Chapter 78: Isn't there a father who is a county magistrate?
"Jiayuan, be careful when you set off firecrackers." Xiao Jiuyue reminded.
On the night of New Year's Eve, the main courtyard of the Xiao family was very lively.
Xiao Jiayuan’s legs can already walk. He and Xiao Jiachen are of similar age, and their friendship is getting better and better!
The two little guys are young but very brave. When they set off firecrackers, each one is more powerful than the other!
"Sister, look, let me set one off for you." Xiao Jiayuan lit the fireworks and ran away. The dazzling fireworks behind him ignited with a bang, reflecting Xiao Jiayuan's happy smile.
"Amazing." Xiao Jiuyue praised. Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xiao Yurong and Xiao Tingwu beside him. The two were eager to try. After half a year of cultivation, Xiao Tingwu's face finally became a lot rosier, but he still didn't like to talk much.
"Sister, can we play this?" Xiao Yurong couldn't help but look at it with envy.
"Jia Yuan and the others can all play, so you just need to be careful." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xiao Tingwu and said, "Tingwu, do you want to join us?"
"Sister, I can't." Xiao Tingwu said no, but she couldn't help but move forward.
"Come on." Xiao Jiuyue directly pulled Xiao Tingwu over.
Xiao Tingwu, who was reserved at first, had a lot of fun under the guidance of the enthusiastic and generous Xiao Jiuyue.
Aunt Xiao had just helped Xiao Jiahong stand up. Xiao Jiahong was like Xiao Jiayuan's little tail. Wherever Xiao Jiayuan played, he would follow behind him and laugh foolishly. When she noticed that Xiao Tingwu was also playing with fireworks and firecrackers, her lips moved, but she did not stop him in the end.
Under the brilliant fireworks, although the Xiao family did not reunite, they were still happy, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation!
Time has entered the 24th year of Emperor Jing, a brand new year, and also the first year after Xiao Jiuyue traveled through time.
The first month of the year is lively and busy.
Xiao Jiuyue was planning to buy some cows and sheep and raise them in the shed on the west side, as well as chickens, ducks, rabbits and the like. Xiao Jiuyue gave instructions in an orderly manner.
"Manager Jin, I want to buy a few cows, preferably the kind that can give birth to calves and produce milk." Xiao Jiuyue reminded him that milk is a good thing, but unfortunately, there are no dairy cows on the prairie now!
It's okay. If she raises a few more cows, they will definitely produce a lot of milk.
"Yes," Chief Steward Jin replied. Xiao Jiuyue called Yu Ge over again. After the Gan family fell, there was no need to worry about it anymore. She instructed, "Take your men and put all the manure, soil, weeds, etc. into a pit and let them compost."
"Yes." Yu Ge didn't feel disgusted when he heard the manure. It was all good stuff. Although he didn't know why it had to be piled in the pit and what composting meant, he just had to listen to what the eldest lady said.
"This is the shopping list, Luokui, take Jinwen to the county to buy some." Xiao Jiuyue made a list of things like oil, vinegar, sugar, etc. When the white radish and cabbage are harvested, these things will be great for making sour radish and sauerkraut!
After Xiao Jiuyue had given all the instructions, he remembered that he still needed to buy some large jars for pickled radishes and pickled cabbage. The Tang family should have some.
"Miss, Miss Tang is here."
Lian Xin's voice rang out, Xiao Jiuyue put down his pen and raised his eyebrows: Speak of the devil and he will appear.
Xiao Jiuyue stood up. Tang Tian had just finished wishing her grandmother a happy new year. When she saw Xiao Jiuyue, she was particularly happy: "Sister Xiao, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year and best wishes for prosperity." Xiao Jiuyue said to her grandmother and led Tang Tian back to her yard.
Along the way, Tang Tian chirped like a happy lark: "Sister Xiao, canned oranges are selling like hotcakes. Now that several families in the county are having banquets, if there isn't a plate of canned oranges and a few dishes of snacks from our candy shop on the table, it would be embarrassing to host a banquet!"
"Let me tell you, County Magistrate Cheng's daughter, Cheng Fangjiao, opened a pastry shop last year, just like me. Do you know what it's called?" Tang Tian said excitedly, looking at Xiao Jiuyue excitedly.
Xiao Jiuyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Fangxin Bakery?"
"Wow, Sister Xiao, you are so awesome!" Tang Tian looked at her in surprise.
Xiao Jiuyue: “…” Lancang County is only this big, and Fangxin Pastry Shop, with the word ‘Fang’ in it, is not difficult to guess.
"From my perspective, her pastry shop doesn't look like a place that sells pastries. What's the point of calling it a 'Fangxin Pastry Shop'? Could it be that a girl's heart is set on a pastry shop?" Tang Tian said with a giggle.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at her and said, "Be careful with your words."
"It's okay. Sister Xiao won't tell anyone anyway, right?" Tang Tian's smile was sweeter than honey, her eyes clear and innocent. Those crystal clear eyes seemed to say: You will definitely not cheat me.
"..." Xiao Jiuyue thought, if she didn't have the Tang family protecting her, with her simple nature, she would have been sold out by others and would have had to help others count the money.
"Sister Xiao, I'm going to work hard this year to expand the cake shop's business and make more money." Tang Tian said with a look of excitement: "This year, my parents heard that my cake shop is making money, and they both praised me!"
Tang Tian looked proud and seemed to be asking for praise.
"Come on, as long as you work hard, your pastry shop will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Lancang County. Then you can even open a shop in the provincial capital!" Xiao Jiuyue said encouragingly with a smile. He really made it happen as soon as he opened his mouth.
Tang Tian's eyes were like flames that ignited instantly. She excitedly grabbed Xiao Jiuyue's hand and said, "Sister Xiao is right. In the future, we can open a shop in the capital."
Tang Tian then began chattering again, her voice as excited as a bird on a branch. Especially when Tang Tian mentioned that it was even better than the Fangxin Bakery, Xiao Jiuyue suddenly had an idea and asked, "What's Cheng Fangjiao's personality like?"
"Her?" Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, then replied obediently, "Her eyes are on top of her head. She's the county magistrate's daughter. Every time we have a party, everyone flatters her. She's not a great pianist, painter, or dancer, but everyone praises her."
"Isn't it because she has a father who is a county magistrate?" Tang Tian curled her lips and said, "She wants to open a shop, or she wants to compete with me."
"You, aren't you worried that she will embarrass you?"
Xiao Jiuyue looked at her sideways. Perhaps, the Tang family was more than just a kiln-making family?
"Why should I be afraid of her?" Tang Tian tilted her head and said with a smile, "Let me tell you, my uncle is very powerful. He is not afraid of her."
"Well, about the canned oranges and the snacks in the shop, did you do as I said? Did you pay attention to safety issues?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
"Don't worry, I've been very careful since you told me last time. From delivery to handling, experience is required. I will never give bad guys a chance." Tang Tian patted her chest and guaranteed. She didn't understand it before. The things she made were very clean!
It wasn't until Xiao Jiuyue told her that she might be framed by her peers that she became more cautious.
"The jar for canning oranges must be preserved properly and cleaned so that it can be used next year." Xiao Jiuyue reminded her.
