The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

"Do you still want to continue doing business?" Song Yuntang looked at him and asked.

Xu Wencheng nodded repeatedly.

"think."

Song Yuntang stroked his chin and thought for a while.

"I can arrange a job for you for now, but it requires a long journey, so it would be safer if you and Erniu and the others go together. If you do well, it should be a lot easier than selling lotus roots."

"Traveling far?" Xu Wencheng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. My eldest brother said that my sister-in-law is doing business at home, so I have to follow her."

Song Yuntang looked at him with a smile, "Don't worry, I can handle the people in Cile Town. Besides, I will be going to the county town in a few days. Your brother will be there by then. I think your lotus roots will be almost sold out by then."

Xu Qingye, who had just picked up a book in the room, looked outside when he heard this.

"Aren't you going to the county town with me tomorrow?"

Song Yuntang nodded, "Maybe it will be a few days later."

He nodded. "Okay."

Xu Wencheng did not agree immediately, but looked at Jiang who was busy in the kitchen, "Mom, did you hear what my sister-in-law just said?"

Jiang's hands kept moving.

"I heard you. Mom doesn't object. It's good to go out and get some exercise and see the world."

Xu Wencheng was delighted and asked hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, can you tell me what it is? After dinner, I'll go ask Erniu and Changgen for their opinions."

Song Yuntang looked at him and said, "I'm in the shop on Heyang Street. You haven't been there yet, right?"

Xu Wencheng shook his head, "Not yet."

He was a little surprised that his sister-in-law had more than one shop in town!

Song Yuntang continued, "I made all the items sold in that shop myself. I have limited money right now, and I don't dare invest too much in opening a shop in a bad year, so I need someone to help me go to other shops in other places and negotiate cooperation with them."

She roughly told Xu Wencheng what needed to be done.

Xu Wenben was smart by nature and understood what she meant as soon as he heard it. He gave Song Yuntang a thumbs up.

"Sister-in-law, you have a really good brain. If you do this, you can sell the goods without having to spend money to open a shop. If the shop does good business, you can make a lot of money."

Song Yuntang began to paint a big picture.

"We already have several shops in the county cooperating with us, and the order volume is quite good each time."

"Sometimes the order is tens or even hundreds of taels, and sometimes as little as eight or nine taels."

"If you're willing to help me negotiate this deal, you can get a 20% profit share on the first batch of orders from those shops. That means you'll get 2 taels of silver for every 10 taels of silver paid for the goods. After that, you'll get a 50% profit share (0.5%) on every order from those shops. However, you'll also have to maintain those shops yourselves. Whoever maintains the shops in the future will get the silver."

Xu Wencheng looked at her.

"If we talk a lot, we can just lie at home and earn money without working in the future?"

Xu Yongwang, who was sitting on the recliner, was surprised at Song Yuntang's business talent. When he heard what his youngest son said, he almost held his breath.

He looked in the direction of Xu Wencheng.

"You're just dreaming of a pie-in-the-sky fortune. Everyone's money is earned penny by penny. And you're lying around making money. Do you think money can just grow legs and come to you?"

However, after Song Yuntang faked a cough.

"Dad, actually...what Wen Chenggang said is not entirely wrong."

Xu Wencheng stood up.

"Dad, listen, money can actually grow legs and come to our house."

Xu Yongwang was so angry that he took the handkerchief on the end of the recliner and rubbed it and threw it in the direction of Xu Wencheng.

"You've made it big, you're using chicken feathers as a token of authority!"

Xu Wencheng shrank his neck after taking the handkerchief.

"Wasn't it Dad who questioned me first?"

Song Yuntang continued, "It's definitely okay to just sit back and collect money in the short term, but if we want people to place orders with us on a long-term basis, we have to put in a lot more effort behind the scenes."

Xu Wencheng patted his chest and made the promise.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. If we really do this, we will definitely do it well for you."

Song Yuntang smiled and patted his shoulder.

"I believe you."

After saying that, he got up and went into the house.

Xu Wencheng was very excited at the moment. Seeing that Jiang was still cooking, he said something to her and went out to find Erniu and Changgen.

……

For dinner, we had braised pork, bok choy and pickled radish.

Song Yuntang poured the braised pork broth on the rice, ate a bowl, and then added another half bowl before finally filling his stomach.

This was the first time she had added rice to her meal when she came to the Xu family.

Jiang looked at her like this and felt confused.

"Tang'er, your mother celebrated her birthday and didn't give you any food at her home. Or what? How could she starve you like this?"

Song Yuntang wiped his mouth and smiled awkwardly.

"I ate, but not much."

She couldn't bring up the matter of the Zhao family stealing the food here, after all, they were Zhao's family.

Even if you don't care about the Zhao family, you should at least give the Zhao family some dignity.

Jiang glared at Xu Qingye and said, "Your wife didn't have enough to eat at noon, and you didn't even take her to eat when you went to town. You are such an incompetent husband."

Xu Qingye didn't refute, but nodded and said, "Mom is right."

Song Yuntang pulled Zhao's arm.

"Mom, don't blame Qingye. He bought me some jujube paste cakes. It's just that I haven't eaten braised pork for a long time, so I was a little greedy and ate a little more."

When Jiang heard this, she was extremely happy.

"Look, I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already protecting him." He patted her hand and said, "From now on, just tell me what you want to eat. I'll make it for you if I know how to cook. If I can't, go ask your aunt to teach you. Your aunt's cooking skills are much better than mine."

"I understand. Thank you, Mom."

Song Yuntang remembered that when he first came to Lushan Village, Jiang asked Zhang to be the chef.

If she opens another food shop, she doesn't know if her aunt would be willing to help.

But there is no rush for now.

Because he ate too much, Song Yuntang walked in the village to help digest the food.

Most people in Lushan Village are nice. They will greet her in a friendly manner when they see her. There are only a few who dislike her.

But no one can please everyone.

As long as most people can get along, life will be comfortable.

"Qingye wife, I heard that you are doing business in town. My son Ayu is hardworking and smart. If there is a suitable job, could you take charge of arranging it? We are from the same village and it's easy for us to talk to each other." An aunt came forward with a smile and stuffed two fruits into her hands.

Looking down, I saw two Yamanashis.

It’s quite big.

Yamanashi pears are rich in moisture, with white flesh that is tender and crispy. They taste as sweet as honey but not greasy, and are very refreshing to eat.

In her previous life, she liked fruits, all kinds of fruits.

But now the other person has something to ask for, so she can't just accept these two pears.

Just as she was about to push it back, she saw the auntie smiling and stuffing the Yamanashi back into her hand.

"Don't worry, Aunt Qian isn't a stingy person. It's okay if there's no work. Take these mountain pears and eat them. I see your father-in-law often goes to the mountains to pick fruit, and I thought maybe you'd like to eat them. He wasn't as diligent in previous years."
