Wangjiazhuang, Wanfu Oil Shop.
On the street, Dapandun's carriage was parked at the entrance of Wanfu Youfang. Miao Shao, Xu Ming and four Dunjun soldiers were standing or sitting together, making jokes and making jokes. It was very lively.
The three cattle were tied behind the cart. They were looking for something to eat on the ground, but they found that there was nothing to eat except dust. So the three cattle kept making bursts of noise. The cattle brayed as if they were venting their dissatisfaction.
At this time, Liu Yan walked into Wanfu Oil Shop alone and saw many people buying oil in the oil shop. Just as he was about to stop the waiter to ask, he met Wang Jing, the shopkeeper.
"Oh, isn't this our benefactor Mr. Liu Qi!"
As soon as Wang Jing saw Liu Yan, he smiled and greeted him. He happily pulled Liu Yan inside and said with a smile: "Please come in quickly, my benefactor. I must treat my benefactor well today!"
Liu Yan said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wang is too polite. From now on, you don't need to call me benefactor or benefactor. Just call me Mr. Liu Qi."
"That won't work. If my benefactor hadn't acted righteously that day, my small oil shop would have been occupied by the Xu family. My daughter and I don't know what to do. How could there be such a good business today!"
Liu Yan then asked: "Is Mr. Xu coming to cause trouble again recently?"
"That's not true. The Xu family has been quiet recently. It's probably because Mr. Xu knows the power of his benefactor and doesn't want to come here to cause trouble anymore. This is also because of his kindness. But in this market, the Xu family's Even if it is normal for people to buy and sell by force, bully and dominate the market, everyone is used to it."
Liu Yan nodded, keeping it in mind, and secretly thought that Mr. Xu was not a reckless person.
Then Wang Jing warmly greeted Liu Yan to the tea room behind the shop front, and said loudly: "Yun'er, Yun'er! The benefactor is here, why don't you serve tea quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yunhe opened the door and came in with a look of surprise. When he saw Liu Yan and Wang Jing pushing each other to sit down, his face instantly turned red, and he said with a smile: "Okay! I'll go right away. , please benefactor to wait a moment."
Liu Yan said thank you, then sat down and chatted with Wang Jing.
Soon, Wang Yunhe came in with two cups of hot tea, and when he handed Liu Yan the cup, Wang Yunhe noticed that Liu Yan's cheeks and hands were very rough, and some places had been cracked by the cold wind, and he couldn't help but frown slightly. , there was a hint of distress in his eyes.
Wang Yunhe didn't say anything, and went out for a while with the tea tray, then came in with a small box of ointment, handed it to Liu Yan with a shy face, and said: "This is a little girl's thought, this ointment It is made by Xiaoxiao himself. It is not sold to outsiders on weekdays. It is just kept at home for use. This ointment can be used to prevent wind and skin care. It is very easy to use. Please accept it for your own use. "
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed Wang Yunhe's slightly shy expression, and he understood it in his heart, so he smiled at his subordinates and said, "Miss Wang is so thoughtful, Liu Yan thanks you!"
Wang Jing on the side looked at the expressions of the two people thoughtfully, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said secretly: "This girl is really discerning. General Liu Qi is handsome and can be regarded as a reliable backer. If this matter is true, If it’s done, I can rest assured!”
Seeing Liu Yan accept the ointment, Wang Yunhe's face turned even redder, he lowered his head and smiled, turned around and ran out, leaving Liu Yan feeling a little embarrassed, sitting on the chair and smiling.
Wang Jing said with a smile: "Drink tea, my benefactor."
Liu Yan took a sip of tea and then got ready to get down to business. Liu Yan is planning to place an additional order with Wang Jing this time. The soap production this month will be greatly increased, but Wang Wenzhen has already sent people to urge him twice. Wang Wenzhen has always been very concerned about making money.
Of course, Liu Yan also wants to increase production as much as possible, so that he can accumulate funds in the shortest time and continue to expand his industry and strength. In the foreseeable future, the output of his soap workshop will definitely continue to increase, and the purchase of soybean oil will also continue to increase. This time it is just mentioned at the same time, so that Wang Jing can be prepared to avoid delaying the soap production. The cost of the workshop.
Faced with Liu Yan's request, Wang Jing naturally smiled and agreed, and reassured Liu Yan that his Wanfu Oil Shop would definitely not delay things.
Then Wang Jing said again: "Haha, my benefactor works hard in Dapandun on weekdays. My wife must be quite virtuous, so my benefactor can be so comfortable, right?"
Liu Yan laughed loudly and said loudly: "Shopkeeper Wang is joking. I, Liu Yan, am alone. I haven't got a wife yet."
"Oh, I see."
At this moment, Liu Yan suddenly heard some movement outside the tea room, and thought it was a mouse or something. Liu Yan didn't know that Wang Yunhe was snooping outside the door at this time. When he heard that Liu Yan was not married yet, he immediately smiled and then ran away happily with careful thoughts.
At the same time, Wang Jing also looked happy. It seemed that the matter between his daughter and Liu Yan was indeed settled, and then asked: "Is your father-in-law, your benefactor, in good health? Thanks to my benefactor's help, I am still thinking of looking for an opportunity. Went to visit.”
Liu Yan shook his head and said, "My parents are gone, and now I am alone."
It’s a joke. Since Liu Yan came to this era, only God knows where Liu Yan’s parents are. Liu Yan naturally said so.
"That's right. It's my fault, it's my fault."
Then Liu Yan saw that Wang Jing wanted to continue to inquire, so he stopped him directly and said: "Shopkeeper Wang, I came to visit today because I want to place an additional order for soybean oil. Now I have a huge demand for soybean oil. The monthly supply of three to forty pounds is no longer enough.”
Wang Jing suddenly became energetic. This was a big business, so he hurriedly asked with a smile: "Okay, no problem. Although my small oil shop is not as big as the Xu family's, the output is also very considerable. The key is good quality. . I just don’t know how much more the benefactor needs.”
Liu Yan said with a smile: "Just add another 60 kilograms. From now on, I will receive 100 kilograms of soybean oil directly at the beginning of every month."
Wang Jing was overjoyed and said: "Okay, thank you for taking care of the small business. I will leave the best soybean oil to my benefactor, and I will ensure the quality and quantity. There will be no problem with the one hundred kilograms per month. Just rest assured." "
Liu Yan smiled and said: "We are also old acquaintances. No matter how benefactor or benefactor the shopkeeper is, we will be alienated. By the way, starting from this month, I will send someone over to place orders at the end of every month. Basically, it should be If it weighs more than 100 kilograms, I will greet Shopkeeper Wang in advance."
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say."
After Liu Yan made an agreement with Wang Jing, he left six taels of silver, which was considered as money for additional orders this month. Then he handed it over and said, "Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Then Liu Yan put the box of ointment in his arms and said with a smile: "Also, shopkeeper Lao Wang, please thank Miss Wang again for me. I understand what Miss Wang means, and I understand it!"
Wang Jing's mouth suddenly split open, and he said with a smile: "Haha, it was my daughter who was abrupt. My benefactor, oh, Mr. Liu, just don't blame me."
"Oh, by the way. If this ointment is easy to use, Mr. Liu Qi will send someone to say hello, and I will ask my daughter to prepare more. Now that things are dry, Mr. Liu Qi is a person who can't stay idle, so he must have some. Be careful."
Liu Yan smiled and thanked him, and then left the Wanfu Oil Shop. Wang Jing also sent it out. Wang Jing also loudly greeted a few waiters and loaded the sixty kilograms of soybean oil ordered by Liu Yan on the oxcart. Dun Jun also stepped forward to help and fixed the oil jar with hemp rope.
At this time, Wang Jing saw the farm tools and other items on the bullock cart, as well as the three cattle tied to the back of the bullock cart. He also showed a surprised expression on his face and said, "Mr. Liu Qi, this is..."
Liu Yan said with a smile: "I have asked the leader of the team to recruit people for farming in Dapan Dun. These are what I received from Shangguan today."
Wang Jing was even more surprised now. No one wanted to get involved in farming matters. It was a thankless task. He didn't expect Liu Yan to take the initiative to ask for farming.
Liu Yan saw Wang Jing's expression and naturally understood what Wang Jing was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Haha, shopkeeper Wang doesn't know something. If this farming matter is done well, it will benefit the country and the people, and it will also benefit himself." A great thing!"
"Haha, yes, yes, Mr. Liu Qi has a lot of experience. This farming thing is naturally a good thing. With Mr. Liu's ability, he can definitely do it successfully."
Liu Yan laughed, then cupped his hands and said, "Okay, Shopkeeper Wang is leaving."
"Haha, Mr. Liu, walk slowly."
Liu Yan and others drove the bullock cart and three cattle back to Dapan Dun.
After leaving Wangjiazhuang, it was almost dusk. One Dunjun was driving an ox cart, and the other three Dunjun were driving three oxen behind. Liu Yan, Miao Shao, and Xu Ming were swaying on the bullock cart, looking at the sunset in front of them, with a smile on their faces: There was an unexpected harvest today!
The quantity of supplies received this time was far from Liu Yan's expectation, but Liu Yan was somewhat satisfied while sitting on the bullock cart, looking at the three cattle following him, as well as some farm tools and soybean oil on the bullock cart. Feeling, this can be regarded as accumulating some strength.
"This is what I have gained here. I don't know how much supplies Chen Xun can buy back. Let's wait and see."
Liu Yan was thinking in his mind, and then he said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, please work harder. After we go back, we will add more dishes tonight and everyone will have a good meal!"
"Okay! Commander A is mighty."
"Everyone, let's go quickly. There will be meat to eat when we get back."
The crowd immediately cheered and there was a burst of excitement. Although the oxcart was slow, it kept going all the way and soon arrived at the gate of Dapandun.
Liu Yan jumped off the bullock cart and saw that the military households were busy with their own affairs, either continuing to build nests, cleaning up various debris, or helping Dun Jun lookout. There were also children chasing and running happily among the crowd. Although everyone was still poor, they were thriving. Liu Yan felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time.
"Maybe this is the reason for struggle. Here is a glimmer of light in the dark world!"
Thinking of this, Liu Yan smiled and called everyone to come over to unload the truck. Wang Yue was the first to run over. He was busy and attentive, directing everyone to unload and move the truck.
Liu Yan entered the pier and looked around, but there was no sign of Chen Xun, so he called Wang Yue and asked, "Aren't Chen Xiaoqi and the others back yet?"
Wang Yue said with a smile: "How can it be so fast? Commander Jia forgot, the road to Lingshan Guard is quite far, and it will take a day just to go there."
Liu Yan nodded, and then saw the three cattle brought in, so he said to Wang Yue: "The cattle pen in the pier is too small. Tomorrow you will take people to dismantle the cattle pen in the pier and look for it outside." Build a new cattle pen somewhere."
Wang Yue patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Commander. I will take people to do it early tomorrow morning. I will bring in three cattle tonight."
"Okay, remember to add some fodder to the cattle at night."
At this moment, Liu Yan saw several knights rushing towards this side. When he got closer, he saw that it was Jia Hongyu.
"It looks like something happened!"
