Chapter 210 The Sour Taste of Love
It was quite close to the government office, an old house with a wide area, but the house had fallen into disrepair over the years, with part of the roof collapsed and many doors and windows falling off.
This old house was built about 20 to 30 years ago, but it was sold five years ago.
The buyer was originally a businessman in the capital, his surname was Guo and his given name was Yuan. He had planned to buy a house in Qinghe, renovate it, and live out his days in Qinghe, which is adjacent to the capital, when he got older. This would allow him to live in a quiet place while being close to the capital, so he could take charge of his family business at any time.
However, as the family business has not been smooth in recent years and there is insufficient money on hand to turn around, he thought about selling some dispensable properties to raise some money.
The house here in Qinghe had not been built yet and was something that was not in good use. It was one of the properties that was disposed of. When he heard that someone in Qinghe County was looking for a house near the government office, he took the opportunity to make a move.
Guo originally wanted a good price, but after hearing the reason, he only asked for the market price and even took the initiative to reduce the price by half.
As businessmen, most of us admire those who are bold and willing to do new things, and who do not do it just to make money.
Guo Yuan is no exception.
Upon seeing this, Su Yujin thanked him repeatedly and paid in cash, saving him the trouble of cashing out.
After buying the house, Su Yujin did not stop at all. She found people to renovate and renovate the house, and even posted a notice to recruit cooks and people to clean the house.
It can be said that Su Yujin has been extremely busy these past two days. She usually gets up early every morning, goes out for breakfast, and returns home before dinner. Because she is tired, she washes up and falls asleep after dinner.
He Yanxiu, "..."
Sure enough, in Su Yujin's eyes, "Speedy" seemed more important.
She is so busy every day that she totally ignores the fact that there is someone at home all day long.
After thinking for half a day, He Yanxiu asked Xing'an to pack up and prepare to return to Beijing.
When Su Yujin learned that He Yanxiu was leaving, she was quite surprised, "Second Master is leaving?"
He Yanxiu had been staying here very leisurely these past few days. Su Yujin saw it and thought that he was going to live here comfortably for a while, but he left so suddenly.
"We have been busy for the past few days. Just leave the rest to the subordinates. It will probably not be so busy in the future. Tomorrow is Lantern Festival. I also said that I would cook a good meal for the Second Master."
It was also a way to thank He Yanxiu for helping her so much this time.
Although the start was a bit awkward, Su Yujin felt that if He Yanxiu hadn't been there as a stepping stone, the cooperation between her and Ye Yongwang would not have been so smooth.
He Yanxiu held up his head, which had nodded twice, and then tilted it to the left, then to the right. "Don't mention it. I've been reading too much these days, and my neck is really a little uncomfortable."
"You just said that tomorrow is the Lantern Festival?"
He Yanxiu turned to Xing'an, frowning, "Didn't you just say that tomorrow is the seventeenth?"
Xing'an, "..."
When did he say that?
Besides, if tomorrow is the seventeenth, then today is the sixteenth, and yesterday was the fifteenth, the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival is a big festival. Don’t you have any idea whether it is celebrated or not?
"I always thought that tomorrow was the 17th and I had to go back to Beijing to handle official business, but it turns out I was wrong." He Yanxiu said, "In that case, there is no need to rush back. Stay for two more days. It's a good opportunity to avoid the social events in Beijing."
"Yes." Su Yujin responded with a smile, planning the Lantern Festival meal.
Early the next morning, Su Yujin, Mother Liu and Ai Cao started to work.
Busy making dumplings and rolling Yuanxiao.
Black sesame filling, red bean filling, rose candied date filling, walnut and peanut filling, tangerine cake and ham filling...all kinds of fillings, from morning to night, I tried all of them.
At night, when we had eaten ham and bamboo shoots, boiled fish, tofu with salted egg yolk, fried yam with black fungus, crystal pork elbow, and tiger skin chicken feet, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside was deafening and lasted for a long time.
Ai Cao looked eagerly at the colorful fireworks rising into the sky, and encouraged Su Yujin, "Miss, let's go to the street outside and take a look. I heard that Shopkeeper Feng had people hang lanterns all over the main street, and each one has a riddle on it. If you guess the riddle, not only can you take the lantern away, you can also go to the lottery at the door of Feng's shop. I heard that the prize is the Yongfu silk cotton cloth woven in the Yongfu workshop!"
Years ago, workers in weaving workshops came up with the idea of mixing silk threads with cotton threads. The cloth woven in this way has a slight glossiness, but also has the durability of cotton cloth, and has better coloring, and most importantly, it is cheap.
Feng Yuanhao called this kind of cloth Yongfu silk cotton cloth.
A batch of such Yongfu silk cotton cloth had been woven, but Feng Yuanhao was not in a hurry to start selling it. Instead, he just stockpiled the cloth and gave a small amount of it to regular customers of Feng's Cloth Shop.
The items are good and rare, and the most important thing is that I can receive new products given to me by the Feng family, which is very face-saving.
Many people who received Yongfu silk and cotton cloth would show off in private, so much so that during the New Year, many people were proud to receive Yongfu silk and cotton cloth from Feng’s shop, and even tried every possible way to get a few pieces.
So much so that the name of Yongfu silk cotton cloth spread throughout the streets and alleys of Qinghe County during the Spring Festival.
Now Feng Yuanhao is taking advantage of the riddle incident to hype up the popularity again. The popularity of Yongfu silk cotton cloth will increase again, and when it starts selling, there is no need to worry about business not being prosperous!
This series of operations by Feng Yuanhao can be said to be an excellent operating method. Even Su Yujin couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. He even sighed in his heart and felt that his wallet would soon be bulging again!
When Su Yujin heard Ai Cao talking about guessing the lantern riddles to win Yongfu silk cotton cloth, she smiled and asked, "Why didn't you ask Shuang Ye and the others to go with you?"
"I did want to." Ai Cao curled her lips, "but Shuang Ye and Yu Xiucai went out to enjoy the lanterns together, and they were busy secretly looking at the two people on the treetops. They left after dusk."
"I really can't understand it. Winning prizes by guessing lantern riddles is so interesting. What's the point of following someone around? What else can two people do together? It's nothing but the sour taste of love!"
It would be better to win some prizes!
He Yanxiu, who was getting dressed and preparing to invite Su Yujin to go for lantern viewing and strolling, said, "..."
The sour taste of love...
Who are you talking about ?
He Yanxiu cleared his throat and said, "I think what Ai Cao said is very true. It's the Lantern Festival. Is there anything more interesting than guessing lantern riddles?"
Then he looked at Su Yujin, "Why don't we go and take a look at the riddles made by the Feng family? Since you are half the owner of this weaving workshop, I wonder if you can get some good luck?"
The Lantern Festival, which was first established in the Han Dynasty and then gradually became more diverse, is also called the Shangyuan Festival. It is actually the traditional Valentine's Day. Even in traditional ancient times, young girls were allowed to show their faces in public at night to meet their loved ones. It was also a good opportunity for men and women to meet each other, so the night of the Shangyuan Festival in ancient times was very lively~~~~ In addition, there are so few monthly tickets at the beginning of the month, and it is about to fall below 100. I am crying. During the double period, please support~ (End of this chapter)
