Abduct a general to farm

The Hu people attacked fiercely. What is surprising is that they have enough food and grass without any worries. Therefore, the war with the Yuan Xia Dynasty was fierce and anxious.

Fortunately, although the Yuan Xia Dynasty was passive in the battle, they were always vigilant. In addition, Jiang Jingjiu, who was experienced in the battlefield, was not at a disadvantage in the face of the well-prepared Huren.

Mo Ran tensed his heart every day waiting for the news at home. Fortunately, Jiang Jingjiu did not have any accidents. After all, he was a brave general on the battlefield.

On January 37th, Xuanhe 24, the Yuanxia Dynasty held a ceremony for the enthronement of the new emperor Zhao Xuan. The former emperor Zhao Wei officially abdicated. Buy food to supply fighters.

The reign name of the Yuanxia Dynasty was changed to Pingzhaonian, so the first day of Pingzhaonian was also the beginning of the new year, which coincided with the new year of Xuanhe year.

It is common for the capital to snow. It seems to welcome the New Year. Today’s snow is so heavy that it almost obscures the sight of pedestrians. People who don’t hold umbrellas outdoors will soon be covered by the snow and become a snowman.

It is best to stay at home in such a climate, but the first day of the new year is also the first day of the new emperor's accession to the throne. Everyone wants to go out to celebrate lively. This wanton snow did not stop the common people from going out. footsteps.

The New Year is also a time for making friends. The general's mansion is almost broken by the people who come to visit. There are many servants around, and the gifts brought over can fill a wing room dedicated to storing sundries.

It's just that Xue Rouzhi dealt with these people. She probably saw that Mo Ran was in a bad mood and knew the reason, so she didn't force him to stay in the lobby when the guests came, but asked him to go back to the room to rest.

Without Ajiu, the other party was still bathing in blood and killing the enemy without knowing the situation. Naturally, Mo Ran was not interested in anything, so he went back to his yard, sat in the pavilion and looked at Xue in a daze, without thinking about anything in his mind .

Although Zhang Guo is a secret guard, his master ordered him to come out to chat with his wife when necessary. Seeing that his wife was in a bad mood, he thought about it and ran out.

"Ma'am, why don't I go out with you for a stroll, the new emperor is enthroned today, and it's busy outside." Zhang Guo asked him with a smile, Mo Ran came back to his senses, and saw through his mind at a glance: "You want to go out and see too?"

Zhang Guo scratched his head in embarrassment. Although he was powerful, he was not too old, so he was naturally cuter and more playful than Zhang Fuzhang, but he didn't expect Mo Ran to be so keen, and he could tell at a glance that he wanted to play too.

"If Madam is willing to go, I will go, and I will protect Madam." Zhang Guo said, but Mo Ran looked outside the pavilion with a distressed expression: "Now the snow is too heavy."

He still looks like he doesn't want to go out.

Zhang Guo's original intention was to make Mo Ran less unhappy, so he ignored Xue for a while, but he couldn't think of anything else, so he could only say, "Okay, ma'am."

The snow was light in the afternoon, so Mo Ran still took Zhang Guo out of the house after all. The carriage rumbled away from the General's Mansion, heading towards the palace where the most lively place is.

After the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor also opened a stall in several places in the capital to give porridge. There will still be beggars and the like in the huge capital. It is impossible to arrange them all. The new emperor can only do this, at least It can make beggars not have to worry about being hungry for a few days.

Mo Ran's carriage happened to pass by a porridge stand, and he saw a long queue in front of the porridge stand, many ragged, yellow and thin men, women and children waiting anxiously with bowls in their hands.

He saw what it was doing at a glance, so he asked the driver to stop the carriage and watched from a distance. Zhang Guo, who was lucky enough to be in the same carriage as Mo Ran, thought he didn't know what it was doing, and explained: "They are Shi Shan, those people are all beggars."

Here Zhang Guo was talking, but Mo Ran inexplicably remembered that when he rescued Ajiu, Ajiu left him in the same ragged clothes, unkempt like a little beggar, and then he picked him up and brought him home.

Thinking of the scene at that time, he couldn't help laughing. Zhang Guo didn't get a response, so he asked strangely: "Ma'am? What are you thinking?"

I don't know what Madam thought, she smiled so happily, but it's good that she doesn't get depressed because of worrying about her master.

"It's nothing." Mo Ran regained his senses, suppressed his smile, finally glanced at those people, and put down the car curtain: "Go on."

The wheels rolled over the remaining fine snow on the road, making a slight creaking sound, but it was quickly overshadowed by the sound of beating gongs and drums. As Zhang Guo said, it was indeed very lively outside.

They said they were going out to play, but they didn't stop in the carriage along the way. They just went out for a stroll to feel the atmosphere outside and then went back. Fortunately, under the influence of outsiders, Mo Ran was in a much better mood.

Two days later, Shu Jiutian also came to the General's Mansion, unexpectedly bringing someone with him.

"Mo Ran, Happy New Year." Shu Jiutian happily put the gift on the table, stomped his feet and exhaled: "It's warm inside the house, but I'm about to freeze to death outside."

"For the past two days, my old man has been holding guests at home, saying that he wants me to socialize. I am so busy that I have time to come to your house today."

With a slight smile on Mo Ran's face, his eyes fell on the person behind Shu Jiutian, hesitantly asked: "This is... Miss Tang?"

No wonder he was hesitant, although the person looked similar to Miss Tang, he was wearing men's clothes at this time, dressed like a man, and looked full of heroism, he couldn't tell whether the other party was a man or a woman.

Shu Jiutian's expression was unnatural for a moment, and he nodded vaguely: "He is Tang Xun."

Tang Xun, who was behind him, said with a smile, "Hi, Madam General."

The voice can also be heard to be male, Mo Ran thought to himself that this so-called Miss Tang is really a male, Shu Jiutian Fengping will be killed.

Shu Jiutian pulled Mo Ran aside, turned his back to Tang Xun and asked sadly: "Mo Ran, you also saw that he is actually a man... I didn't expect that I would miss it, is there anything you can do to make him look like this?" leave."

Mo Ran: "... let him leave you?"

Shu Jiutian blushed, stumbled and said, "Well, it's because he has been pestering me since he regained his identity, saying, saying that he wants to repay me."

He didn't say what kind of repayment it was, and said, "I don't want any repayment from him, but he doesn't want to leave, so I want to ask you..."

Mo Ran glanced at Tang Xun's direction, and the other party stared at this side intently, and smiled when he saw him looking over, he retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you like him as a beauty? Isn't it just right now?"

Shu Jiutian retorted: "Who said I like him? I like Miss Tang, but he's not a girl..."

"Although he is a man, he is still good-looking."

"That's different." Shu Jiutian said, getting closer to Mo Ran, and Tang Xun who was behind him narrowed his eyes: "I'm different from you and the general, my father will kill me .”

And he thinks that he likes girls, but it's okay to be like Guo Zitong. Thinking of how entangled and talkative Guo Zitong has been to him during this period, Shu Jiutian couldn't help shaking with fear.

"But you bought him yourself..."

"I didn't buy him, I just helped him." Shu Jiutian helplessly corrected, Mo Ran nodded: "Then do you still want the money back?"

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't pay back the money, but he can't do that to me." Shu Jiutian has a lot of money himself, so naturally he doesn't care about such a small amount.

"That means you don't like him anymore?" Mo Ran asked.

Shu Jiutian became coy again: "Yeah, it's not that I don't like him, I actually like his former appearance, he looks good."

But it was limited to the appearance of a woman in the past.

Seeing that their cheeks were about to touch each other, Tang Xun's eyes sank slightly, and he walked over to separate the two of them, and said to Shu Jiutian with a smile: "Although General Jiang is not at the residence to fight on the battlefield, Jiutian should stay away from his wife." It’s better to avoid suspicion.”

Although he was smiling, it made Shu Jiutian inexplicably panicked and shut up.Shu Jiutian's lips trembled when he heard that nickname, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back.

Tang Xun's intervention made their conversation come to an end. Mo Ran could only helplessly give Shu Jiutian a look, and then the three of them chatted in a proper manner.

Tang Xun actually rarely joined their conversation afterwards, and most of the time he just sat quietly and listened to Shu Jiutian's speech.

They talked and talked about the business of the restaurant, and Shu Jiutian started dancing when they mentioned this, and it was obvious that he was very happy.

"Mo Ran, do you know that your new sugar cakes and soft candies are very popular recently? The day before yesterday was not the New Year, and all the soft candies in my restaurant were sold out on that day! There is really no stock at all, and there are still two days. Many people ask Xiao Er when the stock will be available, as soon as there is a new fudge, it will be sold out immediately."

Shu Jiutian said with flying eyebrows, took a deep breath to calm his heart, and smiled happily.

"You are indeed my God of Wealth. If the business of my restaurant continues to be like this in the future, my father will not dare to yell at me. After all, I have a lot of money in my hand."

Shu Jiutian smirked.

Before the new year, Mo Ran released two new snacks, namely sugar cake and soft candy. These two things happened to be unavailable in the Yuan Xia Dynasty. The sugar cake is made of brown sugar, and it is relatively fluffy. It is even chewy when you bite it down. The feeling of strength is very different from other pastries.

In addition, the Yuan Xia Dynasty only had hard candy, which is the kind of candy that takes a long time to melt in the mouth, like eating scum, and it takes a lot of effort to eat. The soft candy Q bomb made by Mo Ranjiao There are also a variety of flavors to choose from for Q bombs, which are much better than hard candy.

Many people who are addicted to sweets but are tired of eating hard candy, when they hear about this novel candy, they want to buy it because of the word soft.

As a result, there are a lot of repeat customers who are conquered by the fudge after tasting it. Each person buys more than ten catties. Therefore, the supply of fudge is not enough before the New Year. It is Shu Jiutian who makes the fudge every day. Only a part of the sugar can be saved to sell on New Year's Day, which is slightly enough for those people to snap up, but it was also sold out in the end.

Mo Ran is also very happy that sugar cakes and fudge can be liked: "The fudge can be added with more flavors in the future to give people more choices. Since so many people like to eat it, it can be mass-produced in the future and set up a factory chant."

Shu Jiutian nodded: "When I went to the restaurant in the morning, I found that although the maids and servants of some wealthy families had snatched the fudge, they were complaining that the packaging of the fudge was very crude and did not conform to their status as a big family.

So I thought, maybe the fudge we make in the future can be divided into two types, one is sold to the children of nobles, the packaging should be exquisite, the materials used should be better, and the taste and appearance of the fudge should be better.The other is ordinary soft candy, which doesn't need to worry about packaging, and the price is relatively low, which can be afforded by ordinary people. "

Shu Jiutian is very economical, but after hearing some servants' complaints, he proposed several management methods in succession, it seems that he is ready to harvest money from the noble children.

This is indeed the best way. Separate the expensive ones from the cheap ones. Buy the expensive ones if the conditions are good, and buy the cheap ones if the conditions are not good. It is very convenient.

"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, so just do as you say, and come to me when you need me." Mo Ran said.

Shu Jiutian responded immediately, and then started talking about the Chishi shop.

"I didn't think of this before. Recently, the people in the restaurant discovered that other restaurants and some small vendors copied the food sold in our restaurant. The taste was completely different, but they pretended to be our name to make money and seize our food. Business, I just thought that we should put our own business name on all the new foods, so that others will not dare to imitate.

The things are mainly researched by Mo Ran through recipes, so I think it would be better for you to come up with a business name. What do you want to call it?After it's settled, I'll ask someone to go to the yamen and tell me to get the paperwork done as soon as possible. "

Anyway, with his status, no one would really dare to set up some kind of food business before him.

Mo Ran understood that this should be equivalent to a modern patent application, but he pondered for a while, but couldn't think of a good name, so he said, "Why don't you use your name, I can't think of any other .”

Shu Jiutian disagreed: "This way it becomes completely mine. If you can't think of it, I think it's better to call it Mojia Snacks. Use your last name, which is catchy and easy for people to remember. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately made a decision: "I think it's very good, so let's do this."

Mo Ranbo was dumbfounded: "This is too sloppy, and using my surname... I just teach you how to do it, and you arrange other things. This is not suitable, let's change it. "

"But if you don't teach us how to do it, you won't have the latter ones. I think it's very good. When you become more famous in the future, everyone will know that you researched it through this company, or do you want the 'company' more?" surname?"

Shu Jiutian wondered, Mo Ran shook his head, he liked Mo more than Si Ta, and the surname Mo gave him a sense of belonging.

In the end, the two decided to use "Mojia Snacks" as their business name, and the business name can be written on the food packaging they make in the future.

No one dared to misuse the business name recorded in the yamen file, so others would know who it belonged to at a glance.
