Begging You to Break Off This Engagement!

Under the leadership of Han Yang, Jing Rong went down to look at the room of Qin Guizhi's natal family, and it can be said that she fell in love with her at a glance.Although the house is not big, there are two rooms on the left and right, and the kitchen is separated in the middle. It may be smaller than Xi Yanqing's house, but the yard is big enough.Both the front and back yards are huge.And it can be seen that the original owner was very diligent and kept the house quite clean.The only bad thing is that there are no people there for a long time, and it looks very deserted.

But thinking about how such a large yard can accommodate the sheep at home, Jing Rong felt that he could buy it first.Anyway, this is an excessive place. After everything is settled in Huaping Village, he still needs to build a new house.

So Jing Rong went to find Village Chief Lin again, and Village Chief Lin saw that he was determined to buy it, so he took him to Qin Guizhi.

Qin Guizhi had never seen Jingrong before, but this person was brought by the village head, and she was in a hurry to spend the money. As long as she saw the money, who would sell it?So he agreed to take Qin Guizhi to see the house.But Jingrong said that he had seen the house, and that he came here to decide to lower the price.Moreover, the price he pressed was not the same as that offered by Village Chief Lin.

"14 taels?!" Qin Guizhi opened his mouth wide and looked at the strange boy in front of him, "Young man, I'm afraid you haven't bought a house before? The price is not as good as you negotiated. My house is only sold for 18 taels of silver. You can buy it right away." Press it down for four taels, how can you buy a house sincerely?"

"I came here to lower the price because I bought a house sincerely. I just went to see your house. It has not been occupied for a long time, and it is not very popular. There is a leak in the roof. If I want to live in it, I have to repair it now, and the fence in the yard has to be remade. I also checked in the house, and there is nothing in it, only the two kangs, even the pot on the stove has been removed. I have to rebuild the stove.”

"Then you can't just give 14 taels of silver, 14 taels can't be sold." Qin Guizhi thinks about that house and she still has feelings very much. If it wasn't because she really couldn't get enough money for those farm laborers, she wouldn't sell it!

"That's all." Jing Rong said, turning around to leave without hesitation.

"Boy Jing, don't you want to buy it?" Village head Lin thought to himself that this is even better than him, 14 taels? !How dare you press!

"To be honest, Grandpa Lin, I don't have to buy it in Huaping Village. There are also a few suitable houses in Liuya Village. The house that is the same size as the house I saw today only costs 13 taels. I just looked at it. If there are more people here, I want to be here. But if it exceeds 14 taels, it is not worth it."

"If that's the case, then you can make up your own mind." Village head Lin didn't intend to help Qin Guizhi, and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Qin Guizhi hastily called out, "Young man, I am sincerely selling this house. The price is negotiable, but you can't really lower it to 14 taels. How much manpower do you think it takes to build a house? Besides, my house is so nice, there is a small river not far away, and it is convenient to wash clothes in summer." The most important thing is that this person is leaving and her house might not be sold!

"It's only 14 taels, and I can't add any more. If you can sell it to me for 14 taels, I can buy it today."

"But 14 and two committees are really too little." Qin Guizhi was anxious, fearing that the buyer would run away, but also feeling that the money was too little.She had thought that after selling the house, she would give money to the farmer and keep some more in her hand.But if there were only 14 taels, there would be nothing left after paying the farmer.

"I will leave Huaping Village tomorrow. If you make up your mind, you can find me at the village chief's house." This is what the village chief told him on the way here, and told him not to mention Xi Yanqing or Han Yang The house, in case Qin Guizhi finds out, he would rather freeze than sell the house.Although this situation is unlikely at the moment, what if?

"Let's do this, 17 taels of silver, young man, how about 17 taels of silver?" Qin Guizhi thought, why should he make some money?

"14 taels, this is the highest price I can offer." Jing Rong left after finishing speaking.

Village head Lin wanted to leave, but was stopped by Qin Guizhi in the next second.Qin Guizhi asked where Jing Rong came from, and the village chief said that he was introduced by an old friend. Qin Guizhi didn't think much about it, but felt that the 14 taels were too little, so he asked Village Chief Lin to help her talk about it.Even if it comes to 16 taels. She sold it at 16 taels.

Village head Lin wasn't sure if what Jing Rong just said was serious or if he wanted to lower the price a bit before giving Qin Guizhi room to rebound. Hearing the words, he said, "Fucking sail, I can't say anything about it. If I can't say it well, let me know." What can I do to make him stop buying your house? Boy Zhao and the others have been begging for wages with your family for a long time, right? If you don’t sell this house right now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to sell it. You said it’s winter Who can come to our place to buy a house? I heard that this young man wants to raise sheep, and he came here because he thinks that our mountains and rivers and grasslands are beautiful. But which place in our ten miles and eight villages is not rich in water and grass?" The river runs through several villages, and each village has beautiful mountains and rivers.

Qin Guizhi also understood that what Village Chief Lin said was reasonable, but there were too few 14th committees!

Village head Lin sighed: "You can think about it yourself. Anyway, the person who paid for it is Kid Jing, and I have nothing to do with it."

Qin Guizhi gritted his teeth: "Let me think again!"

Or... borrow some money and give it to those farm laborers first, so the house won't be sold?But where can I borrow this money?The only uncle's family that could be borrowed now has a bad relationship with her family because of Zhang Sheng's matter, and she doesn't want to ask his family.Besides, Zhang Sheng's family may not be able to afford the money.

Qin Guizhi was worried when someone came outside again.

At first, Qin Guizhi thought it was the village head and Jing Rong who had left and returned, and was very happy, but when he heard the sound, it turned out to be those beggars again!

Someone was staring at Qin Guizhi's house. She heard that someone wanted to buy her house, but she didn't want to sell it for too little money. How could she bear it?Quickly called a large group of people over: "Qin Guizhi! If you don't give us the money today, don't blame us for being rude! We all listened, someone wants to buy your house! Open the door for us!"

"Yes, if you don't open the door again, don't blame me for smashing the wall of your house!" Someone fiercely threw stones into Qin Guizhi's yard.

"Brothers, I think she doesn't cry when she doesn't see the official, so smash it!" The five-year-old and three-year-old man knocked on the door of Qin Guizhi's house with a thick wooden stick in his hand, "Zhang Yangfan, you shrink your head! What kind of man do you dare not let a fart go?! Come out for me!"

"Yangfan, my son, what do you think we should do?! Think of a way!" Qin Guizhi was so frightened that he dared not leave the door.

"What can I do? You can just sell the house to that person just now?" Zhang Yangfan didn't dare to go out, so he didn't want to reason with those rural folk who didn't know a single word!

"But that person only gave 14 taels! This, this is too little!"

"It's too little, now it's too little, when we call our house, 14 taels will not be enough to see the injury!" Zhang Yangfan shouted impatiently, "Hurry up and sell these people away! It's so noisy that it's hard for people to sleep peacefully at night. .”

"You still dare to be fierce with your mother! I don't even think about who is responsible for this!" Qin Guizhi said so, but stomped his feet and went out. 14 taels for 14 taels!People are more important than money!

What Jing Rong thought was to lower the price to 14 taels, and then we’ll see, if the other party really thinks it’s too low, he can increase the price to 15 taels. If it's 15 taels, it's a good deal to buy this house.Didn't expect to buy it at 14 taels? !Jing Rong was a little surprised, but seeing Qin Guizhi followed by a group of people waiting for money, he suddenly understood.Ganqing is really under the nose.

After Luo Yong went to Huangtan Town and chatted with Jing Rong a lot, he also mentioned some things about this family, so Jing Rong had a very bad impression of Zhang Yangfan and his wife.It can be said that he felt that the 14 taels of silver was too little, but he didn't feel ashamed at all!

Qin Guizhi was anxious to get the money, so he asked Zhang Yangfan to go through the formalities with Jing Rong.Jing Rong brought money with him, and after going to the town with Zhang Yangfan, he pressed his fingerprints, paid the money, and quickly completed the formalities.It's only one day when the house deed is obtained.

Jing Rong himself felt like a dream, and everything went smoothly.I didn't expect to have a good start in Huaping Village.

"It's really unexpected fast." Xi Yanqing saw the deed and confirmed it was correct, "You are still the same as before, and you can handle things quickly."

"Brother Jingrong, are you going to move here directly this time?" Luo Fei asked.

"Come here after the house and land over there are sold." Jing Rong said shyly, "I'm going to trouble Brother Xi and Brother Qi these days." .But to burn the kang, at least there must be a pot on the stove, and he can't take care of it in a hurry, so he probably has to trouble Xi Yan to clean them up.

"What's the trouble, I'll ask someone to help you put the pot on tomorrow." Xi Yanqing felt that this was a trivial matter, getting two pots and going there every day to light a fire, what kind of trouble is this?One must know that he knew Chinese characters originally because of Jing Rong's teaching.At that time, there was no pinyin, but word by word was passed down orally. What is burning fire every day compared with that patience?

"Then do you want to get some furniture?" Luo Fei asked again.

"There is really nothing in the house right now, but there will be a lot of money in the future, so I don't plan to rush to get furniture. Go back and get two quilts, and then repair the roof." Jing Rong said, "If tomorrow Good day, I plan to leave tomorrow. After I go back, I still need Luo Yong to take care of some things, so I won't let him come back first. Brother Xi, Brother Qi, if you have anything to do, please contact me by letter. ?”

"Success." Xi Yanqing readily agreed.

The next day, Luo Fei got up to help get some food, and Jing Rong took the food on the road.Xi Yanqing found a fine day and drove an ox cart to the town with Han Yang and Luo Ji.With the help of the two brothers, he bought a new batch of milk and brought back two large pots for Jing Rong's new home. Afterwards, the fire was also lit, and green smoke billowed from the chimney.

A few young men took advantage of the good weather and took some straw to repair the roof again, at least to prevent it from entering the wind.After finishing it, Xi Yanqing sent a letter to Jing Rong, telling Jing Rong that the progress was going well, and sent some freshly frozen ice cream to Shi Shi's house along the way.

There are roughly three types of ice cream made this time, a fruit popsicle made with dried fruit soaked in water and sugar, a pure milk bar, and milk egg yolk ice cream.Milk and egg yolk ice cream is made with condensed milk, egg yolk and sugar—Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei don’t know whether it’s condensed milk or not. Anyway, they don’t know what to call it after making the milk thick, so they simply call it “condensed milk.” up".The egg yolk has been beaten for a long time, so the taste of the ice cream is much better than before.Although there is still a feeling of ice stubble when eating, it is also thin.

It's just that the cost is high again, the cost of this ice cream is close to five cents.

"Then you can sell this kind of money for ten renminbi." After tasting it, Shi Shi felt that the taste was quite special, so he suggested, "Although our Songlin Town is not very big, there are also a lot of rich people in the town. Ten renminbi It’s not cheap to say that it’s cheap, but it’s definitely not too expensive.” For a person who has to spend a few taels of silver a day, is ten pennies still a big deal?And even if there are not many people who spend a few taels of silver a day, there are not a few people in this town who spend tens of hundreds of coins a day, "Brother Xi, you can get some more later, a friend of mine opened a shop on Zheng'an Street." There are several restaurants, and they can be sold together in the restaurants. In this year and month, who doesn’t want to make something new, and besides, it’s almost the Chinese New Year, and everyone will have some spare money in their hands.”

"Then thank you, Brother Shi. You don't have to sell it at first, you can also make it into small pieces for customers to try. It's not too late to buy it after eating it." Xi Yanqing has never sold food but knows to try it benefit.

"It will be easier if you have this idea." Shi Shi asked Li Siyuan to count, and then told Li Siyuan that he will be responsible for this matter in the future.

It was only later that Xi Yanqing found out that Shi Shi's family has such a solid foundation, and the ice cream business with him was just to find something for Li Siyuan to do, because Li Siyuan felt that it would be difficult and boring to only have children at home, but he didn't know what to do.It just so happens that Li Siyuan, who makes ice cream, only needs to be in charge of contacting the upper and lower families, so he treats it as free time to earn some pocket money.

Of course, at this time, they didn't expect that the ice cream would be so popular in the later stage.

Maybe it's because people are prone to get angry in dry winter?Seeing the ice cream and thinking of the cool feeling, it seems that I am not so resistant.

For the ice cream made by Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei, the flower-shaped ice cream is made of dried blueberries and raspberries soaked in water and added with sugar jelly, while the heart-shaped ice cream is made of pure milk, and the claw-shaped ice cream is milk egg yolk Ice cream.The ones for the sun and the stars were thought up by Luo Feihou. He used caramel to draw eyes, mouths and a few hairs on the semi-frozen round ice cream. It looks so cute.

"How many in total?" Xi Yanqing asked.After doing so many experiments before, this is the first official shipment.There are a total of sixty ice cream molds. After the ice cream is frozen, pour out a batch before making another batch. Fortunately, Chen Huazhang helped make a slot-type ice cream board. After the frozen ice cream is put away, cover it with a cloth, which is clean and fresh tidy.

"A total of 150 four." Luo Fei counted twice, and took a pen and paper to record it.He carefully wrote down the date, quantity, and cost of the first batch of shipments.The previous experimental products are not counted. Anyway, the cost of the first batch is about 330 ren.

"I'll go to town in a while, do you have anything to eat? I'll bring it back for you by the way." Xi Yanqing said.

"I want to eat sesame candies, and you can help me bring some embroidery materials back?" To make this ice cream Luo Fei, just order a small person to count, light the fire, boil the milk and beat the eggs, and order the moulds. It's all Xi Yanqing, Luo Fei can just watch, so he still plans to embroider things.In case the ice cream loses money, can't I get it back?

"The embroidery I brought you last time is finished?" Xi Yanqing smiled maliciously.

"The embroidery is finished." Luo Fei said without blushing, "You just sent it back today."

"Real or fake?" Xi Yanqing was really surprised, "When was it embroidered?" Why didn't he know!

"When you're not at home." Luo Feixin said frankly, you have to be sneaky to embroider flowers, but fortunately, I have strong determination!And the funny thing is, maybe you are afraid of being discovered when you embroider, so you will feel a sense of urgency invisibly, and you can embroider much faster than before.

Luo Fei gave the wrapped things together with the pattern to Xi Yanqing, and Xi Yanqing took a look, it's really... I can't accept it!Such a difficult thing was actually embroidered, and it was embroidered so well.The people on the cloth are vivid, and even their expressions are very similar to those on the painting!

There was admiration in Xi Yanqing's eyes: "It's amazing, daughter-in-law."

Luo Fei raised his chin arrogantly: "Hmph!"

Xi Yanqing hugged Luo Fei's shoulders: "Then can you tell me what was going through your mind when you embroidered this?"

Luo Fei hooked his fingers to signal Xi Yanqing to come over, and then whispered something to him.

Xi Yanqing's breathing became unsteady when he heard it, and when he looked at Luo Fei, his eyes were so dark that he wanted to swallow Luo Fei alive.

Luo Fei smiled and patted Xi Yanqing's chest: "Go ahead, this time I'll pick the one with the most money."

Xi Yan said in a clear heart that no matter how much money you give, you can't take it!This is simply making him suffer!Sure enough, was it me who trained my daughter-in-law to go too far?

Spread ice cream on that something and help him bite...

Xi Yanqing was so dizzy from driving the ox cart all the way, he didn't know where he was going.

However, the busy time has not been in vain, these ice creams were sold in the restaurant opened by the dim sum shop and Shi Shi's friend, and they were all sold out in less than three days.This first batch deducted the cost of 330 wen, and the share for Li Siyuan and the other two bosses, and finally made about 150 wen, and there was another batch of orders.

150 Wen for three days, an average of [-] Wen a day, and more than one or two taels of silver in a month.It is impossible to become rich, but earning living expenses is not a problem at all.And after the market opens up in the future, it is impossible to just sell this point.

Luo Fei was even more powerful. After taking his embroidery back, Xi Yanqing directly took back four taels of silver. Finally, he didn't need to touch the money buried in the soil. The young couple began to live a petty bourgeois life again, and decided to work hard. Save money to build a new house in spring!

After entering the twelfth lunar month, the sky becomes even colder, and sometimes a snowfall can last a whole day.

Since starting to make ice cream, Xi Yanqing and Luo Fei have a stable arrangement again.Every day, Xi Yanqing is responsible for cleaning the yard, carrying water, chopping firewood, and making ice cream, while Luo Fei is responsible for cooking, embroidery, and calligraphy.

Luo Fei has already memorized a lot of characters. Because of the pinyin, the progress is much faster, faster than those in the school. Although he can't write some characters, he can recognize a lot of them.

What Xi Yanqing brought to Luo Fei this time was not cheating work, it was all embroidery, flowers, birds and so on.Luo Fei was embroidering birds, and Xi Yanqing called him outside: "Er Bao, come out!"

Luo Fei put down the needle and thread in his hand: "What are you doing?"

It was too cold and the sun was nice but he didn't want to go out either.

Xi Yanqing shouted again: "Come out and have a look!"

Luo Fei went out to take a look, and Xi Yanqing actually built two snowmen!

Xi Yanqing pointed to the two snowmen holding hands: "Look, does it look like you and me?"

Luo Fei said, "Like." Then with a smirk, he took a thick wooden stick and stuck it in front of the big snowman: "It's more like this."

Xi Yanqing poked Luo Fei's nose: "Naughty."

After speaking, I took a lot of small wooden sticks and placed a chrysanthemum behind the little snowman.

Luo Fei: Which one of us is naughty!

The next day, Xi Yanqing went to town with two big ice cream plates.If it is said that what Luo Fei earns is technical money that costs his eyes and neck, then Xi Yanqing can be said to be hard-earned money.

The north in the twelfth lunar month is really cold. There is no thermometer, but Xi Yanqing feels that it must be minus [-] degrees and must not run away.Simply put, this effort paid off, and now the ice cream in Pine Forest Town can sell [-] sticks a day.In addition to dim sum shops and restaurants, Shi Shi and Li Siyuan actually gave this thing to Amway to the brothel...

I don't know whether to say that the two have a lot of friends or are very popular, but anyway, the sales volume of ice cream is stable at about [-] a day.

Now Li Siyuan started to think about getting the ice cream to sell in other towns.The sales here are good, so at least it can show that ice cream is not low in popularity, and it will definitely be sold in other places.

"Brother Xi, if this thing is kept frozen like this, how long can it be stored?" Li Siyuan asked.

"As long as it's kept frozen, it shouldn't be a problem to keep it for a month." Xi Yanqing estimated that it should be sold for another two to three months.

"That's it, next time you will send five hundred more. I have a friend in Hengyang Town, and I will ask him to sell it." Li Siyuan said, "Hengyang Town has a larger population than ours. If it can be sold, the business will be good in the future.”

"No problem. I don't have a lot of contacts like Brother Shi and Brother Li. I will trouble you a lot on the way of sales, and I will do the rest as much as possible." Xi Yanqing said, "Did Brother Shi's friend reply?" Yan Qing really didn't expect to make too much money with ice cream, it was only because she didn't want to sit and eat mountains during the winter, if she wanted to make more money, she still had to see if she could make ice in summer.If you can, then you will really make money.

"There is a reply. My friend will arrive in Pine Forest Town in about three days." Shi Shi is also looking forward to the ice making in summer.

"Father, Daddy!" Xiao Changle's voice came from outside at this moment, "Is Uncle Xi here?!"

"Yes, are you happy now?" Li Siyuan smiled, "I was thinking about that villain ice cream two days ago, but I was looking forward to you."

"Little Chang Le, you're getting fat again." Xi Yanqing pinched Chang Le's little face, "Are you missing Uncle or the ice cream that Uncle brought?"

"I want them all!" Xiao Changle said, "I still miss Uncle Luo Fei. Why didn't Uncle Luo Fei come?"

"Uncle Luo Fei is inconvenient now, and he misses you very much."

"Why is it inconvenient?"

"Uncle Luo Fei is going to give birth to a younger brother or younger sister, so it's inconvenient." Li Siyuan said, "I'll take you to see him when I have time, okay?"

"Okay, it's a deal!" Xiao Chang Le stretched out her hand after speaking, and looked at Li Siyuan eagerly.

"Okay, don't look at Dad like that, I can't beat you." Li Siyuan pinched his son's little nose, "Go to the butler grandpa and ask him to bring you a villain ice cream."

"Thank you dad!" Xiao Changle ran away, not forgetting to say, "Uncle Xi is eating at my house at noon!"

I have to say that the saying "There is no need to worry about growing if there are seedlings" is quite reasonable.It was still summer when I first met Xiao Changle, and in just two seasons, the child has grown a lot taller and speaks much more fluently than then.

Suddenly, I looked forward to the little life in Luo Fei's stomach even more.

Xi Yanqing thought of Luo Fei, didn't eat at Shifu, bought what Luo Fei wanted to eat, and hurried back to Huaping Village, and at this time Jingrong finally sold the house and land to the local rich man , was about to rush to Huaping Village with Luo Yong, who was about to suffocate.
