Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

After Ms. Wen called over Aunt Zhao and Ms. Sun, the group hurriedly made the milk tea that was to be delivered that afternoon.

Without pausing for a moment, Xu Qing and Hui Niang delivered the milk tea to Ferry Town.

Almost the instant they entered the city gate, Cui Yi set his sights on Xu Qing.

Cui Yi followed behind Xu Qing, watching her deliver the items to the restaurant and then leave before also entering the restaurant.

Thinking he had a customer, the waiter greeted him warmly, "Sir, would you like a meal or a room?"

Cui tossed over a piece of silver: "Call your manager over, I have something to ask him."

"Okay, wait a moment."

The waiter happily accepted the money and scurried away.

The shopkeeper arrived shortly after.

Cui cut to the chase and asked, "Do you know the woman who just delivered the things? What's her name, where does she live, and what did she deliver?"

The shopkeeper, thinking they were there to cause trouble, looked displeased: "How dare you! Do you live by the sea? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Cui took out a token from his pocket.

Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper's expression changed, and he bowed respectfully, saying:

"So you're from the Cui family. I was blind to your greatness. I hope you'll be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

Cui Yi took back the token and said, "You must not mention what I inquired about today to anyone, or you know the consequences."

"Tell me, what's the woman's name? Where does she live? And what is she delivering?"

The shopkeeper dared not hide anything any longer and confessed everything in detail:

"The woman's surname is Xu and her given name is Qing. I really don't know where she lives."

However, recently many restaurants in Dukou Town have been receiving milk tea delivered by her; you can inquire at other restaurants.

Why did the Cui family ask her that? What had she done to offend them?

Cui Yijian's eyebrows furrowed, and he said in an icy tone, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, or you'll regret it. Remember what I just said."

After saying that, he tossed down a piece of silver and left the restaurant.

After Cui left, the waiter sneered and said, "Boss, who is this Cui family? They're so arrogant on our turf."

The shopkeeper, fearing that Cui Yi might have overheard him before he had gone far, hurriedly covered the waiter's mouth.

After confirming through the window that Cui Yi had gone far away, he breathed a sigh of relief, glared at the waiter, and said:

"Are you out of your mind? Don't get me killed! The head of the Cui family is the Minister of Justice!"

The second master of the family is a business genius; the entire prefecture is owned by the Cui family.

If it weren't for the fact that the eldest and second masters of the Cui family had a falling out more than ten years ago for some unknown reason.

Even in remote towns like ours, there's no way for small business owners like us to survive. Our businesses will all be swallowed up by the Cui family."

Cui Yi had no idea about the conversation between the waiter and the shopkeeper. He was focused on completing the task assigned to him by his young master.

During his many days in Dukou Town, he would drink a cup of milk tea every day after drinking alcohol to sober up.

So I know very well which restaurants in town serve milk tea.

Cui asked around one by one, and finally got the same result as the first restaurant, but he learned that Xu Qing lived in Xu Family Village.

He immediately wrote a letter back to the prefectural city, awaiting the young master's next instructions.

……

After delivering the goods home, Xu Qing went to the construction site. Now, with 5000 milk tea orders every day, it's getting a bit of a strain for the four of them.

Check on the progress of the workshop; once it's completed, start recruiting immediately.

To Xu Qing's surprise, the workshop was progressing so quickly that they were already laying tiles.

When Lao Shi met Xu Qing, he reported, "Master, the workshop will be completed in the next two days, and the tiles for the new house have also been laid."

Also, the squat toilet you asked me to glaze and refire last time is out of the kiln. Could you go and take a look and see if it's suitable?

Xu Qing followed Lao Shi to the earthen kiln, where a white, jade-like squat toilet was placed on a clean linen cloth.

In a daze, Xu Qing thought she had returned to the modern world.

"You did a great job, Lao Shi, this is exactly the effect I wanted," Xu Qing praised happily.

Old Shi said embarrassedly:

"The carpenter's mold has been carved, and I made three of them using the mold, but they haven't been glazed yet."

How can mine compare to those made from molds? Please don't praise me too much, boss.

"By the way, boss, do you still have any glaze? I need to get these three fired quickly, install the toilet, and then you can move into your new house on an auspicious day."

Upon hearing about moving to a new house, Xu Qing's eyes lit up, and she quickly bought a few more bottles of glaze from the mall and handed them to Lao Shi.

"Old Shi, I'm leaving it to you. Once our workshop is built, the agreements we made before will still stand."

However, I've also brought the county magistrate into the partnership. He'll take 3%, you take 2%, and I'll take 5%. How about that?

Old Shi looked at Xu Qing in disbelief. What use was the mold that the boss had a carpenter carve out?

But he couldn't bring himself to refuse; he was getting older and fewer people were willing to hire him.

If I were single, I could do whatever I wanted, but now that I've taken in a grandson, I have to think about him...

After struggling internally for a long time, Lao Shi said:

"Master, what can I offer you as a partner? The carpenter makes better molds than I do; I am at best skilled in the production process."

Once the workshop is built, why don't you hire me to work there?

Xu Qing smiled as she looked at Lao Shi: "Rich people like unique things; they don't like things made from molds."

Your skills are worth more than the molds. But you should practice more now and use your imagination.

"Sculpt this squat toilet into the shape of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals, except for the dragon, of course."

Old Shi looked at Xu Qing excitedly and assured him, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely not let you down."

Xu Qing turned around and went to find Zhao Dazhi again.

Now that the workshop can be completed in the next two days, she can start recruiting people. With workers, she can focus on sales.

Xu Qing kept in mind what Aunt Chen said on the day the roof beam was raised.

Since the villagers looked down on her, she had plenty of people at her disposal—workers to help her build her house.

Having spent the past twenty days together, Xu Qing had a pretty good understanding of each other's temperaments, so she felt quite at ease.

"Zhao Dazhi, come here for a second."

Upon hearing Xu Qing's shout, Zhao Da put down his work and ran towards Xu Qing.

"Master, what is it?"

Zhao Da stood two steps away from Xu Qing, picked up the cloth around his neck, and wiped the sweat from his face.

Xu Qing sighed inwardly, thinking about those strong pectoral muscles, abdominal muscles, biceps, and V-line! In modern times, they would probably seduce countless young women.

Feeling Xu Qing's gaze sweeping over him, Zhao Da said somewhat shyly:

"Boss, I'm sorry, it's just too hot, so I took off my clothes and I'll go put them back on right away."

Hearing Xu Qing call him, Zhao Da hurriedly ran over, having forgotten about this incident.

Xu Qing really wanted to say no, since she would only say a few words and then leave, and besides, she was quite pleasing to the eye.

But Zhao Da ran so fast that she had to swallow her words.

After Zhao Da finished dressing, he still stood two steps away from Xu Qing.

Xu Qing asked疑惑地问道, "Why are you standing so far away? Is it convenient to talk like this?"

Zhao Dazhi: "I sweated too much while working, and the smell was strong. I was afraid it would bother the employer."

This person is surprisingly considerate of others' feelings.

Xu Qing: "My workshop will be completed in the next two days. Do you and the workers have any other plans?"

Zhao Da said somewhat dejectedly, "Let's continue looking for work in town. If we can't find any, we can go to the dock in Dukou Town to carry heavy loads."

The brothers were planning the same thing. After the autumn harvest, there wouldn't be much work to do at home. This year's harvest wasn't good, so they needed to earn some money to supplement their income.
