The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

“Mother, we, the second branch, will take 30%, 10% to Father and Mother, 10% to my eldest sister-in-law and third brother’s wife, and the remaining 50% to my fourth brother’s wife. After all, she was the one who came up with these ideas. We are just here to do the work. The main responsibility still lies with my fourth brother’s wife, so it is only right that she takes more.”

After Du Mingxian mentioned it to her yesterday, she had been thinking about it. After discussing it with the child's father, she felt that this was the best approach.

Ling's mother and father exchanged a glance, and Ling's father said, "This way of dividing it is reasonable."

"How about this, I'll take 40%, my second sister-in-law will take 40%, my parents will take 10%, and the remaining 10% will go to my eldest and third sisters-in-law. If we ever do business together in the future, we'll divide it like this."

Wang nodded emphatically, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

Liu also said, "I have no problem with that either, but there are many things I'm not very good at. I'm unlikely to be good at business, and I might end up taking advantage of the family for nothing."

“Third sister-in-law, we’re all family. Maybe your business will be even better than ours in the future.” Mrs. Zhou was very happy.

Wang agreed, "That's right, that's right. If you're really afraid of taking advantage, then do more work in the future."

When Ling's mother saw her eldest daughter-in-law's scheming expression, she was speechless.

The matter was settled in this way. To make it reasonable, Ling Silang wrote a document, but did not have it notarized. Everyone put their fingerprints on it, and the items were kept by Ling's mother.

The main business was run by the second wife. The first and third wives could work when they had time, or they could just receive dividends without working and would not offer any opinions. So, the rest of the matters were discussed between Zhou and Du Mingxian.

After the discussion ended, everyone went home. Du Mingxian was still quite worried about Ling Xiaomei, after all, her past life had been too tragic.

Ling Silang brought a basin of water to the courtyard. Seeing that Du Mingxian was absent-minded, he said, "Don't worry about my little sister. I will go there myself tomorrow."

"But your body..."

"It's alright, I'll go with my brother and the others. They're busy with business, so you only need to worry about this one."

"it is good."

The next morning, Zhou didn't bother with gossip; instead, he rushed over to discuss business with Du Mingxian.

"We don't have enough beans at home, so my second brother needs to go and collect them. If my eldest and third brothers are free, they can go and collect them together. If any family has extra chili peppers to sell, we can also buy them."

“This is easy to handle. There’s not much going on at home lately, so let them go and harvest for a few days, then they can get back to their farm work. Once they’re done with that, they can continue harvesting.”

Du Mingxian knows a little about farming, but she's not very good at it. The Wu family doesn't own any land and relies mainly on hunting. In modern times, she has never even been in contact with farmland.

"Alright, Second Sister-in-law, go back and discuss it with Second Brother and the others. I have a few ideas, but I still need to go to Zuixiangju in the county first before making a decision."

"Want to go to Zuixiangju? That's where they got their goods."

"Yes, Second Sister-in-law, let's go together today."

"Okay, okay."

The carriage was driven by the Ling brothers to the Qian family, while Du Mingxian and Zhou Shi drove the oxcart together.

Zuixiangju used to be the second best restaurant in the county, but it suddenly changed its menu and the dishes are delicious and go well with rice. It's become very popular and its business is booming lately.

Sometimes, during mealtimes, you even have to wait in line outside.

When Du Mingxian and Zhou arrived, there were already several people sitting at the entrance. It was Zhou's first time in such a large restaurant, so she was a little nervous, but she didn't dare to show it, for fear of embarrassing her fourth brother and sister-in-law.

Du Mingxian remained quite calm. As soon as she entered, a waiter recognized her and asked, "Miss, you've arrived. Would you like to eat?"

"I'm looking for your boss."

"Please come inside."

Du Mingxian was led directly to the guest room in the backyard, and the shopkeeper arrived shortly afterward. "Shopkeeper."

"You're too kind, young lady. It's all thanks to my restaurant that business is so good. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Ma."

"Uncle Ma."

"Hey, come sit down."

The group sat down, and soon a waiter brought out pastries and tea.

Ma Laicai glanced at Du Mingxian, then at the extremely nervous Zhou Shi, "And this is..."

"Uncle Ma, this is my second sister-in-law. Actually, this sauce was made by my second sister-in-law. But last time I came to the county, she asked me to sell the sauce."

"Oh." Ma Laicai saw through her intentions but didn't say anything. "So, what brings you here this time?"

"I want to bring my second sister-in-law to see if her sauce sells well, and I also want to see if there is any possibility of further cooperation."

"Oh? If you have any ideas, please speak up."

"We're happy that Uncle Ma's business is doing well, but there will definitely be many people who imitate this."

Mentioning this Malay man makes him angry. "It's like this: now the restaurant across the street is also trying to do it, but their new dishes don't taste as good as ours. Many customers who have eaten there once are unwilling to go a second time."

After years of being suppressed by the other side, he has finally won a round. Recently, he has been smiling in his dreams at night.

"Uncle Ma, don't worry. When it comes to food, if you miss one ingredient or add too much, it will affect the taste and texture."

"Yes, I'm not worried about that."

"Uncle Ma, I've recently made a new sauce that's a little different from the one I sell to you. Would you like to try it?"

"Okay."

Du Mingxian took out the small portion of chili sauce she had prepared. "This sauce can be used for stir-frying vegetables, mixing noodles, mixing rice, or filling steamed buns."

"Is it that good? Then I'd like to try it."

As he spoke, Ma Laicai got up and went out, quickly returning with a tray containing half a bowl of rice, half a bowl of noodles, and half a steamed bun.

Du Mingxian sat down and handed over the sauce, saying, "Uncle Ma can try it." She personally helped Ma Laicai put the sauce into his steamed bun first, and then mixed it with rice and noodles.

After taking only two bites of each dish, the man with the Malay sauce looked incredibly bright. “I never expected the chili sauce to be so delicious. You have to make sure it’s just for me.”

"Uncle Ma, I plan to store this in your shop and sell it to everyone."

Ma Laicai's smile vanished. "If I sell to everyone, wouldn't everyone be able to make the same dishes as my Zui Xiang Ju? How would I make money then?"

"Uncle Ma, this sauce is not the same one that was sold to you for cooking. You can also take this sauce to the kitchen to cook a dish and try it. The taste is different."

"really?"

"I haven't thought about cutting off my own source of income."

After taking the sauce out, Ma Laicai came back again, asking, "What are you thinking about this sauce?"

“I’m planning to specially order a batch of small jars and sell them at Uncle Ma’s shop. We’ll share the profits with everyone after they’re sold. What do you think, Ma Pi?”

How much do you want to give us?

"Uncle Ma, we're a small business, and our target customers are ordinary people or passing merchants. The prices of our items aren't high to begin with."

Malay Cai understood that he wouldn't make much profit from this chili sauce. "Tell me your thoughts."
