Xiao Yichen nodded, "The purchase is almost the same. The only difference is whether the iron stone should be sold from a merchant or purchased by oneself."
Shen Nanbao blinked his big eyes, "Tie Shi, let's go shopping...what kind of store are you planning to open?"
Speaking of which, ever since Xiao Yichen said that he wanted to buy a shop, she had not asked about it because of the affairs in the house and Wang Po's incident. It was not until Xiao Yichen mentioned it now that she thought of asking.
Xiao Yichen picked up a piece of tea and sat down. Seeing this, Shen Nanbao held up his sleeves and went to give him some tea.
The sound of gurgling water echoed from Xiao Yichen's throat, "A blacksmith shop and a rice shop."
The hand holding the tea paused for a moment, and it was okay that the rice shop was empty. After all, food was the most important thing for the people, not to mention that Daxuan was at war with the Chena tribe, and there was bound to be a famine. There was no need to worry about the rice being left unused and causing insects.
As for the iron shop...
Shen Nanbao pushed the cup to Xiao Yichen, and the sparkling water covered her eyebrows with doubts, "Why did you suddenly think of opening a blacksmith shop?"
Xiao Yichen's hand holding the cup paused for a moment, and his smiling eyes appeared on the side of the cup, "It's not that I think I only know this."
Shen Nanbao glanced at him, "How can you do this? In Gyeonggi, don't you have many shops and farms?"
The eyes that rippled out of the cup were closed, and the thick eyelashes seemed to be hanging down into the eyes. He gave himself a sip of water, and then replied: "At that time in Gyeonggi, I was the commander, If I had such a blacksmith shop, I would have to ask someone to play a book and accuse me of making weapons privately. Now, no one cares about me, and I can do what I want."
High-ranking people have the helplessness of high-ranking people, and common people also have the freedom of common people.
This can be regarded as a blessing and a misfortune, so Shen Nanbao changed the topic, "Then do you spend most of your time in the blacksmith shop or the rice shop?"
Xiao Yichen put down his cup, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
This question is actually well-founded.
Although Shen Nanbao has never been to a blacksmith shop, he has heard that strong men go into battle with bare arms, holding pliers in one hand and a hammer in the other, standing in front of the iron pier, and knocking again and again.
Just imagine Xiao Yichen, wearing the face of a white-faced scholar, doing such a thing...
No matter how you think about it, it feels spicy and exciting.
Shen Nanbao had to go and see it to open his eyes.
However, you can't say such things, because if you say them, you won't be able to see them, so Shen Nanbao put on a peaceful smile and said, "Look, you stay out all day long. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat well. I know where you can stay." Soon, I’ll come over and deliver food.”
Xiao Yichen did not doubt that he was there, but felt that his wife was particularly good at ironing people, and immediately his smile disappeared, "I will stay at the blacksmith shop for a longer time. As long as the rice shop has found the waiter and the accountant, we can do it every now and then." Just go and check a pair of accounts. As for the blacksmith shop, the object requires a certain set of skills. If there is a slight difference, it will be lost a thousand miles. I have to keep a close eye on it to make sure there is no mistake, otherwise the result will be a pile of scrap metal. .”
With these words, Shen Nanbao asked the kitchen to prepare rice the next day, such as squid, three-color tripe soup...all are cuisines from the Gyeonggi region.
When Fengyue served Shen Nanbao's meal, she kept raising her thumbs up, "My father-in-law must be very happy to see it."
Shen Nanbao laughed at her, "You know it again."
Fengyue said: "We come from Gongzhou, and most of the food we eat here is spicy. Although my father-in-law doesn't say anything on weekdays, I noticed that the amount he eats is much less than before."
People are accustomed to the taste of one place, and occasionally try the taste of other places. That is a taste of new things, but if you eat it for a long time, you will never be able to stand it no matter how delicious it is.
Just like that, Shen Nanbao carried a tired basket of food boxes to the blacksmith shop in the west of the city.
From the outside, the blacksmith's shop looks no different from ordinary ones. There is a move on the outside, and the curtain is lowered on the open door. Looking in from the bright outside, you can only see the raging flames in the dim world.
Most of the shops in the west part of the city are like this, and they are either brokers or strong men. It is rare for a woman as delicate as Shen Nanbao to appear.
So almost as soon as he arrived, he attracted everyone's attention.
Shen Nanbao was born beautiful. In the past, she only felt as delicate and soft as a flower. Perhaps after being baptized as a woman, she was enveloped in a peaceful atmosphere, and she became more and more stable as a matron.
Shen Nanbao was curious about how Xiao Yichen did his job, so he planned to sneak in quietly at first.
As a result, unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in front of the shop, Xiao Yichen picked out the curtain and came out.
There was no nakedness or bare arms as imagined, only an inconspicuous off-white cross-collar tunic with the cuffs rolled up high, revealing strong lines and porcelain-like skin, with a face that was touched by the charcoal fire. It had been rolled and beaten, and some of it was stained with dust.
Although the beautiful jade is covered with dust, it does not affect the overall temperament at all.
Shen Nanbao took one look and smiled: "I'm just here to bring you a meal. Why are you so solemn? You're even wearing clothes to receive me."
In line with these words, Xiao Yichen didn't know what she meant, and immediately smiled, "What are you thinking? I'm just watching them smelting iron, and I don't go into battle on my own."
He leaned slightly and leaned into Shen Nanbao's ear, "Why? Haven't you seen enough on weekdays?"
This person...when did he learn such eloquent words? Shen Nanbao suddenly became excited, and the shyness after being exposed by others disappeared in an instant. He just glanced at him and said: "Why don't you say you You opened a blacksmith shop, and I thought you opened a sesame oil shop. Listen to what you said, you can scrape off two ounces of oil. Who are you planning to kill?"
Xiao Yichen choked and stood in the wind outlet, like a dried sausage, but he was fighting fiercely in his heart: Aren't those people all talking sweetly to their daughter-in-law like this? Why did these words happen to them? It becomes oil.
Shen Nanbao, as for Shen Nanbao, didn't care what he thought, he just kept telling him to come in with his mouth open, "If you keep standing in the wind like this, the food will almost get cold."
With that said, he lowered the curtain and walked inside.
Xiao Yichen came to his senses at this time and hurriedly grabbed her arm, "There are all red men in there. If you are not shy, are you not afraid of needle holes?"
Shen Nanbao sucked his lips and argued, "This is your territory. It's fine if you don't lead the way. You blame me for going on a rampage."
After all, no matter how many thorns a daughter-in-law has on her body, she has to be pampered and coaxed, otherwise she will still be the one to suffer in the future, so Xiao Yichen also worked hard and led her into the backyard through the corner door.
In front is the crisp sound of iron colliding with iron, and behind is the sound of drooping spring water, which makes people feel sleepy.
However, it was quite quiet inside, and incense was set up, and the warm smoke flowed, dispersing a bit of the gloom.
Just as Fengyue said, Shen Nanbao opened the food box and piled the dishes in front of Xiao Yichen. He was like a hungry wolf who had been eating for a long time and suddenly saw a meaty hungry wolf, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
As soon as Shen Nanbao sat down, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this, "If you want to eat, just tell me, I'll cook it in the kitchen. If you look like this, if your guys see it, they'll think I'm the king at home." . ”
Yi Bi'er said, and Yi Bi'er took out chopsticks from the food box and handed them to Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen took it and said, "As long as you have your heart in everything you order, how can I dare to pick it again? Isn't this a waste of your thoughts?"
Most men in the world rely on themselves to control the income of the family, so they think that it is natural for their wives to serve them. Therefore, as long as their wives do not take good care of them, they will beat and scold them in the smallest case, and divorce their wives in the worst cases. They have never thought that the family must It is run by two people, you have your contribution, and I have my hard work.
Xiao Yichen is different. Mostly because of his childhood experiences, he has been able to stand from the perspective of women and think about their difficulties for them. Although he occasionally speaks a little more straightforwardly, it is better than those who are full of sugary syrup. The young man has more real warmth.
And real life is about these realities being built up bit by bit.
As if to confirm this, a pair of chopsticks appeared in his sight. They were the ones Xiao Yichen had just washed with tea and said, "You can use these because your stomach is not good and you won't get dirty."
Before Shen Nanbao had time to speak, there was a sound outside the door, "Customer, the second boss is here and said he wants to see you for something."
Xiao Yichen said he understood, and asked the waiter to leave first, and then went over after eating by himself.
Although Shen Nanbao was wondering why this shop still had a second owner, since he was already here, there was no reason to keep people waiting, so Shen Nanbao said: "You go first, I will wait for you here."
Xiao Yichen put down his chopsticks and said, "Don't wait for me. Eat first when you are hungry."
Seeing Shen Nanbao nod, Xiao Yichen pinched her chin with his big hand, and then walked out of the door.
As for Shen Nanbao, he didn't have much appetite. He was afraid that the food would be cold when Xiao Yichen came back, so he called the waiter and asked if there was a stove here.
The waiter smiled helplessly and said, "Madam, we have plenty of stoves, but they are only used for smelting. They are not very useful for heating meals."
Shen Nanbao was not picky and asked if they had any abandoned stoves.
This question is indeed true. It was in the backyard. The waiter immediately led people over. He also brought a basket of charcoal very excitedly. He lit the charcoal with a fire starter and used a copper fire chopstick to hold the lit charcoal to bake in the stove. , and when it is dry, I can safely pick out the charcoal and put it into the furnace.
In an instant, the charcoal fire crackled and ignited, like a squib set off during the New Year.
Hearing this, Shen Nanbao asked the waiter on the other side, "Who is the second owner of our shop?"
The waiter was a little surprised, "Madam, you don't know?"
The flames quietly heated up Shen Nanbao's bright face, and his smile was calm and generous in the flickering light. "I usually don't ask much, but I just heard someone say it, so I got curious and wanted to ask."
This matter was not a secret in the first place, so the waiter didn't think much about it and said, "We don't know the details. We only know that his surname is Chen."
List.
Chen Fangyan? !
