Time is like running water. For Ye An, the three-day rare "holiday" is fleeting. The closure of Xinlingfang is a vacation for him. He and Qin Mumu finally don't have to worry about Xinlingfang's business.
Facts have proven that doing business in this era can be successful not only with forward-thinking ideas and a large number of reference cases, but you still cannot avoid investing time and energy.
As the owners of Xinlingfang, Ye An and Qin Mumu are even more tired than the other people in Xinlingfang. This is equivalent to managing a business when you have to deal with more than a dozen households and nearly a hundred people.
When you are responsible, it is impossible to relax.
Tieniu left, and seeing Hou San's family living in the front yard at the hanging flower gate with their loving mother and filial piety, he also planned to bring his mother back. For this reason, Qin Mumu even gave him a full fifty string.
The Wang gang was dissatisfied and imitated Ye An, picking up his hands and muttering in a low voice: "Fifty guan of money! You have to make ruts when you put it on the bullock cart..."
Qin Mumu rolled her eyes. Of course she knew it was the Wang Gang who was complaining. She tilted her head and said, "What I gave Tieniu is a silver collar with the private seal of the Marquis Mansion. If you go to Yangcheng County, you can also go to the county government office."
The money was exchanged."
"Hey?! Where's my bullock cart?!"
Ye An went to the cattle shed, and there were no other vehicles except the ox cart for pulling goods. It was rare to go to the court today, and Ye An planned to go there by ox cart, but when he arrived at the cattle shed, his ox cart disappeared.
Qin Mumu saw Ye An coming out of the side courtyard and said "Oh": "I asked Tieniu to take him back to pick up his mother. You can go to the streets today and hire a car to attend the court!"
Ye An was speechless. Now she was completely in charge of the affairs of the Hou Mansion. She didn't even say a word when her ox cart was driven away. The ox cart was renovated by herself. Of course, Qin Mumu also contributed, but that
It was the big green cow that I had been using since I arrived in Tokyo. It came from the Shangqing Palace.
Xuan Chengzi claimed that it was about to "achieve the Tao". He asked Ye An to go to the Qing Palace several times to switch to another one, but he was fooled by him. If it really could achieve the Tao, he would not mind "raising the chicken and the dog to heaven" with it.
The key is that this big green ox has great strength, a docile temper, and is very stable in pulling the cart. Now there is no need for anyone to drive it, as long as the reins shake a little, it will know where to go.
Especially the carriage, Ye An had installed a lot of exquisite utensils in it. Now that there was no bullock cart, he could only sigh "Prodigal woman" and ran away in embarrassment amidst Qin Mumu's coquettish shouts.
Fortunately, there was an ox cart at Ge Shanshu's house, so Ye An went to borrow the cart. Ye An never thought of going out to the street to find an ox cart. He only liked his own things, and stubbornly believed that it was his own dog.
The nest is better than other people’s big houses!
Ge Shanshu directly sent the Wang gang away, sat down on the shaft of the cart and drove the ox cart up Nanmen Street to Xuandemen: "You are also a marquis now, how can you still use an ox cart? Just talk to Kaifeng Mansion and you can use a horse cart."
, is it much more impressive than this bullock cart?”
Ye An, who was leaning on the carriage, smiled: "How can a horse-drawn carriage be as comfortable as an ox-cart? Besides, I am a scholar, so riding in a carriage will only make me look down on by my colleagues. What a joke! The ox-cart is very good, stable and unobtrusive, and it is a carriage.
No matter how exquisite it is, you will not be chased by the censor and scolded for extravagance. You don't know how those nobles were impeached by the censor in the palace."
"That's much better than ordinary people like us. If you want to be impeached by the imperial censor, you still have no chance! I can help you, the marquis, drive a carriage to go to court, which will save you face."
"Uncle Third! Being an official is not as good as you think. Some people are suitable for being officials, and some are not. The price you have to pay for chasing power will make you lose more things."
Ge Shanshu didn't understand Ye An's words. He just felt that Ye An was tired. This fatigue was not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue.
Not knowing how to comfort Ye An, Ge Shanshu thought for a long time before saying: "Hey! As the Marquis said, there is no relaxation in life. My husband has to worry about state affairs, and saints and officials have to worry about the whole world! As for ordinary people, of course
Thinking about how to make money to support their families, even farmers also think about how to grow more food in their fields! Don’t be afraid of being tired, but what you are afraid of is that you are tired and have no income, that is what makes people unbearable!”
Ye An lifted the car curtain with a smile and looked at the beggar who was throwing the pancakes in his arms to the roadside. At the same time, he enlightened his third uncle: "I didn't expect that my third uncle could see clearly. Yes! There will be many things in one's life."
There is no one who does not endure hardship, but as long as the efforts are rewarded, it is better than anything else!"
"Hey! Isn't that right? When you arrived at Xinlingfang, you made everyone in our village have a good life. Who wouldn't be grateful to you? No matter how many blessings and hardships you have, you won't care about it. Why? Not yet
Because you know that these blessings can bring you a good life? Just say that you returned to Xinlingfang a few days ago. If you had been able to use them before? Hey, it is different now. Everyone knows that your ideas can be changed into
Money, whoever doesn’t rush to contribute is a fool!"
This was beyond Ye An's expectation. He originally thought that his renovation plan would be spontaneously accepted by the residents of Xinlingfang. It was not only a matter of making money, but also with good environmental sanitation, he would be comfortable living there!
Without thinking, he eventually returned to the money, and nodded helplessly: "Yes! All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and the bustle in the world is all for profit!"
"Zizzizi... Look, Mr. Hou, I can't say such docile words, but the word "profit" is a wise saying!"
It was still early, and the breakfast shops and stalls on the road were already full of diners. Because of their former identities, Ye An and Qin Mumu did not have the habit of sleeping until they woke up naturally. Hou Mansion was the earliest restaurant in Xinlingfang.
People.
It is a very bad thing to go out to go to court without breakfast. Although it is to go to Wende Hall to stop the shift, Liu E and Zhao Zhen may not show up, but it is still a regular court, at least once.
It will take two hours. If you don't eat something, I'm afraid the Wu Zang Temple will complain again, and you might even be accused by the censor of being unbecoming of a person in front of the palace.
That's right, the imperial censors in the palace not only have excellent vision, but also have excellent ears! It has even become their daily job to impeach the courtiers' behavior in the palace.
Ye An doesn't like those tall and imposing main stores with colorful doors, nor does he like foot shops with insufficient lighting, but he likes roadside vendors and open-air tables and chairs the most.
He asked Ge Shanshu to stop the ox cart and walk past a mutton soup shop. He ate a bowl of mutton soup with pancakes in the morning and felt energetic all day long.
The reason why I stopped in front of this shop is not only because the mutton soup in these six mutton soup shops is delicious, but also because all the shops in his shop adopt the same bar design as the shops in Xinlingfang.
That's right, Xinlingfang's wooden bar has become popular in Tokyo, so much so that Carpenter Cui's business is busy from morning to night.
The shop is small and there is no place for dine-in. The shop has transformed it into a soup-making place. Several large pots are filled with snow-white boiling mutton soup. Customers only need to pay and get a bowl of delicious mutton.
For soup, sit in front of the wooden bar and eat pancakes.
