Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Woman B came over slowly, fanning herself, and said, "In my opinion, you just want to marry your old girl off to someone else."

Woman A glared at Woman B viciously and retorted: "You!! Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Besides, my daughter is not bad either!"

Woman A looked a little guilty after she finished speaking.

After hearing this, Woman B hid her face with her fan and sneered, "Humph! You are just boasting like a woman selling melons. I don't even want your daughter, even if she's given to me for free."

Woman A was so angry that she was shaking. She pointed at Woman B and yelled, "You...you...Zhang Shuiyue!! You can't give birth to a daughter yourself, so you take advantage of other people's daughters!"

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had congratulated earlier said, "You two market women, if you have any grudges, just go and complain on the street."

"The young master of the An family just passed the imperial examination. Stop arguing with him and spoiling his mood."

Other customers in the shop echoed: "That's right! That's right!"

Seeing that this plan was not going to work, Woman A was so angry that she pointed at Woman B and cursed: "Zhang Shuiyue! I will tear your mouth apart today!!"

When Woman B saw Woman A chasing her viciously, she ran out of the shop.

The two women chased each other and ran out of the shop.

At this point, the shop returned to normal.

Just here, a large group of people rushed into the shop from outside.

The An family was immediately shocked.

The first man bowed and congratulated: "Congratulations, congratulations to Mr. An..."

The second one said: "He passed the examination at such a young age. He will definitely be an official in the future."

......

Seeing this, Chunzhi hurried out of the shop to find out what was going on.

Seeing several officials passing by from afar, Chunzhi walked towards the entrance of the town.

It turned out that those officials came to the town from the county to post the list.

The group of people who just rushed into the shop must have looked at the posted college entrance examination list.

Chunzhi hurried back to the shop. She walked up to An Yue and whispered in her ear, "Miss, it was the officials from the county who posted the list."

After hearing this, An Yue understood and nodded to Chunzhi.

In this dynasty, it was not easy to pass the examination and become a student.

There are only a few people in a county who can pass the examination and become a scholar.

It has been three years since our family settled down and started doing business in Shijing Town.

If someone passes the examination to become a scholar in Anyan, he will naturally attract people to him.

An Yue walked forward and said to all the customers with a bright smile: "Thank you all for coming to congratulate me. My brother is where he is today, thanks to the care and support from all of you."

"To thank everyone for coming to congratulate us, every purchase of a spicy hot pot will receive a 2-cent discount."

As soon as An Yue finished speaking, the customers in the shop cheered and clapped.

"it is good."

"Very good."

"..."

An Yue said modestly: "Our store is a small business, so the discounts are really not much, I hope you don't mind."

A middle-aged man said, "Girl, don't say that. We came here because of the taste of your spicy hot pot. It's delicious."

"Besides, your brother will be a high-ranking official in the future, and he will have many places to spend money. Miss An gave us a discount, which shows that she is sincere."

An Yue smiled modestly and said, "I dare not talk about being an official, but... I still want to thank you all for your understanding and support."

As we were talking, the food selection area was already full of people lining up.

The whole family and their helpers were busy.

......

Until the afternoon.

All the food in the shop was sold out and everyone cleaned up the shop.

Erzhu, Cui Niang and Axia finished their work early and went home exhausted.

An Yue and her family then closed the shop and prepared to go home.

Now the family has two carts, one of which is the mule cart that was purchased in the county town at the beginning.

Later, after doing business in the county town, An Yue bought another carriage.

After closing the gate, everyone got in the cars, and Daniu and Ale each drove a car home.

The setting sun shifted to the west, and the afterglow spread over the road home as two cars moved slowly forward.

An Yue sat in the carriage, her heart full of emotion.

In three years, the An family has undergone tremendous changes.

An Nian passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, and his business grew bigger and bigger.

An Nian's teacher at the town school suggested that he go to the academy in the county town to study.

An Yue thought he was too young and was really worried, plus she had always planned to develop in the county town.

So, in order to avoid any mistakes, she hired an accountant for the spicy hot pot shop in the town.

The three helpers in the shop are Erzhu, Cui Niang and Axia.

Grandma and sister-in-law took Xiaobao, Daniu and a few others and still commuted from home to town every day, driving a mule cart back and forth.

My aunt-in-law lived and ate in the shop and helped run it.

Now that the weather is warmer, I get up early every morning to go to the butcher shop opposite to buy large bones. After taking them to the shop, I clean them and then slowly make the soup base myself.

When the food was almost cooked, Da Niu and his friends came over from home.

During the busy farming season, my sister-in-law Meng Xiu'er and my grandmother stayed at home and hired villagers to help with farm work.

Chunzhi and Ale were taken to the county town by An Yue.

In the county town, An Yue rented a small house and two shops.

They have a place to eat and live, and the small house can be considered their home.

There are two shops, one big shop selling spicy hot pot, and the other small shop selling pastries.

The Malatang shop hired an accountant and several helpers.

A'le mainly stayed in the Malatang shop to work and instruct the helpers in their work.

The pastry shop only hired one helper, and An Yue and Chun Zhi made the pastries themselves every day.

Chunzhi stayed in the pastry shop and sold pastries with the hired help.

Although more and more shops were opened, An Yue had less and less free time.

In addition to checking the account books and money of several shops every day, she would occasionally learn flower arrangement, playing the piano, calligraphy and painting in her spare time to cultivate her sentiments.

Of course, she would also wander around the shop from time to time to observe and understand the various conditions in the shop at any time.

At present, the three shops, including the Malatang shop in the town and two shops in the county town, are doing quite well and generating considerable income.

In addition to three shops, An Yue also set up a herbal medicine purchasing center in the town.

The money earned from purchasing herbs can only be considered as covering the cost.

The main purpose of this herbal medicine purchasing center is to help the villagers find a way to make money.

Now, after adding up all the miscellaneous savings, An Yue has some money in her hands.

But it is still far from her dream of becoming a wealthy woman.

......

The carriage swayed and soon arrived at the village.

From a distance I could see that the main road near my home was crowded with people.

When I got closer, I saw that they were villagers from our village. They were all holding various things in their hands.
