The most arrogant in history

Jiaojiao was surprised: "Sir, you are such a good person. With these two hundred coins and three bottles, maybe I can survive."

"I'm sure you'll survive."

Ye Kun picked up the meat in the bowl and passed it to San'er and his sister: "You will eat here from now on. When it gets cold, I will come to pick you up."

San'er Ping'er kowtowed again, took the barbecue and gobbled it up.

Ye Kun looked at Jiaojiao and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao, I will come again in the future and give you a kind of bean paste, which is delicious for cooking or rice. When the time comes, you can help me sell the bean paste, and we can share the money we make."

Making soybean paste does not require any technical skills.

Ye Kun thought about it and decided to give it a try.

Without bean paste, my meals would taste bland.

"Okay, sir. I'll be waiting for you." Jiaojiao was very happy.

Ye Kun said goodbye.

He also brought back 100 kilograms of soybeans from the county town.

Qin Chou was puzzled and didn't know what Ye Kun was going to do with so many soybeans.

"I want to make a sauce, a very delicious sauce."

Ye Kun explained to Qin Chou: "This sauce is more delicious when used to mix with rice than with meat. It tastes even better when used to cook."

Qin Chou shook his head repeatedly: "No business is better than slaughtering pigs and selling meat!"

Ye Kun rolled his eyes. This guy was just obsessed with killing pigs.

After returning home, Ye Kun made bean paste while working on the second spinning wheel, and called Qin Erwu and Yan Liuhai to help.

With the experience gained from making the first spinning wheel, the second one was made quickly, in just a day and a half.

I also bought the jars and pots needed for making the sauce, as well as the bamboo winnowing basket.

Dai Xi's house was right next door and became Ye Kun's bean paste workshop.

Boil the soybeans, let them cool thoroughly, place them in a bamboo winnowing basket, cover them with a layer of grass, sprinkle water on them every day to ensure the humidity, and wait for the soybeans to mold.

During this period, Ye Kun invited a builder to build a house in the backyard.

Dai Xi's backyard was also taken over by Ye Kun, and a total of eight thatched houses were built.

The villagers all came to help, for free, as long as they had food to eat.

The thatched houses were not very tall and were built in seven days.

The soybeans were also moldy, so we started drying them in the sun.

The moldy soybeans are dried, crushed in a stone mortar, added with coarse salt and stirred, and placed in the backyard to be exposed to the sun and dew, waiting to be sold.

Before going to bed at night, Jiang Yourong consulted with Ye Kun:

"Da Lang, it takes two people to spin the thread on a spinning wheel. There are two spinning wheels at home, so four people are needed. So I thought, I should invite my second sister Youde to come..."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Now that we have a house to live in, I will go home with you tomorrow and bring my second and third sisters with me."

Jiang Yourong was a little embarrassed: "Third sister can't work, Dalang, don't you dislike her for eating for free?"

"Your sister is my sister, how could I dislike her?"

Ye Kun patted her head again and said, "Besides, since my second sister is here to help, I will pay her five copper coins a day."

"So many?" Jiang Yourong was surprised:

"I used to work as a spinner for others, earning only one or two copper coins a day. During famine, I didn't even have to pay for anything, just one meal a day."

"She's my sister-in-law, so of course I have to give her more."

"Da Lang, why don't you just marry Youde as well? You don't have to pay him a penny for wages." Jiang Yourong suddenly grinned.

"Nonsense, should I marry all the girls in the world as my concubines?"

Ye Kun couldn't help but smile.

The next morning, Ye Kun rode a horse, borrowed Zhou Taigong's ox cart, and took Jiang Yourong back to her parents' home.

There are no tigers or bandits now, so we can travel safely on the road.

Jiang Yourong sat in the back car and said with a smile: "Da Lang, should we build an ox cart? It's a pity that we have two horses but no cart."

"Okay, I'll make one when I have time."

Ye Kun nodded.

We do need an ox cart, because the production of hemp rope will become a daily routine in the future, and we will have to sell the rope frequently.

Ye Kun and Jiang Yourong had just entered Jianghetou Village when they attracted a group of children.

They were all wearing tattered clothes and looked extremely thin.

There was a tiger disaster during this period, and the villagers in Jianghetou had a miserable life. They didn't dare to go out to dig wild vegetables, which delayed their search for food, and two people starved to death.

Jianghetou is a small village and it is impossible to organize a tiger-hunting team.

On the other hand, Jiang Yourong's family lived well thanks to Ye Kun's support, and everyone in the family gained a little weight.

The children in the village were extremely hungry and looked at Jiang Yourong pitifully.

Ye Kun jumped off his horse, took out the dried meat and fruits he had brought, distributed them to the children, and gave each of them five copper coins.

The whole village was startled and greeted him with smiles:

"Our Jiang Hetou's son-in-law is back!"

"My son-in-law is so generous, and he is so blessed to have such a beautiful face!"

Ye Kun just smiled and nodded slightly.

Yourong's elder brother and sister-in-law came to greet him, helping Ye Kun to lead the horse, with smiles on their faces.

They knew that with Ye Kun's arrival, the family would become rich.

Jiang Yourong's two younger sisters even held their elder sister's hands and said, "Sister, you have gained weight. Your clothes are so beautiful, as well as your headscarf and these earrings..."

"Don't worry, you all have them. Your brother-in-law has brought you gifts."

Jiang Yourong hugged her sister and said with a smile, "Besides, your brother-in-law said he would take you to Caomiao Village for some fun."

The third sister Youcai cheered and jumped for joy.

Youde was fourteen or fifteen years old and already sensible enough. He looked at Ye Kun shyly.

When she arrived at her parents' home, Jiang Yourong took out gifts, including food and clothes.

Ye Kun also presented a coin to his father-in-law, and gave a pair of silver earrings to his mother-in-law and his eldest uncle's wife.

Jiang Youbao killed fish and prepared wine, and warmly entertained Ye Kun. He said with a smile: "Son-in-law, you guys in Caomiao Village are really good at fighting tigers. At that time, I also wanted to help you fight tigers."

Aunt Xue said with regret: "Yes, if Youbao had participated in the tiger hunt, he could have shared a lot of money and tiger meat."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you can help me buy hemp silk in the Jianghetou area in the future. I will take as much as you can. If you help me, I will pay you. Three hundred copper coins a month, is that okay with you?"

It takes a lot of people to develop the twine industry.

To purchase hemp silk and sell hemp twine, we need our own people.

It is impossible for Ye Kun to do everything himself, so he needs a few capable helpers.

Jiang Youbao was so excited that his whole body started to tingle: "Son-in-law, I can help you with the work, even if you don't want any money..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Sangu kicked her husband hard under the table.

No money, just starve.

Jiang Youbao reacted and grinned, "Three hundred copper coins, that's great. I can't even make a hundred copper coins a month as a fisherman."

Ye Kun looked at his mother-in-law Jiang Li again:

"Mother-in-law, we are very busy with spinning at home, so Yourong wants to bring two cousins ​​over to help. Youde's wages will be five copper coins a day."

Jiang Li's old face was full of smiles: "Why would the aunt's sister help her brother-in-law? Just give them food. Anyway, the two little girls have nothing to do at home."

"It's my aunt's sister, not a dead girl."

Ye Kun touched Youcai's head and said, "Youcai doesn't have to work in the past. She can play as much as she wants. I will support her."

Youcai threw himself into Ye Kun's arms: "Brother-in-law, you are so kind."

"You silly girl, don't get your brother-in-law's clothes dirty." Jiang Li scolded with a smile.

After lunch, Ye Kun and Jiang Yourong brought back their two younger sisters, Youde and Youcai.

This time, the house became a country of daughters.

Youde and Caidie are about the same age and hit it off at first sight.

Ye Kun arranged a bedroom for the two of them, and a small bed for Youcai next to it.

Jiang Yourong and Dai Xi each had a bedroom.

Ye Kun was miserable. He didn't have a fixed bedroom and could only run back and forth between Yourong and Daixi's rooms.

Two spinning wheels at home enabled daily production.

Ye Kun made two more and put them aside as backup.

At this time, the first batch of soybean paste is almost ready. I tasted it and it was very delicious.

Ye Kun brought two jars of soybean paste and Qin Chou with him and set out on the sales journey.

First go to a few nearby towns and give them away for free to the pubs.

Each family was only given a small bowl.

Then he went to the county town to look for Jiaojiao for cooperation.

But when he arrived in the county town, Ye Kun discovered that Jiaojiao's family's tavern had been sealed off by the government and there was a seal on it!

Ye Kun was very surprised and asked people around him about the situation.

An old man whispered:

"Jiaojiao's father, Ma Fugui, poisoned his old mother to death and was arrested by the county magistrate. His family property was confiscated and his daughter Jiaojiao was sold as a slave. Today, she is selling herself in the market."
