Zhang Xinyue and her friends had fun at home all day, and then went to school or climb the mountain.
A few days later, Zhang Dahua came back.
Wang Xingren also followed Zhang Dahua directly to Daping Village.
When the women working in the yard saw Zhang Dahua bringing back the handsome young man, their eyes lit up.
Wang Xingren bowed to Zhang Hulan and said, "Madam Zhang, I hope you can forgive me for coming here uninvited!"
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, what are you talking about? Mr. Wang, it is a great honor for my humble abode to have you here. Please come in."
Zhang Hulan led Wang Xingren and Zhang Dahua into the house. The woman outside asked Wang, "Aunt Wang, who is that young man?
Didn't Dahua go to the capital? Why did she bring a young man back? I'm afraid she's going to attend your wedding again, right?"
Wang frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, is my Dahua such a casual person?"
The woman slapped her lips and said, "Don't be angry, Aunt Wang, I didn't mean that.
The young man had a handsome face and elegant manners, and looked like a son of a wealthy family.
If Dahua could really marry such a young man, her life would be worth it."
In fact, Wang was also having doubts in her heart. However, seeing that Zhang Hulan seemed to know the young man, it should not be what they thought.
After entering the house, Zhang Dahua explained the situation in the capital, and then returned the remaining silver to Zhang Hulan, saying, "Auntie, the food and lodging on the way to the capital were all paid for by the county magistrate's wife's people. I wanted to pay, but he didn't let me. The food and lodging on the way back were paid for by Master Wang.
When I was in the capital, I didn’t know what gifts to buy for the county magistrate’s parents, so I just bought some fruits and snacks.
And Master Wang said he had something to discuss with you, so he came along."
Zhang Hulan nodded, "Okay, you did a great job. I'll go and return the favor to Madam Ye. You've worked hard along the way, go and rest first."
"Well, I'll go back first. I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder how you look now?"
Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "The little guy is white and plump, you should go and have a look."
"Mr. Wang, you and aunt will chat for the afternoon. Bye."
Wang Xingren nodded, "Okay!"
As soon as Zhang Dahahua came out, Wang hurriedly pulled her outside, and Xiang Chunhua also ran out.
Wang asked in a low voice, "Dahua, who is that young master?"
"Grandma, that young master's surname is Wang. He came back with me from the capital. My aunt is working with Young Master Wang."
“I see…”
Wang felt a little disappointed. Her eldest granddaughter was already sixteen years old, and normally someone should have proposed a marriage to her.
Although Zhang Hulan meant to let them get married two years later, it was their business if they wanted to postpone it two years, but it was another matter if no one came to propose marriage.
But Wang didn't know that it wasn't that people from outside didn't want to come to propose marriage, but
It was also because of Zhang Dahua that most families did not dare to let matchmakers come to propose marriage, as they felt that they were not worthy of the Zhang family's daughter.
…
After Zhang Dahua left, Zhang Hulan said to Wang Xingren, "Mr. Wang, you should also take a rest first. If you have anything to say, please wait until you have rested enough before you talk."
Wang Xingren waved his hand and said, "I don't need to rest. If Madam Zhang doesn't mind, I want to take a look around."
"What's the problem? I'll accompany Master Wang for a walk around the village."
"Will it not interfere with Madam Zhang's business?"
"No, I don't have much to do."
Then Zhang Hulan took Wang Xingren out of the yard, took a walk around the village, and then took Wang Xingren to visit her farm.
As Wang Xingren walked, he said, "Mrs. Zhang, I'm here for business.
I have received support from my family, and I will open braised meat workshops in various state capitals as quickly as possible.
But it is not possible to implement this in all states. Some remote areas are difficult to manage, so we will not implement this in those areas for the time being."
This was good news for Zhang Hulan. The bigger Wang Xingren's business expanded, the more money she would earn.
Wang Xingren continued, "Each state government will appoint a manager to be in charge. But I am worried that they don't have a good grasp of the formula. For example, this time in Beijing, I didn't expect it to be a problem with spices.
They also did not do a good job in cleaning the pig heads and offal.
So I would like to gather all the managers assigned to various places here under Madam Zhang, and ask Madam Zhang to teach them personally.
I’m just worried that my people might fail to pay attention to some details when they come to teach.”
Zhang Hulan said, "That's not a problem, but you have arranged a lot of people to come here, right?"
"About fifty people."
"With so many people here, I have no place to accommodate them now. If I wait another month, my new house will be almost finished, and I can then arrange a place for them to live."
Wang Xingren said, "Then I can find a place in Changning County and ask Madam Zhang to go there and teach them, right?"
Zhang Hulan nodded, "That's fine!"
Wang Xingren then said, "Mrs. Zhang, I have another idea. What do you think?"
"Mr. Wang, please speak!"
Wang Xingren said, "I want to make more dishes. This braised meat can be used to make other ingredients, right? For example, chicken and duck. I wonder if Madam Zhang has tried it?"
“In addition, I want to build a farm in each prefecture to raise pigs after the braised meat workshops are established in various places.
We now have everything from pig heads and pork to pig offal, so why not just raise them ourselves? This can also save some money.
But to build a farm, you need to buy land, build houses, and hire more people.
The investment will be a bit high, I wonder if Madam Zhang is willing to do it?"
Zhang Hulan felt that Wang Xingren was really good at doing business, and he was not just joking around, he really wanted to treat this business as a career.
Zhang Hulan looked at Wang Xingren and smiled, then pointed in front of them and said, "Mr. Wang, please look over there..."
Wang Xingren nodded, "I know. When I came here, Miss Zhang told me that it was Madam Zhang's farm."
Zhang Hulan said, "To be honest with you, Master Wang, I will also raise pigs after my farm is built. I have the same idea as you. And not only pigs, I will also raise chickens, ducks, geese and fish.
There must be other dishes that Master Wang mentioned, such as braised duck and goose, and even braised vegetarian dishes."
Wang Xingren's eyes lit up when he heard this. "So Mrs. Zhang also has this plan?"
Zhang Hulan nodded, "We think we are going to the same place."
Zhang Hulan wants to do more than that. She has been thinking about what she will do in the future these days. She plans to set up a cooking school.
She knows how to cook so many dishes, she might as well open a cooking school to teach people how to cook.
What she understands is the concept and the dishes, and she will hire a special chef to cook them.
Main meals, breakfasts, suppers, barbecues, everything is available.
Nowadays, breakfast outside is either steamed buns or noodles. The noodles are either vegetarian noodles, noodles with臊子, or noodles with eggs.
But Zhang Hulan has eaten a lot of noodles.
What kind of noodles with mixed sauce, pork liver noodles, kidney noodles, mixed noodles, pig intestine noodles, etc...
But this will have to be dealt with later. Let’s do the current things well first.
