Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 140
The second master of the Hong family became more and more gloomy. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the rice dumplings were sent by Hong Haoan, and he mentioned it to Puhuang when he came back. Afterwards, when Puhuang passed by, he would glance at him, as Hong Haoan said. .But Mrs. Xia doesn't look like a widow not long ago. She dresses fancy all day long and her face is painted white and pink. Although she doesn't go out of the gate, she sits in the courtyard and anyone who passes by the gate can see it.

Everyone in the village knew that Mrs. Xia was going to remarry, and they looked down on them very much. Sometimes that idle bastard would come to the door of the old house and talk about teasing Mrs. Xia indecently, which made the second master of the Hong family angry. He rushed out with a pole, but since he was paralyzed last time, he couldn't run and easily lost his balance.

After several times like this, people in the village began to have opinions. If there are more people like bastards, other daughters-in-law and girls will be molested. If you go out of the village, you don't have to spoil the atmosphere in the village.

About ten days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Hong Haoan went to the city to talk to Chufen about the lo-mei shop. Chufen would show him the account books every month, and the money would be paid on time. After half a year, the lo-mei shop had already gained a reputation. , It is very famous in the whole Bihu County, and even the business travelers who come and go will bring a lot of them, and the word of mouth is very good.

Chu Fen did not expect that Hong Hao'an would withdraw from the partnership. He felt a little embarrassed, and looked at each other several times with the Xu family, both of whom felt rather apprehensive.For more than half a year, this lo-mei shop has become the focus of their life and career, and they have spent a lot of effort on it.If Hong Hao'an said at this time that he wanted to break up the gang, the secret recipe was his, and he could take it away. They had absolutely no choice.

Seeing the changing expressions of the two couples in front of him, Hong Haoan knew that they might think too much, so he directly stated his and Puhuang's plans without delay, "This lo mei shop is mainly because you are busy. It’s also on track. My wife and I have thought about it carefully. The secret recipe can be sold to you. In the future, we will no longer take a share of the store’s income, and we will not participate in the store’s affairs. Think about it, and if you want, we can talk about it The price thing."

Needless to say, Chu Fen and his wife were surprised, they knew how important this secret recipe was, and Hong Hao'an wanted to sell the secret recipe to himself, it was inconceivable to think about it.

"Hao'an, although I don't know why you want to withdraw, but you really thought it through when you sold the secret recipe to me?" With the secret recipe, he can open more than one store and pass the secret recipe on to his descendants, generation after generation. That was a huge fortune, wouldn't Hong Hao'an feel it a pity?
Hong Haoan smiled, "It is impossible for me to sell you the complete secret recipe, but I can give you the recipe that is added to the stewed soup every month, as long as your pot of stewed soup is not bad You can pass it on from generation to generation." After a pause, he still had a condition, "I will leave the prescription to you, and we can discuss the price, but I have a request, and I will not open another one in Bihu County. The same shop. Of course, you also know that I also rely on this recipe for food, so we should avoid each other."

When Xu heard this, she stretched out her hand to pull the corner of Chufen's clothes. She agreed with Hong Haoan's proposal. There are so many cities, no matter how powerful Hong Haoan is, there is no way to open every place. In the future, her family will expand , there will be no conflict.

Chu Fen frowned, he was hesitating, and after a while, he said: "Hao'an, we use the same recipe, and the taste will be the same, and when you open a store in the future, I will use the same name as your store. "

Hong Hao'an listened, smiled, and did not object, changing the name, of course he would change it, after all, he is the real owner of this secret recipe, but I am afraid that there will not be many people who will understand the relationship between these two stores in the future .

Now that we have agreed, the next thing we will talk about is the price. The stewed soup is worth 50 taels, and the prescription is also counted. After all, we are partners and have a very good relationship. We gave a preferential price, and the stewed soup is only 100 taels. [-] taels, and did not ask for a one-time payment.

In this way, the two parties went to the county government office together, wrote down the contract in triplicate, and kept the originals separately.Since then, Hong Hao'an has no longer been a part of the lo-mei shop's ownership.

"Ziping, you just let the shop go out like this?" Lu Yuan walked to Hong Hao'an's side and watched him fold the contract and put it next to him.

"Now we are breaking up, we are still brothers, maybe when we turn against each other, I might as well take a step back, I don't see anything bad." Hong Hao'an smiled, this lo mei shop is actually a test of water, and at the same time it is a place to accumulate wealth The first step, after all, neither he nor Puhuang lived in the county town, so they could only go through a partnership.

Besides, the money from selling dried fish recipes alone this year should be enough for him and Puhuang to move to Chuncheng. Pick a good place too.

"There are not many people who can think like you. Now that you can walk and run, what are your plans? You have a family now, it is impossible to walk with darts, and you will not go with a caravan. I guess, the most likely thing is Is there anything I can do to help you do business?" These days, the relationship between Lu Yuan and Hong Haoan can be said to be very good, and they call each other their names in private.

"Runzhi, I'm not in a hurry, I'll talk about it when my body recovers better. By the way, is there any news about my stepmother and little sister?" Hong Haoan tilted his head slightly, he doesn't care about Wu's name now, This mother and daughter really disappeared without a trace, so Mr. Liu can't ask anything.

That incident back then has been stuck, Hong Haoan remembered a few details, Lu Yuan came up with some conclusions based on those details, but stuck, and there was no progress for a long time.

"No, but what is certain is that they have left Liu's house. Several beggars have seen them. Although Mr. Liu said that they escaped, I think they were taken away by people who Mr. Liu knew. My intuition tells me that this person is very important, maybe Hong Haobao was killed by him." Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and said.

"It's fine if there's no news, don't worry about their life and death. How are you doing now, is the prefect still looking for trouble for you?"

"Oh, let me try some old cases, and you are also critical of me. The previous county magistrate has done nothing. I haven't given any orders in the past six months. It was the magistrate who tripped me. After another six months, if I still have nothing to do, He can use this as a reason to impeach me, and it is said that there will be imperial envoys to make inspections this year, and they will come to Bihu County at the end of the year." The two stood on the drill ground of the county government, watching the servants practicing.

Hong Haoan narrowed his eyes and looked at the familiar people inside, "How about Captain Chen? He came down from the battlefield and is not pedantic. Can he be trained as your right-hand man?"

"I know he is related to you, and I haven't found any problems, so I'm considering training him." As an official, who doesn't have a few confidantes and capable men?He is more difficult and has to be trained temporarily.

"If you need help with something, ask someone to find me in the village. I won't go to the city anymore if I don't have anything to do recently."

Leaving from the back door of the county government office, Hong Hao'an went to the grocery store to buy a lot of spices and medicinal materials needed, and then went to the medical clinic to find Dr. Lin. Although he is almost better now, he should check again.The result is quite satisfactory, the legs and feet are almost in good condition, and he can only start to bear weight after half a year of recuperation, and he was also given a medicated diet, which can be eaten by both husband and wife, which can adjust the body and make it easier to conceive.

It's rare that Hong Hao'an also blushed, but he was still looking forward to it. After all, who was the father of two or three children of his age, he would inevitably wonder in his heart.

Puhuang doesn't care much about how much the secret recipe of braised meat is sold for. Recently, the wild bayberry on the mountain has begun to ripen, and those children, even adults, are running up the mountain all day long. Throughout the year, only these wild fruits can satisfy their hunger.

Puhuang missed the two bayberry trees in the valley, and felt like several cats' paws were scratching her heart, she was very greedy, not because she didn't want to go, but because she promised Hong Hao'an last time that she would take him with her when she wanted to go. Don't break your promise and get fat.

Puhuang became more and more undisguised in front of Hong Haoan, especially the use of mental power. When he asked, she also explained a little bit. The black bayberry in the valley is big and sweet, and it is not the same as wild bayberry. .

The two took their baskets to the tree and picked them non-stop. Puhuang used both hands and mental strength.As soon as the red bayberry is ripe, it will fall quickly. It will be eaten by insects and birds, and it will soon fall to the fertile ground.The larger bayberry tree picked four sacks, all of which were dyed plum red by the bayberry juice, and two sacks were picked from the smaller one. With so many, I could sell some of them or pickle them myself.

The peaches that hadn’t been picked last time were almost gone, and the few remaining treetops also had worms, and the Pu Huang was so depressed that they were all swept into the lake to feed the fish.But with so many red bayberries, the harvest is still great. At the junction of the mountains, there are few people coming, so all kinds of wild fruits are cheap for bugs and birds.

The news that Hong Hao'an and Puhuang had picked delicious red bayberries was spread by those little furry kids. They didn't know why they followed them, and each of them took a small bag of wild fruits in exchange.For these children, Hong Hao'an couldn't bear to be harsh, so he cheerfully changed them.

It has to be said that these little kids know more about wild fruits than Puhuang, and they pick and exchange them very well. Puhuang is not so stingy. Sometimes Hong Haoan is not around, and she agrees to exchange it.

After pickling several jars of bayberries, Puhuang drew the attention of plums again. The taste is very sour, but it can be used to make jam. Hong Haoan mentioned it a little bit last time, but she remembered that these things have to be tested. Find something that makes money, and by then, today's hard work will be worth it.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the days are cloudless, and there is no rain. Some fields in the field have been dried up. The experienced old people feel that it is not good. The village has also begun to mobilize and take various precautions. At this time, something happened in the old house.
