Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

It was difficult to fall asleep last night, but Chen Xiang was by my side. I was afraid of affecting his sleep, so I didn't dare to turn over. I could only close my eyes and rest, and fell asleep unconsciously. Probably because I had something on my mind, I opened my eyes suddenly in the morning Yes, looking out the window, the genius is dim.

I turned my head to look at Chen Xiang, and found that he was already awake, blinking his eyes at me, and I asked him if he slept well, only to find out that he couldn't sleep last night either, for fear of affecting my sleep, I closed my eyes and rested my mind.

haha, okay!

Chen Xiang was very nervous and excited about selling things for the first time in his life. He had a bunch of popcorn chicken that needed to be fried for the second time in the morning, and he was short on time.Speaking of which, I realized that many crispy and crunchy snacks need to be fried twice. They are delicious, but they should be eaten less.

I couldn't help him, so I ran to the workshop after washing. I'm also very busy today.

The workshop has already prepared everything. Master Hu and the others also got up early to sort the papers into categories and loaded them into the car, and then drove the car to the meeting place. Just eat it in the car.

After we arrived, Master Hu took his buddies to set up a stall, and I ran to the venue to work.

Boss Zou’s project ended yesterday afternoon, and he was busy spraying water on all the flowers this morning, so that the flowers look fresher. His booth was placed at the entrance, because he wanted to sell wristband flowers to the guests when entering the venue.

Aunt Jiuxiang was the busiest. She specially hired two assistants to help refill the wine. The wine was on the dessert table. These two assistants were responsible for refilling the wine and putting away the empty glasses after drinking.

Boss Su of the dim sum shop is also very busy. He said that he had already set up the plates last night, and he can just bring them over this morning, but the double-skin milk was steamed early today, and now the first batch has arrived for the poetry show. The second batch is to be sold outside.

The little maids from the government were the first to come, and they had to help with a lot of work, mainly making tea, honey water and the like.

The moon master and the dancer girl also arrived. They temporarily hid in the backstage and waited for the magistrate to say the opening before coming in. They still had an entry formation.

When I was busy, I saw the maids from Tian Lai Fang come in with papers and stood next to each point. They also wore uniform light yellow skirts and had uniform hairstyles, looking very formal.

Chen Xiang is also here now. He came with the second batch of paper trucks in the workshop. I greeted him and helped him put the chicken rice flower on the booth. It is a bit hot at the moment, and it should be just right when the poetry meeting starts. Served warm.I took 36 small paper tubes and put them on each spot. Once the popcorn popped out, the sweetness of the dim sum was suppressed!For a moment, I felt like I was transported back to a fried chicken restaurant in the modern world.

The host also came early today, he is so big-hearted, he actually resisted not coming to see it, and left everything to me and Cui Changyu, and now he came to have a look, and directly gave Cui Changyu two appreciative slaps .The slaps were on the back, and I felt Cui Changyu was about to vomit blood.

Cui Changrui also came, the little guy entered the venue except wow——wow——

What caught my attention even more were the two women behind Mrs. Cui, one was wearing a crimson dress with an ordinary appearance but gave off a gentle and quiet feeling, the other was wearing a light blue dress, she was beautiful and had a Share cleverness.

Cui Changyu introduced that the crimson dress was his wife Wei Yuanxia, ​​and the light blue one was his beloved concubine Qingping.

The young lady nodded to me, and Qingping saluted me. Their identities are different, so their attitudes are naturally different.

I thanked Mrs. Young for her care, and praised Qingping's painting skills. Qingping smiled and said that she was looking forward to today's performance, and that she could finally do something for the family.

She is a very lively girl, no wonder Cui Changyu likes her, I introduced Chen Xiang to them too.

Young Madam still nodded her head dignifiedly, but Qingping let out a surprise, and pulled Chen Xiang to look at it again and again, saying that the clothes Chen Xiang was wearing today were so unique.

Today our clothes are all made by Chen Xiang himself, using the fabrics sent by the young lady, which are not particularly good materials, but Chen Xiang is ingenious and made a few pleats on the sides of the clothes. I know how to wear pleated skirts, but I haven't noticed anyone like Chen Xiang who only has pleats on both sides. It's really unique.

Cui Changyu took three wristband flowers from Boss Zou, one for each lady. I noticed that the young lady smiled and said thank you husband, and Cui Changyu just nodded in response, but put the wristband flowers on Qingping's wrist with his own hands. .

Qingping happily shook her thin white wrist and asked if it looked good. Cui Changyu grabbed her wrist and said it looked good, but he was not allowed to show it to others. .

The madam only comforted her when she saw her, she would not be too restrictive about Qingping, I heard from A-Dong that Cui Changyu only stayed with Qingping every night, and the Cui family had no choice but to count on Qingping to give birth to a baby. Children carry on the family line.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, alas, the world is like this, no wonder anyone.

While we were talking, there was a commotion outside the door. It was the arrival of the guests. We had already prepared and received them in a calm manner.

Among the guests were many young talents, some old men, and some shy girls. It was the first time in their lives that they participated in such a grand event, and they still couldn't let go.Everyone was overwhelmed by the prosperity of the Poetry Club. They touched around in disbelief, and said that the air was full of flowers, and it was like a fairyland.

I saw that Boss Zou was busy. He was right. No girl can refuse wristband flowers. His first batch of flowers were sold out quickly. The wristband was given to Chen Xiang. Chen Xiang shyly stretched out his wrist and asked me to put it on in full view. Little guy, I didn’t say I would wear it for you myself. I’m getting more and more proficient, haha.

Because of the participation of the opposite sex, all the talented young people and the girls are very concerned about their own image. The young people are all straight and handsome, while the girls hold small round fans and half cover their faces shyly. Look here and there.

I suddenly felt that I might have accidentally held a blind date meeting...

Among the many talents, there is one person who stands out in particular. He is wearing a white long gown with light blue satin edges on his skirt. He is white and clean, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and has an outstanding temperament. The handsome male protagonist, surrounded by many people.

I said to Cui Changyu, "Is that Deng Shuai?"

Cui Changyu said with a smile: "Well, let me say that you can recognize him at a glance."

I am amazed, it really looks like a fairy, no wonder the lady of the prefect's family is also fascinated by him.Just as he was thinking about it, someone yelled outside that the magistrate had arrived, and everyone quickly made way to welcome the magistrate king.

Mr. Wang is still wearing casual clothes today, but he is more refined than yesterday. Looking at him this way, he is quite dignified. He has a beard that is common to middle-aged men on TV, and he is smiling. He looks friendly and dignified.

Chen Xiang quietly told me that Mr. Wang's beard is well-trimmed, and asked me to trim one too. I touched my specially shaved chin and was stunned. Is this the aesthetic gap between ancient and modern men?Cui Changyu giggled, saying that he didn't want to grow a beard either, because growing a beard is a symbol of a middle-aged mature man, let's wait until his restless and passionate heart settles down.

Behind Mr. Wang is a beautiful girl, wearing a light pink long dress and beautiful beaded flowers. She walks gracefully and gracefully. I was deceived by her appearance, that's right, she was the Miss Wang who dared to say in public that she liked Deng Shuai.

When Miss Wang saw Deng Shuai, her eyes lit up, she held up her skirt and jumped in front of Deng Shuai, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she said, "Brother Zixiu, do I look good today?"

I saw Deng Shuai's eyelids twitch twice, hahaha, it's so fun, Deng Shuai looked very embarrassed, but Miss Wang was careless, she didn't understand him at all, she stretched out her hands, showing off her new clothes show him.

"Brother Zixiu, do you think I am a lady today? Don't you just like reserved ones? How about you, can you like me today?" Miss Wang is really...a lively and lovely personality...

Chen Xiang sniggered beside him, and he also felt that the eldest lady was cheerful and bright, very cute.

Then I saw Deng Shuai covering his forehead, hahahaha, this is really...

When the magistrate saw him, he pulled his daughter over and said in a low voice, pay attention to his image. Miss Wang nodded perfunctorily while waving to Deng Shuai: "Brother Zixiu, I'll come to you later."

Deng Shuai covered his forehead again, I think his head must be very painful, haha.

The magistrate probably also had a headache, I saw him staggering, hahahaha.

But in the end it was the magistrate, who quickly stabilized the nerves that had been tormented by his daughter, stood in the gazebo at the highest point of the poetry meeting venue, said a bunch of opening remarks, and announced the official start of the poetry meeting.

I don't have time to watch the gossip, and I can't control Chen Xiang. Cui Changyu and I looked at each other and walked quietly in the field in tacit understanding.

Yes, today we are not here for romance, we are here for work.

As soon as the magistrate finished speaking, the musicians and dancers from Tian Lai Fang appeared on the stage. The musicians played cheerful music, and the dancers danced leisurely among the flowers. I saw many butterflies flying around among the flowers. The more the dancers danced, the more intoxicated they became. The more you dance, the more moving you are.

I was dumbfounded, and everyone was dumbfounded. Cui Changyu stared intently at the dress dancer in the center, and murmured: "Rongniang's dance is really more moving!"

At the end of the song, the people of Tianlaifang retreated, and the prefect announced that everyone can play as much as they want, and keep their calligraphy.

Someone asked where the pen and paper were, and the host laughed and said, "Don't worry, I, Cui Ji, will provide the pen, ink, paper and inkstone this time. Come on, get the pen and paper!"

The 36 girls bent over gracefully and put the pens and papers on the dots one by one, which made my heart ache.

I heard someone muttering, isn't it just a pen and paper?

Then, after the girls lifted the red cloth to reveal the inner pages, all the doubts disappeared, and my ears were filled with exclamations and gasps.I know, we made it.

Everyone took the paper and talked about it, saying what kind of paper it was, it was so beautiful, and they were reluctant to write on it.

The girls picked up the ink and dipped it in the clear stream water to grind the ink well in the natural "inkstone". Those who knew the goods were surprised: "It turned out to be autumn ink, that's right, only autumn ink is worthy of such paper." .”

My heart is half down.

Soon, the meeting place became lively. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful scenery, ate snacks, and recited poems. It was very pleasant and lively.

I let out a sigh of relief, today should be a success.

I went out to see Chen Xiang, but unexpectedly found that Chen Xiang was surrounded. I was startled, and I ran over quickly, only to find that Miss Wang was holding Deng Shuai to talk to Chen Xiang.

Miss Wang held a bucket of chicken popcorn and said to Chen Xiang: "What do you think, I will supply the fabric, and you have the final say on how much you want."

Chen Xiang seemed a little embarrassed, I hurried over to ask what was going on, Chen Xiang saw me as if he had seen a savior, and said, "Brother Zhang Cheng, give me an idea."

I asked what was the matter, but before Chen Xiang could speak, Miss Wang said first, "Are you his man?"

I said, "Yes, Miss, what's the matter?"

Miss Wang smiled brightly: "It's just right, he seems to be undecided, so let me tell you, I saw that his clothes are very beautiful today, so I asked him to design one for me. I want this style, but Decorate it with more patterns, I will make a bright red one, and it will be the wedding dress for my brother Zixiu and I."

I:"……"

Deng Shuai, who was about to explode from a headache: "..."

Chen Xiang, who knew nothing about it, was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's a great joy and a very important thing for you two to get married. My craftsmanship is really ordinary. I'm afraid..."

Miss Wang smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay, we can discuss it, and change it if it doesn't fit."

I:"……"

Deng Shuai was about to go crazy, and he said helplessly, "Ruyu, stop making trouble, let's go."

Miss Wang stared at me, and asked me: "You are the head of the house, do you think it's okay?"

I:"……"

Can I really say no?

I can only say to Chen Xiang: "Since the eldest lady trusts you, you can do it freely, and I will help you design, don't worry."

Seeing what I said, Chen Xiang had no choice but to agree.

Miss Wang was happy, and said to me: "I heard that this poem will be designed by you. I can rest assured of your aesthetics. I will send the fabric to you someday. Let's go first!"

After finishing speaking, he took Deng Shuai and left.

Many onlookers were laughing. Cui Changyu pulled Qingping out of nowhere and said, "Miss Wang and Deng Shuai are childhood sweethearts. They played together since they were young. Deng Shuai's temperament is cold and quiet. She looks calm in dealing with things, but she can't stand Miss Wang's pungentness and straightforwardness, Miss Wang chased him all day long to be his wife, but he didn't dare to respond, it seems that he has a headache."

I also laughed, this young man's love is also very hot, I said: "I think Miss Wang is sunny and cute, informal, Deng Shuai shouldn't miss her."

Qingping answered with a smile: "How can I miss it, don't look at the two of them now, sooner or later they will be a couple."

I said how do you know.

Qingping covered her mouth and smiled: "Who doesn't know this is full of Fengzhou City? Besides, the magistrate's favorite is chasing him all day long. Who would dare to go to his house to propose a marriage? This Deng Shuai, Deng Zixiu, is probably doomed. whee."

We all laughed as soon as this remark came out, and I asked curiously: "Deng Shuai, Zixiu, young master, what is your name?"

Cui Changyu cheered up and said, "It's only scholars who call each other names. I also have a name called Wenchang. No one calls it on weekdays. It would be awkward if someone else called me."

I touched my chin and said, "Then should I choose a word for myself?" I asked Chen Xiang: "Ah Xiang, what word do you think is suitable for me?"

Chen Xiang glanced at me, and whispered, "Rogue."

Cui Changyu and Qingping didn't hear clearly, they asked doubtfully, "What?"

Me: "..." Look at the flowers blooming like brocades today, the weather is sunny and sunny, it's a good day to teach Chen Xiang a lesson in bed, right?I think it is.

I chuckled, and said to Cui Changyu and Qingping: "Liu Guang, Ah Xiang really gave me a good name."

Cui Changyu snorted, and said in surprise: "Everything Zhang Fulang says is a good word, why don't you pick one for me too. I don't want to be called Wenchang anymore. Change it to something like light or snow, which is more poetic."

Chen Xiang: "..."

Hahahaha, it's really fun to watch Chen Xiang being speechless.

We were talking and joking here, but Master Hu eagerly yelled not far away: "Young master, don't patronize and play, the paper is sold out!"

We hurried over to take a look, and there was really not a single piece of paper left.

Master Hu said: "There are still people who find domestic servants and go directly to the shop to buy them. Fortunately, we have some left in the shop, but there is no one in the warehouse. What do you think?"

Fuck, is it selling so well?

Much better than I expected.

At this time, Boss Zou's booth next door was also yelling: "Not a single flower is gone, all the flowers in the shop are bald!"

"Where are the ones in the village?"

"The ones in the village haven't opened yet!"

"Pick up the ones with buds and sell them in whole pots!"

"okay!"

The dim sum shop is even worse, the flour is gone...

Only the grocery store is still relatively calm, their dried fruits are sold at a leisurely pace, and another batch will come again after one batch is sold out.

Aunt Jiuxiang has already started to take orders for next year. She said that her peach blossom wine and osmanthus wine can only be released in the current season, so there is only so much every year.

Everyone’s business is doing very well. Chen Xiang’s chicken popcorn has long been sold out. Chen Xiang said that the last bucket was still warm when it was sold. I just remembered to ask him how much he sells for a bucket. He said Ten Wen.

Me: "..." I almost lost my breath and held my breath.

He cautiously asked me if it was overpriced.

I was really speechless against him. I told him that Boss Zou’s flower would cost one tael. This was a banquet, and everyone’s consumption was relatively high. Even if a bucket of chicken popcorn sold for half a tael, someone would buy it.

Chen Xiang was taken aback, and said that wasn't it a scam, and ten pennies had already earned several times the capital.

i really...

It is concluded that Chen Xiang is not suitable for business.

Forget it, I've already made money anyway, as long as Chen Xiang is happy!

The owner also came over, and I, Cui Changyu, Master Hu, and the owner got together and ordered two more printing machines on the spot, and the three of us went to order together as soon as the poetry meeting was over.

The workers in the workshop will continue to work overtime for a period of time. Like Aunt Jiuxiang, we have also received many orders, and we are really soft on receiving orders.

I was soft on receiving the money, but I didn't collect the money, it was collected by the cashier in the shop. When will it be my turn to touch the money!

The popularity of the poetry fair far exceeded my expectations. In the evening, when it was time to close the booth, the prefect suddenly announced that the poetry fair would last for three days.

God!

We are all going crazy!

On the one hand, it is really profitable, on the other hand, the volume of goods cannot keep up!

Master Hu was about to lose his head. I told him that the paper should be tight to the two models of ladies first, that is, petals and lotus prints. More girls who are hesitant to wait and see today can't stand the little girlfriend Amway who came to play, Cui Changyu said it makes sense.

Master Hu continued to worry.

I didn't have time to teach Chen Xiang a lesson in the evening, so I helped in the workshop until late at night.Poetry is a pleasure for literati and girls, but it is bitter and sweet for us, what is it called, pain and happiness!
