After farming, I opened a family tree

This month, Tangji Soap Shop sold nearly a thousand bars of soap, half of which were premium soaps and half were ordinary soaps.

As usual, Shen Tang took the share for that month and counted the days in his mind. The profits from other partners should be delivered in the next two days.

Because Shen Tang and his friends arrived late, all the seats by the river had been reserved.

Fortunately, Shen Dashan, Liu and others arrived early and had already occupied a position on the bridge.

At noon, the county magistrate, dressed in green official uniform, came to the platform set up by the river in a sedan chair with the yamen runners clearing the way.

Just like in later generations, the leader’s speech had a very familiar flavor.

With the sound of a loud gong on the stage, the dragon boat on the river glided away.

The dragon boat teams all came from Qingshan Town and other wealthy and prominent families in its surrounding areas, and the riverside was crowded with people.

The dragon boats were decorated with the family crests of various major families, including the He family, which Shen Tang was familiar with.

There are many vendors on the street, selling five-colored thread lucky bags, mugwort and realgar wine.

Shen Tang stood beside Liu and couldn't help but sigh that from ancient times to the present, festivals are indeed the best time for sales.

Shen Dashan lifted Qin Yan high above his head, and Shen Qingqing couldn't help but snort:

"Brother, you're spoiling him too much. How can a child be like this?"

As she spoke, Shen Qingqing reached out to pick Qin Yan up.

Shen Dashan turned around and said, "We came here today just to watch the dragon boat race. Ayan wants to watch it, so how can I, as his uncle, not let him see it?"

Liu took Shen Qingqing's hand and said jokingly:

"You, just let Dashan take Ayan with him. The relationship between them is better than that between you as a mother!"

Qin Wanwan took Shen Tang's arm and acted coquettishly:

"Sister, I'm best with you! Better than with mom!"

Shen Qingqing tapped Qin Wanwan's forehead and pretended to be angry:

"Okay, okay, just be with your sister forever!"

"Then mother, I am second best to you!"

Qin Wanwan's words made everyone laugh, and Shen Qingqing's emotions disappeared invisibly.

Shen Qingqing originally thought that there would be people who would criticize her for returning home with her divorced woman and living in her eldest brother's house with her two children. However, during this period of time in Shenjia Village, everyone who saw her would greet her warmly.

She is not a stupid person. The attitude of the people in Shenjia Village is simply because their niece is capable.

Looking at his daughter leaning on Shen Tang with a sweet smile on her face, he suddenly felt that his decision to return home was the right one.

Perhaps because he saw the real dragon boat race, Shen Tang lost interest.

Firstly, it was because they were far away, and secondly, she had seen even greater prosperity in later generations, so she found these things a bit boring now.

The Qin siblings, Liu and others were very happy. After all, it was their first time in many years to come to the town to watch the dragon boat race.

The one that finally came out on top was the Zhang family, a family that had been making wine for generations in Qingshan Town.

The county magistrate personally presented the award to the Zhang family, and the head of the Zhang family couldn't stop smiling.

He directly threatened that if you go to Zhang's house to buy wine today, you can get a 10% discount on the price.

Now the atmosphere was as lively and joyful on and off the field, and many people actually went to Zhang's wine shop to buy wine.

No wonder all the big families want to participate in the dragon boat race. Isn’t this the advertising effect?

Since he was in the city, Shen Tang made plans to eat in the town.

"Hiss! This is too expensive! A plate of vegetables costs twenty-eight coins!"

When Liu heard the price of the vegetables, she couldn't help but click her tongue. The market price of these vegetables was only two cents, and the highest would not exceed three cents. However, the price in this restaurant had increased tenfold.

"Little Brother, could you please serve some of the restaurant's signature dishes?"

Shen Tang spoke with a smile.

Now that you're out, just have fun. Now that you can make money, there's no need to feel bad about it.

"Mother, look at the restaurant. The monthly salary of the young owner, the cost of building the restaurant, and the chef and maid. Everything we see costs money."

Twenty-eight cents for a plate of vegetables seemed normal to Shen Tang.

After all, in later generations, it was rumored online that the Demonic City had an independent currency system, and a plate of vegetables cost hundreds of yuan.

The waiter responded quickly, but there were many people today, so the food was served slowly.

Liu and Shen Qingqing decided to go to the cloth shop in the afternoon.

The weather is getting hot, so not only do families need to make cool clothes, but workshops also need to distribute them.

Shen Tang nodded.

"Thank you for your help, mother and aunt. I will have to trouble you to make clothes for me when the time comes."

Shen Qingqing waved her hand and said frankly that this was not a difficult task.

The meal cost three taels of silver. Liu felt so distressed that she finished the meal immediately.

I secretly thought that I would never eat in town again.

Shen Qingqing nodded. Three taels of silver, if saved, can last a year!

After dinner, they split up as usual, and Shen Tang took Qin Wanwan to a bookstore.

The original collection of poems was entrusted to a bookstore in town called Wen Yaxuan to help print. A few days ago, they sent me news that it had been printed. I happened to be in town today, so I went to take a look.

The bookstore owner saw Shen Tang coming and greeted him with a smile.

"These are the 1,000 poetry collections you requested, Boss Shen."

Shen Tang immediately picked one, the poetry collection was printed very clearly.

The printing technology of the Great Qi Dynasty was already very advanced, so it was common for children from farming families to go to school. However, most farmers could not afford the tuition.

"Thank you, boss. The collection of poems is printed very well."

Shen Tang nodded and paid the balance.

An ordinary 50-page book on the market costs five taels of silver. If it is the Four Books and Five Classics, the price will be eight to ten taels of silver. If it is printed in a small quantity, the price will be even higher. Those rare copies are even more valuable.

The scholars of the Great Qi Dynasty valued integrity the most. Therefore, no matter how good Shen Tang's poetry collection was, it would not be published privately without Shen Tang's permission. At most, it would be copied at home.

Shen Tang had to send the one thousand copies printed this time to the county magistrate, and the people in the bookstore did not dare to keep any copies for themselves.

"It's like this, Boss Shen. Our boss asked me to ask you if you could give him a copy of this poetry collection. He also wants to collect one."

The bookstore owner hesitated and spoke.

"Of course. Our boss said he's willing to pay a high price for a copy of this poetry collection."

The bookstore owner hurriedly added.

Shen Tang didn't really value these poetry collections. He just promised the county magistrate in court that he would give him these thousand copies, so he had to do it.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Tang looked up and asked,

"Is your boss free today? I have a business deal I'd like to cooperate with him on."

In any case, Shen Tang had already left a very good impression on the bookstore that had first asked for the opinion of the owner of the poetry collection and had not privately published and preserved it, so that was why Shen Tang thought of asking.

"Yes, yes, our boss just came back from watching the dragon boat race and is at home now. I'll send someone to invite him right away!"

The bookstore owner responded quickly.

Nowadays, everyone in Qingshan Town knows about soap. If you know about soap, you must know Tangji.

What's more, this young girl in front of him had been to court a month ago.
