Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 119 Mid-Autumn Festival
Watermelon lanterns, piggy lanterns, rabbit lanterns, and a big octagonal lantern.

The courtyard of Qin Shao's house was brightly lit.

There are two merged tables in the yard, on which are placed melon seeds, peanuts, brown sugar, and cut watermelons.

There are also mooncakes with various fillings:
Big meat, egg yolk, bean paste, sweet potato and five-nut mooncakes.

There were only three people in the family before, but now there are two more hired workers, and it has become five people, which is even more lively.

The jobs hired in the store are all local people, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is also going back for the festival.

Jin Da is now also a job in the store.

It was Jin Da, who used to carry the burden of selling oil, and his wife was Mrs. Jin.

When Qin Shao and the others first came to Jingshan and had no land to live in, they lived in their house.

Knowing that Qin Shao opened a shop, he also helped for a few days under the urging of Mrs. Jin.

After staying for a few days, I found that the work in their shop is wages plus commission, and the income after a year is not much worse than that of selling oil in the streets.

Not to mention his hard work in the streets and alleys, sometimes he can't work when it's windy, rainy or snowy.

A few years ago, when it was snowing, he went out to sell oil and fell. Not only did he spill a lot of oil, but he still lay on the bed for more than a month before he recovered.

General Jin told the old lady about the situation, and the old lady Jin instructed her son to ask Qin Shao if he wanted a job, and if it happened, he could recommend himself.

Qin Shao really needs a job, especially Jin Da, who has been walking around the streets for many years and is very familiar with retail sales, and although he is not very literate, he can still settle accounts.

In these days, there are many people who work hard, but there are not many who can read a little bit and can do accounts.

Jin Da was interested, and Qin Shao was of course what he wanted, so he directly promoted Qin Shao to be a small foreman, and taught him how to attract business, so the wages would naturally be higher.

Mrs. Jin was very happy when she found out, her old eyes were a little blurred, so she made two pairs of shoes for Qin Shao.

Qin Shao is not bad at shoes, Han Jinrong is now taking the little maid Lancao (that is, the maid and servant I bought earlier, the servant is called Shunzi) to make a lot of shoes for him.

It's just that this is the wish of Mrs. Jin, so Qin Shao naturally accepted it.

Even though Mrs. Jin is old, Qin Shao still likes her transparency and kindness.

Their home is a little far from the store here, and Mrs. Jin is old and needs to be taken care of.

Old Man Zhu's house has always been empty and prone to decay, so Qin Shao asked his mother and son to move to Old Man Zhu's house first, so that it would be convenient for Jin Da to go to work and look after the shop.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Shao asked Han Jinrong to also call their mother and son to celebrate the festival together.

Han Jinrong and Lancao were making tea on the tea stove, and the third son and Shunzi were making gestures with sticks in the yard. Wang Yin watched them, and went up to make gestures from time to time.

Jin moved the chair towards the table to prevent the three people from touching the table and chairs.

Mrs. Jin sat on a chair next to the table, watching the excitement with a smile.

Qin Shao came out of the study and looked at all this with an unprecedented sense of comfort and peace.

The peace he longed for in his previous life has come true in this Daming!
Even though he suffered a lot at the beginning, now it seems that he has suffered a lot.

He couldn't help but search for Han Jinrong's voice.

She sat by the tea stove and taught Orchid how to make tea.

Today, she is suspiciously well-dressed, with a moon-white cocoon silk top, a lake-blue Hunan skirt, and a clear jade hairpin on her head. With her jade-like face, she is swaying and charming.

Qin Shao felt his heart beat.

Han Jinrong seemed to notice Qin Shao's gaze.

looked up at him.

She pursed her lips and smiled at him, as charming as a delicate rose.

"Father!"

Han Jinrong stood up to say hello.

When the others heard the movement, they also turned around and called Qin Shao "Master Qin".

Qin Shao bowed his fists to everyone, saying that it was like his own home, so there was no need to be restrained.

Everyone laughed and sat down on each other.

"Old lady, it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious mooncake, and there are so many flavors!"

They had already eaten earlier, and now it was time for dessert to watch the moon.

Mrs. Jin took a bite of the egg yolk mooncake and praised it as delicious.

"This is all the prescription given by Master Qin. I followed it. I don't know if the talisman suits everyone's taste?"

Han Jinrong was a little embarrassed and kept looking at Qin Shao, wanting to hear his opinion.

Everyone said it was delicious, but Qin Shao was still tasting it.

They cut all kinds of flavors into small pieces and eat them with tiny wooden skewers.

"Well, it tastes good, similar to what I used to eat!"

Qin Shao boasted.

In fact, this mooncake has different flavors in previous lives, and there is seldom a unified one.

However, Han Jinrong is really talented in cooking. He briefly mentioned some recipes, and what she basically cooked was pretty much the same.

"Well, since Lord Qin agrees, next year I will make more mooncakes and sell them in the store! Lord, you don't know, I made some two days ago, cut them into small pieces, and bought them in the store Customers can taste two small pieces, and many people praised it, and asked where they bought it, and I said I made it myself, and they asked if they could sell it!"

Han Jinrong was also a little proud when she said it.

"By the way, Lord, I also gave gifts to Prince Xing's Mansion on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I also sent some mooncakes of various flavors. I just don't know if it is suitable. After all, it is the Palace of the Prince, so I made the pastries..."

Han Jinrong suddenly thought of this, feeling a little embarrassed.

"The gift is light and the affection is heavy. Just give it as a gift. It's not good to be too deliberate. You've done a good job!"

Qin Shao praised with a smile, which made Han Jinrong's face turn red.

"Master Qin, you have tried it in this yard, and you will be a scholar master in the future. When the time comes, the land will be re-booked, and the land will be rent-free."

Mrs. Jin suddenly brought up this topic. She heard these children say that Master Qin must be admitted to the scholar.

I feel the need to remind.

The old lady liked this young man very much since she first met Qin Shao, and she kept encouraging her son to get closer with Qin Shao and the others.

Even though she may have her own plans, the old lady treats them well from the bottom of her heart.

When they couldn't find a hotel to live in, they were just foreigners with unknown identities at that time, but Mrs. Jin still enthusiastically took them home to live in.

Qin Shao kept these kindnesses in his heart.

"Thank you ma'am for your concern. I know that if I can pass the exam, I will definitely go to do it early, and the rent for the next year's land will be waived!"

Qin Shao laughed.

Isn't it a kind of happiness to have someone copy your heart for yourself?
"My master will become a scholar in the future, and I will be a servant of the scholar!"

The third son said proudly, which made everyone laugh out loud.

"Master, Zhang Dazhuang has made arrangements for the field. I went to see it a few days ago. The rice for the second season has been planted. Previously, the wheat and early rice were in the warehouse. If there is a shortage of food in the store, they will be delivered directly." , and other crops are growing well!"

Wang Yin talked about the situation on the other side of the field.

"Well, just hand over the field to Zhang Dazhuang, and the dog is responsible for the purchase. There are not enough people to work in the busy field, so let them hire some short-term labor! The purchase of cattle is not enough, and you can help buy two mules and horses."

Qin Shao confessed.

"Yes, sir!"

"By the way, the field has been arranged, so you don't have to worry about things there. If they want to buy something, ask Gouzi to tell Miss Han that you go out with me in a few days."

"Yes!"

Wang Yin agreed again.

"Grandpa, are you going out?"

Han Jinrong asked in surprise.

"Master, where are you going? Can I go together!"

Little Sanzi likes to be lively the most, as soon as he hears about it, he will work hard!
"I bought that piece of land, so I have to check it out again! Third son, don't go, you help look after the house at home, and read more books with the girl. Since you want to be my servant in the future, you can't read well!"

"Father..."

The third son was so wronged that he just wanted to cover his mouth. He was most afraid of reading.

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Even though Xiao Sanzi likes to learn martial arts, it's better to know more characters.

When he stayed at home, Han Jinrong would always arrange some books for him to read, or help with the accounting at the counter.

This will be good for him in the future.

"Then I'll help you buy some things for the next few days. There's only a desolate village over there with no shops. You always have to bring something to eat."

Han Jinrong thought of the poverty of the village and the people they borrowed from when they went there earlier.

I don't know what's going on with that family now?

Qin Shao nodded in agreement, this little girl is really caring.

If it was in the previous life, it would definitely shine in the workplace.

……

The next day, Qin Shao got up and packed up the things he was going to use for departure.

Even if Han Jinrong arranges it properly, there are still some private things that she needs to prepare by herself.

He was wondering if he should bring a change of underwear.

There was a sudden noise outside.
