Chapter Holidays

After being happy, Deputy He said embarrassedly: "I thank the eldest son for his kindness, and we are grateful. It's just the money and food for this stock, Lao He, this, that..."

After planning, Deputy Qianhu He found that he could only take out 100 taels of silver at most. Compared with the large investment of Huang Laifu and Qu Yuanrui of tens of thousands of taels of silver, it is really a big mistake. The investment is small, and naturally there will be less dividends when the dividend is distributed. What should I say?

Yang Baihu touched his goatee beard and also planned that his family would not be able to pay much money. After Wuzhai Fort develops, he would not be able to share much money. It's a pity that such a good opportunity.

Of course, Jiang Baihu and others also faced the same problem. Everyone was happy and regretful. However, they were unable to do anything.

Of course, Huang Laifu understood what the few people thought. He smiled and said, "It's okay. Don't worry about money. Just do your best. However, the land and land need a lot of people. I hope everyone will think of more solutions at that time."

Deputy Qianhu He and others patted their chests, almost saying things like going through fire and water.

Huang Laifu said to He Vice Qianhu again: "Mr. He, dear masters, as for the water truck you mentioned, I plan this way. All dozens of military craftsmen must be used together. Before the New Year, they can produce some water trucks and other items for you. However, after the New Year, these military craftsmen will be afraid that they will concentrate their efforts on the fields that will be opened."

Deputy Qianhu and others were relieved. In fact, according to their previous temperament, they were used to small clothes and food, and suddenly participated in the major event of tens of thousands of taels of silver. Although the profit was abundant, they were always a little scared. If there was a situation in the future, they would always rely on their own fields.

At that time, everyone agreed on the matter, and the surplus grain produced will be included in Qu Yuanrui for unified export. Of course, all the affairs during this period will be decided by Huang Laifulai. They are only shareholders and can only pay dividends at the end of the year. However, He Deputy Qianhu, Jiang Baihu and others are already satisfied.

Things were decided like this. He Vice Qianhu and others unexpectedly returned home with a lot of loads, and they all left happily. Huang Laifu and Qu Yuanrui sent them out together. At this time, Vice Qianhu and others naturally had completely different expressions towards Qu Yuanrui.

Looking at the backs of He Vice-Chenghu and others leaving, Huang Laifu smiled at Qu Yuanrui and said, "Today is the winter solstice. Is Manager Qu interested in sitting in my Wuzhaibao home?"

Qu Yuanrui hurriedly said, "Qu is so desperate." He hesitated a little: "But, Qu is not in a hurry to prepare gifts."

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "No need to be polite, let's treat us as family in the future."

Qu Yuanrui smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, please be polite."

At that moment, everyone rode their horses and returned to the Qianhu House of Wuzhai Fort.

When I arrived at the entrance of Qianhu House, I saw that it was decorated with a strong festive atmosphere.

The eldest sister was directing the people at the gate to work hard. When she saw Huang Laifu, she smiled and said, "My brother knows how to come back. If you don't come back, my mother will send someone to the farm to find you." She glanced at Qu Yuanrui next to Huang Laifu and said, "Who is this?"

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "Sister, I will introduce you to you. This is the shopkeeper of Quyuan Ruiqu, you know each other."

The eldest sister smiled and said, "It turns out to be a businessman. Come into the house quickly, your eldest sister is still busy." As she said that, she ordered the people to go there with a loud shout.

Huang Laifu smiled at Qu Yuanrui and said, "This is my elder sister, don't be surprised by Zhixin."

Qu Yuanrui hurriedly said, "I dare not, my wife is a person with temperament. When Qu sees him, he can only appreciate him."

After entering Qianhu's house, everyone in the house saw Huang Laifu and heard a series of voices, "Young Master is back!"

Huang Laifu walked into the main hall and saw a light and a lot of people coming and going, each of whom was busy at the table, placing snacks and wine. Yang was directing everyone to arrange the arrangements. Gu Yunniang was busy with her. When she saw Huang Laifu, Gu Yunniang looked at Huang Laifu and continued to be busy. Yang said happily: "Fu'er is back. I'm worried that you won't come back to drink the Winter Solstice wine, and I'm about to send someone to call you."

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "Mom, am I back now?"

Yang smiled and said, "It's good that you'll be back. Let's talk to your father and Uncle Gu."

Huang Laifu responded, signaled Qu Yuanrui, and walked towards Huang Sihao and Gu Qianhu. The two were burning fire beside the stove, while saying something.

Seeing Huang Laifu, Huang Sihao smiled and said, "Fu'er is back, your mother talked about you just now."

Seeing Qu Yuanrui beside Huang Laifu, he said, "Fu'er, who is this?"

Huang Laifu said: "Dad, my child will introduce you to you. This is the shopkeeper of Quyuan Ruiqu. We have been discussing the land reclamation issue in Wuzhaibao in the afternoon."

Qu Yuanrui stepped forward and bowed, "The little Qu Yuanrui has met the Qianhu Lord."

Huang Sihao smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Qu is so polite, please sit down."

Qu Yuanrui said, "Mr. Xie Qianhu." He sat down aside. Huang Sihao ordered the people to serve tea.

Huang Laifu said: "Dad, I want to tell you something."

Huang Sihao said: "What's the matter?"

Huang Laifu said: "The child has agreed with the shopkeeper Qu that the shopkeeper Qu will invest 50,000 taels of silver to reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland in Wuzhai Fort at that time."

Huang Sihao was picking up the teacup and was about to pour tea into his mouth. When he heard this, he almost fell to the ground. He thought that Huang Laifu had just discussed the water truck with He Vice Qianhu and others this afternoon. Unexpectedly, a major investment of tens of thousands of taels of silver suddenly appeared, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Gu Qianhu next to him was also stunned. He said, "Nephew, did you just say... 50,000 taels of silver?"

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Gu and his nephew have agreed with Manager Qu that he would invest 50,000 taels of silver to develop hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland in Wuzhai Fort. If the results are good, various pig farms, sheep pens, duck farms, etc. will be established."

Yang was shocked when he heard it clearly. She came over and said, "My son, I heard it right just now. This shopkeeper Qu invested 50,000 taels of silver. Are you going to reclaim the wasteland of the Five Village Fort?"

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "Yes, mom."

Yang was stunned on the spot, 50,000 taels. For her, it was astronomical money. She had never seen so much money in her life. Even Gu Yunniang, who was next to her, widened her eyes.

At this time, the elder sister who had just entered the room heard it, was stunned for a moment, then quickly came over and said enthusiastically: "This is Manager Qu, look at this handsome and handsome." Then she blamed Huang Laifu and said: "Brother, look at you. When Manager Qu came, you didn't introduce it to the elder sister."

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "Sister, didn't I introduce you to you? He said that this is the shopkeeper of Quyuan Ruiqu, and you ignored him."

The eldest sister said blankly: "Is there any, why don't I remember?"

At this time, Huang Sihao coughed lightly, and the room immediately became quiet. It was obvious that the old man's prestige in the Huang family. He said, "Okay, everyone can do their own things." He said to Qu Yuanrui: "Shopkeeper Qu, I've been negligent just now. Please don't be surprised, come and ask for tea."

Qu Yuanrui thanked him, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Huang Sihao greeted Qu Yuanrui a few words and said to Huang Laifu: "Fu'er, you have agreed on a big thing with Manager Qu, and your father won't interfere with your affairs. But, are you sure about such a big thing? After all, this is a big thing of tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "Dad, you are not at ease when doing things. Are you just satisfied with this water truck?"

Huang Sihao sighed: "Yes, my son is so brave. He is old for his father, so he is far inferior. If it were me, he might not dare to take action for such a big deal."

Gu Qianhu next to him also sighed and said, "Yes, we are all old men. Let them let go of the children's business."

Yang kept listening carefully, and at this time she said, "Old man, what are you worried about? There is no old saying that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Fu'er can't be wrong in what he decides. Anyway, after seeing Fu'er's water truck, I felt that the matter of reclaiming wasteland was definitely correct."

Huang Sihao and Gu Qianhu both nodded, but only Gu Yunniang didn't say anything, but he looked at Huang Laifu from time to time with strange eyes.

"Okay, okay, it's time to eat." Everyone was talking, and the elder sister came over and said.

Yang smiled and said, "It seems that you are just busy talking and forgetting to eat." He said to Qu Yuanrui: "Shopkeeper Qu, you came today, I personally made some soup and made some wontons. You can eat more later."

Qu Yuanrui hurriedly said, "Thank you, old lady."

At this time, Huang Sihao's attitude towards Qu Yuanrui was completely different, and he was asked to sit in the guest seat. Huang Laifu was with him. Gu Qianhu, Gu Yunniang and others, as well as a few concubines and sisters, sat aside, filling a large table with them. Several children were also shouting happily, wanting to eat this and that. Qu Yuanrui saw it and smiled slightly.

Yang said to Qu Yuanrui: "Come on, Manager Qu, please have some snacks first." He picked up a few and burned them on his bowl. Qu Yuanrui hurriedly thanked.

Today's various pastries are still very rich, including firewood, yellow rice flour, date cake, steamed horns, meat bags, etc. Tonight is the Winter Solstice Festival, and wontons and Winter Solstice wine are essential.

After eating pastries before meals, everyone ate wontons and drank wine. During this period, although the table was filled with food, the soup and meat were still poured on it. This was the most hearty thing Huang Laifu had eaten this year after waking up.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very lively. When the food was lively, the Huang family invited a few days ago to perform the opera troupe in front of the house. Shanxi people also called this a singing party. The opera was sang on it and the cocktail party was placed under it. While watching the opera, drinking wine was also drunk. The formation and prosperity of local operas in Shanxi are closely related to Shanxi merchants.

The opera that night was Shangdang Bangzi. There were many scenes on the opera, and they were also called out. Each play had a name and was written on the playbook. The people below included a circle of the play, and the people in the opera troupe performed the play.

Huang Sihao politely asked Qu Yuanrui to order a play, and Qu Yuanrui smiled and ordered. Huang Laifu leaned comfortably on the chair. The stove in the room was burning, as warm as spring. All of this in front of him reminded him a little of the things in the future. With some drinking, he was confused and unable to tell the difference between reality and dreams. (To be continued)
