Chapter 143: Account

It feels good to get it neatly and cleanly.

But... Qin Fangci wanted more.

"I promised you it was a one-time deal, but how can that compare to an old hen laying eggs?"

Both of them had a bottom line in their minds, so naturally there was a fierce fight between them.

After drinking five cups of tea, Qin Fangci had to ask to go to the boss's toilet.

Qin Fangci came back and waved her hand, saying bluntly, "I'm tired, let's just talk about the bottom price."

"thirty."

The two said in unison.

"Hmm." Another unanimous sigh, and everyone laughed.

If everyone's base price is the same, then all their efforts would have been in vain.

Qin Fangci had previously promised Jufulou that the Li family would not sell braised food in Guangyi County.

It doesn’t say that you can’t sell seasoning packets.

But Qin Fangci didn't want to take things too far. She still wanted to sell her tofu, duck and chicken to Jufulou, so she had to leave some room for growth so that the business could last long.

So Qin Fangci specifically pointed this out to Du Xiao.

The seasoning packets have to be sold outside Guangyi County.

And this has to be written down in black and white.

Du Xiao was puzzled, "Why?"

Qin Fangci laughed inscrutablely, "We've invested so much money, how can we just do a small-scale operation? Boss Du, why don't you prepare well and carve out a path in the capital city directly?"

When it comes to motivating people, Qin Fangci is a professional.

"After all, you've already paid so much. If you can only earn three taels of silver from a thousand copies, as you said, how long will it take you to earn back the thirty taels I gave you?"

"You've fought your way out and established yourself in the provincial capital. If your children go to school in the provincial capital, their future will be no brighter than in the county town."

These words touched Du Xiao's heart.

"Wait a minute, you're right, but... no one in the city has ever sold braised food."

"Wouldn't it be better if there was no one around? You could just run the business yourself. You could do this... and then this... and then..."

Qin Fangci gave Du Xiao some advice, and Du Xiao suddenly understood. No wonder Qin Fangci dared to say that she would sell her products all over the world. This old woman has her own ways.

"Sister-in-law, where did you learn this method?"

"Of course there are hermit masters who taught me. Why, do you want to go to the mountain to pay homage?" Qin Fangci looked at Du Xiao with a smile.

Du Xiao changed the subject of what he was about to say, "How can that be? Haha, haha."

Li Baisong and Du Ruliang happened to be there, so the contract was written quickly.

After confirmation, both parties sign and seal.

Selling the recipe to Du Xiao did not affect Qin Fangci's ability to continue making money by making braised food, but Qin Fangci only planned to use up the remaining pig heads and offal for braised meat, as she was too busy with so many now.

Du Xiao looked at Qin Fangci taking away so many seasonings and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you have other business on your hands?"

"How many can you eat in one bite?" Qin Fangci asked back.

Du Xiao sighed, Du Xiao waved his hands, and Du Xiao laughed dryly, "I can only eat this one."

This is easier said than done.

Sure enough, it’s different when there’s an expert guiding you from behind.

When Qin Fangci left the grocery store, she had a huge sum of thirty-six taels of silver in her arms.

He spent the one or two taels of silver he brought with him to buy seasonings.

Money makes things easier. Qin Fangci went to the yamen and found a back door, so the yamen could send two clerks to handle the matter today.

There were still a lot of things to do at home, so Qin Fangci didn't delay any longer and pulled Li Baisong to give him a purse.

Li Baisong refused and gave Qin Fangci five hundred coins.

"Mom, I haven't spent all the money you gave me last time. This is what my husband and I earned from writing stories together. We need money to build a house at home, so I'll spend it later..."

Before Li Baisong could finish his words, Qin Fangci patted him.

"I sent you here so that you could study hard. I've already figured out a way to make money."

Although we don’t have much money at home now, we can still make some money every day, which makes us feel at ease.

Li Baisong lowered his head, and his voice also lowered. "I know mother is capable. I knew it before."

Qin Fangci's heart suddenly softened.

"I used to think that if I could get better someday, I could help my mother. If I couldn't help her, I would always feel empty inside."

Qin Fangci already felt sorry for Li Baisong, and if Li Baisong showed weakness like this again, Qin Fangci would be even more unable to bear it.

"Okay, okay, mom knows you are a promising child." Qin Fangci took the purse handed over by Li Baisong and went back with her family.

Li Baisong accompanied the people all the way to the city gate, watched the ox cart carrying the people drive onto the country road, and then turned and left.

Li Laoer was driving the ox cart in front, and two petty officials were riding horses behind, protecting the people like bodyguards as they moved forward.

Passersby couldn't help but look over here and then stay away when they saw it.

Just wondering.

He doesn't look like he has committed any crime, so why are there officers following him? Besides, if he has committed a crime, he should be rushed to the county town and thrown into jail.

If you don't understand, don't get close.

As a result, the Li family's ox cart had no obstruction, and Li Laoer couldn't help getting excited, so the ox had a delicious meal at Pan's house.

I got home a full quarter of an hour later than when I came.

The cow slowly stopped and panted at the door. The excitement was gone and it was just tired.

Li Laosan and Wang had just returned from the fields. Seeing the cow panting like that, they felt so distressed that they glared at Li Laoer.

Li Laoer didn't care at all. "Lao San, quickly pull the cows away and make way for the police. Da Dan'er, go call your village chief and tell him that our family wants to buy land and the police are here to mark it out."

"You two officers have had a hard time traveling. Come home and have a drink of water."

How could the two clerks dare to make trouble? In the past, they had to run to the village to do business. This time, thanks to the horse riding, Chang Xiye, who was beside the county magistrate, was very polite to this family. They were not blind.

"No need. The land you want to buy is there. Let's go directly to the land. It's getting late and we have to rush back today." A clerk said politely but firmly.

"Okay, okay, then let's take the officer there first." Li Laoer looked at Qin Fangci and Li Laosan.

In the kitchen, Boss Li was extremely anxious.

The dried meat was in great demand at that time and he couldn't leave his companions. He wanted to go with them, but he could only wait.

Many people were looking around the corner, until Dadaner and the old village chief came hurriedly, and then the villagers came out to watch the fun.

Upon hearing this, I realized that the Li family wanted to buy land to build a workshop, and people from the county government came to measure the land.

Everyone followed and walked towards the bamboo garden in a lively manner.

Listening to the commotion outside, Boss Li became even more anxious. "Da Ya, Er Ya, the child's mother, you two come and watch over the fire. I'm the eldest son in the family, and I have to oversee things like buying land!"

Daya stopped her second sister and mother, and asked Li Laoda, "Dad, grandma didn't teach us. If we break it, we have to pay for it, right?"

Boss Li: “…”

He looked at Daya and then looked down at the dried meat in the pot.

One pot costs several hundred coins. Forget it. It won’t be that fast for more than ten acres of land. I should be able to finish it in time after he finishes here, right?
