44. Take it easy!

He Zijin felt that the experience of time travel is not very accurate.

Really, at least in her opinion, in this era, the status of a wife is at least not as low as she imagined. Moreover, in ordinary people, there are really few people taking concubines.

As for Miss Cousin White Lotus, it is even less than the third girl.

This girl was as strong as a stone. She was neat and did her needlework quickly and well. When she ate dates with He Zijin, she asked if there was a place to collect needlework in Bishui County. According to the third girl, she wanted to take some needlework to make money. He Zijin said, "It's because there are embroidery and spinning, and most people want to embroider pieces."

The third girl was a little disappointed, "I can only make simple things, but I can't embroider things."

"What's the point of being anxious? You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to do things bite at a time. Where can you eat it in one bite to become a fat man." He Zijin said, biting the dates.

The third girl laughed, "Why do you always speak like a little adult?"

He Zijin said, "I'm older."

The third girl smiled again, picked up the dates and ate them slowly, and it turned out to be crisp and sweet.

On the second day, Shen went over to Li's appointment. Because Li said he had something to discuss, he did not take He Zijin with him. Yesterday, he arrested Zhou Li for a whole day, and Li looked a little tired. Shen advised her, "Now he has to take care of Sister Kang, and he has to do some social engagements, and his sister-in-law has also taken a break."

Li laughed, "It's okay, autumn is prone to fatigue and sleepiness."

Shen laughed, "Sister-in-law said something happened yesterday, what's the matter?"

The maid served the tea, and Li was not in a hurry. She invited Shen to taste the tea first and said, "Take it, the best Tieguanyin, this is the new tea from Fumin."

Shen took a sip and smiled, "I have drunk Tieguanyin once before, and I think the taste is quite strange, it is not as good as the wild tea I drink at home. But why does my sister-in-law still have a faint fragrance of flowers?"

Li smiled, "This is different from what is sold outside. It was made by our master to use it for some use. I left two kilograms here to drink at home. I left half a kilogram for you."

"I'm disrespectful." Yesterday I gave the third girl such a precious meeting gift, and today I gave her good tea. Shen knew that Li must have something to do, so he was not polite.

"That's right. In the past two years, our master often gives gifts to my sister's shop as earth. I'm sure I have an official, and I'm used to your skills. Even our master also thinks that my sister's pickles are good." Li asked with a smile, "I want me to ask if my sister wants to open a shop in the state capital?"

This was beyond Shen's expectations. Shen thought about it and said, "Sister-in-law knows me, the woman doesn't know much about this. Even if you build such a small shop in our county, you can manage the county government. It's a small business in the county, but it's different to open a shop in the state government. If the management is not good, how can you go to the state government to do business?" After the Jiang Shop opened for two years, Shen also understood some of the tricks inside. The first thing is to do is to manage the yamen well, otherwise they will come to the door at any time, so you won't be able to do business with you.

Bishui County is the ancestral home of the He family. It is natural for Shen’s family to build a pickle shop here. How about the state prefecture?

Li told the truth, "What our master means is that since my sister has such skills, it would be a pity if she only works in our county. The master said that if my sister is willing, my sister will be responsible for other shops and other things. My sister doesn't have to worry, just wait for the dividends. If my sister has no intention of building a shop in the prefecture, the master asks if she can buy her sister's secret recipe. Don't worry, my sister, my father and Brother Gong are also excellent. Even if I buy this recipe, one will never leak it, and the other will I not open a pickle shop in Bishui County."

This is not a trivial matter, Shen laughed, "I can't make the decision. I always have to go back and discuss with my husband. I think Brother Xin is not in a hurry."

Li Shiyuan didn't expect Shen to respond in one go, and laughed, "I just want to pass on a message, my sister has a sure letter to me." No matter which one, it will be harmless to Shen.

Mrs. Shen responded and said, "Okay."

The two of them talked about trivial matters. As the afternoon approached, Shen took half a pound of tea from Li to home. The tea was precious and was filled with tin cans. Half a pound was divided into four small cans and took them home for Old Madam He to see. Shen meant to leave half of the one for Old Madam He and the rest were given to He Gong. Unexpectedly, He Meng had not left a can of tea and said, "What are the good things about these leaves? Let Gong'er drink it. The scholars who studied should pay attention to this."

Shen said, "Mother tasted it, and it tasted very good."

"What do I do?" Mrs. He was indifferent to his interest. "If it was really a good thing, please let Gong'er give Mr. Xu two cans. The next year is the year of autumn. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gong'er will start to study hard." It's okay to prepare the Master now.

Shen replied with a smile.

He Zijin wanted to taste good tea. When she heard that Mrs. He brought tea to her father's autumn examination, she didn't speak. Because whenever her father was involved in the examination of her father's fame, Mrs. He has always been selfless and inhumane. She didn't have to speak at all, as it would be a tough question to open her mouth.

In the evening, He Gong went home and tasted the tea fragrance, which was praised as good tea. Just as He Zijin was there, he looked at her father with a gaze and said, "Dad, try it for me, can you please?"

He Gong was not reluctant to give her daughter a drink, but he still said, "No, the tea is refreshing. It's dark, and it's easy for you to drink it. I want to taste it for you tomorrow."

So, on the second day, He Zijin tasted this top-quality Tieguanyin. It is a good tea itself, and in this era, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the tea grown under the blue sky and white clouds is unimaginable. He Zijin drank it again and again, and three cups were drunk in one breath, but he was still not satisfied. He Gong was only allowed to drink three cups because she was young, so He Zijin had to give up.

However, Shen and her husband discussed the matter of the sauce shop. He Gong said, "Each one has its own advantages. If you open a sauce shop with your brother Xin, it will be just to pay the money slowly, but it will be a long-term investment. If you sell the shop, you will have a sum of money."

He said it the same as not saying it, Shen asked, "Which one do you mean?"

He Gong said, "Everything is done. Our family is still alive, and now we don't lack money. You can do whatever you want."

Shen nodded. She wanted to start a shop with He Xin, but she couldn't get anything except pickled pickles. If the shop in the Zhoufu shop, He Xin would definitely have to take care of it. Shen didn't doubt anything, but felt that if he did this, He Xin seemed to be willing to give her benefits.

Mrs. Shen put the matter in his heart for the time being, thinking about going to discuss with Mrs. Li after Mid-Autumn Festival.

Shen was not sure about it. On the fifteenth day of the first August, Shen Su came to the county and sent some fruits and vegetables. He also brought two trucks of vegetables and vegetables that Shen wanted to make pickles, four pheasants with gorgeous feathers, two hares, and several mountain goods.

Shen Su smiled, "Last year, I went to hunt in the mountains and found a few pheasant eggs. As soon as the hens at home hatched eggs, they hatched them together. The chickens were made of eggs and chickens. Now there are more pheasants at home. I sent some to the county restaurants, which were more expensive than the ordinary chickens at home. These were for Aunt Day."

Mrs. He is kind, "You can sell it first, you can sell it at home."

Chen Su smiled, "My aunt raises chickens at home like my mother. She doesn't want to eat them, so she always wants to sell them to supplement the household income. I told my mother that life is not on one or two chickens. When you are old, you will be more careful in eating and using them. It is not only good for your body, but also the filial piety of us as younger generations."

Mrs. He smiled, "What's the point of us? You'll be smooth and you'll be smooth." After becoming a scholar, Mrs. He saw Chen Su very happy and said, "I heard that there are many wild animals on the mountain. You are young and like to go to the mountain. You have to pay attention to safety. Don't go alone, as the elderly at home are worried."

Chen Su smiled, "Don't worry, aunt, I have a companion."

"That's good." said Mrs. He, "I know you are busy during the holidays, but since you are here, you have to stay for two days. Your sister is also thinking about you, and A Lie has grown up a lot."

Chen Su smiled, "A Lie's eyebrows and eyes are really similar to Zi Jin."

Mrs. He has never had any position. She smiled, "My nephew doesn't leave her grandma's house, and their siblings look a bit like you."

He Zijin:... Her brother doesn't look like her grandfather now...

After talking for a while, he greeted Chen's father and mother again. He said, "Go and talk to your brother-in-law for a while. You can have a drink together at noon and have a lot of fun."

Smiling and smiling.

Although the Shen family is in the countryside, even if there are no special festive gifts, they are all very affordable. Needless to say, melons and vegetables are all picked and delivered. The rest also have dried mushrooms, dried fungus, dried fruits and the like on the mountain. These things are naturally very common in He Zijin's previous life. But in this era, they are all rare things.

On that day, Shen ordered the kitchen to kill a pheasant, put mushrooms in and stew the soup, which was extremely fresh. He Zijin didn't even eat much rice when she drank three bowls of pheasant soup. Her appearance was very despised by Mrs. He said, "It's like she hasn't eaten anything on weekdays."

"It's very delicious." He Zijin said, "The soup is fresh and the mushrooms are delicious, but the pheasant meat is not as fragrant as the chicken." It can be seen that He Zijin has the qualities of a foodie at a young age. If her behavior is always criticized by He's mother, she is still there. The pheasant is very common with her niece. "The pheasant meat is already full of fire, and it's best to stew the soup, which is even more delicious. The mushrooms are dried and roasted. If the soup is fresh, the umami tastes stronger."

He Zijin said, "This is delicious, it tastes better than the dried mushrooms sold at the market."

"The mushrooms sold in the market also depend on where they are picked. These mushrooms are mushrooms that grow in the pine forest. If you eat them carefully, you will have a pine fragrance."

He Zijin touched his belly, feeling extremely regretful, "I am full and can't eat it anymore."

Chen Su laughed, "It's okay, there's still something tomorrow."

Mrs. He felt embarrassed.

After lunch, He Zijin went to the kitchen to work. After drinking the pheasant soup, she asked Zhou Pozi to keep the feathers that had faded. He Zijin asked Zhou Pozi to help her wash it, take it back to the house and dry it in the sun, insert the tail feathers into a bottle, and put it in the room for his uncle to use as a decoration. She also asked Cui'er to move two pots of flowers to smoke the house for her uncle, and open the window for ventilation.

He Zijin was busy with work, Chen Su stood in her sister's room, looked through the window, and said, "There is no more painful child in this world than Zijin."

Shen smiled, "It's natural for me to look at my own children."

Chen Su smiled, turned around and sat down, and told her sister about the family. Knowing that the family was all good, Shen was relieved and smiled, "I think you should come too."

Chen Su flattered her sister, "Sister, you are accustomed to being able to calculate."

"I have prepared some things for my parents, and you will take them when you leave." Then Shen talked about what Li and her told her, "I haven't figured it out yet. Your brother-in-law is a pity. You often walk outside and tell me what to do, what should I do?"

Chen Su said directly, "Brother Xin is a businessman. You may be so guessing with his sister. I will go to Brother Xin tomorrow to ask me what happened."

Shen said, "Okay, your brother-in-law doesn't understand these business matters. You men are much more convenient than us women. I am not a person who likes to take advantage of others, but at least we understand it, even if we make less money, we will feel at ease."

"Don't worry, sister, I'm there." Chen Su then asked, "What kind of relative is that cousin?" He met at lunch and was not easy to ask in front of Mrs. Yu Shen, but he had no such concerns. He heard that he was the niece of Mrs. He's family. Chen Su said, "This cousin is not like an aunt." Her appearance, looking at her cousin, she had no blood relationship with her cousin.

Shen Shiying, "What's this? How can you just look at people's appearance?"

"Look at people first, look at their appearance." Chen Su just asked casually and laughed, "It's no match for our Zijin." Of course, in Uncle Shen's heart, it's the best niece.

Speaking of his daughter, Shen laughed, "I'm so worried when I eat and play every day."

"Zi Jin is only a few years old. At this time, children should have fun eating and playing." Speaking of their niece, Chen Su smiled, "Our mother always talks about Zi Jin and A Lie at home. A Lie is young and can't live without her sister. Zi Jin is already five years old, so she sleeps in the room by herself. It's okay if she leaves her sister. After Mid-Autumn Festival, the fields are free, so let Zi Jin live for a while. Last year, because I was going to prepare for the exam for a scholar, my sister was afraid of disturbing me, so she didn't ask the children to go there during the New Year. This year, I have passed the exam for scholars. There are people at home watching her, so I will ask her to play for a while."

Shen smiled, "If you go, go, please call her after the Double Ninth Festival."

"Okay." Chen Su smiled, "I'll pick up Zijin at that time."
