fool from heaven

Chapter 14

In the afternoon, Yuan Bao locked himself in the kitchen mysteriously. Wen Lang and Wen Yu wanted to go in several times, but Yuan Bao blasted him out.

Wen Yan knew what Yuan Bao was doing, and couldn't help being very grateful in his heart, so he simply let him do it.Sitting on the kang, I practice embroidery with a piece of rag.

He summed up, now he has more than 17 taels of silver on hand, and after going to Dr. Chen's five taels of medicine money, there are still 12 taels left.

In Fengyu County, six or seven taels of silver is almost enough to rent a stall facing the street.

This kind of stall is a small countertop that expands outside the shop of someone else's house. The place is not big, and it is somewhat similar to the small milk tea shops on both sides of the modern market.

The vast majority of vendors rent this kind of shop to sell some food.Compared with the vendors who set up stalls outside, the stalls are good for shelter from the wind and rain, and it saves the trouble of going home every day.

It's just that Wen Yan wants to do underwear business, the store needs to be bigger.But now it is just getting started, and there is not enough start-up capital.He thought, or first sell some simple embroidered handkerchiefs and other small items, coupled with his embroidery skills, will always attract many customers.

After earning some capital, I will think about the shop.

Unknowingly, bursts of fragrance wafted out of the air, and Gou swallowed his mouth wateringly.

He dropped his needle and thread, moved slowly to the yard, and saw Wen Lang, Wen Yu, and little Wen Ling squatting at the door of the kitchen, and the hala was flowing all over the floor.

No prospects.

"Wen Yan, what delicious food do you make at home? It smells so delicious." Chen Liu folded his sleeves with both hands, and sneaked into the yard surreptitiously.

While talking, Yuan Bao came out with a plate of bright red shrimp, and the smell became more intense when the kitchen door was opened.

Seeing that Chen Liu's eyes were glued to the shrimp, Wen Yan sneered and said, "Come in."

Chen Liu looked at Yuan Bao, and saw that Yuan Bao ignored him, just holding the plate of shrimps, standing in front of Wen Yan as if asking for credit, like a big dog trying to please its master.

"Second Uncle, Second Uncle, there are still noodles! Oh my god, thin noodles!" Wen Lang laughed so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.

Wen Yu stretched out his arms, and followed Wen Lang like protecting a chicken, for fear that Wen Lang would become irritable and drop the noodles.

Looking at the meal, Wen Yan also opened his mouth wide in surprise.He originally thought that Yuan Bao was just messing around, and was about to sacrifice his stomach to eat Yuan Bao's dark cuisine, but he didn't expect that the meal was well prepared.

"Yuan Bao, can you cook?"

Yuan Bao laughed and said, "I can make spicy shrimp and noodles. I will cook whatever Yanyan likes to eat."

Wen Yan's face blushed subconsciously, and he pushed Yuan Bao. "Okay, let's eat."

"Chen Liu, why are you here!" Wen Lang and Wen Yu had been paying attention to the kitchen room, but didn't notice Chen Liu, and saw that this man was shamelessly sitting at his dinner table, so he hurriedly covered the shrimp.

Chen Liu used to bully his second uncle a lot with Shunzi and the others, but he had the nerve to come here today.

"I called Chen Liulai, okay, if you don't eat any more, the noodles will be lumpy."

This Chen Liu works in the county, and he knows a lot about the situation in the county. Wen Yan just wanted to ask him about the shop.

Yuan Bao didn't care about the others, and just divided the prawns for himself, and everyone got one in the bowl, and they were all thin and small.

"You can only eat one, the rest is for words."

Wen Lang and Wen Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, no such thing!

Wen Yan said with a smile: "Baby, I'm taking medicine, so I have to avoid it. I can't eat this shrimp now. Let's eat it together. When I recover from illness, can you cook it for me again?"

Yuan Bao was not happy when he heard that. "If I had known that Yanyan could not be eaten, I would not have made the shrimp. I would keep them in a basin and eat them after Yanyan is finished. Now it is just a waste of money for others."

Wen Lang and Wen Yu are like being attacked violently, what does it mean to take advantage of others, aren't they from the old Wen's family! !

Before Chen Liu touched the chopsticks, he took them back in embarrassment.He shouldn't have come in!

Wen Yan said with a smile: "How can the prawns be kept in that pot? After two days, they will definitely die. Instead, they will be wasted. Anyway, there are a lot of prawns in the river. If you want to eat them, you can fish them anytime."

"Yes, yes, brother Yuanbao, don't worry, if you want to catch prawns in the future, let Liu Zi know and promise to be there whenever you are called." Chen Liu said.

At this time, Chen Liu hadn't realized how big a hole he had dug for himself.

Yuan Bao snorted, and scooped up a big bowl of noodles for Wen Yan. "Eat more words."

Wen Lang and Wen Yu were afraid that his second uncle would regret it, so he hurriedly pulled the shrimp into the bowl. Wen Ling was small and moved slowly. Seeing that the plate of shrimp was about to fall into the mouths of the two brothers, he jumped anxiously.

The most uncomfortable thing among them is Wen Yan, who can only watch but not eat.I had to smell the aroma and eat noodles.

Not to mention, Yuan Bao's craftsmanship is really good, the noodles are thin and slippery, cooked to the right temperature, and the taste is very strong.

Chen Liu wanted to eat less, but he couldn't stop eating.

After a long time, all the food on the table was eaten up, and Wen Lang was even more exaggerated, holding the plate of spicy shrimp, he even licked the soup clean.

Chen Liu thought that they were not full, and was even more restless. He scratched his head in embarrassment, his face flushed. "Gentle me..."

"Hey, I just finished eating, and I still have something to ask you."

"I'll tell you everything I know about anything." Chen Liu was sitting upright, with a serious face.

Wen Yan burst into laughter. "Look at you, it's not an interrogation, why are you sitting so stiff."

Chen Liu smiled embarrassedly. "What do you want to inquire about?"

"Oh, that's right. I'm thinking about going to the county to rent a stall to sell some things, and I can make some income at home. It's just that I don't know much about these things, so I want to ask you if there is any suitable place."

Chen Liuyi patted his thigh and said with a smile: "I thought what was the matter, this, you are asking the right person. But I have to ask, what is your budgeted rent, I can pick a place."

"Let's go down to eight taels of silver."

Chen Liu slammed his mouth and said: "Eight taels is not too low. You can rent it in Dongshi and West Street. After negotiating the price, you can rent it at six or seven taels."

"What if it's on Main Street?"

"On the main street, I have acquaintances. It costs more than nine taels to rent a stall. If it is normal, the rent would be more than ten taels! By the way, what do you want to sell? I am just free. Let’s go and have a look for you in the next two days.”

"Thank you so much for that."

"Hey, I think we can be considered friends after this meal. You don't have to be polite between friends." Chen Liu opened his eyes wide and looked at Wen Yan with anticipation. "Let's be friends, right?"

Wen Yan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Chen Liu was a familiar person.However, if you pay one more person, there will be another way out. Besides, Chen Liu is not a bad person.

"Yes, of course friends."

Chen Liu is having fun. "Then tell me quickly, I'll go to the county tomorrow."

"I want to sell embroidered handkerchiefs and sachets and some odd accessories. The stalls should be clean and the surroundings should not be too messy."

Chen Liu secretly wrote it down. "Sure, I see. Put your heart into your stomach, and I will definitely find you a good stall."

In the past two days, Wen Yan was not idle when Chen Liu went to choose a stall. He asked Chen Liu to help him buy some top-grade bottom handkerchiefs, and embroidered handkerchiefs at home.

He gave Wen Lang another [-] Wen and told him to hire some helpers to clean up the land at home.Uncle Feng San gave him some vegetable seeds and planted them along the way.

Brothers Wen Lang and Wen Yu would take a look into the field from time to time, feeling unsatisfactory in their hearts.

Dr. Chen went out for two days, prepared all the medicinal materials, and rushed to Wen Yan for a follow-up visit today.

Taking Wen Yan's pulse, Dr. Chen sucked his lips. "It's really strange. Your body recovered so quickly. I thought you wouldn't be able to get down to the ground until today. I didn't expect you to be able to do work."

Wen Yan naturally attributed all the credit to the warm jade on his body.I thought, this warm jade is really a good thing.

Dr. Chen stroked his beard and said: "In this situation, I have to adjust the prescription, otherwise the medicine will be too strong and it will hurt my body."

"Thank you, Doctor Chen." Wen Yan said and handed over the five taels of silver.

Dr. Chen was surprised again. It's only a few days of work, and Wen Yan has money?

"Here, Wen Yan, I'm in no hurry to pay for the medicine..."

"Dr. Chen's kindness, Wen Yanxin accepts it. I pawned things two days ago and got some money, which is enough to spend. Please keep it, Doctor Chen."

"Since that's the case, then take it, but after adjusting the prescription, it won't take so much..."

"Hey, Doctor Chen, if you don't say it, I know it in my heart. During these days, you have given us a lot of time, and I remember it in my heart. At the beginning, I agreed to five taels, and it is five taels. If Doctor Chen refuses again, I will But not."

Dr. Chen quickly glanced at Wen Yan several times with his small eyes, thinking, something is wrong with Wen Yan these days, compared to before, he seems to be a different person.Could it be that he was abandoned by Mr. Rong and was stimulated, so he became sensible all of a sudden?

Wen Yan felt uncomfortable being watched by him, coughed twice, and Doctor Chen came back to his senses.

He stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "Okay, with you like this now, Wen Lang and Wen Yu can finally have someone to rely on, and the boss of the Wen family can also rest in peace."

Wen Yan: "..." The original owner is so unreliable, he has heard a lot of these words these days.

"LOL Yes."

As far as Dr. Chen's medicine is concerned, the effect is really not for nothing.After drinking for two days, Wen Yan felt much refreshed.I embroidered a few handkerchiefs and purses this day, and I didn't feel tired.

Seeing that she has embroidered a lot, Wen Yan pondered, it's time to ask Chen Liu to go to the stall together tomorrow.

Because he was going to the county to do errands, Wen Yan didn't bring a few young ones with him.Yuan Bao had to follow no matter what.

Wen Yan thought about it, and happened to take Yuan Bao to see a doctor in the county on the way.

"Wen Yan, I chose three stalls in total, two in East Market, one in West Street, and I'll take a look at the one on Main Street for you. Where do you think we should go first?"

"You know the county well, how can we save time? Oh, yes, after seeing the stalls, I'm going to Jining Hall."

"What are you going to Jining Hall for? Didn't Doctor Chen prescribe medicine for you?"

"See Yuan Bao."

"Oh." Chen Liu didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Then let's go to West Street first."

The area around West Street mostly sells antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the place is a bit secluded.Wen Yan looked at the stall and thought to himself, this place is too elegant, most of them are literati, and his embroidered handkerchief pattern also fits this place.

After watching the West Street, Chen Liu led them through Wen'an Hutong to Dongshi.

Wen'an Hutong can be regarded as a snack street, with local special snacks and hometown specialties sold by foreigners. It is the most lively alley besides the main street.

When they came over, they happened to meet some gangsters collecting protection fees.

Chen Liu glanced at it and let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?" Wen Yan asked.

"Oh, it's just strange. Did you see those people who collected protection money? These people were the ones who dragged Shunzi out and beat him up on the day you got married. But I heard that Wen'an Hutong was closed last month. It's assigned to the Rong family. Since these people collect fees here, they must be working for the Rong family."

Hearing what Chen Liu said, Wen Yan also murmured in his heart.
