Gao Zhi deposited the 1,000 taels of medical fees in the county bank. They saved all the money they earned in the past few years, except for daily expenses.

"Mother, this is the bank's stub."

Xie took it and looked at it, her eyes widened.

"One one one... one thousand taels?"

Gao Zhi nodded and smiled.

"Yes! The consultation fee is one thousand taels, and there are these two jade pendants as tokens of trust. If we encounter any difficulties that we cannot handle in the future, we can ask them for help.

Master and I have discussed this, and we have to save the favor of these two jade pendants.

When Gao Miao goes to the capital in the future, perhaps we can use him."

Gao Zhi also gave the jade pendant to Xie for safekeeping.

Xie's hands were shaking as she held the money bank, bank receipt and jade pendant.

“Jiaojiao.”

Oh my, her little darling, how could she be so good.

I am wholeheartedly thinking about Gao Miao.

Gao Zhi raised his hand to wipe away Xie's tears, "Mom, please don't be like this, we are a family, honor and disgrace are the same."

"Yeah, yeah, I understand." Xie kept nodding, her tears still flowing.

She understood, but that didn't stop her from being moved.

…

The Xie family built a workshop in a hurry, made a list to buy spices, make marinade bags, and barbecue seasoning. All those who came to work in the Xie family workshop had to sign a confidentiality agreement before officially starting work.

If the seasoning recipe in the workshop is leaked, there will be severe punishment.

Gao Zhi's ideas have never changed.

Friendship is friendship, and business is business.

All the necessary rules must be followed.

Without rules, problems will inevitably arise from time to time in the future.

It will be even worse if we wait until then to fall out with each other!

Why not say the ugly things upfront so that everyone can restrain each other.

The villagers of Lao Zhuang Village were also busy. They were busy raising white-haired rabbits, working in Xie's workshop, working in the shops, and picking out braised meat and tofu to sell.

Although the days are busy, they are becoming more fulfilling day by day.

Because everyone's interests were cleverly tied together by Gao Zhi, the villagers became more and more united, and no one dared to touch the rules of the Xie family anymore.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another four years have passed.

Gao Zhi was eleven years old and Gao Miao was eighteen years old. They were about to take part in the county examination. Both he and Gao Yunting were going to become Juren.

During these four years, Mr. Yan opened more than 60 branches. In addition to producing a large number of seasoning packets and marinade packets every day, the most popular products of Xie's workshop are fermented bean curd and various cured meats.

Gao Zhi was very far-sighted. From the very beginning, he asked Xie to register the signboard with the government and pay taxes legally.

Everything that comes out of the Xie family workshop is branded Xianglan.

There is also a special logo designed by Gao Zhi.

Mr. Yan's brother-in-law had connections and influence, so Gao Zhi advised him to find a place to open a shop, specializing in selling products from the Xie family workshop to various places, which means he is the modern general distributor.

The general distributor will then derive distributors, wholesalers, and retailers.

Go down layer by layer.

If he cooperates with a few familiar escort agencies, he won't have to travel so far.

Although they had just started using the general distributor model and had not yet achieved the sales level that Gao Zhi had envisioned, they had the advantage of having connections, and they did manage to sell more Xianglan brand products.

"Uncle Qin, you can try this form. If you are not used to it or there is a better way, you can change it. My master also saw this in the West. They recorded the amount of income and expenditure in this way.

What is suitable for others may not be suitable for us, but my family has been using it for several years and my mother likes it very much.

I can see it clearly, so I wrote it to you to see if it is applicable to you. "

Several people came out of Qin's shop.

Gao Zhi has grown into a grown-up girl. At the age of eleven, her face hasn't changed much, perhaps because she still has baby fat or because she has always had a round face, but her height has grown like a bamboo shoot after the rain.

Gao Zhi measured his height and found that he was 1.6 meters tall.

With her height, if she didn't say she was nine years old, others would think she was a grown-up girl.

Gao Miao was once very worried.

I was secretly worried, worried that my little girl was too tall, and worried that one day Gao Zhi might be taller than me.

Tsk…

Thinking of that scene, Gao Miao became even more worried.

Gao Miao could only pray secretly that the little girl would not grow too tall, about 1.7 meters would be enough, and no taller than 1.75 meters.

After all, he is only 185.

Qin Jiabao escorted Gao Zhi out. After listening to Gao Zhi's words, he quickly said, "Miss Gao, you are too modest! I think this table will be very useful. The gentleman has a good eye to bring back such a good table."

Gao Zhi smiled, "Then you try it first."

"good!"

"Uncle Qin, goodbye." Gao Zhi looked at Xie who was walking out from the opposite side, and happily waved as he walked over, "Mom."

Mrs. Xie had just gone to the cloth shop to buy some cloth, intending to make new clothes for her two children who were growing rapidly.

Mrs. Xie stood beside the carriage, waiting for her while waiting for the waiter from the cloth shop to put the cloth on.

Qin Jiabao's eyes lit up and he followed over.

Qin Jiabao's wife passed away three years ago. He had been very loyal and stayed with her for three years. Apart from his two children, he had no concubines or anything like that at home. He would never go to that kind of place to drink unless he was discussing business.

In ancient times, a man like Qin Jiabao was considered very good.

However, Qin Jiabao had a lot of contact with Xie over the years, and he always thought that Xie was a good woman, and he also developed a different feeling for Xie.

It's been three years, and he wants to remarry.

"Big sister."

"Boss Qin." Xie shifted her gaze away from Gao Zhi and looked at Qin Jiabao with a smile.

We are partners, and more like friends in private.

However, Xie was very strict with the opposite sex and would not give any of them the feeling that they were being treated differently.

She has always shown the same respect to her two children's teacher, Si Ke.

"Big sister, are you here to buy cloth?"

"Yes."

Gao Zhi looked at Qin Jiabao, then at Xie, and suddenly understood something.

Qin Jiabao is interested in her mother.

But it was obvious that her mother didn't mean that.

In the past, Gao Zhi had talked to Xie about it. If she met the right person, she could marry again. Not all men in this world are as bad as Gao Tairan.

To be honest, Gao Zhi still hopes that Xie can be happy.

Xie said with a serious face.

Getting married is not as good as making money.

Having money in your pocket is much better than getting married.

Besides, I have both a son and a daughter, and I have a lot of money and possessions. Why should I be so stupid as to find a man to serve me?

At that time, Gao Zhi was stunned.

She could swear that although she was changing Xie's mind in a subtle way and letting Xie know that women could also be strong, she really did not instill such avant-garde ideas in Xie.

Gao Zhi shook his head secretly.

Qin Jiabao, no hope!

Her mother now has a heart of a woman of steel.

Gao Zhi could still tell whether there was hope or not.

If Xie was attracted to the other party, he would not have such an attitude.

At least the look is different.

The topic suddenly got stuck.

The waiter at the cloth shop said that all the things had been loaded onto the carriage.

Xie looked at Qin Jiabao and said, "Boss Qin, we have something else to do. We'll leave now!"

Qin Jiabao had no choice but to nod.

After getting on the carriage, Gao Zhi took Xie's arm.

"Mom, let's go live in the county for a while. Gao Miao will take an exam in three days."
