The moat river in the east city of Kyoto is full of bright lights and people. There is a light fragrance of powder in the laughter.

Mu Chen was dressed in a new style, full of energy, and his unsmiling face was soft. Looking carefully, he seemed to be brimming with a warm smile. He held Shen Jingli's hand tightly and walked leisurely along the river.

"I don't mean to go to King Jing for tea. How can you come here?" Unable to suppress the smile, Shen Jingli looked at Mu Chen happily, his side face was also very beautiful, long eyelashes slightly upward, such as ink point in the eyes of tender like water, a glance can let people indulge in it, can not extricate themselves.

Mu Chen turned to him with a smile, reached out and gently touched his eyebrows. His action contained endless indulgence.

Shen Jingli smiles more happily and leans towards him.

Kyoto is rich, and the people are smart. All kinds of snacks emerge in endlessly. Under the lively shouting, all kinds of aroma gather and linger, attracting the passing guests to salivate, and find a seat to sit down and have a taste.

Shen Jingli came to the capital for such a long time. For the first time, Shen Jingli saw so many snacks and snacks of Dayan Dynasty. Different from the modern and improved snacks he told Li Qi, these snacks are original and are made by local people according to local food materials.

Modern snacks are delicate, small and special atmosphere, which are easy to attract the eyes of rich ladies. However, these snacks made by ordinary people are very real, delicious and plentiful, so that ordinary people and travelling passengers can have enough to eat and drink.

"On weekdays, why don't you see so many snack stands?" It's not that he hasn't been out for a stroll, but he hasn't seen such a spectacular scene.

I came here specially for the festival. "Mu Chen explained, leading Shen Jingli to a fen yuan stall.

At the Fen yuan stall, the gray haired shopkeeper still held the silver spoon in his hand and slowly led the edge of the pot. His voice was loud and loud: "Lao Li's family is big and round, and it's delicious..."

A little girl with a round face was standing beside him. While serving the guests with pink balls, she followed her grandfather and yelled, "Lao Li's rice balls are big and round..."

The clear voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley attracted many passers-by who stopped to look back. The little girl was not shy. She was magnanimous in attracting guests, "my guest, would you like a bowl of rice dumplings? Our old Li's dumplings, 100 yuan and 100 flavors, have all kinds of stuffing

Before her voice dropped, the guest on the side chuckled and said to her, "Miss Yuanyuan, your grandfather named you Yuanyuan. Isn't it because your family is round and big?"

Listening to this joke, the guests around the table also laughed, and Li Yuanyuan also laughed, "Uncle Wang said yes, our family's pink balls are not big and round.

Shen Jingli and Mu Chen just stood in front of the stall. Listening to the conversation, they couldn't help laughing. The girl was very interesting.

Would you like a bowl of rice balls, please Li Yuanyuan looks at them] standing in front of the stall and greeting them with a smile.

"Give me a bowl of sesame stuffing." Shen Jingli Road, turned to ask Mu Chen, "what kind of stuffing do you want?"

"I don't eat." Pink balls are too sweet for him to eat.

Shen Jingli raised his eyebrows and glared at him. For a moment, he thought he had heard something wrong. He brought him to this stall, but told him that he didn't eat?

"A bowl of sesame stuffing will do. "Mu Chen said to Li Yuanyuan.

A look is to accompany the sweetheart to come, Li Yuanyuan full of sweet smile, happy to Li old man order, "grandfather, a bowl of sesame stuffing powder."

The "round" character, as if in her tongue bouncing, and then jingling to the ground like a dragon spitting beads, full of charm is fascinating.

Mu Chen took Shen Jingli to sit down and introduced him to him: "the Li family's Yuanyuan has a history of nearly 100 years in the capital city. My grandfather said that when he was a child, he came to this shop to eat rice dumplings. After I was born, he took me to come several times."

Li's rice balls are round and delicious. They drip like small pearls. They were eaten for the first time when they were young, and they still have endless aftertaste for several days. Later, when they grew up and didn't like sweets, he never came to eat them again.

Shen Jingli looks back at the pale but still high spirited Palmer of a century old brand. He has a different feeling in his heart when he looks at his movements.

After eating Fenyuan, Mu Chen and Shen Jingli went back for a walk

near the panhua bridge, they saw Yang Ningxi, with a smile in her eyes and a noodle figurine of Zhinu in her hand. She was talking to a man happily Shen Jingli tightened his eyebrows. It seems that Yang Ningxi didn't listen to Yang ningxiu's lesson.

Mu Chen also frowned, looking a little unhappy, but this is not for Yang Ningxi, but for the man around her

"do you want to go Shen Jingli inquired. He looked around and saw that the night of Shangyuan festival was very lively. Young men and girls walked side by side, stirring up the atmosphere of warmth and obscurity, but they kept their distance politely.

Mu Chen shook his head. "No, ningya and Ningyi are nearby. They won't let Ning Xi do something out of the ordinary."

Frowning, Mu Chen glanced at the man who was talking to Yang Ningxi, thinking in his heart, should we find a chance to beat this man?Then he can rest assured.

Shen Jingli breathed a sigh of relief and took Mu Chen to the other side. It was rare that Mu 14 was free. Naturally, he should make good use of the rare time of two people.

He doesn't like to go shopping. He just enjoys the time when they are alone. He always has a kind of quiet and warm feeling.

……

After the Lantern Festival, Shen Jingli also began to be busy

first, he called all the shopkeepers and managers to hold a meeting, listened to their work summary of the previous year, understood the operation situation of each shop in the previous year, and then listened to them explain the operation plan of this year.

The business of cloth shop, rouge shop, rice and oil shop was relatively stable, while that of restaurants and inns was worse, but overall they made some money. After listening to their plan, Shen Jingli felt that there was nothing wrong with them, so he left a backup account book and asked them to do it according to the plan.

What is more troublesome is the land outside the city. After making money this year, Shen Jingli bought another 30 mu of paddy field and 50 mu of dry land. What these fields want to grow is the biggest headache for Shen Jingli.

In addition to 230 mu of farmland outside the city, we also dug two new ponds, planted lotus roots, and raised fish and ducks. "Wang Guanshi Hui reports.

"Dig a pond?" Shen Jingli raised her eyebrows. "I didn't tell you to dig a pond?

"It's the old slaves who are good at making decisions." Wang Guanshi knelt down to plead guilty. "The lotus root powder mentioned by the county Lord has a good market in several neighboring states and counties, so the old slave dug two more ponds and planted more lotus roots."

Shen Jingli looked down at Wang Guanshi, who was kneeling on the ground. His plea was sincere, but he didn't regret it. Moreover, his face was more healthy and ruddy than before. Obviously, he had a good life recently.

"Fish and ducks, what are you going to do?" When it comes to fish and ducks, Shen Jingli can think of all kinds of fish meal, stone pot fish and honey crispy roast duck.

"The fish I raised was sold to the restaurants in the capital. Miss Biao said she wanted to open a duck restaurant." Wang replied truthfully.

Shen Jingli remembered that he had told Shen Yueer to open a roast duck shop, and the girl seemed to be very interested.

"How about those ducks?" If you want to open a duck restaurant, you have to communicate with Shen Yueer first.

"the first batch can be slaughtered and eaten." Wang Guanshi said.

Shen Jingli nodded. "I see. I'll take Shen Yuer to see the ducks tomorrow. By the way, I'll tell you what to do with the 200 acres."

Governor Wang answered and left happily.

After the person left, Shen Jingli asked people to call Shen Yuer over.

Fourth brother, what do you want me to do? "Shen Yuer came in with a brisk pace, sat down at the first place, served the tea bowl and drank a cup of tea.

The income of high-heeled shoes was divided into 10% dividends, and now she has saved hundreds of silver. From the perspective of a farmer's family, she is already a little rich woman. She can buy a house in such a small place as Wuhu town to provide for the aged. Naturally, she is extremely happy.

"Before you said about opening a duck restaurant, what's your idea now?" Shen Jingli road.

Duck restaurant?

Shen yue'er was confused at first, then looked at Shen Jingli with her eyes full of expectation. "Fourth brother, I can open a roast duck shop."

Looking at her appearance, we can see that she wants to do it very much. Shen Jingli nodded and reminded him: opening a shop is not as simple as you think. First of all, you have to find a shop "

" I've taken a fancy to a shop. " Shen Yueer snapped, "at the intersection of Huaxiang and Qinghua street in Beijing, there is only a roast chicken shop there, which is not very delicious. Moreover, there are rich businessmen and some low-grade officials living in Jinghua lane. They can afford to spend money, but they have no right and no power. They dare not find fault."

Shen Jingli thinks that Shen Yueer has a business mind, so she did market research ahead of time.

"Have you set up your shop?" The price of land in the capital is very expensive. A shop located in a remote area also costs thousands of Liang. Shen Yueer has a fancy for that one, which has an outstanding geographical position. So it needs 2000 Liang at least.

"No Shen Yueer shakes her head. The shop costs 35000 Liang silver. All her assets add up to more than 300 taels. She can't afford it at all.

I think so. Even if Shen Yueer has money and can afford it, it depends on whether the other party is willing to sell it.

"What do you think of the provision of food materials?"

Shen Yueer shook her head again, which she had not considered at all.

Shen Jingli pondered for a while and said to Shen yue'er, "let's go to see the shop you said first today. If it's OK, we'll set it down first."

Shen yue'er stood up happily with a happy smile on her face.

Jinyu brought tea in. When she heard Shen Jingli say she wanted to go out, she said, "maid, let someone prepare a sedan chair.

"No, let's walk." Shen yue'er refused, and then remembered that she had not asked Shen Jingli for her opinion. She turned back to Shen Jingli and said, "fourth brother, let's go on foot."

Shen Jingli looked at her silly appearance and nodded.
