Chapter 809: to integrate
In the face of beauty, it is better to enjoy it first, just when Xiao Lingchuan was about to do something to satisfy himself, he suddenly discovered that his wife had fallen asleep.
Summer nights in Kyoto do not feel much coolness. Zhuangzi is in the suburbs, surrounded by dense green plants, which makes the air a little cooler and humid.
Xiao Lingchuan had no choice but to pick up his wife and go back to the room. He didn't light the oil lamp and was silent in the darkness.
Li Haitang opened her eyes, and then quickly closed them again. She wanted to pretend to be asleep, to tease the savage husband, but after lying down for a while, she fell asleep in a daze.
In the early morning of the second day, someone from Zhuangshang, who was tricked by the guy who bought the fabrics from Li Haitang before, came to deliver urgent dresses.
"Help me thank you shopkeeper."
Li Haitang gave the buddy a bounty and thanked him politely. She stated yesterday that she is a foreigner, new to Kyoto, and urgently needs entertainment, so she hopes that the cloth shop can catch up with work and help make two sets of dresses, she will do the upper body first.
Logically, this request is somewhat unreasonable. It can be seen that the business of Cloth Village is good, and everything is on a first-come, first-served basis. If there is a queue, the finished product will take three or four days at the earliest.
However, the cloth shop made two sets of ready-made clothes in only one night, which must be the result of the embroiderers who didn't sleep all night.
"You are very kind."
After the clerk delivered the dress and said a few more words about your patronage, he was sent out by Uncle Chen.
Li Haitang kept nodding. The businessmen in the capital are more savvy than those in the north. She left her address yesterday, but today the other party sent someone here. According to the time calculation, they might leave before dawn.
On the one hand, sending clothes to show that she is very honest and attracting customers for the cloth shop; on the other hand, she is also visiting her to check her background and strength.
These businessmen are shrewd not to engage in loss-making business!
In the morning, Mrs. Wang got up a little late, and Chunmei made breakfast. Millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, pumpkin steamed buns and scallion oil rolls, sliced salted duck eggs, celery mixed with peanuts, appetizing hot and sour potato shreds and a vegetable with minced meat.
For a well-to-do family, it's nothing, but a group of people are tired of traveling and traveling, and the breakfast is mostly fooled, which is already very rich.
Li Haitang chose the sweet pumpkin porridge, and used half a salted duck egg and side dishes, thinking that since he had a suitable outfit, if he posted the post today, he would get a reply from Zhang Zheng almost before tomorrow.
"Xiangli, pack up and go out with me later."
Li Haitang glanced at Xiaodoubao, thinking about not taking him with him when he went out, otherwise he was so self-willed at such a young age, and he was used to it all the time, and he would not be able to cope in the future.
Although she thought so cruelly, she couldn't help but want to find time to go to the bookstore and choose a few story books for Doubao, so that the enlightenment education could not be left behind.
Xiangli was worried about this matter and didn't know how to speak up. Li Haitang asked, why is she unwilling? Immediately nodded, went back to the room to tidy up.
Li Short Legs has been here for a long time, and he is familiar with the capital. He heard that he was going to the Songhe Academy, so he volunteered to be the driver.
Before getting into the car, he also prepared a veiled hat for Li Haitang. The rules in Kyoto are strict, and ladies and ladies always use hoods to cover their faces when they go out, not only to cover their appearance, but also to cover them from the glare of the sun.
"good."
Li Haitang affirmed the care and consideration of her subordinates, and she and Xiangli got into the carriage one by one.
The temperature in the car was too high. In order to cool down, I had to put a cowhide water bag under the bamboo mat, and sat on it to sag, but it was really not as hot as before.
"Sister Haitang, where are we going?"
Xiangli clenched her fists, her hands were covered with sweat, she was embarrassed to ask a straightforward question.
"Go to Songhe Academy first. I have a liquor store on that street."
Idle is also idle, Li Haitang sent Baiguo to send a post to Jing Zhaoyi's house, and went out with Xiangli and Wufu.
"Ma'am, the business of the liquor store is quite good, why is it closing?"
The location of the shop is good. Li Kuangke heard that something happened to Baihuajiu, but it has a good reputation in the capital. There are several academies around, and scholars like elegance, high sorghum burn is not as popular as low-alcohol Baihua wine and fruit wine.
"Liquor stores are not closing, but integrating."
Since there are purchase channels for alcoholic beverages, they can continue to be sold. She told Li Shortlegs about her idea of opening a self-service food shop, and asked for his opinion.
Li Haitang is a newcomer to Kyoto. Although the ideas she mentioned have not been investigated on the spot, they are all living in imagination.
"Restaurants and catering shops must have business. I heard that the canteen of Songhe Academy is notoriously unpalatable."
Li Shortleg has been there before, and there is a restaurant nearby, and a plate of green vegetables costs two hundred yuan, which is considered a sky-high price.
Even at this price, there are still students flocking to it. There are many rich people who don't care how much it is.
Those whose family conditions are relatively poor, some people rent houses in nearby villages and invite villagers to cook, which is cost-effective and saves a lot.
But the women in the village are so-so in their craftsmanship, how can they compare with Chunmei?
When Chunmei was mentioned, Li Kuangke's face glowed. He felt that Chunmei treated him well and spoke softly.
So, he asked Second Aunt Chen to find out, but he still didn't believe it. Last night, he scratched his head and didn't fall asleep all night.
His parents were worried about his marriage and wanted to have a grandson as soon as possible, besides, he was a big boy, without a woman by his side, he was alone, and felt more and more uncomfortable about himself.
When I saw the baby in Aunt Chen's family, I thought, if I got married earlier, the baby would be soy sauced. "
Li short legs sighed, he has self-knowledge, most people look down on him as disabled, and he is a bandit, who is willing to follow him?
Without a good reputation, you have to bear the infamy, and you will not be able to return to your natal family in the future.
Li Haitang twitched the corners of his mouth, obviously the topic was on the feasibility of changing his career in a wine store, but Li short-legged turned it into him getting married and having children in his 20s and 30s.
Li Shortlegs was nagging, but Li Haitang couldn't bear to interrupt him. Perhaps bachelors have similar troubles.
Boys are not allowed to stay!
Chunmei's family is in the village behind Zhuangzi, and Chunmei is not a slave of her family's death contract. As the master, Li Haitang cannot make decisions about Chunmei's marriage.
"Madam, do you think there is hope for me?"
Li Short Legs has been selling goods in the capital these years, doing some small business, taking the opportunity to meet a lot of people. Although they are all from the top schools and top schools, and there are no high-ranking figures, they can still inquire about a lot of news.
Using these gossips really allowed him to save a sum of money, at least it would be no problem to marry a wife.
Some people also saw that he was disabled, so they persuaded him to spend money to buy a girl, raise her for a year or two, and become a daughter-in-law directly.
In Ren Yazi's hands, there are plenty of good-looking women, and they are well-groomed, and they are definitely no worse than the girls in the village. There are even some who are literate, and they can add fragrance to their red sleeves.
