Just like a lonely fishing boat on the riverside, someone will leave a light for her.
Just like in the wilderness of the mountains, there would be someone keeping a bonfire for her.
It's a pity that she is destined to run around non-stop for some uncertain things. How can she let others wait for her?
"I won't go back. I have to report today's events to my father."
Zhou Jingxian glanced enviously at Shen Youchu, who was hanging around Ning Wuyan.
She remembered what her father once said to her: The more you see, the more you will find that for many people and many things in this world, doing well is not as good as fate.
Thinking about it, if she had not rushed to the small island in the middle of the lake, she would have met Ning Wuyan earlier than Youchu.
Maybe such an astonishing genius would not be in Zhangjiazhuang at this time, but in Prince Kang's mansion.
Time is also luck.
Fortunately, she can still benefit from Youchu's success, and from now on she will have no shortage of food and drink and can help her father earn money.
Although Zhou Jingxian regrets her previous decision, she is also very content with the current situation.
Ning Wuhuang knew that Princess Xian was very busy and did not force her.
When he personally sent the person outside the gate of Zhuangzi, another bullock cart pulling saltpeter stopped.
The man driving the bullock cart was a man in his thirties with a Chinese character face and obvious burns on his forehead. When he saw that the scalpers of another bullock cart had been untied and were grazing nearby, he quickly explained.
"Princess, we were afraid that there wouldn't be enough in the city, so we went outside the city to collect two hundred kilograms of saltpeter. If we had known that there was enough in the city, we wouldn't have made this trip."
When Ning Wuhuang heard this, he thought of the shortage of saltpeter at this time of year.
But before he had used up all the one hundred kilograms of saltpeter in the morning, another two hundred kilograms came, and he sighed again: It's good to have a mine!
He also wanted to be as arrogant as Princess Xian.
"Mr.
Ning Wuhuang just happened to be too lazy to move the saltpeter around in the yard.
The saltpeter is reserved for making ice for eating.
The remaining two hundred kilograms can be used specifically to open the eyes of Boss Zhao.
Zhou Jingxian heard this and joked: "Now Mr. Ning has bought all the saltpeter from Father's Mine. Where they go and what they are used for is entirely up to you."
She greeted the man and asked him to follow Ning Wuyan's arrangements, then boarded the carriage and hurried to the city.
After Zhou Jingxian left, the man driving the bullock cart came forward.
Before he introduced himself, Yunfei came out with a bowl of ice cubes and looked at the man with a look of surprise on his face.
"Xiao Yunfei!"
"Uncle Zheng!"
The man stepped forward excitedly, put his right hand on Yunfei's shoulder, and patted it hard.
Seeing the other party's smooth greetings when an elder met a junior, Ning Wuyang guessed the other party's identity.
"Sir, Uncle Zheng and my father served in the army together. Later, he was injured and retired. When there was a disaster in my hometown, he even sent money to my family."
really.
Ning Wuyou cupped his fists and bowed.
"Hello, Mr. Ning, my name is Zheng Donglin. I am currently working as a handyman for Princess Xian. The stewards from other nearby counties will continue to send saltpeter. I will stay here to coordinate."
Such an important task as transporting saltpeter would not be left to an ordinary handyman.
In particular, Zheng Donglin's eagle eyes are very sharp, coupled with the tendon meat all over his body, he can still maintain such a figure after being discharged from the army. At a glance, he knows that he is not an ordinary soldier.
It seems that King Kang is not as weak as he thought. Even such a person can only be a small steward in the business field, and he has hoarded a lot of talents.
However, the entire Daxing had an officialdom atmosphere that valued literature over military affairs. Compared with the Jin Dynasty faction, which had many civil servants, it was indeed weak to recruit military generals.
"Manager Zheng is too modest. The sun is hot. Go inside and have a sip of tea."
Ning Wuyan saw through it but didn't say anything, and asked Zheng Donglin to come in and sit down.
He himself led the boys in the village to properly dispose of the newly arrived two hundred kilograms of saltpeter.
Prepare to give Boss Zhao a big surprise.
…
Yujiabao.
Boss Zhao didn't wake up until all the ice cubes placed in the room melted and he was sweating profusely from the midday heat.
Thinking of dreaming that he was being chased by fire and couldn't escape no matter what, he wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, looked at the water melting in the ice basin, and muttered depressedly.
"My cousin is too stingy. He makes ice at home, but he is not willing to use a few more yuan. He is really obsessed with money."
After he came back last night, he told his cousin about the bet with Ning Wushuang, and then chatted for a full hour and a half.
Analyze what kind of relationships or channels Ning Wuhuang can use to obtain ice sources that are half the price of ice cubes made by his cousin, or flowers that are half the price of his flower house.
Take a look at various conditions.
Totally impossible.
The two discussed again how to cooperate when they went to Zhangjiazhuang to cooperate with Ning Wushuang today so that the two families could make more money.
By the time I fell asleep, it was already midnight.
"Master, my cousin asked you to have a casual meal in the yard next door. After the meal, take a short rest and then get up and go to Zhangjiazhuang."
The words of the boy outside the door made Boss Zhao, who was still lying on the bed unwilling to move, hurriedly put his hands on the bed, put on his shoes and walked out.
He thought he was the only one who couldn't keep calm.
It turns out that my cousin is also anxious to make money.
"Master, coat..."
"What kind of coat should I wear on a hot day? I almost lost a few pounds due to the heat last night because of my fat body."
Boss Zhao complained.
When I entered the yard next door and found that there was no ice basin here, my voice was obviously much softer.
Although there were no female relatives at the dinner table, he still took the coat from the servant and put it on.
Yu Bingchuan smiled apologetically: "The supply of ice cubes is tight this year, so I have to save some to send to Ning Wuchang. I won't use it if I can't use it. I hope you will take care of me, cousin."
"Haha, cousin, what are you talking about? It's not easy to use ice here. When you make a lot of money this time, cousin, you can use the money you earned this winter to dig two more ice cellars next year. It’s enough for home use.”
The two thought about the bright future, looked at each other and laughed.
After we were full of wine and food, we talked for half an hour about how to use more words and tricks to get Ning Wuhuang to increase the price.
When the sun turned west from due south, the two of them couldn't wait to take the contract document they had drawn up.
Riding a carriage, we headed towards Zhangjiazhuang.
When we passed Hanshan Temple, we could clearly feel that it was hotter near Zhangjiazhuang than at Yujiabao.
Because Boss Zhao was fat and ate too much, he was sweating profusely from the heat in a short time.
I was about to ask the boy to take out the cattail leaf fan and fan himself.
Suddenly, a cool mountain breeze blew over, making him feel like he had stepped from the dog days of summer into the cool and pleasant autumn.
And this cool feeling was very familiar. Boss Zhao narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and praised with a smile: "My cousin is so generous. He also knows how to put a basin of ice on the carriage to keep cool."
It was only when they arrived in front of the mountain land that Ning Wuchang bought that they took it out for use.
Really stingy.
Boss Zhao was sarcastic in his heart, but he heard Yu Bingchuan ask in surprise: "Didn't my cousin secretly hide ice in the car?"
Yu Bingchuan was not willing to use ice cubes to keep cool even when it was hot at noon. He sat on the carriage and took a ride. Seeing that he was approaching Zhangjiazhuang, he was so worried that he was burning too much ice, so he used ice cubes at this time. Cool with ice cubes.
"Cousin, are you kidding me?"
"I have nothing to do to make a joke like this with you. I really didn't put ice in the car."
The two brothers had an argument.
The cool feeling became stronger and stronger, and the boy leaning against the car window shivered.
The two suddenly realized that the source of the cold air was not in the carriage.
They hurriedly opened the bamboo curtains on the car windows to block the scorching sun and poked their heads outside.
Then I saw a scene that I will never forget in this life.
So arrogant!
How arrogant!
So damn arrogant!
