After coming out of He Mansion, Tian Minyan's feet went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Bai Mei supported her with quick eyes and hands, frowning and asked with concern: "Girl?"
Tian Minyan smiled bitterly and shook her head. At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, and she shivered violently. Only then did she realize that her back was completely soaked. When the wind blew, she felt the chill running down her spine.
It spread to the whole body and was so cold that it penetrated people.
At this time, she no longer had the calmness and calmness that she had when she faced King He Ba in the He Mansion. Instead, she felt a sense of fear.
Yes, fear!
She knows very well that in this era, there is no so-called equality for everyone. Compared with modern times, power makes people feel more frightened and frightened. The people cannot fight against the officials, the officials cannot fight against the nobles, and the nobles cannot fight against the imperial power and the royal family.
In the past, she taught Tian Minrui that people are neither noble nor humble. This is true, but when it comes to noble people, they, commoners, are just insignificant dust on the ground. As long as the people above them move their fingers, they will be destroyed.
Disappeared silently into the world.
She dared to throw a ladle of dirty water at He BaWang today just because He BaWang was just a speck of dust compared to them. If it were a nobleman or a royal family, would she dare to do this?
The answer is absolutely no. There is no other way but to bow your head and obediently comply with the other party's request. Otherwise, just wait to die. It doesn't matter if you die, you have to take your family with you.
Tian Minyan was actually betting on He Bawang's arrogance and that he would not easily cause trouble for his cheap brother-in-law, the deputy governor. You have a backing, and so do I. Moreover, I, the MSG Emperor, have agreed that I am going to be a tribute.
Yes, if you dare to snatch something from the emperor's hands, you are seeking death.
Of course, tigers should not be provoked into a hurry. Tian Minyan also knew about giving a sweet date a slap in the face. When necessary, she would also soften her body and smooth the tiger's fur.
After explaining the stakes clearly, he paid another five hundred taels in compensation, and the old man apologized personally. He Bawang accepted the offer half-heartedly. Of course, there is another prerequisite, that is, Erlang should not be caught by him, and do not appear in front of him.
, otherwise, I don’t know what he would do.
Tian Minyan didn't care about this. She promised to help solve the matter, but she didn't promise to keep Erlang for the rest of her life. If Erlang had any brains, he would not appear in Yokogawa or in front of He Bawang in the future.
"Bah! You're an old man, and I have someone on my head. Oh, it hurts me so much." Tian Huaixiao spat in the direction of the door of He Mansion and cursed bitterly.
Tian Minyan had a sullen face. This kind of person really didn't shed tears until he saw the coffin. It seemed that he had not been taught enough.
"Second uncle, this is still Bawang He's place. I advise you to keep your mouth shut, otherwise, who knows whether you will see the second uncle's person or his corpse next time." She warned coldly.
The old man's expression changed and he glared at Tian Huaixiao fiercely: "Shut up, you think you haven't caused enough trouble?"
"Damn girl, this is a Chinese New Year, you are cursing me." Tian Huaixiao said disapprovingly: "I'm afraid of him. My Erlang disappeared in his house. If you make me unhappy, I will go
Accuse him of murder. Dad, you shouldn't have given him five hundred taels. He should have compensated us. We will suffer a big loss this time."
Tian Minyan was disdainful. This man was really hopeless. He couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Second uncle, it's better not to do such stupid things. Everyone knows whether Erlang was really murdered or someone helped him escape.
, as long as a caring person investigates carefully, I believe the truth will come to light. The thief’s strategy of catching the thief by shouting did not work well, so he had to draw fire and burn himself.”
After hearing this, Tian Huaixiao's face changed slightly, his eyes flashed a few times, and he said uncomfortably: "I don't know what you are talking about. Who helped Erlang escape? Oops, the wound hurts."
As he yelled, he glanced at Tian Minyan from the corner of his eyes, wondering how this damn girl seemed to have seen the scene?
"When you go back and see this King He, please stay away from me. I don't have five hundred taels of silver left at home." The old man frowned and spoke with a heavy tone.
Tian Minyan said nothing at the moment and walked forward with Bai Mei. The old man looked at her back and pursed his lips, remembering the conversation he had with Tian Minyan before returning to Henghe.
"I can help solve such a matter, but only this time, and no matter what I do, you are not allowed to interfere. Don't talk about celebrating the New Year but not the New Year, and don't talk about direct blood. The so-called one generation, two representatives, we
They all separated and lived in separate families. Helping is a favor and not helping is a matter of principle. Grandpa, if you indulge them too much, you will only cause trouble and try to repay the kindness. This kind of friendship will eventually disappear. Grandpa, before the uncle comes to become an official
I told you that you must restrain the eldest uncle and the second uncle, otherwise not only will the official position be failed, but the family will also be implicated."
Tian Minyan's cold words were still in his ears, which made him feel depressed and frightened at the same time. Thinking of the series of things that happened after coming to Yokogawa, he couldn't help but become vigilant.
But despite this, he was also shocked by Tian Minyan's cold expression, because when she said those words, she was cold and ruthless, and she didn't treat herself as a member of the Tian family and the people in the second bedroom were not her relatives. If
Not for the way she and the third child interacted so intimately and without any barriers, he really thought that this was not his granddaughter.
The old man really thought it wrong. Tian Minyan really didn't think of them as close relatives. She was not the Holy Mother. The people in the second room of the big house kept plotting against her and their third room. It was already a kindness of her not to beat her up. This time she was just helping.
For the sake of Tian Huairen's distress, she was actually determined to lose. If nothing happened, she would contribute the MSG recipe.
Before coming to the He Mansion, she had already inquired about He Bawang's personality, asked the matter clearly, and then forced the old man to pay for it. The eldest family took the most money. I believe Mrs. Chen and the others hated her to the core, but this
What does it have to do with her? Do you still need money from her?
Mrs. Chen really gritted her teeth with hatred, and Tian Minzhuang wanted to eat Tian Minyan's flesh and blood, because many of the silver jewelry taken out this time were spit out from her dowry. How could she not hate this?
"Tian Minyan, you bitch, let's see if I don't give her a few big bucks. Mother, how can I get married with such a small dowry? I won't get married." Tian Minzhuang stepped on his wedding dress hard on the ground and said
Having a temper.
"My ancestor, this wedding dress cost a lot of money, how can it withstand your waste?" Mrs. Chen hurriedly picked up the wedding dress and said, "Don't worry, we won't suffer this loss in vain.
, we will find our place soon."
"Mom? Do you have any idea?" Upon hearing this, Tian Minzhuang looked at Mrs. Chen with twinkling eyes.
Mrs. Chen smiled mysteriously, rolled her eyes in circles, and said nothing.
Mr. Tian brought Tian Huaixiao back home with a bruised nose and swollen face. Little Taohua ran up screaming with a big belly. She hugged Tian Huaixiao and cried for a while. Mrs. Li slowed her down and gritted her teeth in hatred, so she had to do it aside.
Stare.
Tian Huaixiao was deeply touched by his concubine's care and concern for a while. He thought it was better to be a concubine.
The old man's face was gloomy when he saw it, and he called everyone into the main room for a lecture. Tian Minyan said: "Old man, now that this matter has been resolved, I am ready to return to Qingping County."
Mrs. Chen was stunned after hearing this, then she stepped forward with a smile and said: "What are you saying, girl? How can you say that you have come today and left today? My eldest aunt has already prepared a wing for you. You can't leave after playing for two days."
Chi, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Henghe is very lively at night."
Chen's enthusiasm made Tian Minyan very resistant. She quietly withdrew her hand and said, "It's just because the Chinese New Year is about to come that I have to go back urgently. Moreover, we will move to a new house tomorrow, so we have to go back no matter how late it is."
The third house has built a new house, and everyone in the second house and the big house knows it. After hearing this, all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred appeared on the faces of the people present. Compared with the third house, which is living a prosperous life, they are living a useless life.
It's too much, and I spent so much money on a second house, I'm afraid I'm going to be sad this year.
"We're not in a hurry right now. Our county magistrate's wife said she wanted to see your child a while ago, so she has no time to spare. Now that she's here, she'll come with me for a visit." Ms. Chen was a little anxious. If this girl leaves,
How can she get back those hundreds of taels of silver?
Seeing her look like this, Tian Minyan secretly increased her vigilance and darkened her face. Are these people not plotting her death all the time? They came all the way to help solve this mess, and now they are plotting against her again.
Do you really think she is a little sheep?
"No, I'm just a rude village girl who can't stand on the stage. If I say the wrong thing in front of my wife, I'll make a big joke." Tian Minyan would not give her a chance to scheme, thinking that she would finish the shopping later.
Just leave immediately, even if she wears the stars and the moon, she will leave.
"Tian Minyan, don't be so shameless. Who do you think you are?" Tian Minzhuang saw that she was so arrogant, and his anger at the unfair dowry was suddenly raised to a high level.
"She can leave if she wants to. What should she leave behind?" Jiang shouted.
Tian Minyan didn't even bother to look at them. She just looked at Mr. Tian and said, "Grandpa, I have to buy some New Year items, so I'll go first."
Seeing her like this, the old man felt angry, but he couldn't get angry. He said calmly: "You go ahead, and we will talk about other things after we come home for dinner." After saying that, he walked into the main room.
Tian Minyan raised her eyebrows, knowing that the old man was unhappy, but so what? She would not get involved in the affairs of the second bedroom and let them cause trouble.
Mrs. Chen felt angry when she saw Liu Tian Min's appearance, but she still happily persuaded Liu Tian and said: "Yan girl, please remember to come home for dinner."
Tian Minyan didn't say anything, she just raised her eyelids and left with Bai Mei.
Tian Minzhuang was furious when he saw this. This bitch was too arrogant. He wanted to curse immediately, but was pulled away by Mrs. Chen, who licked her lips in the direction of the main room. She then stamped her feet indignantly.
After leaving the farm house, Tian Minyan took a long breath. The air outside was better.
"Girl, where are we going now?" Bai Mei glanced at the sky and frowned: "It looks like it will snow today, I'm afraid there will be a heavy snow."
Tian Minyan also glanced at the dark sky and said: "Let's go to Mr. Du to talk about next year's operations, then buy some local products, and then leave."
She came to Henghe in person not only because of Erlang's troubles, but also to talk to Boss Du about the supply of kelp next year. Lou Shaoqing said that he had a monopoly on Henghe's kelp, but Tian Minyan knew that Boss Du had a hand in
He didn't have to go through that line, but because of the advent of MSG, kelp has now become a valuable commodity. In the past, one penny could buy five kilograms, but now the price has greatly increased.
The meeting with Mr. Du was in a teahouse. Since time was tight, the two of them were not polite and talked about business.
"Nowadays, older people know that kelp is a good thing for refining MSG. What used to be a cheap thing has now become valuable. To tell you the truth, in some places, kelp has been sold for two cents per pound."
Boss Du said with a wry smile.
In the past, he didn't know that such good things could be made from kelp, and it was surprising that it was sold at such an expensive price. Nowadays, it is difficult to get even a penny per pound of kelp.
Tian Minyan frowned, thinking that the price of kelp had suddenly been raised so high. This was not a good thing. After all, the raw materials were expensive, and the cost was high. But she did not despair, after all, she was already trying to use corn and rice.
When the grain raw materials that can extract sodium glutamate are refined, and if they can be produced, their Tianji's MSG will only be purer and more refined.
"It's not a problem to raise the price. How much can Mr. Du charge now?" Tian Minyan asked.
"Can Miss Tian accept two cents per catty?" Mr. Du asked in surprise: "If you can accept it, I still have a way to collect it from a remote fishing village."
Tian Minyan smiled bitterly and said: "Don't talk about two cents, even five cents. At this juncture, I can only grit my teeth and take it. Of course, it will be difficult to say in the future. Our Tian Ji is trying to develop it with other objects. If it succeeds, kelp will not be the main one."
That’s it.”
Boss Du frowned after hearing this and asked tentatively, "Then the seaweed girl won't want it anymore?"
Tian Minyan knew what he was thinking. She just wanted to raise the price, but she was afraid that the price would be too high. Tian Minyan would not want it anymore in the future, especially if she said intentionally or unintentionally that she would use other items to replace it, so she would still have some ideas. But in business,
A businessman strives for the best interests for herself. She will not always let the other party raise prices. As long as it is not excessive, the business can still be done.
"It's not that I don't want it, it's just that it's not that important." Tian Minyan answered in confusion. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said: "As long as the price is fair, we at Tianji will still buy it aggressively."
"Don't worry, Miss Tian. I, Boss Du, have always been very particular about city character. When doing business with a girl, I will naturally not retort casually." Boss Du chuckled: "Don't worry, next year we will still provide kelp to Tian Ji first, you see.
Price?"
"According to Boss Du's wishes, two pennies per catty, no matter how much more, we Tian Ji can't afford it." Tian Minyan said with a smile.
"Miss Tian is indeed a cheerful person." Mr. Du laughed loudly after hearing this. He offered Tian Ji two cents per catty. As for how much he and others paid for the purchase, it was his own business.
