Chapter 202 Going to Beijing for a Banquet
After all the dough they had brought was used up, it was only just after noon. It seemed that they were still under-prepared. They would need to go back in the evening and make more bowls of noodles.
When the father and son came back in the evening, Miao told Xu Laowu about selling rice cakes today, and asked Xu Laowu, "Dad, how much do you think the three of us earned today?"
Xu Laowu didn't know how much she earned, but looking at her like this, it was obvious that she was earning a lot, so he took a guess, "A thousand cash?" That was what the father and son could earn after working for more than half a month.

Miao curled her lips and said, "Guess too much."
Xu Laowu's eyes widened in surprise, "Two thousand yuan?"
"Guess again!"
"It won't be three thousand yuan, right?"
Miao nodded slightly. Xu Laowu thought he had guessed it right. He was about to say, "Why so much?" when Miao said: "It's more than 3,800 yuan. This is what we earned after paying for it. Only
It's a pity that I didn't prepare enough today, so I won't be able to sell it at noon. If I prepare twice as much noodles and sell them until the evening, I estimate that I can earn tens of thousands of yuan."
Xu Laowu was really not calm this time, "Mom, prepare more tonight. My son and I will go out with you tomorrow. We will learn how to do it by then, and we will do it together."
Mrs. Miao nodded with satisfaction, "That's what I thought! This time it's really thanks to the third daughter-in-law. If she and Princess Qingping hadn't been handkerchiefs, Princess Qingping wouldn't have given us such a profitable business.
."
Xu Laowu also nodded, "You must treat your third daughter-in-law better in the future, and don't let Princess Qingping pick on us."
"What do you have to say? From now on, I will treat my third daughter-in-law as my ancestor."
Almost the same conversation took place in the rooms of the other two sons. Although most of the income went to Miao, Miao also knew that if he wanted the horse to run fast, he had to feed the horse enough grass. Three thousand eight hundred
Duowen, she took away 3,000 Wen and divided the remaining 800 Wen equally between her two daughters-in-law.
They even said that they would buy some things and go back to their parents' house when they had some free time. As long as they didn't teach their parents how to fill cakes and compete with their own family for business, they could spend the money they wanted to spend as they wanted.
This is almost equivalent to one month's salary of their men, which makes them feel that they have hope in life, and they all want to work harder in the future.
The busy farming season is over and the Xu family has settled down. Xu Hongda can study in Hedong Village with peace of mind.
In addition to the farm work in the village, the farm work in the expanded Qingping County was also under the control of Lin Xiaoman. In addition to directing everyone to farm in Hedong Village in the first few days, Lin Xiaoman later waited for all the wasteland that could be opened elsewhere.
Spin around like a top.
Lu Jin naturally accompanied him by his side.
Most of the former Wuzhou Prefecture is now included in Qingping County. Wuzhou Prefecture does not dare to extend its hands to the territory under Lu Jin's jurisdiction. Excluding Qingping County, the territory it can manage is less than half of Qingping County. Although it is still hanging
The title and power of the prefect have been greatly deprived.
But he didn't even dare to say a word of dissatisfaction. He even had to beg Lin Xiaoman so that he could grow new crops on the little land under his control.
Lin Xiaoman's dissatisfaction with him had long been relieved when he accompanied Lin Erhu to Fucheng for the exam. Anyway, it was a good thing for the people and did not embarrass him.
The busy farming season here has not ended yet, and Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu received another imperial edict from the capital.
This time it was not an imperial edict to award a reward, but to allow Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu to come to Beijing. May 28th was the Queen's 50th birthday, and there would be a banquet for all the virtuous and famous women in the world. Lin Xiaoman was honored for his meritorious service.
The sealed princess is here.
Looking at the time, there are still more than two months before May 28th, so it is quite late to set off at this time, but it is such a long distance, and the siblings have never been that far away, so they are still a little worried.
Fortunately, the siblings felt relieved when they heard that Lu Jin would also go with them.
In the next few days, while continuing to work on the farm and making preparations to go to Beijing, the siblings discussed behind closed doors for a long time, and finally decided to get a larger carriage, bring the wardrobe with them, and go there to see other cities on the way.
The appearance of future generations.
After hearing the size of the carriage that the siblings wanted, Lu Jin quickly had the carriage ready. Lin Xiaoman moved the wardrobe into the carriage at night, and it worked well for a try. It was at the height of the carriage, where to go
Jump down.
Before going out, Lin Xiaoman prepared all the sauces that needed to be used, so that when she was not at home, all the transactions that needed the ingredients would have to be stopped.
A large number of things that may be used are stored in the warehouse, and the key is given to Aunt Qi. In case of need, she will go to Modern Times through the wardrobe in the capital, find a place to stay there, and ask Aunt Qi to help express it.
OK.
However, the high-speed train and plane there are so fast, she can go back and forth in one day, so it’s not impossible to come back by herself.
I also applied a lot of nourishing cream from Xu Yuanru, so I wasn’t afraid that Meng Meng’s would be out of stock during her absence.
Shopkeeper Feng also left him a large amount of clam oil, cream and balm. However, as the weather gradually got hotter, the clam oil business was getting worse, the cream business was average, but the balm business was getting better and better.
Small pieces of soap are also selling better and better.
On March 20th, Lu Jin set off with a team of people. The carriage the two siblings were riding in was caught in the middle of the team. Also returning was Eunuch Fang, who came to deliver the order.
Along the way, the father-in-law was telling the siblings some anecdotes about the capital and some things they needed to pay attention to. As for the etiquette, there was no need to worry. When they arrived in the capital, Grandma Jin would personally teach them.
When their parents were here, the siblings often went out with them, but this was the first time they walked such a long distance. In the first few days, the car curtains were open, and the siblings would lean on the car window and look out, but after walking for a long time,
I feel a little weak and have no intention of looking at the scenery.
On the other hand, Lu Jin would always ask them to come out and look at the beautiful scenery, but the two siblings were too lazy to hold open the car window to look at it.
After walking for three days, we finally left the territory of Wuzhou Prefecture. On the way, we met Qian, the wife of Cui Zhifu, the prefect of Wuzhou Prefecture, and her two daughters, who had also received the imperial edict.
Qian was actually waiting here for Lu Jin and his entourage. Before she came, Magistrate Cui had asked her to try her best to please Lin Xiaoman, so that if he was unable to secure his position as an official in the future, Lin Xiaoman could put in a good word for him.
Better than him making great contributions.
Mrs. Qian was also appointed. She was just the daughter of a merchant family in Qingping County. She was able to marry Magistrate Cui as a second marriage because of her beauty.
In recent years, the ladies have often been ridiculed by others because of their background. Previously, her younger brother was sent to mine by Lu Jin, which made her lose a lot of face.
But even if it wasn't for the sake of Magistrate Cui's future, she also wanted Lin Xiaoman to say a few good words to get Lu Jin to release her brother.
Her two daughters were not born to her, but to her deceased first wife. It was Mrs. Cui who came to Beijing this time because she was afraid that she would treat her two granddaughters harshly, so she asked her to bring them to Beijing to find a good marriage partner.
