"That's right. However, Ayue Shanshui, you must keep a close eye on the incense maker. Don't let him get away easily. If the formula is lost, it will be a loss for you."
After hearing what Cheng Minhong said, Master Li paused, then nodded and gave instructions.
"Don't worry, Aunt Xiu! Our stuff has a unique recipe that even Awu, the incense maker, can't get. Only Shanshui and I know it. Even if we capture Awu and his group, the stuff they make won't work if it doesn't match our recipe!"
Cheng Yue is very confident about this.
After all, wherever the recipe required soaking or the use of water, she used the water from her palms.
Just like she wasn't worried about her private chef's recipe being leaked.
Without palm water, even if you master the recipe, the food you make won’t be as delicious as theirs.
"That's good!"
Master Li nodded.
"A Xiu! It's a shame you only play the piano. You should do some business!"
Jiang looked at Master Li with a smile.
"Yes, Aunt Xiu, I feel like you're quite good at business!"
Gu Xuelan also followed suit.
"Aunt, sister-in-law. My aunt Xiu has her own shop in Taizhou, and her business is pretty good."
Cheng Minhong interrupted.
"You! How do you know business is booming if you've never been there?"
Master Li couldn't help but tap Cheng Minhong's head.
"That's what my aunt said! She wanted to be like you, Aunt Xiu! She asked my father for a lot of money, but in the end, it was all wasted and she didn't make any money!"
Cheng Minhong said with disgust.
After hearing this, the Cheng family burst into laughter.
They had heard of Aunt Fang's reputation.
In the village, men all marry one wife, and they don’t care as much about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children as they do in the capital.
Compared to Cheng Kang's wife, they prefer Concubine Fang.
Although I have never seen the real person, and have only heard of some of her deeds, it may be because I love the concubine so much that I can love her too. Since he can teach Cheng Minhong to be such a lovely concubine, he should not have any bad intentions.
Maybe she was a little arrogant and domineering because of Cheng Kang's favor, or maybe she was determined to become the legitimate wife so she fought with another concubine.
However, this is none of the business for the Cheng family in Xinghua Village.
After dinner, it was getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms.
In the evening, Cheng Yue discussed with Shanshui about planting flowers in the valley they bought.
Before Shanshui hired people, he bought a valley on the back mountain and used it to grow flowers and plants. He also went to the blacksmith shop to make an iron net to enclose his area and hired more than 20 adult men to guard it.
The water used to water the flowers is diluted. Cheng Yue was thinking whether to just use pure water at night so that the flowers will bloom in the morning and then be picked.
Anyway, in the valley, no one knew about it except those twenty or so men.
It has been a while since we bought that group of people back. Shanshui has completely controlled them and is not worried about them saying anything outside.
Shanshui thinks this is a good idea as it can ensure sufficient supply of goods.
He was thinking about buying another piece of land and bringing back a group of people, since his family had plenty of money anyway.
Cheng Yue let him decide for himself, because when it comes to judging people, she is not as good as she is at judging mountains and rivers.
This requires a group of loyal people.
This time, men, women, young and old are all welcome, so there is no need to buy adult men specifically.
"Why don't we just buy all the mountains surrounding the valley?"
