After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 169: You are a dog if you eat my food

Ding Xiangrong's days at the Shen family were not idle. He had to learn a lot of things, including simple literacy and arithmetic, as well as basic self-defense skills. All three of them had to learn, and he was exhausted every day.

I've only been learning for two days and there are already five more 'dead dogs'.

It was Shen Desheng and others, cousins ​​of this generation, all smart young men. When they learned that Shen Nanzhi needed manpower, Shen Qingshan screened the young men like a talent show and sent the best ones.

Neither side needed Shen Huai'en's deliberate guidance. They both started to confront each other, just wanting to suppress the other side.

This creates a competitive relationship, and it makes me happy to see them making rapid progress.

These young people have never experienced the hardship of studying since they were young. They have to learn dozens of words a day. How can they hold a pen with their hands that are used to holding a hoe?

If it weren't for the hard pen Shen Nanzhi gave them, it would take several months to practice holding the brush to write.

They only need to know literacy and arithmetic, and there is no need to take the imperial examinations, so there is no need to learn calligraphy.

Shen Nanzhi also taught numbers to Shen Huai'en. It is fast to use this method to keep accounts and it is easy to learn. Shen Huai'en himself studied very seriously. It is very practical.

All they have to do is memorize the numbers and the multiplication table and they can get started quickly. They can all be accountants.

Shen Huai'en was different from Shen Nanzhi. She didn't care much about this accounting method and taught it casually. Shen Huai'en knew how valuable such knowledge was and signed an agreement with them. Anyone who dared to leak it would have to pay a huge compensation, otherwise he would spend the rest of his life in jail.

Now they seem innocent and kind, but who knows if they will have evil intentions in the future?

Shen Huai'en doesn't mind speculating about people with the greatest malice. It's better than feeling annoyed and regretful after being betrayed, right?

Shen Nanzhi is now devoted to brewing wine and has ordered several thousand one-pound wine jars, which is another sum of money.

Fortunately, County Magistrate Fang’s corn business opened up the market and he could sell hundreds of corns a day. Excluding the commission, he could still earn more than two taels of income.

Currently, it only appears on the tables of rich people. For the poor, five cents can buy half a pound of rice, and they will never try it just for a bite.

The situation will be better next year if we plant corn on a large scale. The price of a corn cob will probably drop to one penny, and everyone will be able to afford it.

Any new thing will be consumed first by the wealthy.

With this working capital, Shen Nanzhi's golden wine increased every day, and she lost another ten pounds due to hard work.

I am so busy that I don’t care about the outside world. Making money is the most important thing.

That day, the doorman handed her an invitation. It was Jin Xuan'er inviting her to a tea party. Shen Nanzhi was a little curious. She hadn't had any contact with her recently, but she actually took the initiative to invite her. What did she want to do?

I'm tired from brewing wine every day, so I went to relax and play with the girls.

She went to Jinxiufang and bought a set of ready-made clothes. Now that she has lost weight to a slightly plump figure, the ready-made clothes are available in her size.

Shopkeeper Yu received her personally, with a look of amazement on his face: "It's only been two months since I last saw you, Miss Shen has lost so much weight, she's so beautiful that I can't even recognize her."

"Shopkeeper Yu, you are complimenting me. I can't help it. I have a hard life and work hard to make money. I have to be thin. Can't I be thin? Please give me a discount on this dress. I don't have that much money. It's hard to support my family."

"Okay, I'll give you the lowest price. I liked Miss Shen the moment I saw her. It's rare to see a girl as capable as you."

Finally, she bought a sky-blue silk dress, which cost her twenty taels of silver. In her previous life, she had a lot of jewelry, so she chose two pieces to wear, which looked quite coordinated and didn't look too shabby. Then she went to the banquet.

Jin Xuanya held the tea party in her own inner residence. Those who came were young talents from the academy and prominent ladies in the county. The tea party looked like a blind date.

In fact, all kinds of banquets in ancient times were blind date banquets in disguise. Aren’t modern dances the same? They provide an opportunity for people with ulterior motives to hook up, but they are more elegant in nature.

Shen Nanzhi had not arrived yet, and there were many young ladies surrounding Jin Xuan'er, all of whom were chatting lively and laughing.

Separated by a flower wall are the seats for the gentlemen, with men and women separated so as not to damage their reputation.

But you can vaguely see the other side, and the sounds are even more clearly audible, which adds a sense of mystery and arouses more imagination.

Shen Nanzhi was brought in by the maid and presented with her own gift: "These are homemade snacks. Let the ladies have a taste."

Jin Xuaner was amazed by her outfit and took her arm to sit next to him. "Come on, it's worth the money."

"It didn't cost much. I made it at home, so I saved money. I don't have money."

"I accept your kindness. I'll try it later. If it's delicious, I'll come to your house often."

"Welcome."

Jin Xuan'er gave her face, and Shen Nanzhi was happy to cooperate. The relationship between people was improved in this way. Business people can make friends instead of enemies. This is also Shen Nanzhi's principle of life.

"Humph, you have the nerve to bring some rural food here, is it some rice crust pancake? Then we will be amazed, haha..."

It was Xie Roulan. This woman hated Shen Nanzhi so much. How could she forget to ridicule her when she had such a good opportunity?

Jin Xuan'er's face darkened. Xie Roulan was too disrespectful. She was making trouble at her tea party. Wasn't this showing that she looked down on her as the host?

But before she came out, Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Since Miss Xie doesn't like it, don't eat it later. I didn't make much, so save it for those who like it.

Miss Jin, go share the snacks. They taste better when they are hot."

"Ok."

What she said showed that she was confident that the food was not something she couldn't show off. Jin Xuan'er asked the maid to set the plate and bring it out.

The golden little dough is as big as a child’s fist, exudes a sweet fragrance, and has a small white flower painted on it, which looks very beautiful.

It’s not bought from the dim sum shops in the city. Everyone is tired of the dim sum in those shops. They’re not like this.

"Try it, this is cloud cake, soft and sweet, suitable for both the elderly and children."

Shen Nanzhi picked up a piece and started eating. It was actually egg cake. She had an oven in her space, so she baked a box and brought it over.

In my previous life, I loved to make some desserts and delicacies in my spare time. The ingredients were ready-made. These ladies must have never eaten them before, so it made me proud.

Jin Xuan'er took a bite and her eyes lit up: "So fragrant, so soft, so sweet, so delicious, everyone come and try it."

The ladies were not polite and the dish looked delicious. They each ate a piece and praised it highly.

The two sisters of the Xie family were too embarrassed to do anything, and their faces were full of disdain. Did they take the wrong medicine? To save face for a bumpkin?

There were still two left on the plates in front of them, and a lady named Zhu asked, "You don't want to eat them?"

He extended his hand without waiting for them to nod. If they didn't eat it, it would be a good bargain for him.

"What a dirty thing. Only people like you would want it."

Miss Zhu said angrily: "Who am I? Your family is just a winemaker, who are you looking down on? We are all the same. I don't know where your sense of superiority comes from?

If you have the guts, don't eat Miss Shen's snacks. Miss Shen, don't feed them to the dogs in the future. This is not how people behave."

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll take note. The two Miss Xies should also remember what I said today. From now on, whoever in your family eats my food is a dog."

Xie Roulan was so angry that she said something without thinking: "Isn't it just some food? Who cares? We in the Xie family will never eat your food in our lifetime."

Shen Nanzhi shrugged: "I hope you can keep your promise."

Miss Zhu ate both cakes, squinted her eyes in satisfaction, and moved closer to Shen Nanzhi, "Miss Shen, this dessert you made is really delicious. Can I ask the cook to come to your house and learn how to make it?

My family owns a restaurant and a teahouse, and I love to eat delicious food. I can’t change even if I’m so fat.”

Miss Zhu was indeed fat, and was about the same size as Shen Nanzhi at that time, except that she was not as tall as Shen Nanzhi. She was short and fat, like a meat dumpling.

As a result, she was often laughed at by the other girls, and some even nicknamed her "Little Pig Girl".

Shen Nanzhi has a natural affinity for fat people. Since we are all fat, no one should look down on anyone else.

It was rare to meet a chubby little sister, Shen Nanzhi liked her very much, "Sure, you are welcome to come anytime, do you know where my house is? It's the haunted house in the west of the city, I bought it."

"There? Are there any ghosts there?"

"No, it was just a rumor spread by the common people. I didn't have any money at that time, but I dared to live there even though there were ghosts. Sometimes poverty is scarier than ghosts."

Jin Xuan'er sympathized and said, "Miss Shen, it's not easy for you. Xiaomei and I will go to play with you."

"Okay, I'll make the bed ready for you."

The Zhu family runs restaurants and teahouses, so she can ask the Zhu family for help in promoting her drinks in the future. People's social circles are formed step by step, and Shen Nanzhi came to the banquet to make more connections.

After finishing the small cakes, everyone was still reluctant to eat more. They had no appetite for other snacks and looked at Shen Nanzhi with more eagerness.

It’s also nice to have delicious snacks while playing with Miss Shen.

The ladies who originally looked down on her became more enthusiastic towards her, and Shen Nanzhi suddenly became the center of attention among the ladies.

She was knowledgeable and could tell all kinds of interesting stories at will, which made the young ladies so stunned that they all called her Sister Shen and wanted her to chat with them, making her even more popular.

Xie Roujia was young and had a bad temper. Seeing how popular Shen Nanzhi was, she couldn't help but sneer, "A butcher can even enter my house. Drinking tea in the same yard with her, I can smell the smell of pig shit. How disgusting."

Xie Roulan couldn't stop him and pretended to apologize: "Miss Shen, I am young and outspoken. I believe you are magnanimous and won't mind, right?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind. I guess your Xie family smells like pig shit, so Second Miss Xie could smell it right away. It's amazing that she has such a sensitive sense of smell. But it's so sensitive that she will suffer in the future. Everything she smells smells like pig shit. This means she is sick and needs treatment!"

The two sisters of the Xie family looked very upset. "Mr. Shen, what are you talking about? You are so presumptuous. Do you really want to go against our Xie family? Believe it or not, we will make it impossible for you to stay in the county town. Go back to your hometown and sell pork!"
