Just the order placed by Cang Monan and Jiang Yu gave Chen Nianguan a deposit of more than 2,000 taels. When he went to Mingzhu Cloth Shop to choose fabrics the next day, he saw Cang Monan and the two girls waiting eagerly.

These two girls, one is Cang Erniang who is already married to Cang Monan, and the other is Qianliu girl from Rice Grain Company. They both asked Cang Monan to place an order for down clothes at Chen Nianguan., I hope that Chen Nianwan will come to the door and get to know this Mrs. Chen who can not only open a restaurant but also make clothes. Of course, the key point is to choose the fabrics for Chen Nianwan to make her own custom clothes.

Chen Nianguan was in a good mood when he got two fans, so he paid for the four high-quality fabrics selected by the two ladies with a smile, took the Shu brocade selected by Cang Monan, and chose another cloth with different colors and high quality.Buy back dozens of different pieces of fabric.

There are winter cloth and spring cloth.

Winter cloth is of course used to make down clothes. As for spring cloth, of course it is prepared early and used to make new clothes for the family members. Now there are about twenty people in the family, and the new season clothes have to be sewed.Take some time.

In addition, bought a few fox furs specially for husband, because as said, have to prepare clothes for him to keep out the cold for the few days in the spring. Down clothes and duvet quilts are not suitable, so let's make a single-layer cloak and quilt!

Cang Monan helped Chen Nianguan to load the cloth into the carriage, and when they returned to the cloth workshop, Erniang Cang asked, "I think it's not bad for Mrs. Chen to cooperate with the Cang family in embroidery, why did you cooperate with others in the restaurant?"?”

Cang Monan is also helpless.

When he first met Mrs. Chen, he thought that Mrs. Chen was a good cook. He didn't even think about opening a restaurant to cooperate with him at first.

Just kidding, how can a mere woman like Mrs. Chen not even have enough capital to support herself in a restaurant business?

That's because my grandfather said that Mrs. Chen had a lot of background, and he gave two thousand taels to make a good relationship with her, so he joined the book.

If you had known that Mrs. Chen knew how to sew down clothes and other excellent products, then you would have to spend a lot of money to please Mrs. Chen and win her trust.

Seeing the carriage that Mrs. Chen was riding in was driving farther and farther, Cang Monan couldn't help roaring three times in his heart:

what!Why is Mrs. Chen's clothes so well made?

what!Why didn't I have the insight to recognize people at the beginning?

what!Why is she already a married woman?

Just, melancholy!

After Chen Nianguan returned to Xianggui Street, he asked the two beasts to help move the cloth into the embroidery room.

Now there are already five embroiderers working in the embroidery room, all of them are experienced female workers. In addition, Chen Nianguan uses no embroidery patterns, only plain and patterned down jackets, which naturally saves a lot of effort.When sewing the down interlayer, you can sew diamond-shaped grids, strip grids, triangle grids, etc. to lock the difference of down. There is no special requirement for embroidery skills, and it is faster than ordinary clothes.

On average, one person can make one down jacket a day, five pieces a day, and ten pieces in two days.It is also soothing and methodical.

After Chen Nianwan saw that the work of the embroidery house was normal, he planned to run to Suchuan Road. Before leaving, he saw two beasts—they were usually responsible for following the stall car as guards, but now they lost all because of Zeng Si.No money, no money to send a monthly salary to the guards brought from Funing County, so Chen Nianguan did it for him, and Zeng Si lived in Meilu Academy and could only bring one entourage. These two guards have always lived in the inverted room.Now that Nian Wan was their boss, and seeing that they were free, he asked them to alternate with the two beasts to watch over the stall staff.

Although the tyrant of Hongying Lane was eradicated, although the vendors and diners in Hongying Lane moved away the mountain that bullied them because of their ex-son Chen Nianguan, they were grateful and jealous of Chenjia Hor Fun by the way.stall.

I am grateful that I don’t have to pay protection fees every month, and I am afraid that Chen Dong’s family of Chen’s rice noodles is not easy to mess with. Moreover, I heard that the husband of Chen Dong’s family is a juren.Dare to say, this Juren will be a high official or a small official in the future, so he can't afford to provoke him.

However, in Capital City, there is a mix of good and bad, and Chen Nianguan is still worried. Whenever a stall operator goes out of the stall, he has to be followed by others.

Today is the turn of the two guards to go to work, and the two beasts will rest.

Chen Nianguan thought that he was going to run a store, and thought that he had to build an ice cellar. Aren't these two beasts experienced?So they called together.

When they came to Suchuan Road, Dong Yu’s house had already moved out. Chen Nianguan first asked the locksmith to change the locks, and then walked in with two beasts, and then announced to them with a smile that this shop also belonged to her Master Chenthat's it.

Si Ya and Xiao You, who often followed up and followed up, knew about this matter. It was the first time for the two beasts to hear about it, and they were shocked.

This, this, isn't it difficult for Master Chen to just buy a restaurant?Bought the shop next door in the blink of an eye?When did it happen?

When heard that Master Chen was going to transform this shop into an icehouse, he immediately rubbed his hands, excited.

It's easy to build an ice cellar. Didn't they build it when they were in Chuzhou Mansion?

It's a good job to give them the job.

"Wrong, wrong, the first floor below is intended to be used as an ice cellar, but the second floor and above are for other purposes." Chen Nianguan shook his head.

Not only the two beasts, even Si Ya and Xiao You were stunned.

second floor?

Isn't this shop just one floor?Where is the second floor?

Well, Chen Nianguan took out his design drawing, spread it out in front of everyone, and revealed his grand plan.

Tut tut!

Everyone was amazed when they heard it.

"Well, Master Chen, you are right. We don't have any opinions. Whatever you say, let's do it."

The two beasts said so bluntly, Si Ya and Xiao You also nodded.

This Master Chen opened a rice noodle shop from Funing County all the way to Prefecture City, and then recruited partners everywhere, and then remodeled the cellar and sugar shop. His business is booming!

Master Chen is a powerful person, and they are sure to follow her.

"That's fine. I plan to hand over the business of the shop and the ice cellar to the two of you. As for the helpers and buddies, they are also ready."

The renovation of the back kitchen and the backyard of the restaurant has been preliminarily completed. Except for some masons who stayed to repair the places she was not satisfied with, she gave all the other guys a look, and kept the honest and reliable ones, and asked them to come to the shop.Most of the masons, stonemasons and helpers agreed to continue to work, seeing that they could seamlessly pick up the work before the New Year's Eve.

So these people are under the control of the two beasts.

Chen Nianguan also took out the layout diagram of the ice cellar, and the two beasts rushed up, listening to the explanation and asking puzzles, and when they understood it completely, they nodded to show that they understood, so Chen Nianguan smiled and walked away with the two beasts.to the backyard.

In the backyard, the masons, masons and many helpers hired by Chen Nianguan have gathered, including Carpenter Tan.

"Master Chen, do you really want to build a building when you come to us?"

Carpenter Tan just finished remodeling the restaurant, got the wages, and was called back today, thinking that there was something wrong with the project, but as soon as he brought it, he was ushered into the shop next door to the restaurant, and then some masons said that he was here to do shop renovation work,surprise.

"it's okay no problem!"

Chen Nianguan looked at Carpenter Tan and the others and laughed.

Carpenter Tan and others are the top priorities for this reconstruction work. After the first floor is knocked down, these carpenters are indispensable for laying out lines, digging trench foundations, and laying foundations.

And when the first floor is built, the work on the second and third floors will mainly depend on Carpenter Tan and others. At that time, Carpenter He will have to be called over, so that the two groups can cooperate.

As a result, two identical store layouts were posted for the craftsmen present to observe. The foremen of each craftsman team who were familiar with building construction were called to work with the two beasts, trying to start work as soon as possible.

According to Chen Nianguan's construction concept, the first floor is not intended to be like the restaurant next door. It is all made of wood, but half of it is piled up with bricks and stones, which is the foundation. In addition to using traditional giant logs as pillars as the support of the house, additional construction will also be made.Five pillar stones stabilize the entire house structure.

The large frame of the ground building is supported by large wooden pillars on the top pillar stone, and half of the four-sided square wall is built, and the upper half of the wood is used to erect pillars, rafters, sandalwood bars, etc. to build the house.

In this way, the entire first floor can well support the height and weight of the second and third floors.

Except for the first floor, which needs special attention, the second and third floors are naturally built according to the traditional architecture of the dynasty, and the hired staff must be more familiar than Chen Nianguan.

Therefore, after demolishing the shop and before building the first floor, Chen Nianguan had to supervise the work every day.

She wasn't able to let go until the work progressed to the second floor of the building.

And carpenter He also finished the work on the other side of the restaurant, such as bowls, cabinets, cabinets, and wooden carts.

Seeing that Carpenter He was free, Chen Nianguan came just in time.

The West Wing Room in the backyard is intended to be transformed into a back kitchen like the sugar shop in Prefecture City, such as refrigerators, refrigerators, ice basins, etc., as well as ice trucks that are indispensable for the ice cellar.

Moreover, after the expansion of the business premises of restaurants, the demand for wooden carts will definitely increase.

So carpenter He's work has become more difficult.

But Carpenter He is very happy. Didn't he come all the way to work for Master Chen?How much, how much to pick up.

During the remodeling of the shop, Carpenter He and Carpenter Tan had more opportunities to get in touch with each other, and gradually became acquainted with each other, admiring and cherishing each other, and laid a friendly and harmonious foundation for the later cooperation between the two carpenters.

Chen Nianguan at this end was busy with the renovation of the store, and Liu Feng at the other end naturally took over the work of managing the embroidery house.

Liu He took over the work at Pingerzhuang, and Shi Cunqi is currently recruiting work, so there is nothing to learn. Liu Yun, the head of the family, continues to take the cook as a reserve, and only the embroidery room needs someone to take care of it.with.

After all, Chen Nianguan can't do two things at once!

For this job, Liu Feng is naturally happy.

He just made thousands of taels of silver from the agency of down clothes, and he also has a farm. The profit of this embroidery house is huge, even higher than that of selling ice.

Tut tut!

However, apart from taking care of the embroidery room, Liu Feng also shoulders the task of going to the Grand Buddhist Temple to socialize with Master Ming Hai from time to time.

Now Liu Feng is not sending the delicious food made by her cousin to Master Ming Hai, but Liu Feng has learned new dim sum and new dishes from Liu Yun, and then goes to the Grand Buddhist Temple to make them on the spot.

Liu Feng was not willing to give up this job.

After all, now that I am a fake novice, Master Ming Hai and Master Xin are quite happy. Who in the Grand Buddhist Temple does not give him some kindness?

Besides, he was thinking of selling down clothes to Xiao Seventh Master, and earning a few more farms back!

How did Liu Feng know, Xiao Seventh Master, look at this down jacket, it's just a fresh picture. The first Sangong and Sixth Courtyard in the house are all wearing fox fur sable cloaks worth tens of thousands of taels, and there are warm earth dragons.It's just in the harem, where can use these down clothes?

It was Liu Quanman who came to look for him again.

After that heavy snowfall, the father-in-laws discovered the benefits of the down clothes, and those who did not get the rewards were jealous, so they came to Liu Quanman to inquire. Some gave up after hearing that the clothes were too expensive, and some were not short of money.

No, the father-in-laws who can show their face in front of the masters of various palaces all have some status. The rewards should not be too much, and the family wealth they have saved is quite rich. Although the clothes of one hundred and fifty taels are expensive, the effect is comparable toQianjin Huqiu, still have some money to buy one back, so asked him if he could help to order this kind of light and warm clothes.

It's just that many maidservants and guards wanted to get close to Liu Quanman.

Liu Quanman, who is considered to be the only channel for down clothes in the palace, has been stuffed with a lot of benefits these days, and he can't help but drift, and his spirits are in good spirits.

Seeing Liu Feng, he wanted to take him to Jixiangju to have a good meal.

What can Liu Feng do? Manager Xiao Liu is so enthusiastic, so naturally he can't be discouraged, so he followed him to the box of Jixiangju to have a delicious meal.

After eating and drinking well, it is natural to talk about cooperation.

When Liu Feng heard that he wanted thirty pieces of down jackets, then he looked at the deposit of a pile of one hundred taels of silver bills, he was happy and worried at the same time!

The joy is naturally that I can make money, but the worry is that when the time comes to take my share of the profit, I still can't carry it with me!

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu Xiaolang, we know that Mr. Xiaolang wants to buy property in Capital City, so the rest of the money, our family will help you to see if there is anything we can do for a living?"

Liu Feng smiled and nodded: "That sounds good." Then he ordered: "However, you must leave me one thousand taels of silver."

"Ah, one thousand taels?"

"That's right, I still owe Xiao Seventh Master two or two thousand silver? I have to save up enough banknotes to pay him back." Liu Feng said, explaining to Liu Quanman why he owes Xiao Seventh Mastersilver.

Liu Quanman was sweating all over, his forehead was cold, and the corners of his mouth trembled.

No wonder the godfather also looks at Mr. Liu Xiaolang with admiration.

Can someone who dares to borrow money from the Holy One, who still keeps his head, be easy?

Liu Quanman wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, and when he looked at Liu Feng again, there was three points of admiration and two parts of envy in his eyes.

"Don't worry, our family will definitely." In the end, he couldn't help being curious, and asked, "I don't know, where is the restaurant opened by Mr. Liu Xiaolang? What's its name?"

"Ah, it's at the end of Suchuan Road. By the way, Mr. Liu, you are from Capital City, and you work for someone as rich as Xiao Seventh Master. You must know a lot of people, right?" Liu Feng smiled.My restaurant has opened, Manager Liu will introduce more people to join us!"

"sure."

No, that's the restaurant where the Holy Majesty paid a lot of money, so it belongs to the Holy Majesty's private property.

Although only half...

Uh cough!

Liu Quanman glanced at Liu Feng, who was happy and oblivious to it, and it was only a half, and it could be regarded as the property of the Holy Majesty. If the restaurant makes money, it is the Holy Majesty who collects money, although the income is less...

Liu Quanman glanced at Liu Feng again.

Hey, it's not easy for the Holy One. If you want to earn some money to fill your own pocket, ah, bah, you want to earn some money to expand your own small private treasury, and you have to get a few percent off first.

Of course, it is what the slaves should do to promote and introduce customers for the restaurant of the Holy Majesty.

After returning to the palace this time, Liu Quanman actively promoted the soon-to-open Chenjia restaurant on Suchuan Road, and must contribute to the expansion of Shengshang's private warehouse. I hope that Liu Feng will remember his achievements in the future, and speak well in front of Xiao Seventh Master about how loyal he is to his master,How capable.

And Liu Quanman's efforts were not in vain. In the future, he brought a wave of diners to Chen's restaurant, but at the same time, he also provoked the anger of a group of imperial chefs.

What kind of work is this Liu Quanman doing?

The job of buying for the Imperial Kitchen Palace, he boasted that the food in the restaurant outside was delicious, making hype, doesn't it mean that he looked down on the palace dishes made by the imperial chef of the Imperial Kitchen Palace?

When Liu Quanman realized it, he had already offended a lot of imperial chefs.

"You, you don't understand."

Liu Quanman felt bitter, but he dared not speak out.

The godfather said that he couldn't tell the story, so he didn't dare to say that what he introduced was the restaurant of the sage. You go to this Chen's restaurant to praise the sage, which is depressing.

Besides, Liu Feng returned to Xianggui Street with the deposit given by Liu Quanman, and handed it over to his cousin.

"Cousin, cousin, thirty down jackets, ordinary fabrics."

For down jackets made of ordinary fabrics, the base price for Liu Feng's agent is 30 taels, and 30 pieces, that is 900 taels.

Well, before the next New Year's Eve, the embroidery room will be full of work.

Chen Nianguan took the order with a smile, the banknotes, and the size left by the customer for this batch of clothes, and after taking them into the embroidery room for Du Juan, he looked at his little cousin, "Not bad, and took such a big order again, who is it?"

"Hey, it's the steward of Xiao Seventh Master's family! It's probably made for his brothers, brothers, sisters and sisters."

"A brother, brother, sister, and sister in charge can afford to wear a 32-piece down jacket?" Chen Nianguan expressed doubts.

"Then Master Ming Hai said that Xiao Seventh Master's family is the richest man in Capital City, so maybe the manager bought it back and gave it away!"

When Chen Nianguan thought about it, it seemed to make sense.

"Liu Feng!" On the other side of the corridor, Liu He also came back from Ping'er Village. He was looking for Liu Feng, but when he saw Chen Nianguan, he also came over: "Cousin!"

"What do you want me to do?" Liu Feng looked at Liu He.

"That's right, you should go to Ping'er Village tomorrow!" Liu He said.

"Why?"

"I'll go if I tell you!" Liu He pulled Liu Feng, "Call my second brother too."

"What's the matter?" Chen Nianguan couldn't help asking.

Liu He glanced at Liu Feng and smiled, "Then what, cousin, didn't I see you buying land in Ping'er Village? I want to discuss with the two of them whether our family should also buy a piece of land in Ping'er Village."

"Buy land?"

Liu He has actually bought 20 acres of wasteland in Pinger Village, which is next to the wasteland bought by Chen Nianguan.

He also plans to hire the guys who are now working for Shi Cunqi and Chen Nianguan to rebuild a farmyard for himself.

Since he came to Capital City, he has inquired about the housing prices in Capital City. It is definitely not affordable for ordinary people like him who are thousands of miles away, but his sister is the head chef of the restaurant owned by his cousin, which means that he may settle here in the future.Well, as an older brother, he couldn't afford a house in Capital City, so he might as well build a house for the Liu family in Ping'er Village not far from Capital City, which can be regarded as a support for his sister.

"Well, that's a good idea."

Liu Qing heard about Liu He's plan, nodded, and looked at her younger brother, "How much is the wasteland in Ping'er Village per mu?"

"Now it's one tael of silver."

"Wasteland is so expensive?"

"That's right, the land next to the imperial city is expensive." Liu He said.

It happened that the farm and poultry factory that supplied the ingredients for the restaurant were both in Ping'er Village, and Ping'er Village was surrounded by mountains and rivers, so the environment was superior, so Liu He gritted his teeth and bought it.

Didn't you see my cousin also bought it?Follow my cousin, that's right.

"Do you have this idea?" Liu He asked.

Liu Feng rolled his eyes.

Well, they wanted to go all the way to Pinger Village to buy land and build a house, but he secretly bought a farm in the suburbs of Beijing. In fact, it didn't matter to him whether he wanted to go to Pinger Village to buy land and build a house.

"Yeah!" Liu Qing thought for a while, then nodded, "Then let's buy it too."

The brothers haven't separated yet, so they bought land and built a house together.

So the two bought a total of 100 mu. The two families originally planned to pay fifty taels each, but Liu Qing returned Liu He's ten taels, paid forty taels by himself, and then asked Liu Feng: "You can be regarded as the head of the family.You have earned money by doing work, and you should pay a share of this money."

Liu Feng didn't say anything, and readily took out the thirty-five taels that Liu He brought to him earlier.

But a mere few dozen taels of silver is nothing to Liu Xiaolang, the rich son of a thousand taels today.

Now that you have decided to buy land, it is natural to do some on-site inspections.

So the next day, the three brothers went to Pinger Village together.

After about a month of construction, Shi Cunqi's farm in Ping'er Village has been completed, and according to Chen Nianguan's request, the construction of a house is also started on a piece of wasteland that was first cleared.

Liu He took Liu Qing and Liu He to look around, and the wasteland he was looking for was also near the wasteland bought by Chen Nianguan, so he went to the village head of Pinger Village, and heard that the three gentlemen were going to buy Pinger VillageNearly one hundred acres of wasteland on the other side of the mountain, people are stunned.

One hundred mu, that is one hundred taels of silver?

What are these three gentlemen buying these wastelands with such a large sum of money?

Naturally, he wanted to open up wasteland and farm!

The Liu family are all peasants, and they have such an unusual love for the fields.

After many years of digging in the ground, it is still possible to tell whether the wasteland is good or bad.

Isn't the field in Liujia Village passed down from generation to generation?Ping'er Village is rich in water sources, but it's just a lack of manpower to reclaim the wasteland here.

Just like Shi Cunqi's 100 acres of fertile land, isn't it just reclaimed first and then cultivated with fertilizers and plants from generation to generation?

They bought this wasteland first, and then hired people to slowly open it up acre by acre.

As for building a house, I naturally hope that they will have a place of their own in Capital City.

Bought land and a house in Pinger Village, isn't that half a Capital City person?

When the head of Ping'er Village saw that some gentlemen were willing to buy the worthless wasteland in the village, he was naturally willing. After buying the wasteland, he had to hire someone to open it, which meant that the boys in the village had jobs again.If a house is built here, don't people have to live in it?

It's the acquaintances of Dong Shi's family and Master Chen's again. If there are more rich and powerful people living here, Ping'er Village will be more popular!

So the three brothers followed the village chief to Baihua Village, and went to ask Bai Lichang to apply for the title deed.

To go from Pinger Village to Baihua Village, one had to pass at the foot of the mountain, and when he saw the forest behind the wasteland that was about to be bought, Liu He couldn't help talking about his plan again.

When building a house, he had to build a charcoal-burning kiln. He went up the mountain to cut down trees and dragged them to the kiln to burn charcoal. This would not only be used for restaurants, but also for his own use.

Moreover, the firewood in the restaurant can also be supplied by him, especially for roasting duck, don't you have to find fruit trees for firewood?At that time, go directly to the mountains to find wild fruit trees and cut them down.

When he came here to check the poultry breeding situation, he took the time to go to the mountain. He knew that the mountain was called Xiaoyan Mountain..

Listening to his cousin's plan, Liu Qing nodded frequently, "If there is no owner of the mountain, the crops and trees in this mountain forest can be taken freely, but if there is a master mountain, it would be bad to restrict access."

"Then, wouldn't it be enough to buy this Little Yanshan?"

Liu Feng also looked up at the snow-capped Xiaoyan Mountain covered with dead trees.

"It's easy to say, do you think I haven't thought about this idea?" Liu He glanced at Liu Feng and said, "When I decided to buy the land, I thought about buying this Xiaoyan Mountain."

But money is not enough.

"How much?"

"The village chief said, at least one thousand taels."

Liu Qing tsk tsk!

The sum of money and silver on him and his two younger brothers is not one thousand taels.

But Liu Qing completely underestimated his brother's ability to earn money.

One thousand taels.

Liu Feng thought of Plan S.

Isn't it just one thousand taels?

When the batch of down clothes that Steward Xiao Liu asked for was finished, he still had 2600 taels besides the 1,000 taels that had to be saved and returned to Xiao Seventh Master.

Alright, he knew what he was going to do with the two thousand taels.

First buy this little Yanshan.

Then there is an extra hill in his estate.

It seems that among the Liu family's sons, the one with the most property and the most promising is him, Liu Xiaofeng!

Later, Liu Feng really called Liu Quanman to come forward and bought this Xiaoyan Mountain.

Fearing that the trees on Xiaoyan Mountain would not be enough for Liu He to cut down, he bought the adjacent Paoma Mountain for a total of 2,400 taels.

For the remaining two hundred taels, asked Liu Quanman to find a few dozen acres of fertile land outside the farm and buy them. In the end, there were only fifty taels left. This small amount of money finally allowed Liu Feng to carry it back to Xianggui Street with peace of mind.I'm not afraid that Liu He will find out.

Even if he finds out, he's not afraid. Could it be that he, as the eldest brother, is ashamed to ask himself for the little money he got as an agent for down clothes?

If he dares to ask for it, he can tell about his debt of two thousand taels, hum!

Thinking about it this way, Liu Feng finally felt completely relaxed!
