In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 82: Salted Fish Becomes a Dog

It was another busy day. Chen Ruotong was a little mad. She couldn't hold herself back. She pinched herself and said, "Remember this, remember this. Isn't it good to enjoy life?" She had to find something to do. Oh!

Chen Ruotong told her family that she had bought the farm next door, and everyone was naturally very happy.

Old man Chen couldn't stop laughing, "My grandson is really capable. Now I have really become the landlord Chen, a true landlord, hahahaha..."

Old Lady Chen rolled her eyes at Old Man Chen and said, "Look how arrogant you are. Be more restrained. Be more restrained. Don't let a poor person get a nugget of gold and walk around with it, or carry it around, and make people laugh at you..."

Old Man Chen said, "Isn't it enough for me to be happy? I have to be proud. The new farm has 600 acres of fertile land. It's huge! After they finish harvesting in a few days, Jianshu will take a few people to tidy up the land so that we can plant the new grain seeds that my grandson mentioned in the spring of next year. Hehehe..."

Old lady Chen's witty remarks made the whole family laugh. Such a warm family atmosphere made Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien feel warm and happy!

Chen Ruotong asked the farm manager to pick the harvested beans, cabbage, radish, spinach, coriander, etc. and put them in piles according to their types.

At night, Qiao Zien drove a horse-drawn carriage in and out of the farm several times. Even if the vegetables were transported out of the farm, they were actually put into Chen Ruotong's vegetable section. People who had worked all day rested early, so how could they have time to pay attention to where Chen Ruotong transported the vegetables?

The vegetable area in Chen Ruotong's space is already filled with all kinds of vegetables, enough to last the entire winter. She doesn't plan to sell them, but to keep them for her own consumption or to give to friends.

We have vegetables, hot pot base, and dipping sauce. It’s such a wonderful thing for the whole family to eat hot pot at home in winter!

There were also a lot of chicken, duck and goose eggs from the farm placed in the space.

They stayed at the manor at night. Chen Ruotong entered the space and prepared all kinds of hot pot bases and dipping sauces in the seasoning area. Tomorrow, Zhou Qian would have to deliver a batch of goods to Wangchun Tower.

The purpose is not to make money, but to buy the farm and promote the hot pot soup base. In the future, after the peppers and tomatoes are successfully grown, she will start a hot pot soup base business. By then, everyone knows how delicious the soup base is, and it will sell well without any promotion.

During Qiao Zien's five-day vacation, the two stayed on the farm and did a lot of things, and gained a lot!

The two returned to the Chen residence, Qiao Zien started his study journey again, and Chen Ruotong went to Zhenpin Pavilion and Huicui Building to help out.

She is like a brick, moved wherever she is needed; she is like a small spinning top, spinning non-stop every day. She seems to have gotten used to this busy life, and only occasionally remembers her original intention. She wanted to be a salted fish, but ended up being exhausted like a dog!

After Chen Ruotong returned to Zhenpin Pavilion, she launched a new product - lipstick. She tore off the outer packaging and put all kinds of rectangular, cylindrical lipsticks and colors directly on the display cabinet.

The merchants were very curious about this lip balm. Not only were there a variety of colors, but the design of the lipstick, which could be opened and rotated into a cylindrical shape, was very unique and ingenious, and it was the only one of its kind in the Daliang Dynasty.

So there was a craze for buying lipsticks. Winter was coming and the air was getting dry. So women put on some lipstick to keep their lips moist and beautiful. Therefore, everyone rushed to buy it. Although the price was a bit expensive, ranging from ten to twenty taels, it did not stop women from loving beauty.

The men were not to be outdone and scrambled to buy the colorless but scented lip balm, which fulfilled the young men's desire to have sex.

Then we launched a new hand cream, priced at ten taels per bottle, which was also in short supply.

Chen Erjiang and Zhang Yishun were busy in the store. At this time, Manager He led a beautiful girl into Zhenpin Pavilion.

Chen Erjiang hurried over and said, "Manager He, you have worked hard on the journey. Please take a seat!"

Chen Erjiang led Manager He and the woman to the reception room and poured them tea.

Shopkeeper He said, "Mr. Chen, do you have new products in your store? I came at the perfect time! Come, let me introduce you to my second daughter, He Xiaolian."

He Xiaolian bowed gently and then sat down next to Manager He.

Chen Erjiang returned the gift generously, and then talked business with Manager He. He Xiaolian listened carefully to their conversation.

Chen Ruotong saw this scene from the side and understood that Manager He was bringing his daughter to see Chen Erjiang.

It seems that the second brother's marriage has been settled, so the eldest brother is left. What kind of person should the eldest brother find? Will he find a landlord's daughter? We'll see what fate brings us! After the New Year, the eldest brother will be 19 years old. If he doesn't get married, he will be anxious!

After Shopkeeper He and Chen Erjiang agreed on the purchase quantity, they loaded the goods onto the car and then brought his daughter to Chen Ruotong.

Chen Ruotong only saw He Xiaolian's appearance at this time. She was dignified and elegant. One could tell at a glance that she had the temperament of being raised in wealth. Compared with Zhang Ruixi, she was slightly inferior in appearance, but her temperament was not inferior to Zhang Ruixi. He Xiaolian gave people a good first impression. Chen Ruotong liked her, but she didn't know what her second brother thought.

Manager He explained his purpose to Chen Ruotong and asked her to ask Chen Erjiang's opinion and get a reply in two days, then he drove away in his carriage.

Chen Erjiang was a smart man. He had already understood what Manager He meant, and then asked, "Fourth brother, what do you think of Miss He?"

Chen Ruotong blinked and smiled, "It doesn't matter what I think. The key is what Second Brother thinks. Miss He is pretty, but I don't know what her personality is like."

Chen Erjiang said: "In terms of family background and appearance, Miss He is more than qualified for our family. I think Miss He is okay. We have to talk to our grandparents. We can't make the decision on this matter!"

"Yes, I will ask Feng Liangyu to come to the farm and tell the family about this. Then, I will ask Feng Liangyu to go to Chaoyang City and find out what kind of person Miss He is."

"Fourth brother is right. This way we can know what's going on."

That night, Feng Liangyu brought back a message from the farm that Old Man Chen also wanted to get to know the situation first before making a decision, and if it was suitable, he would propose marriage.

Chen Ruotong also hopes that good things will happen. If her brothers get married, she will have completed her mission.

She felt like an old nanny who had to worry about the marriages of several children. Her life was full of worries!

At the same time, Feng Liangyu brought another piece of news. He found Wan Baocai riding a horse back from the north gate.

Therefore, Chen Ruotong concluded that Wan Baocai must have gone to the capital to meet the regent. The two of them were colluding with each other and must be doing some shameful things behind the scenes.

Chen Ruotong wanted to go to Wan's house again to investigate. Her curiosity drove her to find some evidence before she could feel at ease.

Chen Ruotong felt that she could be a detective because her judgment and reasoning abilities were quite strong!

In fact, she guessed wrong. Wan Baocai was not meeting with the Regent, but with the Regent's concubine Yang Liuyi. He met with her every day for more than ten days before reluctantly returning. He was immersed in the gentle land every day, but he didn't know that his treasure had disappeared!
