Master Peng held the recipe and walked away happily, his steps brisk, obviously he couldn't wait to try making the new recipe.
Shopkeeper Li looked proud and praised with joy: "Miss Chen, these recipes are really amazing! You have really helped me a lot!"
I can have one this year. What a great year!
Chen Wanbai, on the other hand, was much calmer. Only the panicked money in her arms reminded her of this real gain.
Shopkeeper Li put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Miss Chen, last time you said that something happened at home and you were in urgent need of money. You have helped me several times, and now I should repay you."
Chen Wanbai frowned slightly, with some doubts in his eyes.
Shopkeeper Li saw this and continued: "I have a cousin who opened a teahouse in the county. If you sell these recipes to him, the price will be higher than what I gave you. "
Chen Wanbai couldn't help but ask: "Shopkeeper Li, since you are relatives and friends, why don't you just give the prescription to him?"
Shopkeeper Li laughed and said: "Hahaha, little girl, you still don't understand the rules of this. If I give him the prescription for nothing, he will have to pay more."
Chen Wanbai is old, carefully. As soon as I thought about it, I suddenly understood the key to this. I have to say that shopkeeper Li is really a smart man with a good brain.
Although the Li family and the Xiong family are related by marriage, they are two levels apart. If his family knew that he had given this prescription as a gift, they would probably give him more things in return.
As a result, the relatives of the two families will talk behind their backs, saying that the Xiong family has taken advantage of the Li family. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let Chen Wanbai sell his son, which would show the true feelings between the two.
And Chen Wanbai made another fortune and remembered shopkeeper Li’s kindness. If there is a new recipe in the future, Shopkeeper Li will definitely be given priority. This not only preserves family ties, but also consolidates business opportunities. It really kills two birds with one stone.
"Shopkeeper Li, how can I find your cousin?"
"I just have goods to deliver to the county today, and I will ask the clerk to bring him a message. Just go to the teahouse to find him in the next few days. If your cousin knows that I introduced him, he will definitely treat you well."
"Thank you, shopkeeper Li." Chen Wanbai nodded.
Shopkeeper Li waved his hand and replied: "It's a win-win situation, so there's no need to say thank you. It's just that if good things happen in the future, you should be the first to think of me."
"Shopkeeper Li , Even though you said that, I got the benefit after all. Then I can't take advantage of it in vain, I still have a piece of money to give to you." After Chen Wanbai finished speaking, he quickly wrote a piece of cake. Pi Fangzi.
......
After leaving Jumingxuan, Chen Wanbai strode across the street. He untied the reins and drove the bullock cart, preparing to go to the county government again.
With the money she earned this time, she stillI have no intention of telling Mrs. Liu, just like last time.
In the past, she always felt that since she was often on the road, it would be more appropriate to leave her money to Liu for safekeeping.
But when she asked Ms. Liu for money to buy materials the last few times, Ms. Liu always refused, and even refused to let go on the grounds that her family still owed foreign debts.
She made a rough estimate and found that Ms. Liu had at least more than sixty taels of silver in her hand, but Ms. Liu insisted that fifty taels should be used to pay off the debt, and the rest should be saved for emergencies. .
In fact, Chen Wanbai could somewhat understand Liu's mentality. Most people are like this. Only when they have some spare money in their hands can they feel at ease.
But now that winter is approaching, even money to buy food is tight, but Mrs. Liu always says that there is no need to eat too well, talking about the past, even wild vegetable bran porridge can make do with it.

A typical no-frills meal!
If you can’t understand or convince, then that’s it.
Everyone has their own opinions, and if you can't change them, then just stick to your own opinions like her.
With a rough memory, the ox cart drove all the way to the gate of the county government office, and Chen Wanbai tied the ox cart to a tree not far away. He straightened his clothes and walked towards the ivory door.
The gatekeeper of the county government is not very strict, but the serious faces of the government officials on both sides of the gate make people afraid to come forward. Chen Wanbai looked around and found that these two government servants were very unfamiliar, not the ones she had known before.
She stepped forward, bowed, and explained her purpose to one of the government officials.
After hearing this, the yamen servant nodded slightly, gestured for her to follow, and led her into the county yamen gate. The two walked through the long corridor, crossed the Yimen, and came to a row of rooms on the right. Among them, the "official room" and the "household room" were connected, just like the last time she came.
"Go in by yourself." The yamen officer pointed to one of the rooms and said calmly, then turned and left.
Entering the room, the same old clerk from before was immersed in sorting documents in front of the case. Hearing the noise, he raised his head and glanced, his eyes fell on Chen Wanbai, and then asked: "What are you here for?"
"Grandpa, it's me. I'm here to buy land again this time." Chen Wanbai responded with a smile.
The old clerk heard her voice and immediately smiled: "Why are you wearing men's clothes today?"
"Grandpa, you also know my situation. It's safer to be away from home. "
The old clerk nodded and expressed his understanding: "You are here alone, so why not buy wasteland this time?"
Chen Wanbai shook his head: "Food grown in wasteland. If the harvest is not good, there will not be enough food. ”
The wasteland has no fertility. Although the wasteland where rapeseed was grown was urgently fertilized, it is still not enough. As a result, the rapeseed grows sparsely, and it is already foreseeable what the harvest will be next year.
At the beginning of the month, Chen Wanbai went to the village to find the village chief and wanted to find out if there was any land to buy. Since no one in the village was selling land, the village chief flipped through the book in his hand and found a quite suitable land.
The plot of land covers about five acres. Although it is far from the village, it is quite close to Chen Wanbai's house, and it is less than two-quarters of an hour's walk away.
It is said that a few years ago, a wealthy man from other places heard that this land was suitable for growing water chestnuts, so he spent money to buy these five acres of land.
Water chestnuts were very popular in those years and were widely planted in the south. Good water chestnuts were sold to the capital for a high price. 1
But this gentleman was unlucky. He had been planting water chestnuts for two years, but he didn't see any good harvest, so he left it alone. The land was far away from the village. The villagers thought it was troublesome and no one was willing to take it over. In the end, the land was taken back by the government.
At that time, when Chen Wanbai heard the village chief mention the five acres of land, he became interested. The village chief also said that the land was very fertile. If his own land was not so abundant that it was impossible to cultivate, he would have bought it himself.
Later she also went to look at the fields and found that they were indeed very fat.
Chen Wanbai originally wanted to buy this land and plant winter wheat. Unfortunately, he was short of money at the time and could not get enough money, so he had to give up temporarily.
However, she still greeted the village chief and said that she would definitely buy the land after making money.
Today I came to the county town not only to sell my son, but also to buy this land.
