Chapter 215 The Stone of Other Mountains

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly, the children of the family spent money that ordinary people could really imagine. Thinking of the bamboo rhyme residence of the Lin family next to Zechang Academy, those three thatched houses may not be able to afford it without 100,000 taels of silver. The thatched house still costs 100,000 taels, and if I want to build a mountain fort like the Li family, I really don't know how much silver it will cost.

At the beginning, I was happy to earn a few more copper coins for food and clothing, and then I had a folding fan, so my mother wanted to buy more fields, and then it was crisp and white, and the silver was thousands of taels, and I felt how to spend so much silver at that time. When the burning knife appeared, he thought that he could seek a century-old foundation, but now it seems that the Jiang family is just a nouveau riche, with less bottom and accumulation.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver a year are astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the family, the cost of a meal is no less than more than 100 taels of silver.

Where does the money come from, saving the source and opening the stream, the cost of their own family is not large, and no matter how much the source is saved, you can't save a few taels of silver, so you don't have to think much about this. Kailiu, there is a bag of gems buried in the ground of the old mansion's residence, and that thing will not see the light of day unless it is absolutely necessary, Jiang Anyi immediately vetoed it.

His own three-door business, bamboo fan, crispy white bi, burning knives and wine. The business of bamboo fans and crispy white bi has been stabilized, and it can bring seven or eight thousand taels of income a year, and the wine industry of burning knives has a bright future, but it is limited by the amount of wine produced, and the annual output is limited. Guo Fatzi wrote to say that this year's output can be increased by 30%, which is a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the big problem.

Thinking of the plans I thought of when I was in Shasu Country, standing on many feet and huddling together to keep warm, these plans are inseparable from silver. A penny is difficult for a hero, not to mention a large sum of silver, what should I think of? The national salt and iron monopoly has imposed heavy taxes on wine and tea, and its own family has interfered in wine, so forget about tea.

The trade route is also very important, this experience in the Western Regions, get in touch with the Tule family in Shasu country, you might as well take this trade route. It's just that the journey to the Western Regions is far away, and the variables are too great, so you can only plan it slowly in the future. Speaking of trade routes, Jiang Anyi remembered the sea route in the demon master's mind, if he could trade with overseas gangs, it would be a profitable business, but he didn't have a sea ship or a shortage of seafarers, so he could only dream about it.

After wandering around the courtyard for a while, he wandered back and forth in the courtyard a few times, successfully attracted Dong'er's attention, and asked with a smile: "Jiang Lang, what's wrong with you today, walking back and forth non-stop?" It's about to be the New Year, why don't you accompany me to buy some New Year's goods? ”

Instead of sitting at home behind closed doors, it is better to go to the market and see for yourself what kind of business is the most profitable. Seeing Jiang Anyi nodding, Dong'er happily threw down the embroidery in his hand, and loudly beckoned the stone to call someone to set the car, and after the marriage, the Jiang family added a few servants, and the coachman Huang Zaixing set the car with his hands and feet. Afraid that Jiang Anyi would wait for a long time, Dong'er hurriedly dressed up and went out in the company of the girl Xi'er.

Jiang Anyi rode charcoal, the stone practiced martial arts, quite admired the chivalrous style, he was still small, the horse could not be ridden, Jiang Anyi bought him a donkey, and he always liked to ride it when he went out.

There are two cities in the east and west of Yongchang City, the east market operates four treasures, sells luxury goods, and the people who come to buy things are mostly royal nobles, high-ranking officials and wealthy families, and the west room is engaged in daily use of clothing, food, housing and transportation. The area of the West Market occupies two square markets, and there are more than 40,000 fixed shops, not to mention the small stalls and vendors on both sides of the street.

Walk into it, the color building stands tall, the carved beams and painted buildings, the embroidery on both sides beckons each other, the embroidered bead curtain, there are silk satin, jewelry and spices, fruit refreshments, tea shop wine shop, foot shop butcher shop, all kinds of things; On the street, BMW fragrant cars, Luo Qi is fragrant, pedestrians rub shoulders one after another, and the river is endless. It is really a new sound that laughs at Liu Mo Huaqu, tunes the strings according to the orchestra in the tea shop and wine shop, the eight wildernesses compete for each other, and all countries are salty.

Entering the market, Dong'er entered the water like a fish, and took Xi'er through the east house and the west house, and it was a pleasure to watch. Jiang Anyi had something on his mind, and went into the store to look at the business and estimate the profit, but he was a layman and just looked at the excitement. After walking around for more than an hour, there were already a lot of things piled up in the carriage, seeing that Dong'er was still full of interest, Jiang Anyi couldn't bear it, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law's hotel is not far in front, the time is not early, it is better to go there and go home after dinner." ”

Jiang Anyi was willing to accompany him back to his parents' house, Dong'er couldn't ask for it, he didn't care about buying things, he beckoned Xi'er to get into the car, and as soon as the horsewhip sounded, he arrived at the Xinqi Wine Shop, with a black-lettered signboard, and the four words were still Jiang Anyi's handwriting. It can be seen that the business of exchanging wine is good, and there are several trucks parked in front of the door, and they are moving wine to the cars.

Li Laihe, wearing a felt hat and a sheepskin jacket, was directing his men in front of the store, and kept shouting: "Be careful, pay attention to the steps, don't knock on the handrail." When I looked up, I saw my son-in-law on a tall horse in front of the street, and left his business to meet him.

Jiang Anyi hurriedly jumped off the horse, bowed and saluted, "I've seen my father-in-law." ”

Li Laihe was a little afraid of this uncle, and he couldn't put on the prestige of his father-in-law, so he rubbed his palms and smiled: "Anyi, why are you here, come into the store and sit down." ”

Dong'er threw the curtain, and Jiang Anyi hurriedly reached out to help her jump out of the carriage. Smiling sweetly at Jiang Anyi, Dong'er smiled at her father: "Dad, let's come to Xishi to buy something, Anyi said that he would go back after eating at home." ”

"Then dare to be kind, you and your aunt will go home first, your mother is at home, I'll go buy some fish and meat, and I'll go back." Li Laihe clapped his hands happily, turned around and left, took two steps, felt a little rude, and turned around to nod and smile at Jiang Anyi.

Li Lai and the newly rented house are not far from the store, turn right at a distance of ten zhang, enter the alley, and the aconitum door is inconspicuous. Hearing the knock on the door, Dong'er Niang walked out, saw her daughter and aunt coming to the door, smiled and couldn't close her mouth, and hurriedly invited her to the upper room, making tea and serving fruits, all the time.

While talking, Li Laihe came back, his hands were full of vegetables, and the guy at the butcher shop was still carrying half of the sheep. Dong'er's mother Li Wu smiled and beckoned Jiang Anyi to sit, and she and Dong'er went to the kitchen to cook, Li Laihe entered the door a little hard-headed and chatted with Jiang Anyi.

To be honest, Li Laihe is not familiar with Jiang Anyi, and his daughter's marriage to Jiang Anyi is also a bit semi-forced. On weekdays, I have heard people talk about Jiang Anyi, and they all say that it is the Wenqu star in the sky who descends to earth, Li Laihe is both happy and a little frightened, he is a mortal, and he is with the immortals, and he always feels a head shorter.

Jiang Anyi decided to come to Li's house for dinner because Li Laihe had been a steward in Anqi's Li family and had run a business for the Li family.

The nervousness of the old man, Jiang Anyi, somewhat saw that at this time, everything was inappropriate, and the relationship was close. Jiang Anyi seemed to unintentionally talk to his father-in-law about his past, about his father's early death, and his mother's difficulty in pulling the three brothers and sisters. Li Laihe's nervousness was obviously relaxed, his uncle turned out to be poor, poorer than his own family, he had farmed, hunted, and chopped firewood, this is the son and daughter of the neighbor.

For a long time, Dong'er's marriage to Li Laihe felt like an unreal dream, he was afraid that waking up would become a void, plus he didn't understand Jiang Anyi, and he had seen too much of the chaos and abandonment, Li Laihe faintly took care of his daughter, for fear that one day his daughter would end up miserable.

So people need to communicate, Li Lai talked to Jiang Anyi, the original worry was gone, it can be seen that my uncle is a good person, and such a fairy is also a good fairy. Li Laihe was secretly happy for his daughter, and there were naturally more words to relax his emotions, Weng Son-in-law was talking and laughing in the room, and the mother and daughter in the kitchen were also muttering and talking about private words, and Dong'er burst into coquettish laughter from time to time.

The laughter was contagious, and Li Laihe said with emotion: "Dong'er, this girl has a stubborn temper, and she has suffered a lot with my useless father, thanks to Anyi, you take care of her, you can see that she is very happy." You have had a child sooner, and her mother and I have been looking forward to holding our grandson for a long time. ”

"Dad, what do you say?" Dong'er leaned out of the door and said coquettishly with a blush on her face. She came to find Jiang Anyi to show her hands, and Jiang Anyi's cooking skills conquered everyone, including Dong'er. As a woman, when you get a treasure, of course you have to show it to everyone, and when you go back to your parents' house, of course, you have to show it to your parents.

Li Laihe scolded with a smile: "You girl, how can you let your uncle go to the kitchen, don't you like the braised elbow made by your father the most, Dad will go and get it, you accompany An Yi to sit down." ”

Dong'er came over and lay on her father's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Dad, it's not me who picks your mouth, the elbow you make is really not as delicious as Anyi's." As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Anyi on the opposite side.

"Okay, I'll go cook, I often cook at home, and my father-in-law will try my craft today." Jiang Anyi stood up, and Dong'er hurriedly left Li Laihe and followed behind Jiang Anyi. Li Laihe looked at the background of his daughter and son-in-law and smiled contentedly.

Mutton radish, braised hooves, stir-fried kidney flower, celery and yellow braised fish, fragrant ru chicken, and a crispy white green onion, six dishes, full of color, flavor and flavor. Dong'er diligently picked up vegetables for her parents, and then watched with a blank eye, Li Lai and his wife nodded and praised again and again, and Dong'er looked at Jiang Anyi and smiled with satisfaction, and ate sweetly.

After a few glasses of wine, Jiang Anyi asked thoughtfully: "Father-in-law, I see that you are very shrewd in business, I don't know what business is the best to do and the most profitable in this market?" ”

Li Laihe was no longer restrained, and said with a little drunkenness: "Uncle, I don't know if you ask anything else, if you want to talk about business, I can still say a few ways." ”

Li Wu glared at Li Laihe, sandwiched a chicken leg for his son-in-law, and said, "Uncle, don't listen to his nagging, I drank some wine, and I don't know what my surname is." Eat vegetables, eat vegetables. ”

Li Laihe took a cup and drank it all, spit out the wine, and talked about his business experience.
