At the end of the twelfth lunar month in the 32nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Kuaiji County, Shaoxing Prefecture.
There is a rumor in the year that 'twenty-seven, go to the big fair; twenty-eight, clean up the sloppy. ¡¯ What this means is that on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the whole family will go to the big market, buy new year¡¯s goods, and buy enough firewood, rice, oil, salt, chicken, duck and fish for half a month. Then from the twenty-eighth day, I stopped going out, washed and brushed at home and waited for the New Year.
The one-year operation of the business will end on the 27th, but before returning home for the New Year on the 28th, the shop must be cleaned up. So even though there were few pedestrians on the street that day, the shops were still bustling
In front of a store on Baoyouqiao Street in Yongchangfang, a tall young man wearing a blue jacket and black cotton trousers was leading two staff members to clean up. The two clerks were very busy sweeping the floor and cleaning the window lattices, sprinkling water and wiping the counters The owner was kind and generous, and the relationship between everyone was extraordinary, so the clerks naturally worked with sincerity.
However, the big young man moved a ladder to the door, carried a basin of rags, quickly climbed to the top, and began to carefully wipe the nanmu plaque. Like treating a baby, he gently pressed the four ancient and powerful characters of "Sanren Company" on the plaque, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional
In a blink of an eye, this three-brother partnership firm has been thriving for a year and a half, and its business is getting bigger and bigger. From the initial four hundred catties of fine salt per month to six hundred catties in the first half of this year, the next Eight hundred catties in half a year, doubled the income. Together, the brothers plan to open two more branch offices next year, and strive to sell 15 small mints and 3,000 catties of salt a year Although it is still incomparable to those salt merchants who can easily sell tens of thousands of catties, it is already guaranteed. The two families and Shen Jing have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and they have ample money.
In fact, this year, his life has improved a lot. Not to mention anything else, just looking at his body shape, from being tall and thin to being tall and strong now, with a ruddy and healthy complexion, you can tell that he has no more grievances.
It is said that he has money in his hand and his life is better. He should have nothing to worry about, but the eldest son has been inexplicably disturbed recently. When he thinks of some scenes, he can't help but get excited and want to run away from home immediately
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"My master, my master" The man's call woke up the eldest son who was in deep thought. He said "Oh" and lowered his head, "What's the matter?"
"If you don't stop, our plaque will breathe." The two guys laughed under the ladder.
The eldest son felt a little embarrassed, and asked, "Have you finished all the work?"
"Just waiting for your inspection." The clerk smiled and said, "Of course I can't wipe the plaque clean like you." The eldest son is usually generous, and the clerks are a little casual with him.
The eldest son got off the ladder and checked around the house. Seeing that the job was not bad, he nodded, went to the cabinet, took the key from his waist, opened the drawer, took out two red envelopes, handed them to the two men who had been looking forward to it for a long time, and said: "Go back and say hello to uncle and aunt. I'll go to see them during Chinese New Year." Although he and Shen Mo have moved out of the hut, they always have those amiable neighbors in their hearts, besides giving money from time to time, even the shop assistants are hired from there.
The two guys took the heavy red envelope and said happily: "New Year's greetings to Master Shen and the owner." The eldest son asked them to start work on the 16th day of the first lunar month, and let them go home for the New Year.
After the buddy left, the eldest son moved the ladder in, and cleaned the dirty places again. After he was completely satisfied, he closed the door, closed the store door, and returned to the patio from the back door It turned out that this is a In the courtyard of Sishuiguitang', the main house facing south is used as a shop, and the backyard is surrounded by small buildings with two floors of white walls and black tiles on three sides, forming a large courtyard of two feet squareor a small courtyard is more appropriate.
The eldest son went into the courtyard and saw that his father was tending the newly slaughtered chickens and ducks. There was steaming heat in the kitchen, and by smelling it, he knew it was his mother who was steaming rice cakes.
Father Yao also saw the eldest son, kept his hands on his hands, and said in a low voice, "When will you come back?" The eldest son said that he had just finished his work, so his father assigned him a task and said, "Go and clean the hall quickly, sir. Wan Mo knocked over the sacrificial vessel."
Only then did the eldest son remember that today is the day to invite the Great Bodhisattva. According to the elders, bodhisattvas in the sky do not enter unclean homes. Therefore, before "blessing", the hall, sacrificial table, and sacrificial utensils must be dusted and washed clean Although he has a pair of younger brothers and sisters, his father would never entrust such an important job to a child.
Just as the eldest son was about to agree, his mother also came out of the kitchen, her face was flushed by the heat, and she wore a pair of twisted silver bracelets on her wrists. She brushed the messy hair on her forehead and said, "Go and see if Master Shen is awake? I'll give him the following."
The eldest son scratched his head and said in a muffled voice: ???Then I'll go see Lord Shen first. " Putting his father's errand aside, he went upstairs to the East Wing.
There are three rooms on the second floor of the East Chamber. The eldest son went up and knocked on the door lightly, and whispered, "Chao Sheng, is Uncle Shen up yet?"
The door opened with a squeak, and a slender, handsome young man came out. It was Shen Mo who had grown a lot taller. He let out a breath of foul air and said in a low voice, "I slept like a dead pig. I guess it will take a while." Only then can I get up." He said a little depressingly: "In order to be the chief bookkeeper, I have to get drunk twice in three days, it's really not worth it."
While talking, the two entered the study room next door, where there were neatly piled books of various colors. Although there was a charcoal basin in the middle of the room, it was extinguished when people left because they were afraid of water.
Mo Mo couldn't help shivering and said: "It's really cold." The eldest son hurriedly raised the charcoal basin, dancing happily with the orange fire light, and finally the room gradually warmed up.
Only then did Shen Mo take off the half-worn blue coat on his body, revealing the chestnut Confucian shirt inside, making him look thinner, chic, gentle and refined as expected, he was full of poetic and scholarly spirit. He was leaning halfway on an easy chair covered with a quilt, making tea and water, while squinting at his absent-minded eldest son.
When he got up and sat down on the stool, he silently handed over a cup of strong tea and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
"No, it's nothing." The eldest son shook his head quickly, picked up the teacup and put it to his mouth.
"Hot!" Shen Mo hurriedly stopped him, and said with a half-smile: "Is this also called nothing?"¡ª¡ª
