Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 57: The Regretful Liu Clan

Lao Fang first dragged out a big bag from his back, and then he said: "Son-in-law, this is the money we have earned from selling red fruits and candied haws these days. According to what we agreed at the beginning, we divided half, and this is the remaining half."

It must be said that Lao Fang and his people are a group of very honest people.

Although they are the ones who work hard to sell candied haws on weekdays, the candied haws belong to Li Yiming. It was he who gave the money at the beginning, and even when they encountered various problems later, he helped to solve them.

Without Li Yi, they would not be where they are today.

They all understand this.

Son-in-law could have done these things without them, but because of the relationship with the young lady, he gave them a lot of care. Everything, Lao Fang and others remembered in their hearts.

When they first heard that the son-in-law wanted to give them half of the profit, Lao Fang and others were shocked at first, and then became panic. They just put in a few efforts, what qualifications do they have to take so much?

However, they insisted on the idea of ​​only taking 10% of the profit, but they were eventually rejected by Li Yi.

Old Fang would never have imagined that the reason why Li Yi changed his impression of him was just because of those two pheasants.

Perhaps, they should all be thankful for those two pheasants.

Inside the yard, when Xiao Huan and Liu Ruyi saw Old Fang opening the bag and revealing the copper coins inside, their pretty faces were momentarily absent-minded.

They knew that the big man surnamed Fang and his men were tinkering with the candied haws business these days, and it was Li Yi's idea. They were just a little curious, but didn't take it to heart.

The last time Old Fang sent Xiao Huan a small bag of copper coins, saying that the profit from selling candied haws was about a few hundred copper coins. At that time, Xiao Huan only felt that the son-in-law had found a way for Uncle Fang and the others to make money, and their lives would not be so hard in the future, and she was very happy.

But what they didn't expect was that they made so much money in just a few days!

If they only sold candied haws made of hawthorn as before, they would naturally not make so much money.

But what Xiaohuan and Liu Ruyi didn't know was that Lao Fang and his men had done more than just this one thing these days.

First, they listened to Li Yi and bought a large amount of hawthorns, almost plundering all the hawthorns in Qing'an Prefecture. A few days later, they sold them at several times the price and made a lot of money.

Not only that, they even picked all the hawthorns that were not fully ripe in the back mountain and sold them out during this craze.

Most of the copper coins in front of them are actually the profits from directly selling hawthorns.

In addition, when the price of candied haws made from hawthorns dropped to the freezing point and there was no profit to be made, they decisively launched a new type of candied haws made from fruit, which was well received. When all the vendors didn't react, they made a lot of money again.

All of this, of course, was Li Yi's idea.

Although many imitations of the new-style candied haws have appeared, they have a natural advantage because they launched the Liu's candied haws brand early, and their business is still very hot. Every day, the goods are sold out.

Up to now, there is a stable income of money every day. If this business can be carried out for a long time, their lives will definitely get better and better.

The days when they had to worry about filling their stomachs every day are no longer needed.

There is meat for every meal, rice is enough, and the family has gradually saved a little. In a short period of time, they have moved from a poor family living at the bottom of Liuye Village to a well-off level. Not to mention those tenants who were at the same level as them before, even the direct descendants of the Liu family who live a little better are far behind them now.

Who could have imagined such a life before?

Because of this, these people are full of gratitude to Li Yi. If it weren't for him, they might still be herding horses for others and living a life of eating one meal and not the next?

"Have you bought all the things I asked you to buy for me in the city?" Li Yi was not polite about the money sent by Lao Fang and others. After all, the next period of time is the time when he really needs money.

"Bezoar, mint, honeysuckle, spices, and wine have all been bought. I will send them to my son-in-law later." Lao Fang nodded vigorously.

Although he was still very curious about what the things that his son-in-law asked him to buy were used for, Lao Fang was now convinced by Li Yi from the bottom of his heart.

Things that require thinking, the son-in-law will do, as for the rest, just leave it to me.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Li Yi looked up at Lao Fang and others and said, "The business of candied haws will be handed over to your wife in the future. If there are trusted relatives, you can also let them participate."

Lao Fang was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What should we do then?"

Others also looked puzzled.

"Don't worry, I won't let you idle." Li Yi smiled and said.

It is a waste of talent to let Lao Fang and his men sell candied haws on the street. What Li Yi is going to do next is when they can really be used.

"Okay, I'll tell my wife when I get back." Although Li Yi did not give a specific explanation, Lao Fang nodded without hesitation.

The other people did not have any objection to this.

This strong execution power generated by trust made Liu Ruyi secretly shocked.

Turning around, he looked at Li Yi with a surprised look. He had only been in the village for a short time, but he had completely convinced these guys...

Not long after, the big man surnamed Fang and his men walked out of the yard.

Walking in the village, many people from the Liu family looked at them unkindly along the way.

The reason was simple, because their candied haws business had all gone bankrupt.

Nowadays, ordinary candied haws can only be sold for one penny, and the profit is far less than before, and even if it is one penny, not many can be sold in a day.

In the current Qing'an Prefecture, the faces of Lao Fang and his men are the only signs of genuine candied haws, and only Liu's candied haws are still as popular as ever.

Of course, compared with others, their candied haws have more varieties and taste more delicious, which is why Liu's candied haws have been so popular.

And "Liu's Candied Haws" is certainly not a banner that anyone with the surname Liu can use. Even if they want to imitate it, the taste they make is far from that of others.

Until this time, everyone realized that this seemingly simple candied haws may have some unique secrets that they don't know.

If they want to make money from candied haws, they must get the secret recipe of Lao Fang, but the direct line and the direct line have always been at odds, and the other party certainly can't tell them the secret recipe for nothing.

Seeing that the people they didn't have to look at when they went out before lived a life that even they envied, more Liu clan members began to regret.

If they hadn't targeted Liu Ruyi and her sister before, how could this situation happen today?

In the past, for the sake of a mere petty profit, they made things difficult for the Liu sisters everywhere, and now they have lost this rare opportunity to make money. Only the Liu clan members can understand the taste of it.

At this time, when they thought of the scholar they despised so much in the past, everyone's heart was very complicated.
