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

“Uncle Ma, my idea is that we sell one tael of this small jar of sauce, and put it in your shop to sell. Whoever sells it gets a commission, thirty coins per jar, and the more you sell, the more you get. At the same time, your shop will take seventy coins for every jar sold. What do you think?”

She had calculated the price; a custom-made small jar would cost sixty coins. The chili sauce was made by stir-frying oil and chili peppers, with some sesame seeds and peanuts added. These were all rare items in this day and age, so the cost was not low.

Including labor costs, the cost of one jar is 600 coins. After giving 100 coins to the restaurant, the remaining jar only earns 300 coins, which is not much profit.

"You're quite the shrewd little devil, always planning ahead."

"This is a good thing for Uncle Ma and me. The goods can be placed in Uncle Ma's shop, which only requires a little space, and the sales are easy to do. As long as the shop assistants sell the goods, the commission will be an extra income for them. Uncle Ma doesn't have to do anything and can get some money, which is also a kind of extra income."

Ma Laicai was a businessman, so how could he not see that this business was very good? "Alright, I won't haggle with you over this matter. As for the fermented bean paste, you promised me before that you would only supply it to my company."

"Uncle Ma, rest assured, business is all about integrity, and I will never break my word."

"Okay, okay, remember Uncle Ma if you get anything good in the future."

"Okay." This guy is good. Once the wine is ready, I can find Uncle Ma right away.

After settling the matter, Du Mingxian breathed a sigh of relief. "The chili sauce will take a little longer to arrive. The jars I ordered haven't come out yet. I'll have my second brother deliver them once they're ready."

"to make."

After leaving the restaurant, Du Mingxian went straight to the pharmacy and the grain shop.

Brewing wine is a technical skill. The key ingredient is the yeast starter. Some of it needs to be bought at pharmacies, while the rest should be available in the mountains. You can buy rice, wheat, sorghum, and other grains at grain shops to take back and use for making wine.

Because it was an experiment, Du Mingxian wasn't sure what to expect, so she didn't buy many of these things, just twenty catties of each. Even that was enough to leave Zhou speechless.

However, Zhou did not ask any questions.

"You've already ordered the jar for your fourth sister-in-law?"

"No, I haven't decided what kind of flower shape to put on top yet. It should be so that people can immediately recognize it as our chili sauce and want to eat it as soon as they think about it. That would be a success."

"Oh, oh." Zhou was a little embarrassed. "I can't help with these things at all. It's all up to my fourth sister-in-law."

“It’s alright, I also took 40%, but after we finish these, the rest of the hard work will be up to my second sister-in-law.”

"Alright, alright, you do the thinking, and let your second sister-in-law handle the rest."

When the two returned home, Du Mingxian went into her room to draw. She thought and thought that the chili sauce and the fermented bean paste should have the same name so that others would know that they were made by the same company.

After thinking it over, she simply came up with the simplest and easiest name: Ling's Chili Sauce, Ling's Bean Paste. She also planned to name any other businesses she had in the future as Ling's something else.

They sound like a family.

My second sister-in-law and her family can also help each other with their businesses, which is great.

Finally, she even put a lot of thought into making an anti-counterfeiting label. Luckily, she had encountered this kind of thing in her past life, and it becomes visible when heated, otherwise she would have been in real trouble.

She had been drawing in her room the whole time. Zhou Shi came over to cook lunch. Ling's mother was distracted all day because she was worried about her sons going to the Qian family.

The Ling brothers did not return in the afternoon.

As darkness fell, Ling's mother, seeing that her son had not yet returned, became quite restless. She called to Ling's father, and they decided to go to the Qian family to check on Ling Erlang.

"Father and Mother."

"Erlang, what happened? Where is everyone else? Why did you come back alone?"

"I'm back to report that Silang has fallen ill and is at the county clinic, being looked after by my eldest brother and third brother."

Ling's mother's heart clenched. "What happened? Why did Si Lang fall ill?" Si Lang's condition had been stable recently.

"It's because of that old woman from the Qian family."

Du Mingxian came out of the house as soon as Ling Erlang entered the courtyard. She was also anxious when she heard the news, but looking at the sky, she knew that even if she rushed to the county now, she wouldn't be able to get in. She would have to wait until tomorrow to go see him.

"Second brother, how is our husband doing now?"

Ling Erlang's expression was somewhat strange. "My fourth brother's condition was very serious when he was at the Qian family's house. When we arrived at the clinic, the doctor said there was nothing seriously wrong. I suppose the doctor has seen many patients, which is why he said that."

Something flashed through Du Mingxian's mind, and she instantly realized what it meant. Her heart, which had been pounding, slowly calmed down. "It's good that my husband is alright."

"Yes, they told me to come back first because they were worried about my family. By the way, fourth sister-in-law, my fourth brother said he's fine, so you don't need to go to the county. Just focus on taking care of things at home."

"Okay, then I won't go to the county tomorrow."

Tomorrow I'm going to order custom-made jars, and I also need to find someone to make some things needed for brewing. I'm really busy.

Ling's mother was very worried. "Second son, you should go back and rest first. Come with me to the county tomorrow morning. I want to see Silang."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian heard it, but didn't respond.

The next day, Ling's mother went to the county. Before going, she asked Du Mingxian if she wanted to go. Du Mingxian declined, and Ling's mother looked a little unhappy, so she left directly.

Ling's father went to work in the fields by himself.

Du Mingxian drove the oxen, carrying her own drawings, and dragged Zhou Shi along to order things. Zhou Shi needed to be involved in all of this because they would be responsible for everything in the future.

We ordered custom-made jars, custom-made basins, and even specially commissioned a super-sized pot from the county.

In the county, seeing that Du Mingxian was about to leave after finishing her custom order, Zhou hesitated and asked, "Fourth sister-in-law, fourth brother is in the county. Should we go and see him?"

“I’m not going. He asked my second brother to tell me that he’s fine, so he should be fine.”

Zhou: "..." Sometimes I might have been a little too tactful, but how did my fourth sister-in-law believe me?

When the two returned home from the county, the sick Ling Silang and the others had already returned home. Moreover, Ling Silang looked perfectly fine and was in good spirits. He was standing in the yard at the moment.

After the oxcart was parked, Du Mingxian went to the front yard and saw him staring blankly.

"What would you like to eat?" she asked casually.

Ling Silang turned to look at her and, seeing that her face showed no extra expression, breathed a sigh of relief. "You're not angry?"

"Why am I angry?"

I thought you were angry.

"No, I guessed you did this for your little sister. Since you're alright, I'm not in a hurry."

Ling's mother, who had just returned and was hiding in the shadows, heard the conversation between the two and felt both angry and amused. She had actually misunderstood her fourth son's wife, which was really inappropriate.

"Given the circumstances at the time, this was the only option available."

Du Mingxian immediately saw the root of the problem: "Is it because my younger sister is unwilling?"

"Hmm." Ling Silang got angry at the mention of this. "There's nothing we can do but make her feel guilty first, and take it one step at a time."
