Chapter 561

Shopkeeper Zhao pointed to the shed in front of him and asked, "Are vegetables grown in this shed?"

"Yes!" Zhiqiu nodded.

"Maybe go in and take a look?" Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Shen Wan.

Shen Wan said: "Of course you can."

Zhiqiu took a few steps forward, opening first the door made of straw, and then lifting the linoleum cloth.

Light shone into the shed, and people outside saw the green vegetables.

Shopkeeper Zhao entered the shed and felt that the shed was much warmer than outside. He turned around and found a stove burning firewood next to it. At this moment, although he had a hundred thousand questions in his mind, he did not ask any more questions.

After walking around in the shed, shopkeeper Zhao came out, saying in his heart that this was amazing.

After Wuyi looked around, she thought about how to buy this method of growing vegetables in winter when the master comes.

The group of people simply ate some food at the villa. Since they were eating at the villa, green vegetables were naturally indispensable. The ordinary stir-fried green vegetables with lard and garlic made Shopkeeper Zhao taste the delicious food in the world. This green vegetable gave him Neither the bird's nest nor the shark's fin will be replaced.

After dinner, Shen Wan told Zhi Qiu about Lu Wenqin, and then returned to the city with Shopkeeper Zhang.

The next day, Lu Wenqin walked through the door of Izumo Villa.

The reason why he came to the villa to report after three days was because he was wearing a winter coat that could be seen by others. On the snowy day when the road was slippery, he accidentally fell down and soiled his clothes after returning home from dinner with Mrs. Song. I couldn't report wearing dirty clothes, so I washed the clothes and baked them for two days before they were completely dry.

When Zhiqiu received Lu Wenqin, she handed him the account book she kept on weekdays and asked him to record daily shipments and income and expenditure.

After working for two days, Lu Wenqin felt that the accountant's job was really easy, and he felt really guilty holding two taels of silver.

December 25th is only five days away from the Chinese New Year, and the Chinese New Year atmosphere in the Imperial City is already very strong. A pair of large red lanterns are hung at the entrances of shops and residences on both sides of the street.

The entrance of Zhenbei General's Mansion has also been hung, and the lanterns in this mansion have all been replaced with red ones. The servants in the General's Mansion are also very happy and are looking forward to the New Year. Although they are not children and do not have New Year's money, but in this mansion But the master of the house wants to reward you with red envelopes, and the food during the New Year will be better, with fish and meat in every meal. If you are generous with the guests who come to pay New Year greetings, you can also receive a few rewards!

Everyone is happy and looking forward to the New Year, but Lin Qingxue is very unhappy.

Because she spends money every day giving soup, she also has to prepare New Year's gifts. The Duke has no money, and she has a wide network of friends. More than half of the officials in the imperial city have to give New Year's gifts, and they are not allowed to do so. She was too shabby, and the one hundred and twenty taels were not enough to prepare the New Year's gift. So she put in another three hundred taels of silver herself, and then she prepared a decent New Year's gift to send to Fa Gefu.

Looking at the dwindling banknotes, she felt very anxious. Without any additional income, all her money would be spent. Without money, how could she maintain her generous image, and how could she compete with the people in the imperial city? of ladies coming and going.

On December 26, Lin Qingxue held Mrs. Tang in her arms, standing under the porridge shed and watching the sunset while she scooped porridge to the people who received the porridge.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, she had already given out porridge for more than half a month. She had earned enough reputation, so she thought she would stop giving out porridge today.

"Why is this porridge getting clearer and clearer?" The woman who finished receiving the porridge complained.

Lin Qingxue didn't miss the complaint, and frowned in displeasure. The porridge was clear, but it was good enough for them to eat, but she still complained. Such people who are unsatisfied and ungrateful should be hungry.

Only after death.

Because the price of rice rose too fast, she asked people to put less rice in the porridge, and the porridge was naturally clearer.

After serving porridge, Lin Qingxue told the people at Guanyin Temple that she would no longer serve porridge from tomorrow on, and then returned to the General's Mansion.

next day

When we arrived at the time to give out porridge, there was no porridge giver. The people who came to receive the porridge panicked. When the people at the Guanyin Temple said that the young lady of the Song family would not give out porridge, they all started shouting.
