Blessings of Time Traveling
Chapter 16
Sanni's mind is very simple, she wants to serve Mrs. Zhou with all her heart and soul for another two years, think about what she thinks, worry about what she is anxious about, and worry about her worries.Then, she wanted to lift up the little maid from below.When she reaches the age where she can be released, she can go to the master to ask for dignity.
It's not that Sanni likes to serve people, but there are so many helplessness in people's life.Whose family's eldest maid can redeem herself at only sixteen?No one has such rules!What's more, for Sanni, when she had nothing, it was the old lady who gave her great help.
Sanni has seen her family again, and the eight years have not blocked their relationship. She knows that relatives can be her backing, and under such circumstances, she has become very confident.Even though she will stay in the Zhou family for a few more years, she still feels very relaxed.
Moreover, Sanni now knows about the family's misfortune.
When their relatives met for the first time, because of various concerns, both parties selectively concealed some things, but now they have already spoken.Sanni knew all the messy things going on at home, so she naturally didn't want to be a burden to everyone after her redemption.
It's better to wait until the family's situation is better, and then redeem yourself, don't let the family's money be filled with her redemption money.Sanni thought so.
After separating from Sanni, Qi Mingcheng went to a shop specializing in embroidery and helped Xiaomei Zhao sell all the embroidery she had saved.
In this era when many skills are passed on from father to son and mother to daughter, there are not many girls in the village who can embroider and sell things like Zhao Xiaomei.Although women know how to cut clothes and make shoes, these are the most basic. If you want to sell embroidery, you need to know more patterns, know more advanced stitches, and have talent in this area.Zhao Xiaomei's embroidery art was passed down from the old lady Zhao, but other girls in the village had nowhere to learn it.
Let’s take Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Qi as an example. They are good at making clothes. The men at home are very decent when they go out. When making shoes, they can even embroider flowers and birds on the upper. But if If they want to make money with this, they are a little unqualified.They can't learn advanced embroidery skills from their mothers, unless they sell themselves to the embroidery workshop, and they will never make a big breakthrough if they only rely on their own thinking.
But is it easy to be an embroiderer?Although they can learn crafts for free, by the time they can leave the embroidery workshop at the age of 40 or [-], their eyes will have been broken.
After Qi Erniang married into the Zhao family, she was instructed by her sister-in-law Zhao Xiaomei, and finally she was able to embroider a handkerchief in her spare time in exchange for some money.But this kind of thing, it is tacitly agreed that it cannot be spread outside, Qi Erniang has a sense of propriety, even if little sister Zhao didn't say anything, she didn't secretly teach Mrs Qi what she learned.Therefore, Mrs. Qi can only sell the soles of her shoes for money.Making shoe soles is a labor-intensive job, and it takes a lot of work. In fact, everyone can do it, but when some people want to make their own shoes, they are too lazy to make shoe soles, so they need to buy them from outside.
It can't be blamed that Erniang Qi didn't think about her sister, but if she taught the skills passed down from the Zhao family to her sister who married into the Wu family, once this matter was exposed, the relatives would have nothing to do.Even though the Zhao family might not mind it very much, as the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, I have to stick to my duty!
As for Zhao Xiaomei's craftsmanship, it was naturally taught by the old lady Zhao.
It can be seen from this that Mrs. Zhao should indeed have some background.
According to Qi Mingcheng's guess, Mrs. Zhao certainly did not have such an unscientific hidden identity as a lady of a high-ranking official family, but she at least lived a life of being a little rich when she was young.More than ten years ago, something happened to the Zhao family, and the Zhao family had no choice but to take refuge in a small mountain village.
So fine.
If Mrs. Zhao was born and raised in Shanglai Village, it's not because Qi Mingcheng looked down on the villagers, but because they lived in this environment all their lives, they naturally took everything in front of them as the truth, so at least nine out of ten old ladies like to have nothing to do Learn about your daughter-in-law.If the old lady Zhao is like this, Qi Mingcheng will probably make a quick decision, get some money for the Zhao family, and then leave with Qi Erniang, right?
Don't say that Qi Erniang can't leave if she is married. If she really meets someone who is not good, she might as well go and set up a female household!
The weather is getting colder and colder, there is not much work in the fields in winter, and cats in every household have started winter.
A Kang, the boy next to Shen Ling, his elder brother is named Shen Shun.Shen Shun's grandfather was originally a beggar who was rescued by the Duke of Zhen at that time by chance, and later he followed the Duke of Zhen.Because he didn't have a name, the master gave him the surname "Shen".The three generations of Shen Shun's family are very loyal people.
When Shen Shun approached the Zhao family, everyone in the Zhao family was shocked.
Not to mention Mrs. Zhao, Qi Erniang and others who didn't even know that Qi Mingcheng had helped Miss Zhou's Biao, even if Zhao Dalang knew about it, he was shocked.In Zhao Dalang's view, although he doesn't know how Miss Shen appeared in Yun'an City alone, it is not a decent thing, and the nobleman will definitely keep it a secret.As insiders, it is a blessing that they are not warned by nobles to keep their mouths shut, so why would they even think about getting a reward?
Therefore, after knowing Shen Shun's reason for coming, Zhao Dalang was rather flattered.
Zhao Dalang subconsciously looked at Qi Mingcheng.
After Qi Mingcheng knew that Shen Shun's purpose was to buy his own bean products, he said, "Your owner's restaurant is in the capital, and it will take half a month to get there from Lidong Town, even if we go fast. Forget it in winter, If it’s summer, wouldn’t the bean products you buy from my house get moldy on the way? If you use ice cubes to keep them fresh and use real Maxima to transport them, the cost will be too high! Seriously, our family’s Soy products are only sold at a low price. If you insist on doing this business with us, the loss outweighs the gain.”
Qi Mingcheng can pretend not to know these things, and sell all the soy products to the Shen family calmly.But that's not how business works.
Sincerity is the foundation, this is the principle of life, and it is also the principle of doing business.
Therefore, even if Qi Mingcheng needs money, he still has to make it clear.
When Shen Shun heard this, he couldn't help being stunned.What Qi Mingcheng said, he had actually thought of it a long time ago.However, for Shen Shun, since his master ordered him to do this matter, he couldn't treat the Zhao family's affairs as a normal business, but he didn't want Qi Mingcheng to take the initiative to talk about it.
Shen Shun had tasted Zhao's soy products, if Zhao's and Shen's restaurants were in the same city, then this business could really be done.However, the Zhao family will not move to the capital rashly, and there is no need for the Shen family to open a restaurant in Lidong Town, as there is no market here at all.
Seeing that Shen Shun was silent for a while without speaking, Qi Mingcheng had already made up his mind and said, "Actually, these bean products are very simple to make. If you are really optimistic about their market, Shen Guanshi, I can give the recipes to you for free." You guys, how about your restaurant being self-sufficient."
Qi Mingcheng was always sober.He knew that Lidong Town was a small place, so no one imitated the soy products made by the Zhao family.However, there are a lot of talents in the capital, and there are many passers-by from all over the world. If the Shenjia Restaurant regards bean products as a special dish, it should be imitated soon.
To put it bluntly, these bean products were not invented by Qi Mingcheng.
Perhaps, at this time, corresponding prescriptions have already appeared in various places.It's just that the tofu in each place will produce different soy products. Qi Mingcheng relied on his own experience to integrate the recipes from all over the place, and it seems that their family sells a lot of soy products.But if the Shen Family Restaurant makes money from this, as long as other businesses see the benefits, they will definitely find all kinds of recipes as soon as possible.
Therefore, Qi Mingcheng planned to give Fang Zi away for nothing.As for the seller or getting a commission, it's all free.Rather than making Shen Shun and the masters behind Shen Shun feel that they have been fooled in the future, it is better for him to be more generous now and let them take a high look.
Sometimes it is for the greater good to temporarily recognize a small loss.
Shen Shun didn't know that Qi Mingcheng was thinking so deeply, and quickly said: "If you really take the prescription for nothing, the master will definitely break my legs later."
"You took the prescription, made it into food, and sold it to the dignitaries in the capital. We still do small business and sell it to the folks in the village. So, even if you took the prescription, it will not delay our making money at all. I think This is pretty good. Brother, what do you think?" Qi Mingcheng said.
Seeing that the question was thrown to himself, Zhao Dalang thought for a while and said, "My brother is right, we can't let you do business at a loss."
Zhao Dalang is simple and honest, but he is not really stupid, so he said this sentence quite skillfully.He only vetoed the matter of not selling bean products to Shen's restaurant, but he didn't express his position on whether to sell Fang Zi.He always felt that Qi Mingcheng was still planning something.
Shen Shun naturally didn't want to take the prescription for nothing, so he planned to continue to persuade the Zhao family.
Qi Mingcheng saw that his eyes were clear and sincere, so he said, "Well... Fangzi won't be sold, you can just take it if you want it, it's really not worth anything. Do me a little favor, how about it? There are two brothers in my husband's family, who are quite diligent in studying, but we have no news here, and the master is quite pedantic, I always worry that they will be delayed."
Shen Shun's heart skipped a beat.How can Qi Mingcheng help with this favor?Many thoughts filled his mind at once.
Naturally, the affairs of scholars cannot be managed by the government of the town, especially the government of the town must keep a low profile at all times.However, his master's grandfather, Mr. Zhou, was a great Confucianist in the world. Although he has retired, he is still quite famous in Qingliu.Does this person mean that he wants the two brothers of his husband's family to worship Mr. Zhou as their teacher?No, maybe he just wants to get a letter of recommendation from Mr. Zhou?
The more famous a literati is, the more he pays attention to his own reputation. Mr. Zhou's recommendation letter is not easy to get!
Shen Shun felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face, and listened carefully to Qi Mingcheng's continuation.
It's not that Sanni likes to serve people, but there are so many helplessness in people's life.Whose family's eldest maid can redeem herself at only sixteen?No one has such rules!What's more, for Sanni, when she had nothing, it was the old lady who gave her great help.
