My delicate husband
Chapter 138 An An, having you is my blessing
Guo Ge'er has been a little overwhelmed recently. He finally understood the concerns of Zhang Xiaomo and Lan An. He and Song Hanzi were in trouble.
When Guo Ge'er came to Anzhou for the first time, he begged Song Hanzi to accompany him to stroll around Anzhou City. Anzhou City was of course prosperous, but the prices were very expensive. A bowl of ordinary noodles cost about one hundred coins. However, Guo Ge'er was still very happy to see many rare things, and Song Hanzi was also happy to pamper him.
However, the two of them did not have much silver with them, and Guo Ge'er felt sorry for the beggar child and gave him some copper coins, but he was targeted because of this.
Guo Ge'er accidentally bumped into someone while shopping at the market. Song Hanzi was buying candy for Guo Ge'er, but when Guo Ge'er realized it, he found that his wallet was lost.
Guo Ge'er anxiously went to find Song Hanzi, but it was too late and he couldn't get him back. Guo Ge'er cried. All the grievances he had suffered along the way burst out at this moment, and he cried very sadly.
Song Hanzi coaxed Guo Ge'er for a long time, so long that he became a little impatient. After all, Guo Ge'er was too pampered and had delayed him a lot of time along the way. Now that the purse was lost, the two of them had no money left.
Guo Ge'er is quite pretentious and cannot live in the open air like Song Hanzi. It is also difficult for the two of them to go to the border. For a while, the two of them fell into a cold war.
Lan An, Zhang Xiaomo and others also came to the county town. Brother Wu also has fields, and Lan An also plans to plant corn on all the wasteland. The main reason for coming to the county town today is this.
Lan Eucalyptus took out the seeds from the space, and Zhang Xiaomo found Bai Lu and told him about the arrangements for the wasteland. Spring plowing was about to come, and Zhang Xiaomo also had to arrange the spring plowing matters.
Lan An looked at the information of each village and learned that some villages might not have enough rice seeds. Lan An planned to take some out from the space and lend them to the villagers first, and then collect the money after the autumn harvest.
The county magistrate was also worried about the rice seed problem, and was relieved to learn that Lan An had a way to solve it. Zhang Xiaomo spent a day to arrange all the spring plowing matters. Lan An accompanied him the whole time, but he always slept in Zhang Xiaomo's arms.
Xue Ge'er did not disappoint Lan An. The jewelry shop was well managed and had designed several popular items. Lan An was originally curious about which shop produced such beautiful hairpins, but she didn't expect that it was from their own shop.
Lan An brought his people to the private room of the hot pot restaurant. The hot pot restaurant business was still so good, but the weather was getting hotter, and the hot pot could only be sold until April at the latest. Brother He was quite worried. He looked at Lan An with some conflicted eyes, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Brother He, just speak frankly."
"Little Boss, hot pot is not suitable for hot weather."
"I know. We can sell other things when it's hot. I'll go home and think about it and let you know when the time comes."
"I feel relieved with what the young boss said, but our wine shop business is not doing well."
"Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow."
While Lan An was talking to Brother He, Zhang Xiaomo started to check the account book. Brother Wu told him about the construction of the transportation terminal. The current dividends from the store were not enough, and the Ducheng Store had to wait for a letter from Brother Xia. This was a big project.
"An An, are you done talking?"
"Yeah, Brother Xiaomo, you have something on your mind."
"An An, I'm thinking about building a transportation dock."
"Are you worried about money? I have a solution."
Lan An directly told Zhang Xiaomo to open a bidding process and contract it out to the wealthy and powerful. Whoever bids the highest will get the land, and they will also be given the right to operate the dock for five years. Of course, the county government will be responsible for all customs clearance and travel documents during these five years, and all shops under it will have their taxes reduced by 10%.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaomo had an idea in mind and thought this method was feasible. He immediately wrote a letter to Brother Wu and couldn't help but hug Lan An in his arms.
"An An, how can you be so nice? I am so lucky to have you."
"Brother Xiaomo, I told you that you have something to tell me."
Brother Man and Brother Han are still in a cold war. It should be Brother Han who is unilaterally distancing himself from Brother Man. Brother Man has realized it, but he just doesn't know how to solve it. He has tried many times to chat with Brother Han in the middle of the night, but was locked out every time. Spring plowing is about to start, and Brother Han will be even busier. He wants to resolve the matter as soon as possible. He doesn't want to lose this good brother.
This time when he came to the county town, Man Da Ge consciously followed behind Han Da Ge. The two were not far away from each other. Han Da Ge was really angry with this stupid bear.
"What are you doing with me?"
"Xiaohan, did I make you angry?"
"No."
"You know, I'm a bit stupid. If I make you unhappy, you should tell me directly and don't be angry."
Brother Man didn't think too much, he stepped forward and pulled Brother Han's sleeve, coaxing him awkwardly.
"What are you doing? Pulling and tugging on the street."
"I...Xiaohan, don't be angry..."
"Why are you surrounding me? Are you not looking for a wife anymore?"
"What's this about finding a wife?"
"You're so stupid!"
Brother Man didn't know what he said wrong. Brother Han was so angry, so he decided to ask Brother He.
Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo came to the tavern the next day. Standing outside the door, Lan An only felt that the smell of wine was a bit pungent, without any aroma. He couldn't help but vomited at the door.
Zhang Xiaomo was also a little panicked, and hurriedly asked the shopkeeper to pour a cup of warm water for Lan An. The shopkeeper was also scared to death. If this little ancestor had any problems, he would be finished.
"Little Master, are you okay?"
"Shopkeeper, what kind of wine do we mainly sell in our wine shop?"
"Yellow wine and grape wine. The yellow wine is brewed by us, and the grape wine was brought from the capital by the master, and there is also some fruit wine."
"No liquor?"
"Young Master, there isn't enough food in the county. The extra food is used to dry the wine. The wine made from the poor quality food is not drinkable."
Lan Euan tried the wine in the wine shop. The rice wine was okay, just what we usually drink, with a mellow taste, not spicy, and low alcohol content. The wine was really hard to drink, and the other fruit wines were also hard to describe. It would be better to have a white wine with a higher purity.
The winter in Yunling County is cold, and every household likes to buy wine to survive the winter. It is understandable that this wine shop is not doing well. Anyone who buys this wine is a fool.
Lan An asked Zhang Xiaomo to bring some not-so-good grain from the county to dry for making wine. Manager Gui persuaded Lan An that the wine made from drying was really not drinkable. Lan An just asked him to dry it quickly, and he agreed. The young boss insisted on making such a fuss, and he had no choice but to hope that he would not vent his anger on him.
"An An, didn't your shopkeeper say no?"
"Now that it's air-dried, I just need to process it a little bit. It will definitely be a top-quality wine."
Zhang Xiaomo didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them went to other shops to have a look. They were pretty good. Lan'an went to a pottery kiln and customized some small ceramic jars to store wine.
"An An, is this a little small?"
"No, don't worry. The alcohol content is high, so this small jar will be fine. But I'll have to trouble Brother Xiaomo for the pattern on it."
"Painting on it?"
"Yes, painted bamboo, Bamboo Leaf Green, will be our tavern's signature drink from now on."
"An An likes bamboo very much?"
"Yeah, I like it very much. Brother Xiaomo looks a lot like bamboo."
"An An said I was a vixen not long ago."
This time I stayed in the county town for a few more days. I received two letters from Brother Wu, but I didn't see any from Brother Guo. Lan An was still a little worried about him.
Guo Ge'er and Song Hanzi are still in Anzhou. They have been arguing recently. Guo Ge'er proposed to return to Yunling County, and Song Hanzi, in a fit of anger, abandoned him in the inn.
Guo Ge'er gave the only silver leaf on him to the shopkeeper and asked him to help send a letter to Lan An. This time he did not deceive himself and admitted his mistake to Zhang Xiaomo and Lan An. He did not want to go to the border anymore and he wanted to return to Yunling County.
Zhang Xiaomo and Lan An stayed in the county town for another two days. They checked the account books of all the shops. The dividends originally given to Brother Wu were used for spring farming, said by Brother Wu.
After discussing with Zhang Xiaomo, Lan An decided to build water wheels in all the villages that did not have them. This way, there would be no need to worry about drought. After all, irrigation is very important if you want to increase grain production.
"Master Yang, this is three thousand taels. All villages in Yunling County that don't have waterwheels will have them installed within a month."
"Mr. Mo, this..."
"Do you have any comments?"
"No."
"Well, besides that, we're encouraging villagers to speed up village construction. I remember County Magistrate Wu made plans for each village. I want to see results in three months."
"Don't worry, Mr. Mo, I will speed up the supervision."
"Okay, write to me if you have anything. I will return to the village tomorrow."
"Ok."
After seeing off Zhang Xiaomo and Lan An, Master Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Discussing matters with the two of them was even more stressful than discussing matters with the county magistrate. In the next few months, everyone in the county government was kept busy.
"An An, everything has been discussed. When do you want to return to the village?"
"Tomorrow, I'll go to East Street to buy some fruit trees and then come back to the village."
"Okay, I'll listen to An An. You must be tired these days."
"Brother Xiaomo, I'm not tired. We need to go to Doctor Zhu to check his pulse before we leave."
"Okay, I'll listen to An An."
