Chapter 168 Uncle Niu is also a wise man
Uncle Niu did not completely cut off contact with Widow Lin later on. After all, they were doing business on the same street and would see each other every day. It was impossible for them to be treated as enemies, right?
But there was no more ambiguity. Even towards an ordinary widow, he avoided suspicion and no longer met her alone to avoid gossip.
I have not yet paid back the money I spent after being taught a lesson by Shen Nanzhi last time. Uncle Niu has learned a profound lesson from him and I don’t even have money to go out for a drink with my friends.
Aunt Niu at home no longer cares about him. She only buys him clothes and jewelry and dresses him up beautifully. He is still worried, fearing that some strange man will seduce his wife. Doesn't he have to behave well?
But men all care about their reputation. Uncle Niu doesn't mind when Widow Lin takes advantage of him from time to time. After all, it will be embarrassing for him if they get into a fight.
This gave Widow Lin the illusion that Uncle Niu was still unable to let her go, but was afraid to be ambiguous with her because of the tigress at home.
Now, Uncle Niu was completely furious. Widow Lin could do whatever she wanted to him, but she could not bully Nan Zhi. Nan Zhi was not only his niece, but also his benefactor. Without Nan Zhi, the family would not have the good life they have now.
When Uncle Niu got angry, Widow Lin cried even harder, "Brother Niu, how could you say that to me? You treat me like this for a niece from another family? You are so heartless."
Shen Nanzhi watched the fun with his hands in his pockets. This woman is quite something, and she is quite good at being a green tea girl.
Uncle Niu got even angrier, "Don't call me big brother, I'm not your big brother, there's nothing between us.
I am ruthless, selfish, unreasonable, and I am not a human being. So next time you see me, please take a detour. Don't let me see you, or I'll beat you up.
Get away from me. If I don't scold you, you don't know who you are. Can you compare with my niece? You are also stirring up trouble between us uncle and niece. Oh, why didn't I realize that you are so bad before?
I have so much meat that I shouldn't have let you take it away shamelessly. You feed a dog and still think it can guard my house. You have no conscience at all."
Shen Nanzhi gave a thumbs up: "Uncle Niu, you finally got it. You are a real man. Remember to bring bones to our Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei is still wagging his tail at you. What kind of person is this woman? She eats your meat and scolds your family. Uncle Niu should have woken up long ago."
Uncle Niu was ashamed: "It's my fault, don't tell your aunt."
"That won't work. What if this woman goes to my aunt and talks nonsense? You should have told my aunt earlier and let her tear her apart. Let's see if she dares to act so arrogantly again.
If a couple talks about something, wouldn’t it hurt their relationship if it turns into a misunderstanding?”
"Oh, okay, I'll tell your aunt the truth, and we'll pack up and go home."
"Well, let's go. I'll make some shredded pork with Beijing sauce."
"What kind of dish is this?"
"It's delicious, you'll know when you try it."
The two of them left chatting and laughing. No one looked at Widow Lin. This woman could never take advantage of Lao Niu again.
It's your own fault. You are nobody, yet you still criticize someone else's niece. How dare you do that?
Widow Lin hated Shen Nanzhi to death. If it weren’t for her, her reputation wouldn’t be so bad!
……
Shen Nanzhi invited Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu's family to have dinner at her home. She cooked Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce and boiled pork slices, both of which were made with lean meat. Everyone liked them very much.
Children love Beijing-style shredded pork. They roll up the spring rolls and stuff them into their mouths like they are playing a game. Before they know it, the whole plate is gone.
Adults love boiled pork slices, which are fresh, spicy and go really well with rice. The broth is soaked in rice and eaten up.
The whole family was so full that they were full.
Zhang Zhi was also eating at home. He was very polite to Shen Nanzhi, showing some respect for his boss.
It was mainly because Mr. Yuan protected her, and Zhang Zhi also felt that he was her senior brother, so he didn't bother with her.
Shen Huai'en couldn't help but loosen his belt. He was too full after eating too much. He was not a greedy person, but he couldn't help but eat too much.
He stood up and stretched his body, "Nanzhi, go take a walk to help digest the food."
Zhang Zhi: "I'll go with you guys."
Shen Huai'en said calmly, "I just got the imperial examination essays from the year before last in my study. Do you want to take a look?"
"Yes, this is rare. I'll go and see it first."
After sending him away, Shen Huai'en was secretly delighted. It was difficult for him to take a walk with Nan Zhi alone. This Zhang Zhi was too tactless.
Shen Nanzhi didn't think much about it. Taking a walk after dinner is good for the body. "Let's go."
Shen Huai'en took the initiative to bring up the topic: "When do you plan to start selling your golden wine?"
"Wait until the sausage business is stable. With ready-made channels, it will be easier to sell wine. Did you really name it Golden Wine? Isn't it a bit vulgar?"
"No, the most vulgar is the most elegant, and the people all like good intentions. I think it's good."
“Okay, I still need a brewery. I just brewed some myself before to try it out, but I won’t be able to do it when it comes to large-scale production.
This requires not only money, but also a good winemaker, which I haven’t found yet.”
Shen Huai'en: "Leave it to me."
"You can?"
"I'm a man, I can't say no. As long as the girl wants it, I can make it happen."
Shen Nanzhi laughed: "Really? My Huai En is so amazing!"
Shen Huai'en didn't know what he was thinking about and his face turned a little red. Shen Nanzhi was amused by him, and thought he was very cute.
Shen Huai'en said again: "I want to borrow some people from you."
"Who is it? What talent of mine is there that you're worried about?"
"Your cousin, Shen Desheng, Ding Xiangrong, is a bit jumpy and easily drifts away. You have to suppress him and beat him up from time to time, otherwise it's easy for him to get into trouble.
Shen Desheng was familiar with him and they were from the same town. Young people loved to compete with each other, so letting them compete would put some pressure on Ding Xiangrong and give Shen Desheng a chance.
After all, Shen Desheng is your cousin, so it’s more reassuring to use it with someone from your family.”
Shen Nanzhi patted his shoulder happily: "I thought so before, but I just forgot. It's great that you thought of it. I will tell Desheng when I return to the village tomorrow. He will definitely be happy.
He definitely can't do it alone. The Shen family has many smart young people. Can I bring some more?"
"Sure. As long as they are willing to go out to make a living, I can help you get them out. The smart ones can negotiate business outside, and the honest ones can work in the winery or sausage workshop. They will all be busy."
Shen Nanzhi said: "I think the sausage workshop can definitely employ women. They are more careful and value job opportunities more. It doesn't necessarily have to employ men."
"It can be considered, but using men can open up the situation. When we go to a strange place, we must give benefits to others in order to gain a foothold."
Just like opening a factory, providing some job opportunities to local people will also help them be accepted by them and gain a foothold faster.
"You decide. I'm just making a suggestion."
The two discussed for a long time and made some arrangements. Shen Nanzhi felt that he and Shen Huai'en were very compatible. Shen Huai'en did not think some of his advanced ideas were shocking and would always consider them seriously. He was a careful and open-minded helper.
