Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but Ningbo Prefecture celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

But Zhenhai is different. Nowadays, there are many merchants in the southeast. I am afraid that half of them are from outside the country inside and outside Zhenhai County are from other places. Most vendors are carrying bamboo baskets filled with mooncakes on the street and shouting for sale at the wharf.

Early in the morning, there were many guests in the house, but the difference was that everyone would put down one or two bamboo baskets and leave in a hurry. The local specialties contained in them, including new rice bee cakes and taro heads, are must-eats for Ningbo people on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"The taste is good, it seems to be made of rice noodles, and there is also a red mark." Xiaoqi didn't care much about the mooncakes that everyone else thought were good, although Qian Yuan cooked them himself.

In fact, Qian Yuan didn’t eat it very much. After all, he used to give it to others with the mooncakes he sent from his unit in his previous life.

"Have you seen it?" Qian Yuan took the towel and wiped his hands, and said to the cook, "Just do this, do more, and give it to many families."

"Hey, don't use the model of flowers and full moons. This time I will use it to congratulate you on making a fortune!"

"Not vulgar, no vulgar, everyone who comes to the door... is expected to make a fortune!"

After leaving the kitchen, Qian Yuan took a new rice bee cake from the bamboo basket and tasted it, "Oh, the taste is really good, it tastes better than the mooncake."

"Yes." Xiaoqi wrinkled his nose proudly, and took one and stuffed it into his sister-in-law's mouth.

Qian Xiaomei swallowed it in a few bites and pulled Qian Yuan's clothes, "Second brother, there is a dragon boat race today!"

"Nonsense!" Qian Yuan was speechless. There was only dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival?

"It really is." Sister-in-law Huang smiled and said, "On the Mid-Autumn Festival in Ningbo Palace, there are dragon boat racing on the Yongjiang River. My younger sister was thinking about it last night."

Tsk, Ningbo Mansion is such a magical place, so unique!

Tan was also a little moved, "If you want to arrange something, bring more guards, let's go together?"

Qian Yuan swallowed another piece of new rice bee cake with his neck hard. Sorry, I'm busy today and I really don't have this time.

Looking at the little sister's expectant eyes, Qian Yuan thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, the Zhang sister is also in Zhenhai. I'll be invited to invite her over later. You guys go shopping together, and I won't go."

"Second brother, where are you going?" The little girl looked at Qian Yuan suspiciously, and gave Xiaoqi a wink from the corner of her eyes.

"Qi Yuanjing has a thief heart but no courage. My brother, I have a thief heart, but no courage!" Qian Yuan glared and explained: "The fleet that went to Nanyang came back yesterday, so I have to go and have a look."

He looked at his sister-in-law who was obviously dressed up and looked at him again... Well, my mother also applied her pink. Qian Yuan emphasized and said, "This fleet has many acquaintances. If you don't go and see it, you really can't rest assured."

Xiaoqi was still eating the new rice bee cake, and Tan and Huang were all focused on the little sister.

"The second brother just go, let's go with the Wang sister to watch the fun." The younger sister smiled and said, "There are many acquaintances... Ningbo Mansion will only celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow. This time I came to Zhenhai and brought a chef. Why don't I have a banquet tomorrow?"

Qian Yuan reached out and touched his little sister's bun, "You are so clever... it depends on whether they are willing to come."

It’s hard to say, father and brother come to the door openly... There is a possibility, but there are risks.

While she was talking, Xiangling came to report and another guest came to the door. When Qian Yuan went out to see, his face was filled with smiles.

"Mr. Zhou's arrival is really bright."

"I dare not, but I dare." Zhou Fu, the head of the Zhou family, a wealthy family in Ningbo, bowed and smiled: "It's just some new rice bee cakes, made by my little girl, and sent them to Longquan Gong to try."

Xiangling, who was pouring tea, couldn't help but curl her lips. Before her sister could be settled, someone actually sent her daughter to her house.

"Mr. Zhou is so polite." Qian Yuan smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit. "Xiangling, hurry up, why don't you go and get two boxes of mooncakes."

"this……"

"Oh, it's a matter of courtesy." Qian Yuan laughed.

Zhou Fu was only 40 years old and smiled and said softly: "Donald Longquan is famous all over the world, and the cold house is really simple."

"Why are you talking about the simplicity of the five fronts and backs?" Qian Yuan said with gratitude: "If Mr. Zhou hadn't been so glad that his family had moved here, Qian would really not know what to do."

Yes, this mansion was lent from the Zhou family. It was said to be borrowed, but in fact it was a gift from the sale. Qian Yuan moved in without any hesitation.

"Duke Longquan..." Zhou Fu carefully tentatively: "Duke Jingchuan..."

Tang Shunzhi had fully accepted all matters of trading and going overseas. He had nearly 100 clerks and clerks under his command, and the forces of more than 500 rural soldiers under his command were directly under his command.

Unlike Qian Yuan’s thought, Tang Shunzhi was quite strict with the release of ships to sea, and only gave release documents after various verifications were passed... Qian Yuan was not very involved in this regard.

Although Qian Yuan and Tang Shunzhi fought side by side as early as the Chongde victory in that year, they had many contacts in Taizhou, and even Qian Yuan pushed Tang Shunzhi to the position of Ningbo Prefect... But Qian Yuan had to admit that the so-called "no desires" means strong.

Tang Shunzhi never thought he was Qian Yuan's man, and Qian Yuan did not have such extravagant expectations... Of course, this may not be the case in the eyes of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, and even the officials in the court.

Qian Yuan sighed and whispered: "Mr. Zhou also knows that the fact of business is not yet determined in the court. It was just because he had to pay tribute to Wang Zhi. Therefore, the main focus of the sea-marine fleet on Wang Zhi was on the front, and the southeast coastal companies waited for it."

Seeing Zhou Fu's anxious look, Qian Yuan added: "Besides, who asked your Zhou family to do such a mess? It is strictly forbidden to go to sea to load saltpeter on board. Isn't this a target for people to set up?"

"You don't know the temper of Mr. Jingchuan. It's useless for Qian to say it now..."

"Wait a minute, by the way, I'll teach you how to be good, transport some cotton cloth honestly, tea leaves to sea, and carry two ships of food on the way back." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "The great scholars in Jingchuan Gong, a gentleman in the world... can he deceive him by the way."

Zhou Fu nodded repeatedly and said yes, carrying two boxes of mooncakes with a smile on his face. It happened that Wang and Qi Jimei came to the door and there was another greeting.

Before leaving, Zhou Fu patted his chest and promised that the Zhou family on the bank of the river had built a small building, designed for the Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival.

"Sister, Yuan Jing, Jimei has been in the army all year round, why don't you move here?" Qian Yuan said casually: "Anyway, the place is very big."

"You have a way. There is a food garden in Hangzhou and a Sui Garden in Beijing. What is the name here?" Wang shook his hands and went straight to the backyard with anger.

Qian Yuan blew up, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his eyes fell like a sharp sword on the carriage that was about to disappear at the end of the road. "Can you know the Zhou family in Zhenhai, Ningbo after Mei?"

"I've heard of it." Qi Jimei nodded, "Marine merchants started their business. More than ten years ago, they were the world's dominant thugs. They only had more than a hundred thugs."

After a while, Qian Yuan turned around and asked, "I didn't ask yesterday, how about the battle a few days ago?"

"It's not bad, the old and new fights together, but there are not many beheadings." Qi Jimei shook her head, "Not as good as Brother Yunjiang."

Among the several guards standing beside him preparing to set off, Wang Yi and Peng Feng were fine. Liang Sheng, who was the most reckless, couldn't help but complain: "Brother Yunjiang... I really think he is a literati when I take a few sips of ink!"

"I have the intention to learn, so I'm better than you!" Qian Yuan slapped Liang Sheng on the back of the head.

More than a month ago, Qi Jimei and Yang Wenjun were promoted to guerrilla generals, and more than a thousand soldiers were divided into two units. They then recruited soldiers from Yiwu and Taizhou, and each formed their own troops. During this period, they have been fighting in turn to train troops.

Yang Wensheng was promoted to a guerrilla general and had a great status in the army. Qian Yuan had made up his mind to let him go as a military general. Later, Yang Wen asked Qian Yuan to give the name, which was named "Yunjiang".

It has to be said that the Qian family guards had hundreds of people, and Yang Wen was the one with the most talent for military command. In fact, Qian Yuan didn't know that Yang Wen was a famous anti-Japanese general in history. Later, he followed Qi Jiguang to Fujian, went north to Jimen, and became the deputy general of Jimen, and was Qi Jiguang's deputy.

"Don't go out during this period." Qian Yuan whispered, "It may be useful to you."

Qi Jimei grinned, "Okay."

After reminding me of everything, Qian Yuan was about to go out, the carriage that the Zhou family came to pick up people had arrived. Six carriages came, all of which were tall and big, the windows of the carriage were carved in detail, and the servants were even dressed neatly.

Qian Yuan simply stopped and watched Tan, Huang and Wang's female family get into the car, and sent another team to accompany him to protect him.

"Oh, the servant is here, why bother Zhou is here?" Qian Yuan unexpectedly saw Zhou Fu coming again.

"The family members of Longquan should naturally be more thoughtful when traveling." Zhou Fu turned his head respectfully and only asked the female members of the family to serve on the bus.

Watching the carriage go away, Qian Yuan rolls over the horse, shakes the whip in his hand, and says, "It seems familiar."

Peng Feng was speechless and Wang Yi was cautious, only Liang Sheng couldn't help asking: "Young Master, did you know the Zhou family before?"

"I don't know." Qian Yuan clamped his legs and walked forward, "But..."

It was vaguely heard in the wind, "It's quite like the one named Jin."

Wang Yi couldn't help but look back at the house that was five inches. For some reason, the more he looked, the more he looked like Hangzhou Food Garden.
