65 Chapter 65
The few people who were not too concerned about going back this time became even more silent after hearing the hello call.
"Em, why don't we go back? For the sake of their reunion, we'd be frightened. We might as well be at ease here!" Seeing that Hello finally stopped following, Hongying complained a little said.
"Girl, why do you become more unruly when you get older? This is what you can say? The family has been urged several times, not to mention you, even the young master can't be so capricious." Ah Mu looked Looking at Hongying, she said solemnly, "You must remember when you go back, keep your eyes open, keep your legs open, and keep your mouth shut tightly. If you cause any trouble to the young master, can you and I bear it?"
"I know, you've said it many times, do you really think I'm you, I'm just talking here, when I get home, I promise to be tighter than your good mouth, so don't worry." Consciousness Realizing that she really made Eminem worry, Hongying didn't bother to talk back to her as usual, put her arms around her arm, and said obediently.
"You, when will you be able to look stable!" Amu, who was coaxed by her to improve her mood, poked her forehead lightly with her finger, and said angrily.
"You don't have to worry too much, young master. I will pay attention this time when I go back." Seeing Xu Lingyuan kept looking out through the small window, thinking that he was also worried about going back, Ah Mu comforted him.
"En." Xu Lingyuan answered absently, his eyes still looking out of the window.
Unlike Hong Ying, with A Qi around, he won't worry about you.Although they didn't tell the villagers the exact date of their departure, A Qi, who helped look after the house, naturally knew about it.When he first set off, Xu Lingyuan suddenly realized what caring is when he saw the smaller and smaller figures at the gate of the yard as the carriage moved forward, which made him feel a little dazed for a while.
The monotonous snow scene outside could not stop his racing thoughts.At about this time last year, he had just come to this world. He was at a loss and confused and made him choose this place. Although he got to know Fourth Uncle and Zhao Zian later and had his own financial resources, he found that he still liked living here. , enjoy this kind of simple and friendly relationship between people, and are willing to work hard to repay all this.
Although I sent people to remind me many times before, but after I came back, there was nothing to do, it was just a change of place to live.Of course, this is only for them who are the masters. Ever since they came back, Amu and the others have been busy with all kinds of preparations for the New Year, and at the same time they have to worry about him all the time. I can't bear it anymore.
In order not to get in the way, Xu Lingyuan took Xu Siyuan out for a walk from time to time, first to find entertainment for himself, and second, to pay attention to his own financial resources by the way.
Since the rumor, the business of the fourth uncle's family has been going smoothly, and it has become more and more prosperous.Although there was no fresh fruit to sell at this time of the year, and he was only busy with dried and preserved fruits, Fourth Uncle still hired an extra person.
The person was recommended by Han Sheng, named Cheng Jin, a young man about the same age as Han Yue, I heard that he lived next door to them, he was a taciturn and honest person.He originally learned to paint on lanterns from others, but when he was about to leave the teacher, he didn't know why he angered the master, so he was kicked out in a daze, and he was banned from this business forever.Therefore, he, who was worried about making a living for a while, followed Han Sheng here.
"You've been here all day, have you left all the New Year's goods to your elder brother?" Xu Lingyuan asked Han Sheng curiously while he was free.Although he knew that there were only two brothers and sisters in their family, he was very skeptical about Han Yue's ability to do this job.
"Rely on him? It's almost as good as eating the bottom of the pot!" Han Sheng curled his lips and said, completely confirming his suspicion, "I thought he was just a little stupid before, who knew that he would really become a fool."
Xu Lingyuan agreed with her opinion very much, and wanted to know how she found out. Seeing that she was about to continue talking, he pretended to be listening attentively.
"Uncle and the others took pity on us, so they left us here for the New Year. The eldest brother felt very sorry, and I thought that the store was really short of manpower, so I asked him to help. But when he stood in front of the cabinet, he was like a piece of wood. Let others eat whatever they want, and Scale can't understand it, and when he speaks, he can't wait to quote the classics, and the guests are just buying something, not going to school, so who can be impatient." As if finally catching the opportunity to talk, Han Sheng spoke very quickly, "If you fail to study, you will not be as good as Ah Jin in the future."
"Then you let him go back like this?" Xu Lingyuan asked with a smile, wondering if he would be sad because of this, but for a person like him who has no dust in his eyes, probably not.
"Hmph, he thinks, I'll let him go to the back to help pack the candied fruit." Han Sheng went back to work after finishing speaking.
"Senior Brother Han is very afraid of her." After Han Sheng walked away, Xu Siyuan whispered to him.
"That's for his own good." After Xu Lingyuan finished speaking, he took him to the back to find Han Yue.
It turns out that with the popularity of preserved fruits, everyone likes to buy some when buying new year's goods, and they are even regarded as local specialties. Some people come to buy them specially from other places, or locals take them out as gifts.And these people like to buy them in porcelain cans. In order to meet their needs, Han Yue needs to make cans here.
Seeing him slowly filling the candied fruit while muttering something, staring blankly at the candied fruit in his hand from time to time, Xu Lingyuan thought it was a bit funny at first, but after he understood what he said, he felt sorry for him. While feeling admiration for his elegance, it also gave him some other thoughts.
It turned out that Han Yue was chanting about the candied fruit he packed. Although this person spoke too literaryly, these chanting words were not only very delicate, but also described almost all the characteristics of various candied fruits. Words, the effect of publicity should be good.
But how does it work?After discussing this idea with the fourth uncle and the others, they agreed that it is best to attach it to porcelain. In order to avoid the monotony of only poetry, you can also ask someone to draw some patterns of various preserved fruits on it, so that They complement each other, and even illiterate people can recognize the contents inside through these patterns, so as to achieve the purpose of publicity.
It's just that none of this can be achieved in a short time. To attach it to the porcelain, it is natural to re-customize the porcelain, and the poems and paintings painted on the porcelain must first ask someone to draw a sample.Speaking of which, Han Yue can transcribe poems, but for pictures, he needs to hire someone else.
"It's a coincidence, uncle, you don't have to worry about it, just leave it to A Jin." Just when they were thinking about where to find a painter, Han Sheng clapped his hands suddenly and said.
"Although I don't dare to say that I'm proficient, I know some of it." Seeing that his sister didn't recommend him, and he was willing to help with these things instead of packing candied fruit, Han Yue hesitated and recommended himself in a low voice.
"You'd better draw your own wooden beauty, and just leave it to Ah Jin." Han Sheng said without hesitation.Then he ignored him, who was a little injured, and turned to Fourth Uncle and the others and said, "Ah Jin's paintings are just like the real ones, and they will definitely satisfy you."
Fourth Uncle and the others turned their gazes to Ah Jin who had been silent all this time, which made him nervous all of a sudden. He didn't know what to say, but looked helplessly at Han who was speaking for him. Sheng.
"Ah Jin, come here and show the uncles." Han Sheng quickly prepared the paper and pen for the bookkeeping, and then said to A Jin.
"We can trust A Sheng, so please draw a picture for us to see first. If it is good, it will save us from looking for someone everywhere. As for the cost of retouching, we will not treat you badly." Seeing him, the fourth uncle hesitated , followed by encouragement.
Hearing what my fourth uncle said, Ah Jin finally picked up the pen, thought for a while, and drew some candied apples. Although it was drawn with ink, it was exactly as Han Sheng said. If he added color, it must be more lively.Therefore, the fourth uncle made a decision immediately, and Han Sheng and Ah Jin made the sample picture.This also somewhat made the lost Han Yue find some comfort.
Since the production of porcelain takes a long time, Xu Lingyuan asked them to draw some large pictures first, and after polishing, paste them on the large porcelain containing preserved fruits, so that guests can see them as soon as they enter the door.
After discussing this matter properly, Xu Lingyuan went to Zhao Zian's place again.Since the beginning of winter, I learned that he will not return to the city for a while. Besides the Xu family and fourth uncle, the Zhao family also sent people to send a lot of high-quality charcoal. He discusses it.
But before Xu Lingyuan could find him, he took the initiative to come to Xu's house to find someone.It turned out that at this time of year, their house was full of visitors, so he wanted to hide for a while, so he stopped by to ask if Xu Lingyuan had come back.
"Bacon? If it's as delicious as you said, it's worth a try." Zhao Zian said with interest after hearing what he said.
"When did I lie to you?" Xu Lingyuan said with some dissatisfaction.
When tasting the pig-killing dishes of the villagers, Xu Lingyuan learned that all kinds of bacon are marinated here every twelfth lunar month, ranging from pork to chicken, duck and geese, but they are only marinated with salt, and then left to dry naturally outside. After that, you can leave it to eat and cook as you like. According to the patriarch, this kind of bacon can usually be kept in April of the next year, but it will not be eaten any longer.
And in his previous life, his hometown would smoke some bacon every year after it was cured.After the bacon is dried to a certain extent, it is slowly smoked with some pine and cypress branches mixed with firewood. It is said that it takes about a month to smoke, and the aroma of the incense will be strong.
Compared with simple cured bacon, smoked bacon is red and bright, fat but not greasy, rich in smoke, delicious and delicious. In short, Xu Lingyuan likes this kind of meat more, especially the egg fried rice made with smoked sausage. It made him eat for free, and the rest, such as fried peppers and beans, were delicious, but now there were only cabbage and radishes in the cellar.
Another point is that it is said that the bacon smoked with pines and cypresses will not be crawled by mosquitoes even in summer. If it is done well and sealed properly, it can be stored for a year. It is undoubtedly more durable than the bacon here. too much.
Xu Lingyuan originally wanted to make some to taste first, but the pines and cypresses around the village grow in the cemetery, like trees dedicated to cemeteries. It seems very inappropriate for him to go to other people's ancestral graves for a meal. , and even make people angry.Therefore, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the Zhao family. With the strength of their family, these shouldn't be difficult, right?As for the specific operation of the bacon, there should be no problem with the master of the roast duck, at least Xu Lingyuan thinks so.
"You really read these from the books? Why didn't I find such a strange book?" Zhao Zian asked unwillingly after accepting it.
"I haven't traveled far, so did I dream about it?" Xu Lingyuan said calmly. Since the printing industry here is not very developed, there are many hand-copied lonely books and fragments, so there is no need to worry about being caught. debunk.
"Haven't you ever thought about running your own business?" Zhao Zian, who was blocked by his words, asked again, "If you feel that the status of a scholar is inconvenient, you can become a business assistant for my elder brother, which is better than staying in that rural club .”
"Did your family never think about opening a branch?" Xu Lingyuan asked him instead of answering his question.
He also only recently really understood the strength of the Zhao family. It was just the bodyguard bureau. In addition to the bodyguards, he also brought along some merchants who followed him, and some letters. Communication is integrated, and there are people in the court. It should be easier to open a branch in another place, right?And it can also provide convenience for the bodyguards along the way, why not do it?
