Little husband, he is born with a good life

After that, Brother Yu picked up the shells with his two little claws, and didn't feed them into his mouth any more. He just played for a while.

If he couldn't stuff it into his mouth to taste it, he lost interest, let go of his hand drooling, and stared at the waves turning up by the sea with his big eyes.

The beach stretches as far as the eye can see, and many villagers rolled up their trousers to catch the sea. Zhou Ji Nian went to chat with the villagers to learn about people's livelihood.

Xie Ning was walking around with Brother Yu in his arms, and saw two fisher girls plowing the land far away from the coast with rakes.

Curiously, I walked over to see that what the fisherwoman was raking were yellow and white sand and gravel.

Xie Ning asked, "May I ask why you plow this sandy land? It can't grow food in this sandy land."

The fisher girl turned her head and glanced at him, looked him up and down and knew that he was not from the village, but seeing him hugging a white and tender milk doll, she replied kindly: "This is not cultivated land, we are drying salt."

Xie Ning looked panicked, "Salt?"

Knowing that he misunderstood, the fisher girl quickly explained: "It's just showing the pickled fish at home, not selling it."

"Oh..." Xie Ning nodded and nodded.

The salt and iron industry is state-owned and belongs to the government, and selling illegal salt is a capital offense.

Although the recipe for refining fine salt has not been announced, most of the villagers living by the sea know some, but it is not so fine.

Xie Ning squatted down to carefully look at the mixed sand and salt on the ground. The salt block was turned over by a rake, and after the seawater evaporated, there were only small stone-sized blocks left.

If the seawater is subjected to solar evaporation in a clean pool, filtered once and then continued to be exposed to the sun, relatively clean coarse salt will be obtained.

Xie Ning thought to himself, it's no wonder that salty dried salted fish and dried kelp are only sold cheaply in Nanyu County, it's because of this convenience.

As a businessman by nature, it is inevitable that his mind will come alive...

It is really unreasonable to not let Brother Yu go into the water when we come to the seaside, and Xiao Yu'er became fussy.

"Come on, Brother Yu... Brother Yu, look here, will Daddy tell you to wash your hands?"

Xie Ning carried Brother Yu to the small pool dug by the fishermen, there were a few small fish and shrimps in it.

Brother Yu was greedy, pointing at the sea and yelling.

"Wow..." Brother Yu cried out in a low voice, matching the sound of the waves crashing, showing his small body's longing for the sea.

Xie Ning said with a smile, "How old are you? Let you go swimming there, and you will be swept away by a single wave."

"Wow?" Brother Yu yelled, clicked his small mouth, and moistened his throat.

"Wow what? Daddy is going to buy a sea fish and cook it for you, okay?"

"Ah, I'm afraid!" Brother Yu slammed his father's shoulder back in boredom, and gnawed on his father's clothes on his stomach with his little butt pouted.

Xie Ning didn't recruit him again, and went to the fishermen to discuss buying sea fish with his chubby son on his shoulders.

Zhou Jinnian came over to meet him, picked up his fleshy young son and held him in his arms, "What are you going to do?"

"Go and buy two sea fish, and ask for the price by the way. He wants to swim, so you coax him." After speaking, Xie Ning went to find someone to inquire about the price.

Zhou Jinnian shook Yu Ge'er in his arms, and Yu Ge'er's cheeks trembled when his father shook him.

"Do you want to play with water, son?" Zhou Jinnian asked, and immediately made a decision for his son.

Brother Yu can't walk yet, and he can barely stand. It seems that except for swimming flexibly, all his development is a bit slower.So he hasn't started wearing shoes yet. On his feet are the fine cotton socks that Xie Ning gave him. A rope was sewn on the top of the socks to tie his legs and fix the socks.

Zhou Jinnian untied his son's socks, took them off and put them in a small bamboo basket, then lifted his hem and stuffed it into his waistband. Barefoot, he carried Brother Yu and walked towards the wet sandy ground.

"Tap and see." Zhou Jinian held up his son.

Brother Yu was hanging two white radishes and little fleshy feet. The soles of his feet felt cool and wet sand, soft and fresh. He squinted his eyes and smiled happily.

After exploring the sandy ground twice, Zhou Jinnian carried Brother Yu to stand on the shallow water.

As usual, Yu Geer was pinched by his father, hanging two fleshy white legs to explore the sea water. As soon as he touched the water, Yu Geer was so excited that his shrill laughter increased a degree, "Ahahaha ..."

Zhou Jinian also raised the corners of his lips, "Are you happy?"

Brother Yu kicked his legs upside down very fast, but the sea water barely touched his plump feet, so he kicked Zhou Jinnian's trousers in the sea water.

After holding brother Yu and playing in the sea at close range for a while, Xie Ning called out to people on the shore, and the parent-child activities of playing in the water were just finished.

Zhou Jinnian wiped Brother Yu's feet carefully with the hem of his robe, Xie Ning put on fine cotton socks for his son, and walked back with a small bamboo basket and a fish in the last hand.

……

Sitting back in the carriage, Xie Ning gave water to his son while talking about his plan, "In the lonely year, I want to collect dried fish and dried shrimps and bring them back to Yuezhou Prefecture, where they can be sold at Xieji Food Shop."

"Hey, no way, it's a loss-making business."

Before Zhou Jinnian could speak, the cheerful coachman interrupted.

Xie Ning looked at the next week's lonely year, raised the car curtain and asked, "Why are you losing money?"

"You see, you need horses and horse-drawn carts to transport goods, and the carts must be unbreakable, but this carriage cannot fit even ten taels of it."

"Oh..." Xie Ning nodded.

The coachman continued: "Also, even if you don't need money, this luyin won't be able to sign you."

Xie Ning nodded his head quickly this time. This is true. Wherever you go, you must have a guide signed by the government. People who pass through the checkpoint pay the tax for people, and the goods are taxed for delivery.

With these thresholds blocked, it was extremely difficult for the various prefectures and cities of the Qing Dynasty to form a population flow.

"The road is high and the water is far away. I have no fists and feet, and there are many difficulties. In the first few years, I heard that someone died while running a business. Guess how he died?"

Xie Ning shook his head, and guessed, "Meet a robber on the road?"

The coachman shook his head, pretending to be mysterious.

"The carriage fell off the cliff?"

Only then did the coachman give an answer with satisfaction, "Neither, he died of starvation."

"..." Xie Ning understood, this is probably the reason why the goods are difficult to circulate.

Xie Ning sat back and didn't say anything, but kept thinking about things.

All the way back to the county magistrate's mansion, Lin Jin came to hug brother Yu, shaking and shaking, not enough for his own grandson.

"You smell like salted fish, grandpa will take you to wash and play in the water, isn't brother Yu happy?" After speaking, he carried the little baby and left.Recently, he and his husband visited the shops in the county, planning to open the second whole fish feast in Nanyu County.

After his son was carried away, Zhou Jinnian went back to the room. He cleaned his hands outside first, and then walked around the screen. He saw Xie Ning sitting on the bed and chair under the window in a daze.

Zhou Jinnian sat down next to him in the past, knowing that Xie Ning was worried about transporting goods and running a business, he explained: "There is no rush to make money, when the granaries in Nanyu County are abundant and the people have a stable place to live, my husband will find a way." Earn money for you."

Xie Ning misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "It's not about making money, I'm not in a hurry!"

After finishing speaking, he put his hand on Zhou Jinnian's thigh, and continued: "I just like to do business, and I feel very happy when I get a small result, and I feel that... I have a plan?"

Zhou Jinnian raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "He has self-confidence."

Xie Ning nodded, stood up and straddled Zhou Jinnian's lap, buried his upper body in his husband's arms, and muttered: "I don't know how to assist you in governing the county, and I don't know how to be an official."

"So I want to try my best to make the people of Nanyu County have a share of income. Did you know that sea fish is actually cheaper than river fish, and the shrimp has less meat, and it takes a lot of meat to salvage, so it can't be sold at a price."

Zhou Jinnian leaned back, changed into a comfortable position, put his arms around Yu Bao, and listened quietly.

"But when we cross the state capital, shrimps are rare."

"..."

He murmured to himself, talking here and there, talking non-stop, and when he had said enough, he raised his upper body and looked at Zhou Ji Nian, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

Only now did Zhou Jinnian look at Ning Lang steadfastly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Husband's big baby! Why do you think you can't help me? I have an idea now, only you can help me."

Xie Ning's eyes lit up immediately, he shook his body, held Zhou Jinnian's face in his hands and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

"Nanyu County has a vast land, but it is sparsely populated and lacks labor force, so the construction of the county has been lagging behind." Zhou Jinian pulled off Xie Ning's hand and held it to play, the ice-cold feeling was very comfortable.

"Ah?" Xie Ning pouted, "How can I help you? Where can I find someone for you?"

Zhou Jinnian let out a muffled laugh, and shook Ning Lang's paw, "You don't need to find someone, you just do food business."

"In a few days, I will host a banquet for talented people around Nanyu County. Would you like to help my husband research delicacies? I will use the main course of the banquet you prepared as the theme, and have a wine order competition, and the first prize will be rewarded."

Xie Ning said with a look of surprise, "Oh? You want these talented people to build you a house?"

"Oh..." Zhou Jinnian pinched Xie Ning's chubby lips, "Why are you so stupid, the scholar is weak, how can you build without strength?"

"Hmm..." Xie Ning's lips were pinched together, and his voice could not come out.

"I want the delicacy you cook to become the signature of Nanyu County. It will be spread first in Qingping County, then in Xijiang County, and then in Jianzhou Prefecture. Finally, it will be known all over the country, attracting talented scholars, wealthy merchants, and dignitaries to taste the delicacy. .”

"Where there are people, it will be lively, and a lively place will slowly become prosperous."

Xie Ning pouted and raised his head back, tore off his husband's bad hand, and answered in surprise: "Then there will be businessmen who will build houses, open shops, and run businesses!"

"That's right!" Zhou Jinnian nodded in approval.

Supporting Zhou Jinnian's shoulders, Xie Ning jumped up and stood on the ground, saying, "I'm going to the kitchen!"

Said that the wind is the rain, Zhou Jinian smiled and shook his head, and also got up to go to the study to deal with business.

……

Xie Ning has been so busy these days that he occasionally stops to be dazed and his mind is full of delicacies.

Brother Yu is now crawling fast. Most of the buildings in Nanyu County are built of wood, and the ground is covered with planks, so he is tightly wrapped and crawls around.

The weather in Nanyu County in November is not very cold, but it is very dry. Brother Yu has to be fed water several times a day. His grandfather takes good care of him, for fear that his grandson will get angry.

But today Lin Jin and Zhou Feng went out to book a shop, and brother Yu was left at home to be taken care of by his own father Xie Ning.

Xie Ning put the newly bought fat shrimp into the bucket, intending to raise it for an afternoon and tell the shrimp to spit out all the sand in its belly.

"Ah... ah!" Brother Yu held a dried angelica in his two paws, and sat at Qiang Huo's feet in a lump.

Qianghuo is very free now, and Zhou Jinnian will send someone to buy the medical books he wants. He is obsessed with medical skills, and from time to time he travels to the mountains to collect medicines. Once he goes for more than ten days, his master never mentions him.

However, he also helped the Zhou family a lot. Zhou Feng's leg disease was often cloudy and wintery, and the pain in the bones was unbearable. He was cured by Qianghuo acupuncture and medicinal wine.

He came down from the mountain again this time, and carried a basketful of medicinal herbs, among which the angelica was to be brewed in wine, the angelica was sweet and heavy, and it was specially used to nourish blood.

"This is angelica, warm in nature. Lei Gong has a book saying: enter the heart, liver, and lung meridians." Qiang Huo's movements were rigid, and he was still talking to the little brother Yu.

"The strip you are holding is Guishen." Qiang Huo cut off the last section, kept the root of the angelica, handed it to Brother Yu, and said, "This is Guishen."

Brother Yu still grabbed the one in his hand and turned around, his small mouth was glistening with water, and there was still a drop of saliva hanging from his chin, and he didn't listen to Qiang Huo's words.

"Do you know why it is called angelica?" Qiang Huo asked himself and answered, "There is no one who grows flax. It really didn't return at that time."

Seeing that the little boy ignored him, Qiang Huo took it back and continued cutting.

"Ah!" Yu Geer shouted anxiously as he lost the things in his hand.

Qiang Huo hurriedly took the scissors to cut a five-finger peach, "Here, I'll give you a bigger one."

The five-fingered hair peach is as long as an adult's small arm, with thick and thin fingers, and is yellow with dead branches.

Brother Yu pursed his small mouth, grabbed Wuzhi Maotao and shook his hands up and down, Wuzhi Maotao fell to the ground and slapped the wooden floor with a muffled 'pop' sound.

"Scared... afraid!"

Qiang Huo laughed loudly, "Why are you still learning voice? But you want to be a ventriloquist?"

"Ah... wow..." Brother Yu scratched his foot with one small claw, and gently scratched the wooden floor with the five-fingered peach in one hand.

Then he looked at Qianghuo who was laughing, and stared blankly at the expression of the adults with big eyes. After confirming that Qianghuo's expression was friendly, he turned his head and began to 'slap' the floor again.

There was also a sound of "scared and scared" in his mouth.

Lu He came into the house with a dustpan in her arms, and her first move was to squat in front of Brother Yu and make noises with her tongue to tease the baby.

"Hey!"

Brother Yu heard the voice, raised his head and looked at Lu He and laughed, "Haha...ha...haha..."

Lu He took a handkerchief to wipe the saliva off Brother Yu's chin, and patted his round head, "What are you doing with the stick?"

She stretched out her hand to pinch the five-finger hair peach, Brother Yu let go of the situation, and both claws went to pick her own feet, she was not angry, and still smiled.

Luhe looked at the five-finger hair peach back and forth, and then gave it back to him, "Here, you can play, I will go to dry the sweet potatoes. Your father steamed a lot of sweet potatoes. I will hide them for you when they are dried. eat slowly."

Qianghuo lowered his head to cut angelica, but raised his head when he heard the words and said anxiously: "No, he is only one year old, dried sweet potatoes are not easy to digest, and eating too much sweets is not good for his teeth."

Luhe gave a light 'ah' and nodded clearly.

"Besides, if he eats too many sweets, he won't eat that tasteless food anymore."

"Oh." Luhe continued to nod, and touched Brother Yu's little feet, "Okay then, I won't eat it for you."

When Brother Yu heard the word 'eat', he was very sensitive. He immediately tapped his mouth, dropped the five-fingered peach, and raised his two small arms to be hugged by Luhe.

"Hmm..." Moaning and chirping, he rubbed his little butt on the floor, anxiously.

Usually adults hug him to eat, so he will hug him when he is hungry.

Luhe simply picked him up and played with him for a while, although Brother Yu is a small ball, not as long as an adult's calf, but he is the most precious person in the Zhou family, and everyone loves him.
