When Yan Shiqing heard this, she felt a little discouraged.
Yes, from the end of March to now in Hongwu Kingdom, it rains frequently and it gets hot everywhere.
It seems that she thinks too much.
Suddenly, she looked at Chu Ximo and said, "Ah Mo, our country in Chu is very hot during this period, and it rarely rains, right?"
Chu Ximo was walking around holding Nian An, who was full but had not yet opened his eyes, but was obviously not asleep. Suddenly when he heard Yan Shiqing's words, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you planning to go back to Dachu to sell ice cubes?"
"I do, but you can't go back. Isn't it because of you? You can just go back."
"I'm afraid it won't work this year! It's the end of June now, and it will be the end of July when the child is one month old. I plan to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you here and go back. By the time we get to the capital, it will be the winter months."
Yan Shiqing heard his calculation and felt that it was true.
Alas, it is still modern and convenient. If you need anything, just make a phone call. Wherever you want to go, as long as you are within the country, you can get there on the same day by plane.
"Then let's talk next year. When you want to go back, I will teach you how to do it."
Next year, by this time next year, Nian An might be able to call her father and mother.
Seeing that she was a little listless, Chu Ximo said, "Of the two shops, you can do your beauty business in one, and the other one is a food shop?"
"I want to, but the manpower is limited and the skills are also limited. Who can I turn to?"
"Why don't you ask someone to call Xiaoyun back? I remember that her cooking skills are pretty good. Just ask her to make some farm food. There are many noble people in this capital. I haven't eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas. Maybe I am rare for those farm dishes. Especially this one.
The cook is from Dachu, and no one in the capital has ever tasted this taste."
When Yan Shiqing and Aunt Huo heard this, their eyes lit up. Yes, they never thought of it.
Now that there are two Zhuangzi, wouldn’t it be good if the food used in opening a food shop could be supplied directly from the Zhuangzi?
"Okay, that's it. I'll take this time to think about how to decorate the inside."
She didn't have much silver. Apart from the remaining gold that she and Chu Ximo brought, she had less than 800 taels of silver that could be used.
From this, we have to deduct one hundred taels for the two stable women, leaving two hundred taels for daily expenses and for purchasing Zhuangzi's servants. In addition, when A Mo goes back, he has to pay two hundred taels for travel expenses.
As a result, it seems that there are only less than three hundred taels that can be used.
With less than three hundred taels, it is really difficult to decorate two relatively large shops.
Forget it, if it really doesn't work, go back and get the fifty taels of gold and use it first.
After thinking about this, Yan Shiqing looked at the child again and said to Aunt Huo: "Auntie, during this time, please find out for me which temple is better near the capital."
Aunt Huo also already knew the name of the young master and the girl's heart. She sighed secretly in her heart and nodded: "Yes!"
The next afternoon, it wasn't until she heard Mrs. Xie Chen come to express her gratitude that Yan Shiqing remembered that she had forgotten to ask Xiaowa how the situation was over there in Qianshi Alley.
Because there was a heavy rainstorm in the capital, even if the rain subsided later, it did not stop. This directly caused the entire capital to flood several low-lying places.
If we hadn't deliberately built embankments and planted many trees along the coast out of fear of seawater intrusion, perhaps the entire capital would have been flooded.
Mrs. Xie Chen came all the way and was soaked all over. Fortunately, she brought an extra set of clothes.
After arriving at Jiang Mansion, I changed my clothes, dried my head, and made sure there was no moisture or cold on my body before entering the house.
"Thank you so much, Miss Yan, for your help!"
After Xie Chen saw Yan Shiqing, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to her.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Get up quickly, the ground is very wet!"
Yan Shiqing was ordered by Aunt Huo to stay on the bed and not get up. Seeing Mrs. Xie Chen like this, she felt a little anxious.
After Yan Shiqing spoke, the little boy stepped forward to help Xie Chen up and pulled a stool for her to sit on.
"Sister-in-law, how are you outside now? How is your family? I'm really sorry. I gave birth to a baby suddenly yesterday and I forgot to ask about the baby's condition."
"Thanks to the girl, everything at home is fine. Many people's houses in Qianshi Alley were flooded, including the girl's Yan Mansion. Fortunately, the previous owner of the Yan Mansion renovated it at the beginning of the year, and the drainage is still OK.
, there are many trees, but the flooding is not too severe. Yesterday, Xiaowa arranged for my Xie family and Meng family to live there. This morning I heard that Miss Yan gave birth to a baby. Since the rain has not been so heavy, I came over to have a look.
look."
As Xie Chen spoke, she took out a pair of baby's tiger-head shoes that she held tightly in her arms.
"Sister-in-law is very thoughtful. It's very beautiful. I like it very much. Thank you!"
Xie Chen's family has always been taken care of by Yan Shiqing. When she heard that she liked it, she breathed a sigh of relief and had a happy smile on her face.
"As long as the girl likes it!"
"Sister-in-law, the situation outside is serious now, is there no one in the court to make arrangements?"
"Well, it's quite serious, but now the victims have been placed in one place by the prince. Someone will send out some food and bed quilts at regular times every day. Not only that, there are several doctors waiting there. If anyone feels uncomfortable, they can
It is free to see a doctor. Although the prince cannot walk, he still cares about the people of the world. We, the people of Hongwu Kingdom, are really lucky to have such a prince!"
Xie Chen said with a look of gratitude on her face.
Yan Shiqing blinked when she heard this, and then looked at Chu Ximo who was hiding on one side and buried in a pile of books.
She knew that he went to see Qi Lie again two nights ago when it rained heavily. Could it be that this was his idea?
According to the thinking of Qi Lie and Feng Boyi, this can indeed be done, but at this time, among so many healthy princes, Amo must be able to take the initiative in this matter.
Participate?
Chu Ximo noticed Yan Shiqing's gaze, then raised his head and smiled, and continued to bury his head in the book.
During this period of time, he asked someone to collect a bunch of books, but he didn't know what they were. Could they be geological books from the Hongwu Kingdom?
"How are you doing these days, sister-in-law? I remember that I still have some rice and noodles stored in Yan's house. You guys should eat it first. If you don't have enough, we can talk about it later! It's just that the firewood seems to be running out."
"Thank you Miss Yan for your bodhisattva heart! Yesterday when my family moved there with the Meng family, we also moved all the rice, noodles and other things from home. As for firewood, I still have it at home. Although it is all wet, I will move it over to bake it later.
, can also be burned. Girl, it is a great kindness for us to have a place to stay without having to crowd with the victims. How dare I ask for so much more."
Yan Shiqing felt a little uncomfortable watching her express her gratitude, so she turned sideways and said to Xie Chen, "I think my sister-in-law hasn't seen the child yet, would you like to take a look? Nian'an is sleeping at the moment!"
"
The reason why Mrs. Xie Chen came here was, firstly, to express her gratitude to Yan Shiqing in person. Secondly, she also wanted to meet the child, so as to close the relationship between the next two families.
Now when I hear what Yan Shiqing says, there is no reason why it shouldn’t be done.xdw8
