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

After telling him to have a good rest, Jin Ke left.

But as soon as he left, Jin Yunting opened his eyes again, his heart sinking.

Uncle Seven must have gone out to do something, I wonder if Uncle Six knows.

For some reason, he always felt that what Uncle Qi did was related to Fang Nanzhi.

The snowflakes began to fall again.

After finishing the medical records, Fang Nanzhi was distracted by the heavy snow outside the window.

It’s just the beginning of winter, and it’s snowed several times in a row. Will this winter be too cold?

Fang Tong and several officials from the Ministry of Revenue were standing on the second floor of a small shop.

"Crack!"

The sound of firecrackers rang out, and downstairs was bustling with dragon and lion dances.

Today is the opening day of "Xiyangyang".

It is a shop selling sweaters, scarves, and woolen trousers. It is run by the Ministry of Revenue and supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture, and the profits belong to the Ministry of War.

The name Xiyangyang was chosen by Fang Tong. In the ears of those well-read civil servants, it sounded very crude and unpresentable.

However, the Ministry of War supported it, so it was decided.

"Master Fang, isn't this store a little small?"

There are only two floors, and each floor is only a hundred steps long.

Fang Tong tried hard to suppress the urge to roll his eyes and maintain the respect that a subordinate should have for his superior.

"Master Qiu, this shop is very expensive and exquisite. Only good service and good styles can keep customers."

Qiu Pingzhang was an official of the Ministry of Revenue, holding the sixth rank.

He is not a high-ranking official, but he is still a powerful figure.

He was somewhat dissatisfied with Fang Tong's timidity. If the shop jointly opened by the three departments was not run smoothly, wouldn't it be a disgrace?

I felt that Fang Tong came from the countryside, and even though he became an official, he still had a petty air.

He looked down on Fang Tong, and Fang Tong looked down on him.

I think he has become stupid from reading too much. After all, their shop is a clothing store or a cloth shop.

The current scale of the store is large enough among the garment shops in Beijing, if not the best.

Mr. Qiu wanted a bigger one. He wanted to buy several shops, connect them together, and build a shop from scratch.

You really don't feel bad about spending your own money. The Ministry of Revenue always says that the treasury is empty, so why are you pretending to be generous now?

Fang Tong didn't know that there was a huge difference between building a new shop and buying a ready-made one.

The manpower, material resources, wood used to build the shop, etc. can all be used to make a profit.

The Xiyangyang shop is open, but the profits don't belong to the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue still has to manage its operations. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue must find a way to get some of the money back from other places, right?

But Fang Tong didn't know whether he was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, and Qiu Pingzhang didn't dare to really expose the truth.

If you raise your hand, I will get some benefits and give you some soup. It will be good for both of us.

She was afraid that he would tell Fang Yin and let the emperor know.

Downstairs, after the dragon and lion dance, a group of pretty girls came out.

This is a dancer from the Jiaofangsi, borrowed by Fang Tong.

These dancers were different from the previous ones. They were dressed in flowing and bright clothes. One of them was wearing a cotton coat and trousers, and a bright red scarf around her neck.

Of course, it wasn't Fang Tong who dyed the scarf.

No matter how much he knew, he was not omnipotent. The Ministry of Revenue invited a dyeing master to mix the ingredients.

Fang Tong watched it and felt that professionals should do professional things.

The color turned out so beautiful.

To this end, he even invited officials headed by Qiu Pingzhang to drink, saying that he wanted to use a back door.

I gave it to a few officials from the Ministry of Revenue to create some anticipation, but he ended up asking the master to take some time to dye a few scarves, sweaters, etc. for him first.

He said he wanted to give it to his wife and children.

Several adults: ...

Is it really necessary to use this backdoor?

But apart from not being able to collude with each other, the adults actually have a good impression of each other's copper.

This guy is really outgoing and can chat with anyone. He is not a bad person and always has some interesting ideas.

For example, the dancers below, I originally thought that they would be unsightly when dancing in such bulky clothes.

But Fang Tong discussed with the head dance teacher and decided to create a new, powerful dance.

At this moment, someone was playing the piano and blowing music as accompaniment, and the dancers were twisting their arms and legs. There was no sense of enchantment or seduction, but instead a cheerful and down-to-earth feeling.

The smiling faces of the little girls are brighter against the backdrop of the red scarves.

The onlookers were seeing something like this for the first time and some were reluctant to leave.

As a result, on the first day of Xiyangyang’s opening, the red scarves sold out.

Later, Miss Jin and Meng Lan came twice with their friends. The ladies had good taste and, in addition to red, they also liked beige, purple and white scarves.

The winter wind of wearing a scarf blew all over the capital.

There are also sweaters. Soon a lady discovered that sweaters look better when paired with scarves.

It's just cold, so I need a coat.

But when the ladies gathered in the warm room, they took off their coats, revealing their long woolen skirts and long scarves, which looked really playful and generous.

As for woolen pants, it is really difficult to wear them outside to meet people, so they are meant to be worn inside.

But it quickly became a household name thanks to its warmth-keeping effect.

Fang Tong thought that the cashmere clothes could not be sold and had to be supplied to the soldiers at the border first, otherwise, they would probably sell out.

In short, this shop was doing well. The emperor heard about it and praised Fang Tong at the court meeting.

Fang Tong didn't hear it, but Fang Yin relayed it to him, which made him very happy.

Also during these few days, Wu Dongjia held a new cake promotion.

Qian Fengping was helpless. She had too many things to do, especially her second brother's marriage, which she had to take care of. She really couldn't attend in person. She was the one who came up with all the new products, but she couldn't show them in person.

But we can't continue to delay because of her.

Wu Dongjia has changed the time twice.

However, Mr. Wu is really good at business. He held a lucky draw for his new cakes. The highest reward was to learn how to make the same pastry from Qian Fengping, the cake master.

When this reward was announced, the common people were not too excited, but their peers were.

Many pastry chefs got involved.

The cake party turned into a pastry chef tasting session, and it was very lively.

As a result, Qian Fengping's reputation spread far and wide.

The adults in Sinong Temple, especially those who knew Fang Tong, all vaguely saw Qian Fengping's ability to make money.

It turns out that what Fang Tong said before, that he was also living off his wife after becoming an official, was not false.

His colleagues felt a little sympathy for his lack of authority as a husband, but also a little envious.

Fang Tong doesn't need sympathy, he is living a good life.

The day before Fang Yin's wedding, the Fang family had already decorated the house with big red wedding characters and lanterns everywhere, and the servants were running back and forth, making the final arrangements.

Qian Fengping was busy running around, checking here and making arrangements there.

Fang Tong followed his wife around, causing trouble from time to time and giving some other ideas.

They were getting married tomorrow, but he was just coming up with the idea now, which made Qian Fengping unable to help but pinch him.
