The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

Satisfied with your head.

Xu Yingtao said with her remaining patience: "Shopkeeper Jin is indeed joking. To be honest, even if we follow your cooperation plan, I will not hide it from you. When Shopkeeper Sun wanted to buy my prescription, he offered 600 taels. Since you said you are willing to buy it three times, I wonder if you can accept this 1,800 taels?"

Jin Erxi took a deep breath. He thought Hongbinlou would only offer one hundred taels.

Xu Yingtao added: "Among the products I sell to Zui Xiang Lou now, the red oil is 2 liang per jin, and the marinade is 100 wen per bag..."

After listening to her slowly reporting the details, Jin Erxi's face almost turned green.

No matter which option was chosen, he couldn't afford to pay three times the price.

In this case, there is no need to continue discussing this cooperation.

Not sure if he was angry at himself for making such a boast or angry at Xu Yingtao for not giving him face, before leaving the teahouse, Jin Erxi said something vicious: "Just wait for me!"

Xu Yingtao also drank up all the Biluochun tea in the teapot angrily. It was so expensive!

She couldn't bear to waste it.

Back in front of the stall, Jiang and Zhao came forward together to show concern.

"Cherry, how's it going? Did you make the deal?"

"Why did I see that Shopkeeper Jin looked unhappy when he walked out of the teahouse?"

Xie Bai and Xie Li also looked worried.

Xu Yingtao smiled and comforted: "When it comes to business, success and failure are both normal. Don't take it to heart."

Having said that, she couldn't be so careless as to ignore Jin Erxi's final threat.

After closing the stall, Xu Yingtao specially left two portions of spicy noodles for Shopkeeper Luo and Doctor Wen, and asked them about Jin Erxi's personality.

Then she learned most of Jin Erxi's background information.

Jin Erxi, a native of Bailong Town, was naughty and domineering since childhood. Later, his elder sister married Ding, the shopkeeper of Zuixianglou, as his second wife. He then rose to prominence from an accountant to the second shopkeeper.

This man has always been arrogant and looks down on anyone poorer than him. The only person who can control him is his brother-in-law.

Xu Yingtao understood. After bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Luo and Doctor Wen, she and her three daughters inquired together and found Shopkeeper Ding's house.

That's right, she's going to file a complaint.

It's that simple, crude and direct.

According to Manager Luo, Manager Ding has been doing business in Bailong Town for decades. He is not a bad person and is a man with dignity. If he knew that his brother-in-law was threatening a young widow, she didn't believe that Manager Ding would just stand by and watch.

However, Xu Yingtao didn't even step into the Ding family's door.

The reason was very simple. When the gatekeeper heard that she was looking for his master, he chased her out without saying a word and did not even listen to any of her explanations. Even bribes such as money were of no use.

Xu Yingtao's heart sank.

She didn't think that Manager Ding was deliberately refusing to see her, but that the servant of the Ding residence had known that she was coming early in the morning and blocked her entry.

I originally thought Jin Erxi was a good-for-nothing, but now it seems that he is not stupid.

Jiang said worriedly, "Cherry, otherwise, why don't we set up the stall these days?"

Xu Yingtao smiled and said, "Mom, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. We can't just not come to town in the future."

If Jin Erxi was determined to punish her, she would have no way of escaping.

Besides, nowadays, she can earn several taels of silver every day just by setting up a stall selling cold noodles and spicy strips. She will not go against money.

What's more, after all this trouble, she was not discouraged at all, but instead her fighting spirit was ignited.

She wanted to see what tricks that guy could come up with.

Once back in the village, Xu Yingtao was invited by each household to provide guidance on fertilizer making as usual.

Jiang knew that she was busy, so she led the mule and took the two children home to prepare lunch.

Now the ammonium sulfate gypsum mixed fertilizer has completed fermentation. Every household has mixed new gypsum powder and is drying and dehydrating it.

After Xu Yingtao's round of visits, she found that there were basically no major problems except that a few families were reluctant to use gypsum powder, resulting in the fertilizer being too dilute.

Within three days, the whole village will be able to plant wheat.

At that time, fertilizer and wheat seeds are spread into the ground together, and then topdressing is done three times during the tillering stage, jointing stage and filling stage, and the work will be done.

Although Xu Yingtao could not guarantee that the wheat yield could be greatly increased, she conservatively estimated that after this operation, there would be no problem in harvesting an extra 100 kilograms of wheat.

After refusing the meals offered by other families, Xu Yingtao smelled the aroma of rice wafting from the kitchen as soon as she stepped into the yard.

When Jiang saw her enter the kitchen, she asked with concern, "Are you done? Are you tired? Go and have a rest. We don't need your help here."

Xu Yingtao smiled and shook her head. She flared her nose and sniffed, then asked, "Eggplant stewed with meat?"

"You have a really good nose. Go take a rest first. I'll be right back."

"Add more garlic." Xu Yingtao said with a smile.

If you don’t add garlic to eggplant, the aroma will be half as good.

"I know. They're all peeled and in the bowl."

Jiang has learned a lot of cooking and seasoning techniques after studying with her for some time.

"Where are they?" Xu Yingtao looked around but didn't see anyone.

Jiang smiled and said, "I went to Zheng's house to tie up the mule."

Xu Yingtao washed her hands with water, took out half a bowl of plump and clean garlic from the cupboard, and quickly chopped it into minced garlic.

He opened the lid of the pot, poured all the minced garlic into the pot, and said while frying, "I want to go to the county town in a few days."

As they were talking, the rich aroma of garlic filled the entire kitchen. Xu Yingtao dipped the tip of her chopsticks in some of the soup and tasted it. It tasted good, but a little bland, so she added some salt.

Jiang paused while adding firewood.

"To discuss business?"

Xu Yingtao nodded: "A living person can't be suffocated to death by urine. If Zui Xiang Lou doesn't want to cooperate, we will find new customers."

……

Xu Yingtao has always been on guard against Jin Erxi trying to trip her up, so since she set up the stall this morning, she asked the two brothers from the eldest house to stand guard not far away, so that if anyone really came to overturn the stall, they could come to support her in time.

Uncle Awen was also asked to guard the intersection. If he saw that the situation was not right, he would go to Gejiazhuang for help. As the manager of Bailong Town, the Ge family had the obligation to protect the peace of the town.

After completing all preparations, Xu Yingtao officially opened the restaurant to welcome customers.

Now that she has made money, her stall is no longer as shabby as before. It is equipped with low tables and benches for customers to dine at, and she can just leave it at the bun shop after closing the stall.

Business is booming as usual.

Xu Yingtao was greeting old customers enthusiastically when she heard a man slamming the table and shouting, "What a black-hearted store owner! I spent thirty cents to buy spicy noodles, but I found a dead rat in it. Such expensive food is so dirty, what are you thinking?!"

As he spoke, he picked out the dead rats from the bamboo basket and threw them onto the table, causing an uproar among the diners.

Some people couldn't stand the disgusting scene and started retching.

The woman sitting opposite him also exclaimed: "Come and see, there are dead flies in this jelly and cold noodles!"

All the diners now felt their stomachs churning.
