MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 85
"Little Daddy, tea shed!"
Zhang Fangyuan changed the clothes for the two children to go out. Rui Li put them on first, and couldn't wait to slide down Zhang Fangyuan's long legs, just like sitting on a slide, and ran out to find Xu He after landing.
"Your father wants to take the two of you to the tea shed?"
Xu He was fermenting duck eggs wrapped in mud to make preserved eggs at the corner of the yard. The long and round duck eggs were rolling around in the mud. Rui carp's eyes were round, and he couldn't help but start rolling his sleeves.
"It's sunny outside, so you have to wear a little hat when you go out." Xu He stood up and arranged an errand in time to interrupt the little boy's thoughts: "Go, remember to get the hat for brother too."
Rui Li glanced at the duck egg again, and Wenzi ruthlessly took the basin to the kitchen, pursing his mouth lingeringly: "Okay then."
Chutu ran back again.
The two little guys learned to talk and walk much earlier than the children of the same age in the village. When they were a little over one year old, they could speak a lot of short sentences. Now they are one and a half years old and can run around and communicate more clearly with their family members.
It may be that the two treasures have more opportunities to sleep and talk together, and they will learn to speak quickly. Rui carp is like a chatterbox, he can usually point to a vegetable in the yard and talk for a long time.
And Ruijin doesn't talk much, if you don't ask him, he usually doesn't speak much, he doesn't like people coming to tease him, he even pretends to be sleeping, and when he is doing business, many relatives, friends and folks want to see him Seeing two cubs, he yawned and wanted to sleep after playing for a while.
Against the background of small talk, Ruijin's words are really sparse. People in the village gossip that Ruijin is a bit stupid, and he won't cry when he was born.
Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He were also worried for a while, and took Ruijin to see the best doctor in the city, but after a checkup, the child was very healthy, presumably because of his personality, which made the couple feel relieved.
After a while, Xu He washed his hands, and the two little guys came out wearing custom-made straw hats, and another one carried a small gourd filled with water on his waist, jumping around happily.
The hat was made by his fourth uncle after measuring the heads of the two little guys, and he would happily wear it every time he went out.
"Daddy, shall we walk or drive?"
Zhang Fangyuan held one in each hand: "When did you go out? The three-step road is either soft or afraid of stepping on the grass. Let's go out in Xiaohei."
"it is good!"
"You two wait in the yard first, Wu Zi is not at home today, Daddy is going to harness the horse."
A family of four sits in the cart door, Zhang Fangyuan is driving the horse in front, and Xu He is looking after the two cubs at the back of the cart. In fact, the most important thing is to watch Rui Li. Generally speaking, the elder brother will only help to watch the younger brother. Son.
Originally, it was possible to go out in a sedan chair, but the two children didn't like to make a sedan chair very much in summer. It felt stuffy and hot, and they couldn't open it to look outside.
Zhang Fangyuan originally wanted to buy a summer carriage. It was cooler and safer to take children than a cart, but he made these things public in the village. Except for taking the children out, he used them on weekdays. The practicality is not high, so I gave up and saved the money.
"Er Bao, there are a lot of people in the tea shed today, you can't run around. If you run around and get caught by traffickers, you won't have dad and brother."
"Yeah. I know."
Ruijin also said for the first time: "Dabao will be optimistic about Erbao."
Xu He laughed and touched Ruijin's face: "Our brother is the most obedient."
After more than a year, the official road tea shed has changed a lot.
In the large space where there was only a small tea shed before, a two-story guest house has been built, surrounded on three sides, with a large hollow courtyard, with a pavilion built in between, and it has imitated the curved water cup that the literati in the city love.
A small curved ditch was dug in the open space under the pavilion, and the water flow was introduced when it was used. At that time, literati sat around, put the wine glass into the water flow, and whoever wrote the poem wherever the glass stopped.
Zhang Fangyuan, a vulgar man, has never experienced these kinds of tricks. He is only interested in playing polo for the fun of the clan and gentry in the city. The reason why I made this water cup was mentioned in the city when I heard a merchant with a scholar at home eating wine.
In addition, three rows of huts were built next to the guest house, which were divided into grid rooms for people to set up stalls to sell food or gadgets, and they were specially rented out.
When it was first built, Zhang Fangyuan was also worried that he would not be able to rent it out. Previously, he planned to build only one row of small stalls, or six or seven stalls. But I didn't expect that all the commercial sheds in the row of stalls had just been repaired.
Boss Huang from the tea garden asked for one. He wanted to set up a small stall here for his tea and send people to guard it. Representatives from the two villages of Jiaba came to rent stalls, and what was outrageous was that they also came to set up a stall at the Guanyin Temple to sell incense, candles and money paper.
Later, Zhang Fangyuan built two more rows of stalls, and villagers from various villages might come to rent them.
He collects money according to the stall market at the other end of Tianjie, which can be rented for a long time or a short time, with a minimum rent of one day.
Came here today, the inn has been completely cleaned, and the room is tidy and comfortable. Although it is not as luxurious as the inns and restaurants in the city, it still has the style of a country house.
Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He checked whether each room was clean and whether the things were properly arranged.
The two cubs were led up and down, and they were very interested at first, but after walking five rooms, they started to play tricks.
"A lot of rooms, I want to sleep."
"This is for guests to sleep, we don't sleep."
"Hmm...but I can't walk anymore." Rui Li got out of Zhang Fangyuan's hand and squatted on the ground.
Ruijin was led by Xu He, he pulled Xu He over, touched the little brother's head: "Brother leads you."
Rui Li looked at his brother seriously: "I can't hold my hand anymore."
Xu He shook his head: "If you insist on going one more time, Daddy will hug you in the next room."
Hearing this, Rui Li immediately stood up and ran to the door of the next room in the corridor to squat.
Zhang Fangyuan laughed, and went to pick up the squatting short winter melon.
When they were away from home, the couple had gotten used to Zhang Fangyuan taking care of the younger one, and Xu He taking care of the older one. It's really that the little brother is too noisy, and the family has fed people to fat, and he will become sore after holding his hands for a long time. Xu He feels that even after digging in the village all day, he is not tired of holding the child.
Rui Li leaned against Zhang Fangyuan's neck, his big eyes flickering: "It's so lively outside, there seems to be an uncle selling big watermelons."
"Father can still sell short winter melons."
Rui Li turned around and hugged Zhang Fangyuan's neck: "Where to sell it?"
Xu He couldn't help laughing and his shoulders trembled when he heard this, Zhang Fangyuan didn't answer him.
Ruijin was still led by Xu He, he walked behind the little brother, raised his chin and said kindly: "The short winter melon that Daddy said is the second treasure."
Rui Li hurriedly turned around again, hugged Zhang Fangyuan's neck and climbed up a little bit, buried his head to look at his brother: "Why! Daddy don't want to sell short winter melons!"
"I used all my private money to buy you a big watermelon, what do you say?" Zhang Fangyuan rubbed his dough-like arm: "Then I can only sell short winter melons to make some money."
Rui Li retracted his neck: "Then don't eat the big watermelon."
After speaking, she turned her head to look at Ruijin: "Brother, don't eat big watermelon."
Ruijin nodded. Although he was not as fat as his younger brother, he was only a little higher than his daddy's knees, and he looked like a round, long, hoarfrost winter melon lying in the ground, so he was also suspected of being a short winter melon.
"The guesthouses are all ready. I looked at the almanac. Three days later, Tangjiaba's watermelon field will open. People have already looked at the almanac to see the date. Let's save a lot of trouble and just open. People have been coming these days. Ask when the inn will be ready for people to live in."
Zhang Fangyuan led Xu He to the stall at the other end. Although the guest house hadn't opened yet, the stalls in the first row had already been loaded and someone was guarding them.
Tea, joss sticks, fruits, snacks, and a stall on the far side sells land scriptures. There are local scriptures in various surrounding villages, tea gardens, Guanyin temples, and forest farms. They introduce in detail the food, drink and entertainment in small places, and here The place to play in the whole area.
This is the person in charge of various villages and amusement places during the Chinese New Year. He raised funds and spent money to go to the city and invite a gentleman to go to the countryside to travel around and draw out the earth scriptures. The workshops that will be found later will be rubbed out in batches. of.
This stall is very important. For this reason, I chose a conspicuous place to build it. It is operated by Zhang Fangyuan’s own stall, but the village chiefs and directors of various villages will come here occasionally to see if the supervisor has privately posted their stalls. Dijing was hidden and not sold, or it was sold out and there was no replenishment.
"The stalls in the first two rows are waiting for the guest houses to open, and there must be people coming to rent them one after another. There are quite a few people who inquire, but they all want to wait and see."
The couple were talking about business matters, but they didn't notice that when they passed the watermelon stand, the two cubs shrank into their arms in a tacit understanding, and closed their eyes not to look at the red glow, which was full of water and sweet. The thirst-quenching big watermelon, but the vendor who wanted to fool the boy into eating watermelon was a little surprised, why didn't he wait to see him today.
Xu He was very pleased to see that the crowd was surging, and the business was two or three times better than when the tea shed first opened.
He thought, this time he has also turned around, from a pitiful peddler who was oppressed by renting stalls to one who collects rent, how can he not be satisfied.
"Three catties of sauce. Order ten jars of small wine outside."
After visiting the stalls, the two were going to rest in the tea shed. Although this side is cooler than other places, but it is hot in summer and there are more people taking out here, so it is not as relaxing and comfortable as before. Just now when he went there, he watched Lady Fei with her hips in her arms at the door, yelling at Wu Zi to get her something.
Xu He said: "I think it is to buy things for the second sister's child's full moon wine."
Now their village is very convenient, and it is no longer like a few years ago when they had to go to the city to buy something.
Now if anyone wants to do business, they can go to Chen Si's place to order pork first, and then they can buy it at a cheaper price than in the city and have it delivered to their doorstep.
If you want chickens and ducks, you can go to Zhang's poultry garden to see them, and you can catch as many as you want. Fish is even easier to manage. There are fish ponds everywhere in the village. Maybe you don’t need to go to other houses to buy them. There are fish ponds at home to catch fish.
There are only so many main dishes for banquets, pork, chicken, duck and fish, which can be found in the village now, and there are not more side dishes in the village. At most, there are almost sauces and drinks, and you don’t have to go all the way to the city for several hours. You can buy them at the tea shed when you leave the village. In the past, if you bought a lot, you might have to make a reservation. Now the guest house is under construction. Wake up, there can't be any more wine materials in stock.
The only exception is that salt can’t be bought, and now everything around the village can be prepared. For this reason, there have been more and more small things in the village in the past two years.
"The family was busy when the child was born, and I didn't have time to go there with these two guys. Send two jars of wine to Mrs. Fei later. The second sister gave birth to a son, and she will definitely be willing to accept it."
Zhang Fangyuan said: "Success. I will go to the Full Moon Wine with you when the time comes. There are still some days left. Now I will be busy with the opening of the business."
