Chapter 30 Another happy event

Chapter 30: Happy Event Again

The next day, Chen Wanrong was still busy in the winery, inspecting and giving instructions. However, Ou Sheng began to be very busy, and he had to handle transportation affairs and arrange the ceremony for Chen Wanrong to leave tomorrow. The transportation problem was not big. When he went to the Cheshang, the shopkeeper of the Cheshang heard that it was a big deal for two months and agreed without any trouble. The price was also lower for Ou Sheng, an old acquaintance.

Although Ou Sheng no longer paid the official salary, he was still connected and was very satisfied with this matter. He praised the shopkeeper of the car shop for a few words before he arranged the ceremony. He summoned three former yamen runners, and asked them to handle the matter as soon as they were told and asked to explain it.

Zhou Quanfu, Ge Shoujin and Liu Xiaoxing all day long, they were walking around the old house and looking around, but they had nothing to do. Now they finally had something to do, and they were very excited. After Ou Sheng ordered, they immediately went to handle it.

After the matter was arranged, Ou Sheng then came to Chen Wanrong to discuss it. When he came to Sun Zhengping's room, Sun Zhengping brought herbal tea. The three of them sat together, drinking tea while discussing the matter.

"Brother Ou, what's the matter with me?" Chen Wanrong knew that Ou Sheng was very busy today and could not find him if he had nothing to do.

Ou Sheng drank the herbal tea and put down the bowl and said, "Boss, I've thought about it. I said one less thing yesterday. Think about it, when you leave tomorrow, you can't just have a ceremony, right? You may even come back. Should you say hello to some old friends, invite them to a meal, drink and say goodbye."

This is human favor, and it is essential. Sun Zhengping slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, why did I forget this?"

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Fortunately, Brother Ou reminded me. Taking this opportunity, I will tell you some things by the way, so that you can have a handover and do it more easily in the future. Besides, I have to repay this favor. Brother Ou, I want to invite Zhao Bottom, Yuan Manager, and the shopkeeper of the car shop to have a good chat."

Zhao Xiaotian and Yuan Tiancheng are old acquaintances of Chen Wanrong, so it is natural that it should be. The shopkeeper of the car shop started working together today, so it is necessary to speak out. Ou Sheng had no objection to this arrangement and nodded, "Okay! I think so too. By the way, call the old house and the elites of the winery together."

After leaving, his own people had to give in. Chen Wanrong agreed very much: "Yes! In addition, everyone will have a good meal tonight."

Sun Zhengping nodded in agreement, and Ou Sheng stood up: "Boss, I'll arrange this matter. The boss and Zhao Piaotou and others go to the restaurant, and the others are in the old house winery." With Chen Wanrong's approval, Ou Sheng walked away with great strides.

When people left, people had to keep their favors. Chen Wanrong really praised Ou Sheng for a few words. Sun Zhengping also praised him for his carefulness and thoughtfulness. The two of them said a while and went to work hard again.

In the evening, Chen Wanrong, Ou Sheng, Sun Zhengping, Wang Zhongze, Master Ma, Wang Shouxin, Xiao Zhizhong, and Shi Dazhu went to the restaurant together. Yuan Tiancheng, Zhao Xiaotian and Chexing shopkeeper arrived one after another. While drinking, they talked about gossip and talked about some serious matters. They were having fun and parted with joy.

When he returned home, Chen Wanrong solicited the opinions of Chen Laoshi and his wife again, but he insisted on staying in Ning County. Chen Wanrong had no choice but to give up.

The next day, Chen Wanrong was walking away. As soon as he finished breakfast, the whole old house was in full bloom. The hired workers came to see him off and said some auspicious words such as blessings and congratulations. Zhao Xiaotian and Yuan Tiancheng arrived one after another to see Chen Wanrong off.

The result of Ou Sheng and Sun Zhengping's discussion was that they would not see each other off at the old house, but instead at the winery. The reason was very simple, that was, the car dealer had to pack wine in the winery, and when the wine was ready, they would just go. Chen Wanrong and Zhao Xiaotian and others exchanged greetings, set off together and went to the winery. There was no work, and the hired workers followed behind, which was so big.

When I arrived at the winery, I saw that there were many carriages parked in the winery, and the guys were loading wine. Sun Zhengping and Xiao Zhizhong came over and did not have to enter the house, and explained some missing matters by the way. Until the wine was loaded, Sun Zhengping raised his throat and said, "Boss, please go on the road!"

The employees said in unison: "Boss, go!"

Chen and his wife were busy, holding Chen Wanrong off the left and right, and were reluctant to say something, but they didn't know how good it was. Finally, Chen Wangshi reminded him: "Wanrong, you have to take good care of yourself. If you have any luck with Rong and your wife, you should pay more attention."

The words on the farewell were particularly touching. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. Dad, mom, you want to come to Chang'an, say, I'll pick you up."

"I know!" Chen Laoshi wiped his tears and gently slapped on the back of Chen Wanrong's hand, extremely reluctant to let go.

A crisp sound of firecrackers sounded, and Chen Wanrong was about to set off. He flew on the horse's back, pulled the reins, and the blue and white trees walked slowly, and the horses stepped out of the winery. Xiao Shangrong drove the ox cart with Wang Zhongze's wooden tools on it, and all the luggage, sulfuric acid, Xiao Hei roared happily, and rushed to the blue and white sides, roared happily, and then he slowed down and followed.

Ou Sheng and Wang Zhongze took a car together and followed Chen Wanrong. Then the fleet was transporting alcohol. After working more than 4,000 kilograms in two days, plus the alcohol made by training newcomers, there were a total of 5,000 kilograms, and more than a dozen carriages were one after another, like a long dragon, heading towards Chang'an amid the farewells of the employees.

Looking at this long dragon, Chen Wanrong was really surprised. He remembered that he had no food to eat at the beginning, and he couldn't believe that there was such a big change. The sound of horse hooves and carriages formed a pleasant music. Chen Wanrong heard it very beautifully. He pulled the reins of the horse and stood beside the road, allowing the convoy to walk into his head.

It was strange that when Chen Wanrong asked, Xiao Hei stopped doing it and stopped beside Chen Wanrong. The horns were rubbing against Chen Wanrong's legs. They were very intimate. Chen Wanrong laughed and scolded, "I'm crazy again", but it made Xiao Hei roar, which seemed to be very helpful. Chen Wanrong had no choice but to drive the horse to Ou Sheng and the others' car, and chatted with Ou Sheng and the others.

This fleet of cargo transporters is not as fast as riding flowers, and it takes a lot of time. If you don’t ask someone to talk to, you will be suffocated to death. You will talk and laugh all the way, and you will not see the city walls of Chang'an until after noon.

Seeing Chang'an's majestic and tall city wall from afar, Xiao Shangrong was surprised and his mouth closed for a long time: "Brother, how big is Chang'an?" It was his first time to come to Chang'an, and it was inevitable that he was surprised.

Chen Wanrong was also shocked by Chang'an's majesty for the first time. He understood his mood very well and smiled and said, "Imagine it is twenty miles long and twenty miles wide." This is the approximate number, which is not much different from the actual Chang'an.

Xiao Shangrong thought about it and couldn't understand: "Oh my God, it's so big!"

It was Wang Zhongze who came to Chang'an for the first time. His shock was only above Xiao Shangrong, not below him: "It's so big! If I hadn't been benefiting from the boss's glory, I wouldn't have been able to come to Chang'an once in my life, let alone stay in Chang'an forever!" This was the supreme honor, his face was shining, making Ou Sheng smile.

At the end, Wang Zhongze said, "No wonder Master Chen doesn't want to come to Chang'an, it's so scary!" After finishing his words, he realized that he had a grammatical problem and hurriedly said, "Boss, I didn't mean it."

Chen Wanrong laughed and said, "That's right, my parents are too timid."

I entered the city from Guanghua Gate. Under Chen Wanrong's command, the convoy went straight to Fuxingfang for lunch. A large group of people came in and there was a lot of noise. A waiter had already come up and led the convoy over, parked it, and added some forage to the horse.

The Hushicai in Fuxingfang is fragrant, the coachmen keep sniffing, and even some people can't help swallowing. Chen Wanrong asked, "How about Hushicai, duck blood soup?"

The coachman is a coolie, and it is good to eat if he has enough food. There is no objection to where to choose. Someone even whispered: "What is this? It's so delicious? How good if I could eat it!"

"Everyone sits, just sit!" Chen Wanrong greeted, sat down, and said to the waiter: "Everyone has a bowl of duck blood soup, and the veal cakes are served, and the account is cleared after eating."

The waiter responded and went to arrange the coachmen to sit down, their eyes turned, and looked at the squid cakes in the diners' hands, hoping to eat them in their mouths now.

"Brother, this shisha cake smells quite delicious, is it delicious?" Xiao Shangrong was a little unsure.

Chen Wanrong did not answer the question, but reminded him: "I will know if it tastes delicious later. I will tell you, be careful not to swallow your tongue into your stomach."

Xiao Shangrong didn't believe it and didn't say anything. The waiter brought the veal cake and duck blood soup. He picked up a piece of veal cake, opened his mouth and bit it, chewed it a few times, and praised it: "It smells so good! Ah!" With a scream, his mouth opened, and his face was full of pain.

Chen Wanrong teased and said, "Is it a loss if I don't listen to me?"

After gasping, Xiao Shangrong said stubbornly: "I accidentally bit my tongue, but it wasn't swallowing it into my stomach." He stopped talking and started eating on his own. This time it was much slower.

Chen Wanrong ignored him and picked up the veal cake and tasted it. It was still so catchy. He had a big appetite and chewed it. After eating a few veal cakes in a row, Xiao Shangrong asked: "Brother, what is this made? It is fragrant and crispy, and it is very catchy!"

After talking about the matter about the marsh cake, Xiao Shangrong was satisfied. Chen Wanrong thought that if it weren’t for hydrochloric acid, the wastewater would have been difficult to deal with, and the taste would have been even more beautiful and fresher. Last time I ate marsh cake in Fuxingfang, Chen Wanrong thought that he could make MSG, but then he thought about it carefully and could not make it. Without hydrochloric acid, it was a constraint. Moreover, the wastewater of MSG was not easy to deal with, so he had to give up.

The coachman is all bitter. He has a large appetite and can hold it. His throat is thick. It tastes amazing. The sound of sighs and whispers is like a flying snake passing through the autumn grass, attracting the attention of diners. Some even curl their lips disdainfully and look very despised.

Chen Wanrong maintained the coachman: "What's so good about it? Isn't it just a meal? I'll be hungry for you for three days, it's not the same." Diners glanced at Chen Wanrong and stopped looking at Qiqi.

When they put down the bowl, the coachman all had a round belly and was very satisfied. He couldn't help but smack his lips. He muttered softly to each other, "I've never eaten such delicious food before." He talked about each other, and chuckled when he was happy.

After clearing the accounts, Chen Wanrong asked the driver to drive the carriage and went straight to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War was one of the six ministries and one of the most important institutions of the Tang Dynasty, so it was naturally in the imperial city. That refers to the highest service agency of the Ministry of War. Other institutions in charge of specific affairs would not be located in the imperial city. This organization that purchases military supplies was located in Guangzhaifang.

Guangzhaifang is in front of Daming Palace, only across Danfeng Street. After passing through Fuxingfang and passing by the imperial city, Xiao Shangrong looked at the tall imperial city, and the mighty soldiers were surprised and could not speak for a long time.

When he arrived at Guangzhaifang, he went straight to the food and fodder office of the Ministry of War. A group of soldiers stood in front of the door. Chen Wanrong told the officer that he was here to deliver the goods. The army shouted for a while and went to report it. After a while, the officer turned around and asked Chen Wanrong to go in. Chen Wanrong thought that this matter would be handled by Ou Sheng in in the future. He took Ou Sheng in and the officer did not stop him.

A middle-aged man in his forties came out, with fair skin, clear eyes, and a sense of cleverness. He clasped his fists at Chen Wanrong and said, "Is it a shopkeeper Chen?"

"Chen Wanrong has met the adults." Chen Wanrong bowed with his fists.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You are kind to the shopkeeper Chen. He Qingyi received the order from the Minister of State. The alcohol was accepted immediately when he arrived. Please ask the shopkeeper Chen to ask them to come in."

Ou Sheng waved his hand, and the sound of the car was shaking, and the convoy slowly drove in. He Qingyi looked at it for a while, nodded and said, "Down and count it." The driver took action, and the buckets of buckets were placed neatly.

"How many in total?" He Qingyi asked.

Chen Wanrong replied: "There are a total of 100 barrels and 2 barrels, each barrel is 50 kilograms, which is counted as 5,000 kilograms. The other two barrels are used as a supplementary head to make up for the error."

He Qingyi nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Chen is very considerate. It's just that you lost money."

"I deserve to contribute to the court." Chen Wanrong said a cliché. Chen Wanrong was thinking about another extra meaning, that is, it is the responsibility of doing his part to attack Shibao City, but this secret cannot be said here, so he used this set of words.

He Qingyi clapped her hands and said, "Okay, move away." When she returned to the house, she came out soon. It was the Ministry of War's acceptance certificate. Chen Wanrong took it and handed it to Ou Sheng.

"Wait until everything is paid, then the account is cleared." After the matter was finished, He Qingyi clasped his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, say goodbye." Without waiting for Chen Wanrong to speak, he turned around and went into the room.

Although there was no tea, no greetings, and no earnest desire to keep, it won Chen Wanrong's respect. Ou Sheng nodded and exclaimed: "This is a good official who is wholeheartedly doing things!" The driver drove out the carriage and ordered them to return to Ning County.

The coachmen took the order and responded and drove back.

"Brother, where are we going? Go directly to the Qiandi?" Xiao Shangrong asked in a ox cart.

Chen Wanrong thought for a moment: "No, go see your sister-in-law first, and then go to home." The reason for going to Zheng Mansion first is that it is close to here, second is that it is missing Yiren, and third is to understand the situation in Zheng Mansion.

This place is very close to Pingkangfang. After walking for about half an hour, I arrived at the gate of Zheng Mansion. The gate was still wide open. As soon as Chen Wanrong entered the door, he saw that the courtyard was deserted and thought that it was Zheng Qing and the others were not at home. Just as he was thinking, Xiao Hei heard a roar that shocked his eardrums and kept shaking his neck. It was very exciting, and the horns rubbed against Chen Wanrong.

"Where did the cow come from?" A guy hurried out from the house. When he saw that it was Chen Wanrong, he immediately changed his smile and came over to say hello.

Before Chen Wanrong could ask him if Zheng Qing was there, he saw a few people coming out of the living room, including Zheng Jianqiu and his wife, Zheng Qing and Zheng Wanru. When he saw Chen Wanrong's face, Zheng Qing was happy and rushed towards him with her skirt. She looked like a happy swallow. She complained from afar: "Why are you back now?"

"It's not dark yet, it's early enough!" Chen Wanrong teased her.

Zheng Qing's pretty face turned black and she scolded her unconfident words: "I'm not serious." She came over and looked at Xiao Hei a few times, pulled Xiao Hei's ears, and started to complain: "Do you still yell at this bad thing?" Xiao Hei's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and ignored him. Zheng Qing let go of Xiao Hei, and then came to greet Ou Sheng and the others in the room to sit.

Chen Wanrong handed the reins to the clerk, Xiao Shangrong tied Xiao Hei, and then followed Zheng Qing to the living room. When he came to the living room, he sat down. Qing'e brought tea, everyone had it, but Chen Wanrong didn't. Chen Wanrong didn't know that, so he asked, "I'm messing with you again?"

"Who knows?" Qing'e shook his words and went by himself. Chen Wanrong touched his forehead and muttered, "I didn't offend her."

Zheng Zhou smiled and said, "She is having fun with you, don't take Wanrong to heart."

Zheng Qing smiled and said, "I'll go and take it to you." Before she stood up, Qing'e came in with a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Wanrong: "Is there nothing to say now?"

Chen Wanrong said, "I have nothing to say." He took a sip of tea and praised the good tea. Then he asked, "Father-in-law, how long did you come back?"

Zheng Jianqiu drank tea and replied: "Yesterday afternoon. Wanrong, I was thinking about your meeting with the emperor, so I was in a hurry to come back, otherwise I would have to delay for a few more days." Seeing that the emperor was a great honor, Zheng Jianqiu, the father-in-law, was naturally in a hurry to find out.

"Isn't it the same?" Chen Wanrong was not as excited as him.
