The Young Husband and His Disabled Son-in-Law

When the store opened the next day, Tian Ji put up a sign that there were new products.

Originally, because of the cold weather, a lot of people came to eat hot pots, so the store was always busy. Now that I heard that there are new products, everyone wants to try them.

As a result, I heard the shopkeeper Tian Yao say: "Because it is a new product, I, Brother Qiao, am the only one who can make it, so the limit is ten pots a day."

The waiting customers were not happy when they heard this, but they were even more curious: "Tell me what new product it is."

"Then who can eat these ten pots?"

Tian Yao was in trouble for a moment. Now Yu Nian came over, holding a lottery tube in his hand: "There are ten sticks in it. It's red, and you can choose a new one if you draw it. "

This lottery tube was brought back from Yonglin Temple when they went to Xixin Mansion, but they didn't expect it to be effective now.

I have never seen anyone draw lots while eating. Everyone found it novel, so they all went to draw lots with great interest.

Those who got the draw cheered, and those who didn't got the draw naturally felt regretful. After starting to put the pot on, they kept staring at those who got the draw. When they saw a pot of red soup coming, they sneered: "Isn't this just like the spicy hotpot?" Is it the same?"

But after saying that, they felt something different, because they all smelled a strong fragrance, not the spicy smell they were used to.

So this smell made people even more itchy. Those who didn't get it stared at it eagerly, and boldly asked the people who got it if they could share a table.

Although they are all red, they do have a completely different taste from spicy. This red pot is sour, but not too sour. The sourness is fragrant, which is very appetizing.

Those who ate it teased Tian Yao: "The shopkeeper is afraid that our wallets will be too full, so he prepares something novel every now and then, which will make people's throats almost grow claws." Tian

Yao was cleaning the table after the previous guests had finished eating. The bowls and chopsticks left behind: "Isn't this, I want everyone to have a happy meal."

"I am happy to eat, but my wallet is not happy."

Tian Yao laughed: "Being able to eat and make money is a blessing. "

Looking at the sky outside, it's gloomy. It's probably going to rain. Once it rains, it's probably going to get a little colder. The snow in Xixin Prefecture usually starts to fall in the winter months.

In this case, mutton should be able to be arranged, and when winter comes, the price of charcoal fires will increase, so you can stock up on some first, so that when winter comes, the cost will be smaller.

After opening the store for so long, after excluding the corresponding costs, they have now made a lot of money. Although they paid a lot of taxes some time ago, Tian Yao felt distressed, but compared to going to jail, paying taxes is still nothing. So hard to accept.

In the evening, Tian Yao told Yu Nian what he thought. They made so much money, they couldn't earn much interest in the bank. Seeing that the weather was getting cold, Tian Yao thought: "Why don't we buy some quilts or something for Ci'an Hall?" "

The snowstorm the winter before last was so severe. I heard from Shen Qiao that a lot of people froze to death in Ci'an Hall that year. After all, the people there were poor and had nothing to eat but no warmth."

Yu Nian nodded: "I'll make the arrangements."

Tian Yao looked at him: "Do you think I'm a waste of money? I spend the money I make."

Yu Nian scratched his nose: "This is a good thing, Yao Brother is the most kind-hearted. "

In fact, they have done more than this for Ci'an Tang. Previously, during the hottest period, when business was not very good and the vegetables could not be sold out, they would use the leftovers. The vegetables and meat were delivered to Ci'an Hall.

Yu Nian said: "If it is a snowy day, you can also set up a porridge shed and give porridge."

Tian Yao hummed: "Actually, last time, the village chief also said that there were more and more people in the school. The original school That place is not enough anymore."

Yu Nian nodded. Fu Zhiming also told him that he wanted to renovate the school. The current rooms are not enough, and many people are crowded into one room. , has already affected the progress of learning. He said that when he has a child this spring, he wants to try the Tongsheng test.

"Why don't we take advantage of winter when they suspend school and renovate the school. I'm wondering if I should find another teacher. Brother Qiao is pregnant, and Fu Zhiming also wants to spend more time with him." Tian Yao said.

Yu Nian hummed: "Then wait for the village chief to come to town and discuss it with him. We can pay for the repairs of the school, but if they re-hire the teacher, they need to pay their own share of the repair money. This year, in the village, "People's lives are better."

Tian Yao added: "I want to separate a classroom on the other side of the school so that the girls and brothers can also have a class so that they can also read and write.

" Nian touched his hair: "Okay, just as you said."

They thought so and discussed it with Shen Qiao the next day. Shen Qiao also agreed and said that he could also contribute some money. Tian Yao had given him a lot of dividends during this period. He and Fu Zhiming were not squanderers and had saved a lot of money: "Of course, good things must be done together by everyone. I also want to save money for the child in my belly." "Blessed."

So it was decided, and they asked someone to go back to the village to deliver the message. The village chief came to the town the next day. Yu Nian told the village chief what they had discussed. After hearing this, the village chief just said He said he couldn't help it, but after being persuaded by them, he burst into tears again, saying that he was really lucky to meet Tian Yao's family.

"We'd better agree on something first, village chief. We will only provide the village with money to repair the school, but we will not be responsible for Mr. Shu and Shu Xiu. Each family still has to contribute their own money."

"This is natural. "It's natural."

"One more thing, since we want to repair the school, I also have a request of my own." Tian Yao said with a serious look on his face.

"What?"

"When I am repairing the school, I will separate a classroom to teach girls and boys."

The village chief was stunned: "But there has never been a precedent for girls and boys to be literate. "

Yu Nian listened to their conversation and then said: "Village Chief, you have always lived in a mountain village, so naturally you don't know much about the situation outside. Your Majesty has recommended numerous policies to improve the relationship between women and brothers. status in this world."

The village chief didn't speak for a while, he was a little at a loss.

"Village Chief, do you know? The Queen has grown up with His Majesty since he was a child. The knowledge that Your Majesty has learned has also been learned by the Queen. During the great chaos in the capital a few years ago, it was only because of the Queen that he could avert danger. Since then, Your Majesty has He has been implementing policies, because His Majesty also knows that in this world, not only men can take charge, but women can do it as well."

"Let me think about it first," the village chief swallowed. "Let me think about it.

Tian Yao nodded: "Village Chief, since you are here today, you should try the food in the store. You have never eaten before." The

village chief wanted to leave, but Yu Nian held his shoulders: "We are here. It's time to eat soon, you can try it."

The village chief had no choice but to watch the waiter in their store deliver the dishes one after another. The village chief looked at the exquisitely arranged plates of vegetables and smelled them. Judging from the rich fragrance wafting in the air, you can tell how popular their store is. Tian Yao must have been very confident at the time when he dared to buy the shop and open it.

The village chief looked at the red pot in front of him and smelled something familiar: "This is..."

"This is the fruit that the villagers were asked to grow before, but it seems that not many families grow it." Yu Nian said with a smile, He is here to have dinner with the village chief, and he is sitting in the private room upstairs. Tian Yao and the others are also busy with things in the store, so they can only stay with Yu Nian at the moment.

At this point, the village chief remembered that two families who had grown this fruit seemed to have sold it at a good price, so many people came to ask the village chief if there were any seeds left, or when they met Shen Qiao that day, Shen Qiao, Qiao gave the correct answer.

"There should be more people planting next year, and the price will definitely not be as good as this year. The village chief needs to make them mentally prepared."

The village chief nodded. He also knows that scarcity is more valuable, and more people will plant it. , naturally it is not expensive.

They had been chatting about the school, and they finished all the prepared dishes without paying attention. Yu Nian also asked the village chief if he wanted to add more dishes, but the village chief quickly refused. He didn't want to eat so much, but he was helpless. It tasted so good that he forgot about it while eating it. After eating this meal, he would have to pay half a cent to a tael of silver!

After seeing that the village chief had finished eating, Yu Nian helped him go downstairs. When he went downstairs, the village chief glanced at Yu Nian's legs and said, "Is your leg all healed?" "

Yes, it's healed."

After saying "Amitabha" for a long time, he thought of something again: "Is there any strange person coming to the door now? You should be careful."

Yu Nian knew what he was talking about, and sincerely thanked him for his concern. He was able to meet Tian Yao , it all depends on the compassion of the village chief. If the village chief's heart is darker, he can be dismissed casually. It is hard to say whether he can survive again.

"Then you still have to be careful. It's best not to show up in crowded places." The village chief added.

Yu Nian sent the village chief to the car shed and watched him drive the bullock cart away before returning to the store. While he was on the road, he kept thinking about what the village chief said. Feng Zhe was indeed the one who was living a stable life. If you want to continue to live a good life with Brother Yao, you must deal with the Feng family's affairs. However, the people behind the Feng family must be high-ranking officials of the original Cangfu, otherwise the parents' case will not be resolved so quickly. In time, the case will be finalized, the house will be ransacked, and the person will be beheaded.

He doesn't seem to have the ability to compete with the Feng family now. He has money, but it's not too much. The Yu family, which was so rich back then, was also destroyed by them. They should still have power, but power Where does it come from? Even if he takes part in the imperial examination now, he won't be able to climb so fast, so this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, it doesn't matter to him, but it will not be good to involve Brother Yao and his friends. .

Yu Nian sighed and put on a smile when he saw Tian Yao.

Winter is the best time for the store's business. When there are many customers, there is even a long queue at the door. Tian Yao and the others can only barely comfort themselves by setting up a shed outside the store and providing hot soup.

In the winter, the store reached an agreement with the lamb sellers. They limited the supply of one lamb per day. They froze the lamb and then cut it into small rolls. It looked good and was delicious, but the limit was still limited to customers. Many old customers Gourmets queued up early in the morning just to try the limited supply of sour soup pot and mutton rolls.

In short, this winter, the business in the store was booming. Tian Yao and the others even went to Ci'an Hall to hire several workers to help. In short, they made a lot of money.
