Shen Yunxi nodded as if he understood. People's hearts are divided, especially in this era where a woman's integrity is more important than her life. If someone with a heart spreads a few words casually, it really means they can't explain it clearly.
As the saying goes, if you open your mouth to spread rumors, you will lose your legs if you refute them!
"Where have I been? I've been working at home every day these days! Isn't the mustard greens about to be harvested? I need to pickle sauerkraut and make prunes soon. I'm so busy!"
Mu Chenglin smiled and said no more.
When we arrived at Qingmu Village, because the Xia family's carriage came every day, no one noticed it, so no one noticed anything until the carriage entered the Mu family's yard.
Shen Yunxi got off the carriage and saw Mu Mu with red and swollen eyes and a haggard face. Mu Chengjin on the side was not much better, and Yang Xiaomi, who came over early in the morning to inquire about Shen Yunxi. information.
Chen Yunxi felt warm in her heart. In this other world, there were still people who cared about her, Shen Yunxi.
Seeing that Shen Yunxi was peaceful and rosy, Mu Mu held back her tears and took her back to the house. Yang Xiaomi went back very wisely.
Mu Chenglin took the groom to bring sauerkraut and rice wine. Mu Chengjin went to his study, where Mu Mu and Shen Yunxi were the only ones left in the room.
"Yun Xi, are you really okay?" Mu Mu looked up and down, "They didn't hit you, right? No one bullied you, right?"
"Mom! It's really okay!"
Shen Yunxi told Mu's mother exactly what happened. She concealed some of the more dangerous things, "So they didn't dare to lay a finger on me from the beginning to the end!"
Mu Mu was relieved and said, "But they are hungry for you! Ask A Lin to prepare some more vegetables for you at noon, so you can make up for it!"
Shen Yunxi touched her rosy face. She had eaten well and slept soundly these days. No more supplements!
"This Shen family has gone too far. How could they treat you like this? Yun Xi, although the Shen family is your natal family and you shouldn't say these things, this person cannot be too weak while living in this world, otherwise he will be bullied. Just like...just like..."
Mu's mother swallowed her words as she spoke, and Shen Yunxi immediately comforted her, "Don't worry, mother, after going through so many things, the little kindness the Shen family gave me in raising me has almost been worn away by them."
"For the Shen family, I, a married woman, should do a lot, but if they do something wrong, they should be punished!"
Seeing that Chen Yunxi was not confused, Mu Mu felt relieved.
Outside the house, Mu Chenglin had already moved the goods to be delivered from the workshop and entered the house.
"Yun Xi, one hundred jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine were given to the Xia family, but Boss Xia gave us two jars instead. We received a total of two thousand taels of silver."
"In addition to sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed rice, the daily income from tofu, bean brains, bean sprouts, pickled cabbage, vinegar and preserved eggs during these days is about four taels, which is more than a hundred taels in total!"
"The two jars of soybean paste that were taken away a few days ago were paid for one hundred taels of silver."
"Now that we have a donkey at home and the weather is cooler, Xia Yifan has put forward a condition, hoping to send more tofu, brains and bean sprouts."
Seeing that the two were about to talk, Mu Mu walked away very wisely, "You two, talk slowly, my mother is going to make winter clothes for you!"
"Do we have enough winter clothes?" After getting money, Mu Mu seems to have been making clothes in the past few months, and she is not tired!
"Of course, the more clothes the better, especially the clothes worn during the Chinese New Year. In addition to bright colors, they also need to be embroidered with beautiful patterns." Mu Chenglin explained patiently. Shen Yunxi probably didn't have any in the Shen family. Wearing new clothes like this.
"What I mean is, we have made so much money, why don't we buy something ready-made and let my mother have a rest!" Shen Yunxi pointed at Mu Chenglin's bulging money bag and said.
Mu Chenglin was stunned for a moment. He always thought that Shen Yunxi wanted to use the money to continue to expand his business, so the money remained untouched!
"That's what I think." Shen Yunxi continued, "After the soy sauce is ready, the soy products business will be expanded because I want to make dried tofu that is easy to preserve and transport."
"In addition to dried tofu, I also want to make tofu skin, which is an ingredient used to make spicy strips. I plan to keep this business to myself because I want to open a store of our own in the town."
Mu Chenglin had never heard of these new terms that Shen Yunxi mentioned, but he listened very carefully.
"Next spring, Ah Jin will go to the town to study. We have our own shop in the town, so it is convenient to take care of Ah Jin!"
"Shen Zhenyu is useless. Even though Shen Wenjun has been involved in such a thing, as long as Mrs. Shen wipes his ass, he will still stay in the academy. I'm worried that Ah Jin will be bullied by him."
When Shen Yunxi said these words, she was very sincere. Mu Chenglin couldn't help but look at her a few more times. There was a tenderness in his eyes that he didn't even notice.
"If you open your own store, the ingredients you provide should not only be similar to those in Qingfenglou, but also have their own characteristics. What I want is to eat duck." Shen Yunxi proposed his idea to Mu Chenglin for the first time, although he bought the land at the time. When she insisted on getting the land by the river, Mu Chenglin supported her, but how she wanted to operate it, Mu Chenglin didn't know.
"Eating duck?"
"That's right! The first step is to buy a few acres of land as a duck processing workshop. After processing, the duck's feathers can be stuffed into clothes, which is warmer than cotton."
"The duck body can be made into roast duck, salted duck, or sauced duck. The duck head, duck feet, duck tongue, and duck neck can be marinated and eaten as snacks. Duck intestines, duck blood, duck gizzards, and duck liver can be made into duck blood vermicelli."
While Shen Yunxi was talking, Mu Chenglin was pointing his fingers, "If you eat shit all over this duck, there's nothing useless about it!"
"That's wrong! Duck poop can be fed to fish!" That's right, fish and shrimp can also be raised in the river, creating an ecological cycle.
"So the second step is to buy the river after you have money!"
"Buy the river?" Mu Chenglin was a little surprised, but then he figured it out, "I understand, the wild ducks will be caught one day. Do you want to breed them yourself?"
"Smart!" Shen Yunxi snapped his fingers. It's great to cooperate with smart people! Just click and it will work!
"Like salted duck eggs, in addition to being eaten as a dish, the yolks can also be used as desserts, but we'll talk about that later!" Shen Yunxi revealed more, and Mu Chenglin smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's do this slowly and don't talk to anyone." Mu Chenglin said. Shen Yunxi may think this is nothing, but her thoughts have subverted a lot of perceptions.
Ducks have a strong smell, and many people don't like to eat them. But from what Chen Yunxi said, ducks are full of treasures. If these things are known by interested people, coupled with these new tricks that the Mu family has come up with before, it will not be safe. Someone is very interested in Shen Yunxi.
"I know, except for you, I didn't tell anyone!" Shen Yunxi said, Mu's mother never interfered in their affairs. Mu Chengjin also focused on studying since childhood, and she didn't understand after telling Yang Xiaomi. As for Xia Yifan, It is impossible to say that a cooperative relationship is also a competitor.
Mu Chenglin still felt that this matter was a bit unsafe and he had to find a backer.
"The winter wheat is almost planted. Aunt Huang will be here in a few days. Go to the village chief's house and tell us that we will be harvesting mustard soon. By the way, you can also offer to buy the four acres of land next to it to expand the workshop. "
Mu Chenglin took out all the banknotes and coins from his wallet. He did the math and gave all the two thousand taels of banknotes to Shen Yunxi.
"What are you doing? I can't spend so much money!" With two thousand taels of pocket money, this man is so generous.
"You are in charge of the money!" Mu Chenglin said. Shen Yunxi had more ideas than him. Although the two of them were now in a cooperative relationship, it was indeed impossible for her to return to the Shen family. She could only rely on his Mu Chenglin's wife's I live in the Mu family, so it’s better to let Shen Yunxi take care of the money!
"Don't! You must know that the pocket money you gave me before was snatched away by those gangsters. I am a weak woman with no force value. I can't hide so much money at all. You should keep it. When I am short of money Just ask you for it!" Shen Yunxi refused again and again!
What a joke, she can’t afford to pay for the loss of so many banknotes!
Seeing what Shen Yunxi said, Mu Chenglin had no choice but to put the two thousand taels of silver notes back into his purse, and gave the remaining one hundred taels to Shen Yunxi, "Then I'll give these to you! I want to buy them. Just buy whatever you want, and if you don’t have enough, ask me for more!”
"There are still one hundred taels for the daily expenses of the workshop."
Shen Yunxi took the money and looked at Mu Chenglin curiously. When he first came here, this man was willing to die for one hundred and twenty taels of silver. Now he is so generous... just like a domineering CEO. Similar.
But Shen Yunxi didn't lack for anything. At most, she could secretly order some takeout to satisfy her cravings while they were away.
Seeing Shen Yunxi take the banknote, Mu Chenglin touched the hairpin on his chest again. He bought it on the roadside yesterday when he was looking for Shen Yunxi.
But he didn't know in what capacity he should give this hairpin to Shen Yunxi.
Husband? Even my mother knows that the two of them are not in the same room, and they are in name only.
Partners? It seems that giving hairpins to partners is somewhat unfair.
Looking at Shen Yunxi again, she didn't seem to have much interest in the money. She only wanted to do business. There was no affection in the way she looked at her.
Mu Chenglin touched the hairpin and stretched out his hand, "Well, I'm going to cook. You've been tormented for so long, so go and rest for a while!"
Shen Yunxi didn't notice the subtle changes in Mu Chenglin, and she was already happy.
Unexpectedly, she earned so much money in such a short period of time. It seems that her dream of opening a store in the town next spring will soon come true!
Mu Chenglin went to prepare lunch, and Shen Yunxi returned to his room and lay on the bed.
"Oh, my own dog house is more comfortable!"
She rolled on the bed and then touched the bottle under the mattress.
Shen Yunxi picked up the bottle out of habit, unscrewed the cap and prepared to take a sip. There was some cola residue on the bottle cap, and it was even a little sticky.
Shen Yunxi wiped it, took a sip, and then tightened the lid firmly.
She probably didn't tighten it properly before, so some liquid seeped out. She didn't think that anyone had discovered the secret of the otaku fairy water, and she didn't expect that Mu Chenglin would be so calm and didn't ask her anything.
For lunch, Mu Chenglin made pickled fish, stewed tofu, and pork belly and chicken soup. After the meal, the two of them went to the village chief's house with their money.
The village chief was very happy to see the two of them. There was also a lot of mustard greens growing in his house, which were almost ripe. He guessed that Mu Chenglin and Shen Yunxi came to him to discuss the purchase of mustard greens.
Shen Yunxi took out twenty taels of silver notes and two taels of silver, "Grandpa, village chief, we want to buy another four acres of land. You have also seen that the Xia family's carriage comes every day to pull goods. This business is doing well. The workshop It needs to be expanded even more!”
Hearing Shen Yunxi say that the business was good, the village chief smiled widely, which meant that Shen Yunxi would definitely take all the mustard greens from his family. For two cents per catty, these mustard greens could be sold for a lot of money.
"Yun Xi, twenty taels is enough to buy the land." The village chief put away the twenty taels of silver and returned the twenty taels of silver.
"Grandpa, I'll buy you some wine with this little money, and you'll need to go to the county office to transfer the ownership of the land. You should pay for the errands! Besides, the mustard must be collected soon, so I need you to organize it." Where's the order?" Shen Yunxi handed another two taels of silver to the village chief.
"Yes, village chief, we can't pick all the mustard greens at once. We won't have time to do it by then, and it will be bad if they rot."
"I still need you to direct me. Should I collect them one by one or give a few pounds to every household every day? I still need to discuss it with you!"
Mu Chenglin interrupted and said that this is what he and Shen Yunxi are worried about. There are a lot of mustard greens growing in the village. If they just make a sound, the villagers will bring mustard greens. They have limited manpower and will not have time to make them. These vegetables will definitely rot. .
The village chief nodded. Mu Chenglin was right. We really need to establish an order. "You guys are good people, so this business will get better and better!"
"Just like the Yang family, no, Yang Xiaomi came to me a few days ago and wanted to buy the two acres of land next to her house!"
"The land next to her house is relatively expensive, costing twelve taels of silver per acre. So the family discussed and planned to buy two acres first."
"The life of the Yang family is getting better and better, so when it comes to life and work, you shouldn't be too harsh. You have to be kind to others. One day, you will be blessed!"
Shen Yunxi knew that the village chief was making fun of the Shen family. The Shen family was in a state of chaos these days. Shen Xiujuan married Cui Xiucai as she wished, but she was an ordinary wife. How is your family doing?
Shen Zhenyu's right hand was crippled. Shen Dafu and Mrs. Li quarreled with Old Man Shen and Mrs. Shen at home every day, but they did not dare to really take them to the Yamen.
Shen Erfu and Shen Sanfu also took the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction. Every day, neighbors could hear Mrs. Shen crying and scolding her descendants for being unfilial.
I just don’t know what will happen to the Shen family when Shen Wenjun comes back to ask for someone else.
When she came out of the village chief's house, Shen Yunxi was in a particularly good mood. Mu Chenglin accompanied her for a walk on the field ridge.
This must be the first time for the two of them to stroll outside so leisurely. In the neat farmland, the winter wheat has just been planted and has not yet sprouted. It must be that in a month, there will be a sea of green again.
Not far away, Shen Pingping, who was looking for pigweed everywhere, looked tired. Autumn has arrived, and pigweed is particularly hard to find, but the Shen family's pigs opened their mouths to eat.
The old lady has been extremely irritable these days. She would start fights when they disagreed with each other, and she would vent her anger at her sons on her and her mother.
Shen Erfu also watched helplessly and didn't care at all.
Seeing Shen Yunxi's rosy little face, wearing brand new clothes, and Mu Chenglin accompanying her, Shen Pingping's eyes were filled with jealousy.
This was supposed to be her life, but Shen Yunxi, a shameless bitch, insisted on relying on the Mu family and robbed her of her blessing!
In the evening, Shen Yunxi was instructing Mu Chenglin to try making roast duck, and the Xia family's carriage arrived at the Mu family again.
The person who got off the carriage was the sturdy Manager Hong. Mu Chenglin quickly welcomed him in. As soon as he entered the door, Manager Hong looked for Shen Yunxi anxiously.
"Miss Yunxi, did you hit the kidnapper's head with a fine glass at the scene of the kidnapping?"
Chen Yunxi was a little confused. Premium colored glaze?
