I do research in ancient times

After the female family members of the Feng family left, Ningcun Workshop closed down.

Everyone:? !

The door is really closed, the door panels are covered, and the door is tightly closed.

This wave of operations caught everyone on Suzaku Avenue by surprise.

Originally, I thought I would go in and have a look after the Feng family left, but they left, and the Ningfu workshop also closed. What does this mean! ?

Really unable to understand the routine, everyone turned around unwillingly, and thoughtfully began to inquire about the situation around the bush.

This question really found something to do with it. Someone saw Aunt Mei, a butcher in Xicheng, at the door of the shop.After careful questioning, it turned out that Aunt Mei turned over and changed, and became the shopkeeper of the shop at the end of the alley on Zhuque Street!

As soon as the news came out, Sanshan Alley immediately became lively.Zhang Butcher, Zhang Butcher's wife, and Zhang's neighbors came to the door one after another. Aunt Mei met many "old friends", all of whom looked excited about reunion after a long absence, and completely forgot that they had a quarrel because of selling meat a month ago. .

"Sister, didn't you go out of the city with your son? Why did you suddenly come back and become the shopkeeper?"

"Sister, who is the owner of this shop? Such a grandeur, isn't he a very noble person in Beijing?"

"Ms. Mei, what do you sell in your shop? Why did it close on the first day? Is it not a good business?"

There are many kinds of things, anyway, one purpose is to dig out the old background of "Ning's Workshop".

This situation was also expected by Ning Fei.The strategy he set for Mrs. Mei was to brag. The more she brags, the better she will be. The nine lies are mixed with one truth, and when the time is right, she can sell them badly.

"The son is useless, and the fart hasn't come out, and I still have to rely on my mother to subsidize him to live!"

"What a blessing! It's clear that the kid owes foreign debts and wants to trick my old lady into going back to her old job!"

"Ha, I would like to, but now which building dares to accept my mother? Do you want to be a tortoise?"

"What do you sell in the store? They are all good things! I used to be quite knowledgeable in the building, but I have never seen the flower soap sold by the owner! It also has fragrance, which can only be used by dignitaries. baby!"

"It's better to raise a daughter, and let a master of the Xihai country take a fancy to it. The owner is a big businessman in the Xihai country, the richest family, and this kind of small shop is not very attractive."

"Where is Xihai Kingdom? It's at the north end of the grassland! I heard from our son-in-law that you have to go through the desert and sand to get there, and you have to cross the sea by boat!"

"Ah, Pinghua left with her husband-in-law. She was pregnant with the child and couldn't take the boat, so she had to take a detour through the desert. It was hard work! This little boy was born in the house in front of the son-in-law, so he was so disobedient. He robbed my grandson's family business!"

Anyway, bragging doesn't cost money, Aunt Mei says something different every time, and no one finds fault with her.

She is an ignorant butcher, so it's normal to talk nonsense, but it should be true that the ugly daughter has been used as a sequel, otherwise why would she be the shopkeeper.

Everyone felt that this matter was more and more reliable.

So in the past few days, Aunt Mei, surrounded by neighbors and "friends", has a very nourishing life every day.Good things are delivered to her door free of charge, and the flattering words make her ears callous. The neighbors who used to look down on her with black eyes and white eyes have now changed their flattering faces and become her "good sisters".

However, news about the "Ning's Workshop" gradually spread.It is said that the business is only for the nobles, and they sell soap, shampoo and toothpaste that no one else has heard of, and are only allocated to the aristocratic family.

Everyone in the city believed it.After all, the family members of the Feng family bought a large number of gift boxes a few days ago. The Feng family will never cheat, and the Ning family workshop really has good things.

However, the workshop has not opened since that day, saying that it only delivers goods to the capital, and does not do business in Ding'an City.

Now, the north and south merchants on Suzaku Street began to use their brains.

If you don't do business in Ding'an City, then this store is at most a transshipment point, and Aunt Mei can't be regarded as the shopkeeper, at most she is a shop assistant.

But buddy also has a usage of buddy.Everyone in the business knows that there must be loss in delivery.A carload of rice starts from the capital, and it is great to have one-third of the leftovers when it is delivered to the border towns. Of course, those that are missing have natural losses, and there are also benefits that are artificially picked out, which are reported as losses.

If you can convince that Hu Fu...

Anyway, there is nothing lucrative about looking at the store, so if you report more damages, can you still make a fortune? !

As a result, there were gradually more strange voices around Mrs. Mei.For example, "You can't make money if you don't open the business", "It's thankless to deliver goods to Beijing", "Don't just know how to do your best to make wedding dresses for others", etc., and they made Aunt Mei guard and steal.

Aunt Mei refused firmly at first, but her ears softened after listening to the words too much, and one day she finally vomited.

"Then...the loss can't be too much, can it? If there is too much, the master will be suspicious."

This was said to the wife of a former butcher, who got the message and went back to tell her boss overjoyed.The person who sent the messenger was a businessman from Nanjun. When he heard that Mrs. Hu had let go, a sneer appeared on her face with a mustache.

"Hmph, the barbarians are greedy, they only recognize copper coins, and they have no character."

He scolded hard behind his back, but the next day, the businessman from Nanjun came to visit Aunt Mei under the recommendation of Mrs. Zhang, the butcher's wife.

He was quite obedient, and he didn't talk about his character in front of Mrs. Mei who "only accepts copper coins". Instead, he said humbly that he was buying goods for the Lu family in Nanjun.

Aunt Mei didn't know the Lu family, but seeing the merchant's unconcealed arrogance, she guessed that this was a very powerful family.

Hehehe, I was planning to speculate at a high price, so why not be polite when the fat sheep is delivered to your door? !This time, Mrs. Mei showed her skills in killing pigs, and she danced vigorously with a butcher's knife. The four-color flower soap actually bid ten times the price.

The Nanjun businessman had a heartache, and felt that the price was too high in his heart.Isn't this a border town?The saponin powder sold in Beijing is not so expensive. Sure enough, Hu people only recognize copper coins.

But when Mrs. Mei showed him the trial outfit, the Nanjun businessman fell silent.

It is not the soap powder he imagined at all, but magical objects carved like jade and exuding fragrance. Each one has a different taste. After washing hands with it, the fragrance still remains on the hands.

And that Gentleman Soap, which is light but has a faint fragrance, will definitely be the favorite of the aristocratic gentleman!

The Nanjun businessman didn't mean that he was buying from the Lu family. He came from a small family that depended on the Lu family for a living.

Mr. Lu’s family is famous for its gentlemen, Junzi soap and Junzi’s box are both elegant and interesting. I heard that the master of Lu’s family and his younger brother are both masters of painting.

The most wonderful thing is that this is the first batch of goods that Xihai sent to the court, and the Feng family ordered some of them in a hurry, and the rest is not enough to enter Beijing, and they are still waiting to replenish later.

That is to say, now that the great cause is up and down, no one except the Feng family has ever used flower soap and box sets. If he can seize this opportunity to dedicate it to the master of the Lu family, it will definitely be a unique honor!

Thinking of this, the Nanjun businessman gritted his teeth, endured the pain and ordered fifty sets of boxes.

He really wanted more, but Aunt Mei would not let go, no matter how much she insisted, the master would be aware of it, so she had to give up.

Such "dirty transactions" frequently occurred in Ding'an City. By the time Ning Fei received the news, Aunt Mei had already sold out all the inventory in Ning's workshop.

Ning Fei sighed secretly, this old lady who danced the "palm dance" before was really good at dancing, she could step on seven or eight boats without capsizing, and she even coaxed every client into a happy mood, thinking that she had the only one Great deal!

talent!What a talent!

It's not just the businessmen who travel north and south who feel that they are taking advantage, but also the little brother Feng who returned home with enough money in his pocket is also satisfied.

He was finally able to fill up his Duobao Pavilion!All the things are produced by Mo Zong, and his little brother Fei made a custom order, and even the big brother doesn't have a copy of the foot washing powder.

After returning home, he wanted to sneak back to his own courtyard, but by coincidence, Chang Sui, who was sent by his father, went to the main courtyard.

Feng Dadu protects Da Ma Jindao sitting on the couch, with a piece of sheepskin spread out in front of him, on which is exactly the topographical map of the Monan Grassland.

Seeing the two sons coming in, he stretched out his hand and casually pointed to the couch.

"It's just in time, I'm going to send troops to Shizikou, and push Hu Qi to the west line of Xiaoling before the snow falls, what do you think?"

Hearing what he said, Feng Kai frowned slightly.

"Father, it wasn't originally planned to start spring, why did it suddenly come earlier?"

"Hey hey hey."

Feng Dahu scratched his head.

"Isn't there cement and heated kangs here? The west line of Xilingling will be frozen in winter. It was not occupied before because people would be frozen to death, but the land is good. If you build a fort, you can push it to the barbarian's demolition." City, don’t be in vain!”

"Now that we have these two treasures, why are we still waiting for the barbarians to hang around my head?! I will fence the land in winter, and if the barbarians want to come here in spring, they will have to trade their lives for it!"

Feng Kai narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and felt that although this plan was a bit radical, it was not impossible.

The left and right mountains must be taken back, and they cannot be left as a buffer for the Hu people to go south.

"Alright."

Feng Kai nodded, a blade flashed in his eyes.

"Then I will prepare tomorrow. The weather has already started to get cold. I don't know when it will snow. I want to send troops as soon as possible."

"As it should be."

Protector Feng's eyes were fixed on the map.

"It's thanks to your little friend, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to rush in like this. If this battle can be achieved, Mo Zong will have a great credit, and the Jiuling Lake they want must be given as soon as possible, so as not to say that our Feng family is not trustworthy. "

"nature."

After discussing the business, Feng Dadu turned his eyes and saw Feng Xiaodi who was holding a quail beside him.

"Guang Yuan also went with your elder brother to learn more this time, don't see Tian running around in the city. Your arms are bulging, what is that?"

Hearing the old man's question, little brother Feng immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"It's nothing, it's just a wooden box."

He said lamely.

"Wooden box?"

Feng Da has sharp eyes.

"Isn't that Mo Zong's box? The third girl has brought back quite a few of them today, and she's taken away your cousin's private room. What's in it?"

The elder brother was right in front of him, and the younger brother Feng didn't dare to lie to his father, so he just admitted that Ning Fei sent the foot washing powder.

"Soak your feet?"

Hearing this, Chief Protector Feng suddenly felt his feet itch, and stretched out his hand towards the youngest son out of habit.

"Bring it to your father and me to try."

"what?"

Brother Feng's ominous premonition came true, but he still wanted to struggle to the death.

"Father, it's inappropriate for you to soak your feet in this study."

"Bah! What is indecent! This is my house, my house, I can do whatever I want! Stop talking nonsense to me, and bring it here!"

So Xiaodi Feng wronged Baba and handed over the foot powder, and then was instructed to go to the small kitchen to ask for a pot of hot water.

"Father, then I'll go back and count the food and military supplies first."

Feng Kai stood up, reported to Feng Dadu, turned and left the main courtyard.

When he walked out of the study, he saw two lieutenant generals under Chief Protector Feng approaching and greeted the two old uncles, and the figure of Young Master Feng quickly disappeared into the night.

When Xiaodi Feng came back from the small kitchen, what he saw were three middle-aged people looking at the map together.

Brother Feng, who was holding a basin, stood at the door, hesitating whether to enter the house.

"What are you still doing?"

Chief Protector Feng waved at him.

"It just so happened that your two uncles just entered the city today, and they were tired from riding all the way. Send someone to bring two basins of water, so that everyone can relax together."

So he called a servant and brought two basins of water over.

Three basins were lined up, and Xiaodi Feng poured the khaki-colored foot-soaking powder. The slightly pungent powder melted in the water, and the clear water in the basin was no longer transparent.

"Come on, let's try it. I have never used this little brat's new rare thing!"

Feng Dadu said with a smile.

He is strict with his subordinates, but he is easy-going when he is not on official business. He often drinks and eats meat with his subordinates, but he is very easy-going.

This time, he didn't see anyone else, and Chief Protector Feng took off his leather boots directly.

The next moment, an indescribable smell erupted in the air, the layers were too rich to be described, it was undisguised like this, and it spread wantonly, so that Xiao Feng's legs went limp and he almost knelt down for his father .

woo woo woo woo!He knew that the big chicken thief had disappeared early in the morning, leaving him alone to suffer with his father!

However, Xiaodi Feng's pain is far from over.The two lieutenant uncles laughed, stretched out their hands and tore off their riding boots.

Brother Feng suffocated.

He struggled to leave this horrible place, but his legs were so soft that he couldn't even take a step.

The heroic laughter of the old man and the two uncles still echoed in his ears.

"Hahahaha, Dadu protects the prestige of the past!"

"There, you are still old, and your taste is actually worse than that of your old Tang. You are old and strong!"

"That's right. In the past, my brothers used to be so indifferent to old Tang, but now they are so powerful. It seems that you have worked hard this year, Old Tang..."

Several people are old acquaintances, and they are very familiar with each other's taste, so they are not affected at all.

It's just that little brother Feng has suffered, and now he has shared the joys and sorrows with his little brother Fei, his eyes are so hot that he can't open his mouth, and he is choked up when he is about to speak.

"Father...uncles, pot...soak..."

The few words that were barely squeezed out almost consumed all of Feng Xiaodi's mental strength.

It was only then that the two uncles noticed him, and they were a little embarrassed to see him so miserable.

"Ah, yes, it's time to wash up."

As soon as the feet entered the water, the salicylic acid and boric acid made the feet feel a little tingling, but the pain was not unbearable, and gradually turned into numbness, stimulating the original itching, and there was a vague sense of refreshment.

If Ning Fei was in front of him, he would have noticed that the three middle-aged men had severe beriberi, and skin lesions and ulcers had already begun to appear.Under the current medical conditions, if the ulceration worsens, it is very likely to transform into other serious infections, and even life-threatening.

The more people soaked, the more comfortable they became, and they couldn't help reaching in to scrub.The old skin that has been cracked is quickly softened under the action of salicylic acid, and it will fall off with a light tear.

"Cool!"

Feng Dadu patted his thigh.

"The more you soak it, the more refreshing it gets. This foot powder is so damn easy to use!"

Brother Feng wanted to take the opportunity to sneak out of his father's study, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't move.Finally, the three of them started to soak their feet, and the smell in the air dissipated a little. Brother Feng secretly gathered his strength to rush out the door, but saw that his father had already lifted his feet out of the basin.

Brother Feng's eyes darkened.

Grass!God wants to kill him!

But this time, the expected olfactory shock did not appear, and even Feng Dahu was taken aback for a moment.

"Oh? No smell?"

"Really gone?"

Most of them don't believe in evil, so they leaned close to their feet and smelled it, and they felt incredible.

"It's really tasteless! It doesn't itch anymore!"

Hearing the words, the two lieutenants also lifted their feet out of the basin and smelled in the same posture.

"Really! It's gone!"

"My feet are no longer itchy or sticky, it's so refreshing!"

"What kind of powder is this? It's so damn easy to use! Hahaha! I've smelled bad for decades, and it's gone!"

"Twelve Lang, where did you get this thing!? It's the savior of the old stinky feet!"
