Before the news of the southern saltern came back, the capital was in the mood of entering the new year's festival. Every street was very busy. The shops warmly welcomed the customers who bought the new year's products. The people outside the city also made fresh new year's products to sell in the city. The whole atmosphere was very happy.

Under the instruction of mother Jin, Shen Jingli also began to buy new year's products. He ordered several new cotton padded clothes for the new year and after the Spring Festival from the clothing factory, and bought chicken, duck, fish and meat, as well as various dried goods, such as mushrooms, fungus, arrowhead, squid, and other candies and snacks.

Dry goods are stored in the warehouse. Chickens, ducks and fish are bought and kept at home. They are slaughtered and eaten on the new year's day. Part of the pork is made into bacon, and part of it is frozen. It is made into stewed meat before the new year.

After purchasing new year goods, Shen Jingli personally sent gifts to Ximu house and Yang family.

In the past two years, Shen Jingli has made a lot of money, so this year's gift is very rich: six one foot long carp are still alive and kicking in the bucket, a big fat pig of more than 100 Jin, six pheasants, six domestic chickens, six ducks, Six geese, and his own brown sugar. In order to celebrate, he specially made five blessings in front of the door, more than every year, and fish leaping across the gate Several barrels of peanut oil and tea oil, as well as several fruits out of season, as well as several pieces of soft tobacco and some valuable medicinal materials.

Chicken, duck, fish and meat are nothing to the rich and noble officials' families. What is valuable is the fruits out of season and the soft cigarettes. The soft smoke is as thin as a gauze, and it is said that each one will cost thousands of liang of silver.

Although there are many rich families in the capital city, there are few people who are well-off, especially some officials. The salary of the imperial court is only a few thousand taels of silver a year. If there is no other livelihood in the family, in fact, they can only live a moderately prosperous life.

When you go to Ximu house and Yang house, you have to go through Zhenyuan Houfu. When mu Laotai Jun and Dehui county master know about this, they are angry again and make a lot of noise in the house.

Shen Jingli doesn't know about this matter at all, but even if he does, he won't pay attention to it.

Since mu Laotai Jun and Dehui County Lord went to the junwangfu to make trouble and ordered him to kill one person, Zhenyuan Marquis did not allow him and Dehui County Lord to go to the prefectural palace again, or even allowed them to see Shen Jingli again.

All the way to Ximu house, Shen Jingli got off the carriage at the main gate, and the carriage with the new year's ceremony went in through the back door.

"There's everything at home. Why bother to send new year's gifts here?" The three old ladies went out in person to meet her. When she saw Shen Jingli, she couldn't help being angry.

Although we are not satisfied with the education of our grandchildren, we will not be satisfied with them

"Yes, I will learn from my sister-in-law. "Mu Sihua came up and took the three old ladies' arms and said coquettishly.

The three old ladies looked at her angrily. She laughed and winked at Shen Jingli from behind.

Mu Siyu and Mu Sitong stood aside deftly. They were common women. In front of the guests, they did not dare to act coquettish to the old lady like Mu Sihua. They were not allowed to talk freely.

"You are a girl, who is quick to get married. You are not big or small." Qin shook his head in disgust, but his eyes were full of doting.

Instead of taking her mother's words to heart, Mu Sihua asked Shen Jingli, "sister-in-law, what kind of New Year gift did you give us?

"It's ordinary new year goods." If there is anything unique, it should be the various kinds of brown sugar.

Shen Jingli stayed in Mu's family for an hour. The three old ladies asked him about his recent situation and told him about his family situation. Mu Jing and Yang Ningyi got married after the new year, and Mu Siyu was also engaged. After Mu Jing got married, he would go through the door. Moreover, after Mu's new year's Eve, he would return to his clan to worship his ancestors and ask Mu Chen whether he would go back together.

Ancestor worship is a big event. Shen Jingli did not dare to promise for mu Chen. He said that he would tell Mu Chen about it. Then he took care of the old lady's body before leaving.

After that, Shen Jingli went to Yang's house again. The Yang family was more eager than the Mu family.

"Sister-in-law, I miss you so much recently. Why don't you come to see me?" As soon as Yang Ningxin heard that Shen Jingli was coming, she didn't even put on her cloak, so she rushed out and came to Shen Jingli's face. She said, "sister-in-law, the chili sauce I took from you last time was sold for more than 1000 Liang silver. Isn't it very powerful?

she looked at Shen Jingli with a smile on her face. She wanted to praise it too clearly. Shen Jingli reached for her head and said to herself, "how awesome, how did you do it?"

He didn't give a lot of chili sauce, only a dozen jars, which could hold hundreds of small bottles at most. Did she sell ten Liang silver a bottle?

The little girl raised her head with pride, and the expression on her face clearly said, come and ask me quickly and ask more.

"Sister in law, don't pay attention to her. The girl can't hold back her affairs. She will tell herself later." Yang ningtian, who is specially against Yang Ningxin, comes to expose Yang Ningxin's mind.

"Yang ningtian..." Yang Ningxin disaffectedly called Yang ningtian's name, swung her fist and hit him.Shen Jingli looked at them and asked Yang ningya, "what's going on?"

"That girl is clever. She gave a small bottle to the shopkeeper of the major restaurants in Beijing. After others have tasted it, she will come to an auction, and the one with higher price will get it." Yang ningya really felt that this sister had a bright head. "Those shopkeepers are all human spirits. They just want to take pictures of this new thing. At the end of the new year, it's more valuable to do human relationship than to sell it in the store. It's not a loss at all."

It is said that the old prince of Rongguo mansion is very fond of that spicy sauce. He photographed the restaurant with spicy sauce. Because of this, he has established a relationship with Rongguo government and his business is more prosperous.

"Those shopkeepers are good at business, too." Shen Jingli gave a pertinent answer.

"After all, he has been an old shopkeeper for many years. "Yang ningya smiles, elegant and looks like a lady.

After entering the house, the servants have already moved in the new year's goods brought by Shen Jingli, and all the meat has been moved to the kitchen. What has been moved here are some dry goods, sweets, snacks, medicinal materials and cloth.

"What is this, sister-in-law?" Yang Ningxin asked, picked up a piece of brown sugar to eat, "eh, it's delicious."

Yang ningtian also saw the unique style, and feel very artistic conception of the brown sugar, also twist a piece to eat, taste fragrant, and do not touch the teeth, people can not stop eating.

"Sister in law, the sugar looks very unique."

"That's the flowers blooming and the wealth." Peony stands for wealth, and the blooming peony is also rich and noble.

"What about this one? "Yang ningtian raised another one.

"That's five blessings." Bat Tongfu, five sugar bats on the door, and bamboo is growing high, add a carp is the fish leaping dragon's gate, fat baby holding big carp is more than every year A lot of people know, in a very simple way.

Shen Jingli introduces them one by one. During this period, Yang Ningxin's eyes are wide open. When Shen Jingli finishes speaking, her eyes are almost like copper coins. Don't think about it. The girl is trying to figure out how to make money.

"A thousand taels. "Before she opened her mouth, Shen Jingli first compared a number, and Yang Ningxin was stunned," what a thousand taels? "

"I don't want to cooperate with you on the formula of kraft sugar. It will be sold to you at one time." In fact, Shen Jingli can do this business by himself, but he is lazy by nature, and he doesn't think the brown sugar can be used for too long.

Why? It's a way to make money. "If it's sold in the food brocade Pavilion for a month, it's worth at least several hundred Liang.

"I'm lazy." Shen Jingli Bo admitted without concealment.

……

Yang Ningxin felt that she was speechless. She nodded, "that's OK." Buy it out. After making money, buy something meaningful for my sister-in-law.

If you think about it carefully, every time my sister-in-law has a good idea, she will give them some tips. They have been able to earn a large amount of pocket money by themselves. All of these are the blessing of her sister-in-law. With this in mind, Yang Ningxin looks at Shen Jingli with more admiration.

Shen Jingli only stayed in the Yang family for more than one hour, and then returned home with a gift from the Yang family.

After returning, Shen Jingli talked with Mu Chen about ancestor worship.

"The third grandmother said that after the Spring Festival, the third grandfather would take some uncles back to worship their ancestors. Would you like to go with me?"

Shen Jingli used to follow the old man to worship his ancestors in a grand form, which he will remember in his lifetime.

He felt that Mu Chen, who had been expelled from the clan, would not cause trouble if he went back to such a grand ceremony.

"Ancestor worship?

Mu Chen didn't hear this word for a long time. Mu Chen was in a trance. When he was so old, he went back to attend the ceremony with his father when he was a child. After that, he never went back.

"Yes, if you don't want to go back, just tell the third grandfather.

This event reminds Mu Chen that the Mu family said that he would be expelled from the clan, but in fact, he did not let him go back to the ancestral temple and cross his name from the genealogy in front of the ancestors. He felt that he should go back and ask about the specific situation.

If his name is still on the genealogy, he still belongs to the Mu clan. There are many things that he can't do as he pleases.

"I see."

……

After purchasing new year goods, Shen Jingli was busy preparing for the Lunar New Year and organized the people's Congress of the government to clean up.

The new year's Day is approaching, and it's twenty-nine in a blink of an eye. On this day, apart from pasting the door couplets and window decorations, the most important thing is to pay homage to old master Mu and Mu Yang's family.

Shen Jingli had prepared sacrifices and paper in the early morning. In the evening, the family of four entered the ancestral hall.

Mu Chen wiped the memorial tablets of the old master and Mu Yang's family, lit candles, placed sacrifices, and worshipped together by the four members of the family. After that, Mu Chen described the situation of this year and introduced xun'er by the way. As he said this, Shen Jingli and Mu Jin burned Ming paper, as well as custom-made houses, Dayuanbao and sedan chairs.

People believe that they burn these things, people in the hell can receive, can also have a good year.After the sacrifice, the family went back to their rooms to have a good sleep and greet the new year's Eve tomorrow. ：
