Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

This is the business that Xu Siyu left for the Xu family, the job of collecting duck feathers. In addition to the eldest brother's family doing it, the eldest sister's family also collects it for Xu Siyu through the channel of her brother-in-law.

Of course Lin Yiqing can help if he is willing to.

Lin Yiqing felt uncomfortable being isolated, but she still agreed. Someone even kindly offered to reserve a shop for her next to the Lin family cloth shop in the county.

"Let's talk about it later." Xu Siyu didn't want to owe anyone any more favors. The stalls in the town were obviously enough now.

……

With Xu Ji's goal in mind, Xu Siyu asked Xu Nianyue to think about embroidering a hidden pattern in the appropriate position when sewing to serve as a trademark.

Xu Huaishan's family's collection of duck feathers and duck breeding were both open, and Xu Huaize heard that Xiang Manlou had also started collecting duck feathers, and his intuition was that Xu Siyu was cooperating with the boss again.

That day, he came to the door with a basket of peaches, using the excuse of discussing the marriage of Cheng Jie and Cheng Lin with Xu Wangshi, but in fact he came to inquire about Xu Siyu's business.

Xu Wangshi did not make the final decision on Cheng Qi and Nian Yue's marriage. After listening to Xu Huaize's description of the Yu family's situation, she felt that it was almost done and asked him to leave, as if she did not notice Xu Huaize's expression of wanting to talk to Xu Siyu alone.

When the voices left the small courtyard and Xu Nianyue came back after bolting the door, Xu Wangshi sent Xu Nianyue to the kitchen and talked to Xu Siyu alone.

Seeing that Xu Wang was in a low mood, Xu Siyu asked, "Mother, are you not satisfied with Cheng Lin's wife?"

Xu Wangshi waved her hand and replied, "That was chosen by the Third Elder Family. It doesn't matter whether I am satisfied or not."

Because they are twins, Xu Huaize plans to have Xu Chengjie and Xu Chenglin get married on the same day.

Xu Chengjie had been engaged to his uncle's daughter since he was young, and the girl Xu Chenglin was going to marry, Yu Jinniang, was the daughter of a family that worked as a helper in Xiangmanlou with Xu Huaize.

Their character and family background are unclear, but they should be similar to the Xu family.

"After we moved to the town, your eldest brother came four or five times, Chengqi came often; your eldest sister came to visit every two or three days; and your third brother, except for the time when we moved, this is the first time he came." Xu Wangshi looked at the basket of peaches and said, as if counting the number of times her children were close to her.

Then, he smiled and said, "It's still better than your second brother. I wonder where that family went. How are they doing?"

Yes, we can always tell whether people in Yunyang Town are doing well or not, but if there is no news from those who have left, only God knows.

Xu Wang patted Xu Siyu's hand and said, "Your eldest brother and eldest sister look like your father. The third child looks most like me. But I don't know who your second brother looks like. He's lazy and useless."

"Hmm?" Xu Siyu listened. Why wasn't she there? She leaned her head into Xu Wangshi's arms and asked, "Mom, what about me? Am I more like you or Dad?"

"You're the most amazing. You've inherited all the best qualities from me and your father. You're the most capable and filial!" Mrs. Xu Wang stroked Xu Siyu's hair, seeing the little girl's happiness, and added, "It's just... you have a stubborn temper and can't stand being wronged..."

Xu Siyu: ...

"The third brother has some small thoughts, but he is also your brother. If you are willing to support your eldest brother and eldest sister, don't be too cold to him."

They are all Xu Wang's children. She is partial, but never ignores anyone.

All Xu Huaize wanted was to earn more money and live a better life. Who would be wrong in doing this?

Wasn’t it because Xu Wangshi was very careful with money that she was able to lead the Xu family for so many years?

Since Mrs. Xu Wang has spoken, Xu Siyu will of course agree.

As for collecting duck feathers, I originally went to my third sister-in-law, but she was dissatisfied and refused to collect them, so I went to my eldest sister-in-law. Now everyone is doing it together.

Xu Siyu asked Xu Chengqi to convey a message to Xu Huaize, and Xu Huaize was very happy.

Although he didn't get any more benefits this time, and he knew that he couldn't make much money from collecting duck feathers, he was satisfied to have his younger sister's care just like his elder brother's family.

……

In the summer, under the mottled shadows of the trees in the courtyard, Xu Siyu asked Lin Yiqing to come and hand over the prescription.

"Cow's or goat's milk is heat-killed to remove water, and sugar is added to sweeten it... The milk is allowed to stand, and the oil is removed. It is then centrifuged and stirred in the same direction to remove water and solidify... Store in a cool, dark place."

Xu Siyu churned out several buckets of milk at home before she came up with the initial recipes for condensed milk and butter.

"The flour should be fine, preferably soft wheat flour. If using regular flour, mix it with corn starch in a ratio of 70:30..."

Dalichao has corn, but Xu Siyu has never seen corn starch on the market, so she thoughtfully gave the method of extracting corn starch.

"So complicated?" Lin Yiqing looked at Xu Siyu with complicated eyes.

This recipe for condensed milk, butter, flour, corn starch... these are not the same recipe. No wonder the Lin family's pastry chefs tasted all the ingredients but still couldn't figure out the technique.

"Ah, it takes a lot of labor." Xu Siyu wrote a lot, and used self-righteousness to cover up her guilty conscience, for fear that Lin Yiqing would find out that after the materials were spread out, the cost of the pastry was less than thirty cents.

But he was obviously not on the same page with her.

Lin Yiqing smiled. This girl is so precious.

Since she had been honest with him, he would give her some of his profits in the future.

Lin Yiqing knocked on Xu Siyu's head with a stack of prescriptions: "You have a really weird head!"

Xu Siyu hugged her head. No, did her head offend him?

Always moving her head.

Even though the beating was light, what if he became stupid?

She stared at him fiercely and threatened him, "I've given you everything I have. I'm going to check the accounts and settle my interest with you."

"Okay." Lin Yiqing wanted to pat his head again, but Xu Siyu dodged him.

As the number of duck feathers increased, Xu Nianyue became busier, but every time she took out duck feathers, they were bought by the escort team.

Xu Siyu didn't ask where the products were sold. In Xu Siyu's opinion, there should be boundaries between manufacturers and distributors.

As summer came and went, Xu Nianyue counted the money again. She had earned another 1,520 coins in wages in the past six months. In less than a year, she had almost saved up two taels of silver, and the same was true at home.

By this calculation, it is not worse than the income of the helpers in town from my third uncle's family.

Her father still farms and has a harvest, which is something her third uncle's family doesn't have.

Xu Nianyue knew that only her family could get wages after collecting duck feathers. Her aunt did not tell her third uncle about this. When her eldest brother brought the wages home, she specifically reminded him not to tell anyone, otherwise her aunt would not lead his family to make money.

Although Xu Chengqi is honest, he also knows the principle of hoarding money.

He did whatever his sister-in-law arranged.

So, the eldest family quietly and honestly followed Xu Siyu, making a small fortune...

She no longer had to act in the pastry making process herself, as someone else would take care of the collection and washing of duck down and cloth. Xu Siyu had nothing else to do except pouring medicine, spraying coatings, and drying the wool and cloth in the sun.

Apart from accompanying Xu Wangshi, it seems that there is nothing else to do every day.
