At this time, Zhao Siniang suddenly remembered yesterday's promise, and hurriedly ran back to the hut and took out three gold leaves, and while stuffing them into Zhao Yuanniang's hand, she said: "Yesterday, I pushed the property that the old Zhao family should share with you, and I was embarrassed." This is my private money, and I will pay you a loss. ”

A gold leaf weighs about one tael, and one tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver. In other words, the three small leaves in Zhao Yuanniang's hands are equivalent to thirty taels of silver.

Zhao Sanniang had long known that Zhao Siniang had private money in her hands, and she guessed that when the two of them sold their son, Zhao Yongzhong, who felt sorry for the little girl, concealed part of the money under Zhao Siniang's flickering and secretly stuffed it into Zhao Siniang's pocket.

Those recipes were originally obtained by Zhao Siniang by her own good fate, and they completely belonged to Zhao Siniang. Therefore, even if Zhao Sanniang knew that her sister was always stealing private money, she only stabbed her twice, and she would not really object to it.

But seeing the gold at this time, Zhao Sanniang was still shocked. This morning, she vaguely heard Zhao Shilang tell Jiang that her little sister had a lot of gold in her hand, and she thought it was a bad listener, but she didn't expect it to be true. But if the shopkeeper Wang buys either a silver ticket or a cash bank, how can he give the gold?

"Siniang, where did all this gold come from?"

"This is what my master gave me!" Zhao Siniang knew that such a big bag of gold couldn't hide it from her family, so she was arrested by Zhao Shilang yesterday? Since she couldn't hide it, she simply took it out to make a clear way, and she didn't have to sneak around if she wanted to buy something with the money in the future.

"Your master?"

Zhao Siniang nodded, as if there was something true: "Yes, my master heard that I was having a hard time at home, and I even wanted to eat a snack for a long time, and I couldn't bear it." So I asked someone to bring me some pocket money from Ningguo, and told me to buy whatever I wanted to buy, and don't worry about being looked down upon by others! ”

When Zhao Sanniang heard this, she endured it and endured it, and when she was about to do so, she still rewarded Zhao Siniang with a big white eye.

However, although Zhao Sanniang guessed that Zhao Siniang made up what she said just now, she believed that those gold leaves did come from Zhao Siniang's unbearable master. Otherwise. Who would give Zhao Siniang so much gold for no reason?

Zhao Yuanniang had already learned from Zhao Sanniang's mouth that Zhao Siniang worshipped an extremely great master and learned a lot of skills, and her family's shop was set up by relying on Zhao Siniang's craftsmanship. Now Zhao Siniang has an extraordinary status in her family. Almost all big and small things are decided by Zhao Siniang. If others heard that a little girl was so unbearable, they would definitely not believe it easily. However, Zhao Yuanniang immediately believed it, because of the comprehensive information, she had already vaguely guessed that Zhao Siniang had an extraordinary background.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanniang's eyes moved slightly. I felt a thousand tastes welling up in my heart. Soon, however, she collected a jumble of thoughts and pulled herself back to reality from her long memories.

Although she knew that Zhao Siniang had plenty of money, maybe these three golden leaves were really nothing to her. But Zhao Yuanniang understands very well that Zhao Siniang gave up her property on behalf of their mother and daughter completely for their sake, and she benefited from her, how could she accept her money in turn? So Zhao Yuanniang insisted on returning the gold leaf to Zhao Siniang.

Zhao Siniang sincerely persuaded: "Sister Yuanniang, when everyone has an emergency, you should think about your aunt if you are not for yourself." These three gold leaves are small and easy to carry. You and your aunt each have one or two pieces and hide them close to your body in case you need them. ”

When Zhao Yuanniang heard the word "urgent", her heart sank, and she finally accepted it.

Zhao Yuanniang knows very well that as long as their mother and daughter do not completely cut off the relationship with the old Zhao family for a day, their personal safety will not be guaranteed, and they may fall into that mud again at any time.

Whenever she thought of the tragic situation of their mother and daughter, she couldn't hold back her grief and indignation.

No way! She can't sit still! We must not wait until a catastrophe strikes to be rescued in a hurry. She had to plan ahead. In the old Zhao family, especially before her wolf-hearted beast father made a move, cut off all potential threats.

Zhao Yuanniang clasped her hands together and clenched the gold. Secretly determined.

Seeing that Zhao Yuanniang was willing to accept it, Zhao Siniang was also greatly relieved. Although she made the decision to let Zhao Yuanniang's mother and daughter go out of the house to better protect them. But the property they deserved was indeed handed over by her to the old Zhao family, and when she thought of this, she still felt very unhappy. Therefore, she willingly compensated their mother and daughter for peace of mind.

After fulfilling yesterday's promise. Zhao Siniang, who was at ease, began to desperately brush her favorability in front of her second sister again, so she hurriedly picked up tweezers to deal with the long-lost pig's trotters.

Since Zhao Siniang told her family the trick of removing pig hair, she rarely cleaned these things by herself. After the new shop opened, she used the excuse that the kitchen work was too heavy, her back hurt and her hands and feet were weak, so she pushed all these jobs to Zhao Sanniang and them, and she didn't even touch them.

Now when I got started, my actions were very rusty, not only did I not please Zhao Sanniang, but I caused a blank slap in the eye.

Zhao Siniang, who was thick-skinned enough, didn't care at all, and continued to pretend with tweezers in hand.

Speaking of this tweezer, now she has more than one handful, not only three in the shop, but even the Jiang family has one.

The one of the Jiang family was not for the Yang family, but Jiang Hua, who was sick in bed, deliberately wanted to go over.

To say that Jiang Hua is also an idle master, he couldn't lie down anymore after lying in bed for less than ten days, and began to rack his brains to find a job. First, he selected soybeans for his family, and then he took care of the work of handling the pig's head. Originally, he wanted to deal with the pig's trotters and pig's tail by the way, but everyone was afraid that they would tire him, so they stopped him.

Not to mention, with Jiang Hua's help, the work of dealing with pigs has become easier.

Now there is only a pot of pig's trotters and pig's tail in the shop that needs to be disposed of, as for the pig's intestines and pig's lungs, Yang is afraid that the people in the shop will leak out the treatment methods, so he still insists on pulling them back to Jiang's house for processing.

Zhao Sanniang saw that Zhao Siniang hadn't even finished dealing with a pig's trotter, so she stopped there and didn't move, and couldn't help but snort heavily.

Hearing Zhao Sanniang's cold snort that was obviously accusatory, Zhao Siniang hurriedly explained: "Second sister, I'm not lazy, I'm worried about our shop!" ”

Zhao Sanniang said curiously: "What's there to worry about?" Didn't you say yesterday that you would open a tofu shop? ”

"That...... Tofu Shop ......"

Zhao Sanniang saw Zhao Siniang's stumbling appearance, and her heart was alarmed, and she hurriedly said: "You can't change the hexagram!" Okay, let's open a tofu shop! ”

Yesterday, I didn't get anything at Lao Zhao's house, and Zhao Sanniang was very unhappy. is holding his breath and planning to open a tofu shop to rob Xu Ji's business. At this time, Zhao Siniang actually wanted to regret it, but she was the first to refuse!

In fact, yesterday, Zhao Siniang just casually proposed to open a tofu workshop, without careful consideration in advance. Now that she calmed down and thought about it again, Zhao Siniang found a soy product business that seemed familiar. There are still many thorny problems in order to really operate, which also involves self-interest.

Zhao Siniang kneaded all aspects and said: "First of all, there is a problem of manpower. Since we want to use a shop with a market value of at least 600 taels to open a tofu factory, we must not make a fuss like now, and we must produce it in a serious way. There are three hardships in the world's industry: supporting the boat and striking iron. Grind tofu. Second sister, you are making soy products every day, and you must have realized how tiring this work is. Now we just got a small window to sell, and we are already so tired that people are turning over on their backs, where can we spare people to do the part of the shop in the town? Not only that, while we are busy with Zhao's shop's business, we also have to step up preparations for the construction of a duck farm, so we have no energy to run a tofu factory! ”

Zhao Yuanniang hurriedly volunteered: "Isn't there still me and my mother?" Let's do it! ”

"The work in the tofu workshop is not something that two weak women can do! Although it is possible to grind beans with a donkey instead of manpower, there are still many processes in the process of making soy products that are extremely laborious and need to be completed by men with great strength. Zhao Siniang saw that Zhao Yuanniang couldn't help. With an apologetic look on his face, he hurriedly said: "I know that Sister Yuan Niang and Aunt Yuan are very good at cooking, so I want you to open a pastry shop on the second floor of the shop." ”

"Pastry shop?"

Zhao Siniang nodded and said, "Not bad." There are also many pastry shops in Changle Town, but in my opinion, none of them are doing well. Although there are one or two signature pastries with exquisite ingredients and exquisite workmanship, it is just a good look, and the taste can only be regarded as average. With the same variety of pastries, I am confident that I can make them better. What's more, my master also taught me several ingenious dim sum, and I dare not say that in the entire county. At least in Changle Town, it can be called unique. The newly opened shop may not be able to be a customer, but the business is certainly not to worry. ”

"The toad yawns—what a big breath!" Zhao Sanniang muttered in a low voice.

However, although Zhao Sanniang was not convinced, she had to admit in her heart that Zhao Siniang was very good at making pastries. She had always thought that Qingfenglou's dim sum was the best dim sum she had ever eaten in her life, but if she could pick from the various pastries that Zhao Siniang tossed out a few days ago. You can throw the dim sum of Qingfeng Building out of several streets. What's more, those pastries were made the day before, so the taste is even better if you want to make them freshly.

Zhao Sanniang really thinks that the idea of the unreliable little sister is quite reliable.

I only heard Zhao Siniang continue: "A few days ago, I made almost all the pastries I could make, so I was able to calculate their costs more accurately. I've found that the profits of pastries are much higher than those of soy products. Since the pastry shop makes more money, why bother to open a tofu factory? It's just just two of you, but if you start a small-scale pastry shop. It should not be a problem. ”

When Zhao Yuanniang heard this, she hurriedly held Zhao Siniang's hand. Since yesterday noon, she has been very confused, not knowing where the future lies. Although I don't know if this pastry shop can run well, it provides the mother and daughter with an opportunity to clear the fog and see the way forward. She was so grateful that she didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhao Siniang liked this feeling of being grateful very much, and smiled very happily. Then she struck while the iron was hot and discussed with Zhao Yuanniang how to renovate the shop on the second floor.

"There is a pastry shop on the second floor, but what about the first floor?" Zhao Sanniang, who was left to dry, brutally broke the incomparably harmonious atmosphere.

Based on Zhao Siniang's abnormal performance, Zhao Sanniang would not be naïve to think that this "profiteer" would leave the first floor for her to open a tofu shop that was not very profitable.

Sure enough, Zhao Siniang coughed lightly twice, and said with a flattering smile: "Second sister, you also know that in addition to Hengyuan cloth shops on South Street, there are also two other cloth shops. It's just that their goods are not very neat, and the location is a little biased, and the business is far from being as good as Hengyuan Cloth Company. Now that Zhang Ji Cloth Company has finally put Hengyuan Cloth Store away, he wants to do a big job and add a semicolon specializing in silk and satin. The first choice for the location of the semicolon is, of course, our shop. Not only because our shop is located at the corner of the street, but also because Hengyuan Cloth has been gaining a firm foothold on South Street for several years, and many old customers have recognized it. In addition, Shopkeeper Feng was in a hurry, and the shelves and counters inside were not taken away, and then it was better to open a cloth shop. ”

Seeing Zhao Sanniang's dissatisfied, Zhao Siniang swallowed her saliva and said stubbornly: "When I went to Zhang Ji Cloth Store to buy fabrics yesterday, Zhang's shopkeeper said that he was willing to rent the first floor of our house at a high price of eight taels of silver per month. Eight taels of silver, that's really the highest price among the high prices! The grocery store facing our shop is much larger than the first floor of our house, but I heard that its rent is only five taels of silver. Second sister, you talk about this kind of good thing sent to the door, why do we want to push it out? (To be continued.) )
