After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

With money in hand, Li Xiangping felt even more confident when he wanted to buy land.

In fact, even without the more than 4 taels of silver, the Li family's money would be enough to buy a large manor.

Not to mention the income from the shop and the share of the teahouse, the income from the two gardens alone is nearly 1 taels.

Nowadays, the price of an acre of fertile land is only seven taels of silver, so even buying a manor with a thousand acres is easy for the Li family.

Yan Qingqing directly counted out 1 taels from the banknote and handed it to Li Xiangping and said: "This is the current budget. If there is something more suitable, you can tell mother."

Li Xiangping took the silver note from Yan Qingqing's hand with trembling hands and asked in disbelief: "Mom, do you want to buy land with 1 taels of silver?"

Yan Qingqing glanced at him and asked, "What, you think you're too young?"

Li Xiangping quickly waved his hand and explained: "No, no, quite a lot, I just think it's too much. I originally planned to buy just a few dozen acres, but this can buy more than 1000 acres."

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Land is the foundation of farmers. When you make money, you have to buy land. More than 1000 acres is not too much, but you will be burdened in the future."

Although Yan Qingqing likes rare crops, she really has no enthusiasm for farming. In fact, like Li Xiangan, she prefers to make money.

Hearing this, Li Xiangping promised: "Mom, don't worry, I'm not afraid of getting tired. I'm going to ask where there is a suitable large manor."

After saying that, he immediately stood up and was about to leave. When he passed by Li Xiangan, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, you have worked hard during this time. Brother, I take good care of you!"

The corners of Li Xiangan's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that Li Xiangping had learned to speak in an official voice after being an official for a few days.

Li Xiangan and Yan Qingqing had an in-depth chat about the future development direction of the food processing workshop.

With Yan Qingqing's guidance, Li Xiangan felt more confident.

Yan Qingqing was doing research in the house that day, and Ruyi and Ruxue were sitting outside eating melon seeds and chatting.

Ruyi said: "I think I must have accumulated virtue in my previous life to be able to meet such a good master as Madam."

Ruxue nodded and replied: "I think it's the same for me. When I was with my parents before, they didn't like me just because I was a girl.

He even sold me to his brother in exchange for a betrothal gift for his marriage. I thought that my life as a servant would be even more gloomy.

I didn't expect to meet such a good master. I want to serve my wife, little miss, for the rest of my life. "

The two sighed for a while, and then Ruxue asked in a low voice: "I don't know why Madam has locked herself in the house these two days, and she doesn't let us in."

Ruyi glanced at her and said, "Don't ask about Madam's affairs. Our Madam must have something big to do."

Ruxue quickly explained: "I don't want to inquire about Madam, I'm just afraid that Madam will get bored if she stays alone in the room for a long time."

Ruyi smiled and said: "You don't know what our wife's temperament is. She can lively and lively with everyone. She can also stay in the house alone for several days."

At this moment, Yan Qingqing is researching various toiletries.

She started researching this some time ago, but she put it aside because she was busy for a while.

Yan Qingqing plans to build a workshop again, specializing in washing and chemical products.

The rouge gouache sold in rouge shops these days is expensive and hard to use. The last time she went to Fucheng, she brought a small box for each of Yuan Huiniang and the others. It was as small as a fingernail and cost two taels of silver.

There is also nothing good to use for washing clothes and bedding.

Ordinary people use mallets to beat, and more sophisticated people use some plant ash.

Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but the main reason is that the clothes that come out are stiff.

Rich people will buy some soap locusts, but the cleaning effect is not very satisfactory, and it is also very expensive.

In her previous life, Yan Qingqing's company did makeup, and she stayed on this project for several years.

In order to understand the products in depth, she often goes to the production workshop to study, so she understands the production process of general products.

Yan Qingqing is currently working on a handmade soap, and she plans to make three flavors.

Among them are mugwort, and of course there are peonies and roses.

Ancient olive oil was not easy to find and she had to use lard instead.

The process is the same, but the ancient tools are not complete, making it a little troublesome to do.

Yan Qingqing worked hard for a long time and finally made the handmade soap.

Then pour into prepared molds and cool.

Yan Qingqing opened the door, Ruyi and Ruxue quickly stood up and called Madam.

Yan Qingqing was a little hungry after working all day, so she ordered the two of them: "You two, hurry up to the kitchen and bring me some food, I'm starving to death.

By the way, lock this room to prevent Jinxiu from coming over and causing trouble. "

Little Jinxiu is already over three years old, at the age when dogs and cats are extremely destructive.

After hearing this, Ruyi quickly agreed, took out the lock she carried with her and locked the door.

This room was very precious to Yan Qingqing, and no outsiders were allowed in since it was cleaned up.

Yan Qingqing would come out with something rare every time after tinkering for a long time.

This time was no exception. Yan Qingqing carefully held a beautiful box in her hand. The contents inside had not yet solidified and smelled delicious.

Ruxue had already gone to the kitchen to serve the food, and Ruyi said, "Are you tired, madam? How about my servants serve it for you?"

Yan Qingqing shook her head and said, "No, I can just carry it myself."

She spent a long time working hard to get something like this, and she would be heartbroken if Ruyi accidentally let it go.

Ruyi had no choice but to give up after hearing this and followed Yan Qingqing back to the room.

Yan Qingqing carefully placed the thing on the table and observed it carefully. Ruyi also watched and exclaimed: "Madam, why did I feel that this thing was not so sticky at first?"

Yan Qingqing nodded and said: "That's natural. It was hot just now, but now it has cooled down and slowly solidified.

In the end, it will condense into a lump, which can be used to wash hands and clothes. "

After hearing this, Ruyi sighed: "Isn't this just Zaodou?"

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "This is much more convenient and easier to use than soap. You will know later."

Ruyi nodded when he heard this and said intelligently: "Is Madam studying these things to make money?"

Yan Qingqing glanced at her and said: "You are the cleverest. You should learn arithmetic when you are free. Don't look back, madam. I have earned a lot of money and you can't figure it out if you are in charge of my private treasury."

Yan Qingqing just said it casually, but Ruyi said with a blushing face: "If you are a slave and study hard, you will definitely not have the situation that Madam said."

Before she was bought by Yan Qingqing, she didn't know a single word. Although she had been studying with Yan Qingqing for more than half a year, her skills were limited after all.

She can barely manage the things in Yan Qingqing's warehouse now.
