It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

When he said he was busy, it wasn't because of any urgent matter. Nie Xiaotong had posted a message, saying he wanted to come and visit Weng Xiaoxiao to ask her some questions in person.

Weng Xiaoxiao would naturally respond to every request from his only young disciple. Moreover, teaching and learning from each other and discussing problems together would benefit both parties.

After explaining everything to Fenggu and Pei Jun, Weng Xiaoxiao took Ping An back home first.

Not long after we sat down, Xiaohuaer brought over a few bowls on a tray. Each bowl was filled with prepared lotus root powder. There were many varieties, but fortunately the quantities were not large.

Weng Xiaoxiao didn't say much, just tasted the food slowly, and took notes of any shortcomings with a pen.

"The candied fruit can be chopped finer. The taste is not good enough with just walnuts. What else should I add..."

Xiaohua listened carefully and took notes carefully.

"It's better for the master to tell the whole story after eating. Others just say good or bad, nothing else. I won't let them eat it in the future. It's a waste of good things."

Chunxia got anxious when she heard that they were not allowed to eat it. "It's not our fault. We have limited ability. Even if we know, it's hard to come up with suggestions for improvement. Anyway, even if it's not good, it will taste good with a little sugar."

After hearing this, Weng Xiaoxiao looked at Chunxia and said, "You'd better eat less sweets. It will be difficult to give birth to a child if it's too big."

Chunxia blinked her eyes. "Is there such a saying? Don't everyone want a fat baby?"

"Just ask Qiuyue and you'll know. Can I really fool you? Don't be greedy! When you give birth, you can eat as much as you want. Just as long as Ping An doesn't mind you being fat."

Being too fat is not good-looking, Chunxia pouted, she didn’t want that.

Seeing Chunxia's happiness, Xiaohua was envious, but she changed her mind and stopped thinking about it. Everyone has their own destiny. Since she was unwilling to marry Xiaotian, she should bear the consequences of living alone for the rest of her life.

"Just a few more tries and it should be almost done. Thanks for your hard work, Xiaohua. I'll give you a raise this month."

Since there is a lot of work to be done, it is natural to pay according to the work done. Weng Xiaoxiao is not stingy with anyone.

"Thank you, master. I will make it as soon as possible." Xiaohuaer bowed and thanked him.

Occasionally she would go home to visit her parents, give her family some money and some things, and her brother and sister-in-law became much more enthusiastic towards her, and no longer looked down upon her. Having this job was more comfortable than being married, and her master treated her well. Xiao Huaer never regretted her original decision, and was even glad for her decisiveness.

"You get what you sow, and this is what you deserve. Once the flavor ratio is fixed, you will need to train a few new female workers. In the future, the workshop will prepare the finished products for sale. The formula in your hand will be a secret recipe, so you must protect it well. If you make money, you will be given dividends at the end of the year."

Whenever there was a dividend, the money she got would be much more substantial. Xiaohua was overjoyed. If she had more money, she would not be afraid that her nephew would ignore her when she was old.

"There are a lot of details. Think about them more when you have time."

"Yes, Master, I will do my best."

"Well, get busy." Weng Xiaoxiao had been optimistic about Xiaohua's abilities from the beginning, believing that gold will always shine.

"Has Kangbao come back?"

"not yet."

"If I am not available later, tell Kang Bao to let the recruited female worker choose an apprentice first, and ask her to take a look as soon as possible. Once the person is selected, you can start training."

Even if you have a big family and a big business, you can't just keep idle people around.

Chunxia nodded in agreement.

Weng Xiaoxiao went back to her room, washed up briefly, changed into a coat, and went to the study.

In the past, she only liked light-hearted essays and travelogues, but now she has also started to read some history books. Reading history makes people wise, and many of the words passed down by ancient sages are still worth learning from.

She is exposed to more and more things and comes into contact with more and more people. She needs to constantly enrich herself and replenish her energy in order to take on heavy responsibilities.

……

"Master, Master Nie is here." Dong Xue's voice sounded outside.

"Please come in, sir."

The door opened and Nie Xiaotong walked in.

The boy has grown a lot taller, and has become more handsome and gentle. He deals with account books all day long. He doesn't have the slightest smell of money, but is full of bookish air. It seems that he is a person who loves reading in his spare time.

"It's been a long time since we last met. How are you, sir?" Nie Xiaotong bowed to Weng Xiaoxiao as a disciple.

"Okay, sit down." Weng Xiaoxiao invited him to sit on the chair opposite the desk.

"Is everyone okay?"

"He's a good person, and his business is even better, but I'm not very good," the boy pouted, showing a childish and rascally expression. "I learned from Wei Yong a few days ago that you're back. If I wasn't really unsure about this issue, I wouldn't have taken the time to come and see you."

Weng Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, "It's good to be busy. I heard from Aunt Feng that you came to wish me a happy new year. That's thoughtful of you."

"Isn't that what a disciple should be responsible for?"

After a few casual words, the master and disciple got down to business. Weng Xiaoxiao had never been familiar with the questions raised by Nie Xiaotong, so she took out a pen and paper and started to calculate together.

Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Weng Xiaoxiao went out to relieve herself, and asked Xiaohua to make two bowls of osmanthus lotus root powder and a plate of snacks.

"Master, snacks are here."

Weng Xiaoxiao responded, and Dongxue came in with a tray and placed it on the coffee table.

"Please enjoy it while it's hot, my lord. I'll take my leave."

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at Dongxue in the direction of the voice. The girl lowered her head and looked down, and did not show any curiosity as it was her first time entering the study room. This was both normal and abnormal.

A maidservant should not look around according to the rules, but everyone has curiosity, it's instinct. To restrain the instinct, there must be a greater purpose.

Weng Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze and said to Nie Xiaotong, "The lotus root powder from my farm will be sold later. Please give us some comments on it."

Nie Xiaotong and his son are highly regarded by Nie Feng. He has eaten a lot of good things, and now he is the only one in the bank, and his salary will not be less than hers in the past.

"It's pleasing to the eye, delicious food, and beautiful utensils. Sir, this cook has great taste." She picked up the bowl and started with a few compliments.

He stirred it gently and took a spoonful. "Not bad, sweet but not greasy." He quickly finished the whole bowl and reached out to pick up the pastry.

Seeing this, Weng Xiaoxiao knew that Nie Xiaotong was obviously hungry, so she handed him the tea.

"Could you please send me some lotus root starch from your house? The ones at home don't seem to be as delicious as yours. I like lotus root starch, my father likes it, and my boss likes it too. When your business opens, I will definitely ask my father to order some."

When you are sleepy, the pillow comes. Weng Xiaoxiao was just worrying about not understanding the market. "What's so difficult about this? I'll give you some lotus root powder and candied osmanthus first. My people are still developing new flavors. When they are more mature, I will definitely give them to you to taste first. I hope you can give me more valuable suggestions."

"Your subordinate is a brilliant man. He mixed the thickness and amount of sugared osmanthus just right, which is rare. If there is a new product, I will definitely try it." Nie Xiaotong said bluntly.
