Sick Man Turns Out to be a General - C278
After subduing the rebels, the capital city returned to its former bustle. Shen Jingli was detained in the palace for several days without going to check the shops and the Grange. Taking advantage of the fine weather these days, he went out to inspect the shops and granges with his love and good luck.
Jin Yu wanted to come with her, but Shen Jingli, worried that mammy Jin could not take care of her four children, asked her to stay at home to help, and left Dali at home to play with xun’er, and watched him by the way to keep him out of trouble.
The capital has been besieged for several months. Many businesses have closed their shops and hid at home for fear of being harmed by the war. Now that the ban is lifted in the capital, shops in Zhuque street have opened their doors to do business. In addition, it is said that merchants from all over the capital are enjoying unprecedented excitement.
Shen Jingli didn’t take a carriage. He took Dali and Nianhua and walked leisurely along the street. He took a look here and there. He stopped at the interested stalls from time to time to look at the products and ask the price. If he thought it was good, he would take it down.
When Lu came down, Dali and Nianhua had already filled their hands with booty, but it didn’t matter whether they were young. They ate with snacks in one hand and things in the other.
“Madam, this steamed bread with milk fragrance is really good. Unfortunately, the boss won’t buy more. Only five can be bought by one person.” When Nian Hua bit the steamed bread with milk fragrance, the smell of milk immediately permeated his mouth. The steamed bread was soft and chewy, and he wanted to have a second bite after eating it. Although many people in Beijing did not like drinking goat’s milk or cow’s milk, they thought it was unlucky to drink animal’s milk. However, this family’s steamed bread was very popular. The merchants didn’t do it every day, and only 100 steamed bread were made each time. One person could only buy five, Every time I come, there’s a long line.
“Yes, you are still eating hard.”
Dali looked at him and took out a steamed bread from the bag. He bit his mouth contentedly and showed a happy expression. Suddenly, he was a little angry. His wife bought all these steamed bread. How could he eat it with relish.
“These steamed buns are so delicious that I can’t control them.” Love doesn’t care what Dali is thinking. Anyway, his stomach is still empty. If he can eat it, madam, he can live up to the food.
“Don’t finish eating. Leave two for xun’er and Huaixin. Huaixin seems to like the steamed bread with milk fragrance.” Shen Jingli told him that this is a king of big stomach with super good appetite. If he doesn’t pay attention to him, he will certainly finish his food.
After eating the last steamed bread, he licked his lips and stretched out his hand to rub his stomach which was only half full.
Seeing him like this, Shen Jingli couldn’t help laughing and added, “there are red bean packets in it. If you are hungry, you can eat them.”
It is estimated that if he is not hungry, he will also eat it. He is a natural food and can not resist the temptation of delicious food.
They went over and inspected two restaurants, three calligraphy and painting shops and a jade ware shop. When they came to a pawnshop, Dali told him that it was the pawnshop under the name of Mu Chen, and there were several branches in Xicheng and Nancheng.
“Why didn’t I know there was such a pawnshop?”
Fourteen had never told him that there was such a pawnshop when he handed over all the shops to him.
“This is the wife’s dowry shop. Originally, there was only one shop. Because of poor management, it could not be done any more. The master asked Mr. Xu to take care of the shop. He not only brought the dead back to life, but also opened several separate shops.” Daly explained.
This made Shen Jingli look at him carefully. He thought that good luck was an ordinary boy in the house. Unexpectedly, he was Mu Chen’s confidant.
“Since the master didn’t give it to me, I don’t care.” However, he wrote down the pawnshop secretly, which can be used as a last resort when necessary.
After looking at his shop, he found that only the wooden ware shop was not open for business. The reason was that the shopkeeper was ill. He thought it would be OK to open less for a few days, so he did not open the business.
It’s normal to take a rest when you are sick. Shen Jingli is not so unreasonable and reasonable. He went to see the shopkeeper and asked him to take a good rest. After that, he left ten Liang silver and went to Yang ningxiu’s embroidery workshop with his age and good luck.
Under Yang ningxiu’s painstaking efforts, the embroidery workshop has made great progress. In recent years, it has opened a new branch shop in the south of the Yangtze River.
Yang Shun and Yang Hu are checking the goods in the shop. When they hear the sound of footsteps, Yang Hu comes out to meet them in a hurry. “A few guests, what do you want to see? We have…”
The voice was swallowed. Yang Hu scratched his head and laughed, “it turns out that it’s Mrs. Biao. She’s here to look for the lady. She’s talking to the guests on the second floor. She’ll come down in a moment. You’ll have a look inside. There’s a lot of new products coming out recently. Maybe some of them like them.”
“Well, you go and do your work. Don’t call me.”
After Yang Hu retired, he brought him hot tea. Shen Jingli sat down on a stool for guests to sit on. He took out a Book of drawings from the bookshelf. Shen Jingli suggested that Yang ningxiu should make all the drawings from the embroidery workshop into atlas and put them in the shop for guests to open. They can choose the patterns they like, You can also customize your own drawings.
Nianhua put the snacks they bought on the table, looked at the scattered guests in the shop and said, “there are really few people today.””I’m afraid I haven’t recovered.”
There was no new design in the shop recently. Shen Jingli flipped through it for a while, then put the pamphlet back. He picked up the Red Bean Bun on the table and ate it. Just as he was about to touch the bun, he saw a little hand snatching the bun he was going to take. He turned his head and saw a little boy smiling at him, and then he hid under the table.
“Madame, there are thieves.” Nianhua was so scared that he quickly lifted the tablecloth and pulled out the little boy under the table. The little boy was dirty, with mud on his clothes and face. When he was pulled out, he did not run. Instead, he ate red bean packets with a big mouthful. When he saw the ferocious appearance of Nian Hua, he also laughed at him brightly.
“You thief of red bean bag, what are you laughing at? Be careful I hit you.” I can’t see his smile, so I shake my fist to intimidate him.
But he was not intimidated at all. After eating the red bean bag in his hand, he reached out to take the rest of the steamed bun on the table. He reached for his wrist and said, “you still want to eat, you thief.”
“Zixuan, what are you doing?” Yang ningxiu led the guests down from the third floor, and saw Nian Hua holding Lei Zixuan. She was so excited that she didn’t know what she was talking about. She immediately decided that leizixuan was in trouble again.
Read there are outsiders in, Yang ningxiu had to suppress his temper, politely sent the guests out, and then back to take them to the backyard.
“Zixuan, are you in trouble again?” Yang ningxiu will leizixuan carry over, look at her angry appearance, we can see that leizixuan did not less do such a thing.
Lei Zixuan took a big bite of the red bean bag that he had just taken advantage of when he was not paying attention to shun Lai. While eating, he said, “I just ate a bun…”
“Miss Biao, do you know the thief?”
Yang ningxiu gave Lei Zixuan a bad look, bowed to Shen Jingli and said, “sister-in-law, I’m sorry, this child is not sensible and ate your steamed buns. I apologize for him.”
“This is Lei Zhen’s son?” It’s just two red bean buns. He’s not so stingy.
Hearing Shen Jingli mention Lei Zhen, Yang ningxiu blushed with embarrassment and glared at Lei Zixuan. However, Lei Zixuan finished two or three bites of the red bean bag in his hand, reached out and hugged Yang ningxiu and announced in a loud voice, “I am my mother’s son.”
When he said this, Yang ningxiu’s Blush became more fierce, but Shen Jingli laughed. Instead of pestering him with this question, he asked about the recent situation of the embroidery workshop.
“After listening to my sister-in-law’s suggestion, I used a new method to dye more colorful embroidery threads, and the patterns displayed were more colorful, which was very popular with the lady. After that, I was inspired by Ning Xin and worked out… ”
Yang ningxiu looks at Dongling, and Dongling clearly presents a handkerchief.
“It’s strange.” Love will take up the pad to see, “clearly not embroidered, but there is a circle outline.”
“The outline of this circle is exquisite. Many girls and Shuanger in the capital are not good at embroidery, but the red gaitou who wants to get married in the heart wants to do it by themselves. Therefore, we have a good pattern on the handkerchief in advance. The embroiderer only needs to embroider according to the outline of the pattern. Even if the embroidery work is not good, it can also embroider beautiful handkerchief
“It was suggested by the girl Ningxin.” Such a lazy practice must have been brought up by that girl, who was not willing to stay at home to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and needlework cooking.
“That’s right. Last time she was detained by my aunt to learn needlework at home. After learning needlework for a month, she couldn’t even embroider a mandarin duck well. She complained to me about why the embroidered cloth from Xiufang didn’t have a good design first, and she had to work hard to draw her own pattern. As a result, Yuanyang painted like a chicken, and it became a forest fire. Later, I thought that many people had no thorns like Ning Xin The talent of embroidering can solve many people’s troubles if they have a good design outline in advance. ”
“That girl is not lack of talent, she is just lazy.” Yang Ningxin is very skillful. The teachers who teach painting say that she has a strong learning ability and a talent for painting. She just doesn’t make progress and wants to be lazy every day.
“It’s a matter of being lazy. That girl really can’t do meticulous work.” Yang ningxiu laughed, thinking of the business he had just discussed, he was even more happy. “By the way, the second wife of Su family, the largest embroidery family in the south of the Yangtze River, came to talk with me about cooperation in person. She said that she wanted to buy the embroidery thread of our embroidery workshop, and also wanted to buy the patterns of our embroidery workshop.”
There is no patent in this era. Su family is an embroidery family. After seeing the products of the Yang family, they should be able to come up with better products and carry out new reforms in the operation of their own embroidery workshop. However, they did not do so. Instead, they came to talk about cooperation with Yang ningxiu. It can be seen that the Su family is an honest businessman.
“Su’s embroidery is famous for Dayan. I think Bailey is harmless to cooperate with them, so I agreed.” She makes money to deal with the Su family. With the brand of Su family, their business can go further.
Yang ningxiu leads Shen Jingli into the place where she works and tells him the whole story of the cooperation with the Su family. She wants to hear his opinions.
Shen Jingli has no opinion on Yang ningxiu’s cooperation with the Su family. The business is hers. She will naturally consider who she wants to cooperate with. Although he has many ideas ahead of the times, he is not a business talent. He can’t give good advice on many business problems. After talking to Yang ningxiu, Shen Jingli doesn’t come out early City to see the Grange, but went to Shen Yueer’s roast duck shop, took a roast duck back to add food.
