The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 17 Pei Yuanqi

While registering here, a girl timidly came over holding a cloth bag, "Qiuyun, look, is it like this?"

Zheng Qiuyun grabbed a handful, and it was indeed pepper. After another observation, the pepper was well processed.

"Yes, the quality of this one is very good. You can get it for one tael of silver per catty."

Hearing Zheng Qiuyun's affirmative answer, the girl pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, then where can I get weighed?"

Sun Shaoyan raised his head and said, "I have a scale at home, I'll get it."

When he brought the scale, the girl quickly handed over the bag in her hand. It weighed five kilograms and could be exchanged for five taels of silver.

Zheng Qiuyun kept his word and took five taels of silver and handed it to her.

"Thank you."

At first there were still people who didn't believe it, but now that the money was really given, everyone believed it.

In two days, Zheng Qiuyun harvested [-] kilograms of pepper and hired [-] workers.

Everyone signed a confidentiality agreement. If anyone leaked the pepper making process, he would be compensated 100 taels of silver.

In order to prevent them from leaking the secret, Zheng Qiuyun specially made white pepper powder. She and her two brothers did the peeling process, and other grinding steps were done by hired workers.

In this case, the villagers only knew that Zheng Qiuyun collected the black pepper, but they did not know how the white powder was ground out.

Zheng Qiuyun asked the mason to order several sets of grinding tools.Everything was ready, and she set up a small pepper grinding workshop in her yard.

Shopkeeper Li ordered [-] tubes of pepper. Zheng Qiuyun first asked the workers to make [-] tubes and deliver them to Qingyuan Restaurant.

Not long after, shopkeeper Li came over to urge me again, saying that the New Year was approaching and the hundred tubes of pepper were not enough to give gifts to others.

Zheng Qiuyun could only find a new Li Zheng, hoping to rent a place, build a shed and expand production.

She walked for about two miles before she saw a third person entering the house. This was the home of Shinri Masaru.

Xinli was relatively lively and let Zheng Qiuyun in with a smile on his face.He knew that Zheng Qiuyun had sued the government before, so he did not dare to offend Zheng Qiuyun easily. "Li Zheng, I want to rent a place and build a shed."

"Easy to say." Xinli was taking out a map of Zhutian Village. "Look, there is an open space to the east of your house. How about renting it here."

"Row."

While they were talking, Mrs. Xin Lizheng came in in a panic, "Sir, Duke An Guo has returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors."

Xin Lizheng's hands trembled and he didn't care to talk to Zheng Qiuyun. He hurriedly ran into a room to change clothes.

Li Zheng ran away, and Zheng Qiuyun's land had not been rented yet. She had to wait for Li Zheng to finish his work and pay the rent.

Li Zheng simply ignored her. After getting dressed, he led his wife out and ran out, tripping over the threshold.

Both of them ran away. Zheng Qiuyun couldn't stay in someone else's house. She also went out. When she arrived at the door, she saw Li kneeling down and saluting.

Directly in front is a majestic middle-aged man, and behind the man is a mighty carriage.

The middle-aged man looked up and saw Zheng Qiuyun. Zheng Qiuyun hurriedly knelt down and lowered his head.

The man's calm voice sounded, "We can arrange accommodation."

"My lord, don't worry, everything has been arranged." It was clearly winter, and the sweat on Li Zheng's forehead kept pouring out.

Then, Zheng Qiuyun heard people getting off other carriages one after another, and someone was standing in front of her.

"Grandma said that I am squeamish and not as good as a girl who grew up in the country. I think this girl who grew up in the country is just like this. Isn't she better than me?"

Duke An Guo did not notice the movement here, and the girl asked Zheng Qiuyun to look up.

Zheng Qiuyun looked up and saw a man behind the girl.Both the clothes and the figure were the same as what she saw in the clothing store that day.
