After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

As soon as she pushed the cart, Qian Fengping discovered the grate.

But Fang Tong was covered in injuries, and she was so anxious that she forgot to ask.

"Uncle Fang, did you bring the documents back?"

At the door of the west room, Qin Yan and Fang Nanzhi stuck their heads out at some point and listened for a while before speaking.

Fang Nanzhi ran out with her short legs and snuggled up to her father, but said nothing.

The little girl was definitely worried about her father being injured, but she was used to it.

Dad fights often. Sometimes he wins, and sometimes he loses. It's normal for him to get injured.

Fang Tong touched her head, then took out the document from his arms.

Handed it to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan took a look and frowned.

"This business is too big for us to handle alone."

Even though we now have a steamer, the time for steaming cakes can be shortened, but the process of making cakes is still very complicated.

"The hardest part is beating the eggs. We have to make at least fifteen pots a day. It's not easy to beat fifteen pots of eggs. Why not hire someone?"

Qin Yan continued.

"Hire someone?"

Qian Fengping was puzzled. Their family couldn't even afford to eat every meal, so they spent money to hire people to do the work?

"Nowadays, every household is struggling to make ends meet. It's easy to hire people, but I'm afraid they might have ulterior motives."

Fang Tonglu thought about hiring someone, but he also had his own concerns.

"After all, this cake is our family secret recipe. What if they steal it?"

"Yes, this is something we have to guard against."

Qian Fengping nodded in agreement.

Instead, Qin Yan smiled faintly and took the initiative to speak.

"Uncle Fang, I think your brothers, Uncle Erwa and the others are the ones who can be used."

In several cases where the Qin family had affairs, Erwa and his friends were the first to rush forward.

In the past, villagers said that Fang Tong and his friends were just bad friends, but through their interactions, Qin Yan could see that they were very friendly and loyal, so he could trust them.

Fang Tong had no objection, and at the same time he secretly admired his cheap stepson's attentiveness.

This is to give him face, otherwise it would not be difficult to find people for the Qin family's business.

Of course, he had no doubts about his brothers.

"Okay! I'll tell them. Also, we need ten kilograms of chestnuts a day. I don't think the few we pick will last long."

Qian Fengping nodded.

She is the chef and knows the food at home best.

Even if she found time to pick them, there would only be more than 200 kilograms, but these were with the chestnut shells, and there would not be much left after removing the shells.

"Otherwise, just buy it in the village."

Qin Yan raised his head, his tone negotiating.

"It's not impossible." Fang Tong touched his chin and hit the wound, which made him grimace in pain. "Hiss! But chestnuts are heavy. Ten pounds of chestnuts will produce four pounds of shells, so the price must be determined."

"How about five cents a pound? Shelled."

Qin Yan thought for a moment before speaking.

The price is not high, but they are the only one selling it at the moment.

"Five cents a pound?" Qian Fengping was used to being frugal, but she wasn't as open-minded as her son. She felt very distressed: "This is too expensive. Picking chestnuts in the mountains outside is free. Four pounds of chestnuts can buy a pound of pork!"

If Qian Fengping had known that the owner of Qingfeng Tower liked sugar-roasted chestnuts, she would have definitely picked up more.

Fang Tong knew what Qian Niang meant, and smiled as he took out his purse from his arms and handed it to her.

"This is the money given by the shopkeepers of Juxianglou and Qingfenglou today. Please count it."

Qian Fengping took the purse and was shocked by its heavy feel.

"Why is it more than yesterday?"

"They all wanted our cakes, and the chestnuts too. The owner of Qingfeng Tower settled all the bills for today directly." Fang Tong said with a smile.

"Uncle San, how much does Shopkeeper Wan want per pound of sugar-roasted chestnuts?"

Qin Yan understood his hidden meaning and asked the key point.

"Twenty cents."

Although he had expected it, the price still scared Qin Yan.

"Manager Wan is really generous. It seems we can make a profit by buying chestnuts at five cents a pound."

Qin Yan pondered for a moment and continued, "There are many families in the village who can't even afford to eat, and they rely on chestnuts to survive. But eating chestnuts every day isn't pleasant, and they're not as good as regular grain. They can sell the chestnuts and buy some brown rice to support themselves."

"Then I'll listen to you."

Qian Fengping received the money and felt confident and no longer panicked.

The family discussed it and took action immediately.

After all, the goods have to be delivered tomorrow and we can’t afford to delay.

"Zhizhi." Fang Tong called his daughter, "Go call your uncle Erwa and the others over."

"Order."

Fang Nanzhi responded playfully, and ran away proudly and confidently.

Dad is so amazing. He expanded his business just by going to the city!

Not long after the little girl ran out of the door, she unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

The weather was scorching hot. Fang Yaqing sat in the shade of a tree with her head down, wearing clean and simple clothes, fiddling with something in her hands.

Fang Nanzhi moved closer and saw that she was holding needle and thread and embroidering a pattern.

"It's Zhizhi."

Fang Yaqing saw the little girl at a glance, snorted coldly, and did not stop her hands.

She will return to the Earl's Mansion to be the eldest daughter in the future. Young ladies attach great importance to needlework, so she has been practicing diligently these days.

She pricked her fingers twice, and the pain made her cry, but she had to persevere.

"Zhizhi, judging from your appearance, you're not having a good time in the Qin family, are you?"

Fang Yaqing smiled and looked at Fang Nanzhi, who was still wearing coarse cloth.

When she first learned that Fang Tong was marrying into the Qin family, she thought that Fang Nanzhi would have a hard time.

Although Qin Yan was in a wheelchair, he had the support of the head of the Qin family. Fang Nanzhi, the external burden, would definitely not be welcomed.

"But you're not having a good life, and that's not my fault. It's your fate as a country bumpkin. Unlike me, I'm destined to be the eldest daughter of a rich man. Everyone has their own destiny, and you have to accept it."

Fang Yaqing's voice was arrogant, full of contempt for Fang Nanzhi.

Fang Nanzhi tilted his head and looked at Fang Yaqing as if she was a fool.

Why do I always feel that my cousin’s brain is getting worse and worse?

Not only does he talk to himself, but he also always says things that are incomprehensible.

She looked at the embroidery in Fang Yaqing's hands and couldn't help but smile with her hands on her hips.

Fang Yaqing frowned. Could it be that this girl was so angry that she went stupid?

"why are you laughing?"

"Cousin, is being a young lady all you have to do in the future is embroider fat ducks for others every day?"

"What fat duck? This is a mandarin duck!"

Fang Yaqing was very angry and glared at Fang Nanzhi with gritted teeth.

"No, this isn't a mandarin duck." Fang Nanzhi shook his head and said seriously, "I've seen what a mandarin duck looks like. It was on the quilt my aunt used for her wedding."

When a family in the village got married, Fang Nanzhi went to attend the wedding banquet. She saw the red quilt in the inner room, which was very beautiful.

The bride said that the embroidery on it was of mandarin ducks, symbolizing love between the couple and a happy life.

Fang Nanzhi came forward and stretched her neck to look: "You are obviously a fat duck, cousin, you should not waste your needle and thread, it doesn't look good at all."
