When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

The next day, Guanshi Chen came to the door to set up a meeting time with Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe.

In the middle of the afternoon, the two went together to the private room of the teahouse that Guanshi Chen had reserved in advance, and formally discussed the business cooperation with Mr. Ansan.

This is not the first time that Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe have met Master An San, this man has a friendly face, so don't think that you can underestimate him by doing this.Can make a business like this, who doesn't have the ability?The more kind-faced a person is, the more difficult it is to deal with.

Of course, the two sides are talking about cooperation, not direct competitors, and there are not many conflicts of interest, so they don't need to rack their brains to find ways to attack each other. The atmosphere is much more harmonious, and there is no trace of tension.

"Master Shen, Master Fang, Ming people don't speak dark words. We have been cooperating for a while, and we are very happy with each other. I don't ask too many questions. I want to make sure that what Manager Chen said yesterday was not an exaggeration. Right?" Master Ansan had investigated the two of the Shen family long ago, and paid attention to them on weekdays, not to mention [-]% sure of their temperament, at least [-]% or [-]%.

Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe are not profiteers, as long as they treat each other with sincerity and don't bully them, then they don't have to worry about them stalking him behind their backs, and cooperating with them is nothing less than worry-free.This is also a big reason why Master An San didn't use his status to suppress them and grab a lot of profits from them.

Walking in the mall all year round, Mr. An San has his own set of coping plans. He will adopt whatever method he has for any partner or opponent, instead of treating them roughly and uniformly.

It is precisely because of his precise vision and his reluctance to offend people easily that the business of the restaurant under the name of Master Ansan is getting more and more prosperous year by year.Especially in recent times, after getting inspiration from the sales model of the "Good Zailai" super food shop, the business has been improved to a higher level, and there is a faint trend of catching up with the brothers who rank above him in terms of annual revenue. Since then, The attention paid to these two members of the Shen family is increasing day by day.

"Of course not." Fang Tianlin picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. "In addition to ice cream, there are several other types. The finished products are in the process of being produced. Master An wants to see them, and he will see them in a few days. But the technology is not yet Mature, there are only a few things that can be done at present, and when these are thoroughly understood, I believe that there will be more new products to be launched in the future.”

Master An San stared at Fang Tianlin for a long time, making sure that he was not boasting, and immediately put away the faint smile that had been hanging around his mouth all year round, and said with a rare seriousness: "Tell me, what do you want. I remember the last time we met and talked It’s about the ice-making recipe. The ice cream business you provided this time is indeed profitable, but it’s not as fast as the ice-making money. Even if this business is promising, it’s enough for Chen Guanshi to report the progress to me. What do you have to add? condition?"

Fang Tianlin was not surprised. There are smart people everywhere, and it is not the patent of modern people: "Master An, let's put it this way, the ice cream business covers a very wide range, and the ice cream and the varieties that the Shen family will launch in the future are only one of them. , but it is a very profitable category. As for the key to this business, Mr. An must have known it already, that is, it cannot do without ice."

After a slight pause, Fang Tianlin continued: "Since the Shen family has sold you the ice-making formula, I never thought about making ice on a large scale by myself. The source of the ice, not to mention other people, even Shen's hired workers can't fool it. In this way, the throat will be stuck by the ice seller, even if Mr. An sells it at a low price for the sake of the happy cooperation between the two companies in the past There is a limit to the amount of ice that can be given to us. After all, the ice-making business is not owned by the An family. ..."

Master An San lowered his eyes, Fang Tianlin said so thoroughly, and spread all the disadvantages of the Shen family in front of him, this matter is not easy to handle.He asked what other requests the other party had, but in the end he said such a bunch of seemingly irrelevant things, probably because he had other plans.

"Ice cream should be easier to imitate, right?" Master An San didn't continue to follow Fang Tianlin's words, but changed his direction instead.

"Don't worry about this in the short term. Even if it is imitated, it will only be some of the flavors, not necessarily others." Fang Tianlin did not pat his chest, vowing that no one can imitate, unless the production method is only in the hands of his own people.

This is obviously unrealistic. If you want to earn a lot of money, you must expand production. There may be ways to control the recipes of various flavors, but even if the merchants cannot analyze the method of making ice cream in a short time, they have other methods. Some methods are bound to be obtained from the workers in the workshops that produce ice cream.

Money can turn ghosts around, even if the ice cream workshop is run by the Shen family, this problem still cannot be avoided.It is too easy to pry the hired workers' mouths away. As long as they give a few taels at least, and a few tens of taels at most, there must be many people who have fallen under the money offensive.

Fang Tianlin didn't need to think about it to conclude that not many people could resist the temptation to easily earn a large sum of money by talking about it casually.It's actually not that difficult to betray the boss, after all, they are just hired workers, and even if they are servants of the Shen family, he can't guarantee anything.In this world, there are still a few servants and servants who eat inside and outside, and turn their backs on their masters for glory?

Status doesn't determine anything, what is rare is loyalty, Fang Tianlin wants to cultivate such a person, ability is second, and loyalty is the first.As for other people, if they agree, they will come and if they don't, it's enough to add a little affection to maintain the bond between the two parties. He doesn't expect much from these people.

Master An San didn't speak, and waited for Fang Tianlin's next words.

"Master An, the Shen family can sell you the method of making ice cream and various recipes, but Shen remembers to get the goods from the An family at a preferential price, and the supply cannot be withheld for any reason."

"Yes." Master An San couldn't help but sit upright. This request was almost as if he hadn't mentioned it, and there must be a follow-up.It is impossible for the Shen family to make such a concession to the An family.

Fang Tianlin glanced at Chen Guanshi vaguely, and slowly began to drink tea.

Master An San's heart trembled. Before the Shen family cooperated with the An family, they never took the initiative to shun Steward Chen and let him sit in. That was all his business, and the Shen family did not interfere. Now...

Manager Chen was also clever, and without waiting for Master An San's order, he took the initiative to find an excuse to leave the private room.

"I'm older than you, so I'll take care of you." Master An San couldn't figure out what the two of the Shen family were planning at this moment, "Brother Fang, brother Shen, don't be foolish. What are you talking about?" Just say it."

At this time, Fang Tianlin felt a bit of hesitation in his heart.It wasn't until Shen Jiahe put his hands on him with support in his eyes that he finally settled down.

With the current prosperity of the Shen family, even if they don't do anything else and only focus on running Shen Ji, they will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.But is this really what he wants?If he didn't get the inheritance from the Qianyuan clan, he would be very satisfied if he could live comfortably and raise his offspring well.The problem is that he has this ability now, but he doesn't use it, and only focuses on his own family. Isn't it too wasteful?

After taking this step, there is no turning back. Fang Tianlin pondered for a long time when the matter came to an end, before he said quietly: "Brother An, take a step to speak."

Master An San's face became more and more serious, and he moved the chair towards Fang Tianlin.

Shen Jiahe got up and opened the door, glanced outside a few times, then closed the door and put his ear on the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

"Brother An, no matter what you hear, don't worry, let's discuss it after I finish speaking." Fang Tianlin had been vaccinated in advance to prevent Master An San from screaming when he heard it.Seeing that the other party was already mentally prepared, he continued, "I would like detailed information about Jingchao's southeast to southwestern coast. If it is convenient, the nearby countries will also be included. In exchange, the Shen family can carry out in-depth cooperation with the An family. Ice products are only small, and it is a special case, it is sold directly to you, and the products produced by the Shen family in the future will be a cooperative relationship, not a one-off sale."

Master An San's pupils shrank slightly, and Fang Tianlin's words revealed a lot of information. He was talking about commodities, not food or food, which meant that the Shen family had a strong stamina.More importantly, this made Mr. An San feel scruples in his heart. He knew very well what the backgrounds of these two Shen family members were. The industry is involved, and this is not something that the Shen family, who came from a farming family, can do. Is there a force behind them that even the An family can't find out?

That's all, Master An San can barely accept that there are some unimaginable people and things in this world.Besides, no matter whether the Shen family is so powerful or there are people behind it, there is no disadvantage to An's family at present, and he doesn't need to worry about it for the rest of his life, but the first sentence made him feel terrified.

Master An San didn't believe what Fang Tianlin said was literal, he just wanted to know about the situation in the southeast, southeast and southwest of Jingchao so that the Shen family could do business in those places.If it's just like this, it's nothing. What frightened him was why did the Shen family know that the tentacles of the An family had extended to these places, even including foreign countries?

This is not just a business issue. An's family can be ranked well in Yunzhou City, but it is not as simple as it seems on the surface.The An family is just a wealthy businessman, and the highest-ranking officials they make friends with on the surface are the Tongzhi of Yunzhou Prefecture, plus a few high-ranking officials funded by the An family, all of them are from the local area. Merchants fighting with the support of the aristocratic family?Naturally, it was because the An family still had supporters secretly, but how could the Shen family know about such a secret?

Master Ansan's heart was full of turbulent waves, and he almost couldn't maintain his peaceful expression.There are so many children in the An family, and even his concubine brothers would not be able to know such secret information. If it wasn't for the fact that the stall was too big and the manpower was not enough, more reliable An family members were needed to support the secret affairs. The two sons are probably not qualified to know, and he will not send the eldest son away from him since he was a child, and he will only see him every few years.

Even though he thought so, Master Ansan still asked knowingly: "Okay, it's not easy to get news. I'll send someone to inquire after I go home. I'll give you what you want in a few days. Let me let you know beforehand. I'm right." You are interested in the new products you mentioned, why are your Shen family brains so smart, the restaurants and restaurants under my name have been open for so many years, and it is rare to see new dishes in the true sense."

Fang Tianlin couldn't help laughing, he was not at all dissatisfied with Master An San's response.At first, he just wanted to start an ice cream business with Anjia, and had no other ideas. Later, he accidentally discovered that there was a problem with Anjia's capital movements, so he used methods that were not available in this world to investigate. Only then did he find some clues about Anjia's secret operations.

Of course, Fang Tianlin would not say these things, and he did not intend to continue to inquire further. Knowing these things is enough, and he did not expose them. He followed Master An San's words and said: "Brother An, just as you said, we also As far as our brains are concerned, if we hadn’t come to Yunzhou City to open our eyes, I’m afraid we’d spend our entire lives in Guangyan Village doing nothing. I asked Jiahe for news there, and there was no other point. I just want to find a place to build the ancestral hall, as the last sanctuary of the Shen family, where they can recuperate and live without being persecuted when there is no way out."

"You also know that Guangyan Village is not a good place to live. We still don't know what's going on there. It will be impossible to go back to our hometown. And Yunzhou City is too prosperous. It doesn't matter when it starts. Once the Shen family If you are down and out, it is not appropriate to stay here, if your luck is even worse, and you are suppressed to the point where you cannot hold your head up, you can only go far away, a safe and secret place is very necessary."

"I want to find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack as the last place for the Shen family. It doesn't matter if there are few people on the road or difficult roads, as long as it is safe. I believe that with the ability to settle down, it is not difficult to find a place that meets the requirements. It is best if possible." Find a few places like this, so we have a choice. Well, the fewer people who know about it, the better."

After hearing Fang Tianlin's words, Master An San felt relieved, as long as the An family's secrets were not exposed, everything else could be discussed.He also found a reason for paying Guanshi Chen.As the Shen family's last retreat, the less people know about it, the better. Even if it is not easy to attack, it is still dangerous for the Shen family.Because their number is too small, even if all the people from Guangyan Village are moved there, how many people will there be?Once you meet the powerful, it's just a matter of order, and you can destroy them all.

There is no problem with this one, but the other ones are easier. The two parties have cooperated more than once. The ice-making business with such a large profit did not cause the two companies to fall out, and the ice cream business, which does not come in so fast, is even less likely. On the other hand, both sides blushed, and both sides gave up part of their interests, and the matter was settled quickly.

The end result is that the Shen family takes a layer of dry red, and pays for the method of making ice cream and the recipes of various flavors of ice products. Naming, this opportunity to become famous is given to An Jia.

The two sides are each taking what they need. Fang Tianlin can actually settle down without trouble. After the large cargo ship enters the sea, he can go all over the world to find a suitable place to live. But this is too time-consuming. He has nothing now, except It's time.Life is short, if he can't improve the biomedical technology to a certain height, then he will live to be more than a hundred years old and return to ashes. Without him to guide the direction, who knows what will happen in the future?

Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, without a solid foundation, faults are likely to appear, and at the same time, it is difficult for the system to keep up.Old ideas drive new technology, hehe, I’m afraid it’s difficult to deal with the two. It’s very likely that the new technology is controlled by the rich and powerful, and it becomes a sharp edge for them to control the people. Then it’s better to keep it like this, at least for now. The force gap between the two sides is not that big, and it is easier to overthrow the corrupt rule.

The more advanced the technology, the higher the military technology, the harder it is for the common people to shake the ruling class. If the system is unreasonable and the technology is completely blocked, it will be the common people who will suffer.At least modern people have the right to education, high-tech weapons may not be able to be made, and it is no problem to make ordinary guns and ammunition. With the current system of the Jing Dynasty, don't expect the court to be so kind.

Fang Tianlin didn't want to see the scene of people being enslaved, especially if it was caused by himself. Presumably, the Qianyuan clan would agree with him.

After returning home, Shen Jiahe stopped being a wooden rafter, and asked as soon as he sat down: "Tianlin, do you really want to find such a place as the Shen family's ancestral home?"

"Don't you want to?" Fang Tianlin asked back.

"I think about it, but it is troublesome to go in and out of places that meet the requirements you said. If you really want to retreat to the ancestral land, can you go out one day in the future?" Shen Jiahe was very conflicted, and the two had discussed this matter before. , but when he really wanted to put it into practice, he hesitated again.It's really easy to get in and hard to get out, "Can't we just look for remote places?"

Fang Tianlin shook his head. What he said was just an excuse, he just didn't want to be found easily, and the remoteness alone was not enough to satisfy his request.No matter how remote it is, it is always populated. What he wants is that no one sets foot, and at the end of the day, no one settles down.Of course, the latter is in the absence of a choice. If possible, he wants a site that is completely undeveloped and belongs only to his family.

Is there such a place?In modern times, there may not be one, but in the Jing Dynasty, there are more than one. Fang Tianlin can draw this conclusion without field investigation.

"Okay, you can do it if you say so." Shen Jiahe didn't get too entangled in this matter, anyway, it was just a matter of building a village, which had nothing to do with their current life, but it was just a matter of spending some money, and his family could afford it.It doesn't do any good to the Shen family now, maybe it will really become the Shen family's last shelter in the future.No matter how glorious a family is, it is impossible to stand forever, there will always be a time of decline, and then the ancestral land will play its due role.

Seeing Shen Jiahe like this, a smile spread across Fang Tianlin's eyes, getting the support of his own wife is more important than anything else.

Shen Jiahe got up and went into the room, and came out with the ledger in a short while: "Tianlin, with the income from the workshop and the restaurant plus the latest income from selling ice cream recipes, there may be no problem with picking up the cargo ship by then. There is a lot of surplus, but to build the future ancestral land, this money is far from enough."

The Shen family is no longer country bumpkins, they have all seen the prosperity of the world. Since they want to build a new village, they can't follow the previous requirements. They don't expect much, at least they have to have a wooden house and a stone house, and it would be better to have a brick and tile house.And because the possible ancestral land must be a relatively closed environment, it is best to be self-sufficient in everything, especially the three things of food, clothing and drinking, which must be solved by themselves and cannot rely on outsiders.

If the Shen family can rise again one day, then the school is indispensable. It is impossible for people not to get sick, and there must be a medical center. If they want to live well, at least one craftsman of all kinds must come to the village, and someone must guard the village. Guards also have to be trained... Shen Jiahe thought about it casually, and felt that his head was as big as a bucket. How much money would it cost?

Shen Jiahe never thought of hiding it from his wife, thinking of this, he told Fang Tianlin all the worries in his heart.

"It's okay, we're still young, so we can take our time." Fang Tianlin didn't speak out what was on his mind, as that would only add to Shen Jiahe's troubles.As if thinking of something, Fang Tianlin hesitated for a while before saying, "Jiahe, don't tell your parents and elder brothers about this beforehand. Let's talk about it when we are almost done, so as not to worry them."

"Okay." Shen Jiahe didn't object, and he didn't want his parents to worry about this at their age.

No matter where the ancestral home is located, it will be far away from Yunzhou City. Fang Tianlin decided to expand the scale of carrier pigeons to facilitate the transmission of news between the two places.

With the previous experience of domesticating the first batch of carrier pigeons, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe already had a lot of experience in how to choose pigeons, and they no longer chose purely by intuition like the first time.

This time it was the same as last time, all five members of Fang Tianlin's family were dispatched under the pretense that their sons liked pigeons, so that even if someone investigated the Shen family, they would not feel that there was anything unusual about his family.

Fang Tianlin didn't buy too many, he still only wanted five pigeons, if this is still not enough, then let the pigeons breed themselves.With space and water, one generation will only be better than the next.Of course, this is because the previous generation had a very short lifespan. If they had a long lifespan and were fed the same amount of space water, then the newcomers would not be able to compare with their predecessors anyway.

There are many training methods for homing pigeons. The minimum requirement is to enable them to return home in time and correctly after being released from the pigeonhole. At this level, homing pigeons can take on the responsibility of delivering messages.

The first five pigeons raised by Fang Tianlin's family already possessed this ability, and now they are training the second ability of the pigeons, trying to make them recognize not only pigeon nests but also people.This is more difficult. If homing pigeons do not drink space water for a long time, it will take a long time to train them to do the latter. Even so, the range is not large, hundreds of kilometers can reach the sky, and pigeons need to find their way any further. The performance is better, and the training method must be more scientific.

It just so happened that Fang Tianlin could do both.
