It was also the first time for Tian Minyan to come to Henghe. As soon as she entered the inner city and opened the curtain, a large smell of sea mixed with the sea breeze hit her nostrils.
Tian Minyan couldn't understand the geography. It was just a neighboring county. Why didn't Qingping County have a sea? She once asked Tian Huairen, but Tian Huairen said that there was, but it was just a small seaport, very far away from Taiping Town.
Since it is a coastal city, there are naturally countless seafood. The vendors on the street are all selling seafood. Some seafood are even placed in large wooden basins on the roadside. When Tian Minyan saw it, her mouth was watering.
Seafood, seafood, what a long-lost food, she swallowed, her eyes glowing blue.
"Second girl, should we go to the county government office or find an inn to stay first?" Xie Chengzhong poked his head in from the car's shaft and asked.
Before coming, their family had agreed that they couldn't agree not to see the old man when they came to Henghe. However, the courtyard over the county government office was also very small, so Tian Minyan suggested not to stay there, so as not to end up with them, but instead stay in an inn.
It's not that Tian Minyan and the others are going to spend the money they earn now, but that she really doesn't want to live with those top-notch people, so spending some money for peace and quiet is not worth it.
"Let's go to the inn first. It's not too late to go there after taking a rest and freshening up." Tian Minyan thought for a while and said.
"okay."
Dongsheng Inn is not far from the county government. The geographical environment is quiet and elegant, and it is also neat and clean. Tian Minyan recognized Xie Chengzhong's vision and praised it.
"I've been with you for a long time, Miss Second, but I still don't know your temperament, Miss?" Xie Chengzhong smiled a little sheepishly.
When Bai Mei heard this, she glanced at him indifferently, and he became a little embarrassed and just moved his luggage into the car.
Tian Minyan saw the funny thing and didn't say anything. She took Bai Mei and the others and followed the waiter into the house first.
"Second Brother, I see there seem to be a lot of literati gathering downstairs, but what's going on?" Tian Minyan entered the room and asked the waiter who was leading the way with a smile.
"Young lady, you don't know. The young Marquis of Yong'an has set up a poetry club in order to make friends with literati. He will hold the first poetry club at the Lotus Terrace tomorrow night. No, these guys have a bit of ink in their stomachs.
All the young masters are here." The waiter skillfully picked up a tea cup, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "Speaking of the lotus terrace, which covers an area of ten miles, it is the annex of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. People on the side thought
When you go in, you have to be friendly to appreciate the scenery of ten miles of lotus flowers."
"So, have you seen the second brother before?" Tian Minyan said with a smile.
"I'm lucky enough to have sent snacks there several times. Tsk tsk, that's really not a place for mortals. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a Penglai fairyland." The waiter squinted and remembered the scenery, and said with a smile: "
This lotus terrace is one of the ten scenic spots in Henghe."
"That's right. It's a pity that we are not men, otherwise we would definitely go and see the Penglai Wonderland you mentioned." Tian Minyan said hehely.
"Hey, girl, it's not just men who can get in this time. This gathering of friends with poems was organized by the young prince and his wife. It is said that the prince's wife also invited many ladies from aristocratic families to come. Do you know any of them?
You can also go with me."
"That's all, I'm just here to do some small business, and these literati and poets' stuff is not for a rough guy like me to play with." Tian Minyan smiled and shook her head and said: "Little brother, do you know Henghe
Do fishermen usually catch the kelp themselves and distribute it to vendors, or is it sold in large quantities?"
"Oh, this kelp is a cheap thing. It costs three kilograms for one penny. Girl, what are you going to do? You can buy it everywhere. Most of the vendors sell it to the fishermen. It's so cheap..."
When Tian Minyan heard that one penny was worth three kilograms, she was delighted. What a bargain.
He deduced a lot of information from the waiter at the inn. Tian Minyan was in a good mood and rewarded him with about ten dollars. The waiter didn't feel like it was too little and accepted it with a smile.
"One penny and three catties. The one penny and one catty that the vendor in Taiping Town sold before has completely quadrupled. Black." Bai Mei frowned and calculated.
After hearing this, Tian Minyan laughed and said: "Actually, that waiter is kind. You see, the merchants who batch the goods from the fishermen then transport them to Qingping County by carriage and horse, and Qingping then transports them to Taiping Town.
, the merchants in Taiping Town will be approved one level at a time, and they will always make some money."
Bai Mei thought for a while and said a little shyly: "I didn't expect this."
"Learn slowly. So, if we want to get cheap goods, we have to look for them from the source. Without a few layers of people in the middle, we can save some money. Of course, if we can't find them, they are expensive.
Point, if you want to do that business, you have to get it."
"Is this the only kind of kelp that can produce the kind of grain you mentioned?"
"Monosodium glutamate." Tian Minyan said: "Actually, this is not the case. This substance is also contained in the protein of soybeans and wheat, but I don't know how to refine those things."
She originally studied agriculture and had only a limited understanding of physics. She also accidentally saw simple methods like kelp on the Internet.
Bai Mei only knew a little about what the nouns were. She only knew that the thing coming out of kelp was called monosodium glutamate, and it was a good seasoning.
"But since kelp is so cheap, we'll just use kelp. If we make too much, we'll just sell it to your shop, so we don't have to worry about not making any money." Tian Minyan smiled slyly.
Ten kilograms couldn't produce much MSG, so she made more and sold it to your company at a sky-high price. She opened the first MSG factory here.
After a short rest, Bai Mei helped Tian Minyan wash up, then met up with Tian Huairen and the others, and headed to the county government office with the gifts.
When they arrived at the county government office, Tian Minyanfu bumped into a seductively dressed woman as soon as she got out of the car.
"Oh, who's blind?" The woman was furious and scolded: "Why don't you go out with your eyes on the street?"
This voice was very familiar. Tian Minyan looked up and looked at the woman, but it was not who she was but one of her mortal enemies, Tian Minqing.
Tian Minqing naturally recognized Tian Minyan, and after being stunned for a moment, she screamed: "Tian Minyan, how could it be you? What are you doing here?"
She looked Tian Minyan up and down. Her father said that the third wife was now rich and wealthy, but she still didn't believe it. She thought that how could such a poor place be so rich, but Tian Minyan's appearance made her eyes turn red all of a sudden.
She is dressed in an aqua blue dress, her two buns are pinned with delicate beads, and there is a long aqua blue ribbon tied behind her head. There is no decoration on her hands, except for a small jadeite ring on her index finger.
, so pretty.
Tian Minyan's figure has become much taller. She was already slim and lean. Although she is not gorgeous in what she wears, she is no worse than that young lady from aristocratic family. It adds a bit of elegance.
Tsk, the damn girl looks much prettier than before. With this thought in her mind, Tian Minqing felt a sour breath coming out of her mouth.
"Oh, isn't this Yan girl? Why did you come at this time? But what's the matter?" Mrs. Li came out of the sedan, saw Tian Minyan, walked forward with her big buttocks, and took another look at the carriage, there was no one else there.
Then he asked, "Are you here? Where are your parents, brother Rui and the others?"
"Second aunt, second sister, we haven't seen you for a long time." Tian Minyan greeted her with a faint smile, wondering if Mrs. Li was wearing all the gold and silver jewelry on her body? She was dressed up like a fat peacock.
At this time, Tian Huairen also came around from the other side of the carriage. When he saw Mrs. Li, he was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and called: "Second sister-in-law."
"Hey, the third aunt is here too." When Mrs. Li saw Tian Huairen dressed in new clothes, she asked, "Isn't her third aunt here?"
"Sanniang is now a month old. The doctor said she shouldn't run around. She is at home." Tian Huairen said lightly.
"Oh, then go inside and talk. My parents are at home now." Mrs. Li said oh, then walked up to the corner door and called: "Mother Sun, your third master is here, go and help him get his luggage."
The gatekeeper came over muttering reluctantly, glanced into the carriage, and glanced at her mouth. Tian Minyan didn't like it, so she said to Xie Chengzhong: "Brother Xie, take it, so as to save others from being rough."
The thick foot broke the wine given to the old man."
"Why."
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun was a little embarrassed. She glanced at Tian Minyan and saw that her eyes were cold and a little sharp. She shrank her neck and said with a flattering smile: "Girl, if you have any other luggage, let me take it. No need to bother you."
Sir."
"It's nothing, just go and do your work, I don't need you." Tian Minyan said coldly.
I had heard that the courtyard here in Henghe River was small. Tian Minyan really didn't expect it to be this small. It was more than half the size of the old house in Yangmei Village. There were only two entrances. The first entrance was for the servants.
There are many houses. I heard that Erlang Sanlang of the second room also lives in this side of the house. The second entrance is the main courtyard with six rooms. The main room is in the middle and is occupied by the old man and the Jiang family. The other rooms are all full.
There are people living there.
Tian Minyan shook her head while looking at it, thinking that if she wanted to live here, she would rather spend more money to rent a small yard outside. Is this full of sardines crowded?
Arriving at the door of the main room, Mrs. Li shouted loudly that the third child was here. Mr. Tian hurriedly came out to welcome him. He was very happy to see Tian Huairen: "Second child, why did you come without saying a word? Come inside quickly.
Go sit."
"father."
"Grandpa."
"Old man."
Tian Minyan and others met with Mr. Tian respectively to give gifts. Xie Chengzhong went inside and put down the gifts they brought, and then went down with Bai Mei.
Mrs. Jiang was sitting cross-legged on the kang, with her back straight and her eyes as sharp as if they were facing the earth, glaring at Tian Huairen and his daughter.
Tian Huairen, his father and his daughter saw Li Xingren again and then sat aside.
"Mom, are you feeling better?" Tian Huairen sat down and asked.
"Thanks to the third master, the old woman is still alive and can't die." Jiang sneered, looked at him sideways and asked: "The third master is not at home to guard Jin Qiaoda, what are you doing here? You want to see me, this old woman.
Are you dead? Don’t worry, my wife has many descendants, so even if she dies, you don’t need to carry flags or buy water.”
As soon as Jiang's words came out of his mouth, it was sharp and prickly. Tian Huairen's face turned red, while Tian Minyan's expression was expressionless. She had already expected this to happen.
After hearing this, Mr. Tian shouted: "Lao San and the others are here once in a blue moon. What are you doing, interrogating prisoners? You are so stingy, you only think about that idea to ruin things, and your words are full of bone spurs.
, no peace of mind.”
"What's wrong with me? I'm bothering you by asking him a few words? Ah? He's still a kid from my intestines, so I can't ask him anymore?" Jiang's eyes widened and she said loudly: "I'm telling the truth.
, as a human being, you must know the conscience of heaven and earth.”
"I'm too lazy to tell you, you're just a stubborn person." Mr. Tian glared at her, then smiled and said to Tian Huairen: "Are you two father and daughter the only ones here? Why don't the three sisters-in-law come, and Brother Rui and the others?
.”
"Grandpa, my mother is about to give birth, and the road is bumpy. My brother and Xiaowu both have to go to school in the town, so they can't come." Tian Minyan answered instead of Tian Huairen.
"Oh, it's like this again. Third Master, please pay close attention to that green hat on your head. You haven't taken it off yet, so I added another one." Mrs. Jiang snorted and said sarcastically.
"Mom!" Tian Huairen said with a sullen face, "I said it was nothing, why did you just hold on to me?"
"Hmph! You are being fooled by people, you are a fool, you believe them when they say a few nice things, but you don't even know that they are treating you as a fool." Mrs. Jiang snorted.
"That's enough for you!" Mr. Tian shouted loudly: "You don't care about the occasion when you talk, and you spit out shit all over your mouth. Who are you going to offend? If you don't want to listen, just lie down."
"You..." Jiang Shi was so angry that he was about to explode. He accidentally saw Tian Minyan's cold eyes, and then thought of Luo Shi. He snorted heavily and lay down on the kang, carrying everyone on his back.
.
Tian Minyan withdrew her eyes and sneered in her heart. Some people are always like this. After the scar is healed, they forget about the pain and have nothing to do.
"Ignore her, you're just a bully." Mr. Tian was helpless towards Jiang and asked in a calm tone: "Then what are you doing here? The autumn harvest is coming soon, why don't you come back after the busy farming season?
You can also stay longer.”
"Dad, we are just here to do some errands. We want to see you and mother. We won't be here for a few days. Once this matter is done, we have to go home."
"Doing something? What are you doing? But you need help from your eldest brother? You are brothers. If your eldest brother can help, just say it." After hearing this, Mr. Tian quickly said: "Don't imitate that polite person, the whole family is not like that."
That’s particular.”
"It's just a small matter. There's no need to use uncle. We're just doing some small business." Tian Minyan said with a smile.
As soon as he heard that it was business, Ms. Li, who had been standing silently, her eyes immediately lit up, and she hurriedly asked: "Oh, third child, what kind of business are you trying to mess with? Let your second sister-in-law and I share the same share."
.”
Sanfang has been doing business, which one is not profitable? Look at Yan Yatou's outfit, even the third child is dressed appropriately. As long as you follow Sanfang, can you not make money?
When Tian Minyan looked at Mrs. Li's wandering eyes, she raised the corners of her mouth and said, "It's not a business, I just want to come here to buy some seaweed to take home. Second Aunt wants to buy it, so of course she can."
Buy kelp?
As soon as Tian Minyan's words came out, Mrs. Li curled her lips and said: "Girl Yan, even if you don't want your two aunts to get married, you don't have to use this to prevaricate me, right? Come all the way to Henghe to buy kelp? That thing
Who likes to eat fishy and smelly food?"
Mr. Tian also frowned, looked at Tian Huairen and asked: "Third brother, if you need any help, just ask, your elder brother will help you."
"Dad, we are really here to buy kelp, but..."
"Grandpa, you know that our family has a restaurant, right? We are going to use this kelp in the restaurant." Tian Minyan hurriedly stopped Tian Huairen's words and continued, giving him a subtle wink.
Then he hummed.
Mentioning the shop opened by Tian Huairen and the others, the old man had a complicated look on his face, because when Lao San and his friends opened their shop, they did not invite him to sit down. It is said that many people came there, as well as the Liu family.
Thinking of this, the old man smiled: "I heard that you opened a shop, is the business okay?"
"Everything is fine." Tian Huairen said with a smile.
"His third uncle, you are in big business now. When this shop opened, it was like a big restaurant, but you are not like it. You didn't invite your second brother and sister-in-law to seek blessings when it opened. Even if you didn't invite us, you should
Please invite our father and mother." Mrs. Li said sourly.
She heard Tian Huaifang say that Tian Minyan's shop was doing very well, but they had to queue up early every day to buy chickens, or they had to make reservations in advance.
It's no wonder that the people in the third house are dressed differently now. With such a big shop, they can't count the money every day. It's not like them. When they came here, the money bag was still held tightly by Jiang.
My son went out to dress up Qing Yatou and the others, and all the things he bought had to be recorded in the account, so there was not much left.
"Second Aunt, we don't have any relatives when the shop opens. These are all people who deal with business. Even my uncle and the others didn't invite them." Tian Minyan said lightly: "Just opening a shop is not a big deal, nor is it a big deal.
So that my grandfather and I can run back and forth bumpily."
"Nothing, as long as you live a good life, it doesn't matter whether you sit down or not." The old man was very generous after hearing this. He hesitated for a moment and asked again: "I heard from your aunt that the shopkeeper hired by your shop is
A heretic?"
Jiang had always turned his back to them. When he heard this, he climbed up from the kang again, glared at Tian Huairen angrily, and said coldly: "No, third child, you are stupid and you still don't recognize it, ah
?Your eldest brother-in-law has been the shopkeeper for many years. Why don't you invite him to open a shop instead of hiring an outsider? Now you would rather trust outsiders than your own family?"
"What did my grandma say? My eldest uncle is doing well in the He family. Why should we ruin his future? People say that it is hard to be a pioneer in land reclamation. It is tiring and thankless. Our shop has just opened. This is what we have to do."
There are so many things to do, maybe we want my eldest uncle to work as a pioneer ox?" Tian Minyan said strangely: "My eldest aunt also said, why would anyone care about my eldest uncle, so why would he come to our place to work as a pioneer ox?
"
"You..." Jiang was choked by Tian Minyan and stared, speechless.
In fact, the eldest uncle has been dismissed by the He family and is currently at home. It is hard for Jiang to talk about his son-in-law being dismissed, especially when Tian Minyan said such things. If this means that the He family does not want him, what will happen?
Isn't it self-defeating and self-contradictory?
Tian Minyan also knew about it. It was the day Mrs. He was humiliated by Mrs. Fang. She heard that Mrs. He had directed all her anger at Tian Huaifang. She believed that she was the one who brought her forward and was humiliated, so she took her anger out on her husband-in-law.
He resigned and asked his nephew to take over.
After hearing this, the old man didn't know what to say. He just changed the subject and said: "You must be tired after coming all the way. Second sister-in-law, go clean up the house and let them rest. Let's have dinner together in the evening."
, and drink two cups too.”
"Old man, where is the room here? The former sister-in-law said that if Brother Lin wants to marry him, he should have a room by himself first. There is no room here." Mrs. Li curled her lips after hearing this.
The old man's face sank, and just as he was about to speak, Tian Minyan said: "Grandpa, there's no need to work, we stopped at the inn before we came."
"Why stay in an inn? There is a place for you to live here, and this is also your home. Go back out quickly and move your luggage back. Why should you stay in an inn if you can't live in your own place?" The old man became anxious after hearing this.
, and said repeatedly: "Hurry up and call someone to return it, and you will save some money."
"Dad, don't be too busy. We didn't spend a lot of money. We live in an ordinary lower room." Tian Huairen said hurriedly: "Brother, there are many people here and it's not easy to crowd. Besides, I'm coming back with a
The girl and the long-term worker also need a place to live, right?"
"No, Dad, the third child said no. Now that they are rich, they can't afford to live in an inn, so why bother with us?" Mrs. Li said hurriedly.
"Sister-in-law, shut up." The old man glared at her.
"If you can't live in love, don't worry about it. Others think you are begging for someone to live with you. I don't know what your intentions are." Jiang Shi stabbed him in a non-yinful way, and gave him two daggers in the eye.
To Tian Minyan and his daughter.
Tian Huairen fell silent after hearing this. Tian Minyan sneered, but did not show any signs of it, and said: "Grandpa, we can't stay long, only two nights at most. We have to be busy at home. We bought kelp and we are going back tonight.
First, you and my dad have a drink and talk, and then we can go back to the inn to stay."
The old man frowned and hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Okay, Sister-in-law, please go to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Why doesn't Sister-in-law come back?"
"Yeah, I've been here for so long, why don't I see my uncle and aunt?" Tian Minyan looked around, could she be avoiding them?
"Your aunt and uncle took Zhuang Yatou and the others to a banquet with the county lady. I'm afraid they won't be able to come home for a while." Mrs. Li said sourly.
"Oh, what about my second uncle? And that little aunt, no one is there."
Tian Minyan pretended to be ignorant and asked, and the faces of Li and Tian Minqing changed.
"Girl Yan, who is that coquettish fox your little aunt? Bah!" Mrs. Li roared with her hands on her hips.
"Tian Minyan, you are bullying me!" Tian Minqing walked up to Tian Minyan with murderous intent and cursed fiercely.
Seeing their posture, Tian Minyan quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Well, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."
She knew if it was a slip of the tongue, why did Tian Minqing look so displeased with her, and Mrs. Li, who would add a few words from time to time, how could she be worthy of them if she didn't return the greeting gift?
