The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

 Chapter 24 Cooperation

Mrs. Yang was talking in the main room. When she heard her little daughter calling her, she raised her head and asked, "Ah Rong, what's wrong?"

Yang Siniang panted heavily, crossed her calves, and whispered in a soft voice: "Mom, let Uncle Tao help A Jin's family move the sacks, so that I can have candied haws to eat."

Mrs. Yang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You kid..."

Aunt Zhang, the steward, also laughed, "Madam, how about asking Tao Hai to help?"

Mrs. Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's not because the children are greedy. They are all neighbors and we can help each other."

Aunt Zhang left the main hall and called the male servant who was sitting on the porch to bask in the sun to go to the door of Su's house to help.

Tao Hai stood up, patted his **** and left the courtyard without saying a word to help the Su family.

Su Ruojin didn’t expect that the little kid would call a laborer for him when he came home. He quickly stepped forward to be polite and was embarrassed to let others use force: "Uncle Tao..."

Unexpectedly, people ignored him, picked up the sack and moved it into the Su family's courtyard, as if it was effortless, light and easy.

Su Ruojin:…

Had no choice but to turn around and thank the fourth lady who came up to her, "Thank you A Rong."

Yang Siniang grinned, showing her neat millet teeth, and smiled happily, "I won't eat your new food in vain." She was also very arrogant.

 Haha, give her a dozen for such a little brat, it’s so cute, isn’t it?

Yang Siniang saw Su Ruojin smiling happily and asked softly: "We will be good friends from now on, right?"

"yes!"

Su Ruojin didn't expect that in just a short period of time, she would make a good friend and have her first best friend in the Dayin Dynasty.

“Then, will I be able to eat whatever new food your family has in the future?”

Su Ruojin:…

 Why does it feel like the little kid dug a hole for her to fall into? Hey, isn’t it just a new food? As long as she likes it, there’s nothing wrong with it.

“Okay, then we’ve settled on it.” Yang Siniang jumped several times happily.

 A quarter of an hour later, two carts of hawthorns were all moved into Su's house, and they were piled everywhere on the porch.

Su Ruojin kept her promise and brought Yang Siniang pressed hawthorn slices and a small jar of hawthorn sauce. "Eat this hawthorn slice directly. You can make tea with this hawthorn sauce or eat it directly. But for the sake of your teeth, Ah Rong, you still have to eat it." Make some tea."

Yang Siniang salivated and nodded repeatedly, "I'll listen to A Jin."

She held a small carton of hawthorn slices, and the little girl who served her held a jar of hawthorn sauce. The master and the servant ran home happily.

Su Ruojin smiled and went home to clean up.

　　Until everything was ready, Feng Wangtian formally introduced Li Zheng who came with him, "Master, this is Feng Pingshan Feng Lizheng, the chief official of our village."

Su Yanli handed over his hand and said, "For the sake of my daughter's business, you went to the capital in person."

 “Officials are polite…”

Feng Lizheng almost stuttered when he spoke, but luckily he managed to hold his nerve, but no wonder he was nervous and flustered. He was already a Jinshi or a high official at a young age, so he was not something ordinary people like them could look up to.

However, as Li Zheng, he came in person this time for a purpose. Seeing that the senior official was gentle and easy to talk to, he wondered if he would be kicked out when he made his request.

At this moment, Dong’s mother came back with Er Shi. When Er Shi saw his father arriving, he turned around with joy and hurriedly saluted Li Zheng.

Su Ruojin asked his father to greet Uncle Feng and Feng Lizheng, and he went to cook lunch with Mother Dong. Four dishes and one soup were large and delicious, and everyone immersed themselves in the meal. It wasn't until after eating and cleaning up that Su Ruojin was called to the main room by Brother Ershi.

In the hall, Su Yanli was accompanying Feng Lizheng. The two of them seemed to be talking about something. When they saw Su Ruojin appear, they both looked at her.

“Although these recipes are all made by me, the specific operations are the work of my eldest daughter, Ah Jin. If Feng Lizheng wants the recipe, he must ask my family, Ah Jin.”

Su Ruojin looked at Feng Wangtian.

He was so embarrassed that he lowered his head and rubbed his hands. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl in, but he had no choice but to bring back more than a dozen bunches of candied haws. When Satoshi saw it, he insisted on selling it. He said the recipe was He couldn't make the decision for the nobles in the capital, so he had to follow him. Unless he moved to another place, he, a small villager, would never be able to defeat the head of a village. He was really unworthy of the nobles!

Su Ruojin soon understood what Feng Lizheng meant. She did not rush to answer, but called Feng Ershi, "Do you think you can make money selling candied haws in your village?"

Feng Lizheng originally thought that it was outrageous to tell such a big thing to a six-year-old lady. Unexpectedly, the six-year-old lady actually asked Feng Ershi like a big shopkeeper. Feng Ershi was fifteen or sixteen years old. What could a yellow-haired boy understand when he first came out? , the high official is trying to prevaricate him.

 Feng Lizheng's heart felt cold.

Feng Ershi said succinctly, "Uncle Li Zheng, you can learn to make candied haws on a stick once you learn it. Everyone can do it, but it's not that easy to make money."

 Hey, since when did this kid speak so matter-of-factly?

Feng Lizheng raised his eyes: ...he wanted to ask, ‘Why is it not that easy? ’

 “The cost of sugar is high.”

Feng Lizheng: "Then we can sell it at a high price."

"This is something sold to children. If only the rich can afford it, how much can the rich have? Besides, they only eat fresh food. When they don't care about it anymore, we will sell so many hawthorns in Neishantun to who?"

 Feng Lizheng:…

 It feels like it makes sense.

"Then..." Unexpectedly, the trip was in vain, and Feng Lizheng's waist became stooped.

Su Ruojin smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Feng didn't run away in vain."

 What does it mean to run away in vain? Oh, he understood. On this trip, he could count as selling one or two thousand kilograms of hawthorn. He could indeed make a profit. He had made a profit. What about Neishantun? As an upright person, what's the point of just making a few taels of silver for yourself?

Su Ruojin kept smiling, "Uncle Feng, you really didn't run away in vain."

Afterwards, Su Ruojin talked with Feng Lizhengche for an entire afternoon and made a cooperation plan based on the specific amount of hawthorn in Neishantun and the situation of the villagers. They built a hawthorn workshop in Neishantun. The director of the workshop was of course Feng Lizheng. Feng Wangtian had learned how to make hawthorn from Su Ruojin. With the technology of hawthorn, he will serve as the technician and foreman, and Feng Lizheng will select the remaining operators. If he wants the workshop to last for a long time, he will find people who can actually work. If he only recruits his own seven aunts and eight aunts, the workshop will be Don't blame her if it doesn't last long and makes no money.

Of course Feng Lizheng hoped to make money after a hard trip to the capital. No matter what Su Ruojin said, he nodded in agreement and did everything she said.

 Neishantun has a source of income, and the Su family is freed from heavy labor. If it is managed well, it is really a win-win situation.

Feng Lizheng happily went back to his hometown to start a workshop. As soon as the workshop was completed, he called Feng Wangtian back to teach people how to make hawthorn products.

Feng Wangtian was very worried, "Second Madam, after the New Year, does anyone still want this thing?"

"You came out too late this year. You will start making and selling them as soon as they are harvested next fall. They will be sold out in one winter, and you won't wait until after the new year."

Feng Wangtian sighed with great pity: "I wish I had met the second lady earlier."

Have you met him early? Su Ruojin smiled secretly. If she had met him earlier, it would not be possible. Without the power to be the master of the house, he would have spent more than ten taels to buy three or two thousand kilograms of hawthorn.

 So, no matter what happens, it all depends on fate.
