After crossing, I spoil my husband

Fu Mingyou and Xia Yanxi had lunch at Xu's house. Although there were only a few common dishes and only one piece of meat, they were very satisfied with what they ate.

The cooperation this time has already been agreed upon. Fu Mingyou borrowed 100 taels of silver from Xu Youan, and he paid another 100 taels himself, and then asked Xia Liren and the others to pay 100 taels, so that there would be 300 taels, which was enough for the principal.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the 300 yuan will be used up all at once, and Xu Youan and Xia Liren will need to discuss the specific matters in the future.

Now that they have made up their minds to start a business, Fu Mingyou and others certainly won't just give up.

There is no need to worry about the shop. Mu Xingzhou gave Fu Mingyou a shop before. It can be said that the contract is also in Fu Mingyou's hand.

Xia Liren is careful, and Xu You'an is smart. After the two meet, they have a charter in their hearts.

Fu Mingyou also let the two of them do things freely. Of course, if necessary, he would lend them Zhuzi and Heizi for their use. After all, if it is booming, the business will be too busy.

In a blink of an eye, Master Lin's birthday came.

Mrs. Lin invited Fu Mingyou and his family to have dinner at home. Fu Mingyou went directly to the town early in the morning, waited for a quarter of an hour in Suxintang, and then sat in a carriage to bring out the freshly baked birthday cake .

"Sir, I wish you blessings like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."

Fu Mingyou took Xia Yanxi to Lin's house, put the gift and birthday cake aside, and said to Master Lin.

Master Lin stroked his beard and smiled, "Get up, you're welcome."

Today is his [-]th birthday, which is the whole birthday, so the family wanted to tell him a birthday.

In ancient times when medical conditions were extremely poor, it was already very good to live to the age of 60.

Mrs. Lin and her two daughters-in-law were busy cooking in the kitchen, while the guests sat in the living room and chatted.

"Brother Fu, what is this you brought?"

Lin Fuzi's little grandson, Dazai, was curiously waiting for the small box on the side, and he seemed to be able to smell the fragrance and asked.

Fu Mingyou smiled, and reached out to touch the other person's hair: "That's Suxintang's birthday cake, you can eat it when it's time to eat."

It's not time for dinner yet, and there must be something to cut this thing, so there is no way to give it to the other party for the time being.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the living room was stunned, looked at each other, and started discussing in a low voice.

"I've heard of this birthday cake from Suxintang, it's so precious."

"There is still a birthday cake in Crispy Heart Hall?"

"Birthday cake, what is that?"

Everyone chattered, Master Lin obviously knew it, looked at Fu Mingyou, and smiled: "Little Fu spent a lot of money."

This birthday cake from Suxintang tastes very good. He also ate it once at a friend's birthday party. He heard that one would cost five taels of silver.

Today is Mr. Lin's birthday, and Fu Mingyou bought him a birthday cake, which is very kind.

However, in private, Mr. Lin is still planning to talk to the other party, don't waste money on such things.

Although he was very happy with Fu Mingyou's actions, when he thought about five taels of silver for a pastry, he felt distressed and flustered.

"Teacher, you are too polite, it's just a birthday cake." Fu Mingyou shook his head with a smile, and poured a glass of water for the other person himself: "I will be a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of my life. Can a small birthday cake be compared?"

Fu Mingyou is really grateful to Master Lin. When he came to study with his teacher, although the other party was very surprised, he did not give up on him. After knowing that he was going to take a scientific examination, he tried his best to teach him.

After hearing the other party's words, Mr. Lin was of course very happy, and the rest of the people also continued to respond.

When it was lunch time, everyone watched with anticipation that Fu Mingyou brought the birthday cake.

The birthday cake was about twelve inches long, and Fu Mingyou knew that there were a lot of people, so he made a special trip to choose a bigger one.

When Fu Mingyou took the box away, he revealed the boxy birthday cake inside, with white things around it, some sugar spread on it, and some fruits.

This kind of pastry is actually more like a cake. The cream was proposed by Suxintang.

Because of the other party's attention, the shopkeeper Zhang, the owner of Suxintang, immediately signed a contract with Fu Mingyou, stating that as long as someone buys this birthday cake in the future, he will give the other party a [-]% share.

And this birthday cake doesn't need Fu Mingyou's money.

Fu Mingyou didn't refuse either, but just reduced the other party's [-]% share to [-]%.

"Teacher, please try this birthday cake."

Fu Mingyou cut a large piece and placed it in front of Master Lin. Since there were no disposable plates, everyone held bowls.

Master Lin smiled and said, "This birthday cake seems a little different from the ones I've seen before. I'll try it."

When Mr. Lin tasted the butter and the bread below, his eyes lit up: "It tastes delicious and soft, and the white thing on top melts in your mouth. It's really delicious."

And this kind of thing is very suitable for young and older people like them to eat without effort.

Fu Mingyou smiled, and then distributed one to each of them from childhood to adult. After everyone tasted it, they were all overwhelmed by the birthday cake.

"Sir, this tastes really good."

Xia Yanxi only needs a little bit. He doesn't like sweets very much now, but this one is okay.

Fu Mingyou smiled, and said: "I watched the chefs in Suxintang make all the seasonings, so I hope you can eat more."

Xia Yanxi smiled, even if he ate more, he couldn't eat much.

This birthday cake is not only liked by Mrs. Lin, but also by the children.

Farmers and peasant households rarely buy snacks, even people like Lin Fuzi can't have snacks at home every day, so the pastries brought by Fu Mingyou really won the hearts of a few little guys.

Everyone enjoyed this meal, and because Xia Yanxi was pregnant, she felt a little sleepy after the meal.

"Master, Xixi is pregnant, so the student won't stay any longer."

Fu Mingyou cupped his hands at Master Lin and said softly.

Master Lin looked at Xia Yanxi, who was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand with a smile: "You're welcome, go back, pregnant people should have a good rest."

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile, then helped Xia Yanxi leave, and walked directly towards the house.

Except for the two of them, the rest belong to Mr. Lin's own family.

Because Mrs. Lin had no brothers or sisters, everyone present was from her own family. After the two left, Mrs. Lin directly took the congratulatory gifts from Fu Mingyou and his wife.

"Oh, old man, this little Fu has sent a lot of things."

Mrs. Lin opened the package and took a look, she couldn't help being startled.

Master Lin looked at the other party as if he was frightened, so he also leaned over to have a look.

I saw that there were some pastries in the package. Besides that, there was also a box of tea, high-quality brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, and a bottle of ginseng and deer antler pills that Fu Mingyou asked others to make for health.

"It's a good thing." After reading it, Master Lin was silent for a while, and said, "Take out the pastry, and put the rest in our room."

No one in the house drinks tea except him, and the most important thing is the bottle of health pills, which is quite expensive.

When Fu Mingyou cut the cakes, he was measured. There was almost a third of the birthday cake left, so Mrs. Lin put it away.

The children have eaten it today, and they can save it for tomorrow. Now that the weather is cold, it will not spoil.

Fu Mingyou took Xia Yanxi back, and seeing the other party let out a sigh, he couldn't help but smile: "Take a nap, and I'll pick oranges and pomegranates for you in the afternoon."

Xia Yanxi nodded softly, then leaned on the soft pillow and fell asleep under the quilt.

Seeing that the other party was sleeping, Fu Mingyou called Hei Zi directly, and asked the other party to go with him to pick fruit in the yard.

Now that Zhuzi has been borrowed by Xia Liren to do something, only Heizi and Wuniang in the family can climb the tree.

"Master, how much do you pick?"

The yard is still some distance away from the bedroom, so Fu Mingyou specially chose a place farther away, so that he wouldn't disturb Xia Yanxi's sleep.

"Pick a basket and taste everything first."

Fu Mingyou looked at the fruit trees in the yard, "Remember to move gently."

Previously, these fruit trees were bought from other people's homes, and they were ready to bear fruit when they were bought. Fu Mingyou has found a good one this year, and this year's harvest is not bad.

Heizi nodded in response, and then climbed the ladder to pick the fruit from the tree.

There are many fruits in the yard, pomegranates, oranges, grapes and pears.

Fu Mingyou pinched a grape, wiped it and took a bite, it was not bad, quite sweet.

"Heizi, pick two more baskets of grapes." "Wu Niang, you cut out the grapes one by one with scissors and wash them, as long as they are intact, then put them on the oilcloth to dry."

Fu Mingyou quickly ordered the two people, he thought they could make wine.

"Good young master."

Wu Niang responded immediately, and went straight to the kitchen with the basket.

After Heizi picked the fruit, he ordered the other party to send some to Xia Liren's family, Xia Dagen's family, Master Lin's family, Murray's family, and the village head's family.

Give some of each kind, almost no family has a basket.

Fu Mingyou saw that each family's basket was not enough, so he asked Heizi to pick some more.Especially grapes, not enough at all.

Wu Niang and Aunt Li washed the grapes one by one and put them on the oilcloth, and when Xia Yanxi got up, she saw the purple ones on the oilcloth.

"Sir, these grapes are delicious."

Xia Yanxi just woke up and was thirsty.

Hearing his voice, Fu Mingyou put down his work immediately: "It tastes good, there are some washed fruits and pomegranates in the kitchen."

Xia Yanxi nodded, walked directly towards the kitchen, and brought out some fruits.

"Sir, what is this for?"

Putting them here one by one is obviously not for food.

Fu Mingyou smiled and said, "I want to try to see if I can make wine. Drinking wine is good for people's health."

If possible, it would be nice to have a drink every night.

Xia Yanxi's eyes widened, and she sighed for a long time: "Sir, you are really amazing."

I can make it, I'm good at reading, I'm good-looking, and now I can make wine.

Fu Mingyou rubbed his hair, and said, "If you're bored, let Xiaobao play with you."

He will have to do things in a while, and he will definitely not be able to stay with Xia Yanxi all the time.

Xia Yanxi shook her head with a smile, and said: "It's okay, Mr. Xiang, you are busy with your work, I just sit here and eat fruit."

The sun is not shining very much now, Xia Yanxi sits directly on the soft couch in the yard, with a mattress covering her stomach, eating fruit leisurely.

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile, now Heizi has come to wash the fruit too.

Fu Mingyou put the dried fruit in a sealed jar. This one was bought before and was useless, and it happened to be clean.

Putting the fruit in the jar away, Fu Mingyou went to wash his hands.

If you want to make wine, you need to crush these grapes. Wearing clean gloves, Fu Mingyou directly squeezed the grapes.

After finishing it, Fu Mingyou put sugar in it at a ratio of five to one, then sealed the jar to ensure that it would never be ventilated, and then put the jar in the basement.

After making three jars of wine, Fu Mingyou didn't make too much. He didn't know if he would succeed, so he only made some for the time being.

Xia Yanxi knows that the wine will be fermented, so she must not drink it now.

After cleaning up, Fu Mingyou went out for a stroll with Xia Yanxi.

"Brother Mu."

On the way, the two saw Murray.

Murray was still following Xiaobao, Fu Mingyou looked at the rare embarrassment on the other party's body, and couldn't help smiling: "Xiaobao, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Xiaobao glanced at Murray, and said seriously: "Brother, I'm learning martial arts from my master."

"Come on." Fu Mingyou smiled, he knew that martial arts cannot be practiced overnight.

After sending Xia Xiaobao back, Murray looked at Fu Mingyou and said, "I've been busy before, so I didn't have time to ask about your scientific research. How do you feel?"

Xia Yanxi followed Xiaobao back, and the two walked slowly on the road. Fu Mingyou smiled and said, "It feels pretty good, I should be able to enter."

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Murray nodded, "If you are admitted as a scholar, do you plan to go to the capital?"

Now Fu Mingyou has already registered there, fortunately not many people know about him, otherwise, someone will be bothered by him.

"I haven't thought of it yet, let's see when the time comes."

Fu Mingyou thought for a while, then shook his head.

After being admitted as a scholar, it took three years before he could be admitted to Juren.

Xiajia Village is pretty good, but he doesn't want to move yet. If he has a chance in the future, he can go to the capital to take a look.

Murray nodded and understood in his heart.

Xia Liren was very busy these days, and so was Xu Youan.

The two were able to move very quickly, and a week later, a snack bar opened in the small town.

"Crackling..."

"Wow..."

On the opening day, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums sounded instantly.

Because of the opening of the new store, Fu Mingyou specially invited a lion dance, which will make the store more lively, and after the people in the town know that there is a lion dance performance, they naturally know that there is a new snack shop here. .

The snack shop is fully prepared in advance, and the ingredients and prices are determined one by one.
