Chapter 174
"I'm going to go to town, are you going?"

Mu Yunkai helped Mingyue clean up the kitchen, and said while arranging the dishes neatly.

Mingyue looked at the dishes and bowls on the bowl shelf, they were still arranged in order of size, she was absolutely sure that Mu Yunkai had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"What are you doing in town?"

Mu Yunkai picked up the cloth towel next to the washbasin to dry his hands, and replied calmly: "There is still some pig iron from the blacksmith shop that needs to be shipped back today."

Mai Meng, who buys seeds, can do it, but to buy pig iron and iron tools, Mu Yunkai must come forward. The laws of Daliang are extremely strict on iron. If you don't go, the blacksmith won't hand over a single chip.

Sitting in the yard, the old lady threw the melon seeds in her hands into a round bamboo trash bin on the stone table, grabbed a melon seed from the bamboo fruit plate next to her, and peeled the skin carelessly, "Go, go, I'll take care of the house, don't worry."

I'm not worried because you're the housekeeper, okay?Mingyue walked to the door of the kitchen, stretched out her head and asked, "Mother, aren't you going to the back mountain to tell them stories today?"

Old lady Mu pursed her lips in distaste, "I won't go, I earn too little, the village chief and the others only gave me a penny yesterday, which is not enough for me to eat Chuan Chuan Xiang."

Old lady Mu turned her head to look at Mingyue, "You sold the book that your second child wrote after staying up all night yesterday, and you haven't come back after returning to your mother's house, so you should help him with his work."

In the town, the two put Er Fatty in the parking lot behind the local snake.

This parking lot is very simple, just an open space with more than a dozen big trees beside it, where Mao San's "Hoo Hoo" usually parks.

When they arrived, Mao San was giving MSG feed to his cattle and horse drivers.

Mao San took the rein from Mu Yunkai, and said with a smile, "Give it to me, don't worry, I will take good care of Er Pang."

Er Pang arrogantly raised his neck, took the opportunity to glance at the food in the trough, and said in his heart: I don't need you to take care of me, you go, I can grab the food after you leave.

"Do you want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake?" Mu Yunkai asked Mingyue when he walked to the booth selling sweet-scented osmanthus.

Mingyue shook her head, "Don't eat."

"Boss, I want a pack of sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"

Mu Yunkai still bought it.

There is a row of black lines on Mingyue's forehead.So, you just asked me just to ask?

Mu Yunkai put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Mingyue's hands, and whispered to her, "Eat it, you don't need to lose weight, the way you are now is just right."

"Eh? Mingyue! Oh, long time no see, let's go to the restaurant!" At this moment, the voice of shopkeeper Chen sounded behind the two.

"Let's go, I happen to have something to ask shopkeeper Chen." Mingyue stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Mu Yunkai, and followed shopkeeper Chen straight to Fulai Restaurant.

Mu Yunkai frowned slightly, he finally went shopping with his wife, why was he interrupted before he even started.

In the small kitchen in the backyard of Fulai Restaurant, Mingyue earnestly taught Aunt Zhang who was in the early shop how to make shortbread.

"Ms. Zhang, I didn't tell you the recipe before because the timing was too late. It's better to use soybean oil for this oily noodle. If you use meat oil, it's easy to get tired of it, which will affect your business."

Mrs. Zhang studied very hard and kneaded the dough on the water surface very vigorously.

"Miss Mingyue, look at what you said. It is my good fortune that you are willing to tell me. Naturally, you have your reasons for what you do and when. You don't need to explain it to me."

Aunt Zhang was so happy that the bright smile on her face didn't go away. I don't know whether it was the crow's feet or the nasolabial folds that appeared first, but the creases on her face were getting deeper and deeper.

She loves to gossip when she is in a good mood, "Miss Mingyue, I heard that Mr. Zhuang went to your Wangjia Village?"

"um, yes."

She looked around like a thief, and after confirming that there was no one there, she continued: "I just said, why would such an elegant person like Mr. Zhuang go to the Shen family? Mr. went to work as his family's staff, and it was rumored that someone with a nose and eyes, how about you, you got slapped in the face! You don't know, something happened to the Shen family recently, the wife of the big house was arrested for poisoning Fushun downstairs , and was sentenced, their family doesn't know how some aunt came forward to make Mr. Shen and his wife reconcile. So I went to make a sequel for his eldest son, and I heard that he was pregnant, tsk tsk tsk, married my woman, do you think their family’s affairs are enough for flamboyance! Such a family, still want to invite famous people The literati and refined scholars are going to be the staff, bah."

Seeing that Mingyue didn't respond, Aunt Zhang smiled sarcastically, "Haha, look at me, I shouldn't have dirty your ears by talking about these dirty things. Miss Mingyue, my second child is Mr. Zhuang's servant, please be more careful in the future." Take care of him, he is still young, if he makes a mistake, discipline him for me."

Mingyue was surprised, this world is really too small, she never expected such a coincidence.

"Aunt Zhang, look at what you said. Mr. Zhuang will take care of Mr. Zhuang himself. You have already said that Mr. Zhuang is a great Confucian. He will definitely take care of your son."

Aunt Zhang said: "Oh, that's different. Didn't that kid from my family sign a contract of sale with your shepherd? He is now Mr. Zhuang's servant, and he is even more of a member of your family."

It turns out that Mrs. Zhang's son is also a soldier of the Mu family!Mingyue didn't care about the more than 200 servants under Mu Yunkai's name, so she really didn't know, "That's it, that's good, I will take care of him."

Aunt Zhang walked around in small steps in excitement, "Great. My kid has never planted land before, so I'm worried that he will cause trouble for you."

It took Mingyue a second to ask Xiaomeng to call up Zhang Yang's information, and after reading it, she smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I can learn from it, besides, we not only farm the land, but also make soybean oil from the beans we plant. , We still need to raise pigs, and we need someone to help manage the accounts. With many things, your brother Zhang and Mr. Zhuang should be able to settle the accounts, right? Just arrange to manage the accounts at that time. "

Aunt Zhang wept with joy, wiped her tears, and thanked Mingyue sincerely, "Miss Mingyue, thank you so much, it is not easy for us to support our family, don't worry, as long as you give him a bite to eat, we don't want so much Yueyin .”

The kid in his family doesn’t want to be a good book boy, but they can’t stop him from farming. Hey, if he has no future, he’s gone. Anyway, it’s not easy for ordinary people to get ahead. They just need to be fed, clothed, and safe. .

Mingyue felt that it was necessary to talk about her plan, otherwise these parents would easily misunderstand.

She neatly put the shortbread in her hand on the iron pan, and after a while, all the pancakes in the pot were pasted. She watched the shortbread and patiently told Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang , We will not bury talents. Brother Zhang probably didn’t tell you in detail. We are not just pulling everyone to farm. You have also seen that our soybean oil is selling very well now. We will sell this kind of good stuff in the future Going to the whole of Daliang, especially the capital city, where there are many nobles, it is definitely better to sell, but it is really not cost-effective for us to transport it all the way, so we plan to set up a place like Wangjiacun in various places in the future, Plant beans, squeeze soybean oil, raise pigs, and then sell them nearby, and people here will go to various places to be leaders in the future, and if they do well, they may even go to the capital to be in charge, so you really don’t have to worry, As long as Brother Zhang works hard, we will have better assignments for him."

Aunt Zhang knelt down to Mingyue with a puff, "Thank you, thank you, I didn't expect this kid to have such a great fortune, that someone would think of the future for him."

After finishing the three big pans of shortbread, Aunt Zhang also learned how to do it.

Shopkeeper Chen arranged for Xiaoer to bring the freshly baked shortbread to the front, and it was sold out in an instant.

In the private room in the backyard, Chen Peng handed the contract in triplicate to Mingyue and Uncle Zhang.

"This is the contract for us to become a shareholder of the early shop. I will go out of the store to help expand the shop and arrange people to help manage it. Aunt Zhang will only be in charge of the back kitchen in the future. According to the old rules, Mingyue will make a prescription, and she will get [-]% of the dividends. We split the bill fifty-fifty, what do you think?"

Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang looked at each other, it was their ancestral breakfast shop, do you really want to partner with someone?

Chen Peng continued: "Don't worry, the name of the shop will not change, and it still mainly sells breakfast."

Mingyue said: "No, since it has already expanded, it is not enough to only launch a shortbread. Later, I will teach Uncle Zhang how to make milk tea and various health soups. I can't get a share of the bonus for nothing."

After signing the contract, Mrs. Zhang ran away. She wanted to go back and make more shortbread. Since it was on the market today, she must take the opportunity to sell more.

Mu Yunkai on the side was silent the whole time.The lady is too capable and ambitious. At first I thought the lady was here to go shopping, but I didn't expect to make a business, and it was easy for the lady to get it done. Since the lady is so dazzling, then I will be a foil to make her more dazzling alright.

Xiaomeng complained silently: The master is her husband, the business of the master is not as easy as it seems. I got closer to Aunt Zhang, and occasionally brought two shortbreads to Aunt Zhang. The trust was built up little by little, and the owner waited until now because he was waiting for soybean oil to come out. Only with soybean oil shortbread can he have a soul, so, just Just like you secretly forging weapons to strengthen the herdsmen, everything that seems simple has spent countless efforts behind it.
