Yan Shouhou had already sent people to set up two food stores. They were both called Four Seasons Food Store. One was in the center of the main street and the other was close to the city gate.
The ones in the center of the main street have more refined grains for sale; the ones next to the city gate mainly sell wheat, sorghum, corn, and millet.
As soon as the food arrived, the stewards began to work.
On the first day of February, the Four Seasons Grain Store officially opened.
The newly opened store naturally attracted many people to come and watch.
The manager stood at the door of the store with a smile and said: "Everyone, the prices of various grains sold at the Four Seasons Grain Store are based on the prices in the capital. The prices of grains are also the same. Everyone is welcome to come and buy."
"Four Seasons Grain Store? There is also a Four Seasons Grain Store in Beijing. I heard that they sell high-yielding grains. Are you from the same family?"
No matter how remote Xiliang is, there are still those who are brave and want to break through.
¡°Obviously, the person who asked the question had been to the capital.
The steward smiled and nodded: "Yes, the Four Seasons Food Store on Chang'an Street in the capital is also a store under my wife's name. You can buy with confidence."
"Who knows if you are lying?"
The manager was not angry and continued to smile: "You can actually tell the quality of this kind of food with just two eyes. You can come into the store to have a look. You are free to buy or not."
Hearing this, many people walked into the store.
After knowing that the price of grain in the grain store was nearly 30% lower than elsewhere, everyone started to rush to buy it.
In order to prevent officials and large households from hoarding, food stores have also implemented purchase restrictions.
On the first day the food store opened, Daohua naturally wanted to come over and take a look. She sat in the carriage and looked at the situation in the store from across the street.
The stewards and clerks are all brought from the capital and have relevant experience.
Daohua watched for more than two-quarters of an hour. Seeing that there was no trouble, she went to the next house.
?¡
Dong's house.
Liu Xiaoman knew that her mother-in-law was taking her to visit the Xiao Mansion today. She heard that the person she wanted to see was the princess of the palace, so she specially found two sets of satin clothes that her mother had made for her when she got married.
"Mom, which outfit do you think I should wear?"
Liu Xiaoman took the clothes to see Mrs. Dong because she was afraid that she would embarrass the Dong family.
Mrs. Dong looked at the clothes and chose the royal blue one. Seeing the uneasiness on her daughter-in-law's face, she thought for a while and said, "Don't be too nervous. When you go to the Xiao Mansion, you can do whatever I do. "
Liu Xiaoman nodded quickly: "Don't worry, mother, I won't embarrass the Dong family and my husband. I have memorized all the rules you and my grandmother taught me."
Mrs. Dong smiled: "Mother believes in you."
Liu Xiaoman's sullen face finally showed a smile. Seeing that Mrs. Dong didn't have any jewelry on her head, she immediately said: "Mom, I still have two silver hairpins there. Just wait, I will get them for you right away." With that said, he turned around and went out.
Mrs. Dong quickly stopped the person: "No need, Yan Yatou knows the situation of our family, just dress cleanly and neatly."
Liu Xiaoman has always listened to her mother-in-law, but when Mrs. Dong said no, she really stopped.
Fortunately, Mrs. Dong knows her daughter-in-law's temperament, otherwise, she would have thought she was just talking casually.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law changed clothes and packed up, they went to talk to Mrs. Dong and prepared to go out.
"Mom, why doesn't grandma come with us?" Liu Xiaoman asked curiously.
Mrs. Dong¡¯s expression was stagnant. Back then, when Yuan Yao and Sun Changze eloped, her mother-in-law went too far to get angry at Yi Yi. At this time, her mother-in-law still had the nerve to see Yi Yi.
Seeing her daughter-in-law looking at her, Mrs. Dong just said vaguely: "Grandma is old, it's enough for us to go."
?¡
Xiao Mansion.
After inspecting the two grain stores, Daohua returned home. Not long after he sat down, Gu Yu came to report that Mrs. Dong had come with her daughter-in-law.
¡°Daughter-in-law?¡±
Daohua was stunned for a moment: "Whose daughter-in-law?"
Guyu: "It belongs to Mr. Dong."
Daohua looked surprised: "Brother Dong is remarried?" She had never heard of this at all.
Accident was unexpected, Daohua quickly got up and walked out of the room.
"Aunt!"
Seeing Mrs. Dong who was several years older than when she was in the capital, Daohua was stunned for a moment, but she quickly walked up to her and took the initiative to hold Mrs. Dong's arm.
"Yiyi!"
&nb, and uncle said hello. "
Mrs. Dong and Liu Xiaoman came here on foot, and Daohua sent a carriage to take them back.
In the carriage, Liu Xiaoman looked at a box of pastries and happily said to Mrs. Dong: "Mom, my sister-in-law is so kind. Before I came here, I was nervous because I was afraid that she would be like the conductor's wife I had seen before. Look at people through their nostrils.¡±
"Sure enough, good-looking people have great temperaments. This is true for my husband and my younger siblings."
Listening to her daughter-in-law's words, Mrs. Dong found it a bit funny, but she did not deliberately correct her daughter-in-law. Obviously, her daughter-in-law's upright temperament was very suitable to Yi Yi's taste.
Liu Xiaoman continued to ramble.
"My sister's house is really grand. The maids walk without making a sound. There are so many flowers in the house that I have never seen before."
¡°I used to think that the commander¡¯s family was good enough, but now when I compare it with my siblings¡¯ family, it¡¯s really incomparable.¡±
" Listening to Liu Xiaoman talking about his younger siblings, Mrs. Dong was quite speechless. She didn't know that she thought they were really sisters-in-law.
With her daughter-in-law¡¯s familiar temperament, she really doesn¡¯t know what to say.
When Dong Yuanxuan came back in the evening, Liu Xiaoman handed a plate of red date cake to him as if he wanted to take credit: "My husband, try it quickly. This red date cake is delicious. My sister-in-law specially prepared it for me. She said that pregnant women should eat more."
Dong Yuanxuan was stunned for a moment: "Brother and sister?"
Liu Xiaoman nodded: "She is Mr. Xiao's wife." As he said that, he smiled and talked about following Mrs. Dong to the Xiao Mansion today.
"My brothers and sisters are really good-looking, even more beautiful than you, my husband."
Dong Yuanxuan laughed out loud. His wife was a face-controller. He had known it for a long time. She was fascinated by his face. He asked with a smile: "Why, do you like your sister-in-law?"
Liu Xiaoman quickly shook his head: "My favorite is my husband-in-law, but this does not stop me from liking my younger siblings."
Dong Yuanxuan didn't correct his wife. He knew Sister Yan well and was not a person who liked to be polite. If his wife didn't catch her eye, he wouldn't express his closeness like this.
?¡
"Aunt Dong came to the house today with her daughter-in-law. Do you know about Brother Dong's remarriage?"
Xiao Yeyang was lying on the bed comfortably, and Daohua was standing beside the bed, massaging him vigorously.
In the past few days, he had been running between the frontier army and the guard station, supervising the soldiers and military households on the frontier army to train, but he was exhausted.
Fortunately, Daohua¡¯s massage techniques are good, which relieved a lot of physical fatigue.
"Know something."
Although Dong Yuanxuan was his companion in the past, he still wanted to reuse him, so he sent Jin Lingwei to investigate what happened after he arrived in Xiliang.
Xiao Yeyang told Mrs. Dong that she was seriously ill and Liu Xiaoman used ginseng to save her life.
After hearing this, Daohua nodded: "Brother Dong's wife looks pretty good." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
