Respect the little husband [farming]

The money needed to buy furniture is not a small amount, so Shen Wenxuan didn't plan to buy it in the woodware store, but asked the carpenter in the village to make a set of tables, chairs, cabinets, beds, and small things like washbasin racks and bathtubs. thing.

These things are very simple to make, and Shen Wenxuan can do it by himself, but it would be time-consuming and laborious to do it by himself, so Shen Wenxuan asked the carpenters in the village during the few days of building the house.

The carpenter had some friendship with Zhang Tieniu's family, so Shen Wenxuan was not required to pay a deposit, and he was only asked to pick it up when the time came.

Shen Wenxuan made an estimate, and the whole set cost less than two taels of silver.

Now he was standing in the little boss's grocery store.The short boss’ surname is Zhuang, so let’s call him Boss Zhuang.

Aunt Zhang has always used lard to make rice. Although Shen Wenxuan ate it without changing his face, it was not delicious to be honest.There is a strong fishy smell in the lard, and the fried vegetables are also very greasy, so this time Shen Wenxuan didn't ask for a catty of lard, but bought half a catty of soybean oil, three taels of lard, and two taels of sesame oil, which cost 960 yuan. arts.

In addition, I also need pepper, ginger, chili, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. Zanthoxylum bungeanum is slightly more expensive, 35 renminbi for one or two, 25 or [-] renminbi for ginger and pepper, [-] renminbi for vinegar, and [-] renminbi for soy sauce.

Shen Wenxuan asked for a tael of Chinese prickly ash, three taels of ginger and chili, a catty of vinegar and soy sauce, and spent another 540 Wen.

Originally, Shen Wenxuan wanted some pepper, but Boss Zhuang said that pepper was an expensive spice, and his small shop couldn't afford such things, so Shen Wenxuan had to give up.

In addition, there are chopping boards, rolling pins, steamers, bowls and chopsticks, oil lamps, lanterns, facial handkerchiefs, soap horns, pounding pestles and other sundries, which add up to three hundred cash.

Boss Zhuang tiptoed to pack the things Shen Wenxuan bought one by one, and gave him a few small jars to pack things in as usual, but the eyes that looked at Shen Wenxuan from the corner of his eyes were very surprised.Buying so many things is either for moving to a new house or for marrying a bride.

And ordinary people don't spend so much when buying things, not to mention pepper and ginger, which are not cost-effective, ordinary people don't touch them at all, and even the oil family doesn't necessarily use a catty a year.

Is a rich stubble!

Boss Zhuang packed the things and handed them to him, and also gave him a few more small jars, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't look at me as a small shop, I haven't displayed many things. If there is anything you want in the future, Mr. , give me an order, and I promise to find it for you."

Shen Wenxuan nodded, smiled politely, glanced back at the sugar bowl on the cabinet, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked, "How do you sell this sugar?"

"This is cane sugar, one tael is 150 renminbi, brown sugar is cheaper, and one tael is 120 renminbi. I also have candied fruit here, but it is more expensive." Boss Zhuang said with a smile.

Shen Wenxuan responded with the same smile as he did, then turned around resolutely, not buying it!

He only knew that sugar was very expensive in ancient times, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. Two taels of sugar were more expensive than a catty of white flour!There are other scattered things. Was the cost of living in ancient times so high?

Out of the grocery store, Shen Wenxuan went straight to Chaishi Street. Fortunately, this time there was no danger to block the way. Shen Wenxuan successfully found the family surnamed Liang in the back alley. Since they were selling private salt, the family was very cautious.

At first they said they would not sell salt, but it was not until Shen Wenxuan brought out the name of the owner of the grocery store that the Liang family relaxed their vigilance, but they only sold him five taels of salt at most, and did not sell any more.

Five taels was half a catty, and Shen Wenxuan reckoned it was quite a lot, so he bought it for [-] Wen.

Shen Wenxuan turned around and went to the grain store again. He was planning to buy more grain-wrapped noodles before, but he really tasted the taste of bread-wrapped noodles. Sour, a bit like rotten cornmeal.

So Shen Wenxuan decisively bought five catties of polished rice and five catties of white flour, three catties of cornmeal and one catty of sweet potatoes, a total of [-] cash. museum.

He carried a pannier on his back, which already contained a lot of things, and he was carrying small clay pots for oil and vinegar in his hand. Although the grain he bought was not very heavy, he had nothing to hold it.

After buying the list in his mind, it was already afternoon. Shen Wenxuan rubbed his belly, sat down at a wonton stand and ate wontons. The skin was thin and the stuffing was big.

After a few days, this small county town is more lively than before. Compared with the first time I saw it, there are some signs of prosperity. Although it is still a street with low houses and dirt, a carriage passing by can raise a layer of soil.

Shen Wenxuan sat with his back facing the road, protecting his wonton.

"Hey."

There was a sudden sound from behind, Shen Wenxuan paused, turned around and looked, it was the carriage that stopped, and a young master in red silk came down from the carriage with a stinky face, Shen Wenxuan narrowed his eyes and thought carefully, He remembered that this kid was called Muzi...Xin?

Why can I see him every time I come to the county?Crouch?

Shen Wenxuan turned back and continued eating his own wontons, pretending not to see the young master who was walking over.

When Mu Zixin saw his arrogant attitude, his anger rose up, but thinking of his father's explanation, he reluctantly suppressed his temper, and went into the simple shed of the wonton stall with disgust and sat down. Beside Shen Wenxuan.

With a light cough, Mu Zixin began to recite the long speech his father taught him, without any emotion, just like an old monk chanting scriptures.

Shen Wenxuan: "..."

During the whole process, Shen Wenxuan counted the money silently in his heart while eating. He still had 16 taels and 81 cash left after the purchase. They will observe the shops in the county, including woodware shops, ironware shops, inns, brothels, and restaurants. It stands to reason that this place is not a prosperous place, but it has all kinds of internal organs. Probably because it is close to the border, those soldiers and military masters Become the main consumer.

Mu Zixin wiped his face and stood beside him for a long time. When he looked up, he saw Shen Wenxuan eating his own food without raising his eyelids, and he didn't listen to a word!

He is the most favored young master of the Mu family, how could he bear such treatment!Immediately, he slapped the table and got up, so angry that he wanted to throw his chair at him, but fortunately the boy next to him stopped him, and patted his chest to give him relief.

Shen Wenxuan put down the spoon in his hand with a bang, slowly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his mouth, got up, paid, and left.

"Hey! Did you hear the deal I mentioned just now?! You draw me the same picture, and I'll give you twice as much as Fatty Wang gave you! No! Three times!"

Mu Zixin was so angry that he stopped in front of him, he was already so submissive, what else does this person want? !grass!If Fatty Wang hadn't handed over Qu Yuanli's blueprint to the adults in the county to make it, and they couldn't copy it, would he have to surrender his status to deal with such a rural herder?Think of him losing face!

"Quyuanli is only for sale once. If you want a blueprint, go to Boss Wang. Don't harass me."

Is he very busy?

It is said that Boss Wang's mind is quite brilliant, Quyuanli's craftsmanship is simple, and other woodware companies can easily copy it. At that time, it will be a price war. Let other woodware companies take up the light, but leave it to powerful people to do it. It's different, other carpentry shops dare not do it lightly even if they think about it.

Naturally, the powerful person would make the most of the profits, but Boss Wang would not be at a disadvantage if he could rely on Qu Yuanli to match up with such a person.

Shen Wenxuan looked down at the young master Mu who was not very smart in front of him, resisting the urge to roll his eyes, and walked past him to leave.Boss Wang's actions not only cut off the way for other woodware shops, but also cut off his way to sell Quyuanli's blueprints.

In the face of huge benefits, no one wants to dominate the family?

The Mu family still wanted to step in to get a share of the action, and they didn't know if their brains had been kicked by the donkey.

"Stop him!" Mu Zixin said angrily.

A circle of people surrounded Shen Wenxuan immediately, and the passing people gave way one after another. They only dared to gather around in small groups and whispered to this place. Before leaving, he did not forget to take away the meal money that Shen Wenxuan put on the table.

Shen Wenxuan stood between several big men holding sticks, looking around, slowly, without any panic.

Although he will not take the initiative to fight because of his own body, but if someone does fight, he is not a person who shrinks his head. Even if he can't fight, he must be ruthless.

But... can't find him now.

Shen Wenxuan turned his head to look at the only other table of guests at the wonton stall who did not leave. There were four people on the table, one was thinner, and the other three were all muscular.

The thin and frail man looked up at his gaze and couldn't help laughing, and took off his hat without hiding it. It was the little boy from Wang's woodware shop.

"Young master Mu, business is not a matter of benevolence and righteousness. Why do you want to do something if you disagree? Mr. Wizard, we will still rely on Mr. Wang's Wooden Warehouse in the future. If you dare to offend him, our Wang's Wooden Warehouse will not agree."

The little Er'er came out and bowed deeply to Shen Wenxuan, then turned around and looked at the young master of Mu's family with a smile. One piece is worthy of the stick of Shangmu Jiading.

The two teams faced each other, and the atmosphere was tense.

As soon as Mu Zixin saw Xiaoer's smiling old fox face, he gritted his teeth: "Wang Muze, you bastard, why are you everywhere?!"

Since their Mu family came to this county, they have been suppressing Wang's woodware shop. Originally, they had a lot of money, and the magistrate of Anhe County was related to their family, so the Wang family must be in their pocket.

The result is that this inconspicuous Wang Muze beat back their tricks one by one, and it was probably his idea that Fatty Wang went to the county town immediately after getting the blueprint!

Now the annexation of the Wang family woodware shop has completely come to naught!

Muzi was very happy.

Wang Muze said with a smile: "Naturally, I will show up wherever I am needed." '

He stood up straight. Although he didn't bring many people with him, he was very comfortable and calm. He knew in his heart that there was such a big commotion here, and the guards would arrive soon. The young master knew it too, so he didn't dare to make a move.

Sure enough, there was a sound of horseshoes not far away, and Mu Zixin's face became even more ugly. Thinking that the county magistrate and the centurion were not dealing with each other, he didn't put on a face, so he gave Wang Muze and Shen Wenxuan a hard look before leaving , turned and got on the carriage.

The servants of the Mu family took a look, looked at each other uncertainly, and followed the young master's carriage one after another.

The person looking for trouble left, and the excitement ended naturally. Wang Muze left a few people behind to explain the situation to the soldiers who rushed over, and accompanied Shen Wenxuan all the way:

"Sir was shocked."

"Don't be surprised," Shen Wenxuan said, "You came so timely."

I guess I've been keeping an eye on his movements.

Shen Wenxuan glanced at him sideways: "The thief boy has a good tracking ability, much better than the young master of the Mu family."

"Isn't this discovered by Mr.?" Wang Muze smiled.

The bosses of the wonton stalls are all in hiding, so it’s no wonder that your table doesn’t move so as not to make people suspicious. Shen Wenxuan rolled his eyes and said:

"gone."

"Sir, go slowly." Wang Muze saluted and said goodbye.

The sun was slanting westward, leaving only a fiery red line on the horizon.

Wang Muze stared at Shen Wenxuan's back as he walked away. This person is not chaotic with more than one enemy, and he can still notice abnormalities around him in a dangerous situation. It is really rare to have a little courage. Although it is seriously inconsistent with what he found, it is normal. , I guess there was a stain before, so I have been keeping a low profile.

Shen Wenxuan returned to the Zhao Family Medical Center when it was getting dark.

"Doctor Zhao, stay overnight."

"What do you think of me as an inn here?" Doctor Zhao was packing up the herbs on the counter and glared at him.

It's cheaper than an inn here, he has no money, so he doesn't live in an inn, Shen Wenxuan smiled and handed Ping'er a candied haws, he bought it on the way, and it was his rent.

Ping'er happily took it and ran away.Dr. Zhao glanced at it, but said nothing.

Shen Wenxuan put his back basket in the corner, including the earthen pot in his hand. When he looked up, he saw the tray on the table. There was a bowl of porridge and a bowl of medicine on it. It was already cold, and it seemed that it had been placed for a long time.

"Whose is this?"

Dr. Zhao glanced at it: "Who else could it be, Ajiao's."

"Who?" Shen Wenxuan's mouth twitched slightly.

"Isn't that pair called Jiao Shihan? It's so nice to be called Ajiao."

Yes, it sounds good, Ah Jiao, Ah Jiao, and Shen Wenxuan laughed: "Isn't he eating?"

Dr. Zhao looked sideways at Shen Wenxuan, and said meaningfully: "Who can eat this, I'm tired of crying."

In fact, I didn't cry, I just curled up like that, my eyes were stupefied, as if this Shen boy had gone, and all his colors were taken away, and all the vitality was gone, like that, it's better to cry .

Shen Wenxuan paused, looked at the cold rice and medicine, and said nothing.

Dr. Zhao continued: "According to the storybook, isn't it just a scene where a hero saves a beauty, and then the beauty promises her body? Why is it different when it comes to you? And after spending so much money to save others, it turns out that you don't want it." No, I don't even know what you think."

"Is it hard to think? I don't like men." Shen Wenxuan said.

Dr. Zhao paused. There are quite a few people in the Daqing Kingdom who don’t like Shuang’er and only like women. This is the case today. No one in the harem is Shuang’er, and the draft every three years only includes innocent girls.

but......

"You don't like Shuang'er, why did you save him?"

"I'm happy." Shen Wenxuan frowned, feeling a little too talkative.

"Okay, you are willing," Dr. Zhao said slowly, anyway, he doesn't need to understand, "It's just that if the twins don't eat or drink all the time, I'm afraid this disease will never get better. Sigh, it's easy to leave the root of the disease, but now -"

"You don't care?" Shen Wenxuan interrupted him, "You are a doctor."

"I want to take care of it too, but have I taken care of it? It's a heart disease, and medicine is hard to cure." Dr. Zhao said with certainty, as if the pair were really dying.

"fart!"

Shen Wenxuan rolled his eyes and cursed, picked up the tray on the table and went into the kitchen, within a quarter of an hour he rushed into the ward again.

Walking to the front of the bed, she put down the tray in her hand with a bang, and her twins who curled up on the couch trembled in shock.

"Get up and eat!"
