Chu Wanqing didn't know what Ning Hao was thinking nonsense in her heart.

asked Ning Hao: "Husband, what are you dissatisfied with Uncle Han?" ”

Ning Hao would not offend his daughter-in-law in person, and said with a smile: "How can there be, daughter-in-law, you recommended it, naturally it is the best." ”

"What about me, I just don't know about him, so I came over to ask for details, since it's no problem, then I'm fine, you're busy, I'll go back."

Ning Hao got up and left.

Xinghua asked, "Miss, my uncle seems to be dissatisfied with Uncle Han." ”

Chu Wanqing smiled: "You can see it, how can I not see it." ”

"But if it doesn't look pleasing to the eye, what can it be, who called him my son-in-law of Chu Mansion."

Sons-in-law have no human rights.

Even the subordinates can frown coldly.

……

This year's summer has been exceptionally hot.

The continuous high temperature has caused the people's demand for ice to continue to increase.

Of course, there is another important reason for this.

Cheap.

2 pieces of ice, the size of a tofu block.

On a hot day, having such a piece in your mouth is really refreshing.

As a result, ice is no longer a luxury that only the powerful can afford.

Instead, it has become a bargain that every household can buy.

In addition, cheap ice cubes have stimulated business opportunities.

For example, if you want to chill sashimi, use ice.

If you sell pork, you need to use ice to prolong the freshness of the meat.

If you want to beat the heat, you have to put some ice cubes to cool it down from time to time.

Wait a minute.

It's all a big purchase of ice.

The price is not as cheap as 2 pennies a piece.

But even if the price rises, merchants are also flocking to it.

No way.

Who called the Chu family's ice cheaper than other families.

No one is at odds with money.

And the amount is full, unlike other merchants, which also restrict purchases.

The Chu family's ice cube business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting more and more prosperous.

The January bonus is calculated.

Chu Wanqing was shocked.

There were 32,000 taels.

She couldn't be happier.

Chu Wanqing has a plan.

In the coming year, this ice industry must be expanded, and it must be spread throughout the surrounding four prefectures and eighteen counties, and even promoted to the whole country, marching to Chang'an, the national capital.

The Chu family's business is so prosperous.

provoked a lot of young people to covet it.

The Qian family, the business rival of the Chu family.

The Qian family lives next door to the Chu family.

In the last coarse salt poisoning incident, the Qian family was the driving force behind it.

The fine salt made the Qian family lose blood.

Unexpectedly, this time the cheap ice made the ice cave built by the Qian family's large-scale manpower in winter become an ornament.

No one buys high-priced ice, even if it is a powerful family, it is not uncommon.

No matter how rich you are, people are not stupid, and they will not let your money dominate them.

The Qian family died.

Qian Huaimin, the head of the Qian family, had no choice but to interview Chu Wanqing, hoping that she could raise the price and not disturb the market.

But after the housekeeper visited, the reply he got was three words.

No way!

Bang!

Qian Huaimin smashed the teacup in his hand angrily: "Just a woman and a Taoist family, you dare to go against my Qian family, Chu Wanqing, you slut, bitch!" ”

The housekeeper Xu Zhong said: "Master, this Chu family's ice comes from strangely, even if it is a large ice cellar, selling so many ice cubes every day, there is a time when it runs out, but his family's ice seems to be endless." ”

Qian Huaimin swept at him coldly: "If you have a fart, let it go, don't beat around the bush." ”

"Yes."

Xu Zhong immediately reported: "The little one bought off a guy from their family and learned that this Chu family actually has a method of making ice in summer. ”

"That workshop is in Lion Alley, we only need to steal the secret recipe to turn defeat into victory."

Qian Huaimin said coldly: "What you said is light, this is the treasure of the Chu family's fortune, how can it be easy for you to steal it." ”

Xu Zhong offered a plan and said: "Master, we can't steal this secret recipe, can't we steal this person?" ”

"What do you mean......"

Qian Huaimin's eyes immediately glowed: "What good candidate do you have?" ”

Xu Zhong immediately said: "Isn't Chu Wanqing a lazy and idle son-in-law?" ”

"This person is greedy for money, we just need to give some sweetness, let him do the internal response for us in the Chu family, and then this secret recipe will not be easy to catch."

"Haha, this plan is very good, just according to your words, do it quickly."

"Master, the silver in this account is ......"

"Take it as you like, as long as you have this secret recipe, why worry about not being able to earn gold and silver."

Qian Huaimin looked at his hands excitedly, and his hands trembled, as if he was holding not air, but a lot of gold and silver.

……

Ning Hao likes to swim on the lake and fish on the lake.

Catch a few fresh fish on Lake Tai.

Cooking on the spot, or chilled, or boiling soup, is extremely flattering.

This is also one of the few pleasures he had in ancient times.

No way.

In ancient times, there were really too few recreational activities.

Fishing is the best way to kill time.

"Uncle, the fish is hooked, pull it quickly."

Ziling shouted as a reminder.

Ning Hao immediately lifted the fishing rod, and a carp bit on the hook.

"Little thing, you're miserable."

Ning Hao handed the carp to Ziling out.

Wear bait and plan to catch another one.

At this time, a flat boat came slowly.

Leaning over, the bows of the boat gently collided together.

Qian Mansion Xu Zhong invited him: "Ning Gongzi, what a coincidence, I don't know if I am lucky to have a drink together and swim in this Taihu Lake." ”

Ning Hao was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the middle-aged man with a thief's eyebrows.

"What do you say?"

Ziling whispered: "Uncle, he is Xu Zhong, the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion next door to our house. ”

"This Qian family and our Chu family don't deal with each other, it will be no good for him to find him."

As soon as he heard that it was the housekeeper of the Qian family, Ning Hao suddenly became interested.

Immediately handed the fishing rod to Ziling: "You fish here and make soup, I'll come when I go." ”

Ziling wanted to hold his uncle and not let him go, but he didn't get it.

My uncle has already slipped away and boarded the thief ship.

Xu Zhong was a thief and immediately let the boatman slide away from the fishing boat.

Ziling could only look at the boat and sigh.

"Please."

Xu Zhong poured wine, in order to show sincerity, first dry for respect.

Only then did Ning Hao dare to drink the wine he poured.

Speaking of which, this ancient wine is really light and tasteless, and it feels like a low-alcohol drink, which is not enjoyable at all.

Three rounds of drinking.

Xu Zhong began to pick out his intentions: "Ning Gongzi is only eight buckets high, if he doesn't go to the imperial examination and make a name for himself, is he willing to be a son-in-law in the little Chu family?" ”

Ning Hao glanced at him, and his heart was like a mirror.

Following the words of the old thing, he replied: "No matter how unwilling I am, what can I do, my family is in the middle of the road, and I can only send someone under the fence." ”

Xu Zhong said with a smile: "Childe doesn't have to worry, now that the old man has a way to make money, maybe he can help Ning Gongzi leap into the dragon gate, and he no longer has to suffer from being sent under the fence." ”

Ning Hao sighed, pretending to be curious and asked, "What kind of wealth, let's hear about it?" ”

Xu Zhong poured the wine and said, "Recently, the Chu family's ice has been selling very well. ”。

Ning Hao guessed his intention.

Immediately sneered: "That Chu Wanqing is also stupid, she has mastered the secret recipe for making ice, and she can make ice in large quantities, but she doesn't know how to raise the market price to sell it, she only knows how to sell it at a low price, and she misses a lot of wealth in vain, she is really an ignorant woman with long hair and short knowledge." ”
