"Yes, Brother Zhen, think about it, a waiter only earns a few cents a month, how can it be as profitable as making soap?" Liu Sanhong's eyes immediately flashed.
Finally, she managed to avoid the topic. Otherwise, Fang Zhen might have disliked her because of her inability to get pregnant.
Fang Zhen immediately straightened his clothes and said, "When you finish your drink, go home and don't hang around."
"Yes, Brother Zhen." Liu Sanhong immediately agreed obediently.
Ning Zilin's study in Ning's house
"What? You want to sell soap with me?" Ning Zilin looked at his childhood playmate, Fang Zhen, in shock.
"Why? Brother Ning, aren't you short of staff right now? I'll work harder and sell more soap in the shop. Then you can pay me a monthly commission based on your percentage. Isn't that a good deal?"
Ning Zilin thought with disdain, if it weren't for the stolen soap, he might have considered letting Fang Zhen join in. But how much soap had Fang Zhen let Chen Erni steal from the Ning family in the early days? It was so much so that he even bought a small courtyard in Shuihe Town.
At this time, Chen Ya was also sitting on the side: "Zilin, for the sake of your sister Erni, how about you consider it?"
"Aunt, you shouldn't say that. The soap business will only get bigger and bigger. If everyone asks for a monthly commission like Fang Zhen did, then what's the point of our Ning family working so hard to keep this business going?
Isn't that just making wedding clothes for them in vain? "
Ning Xiaotang, who was also sitting on the side, said cutely.
"Miss Tang, you can't say that. If we were to take a commission, we salespeople would definitely do our best to sell the goods, right?"
Fang Zhen's eyes were now shining with strong interest.
"Fang Zhen, your idea is to make money as quickly as possible, but as a member of the Ning family, I want to make soap in batches and sell goods in batches, not in the short term. My soap is even a family recipe that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
It's not like you said, selling it quickly in a hurry. This business is not done that way!"
Ning Zilin also said appreciatively: "Just as Sister Tangtang said, our Ning family is prepared to do long-term business. This business cannot be completed in a short period of time. What is needed is long-term reputation and inheritance."
Chen Ya glanced at Fang Zhen. She was asked by Fang Zhen to come here to act as a lobbyist. However, seeing that Ning Zilin and Ning Xiaotang disagreed with Fang Zhen joining, Chen Ya said anxiously, "How about letting Fang Zhen work as a transport driver in the soap shop first?
He recently quit his job as a waiter."
Ning Xiaotang looked in Ning Zilin's direction and didn't want to respond.
Ning Xiaotang's soap is sold through Ye Jingxiao's shop.
Ning Zilin's soap shop was indeed looking for someone these days because Ge Yuyuan was so busy in the shop that he was almost exhausted.
"Since mother has spoken, let Fang Zhen stay in the shop and be responsible for transporting the soap to the shop."
Fang Zhen finally loosened his clenched hands, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your trust, Patriarch!"
Fang Zhen was also thinking at this time that as long as he was selling soap, it wouldn't be bad. This way he could go in and out of Ning's house often, and it would not be bad if he could smuggle a few pieces of soap with him.
On that day, Fang Zhen transported a batch of soap to Shuihe Town, which was worth nearly fifty pieces.
When Ge Yuyuan saw Fang Zhen, he wasn't too surprised. He just ordered, "Qingle, count carefully. Don't make any mistakes!"
Qingle bowed immediately and counted them carefully on the side.
"Ma'am, the number of soaps is the same as on the list."
"Then put down my seal! Take delivery!" Ge Yuyuan gave the order and watched Dexiu moving the soap into the shop.
Fang Zhen felt a little uneasy at this moment. Fortunately, he didn't take action just now. If he had secretly taken two pieces, Qingle would probably have discovered it.
"Let me help move it too!" Fang Zhen immediately went forward with a smile.
Dexiu immediately stretched out his hand to block it: "No need!"
Dexiu, a grown man, immediately carried in several trays of soap.
Fang Zhen was secretly unhappy at this time. If he worked as a waiter in a restaurant, he would get rewards from some nobles, but now he was only responsible for delivering goods. He was afraid that he would not have the chance to meet customers, and it would be even more difficult to get rewards.
He didn't know how many hundreds of copper coins the monthly salary was. Fang Zhen couldn't help but regret it after thinking about it.
At this time, Fang Zhen asked in a low voice: "Miss Qingle, how much is our monthly allowance?"
"Didn't the Patriarch tell you? It depends on your performance. If you perform well, your monthly allowance will increase. Every month's allowance is based on how much you've done and how much you've helped the Patriarch. Bai Liu is keeping track of all this for the Patriarch!"
The shop will be opening another branch soon, so you’d better be careful not to make the wrong delivery next time you make a delivery!"
Qingle saw Dexiu finish moving the last piece of soap and said, "Fang Zhen, you can go back now!"
Fang Zhen had no choice but to drive his empty cart to the grain shop to buy grain, but he was very interested in the position of the shopkeeper of the new store.
Because Chen Ya told him not to go back with an empty truck, but to bring some food back.
Fang Zhen took out the silver that Chen Ya gave him and bought white rice, millet, white flour and beans at the grain store, spending a total of 18 taels of silver.
When Fang Zhen pulled a cart of food back to Ning's house, Ning Xiaotang was playing outside the door.
Chen Yilan immediately said enviously, "Sister Tangtang, your family bought food again. There's so much, it's as high as a small mountain!"
"Sister Yilan, I'll have someone pack some rice for you later."
"Wow, really?" Chen Yilan immediately stared at Ning Xiaotang happily.
"Of course it's true! Come on, I'll take you over and ask someone to get some rice."
"Brother Fang Zhen, please pack five kilograms of rice for Sister Yilan." Ning Xiaotang immediately stepped forward and said.
At this moment, Fang Zhen immediately glanced at Ning Xiaotang. Thinking that Ning Xiaotang was someone that the Ning family head cared about very much, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay!"
But he was secretly thinking in his heart that Ning Xiaotang was sometimes quite troublesome, and he had to find a way to get rid of her and let the head of the family decide to let him be the manager of the new store!
As long as he became the shopkeeper of a new store, he could steal a few bars of soap left over from the number of bars sold that day by just moving his hands.
In this way, it would not be difficult for him to support Liu Sanhong.
Liu Sanhong was a pampered woman. No one knew what she did in the past, but she was too delicate to do rough work. Now she was served by a maid and a servant.
How could Fang Zhen dare to take Chen Erni to live in Shuihe Town?
If Chen Erni knew that there was a very charming woman living in the courtyard where she bought the soap she had stolen with great effort, she would probably be furious on the spot.
Fang Zhen was determined not to let this happen.
But Ning Xiaotang didn't think so.

"Sister Erni, these steamed buns you just made are so big and fragrant!"
