Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 80 The Lantern Festival
It's the right day.

Li Kongzhu put on a new jacket with a completely new look, and glanced at a certain man who had always been calm.

Ask him if he still wants to go today?
The man glanced at her coldly, Li Kongzhu smiled flatteringly and stepped forward to hold his arm, "Still angry about what happened yesterday?"

Thinking about forcing him to go to the town yesterday, he became busy as soon as he went.

Even for lunch, he was asked to accompany Li Chong's guests. Given his temperament, where no one approached him all the time, he could bear to come back with her all day, and it was really hard for him.

"If you don't want to go today, I won't force you. I'm afraid it will be very busy at night, and I won't have time to see the lanterns." It's a rare annual Lantern Festival, and she really wants to see the ancient Shihuadeng Street, what is it like?

The man looked at her, and finally went to the closet quietly, found a crumpled coat she made for himself, and put it on, which obviously meant that he wanted to go with him.

Li Kongzhu grinned immediately, ran over to put his arms around his neck and pecked his thin lips.

"Master, did I say that I love you?"

The man's eyes were deep, and he looked down at the shining eyes in her eyes. After a while, when she let go and retreated to hug her neck, he stopped her waist to let her approach, and pressed her big palm on her small head. He pecked his lips again.

It's not very lingering, just a heavy peck purely for the purpose of turning against the guest.

Although Li Kongzhu's mouth was a little numb from the kiss, his face was also a little red.But my heart is very sweet.

"Let's go!" Pulling his sleeves, she began to jump up in front like a rabbit.

Zhao Junyi looked down at the catkin tugging at his sleeve, and unconsciously raised one corner of his lips.

The two of them went out of the yard and went to mix with the couple of Mai Ya'er.

The agreed time is Sishi, and ordinary people who watch the lanterns will only move into the city when the lanterns are sounded.

Therefore, they went out of the village all the way, and they didn't meet anyone who wanted to go to the town together.

When we arrived in the town, many merchants had already begun to decorate the entrances of their stores. There were a lot of small stalls set up, and all kinds of lanterns were hung. Can't see how beautiful it is.

When they arrived at Huifu, they saw Li Chong directing the hired temporary workers and manipulating the stage.

Seeing them, he nodded and called Zhao Mengzi to help.

Zhao Junyi at the side saw that their women were about to enter the shop, so he paused, "I'll help."

Li Kongzhu looked back and winked at him, "Okay!"

Mai Ya'er held back the words all the way, and finally found a chance to speak out after Zhao Junyi left.

"Sister-in-law, why do I feel that you are a little different from my third brother Zhao these days?"

"Is there?"

"Yes!" The eyebrows and eyes are full of spring every day.Although she also smiled before, but never laughed like this... Mai Ya'er couldn't find an adjective for a moment, but nodded her head with certainty, thinking that the two of them were a little different.

"Did something happen? Or..." She glanced away at her belly, and immediately shouted with sparkling eyes: "It really happened...ah~"

A sudden violent shudder made her cover her head, feeling extremely wronged, "Sister-in-law, why are you hitting me?"

Withdrawing the hand that hit her head, Li Kongzhu gave her a blank look, "Who told you to talk nonsense."

"Since it's not, why do you laugh like you've eaten honey every day?"

He murmured and followed into the store.Hui Niang greeted her with a smile, and seeing her slumped face, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing: "When will your mouth stop making trouble?"

Mai Ya'er scratched his head heckling, "If I don't want to make a fuss and talk coquettishly, it's better to kill me."

"Yeah!" Li Kongzhu yelled angrily from the side, "Today is considered a new year, what are you talking about? Don't mention it any more."

"I know!"

Li Kongzhu saw that she was interested, and asked Hui Niang if she had any other arrangements.

Hui Niang nodded, "The bonus cake and hawthorn sticks are almost unwrapped. Come and help me while it's early!"

"nature!"

The three of them talked and laughed, and when they entered the hut, they saw that a large pile of wrapped small gifts had been piled up there, and they were all clearly classified and piled up.If you want to win a prize, you can immediately recognize it at a glance, and you won't take it by mistake.

As for the one tael of silver, Hui Niang took out a brand new silver ingot.

Asked, "How should I pack this? Or should I use a small box to pack things?"

Li Kongzhu pondered for a while, "You don't need a very good wooden box, about the size of a palm will do. If possible, use a red plush cloth to cover it."

In fact, it is best to use golden flannelette as a foil, but it is a pity that in this era, yellow represents the royal family, and it is not a color that can be used without authorization. Even merchants cannot wear silk casually, so it is better to be cautious.

Hui Niang thought for a moment, "There is no flannel, but there is a small piece of red fur that has been dyed, may I try it?"

"Row!"

After she took out the red fur and put it in the box, she put the gleaming silver in it.

This look immediately presented a contrast.

Li Diaozhu put up the curtain, lit the lamp, and after looking at the shining point, he nodded in satisfaction, "Let's see who can win the draw tonight." At that time, I was afraid that it would be very exciting and cause a large number of consumers to come. Buy miles.

Hui Niang also nodded, wrapped the silver and put it in the inner room, and said with a smile: "Although the opening was quiet yesterday, a lot of people were attracted at the back. If you think about it, more people will come today." .”

Li Diaozhu agreed, "From now on, we can organize these activities from time to time according to the festivals, such as buy one and get a small bag free. Another example is to make a small guest card. If there are long-term consumption here, at the end of the year Depending on how much you spend, you can determine the grand prize..."

She talked eloquently about a lot of strange sales promotion methods, which completely stunned the two women sitting beside her.

In the end, when she was drinking water and drinking tea dry-mouthed, she realized that the other two were staring at her.

Especially Hui Niang, with a strange light shining in her eyes, staring at her, wishing she could be dismantled into her belly.

Li Kongzhu was stunned for a moment, "What are you two doing?"

Hui Niang regained her composure and coughed lightly, then grabbed her hand, patted her with a smile and said, "How can you have so many thoughts in your brain, thanks to being a merchant, otherwise it would be a pity."

She sighed in her heart, because her shop is too small, and the profit she gets is not much. If it is that kind of big merchant, with the methods she said, she might be able to dominate the entire merchant world.

"It's just as good as you said." Li Kongzhu also felt that he had talked too much, and he pulled out his hand and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm only good at talking on paper. Everything is just a gimmick. A person who eats crabs is fresh and can attract everyone's curiosity. In the future, if there are people who follow suit, it will not be so easy to use."

"That's true!" Hui Niang nodded, but a bold idea began to form in her heart.

Perhaps, in the future, I should be headed by her?

The outside table was set up, and it was already the end of the ringing.

The Grass Stage team came and walked the stage once, and Li Kongzhu went out to have a look after him, and asked the storyteller to go on stage and rehearse it again.

Discuss with the head of the stage troupe, and the storyteller will announce the curtain.

Jieshi can take advantage of the curtain call to publicize the lottery draw again, and let them rest for a quarter of an hour after the performance, and use it for the lottery draw.

"Let's start singing at the end of the hour!" After the arrangement was made, the group went back to the house to discuss when to start singing. Li Kongzhu thought for a while, and then said: "The key is to warm up and sing a couple of times to attract people." Jian. At the time when the singing reached Shen Shi, when the lanterns in the whole town were lit up, the storyteller went up to explain it. After attracting people into the store to buy goods, some martial arts students from the stage troupe came to the stage and somersaulted .After half a quarter of an hour, the lottery will start. Yesterday, a commoner who bought something in the store asked him to draw a lottery with a small ticket."

Li Kongzhu made arrangements one by one, and then talked about the temporary workers who ran errands.

"Tell them to pay attention to the arrangement, so as not to cause chaos in the store. Our store is too small, and if there are too many people at that time, let's come in batch by batch to visit and trade."

The crowd nodded.

She was also at the end, when Zhao Junyi from the other side suddenly came in, and at that time, she was holding many lanterns in her hand.

Everyone looked back, but Li Kongzhu's eyes lit up, "By the way, there must be lanterns hanging on the stage, and the eaves of the store must also be there. When the lights are on, it will be even more lively."

It's a pity that there is no stereo. If you want to have that kind of thing, you can play it repeatedly, and the sound can float for several miles. Maybe it can attract many people.

After the other two families listened, Li Chong and Zhao Mengzi got up straight away and went to take the lantern brought by Zhao Junyi, "Leave this to us. Just stay there when your wife introduces you, or go to a teahouse to see Let's go to the lantern."

Li Kongzhu, Huiniang, Mai Yaer and the three shook their heads, they still wanted to stay in the shop and watch the bustle of the shop.

Zhao Junyi was invited by Li Chong to hand over the lantern.Although he was a little dissatisfied, he didn't say much. He only cast a pair of eyes, and glanced at him very darkly, while a certain woman smiled happily.

Li Kongzhu didn't know, so when he saw him, he grinned sweetly back at him, as if he was praising him, why did he think of buying lanterns to decorate this matter.

The man laughed, and said lightly: "I will go out for a while and stay until the show is over. I will come back!"

"Homeland!" The woman wondered, "Where are you going?"

"Come on!" As he said, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

Li Kongzhu sighed, knowing that he didn't like the excitement, so he followed him.

When it was almost the end of the night, at the curtain behind the small stage, the theater troupe who were changing their costumes began to get busy.

The soundtrack staff, who were beating the gongs and drums, were already seated behind the stage, and began to pull up the erhu and beat the gongs.

Li Kongzhu called the storyteller to go up and shout.He worked as an errand again, took out some hawthorns that had been put in Xiaolan, and placed them at the entrance on the left in front of the door.

As soon as the storyteller came on stage, he began to yell something, "Folks who are passing by, the opening of our shop is a big treat..."

The impassioned speech naturally attracted many people to stop and watch.

Li Kongzhu and the others looked out of the store, and saw that many people had already started to move around on the street.

He gave Li Chong and the others a wink and told them to light up the lanterns.

After receiving the order, Li Chong and others began to light up the hanging lanterns one by one.

As soon as the storyteller saw that the light was on, he quickly seized the last moment and bragged wildly: "Shenshi is a big bargain, there are folks who bought things in the store yesterday, you can come here to draw a lottery with a small ticket at this time. The lottery is eligible for every [-] coins, and there are many prizes, and you will never leave empty-handed. Whoever has that great luck and can take away the one tael of silver will be the lucky king tonight and even the whole year."

Li Kongzhu yelled at Mai Ya'er, Mai Ya'er received it, quickly took up the box containing a tael of silver, ran to the stage and handed it to the storyteller.

The storyteller reached out to take it and opened it, and when he saw that there was a tael of silver inside, he couldn't help but shuddered.

Then he held it high for the onlookers to watch, "A huge prize of one tael of silver, let's see who gets it tonight. The boss will do what he says, and will never accept the work in advance until the two taels of silver are drawn. Never hide your secrets to fool others, and those who don’t believe in it can wait until the grand prize comes out.”

There was an uproar in the audience, and the storyteller clapped his hands again, "Waiting for the time, for fear that the villagers will be bored, the master specially paid for the theater troupe to watch, no matter martial arts, literary or opera, so that the folks who are waiting for the lottery You will never be bored again!"

After finishing speaking, he sang loudly, "Actors are invited to come on stage!"

After a thump, thump, thud, all the actors who had painted their makeup came to the stage and began to perform.

At this moment, the crowd was all attracted by the huge sum of one tael of silver, so they didn't even bother to watch the performance. Before it was crowded, many people began to pour into the store and ask about things.

The laborers hired to run errands began to warmly receive and explain. Li Chong, Zhao Mengzi and others also joined in.

The storyteller handed over a tael of silver to Hui Niang.

Li Diaozhu ordered him to announce the lottery draw, only half a quarter of an hour each time, try not to draw too much, come round after round, and last until Haishi.

Hui Niang on the side asked what to do if some people didn't get drawn.

"I won't miss the draw." Li Kongzhu smiled, "After Youshi, the pastries in the store will no longer be sold. Just concentrate on drawing the lottery, and ensure that everyone who holds a small ticket can cash it out."

After hearing this, Hui Niang nodded, "Then do it like this!"

After the storyteller took the order, he went outside and waited outside the stage.

At this time, the people in the room began to crowd up.

Some people who bought hawthorn or other pastries all ran to the counter and asked about billing and so on.

Li Diaozhu wrote the date on the prepared receipt, pressed his fingerprints, and said to the crowded crowd: "Don't worry about making mistakes! After buying, if you want to go shopping and look at the lights, you can go to the meeting first." Light. The lottery will continue until the beginning of Haishi."

After everyone listened, there was a dissatisfied voice who said loudly: "It's nice to say, if someone draws a dazzling prize, can you make it?"

Li Kongzhu replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, this prize should be yours and it's yours. Even if you wait to draw at the last moment, it will still be yours. Otherwise, why do you call it the king of luck?"

After hearing this, everyone burst out laughing.

Gongs and drums proclaim the sky outside, and the store is crowded with people.

Li Diaozhu writes the receipt, and Hui Niang collects the money.Mai Ya'er yelled not to squeeze, and lined up.

Although everything is busy, it is proceeding in an orderly manner.

As soon as the application time came, Mr. Storyteller yelled loudly for the lottery to start.

After saying a lot of compliments, he ordered the martial arts students to perform again, and waited until the people below became impatient, and then began to arrange a lottery draw.

"Congratulations, Xinghua Village, Liu Dajiao, you got a pack of hawthorn sticks!" Following the loud singing of the people on the stage, the people below took the wrapped hawthorn sticks and sent them up.

"Earth Flower Village, Miss Tang Lihua, will be rewarded with three copper coins."

Mai Ya'er quickly took the copper coins and ran out, ready to cash them.

At the end of the round, some people got money, some got hawthorn sticks, and some got a big prize, which was the crystal cake.

Crystal cake, anyone who has been in the store and asked about it knows that it costs nearly half a tael of silver.

Now, the crowd below boiled, and more people came into the store to buy.

The theater troupe on the stage was still singing Yiyi, and the room was already extremely busy.

According to this round of conversion, there are not many goods left in the store before the beginning of the unitary hour.

Helpless, the store had to decide to close the business early.

But the award will continue to open, to ensure that everyone who holds a small ticket can draw an award.

Seeing the empty shop, Hui Niang regretted doing less.

Li Kongzhu smiled and said: "That's fine, if you make too much, you may not be able to draw the lottery during the introduction." If the store is not sold out, if it is forced to close and not sell, it will cause some unhappiness. It is understandable that it is out of stock and no longer sold. I can only resent the late arrival.

Leave the rest of the store to the men.

Li Kongzhu and the others went to the inner room to rest for a while.

Li Diaozhu, who had a sip of tea, was really free, and had the idea of ​​going to see the lanterns.

Malt also agreed to go.

Hui Niang wanted to go too.

So the three women went to say hello to the men.

They walked towards the street together.

Squeezing past the crowded shop entrance, Li Kongzhu thought that when he got out of their shop, the crowd would not be too crowded.

Unexpectedly, this is quite far from the shop, and it is still crowded with people.

The three of them came holding hands at the beginning, but at the end they lined up in a vertical line, calling each other every step they took, for fear of getting lost.

The streets were bustling, and some merchants also played the gimmick of guessing fans and sending lanterns, and the big restaurant also invited opera troupes to sing.

Walking along the way, looking at the endless stretch of lanterns, you can't see the end at a glance.

The dots of light are printed in various lanterns, and the colorful light that is printed makes people stop and linger.

Vendors are hawking, and children are clamoring.

Although it is similar to the crowded crowds when visiting tourist attractions in the previous life, it is different from the lively energy.

That kind of heart-warming feeling, the feeling that the whole chest resonates, is incomparable to the feasting and feasting in the previous life.

While she was in a daze, staring blankly.

A wall of flesh was blocked behind her, and he said to her calmly, "But it's over?"

Li Kongzhu came back to his senses, turned his head to look, but saw the tall and straight figure of the man standing behind her, with those extremely beautiful phoenix eyes, looking at her for a moment, the shadow of the lamp shone into his eyes, that Small clusters of flames danced in his eyes, and that heart-warming feeling opened up her whole mind.

"Master!" She yelled at him with a smile, stretched out her hand, and grabbed his big palm.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Coincident!" The man snorted lightly.

The woman smirked, coincidence?Thanks to him for saying it.

There are so many people crowding their heads, and he is the most annoying person, how can he squeeze in this annoying crowd?
With a calm and sweet smile, he took his hand and said without poking: "That's just right, I'm shopping with Sister Hui Niang and Mai Ya'er. Since you're here, come with me, I want to Look at your Lantern Festival here."

While speaking, he looked up at Mai Ya'er and the two, "Huh! Where's the person?"

Zhao Junyi wrapped her little hands in it, and was quite satisfied with the two people who had gone away. Hearing her question, he raised his eyebrows lightly, "Let's go!"

"gone?"

The man is light.

Li Kongzhu smiled happily, scratched his big palm lightly with his little hand, and the man froze decisively.

The woman succeeded, laughing like a cat who stole Xing'er.

The crowded passers-by turned their heads and stared displeasedly, only then barely stopped the smile.

They took each other to a small stall and saw a very beautiful fairy lamp.

Pointing and pouting, like a little woman falling in love, pestering the man and saying: "Master, I want this lamp."

Seeing that the business came, the peddler kept agitating how good and how suitable the lamp was, until finally, all kinds of talents and beauties came out.

Li Kongzhu was amused by his eloquent mouth, turned to look at the man and said: "Buy it. If you don't buy it, I feel really guilty."

The man glanced at the hawker indifferently.The peddler shrank his neck inexplicably, making money after all, he chuckled, "Brother, it is said that a mother-in-law has to be in pain to treat you wholeheartedly. You see, this lamp is not expensive, but it looks good. Don't be reluctant." That few money, otherwise, the mother-in-law will hate you for a year in her heart."

Hearing the word "Po Niang", Li Kongzhu was very dissatisfied, and muttered, "This title is not good."

The man on the other side bought the lamp with money.

When handing it to her, she turned it over in amazement, "I really bought it!" In fact, she just said that this lamp is worth twenty yuan.

The man said nothing, let her carry it, and continued to walk forward.

Amidst the noise of the crowd, Li Kongzhu asked the man in a normal voice, "Master, is this a date?"

Zhao Junyi looked down at her, and hummed lightly.

Seeing her grinning happily, he unconsciously squeezed her hand tightly.

After walking through the streets, I bought a lot of food.

At the end of the You hour, the number of people on the street had already decreased by half.

Most of the villagers living outside the city have left in bullock carts.

Li Diaozhu, who ate and drank all the way, remembered that the lottery draw might be coming to an end, so he wanted to go back and see if the prize was drawn.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Junyi grabbed her walking hand.

Seeing her turn her eyes, she only said, "I'm tired, go back to the inn."

"?" Won't you go back tonight?

How can he be willing to go back to the house that has not been burned?In addition, it was cold and windy at night, the last time I went to my mother's house against the wind and snow, the sudden illness when I came back had already made him dissatisfied for a long time, how could I let her take the risk again?

Although Li Kongzhu didn't get the reason why he didn't return, he just shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Well, actually living in the town is also a kind of fun."

After finishing speaking, she rushed into his arms in a vicious manner, but in an instant, she, who was afraid of receiving strange eyes, left again.

In the blink of an eye, before the man could feel the warmth and fragrance of nephrite jade filling his bosom, it was gone again.

Zhao Junyi frowned for a moment.

Li Kongzhu smiled and asked him where the inn was.

Without answering, he took her hand and walked forward, Li Kongzhu followed him with a smile.

When they arrived at their destination, the woman smiled brightly. It turned out that it was the inn where Mai Ya'er took her to sell furs, and it was also the inn where she and him lived for the first time.

It was the same room, the difference was that there was only one quilt in the room.

Li Diaozhu asked for hot water to wash, watching the man making the bed in the shadow of the lamp.

I couldn't help laughing, "Master, you are thinking of tearing me apart tonight, aren't you?" Seeing him looking back at her, she folded her arms very politely, "Although I like you, But I'm not a casual woman either."

"Heh!" The man snorted, seeing her pretended defensiveness, he unreasonably took off his clothes.

People who like to be abused are very hypocritical and pretend to close their eyes and said twice, "No, the Lun family don't want it!"

That kind of soft and coquettish feeling aroused the anger of the man who was taking off his coat.

He glanced at her with vigilance, the woman accepted it, and put down her hand very bored.A sentence came, "It's just a joke. It's boring!"

The man got on the kang, and after lying down, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Li Kongzhu quickly dried the feet he was washing, and ran over with his shoes.

While getting on the kang, he said dissatisfiedly: "What, it turned out that I was tired and wanted to go to bed early. It's not fair to coax me here."

As he said that, he went to lift the quilt, and followed him in.

The man didn't pay attention, and when he waited for her hands and feet to wrap around her, he inadvertently pursed his lips.

Li Kongzhu took off his outer clothes while clinging to him, at the end, leaning in his arms, listening to his long breathing, unknowingly, he felt exhausted quickly.

He yawned very indecently, then found a comfortable position in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Feeling her long breath, Zhao Junyi opened his eyes and looked at the person in his arms.

Seeing her hair hanging down her face, her red lips half parted, she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.Looking up at the fairy palace lantern on the table, I took a thin flower needle in my hand and flew it lightly. The needle passed the paper wall, and the strong wind brought it made the inside burn right. Wang's candle went out.

"Crack." There was a light sound, the sound of a needle piercing the wall.

The woman in his arms moved, and the man lowered his eyes, and held her in front of his chest with one hand. After feeling that she was not affected, he followed her breathing and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, it was rare to see Zhao Junyi washing himself in the room.

Sensing her waking up, the man only turned around and looked at her, then turned back and continued to wipe his face.

Li Kongzhu stretched his waist, rolled a few times reluctantly, hugged the quilt, and smelled his unique breath on the quilt.

Close your eyes, ready to relive the beautiful scene in your dream.

"Can't get up?"

"Hmm!" The woman shook her head, looked up and saw that he was neatly arranging the folds of the jacket, she couldn't help being fascinated, and blurted out to ask him, "Master, when will you consummate the marriage with me?"

The long finger that was flicking the jacket paused.

Zhao Junyi raised his eyes, and there was a playful flash in his eyes, "Didn't you say that you are not a casual girl?"

The moment the woman blurted out, she felt a little regretful, afraid that he would think that she was not reserved and planned to round it up.

He didn't want to listen to his joking words, but also felt that he was used to being shameless in front of him.She shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "I'm such a woman, but I'm also a gentle and considerate wife. I'm afraid you will be spoiled, so I just care about it."

Saying that, he winked at him again, "Don't take it seriously, I can be relied on!"

The man had a dark face, shut up wisely and never answered her again.

Li Kongzhu who got no answer shrugged again and got up.Stretching his waist, he got off the kang, went to his side, hugged one, rubbed it in his arms, and after wrinkling his jacket, he let go of his hands in satisfaction.

He went to open the door and called Xiao Er to bring some hot water back up.

Zhao Junyi glanced at the place wrinkled by her, and couldn't help shaking his head with a bit of a smile.

The woman looked back, and happened to meet his smiling face. She was startled, and called with wide-eyed eyes, "Master, you can actually laugh!"

The man stopped laughing, looked at her with a dark face and felt helpless, raised his eyebrows, "My eyes are full of shit."

What do you mean?
Li Kongzhu was stunned for a while, until Xiaoer brought the hot water and the man had gone out, then he realized the smell.

Angrily, he slapped the towel on the water, "You're the one with shitty eyes!" How dare you say that she was wrong?snort!
After washing out, Zhao Junyi was already sitting in the lobby.

On the table was a fairly delicate breakfast, and when I walked over, I saw the man was calmly holding steamed buns, eating very elegantly with side dishes.

Li Kongzhu was angry with him, walked across and sat down, saw that the porridge was polished rice porridge with big white steamed buns, and the dishes were also pickled vegetables and shredded potatoes.

I couldn't help but deliberately sat down and knocked on the table with my chopsticks, "I like to eat the pancakes and steamed buns at the stall, who would like to eat this bland rice porridge and white steamed buns, the taste of the two is very different Not to mention, even the prices vary by several times. Do you know that the more delicious the food, the cheaper it is, and the more expensive the food, the more people don't like it?"

Take food as a metaphor for his being poor and fastidious.The man was calm and ruthless, "In comparison, porridge can nourish the stomach, what can pancakes nourish?"

The woman choked for a while, and finally said contemptuously, "As long as you are hungry, you will be fine, no matter what!"

The man swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, and after eating the last bit of steamed bun in his hand, he nodded calmly and said, "It's all food for a full belly, so you really don't need to worry about it. Eat it!"

Li Kongzhu's black line, is this going back to talk about her?Whether it's delicious or not, it's something that fills your stomach!
Gritting his teeth, he knocked on the chopsticks again, and saw that the man had calmly called Xiao Er to serve tea, so he couldn't help holding a steamed bun in his hand, thinking it was Zhao Junyi in his heart, and biting down hard.

After eating and leaving the inn, the two walked towards Huifu.

Since the door closed late last night, Hui Niang and the others were just getting up when they arrived.

Seeing the two of them, he smiled meaningfully and invited Li Kongzhu into the room to warm up.

Zhao Junyi and Li Chong went out to help buy breakfast.

Mai Ya'er went back to the village last night, so there are only Hui Niang and Li Kongzhu in the hut.

Hui Niang took out yesterday's account book to her, and smiled mysteriously with her, "Guess how much you earned yesterday?"

Li Kongzhu smiled, "I'm afraid it's quite a lot, the goods are all sold out early, can there be less?"

Hui Niang sighed, "When I came back from shopping yesterday, I was sewing the last lottery draw. A big prize was drawn by an old farmer who had just tried his luck. I was so excited on the spot. The atmosphere was the most lively at that time, did you not see it?" It turned out that after the prize drawing, everyone was still reluctant to leave the venue for a long time, and kept asking when the next one would be. I just said it was a flower festival, and there will be another event.”

Li Kongzhu nodded, it was the first time he had a sweet treat, so someone would naturally ask.

"We'll make a decision based on the situation at the time of the introduction. After this comes out, I'm afraid someone will follow suit."

Hui Niang also nodded, "Fortunately, we still have a few hawthorns to preserve value, so we are not afraid of being robbed of the business."

"It makes sense."

Hui Niang took the abacus and made it clear in front of her.

Hawthorn sold a total of 70 taels of silver, except for the cost of 30 taels, Hui Niang gave her all the remaining 40 taels.

Li Kongzhu was startled, and was about to push it away, but Hui Niang shook her head and pressed her hand and said, "With your idea, the business is so prosperous, this is what you deserve."

"It's as much as it should be. You and I are partners. Anyway, I am also a part of this store. It should be natural to contribute. How can there be more reason?" Li Kongzhu said disapprovingly. , while pushing back.

No, but Hui Niang said with a serious face: "There is something I want to explain to you."

Li Kongzhu's eyes flickered, and he smiled and retracted his pushing hand, "Say it."

Hui Niang looked at her for a while, thinking that when signing the contract, she only wanted to provide the source of goods.I didn't think much about it at the time, but now it seems that with her ability, she might recover even more in the future.

I may be able to share the sale with her equally now, but in the future I am afraid that I will be far behind even if I flatter him.

"I want to divide the items in this store according to the seven and three of you. Is it possible?"

Li Kongzhu paused, raised his eyes and looked at her seriously for a while, "Sister Hui Niang, forgive me for being too shocked, I don't know why you suddenly said this?"

"Don't call me stupid." Hui Niang sighed with a smile: "After spending so long in the inner house, I still have a good eye for seeing people. Now I might give you a lift and sit with you on an equal footing. Come on. I'm afraid it's..."

He started shaking his head and laughing.

Li Kongzhu paused for a moment, then quietly took out 20 taels of silver with a smile, and pushed the rest as usual. "How long the future will be, you and I can't predict it. Although you and I signed the contract at the beginning as a supply item, why did you forget about the joint purchase of land? Now, how can we divide each other?" What's more, she didn't hide the formula behind her back!

Seeing that she wanted to refute, she smiled again: "Let's talk about the future, sister Hui Niang, you are still the big boss."

Hui Niang was stunned.

She smiled and took away her silk handkerchief again, and wrapped up the money, "Don't think too much, since we did business together, I won't rebel like that at will."

"Puchi!" Hui Niang couldn't help laughing, "Who said you were going to rebel, I just thought that you would be prosperous in the future, and I wanted to please you early so that you can see today's friendship in the future. Give me an errand job."

"If that's the case, then it's a blessing I have cultivated for several generations. Wouldn't it be a great honor to invite a big boss like Sister Hui Niang to run errands?"

She smiled and shrugged her shoulders, but she scolded her with white eyes, "Not now, after passing this village, there will be no such shop."

"It's okay. When the time comes, I'll go to the whole store and invite Miss Hui again."

"Okay! It seems that you still have to leave me and open a shop by yourself."

She responded seriously to her half-truth and half-false accusation, "If there is such a day, I will bring Sister Hui Niang with me, so I can rest assured!"

After hearing this, Hui Niang looked at her for a long time.He replied with a smile, "Since that's the case, then I'll use Ya'er's words to say it again."

"From now on, I will follow you to eat and drink! Is it possible?"

Li Kongzhu pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "You can do it yourself."
