The shop is short of manpower, and it has been busy making tofu these days. The glutinous rice and rice bought have been soaked, and then ground again after soaking.

When it was the first day to go to Peach Blossom Spring, the carriage hired by the shopkeeper came to the shop early to call them.

"Shopkeeper, I'm sorry to bother you!" Chen Chunhua and Lao San loaded up the carriage with their belongings. The shopkeeper looked at him and quickly helped him, saying, "It's nothing to trouble you. If you say it's troublesome, I'd like to thank you."

You, those glutinous rice ribs you prepared, business is good these days, and more people are eating it!"

After hearing this, Chen Chunhua smiled and said, "This is not entirely my fault. It must be the shopkeeper. This is a time-honored brand. How can you do it with just a few dishes?"

The shopkeeper just smiled and didn't say anything else. As a businessman, he naturally knows the ropes here. If the owner of this tofu shop also opened a restaurant, it would be difficult to say!

As we often think, things don't happen like this. Chen Chunhua has never considered opening a restaurant. Firstly, the money is not enough. Secondly, opening a restaurant is indeed very tiring. Moreover, she doesn't like this!

The three of them got on the carriage. Sitting in the carriage seemed a little small. Qiu Ju opened the curtains of the carriage and looked outside. "This carriage is really good. It is much faster than an ox-cart!" Qiu Ju rarely rides in a carriage.

, the first time I took a carriage, I followed Erzhu to pick up the busy work, so I hired it because I was in a hurry.

"That's natural. Although the horse and the cow are both animals, their functions are played in different places!" Chen Chunhua thought of the bullock cart and couldn't help but sigh. In modern times, the cows are used for plowing the land. With the discovery of society.

Gradually, cattle were no longer needed for farming, and the cattle became delicacies on the table.

"Oh? I don't know what to say, girl?" After hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Chen Chunhua, wanting to hear what she had to say.

Chen Chunhua smiled and shook her head and said, "What can I say? It's just that the cow has a big body and a strong body and the horse has a strong body!" You can't use the modern style, right? Speaking of this cow, Chen Chunhua suddenly said

She thought of rice. "Why don't we grow rice here?" Although this place belongs to the north, it is not completely. It is not droughty, and even though it is cold, it is similar to her hometown. I really don't know this.

"Sister-in-law, why do you ask this?" Qiu Ju laughed after listening to Chen Chunhua's words. "This is a nonsense. Why don't we grow rice? The harvest of this rice is not good for us, and my parents' family has

After one year of planting, the harvest from one acre of land was less than 200 kilograms, or I had to plant several acres of potatoes and melons. The food received that year was not enough!"

An acre of land weighing less than 200 kilograms is indeed too little. I remember harvesting rice in my grandpa’s field. A good acre of land can weigh a thousand kilograms, and an acre of less than 1,000 kilograms can weigh more than 100 kilograms. Of course, the difference lies in the fertilizer.

"Paying food? Why didn't I know that I needed to pay food?" The original owner didn't have the memory of paying food, but I heard it once today.

The third child looked at his wife and said, "We also collected grain before the autumn harvest last year, but you didn't come here yet and collected three hundred kilograms of corn!"

"Three hundred pounds?"

"That's okay. In the past two years, the grain payment was calculated based on the population of each household. One person was counted as one hundred catties. If there were many people in the house, it would be a big loss. If there is a drought,

, God it’s not raining, I don’t have enough to eat, how can I get food to pay for it!”

Chen Chunhua didn't say anything after hearing this. There were still many things she didn't know about, but she should try this kind of rice. Plowing, sowing, transplanting and harvesting were all things she knew how to do since she was a child. She still remembered when she was a child.

The first time she went to the fields was when she was seven years old. When Sister Chen returned to her grandpa's house to do some spring work, she was asked to pull rice seedlings. At first she thought it was strangely fun, but when she grew up she never wanted to work in the fields again.

It was a quick horse-drawn ride to the county seat, and we entered the city in more than half an hour. She saw two big characters written on the city gate, but she didn't recognize them. "Shopkeeper, I don't recognize these characters, what are they called?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the top of the city gate and said, "What is written on the city gate is the word "people". Our county is also called the city of common people!"

"People's City?" Chen Chunhua was a little confused.

"There are hundreds of surnames in our county. I heard that the previous generation this city was not called Baixingcheng. I forgot what it was called. It was changed later!"

"So that's it!"

When the carriage entered the city, the shopkeeper said something to the driver. After a while, the carriage stopped and said, "The coachman is taking you to Peach Blossom Land. I have other things to do in Peach Blossom Land.

I know the owner of a shop over there, and I’ve said hello beforehand, so you just go!”

"Oh, thank you so much, shopkeeper!"

"You're welcome. You should go quickly. There aren't many people here right now. It will be even more lively tomorrow!"

It was Chen Chunhua's first time to come to the county town. The city was very different from the town. She saw people coming and going on the street, and there were many hawkers selling things. Qiu Ju saw one from time to time, so she patted Chen Chunhua and asked her to come with her.

Take a look.

"Sister-in-law, what is that? It looks delicious!" Qiu Ju stood up suddenly as she spoke, and her head hit the roof of the carriage with a bang. Chen Chunhua pulled her to sit down and rubbed her

She hit the painful spot and said, "Qiu Ju, what are you doing? Wait until you finish your work over there and then come out for a nice stroll!"

Qiu Ju's painful eyes welled up with tears. She nodded with tears in her eyes and grinned. "Sister-in-law, you are so kind!"

Chen Chunhua shook her head helplessly. She was not nice to others for no reason. You treat this person the same way she treats you!

The shop the shopkeeper mentioned was a shop for buying fabrics. He got off the carriage and stood at the door to take a look. He saw a middle-aged man standing inside the shop. The man looked up and looked outside the shop.

He walked out with the account book in his hand and said, "Let's go into the shop and have a look. We bought a lot of new goods yesterday, and the prices are not expensive!"

"Hello, shopkeeper, do you recognize the shopkeeper of Fengxiang Restaurant?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he said, "I know, I know. Could it be that you are the person he mentioned, named...Chen Chunhua?"

"Yes, I am Chen Chunhua!"

"Oh, that's it. I heard a lot from the shopkeeper of Fengxiang Restaurant. I've also tidied up the yard behind my shop for you. Feel free to use the yard. If you need anything else, just tell me.

!”

Chen Chunhua nodded and said, "Thank you so much, shopkeeper!"

"Okay, then you all come with me!" After saying that, he led Chen Chunhua and Qiu Ju into the yard. The third child unloaded the belongings from the carriage, and the groom drove away without saying anything.

The yard is not small, not much bigger than her shop. On the way here, the shopkeeper told her that renting this shop for three to four days would cost one or two silver coins, but she didn't expect it at first.

There will be free land for her to use. She is not the only vendor doing business in this peach blossom garden. There are many people who want to rent land. She doesn't know if it is more expensive than this. It must be the shopkeeper.

I won’t fool her!

"I'm sorry to bother you, I gave you this money first. I'm afraid I might have forgotten it later!" Chen Chunhua said, taking out a couple of silver coins and handing them to the shopkeeper.

"Okay, you guys have a good rest. The door over there can be opened. If you go out, just go over there. You'll be on the street when you go out!" The shopkeeper collected the money and went to the shop in front to do some work.

Chen Chunhua looked at the three rooms one by one and said, "Qiu Ju, you can live in the side room. My third brother and I will live in this one. What kind of stuff is there in that small room?"

Qiu Ju said nothing, nodded, and entered the room with her belongings.

The third child also moved things in and said, "Daughter-in-law, can we get started tonight?"

"Hey, don't panic. Get everything ready and put it away. We'll go out and take a look later!" I just saw a lot of food selling on the street, such as fried pancakes, steamed buns, sesame seed pancakes, etc. It's so lively.

The shopkeeper said that no business can be done next to the peach garden. If anyone is seen, they will be kicked out. This businessman just came here to take advantage of the excitement. Since everyone can't go over there, there is nothing to eat.

, naturally came this way.

She looked at the area at the entrance of the fabric shop. It was a good place for business in the front, and it was also an area where people came and went.

It was already past noon when the work was done. There was room for cooking, but he was too lazy to start working. He said, "Let's go out for a walk and buy something to fill our stomachs!"

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Ju was naturally the happiest person. She quickly went into the house and took a face towel, wet it and wiped her face, and said, "Let's walk!"

After walking out the back door, you will find a street. After closing the door, you will walk forward. After walking for a while, you will see the vendors hawking.

"Baozi, freshly baked buns, two cents each!"

"The rouge has just arrived. Girl, would you like a box? I see how many times you have come here. I will give you a real price today..."

As the three of them walked along, what Chen Chunhua paid most attention to was the price of the food. The buns in town cost a penny each, but here they cost two cents. After walking for a while, some were selling for three cents.

"Sister-in-law, look at this, it's so pretty!" Qiu Ju walked to a stall, touched the hanging handkerchief, and said, "Boss, how much does this cost?"

"Girl, you are discerning. This is a newly acquired style, and it is made of silk fabric. It is cheaper for you, fifty cents!"

When Qiu Ju heard this, she quickly let go and said, "This is too expensive. I bought one last time for only five cents!"

After hearing this, the vendor's face immediately softened and he said, "Girl, what you said is not nice. This is a comparison. You can tell by touching the material that it is different. How can we compare!"

Chen Chunhua didn't know how to needle and thread, so she looked at the pink handkerchief with peonies embroidered on it.

Qiu Ju was not very happy either, and pulled Chen Chunhua forward, muttering, "What a piece of shit, it's so expensive!"

Chen Chunhua patted Qiu Ju's hand and said, "Speak softly, this man is doing business. If you tell others that someone overhears him, he might say something about you!"

Qiu Ju was stunned and turned to look at the stall selling handkerchiefs. She saw the angry look on the vendor's face. Seeing this, she lowered her voice and said, "I won't say anything anymore!"

Seeing her like this, Chen Chunhua smiled and said, "In front of this person, no matter how good the goods are, you can't tell them in front of him. It's easy to annoy people. If the goods are bad, we just won't buy them!"

"Yes, my sister-in-law is right!"

Then the three of them sat in front of a noodle stall, and each ordered a bowl of chopped green onion noodles. They all tasted the same, and cost five cents for a bowl. They ate the noodles, walked around for a while, and then went back to the shop. (Unfinished)
