    When it comes to Chen Nianjian, one has to talk about Chen Feng.

    Although Chen Feng was arrested for a crime, Chen Xiang later interceded and begged the county magistrate Huang to deal with it lightly. Chen Xiang's wife, uncle, and aunt also secretly came to find A Niang once, and persuaded A Niang to let Chen Feng go.It was Chen Feng.

    If Chen Nianjian wants to take the imperial examination, his family background must be clean, there must be no criminals within three generations, if there is a father who is a criminal, then Chen Nianjian will have to give up the examination for fame.

    Chen Feng is a pile of broken copper and iron, but Chen Nianjian is a good person, and it was he who ran to Yanlai Lane to tell them that their father wanted to play tricks, and they didn't know who was behind the scenes.

    Chen Nianjian has a good character, but it was a long time bad luck for him to be an asshole father who didn't care about his son's future at all.

    After this happened, Chen Nianjian was ashamed of his father's actions, and never visited Yan's house again.

    When Liu told Chen Nianguan, they all hated Chen Feng, sympathized with Chen Nianjian, thought about his future, finally agreed to reconcile, and explained the reasons to Huang County Magistrate.According to the principle of non-indictment by the people and no investigation by the officials, mediation is the main priority, and Chen Feng was exonerated from the crime and released from prison.

    But the Chen family's family style is not good, and it has already spread throughout Funing County, and even Chen's rice noodles are sold very well because of this incident. Neither Chen Nianwan nor the Liu family know how much this has affected Chen Nianjian who is studying in the acade. At this time, heard Zhang Erlang mention Chen Nianjian, inquired about one or two.

    Knowing that Chen Nianjian was still attending school like an ordinary student, and he didn't seem to be affected too much, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

    Since he wanted to send jerky in sauce to Chief Fan Shan, he also sent a copy to Chen Nianjian and asked Zhang Erlang to forward it to him.

    Zhang Erlang put the sauced jerky on Chen Nianjian's desk the next day.

    Chen Nianjian is actually quite knowledgeable, his essays are second only to Zeng Shilang in the class, and his ranking can be maintained in the top five. Zhang Erlang didn't know how Chen Nianjian was in the academy before he came to the academy, but after he came, seeing Chen NianjianHe walks alone and never talks much with others.

    Because Chen Nianjian is Miss Chen's cousin, he couldn't help but take care of his affairs, so he learned from Zeng Silang that Chen Nianjian's temperament was not so silent before, but later in the academy there was a rumor that the Chen family bullied the youngest son's orphan., and found out that the mastermind of the accident was Chen Nianjian's father, he also became disgusted with Chen Nianjian, and those who were close to Chen Nianjian also alienated him.

    Since then, Chen Nianjian has been quiet and reticent, only immersed in reading, ignoring anyone on weekdays.

    When Zhang Erlang went to look for him, Chen Nianjian was using the time between classes to immerse himself in writing something, and didn't notice Zhang Erlang coming over. When he saw a package of things falling on the table, he was slightly startled, looked up,Seeing that it was a new classmate, he silently put the things he had recorded just now on the other side, and closed a volume: "What's the matter?"

    Ever since Zhang Erlang entered Qingyun Academy, Chen Nianjian recognized that this person was the guy who lived in his third aunt's house, but because of his father, he was ashamed of his third aunt and the two younger sisters in the third room, and he heard that it was Zhang Erlang who sent Wan Wan's sister to him.Compared with the one who was rescued, his elder brother paled in comparison, so Chen Nianjian came here pretending not to know him.

    Seeing Chen Nianjian's delicate handwriting, Zhang Erlang also recognized that the ancient books he recorded according to banknotes came from the same bookstore where he copied the books, because there was a seal with the name of the bookstore on it.

    It turned out that Chen Nianjian was also copying books to earn money.

    Immediately, Zhang Erlang felt a lot closer to Chen Nianjian, and pointed to the bag of jerky with sauce: "Miss Chen Si asked me to give it to you."

    When Chen Nianjian heard Zhang Erlang mentioning Sister Wanwan, her lips pursed, her heart felt hot, and she wanted to say something, but finally she lowered her head and said softly, "Please thank Third Aunt and Sister Wan Wan for me."

    Zhang Erlang nodded naturally.

    After class was over that day, Zhang Erlang quickened his pace when he saw Chen Nianjian walking out of Qingyun Academy with a bookcase on his back, in the same direction as himself.

    Sure enough, he saw Chen Nianjian entering the bookstore he was going to.

    I'm afraid it won't be the handover for silver today.

    When Zhang Erlang walked into the bookstore, he saw Chen Nianjian talking to the shopkeeper, holding an ancient book he had seen in his hand, but what the shopkeeper held was obviously a newly completed book.

    "Very good, Chen Sanlang, you copied it well this time, so I will give you two hundred wen as promised."

    "Then I thanked the shopkeeper." Chen Nianjian thanked the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was about to say something. Seeing Zhang Erlang who came into the shop, he smiled: "Master Zhang is here?"

    Zhang Erlang smiled slightly and nodded, seeing Chen Nianjian who turned around looking astonished, without explaining, he took out an ancient book and a manuscript from the bookcase, "Please settle the bill, the shopkeeper."

    Only then did Zhang Erlang calm down from his anger, and turned into surprise: Zhang Erlang also does the job of copying books?

    "Okay, okay." The shopkeeper quickly counted the copper coins to Chen Nianjian, and came to entertain Zhang Erlang.

    Chen Nianjian heard from the side that the shopkeeper had paid Zhang Erlang four hundred wen, he was surprised and depressed.

    Why is it the same copying of books, he only got 200 essays for one copy?How could he, Zhang Erlang, get four hundred wen?

    Chen Nianjian was upset, and suddenly asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, why is the price of his copied books so high?"

    Hearing this, Zhang Erlang looked at Chen Nianjian together with the shopkeeper.

    The shopkeeper stroked his beard, smiled and handed Zhang Erlang's manuscript to Chen Nianjian, and then opened the ancient book by himself: "You can see where the gap is at a glance?"

    Chen Nianjian took a serious look and was convinced.

    It turned out that Zhang Erlang had copying skills, and the copies of the ancient books copied out, if not for the old paper, the two booklets would be exactly the same.

    Now Chen Nianjian was convinced, took the next ancient book that the shopkeeper handed him to copy, and walked out silently, but Zhang Erlang chased after him: "Chen Sanlang?"

    Chen Nianjian turned around and found that Zhang Erlang was carrying a package in his hand. It was the jerky sauce that he forgot to give him from his third aunt in the store.

    Zhang Erlang smiled, "It's a trivial matter." After a pause, he said: "Since we all copy books for the same shop, it is also a predestined relationship. If you are free in the future, how about we exchange books and copy books?"

    "You..." Chen Nianjian wanted to nod his head, but he thought of what his father did to his third aunt, and thought that Mr. Zhang lived in Yanlai Lane, so it was hard to say that sentence, "Aren't you afraid?"

    "Your father is your father, and you are you." Zhang Erlang shook his head, "Since the family is doomed to have no choice, but you can also choose the path you want to take. I think the path you choose will always be straight and straight.It's a good way."

    Chen Nianjian had never heard anyone say this before, his eyes were flushed for a moment, fearing that he would lose his composure, he turned his head and left in a hurry.

    Zhang Erlang smiled, picked up the bookcase, and hurried home.

    I have to tell Miss Chen Si that what she asked herself to do has been successfully completed!

    But when Zhang Erlang returned to Yanlai Lane, he didn't see Chen Nianwan. When he and Chen Nianjian were in the bookstore, Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi also went to the paper shop to pick up their custom-made oil paper bags.

    This time, everyone paid a lot of money to make sauced meat. Chen Nianguan wanted to do a big job, so he had to do it well.

    Now that the jerky in sauce is ready to be harvested one after another, it is natural to find a way to sell it.

    Chen Nianguan first set his sights on those merchants who were about to return home.

    First of all, at the end of the year, the merchants will settle their profits for the year, so there will naturally be a lot of money. Secondly, the merchants will naturally want to have a good time when they return home, so they will undoubtedly bring a lot of Cheng Yi back to their hometown, as souvenirs to send to relatives at home, again, the New Year's Day, even the common people relax their money once a year, let alone the merchants.

    Although the merchants have a low status, they have a lot of money on hand, how can she not take advantage of this best time to be a profiteer and make a fortune from them?

    So Chen Nianguan ordered a lot of oil paper bags in order to sell the jerky sauce to these merchants.

    Isn't her jerky in sauce sold by the carton?

    At that time, put the sauced meat into oiled paper bags, one piece, two pieces, thick cut, thin cut, not only looks good, but also makes the food look high-end, so that it can be sold at a high price, saving a few more like Zeng SigongLike that, customers who feel distressed after hearing the price.

    Otherwise, how can it be sold?

    Just clutching the bare oiled paper bag, Chen Nianguan still felt that something was missing, staring at it for a long time, finally realized what was missing.

    brand label.

    Just like the packaged food sold in modern times has its own brand printed on it, and now the stalls of our own Chenjia pho have also posted signs, so that cousins and cousins will wear clothes with the words Chenjia pho to show off their products.Sauce meat should also have its own brand.

    must be added.

    In addition, people who buy sauced meat can know that such delicious meat is made by their Chen family. After word of mouth, the Chen family's brand will be launched?

    Chen Nianguan immediately grabbed the oil paper bag and went to Zhang Erlang.

    Hearing Chen Nianguan's request, Zhang Erlang looked at the slowly stacked oil paper bags and couldn't help but laugh.

    Is my own writing and ink going to appear on the oiled paper package selling jerky with sauce?

    I am afraid that he is the first scholar in the world who will do this.

    "Zhang Erlang, you write me one hundred books a day, no, fifty books, and I'll finish it soon!" Chen Nianguan persuaded, "I know you make a lot of money copying books, so I will give you five books a day.How about ten pennies? For one penny, you can write the eight characters of Funing County’s Chenjia sauce jerky, and it’s a lot of money.”

    Zhang Erlang couldn't help laughing twice.

    "Zhang Erlang?"

    "Okay, since Ms. Chen asked me to write, I will naturally agree. Besides, I also have a book for this jerky business, right? How can I collect money?" Zhang Erlang refused Chen Nianguan's request to pay, looked at her, "Then?????, write horizontally and vertically? What are the requirements for the characters?"

    Chen Nianguan grabbed the oil paper bag and looked left and right, and recalled the packaging bags for buying jerky in tourist attractions in modern times. After referring to it, he took out a charcoal pencil and drew on the paper.

    Zhang Erlang watched Chen Nianguan holding the charcoal pen, concentrating on how to arrange the characters on the oil paper bag. Under the candlelight, the delicate skin was like jade crystals, the slightly raised nose was scattered beside the exquisite jade ears.A few strands of hair...

    Zhang Erlang turned his head, not daring to look any further, for fear that if he looked a few more times, his heart would fall into a corner he couldn't find.

    Chen Nianguan finally decided to write vertically. As for the font, he could not ask too much, so he asked Zhang Erlang to write the one he liked best.

    Zhang Erlang smiled and nodded, Chen Nianguan immediately got up to rub the ink for him, and handed the brush with both hands with a smile.

    Zhang Erlang took it and wrote it on the paper first, to show Chen Nianguan if it was suitable?

    Chen Nianguan saw it, yo, it is simply art, and the words written by Zhang Erlang on the packaging will definitely double the value.

    That day, Zhang Erlang wrote enough for a hundred oil paper bags, and Chen Nianguan returned with a stack of oil paper bags after the ink had dried, with a smile on his face.
