He smiled hastily: "Why... why do you suddenly say these..."
He swallowed midway, looked at her, suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and gently hugged her.
Forget it, he sounds happy, so why pretend not to care.
In the next few days, Yan Baiwei was in a good mood visible to the naked eye, with a smile on his face and getting everything he asked for.
But Tang Shijin didn't take the opportunity to act coquettishly, nor did he make trouble with him.
She walked step by step from county to county to check out the local customs. Sometimes she would have to try food from two restaurants for a meal, and sometimes she would just buy some specialties on the roadside and finish the meal. She was not squeamish, easy to serve, and even had to do some cooking after getting in the car.
Recording, it looks like he is concentrating on business.
Of course, it was also fruitful, and I have already bought several things.
For example, let's order a batch of silky chickens and ask the chicken farmer to send them over as soon as the weather warms up, ready to be stocked in the bamboo forest...
Most of the chickens raised in the village are reed chickens, and this kind of silky chicken has all black feathers, so it can be distinguished. If someone steals it, it will be difficult to sell and eat, and it has many uses.
Another example is that we have reserved a large number of hawthorn and jujube trees of good varieties and asked people to send them back so that we can make a series of preserves next year.
I even bought an unknown amount of seasoning seeds and the like.
Renyi and others quickly changed their minds from their initial disdain. They felt that this little lady was too reliable, right? She was also too interesting, right?
So now when she stays, everyone gathers together to talk to her.
Yan Baiwei was not surprised at all by this.
She has this ability to make everyone like her. Didn't even a die-hard loyalist like the old housekeeper secretly betray her?
It took ten days in a blink of an eye.
Yan Baiwei was sitting in the carriage and saw that she had been writing with her head down. She had not finished writing after waiting for a long time.
Then Yan Baiwei said: "Jin'er?"
"Um?"
He said: "We will arrive at Song County at noon today and stay overnight. Everyone will also have a rest, and then we will go to Yuanjue Temple early tomorrow morning."
Tang Shijin exclaimed: "Do I need to make any preparations? Or should I just put some sesame oil money on it?"
Yan Baiwei said: "Just keep your clothes neat and tidy, there is nothing special about it."
She asked: "How much should I pay for the sesame oil? Do I need to pay more?"
"It doesn't have to be too much. If you put a few hundred silver, it will be a lot." He thought for a moment, "You can put six hundred silver."
Tang Shijin nodded and continued writing with his head down.
Yan Baiwei said: "What on earth are you writing?"
Tang Shijin said: "Each county's specialties, customs, and places I think are important."
He said: "Do you want to do business?"
"I haven't thought about it yet," Tang Shijin said without raising his head: "Write it down first, I don't know if I can use it later."
Yan Baiwei moved over to sit down and read what she wrote in detail: "In Zhaoshan County, it is common to have a godmother. Almost every child has a godmother, or even more than one..."
"Local men don't like to use fans. Even if they do, they can't have fan pendants, because fans are 'scattered', which means separation."
"It is taboo in restaurants to have turtle seats, two on each side and one at each end. I would rather share the table than share it."
Yan Baiwei was amused: "What are all this? You and I have always walked together, and I didn't even know it."
Tang Shijin said casually: "Then what do you know?"
Yan Baiwei said: "I know that the administration here is still relatively clear. I also know that the crops grew very well in this area last year, and the harvest will be mentioned this year. In addition, the largest landowner in this area is named Wang, and the rent is only 30%.
He is called Wang Shanren, and I also know that there is a large paper mill here, and many people work there, so the family has a small amount of wealth..."
Tang Shijin's eyes widened when he heard this.
Really, if you look at the problem from a different angle, you will see something different.
What he saw, what Renyi and the others saw, and what she saw were all different!
Tang Shijin sighed: "Such a comparison makes me look so tacky and petty."
Yan Baiwei smiled and said: "You are very interesting. After all, even if the county magistrate is changed, the customs will not change."
Tang Shijin nodded.
Then she carefully wrote down everything he said, and she didn't put the notebook away until she got to the place where she was staying.
Because they arrived early today, it was not yet noon, and they had to stay here for two nights, so after lunch, Tang Shijin asked them to buy some things back to prepare for cooking in the evening.
She cooked, and Renyi and the others came over to help.
Tang Shijin was originally worried that they would cause trouble, but she didn't expect that these people were really novices, so Tang Shijin honestly and politely ordered them to kill the chickens and fish, and she would just fry them.
When the food was out of the pot, I saw Renji standing in the courtyard, with a small wound on the back of his hand, and he was squeezing out the blood.
Tang Shijin asked him casually: "Why don't you use my medicine??"
Ren Ji said: "You still need medicine for such a minor injury?"
She said: "It will be better if you don't use medicine!"
While another person was cutting up the fish, he couldn't help but said: "Actually, we have our own medicine."
She said: "So what?"
He said: "Our medicine is a secret recipe made by the royal family. It uses many precious medicinal materials. It is much better than any medicine in the world..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Shijin took out the dagger from his boot and scratched Renji's finger again. Renji was stunned and forgot to avoid it. After a long time, he said: "What are you doing!?"
Tang Shijin said: "You all come here, I will make a bet with you!"
She held up his sleeve and pulled him over: "Look, are these two wounds similar? One applies my medicine, and the other applies your medicine. If yours heals first, I will give you one thousand taels each.
Yin Zi, if mine heals first, you will all call me Jin Ye from now on. Do you want to bet?"
Everyone looked at each other for a few times, and then several people picked up the man's hand to look at it. Someone said: "It's not exactly the same!"
As he said that, he took out his sword and cut it a little, but the other person said again: "It's still not the same length, you can't count it on your hand, I'll do it!"
He also drew his sword and cut it.
The man who was treated as a guinea pig was speechless: "This is my hand! It's not a carrot!"
Several people criticized him: "It's just a small injury, why are you yelling!"
Tang Shijin urged them: "Bet or not?"
Several people responded, "Bet!"
So a group of people gathered around, cleaned the wound on the spot, and started to put medicine on it. They also used a small paper, pinched it, and applied it one by one very carefully to ensure that they would not touch each other. Someone said: "This
The two cuts are too close. If you ask me, it would be better to cut on the other hand..."
Mouse: "..."
Tang Shijin said: "It's okay, just keep them apart."
She first cut a small strip and gently wrapped it in the middle, then bandaged it up. She said with a smile: "Let's make a deal first, you can't cause trouble in private."
The man said confidently: "Don't worry! It's not necessary!"
Yan Baiwei stood in the corridor, frowned at this scene, and sighed.
To be honest, before this, he had never noticed that they had emotions, and he never knew that they could talk so much.
But when they are usually cold and sharp, I don’t think so. The more they talk, the more they feel...a bit stupid??
