I am engaged in construction in Datang

"How many people are interested in yuba today?" Li Yin bent over her desk and continued to write Li Weng's rhyme.

"Not many people in the village are interested. They would rather buy it and eat it themselves. Eighty percent of the people in the farm are interested, but we still have to ask the master. Someone should come to discuss the deal soon."

Li Yin wrote one article and Feng Sanxi copied one.

He was well educated, and when the old owner was still alive, he was trained as a manager, and he was also very smart.

"The bulk bean curd trade does not require silk or silk, only copper coins and silver, and the common people come to buy silk or silk. Are there any shops in the city that resell it?" Li Yin asked again.

She has a lot of things in her hands, so she needs a shop to display them, mainly to attract traveling merchants. Whether she can make money is secondary.

"There was a shop in the West Market that caught fire two years ago and someone died. The people at the pawnbroker said the owner thought it was unlucky and was anxious to sell it. The shop was 21 feet long and 18 feet wide, with a yard at the back, a main room and two side rooms where you could grow vegetables."

"It originally sold for 1500 taels of silver, but now it can be bought for 1100 taels, but the house needs to be renovated."

"There is another shop in the East Market. The owner loves gambling and lost all his money so he was anxious to sell it for cash. The area is about the same as the shop in the West Market, but it only costs 800 taels of silver."

Feng Sanxi blew the ink on the rice paper, looked at Li Yin's words, and then looked at his own.

He has been writing for thirty years, how come his calligraphy is not as good as the manor owner's? Was the manor owner's calligraphy so beautiful before?

Before, when I followed the old owner to take care of the affairs of the manor, I rarely saw Li Yin, who was kept in the boudoir.

"We'll choose a shop in the West Market, where there's less hassle." Li Yin put down her pen. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, so she wanted to chase the man away.

"I've already left it." Feng Sanxi knew that Li Yin didn't mind this.

Today is the Waking of Insects. Li Xiaochun got up early and prepared to pick up Wang Dahai and his friend.

Because there were too many things, he asked Li Xiaosong to drive the ox cart and follow.

When they arrived at the slums, Wang Dahai and his daughter were already waiting at the intersection. Wang Erya had a bun on her head, her face was dark, and she was wearing a gray-black cloth.

"Mr. Wang, have you finished moving?" Li Xiaochun saw that the two of them only took a large cloth bag.

Wang Dahai smiled innocently: "The owner said yesterday that the manor has everything, so I won't bring so much."

He held Erya's hand, feeling a little guilty.

I've never lied before!

Li Xiaosong laughed: "Come to our farm, don't worry, you and your kid will definitely be well fed and clothed, and have meat for every meal."

Wang Dahai: “…”

Wang Erya grabbed Aye's palm and told him not to be nervous, as it would be bad if someone found out.

The four of them drove the ox cart towards the women's village.

……

Liu Quanshu took a bite of the roasted bean curd.

"This is the taste we had at Nvzhuang yesterday."

A quarter of an hour later.

"I'm not dead! I'm fine!" Liu Quanshu was happy: "I'm going to give it to my godfather to try!"

He was originally a eunuch in the palace. After all his family members died, he entered the palace to serve.

Because he was smart and knew how to please people, he lived a comfortable life at first. But later, his master fell, and someone wanted to kill him.

Fortunately, Wang De saw that the man was smart and intelligent, with good character. He entered the palace late and had not been involved in many disputes, so he got him out and made him a manager in this small farm.

There are only 12 people in his entire village. They are not rich, but they live comfortably.

In addition to farming, he usually helps his godfather Wang De collect various things in the city, sort out prices, and find new things to offer.

Their farm is small and low-key, and they didn't even go to the main table yesterday.

"Prepare the horses! Let's go find our godfather now, and I'll make roasted yuba for lunch!"

Liu Quanshu brought two cans of yuba soaked in water and ten kilograms of dried yuba. He only bought twelve kilograms yesterday and soaked some of it to cook. The rest are all here.

If you buy less, it will cost 25 cents per pound!

Liu Quanshu hurried to the palace in a carriage.

Soon, a plate of delicious roasted bean curd sheets was placed in front of Wang De.

"Delicious!" Wang De picked up a piece of food with chopsticks. "What is it made of? It tastes like meat, but it doesn't have the flavor of meat. Instead, it tastes like beans."

Liu Quanshu was delighted: "Godfather, this is called yuba, a new thing made by a village called Nvzhuang at the foot of Mount Li. This method is called red-braised, which was also invented by them!"

"Female village?"

Wang De frowned. He knew a lot about the city and the outside world, but he had never heard of such a strange name as Nvzhuang. "I haven't heard of it."

"It's the Little Li Village at the junction of the Jing and Wei rivers at the foot of Mount Li! The young master took over and changed the village to a female village. We need to get rid of the bad luck."

"Oh, Xiaoli Zhuang! It's time to get rid of the bad luck." Wang De knew.

Liu Quanshu had told him about Xiaolizhuang. Over the past few decades, the heads of the families that had once been prosperous had died off one after another. They were obviously a good family and a good landlord, but they did not have a good ending.

It feels like I have encountered something evil.

"Ah..." Liu Quanshu sighed, "The master's family now only has a 14-year-old girl left. Now the manor is ruled by this girl."

"That's difficult!" Wang De shook his head. Things in the world are unpredictable.

A young lady in charge of such a large farm not only has to manage the tenants and servants in the farm, but also has to guard against the jackals outside. It is very difficult for her to find a husband!

"Yesterday we ate a snack called Jing Guo Tiao in that village. It was sweet and crispy, but it's a pity that they don't sell it."

Liu Quanshu said again.

"As long as the food is made, we can eat it one day." Wang De didn't feel sorry at all, as all the good things in the world would eventually be in the palace.

"When you have time, you need to take care of that girl. Don't let anyone eat her to the last drop."

"Yeah, that's what I think." Liu Quanshu nodded.

"Okay, go back and get busy. We also need to learn how to make yuba and make it for His Majesty tomorrow."

In just a few days, yuba became popular among the nobles in the capital.

Because Your Majesty felt it was delicious after eating it!

And compared with other expensive foods, 25 cents per pound of dried ones is actually not expensive, and they can be much heavier after being soaked!

The most important thing is that the taste is good. It is delicious whether it is served cold, stir-fried or braised.

At this time, West City.

"Without firecrackers, we can only play the lion dance." Li Yin felt a little regretful. In her time, who wouldn't set off a couple of strings of firecrackers when opening a business?

It has to be done quickly.

How about trying to trick a few alchemists?

Just as he was thinking about it, the scholar who had been watching for a while finally plucked up the courage to come over. He was wearing a scholar's robe that was washed so white that it turned white. He looked at Feng Sanxi and bowed.

"Um, my name is Zheng Wen. May I ask the shopkeeper's name?"

Feng Sanxi stepped aside, stood behind Li Yin, and bowed back: "My owner's surname is Li."

Zheng Wen was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl who was just up to his chest.

Why does it look so unreliable?

Here I come! Li Yin smiled and said, "My surname is Li, my name is Yin, and I am the owner of a female manor at the foot of Mount Li outside the city. Master Zheng, you can just call me Miss Li Yin."

"Master Li." Zheng Wen did not call her Miss Li Yin, but called her the master of the manor.

"Mr. Zheng, do you have any questions?" Li Yin looked encouraging.

Tell me quickly, only if you tell me can I give it to you, and then we can live in harmony. For example, if you come to my village to teach, I will provide you with a place to live and a study environment!

This way you can have food and shelter, how great!
