Chapter 183: Be Content with a Small Fortune

Ye Daquan drove the car and sent Ye Caiping and others out.

After the kids got off the bus in the town, they sent Ye Caiping to the provincial capital.

Ye Caiping bought a silk quilt, which cost her more than eighty taels. She also took the doctor from yesterday back home to treat the wife of the Duke.

While having lunch, Ye Caiping was drinking fish soup and suddenly thought of Shen Zhiyan.

She had been so busy during this period that she had forgotten that she should teach Shen Zhiyan how to make bait, so that he could catch a lot of fish.

Thinking of this, Ye Caiping was beaming with joy.

…

By the river, Shen Zhiyan was sitting in the old place, fishing.

A soft sound of footsteps was heard, Shen Zhiyan glanced over and saw Ye Caiping coming over with fishing gear.

"A rare guest." The voice was as indifferent as ever.

Ye Caiping blushed with embarrassment. Does this mean that she won't come after she becomes his disciple?

Ye Caiping smiled and said, "I've been too busy recently..."

Shen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows: “Yeah.”

Since she showed up, she made her purpose clear, fishing was just to make him accept her as his disciple.

So after achieving her goal, she stopped coming, and Shen Zhiyan didn't think there was anything wrong.

I'm just a little curious as to why she came again.

Ye Caiping said, "Didn't I say last time that as long as you accept me as a disciple, I will tell you what my bait is?"

"I was so busy recently that I just remembered it. So I came to tell you."

Shen Zhiyan was really curious: "What is it?"

Ye Caiping handed over the small bucket in her hand: "This is it, I made it myself. Made with flour, eggs, etc. I'll give you a recipe."

Then he signed a small piece of paper and handed it to him.

Shen Zhiyan accepted it and put it in his sleeve pocket.

"Change the bait and I guarantee you'll have fish soup tonight," said Ye Caiping.

Shen Zhiyan had no choice but to put away the bait.

Ye Caiping stuck her bait onto his fishhook and let him throw it out.

Ye Caiping also took out her own fishing gear, sat about ten feet away from him, and started fishing.

After a while, her line actually moved! The stupid fish that didn’t eat enough bran is here again!

Ye Caiping happily dragged up a yellow croaker, but when she turned around, she saw that Shen Zhiyan was still calm and had not caught a single fish.

Ye Caiping: "Haha, you will have it soon."

Shen Zhiyan nodded.

After two quarters of an hour, Ye Caiping brought up another knife loach, but Shen Zhiyan still did not move.

Ye Caiping thought for a moment, picked up a small stool, and found a place three meters away from Shen Zhiyan to sit down.

A quarter of an hour later, she pulled in a big grass carp! Tonight’s drunken fish dish is settled!

Shen Zhiyan remained motionless.

Ye Caiping's mouth twitched slightly, and she picked up a small stool and stood ten feet away from him!

But in the end, her small fish basket was full, but Shen Zhiyan still didn't move.

What kind of air force physique is this!

Ye Caiping simply put away her fishing line and walked over to sit next to Shen Zhiyan.

But after sitting there for half an hour, there was not a single fish caught.

Shen Zhiyan was not embarrassed, but she was embarrassed first.

Shen Zhiyan looked indifferent, relaxed all over, and said nothing, as if nothing in the world caught his eye.

Ye Caiping looked at him for a while, then looked at the broad river surface.

All the depression in my heart these two days has been relieved.

She actually felt a little unwilling.

When she was at her most high-spirited, she suddenly traveled through time, and she wanted to return to the peak here!

But she has no say in this era.

Maybe this is good enough. There is no need to set up a glass workshop. Just be content with a small fortune.

At this moment, Shen Zhiyan’s fishing line moved.

Shen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows, and after some effort he pulled it up, but it turned out to be a small fish fry two fingers wide.

Shen Zhiyan: “…”

Didn’t you promise to drink fish soup tonight after changing the bait?

He turned around to look at Ye Caiping, only to see that she had fallen asleep leaning against the bamboo behind her.

Shen Zhiyan smiled. Why are you so impatient?

…

When Ye Caiping returned home, it was already dark.

She was pushed awake by Shen Zhiyan at that time. Ye Caiping was embarrassed when she learned that he only caught a small fish fry.

He was given half a bucket of miscellaneous fish, so that Master Shen could finally drink fish soup in the evening.

After dinner, Ye Caiping only took two hours to calculate the wages.

The next day.

This day is the last day of February, and many merchants choose this day to transport goods.

Baiweilou obtained its own seasoning packets and created its own flavor, which is very popular outside.

Thanks to Baiweilou's publicity, restaurants outside Yue'an County learned about the Hu La Tang workshop and came to the workshop, causing the workshop's orders to increase from 16,000 kilograms per month to 20,000 kilograms.

Ye Caiping sat in the workshop early in the morning, with Daquan and Erquan watching her.

Zhao Fan was helping Ye Caiping on the side.

As long as he gets the hang of it, I'll hand it over to him next month.

Merchants came one after another, paying money, moving goods and transporting goods.

The workshop was bustling with carriages going in and out.

"Hello, Madam Ye!" Shopkeeper Lin walked over with a smile.

He had come to pull 5,000 kilograms half a month ago, and today he came to pull the rest.

"Long time no see." Ye Caiping smiled, "How is Mr. Su?"

Shopkeeper Lin paid for the goods and said, "Can I... go to your toilet to relieve myself?"

Since the last time, Shopkeeper Lin has been thinking about Ye Caiping's toilet.

"There is also a toilet in the workshop."

"There are people inside. It's full."

"Okay, you go to my house." Ye Caiping laughed, "Brother, take Manager Lin to my outer courtyard."

Ye Daquan took Manager Lin out and came back in less than a quarter of an hour.

Seeing that no one came over at this time, Shopkeeper Lin said, "Your toilet is really unique."

Ye Daquan looked very proud: "This is what my younger sister came up with."

Shopkeeper Lin laughed: "Madam Ye is really creative. Your toilet is smellless. Can you give me the blueprint? We at Baiweilou also want to build one."

"Oh?" Ye Caiping looked up, "Did the Su family agree to this?"

"I can still decide on such a small matter. It's just a toilet."

The main reason is that they run a restaurant, and because there are many customers, both the toilets and dry toilets are easily full and dirty, and need to be cleaned frequently. Deodorization is also a tedious task.

He used Ye Caiping's toilet several times every time he transported goods, and it became more and more useful each time.

Ye Caiping knew that business was coming, so she said, "Actually, my second brother can make it. If you want to build it, you can ask him to do it."

Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, "That's even better. The fee..."

"We'll provide all the materials and labor here. It'll cost 8 taels of silver to make one!"

Shopkeeper Lin gasped: "Hiss, why is it so expensive?"

"The materials aren't cheap either! And only my second brother and his friends know the techniques involved. So... can Shopkeeper Lin make the decision?"

"It's just a few dozen taels, of course it's no problem!"

Shopkeeper Lin has already suffered a loss once.

That toilet was built by Ye Caiping. If another restaurant built it first, they would lose face.

Shopkeeper Lin took out one tael of silver and said, "This is the deposit. We'll make three, a total of 24 taels."

"Okay." Ye Caiping took the money and wrote a receipt for him.

"Our goods have been loaded, and I'm leaving first."

After Manager Lin left, Ye Erquan, who looked confused, came over and said, "Little sister, do I have to build a hut for him?"

"Yes, your toilet business is here." Ye Caiping said with a smile.
