Marry a Duke

"Call me Brother Cheng, so don't treat me as an outsider. Consider this money as a loan to you for your daily necessities. When you find a way to make money, return it to me."

Cheng Jiang said.

After losing all his family members, he no longer cared about these material things.

But what belongs to him should be kept carefully.

Now, Fu Ran needs money.

"Brother Cheng, I still have some money on me, enough for us to use for a while. I will find a way to do some business, and I will definitely be able to survive."

Fu Ran didn't want to touch any of their money.

Dongniang's life was not easy, and Alin's life was not rich either.

Brother Cheng's life story is equally pitiful, and money can guarantee them a certain level of happiness.

So does she.

So, next, she has to work hard to make money.

She hopes that one day, her little Wuyou can live the life of a rich lady.

Seeing that she insisted, Cheng Jiang didn't force her to give it to him.

He took the banknote back.

"Fu Ran, I have money on me. If you encounter any difficulties, don't forget to tell me." He regarded her as his sister and just wanted to help her with his little strength.

"Okay, Brother Cheng, don't worry. If I really can't make ends meet, I will definitely come to you."

Fu Ran’s new household registration card had a new name, neither Fu nor Yuchi.

Follow the way these people do.

Her name is Zhao Ling, and her husband's surname is Qian, which is based on the Hundred Family Surnames: Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li. The surname is also very common, and there are many people with the surname Zhao.

Unfortunately, her husband passed away, and she became a widow shortly after giving birth to a daughter. Her husband's family could no longer tolerate her and drove her out.

Dong Niang's name is Zhao Dong, she is her sister, who came to help her take care of the children. As for Cheng Jiang and A Lin, they are brothers who helped Zhao Ling settle down here.

Cheng Jiang's name is Zhao Da and A Lin's name is Zhao Er.

There isn't even a formal name.

Wuyou also gave himself a nickname, An'an, which means peace.

They looked like ordinary people, so no one questioned them.

Fu Ran visited Nanxiang Town for three days and finally decided to make food, as food is the most important thing for people.

People have to eat three meals a day.

Now she is in the south of the Yangtze River, and she can cook some food from the Beijing area for a bit of novelty.

The stall was set up quickly. Dong Niang also had skills and helped out. Fu Ran tried to think of a way to package their stall.

What he made was Ruyi cake, which is quite famous in the Beijing area. It used some common ingredients, red dates, flour, nuts. Fu Ran bought a bunch and tried it several times.

It was not until the taste was almost the same as that bought in Beijing that I decided to set up the stall.

There has been no cooking at home these days, and just eating these failed pastries is enough.

Dong Niang was still a little worried.

"lady--."

"Sister, you can call me sister, or you can call me A-Ling."

Dong Niang was still a little reserved.

A Lin and Cheng Jiang had already started calling her A Ling.

Aling Aling, it’s quite smooth.

"Well, A-Ling, what if the people of Nanxiang don't like the Ruyi cakes we make? We spent quite a bit of money on the ingredients we bought."

"Don't worry, big sister. This is my first batch and I didn't think about making money. In the past two days, A-Lin and I have been going to the streets to invite people to taste the food. They can eat it for free. If they think it tastes good, they can come back to buy it tomorrow."

No need to pay?

The other three were dumbfounded.

"That's because of today's loss. If they don't come to buy tomorrow, we won't know."

"Yes, Ruyi Cake is also ordinary. There must be someone in Nanxiang who has been to the capital. A quick search will tell you the ingredients of Ruyi Cake."

"It doesn't matter. I'll try the Ruyi cake first. If it's okay, I can try other cakes that are not available in the capital." She had eaten a lot of things in her previous life, and she had cooked a lot of them herself.

"Just listen to A Ling." Cheng Jiang said.

Alin shrugged.

He doesn't care.

"Okay, I'll go hawking with you."

On that day, they made two large pieces of Ruyi cake and cut them into small pieces for tasting. There were more than 200 pieces in total, so that more than 200 people could taste it.

A Lin asked her why she didn't make more so that more people could try it, which would bring in more business.

"You have to test everything. If you have too much, it will be unattractive."

"We'll prepare another 100 samples for tasting the day after tomorrow. After the 100 samples are finished, you'll have to buy them if you want to eat them. And we'll prepare 50 samples for tasting the day after tomorrow—."

Alin's eyes widened.

I didn't expect she had this skill.

This is a bait.

I saw others trying it and it tasted pretty good, so I would buy some if I came across it.

Alin looked excited.

"A Ling, you are a business genius." He shouted, "Let's go right away."

Fu Ran asked Dong Niang to take good care of Wuyou and Cheng Jiang to look after the house.

With Cheng Jiang around, Fu Ran has nothing to worry about.

We gave out samples on the first day, and no one liked to eat the free stuff at first. But when they heard that it was a snack from Beijing, Beijing sounded like a high-end place.

Some people will never be able to go to the capital city in their entire life, nor will they be able to see anything in the capital city.

Someone has confirmed that Ruyi cakes are indeed sold in the capital.

This time, someone came to try it immediately.

It tastes really good.

The taste is completely different from the local food in Nanxiang.

So fresh.

In the blink of an eye, the 200 samples were distributed.

Later, some people who hadn’t tasted it were a little dissatisfied.

"Why don't you prepare more, little girl? We haven't tasted anything yet."

"Don't worry, we have prepared 200 copies today, and there will be more tomorrow. We will still be in the same place tomorrow. Everyone come early and we will distribute them until they are all gone." Alin shouted loudly.

Someone responded immediately and said they would come tomorrow.

That night, Fu Ran and Dong Niang began to prepare the Ruyi ingredients to be sold the next day.

I continued to work until late at night.

This job is quite tiring.

Fu Ran promised that as long as she made money, she would share it equally with everyone and would never let anyone down.

Distribution must be according to work.

Dong Niang was also quite willing. After coaxing Wuyou, she accompanied Fu Ran to do it.

Earn as much as you can.

The next morning, Fu Ran and A Lin went to the street again carrying their loads.

This time, I did twice as much as yesterday.

But there are only 100 samples available for tasting.

New things are fresh and novel, so Fu Ran also organized a tasting session. Anyone who has eaten them will buy some, try them themselves, and take some home for their family to try.

"Not bad, not bad. It tastes very good. My mother hasn't tasted it yet. I'll buy a piece and let her try it at home." Some people are filial sons. They think about their mothers at home while eating.

"Not only does it taste good, it also looks good. My wife loves to see delicious food. I want two servings."

With one person on the left and one person on the right, the Ruyi cakes were sold out in about an hour.

Fu Ran took inventory.

The first battle was a good success. In addition to the money given away, I earned twenty taels.

After deducting the cost of yesterday's free service, I made back ten taels of silver.

"We'll prepare fifty more free ones tomorrow. The first three days of free will be over. After that we'll have other activities, buy three and get one free." Fu Ran also made a sign.

Anyone who can read can understand it at a glance.

There were also illiterate people, but Alin had a loud voice and could shout.
