After farming, I opened a family tree

The backyard of Yueren Pavilion.

As soon as Shen Tang came in, he was taken to the backyard alone by Madam Xiang.

The other party mysteriously took out a box and stuffed it into her arms, raising his eyebrows happily.

Shen Tang opened the box and found a thick stack of banknotes inside.

Then I heard Xiang Niang's happy voice,

"Sister Tang, this is a big deal. Do you know who bought double the white soap?"

"I heard she's the daughter of the Minister of Revenue in the capital. Her mother's family is in Lin'an. She came to Jiangnan to visit her maternal grandfather near the end of the year. I heard this from the noble ladies."

Xiang Niangzi's rouge business is one of the best in Qingshan Town, so naturally she heard some news.

Shen Tang was also a little surprised when he heard this.

The Minister of Revenue was a third-rank official in the Great Qi Dynasty.

In this way, as long as there are no problems, this soap will enter the upper class circle.

"Mrs. Xiang, this is the end of my soap supply this year. I will start supplying more soap after the Lantern Festival when the soap in your shop is sold out.

"Also, there is a business I want to do with Madam Xiang, but I don't know if you are willing."

Madam Xiang now looks at Shen Tang as if he were the God of Wealth. In just these few short days, she and Shen Tang have earned nearly a year's worth of profit for the shop.

"After the new year, I will set up a soap workshop. The output of soap will definitely be higher than it is now.

I believe that after this year, the magical uses of soap will become popular.

By then, your shop alone will not be able to handle it.

I wonder if Madam Xiang is willing to be the franchise agent for Tangji Soap Industry in Qingshan Town."

Madam Xiang was completely confused.

“I don’t know what a franchise agent is.”

"As an agent, you can only sell Tangji products. You purchase goods from Tangji and sell them in Qingshan Town and the four surrounding towns."

"As for the sales of Tangji products in other places, I will let other merchants take over the agency rights through bidding."

Madam Xiang had been doing business for many years, so she understood immediately after Shen Tang explained it.

Then Shen Tang continued to speak.

"Of course, I will unify the prices of products under the agency model."

"I'm looking for Madam Xiang because I trust you during this period. Therefore, I'm waiving your agency fees for the first three years."

Madam Xiang's mind was working very quickly.

She herself is well aware of the wonderful uses of soap.

Not to mention white soap, even the ordinary soap had been divided up by various families when it was brought back.

Nowadays in Qingshan Town, families with a little capital are proud to use soap.

It can be said that whoever has soap at home is a symbol of family status in Qingshan Town.

If you don't have soap at home, you are really powerless.

Moreover, I heard that people from several neighboring counties had also found out about her shop.

Madam Xiang agreed without any hesitation.

Many years later, when Xiang Niangzi became a legendary female shopkeeper, she was extremely grateful for her original decision.

"Sister Tang, I'll do it with you!"

Shen Tang also laughed.

"Madam Xiang, are you afraid that I'm just making empty promises for you?"

"Just because you waived my agency fees for three years, I'll take advantage of this."

Madam Xiang replied with a smile, and she also told Shen Tang about the current sales volume of the soap in Qingshan Town.

Shen Tang listened carefully and felt that looking for Madam Xiang was the best thing she had done since traveling through time.

He took out a thousand-liang silver note from the box and stuffed the rest into Xiang Niang's hand.

"For the remaining money, please ask Sister Xiang to help me find a quiet house in town and buy two shops for me."

The box was put back into Xiang Niang's arms.

"But this house and shop don't need that much money."

Qingshan Town is not as prosperous as the provincial capital. A good shop only costs a few hundred taels of silver, and the price of a house is also lower than that of a shop.

"For the rest, Sister Xiang, please help me find a few large warehouses."

The warehouse is used to store soap. After all, the soap cannot be left in Shenjia Village.

Qingshan Town, whether in terms of prosperity or transportation, cannot be compared with Shenjia Village.

"Then I'll keep it for you, sister."

Madam Xiang noticed that Shen Tang's way of addressing her had also changed, and she felt even happier.

Madam Xiang sent Shen Tang away with a smile on her face.

Before leaving, she picked out a lot of high-quality rouge and powder for Shen Tang, and Shen Dan and Shen Li who were traveling with her also got some.

Seeing Xiang Niang's enthusiasm, Shen Li and Shen Dan felt that Shen Tang was really capable.

Shen Tang only started to worry about himself after he left the shop.

In fact, she didn't have much confidence in inviting Xiang Niang.

After all, a stable rouge shop can make a lot of profit every year.

Moreover, I am still young and we have not known each other for long.

But unexpectedly, Xiang Niang agreed without hesitation.

This shows that soap must have a good market.

Next, they started strolling around, and Shen Tang had to endure Shen Dan's flattery all the way.

After reuniting with Liu and the others, they all went home happily.

This time when she went to town, Liu not only bought a lot of kitchen utensils, but also bought new bedding.

"With money in my pocket, life is different!"

While sorting out the things she bought, Liu happily chatted with Shen Dashan.

Shen Dashan touched the newly bought hatchet, his eyes filled with joy.

"Dad, Mom, stop being busy and come over to try on your new clothes."

Shen Tang pulled Liu and Shen Dashan.

"My dear child, didn't your mother tell you that she would give you some clothes?"

Liu wiped her hands and complained with a smile.

"This, this material is too good. Your father and your mother don't need to wear such fine clothes."

These are all fine cloths, soft and comfortable to the touch.

"That's right, your mother can make clothes. These clothes must be expensive, so you should return them."

Although the daughter did not say how much money the soap made, Shen Dashan and his wife have been used to saving for decades.

"Now that we have a livelihood and money, we naturally want to spend and eat good things."

If Shen Tang wasn't afraid of attracting attention in the village, he would have wanted to buy some jewelry for her mother.

“No matter how rich you are, you can’t spend it like this.”

Liu still grumbled, but Shen Tang saw that both of their eyes were red.

"Hey, I've already bought it. Dashan, our fortune is still to come!"

Liu comforted Dashan and touched Shen Tang's furry head.

"Our daughter is capable, so we'll rely on her to enjoy our lives. I wonder who will dare to say anything bad about girls in the future!"

"Tonight, I'll show you my skills!"

I went to town today and bought not only pork but also mutton.

I also bought two bags of fine grains and flour.

Before long, the aroma of mutton filled the air in the Shen family courtyard.

"This big brother actually has mutton stew at home today!"

Shen Dahe smelled the aroma of mutton soup and couldn't help but speak.

You know, the price of sheep is much higher than that of pigs!

The eldest family really made a lot of money.

"It's not just mutton. This afternoon, when I saw my sister-in-law getting off the ox cart, she could barely carry anything!"

She is so envious!
