Walking out of the "Guhong Tower" in the valley with the signed bet, Xiao Qi scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong.
Didn’t we agree to go out for a drink? Why did we suddenly start betting?
And this bet... is really scary.
Seven days, two thousand taels!
It's true that the young master is very capable, but it seems impossible for him to earn so much in seven days.
However, seeing that the young master looked confident, Xiao Qi suppressed the question and asked instead, "Young Master, where are we going next?"
Chen Lang said, "Let's go to the wine shop and buy some wine."
There are two wine shops in Linshui County, one is run by a Liao person and the other is run by a Yan person.
The Liao people's wine shop sold wine with a slightly higher alcohol content than Dayan, but it did not have the mellowness of strong liquor and had a very ordinary taste.
The wine of Dayan was too light. The Yan people didn't think it was anything special when they drank it, but the Liao people really didn't like this light wine.
In addition, as Linshui was a trading post, there was frequent trade between Yan and Liao, which led to the local Yan people in Linshui being influenced by some Liao people and starting to like drinking strong liquor.
Therefore, the wine shops opened by the Liao people had better business than those opened by the Yan people.
This greatly facilitated Chen Lang.
The Liao people's wine has more impurities, while the Yan people's wine has relatively fewer impurities. If it is purified twice, it is obvious that the Yan people's wine is better.
He ordered twenty jars of wine from the wine shop and asked the waiter to deliver them directly to his mansion.
Then Chen Lang took Xiao Qi to several carpenter shops and ordered parts for the distiller from them.
When these parts are spread out, no one knows what they are used for.
After finishing all this, it was already late, so Chen Lang took Xiao Qi and returned home leisurely.
When I got home, I found the atmosphere at home was very depressing.
The two little girls, Guoguo and Cuicui, were lying on the table writing, but from their expressions, it was clear that they were very bored.
Sun Yuwei sat next to his daughter, also looking daydreamy.
The only ones who are relatively energetic are Chen Tao and Xiao Huihui.
A man and a wolf are playing the "throw the stick" game.
Each person threw one and picked it up, having a lot of fun.
However, after Chen Lang came back, Xiao Huihui came to find Chen Lang with a wooden stick in his mouth.
Chen Lang rubbed the wolf's head angrily and said, "You really are becoming more and more like a dog."
Little Gray: "Ouch?"
Chen Lang picked up the wooden stick on the ground and threw it out with force.
Xiao Huihui turned into gray lightning and flew away in a flash.
Chen Lang walked over to Guoguo and Cuicui and said, "Stop writing. It's getting late. If you keep writing, your eyes will get damaged."
Guoguo cheered, "Daddy is the best."
Cuicui said, "Okay, teacher."
Chen Lang asked Xiao Qimei: "Do you also want to learn culture?"
Little Seventh Sister lowered her head: "I dare not."
Chen Lang said: "Don't say that, our family doesn't have those messy rules."
"Cui Cui."
"teacher?"
"Starting tomorrow, you'll bring Xiao Qi with you...hiss, speaking of which, Xiao Qi?"
Xiao Qi walked over quickly and said, "Young Master, call me."
"I've been following you for so long, and I still don't know your brother and sister's names."
Xiao Qi said, "In reply to your question, my name is Zeng Ah Qi, and my sister is Zeng Jiu Mei."
Chen Lang: “…”
The way Xiaoqi's parents named him is very simple.
"Well, after asking, Little Seventh Sister becomes Ninth Sister, so I feel like I asked in vain." Chen Lang smiled helplessly and said, "Cuicui, from now on, when you read, take Ninth Sister with you. Teach her whatever you know."
Cuicui nodded: "Okay, teacher, I'll take note."
At this time, Li Xiuzhi came out of the kitchen and said, "The meal is ready. Let's clean up and get ready to eat."
Chen Lang picked up Guoguo and walked towards the kitchen.
Guoguo put her arms around Chen Lang's neck and was very affectionate with him.
Daddy hasn't hugged me like this for a long time.
The little girl's actions also made Chen Lang realize that he had indeed paid less attention to her during this period.
So when they sat at the dinner table, Chen Lang did not put Guoguo down, but held her in his arms and fed her.
Guoguo's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.
Li Xiuzhi said helplessly: "Erlang, don't spoil her so much."
Chen Lang said: "It's only natural to spoil your own daughter."
"Guoguo, after dinner, daddy will take you out to play, okay?"
Guoguo danced with joy: "Great!"
Chen Lang said, "After dinner, our whole family will go out to visit the night market by the water."
Then he said to the new servants in the house, "I'll give each of you two coins to spend. Go out and buy what you like."
The servants all bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."
After dinner, the family walked out of the house in a mighty procession.
The reason for making such a suggestion is that Chen Lang realized that the whole family, except himself and Xiaoqi, had a fear of Lin Shui, as if this was some kind of flood or monster.
This is also human nature. After all, Linshui is a completely unfamiliar place to them.
Take them out for walks more often, and once they become familiar with the environment, this fear will naturally subside.
The night market along the water is indeed much more lively than the one in Nanhe. In addition to the Yan and Liao people, you can also see foreigners such as Persians and Arabs on the streets.
It was the first time Guoguo saw these people with blue eyes, high noses and curly hair, and she was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.
"Daddy, they look so weird." Guoguo said in Chen Lang's ear.
Chen Lang took this opportunity to teach Guoguo some geographical knowledge.
"The land beneath our feet is actually a ball."
Guoguo: “Ah?”
"Our Dayan is only about the size of a palm on this ball."
Guoguo: "Wow?"
"These people who look different from us come from another country on Earth. Their country..."
Guoguo: "Daddy, it's a sugar man."
Chen Lang was at a loss for words, it turned out to be all in vain.
However, learning is a gradual process. Talking about world geography now is indeed a bit beyond the scope for Guoguo.
Let’s eat sugar men.
The candy figurine stall was doing pretty good business, with several people queuing up in front. Chen Lang looked around boredly when he suddenly discovered a new and interesting thing.
"Xiuzhi, hold Guoguo for a moment. I'll be right back."
After saying that, he handed the fruit to Li Xiuzhi and walked towards another stall.
Xiaoqi followed immediately.
The vendor at this stall was a foreigner, who looked like a Arab from the looks of his clothes. He was showing his wares to passersby, but the passersby had no interest in what he had in their hands.
The Arab was very disappointed. He traveled thousands of miles to Dayan with the intention of spreading Allah's ideas to all living beings. However, his missionary work failed and he was robbed by bandits, and all his money was taken away.
Now he just wanted to sell the last valuable things he had on him, exchange them for some money, and go back to his hometown.
However, after selling it for several days, no one was interested.
He hadn't eaten for several days. If he could wait another two or three days, he wouldn't have to go back home and could go directly to see Allah.
