In the golden autumn of October, the fragrance of osmanthus is floating.

In Guiyang City, the business of Osmanthus Fragrance Fish Village was very prosperous. I heard that the Duke of Qi paid a batch of Guizhou local products to the emperor last time, including osmanthus pickled fish. I heard that after His Majesty paid, he praised the delicious food and wrote the three words Osmanthus Fragrance.

For a time, Guiyang's pickled fish became famous.

The crucian carp raised in the rice fields began to be marinated with new wood poles when the osmanthus fragrance was fragrant. This is a traditional delicacy in Guiyang. Now, thanks to the emperor's praise, Guiyang's osmanthus fish was famous all over the world for a while.

The osmanthus fish that the Duke of Qi paid tribute to the palace came from Zewo Zexi, and was pickled by Amu Ayi and Shahyi himself.

In Guiyang City in October, the Osmanthus Fragrance Fish House opened by Abu Ayi and Shahyi, and the shop was hung with the three big words Osmanthus Fragrance written by the emperor's emperor's pen. The emperor's imperial treasure was sent to the Duke of Qi with the decree. When the Duke of Qi opened the Yuzhuang, he made this imperial treasure into a plaque and personally came to the scene to present it.

The three big characters "Osmanthus fragrance" are vigorous and powerful.

The imperial gift of Mobao and the emperor's personal praise made the business of Osmanthus Xiangyu Village extremely popular since its opening. In the store, Abu Ayi had restored his real name Qin Hu, and he did not have Chongqing. He only remembered that his home was in Chongqing, but he was abducted and sold to come here at about ten years old. It was abducted and eighteen years had passed.

He used to not want to escape from here all the time, but now he feels reluctant to leave. Because he is no longer alone, he has just married Shah Ayi as his wife, and they have opened this fish farm in Guiyang City, and the business is still so prosperous.

Qin Hu was wearing a long gown, a melon-shaped hat on his head, and a pair of long boots under his feet. He smiled and stood in the store to greet customers who came to eat. With the imperial signs and the reputation of imperial tribute, the business of osmanthus fragrance was very good. Now Guiyang City is also very lively, with the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, local officials selected by the court, militiamen gathered from all over the country, and merchants running around.

Guiyang is unprecedentedly lively, and the business of Osmanthus is also extremely popular.

Nowadays, people who come to Guiyang City will come to Osmanthus Fragrance to eat a bite of the osmanthus fish that the emperor praised.

Let me reserve a table for you. Let me leave you our signature dish Osmanthus Fish.” Qin Hu said to the officer with a smile. The officers came here, but the fish farm was full, and many guests were already out of waiting. As for the private rooms on the second and third floors, they had already booked out three days in advance.

Qin Hu had to apologize to the officer. He finally proposed a solution, and he booked a seat for them on the first floor. As for the private rooms upstairs, they had been queued for three days and had no choice.

"That's fine, then you must keep it for me. We have just come from the south, and the brothers are about to celebrate."

"The officials must have made new contributions, congratulations." Qin Hu said with a smile. In just a short time, Qin Hu had earth-shaking changes. He was no longer the numb and desperate Xia Xi in the past, but became a confident Yuzhuang owner.

"Our osmanthus-scented pickled fish is the most authentic. The emperor praised it very much and gave us a gift of ink treasures." Qin Hu said proudly.

It was lunch time, and the guests arrived in batches. It has been more than a month since the opening of the business, but the business of Yuzhuang is getting more and more popular.

At the beginning, Qin Hu originally planned to open a small shop. But now, Yuzhuang has already set up all the upstairs and left and right stores. Yuzhuang has also hired many friends, and now there are more than 30 people in the shop. I can't be busy every day.

Shah Ai, who was very business-minded, saw that Gui Xianghua had a good reputation and opened a takeaway business. There was no empty space in the store, and customers could order food and deliver it to their doorstep. After they prepared the food, they delivered it to them in person.

The takeaway business is also very popular. Now, in addition to the thirty guys in the store, the store has also specially invited twenty guys to deliver takeaway.

Now Shah Yai has a new plan.

She convinced her husband that she had bought the big yard behind the store and was about to recruit a friend, and began to make osmanthus fish on a large scale, and then sold it into buckets to those merchants who came to buy it.

With the golden signboard of Osmanthus fragrance, there are so many osmanthus fish that can be sold.

Many customers must sing the fragrance of osmanthus when they come. Many people are still unsatisfied after eating it and often ask to buy some to take it away. At the beginning, Qin Hu was embarrassed because it was too large. However, their stock was not large.

It takes time to pickle osmanthus fish, and they don’t want to smash their golden signs.

The newly rented yard behind was filled with newly made wooden barrels, and the fragrance of wood was scattered. In this courtyard and in the houses, there were many friends hired by Qin Hu and his wife, including carpenters who made buckets, and those who killed and pickled fish.

In the room next to it, there are hundreds of buckets of freshly marinated fish. Unlike the fish outside, these fish are all osmanthus fish collected by Qin Hu personally went to a village in the countryside. They are all crucian carp grown up from eating rice flowers in the most plump rice fields.

When these fish were harvested, the couple did not pretend to be others, but they all took it themselves, and each one was pickled with the most care.

"Your Majesty the Emperor is our benefactor of recreation. We have no choice but to pickle these fish with our own hands. Then, please send them to the capital to your Majesty."

From the serf to the famous merchants in Guiyang City, all this seems like a dream.

Before the Han army attacked Zewo, he thought of escaping with Shah Yi. As a result, before he ran away, the Han army fought and broke the village in one fell swoop. That day, Qin Hu cut off the heads of An Sheng and An Chonglei and presented them to the Han army in chaos.

Although these two people were killed by the Han army's cannons, this move was still rewarded by the Han army. The Duke of Qi personally ordered Qin Hu to give 100 silver dollars.

Later, Qin Hu joined the newly built Qianxi County militia battalion in Zewo. He followed the Han army to attack the rebellious chieftains everywhere. With his courage, he made a lot of contributions and won many heads of Heiyi, received a lot of rewards, and also received a lot of spoils.

However, the militia camp did not stay for too long. Soon the chieftains in Guizhou either died or fled, and the official army did not immediately go south to Yunnan. The Han army was busy changing land in Guizhou and clearing the fields and dividing the fields.

Qin Hu also retired from the militia camp and returned home. He was incorporated into the reserve, but he was only recruited when needed most. Most of the militia were disbanded from the township, leaving only a small number of people to continue in service. After the township, there was no food and salary, and then An Sheng and his son died, and more of the land was distributed to Bai Yi and the slaves in the past.

However, Qin Hu didn't want to stay there anymore, it was an unbearable past for him.

He took the Anjia silver, the severance silver, the food and salary and rewards he had served, and the trophy he received, and finally left the place with Shah Yi. He originally wanted to stay in Guizhou, but Shah Yi hoped to stay in Guizhou.

Finally, they arrived in Guiyang and opened a fish farm here.

Who knew that their fish was eaten by the emperor and received imperial treasures, which made the business so prosperous.

In fact, many people in Guizhou will pickle osmanthus fish. For a long time, pickled fish in the twelfth lunar month has been the tradition of the people. The pickled fish and meat have a unique taste and can be better preserved.

However, the osmanthus fish pickled by Shah Yai is indeed better than those that are pickled by ordinary people. In fact, Shah Yai does not have any secret methods, but it is better than those that are pickled by ordinary people.

Nowadays, the sign of Osmanthus fragrance is getting louder and better, and the fish shop is getting bigger and bigger. It is three floors upstairs and downstairs. There is also a production workshop behind it, and now it also makes takeaways. Hundreds of people in and out of the store follow them for dinner.

However, these people were all his employees, and there was no slave. Guizhou no longer allowed slaves, only employed, not enslaved.

Qin Hu and his wife treated the employers very generously. In the words of the couple, exploitation and slavery alone cannot last long. Qin Hu and his wife were illiterate, so they hired shopkeepers and accountants to help manage the business.

Shah Yi is pregnant, but she still refuses to put down her business in the store. After opening a takeaway and pickled fish workshop, she plans to open a branch. There are two more branches in Guiyang City. She also plans to open a new store in the surrounding dugouts and expand their pickled fish workshop.

She is full of hope for the future.

Nowadays, not only are many customers coming to their fish farm to eat fish, but many merchants also come to hear the news, hoping to buy their osmanthus fish. Some merchants saw that the quantity was too small and the supply was insufficient. They proposed to buy the fish pickled from the villages below, and then put the osmanthus fragrance brand to sell.

However, Shah Ayi and Qin Hu refused.

Being honest in life, doing business requires more credit. They cannot ruin the signs given to them by the emperor.

The couple was very grateful to the emperor. The first thing they did when they woke up every morning was to bow to the north and thank the emperor for giving them a new life.

They are working hard to manage the fragrance of osmanthus and insist on doing two things well. One is to operate honestly and make the best pickled fish with osmanthus. Second, pay taxes seriously and pay a penny of tax. Business tax, property tax, income tax, urban construction tax, education tax, stamp tax, etc., and you will never hide it or hide it.

The business of Yuzhuang is booming and profitable. In addition to paying taxes truthfully, the couple has also spent a lot of money to donate to build two primary schools and three bridges.

"We must know how to be grateful. Everything today is the new life given to us by Your Majesty. It is the emperor and the great man who gave us these. We should be grateful and repay us."

If the emperor needed it, he would be willing to donate all his property, including their shops. At first, he planned to hand over most of the profits of his business to the court, but after going to several yamen, he was rejected by the officials. The court collected taxes according to the tax law and was not allowed to escape, but he would never charge a cent and a half more.

Finally, when Duke of Qi, Liu Qiao, heard about this, came to his store to support him again and talked to him. He told him that paying taxes truthfully is the good people of the empire. If they want to be grateful to the society better, they can spend some money to do some public welfare and charity, such as donating money to build primary schools. Now the imperial court has to build primary schools in various townships and implement three years of free education, but there are still many villages below the township, which are too far away from the township, and it is inconvenient to go to school. The imperial court is unable to set primary schools below the township.

The village primary schools below the village must be funded by the villagers themselves, and they also need kind-hearted people to help.

They can also help to invest in the construction of bridges and roads. The imperial court now plans to build roads in Guizhou to strive for the access of major roads in counties. However, the rural roads below the county cannot be accessed, and rural roads can be freely funded for construction.

The next day, Qin Hu took out money to build bridges, roads and schools. In the end, their money built two village primary schools and three small stone bridges. The officials of Qianxi County Government also recorded these in the county annals and named the two schools and the stone bridge after Qin Hu. One was called Qinhu Primary School and the other was called Shah Yi Primary School.

The school and the bridge were also asked to erect stone tablets, and the inscriptions were engraved forever.

Liu Qiao also reported this to the emperor. The newly appointed provincial, provincial and other officials in Guizhou also regarded the Qin Hu and his wife as local good examples, and informed them to let the gentry and people from all over the country learn.

Now Qin Hu and his wife are really famous. Their Yuzhuangyue business is booming. The couple plans to continue to invest in the construction of primary schools and bridges and roads in the future. They also plan to regularly donate money to the nursing homes, orphanages, Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, Luze Academy and other institutions established by the court in the future.

The nursing home is to support the widows and widows and no complaints; the orphanage is to support the people and abandon the baby without care, the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau is to help the poor of the disease; the Luze Garden is to buried the dead without a boss;

Qin Hu felt that the court was willing to use money and food to set up these institutions in various parts of the world, and they should do their best.

"If you are poor, you will be able to keep yourself alone, and those who are capable will help the world." Qin Hu has also recently started to read and read literacy with the accountant in the store. The words he said have always made him forget deeply.

At the beginning, he was just a Xiaxi, and he could not even be able to protect himself. It was His Majesty the Emperor and the court who rescued him. Now his life has changed. He has no worries about food and drink, and he has made money every day, which he had never imagined before.

But with money, he didn't want to be just a slave to keep his money. He didn't want to bury his money underground, nor did he want to buy land and land blindly, nor did he just put it in a bank bank to make a living.

He felt that he should do something, and the sentence in the article taught by his ancestors was very good.

The emperor and the court rescued him, and he should also rescue those who are still in the same situation as he used to, help the weak and the poor, which is what they should do.

Repaying the emperor's re-creation will also accumulate blessings for future generations.

His wife is already pregnant, and Yang Hu hopes to accumulate more blessings for his children.

To personally pickle osmanthus fish for the emperor is a gratitude to His Majesty. Paying taxes seriously is an obligation to the court, and to comfort the weak and help the poor is a conscience. (To be continued.)
