Chapter 239 Good Luck

After Wen Zhenyi decided on the menu, she began to organize the ingredients that needed to be purchased. This time there were not too many expensive ingredients, and she was going for a sense of artistic conception.

Since we are discussing wedding matters, let’s hope for good luck.

Chen Hanxing has now started to teach Ji Hongguang how to keep accounts. The accounts of the breakfast shop are not difficult, but it uses a new accounting method, and he still needs a period of adaptation.

He came over with the blueprint and watched her write the menu: "Is this the menu for the banquet?"

"Yes, it was arranged by the Song Yi family. I heard from Master Cheng that it was the elders of his and Huanhuan's future father-in-law and in-laws' families."

"I'm here to discuss the wedding."

"Yes, can you help me check these menus? Is there anything wrong?"

Shen Hanxing put the drawings on the table, took the menu and looked at it: "No problem, it's quite suitable. I think the elders will like these dishes."

"That's good." Wen Zhenyi looked at the blueprints he had placed on the table. "Is this the design for the mansion?"

Shen Hanxing smiled and nodded: “Take a look.”

Wen Zhenyi opened the blueprint and looked at it. The houses and buildings drawn on it were very detailed. The location of the shops, the layout of the courtyard, and even the flowers and plants were all clearly drawn.

He even drew each courtyard separately on paper, taking into account the patterns on the window frames, the moon-shaped door openings, and even some small details.

A workshop is a type of house or courtyard built with relatively spacious spaces, without any partitions inside, which makes it more convenient to use.

There is no accommodation in the shops, and Wen Zhenyi has no plans to rent them to other people.

She plans to use these shops to sell workshops or some of the things she makes in the future.

Shen Hanxing looked at her seriously and asked, "Is there anything that needs to be revised?"

Wen Zhenyi took a look and said, "I don't like too many flowers, plants and trees. They are troublesome to take care of."

Chen Hanxing tilted his head to look at the blueprint and pointed at a few places: "Don't have a garden. Let's pave this place with bluestone slabs, plant a big tree, and put stone tables and chairs underneath. What do you think?"

Wen Zhenyi looked at the place he mentioned. It would be much fresher here, and he could also enjoy the coolness under the big tree. "I think it's okay."

"Do you want this lotus pond in your yard?"

Wen Zhen looked at the yard he was pointing to. There was a small building in the yard and a lotus pond on the right side of the yard. He had also painted fish in it.

Sitting in the small building, you can see the scenery in the yard. In addition to a lotus pond, there is also a small pavilion with some tables and chairs, right next to the lotus pond.

"Stay. It's a good choice to cool down here when the weather is hot."

Shen Hanxing smiled and nodded, and then discussed other courtyard designs with her, all of which were simple designs.

Such a yard is more airy to live in, but you can plant some of your favorite trees in the yard according to your personal preferences.

Wen Zhenyi chose grape vines for the yard of the old man Wen and his wife. There are grape racks on both sides of the road leading to the yard. When the grapes are ripe, it will also be a beautiful landscape.

You can also cool off under the grape trellis at ordinary times, which is also a good choice.

As for the courtyards of the brothers Ma Yinghe and Wen Yongman, she has not made a choice yet and plans to ask them first.

Shen Hanxing wrote down the parts that needed to be changed: "Be careful when you go to the county town tomorrow. It's not convenient for me to accompany you."

"I'll bring Xiang with me."

"Some people in the county town are hard to get along with anymore. Try to avoid them if you can, but if you can't, that's fine too."

Wen Zhenyi looked at her calmly: "Brother Shen can help me solve it."

"If you stab the sky, I really can't help you fix it."

Wen Zhenyi chuckled: "I won't let you stab the sky."

Shen Hanxing smiled helplessly and shook his head: “Cheng Lesheng and the others are here. If there is something that cannot be solved, go to them for help.”

"I know, you should eat well too."

"Well, Zhu Tao's cooking skills are pretty good now. I can eat some."

Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded.

The next day.

She told Zhu Tao and a few people from the Ji family, packed a few sets of clothes, and went to the county town with Axiang.

The driver was already waiting in the backyard. When he saw Wen Zhenyi, he put down the horse stool and said, "Miss Wen, the master asked me to take you to the county town."

"Thank you for your help."

"Miss Wen, you're too polite."

Wen Zhenyi and Axiang also brought some egg yolk pastries made yesterday, planning to give them to their family and two good friends to try.

She actually made quite a lot yesterday, but thinking about giving them away as gifts, she didn't sell many. Some customers felt a little disappointed that they didn't buy any.

After the curtain of the carriage was lowered, the light inside the carriage dimmed.

Axiang rolled up the curtains of the carriage, letting some light into the carriage.

Little Cream came out of her backpack and jumped into her lap.

Wen Zhenyi looked at the little guy sleeping on his lap with his belly turned over, and reached out to poke its soft belly: "Why did you follow me?"

Naiyou opened her eyes and looked at her, then simply curled up into a ball and ignored Wen Zhenyi.

"Ah Xiang, have Xiao Abu and the others returned?"

"Logically, they should have set out on their journey back, but I don't know if they've arrived yet."

Wen Zhenyi looked at the scenery outside the carriage. People were coming and going on the street, and many small vendors were selling their goods along the street.

"I hope they are all safe."

"I think so."

Their carriage came out of the town and headed towards the county town. At first, they could still see some people coming and going.

When you walk a distance away, you can no longer see the people, but occasionally you can see fertile fields and some trees.

At first, I felt fresh in the novel, but after seeing it for a long time, I felt a little sleepy.

Ah Xiang saw her yawning and said, "Master, lean back and take a nap."

Wen Zhen nodded slightly, leaned against the side of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

They came out early in the morning. In addition to meeting their physiological needs on the road, they found a cool place to eat some dry food at noon and continued on their journey.

Ah Xiang looked around and said, "We should be able to reach the county town in the afternoon."

"This carriage feels like it's falling apart."

The driver apologized: "Maybe I'm driving too fast."

"No, I'm just not used to it."

Ah Xiang looked at the road and said, "This is still a relatively good official road. If it were a road somewhere else, it would be much bumpier than this."

"If this carriage had a shock-absorbing device, it might be much more comfortable."

"What is a shock absorber?"

Wen Zhenyi was slightly stunned: "Let me go back and talk to Uncle Xiong, maybe he can do it."

"If you make it, will riding in a carriage be less uncomfortable?"

"It will be better than it is now, with much less bumpiness. If some cushions are added, it will increase comfort."
