Soon, the twenty-three of the new year will arrive.

Chen Nianguan, Liu Chi and the others got up early, dressed in men's clothes as before, put a cotton jacket over Chenjia Hor Fun, and then went to the state capital in a donkey cart full of sauced jerky.

It was different from the last time when he was in a daze. After paying the 100 Wen per person to enter the city, Chen Nianguan went straight to the place where the stall was set up last time, and found that someone was already waiting.

"You guys, do you sell jerky in Chen's sauce?" The two looked at them and asked uncertainly.

Chen Nianguan nodded, and then worked separately with Liu Chi and the others. Those who hung up the tricks hung up the tricks, those who moved the tables moved the desks, and those who carried the sticks took the sticks.

When the two saw that they had opened their doors, they said, "It's true. Just wait!" They left such an inexplicable sentence and left.

Not waiting to buy jerky with sauce, Chen Nianguan was still a little disappointed, seeing them leave, he didn't care.

Not long after, one of them came with a man in charge, and two strong men behind him.

"Brother Chen, do you remember me?"

"Remember, you are the steward of Pei's mansion." Chen Nianwan smiled, it seems that the guy came here specially to wait for them to come and report back.

"How much jerky did you bring this time?"

"Two hundred and fifty packs."

"Send them all to our Pei residence." The manager of the Pei family said, and asked Chen Nianguan to collect the stall and lead the donkey cart.

After Chen Nianguan inquired, now know that Baoyuan's Pei Mansion is the largest aristocratic family in Chuzhou. There are hundreds of people in the clan alone, plus in-laws and friends.

"Hey, wait, I also paid the deposit, what's your attitude at the Pei family?" Another familiar housekeeper also came, and seeing that the two were about to quarrel like last time, Chen Nianguan hurriedly came forward to persuade him, knowing that the otherThe steward of the Lin family wanted a hundred packs, so he suggested that the Pei family also take a hundred packs first.

"Actually, this batch was made first. We will still set up a stall here tomorrow, and we will sell it for five days in a row. Although the flavor of the jerky sauce meat is the same, enough ingredients have been dried for ten days and ten nights, but every dayIt’s fresh on the market, so it’s the same if you come to buy it tomorrow.”

They still have to leave 60 packs to test the waters in the state capital to attract new customers. Don't just buy them out of the stewards of these big families, and the channels have not been opened.

Hearing what Chen Nianguan said, the two housekeepers thought about it, so they took a step back and each took a hundred bags.

Seeing that the jerky sauce in the donkey cart quickly decreased by four-fifths, Chen Nianguan and the others looked at each other first, and then laughed at each other.

This is a good start!

Sure enough, after a while, other customers who heard about the opening of the Chenjiajiang jerky stall came and quickly bought the remaining 50 packs.

At this time, as the previous batch of jerky sauce sold in Funing County flowed into the state capital through merchants and annual ceremonies, people in Chuzhou Prefecture gradually became aware of the existence of Chen’s jerky sauce, and the last time they came to the state capitalSelling jerky in sauce, the customers who bought it took it back to distribute to friends, and also mentioned that there were people from the Chen family in the state capital to sell jerky in sauce.

Those who have tasted jerky in sauce and thought it was delicious, as well as people from the state capital who thought it was cheap and good quality, sent stewards to find stalls for jerky in Chen’s sauce.The sale, and the stewards of the Pei family and the stewards of the Lin family made large purchases as endorsements. In addition, Chen Nianguan and others hired people to run around the streets and alleys with chopped sauced meat for people to try.The big family also set off a wave of buying Chenjiajiang jerky.

Originally, at the end of the year, these upper-class people would set aside a large budget to buy New Year’s goods and gifts, ranging from a few hundred taels to as many as a thousand taels.Psychologically, it was naturally included in the purchase list.

So this year, in the powerful class of the state capital, almost everyone must have a piece of Chen's jerky in sauce. It seems that without the Chen's jerky in sauce, every year is not the same.

Just like the modern Chen Nianguan, every new year must have X Wang gift packs, Miss Y candies, Z Fu chocolates, etc., etc., it seems that without these things, the year will not be the same.

As for Liu's concern, her daughter stayed overnight at the State House Inn for fear of danger, which was completely unfounded.

To be on the safe side, chose a large inn with a good reputation, and booked a two-bedroom medium-sized wing room for 120 cents a night for four nights.

Chen Nianwan shared a room, Liu Chi and the other three shared a room, and Chen Nianguan gave Liu Chi all the bank notes for safekeeping in fear of accidents.

Fortunately, the customers who came to buy jerky with sauce brought silver bills. Although they also had copper coins, they were only scattered coins.It is actually not conspicuous on the body.

Because they had so much money on them, they didn't dare to go out to play, so they could only stay in the inn, but they couldn't help chatting excitedly.

It was the first time for Chen Nianguan to stay in a hotel. Fortunately, he had already prepared for it. According to the habit of traveling in modern life, he brought his own bedding in a donkey cart.

After fetching water to wipe the tables, tables and beds in the wing room, they changed the inn bedding, and called hot water to wash????? After a day of exhaustion, Chen Nianguan lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

On the second day, he drove the donkey cart to the place where the stall was set up, while Liu He waited at the gate of the city, and led the brother-in-law and elder brother who delivered the jerky sauce to the stall.

After unloading the goods, Uncle Liu and his eldest cousin took the donkey cart and rushed back to Funing County, while Chen Nianguan, Liu Chi and others on the other side opened their throats and started yelling and selling.

Uncle Liu looked at his nieces and nephews who were full of energy and devoted themselves to making a living, and he was very envious.

Liu's four-bedroom family has nephews in the third house to do work with them, but the first two in the fourth house are still young, so coming here will only cause trouble, so they are detained at home.

This time, seeing so many patrons, the other three houses probably can earn a lot of money, right?

Uncle Liu's guess was right. On the fifth day, Chen Nianguan and others, who sold out all the jerky sauce they brought over and made a lot of money, rushed back to Funing County with a lot of money..

Although everyone worked hard for five consecutive days, they were also very excited and didn't feel tired. After dinner, they couldn't wait for it.

Chen Nianguan understood everyone's anxiety, and as soon as the table was withdrawn, she and Mrs. Liu immediately settled the money and silver they earned in the state capital, and then walked to the dining room with the money jar.

Seeing Chen Nianguan and Liu's appearance, everyone sat up straight in unison, watching her put the money jar on the round table, they all gathered around, staring at her with piercing eyes, waiting for the good news.

The batch of jerky sauce sold to the state capital finally earned a total of 272,260 yuan.

Hearing this number, everyone's cries almost knocked the roof off. Seeing Chen Nianguan beckoning them to be quiet, he covered his mouth and secretly smiled to calm down.

According to the usual practice, Chen Nianguan naturally wanted to draw the big head, so she immediately took away one hundred and forty taels, the rest of the silver, Liu Chi and the other four, got twenty-four taels, and Zhang Erlang took twenty-eight taels.

Then Liu Sijiu and his eldest cousin each had one tael, Liu Yun four taels, and second aunt's one tael or six hundred Wen, and the rest was the hard-earned money of the Liu family's donkey.

Because they all went back to Liujia Village early for the New Year's Eve, they asked their cousin Liu Chi to bring them back.

After the money was distributed, everyone laughed from ear to ear, without any sleepiness. They were all thinking about how much they should get after handing over the money from the grandfather, and what to do with the money. It just so happened that they could start taking a rest tomorrow.Yes, the Chinese New Year just happens to be fun.

Unlike this group of sleepless monkeys, although Chen Nianguan's brain was excited, his eyes were tired, and his upper and lower eyelids were fighting.A Niang presided over the overall situation.

When he returned to the wing room, Chen Nianguan climbed onto the couch with the money jar in his arms, and fell asleep soundly with just a lift of the quilt.

After sleeping until he woke up naturally and opened his eyes, Chen Nianguan was at a loss for a while, turned over, realized that the money jar was missing by his side, and was about to look for it.After looking at it, the silver, copper coins and bank notes were all there, so was relieved.

Pushing the door open, saw white snow all over the floor, and the room was very quiet, but festive red paper-cuts were pasted on the doors and windows, couplets were pasted on the door lintels, and lanterns were hung up.

Recently, have been so busy making sauced pork jerky that never realized that the end of the year is approaching. Until this moment, could smell the strong smell of the new year from the clean and tidy yard.

She put on the new jacket that Mrs. Liu made for her, and when she went to the kitchen to fetch water to wash, she saw Mrs. Liu and Xuan Xuan who were busy: "Mother! Xuanxuan!"

"Finally woke up?" Mrs. Liu was kneading flour balls and frying them in the oil pan.

"Uh-huh!"

Xuan Xuan was originally sitting on the twig to help burn firewood. Seeing her sister coming in, she knew what she was here for, so she carried a basin of hot water out for her: "Sister, wash your face."

"Xuan Xuan is so cute!"

Chen Nianguan rinsed his mouth and face at the door of the kitchen and asked, "What are you doing, Ma'am?"

"Fried rice cake!" Liu Shi glanced at Chen Nianguan, feeling distressed but couldn't help but say.

Others are busy celebrating the New Year as soon as the 22nd is over.

Year 23, give away the Kitchen God, Year 24, clean the house frequently, Year 25, fried tofu, Year 26, stew white meat, Year 27, slaughter a rooster, Year 28, beat cakes and steam bunsStick window grilles.

There are also new year gifts to be given to each family, for the clan, for the county magistrate Huang, for Dou Shuban, for the head of Fan Shan, and for the neighbors.

But when doing these things, the eldest daughter is not at home, and she doesn't even care about the winter solstice, and she is delivering jerky sauce to big households in the state capital in a different place!

It’s still the mother’s family who came to the county to buy new year’s goods. The eldest brothers, sisters-in-law and niece’s family, seeing that they don’t have a charter for the new year’s festival, help to clean the courtyard and sweep the house. Even the nephews who came back yesterday also postedThe window grill sent cakes, and I finally bought a bunch of New Year's goods in the city, and finally hurried back to Liujia Village.

But my daughter didn't wake up until after noon, and it seemed that there was only half an hour left, and it was getting dark again.

Liu's mouth was rambling, but thinking of her daughter's hard work these days, she has lost a lot of weight after she finally raised her body, and thinking of the amount of money she earned last night, she felt mixed feelings.
