A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Xia family.

Mr. Xia saw Brother Cheng running into the study yard with a jar in his arms. He immediately ran over and took the jar from his hand. After realizing that it was very heavy, he scolded the boy who was following him: "You are Is he dead? I saw Brother Cheng holding such a heavy thing and didn’t know how to help."

What are they raised for?

The young man did not dare to feel any grievance, and only explained respectfully: "Replying to the master, I originally wanted to help you get it, but the young master of the Gu family refused to let it go, saying that this was something for the husband, and he wanted to take it himself." gentlemen."

Mr. Xia laughed when he heard this. He knelt down and looked at Brother Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng is interested. What is this?"

Brother Cheng smiled proudly: "It's the soy sauce made by my second sister. It tastes very good, almost like minced rice sauce."

Mr. Xia was fine with the first half of the sentence, but was shocked when he heard the second half: "What did Brother Cheng say? The taste of this soy sauce is similar to that of fresh mint sauce? What is the soy sauce made of?"

Brother Cheng: "Soybeans."

soy!

Mr. Xia felt dizzy... Why is fresh fermented soybean paste so expensive? It's because it's made from meat, but this soy sauce, which tastes similar to soy sauce, is actually made from soybeans.

There is a tenfold difference in cost between a cheap thing costing three cents per catty and meat costing dozens of cents per catty.

If soy sauce could be mass-produced and sold across Dachu, Mr. Xia simply couldn't imagine the profits.

He was pacing back and forth, scratching his heart. He had many questions to ask, but he didn't know where to ask them. Moreover, Brother Cheng only said it was made with soybeans, and if he asked more questions, he wouldn't answer.

The little guy covered his mouth and said: "This is the second sister's thing. You can't tell the husband too much. If you don't tell me, don't tell me."

Mr. Xia had no choice but to hold the soy sauce jar, lead Brother Cheng into the study, and let Brother Cheng review by himself. He took the soy sauce to find Mrs. Xia.

"Ma'am, try this." He poured out half a cup of soy sauce and handed it to Madam Xia.

Mrs. Xia took a sip and said, "It's minced rice sauce, but this jar of minced rice sauce is not ready, so the taste is a bit off."

Mr. Xia said: "It's not fresh glutinous rice sauce, it's soy sauce made from soybeans."

"Soy sauce? Made from soybeans!" Mrs. Xia was shocked and hurriedly asked Mr. Xia: "What's going on with this soy sauce? Tell me quickly."

Mr. Xia told everything he knew: "Brother Cheng only knows so much. When Brother An comes to pick him up, I will ask Brother An again."

Then he said: "This is a good thing. Thirteen hundred years ago, the Zhongyuan clan made fresh glutinous rice sauce, so it has been passed down to this day. Although the recipe of fresh glutinous rice sauce has been known by most of the powerful, when it comes to fresh glutinous rice sauce, Who wouldn’t praise the Zong family and say that it belongs to the Zong family? If soy sauce can be passed down in the name of the Lu family, it will not be difficult for the Lu family to revive!"

Mr. Xia was very excited, but...

"Guanzhu Hu said in his last letter that since our people despise the Cui family for being ruined by a farmer, despise the Gu family for being of rural origin, and are unwilling to help the Gu family too much, we shouldn't be jealous of what the Gu family does. "After Mrs. Xia was scolded by Guanzhu Hu, she became more awake and reminded Mr. Xia.

After hearing this, Mr. Xia became even more anxious. He thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "If the Gu family takes the initiative to give us the soy sauce, it won't be considered a robbery, and Guanzhu Hu and the others can't blame us."

Mrs. Xia was a little frightened: "Is this possible?"

Mr. Xia said: "Madam, please let me do it once. If you can do it, I will have no regrets after doing it."

"Okay." Mrs. Xia has always been the most supportive of Mr. Xia. She agreed with Mr. Xia's approach and went to the kitchen with the soy sauce to cook a table of dishes. When Brother An came to pick up Brother Cheng, Mr. Xia left him to eat. seats.

Gu Jinan knew about his sister's idea when Gu Jinli sent soy sauce to the Xia family. Hearing this, he did not refuse and stayed to eat. He also praised: "Mr.'s food is really more delicious than the food at home, with fresh fermented soy sauce on it."

What Mr. Xia was waiting for was his words: "Today's dish is not filled with fresh minced rice sauce, but your home soy sauce."

Then he asked: "What are you going to do with this soy sauce? How about this, our two families can jointly open a soy sauce workshop."

Gu Jinan smiled and refused: "Soy Sauce already has a partner, so we can no longer cooperate with Mr. Xia."

Mr. Xia was anxious: "There is a partner, who is it?"

Gu Jinan: "It's the Zheng family from Jinling who follows the official family."

When Mr. Xia heard that it was these two families, his heart skipped a beat. These two families are aristocratic, and they are relatives of the emperor and the country. Now is the time of prosperity. Cooperating with these two families can ensure that both the soy sauce and the family are taken care of.

But……

"Brother An, the power of your family is not inferior to that of the Zheng family and the Shangguan family. If you cooperate with your family to make soy sauce, you can also protect the soy sauce and your family. Moreover, the relationship between our two families is different from that of the Zheng family and the Shangguan family."

The Gu family and the Lu family are related.

However, Gu Jinan shook his head and said: "The power of your family may have been under that of one person before, but now, do you dare to go to the capital to tell the Emperor of Chu your true identity?"

If you don’t even dare to risk your life, what kind of power are you talking about?

besides……

"In the eyes of our family, there is no difference between the Zheng family, the Shangguan family, and the Xia family."

After hearing this, Mr. Xia was choked to death.

After Gu Jinan said these words, it was the old man who was there to eat. He also brought a lot of good dishes to Brother Cheng and told him: "Eat more, Mr. Xia's food today is very delicious."

Brother Cheng looked up at him: "But when I was at home, my eldest brother said, don't eat too much, just eat until you are nine percent full."

Gu Jinan: "Today is different, you can eat more."

Because it’s hard to eat when you see people eating poorly.

Brother Cheng didn't understand much, but it was rare that his elder brother allowed him to eat more, so he was not polite and had a full meal. After eating, I took the mule cart and followed my elder brother home.

Mr. Xia was very frustrated and told Mrs. Xia about this.

Mrs. Xia comforted him: "Master, forget it. Hu Guanzhu is right. Since we have decided not to help them, let them live by their own abilities. Let's see how capable they are and whether they can afford to prosper the Lu family. Do you have a heavy responsibility? Then don't be jealous of their things and let them go. I just need to do my own thing well and teach Brother Cheng and Brother An to become talents. "

After hearing this, Mr. Xia was silent for a long time, but he still wrote a letter to Guanzhu Hu that night, telling her about the soy sauce made by the Gu family.

This matter is too big not to be discussed.

Guanzhu Hu knew about this. She had heard it from Gu Jinli a long time ago. She was not surprised to receive Mr. Xia's letter. She wrote back to him and told him: "This is the Gu family's achievement, don't worry about it."

Soy sauce is good, but soy sauce alone cannot prosper the Lu family. The most important thing for them now is to have a good relationship with the Gu family. The rest will be discussed when the time is right.

Mr. Xia gave up after receiving Guanzhu Hu's letter.

After Gu Jinli made the soy sauce and wrote the menu for the restaurant, he left it alone and went to visit his third shop in the town.
