It took years to recover."

Member Zhou looked at him, seeming a little curious, but Zhou Shu didn't say anything, but Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked, "Then what happened to the Huang family? Will the Zhou family be implicated now?"

Qi Wangwang didn't like to hear these gossips at first, but since it was related to the Zhou family, she had to prick her ears up.

Chen Zizai lowered his voice, and said: "I heard that it happened when the official family Qianlong. At that time, the official family competed with the seventh prince for the throne. The second wife of the Huang family married the daughter of a judicial officer from Fuzhou who joined the army, but the judicial officer joined the army. With the officials of the Seventh Prince's Party, so when the Seventh Prince was liquidated after the official family ascended the throne, the Judiciary joined the army and was deprived of his official position, and the Huang family's eldest family was also implicated by the Second Household, life in Fuzhou was very difficult..."

"Fortunately, the Huang family has a relative named Xia, and the Xia family is the Zhang family's in-laws, so for the Zhang family's sake, the officials in Fuzhou did not kill the Huang family. But the injury of the Huang family, That's ten or twenty years."

The Zhang family in Fuzhou is a well-known family in Linchuan, Fuzhou. Everyone knows that the Qi family is still slightly inferior to the Zhang family.

"Cousin is amazing, he can even inquire about these things." Zhou Shu smiled slightly.

Chen Zizai thought she was praising him, and smiled back: "After all, if you want to do business with the other party, it's better to know the basics."

Zhou Yuanwai cleared his throat and said: "Now that's all in the past. I also met Huang Yuanwai yesterday. He is a humble man. He buys tea with the Zhou family. No matter what his purpose is, it is also beneficial to the Zhou family." , if the reputation of the Zhou family's ancient good tea can be further spread, it will be a win-win situation."

After finishing speaking, he asked Qi Wangwang: "Is that what you said, win-win?"

Qi Wangwang nodded: "Yes, win-win."

Zhou Yuanwai laughed again: "What a good use of this word!"

Zhou Shu also chuckled beside him. The family seemed to be enjoying themselves, and the topic was shifted away. Chen Zizai felt that it was not suitable for him to stay here. After a while, he went back to his room first.

When Zhou Shu and Qi hoped to finish eating, they went to the next house for a walk.

The main building of the house has been rebuilt, only some waterside pavilions and miscellaneous courtyards have not yet been built, and two or three lamps are placed there, adding a little light to the house.

At this time the moon has not yet come out, the surroundings are quiet, Qi Wangwang looked around for a while, and then quietly approached Zhou Shu.Knowing that she was afraid, Zhou Shu smiled quietly, and asked her again: "Did Shiro receive any gifts today?"

Qi Wangwang said: "I received a Fuxi-style piano from my mother. I will bring it someday and play it for the little lady! Also, my father and my mother gave me some land deeds... by the way , from now on, the woodland in Biezhuang, Chuting Township will be mine, and I can plant many fruit trees there, what kind of fruit does the young lady want to eat?"

Zhou Shu thought for a while: "Green plums, Shiro likes to eat preserved fruits, green plums can be soaked in honey, and can be dried to eat."

"Then you can grow green plums, and you can cook wine and eat them!"

After Qi Wangwang's birthday, it will be Laba soon, and after Laba, it will be the New Year.At this moment, Xinzhou City has become lively, and many people who have worked for a year have also returned to their hometowns for the festival.

Zhou’s tea plantation also gave tea-picking Laohu tenants a few days’ vacation, and those who didn’t take the vacation also got double wages. For those wages, the hired workers whose families were nearby stayed to work actively, and came back at night Keep the New Year's Eve together with your family.

Qi Wangwang and Qi Sanlang were also detained at home for the New Year, and Qi Chen specially invited the female prostitutes from Washe back to perform, including funny plays, singing and dancing, and dancing.Especially for the funny play, Fang, who was always only able to be amused by Qi Wangwang, couldn't stop laughing.

After the new year, Qi Chen held Qi Sanlang's coronation ceremony again, which means that he has grown up, and thinking that his marriage day is approaching, the Qi family is busy again.

On the fifth day of February, Qi Sanlang's wedding party set off from Xinzhou City to Yiyang.
