046 Changes in the town
And in the last few days, there has been a lot of speculation about how much money their family has, but what reassures Chen Xiaoshu is that everyone still doesn't know that they went to the Guan Mansion to cook for Miss Guan and got a thank you gift, so everyone's guess about them is fifty or sixty taels.
Chen Xiaoshu and Aunt Laifu quickly boiled the high-quality sauce, put the sauce in the best wooden barrel and stored it, waiting for those franchisees to get it.
Presumably, in the past few days, they have also practiced the practice of sauce cakes and spicy soup at home, and on the fourth day, that is, the 10th day of the eighth month.
This is the time when everyone has agreed to start doing business together.
They had come and taken away the sauce the night before, and in the county and other towns, they had taken the sauce on the eighth day of August.
And they are not like the franchisees of Qingniu Town, they are close to Chen Xiaoshu's house, and they can come to buy sauces at any time, they are inconvenient to come and go, and they can only pull away dozens of catties at one time.
The residents of the town went out on the street on the 10th day of the first month of August, and unexpectedly found that the sauce cakes and spicy soup that had disappeared in the town for several days reappeared, and it was not just one.
There are two in the West Market, and there are one in the south, north, and east of the rest of the county, a total of five, and their sauce cake stalls all set up the signboard of Chen Ji sauce cake.
Originally, everyone thought that these companies were all impostors who made sauce cakes, but after buying it, it didn't seem to be like this, and the taste, well, was exactly the same as the original one.
Some curious guests asked to know what it was called a franchise model.
All in all, these sauce cakes with Chen Ji's signature are all inherited by the Chen family, and the sauce is boiled by the original owner.
The news spread in the town, and everyone went to buy it with confidence, especially those who lived far away from the West Market, who originally wanted to eat this sauce cake and had to go all the way to the West Market to buy it, but now it is okay, it doesn't take a few steps to buy authentic sauce cakes when you go out of the house.

Chen Linmu looked absentmindedly at Guan Luxin, who was sitting in the middle of the first row, but he didn't expect that this eldest young master would come to Qingniu Town Academy to study, and he would be a classmate with him.
Remembering that he was personally sent in by the dean just now, Chen Linmu was even more sure of his extraordinary speculation.
It's just that why this extraordinary young master came to Qingniu Town to study, he still doesn't know.
It's just that Chen Linmu's heart has always been half-hanging, for fear that what happened in Chen Linxiao's house that day would make him make a bad impression on Guan Luxin.
In this way, Chen Linmu was anxious all morning, and he didn't listen to anything that Mr. said, and he didn't read a single page of the book.
As soon as Mr. left at noon, he saw Guan Luxin put the books in the bookcase and left the classroom.
"Lin Mu, do you know him?"
Chen Linmu's classmate and friend Zhang Xiuze saw that Chen Linmu had been staring at Guan Luxin, so he asked.
Chen Linmu came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I don't know, how do you know the origin of this classmate?" ”
Zhang Xiuze shrugged and said: "I know a little bit about it, I heard my father say that the Guan family came to two distinguished guests from the provincial capital, and this Guan Xinguan classmate must be one of them." ”
Zhang Xiuze's family is also one of the most important landlords in Qingniu Town, so he has always had some dealings with the Guan family.
After Chen Linmu listened to his words, his heart thumped twice, this Guan Luxin was actually from the provincial capital.
The meaning of friendship under the heart is even greater.
Zhang Xiuze sorted out the books, patted Chen Linmu's shoulder and said, "Lin Mu let's go, let's go to lunch first." ”
As soon as they walked out of the door of the academy, they saw a stall not far from the door, and the signboard of Chen Ji Sauce Cake was hanging high, and there were already many classmates queuing up in front of the door.
Chen Linmu's heart hung in the twilight, and he secretly prayed in his heart that it would not be Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu.
Although the Great Xia Dynasty did not prohibit merchants from taking the imperial examination, the class division of Shinong and industrial and commercial enterprises still existed, and most of the scholars despised business, and they despised merchants who were full of copper stench.
Chen Linmu has always regarded himself as an heirloom of the Chen family in the academy, and has also won the favor of many gentlemen and classmates.
If they found out now that his own brother was doing these lowly businessmen, he would definitely be ridiculed in the academy.
Chen Linmu was uneasy, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only be dragged all the way to the stall by Zhang Xiuze.
When he saw a middle-aged couple working in front of the stall, Chen Linmu's heart was put into his stomach.
Zhang Xiuze said excitedly: "Lin Mu, you don't know yet, this is the original franchise store of the Chen family sauce cake in the West Market." ”
Chen Linmu looked confused and said, "What is a franchise store?" ”
This stopped Zhang Xiuze, in fact, he didn't know much about this form of joining, he just heard someone else say it, so he waved his hand and said: "In short, you just need to know that the sauce cakes here are authentic." ”
Chen Linmu frowned, he didn't understand how Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu would take the initiative to spread the money-making business.
He hasn't been home these days, so naturally he doesn't know about Sanhe Village.
When buying the sauce cakes, Chen Linmu pretended to be curious and asked the stall owner.
The stall owner simply explained to him the meaning of joining, Chen Linmu couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, he didn't expect Chen Linxiao, a sick man, to really start his business, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
Remembering that the stall owner just said that if you want to join, you must first pay a franchise fee of three taels of silver, Chen Linmu thought of the fact that his money has become tighter and tighter recently, and the private money he secretly saved is almost exhausted, and there is no money, how can he chant poems and exchange feelings with his classmates.
Chen Linmu made up his mind that he wanted to take the time to go back to Sanhe Village, but he didn't believe that with his own ingenuity, he couldn't let Chen Linxiao obediently take out the money.
If you don't treat yourself better now, you won't be afraid that you won't give him any benefits when the time comes?!
I have to say that the four brothers of the Chen family are actually very selfish people in nature, including Chen Linxiao's original body.
Before Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu crossed over, Chen Linxiao knew that Chen Xiaoshu was tortured in every way at home, but in order not to be kicked out of the house, he watched Chen Xiaoshu, who had been taking care of him, suffer, and never said a word for her.
Chen Linying boasted that he was the eldest son and the head of the Chen family, honest and taciturn on the surface, but he was very ruthless in his heart, turning a blind eye to what his wife and others did to Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu, and even silently connived.
Chen Linwei is like a piece of hob meat, mercenary and shameless.
As for Chen Linmu, this is a well-dressed beast, he only has his own future in his heart, and he has never cared about other people.
And the daughters-in-law of the Chen family can only say that one is more stupid than the other.
