Chapter 29 Moving into a new home
Chapter 29: Moving in a new home
Han Huahua helped to point and move around Zheng Qing, as if she was looking like she was not as shy as she was in front of Chen Wanrong. The two women directed a group of men around. If Chen Wanrong hadn't personally seen him and said nothing, she wouldn't believe that the shy Han Huahua had such a huge change, she wouldn't know what method Zheng Qing used.
Zheng Qing found that Chen Wanrong was back and smiled and greeted her. Perhaps Han Huahua was born shy in front of Chen Wanrong. When she saw Chen Wanrong's face, she had lost her temper and became uneasy. Her eyebrows were down and she couldn't help rubbing the corners of her clothes. If Zheng Qing hadn't pulled her, she would have escaped as far as she could.
"Brother Chen, have you bought you enough? So many things." Zheng Qing made a joke.
Han Huahua whispered: "Cousin." She said nothing more.
Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "You are so exaggerating. You are only a little bit of stuff, and you haven't bought it all yet."
Even if you move a house, you have to buy a lot of things, let alone open a workshop. There are so many things you have to buy. Zheng Qing naturally understood this principle and smiled and said, "You have bought a lot of things this time, including rice, oil, lime, soda ash, and these tanks."
Looking at the busy Zheng family's clerk, Chen Wanrong felt very sorry and said, "They are busy with me, I'll invite you tonight."
Zheng Qing hurriedly refused: "Brother Chen, what you said is wrong. This is tidying up my old house."
"Is that also your old house?" Chen Wanrong asked, pointing at the guy who was carrying lime and the tank.
Zheng Qing suddenly stopped asking, stunned for a moment before chuckling: "They are idle and have nothing to do, please help."
"This matter is decided, I'll treat them tonight." Chen Wanrong was very sure.
Zheng Qing pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine, but don't have to go out, just make it here. The stove is ready and you can cook. I'll ask someone to call the chef." After calling a guy to give me a few instructions, the guy took the order and left.
She had arranged everything, so Chen Wanrong had to give up his original plan to go to the hotel to have a drink: "Okay, I'll buy some vegetables and some wine, and we'll start work by ourselves in the evening."
Zheng Qing was very familiar with Ning County and advised: "The vegetable market is far away from here, and the winery is close to here, so it is not on the same road."
She was hinting that Chen Wanrong would be better for separate purchases. Chen Wanrong didn't understand. She immediately called Chen Zairong and Xiao Shangrong, gave them money, and asked them to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
"Does Brother Chen buy wine? I'll go with you. I haven't been to Sunji Brewery for a long time, so I'll go for a walk." Zheng Qing looked at Zheng Chen Wanrong and introduced: "The wine in Sunji Brewery is the best in Ning County, and the price is cheap."
What else could Chen Wanrong say? Thank you, and left side by side with Zheng Qing and went straight to the winery.
I walked northeast after leaving the old house, but it arrived at a cup of tea. Sun Ji’s winery was not in the city, but outside the city. Chen Wanrong asked a little strangely: “The winery is not in the city, isn’t it very inconvenient to sell wine?”
Zheng Qing smiled and explained: "Brother Chen doesn't know that Sun Ji winery is the best winery in Ning County. He bought his wine as soon as it was brewed, so he didn't have to go to the city. Most of the wine sold in the wine shops and restaurants in the city are from here."
So that's how it was. Chen Wanrong suddenly realized. When he looked up, he saw people coming in and out of Sun Ji's winery. Her words should be true. When the two entered the winery, a strong smell of wine came. Chen Wanrong twitched his nose and praised: "Good wine!"
A short and fat middle-aged man walked quickly and came close to Zheng Qing to salute: "Sun Zhengping has met the eldest lady!" Zheng Qing is a child of a large family in Ning County, and many people know her.
Although Zheng Qing was born in a wealthy family, she did not have the arrogance of a wealthy family. She was blessed by the middle-aged man Yingying: "I have met Uncle Sun." She introduced to Chen Wanrong: "Brother Chen, this is Uncle Sun, the shopkeeper, and the big name is Zhengping."
As we all know, Zheng Qing's eyes are above the top, and there is nowhere to get close to anyone, let alone such an urgent introduction and so close to others. Sun Zhengping, who has been so so skilled in the world, naturally knows what this means, with a smile on his face and bows to Chen Wanrong: "I have met Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen is so beautiful, and he is here to visit the humble house. Sun Zhengping's supreme glory."
Chen Wanrong was born with mud legs, so where is Young Master Jia? This flattery was too much. Chen Wanrong smiled: "Shopkeeper Sun is too good, too good."
"Miss, Mr. Chen, please give tea in the house." Sun Zhengping's attitude was absolutely respectful enough, which made people unbearable to refuse.
Chen Wanrong had to do a lot of things and said with a smile: "I appreciate the kindness of Manager Sun. I am here to buy wine. Manager Sun, sell me a few jars of your wine."
Sun Zhengping would not refuse the deal, not to mention that Zheng Qing was there, so Sun Zhengping naturally agreed without any worries: "Cheng Chengcheng! Please have a cup of tea first and have a rest!"
"Shopkeeper, I'm busy, I'll leave after buying some wine." Chen Wanrong is now busy now, and he will fight every second, so he has no time to eat tea and rest.
Sun Zhengping thought that Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing were so close, they must have a great background. If they could not take good care of it, if Chen Wanrong causes trouble in the future, it would be a bad thing, so he hurriedly asked Zheng Qing for help: "Miss..."
Zheng Qing is smart, so she is Mingxiao’s thoughts and smiled and said, “Uncle Sun doesn’t know anything. Brother Chen is really busy. I’ll bother you another day.”
With her words, Sun Zhengping felt relieved. Chen Wanrong asked for two hundred kilograms of wine, and this time he couldn't finish drinking, and next time he moved, he might have to drink a lot of wine. Sun Zhengping hurriedly asked two friends to drive the car to deliver it to the old house.
When Chen Wanrong returned to his old house, the chefs of the Zheng Mansion also arrived. After a while, Chen Zairong and Xiao Shangrong came back to buy vegetables. Zheng Qing directed the servants of the Zheng Mansion to clean, cook, and were very busy.
Chen Wanrong was not idle either and directed the rest of the people to sort out. He was busy until dark and then stopped working. Naturally, he gathered around the table and raised his glass to celebrate. Chen Wanrong was generous and served with good wine and food. The servants of the Zheng family were also happy, and they felt that Chen Wanrong knew etiquette and was very helpful. If they were to change someone, they might not be able to eat such a sumptuous meal. Even if they wanted to thank him, they would be thankful to Zheng Qing, and they would not thank them, the least attention-oriented little people.
After dinner, Zheng Qing ordered her family to go back and continue to work tomorrow. The servants took the order and left on their own. Strangely, Zheng Qing did not leave, but took Han Huahua to occupy a "going room". She didn't know what the two of them were talking about. The lights were still on in the room until midnight.
After working hard for a day today, Chen Wanrong was so tired that he wanted to go to bed early, but Chen Zairong was very excited. He was lazy and didn't leave in the house, so he wanted to talk to Chen Wanrong to relieve his boredom. It was really not possible. Chen Wanrong threw down a sentence, "You have such a good spirit, get up early tomorrow to go and go out." He knocked Chen Zairong out and slept with his head covered.
Chen Zairong was pleased to accept the task, "Brother, who else can you do this besides me?"
With more people, nothing is needed, and what is lacking is tranquility.
Chen Wanrong woke up early the next morning. The crowded voices and heavy footsteps were heard. Chen Wanrong would wake up even if he died of sleep. He would bring a few people. No matter what, he would never make such a big noise. He thought to himself, who are these people?
In a deep understanding, Chen Wanrong had to get up. There is a woman in the yard, but she is still a young and beautiful woman. Chen Wanrong cannot be as scruple as she is in the countryside. He has to pay attention to his image, tidy up his clothes, wash his face before leaving the house.
Zheng Qing commanded the servants of the Zheng Mansion to carry bundles of bamboo joints in, and piled them neatly, like a hill. It turned out that they were making noises. Chen Wanrong asked in confusion: "What are you doing to make bamboo joints?"
Zheng Qing focused on commanding the servants, turned around and chuckled at Chen Wanrong, saying, "Uncle and aunt are coming today. This house will be used by you from today. It must be lively. Let's set off some firecrackers and make some fun."
There were no firecrackers in the Tang Dynasty, and when they encountered festive events, they had to burn bamboo joints. Although it was a lot of trouble, it was worth it for the festive atmosphere. How did she know that she was going to move today? Chen Wanrong accidentally saw Han Huahua huddled behind Zheng Qing, and immediately realized that it must be what she said, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for you, I really don't know what to say."
Zheng Qing was slightly naughty and said, "Brother Chen, don't thank me. This time I handed over the old house to you. When you handed it back to me, you have to set off firecrackers and handed it back lively."
She didn't want Chen Wanrong to thank her for saying that. Chen Wanrong didn't know that, and nodded and said, "Okay, I remember. When I hand it back to you, I will set off firecrackers."
"Brother, I'm going to set off firecrackers!" Chen Zairong came in from outside with Blue and White. The horse that had been slipping through the morning was more energetic. He followed Chen Zairong and followed him in.
"Yes!" Chen Wanrong ordered the task: "Zairong, after breakfast, you rode back on blue and white porcelain and help your parents."
It is human nature to love excitement. Chen Zairong was excited when he heard this: "Do you still need to have breakfast? I'll leave now." He turned over and galloped away.
Looking at Chen Zairong's back, Zheng Qing's eyes were shiny and she was unique: "Brother Chen, do you want to walk around every day?"
Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Yes! After all, Rong said, a good horse must be smooth, and if it doesn't, it will be ruined. What's wrong? What are you asking about this?" Seeing her particularly energetic phoenix eyes, Chen Wanrong was suspicious.
"It's nothing, I'll ask casually." Zheng Qing didn't want to say much: "Brother Chen, breakfast is ready, after eating, you'll be busy."
This is what he said about the rest of the world, although he was a good person, he was still right. Chen Wanrong had to temporarily put aside his suspicion. After breakfast, he took Ou Zhong and Xiao Shangrong to purchase things again.
The first thing to solve is spices, because they will have to be stored for several days after they are prepared. Chen Wanrong decided to buy ingredients first, and when he has time, he will put them out and put them in. The first thing he does when he goes to the city is to purchase spice raw materials. This is a large-scale production, not as small as last time, and there are a lot of spices needed. Chen Wanrong bought more than 500 jin of spice raw materials.
After weighing dozens of kilograms, Chen Wanrong went to take care of a car, and then went to the porcelain shop to buy hundreds of porcelain bottles and linen for filtering. He put them on the car and asked Xiao Shangrong to send them back.
After sending Xiao Shangrong away, he brought Ouzhong to buy a kettle. The reason why he used a kettle instead of a pot was that the kettle was thick and strong and durable. The second was that the volume was larger than the pot, which could improve efficiency.
Chen Wanrong decided not to make one pot after the next pot as before, but to divide it into several processes. The steps of alkaline washing, water washing, and adding spices can be used for a long time to change it again, which is conducive to improving production efficiency. The most common kettle kettle kettle kettle requires saponification, and several kettle kettles must be supplied for post-processing. In this way, it takes more than ten or twenty kettle kettles.
The shopkeeper of the kettle shop was both happy and in trouble when he sold so many kettles at once. He was happy that he had a great fortune today and sold so many kettles at once. The difficulty was that he must give it to him. He didn't have that great ability, so he had to rent a few cars at the car shop, and gave it to him one after another. He ran several times in a row before he finished delivering it to him. Chen Wanrong followed the last kettle to return to his old house, and it was already past noon.
This time, Chen Wanrong returned to the old house and did not see Zheng Qing. The first strange thing he found when he entered the old house was a strong fragrance that came to his face, as if he was walking among the flowers, which made people intoxicated. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but scream.
"Miss is a good skill, and the spices are so fragrant!" A servant from the Zheng family praised Zheng Qing softly with a proud look on his face.
Chen Wanrong knew that it was the fragrance of the spice, but he didn't know who was matching it. When he heard this, he suddenly realized. He explained the matter of placing the pot utensils to Xiao Shangrong and Ou Zhong, walked quickly to the room where the fragrance came, and opened the door and went in. He saw that Zheng Qing and Han Huahua were very focused. Han Huahua was pulping, while Zheng Qing didn't live among dozens of raw materials. He grabbed a little here and some there, and put them together.
"What kind of fragrance is this? I haven't smelled it." Chen Wanrong has combined several spice recipes given by Wu Jing. He is most familiar with these fragrances, but he has never smelled it.
Zheng Qing then found that there was one more person in the room, turned her head to look at Chen Wanrong, and was very angry and resentful: "Brother Chen, you didn't say anything, it scared people. This is the fragrance of fate, Chang'an and Luoyang's fate is the most popular. Uncle Wu didn't give you this recipe, and he was really."
Wu Jing is knowledgeable, but he has devoted all his attention to history, so he can't study what fragrances his life women like like like like like, it's normal.
Needless to think about it, she was helping with spices. Chen Wanrong was grateful from the bottom of his heart: "Ms. Zheng, I will never forget your help to me."
"Brother Chen, don't be so arrogant. I'm idle and I'm not good at helping with moving and carrying. Only these strengths can be shown. I'm grateful if you don't laugh at me." Zheng Qing was very modest.
Chen Wanrong knew that the spice was much better than what he had done when he smelled the fragrance. She was very good at this, but she said so humble to her, as if she was bored to pass the time. This is really a good moral: "How is this match? The method Mr. Wu taught me seems to be a little different from yours."
Zheng Qing handed a bag of spices to Han Huahua, and Han Huahua took them and mashed them. Zheng Qing then explained: "Uncle Wu's knowledge is good, but the recipes he wrote to you are all obtained from books and have not been proven. Some ingredients can be ignored, but when they have them, they will cover up the fragrance and are not very pure. It is impossible to sell them to ordinary people. If they are sold to palace people or court wives, they will inevitably be looked down upon."
When it comes to history writing, Wu Jing has few opponents in the world. When it comes to studying women, he is naturally inferior to Zheng Qing, who is a daughter. This defect is normal.
Chen Wanrong asked for advice: "How do you get this recipe? Can you tell me what you want?"
"Brother Chen likes to listen, so I say. If there is something I can't do, I'll ask you for advice." Zheng Qing still did not forget to be modest, and explained to Chen Wanrong while ingredient.
Chen Wanrong had to use something to measure the raw materials when she puts spices, but she didn't need it at all. She just grabbed it with her hands and was very skilled, and had a strong attainment in this area. Chen Wanrong had a sudden idea: "Ms. Zheng, let's discuss it, how about it?"
"Brother Chen, please tell me if you have something to do. If I can do it, I will do my best." Zheng Qing did not stop the work.
Chen Wanrong said excitedly: "I don't know much about this spice, I'm missing someone to help me. If possible, you come and help me. Just bring me what you want to do as Xieyi." Her family is not short of money, and if she gives her wages, it will definitely not be suitable.
Zheng Qing stopped what she was doing, pondered for a moment and said, "I have nothing to do at home alone. If you don't dislike me, I can help you match. Xie Yi doesn't need it."
A person like her who knows spices so well can be called a master. Even if he spends more money, he may not be able to get it. He actually doesn't want a penny. Chen Wanrong was really sorry and smiled and said, "It may not be a very valuable thing. Maybe it's a special meaning. If you like it, I'll give it to you." It's okay to give some unique gifts after helping so much, and you don't have to spend money.
Zheng Qing agreed to this proposal and nodded, "Brother Chen, then I remember it. Then, don't be fooled." Finally, I was joking.
"It must be, it must." This matter was decided, and he accidentally got the help of a very accomplished spice master. Chen Wanrong couldn't be happy and joined the ranks of spices.
The three of them matched for a while and they made a lot of matches. Xiao Shangrongfei rushed in like a little bit: "Brother, uncle and aunt are here."
Chen Wanrong put down his work: "Go and go and have a look." He went out first.
Zheng Qing and Han Huahua hurriedly followed him. Zheng Qing said to the servants of Zheng Mansion: "Set off firecrackers quickly." The servants hurriedly lit the pile of firewood and put the firecrackers in.
Chen Wanrong trotted to the door, and saw Chen Zairong walking in his head with blue and white flowers. Chen Wangshi followed him, Chen Laoshi drove a ox cart with things piled up on the cart. The hired guys followed behind. More than twenty people were carrying things, one by the other, and it was also a small long dragon.
Chen and his wife saw Chen Wanrong from afar. They had only been separated for a day, as if they hadn't seen each other for three years. They rushed over, pulled Chen Wanrong from left to right, looked left and right, and saw that Chen Wanrong was as good as before, and had not lost a dozen or so of flesh. Then they felt relieved and opened their mouths and were happy.
Chapter completed!
