Years later, Cloves stumbled upon something that allowed flour to ferment quickly.

She experimented with corn flour for a few days and finally "invented" yeast powder.

This made Ding Zhuang and others very happy, Xiangxiang is indeed the smartest girl.

This recipe does not need to be kept secret, Ding Xiang discussed it with Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao, and told Ding Shan, Guo Brother-in-law, and Grandpa after the beginning of spring.

My own family and a few of them went to the nearby state capital to sell their children, with small profits and quick turnover, ranging from two to five taels. Whoever has the ability to sell more money can be regarded as a thank you to these companies at the beginning.

Of course, it cannot be said that it was discovered by Lilac, but that it was discovered by Zhang.

Yeast powder is of little use to the common people of this era, and for them, time is far less than money. But it is very useful for shops such as dim sum shops and steamed bun shops that are good for business.

Ding Shan earned the most, forty taels. Ding Zhao and Guo Liang each earned thirty-six taels, and Zhang Xiaobao earned the least, thirty taels.

Earning so much in two months has already made the Zhang family overjoyed. Zhang Xiaobao went to sell it farther away, but the person who bought the recipe had already sold it there first, and Zhang Xiaobao had to turn on it in vain.

Because of this money, the Zhang family became the richest family in Liuwa Village, and after building a house, Zhang Xiaobao also married the most beautiful girl in the village as he wished.

Zhang Xiaobao gained insight in the process of selling, and more deeply realized that running a merchant earns more money than farming and hunting in the mountains, and embarked on the road of running a business.

He bought prey, tea, mountain goods, herbs and other things in and out of the mountains and took them to the county seat and even farther away to sell them in provincial towns and state capitals, and then bought things from there to sell them in the town or in the mountains.

I earned my own money, and it was also convenient for the villagers in the mountains.

——

Time flies, spring goes to autumn, and it is the end of July of the twenty-fourth year of Qingguan.

The swallow flew south again.

Ding Xiang is six years old, lives a happy life in the Ding family, and is much loved by the family.

She is white and fat, and Snow Jade is cute. In the words of the villagers, the girl looked whiter and tenderer than the landlord's son, and the delicious food of the Ding family entered her mouth.

It had only been raining heavily for a few days, and it had just stopped at noon.

Lilac stood under the eaves and looked at the apple tree, and from time to time a few drops of water fell from the leaves.

Lilac's little pink mouth pouted.

She misses her grandfather.

Maybe it was Ganoderma lucidum and old ginseng that played a role, or maybe Ding Zhuang's body was good, except for three broken fingers that could not be connected, Ding Zhuang's body was much better. Adapted to doing things with only two fingers with his left hand, and started his old job again.

At the end of last year, Qian Er begged to come to the door. A friend of his in the army got a good piece of iron and asked Ding Zhuang to help him make a good knife.

also reassured Ding Zhuang that his friend's character was absolutely trustworthy and would not tell him out.

Whether it is based on his own promise, or in order to build a good relationship with Qian Er's family, Ding Zhuang must do it.

didn't dare to fight weapons generously, Ding Zhuang made a small stove in the backyard to fight. He also said that the treasure knife should absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and he would fight at night, so he lived in the iron shop and rarely went home once.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao found an excuse, and the Dragon Dart Bureau gave the shop a lot of work, and they couldn't finish it during the day. Ding Zhao and two guys have daughters-in-law and children, one guy is too young, so Ding Zhuang will do it at night.

Ding Zhuang did not allow his granddaughter to go to the town to see her, and would go home to see her once every three or four days, and rush back to the shop after dinner. It has been raining in the past few days, the road is not easy to walk, and Ding Zhuang has not come back for several days.

In the past three years, several happy events have happened in the Ding family.

One thing, of course, is that the apple trees in the yard have blossomed and borne fruit this year. The apple tree is not overgrown, but there are nine apples, five of which have a faint red color, which is larger than the average apple.

There will not be many fruits this year and next year, and it would be good to add up to twenty or thirty, eat them all at home, and keep the fruit seedlings.

Even if there are many apples, they will not sell, and they don't want others to make high-quality varieties of apples at the same time to steal business.

In the third year, when the apple trees are in full bloom and their orchards are grown, they sell apples. Even if someone grows this kind of apple seedling, they will earn an extra two or three years.

The seeds of the two-and-a-half-apple planted five seedlings, which were planted the previous year and would not bear fruit until four years later.

In order to build a high-quality orchard, the family bought five acres of sloping land. Now plant corn, wheat, sweet potatoes, peanuts, potatoes and other crops, and plant fruit trees after a large number of apple seedlings come out. Only a small plot of land was planted with the five apple seedlings.

Also bought two people, it was a couple. The man Yang Hu will plant fruit trees, plant the land now, and serve the orchard in the future. The woman, Yang Hu's family, helped the Zhang family with housework and needlework.

Both of them were thirty years old and had no children. There was once a girl who fell ill and died.

The second thing is that Ding Lichun was strong in martial arts at a young age and became the youngest dart master.

On the tenth day of July, Ding Lichun, a thirteen-year-old boy, entered Beijing for the first time as a professional dart master. Lilac was as excited as he was and gave him two important tasks.

The third thing is that Ding Liren studied well, had a high level of understanding, and won the first place in the second exam, and opened the gap with the second place, and was Mr. Li's most proud disciple.

Mr. Li proudly said that this son will be able to take the children's examination in two years.

Lilac Little Lori has always insisted on learning from Ding Liren, and her handwriting endorsement is better and faster than Ding Liren.

Especially in Danqing, Ding Zhao's few graffiti made Ding Zhao and Ding Liren look sideways, and they were amazed that Ding Xiang could not only earn money and study, but also have the potential to be a painter.

This also stimulated the little boy to work hard.

Lilac sometimes deliberately speaks half of the story in order to point out the little brother, and while the little brother understands it, he is extremely proud to explain it to his sister.

The fourth thing is that Lilac exerted her ingenuity and thought of a way to make money at the beginning of last year.

It was the "copper charcoal pot", which she drew and let the iron shop beat.

The copper charcoal pot is also the copper hot pot that was used to eat and brush mutton in the previous life.

In this era, there was no delicious hot pot like in the previous life, but I liked to drink soup and put all kinds of meat and vegetables in the soup. Make a pot of fragrant and delicious soup, and the soup will be cold after eating it in winter, and you will have to take it into the kitchen to heat it up. Not to mention the trouble, it also loses its original deliciousness.

Lilac drew it out and said it, which made Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao's eyes light up. Put the charcoal in it, cook it while eating, and it looks good and clean, this kind of pot will definitely make money.

Last year, Ding Zhao and Ding Zhuang spent half of their time playing this kind of pot, still quietly. By the beginning of spring this year, more than 300 were sold, and Ding Shan was asked to sell them at the county wharf, and Zhang Xiaobao took them to sell them farther away.

The Ding Xiang family made a net profit of more than 160 taels of silver, and Ding Shan and Zhang Xiaobao earned 18 taels and 20 taels of silver respectively.

It wasn't until other iron shops began to make copper charcoal pots that the price dropped.

There are three more things that make Lilac unhappy.

Thank you Jane and Rose for the tip, and thank you for the monthly pass.
