"Hey, Chen Xiaoqi, military masters, thank you for your hard work. You have helped us a lot today." Qin Liupo hurriedly thanked her.

The soldiers remained silent and looked at Chen Xiaoqi... Boss, if you don't get angry, we will all become special coolies of the Qin family!

Chen Xiaoqi finally said: "The sixth wife of the Qin family, we are here to guard the place to prevent people from pretending to be poisoned to ruin the reputation of the new kudzu rice grain. We are not here to work for your family."

Qin Liupo pretended not to hear, turned around and ran to bring a basket, pointed to the piles of wrapped arrowroot powder in it to eat, and said: "This is the arrowroot powder cake specially reserved for you. Take it back to give to your wife and the bride." Girls, make sure they worship you to death!"

They were all young men. When they heard this, they couldn't bear it, and they quickly happily accepted the kudzu powder to eat.

Qin Liupo felt proud... You guys, if you still want to fight with me, go and practice for another thirty years.

……

In Sili Square, Miao Yamen informed the people in the square about the grand occasion of Qin's stall.

Secretary Miao pulled the abacus and made a rough calculation: "With so many customers coming in like clouds, the Qin family's stall will make at least three taels of silver in net profit every day. If they sell it for a month, it will be one hundred taels. I’m going to buy a shop in town.”

As soon as these words came out, the scribes and village chiefs could not sit still.

Miao Lichang looked at Clerk Kong: "Brother Kong, shouldn't you go to the county town and ask Peng Bantou to persuade the adults to make the kudzu powder prescription public as soon as possible? It is now late April, and it will be the Dragon Boat Festival soon. So many families want to buy cakes as holiday gifts, which is a lot of money."

Secretary Kong and Bantou Peng are cousins, and Bantou Peng is the confidant of the county magistrate.

Secretary Kong was just a minor official, and his family life was not that good. He was very moved when he heard this... Bantou Peng only told him not to frame the Qin family, but he did not say that he was not allowed to make money.

Finally, he agreed: "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, it's time for me to go to the county to see my aunt."

……

Qin Xiaomi and the others rested for a while, packed up the stall, thanked Chen Xiaoqi and the others, and headed for the village carrying the pots and pans on their backs.

As soon as I get home, I close the door and count the money and settle the accounts.

Qin Cunquan: "There are many large households coming to buy arrowroot powder cake today. The gross profit is a full twenty taels. After deducting the capital, the net profit is... five taels or eight hundred yuan!"

"It's twice as much as yesterday, it's made, it's made!" Mrs. Qin Liu was so happy that she almost fainted, and added: "Tomorrow we will get up at the fourth watch and make more brightly colored arrowroot powder cakes. Many wealthy households like it. Buy them as gifts!”

Grandma Qin said: "Would this be too tiring?"

Qin Liupo: "Why are you tired when you are robbing money? If anyone is not willing to endure this hardship, then withdraw the shares and don't pay any money!"

He learned what Qin Xiaomi said and used it to threaten other people.

Aunt Xu said: "Fifth Aunt Qin, we are not afraid of being tired. Now that we can earn more money, we can make it more lively when my second horse and Li Zi get married."

Xu Fubao listened with his eyes wide open. Now he raised his hand and said: "Fubao can also work and help his uncle marry his aunt!"

These words made Xu Erjun and Qiao Lizi blush.

Qin Xiaomi looked at Grandma Qin: "Grandma, since no one objects, let's work harder and grab this wave of money."

From that day on, they would get up at four o'clock in the morning to make arrowroot powder cakes. After Chenshi had breakfast, they would go to town to sell the cakes. In the afternoon, after selling the cakes, they would go home and pound the cubes of arrowroot firewood to make arrowroot powder together with the people left behind.

After being so busy for eight days, Qin Xiaomi discovered that there were no more people coming by car from the county to buy her arrowroot powder to eat, and she quickly asked Chen Xiaoqi why.

Chen Xiaoqi said: "There are two restaurants and four snack shops in the county that sell arrowroot powder cakes. The rich households in the county have all bought them in the county... The Bai family who bought dozens of arrowroot cakes last time, his snack shop also Selling arrowroot cakes."

Qin Liupo was angry and cursed: "A group of shameless people came to steal my master!"

Qin Xiaomi said: "Sixth Wife, stop scolding me and hurry up to make arrowroot balls. The customers are still waiting to buy them."

Qin Liupo hurriedly shut up, while frying arrowroot powder balls, she asked Chen Xiaoqi: "The Yamen has not disclosed the formula of arrowroot powder, how come people in the county know how to make arrowroot powder cake? My family doesn't sell dry arrowroot powder."

Chen Xiaoqi said: "Your family doesn't sell dried kudzu powder, but the Yamen is already making kudzu powder. After five days of making it, the recipe has already been leaked to everyone in the county."

Those people wanted to make money for the Dragon Boat Festival. After learning how to make arrowroot powder, they immediately asked their servants to make arrowroot powder, and then asked the chefs to study arrowroot powder cake. Within three days, arrowroot powder cake was available in snack shops in the county.

"However, the color of their arrowroot cakes is not as good-looking as yours, and the price is still expensive. A piece of pastry costs three yuan for twenty cents," Chen Xiaoqi said.

"Such a black heart!" Mrs. Qin Liu was shocked, but she became proud again: "That's right, our Qin family is the ancestral family who eats kudzu. Naturally, we are better than those who stole the teacher, and our conscience is better than them!"

But due to the lack of business, Mrs. Qin Liu couldn't help scolding the rich households in the county when she closed her stall and went home. Her words were so unpleasant that the dogs on the roadside wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

When the family members found out that arrowroot was already being eaten in the county, they were a little panicked.

Qin Xiaomi said: "Don't be afraid, they are selling in the county and we are selling in the town. They are far away, so the impact on each other is not big. Moreover, there are so many people in Taifeng Town, and there are also people from the two nearby towns. , enough for us to earn."

She patted the money bag and said with a smile: "We have made a lot in the past ten days, a total of fifty taels."

As soon as Fifty Liang said these words, the sad look on the big guy's face disappeared, and he was busy making kudzu powder again: "Xiaomi is right, we are doing business for the people in the town... It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, people in the town I will definitely buy arrowroot cakes to give as gifts, we can sell them for a few more days."

However, when the stall opened the next day, the town’s restaurant also sold arrowroot powder cake, and the waiter even shouted to the street where their stall was located: “Kudzu powder cake, the new five-color arrowroot powder cake produced by Taifu Restaurant, can eliminate five poisons and receive five blessings. , a copy only costs ten cents!”

Bang!

Qin Liupo got angry, kicked a basket away, pointed it at the waiter at Taifu Restaurant with a stick, and said, "You're shameless. You stole from me and showed off in front of the master. I think you're looking for a beating!"

The restaurant waiter smiled and said: "Qin Liupo, don't talk nonsense, where did we steal the skills? The chefs in our restaurant went to the county to learn their craft, and the dim sum chefs in the county learned it in the county government. You If you don’t accept it, go to the county government office to argue with the adults.”

He added: "Your family has presented the kudzu powder recipe to the county magistrate. Then it belongs to the county government. What the county government wants to do with it is all the county government's business. It has nothing to do with you. Don't try to dominate this kudzu powder business." !”

Qin Liupo was very angry, but what the waiter said was indeed reasonable. She rolled her eyes and shouted at the top of her lungs: "The shady Taifu Restaurant sells kudzu powder cake for ten cents. You guys, please don't buy it." ah!"

Grandpa Qin said hurriedly: "Sixth brother and sister, please don't shout these words randomly. They are in a restaurant and their work is more sophisticated than ours, so the selling price will definitely be higher."

Then he looked at Qin Laoliu: "Bring your wife back quickly. Do you still want to stay in this town?"

Those who can open a restaurant in the town are definitely not ordinary people, so it's best not to offend them.

Qin Laoliu hurriedly went to Qin Liupo: "Stop shouting, do you still want to live a good life?"

Qin Xiaomi said: "Sixth Wife, let's do our business, they do theirs, don't pay attention."

However, Taifu Restaurant also sells kudzu powder, which really makes the town lively.

But just two hours into the excitement, it was overshadowed by another incident.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The gong sounded, and the yamen servant of Silifang banged the gong and shouted: "The county magistrate sympathizes with the hard work of our farmers, and specially disclosed the secret recipe of the new arrowroot powder and new grains. Every household wants to make the latest arrowroot powder to satisfy their hunger. You can go Look at the notice under the wooden sign at the entrance of the town, and there are instructions for making arrowroot powder on it!"
