Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

night,

It was pitch black, the moon was hidden under the clouds, revealing a faint light.

rustle,

The wind blew the trees, casting shadows upon shadows. In the bamboo forest on the hillside behind Tangjia Village, the vague outlines of two carriages appeared.

"Only members of the Tianzi Group can access this batch of goods. Let Shen Wansan figure out how to sell it at a high price."

"My subordinate understands."

After watching the carriage leave, Zhou Jin turned around and walked back.

For two days, he kept experimenting and produced glass with less impurities and high light transmittance, which he then cast into various shapes using molds. This would surely make the nobles in the capital bleed a lot of money.

Thinking about how they spent tens of thousands of taels to buy a pile of stones and sand, I felt very happy. I went home, lay down, and fell asleep quickly.

At the innermost part of the kang,

Xiao Yunxi slowly opened her eyes. This guy goes out every night. What secret does he have?

So curious.

She thought about following Zhou Jin, but the man was too cautious and could detect his breathing easily, so she would definitely be discovered.

As Xiao Yunxi thought about it, her eyes became heavier and heavier, and she really fell asleep.

Zhou Jin slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, "You little brat, do you really think I can't tell that you're pretending to sleep!"

The couple were both very difficult to deal with, and they tacitly chose to pretend to be confused and not reveal each other's secrets.

They get along in this special way, which can be regarded as the spice of life, making the ordinary days rich and colorful, and it can be regarded as a little interest between husband and wife.

When Tang Xiaowan arrived the next day, Xiao Yunxi was teaching the children.

Zhou Jin listened in with a pen and paper. He was very interested in Xiao Yunxi's small class.

"Food spoilage, iron and copper rust, and human aging are all caused by oxidation."

"There is oxygen in the air, and humans need to breathe it. Trees produce oxygen through photosynthesis, so we must protect the forests."

Xiaobao waved his hands and grabbed a few handfuls of air, then asked:

"Why can't I grasp it, and why can't I feel the presence of oxygen?"

He was very interested in physical and chemical phenomena, and Xiao Yunxi guided him to think:

"Pinch your nose and mouth and see how long you can hold on."

Xiaobao did as he was told. When he was about to suffocate, Xiao Yunxi signaled Zhou Jin and Dabao to go over and continue covering his mouth and nose until his face turned red.

huff huff,

He was breathing heavily, waving his hands in the air, clenching his fists, and then putting them to his mouth and taking a deep breath, as if this would help him absorb more oxygen.

"Mom, I understand now. There really is oxygen."

"I'll give you another assignment to prove the existence of the atmosphere."

Xiao Yunxi took out a peeled boiled egg and placed it on the mouth of the small ceramic pot.

"Whoever can get the egg in without breaking or touching it will be rewarded with an upgraded version of the tangram."

Xiaobao exclaimed excitedly, and then he and Goudan stared at the egg, as if they wanted to stuff the egg in with their mind.

"Sister Yunxi..."

Tang Xiaowan came in with a basket of vegetables, which contained radishes and cabbages. She asked the children to study them by themselves, while Xiao Yunxi put the vegetables into the kitchen.

"Have you thought it through?"

Yesterday I went to the village head's house to look for Tang Xiaowan and asked her if she was willing to go to the county town to be a shopkeeper.

Xiao Yunxi made soap and a lot of women's products, such as elastic body wraps,

Two days ago, she had a heavy pain in her abdomen, and then her period came in force. In this era, menstrual belts are filled with plant ash, and the better ones in the fields are filled with paper.

The effect is in the eye of the beholder.

She missed the thin, breathable and leak-proof sanitary napkins, so she developed a substitute. Although it cannot achieve the effect of real sanitary napkins, it is a hundred times better than the current menstrual belts.

She planned to sell elastic bodysuits, but people nowadays are very conservative. If the owner of a store selling women's products is a man, no one will buy them, and Zheng Tianming couldn't find a suitable person.

The only trustworthy and literate person in the village is Tang Xiaowan.

Tang Xiaowan twirled the corners of her clothes nervously with her hands.

"Sister Yunxi, I...I've never done business before, and I'm afraid I can't do it well."

“No one is born knowing how to do business. If you don’t know how, you have to learn.”

Xiao Yunxi encouraged:

"You can read and do accounting, so you can manage a tofu shop very well. Managing a shop won't be difficult at all."

Managing a shop and managing a workshop are essentially the same. The only difference is that you have to deal with customers. It might be a little awkward at first, but the products Xiao Yunxi sells are unique.

It is a seller's market where supply is less than demand. Sales are not important. All Tang Xiaowan needs to do is be considerate and sincere. Everything else is not a problem.

"I will personally teach you the preparation and early operations of the store. There will definitely be no problem."

With Xiao Yunxi's encouragement, Tang Xiaowan felt a little relieved:

"What kind of business does that shop sell? Sister Yunxi, tell me about the things they sell so I can familiarize myself with them first."

Xiao Yunxi asked mysteriously:

"When is your period?"

“…”

Tang Xiaowan's face turned red. Can you just talk about such a private topic directly?

"Don't be shy. We sell things that women use for menstruation. Go back and try it. I use it and it works great."

Tang Xiaowan fled in panic, and Xiao Yunxi laughed out loud, like a real female hooligan.

Zhou Jin appeared beside him at some point, holding a bowl of water.

"for you."

“What is that?”

"Brown sugar water."

“…”

Made,

Xiao Yunxi felt like she was being teased, and a ghost video popped up in her mind: Drink more hot water.

Time flies,

The first batch of soaps in the soap workshop has been completed. Xiao Yunxi is preparing to go to the site to open the shop. The trip will take a long time, and there are many things to arrange before leaving.

The person in charge of the soap workshop is Aunt Zhou, and the person in charge of the tofu workshop is Aunt Li. They are responsible for the storage and use of essence and brine respectively. These two are core technologies and are very important.

"Don't worry, Yunxi. Auntie will protect the fragrance even at the cost of her own life."

"Me too."

Xiao Yunxi was at a loss for words. How could this matter be elevated to a matter of life and death?

The person in charge of the elastic and fitted workshop is Li Rongrong, the future daughter-in-law of Daniu and also Li Kui's cousin. The people in Lijia Village are all descendants of the military households of the previous dynasty.

After the founding of Daxia, they settled here. If they and Yingxiong Village had not helped delay time, Tangjia Village would have been a river of blood that night.

Xiao Yunxi chose Li Rongrong, probably because she naturally had a good impression of soldiers, and even had a good impression of their juniors.

There is another important reason. Li Rongrong can read and do accounting. There are not many literate women in this era. The elastic body workshop cannot be managed by a grown man.

The farm was purely an accident.

Pig pancreas is needed to make soap. Xiao Yunxi casually said that it would be perfect if she could raise pigs herself, eat the pork, and make soap with the pancreas.

As a result, within three days, a middleman who appeared out of nowhere drove dozens of fat pigs to Tangjia Village and said he wanted to sell them to her.

She was confused at the time.

Raising pigs is physically demanding work. You can take care of one or two pigs, but taking care of dozens of pigs is life-threatening.

It is impossible not to buy the fat pig that is right in front of your mouth. With a wave of his hand, a breeding farm was established and Mr. Qi was in charge. He used to be in charge of logistics in the army.

Pig farming is a profession.

We hired five long-term workers, with Grandma Tang as our assistant. We still had plenty of bricks for the new house, so we built a modern pigpen in two days.

Over at the new house,

The walls and floors have been completed, and Uncle Tang is leading people to install the ceiling and make furniture, so Xiao Yunxi doesn't need to worry about it.

The five mu of land in the family was given to Li Kui to take care of, and the fertile land taken back from the Tang family was given to Uncle Tang Er and Uncle Tang's son.

Uncle Tang is a good farmer in the village. He has no problem managing the land, but he is illiterate. Uncle Tang's son is one of the few who can read in the village.

And the transport team,

Daniu and Tang Hao are responsible for transporting the raw materials needed for the workshop.

Unknowingly, Xiao Yunxi had already established a considerable kingdom.
