Village Flowers and Female Scholars

After Zhuang Wan left, Xie Yan tossed and turned and didn't sleep well, and woke up in the morning with dark circles under her eyes.

Zhuang Wan had to take this step no matter what, and Xie Yan couldn't convince herself to let her take the exam alone and deal with the series of things that followed. Thinking like this, she also vaguely made a decision in her heart.

Next autumn will be Zhuang Wan's exam day, and it will take five or six days on the way to the state capital to take the exam. There are three exams and each exam needs to be entered one day in advance for three days. After that, she has to wait for the results to be released. Turnaround takes closer to a month or two.

It looks like next year, but it's not that far away.

Before that, the mother and younger brother should be settled well, so that they can live in peace during their absence.

Now that the family of three still lives in a thatched cottage, this is not a long-term solution. Now that you have money, you have to build a big house quickly. This is an indispensable guarantee for Xie Yuangu to get married in the future and for his mother to spend her old age peacefully. I have replaced Xie Jinniang's identity, and this must be taken care of no matter what.

In the future, mother and Gu'er will be able to live a good life relying on restaurants. Besides, it's not like I won't come back. The distance between the state capital and the capital is not far away from here. In this day and age, it's pretty close.

Xie Yan went straight to Cai Chu's house after washing up.

When Cai Chu heard about building a house, he was shocked. The thatched house was built in October last year, and now June is less than July, and a new house will be built in less than a year.

Cai Chu still remembered that when Xie Yan said that a large area should be reserved for a brick house when choosing a site for building a house last year, he and Lao Zhangtou secretly felt that this child was talking big things, but they did not expect it to come true up.

His daughter-in-law worked in a restaurant, and Cai Chu somehow knew that their family was making money, so he quickly calmed down after being surprised.

"Why are you in such a hurry, how long has the old house been built?"

"It's always going to be built. I have saved some money on hand, so I can build it early and live in it early and feel at ease."

She hasn't talked to Cai Chu about going to the exam with Zhuang Wan. After all, Zhuang Wan still has an uncle to deal with, but no matter how things change, the house will still be built.

Now that Xie Yan had already made a decision, Cai Chu naturally listened to her, and quickly found Lao Zhangtou, and a few of them went to her house to make a plan before finalizing it.

Xie Yan planned to build a small second house. The second house in the countryside is already considered a very good house. The area is relatively small, and the Yamen will not be held accountable for this.

The way of working is still the same as that of the old house built before. The old Zhangtou is in charge and Cai Chu is the supervisor. The manpower in the big yard built today has also increased from the previous ten to 20 people.

Ever since the old Zhangtou learned the technique of raising fish with rice flowers from Xie Yan, he worked on it himself after returning home. He wandered around the fields every day and saw that the fish in the fields were getting fatter and the rice was growing better than others. He was very happy. He pursed his lips, only regretting that he should have listened to Xie Yan's persuasion to only plant one acre, thinking that he had just bought Cao Bin's four acres of land, and he would plant all of it next year.

Seeing Xie Yan now is like seeing the God of Wealth, the old Zhangtou praises her when he meets everyone, knowing that she is going to build a house, he pats his chest and gives the job to the next without saying a word.

"Girl Jin, don't worry, the house will be handed over to Uncle, and Uncle will build it stronger and more beautiful than Uncle's own house."

Xie Yan saw that this old boy had become his fanboy, so naturally he didn't feel at ease, and discussed with Cai Chu and the three of them the planning of the building area and the room plan and budget, and planned the next start-up matters.

Now that June is not yet the autumn harvest, Lao Zhang hastened to gather people to build the house, trying to build the house before the autumn harvest without delaying work.

The new house is different from the previous thatched house, and has higher requirements. Zhangtou specially recruited his two old partners from the county to work together, plus a dozen small workers, and he started working in no time.

Naturally, Xie Yan is not a shopkeeper. She has to do everything in building a house at home. Cai Chu and Lao Zhangtou will take her to see the materials before deciding which one to buy. She personally supervises the laying of the foundation and burning the bricks. , make sure everything is under your control.

Lao Zhangtou and Cai Chu saw that she was becoming more and more mature, so they didn't dare to treat her like a little girl. What's more, they all depended on this little girl for food. Needless to say, Cai Chu, his help was not in vain. Yes, my daughter-in-law is also working in other restaurants. Some of the raw materials in the store, rice, noodles, and vegetables are bought from villagers, and it's too late for others to show their kindness to Xie Yan.

The supervisor didn't have much to do, so Cai Chu helped her watch over it, and Xie Yan was busy printing scripts at other times.

I had previously agreed with Xu Qiuyang to let him help sell the storybook directly, and I have been busy printing it since I came back. Right now, this "Feng Sanniang" is newly written, and Zhuang Wan has already copied the text onto oiled paper with an iron pen, and she Just print it out.

It is planned to print 100 volumes first, each volume is about [-] pages, which is a huge project.

During dinner at night, Xie Yan said to Xie Yuangu who was busy cooking: "Gu'er, our family is going to build a new house, and my sister has to earn more money, so I need your help to do some work."

Xie Yuangu raised his head from his rice bowl and said excitedly: "Sure, sister can do whatever you want Gu'er to do."

Cao E also stopped her chopsticks and said, "Jin'er, our current house is enough, why bother to build a bigger one? Mother is not hard, I'm afraid you will burn yourself out, watching the scholar stay up late every night to write letters Yes, it's not worth getting hurt."

"Mother, don't worry, eating well and sleeping well will not hurt your health. We earn so much money now and don't build a house. Why do we save it? This thatched cottage is prone to leaks if we live in it for a long time. It's not good to build it early and enjoy it early. "

Cao E already knew her temperament now, so she stopped persuading her and let her do whatever she wanted.

So during the day, Xie Yan was doing printing. She took a roller and dipped it in ink to print. After printing, she lifted the wooden cover. Xie Yuangu helped take out the printed paper and put it aside to dry. Xie Yan then pressed the cover down. Reprinting, in this way, the siblings cooperated tacitly, and they could print thousands of pages in a day.

Xie Yan rented an extra room next to the restaurant for grinding and mixing. Now there is no need to grind at home. At the same time, the restaurant officially hired Sun Ruo as a handyman, mainly responsible for firewood, rice milk handling and Now the women in the store don't have to work so hard to do some miscellaneous work such as grinding and mixing the pulp.

Xie Yan didn't want her mother to be busy with specific things all the time, so now she only arranges work for her in the morning, and when she comes back to the field in the afternoon, she will work if there is any work, and if there is no work, she will help Xie Yan bind the booklets by the way.

In less than three days, dozens of scripts of "Feng San Niang" were quickly printed, and Xu Qiuyang arrived as scheduled. Looking at the fifty identical scripts, he called out to God, he couldn't imagine how famous it was. After copying out such a clear and neat book without any difference at all, he said excitedly, "If I can't sell such a beautiful book, I will be a pig."

After speaking, he happily hugged ten books and left.

Unexpectedly, he appeared at the door of Xie's house when it was dark, and Zhuang Wan happened to be there.

Xu Qiuyang was so excited that he didn't care that a single man came to a widow's house at such a late hour, and Xie Yan was not a conservative person, so he invited him in openly.

As soon as Xu Qiuyang entered the door, he took out a small bundle from the phone, put it on the table and made a heavy sound.

As early as when he entered the door, Xie Yan and Zhuang Wan knew that he had made a good start. Sure enough, as soon as the bag was opened, small pieces of silver and several strings of copper coins were spread out on the table, coupled with his festive face with a smile that blinded his eyes, it was extremely festive.

Because according to the previous agreement between him and Xie Yan, he will earn one tael of silver today.

"Ten books and ten taels of silver are all here."

Since the restaurant at home has made a lot of money, Cao E and Xie Yuangu are not as surprised as before when they see the money, but they can earn ten taels of silver a day, but it takes a month for the restaurant Time to earn it.

Of course, these have not deducted other costs, but even in addition to costs, there is probably a profit of seven or eight hundred yuan per book, which is staggering.

Xie Yan didn't have any money at all, and directly took a tael of silver from it and handed it to him, saying: "Good job, you deserve it, keep up the good work."

Xu Qiuyang has already learned that the little girl in front of him who is a few years younger than himself has never studied, but now her calm and calm posture makes people want to surrender. This kind of cognition surprised him, but he is not rigid after all. The person who was impressed, took the money as good as he could and said with a smile: "Thank you, boss."

Xie Yan smiled: "Will you still take ten copies tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will take ten copies tomorrow, but it may take two or three days before I come back. Today, all the old customers who go here are the old customers, and the sales are fast. From tomorrow, I may have to sell them by myself, and it will be slower, but the boss is rest assured, wait for me. If you win new customers, new customers will become old customers, and it will be much easier to sell new scripts next time."

Xie Yan never expected that the poor scholar before was actually a sales expert. He felt that he had found a treasure, and couldn't help but cast a approving look at Zhuang Wan. If it wasn't for her, he might not have met Xu Qiuyang This is the number of people.

Xu Qiuyang happily left with the book in his arms, Xie Yan pulled Zhuang Wan into the room.

"Have you told your uncle that you will participate in next year's autumn?"

"Not yet," Zhuang Wan gently stroked her hair hanging on her chest, "No hurry, uncle and the others have a month to go, I will tell him when he is about to leave. Then go back to work, and then you won’t have so much time to scold me.”

"Let's do it, you can do it as you see." Xie Yan didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, so he just let her arrange it.

Just when she turned to get something, she was grabbed by a pair of slender palms.

Xie Yan stared at the woman in front of her with moist and round eyes, not knowing what she wanted to do.

"You... how did you come up with the forbidden love between Feng Sanniang and Fan Shiniang in the storybook of "Feng Sanniang"?"

Xie Yan looked at her shyness, couldn't help but want to tease her, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I think about it every day and dream about it at night."

"...Thinking every day? Uh...thinking about...?"

"What do you think?" Xie Yan raised the corners of her mouth.

"Cough cough."

"Since I miss you, shouldn't you react—"

"Chirp~"

Before the words finished, Xie Yan blinked her eyes and pursed her lips with a smile, then turned around and put her arms around Zhuang Wan's neck, leaning closer to her face.
