Film Empress Tang Shiyue transmigrates into an idiotic peasant girl, facing a pile of troubles: an early-deceased father, a "true love is innocent" white lotus mother, and greedy, vicious r...
Madam Zhou stared at her speechlessly: "Little aunt, how dare you go! My legs are still weak now!"
"Why not?" Tang Shiyue said, "We dared just now. Now we have Boss Han's support!"
She waved at the gangster over there, and the gangster came over. Tang Shiyue said, "Did your boss Han tell you? We want to go shopping, can you help watch the mule cart for us?"
The gangster immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay, go ahead, young man!"
Fourth Uncle Tang was extremely worried, but he didn't have the confidence to be in a place like the town. When Tang Shiyue got up and left, he gritted his teeth and supported Madam Zhou to follow.
Fortunately, Qi Jing came back soon, and Fourth Uncle Tang hurriedly told him what happened. Qi Jing said, "I've heard of this Boss Han. He is a generous and righteous man, and he is also quite skilled. He is indeed the only one in the town now."
He asked: "What does Yue think of this person?"
Tang Shiyue said: "I can't really tell whether a person is good or bad."
Madam Zhou complained to her: "Why are you leaving the mule cart to others?"
"Aunt, Fourth Uncle," Tang Shiyue said with a smile, "You have to learn to delegate power. We will become richer and richer in the future, and our family business will grow bigger and bigger. If you do everything yourself... you will die of exhaustion and never finish everything, so you have to learn to delegate things to others."
...
...
"For example, right now, I don't know whether Boss Han is good or bad, and I don't know what his people can do, but we can think about it this way: what is the worst possible outcome?"
"He took the mule cart and left. A mule cart costs several dozen taels. We can afford the compensation, so we can do it. This is a touchstone... If the mule cart is still there after we go back, then we will have someone to rely on if we have similar problems in the future. If the mule cart is gone, then we will learn from our mistakes."
Fourth Uncle Tang opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He frowned and began to think. Madam Zhou said anxiously, "You kid! Even if you have thousands of taels, you can't afford to give up a few dozen taels of silver."
Tang Shiyue was not in a hurry either. She smiled and held her hand: "Aunt, it's not that I don't care about anything. Think about it, if you become a lady in a wealthy family in the future, with a group of servants under you, will you go shopping by yourself every day? You have to give the money to someone and let him do it. It's the same principle."
Madam Zhou said angrily, "How could I have such a fate? I am still the wife of a rich family!"
Tang Shiyue just smiled and said nothing.
Qi Jing glanced at her calmly.
It is said that Tang Yongli and Wang Shi are only literate, and they don't have any talent... Can such a peasant family really raise such a person? Is she really Tang Shiyue?
But if she is not Tang Shiyue, who is she?
The four of them strolled until noon, discussing where to go for dinner. Fourth Uncle Tang remembered and said, "Your aunt and I have been saying for the past two years that if we ever have money, we must go to the Yunlai Restaurant for dinner no matter what!"
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Isn't this easy? Then let's go to Yunlai Restaurant!"
Uncle Tang and his wife were in a rare mood, so they didn't mind the distance and went back to Yunlai Restaurant.
There were not many people in the restaurant. Shopkeeper Yang was standing behind the counter, calculating with an abacus, looking annoyed.
Fourth Uncle Tang walked in with his chest straightened. Before he could say anything, Shopkeeper Yang looked up and his face darkened: "Why are you here again? A few peasants are still relying on me, right? I have told you so many times that I don't want any nectar even if you brew it! It's so annoying! You are all like stinky mud..."
Uncle Tang interrupted him loudly: "I'm here to eat!"
Shopkeeper Yang was stunned, narrowed his eyes and said: "Just you guys..."
Qi Jing suddenly stepped forward, took out a small ingot of silver from his bosom, and threw it gently. The silver landed on the beads of Yang's abacus with a clang. Qi Jing said in a deep voice: "I want a good banquet. Please serve your specialties. Is that enough?"
Shopkeeper Yang smiled brightly: "Enough, enough, of course it's enough, come on, please take a seat."
Qi Jing took a step back, glanced at Tang Shiyue, and was not surprised to see the girl's shining eyes.
He has always been low-key and introverted, rarely doing such ostentatious behavior, but he suddenly felt that she might be happy.
She was indeed very happy.
Even Fourth Uncle Tang and his wife were not stingy with the money, and the four of them walked into the private room with their heads held high.
In fact, Yunlai Restaurant is just a very ordinary small restaurant, and the food is not that delicious, but Fourth Uncle Tang and his wife enjoyed the meal very much.
Halfway through the meal, I heard the waiter running in through the screen, saying in a hurry, "Boss! Sifang Restaurant said that they will have a new wine on the market tomorrow, called Fushou Jieshu Wine, 120 taels a bucket!"
"How come there's new wine?" Shopkeeper Yang asked anxiously, "Have you found out which winery it comes from?"
"No," the waiter said, "I heard from the people at Baiweilou that they bought it from the county town!"
Shopkeeper Yang said angrily, "Go and ask around! Make sure to find out which winery it is from! Even if it's in the county, go buy it! If you keep going like this, all the customers in the county will go to his store!"
In the private room, Tang Shiyue and the other three exchanged glances with each other, and they were all in a very good mood.
Even after leaving the restaurant, Fourth Uncle Tang couldn't help but say, "I feel really happy!"
Madam Zhou also said, "With money in hand, I feel less anxious and more confident. Back then... I never thought this day would come!"
They returned to the village chatting and laughing, and first stayed at a small winery.
The small brewery had spread the news several days ago that it was going to harvest wheat, and each family planned to sell any surplus wheat to him one after another, so the small brewery also kept some staff on hand.
Fourth Uncle Tang led his men in and introduced them to them, "This is your Third Uncle. This is my second brother's eldest son, Tang Junliang, who is two years older than Yue'er. This is Qi Jing and Yue'er whom I mentioned to you. You can just call them by their names."
Uncle Tang San doesn't look like Uncle Tang Si. Uncle Tang San has a thinner face, bright eyes, and looks very shrewd.
He was obviously surprised why Fourth Uncle Tang would introduce a young lady so seriously, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "A Jing, Yue'er."
Tang Junliang also whispered: "Brother Qi, Yue'er."
After the two sides met, Tang Shiyue and Qi Jing said goodbye and left. Madam Zhou sent them out and whispered, "Don't worry, I just asked Third Brother and Liang'er to come over to help, and they are also paid. They don't know the specific reason."
Tang Shiyue nodded in response.
During these two days, Uncle Tang San and Tang Junliang were left at home to collect grain, while Uncle Tang Si and Qi Jing quietly went to find the head of the Tang family.
They had agreed on their speech in advance.
Of course, the recipe was Qi Jing's, and Qi Jing was grateful for Tang Shiyue's kindness, and because she refused to accept money, he took out the wine recipe and wanted to give her a 10% profit. A batch had been given to a small wine shop for trial brewing, and it sold quite well.
Now we have already discussed with the seller that we want to brew more for the next batch, so we want to find a place in the village to build a bigger winery. Then we can ask the villagers to help, which can be regarded as a way to make a living. We asked the clan leader to go and find the village head, and the clan leader and the village head will each take half of the profit.
The head of the Tang family was very happy when he heard it.
He felt more and more that Tang Shiyue was indeed bringing him good luck. Once this big winery opened, villagers would be able to go to work without leaving home. This was a great thing. Moreover, if the winery really became famous, he, as the patriarch of the Tang family, would also bring honor to his ancestors!
And from then on, the Chen family members all depended on the Tang family winery for their meals. How could they even raise their heads in front of him?
