When Shopkeeper Chen heard this, he thought, "This is the right way to sell it!" Well, with so many chefs here, he should be able to mix the sauce and chili oil to make something similar. So, he decided to buy some cold noodles and sea jelly first.

Zhou Dajiang also anticipated that he would only buy cold noodles and sea jelly. After all, this was a restaurant, and the seasoning of the cold dishes would not be bad. So he didn't hesitate and said directly: "The recipe for cold noodles is complicated, so I'll give you thirty-five taels of silver. The recipe for sea jelly is not difficult, but the ingredients are hard to find. I have some ingredients on hand, so I'll bring some to you tomorrow. You don't have to charge me, I'll give it to you. You can ask someone to buy it elsewhere according to the recipe. It's not sold in this town, I bought it all out. This recipe is cheaper, so I'll give it to you for ten taels of silver."

Shopkeeper Chen did the same thing as last time, which was to bargain again.

Finally, the two men agreed that the business in the village was the one Zhou Dajiang had first arranged with someone, so he could continue to sell it, but he would not open the stall in the town. In return, he would be paid a total of 40 taels of silver for the two prescriptions.

After the terms were agreed upon, the two parties signed a contract.

Adding the remaining ten taels of silver for the previous batch of gadgets, he received another fifty taels of silver.

Zhou Dajiang made an appointment with Manager Chen to bring his wife to teach him how to cook the next day, and then he and Zhou Dahai left the restaurant.

Zhou Dahai followed his second brother back home in a daze. He was very worried about him along the way. He held his brother's sleeve tightly, fearing that someone would rob him.

He had a hundred taels of silver in his arms. For Zhou Dahai, this was the second huge sum of money after the last division of the family. The second brother was really amazing. He got a hundred taels of silver with just a few words!

When they got home, everyone else had also just arrived. Zhou Dajiang and the other two went directly to Laifu Restaurant, while Chen Xiuying waited until she picked up An Ge'er before returning home. Except for Li, everyone else was sitting in the main hall waiting for her.

Li's child was young, and her two older brothers were home last time. This time, although she asked a neighbor to help look after the child when she left, she felt uneasy if she didn't check on the child, so she went back first.

After Zhou Dajiang arrived home, he asked his brother to go in first while he went back to the room to change into a set of shorts and then came out.

Zhou Dahai walked into the main room and smiled when he saw Zhou Dahe. "Third brother, you have work to do again. Go home quickly and let your sister-in-law help you pack your luggage!"

Zhou Dahe was startled, his eyes wide as copper bells, "How many is it this time? It can't be another hundred sets?!"

Zhou Dahai kept it a secret, not revealing the exact number. Honestly, he was shocked when he heard it, so he decided to let his third brother hold onto some hope and go home to pack up before discussing it, so he wouldn't give up.

That lazy guy might be able to do it.

Zhou Dahe ran away in a flash. Zhou Dajiang changed his clothes and came out. Seeing his running back, he was puzzled. Why did he run away first? I haven't even contacted him to place an order yet!

Zhou Dajiang entered the house and first told everyone about the cold noodles and sea jelly. No one reacted much. If they didn't want to go to the market, then they didn't have to. They could make a lot of money supplying the products at home. Besides, going to the market was exhausting, tiring the children and adults. It was better to supply the products at home.

Chen Xiuying was very happy because Fang Zi’s money belonged to her and her first pot of gold had come out!

Then, Zhou Dajiang talked about the new orders. When Zhou's mother heard it, she wondered why the eldest son sent the third son away. If he were here, he would definitely be scared away.

In order to give everyone more motivation, Zhou Dajiang decided to distribute the money to everyone again in the evening after checking today's accounts. At the same time, the public money was also given to his mother to keep. With the money in her hands, the old lady felt more motivated in life.

After distributing the money last time, Zhou Dajiang felt that distributing the money every day was too troublesome, so he agreed with everyone to distribute the money once every ten days. However, today the final payment for the tools was settled, and he happened to go to the market, so it would be okay to distribute it once.

After everything that needed to be said was said, everyone dispersed and went back to their homes, waiting to come back in the evening.

Chen Xiuying didn't let Zhou's mother go. Although she was also busy and tired that morning, the old lady must be even more tired. She didn't want her to go home and cook for herself at noon. She simply made a bowl of noodles with gravy, and everyone had a bowl to eat.

After lunch, Zhou's mother went to Zhou Sisi's room to take a nap. Zhou Sisi and An Ge'er also fell asleep in the big room.

Chen Xiuying and Zhou Dajiang were counting the money in their hands.

Adding the one hundred taels that Zhou Dajiang brought back today, the two of them already had quite a bit of silver in their hands.

Chen Xiuying calculated that after deducting the cost of the next order and the processing fee, and delivering the goods by the end of this month, plus the money from making cold noodles every day, she could save about 180 taels of silver.

After settling the bill, the two looked at each other. Anyway, the residential land had been approved. No matter how big the house was, eighty taels would be enough to make a living in the countryside.

I can finally think about building a house! If I start building it now, I can move in after winter.

Less than two months after traveling to ancient times, I will soon have my own property. It’s really exciting. Happy.JPG

The result of the two people's excitement was that they woke up Zhou Sisi who was dreaming and told her that they were going to build a house and asked her to get up quickly and draw the blueprints!

Zhou Sisi was filled with indignation. Couldn't she just wake up and draw? Was she going to be struck by lightning for disturbing the little girl's sleep? Wait, what kind of picture was she drawing?

Zhou Dajiang solemnly painted a rosy picture for his daughter: "Draw a picture of our house. Don't you want to have a room that truly belongs to you sooner? Now you can make it happen! You can design the room. Are you awake now?"

Zhou Sisi finally came to her senses after hearing this and said in surprise, "We're going to build a house now? That's great! I'm finally going to have my own room!"

The loud cry woke up An Ge'er who was still sleeping, as well as Zhou's mother next door. Zhou's mother hurried over and asked, "What's the matter?"

When she heard about building a house, Zhou's mother nodded and said, "Well, it's time to build it. Otherwise, I'll be jealous of you for all the money you have! If you spend it all, no one will care about it anymore."

Never underestimate the survival wisdom of the elderly. As the saying goes, "An old person in the family is like a treasure." The villagers have sharp eyes. You sell goods every day and bring home money every day, but if you do nothing but hoard it, you will attract thieves! It's better to spend it quickly.

After the two of them decided to build a house, Zhou Dajiang went out. He first went to Tian Youcai's house and ordered 500 sets of handles, agreeing to deliver them in batches, with the first 100 sets to be delivered in three days.

Then, he went to the home of Zhang, the head of the village, and asked Zhang to mark out a residential plot for him. He also asked him about the skilled builders of houses and wells nearby. These days, building houses and digging wells are both crafts, and everyone relies on word of mouth to find people to build them.

It just so happened that one of Village Chief Zhang’s relatives specialized in building houses and digging wells for others. In order to avoid having to bother two people with the same task, Zhou Dajiang entrusted the task of finding someone to build houses and dig wells to Village Chief Zhang.
