Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Fang Shaoyao was so busy that she had no energy to spare, so she had to send her own nanny to take care of her. Aunt Fang looked apologetic and said, "Our wife just invited a few handkerchiefs to hand over, but unexpectedly she and the sister-in-law of the Li family caught up with the guests for the day. …”

Aunt Fang only said half of what she said, but Li Haitang understood.

It stands to reason that when Fang Shaoyao was entertaining guests at home, he must have sent someone to inform him, and the rest of the Li family would give in. However, the other party not only did not give in, but also arranged the party on the same day, and then they bumped into each other.

Most of the wives of the Li family were from official families, and even the seventh- and ninth-grade Zhima Officials looked down upon Fang Shaoyao, who was born a merchant girl.

But the other party can't make a fool of themselves. After all, they have to rely on Li Guanglu, who was born as a concubine, to do things. He dare not say anything on big things, but makes moves on small things.

No, all the ladies are not in the same social circle, so it is very quiet, or two or three people gather together to say bad things about others.

"It's okay, Aunt Fang, the iced sour plum soup is delicious."

Ice was added to the sour plum soup, which was sour and sweet, and it was also very refreshing. Li Haitang picked up two pieces of sweet and spicy duck with his hands, and felt sad while eating. It was so satisfying.

"You really know how to eat."

Seeing that Li Haitang was not in a mood, Aunt Fang seemed not to take it seriously and was very happy. "The sour plum soup is made by an old slave. It is spicy duck. It is our wife's favorite food. The taste here in Kyoto is light. I didn't expect it to be good for you." This mouthful."

Li Haitang commented while eating, and finally agreed with Aunt Fang that she would leave this skill to Chunmei.

In summer, sour plum soup tastes better than herbal tea. Eating something spicy can also relieve spicy food and reduce heat. There are countless benefits.

She was waiting for a letter from her cheap brother Yu Feiling, and she didn't know how he was doing among the barbarians. It was really treacherous to use this method to infiltrate the enemy and gradually make all the barbarians become his followers.

Yu Feiling hurriedly pushed her away, but the letter still hadn't arrived. It was useless for her to explore the secret location of the Yu family on her own.

"Haitang, come here and sit here for a while."

In the bamboo building upstairs, a window opened, revealing Fang Shaoyao's round face. She stuck her head out, and then retracted her head.

Li Haitang smiled helplessly, then stood up and approached the bamboo building.

The bamboo building was in the water, with an ice basin inside. As soon as she entered the door, the cool breath hit her face, making her close her eyes comfortably and take a deep breath.

There are mosquitoes outside, but the bamboo building is clean, with sunlight shining through, and light gauze hanging around it, adding a bit of beauty.

There were many rooms in the bamboo house, and Fang Shaoyao was in one of them. After luring Li Haitang over, he asked the maid to go outside to entertain the guests.

Sitting by the window in the room was a pretty girl with a delicate smile. She looked very comfortable and didn't feel unfamiliar at all.

"This is my handkerchief, Lin Wan."

Fang Shaoyao introduced that Lin Wan rarely attended gatherings because of her status as a widow. On some occasions, many ladies find it unlucky and refuse to sit with widows, which would lower their style.

The Lin Wan family and the Fang family have been neighbors for more than ten years, and both are businessmen.

Lin Wan married a weak scholar. The scholar rushed to take the exam and caught wind and cold a few days before the exam, so he missed the exam every three years.

The scholar was utilitarian, anxious and angry, and complained about his dilapidated body. Just like that, he died.

The scholar's family came to Lin's house and caused trouble for two or three years. Lin Wan's parents were exhausted both mentally and physically, and they regretted marrying their daughter to such a family. He is fundamentally different from Li Guanglu. He is hopeless and a short-lived ghost.

After two or three years of turmoil, the scholar's father and mother received a sum of money and died down. The Lin family was also severely damaged. Lin Wan's father was not interested in doing business, so that several shops in the family were unable to make ends meet.

Fang Shaoyao did not hide these, and some of them were added by Lin Wan herself.

When making friends, the most important thing is to be honest. Li Haitang is not a pedantic person, so he really doesn't think there is anything wrong with being a widow.

After a man dies, he can still remarry. Lin Wan is only in her twenties, which is a good time.

"Begonia, I feel more comfortable in the North, but not in Kyoto. If Lin Wan remarries, the first one to make trouble will definitely be her husband's family."

Fang Shaoyao shook his head, sighed, and then said the purpose of Lin Wan's visit, "I heard before that you wanted to open a food shop in Songhe Academy. Coincidentally, the pastry shop next to the wine shop is owned by the Lin family."

Fang Shaoyao was immediately interested and asked Lin Wan what he meant. He learned that the shop had not been profitable and the Lin family had long wanted to sell the shop.

"so?"

Li Haitang quickly held Fang Shaoyao's hand and expressed his gratitude.

For the past two days, he has been busy with the procedures for the newly purchased yard. Li Duanjie was weak and the matter of opening a shop was temporarily put on hold.

She didn't expect that before Li Duanjie could contact him, she would meet the owner of the pastry shop first.

"But what are the conditions?"

The location of Lin's shop is perfect. If you don't do business yourself, renting it out will cost you a lot of money a year, but you won't lose money.

"Haitang, you are a smart person."

Lin Wan gave a thumbs up. She had heard her good sister Fang Shaoyao praise Li Haitang profusely before, but she still had some doubts in her heart. After all, they had only known each other for a short time, so she was afraid that everything was fake.

She thought about finding a chance to meet someone and then tell her her plan.

Now, needless to say, the other party is very wise.

"This shop of mine is ancestral property, and I didn't originally plan to sell it, but my father has no intention of doing business now, so I will basically take over the business."

The Lin family started out by making snacks. When Lin Wan's grandfather was still alive, he worked as an imperial cook in the palace, specializing in making pastries and snacks for the nobles. His craftsmanship was impeccable.

However, none of the family members learned this craft well, so the Lin family's business was in decline and they could only barely maintain their capital.

In summer, it is the off-season, and people are suffering from summer pain. The most they can do is sell some cold cakes. The Lin family's cakes are expensive, and the people don't buy it.

Lin Wan wanted to change her career and start a rouge gouache business. She had a large flower field in the suburbs of Beijing, and the gouache she developed herself was delicate and lustrous.

However, it is not easy to change careers. Even if there is gouache, there is no shop in a good location. You can't open a gouache shop near Songhe Academy. That will cost your grandma's family.

"So, my condition is that whoever takes over the dim sum shop should switch shops with me, even if I add more money."

A store in a good location could not be bought with a daily income. Lin Wan had an idea and came up with the idea of ​​​​changing the store. If the location of the other store was particularly good, she would not mind spending more money. Li Haitang touched his chin. Lin Wan's idea was good and there was room for implementation, but the embarrassing thing was that she only had Ji Qiu's wine shop and didn't have any extra for replacement. She was afraid that she would not be able to meet the conditions.
