By the time the seafood restaurants of Grandma Qin and Mrs. Kong were renovated and ready for business, the fishermen in the fishing village had already gone to the deep sea for the third time. However, Erya shuttled back and forth on the east coast and was lucky to meet a master who raised silkworms.

This person is none other than the person who failed to open up wasteland, plant trees, and raise silkworms on Qujiaao. At the beginning, he relied on picking up the cocoons of wild silkworms and weaving cloth, and then raised a large number of silkworms by himself, and sold the products of the silkworms to Dongying and other merchants from overseas, although the price was not as high as that of silkworms, but it was several times more than cotton. He started his family by relying on silkworms, and he was respected as the head of the family by relying on his excellent silkworm raising skills.

Under the lure and confusion of encouraging development in the western region, not collecting taxes within five years, and not charging land prices for land reclamation, he took a large amount of money to plant a forest in Qujiaao, who would have thought that it would fail in the end! Because he lost too much, most of the family members were very dissatisfied with his wrong choice. He was also arrogant, and without waiting for others to say it, he proposed to relinquish the position of head of the family. Then he went out of the house and looked around to check the living environment and growth of wild silkworms, until he was found by Erya on the hill on the east coast.

Erya and other fishermen who went to sea came back in their spare time, wandering on the nearby mountain, and found that there was a small squeezing forest on the mountain, and the squeezing tree was already crawling with silkworms. She searched the distance again, and finally found a small shed, and the old man who lived in it.

As soon as Er Ya said Qu Jiaao's squeezing forest, the old man interrupted Erya's words with a smile: "The squeezing forest that the girl said." Little Lao'er knows. It was planted by Xiao Lao'er more than ten years ago, and then the silkworms were raised for several years without success, so they were abandoned. ”

Er Ya heard the old man say that the squeezing forest she was making up her mind was his. A hint of embarrassment flashed in my heart. However, there was no change on his face, but he pretended to be surprised and smiled: "Ah! Is it your old man? What a coincidence. Last year, too, I went to look at the wasteland, and I was going to find the woods when I was clearing them. The forest is growing well, so I thought it would be a pity to leave it like that, and I wanted to find a master to teach Qu Jiaao someone to raise silkworms. I heard Mayor Qu talk about you, but I didn't expect to see your old man here. ”

The old man bowed his head and sighed. After a while, he looked up again and said, "Xiao Lao is also because of the failure of raising silkworms in that place, so he ran around to see what went wrong." It's been less than three years since we got here. Girl, are you really going to hire someone to raise silkworms there? ”

Er Ya frowned, this old man would rather find the reason elsewhere than go back to study, but he was afraid that there would be no silkworms in that place. She nodded and replied to the old man: "I want to ask someone to raise it, but a veteran like you can't say it's okay." I'm a little bit of a back-off! ”

But the old man had a plan in his heart: "If the girl really wants to use that piece of wood." Little Lao'er is willing to follow you. It's just that the little old man can't afford a penny, and the little old man can't afford to lose the money. ”

Erya bowed to the old man in surprise and replied, "It's okay! You don't have to spend half a penny, I will bear all the costs. And the forest still belongs to your old age, and you will have to give your old share if you get it. ”

The old man really wanted to turn over on the spot where he fell, so that the family could see that his original choice was not wrong, but because he really had no economic support, he had to fight guerrilla elsewhere. While raising silkworms to find out the reasons for the initial failure, while earning some capital. At present, I have this good opportunity to put in front of my eyes. He is not a fool and naturally will not give up.

There is no overlord in this seafood way, and the local county order was also cut by the emperor, and the newly sent magistrate turned out to be Qian Zhongyun. Xiaolong's evaluation of him is quite high, and Erya is of course relieved of him. There is no problem here, there is no need for Erya to do anything more, and he happened to meet the master of raising silkworms, Erya couldn't stay in the capital, so he also planned to hurry back to the west.

Mrs. Kong Liu finally made money, and even some rich families came to eat seafood in horse-drawn carriages. Dozens of taels of silver a day were easily credited to the account, and the smile squinted at the sky. At this time, I heard that Erya was leaving, and I was reluctant. With Erya pointing by the side, she felt that her guts were fatter than usual, and when Erya was not there, she felt inexplicably timid. "Isn't Hengtai's brother already going back?! It's okay to have him over there, so you can play here for a few more days! I'm in business! As soon as I leave you, I don't feel at ease in my heart. ”

"Auntie! I've been here for too long, and there's a lot of work he can't do alone. Your business! You can ask Ah Jing to help, and you don't need her to show up, just help you manage the account room in the back. ”

Erya didn't expect that the tent food stalls that the nobles would definitely look down on in the eyes of the nobles would also have nobles coming by carriage or horseback. They all like to give tips, and this reward can't be completely given to Xiao Er. Erya asked Mrs. Kong Liu to put it away first, and then divided the reward into points, Xiao Er has it, and those who work hard to wash vegetables, wash dishes, light the fire, and cook should all have it. Because these reward distribution systems have been explained in advance when hiring Xiao Er, Xiao Er readily agreed because he saw that there would be no nobles coming over to such a tent. It's just that after doing business for a period of time, there are more and more nobles, and the income from rewarding money is accumulating higher and higher. Mrs. Kong Liu wanted to give the reward to Xiao Er according to the practice of other people's junior two taking rewards, but Er Ya prevented her from backing down.

When she helped Mrs. Kong Liu hold a meeting with all the staff, she only asked the juniors a few questions: "If the back kitchen gives you a plate of clams with sand, will the guests give you a reward?" If the seafood soup served to you by the back kitchen was salty and dead, would the guests still give you a reward? If a guest wants to eat cooked seafood, but the kitchen gives you raw seafood, will the guest still give you a reward? ”

The little two immediately sobered up, if they gave a reward like that, they would be directly on the big stick! Although they don't make a fuss, Erya feels that their own family members still have to be in charge of their daily business and rewards. Although Mrs. Kong Liu is shrewd, when she encounters a large number of customers, she is easy to get excited, and her work is a little chaotic. Erya actually wanted to suggest that she let Ah Jing take care of it in the account room, but big families always like to do anything to be married, so they have to hide in the boudoir and can't see people. Now it's time to bring up the conversation, let Ah Jing come out a day earlier, and when she enters the door of the Wang family in the future, she can share part of the burden for her to bear.

Mrs. Kong Liu really didn't want Ah Jing to come out to help, although she didn't have to help in the front, she only kept accounts and collected money in the back account room, but it was not good to say. But now that her sister-in-law has proposed it, she can't stop her daughter from coming over for any reason to be married.

"Her sister-in-law! Your royal family doesn't care about getting married to do business? ”

Erya smiled and shook her head: "In our Wang family, if we wait until we get married and then learn to do business, we will be a big step behind others." When Ah Jing has the opportunity to return to her hometown, she will find that the daughters-in-law of our Wang family are talking about doing business one by one, that is, the men have to step back three feet to not collapse in front of the women. ”

Mrs. Kong Liu laughed, although she had only been in business for two or three months, if someone really wanted to talk to her about business, she could also talk about one, two, three, four.

Erya then said to Mrs. Kong Liu, who was very happy: "Ah Jing will be an official in the future and cannot directly participate in the business, but she must understand the twists and turns, otherwise she will not be able to keep any big family business in the future." And this is best to know before getting married, and when I marry my brother, I'm afraid I won't have that opportunity. ”

"Hey! Right, right! Then listen to you, and talk to her when you get back in the evening! ”

Ah Jing does have this time to come out to do things, her dowry has already been prepared, although she still has to add some to coincide with the dowry of the Wang family, but there is no need for Ah Jing to worry about it, and she has her own public middle school to make up for it. In a few months, she will be able to come up with a lot of money to buy some for her daughter.

When Ah Jing heard that her mother asked her to go out to help the family's business, her face turned white with fright: "Mother! How can a married woman go out to do business? If this is known, there may be some gossip! Can a daughter still marry the Wang family? ”

"You kid, it seems that the Wang family is more nervous than me! This is not what I said, it was your sister-in-law who mentioned it, she said that her family has a lot of business, if you don't understand anything, there will be no way to manage the house in the future. Your future husband has to concentrate on being an official, and you have to take care of some things in the backyard and outside. Although there are special people to help you, you have to understand, if you don't get involved in it, there are some twists and turns, you won't understand. If you encounter a bad shopkeeper fooling you, you can't find out in time, and the longer it takes, the greater the loss. I also listened to what she said, so I agreed that you should go to the seafood steak to practice your hands first. ”

Ah Jing heard that it was her sister-in-law who mentioned it, although her heart was relieved, but she began to be afraid that she would not be able to do business again. Her mother comforted: "What are you afraid of? I don't want you to come forward to deal with the guests. The money for each table has Xiao Er who has calculated the money on the list according to the table number and takes it back and hands it to you from the window. If a noble man gives a whole piece of silver, and the rest is a reward, you only need to separate the reward money and put it in the reward box. Then it is to put away the list, and write down the table number, cashier, and reward money on the account book, how simple it is! I can do it, can you still do it? ”

I never knew that my mother was still so strong, it was really a rich bear man!

"Then I—I'm going to try?" Ah Jing was not very willing to return to her mother. However, she also knew that she had to pass this hurdle. Although the Wang family's property did not deliberately inquire, it is said that most of the dowry is produced by the Wang family, so you can get a glimpse of it. Since the sister-in-law said that she had to take care of business matters after passing the door, it means that the sister-in-law did not exclude her, and she should be happy. (To be continued.) )
