"The Ding family's sesame sauce was beaten back by the palace?"

"Yes! This morning was the day of their delivery, and it is said that some sesame oil was left, and all the sesame paste was sent back. A lot of people have seen it!"

"Old man Ding also has today!"

"Mother-in-law, do we have a chance?"

"What's the chance? Haven't you tasted what the Ye family sells? That kind of clarity and mellow taste is definitely not something that we can do with this method of pressing. It's worthy of the Ye family!"

"What then?"

Mrs. Fang rubbed the corners of her forehead: "The price of the Ye family is almost double that of us, and the supply is very small, it should be for the sake of honor, and it is the Ding family's rice bowl, and it will not affect us for the time being."

"That's fine."

Mrs. Fang sighed: "It's not good, it's just temporary, with silver to earn, they will increase their production sooner or later."

"So what do we do?"

"What else can I do? Either we can think of something to improve, or we can think about other ways to make a living, or we can sell it at a discount."

Ye Liu didn't get a positive answer in the end.

It's not that Qi Lele is unwilling to give, but Xie Zi'an didn't speak, so she didn't say anything.

However, Xie Zi'an accepted the silver ticket, Ye Liu was not in a hurry, and sent the three away, he simply closed the shop and slowly made himself a pot of tea.

On the way, Qi Lele couldn't help asking, "Does he also have a shop in the capital?"

"His surname is Ye."

"Huh?"

"The Ye family's shops are all over the town, and the Ye family is in the same vein, and the wealth is comparable to that of the country."

"So proud?" Qi Lele smacked his tongue: "No wonder he can sell it so expensive!"

She just said! How to take out a product casually, then Ye Liuzhangkou is the acquisition of a few hundred taels, the emotional family is a high-end brand, maybe there are high-end luxury stores! That's all with brand premiums!

"But I don't see that shop has a Yep's sign?"

"He was kicked out of his house." Xie Zi'an said: "He has a loose temperament, and he was at the bottom of the last big competition in the clan, and his wife kicked him out of the house in a fit of rage, and he was not allowed to return home until he earned enough silver."

Qi Lele only felt as if he was listening to a story: "And the big competition within the clan? Than what?"

Xie Zi'an also seemed to find it interesting, and showed a smile: "The Ye clan does not attach importance to the order of the elder and the young, and the clan is always inhabited by people with both ability and political integrity, but those who are virtuous and virtuous will conduct a big competition every time, and arrange the affairs of the clan according to the results of the big competition. As for the content of Dabi, outsiders have no way of knowing."

"Then how do you know that the shopkeeper Ye is at the bottom?"

"Don't call you Sixth Brother?"

Qi Lele waved his hand: "That person said so, I can't really call him Ye Liu, right? Calling the shopkeeper Ye feels a little angry, after all, aren't you still talking about business!"

It seemed that this reply was very useful, and the smile on Xie Zi'an's face warmed a little: "The Ye family also seems to be a little angry, not only did not suppress the fact that he was kicked out of the house by his wife, but used it as a counterexample to beat the younger generations of the clan."

Qi Lele sighed twice: "Shopkeeper Ye is so miserable!"

"The Ye family is still willing to be his backer, so it can be seen that this expulsion from the house is just a show, in order to let him learn some lessons and learn from his temperament."

"Why don't we make him some more sesame oil and tahini?" Otherwise, I will receive these three thousand taels with a little weak heart."

"Madame doesn't have to be weak-hearted." Xie Zi'an said indifferently: "The Ye family never makes loss-making transactions, and he is so simple today, he can see that we can help him earn more silver taels."

"Or, the hundred cans of sesame oil and sesame paste before have made him a lot of money."

Makes sense!

It's just that......

"Now that we have collected all the money, and the pancreas maker has not been found, what shall we do?"

"Madame, don't worry, people are already on the way, and they should be able to arrive in these two days."

"That's good."

The carriage galloped all the way, and when they returned to Shangxi Village, it was not yet noon, so the three of them washed their hands and plunged into the silkworm house.

"This ant silkworm grows so fast!"

"So many mulberry leaves are almost finished in the morning, and if you can eat them, you will grow quickly." Qi Lele looked at it carefully for a while and said, "I have to expand their seats."

"What is seat expansion?"

"It's just to spread them out a little bit more, so that they don't crowd each other and don't eat enough mulberry leaves."

"I see."

The three of them first divided the ant silkworms that had grown a lot into two silkworm plaques, and then swept the newly hatched ant silkworms onto the clean silkworm plaques.

As a result, the room is a lot more crowded.

"The silkworm scaffolding has to be made quickly."

Xie Zi'an said: "I have given the drawings to the craftsman this morning, and the silkworm frame and leaf sieve can be done in the afternoon, and the rest will have to wait a few days."

"Okay."

"Isn't there enough mulberry leaves?"

"We'll pick it later, and we'll pick more this time."

「……」

Coming out of the silkworm house, cleaning the replaced silkworm plaque and putting it in the sun, the three of them took two bamboo baskets and went straight to the mulberry forest.

On the roof, Su Zhengtao looked at their departing backs, the expression on his face was indescribably entangled, Su Yi was just that, he was a stupid son after all!

But his handsome eldest son! Now he actually carries a bamboo basket to pick mulberry leaves, and is willing to be a silkworm farmer!

Are those hands used to sweep silkworms, pick mulberry leaves, and wash silkworm plaques? That's to scold Fang Xuan and point out the country!

It's heartbreaking!

Xie Zi'an didn't know that he was causing people's hearts, he was picking mulberry leaves at this moment.

Qi Lele stood beside him holding the bamboo basket: "I remembered it wrongly before! It's not about plucking the first three leaves, it's about plucking the second one, which is yellow and green."

Xie Zi'an's fingers that were originally holding the mulberry leaf loosened, and moved to the next leaf: "Okay."

Thinking of those super edible ant silkworms, the three of them picked two bamboo baskets full of mulberry leaves this time before they stopped, estimating that it should be enough for them to eat for a day or two.

After returning home, Qi Lele carefully rinsed the mulberry leaves as usual, and then put them in a cool place to dry.

Just after finishing the work, there was a knock on the courtyard door, Su Yi went over and opened the door, it was the craftsmen who came with the finished things.

The leader was the middle-aged craftsman, who asked the silkworm trellis to be erected in the yard, and said, "For the time being, only one silkworm trellis has been made, if there is anything inappropriate, just instruct it, and we will change it now." We'll make a few more when we're done."

Qi Lele took two silkworm plaques and put them on, the size and height were just right, it was what she wanted!

"This silkworm frame is very well done, there is no need to change it, I have to thank you."

The middle-aged craftsman smiled and said, "No, it's just a matter of duty, I don't know where you want to put this silkworm frame?" We'll help you move there."

Xie Zi'an looked at Su Yi, Su Yi understood, and took a step forward: "I'll take you over."

In addition to the silkworm frame, the leaf sieve was also done, Qi Lele just glanced at it and knew that the size gap was just right, and she couldn't help but praise: "These craftsmen are really powerful!"

Xie Zi'an's eyes were slightly downcast, and he said, "Madame took a step to speak."

Qi Lele did not doubt him, and followed Xie Zi'an into the room, but he was pressed against the door panel in the next moment: "The craftsman is very powerful?"

"No! It's a great match! They all made it according to the drawings, and the drawings were drawn by the Xianggong!"

Xie Zi'an slowly lowered his head: "Let you call me brother, I have to coax for half the night, and it is polite to call others, huh?"

"Wronged!" Qi Lele said pitifully, "Didn't I explain this on the way back?"

"Then Madame might as well guess if I will listen or not?"

You obviously don't want to hear it!
