Dressed as a little farmer's lucky treasure, God sends blessings and asks for forgiveness

Finally, a group of brothers went back and discussed for a long time and came to the conclusion that they could make money by selling goods.

After that, a group of peddlers appeared who specialized in walking the streets, and their baskets were marked with "Zhao's Grocery Store".

This means that the goods are from Zhao’s grocery store.

From then on, Zhao’s grocery store became famous in the county town.

As her reputation spread, Zhao Shiying planned to cultivate confidants and selected them from among Brother Qiang's group of people. The amount of goods also increased significantly, both in quantity and variety.

Sometimes when customers came to ask for something that was not in the store, Zhao Shiying would have it delivered the next day, and since then a new item had been added.

After the affairs in the county were almost done and Mr. Qian had calmed down, Zhao Shiying and others decided to return to the village.

The shop was handed over to four people: Mrs. Yang, Old Man Yang, Wang Mian and Yang Fan.

However, within two days it started to rain and there were thunderstorms.

No one knew what happened, but Mr. Qian was struck by lightning while he was sleeping at night.

While he was sleeping, two lightning bolts struck Mr. Qian directly, and Mrs. Qian was also affected. There was not a single healthy part of her body, it was all black.

Mr. Qian was already smoking. His legs were broken the first time. Just as he let out a scream, another bolt of lightning struck his mouth. In the end, he was unable to speak. His mouth was so black that you couldn't even find it. The key point was that it was crooked and he couldn't speak at all.

Now there is going to be chaos in Mr. Qian's mansion. Usually Mr. Qian is the one in charge, but now something has happened. There is only Madam Qian in the mansion. Azhi is the mistress, and although there are many concubines, they are useless and cannot be the master of the Qian mansion. Now that Mr. Qian has gotten into trouble, it is really a big deal.

When Ah Zhi saw the miserable appearance of Mr. Qian, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a sin he had committed, the scene of four years ago was repeated again.

Struck by lightning ~ what a familiar word.

The previous hair-shaving incident hasn't been investigated yet, and now he's struck by lightning again.

Azhi frowned.

After calling a doctor for treatment, he became paralyzed and the bones in both legs were broken. It would take a hundred days to recover and his mouth felt like it was dislocated. As soon as the doctor started to operate, Qian started crying and screaming, so the doctor was afraid to do anything. Finally, he found that even if he wanted to straighten the bones, he couldn't do it. The bones were not dislocated at all, and he didn't know why it happened.

The doctor prescribed some medicine, left some ointment and left.

This matter was well concealed, and Zhao Shiying and others didn't know about it. After they returned, there were three consecutive days of thunderstorms, and they couldn't even go out. But even so, Zhao Guocheng and others transported several ox carts of umbrellas and food to replenish the stock.

I heard that umbrellas are the best-selling products these days. Selling umbrellas on rainy days is an urgently needed item. The key is that after using this umbrella, everyone found that it is different from other umbrellas. It is not only stronger, but also has a more durable umbrella surface. Some people have reported that the good umbrellas they bought before broke or leaked rainwater after about five or six uses.

But the umbrellas at Zhao’s Grocery Store are not like that. Some people have used them four or five times and haven’t found any problems at all. They are just the same as when they were first bought.

In order to produce more umbrellas, Wang Ronghua recruited a group of apprentices and old men who specialized in carpentry to do the preliminary work. As a result, the production volume increased a lot. The rooms in the workshop were also adjusted. The room that previously made Songhua eggs was moved out to make oil-paper umbrellas. The room that made Songhua eggs was moved to the middle row of rooms, and more manpower was added. The workshop also cooperated with a few people to go to the mountains to cut bamboo every day, so they were busy.

Especially now that spring bamboo shoots can be dug, Zhao's workshop not only provides bamboo shoots to Fumanlou, but also sells them in Zhao's grocery store.

At this time, Azhi also met people who came from the capital to look for their relatives.

...........

Around mid-March, the weather started to get warmer and not as cold as before.

Zhao Shiying went to the fields to check on the seedlings. They were growing very well and would have to be transplanted in half a month at most. By then, the seedlings would be quite tall.

They are afraid that if it snows or hails in April, all their hard work will be in vain.

I don't know what happened that day. It seemed like the rain had stopped. After three consecutive days of rain, it was sunny for only one day, and then it started raining again, and it was sleet, and the weather turned cold again.

This lasted for ten days, and Zhao's workshop was affected somewhat because many people did not go up the mountain due to weather reasons, so naturally the harvest of mountain products was less.

Wang Ronghua asked people to start cutting palm leaves, cutting them in large quantities, and also collecting some from other villages and carrying them back to sell.

Zhao Shiying handed this matter over to Liu Chuanmu. Now that the oil-paper umbrella was on the right track, it was time to develop a new product...the straw raincoat.

We had raincoats before, but they were too heavy. This time they made thin, medium-thick and thick versions. The main thing was to make the weight so it couldn’t be too heavy, but the quality had to be guaranteed.

Zhao Shiying also started to learn to write. She was forced to do so by Wang Ronghua. She was four years old and needed to be taught.

But Zhao Shiying's learning shocked Wang Ronghua. She learned it after just one teaching and was able to apply it to other situations, which shocked Wang Ronghua.

It was at this time that Zhao Guocheng received a letter from Wang Yueshan sent back from the capital.

"Mom, my uncle's letter is back." Zhao Shisheng smiled happily and ran into the house quickly with the letter.

"Really? Let me see." Wang Ronghua wiped his hands quickly, then unfolded the letter and started reading.

Zhao Guocheng had already read it. To be more precise, it was Zhao Shisheng who read it to him.

"What? Uncle wrote to me. What did he say?" Zhao Shimin hurried over. Zhao Shiying also stood in front of Wang Ronghua curiously. She was originally writing in the room. When she heard that her uncle had sent a letter, she came out immediately.

'That's great. Your uncle said that everything is fine in the capital and he has finished the exam. He waited until the results were announced before writing to us. He passed the exam, but there is still one last step. I heard that he will have to go to the palace to meet the emperor for the palace examination, and the final winner will be decided. So he will have to stay in the capital for a while...' Wang Ronghua narrated after reading it.

Everyone cheered immediately.

"So that means my uncle should be one of the top three candidates in the imperial examination?" Zhao Shihui said in surprise.

"That's for sure. I guess he will be the top scorer." Zhao Shisheng was very confident.

"At the very least, he's the runner-up." Zhao Shimin thought.

"No doubt about it, he must be the top scorer. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet," said Zhao Shiying.

"No bet, if you say he is the top scorer, then he must be the top scorer." Zhao Shihui shook his head.

Several people chattered for a long time, very happily.

"Hurry, let's go to Wangjia Village now and tell our parents the news and make them happy too." Wang Ronghua said excitedly.

"Let's go. I just happened to deliver some goods over to see how Ah Man is doing with his business recently. I haven't visited him since Ah Man took over." Zhao Guocheng said.
