When Lei Zi and Qian Heitan came, they were driving the Tianfu carriage, and when they went back, they wanted to hire a substitute car, but because it was late and the city gate was about to be closed, no one wanted to go out of the city.

The two didn't care, they took a big stride happily, but they returned to the village after half an hour, the mat in the courtyard of the Zhang family had already been removed, except for a few little daughters-in-law to help wash the dishes, there was no one else, and there was only one of them in the Zhao family house, and the two reported the matter, took out the reward and put it on the table, and said with a smile, "This is the reward money given by Tianfu, we can just take it back." ”

Zhao Fengnian pushed the reward back again, "The Tian family rewarded you, you can take it, you don't have to hand it over." ”

Lei Zi and Qian Heitan waved their hands together, they took the Zhao family's generous salary, ran errands, and it was their duty to go to the city to deliver letters, how could they even leave the reward money together?

Rui Xue smiled and picked it up and stuffed it into their hands, "Take it all, go to the city, and walk back in the dark, this is hard-earned money, the sisters-in-law are about to give birth, keep it for the child to buy some small things." ”

Lei Zi and Qian Heitan glanced at each other, in fact, they also secretly touched this reward seal countless times along the way, weighing that there were two taels of silver in it, which was two thousand dollars, enough for three or four months of money at home, but they were simple by nature and did not want to hide the past with a clear conscience.

The old couple of the Yun family saw that their son came back with such a windfall, and under the inquiry, they all had a smile on their faces, and sighed that it was too wise to befriend the Zhao family at the beginning, the Zhao family is definitely not an ordinary family, just send a letter for them, and they can get a reward of two taels of silver, and I don't know how many benefits there will be in the future? As long as their family really thinks about and does things for the sake of the Zhao family, they will not be treated badly.

Lei Zi's daughter-in-law looked at the red reward on the table, and smiled from ear to ear, holding her stomach with both hands, and sighed that the unborn child was a blessed one, and the child's father had such a good errand, if she went to the workshop to do a job in the future, the life of the family would be sesame blossoming, and the days would be high.

The Qian family and his wife in the south of the village are also thinking about adding some cotton fabrics, sewing bedding and clothes for their children, changing new reed mats, and even adding a sturdy large cabinet, and they also have a sleepless night.

On the other hand, the Zhao family, the atmosphere is a little delicate, Wu Yu was sent to Zhang's house to sleep early, Zhao Fengnian sat on the kang and peeked at the busy Ruixue from time to time, thought about it for a long time, and then said, "Well, I didn't read that letter!" ”

Rui Xue glanced at him, nodded, and continued to be busy, with a faint look on her face, she couldn't tell whether she was annoyed or not caring, which made Zhao Fengnian grind his teeth secretly, a woman's heart, and a needle under the sea.

Rui Xue actually didn't care about that love letter, after all, her body contained the soul of a modern person, and someone loved her man, which means that she has a good vision, besides, Tian He's kind of lady, writing a love letter is already the most daring thing, and it is more out of line to snatch or live or die to be a concubine, she doesn't dare, even if she has this plan, the Tian family can't allow it, since this is the case, there is no threat to her, and she naturally doesn't have to take it to heart.

However, Rui Xue didn't plan to give Zhao Fengnian a good face, after all, he didn't trust her the day before yesterday, and today he provoked the rotten peach blossoms behind, if he treats him like the same as before, I'm afraid he will develop a habit and think that she is so bullied.

The reason why she was silent was because the neighbors who came to help in the village just now talked about what kind of food was planted in the field, and she suddenly found that she was busy these days, and she actually forgot an important thing, that is, the raw materials for making tofu, cow beans, have not yet been arranged to plant and purchase, and every household is about to start farming, and I don't know if it will be in time? If the raw materials are reduced, it will directly affect the business of the workshop.

While twisting her wet hair with a cotton towel, she frowned and thought, should she spread the news and buy it with silver money in the autumn, or should she buy the land and plant it herself?

When she came back to her senses, she found that she was sitting on the edge of the kang, and the cotton towel was in Zhao Fengnian's hand, he was clumsily helping her wipe her hair, seeing her look over, she stopped a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Well, it hurts you, then I'll light it again." ”

Rui Xue nodded, and immediately turned her head, but her stomach was secretly laughing so that her intestines were knotted, no wonder in her previous life, I always saw that those girls often liked to play a little temper and eat a little vinegar, it turned out that watching men pay attention was such a sweet and interesting thing.

Zhao Fengnian saw her body trembling, and thought she was cold, so he hurriedly pulled her on the kang, pulled the quilt over her lap, and was quite careful, tucked and tucked, this time Ruixue couldn't hold it anymore, giggled, but made Zhao Fengnian inexplicable, shouldn't women be angry and cry when they are jealous, why is his wife so different, is she too angry?

"Xue, I really didn't even look at Miss Tian's letter, I forgot what she looked like."

This is the first time Zhao Fengnian has called Rui Xue's name, not the blunt and alienated Qin, not the Rui Xue called by friends and relatives, just one word, Xue, read it in his low and gentle baritone, which is very pleasant to the ear.

Rui Xue's heart was soft, and she finally didn't want to see him anxious anymore, so she took his hand and replied softly, "Runzhi, I'm not angry..."

Zhao Fengnian's body stiffened, a touch of shame appeared on his face, and he whispered for a while, "My real name is Fengnian, Zhao Fengnian, because the year I was born was a rare harvest year in Wuguo, everyone was happy, and the emperor even ordered the national celebration for three days, and my father gave me this name, Runzhi... I started it before. ”

"So, I've been married to you for half a year, and I don't know your name, it's too much..."

Zhao Fengnian took Ruixue's warning again and again in his heart, and when he heard her tone fade again, he hurriedly interrupted, "This can't be the second thing!" ”

Rui Xue was moved by the anxiety in his eyes, and smiled slightly, "Have you heard of Rui Xue Zhaofeng Nian, this sentence?" ”

"Nope." Zhao Fengnian shook his head, he didn't know where she heard the strange words, but he coincidentally wrapped the names of their husband and wife.

This is a common saying in my hometown, which means that heavy snow in winter is auspicious, and it is a sign of a good harvest the next year, and my name comes from this saying. I didn't expect you to be called Zhao Fengnian, what a coincidence. ”

"No, it's fate." Zhao Fengnian remembered the previous half a year, and his face was full of wry smiles, "Without you, I would have died a long time ago." ”

Ruixue didn't want him to be too sad, so she told him what he had just considered, "Shopkeeper, when the yard is built, the tofu workshop should be opened, and a large number of cow beans will be needed at that time. ”

Zhao Fengnian heard her talk about business, so he moved the kang table between the two, spread paper and pen, and said while writing and drawing, "I thought about this a few days ago, buying land and planting cattle and beans, the input cost is too much, and the money at home is not enough for the time being, so it is better to spread the news and buy it at the price of two cents in the autumn." There is no need to bother too much to plant cow beans, and there are many wastelands on the edge of the village, as long as the diligent villagers open two acres, they can sell back one or two thousand wen in the autumn, and everyone will be happy. ”

Rui Xue nodded, "If you wait until the yard is built and the news goes out, and everyone goes to open the land, I'm afraid it's a little late, so it's better to talk to Li Zheng tomorrow." ”

Zhao Fengnian raised his hand and drew a simple map, then handed it to Rui Xue, and said, "In the entire eighteen cities of the Martial Kingdom, Lingfeng is only one of them, it is impossible for our Zhao family to open a workshop in every city, and the tofu recipe is simple, maybe one day I meet someone who understands pharmacology, and I have seen the cooking process, I can guess one or two." It's better to find a way to sell this recipe and grab the maximum profit. ”

Rui Xue frowned, she didn't want to hold the tofu recipe in her hands for the rest of her life, but if she sold it so early, if it was passed on to ten, ten to hundred, everyone knew it, and the business of the workshop was probably going to drop to the bottom, "Shopkeeper, how do you want to maximize profits?" ”

"Profit maximization?" Zhao Fengnian heard this word freshly, and couldn't help repeating it, but he didn't delve into it, and said with a smile, "Spread the news of the harvest of cow beans far away, it is best for people to plant in the eighteen cities, if the people don't believe it, you can sign a contract, send someone to bring silver to buy it in the autumn, and then rent a warehouse and put it in the local area..."

The more Rui Xue listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she couldn't help but say, "After the cow beans are harvested, you can sell tofu recipes, and the people who buy recipes have no raw materials, and they still have to buy beans in our Zhao family!" ”

Zhao Fengnian smiled and nodded, "In this way, in the half year before the autumn harvest, the tofu is still our exclusive trade, and after the beans are harvested, before the autumn harvest next year, the beans will be exclusively traded." If the secret recipe is sold for two hundred taels, the eighteen cities will be three thousand six hundred taels. The beans were taken back for two cents, and the beans were sold, and five hundred bags were collected in one city, and one hundred taels of silver were earned, which was one thousand eight hundred taels, and together they were, for a total of five thousand four hundred taels of silver. ”

"If the people who go to the cities to sell their children are more active, and the price rises again, the income will exceed six thousand taels, and the net profit will be more than six thousand taels except for the trivial use of silver. Five thousand taels! Ruixue looked at the last remaining figures, a little stunned.

A piece of tofu removes the cost of raw materials and labor, and the net income is four yuan, and how many years does it take to sell it to earn back five thousand taels of silver. And Zhao Fengnian just turned his brain, so he did it easily.

He used to say that his family was a businessman, she didn't take it to heart, he said to take over the tofu business, she was still a little worried and hesitant, at this time, it turned out that she had been sleeping next to a business wizard!

Zhao Fengnian saw her in a daze, and thought that she was reluctant to sell the tofu recipe, so he persuaded, "The business of the family's workshop will not be greatly affected in three or five years." If you like it, go into the city and buy a restaurant, which specializes in cooking with tofu, and the business will definitely not be bad. ”

Rui Xue came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Okay, let's open a vegetarian restaurant, I still have a lot of bean food to eat, and when the workshop is opened, I have to think about it." ”

The two discussed, talked a few more words, and then lay down and slept.
