Chongxi husband and wife who are sick

Chapter 82 Beating and fetching furniture

"Boss, this is the account book collected from various places this month. The income of the hot pot restaurant is 3000 taels, plus last month's 500 taels. After deducting the cost, the total profit in the past two months is more than [-] taels."

"How much does each of the five restaurants earn?"

"The restaurant in Zhoucheng earned 800 taels, and the other four county towns each earned more than 800 taels, which is about the same as our estimate. Because it just opened last month, the reputation has not yet been spread, plus The weather was not so cold last night, eating hot pot is very hot, and the income is less.”

"Well, winter is coming, and when spring begins, the middle months should be able to maintain this month's income."

This is a study in the back hall of an exquisite restaurant. There are two men in it, one young and one middle-aged.

"Take two thousand taels and 200 taels of silver bills, and 50 taels of silver to the two bosses, Feng Heng and Si Yun. At the same time, make a copy of the account book and send it to someone. In addition, find someone to look after those peppers. There was a slight slip."

The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes!"

After speaking, he left the study.

Here is the headquarters of Cuiyuntang and Ludilou. The young man is the owner behind Ludilou and Cuiyuntang. He is the son of the Cui family in the capital.

In order to work hard, he left the capital and came to Hongzhou, where he opened restaurants and gambling houses. It was not smooth at first, but then he developed slowly, and there were branches in the counties below Hongzhou.

He made a lot of money almost every day, but it was still not enough. Mr. Cui's father and brother were all upright officials, and they only had that little salary for a month. They lived in poverty. To support a big family, Mr. Cui did not do enough.

During the development, he was also looking for any new business to do, and he also asked the people below to pay attention. Finally, a completely different food appeared. The business instinct told him that it could make money, and it turned out to be the case.

Greenland Building has opened branches in six counties including Qingshan County, and five counties sell hot pot at the same time. The business of five hot pot restaurants has a net profit of at least nearly 200 taels in January.

In the current two months, Hongzhou city earns the most. On average, it can earn nearly 1000 taels a month, and the other four counties earn nearly 400 taels. On weekdays, it would be good to earn more than 200 taels a month in counties. Some counties have poor economic conditions. Well, it's not 200 taels, but with hot pot, the income has doubled.

The guests in Zhoucheng are rich, but their consumption is also high. The rent of the hotel, the money for buying vegetables, and the cost have skyrocketed. In the past, a net profit of five or six hundred a month was not bad, but now, hot pot alone can Earning nearly 1000 taels, in the promotion of peppers, before this winter and next spring, they can make a good fortune, and then they can have a good New Year's Day at the end of the year.

……

"Feng Heng, have Aunt Zhou and the others come back?" Si Yun came back from the villa, he just went to Fourth Aunt He to get the quilt they ordered.

He ordered a total of two beds of cotton wool, four quilt covers, and two cotton wool cushions. He didn't ask Aunt He to sew the quilt directly with the cotton wool. The cover, which is easy to remove and wash, also allows her to sew the cotton into several squares with thread, so that the cotton inside will not move around.Fourth Aunt He was skillful, although it took a little more effort, she finally finished the quilt.

Of course, Si Yun did not treat Fourth Aunt He badly, and directly gave her one tael of silver for handwork, because things like quilts do not require much technical content, so the price of handwork is not high, and two qian a month is considered a lot. Well, the money Si Yun gave is definitely kind.

At the same time, he also took away the sets of clothes that Aunt He had made before, and then gave her the handwork fee. Aunt He refused to accept it, but Si Yun gave it anyway. The quilt is for quilts, and the clothes are for clothes. A yard counts.

Then he directly pulled the things to the villa in a carriage, found a clean room to store them, and then returned home.

When he went back, he saw that Feng Heng was still in the yard, instead of going to Aunt Zhou's house.

Feng Heng is weaving wicker baskets. He learned it while chatting with the workers a few days ago. Originally, this skill should be taught by old man Feng, but let alone teach him, old man Feng didn't even give him enough food, he said Once we weave wicker baskets, we don’t need to go to other people’s houses to buy them.

Si Yun didn't care, but I have to say that the wicker basket Feng Heng wove is still pretty, like a handicraft.

Sitting next to Feng Heng, Si Yun stared at his movements, Feng Heng's movements were very smooth, his fingers were hooked left and right, and he wove a long one in a short while.

It was the end of autumn at this time, the willow tree had already turned yellow, and the leaves were almost fallen. The willow branches turned yellow, and only a small part was still green.

"Feng Heng, if you poked out this wicker, the willow tree will be bald next spring, how should you be responsible." Si Yun teased Feng Heng, "Becoming a bald man is so ugly."

Feng Heng raised his eyebrows and joked, "It's okay, he will grow back next spring, and he will definitely not be bald."

"Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou haven't come back yet. It seems that they should be more satisfied with the girl over there. They should come back late today. I'll go tomorrow." Feng Heng smiled and answered Si Yun's previous question.

Si Yun held his chin, "Hey, I didn't say it. In fact, Xiao Zhuang is not good, but it doesn't mean that he can't get a wife. After all, the conditions are worse than him. Those people work harder and get a wife. Let me say In order to find a good wife to cure Xiao Zhuang, it is better to find a wife who Xiao Zhuang likes and also likes Xiao Zhuang."

"Ayun, what you said is correct." Feng Heng said, "But I can understand Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou's approach and thinking."

He stopped, his gentle eyes became deep, and fixedly stared at Si Yun, "Because if you accidentally become a fool, but I have the conditions to cure you, and I will try my best to cure you. Even if it doesn’t recover completely, as long as it recovers a little. If this doctor can’t do it, then replace it with another one, and if the other one can’t do it, then replace it with another one.”

One after another, as long as there is a little hope, they don't want to give up until he can no longer treat him.

Si Yun: ...

Si Yun's face became hot from Feng Heng's gaze, and he slapped him on the head, "Do your own thing. If that's the case, you will go to the city with me to see Hong Gong tomorrow."

Sure enough, Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou came back very late that day. At that time, Feng Heng and Si Yun had already gone to bed. When they got up the next day, they went to the city by car after breakfast.

Feng Si was fast, and quickly brought the two of them to the city. They went to the hot pot restaurant first, and Zhao Er and Shi Shi were busy.

"Good morning, big and small boss."

"You are also good." Si Yun inspected the store and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, there are still two months until New Year's Day, and the holiday will be early, so I will give you two big red envelopes. The two of you will be more tired in a month."

Zhao Er and Shi Shi were embarrassed to touch their heads, and responded loudly, "Okay!"

Si Yun touched Feng Heng, "Do you have anything to say?"

Feng Heng glanced at Si Yun, took a step forward, and said, "I have nothing to say, just one sentence, do what the little boss ordered, and don't let him down."

Si Yun: "..."

Zhao Er and Shi Shi: "Good!"

After all, he is the big boss!

Forget it, since Feng Heng is older than him, the big boss will be handed over to him.

At the same time, Aunt Zhou also learned from the neighbors that Feng Heng came to see them last night.

"Aunt Zhou, go to Feng Heng's house to have a look, maybe there is something important!"

After leaving the store, the two went to the teahouse, which was the same as last time, but this time without Song San, Hong Gong had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Si Yun and Feng Heng coming over, he quickly got up, "Two bosses, you coming."

"Sit." He said with a smile, pointing to the dim sum on the table and said to them: "I ordered two dim sum, you guys have a try."

Si Yun is here to discuss business this time, not to eat, but since the snacks are here, let's have some.After eating two mouthfuls and commenting, he said, "Hong Gong, I came to you this time to ask you if you can accept another business from us. Feng Heng and I are going to buy a small piece in Qingshan County. Can you take over this project to build a restaurant?"

Hong Gong was stunned, and he came back to his senses after a full three seconds. He hurriedly said: "I can take it! It's just that my engineering team can't afford it, so I have to find another one to do it together."

Then he couldn't wait to ask: "Bosses, what is your restaurant like? How many floors does it have, how big is the area, and how long will it take to complete? What's the budget?"

Si Yun and Feng Heng: "..."

The two of them were a bit dumbfounded, so they hurriedly told Hong Gong not to be so excited, and to calm down. After a few minutes, Hong Gong calmed down and they said: "We have already prepared the design drawing of the restaurant. There are three floors in total. If it occupies a lot of land... . . . on one floor, it would be about fifty feet long and thirty feet wide."

There is no difference in the measurement between the Chong Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. One foot is about 31 centimeters, 25 feet is nine meters, and fifty feet is about 15 meters. It covers an area of ​​more than 140 square meters, which is only as big as a three-bedroom suite.

The area is not too large, but considering the generally small buildings in ancient times, the area is already very large.Besides, the restaurant has three floors, which is enough for Qingshan County. After all, this is the county seat, not the prefectural city or the state city.

But even so, Hong Gong was startled when he heard it, but the next moment, he thought that the villa built by Si Yun and Feng Heng seemed to be quite big, so he swallowed hard and put his heart back in place.

He took a deep breath, took the design drawing from Si Yun and Feng Heng, and said, "Okay! Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow, I will bring people to Fengjia Village to find you. If it is okay, we will start working in half a month. .”

Si Yun and Feng Heng smiled and said, "Okay."

The three of them left the teahouse, Hong Gong watched Si Yun and Feng Heng go away, looked at the sky and let out a deep breath.

If this job is done, he will get at least a few dozen taels of money in his hand, which is the wages she only got after doing a few jobs in the past, and it would be good to earn this money in a year.

It seems that I have to go to the two brothers and let them put the work in hand temporarily, or hand it over to others.

Hong Gong's full name is Hong Quanli, and he is from Zhaojia Village. There are three brothers in his family, all of whom are good at work.The three of them got married early, had a wife and gave birth to a baby, but digging in the fields was not a problem after all, so the three brothers came out together, and later they really made a name for themselves.

There are more and more workers around the three brothers, but Qingshan County is so big, and there are too many people to take over the work, so everyone can't do it, so the three brothers do it separately, and each of the three will lead a group of people to do it. The eldest of the three brothers has about twenty people in his hands, the second brother Hong Quanfu and the third Hong Quanyun each have about ten people.

The three brothers add up to a total of forty men, and no matter what, they can take over this job!

Afterwards, Si Yun knew that the job was taken over by the three brothers, so he couldn't help sighing secretly: Is this the legendary family business?

……

Si Yun and Feng Heng went to the furniture store again before leaving the county seat and returning to Fengjia Village, it was already past noon.

The two of them bought two rougamo from Mr. Liu's and his three's house, as well as a few skewers and a few skewers in cold pot. They ate while driving the horses. It was very leisurely, and they didn't have to cook lunch when they went back.

When the carriage arrived at the door, they saw Aunt Zhou.

"Hengzi, Ayun." Aunt Zhou came over, and she asked with a smile, "You are back."

Si Yun and Feng Heng got off the car, led Aunt Zhou into the yard, and poured her a glass of water, "Auntie, have you been waiting here for a long time?"

"No, I just came here not long ago." Aunt Zhou said, "I heard from Aunt Wang that Hengzi went to our house yesterday. Is there something wrong?"

Si Yun pretended to suddenly realize, and said: "So it's because of this, Feng Heng, come here." Then he said to Aunt Zhou: "Auntie, I don't know about this matter, Feng Heng said it was a secret, so I can't tell others."

Si Yun's tone was mysterious, and Aunt Zhou's relaxed heart immediately tightened up.

"Well, since it's an important matter, then don't talk about it." Aunt Zhou said nervously, "Don't tell me, too. Hengzi told me this secret, will he have any trouble?"

"Ayun, go and tell Hengzi, stop talking, Auntie will leave now."

However, Feng Heng had already walked over, Si Yun smiled at Aunt Zhou, got up and left.

Although I really believed in Aunt Zhou, but after such a beating, no matter what Aunt Zhou heard from Feng Heng, I guess she would not get to the bottom of it. It seemed that Aunt Zhou was also very nervous about Feng Heng.

In order to show that he could not know the secret, Si Yun went directly into the house, leaving the space and time to Aunt Zhou.Si Yun didn't do nothing while staying in the room, he moved the stool to the wall, put his ear against the wall, and quietly eavesdropped on the conversation between the two of them outside.

Outside, Feng Heng had a serious face and a solemn expression, while Aunt Zhou was tense and looked nervous.

"Auntie, you can't tell anyone what I'm going to say next, otherwise no matter it's you or me, there will be trouble coming to your door." Feng Heng said, Aunt Zhou was so frightened that he told Feng Heng not to say anything, but Feng Heng continued: " In fact, next to that medical book, I got another medical book that has not been completed, and the medical book says to cure the head, but there is no guarantee that it can be cured, but Xiao Zhuang’s situation has a little effect.”

"Auntie, you know that the head disease has been difficult to cure, and even the officials outside don't know about it. If they know about the medical book, they will definitely come to grab it, and Xiao Zhuang, who is better by then, will definitely be killed. Take him away and see why he gets better and how much he gets better."

Aunt Zhou was completely speechless.

"You can bring Xiao Zhuang to me tomorrow, and let him come every morning and evening. Xiao Zhuang can only be treated here, and no one else will know. Auntie, you must remember, I want to help You helped Xiao Zhuang to take the risk, if other people find out, Xiao Zhuang will definitely be taken away, and you are just a child like Xiao Zhuang, you definitely don’t want anything to happen to him.”

Aunt Zhou froze in shock, she nodded numbly after a long time, and was escorted out by Feng Heng.

Leaving Feng's house, she learned that her son would be cured, but Aunt Zhou couldn't laugh anymore. If she had known...she let out a deep sigh of regret. If she had known, she wouldn't have wanted to make Xiao Zhuang better!

In the future, she must keep her mouth shut, as if she had never heard of this matter.

As soon as Aunt Zhou left, Si Yun came out. He poked Feng Heng on the shoulder and said, "You really scared Aunt Zhou this time."

He just made Aunt Zhou nervous and sounded the alarm for her, but with Feng Heng's move, he talked about the emotional trust between them and Zhou Xiaozhuang's danger, and he played both soft and hard. Aunt Zhou might be frightened up.

A flash of apology flashed across Feng Heng's eyes, then he hugged Si Yun and said sullenly, "Although I'm sorry for Aunt Zhou, I'd rather she be frightened than you are in danger."

"And if Xiao Zhuang recovers, Aunt Zhou will probably forget about it. Don't worry, Aunt Zhou has to do well for Xiao Zhuang's sake."

Of course Si Yun knew that Aunt Zhou would be fine, he was just a little surprised that Feng Heng would do this for him, his heart moved, he raised his head, kissed Feng Heng, and finally bit his lip before letting go.

He said to the astonished man, "Your reward."

That afternoon, Aunt Zhou sent Zhou Xiaozhuang here with trepidation. Compared with Aunt Zhou's nervousness, Zhou Xiaozhuang was very relaxed, ignorant and didn't know anything, and even smiled at them.

Si Yun and Feng Heng also laughed, and asked Zhou Xiaozhuang some questions and he replied, even talking about the blind date with the girl, so Si Yun and Feng Heng also knew why Aunt Zhou and the others came back so late last night .

It turned out that Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou fell in love with a girl, and that girl was very nice, gentle and polite.Zhou Xiaozhuang also liked her, and the family talked a lot there, and Zhou Xiaozhuang got along with that girl for a long time.

The parents of both parties are quite satisfied, it depends on whether the girl is satisfied or not, their family is young and strong.

Then it dragged here and there for a while, and it was afternoon.Aunt Zhou wanted to let Zhou Xiaozhuang show off, so she asked Zhou Xiaozhuang to make some stewed pork. The recipe was not theirs, but the taste was good. Then the two families drank some orange peel tea and drove back. it's too late.

"Mother said to go to their house next time, let me talk to Ling Ru more." Zhou Xiaozhuang said with a blushing face.

Si Yun and Feng Heng knew it well, they were attracted to it.

Then they gave Zhou Xiaozhuang an injection, and Feng Heng did it. He is an ancient man, he knows some acupuncture points, and he read a lot to treat Xiao Zhuang, and he was the one who rescued Xiao Zhuang at that time. It hurts him most clearly.

Ten minutes later, three silver needles were inserted into the back of Xiao Zhuang's head.

Half an hour later, the silver needle was removed.

Feng Heng and Si Yun asked him how he was feeling, Xiao Zhuang just touched his head and said, "Xiao Zhuang doesn't know."

Looks like there's more to come.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xiaozhuang came again, Feng Heng repeated his old trick and inserted a few silver needles into him.But Feng Heng and Si Yun didn't wait for the time to come this time, but went out and asked Xiao Zhuang to wait at home.

But Xiao Zhuang chased him out, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Feng Heng, sister-in-law Si Yun, where are you going?"

Si Yun replied: "Brother Feng Heng and I are going to the city to pull furniture back, Xiao Zhuang, can you stay at home obediently. Also, don't call me sister-in-law, your brother Feng Heng is the sister-in-law."

Zhou Xiaozhuang didn't understand: "But...but they all said that you are Brother Feng Heng's wife."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you." Si Yun was speechless, "Stay at home obediently."

Then Si Yun and Feng Heng took the carriage and left. They didn't go to the city this time to do anything else, but to bring back the furniture that had already been made. They went to see it yesterday, and the shopkeeper said that it hadn't been done yet. Well, it won't be fully done until tomorrow, so they pulled it today.

They ordered several pieces of furniture in the furniture shop, such as beds, wardrobes, boxes, desks, tables, benches, chairs, sofas, shoe racks, etc., and made everything needed in the villa.Except that the wardrobe is not a hanging type, everything else is exactly the same as the modern style. Thanks to the craftsmanship of the wood shop's master, these furniture can also be made.

In fact, those things are not what Si Yun is looking forward to the most. What he is looking forward to most is the sofa. The sofa he customized is a modern backrest type, and there is a bed to sleep in at night, but the sofa is the sofa that he contacts the most at home during the day.

In order to match this sofa, he specially asked Fourth Aunt He to make some pillows, and made sofa cushions with cotton wool, so that in winter, he could sit on the sofa with a quilt.

If possible, he would also like to make a few beanbags and hanging chairs, and put them on the balcony. It is definitely a good place for leisure!

In addition, because the quilt was full of cotton wool and the style of the villa, Si Yun was not willing to repair the heated kang in the villa in the end. If he really repaired it, it would be too nondescript.Therefore, his best choice for winter cat winter has changed from a kang to a sofa.

When they arrived in the city, they went directly to the furniture store. The shopkeeper was already waiting for them, and after paying the final payment, Si Yun and Feng Heng decided to take all the furniture back.

"Shopkeeper, you have guys and carts in your shop, right?" Si Yun asked.

The shopkeeper said: "Yes." He understood something, and said with a smile: "It can be rented, but the price for one trip is not cheap, but you are big customers, I will charge you half of the rent, what do you think?"

"make a deal."

With the help of the carpentry shop and their own carriage to pull the goods, Si Yun and Feng Heng pulled those things back in one trip.The masters of the carpentry shop are very skilled. They pile up all kinds of furniture and tie them with ropes. The horses pulling the goods have also changed from one horse to two. There are nearly two meters of furniture in the hands of those masters. After fiddling with it, it seemed a little more relaxed.

In short, no matter what, Si Yun and Feng Heng's furniture was pulled back. Many pieces of furniture were placed in the yard in front of their villa. The two looked at each other, tied up the bed and slowly pulled it up from the balcony. smile.

They can finally not live in that crappy house!

At this time, the man Cui Gongzi sent to deliver the money and account books was about to arrive at Fengjia Village.

The author has something to say: I am finally going to live in a new house, I am moved~~
