The son-in-law of a prosperous family

Master Chu: "Nothing!"

"Then take care. I don't think you can drink my tea, do you?"

I haven't tried the tea, but the wine is good.

Master Chu untied the pouch on his waist, took out some silver and handed it to Zhao Yunchuan: "Give me a medium-sized Lihua Zui!"

Their wine previously only had four sizes, but after some thought they added one more, making it five grades in total: extra large, large, medium, small, and mini.

Nowadays, whenever people buy jars of wine, they will ask about the size.

Of course, it’s best to buy the extra large size!

Some restaurants nearby like to buy large sizes!!!

Recently, the business of the tavern has been in short supply, which is contrary to Zhao Yunchuan's original intention. He originally thought that as long as he had a business to make a living, it would be enough. Why is the business getting better and better now?

If this continues, he and Huai Ge'er will definitely be too busy to handle it...

Should I look for helpers or partners at that time?

Zhao Yunchuan fell into deep thought!

"What are you standing there for? Don't you want to sell me some wine?"

Zhao Yunchuan came back to his senses and took the silver in his hand: "Sell, why not?"

There is no reason not to do the business that is already in hand.

Zhao Yunchuan turned around and went to get wine for people!

After sending the giant Buddha away, it was getting dark, so Fang Huai simply closed the shop and the two of them ate at a small table in the yard.

Zhao Yunchuan made today's dinner, which includes braised pork, egg pancakes, and fried chrysanthemum. The staple food is cold noodles, and the snack is ice jelly, which is made with a variety of small ingredients and syrup. It is icy and very delicious to relieve the heat.

After the delicious meal, both of them felt refreshed.

Zhao Yunchuan touched his belly and found it was really bloated!

"Husband, it would be great if we could always live like this!"

They can eat well, drink well, and dress well. In the summer, they have ice to use, and they get money every day. Life is so good that even if a god came, they would not change it.

"That's impossible!"

Fang Huai sat up straight, and heard Zhao Yunchuan continue to say: "Our lives will definitely get better and better! Maybe there will be someone to serve us in the future."

Thinking of this, Fang Huai also laughed: "Then I will work hard to make money and try to buy two more servants for my husband."

Zhao Yunchuan: ...

It feels like he is a gigolo!

But this soft rice is really delicious and good for the stomach!

"Bang bang bang!"

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Zhao Yunchuan got up and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, Duan Wenshu rushed in, fanning himself with the fan in his hand. He asked directly, "What did you eat tonight?"

It's really too hot and humid today!

He was so bored that he had no appetite at all. The mute woman didn't dare to cook hot dishes anymore, so she made only cold dishes. However, he was tired of eating cold cucumbers, cold purslane, and mouth-watering chicken.

If you can’t eat the food at home, you have to go out to find food, and the best place to go is Fang’s house.

He has not forgotten Zhao Yunchuan's craftsmanship!

Duan Wenshu sat directly beside the small table, looking at the leftovers on it, speechless.

"No more? Not even a little bit?"

There were no refrigerators in ancient times, and it is a hot summer now, so food is not easy to preserve. The husband and wife are not wasteful people, so they cook based on their estimation every time, and the food is just enough for two people!

"There are still some cold noodles and ice jelly in the kitchen!"

These are intended to be a midnight snack and are being chilled now.

Hearing this, Duan Wenshu said without hesitation: "I want to eat! Give me some, I'm starving!"

Zhao Yunchuan looked at him with disdain: "You are not starving, why do you come here every few days to eat for free? Do you think it's okay?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's your fault for cooking such delicious food!"

Duan Wenshu likes the food cooked by Zhao Yunchuan, but not the food cooked by Fang Huai. Fang Huai’s cooking skills are just average, just eatable.

He was picky about food and couldn't swallow it after eating it once.

Today, I came to eat because I knew that Zhao Yunchuan was cooking.

"At worst, I can treat you to a meal at Quanjulou next time!"

Quanjulou is also a very famous restaurant in the city. Their specialty is stewed pork elbow, which is rich, mellow, fragrant, tasty, soft, chewy and chewy. No one who has tried their stewed pork elbow will dislike it.

"Sure, I haven't tried the stewed pork elbow at Quanjulou yet, so I'd like to trouble Brother Wenshu to take me there to broaden my horizons!"

Duan Wenshu was flattered by the compliment: "It's nothing, nothing."

Zhao Yunchuan: "Can you pack another portion when the time comes?"

While you are eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks outside, you naturally can't forget Huai Ge'er.

"No big deal!" Duan Wenshu said generously, "Don't mention one, ten will do!"

Zhao Yunchuan was even happier: "Then I won't be polite next time."

"Don't be polite, don't be polite, why are you being polite to me?"

In consideration of Duan Wenshu's generosity, Zhao Yunchuan mixed out the remaining cold noodles and made another bowl of ice jelly.

Duan Wenshu enjoyed the meal very much!

The cold skin is icy and spicy, with great color, aroma and taste. The ice jelly is just as good, it’s icy, cool and sweet, and it contains many small ingredients such as crushed peanuts and hawthorns. It’s cool and chewy when you take a bite!

"Delicious, delicious, so delicious! You are really good at cooking. Why don't you open a food shop? I will definitely come to your house every day to take care of your business."

Zhao Yunchuan shook his head: "I don't have the time, nor the energy!"

People's energy is limited. If you can't distinguish the primary from the secondary, and want to grab something here and take something there, you will end up losing money on both ends.

Zhao Yunchuan knew clearly that the most important thing for him now was scientific research. He would do other things if he had the energy. If he didn't have the energy, he would never force himself.

"We can work together!"

Duan Wenshu liked doing business, and at this moment, he said with great enthusiasm: "As usual, you just need to give me the formula, and I will take care of the rest. You can just sit back and make money, and count the money until your hands cramp!"

If that's the case, then it's not impossible!

"Are you sure you want to do business in the capital? Uncle and aunt won't..."

When mentioning his parents, Duan Wenshu suddenly became depressed.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah!

I was so excited just now that I almost forgot about them.

"They won't agree, will they?"

Nine times out of ten, they will not agree!

The reason is simple. They are counting on Duan Wenshu to take the imperial examination and naturally don't want him to spend a lot of time and energy on other things.

"If you can convince your uncle and aunt, we can consider doing business together!"

Duan Wenshu came in excitedly and left in dejected mood.

Yan Tai looked at him in such a listless state and was very confused. Wasn't it Brother Chuan who cooked today's meal?

That's impossible, he has clearly already found out!

"Master, who has made you unhappy? Tell Yantai, and Yantai will beat him up even if he risks his life!"

As he said that, he began to get ready.

"Our inkstone is still the best!" Duan Wenshu looked deeply moved: "My father, go!"

"what?"

Yan Tai didn't react for a moment: "What's wrong with the master? Where are you going?"

Duan Wenshu said: "Didn't you just ask who offended me? Didn't you want to help me teach him a lesson? My father, go and teach him a lesson!"

Yan Tai immediately revealed an expression that was uglier than crying. He was in great embarrassment and began to beg for mercy: "Master, even if you give me ten or eight courages, I would not dare to hit the master. What's the difference between this and asking me to go and die?"

There is really no difference!

The inkstone's indenture contract is in Duan Qiu Ming's hands, and its life or death is a matter of a word from others.

"But there is no overnight hatred between father and son. The master still cares about you, his son."

Duan Wenshu was still a little depressed: "Since he cares about me, why does he never respect my hobbies and my choices?"

He was not good at studying and had no interest in imperial examinations. His only hobby since childhood was doing business. At the same time, he set a goal for himself to become the first imperial merchant of the Dajing Dynasty.

Although this goal is ambitious, what if it is achieved?

But now, he didn't even have a chance to give it a try.

Because his parents never gave him a chance at all!

"Master, didn't the masters say that as long as you pass the exam, they will grant you one request?"

"Oh! You thought I hadn't mentioned it?"

He applied for the title of Tongsheng on the very night he passed the examination, and was then rewarded with a mixed doubles meal and stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots!

Later, he thought of settling for the next best thing and doing business while studying in the provincial capital, but his parents rejected his idea mercilessly.

Duan Wenshu was very angry and said that they did not keep their word.

His father said: "We only said we would agree to one of your requests, but we didn't say when we would agree to it!"

"You...are you trying to take advantage of a loophole? You're so cunning!"

Duan Qiu Ming did not deny it, and his words were even more impolite: "Do you think business is easy? As the saying goes, there is no business without fraud. Which businessman is not a fox? You can't even beat your father!

I'm still letting you go out to do business? Are you waiting for someone to cheat you out of everything?"

Duan Wenshu was not convinced: "The reason why I defend you is because you are my family, I have no defenses against you!

But I am cautious with outsiders!"

To this, Duan Qiuming only replied: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield!"

You really need to be cautious in real time, but you can't be careless at all!

If you are not careful, you will lose everything, not even your underwear!

After thinking about what happened before, Duan Wenshu felt even more depressed.

He wanted to drink, and he wanted to drink to his heart's content!

When he got home, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before he rushed out. When he arrived at Fang's house, the couple were washing dishes in the kitchen.

When Zhao Yunchuan opened the door and saw that it was him, he was a little surprised.

"Why are you here again?"

Could it be that something fell here?

But when they were cleaning up just now, they didn't find anything.

Duan Wenshu directly stated his purpose: "I want to drink!"

Zhao Yunchuan: "Rice wine or pear blossom wine? Or hawthorn? Plum?"

The alcohol content of these wines is relatively low, so it’s not easy to get drunk!

"Who drinks that? A man should drink the strongest liquor!"

Zhao Yunchuan: ...

Is he okay? Is he okay? Is he okay?

How come I'm drunk before I even drink?

"I want to drink Shaodaozi!"

Just then, Yan Tai also came over with a tray with some side dishes on it!

Fried peanuts, cold cucumber salad, braised beef, and salted edamame.

This is what Yan Tai bought outside: "How can you drink without snacks? Master, Brother Chuan, what else do you want to eat? I'll go buy it!"

Zhao Yunchuan: ...

Really, he didn't want to eat or drink. He just wanted to kick Duan Wenshu out. He had finally agreed with Huai Ge'er to exercise in the evening, so what was he doing now?

Disturb his good deeds?

Zhao Yunchuan felt like strangling someone to death!

"I have to go to the academy tomorrow. If I don't drink, what will I do if I get drunk?"

Duan Wenshu: "Just ask for leave! Just say we are sick. Will the teachers let us go to class while we are sick?"

Zhao Yunchuan pointed at himself, then at Duan Wenshu, with an expression that was hard to describe: "Isn't it strange that we both get sick at the same time?"

Duan Wenshu still didn't take it seriously: "What's so strange about this? Who said that we can't be sick at the same time? Just say we ate the wrong food at night and got diarrhea!"

Haha, it’s true!

Whether in ancient times or modern times, the most common excuse students use to ask for leave is diarrhea.

"We both had dinner at the same table tonight. How normal is it to have diarrhea at the same time?"

It was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it.

But Zhao Yunchuan really didn't want to drink. He still wanted to exercise with Huai Ge'er. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you really want to drink Shaodaozi?"

The alcohol content of Shaodaozi is actually not low. Modern Shaodaozi is 60 to 80 degrees. Due to the lack of brewing skills, the Shaodaozi brewed by Zhao Yunchuan is not that high, but it is at least 50 to 60 degrees.

For people with average alcohol tolerance, they will probably fall asleep after drinking less than two ounces of alcohol.

"Even if I have to drink Shaodaozi, I have to drink the strongest liquor!"

Zhao Yunchuan curled his lips, and said, "Then drink. But let's make it clear first. I can't drink much. I can't drink Shaodaozi. I'll probably be drunk in less than one glass!"

Duan Wenshu always felt that Zhao Yunchuan had bad intentions.

Maybe he's overthinking it?

"Then what do you want to drink? Don't drink Coke!" What a bummer.

Zhao Yunchuan said: "I drink rice wine."

It’s okay!

Although the alcohol content of rice wine is a little lower, it is still wine after all.

After they agreed, they sat down together in the yard.

Fang Huai frowned. He didn't want Zhao Yunchuan to drink at this time. What if he got drunk? Would he be able to go to the academy to study tomorrow?

But he didn't object!

In front of outsiders, she had to give her husband enough face.

"Husband, would you like some snacks to go with the wine?"

If he wants, he'll get it.

Zhao Yunchuan pointed at the snacks Yan Tai had bought and said, "No, I won't be able to drink for too long!"

Can't drink for too long?

This sounded a bit strange, but Fang Huai didn't think too much about it and turned back to the room.

After Yan Tai served the snacks and drinks, he was about to leave, but Zhao Yunchuan stopped him.

"Don't leave, otherwise it will be troublesome to go back and forth."

What do you mean?

Yantai shook his head: "This is against the rules!"

How could the head of the family sit and drink with the master?

Duan Wenshu glanced at him and said, "Sit down!"

Only then did Yan Tai sit down.
