Chapter 33 Taoyuan Residence



"We provide the materials here."

As they spoke, two young women came in, carrying the items needed for the screen.

The silk threads are very complete.

Mo Niang smiled and said, "If these silk threads are not enough, Miss Yinong, please send someone to get more as soon as possible. The extra materials will be given to you."

"Thank you very much, Aunt Mo."

"Here are some pieces of cloth. My wife asked me to give them to you."

"Madam said that if there are any good things next time, please leave some for her." Mo Niang said to Qiu Yinong with a smile.

Qiu Yinong smiled back and responded calmly, and Mr. Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

My daughter has really grown up.

"In that case, I will go back and report."

"Okay, the screen will be delivered within a month at the latest." Qiu Yinong also made a promise to Mo Niang.

Since there was no written contract this time, the Zhao family would not be unable to come up with even four hundred taels.

Mo Niang is also a smart person. Coupled with Qiu Yinong's business acumen, her future prospects are limitless.

"When did Yi'er do business with this Mo Niang?" Mr. Zhao was very curious.

Qiu Yinong then recounted what had happened before.

Only then did Mr. Zhao understand.

"Uncle Fugen, once we're all sold out, Ping'an will be the only one left to run the shop. After three days, he'll stop accepting orders and close the shop."

"Okay, don't worry, young lady." Uncle Fugen nodded quickly.

Qiu Yinong took the silver and money, said goodbye to Mr. Zhao, and went to the grain and oil shop to order some oil.

Afterwards, he went to Zhang the butcher and bought thirty pounds of fat and lean meat, and asked him to deliver twenty pounds of pork belly and fifteen pounds of spare ribs to Taohua Village the next day.

After leaving some silver and money, the family went to Taohua Village.

After returning home, Qiu Yinong gave fifty taels of silver to Qiu Hansheng and asked him, Qiu Hanqing and Qiu Hanyan to go find the rich man Guo, return the silver and get the IOU back.

Qiu Hansheng didn't say much. After taking it, he went to the house of Mr. Guo.

Qiu Yinong continued to make soap with Qiu Hanli and Qiu Hanchi. Qiu Hanchi was already very familiar with boiling wood ash water.

After mixing the remaining oil, the grain and oil shop also delivered the oil that Qiu Yinong wanted.

Qiu Yinong settled the money and paid off the debt. Adding the previous 18 taels, he still had 260 taels left.

It was enough for her to do many things, even to build another big house.

Qiu Yinong was going to give her eldest brother twenty taels of silver to go to the town tomorrow to buy the new residential land, and they could talk about it later.

While waiting for the goat milk, Qiu Yinong looked up with her hands behind her back, her face full of satisfaction.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so happily?" Qiu Hanchi limped over and asked curiously.

Qiu Yinong looked at him and smiled happily: "Fifth brother, when I gather all the herbs, I will cure your leg. I will definitely make you recover as before."

"Okay, Fifth Brother will wait for that day to come."

A gentle smile appeared on Qiu Hanchi's stern face as he looked at Qiu Yinong with hope in his eyes.

This sister had created so many miracles in just a few days that he was willing to believe that she could heal his leg.

"What are you two doing? I bought the goat milk." Qiu Hanli shouted to the brother and sister, holding two large clay jars.

Qiu Yinong hurriedly ran over to take it, but Qiu Hanli dodged and put two cans of goat milk on the table under the peach tree.

He took out a sweat towel and wiped the sweat off his face before saying, "I just met Uncle Rongfu. His goat has given birth to some goats. He said if I need goat milk, I can go to his house and get it."

"Okay, then let's take this opportunity to make more. It just so happens that my eldest brother made a lot of new molds for me not long ago."

"Okay, but sister, why did you say that the new goat milk soap needs a month to heal?" Qiu Hanli asked in confusion. Didn't it take only two nights to heal before?

Qiu Yinong explained, "Previously, there was a special medicinal powder that helped, but that powder is currently out of stock and difficult to make, so now we can only wait for it to evaporate the bad substances."

"So that's how it is."

"Let's hurry up. Second brother and the others are not at home. It will be hard for the three of us today."

"Okay." Qiu Hanli and the other two responded with a smile.

The three siblings got busy. Qiu Yinong adjusted the proportions and the three of them stirred faster, but it was still not strong enough.

Qiu Lizheng happened to be coming over with his two sons, and Qiu Yinong quickly asked for help: "Brother Shoufu, Brother Shougui, could you please help me stir it."

The two Shoufu brothers hurried forward to take it, asked how to make it, and started to mix it.

Qiu Yinong mixed the remaining two cylinders, and Qiu Lizheng, who also had some strength in his hands, helped to mix one as well.

Whoever is tired, Qiu Yinong will take over and stir things up for a while.

She had internal strength so she wasn't tired, but Qiu Lizheng and the others thought she was a weak girl, so after stirring for a while, they rushed over and continued stirring.

When Qiu Hansheng and the other two returned with smiles on their faces, all five barrels of soap had been prepared.

Qiu Hansheng and the other two quickly washed their hands and helped put the mold into the place. After everything was done, they placed the mold on a ventilated and cool shelf.

Qiu Yinong stretched and said to Qiu Lizheng, "Luckily, Fourth Uncle and my two brothers are here, otherwise we wouldn't be able to finish it so quickly."

"You're welcome, Xiaoliu. Fourth Uncle came here to confirm the name of the guesthouse with you."

"It's called Taoyuan Residence."

Then he picked up a wooden stick and wrote on the ground: The peach and plum blossoms have all bloomed, leaving only the green grass.

"Okay, let's call it Taoyuanju." Qiu Lizheng shouted yes.

Qiu Hanyan also applauded Qiu Yinong. Qiu Yinong smiled sheepishly and said, "This was written by a senior. I once saw it by chance."

"I have forgotten which book it was in."

Qiu Hanyan asked himself that he had studied the books of sages for ten years, but had never seen this poem. It must be that his sister was just being modest.

Qiu Lizheng had the same idea, but neither of them argued with Qiu Yinong.

"Later, Third Brother, please copy this out and we'll make it into plaques and hang them on both sides of the gate as a couplet."

"Okay, don't worry, Fourth Uncle." Qiu Hanyan nodded.

Qiu Lizheng said: "Then we will go back first. Tomorrow is the official start day."

"Uncle Si, please invite your family over for dinner tonight. I've made delicious braised sausages and braised large intestines for everyone."

Qiu Yinong quickly said to Qiu Lizheng, Qiu Lizheng's eyes lit up and he laughed heartily: "Okay, then Fourth Uncle won't be polite with you."

After leaving the Qiu family, Qiu Shoufu whispered, "Dad, that large intestine is full of feces. Is it really delicious?"

"You idiot, if you don't like it, don't eat it. Xiaoliu's cooking skills are very good. Don't be so greedy that you swallow your tongue tonight."

Qiu Lizheng slapped Qiu Shoufu on the head in annoyance, and Qiu Shoufu begged for mercy repeatedly.

The father and his two sons returned home in a very good mood.

After Qiu Hansheng came back, he took out the embroidery frame for Qiu Yinong and helped her stretch the embroidery cloth.

After Qiu Yinong finished preparing the embroidery frame, she went to the kitchen to work.

Qiu Hanli followed closely and learned humbly. He took the large intestine to the well and cleaned it, making sure it was very clean inside and out.
