    Of course, it is impossible for Da Lala to discuss with Liu Feng at the Grand Buddhist Temple, right under the eyes of Xiao Seventh Master, for such a big deal of almost 4,000 taels.

    He is doing his job seriously, how can he be allowed to be nosy while serving His Majesty?

    What's more, Mr. Liu Xiaolang only accepts one hundred taels of silver bills, if only four thousand taels of silver bills would be great, if he brings one hundred taels of silver bills, he will have to exchange forty of them.

    So Liu Fuan only dared to say a few words to Liu Feng quickly, mentioned the quantity of the order, and agreed that in two days, he would send a young man to Xianggui Street to place an order and pay the deposit face to face, and Liu Feng naturally agreed.

    There is no reason for him not to accept the white money delivered to his door?

    Later, he told Chen Nianguan the number of orders he was about to receive, and Chen Nianguan wanted to hug his little cousin and circle around.

    Chen Nianwan knew Liu Feng's little cousin was asking a high price, but he didn't know that he was so bold!

    Now that she has 20 pieces of clothes and quilts for five beds, she has an income of 1,100 taels. Even if she uses good fabrics, she can make a profit of about 1,000 taels of silver.In terms of arrangement, after Liu Feng received the deposit, work will start immediately!

    Liu Feng, who had tasted the sweetness twice as a broker, was wearing a down jacket that he used as a signature today, and went out early, waiting for the boy sent by Liu Fuan at the alley.

    To Liu Feng, of course he was talking about the servant, but in fact, it was Liu Fuan's confidant Liu Quanman who came to see him.

    Liu Quanman was an errand in the imperial dining room, so he came to look for Liu Feng by taking advantage of the convenience of going out of the palace to do the shopping.

    At the entrance of Xianggui Street, saw a young gentleman looking around, as if he had been waiting for a while, carefully looked at the clothes on his body, didn't they look like down jackets?

    The godfather asked himself to come to the Liu family gentleman just to buy this down jacket. He heard that the down jacket is light and warm to wear, and his godfather even gave him a special gift to touch it. He felt it was light and thin., It's quite comfortable, but I don't know if it's really as good as the godfather said?

    But when he heard that even His Majesty agreed to wear this down jacket when wearing micro clothes, Liu Quanman immediately put away his doubts.

    Even His Majesty said something good, how could it not be a good thing?

    It's their blessing to be able to use the same things as His Majesty!

    So Liu Quanman took the order to come here, showing some respect to the people who made such things.

    At this time, Liu Quanman took out the portrait again, and saw that it was a man wearing the same felt hat, so he walked over quickly: "May I ask you, is it Liu Feng Xiaolang?"

    "I'm right." Liu Feng smiled.

    Liu Quanman also smiled obsequiously, "I'm Mr. Liu... I was sent by Guanshi Liu."

    Liu Feng saw that Liu Quanman's speech was a little girly, so he didn't take it to heart. My mother said that there are all kinds of people, so maybe this kind of speaking style is popular in Capital City?

    Liu Feng smiled and took the representative of a big customer to a nearby teahouse.

    He didn't dare to take his head in the yard.

    First, the embroidery room is inside, and the cousin said that it is not allowed to take the customers home casually, so as not to reveal the secret, and second, he does not want the cousin and the family to know that he has earned so much money??????, andNot to mention that they are jealous and want to share the money with him, let the elder brother know, he will hand over 60% of the money to the public, isn't it a big loss?

    After taking a seat in the private room of the teahouse, Liu Quanman exchanged greetings with Liu Feng.

    He knew that this little gentleman was cooking for Master Ming Hai, and the food was novel and fresh, not only Master Ming Hai was satisfied, but even His Majesty praised it, and with the down jacket, he dared not underestimate it, a rare godfatherTo find myself to approach this young man, it is natural to establish a good relationship.

    So after all the good words, Liu Quanman took out a stack of hundred-yuan banknotes.

    Liu Feng's eyes lit up immediately, he usually paid the cousin the deposit first after asking the price, and immediately took it over and counted it, um, eleven hundred taels of silver bills, the amount was correct.

    Then put them all in his pocket, "Steward Xiao Liu, thank you Sheng Hui!"

    "Where is there, please take care of the batch of clothes our godfather asked for, Mr. Liu Xiaolang." But there are also some clothes that godfather gave to me!Liu Quanman also took the receipt and signed order from Liu Feng.

    "That's what it should be, as long as Guanshi Liu pays enough money according to the truth!" After all, the big money in the back belongs to him!

    "Don't worry, at that time, slave... I will definitely send the silver to Mr. Liu Xiaolang."

    Who dares to deceive this young gentleman?If a red man who has gained face in front of His Majesty dares not to pay the money, he casually mentioned to the Holy Majesty that these slaves are afraid of being killed by the rod!

    Liu Quanman watched Liu Feng put the silver bills away, ate tea with satisfaction, then handed over a wooden box with a smile, and pushed it to Liu Feng: "This is a little thought to trouble Mr.Don't be disgusted, please accept it."

    Liu Feng was startled, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

    Hey!

    This is a reward, right?

    Just like after he and Xiao Seventh Master did something, will he reward gold?Is this what Manager Liu rewarded him?

    Liu Feng took it over with a smile, didn't even look at it, and was immediately arrested, "I'm going to do business, you can ask Manager Liu to rest assured, twenty pieces of clothes, five bed quilts, the first batch will be delivered in four days, and the first batch will be delivered in eight days."The second batch will be sent, and a lot will be handed over to you."

    "Good. Good. Good."

    After saying goodbye to Liu Quanman, Liu Feng almost trembled when he walked, and when he returned to Xianggui Street, he immediately handed over the money to Chen Nianguan.

    Chen Nianguan took a look: Good guy, just the deposit is enough to pay the full amount of profit she assigned to Liu Feng's agent, this little cousin eats the profit very fat!

    Jealousy!All right.

    If had known that little cousin was so capable, when asked him to act as an agent to sell this down jacket, should have set a higher bottom price for profit.

    Liu Feng ignored his cousin's blood-red tricks, hummed a little song he didn't know where he learned it, bounced back to his door, locked it, and then took out the wooden box Liu Quande gave him, opened itTake a look: there are actually two beads the size of a thumb inside.

    What the hell?

    Liu Feng looked at it again and again, not knowing what kind of bead it was, but since it could be given to him by Liu Guanshi's godson who took out five hundred taels without blinking an eye, and it was packed in a box so solemnly, it must be worth a lot of money.

    At least five taels worth it?Should I take it to the bank and exchange it for some money?Or put it away first?

    "breeze?"

    In the study next door, Liu Qing was urging her younger brother to go study.

    "I'm coming!"

    Liu Feng casually stuffed the beads into a corner of the bed, and went out to study.

    As of today, Liu Qing opened the school for almost a month.

    Although everyone learned intermittently, but under Chen Nianguan's repeated appeals and five orders, no one dared to say that they couldn't say clearly. Under the coercive situation, some people gradually listened to the learning, calmed down and slowly learned to read with Liu Qing.

    Because Chen Nianguan did not require everyone to be able to write, the basic requirement is to be able to read characters and be able to plan.

    This requirement has increased the weariness of many people.

    Thinking about it again, what Master Chen said is right, if you learn how to plan, are you still afraid that others will take your money?After learning to read, you won't be blind wherever you go in the future!

    Learn to learn to get used to it, and just learn it.

    Liu Qing taught students according to their aptitude, and didn't teach any advanced knowledge. He often taught them simple official documents that they could understand. If they were willing to learn, everyone learned quickly.

    Among them, Liu Yun is the one who is thirsty for knowledge. Whenever he has free time, he goes to the study room, almost treating the study room as his own boudoir.

    In addition to the commonly used words taught by Liu Qing, she also asked Liu Qing to use recipes as teaching materials to teach her. Now she can understand half of the recipes, and she will definitely be able to understand the other half in time.

    Then came Liu Xiong and Liu Shi.

    They had seen Liu Yang who was literate and could count, and then they were hired by Master Chen to be the steward of the ice shop. Not only the monthly salary was higher than them, but the bonus was also higher than them.a shop.

    Literacy is good!They can be appreciated and valued by Master Chen. If they can write and count like Liu Yang, and wait for Master Chen to open a shop, maybe they can also be shopkeepers!

    Besides, it is not easy to find a scholar to teach him how to read. This opportunity should be cherished, so not only them, but even the cook and embroiderer in the reserve team want to come and learn, Chen Nianguan naturallyAll allowed.

    Of course, there are those who are motivated, and there are those who have no desire to learn. Si Ya and Xiao You are like this. They claim to be martial arts schools, and it is useless to read and write. When they come to the study, they feel sleepy and want to sleep.

    Liu Feng was also a member in the past, but he just listened to his cousin and reluctantly came here to learn on the spot.

    In fact, think he understands it very well, otherwise Chen Nianguan would not ask him to do shopping when he was still selling stalls in Funing County, because he is so-so in reading and writing.

    It’s just that, I visited the Grand Buddhist Temple a lot, got in touch with Master Ming Hai and Xiao Seventh Master, and then gradually realized that I was ignorant, and I followed Shi Cunqi again to see how he talked with farmers about cooperation andThe contract, drafting the articles of association by myself, secretly admiring and envious in my heart. When I wait for the agency of down clothes, I will cooperate with Liu Guanshi to do business. The contract receipt will have to be drafted by Chen Nianguan himself, and then I will write it for my elder brother.That momentum came up.

    He has a clever mind. Compared with his cousin, isn't he just missing the part of recognizing words?

    Because my cousin can only read, not write!

    If he can read and write at the same time, wouldn't he be better than his cousin?

    Under this kind of competitive mentality, Liu Feng gradually stopped playing around in the school and began to study and practice calligraphy seriously.

    After all, people who have studied with their elder brother at home for a few years have a foundation and a clever mind, so they have made rapid progress.

    Today in the school, I recited the Three Character Classic for my eldest brother, picked up a poem I practiced, blew on the dry ink, and handed it to my elder brother.

    Liu Qing saw that the younger brother's calligraphy was like a dog crawling, but now he has practiced it decently, and praised: "Not bad."

    "Hmm!" Liu Feng crossed his arms, proudly: "Brother, tell me, am I better than Liu He now?"

    Among the young men in the Liu family, besides Liu Qing, Liu He was recognized as the most gifted in studies.

    Liu Feng was about the same age as Liu He, only three months younger than him, so every time others boasted about Liu He, Liu Feng felt a little bit angrily indignant.

    Liu Qing laughed, and tapped his little brother on the head with his hand, "I want to know, when you go back to Funing County in the future, you can compare with him."

    However, they didn't know that they didn't need to go back to Funing County to compete with Liu He, they could just stay in the capital, because Liu He also came to the capital!

    Hearing Tao Bo say that a young master named Liu He came to find Master Chen and Zhang Juren, they were stunned when they got the news in the study.

    Liu He?impossible?He should be the shopkeeper in the store in Funing County!

    It's been a long way, and now the river and the sea are frozen, and the port is impassable, how can he come to Capital City?

    So everyone ran to the gate to see that it was really Liu He, and they couldn't believe it.

    Seeing that he hadn't seen his second cousin and younger cousin for a long time, Liu He couldn't help laughing out loud.

    "Brother, why did you come to Capital City?" Liu Yun, who was not out of the stall today, heard that her brother was here, and flew out like a bird, grabbing his brother's hand and laughing.

    "Hey, let's talk in the room first, let's talk in the room." Liu Qing said.

    Hearing the commotion, Zhang Erlang, who usually reads behind closed doors, also came out of the east chamber, and when he saw Liu He coming in, he immediately smiled too.

    "Cousin-in-law! I'm here to see you." Liu He said.

    "Cousin Liu He is coming, so I'm waiting for him by sweeping the couch." Zhang Erlang greeted Liu He with a smile, and then saw Carpenter He following behind Liuhe, surprised: "Uncle He, you're here too?"

    Carpenter He shyly helped carry the luggage, "Yes, Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you."

    "Now that you're here, just stay here with peace of mind."

    It turned out that it was the Liu family who asked Liu He to come to Beijing to find them.

    After renting the house with Cang Monan, Chen Nianguan wrote a letter and sent it back to Liu, informing them that they had arrived in Beijing safely, and that the rented yard was on Xianggui Street, so they should not worry.

    It was already early November when Mrs. Liu received the letter.

    Seeing that the pier was about to be shut down, Liu was worried about her daughter, and it happened that Liu He was also worried about her sister in the capital, so she asked him to be the last boat before the port was closed to bring things to the capital for her daughter and son-in-law.

    "I was supposed to come to Capital City in less than half a month, but when I arrived at the first port, I heard that the river was so frozen that ships could not pass through it. We had to change the sea route to land, so it took a lot of time.I just came to Capital City today." Liu He sighed, "Capital City is really big, I searched for a long time before I found this Xianggui Street, and I heard from the person who drove the car for us., this is not inside the imperial city!"

    "That's not it!" The two beasts agreed.

    The capital city is big, not only the outer city and the inner city, but also the imperial city inside the inner city.

    Liu He came to Beijing this way because he hired a team of bodyguards to come to Beijing. He was a little worried by himself, but it happened that Carpenter He and his two apprentices were also planning to come to Capital City, so the four of themTogether on the road, finally have a care.

    And what he brought to Chen Nianguan, apart from a batch of sauces and ingredients transported from Liujia Village, was a family letter written by the Liu family to Chen Nianguan, and silver taels.

    After everyone helped to put the barrels of sauce into the kitchen, Chen Nianguan, who went to the restaurant to follow the progress, came back.

    Seeing Liu He and Carpenter He was not only surprised, but also overjoyed.

    Then look at the batch of new sauces that A Niang asked Liu He to bring over, and after receiving the family letter and bank note that Liu He brought to him, it's great to call A Niang in my heart!

    You know, a new restaurant is about to open in the new year, and she is worried about whether the sauce she brought is enough!

    Even if they plan to send someone back to Funing County to carry it, the weather is very cold, there is only land to go, and it is the New Year's Eve, don't know if can find someone to take over the job!

    The Liu family sent Liu He to give him this sauce, it was just right!

    That night, Carpenter He and his two apprentices lived in Datongpu, while Liu He and Liu Feng shared a wing.

    Chen Nianguan returned to the wing room with the family letter and the bank note. First, he read the letter A-Niang wrote to her. He knew that A-Niang and Xuan Xuan were all good, as well as the people in Liujia Village. The three shops were operating normally, so he felt relieved.

    A Niang also said that she was afraid that she would spend a lot of money in Capital City and was in short supply, so she deliberately sent her the profits in September and October, as well as the dividends sent by her partners after she settled the accounts..

    By the way, finally someone responded to the offer from the Prefecture City West Store. Six partners were found at a time, and the three hundred taels of silver they received were also sent to her.

    The sauce shop of the fourth aunt has been officially built, and even attracted the sea merchants at the dock to discuss cooperation. It is said that one of them is a cook on a merchant ship that is often moored at the port. After she met on the way back to Beijing, she learned about it.The scallop sauce is delicious, found it after inquiring about it, and bought 300 cans at a time.

    When A Niang said this, Chen Nianguan thought of the cook he met on the boat on the way to Capital City.

    Surely he was right!

    Chen Nianguan counted the money and silver sent by his mother, and his own was a total of five thousand taels!

    If you know that you are short of money, you will immediately give charcoal in the snow. Those who know her are indeed Moruo Aniang!

    Chen Nianguan happily hid the five thousand taels, and then took Zhang Erlang's share of the money to find her husband.

    About one thousand taels.

    Zhang Erlang looked at the banknote in his hand, looked at Chen Nianwan and smiled, and put the banknote away.

    And in Liu Feng's wing room, Liu Feng vacated the kang for Liu He to live in, called Liu Qing and Liu Yun, and they were also dividing the money.

    Liu Qing was a sum of money given to him by Uncle Liu from the public office, plus the money from the second house, a total of three hundred taels.

    Liu Yun is a dividend from Tangshui Shop, a total of two hundred taels.

    Liu Feng is half of the head office and half of the west store. After paying the 60% of the public, they get thirty-five taels.

    The four Liu family members looked at the silver from Liu Qing and Liu Yun respectively, and all their eyes fell on Liu Feng's thirty-five taels.

    Thirty-five taels......

    Everyone: ...

    Liu Feng: ...

    snort!

    Liu Feng picked up the mere thirty taels at once, stood up and held his head stubbornly without speaking, trying to preserve his last dignity.

    The other three members of the Liu family thought that the younger brother's heart was hurt, their eyes met, and they left silently, what should they do!

    If it were any other time, seeing that Liu Yun, who was younger than him, actually had two hundred taels of silver, Liu Feng would definitely feel uncomfortable.

    But now, not only is he a partner of his cousin's restaurant, but he also has so much gold in his possession. He has more than one thousand taels on hand, and he will soon have more than three thousand taels of income, a mere two hundred taels, so he doesn't carewhere!

    When the restaurant opens and pays dividends, they can only look at it and salivate!

    In the future, he will be, no no, now he is the Liu family, no no no, the person with the most money in Liujia Village.

    But when he thought of hiding so much gold and silver in his room, but still living with Liu He, Liu Feng lost his air and felt uneasy.

    It's over.

    Because my cousin was sympathetic to the huge debt she borrowed from Xiao Seventh Master, she agreed to act as an agent for the down clothes. After selling the part of her profit, the cousin said that she didn’t ask. In fact, no one knows how much she can earn, so she doesn’t have to.Honestly hand it over to Gongzhong, because he owed the debt but didn't ask Gongzhong to be in debt with him!

    But if Liu He found out, who knows what he would think?

    Liu Feng, who used to live alone and carefree, began to panic the day Liu He came to Capital City.

    Alas, why did Liu He let him share a room?

    Liu He was completely unaware of Liu Feng's little thoughts, and went to visit the huge Capital City with Carpenter He and others the next day, led by Liu Qing.

    Naturally, was amazed all the way, and then arrived at the restaurant that Tan Carpenter and others were processing and rebuilding.

    "Cousin, you can do it!" Rao heard from his aunt that his cousin came to Capital City to open a restaurant, and when he actually saw the restaurant that belonged to his cousin, Liu He still couldn't help being amazed.

    The brothers of the Liu family have been working with the aunt's family for a short time, more than a year. Seeing that the family situation of the aunt's family is getting better day by day, their Liu family, no, now the whole Liujia Village, is being dragged, and life has been witnessed.Every day gets better.

    However, these are not as powerful as my cousin.

    With her own restaurant in Capital City, then cousin, doesn't she become a native of Kyoto?

    Amazing!

    Seeing that the shopkeeper is the original owner of Yueman Building, the partner is also the son of the Cang family of Huangshang, Liu He's amazement is wave after wave, and then regret.

    Hey, it seems that my cousin opened the restaurant this time, not only did I come too late, I couldn't participate in the shares, and I couldn't help much!

    Chen Nianwan looked at Liu He's regretful face, smiled mysteriously, then looked at Carpenter He who was also enviously watching Carpenter Tan and others who were busy at work, and called out: "Uncle He!"

    "Hey, Mrs. Chen!"

    Carpenter He was also disappointed.

    Before Chen Nianwan set off to the capital, he asked him to order a wooden barrel and a stall cart, so he knew at that time that Mrs. Chen was going to live in the capital with her husband, and when he finished his work in the capital, he returned to Funing CountyAt that time, heard from Mrs. Liu that Mrs. Chen was going to open a big restaurant when she came to the capital.

    Restaurant!

    Carpenter He couldn't help being excited.

    Mrs. Chen entrusted him to make all the cooking utensils from the time she opened the stall. Later, she opened the main store, branch stores, and then the sugar shop, and he took on one job after another.

    It can be said that after so many years of being a carpenter, the client who commissioned the most work and the largest scale is Mrs. Chen.

    Now, Mrs. Chen is going to open a restaurant in Capital City, presumably, the work of a carpenter must be indispensable.

    Now Carpenter He's reputation in Prefecture City has also risen along with the sugar shop's reputation, and many more people are looking for them to pick up jobs, and the jobs are scheduled until next year.

    However, Carpenter He is a carpenter with aspirations. If the restaurant is remodeled for Mrs. Chen, can Carpenter He's reputation be spread by word of mouth in Capital City?

    Carpenter He thought of his dismissal from Qiaomuxing, and suddenly a surge of courage arose in his heart. He wanted to go to Capital City and tell Mrs. Chen that he should hand over the renovation project of the restaurant to him.

    So, after handing over the work of Funing County and Prefecture City to his son and his eldest apprentice, he took the two apprentices on the road, and it happened that Mr. Liu was going to Capital City to find his cousin, so he naturally went with him.

    Along the way, Carpenter He was full of excitement, and he had the ambition to do a big job.

    But who knew that Mrs. Chen was so agile that she bought a restaurant in a short period of time and found someone to renovate it for him?

    After finally mustering up the courage to take the initiative to fight, but now, this trip, I came for nothing!

    Carpenter He only felt that his blood had turned cold.
