Huaihua didn't dare to see her mother when she returned home, but the more she feared something, the more likely it would come.

Zhaodi: "Huaihua, you're back, why don't you say hello to mom?"

Huaihua smiled and said, "No, mother, I just came back and didn't see you at all. Besides, you are my biological mother, how could I not say hello to you."

Zhaodi also smiled and said, "Huaihua, how is the matter going? Sanniu loves you so much, there must be no problem with these small things."

Huaihua lowered her head and said, "Mom, Sanniu said things are difficult to handle. He doesn't know the formula at all, and he doesn't care about things in the workshop. Everything is managed by his eldest brother and second brother. In addition, the reason why the soap smells good is because of the spices. The spices are kept in his mother's room, and Sanniu can't touch them. He will only take out as much as he needs. He won't just leave them in the workshop casually. The management is very strict."

Zhaodi looked at Huaihua's useless appearance and said, "You are a waste. You can't do anything right. Look at your sister. She can do everything. At least she found out some formulas or got some materials before. Look at you. You can't find anything. You have nothing. I don't know what's the point of raising you. It's better for your eldest sister to do better. Among all the sisters, I like your eldest sister the most. Who told her to do better for me? Unlike you, you become less capable every day."

"What about the preserved eggs? Did you bring back your mother's favorite preserved eggs this time? Sanniu is really stingy. He always brings back a few preserved eggs. They are not enough for your mother to fill her teeth. Huaihua, you know what, the preserved eggs are small, they don't look good, and they don't smell good either. But they taste really good. Sanniu brought back a few more preserved eggs this time."

Huaihua didn't say anything and just kept staring at the ground.

Zhaodi looked at Huaihua without saying anything, and just patted her forehead. "You silly girl, why are you looking at the ground? There is no preserved egg on the ground. Where did you hide the preserved egg? Take it out for me quickly. Your mother wants to eat it now."

Huaihua mustered up her courage and said, "Mom, there will be no more preserved eggs in the future. Sanniu said that preserved eggs are hard to get now, so they have given them to their uncle's family to make. There are only a few preserved eggs for our family to eat, and if we take them again, we will be discovered. And the preserved eggs they eat now are only brought back from their uncle occasionally. Sanniu also made it clear that he will not take preserved eggs in the future. If you want to eat them, you can go to town to buy them. It doesn't cost much money, mom."

Zhaodi looked at Huaihua with big eyes: "Huaihua, are you telling the truth? Is that what Sanniu said?"

Huaihua looked at Zhaodi and said, "Yes, mother, there will be no more in the future."

Zhaodi said angrily: "You dead girl, you don't even have this little bit of charm. Not only can you not get the recipe, but now you can't even eat preserved eggs. At least you could eat a little bit before."

Huaihua: "Mom, go to town and buy some."

Zhaodi: "You silly girl, don't you charge for buying them? 8 coins each, and they're so small. If I want to eat as much as I want, with so many people at home, I'll have to buy at least a dozen at a time, which costs more than a hundred coins. Do you think money is so easy to earn, and it just comes from the wind?"

Huaihua: "Mother, when my eldest sister got married, weren't the 50 taels of silver all with you? And weren't the 200 taels of silver that Wang Yuanwai gave her a few days ago also with you? I don't know how many preserved eggs you can buy with so much silver. It won't cost much if you buy a dozen."

"You silly girl, since you are thinking about my little bit of money, you must be tired of living." After saying this, Zhaodi started to beat and scold Huaihua, and Huaihua was beaten so hard that she locked the door and dared not come out at all.

"You silly girl, do you still dare to tell me that? The money belongs to your brother, don't even think about it. You are such a loser, I tell you, if you mess up, you will marry Wang Quezi from the next village."

"You silly girl, you have to pray that Sanniu will marry you. Even if he does, I will torture you. You will never be able to escape from my grasp."

Huaihua squatted in the house and cried silently.

"Cousin, how is the matter going? Why haven't you heard from me for so long? What a bunch of nonsense, they just take the money but don't do anything."

"Don't worry, cousin. We are already working on it. A batch of soap has already come out, right? Look, I brought you a few pieces. Take a look."

The cousin said impatiently, "Come on, cousin, these are just junk. No one buys them on the market, and the cost of making them is not cheap. The key is that the fragrance is too pungent. I dare not use them at all. Those housekeepers and rich ladies, we can tell the fragrance of medical products and the brand as soon as we smell them."

"No one in our circle uses this stuff. We don't even like it."

Wang Zheng patiently replied: "Cousin, we are still planning, please wait patiently."

"Cousin, it's not that I'm impatient, you just don't know how big the profit is. It sells for 8 taels of silver here. Do you know that this soap sells for more than 10 taels of silver in the imperial capital, or even more than 20 taels? Now many soaps of different flavors have been sold out, and there is no market for them. I heard that there is also a perfume with a different scent. You only need to spray a little on your body, and the fragrance will last for a long time, not to mention a day, half a day is no problem."

"All of this was done by that village girl. She's just a powerless village girl whose husband died. What are you afraid of?"

"Besides, our master is the county magistrate. You should think of a way, cousin."

Wang Zheng touched his cousin's hand and said, "Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely make it happen for you. You will have endless money in the future. Are these things so popular in the imperial capital now?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I always brag about you? You should hurry up and do it. The sooner we do it, the sooner we can make money. If the people doing the work are not capable, you can just replace them. We have plenty of lackeys, so there is no need for you to do it alone."

Wang Zheng thought for a while and said, "Cousin, it's better to keep this kind of thing secret, because we don't know what will happen in the future. If something goes wrong with one person, he can take the blame, and it will be easier to deal with it in the future. If there are too many people, there will be too many mouths."

The cousin said coquettishly, "Okay, cousin. You have to hold on tight. This thing will continue to be popular. If you want to make money, you have to make money from rich people. Their money is not only easy to make, but you can make money all the time. The money from those peasants is not only hard to make, but also small, and it's troublesome and slow."
