Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

After one stick of incense, the door opened and Mrs. Chang, dressed in new clothes, walked out of the room.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining in the courtyard, and the sunlight shone on the dress made of glass brocade, and the folding fan showed brilliant colors. She wore a high-waisted tube-top long dress with a wide-sleeved gauze dress with scattered white magnolia flowers. With the nanny specially re-dressing Su Bijun, she looked like a fairy, as if she was ten years younger.

Not only the three people sitting at the stone table drinking tea were stunned, but the head of the Chang family who had just walked into the courtyard had an obsessed look on his face.

At this moment, he had an illusion that his wife was about to ascend to heaven and leave. In a hurry, he didn't care about the three juniors beside him, and quickly stepped forward to hug his wife.

Mrs. Chang, who was just about to ask her children if it looked good, was hugged by her husband in front of everyone.

After being stunned for a long while, his face flushed with shame and embarrassment, he stretched out his hand to push Chang Hongxuan and said angrily: "Master, what are you doing? The children are watching us!"

Chang Hongxuan finally reacted after hearing what was said, and quickly let go. Turning back, he saw the three siblings looking at him and his wife with sharp eyes. His old face turned red and he coughed lightly.

"Madam, I have never seen this dress before. Is it new?"

Chang Yifei didn't care whether his father was embarrassed or not, and said with a straight face: "Dad, is my mother pretty? Do you think she looks like a fairy?"

Before Chang Hongxuan could speak, Han Duoduo nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, when Aunt Chang came out, I felt like a fairy fell into the mortal world, so beautiful!"

"This dress suits me very well!" Liu Xu nodded in agreement.

"What do you think, Master?" Su Bijun asked shyly.

This scene almost made Chang Hongxuan stunned again. He then put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and whispered, "Very beautiful!"

Then he raised his voice and asked, "Madam, where did you buy this dress? I think it fits me very well. How about having someone send a few more sets? Um... prepare some for our Baoer and Miss Han as well!"

"Dad, you are dreaming. This is made by my godmother for me. It is the only one of its kind!"

"Oh? I don't think we have this style in Yongshun, but it must be a new model from Beijing?" Chang Hongxuan obviously didn't understand what they meant by "one and only one", and just thought that Xu Ruolan only made this one.

He thought the dress was very beautiful and planned to write back to ask his eldest son to buy a few more sets for his wife.

Liu Xu shook her head. The Chang couple were puzzled. Just as they were about to ask again, they heard Han Duoduo say, "Uncle Chang, this style of dress is the only one in Dongsheng. It was the pattern drawn by Junior Sister herself, and Auntie only made this one!"

"What? It was drawn by you, my little sister?" Not only the Chang couple, but also Chang Yifei was stunned.

Chang Yi flew up and down, looking at Liu Xu for a long time, "Little sister, tell me, is there anything you can't do?"

Willow catkins: ...

Chang Hongxuan was also stunned. Yes, this little girl seemed to know a lot of things. It seemed that all the businesses of the Liu family were started by her. And so far, it seemed that no one had lost money.

Looking at my silly son, I thought he was quite smart in the past, but when I compare him with Liu Xu... I feel like comparing goods to goods is a waste.

If Chang Yifei knew what his father was thinking, he would probably be so angry that he would turn into a puffer fish.

"Little sister, how about we open a clothing store?"

Not only Chang Yifei had this idea, Su Bijun also had it.

Liu Xu looked at him speechlessly, "Brother, it's time for Zhenxiu Pavilion to open a branch! And there are also bedding, dried noodles... Do you think you can handle it?"

"Bao'er sees this more clearly than you do, San'er, too much greed never rots!" Chang Hongxuan looked at his son seriously. In his opinion, his son had become a little impetuous in the past six months.

Chang Yifei fell into deep thought upon hearing this and did not speak.

"Okay, you guys can talk about business later. It so happens that the Bai family is having a flower-viewing banquet in a few days. I will wear this outfit then. Will it steal the show?" Su Bijun changed the subject.

"Madam, you can wear whatever you want. You don't need to worry too much in Yongshun Prefecture." Chang Hongxuan said with a smile.

Liu Xu didn't know much about the aristocratic families in the capital, so she didn't say anything.

"Okay! Baoer, tell your mother later that I like this dress very much."

"As long as godmother likes it! When Xu'er has time, I'll draw a few more pictures for godmother, and we can change into them then!" Liu Xu said with a smile, and Su Bijun was so happy that she kept praising her daughter for being thoughtful.

Now that Chang Hongxuan had returned early and there was still some time before dinner, Liu Xu simply suggested that they talk about business first.

Chang Hongxuan took Liu Xu to the study. Su Bijun went back to prepare dinner. Only Han Duoduo was lucky enough to sleep for half an hour.

In the Chang family study, Chang Hongxuan sat at the head of the table, while Liu Xu and his sister sat down separately.

Liu Xu did not waste any time and told the man the purpose of his visit and presented him with the drawings he had prepared in advance.

Chang Hongxuan was very interested in the oil press because, as far as he knew, the price of soybean oil had always remained high. First, soybeans themselves had a low oil yield; second, soybean oil extraction was very troublesome, including grinding, steaming, cake making and oil extraction. With all these calculations, wouldn't the cost increase?

But what Liuxu painted was an oil press that could directly produce oil in one piece. It used a rocker-type manual rotation, and several people could shake it together. It could save at least half of the manpower compared to the previous one, and it could produce more oil faster.

and……

"Bao'er, can godfather send this blueprint to your eldest brother? He is now working in the Ministry of Industry, and some of the things may be useful to him in the future?"

"Of course you can, and we still have the noodle-making machine from before. Now that the Ninth Prince has ascended the throne, we don't have to be as cautious as before. Let's show it to our eldest brother first, maybe he can give us some suggestions." Liu Xu suggested.

"Okay! Godfather thanks you on behalf of your two brothers, my girl!" Chang Hongxuan was very excited.

"Godfather, we have to make one as soon as possible. My third brother and I have already planted the second batch of peppers in our farm. I have also planted a lot more and plan to have Linhe Village plant them as well. When the time comes, we will need soybean oil to make chili sauce..."

It’s not that we can’t buy soybean oil, but the cost is too high. Both chili sauce and mushroom sauce require a lot of oil, and the unit price will not be too cheap, which will greatly reduce the audience.

"Don't worry, I will have someone make it as soon as possible." Chang Hongxuan nodded.

Then a few people talked about the dry noodles.

Although the noodles are a little slower to come out now, after adding alum according to Liu Xu's method, the noodles are indeed much chewier.

As soon as these dried noodles came out, they were snapped up by traveling merchants. With dried noodles, they could travel more conveniently. When they were hungry, they could just boil some water and eat them.

It’s faster than cooking over a fire, and a small amount will produce a large bowl.

If we send this dried noodles to the military camp...

When Chang Hongxuan thought of this, his eyes lit up.
