From farming to business

Fertilizing and planting, taking care of the fields, these bits and pieces of work have been busy for less than half a month. From now on, I only need to go to the fields occasionally to see if there are any grasses and insects. Finally, I can take a break.

Yu Feng only has three acres of land in total, and he didn't have any more land to plant sweet potatoes, and he planted wheat seeds. It must be gratifying to see that the ears will be golden when the time comes.

There is no need to keep an eye on him all the time in the village, and he can also spare time to run around the town. Jia Hong is a smart man, and he can reveal many things at once, so he can't worry too much.

Apart from the things in the shop, Yu Feng came to town mainly to prepare for his marriage. There is still about a month before the date they set before, it sounds like there is still plenty of time, but in fact there are many trivial things, and it takes a lot of energy and time to do it .

He never wanted Su Yongyue to suffer any grievances from him, and he wanted to handle the rules and customs that should have been in marriage more carefully.

After saying hello, he went out to the teahouse. He told Qian Delai before that he wanted to invite a chef in the building to make some cakes for the wedding banquet. Today, he went to pick out the styles and try the taste.

Chang Le, a glutton, was supposed to go with him, but he pressed him to help Jia Hong run errands. He ate and ate like this every day, and that kid gained a lot of weight. It's time to move.

At that time, Qian Delai happened to be seeing off the guests at the door, and when he climbed up the steps, he greeted him with a bright smile, cupped his hands in a bow, and warmly called young master.

He said several times that there is no need to be so polite, and the other party never obeyed, and he stopped talking too much, nodded and said: "Today I will trouble the treasurer Qian."

"Everything the young master says is my duty." Qian Delai cupped his hands again, turned sideways and stretched out his hand towards the door, "Please, young master."

Afternoon is a good time to drink tea, there are not too few guests in the building, almost all the seats are full, and the strong tea fragrance wafts into the nostrils.

"Master, I won't let anyone greet you in advance, so I can reserve a good seat for you." Qian Delai led him to sit down in an inconspicuous corner, and bowed slightly to him apologetically.

"It's the same wherever you sit, but I delayed the shopkeeper's work by coming here." Yu Feng didn't mind, he didn't come here to drink tea in peace.

Hearing his words, Qian Delai hurriedly clapped his hands together in panic, and incidentally followed with a lot of words of praise.

Embarrassed by his praise, Yu Feng quickly changed the subject and asked the masters if they had time to spare. If he was too busy, he would come back when he had time, so as not to delay the serious business in the building.

"Young master, don't worry, we won't delay the matter." Qian Delai cupped his hands at him, turned to greet a waiter, and sent him to the back kitchen after a few instructions.

There are so many kinds of dim sum in the building, if you try every one of them, it may take some time, and it is easy to get tired of it, and if you can't figure out why, you won't bring everything.

There are wealthy families in the town who also hired the master in the building when they got married. They have a lot of experience in this, so it is not difficult for him to ask.

The appearance of the food served at the wedding banquet must be attractive and pleasing to enhance the color. Qian Delai asked people to bring over a few dishes that they used frequently, and if they were not satisfied, they could just change them.

Yu Feng didn't know much about dim sum, so he said he was here to pick out dim sum, but in fact he just tried what he recommended, but everything was delicious.

Most of the people in the village are not that particular, and dim sum is never served on the table, and the dim sum in the teahouse is as good as they are ordinary.

"If the young master is satisfied, then we will settle these?" Seeing that he had tasted it, Qian Delai asked with some questioning intent when he picked up the cup to drink tea.

The taste of the dim sum in his mouth was diluted by the tea, leaving only a faint lingering fragrance between his lips and teeth. Putting down the cup, Yu Feng nodded to him, "These are pretty good, thank you shopkeeper."

The other party is naturally better than him in this matter, and the recommended dim sum can be known without tasting, and he is satisfied with everything.

Qian Delai bowed and said, saying that when he gets married, he will definitely order the best craftsman in the building to go there in advance, so that he doesn't have to worry.

"I don't know if there is someone to choose the master cook for the wedding banquet?" After the waiter cleared away the dishes, he spoke again to the person sitting there.

Yu Feng paused while drinking tea, and raised his eyes to look at him questioningly.

Qian Delai replied with a smile: "I have dealt with the shopkeepers of several restaurants in the town. If the young master needs it, I can recommend one or two for you."

Yu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment, then said: "Then I will trouble Shopkeeper Qian to accompany me for a walk."

In fact, according to the meaning of the Su family couple, they wanted to find a few women with good craftsmanship in the village to help with the arrangement, which is usually the case when there are any weddings and ceremonies.

It's just that it's more troublesome. You have to buy all the vegetables and meat by yourself. He can't be too busy here. The Su family must help. The field still needs to be looked after, and they need to prepare simple banquets when they get married. I'm afraid it will be hard work in this way.

It's different for a restaurant to invite people, as long as you give enough money, everything will be prepared properly, and you don't need to worry about the master's craftsmanship, which can save you a lot of trouble.

There are not many restaurants in the town. After all, the whole town is only that big. Qian Delai has been there a few times, and with his perfect tongue, he became acquainted with each other over time.

After explaining to the clerks in the store, he led the people out of the teahouse. The clerks were all old people who had worked for many years, and they could handle occasional situations, so he didn't need to worry about them all the time.

It's getting colder and colder now, and the wind that blows is always mixed with chills. Fortunately, the weather today is not bad, and the sun shines on the body warmly.

When Yu Feng stepped out of the door, he raised his hand to cover the light that just hit his face, and when he got used to it, he put it down, with a smile on his face, his face softened and standing in the sunshine, like someone's handsome young man.

"Yu Feng?"

Qian Delai next to him made a gesture of invitation to him, and before he could respond to the other party stepping down the steps, he heard some uncertain voices, and subconsciously raised his eyes and looked over.

Among the passers-by, the women and girls standing still with some surprised expressions were very conspicuous, and their faces were even more surprised when they met his eyes.

Different from them, Yu Feng frowned slightly, he really didn't expect to bump into them like this, and he was afraid it would be some trouble.

Zhou Fen was stunned for a moment and then came back to her senses. She looked the man in brocade clothes up and down several times before she could confirm it. She grabbed her daughter's hand and walked over quickly, "I thought I was wrong. Well, it's really you, Boy Yu!"

They have already met head-on, and it is obviously impossible for Yu Feng to pretend not to know each other at this time. He raised his eyebrows and nodded with his usual expression, "Hello, Auntie, and Miss Su."

He has a good face, but before in the village, he was always dressed in gray and rough clothes, but now he is wearing a light blue silk and satin shirt, and his waist stands straight, which sets off his appearance even more. A handsome appearance.

Su Mei stared straight at him and lowered her eyelashes to avoid him when she met his gaze. With a little red on her face, she squeezed the handkerchief tightly and nodded in response.

"Boy Yu, you are really promising!" Zhou Fen stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve without any unfamiliarity, twirling his fingers to feel the smooth material, his eyes were shining when he looked at him.

Yu Feng withdrew his hands calmly, slipped the sleeves out from between her fingers, and only smiled at her praise, without saying much.

Qian Delai, who was standing beside him, had already sized up the two of them, guessing that the other party was probably someone the young master knew in the village, so he kept silent and didn't interrupt.

Seeing her own mother directly attacking her, Su Mei lightly poked her lower back to remind her that the relationship between them was a bit awkward, so it might be annoying.

"Why are you poking me?" It's just that Zhou Fen obviously didn't understand what she meant, and glanced at her in confusion. , are you going to such a big tea house to have tea?"

Although there was some friction with the other party because of Su Yongyue's relationship, but he was an elder after all, Yu Feng couldn't just ignore it like this, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "How can I, just help the shopkeeper in the store to reserve a table .”

Hearing his answer, Zhou Fen didn't really believe it. She glanced at the other party, then looked at the facade of the tea house, curled her lips and said, "Isn't Yu Xiaozi afraid that my aunt will take your tea and lie to me?"

"Auntie, what are you talking about..." Yu Feng waved his hands with a smile, and said, "Don't look at the glamorous clothes I wear, after all, I am still a poor boy in the village, how can I have spare money to spend my time in such places, but it's all The shopkeeper is just flattering you."

Zhou Fen looked him up and down suspiciously, not sure if what he said was true or not, but thinking about his generosity in recent days, he smiled again: "You are buying land and building houses, where are you?" You are still a poor boy, the clothes alone are probably worth a few taels of silver, so don't joke about it."

Although she lives in the village, she still has some ideas for marrying a rich family for her daughter. Such silk and satin materials are not a matter of tens of pennies.

Yu Feng twirled his fingers behind his back slightly, feeling troubled in his heart, he met someone from the Su family, "I work in a tailor shop, so I don't want to lose face in the shop , it’s just the clothes that the shopkeeper kindly matched, and in order to manage the wedding these days, how can I have such spare money.”

Zhou Fen who came and went didn't get anything out of his mouth, he felt a little unhappy, and said with a slightly sullen face: "The yard of the green brick house is always richer than us. "

Qian Delai's mind has always been active. Seeing his young master's eyes showing a hint of impatience, he rolled his eyes and cleared his throat and said, "Boy Yu, shopkeeper Jia told you to follow me to see the restaurant. It's not early at this time." Are you going or not?"

Yu Feng, who had never heard him talk to him like this before, turned his head and saw that the other party was raising his eyebrows at him slightly. With a move in his heart, he raised his hand and said, "I'm really sorry for delaying the shopkeeper's work, we will go now .”

Only then did Zhou Fen's eyes turn to the chubby middle-aged man. He was standing behind silently before, and she hadn't paid attention to it. Now she saw that he was dressed richly and looked like a rich man, "This is ..."

With his hands behind his back, Qian Delai looked at her with his chin slightly raised, his usual "smiling like a flower" round face was full of arrogance and dignity, he glanced at her as if extremely charitable, and did not speak.

Seeing his behavior, Yu Feng couldn't hold back his head and smiled with his lips pursed. He turned around when he could hold back his smile. If he hadn't known him before, he would have been deceived, "This It's the shopkeeper of the tea house, Master Qian."

Zhou Fen's eyes lit up after hearing his introduction. In such a big restaurant, he is a really rich man. He hurriedly straightened his clothes and said with a smile, "Yo, so it's the big shopkeeper."

Qian Delai glanced at her out of the corner of his eye with his chin raised, nodded and barely responded, and then before she could speak again, he raised his foot and walked past the person with a slightly impatient look on his face, obviously not Willing to delay here.

Yu Feng was amused in his heart, but he bowed his hands to the two with an apology on his face, saying that he really didn't have time today, he can wait until next time to entertain, and then hurriedly followed.

"Hey, this Yu boy, you really have no manners!" Zhou Fen was obviously displeased by turning his head and leaving like this. If such an old man could chat a few words, he might be able to find an errand for his son.

When the man walked by, the sleeves brushed against Su Mei's arm lightly, making her look at his back in a daze, only to regain her senses when she heard the words of the people around her, lowered her eyes, raised her hand to climb her arm, "Okay, mother, I have something to do."

After being comforted by her, Zhou Fen didn't have any more attacks. He thought that he would still have to talk to him in the village when he turned around. Now that he came to the town, the people he knew were different, so he must not let his own family be honored. .

"Hey, where did this little lady come from?"

Su Mei was about to drag her mother away, but she was blocked by someone in front of her. She raised her eyes and saw that the well-dressed son was looking at her with a smile, and looked up and down very presumptuously.
