Zhang replied with a smile: "Okay, be careful on the road, young lady."
Zhang's son walked up to her, pointed at Kang Yueran's back as she walked away, and asked, "Mom, who is that girl? She's so pretty!"
Zhang slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask the girl's name."
She glared at her son again and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It will hurt my reputation."
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Huang was going back to her parents' home. Kang Yuanchen was earning money now, so Huang brought a lot of things with her. She also told Ye that she would stay at her parents' home for one night and return on the third day.
Married women from Fengtou Village would also return to Fengtou Village on this day, so Ye was not idle at home either, and many people still came to talk to her.
Kang Yueran couldn't hide away because Manager Cheng from the Bi Guang Tower in town came.
After not seeing each other for nearly two years, Manager Cheng was still the same. The two of them talked about their feelings for a long time when they met, and Kang Yueran also asked about the situation of Mr. Liu.
"Master Liu is the owner of the Huang Family Grain Store. He often helps his boss, the Anzhou grain merchant, Master Huang Li, buy land and hire people, and he's deeply trusted by Master Huang. The Huang Family Grain Store is the largest in Lu'an Town, and Master Liu is used to being overbearing."
Mr. Liu is so kind-hearted. If he had not been more domineering, how could the Huang family grain store become the largest grain store in Lu'an Town?
"If a shopkeeper dares to be so arrogant, then Huang Li must be a bad person in private."
Shopkeeper Cheng also had his difficulties. "There's nothing we can do about it. The wealth of the Anzhou Huang family is not something we ordinary people can compare to."
He smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I came to you because I want to ask you for help with something."
"You tell me! I will definitely help if I can."
Shopkeeper Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "I want to open a soybean oil mill. Can you help me think of a solution?"
If you want to open an oil mill, you can just hire a skilled oil presser. You don't need to ask her. Shopkeeper Cheng doesn't want to open an oil mill, he wants to open a soy sauce workshop.
"Okay, go get some smart guys to come to Kaoshan Village, and I'll ask the old master from the oil mill to teach you. There's also a soy sauce workshop in Kaoshan Village, and they can teach you how to make soy sauce."
Shopkeeper Cheng only mentioned it once, and Kang Yueran readily agreed, which made him very grateful. "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, girl! Now everyone likes to add a little soy sauce to their cooking, so it will definitely sell better in the future."
"I plan to share my cooking method this year. My soybean oil and soy sauce will sell better!"
"Yueran, no wonder your business is so big, you're really smart."
Kang Yueran raised an eyebrow. "No need to praise me! You should buy a place and build a workshop as soon as possible. You also need to harvest beans. You should start making soy sauce in early March. The method of brewing soy sauce is not difficult, but it takes too long. It will take until September to brew it."
"I'll go check out the place tomorrow and make sure I don't miss the date."
"I'll send someone to help you build a workshop around the tenth day of the lunar month."
Shopkeeper Cheng was beaming with joy. "That's great! Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome! I'll give you a cooking recipe later."
"No need for a recipe, I've already gotten a great deal."
"The cooking method is no longer a secret. It won't be a problem."
Shopkeeper Cheng stood up and bowed, "Then I'd be very sorry to refuse!"
Kang Yueran stood up and helped Manager Cheng back to his seat, "Let's not be polite!"
She invited Manager Cheng to have lunch with her, and also invited Kang Yanshun and Kang Hong to join them.
Not long after Manager Cheng left, Huang and her mother and son came back, and they came back angry.
Kang Yuanchen took the initiative to explain the reason, "It's all because I was too flamboyant. I said I had opened a large car dealership with a partner. After hearing that, my uncle asked me to bring my two cousins with me, and I agreed.
But unexpectedly, my cousin was so careless that the whole village knew about it. Many people ran to my uncle's house to beg my mother and me, but when they saw that I refused to agree, they knelt on the ground and refused to get up. My mother got angry and took us back home.
Huang was still furious. "My two nephews are hardworking and down-to-earth. They're relatives, so I should help them. But who are those people? They just wanted to take advantage. I didn't agree, and it became my fault. I'm so angry."
Ye had been deeply touched these past two days. She handed Huang a glass of water and said, "Don't be angry. There were still many people coming to my house today. They all wanted Yue Ran to help them, but I refused them all.
Some people even asked about Yueran's marriage, but I told them there was no rush and that we could talk about it later! "Kang Yueran was seventeen years old, but she was actually quite anxious.
Kang Yuanwu covered his mouth and laughed secretly, "Several young women talked to my brother today, and my brother's face turned red."
Kang Yuanchen slapped Kang Yuanwu on the back of the head. "What nonsense are you talking about? Men and women shouldn't touch each other, so we have to avoid suspicion."
"I didn't say anything about avoiding suspicion. I said your face was as red as a monkey's butt."
Kang Yuanchen was furious. "You are the one who looks like a monkey's ass. Do you want to be beaten?"
The two brothers' playfulness made the situation relaxed.
Huang smiled and said, "Yuan Chen is eighteen years old. It's time for him to consider getting married."
"Mom, I'm not in a hurry! I'm very busy, so I don't have time to think about marriage. It's not too late to get married after I turn 20."
"It's none of your business, mom is here!"
Ye couldn't control Kang Yueran's marriage, and her own son Kang Yuanfeng was too young, so she also cast a caring look at Kang Yuanchen, "Yuanchen, I will help your mother choose for you!"
Huang held Ye's hand and the two of them discussed in a low voice.
Kang Yueran stopped Kang Yuanchen who was about to argue and said, "Let them discuss it. If they find someone suitable, you can get married. If they don't, then don't agree. Anyway, your mother won't force you to get married."
