Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Wait until noon the next day.

Several carriages then drove towards Chen Sanlin's house.

The villagers have long been accustomed to this phenomenon.

Zhang Chengjin arrived with Su Cheng: "Cousin, long time no see."

"Cousin, this is Shopkeeper Su." It was the first time for Zhang Chengjin to come to Xu Wenyan's house. Looking at the house built with earthen bricks, he couldn't help but frown.

No wonder Xu Wenyan refused to forgive the Zhang family. He had lived in this kind of house since he was a child. No wonder he would complain.

But what Zhang Chengjin didn't know was that this kind of house was already the best house in Jixiang Village.

"Cousin, the wine is all here. There are thirty-two jars in total. Please count them."

"it is good."

The purchase price of this wine is ten taels of silver per jar, which is not particularly expensive, but not cheap either, and is in the middle range.

After all, the grapes Xu Wenyan used were not very good, and the bitterness could still be tasted.

But Xu Wenyan was already very satisfied with this price.

Afterwards, he took the two of them to the factory. There were many factories of all sizes in the county, and the two of them didn't think there was anything strange.

The scale of this factory is not very large.

"Hey, Manager Xu, why is there a spicy and pungent smell here? It smells quite fragrant if you smell it carefully." Su Cheng asked curiously.

"Oh, the factory next to me processes chili peppers, so the taste is a bit strong."

Su Cheng recalled the new dishes at Qing'an Restaurant, each of which was delicious and fragrant. He guessed that the seasonings added in them came from here.

People in Lin County rarely ate chili peppers before, but since Xu Wenyan started setting up the stall, people here have been very receptive to chili peppers.

"Oh? Then do you need my help to check the market for your chili products in other places?"

Xu Wenyan didn't have such a plan. His family had dozens or even hundreds of acres of peppers, but there wouldn't be much to make into chili powder or something like that.

Ever since Xu Wenyan made money, he bought a lot of wasteland.

He has buffaloes at home, and he pays others to help him plow the land. Now he owns deeds to hundreds of acres of land.

This land deed is different. Whoever holds it owns it.

More than one hundred acres of land are planted with potatoes, and some other areas are planted with some common vegetables. The road to Xujia Village is about to be cleared, and the vegetables for Qing'an Restaurant can be purchased in Jixiang Village in the future.

Although the people don’t earn much, at least they have something to look forward to and more sources of income.

Xu Wenyan had no intention of snatching this little money from the villagers.

"How about this, Shopkeeper Su? I'll give you a can of chili powder and a bag of dried chilies. Please help me promote it. If the effect is good, I'll plant more next year."

"Oh, how can we let Manager Xu spend money? I'll buy it at any price." Manager Su waved his hands repeatedly.

"I've been doing business with Shopkeeper Su for so long, it's just some chili peppers. I'll give you some too, cousin."

Zhang Chengjin smiled and nodded: "Of course, what my cousin makes is good."

After counting the potato flour, Xu Wenyan grabbed Zhang Chengjin and said, "Cousin, do you have any gold?"

"Gold is rarely used in private transactions. What do you want it for?"

"Oh, I just like golden things. So you can just give me two hundred taels this time and change the rest into gold. You can give me the rest tomorrow when I go to the county."

"Okay, do you want anything else?" Zhang Chengjin still wanted to make up something to Xu Wenyan. Even if he wanted a house, Zhang Chengjin would agree without hesitation: "By the way, cousin, have you had your birthday yet?"

He was a little confused when he asked Xu Wenyan these questions: "Oh, my birthday has passed. My birthday is in September. I don't want anything else. I don't accept gifts on my birthday."

"How can this be possible? I, your cousin, don't even know about your birthday..."

"Then cousin, please give me another carriage." Xu Wenyan's business has grown quite big now, and it is not enough to rely solely on Xiaohong.

It takes too long for the old mule and the buffalo to travel across the county.

"Okay, is there anything else you want?" Zhang Chengjin asked, looking up.

"No, no, the horse is fine. Cousin, please stay for lunch. The spicy rabbit I made is delicious."

Zhang Chengjin smiled and said, "Okay."

Every time there was a new guest at home, the rabbits in the pen would tremble.

Although rabbit doesn’t have much nutritional value, it’s delicious. People who are trying to lose weight will be delighted because it’s full of protein.

"Hiss, hiss, shopkeeper Xu, your spicy rabbit is really too addictive. It makes me feel anxious, but I still want to eat more after eating it."

"Haha, this is what they call the more you eat, the more you get addicted." Fortunately, these peppers are flavorful, but in Xu Wenyan's mouth, the spiciness is not enough.

There are so many different levels of spiciness in modern pepper varieties, and the only one that Xu Wenyan could eat with great pleasure was a rice noodle shop.

I don't know what kind of pepper is so fierce.

Of course, there are some peppers that are not spicy at all, such as bell peppers, and people who are trying to lose weight even eat them as fruits.

It was so terrifying.

After seeing off a few people, Xu Wenyan's pocket became bulging again.

You can't do without some money in your hand. The average monthly salary alone costs several dozen taels.

Xu Wenyan put all the money in the house on the beam, and it would be impossible to find it if you didn’t look carefully.

In the previous life, many elderly people in families liked to buy money, but that was paper money. I remember one year when there was an infestation of rats, most people’s money in the village was ruined.

Because of this incident, people would always keep their money on them, or tie it to their mouth in a plastic bag and then put it in their pockets.

Or just stuff it directly into the sole of your foot.

The small amounts saved in a year can be exchanged for whole bills at the bank.

At that time, no one trusted banks. How could you feel safe leaving your money with someone else as you would if it was in your own hands?

In the afternoon, the fool came to the yard to find Xu Wenyan.

The black bear kept barking, but the fool didn't leave or move, just smiled foolishly at the black bear.

"Fool?"

When the fool saw Xu Wenyan coming out, he smiled at him: "Hey, I want beans."

"Beans?" Xu Wenyan then remembered what Hua and the others had said yesterday.

"What kind of beans do you want?"

"I want beans, hehe."

Xu Wenyan had no choice but to ask Chen Dong and Xiaohua to take out all the beans in the house. When the fool saw the beans, he rushed over.

When I saw him pick up a mung bean, I laughed first.

Xu Wenyan thought he was looking for mung beans, but he didn't expect that he put the mung beans down and shook his head the next second.

Then he picked up another black bean, laughed again, shook his head and put it down.

Until he got a yellow bean, he looked at it and danced with joy: "Beans...haha...beans."

"You finally got soybeans. Rongrong, just give him the whole bag of soybeans." Although this idiot has some mental problems, he never slacks off at work.

Once a lamb jumped out of the ranch, and he was the one who found it back.

To be exact, I brought it back...

So Xu Wenyan didn't think it was a big deal to give him these beans.

"Beans..., hehe. Thank you, Beans."

The fool left with the soybeans, and Xu Wenyan continued to study his things.

He had no idea what the fool was thinking.
