Time flies, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Chen Xiaoshu has also changed from a fourteen-year-old girl to a sixteen-year-old girl, in the past two years, Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu's life has been quite peaceful, except for the people in the Chen family's old mansion who come to find trouble from time to time, and then leave with a disgraced face every time.

Chen Xiaoshu and the Guan family cooperated to operate the double fortune has now expanded to the province outside Guangjian Province, not to say that it is a daily income, but it is similar, at the same time, Chen Xiaoshu's own pickle shop in addition to the first year of the winter tepid, since the summer on a lot of new refreshing pickles, the business has been sesame blossoming, so far, Chen Xiaoshu has opened branches in various counties of Guangjian Province, and has reached cooperation with many restaurants.

In the past two years, it is not that no one has followed the trend of following their Chen Jiqiao lady, after all, it is not difficult to make some sauerkraut pickles, but Chen Xiaoshu's pickle shop has always had two advantages.

One is chili, pickles with spicy flavor, pickles, etc., has always been Chen Ji Qiao's lady's signature, other pickle shops racked their brains to figure out a variety of ingredients can not match Chen Ji's spicy taste, Chen Xiaoshu has also been very careful, every time before the dish leaves the factory, people will let people carefully pick out the chili pepper, so until now, people in the outside world only think that this spicy taste is made of a variety of spices.

The second is in production and operation, there is such a common sense, the larger the production volume, the lower the cost sharing, this is a virtuous cycle tube, Chen Xiaoshu can rely on his very low variable cost, the ex-factory price is lowered, have an advantage in price, and take the road of small profits and quick turnover, so in the past two years, Chen Jiqiao Niangzi Pickle Workshop has been very stable in the leading position of Guangjian Mansion.

Chen Xiaoshu's next plan is to open branches in other regions and even in Beijing.

At present, Chen Xiaoshu's most important task is to do a good job of logistics support for Chen Linxiao, so that he can successfully pass the county and government examinations.

That's right, in the winter of last year, they had a three-year filial piety period, and this year Chen Linxiao will be out of the imperial examination.

In the past two years, Chen Linxiao has been studying with Mr. Zhufeng, and naturally he has benefited a lot.

Chen Xiaoshu went to inspect the pickle factory, the current pickle factory has long been moved out of the Chen family, but built on a large open space near Nanguan Mountain in the village, covering an area of more than 30 acres, attracting villagers from Sanhe Village and several nearby villages to work.

By the way, I forgot to say that because of Chen Xiaoshu, most of the villagers in Sanhe Village worked in factories or pickle factories in Guanjia Village, and the entire Sanhe Village became rich and became the place where the little ladies from the ten miles and eight townships wanted to marry the most, and the little ladies who went out of Sanhe Village were also the most popular.

Coming out of the pickle shop, as soon as Chen Xiaoshu arrived home, Chun Niang came over.

"Why did you come here, didn't you embroider a dowry at home?"

Chen Xiaoshu motioned for her to sit across from him.

Chun Niang decided to marry last year, the other party is a small landlord in Wangjia Village, the family has more than 100 acres of land, if it was original, Aunt Li would never marry her daughter to such a family, the door is not right, Chun Niang's family used to suffer, but now the situation of the Li family is different.

Aunt Li herself works as a housekeeper in the factory in Guanjia Village, several brothers and sisters-in-law of Chunniang all work in Chen Xiaoshu's pickle factory, and a cousin is still the shopkeeper of the pickle workshop.

Chunniang's fiancé Chen Xiaoshu has also met, named Wang Chun, who is also studying in Qingniu Academy, speaking of which is still a classmate with Chen Linxiao, according to Chen Linxiao, this Wang Chun has no other shortcomings except for being usually dull and pedantic.

When it came to this family matter, Chun Niang couldn't help blushing, and shouted angrily: "Why are you here to make fun of me, now that Lin Xiao is out of filial piety, I see, you are about to round the house, and when the time comes, see how I make fun of you." ”

"Okay, then you can let the horse come." Chen Xiaoshu laughed as she spoke, joking, Chun Niang, an innocent little lady, still wants to compare herself as an old driver?

"By the way, I heard that they will take the exam for a whole day, and the weather is still cold now, I wonder if you have prepared a thick coat for Lin Xiao?"

Chun Niang looked at Chen Xiaoshu and asked.

Chen Xiaoshu suddenly laughed and said, "Where are you asking me here and I didn't prepare clothes for Lin Xiao, you obviously want to prepare clothes for Wang Chun." ”

Chunniang was poked in the heart, and she couldn't help but blushing and lowering her head.

Chen Xiaoshu saw that she blushed, so she stopped joking, after all, she was a thin-skinned little lady, compared with the group of rotten girls who had experienced a hundred battles in later generations, so she said: "I'm also thinking about this, although the county exam doesn't need to be taken all day, but it's still cold in February, and I don't know if there will be a stove in the examination room at that time, so I think I'll make one for Chen Linxiao in the next two days, or let's go together?" ”

"Okay." Chun Niang nodded happily and said, "Then let's go to the town to see if there are any suitable ingredients." ”

"Okay, let's go now."

Chen Xiaoshu put on the donkey cart as he spoke, and the two went to the town together.

Just after the New Year, there are still some remnants of the New Year's flavor in Qingniu Town, such as the red lanterns on the street and the lanterns in the hands of children.

"Eh, why don't we go directly to the leather store?" Chen Xiaoshu suddenly thought.

Chunniang hesitated for a moment, leather goods are not cheap, but thinking that she now has a private money, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look." ”

The leather shops in Qingniu Town are not large, and most of the local hunters sell the leather goods here, so they are mainly rabbit skins, dog skins, and pig skins.

One of the two little ladies who came to the shopkeeper was dressed and imposed, and he didn't dare to slack off, and said: "I don't know what kind of leather the two guest officers want to buy, if it's still cold today, it should be bought a leather goods, and it's not me who boasts, as long as the leather goods are well maintained, even if it is ten or eight years, it will not be bad." ”

"Then let's introduce it to the shopkeeper."

Chen Xiaoshu nodded and said.

The shopkeeper carefully took out a piece of fur from a camphor wood box and said, "Please see, you two, this is a wolf skin, in perfect condition, and it is completely enough to make a cloak for an adult man." ”

Chen Xiaoshu looked at it, the whole was gray and black, and he touched it with his hand, it was indeed thicker, and asked, "How much is this wolf skin?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, fifteen taels." ”

Chen Xiaoshu and Chunniang gasped when they heard this, fifteen taels is not expensive, but Chen Xiaoshu thought about it, in this era when there is no cotton, fur is indeed the most cold thing.

"Is there anything cheaper?" Chen Xiaoshu already had the idea of buying this fur in his heart, but he still asked first.

"Yes, yes, yes, please wait."

The shopkeeper didn't have any illusions that he would be able to sell this wolf skin at one time, so he nodded again and again.
