Uncle Qin returned soon, and brought back a lot of icy green bean soup, as well as some fresh meat and vegetables, which Yang Haiyan asked the kitchen to prepare.
The chickens and ducks in the military camp fields had laid eggs, and Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin could eat one every day. This was a benefit, but both of them were reluctant to eat it, and saved the eggs to bring back when they came to the general's mansion. Qin Qiuya lived here, and they were also worried that the eldest wife would have opinions, so every time they came, they would bring eggs and buy some snacks. Aunt Qin would also make shoes for Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin. Now that Yang Haiyan was pregnant, she also made clothes and pants for the child.
But every time they came, Yang Haiyan would return the favor with vegetables and meat from her own garden. These were nothing to Yang Haiyan, who had a monthly salary of more than 300 taels, not to mention the bonus from the court to Qin Fang. Moreover, the agent of the imperial grain processing factory received tens of thousands of taels of silver as agency fees. The emperor confiscated their franchise fees, which was considered a subsidy to them, but they did receive the agency fees from the agents.
So now Yang Haiyan and Qin Fang have bulging pockets and are very rich, with at least 50,000 in savings.
However, when it comes to the Huangliang franchise factory, many of the employees there are family members of the generals' guards, including the guards' wives, mothers, etc., as well as family members of soldiers in the barracks. When selecting guards and soldiers in the barracks, their family situations were investigated, and they were recruited only after confirming that their families were fine, so this can be considered as the treatment of military families.
Not to mention, these people work hard.
Hedong Prefecture is the first batch of Huangliang franchisee trial sites. Potato flour and sweet potato flour in the prefecture and county are already on the market. It must be said that because buying potato flour and sweet potato flour will provide potato flour and sweet potato flour cooking methods and meals, plus the emperor's living signboard, the flour is sold quite well.
There are also people from other prefectures who come to Hedong Prefecture to observe the situation and study the market, and then buy potato flour and sweet potato flour to try. It can be said that in other prefectures, whether it is the franchise fee or the agency fee, it will only get higher and higher.
However, even if it gets higher and higher, tens of thousands of taels of silver or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are small numbers for aristocratic families. What is an aristocratic family? It is the accumulation of several generations that is called an aristocratic family.
This is also the reason why Yang Haiyan suggested that franchisees choose from aristocratic families, because aristocratic families have money.
Uncle Qin returned to the military camp field. It was still early and it was not time to cook dinner. However, because the eldest wife of the Qin family was busy with the affairs of the imperial grain factory, the job of feeding the soldiers was handed over to Aunt Qin, so Aunt Qin was also very busy. But Aunt Qin was also willing to be busy, because she earned more money every month, and she was also the one who received her share of Mother Qin's monthly allowance, so she was busy and happy. Moreover, Uncle Qin would also help her. Speaking of Uncle Qin's help, this was something she had never dared to imagine before.
When she was in Baili Village before, she had never seen any grandfathers helping women wash things, but here, seeing that she was too busy, Uncle Qin also began to learn to help. Helping more often became a habit.
When Aunt Qin was about to cut the washed vegetables, she saw Uncle Qin coming back. Looking at the things in his hands, she said a little embarrassedly: "Why did you take so many things again? How can we pay them back?"
Uncle Qin put the things down: "I'll cut the vegetables." He was strong and cut quickly. Then he said, "This was given by Afang's wife. My nephew and niece-in-law are filial to me, so why should we return it?" Although he said this, Uncle Qin was just talking. He was smart and knew that kindness should be mutual. "Don't think too much. Afang and his family are in good condition. Why should we return the things they gave us? We just need to help Afang manage the crops well." Although these were things that came out of the eldest wife's fingers and the eldest wife didn't care about these, Uncle Qin was still satisfied in his heart. If it were in the past, who would have thought that they could live such a life? "By the way, there's mung bean soup here, and it's iced. It's the most comfortable to drink on this day. Afang's wife asked me to bring it here. Have a bowl to sweeten your mouth."
Aunt Qin San asked while drinking mung bean soup: "Have you seen San Ya? Is our daughter-in-law okay?"
Uncle Qin San said: "No, she studies with the teacher in the morning and goes to the embroidery workshop in the afternoon. How can you see her? But didn't I see her last time? She's taller and paler, which shows that she's living a very good life in the general's mansion. And don't you know what kind of person Afang's wife is? She must be good to our daughter-in-law."
Uncle Qin San Auntie said, "Yes, Yanyan is a reliable person. By the way, are you going this time?"
Speaking of this, Uncle Qin started talking about Tao Shan: "...what do you think?"
Auntie Qin heard: "Isn't he too old?" Uncle Qin
said: "But he follows A Fang, and he will definitely have a bright future. Even if he doesn't have a bright future, he has A Fang here. If he becomes your brother-in-law, can you not promote him?"
Speaking of this, Auntie Qin had an idea: "If A Fang can promote his brother-in-law, then if someone else becomes his brother-in-law, he can also be promoted."
Uncle Qin thought about it and felt that this made sense.
Aunt Qin San was also a person who always read people's faces: "Besides, in three years, San Ya will be sixteen years old, and I will be twenty-five years old. If San Ya doesn't have a child in the first few years, I will be almost thirty years old. Can I wait? Besides, the first child will take our surname. What if, like me, I only have one child, what will people think? I think carefully, it's better to marry a son-in-law."
After she said this, Uncle Qin San didn't think much about it, but felt a little pity: "Then I will talk to Afang's wife later."
Aunt Qin San said: "Well, the age difference is really too big." A thirteen-year-old girl is just a half-grown girl, but a twenty-two-year-old man is indeed a real man. Aunt Qin San thought it was inappropriate.
A few days later, Uncle Qin San went to the general's mansion again. He told Yang Haiyan about his and Auntie Qin's thoughts: "Afang's wife, this is difficult for you. You are looking for San Ya, and the result is..."
Yang Haiyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle San, the so-called looking is a process, and you have to take your time to look."
Uncle Qin was relieved when he heard her say this. He was afraid that Yang Haiyan would be unhappy after he refused.
Uncle Qin came in the morning, and came early to see his daughter. He will go back after seeing her. He will go back to help at noon.
After Uncle Qin left, Grandma Qin said, "Yanyan, you are pregnant now, with twins. Sanya's matter is not urgent. She is only thirteen years old. Don't worry about it. Your own health is more important." Even if the old lady is nice to her granddaughter, or even very nice, she always favors her grandson over her granddaughter, not to mention that this is her proudest grandson. And Yang Haiyan is carrying her great-grandson or great-granddaughter. In the eyes of Grandma Qin, Qin Qiuya, the granddaughter, is not as important as the child in Yang Haiyan's belly. Even if
Yang Haiyan gave birth to a girl, the girl is still important. This is probably because the daughter is honored by the father.
Yang Haiyan said, "I know, grandma, don't worry, I won't tire myself out. Besides, I don't have anyone suitable for Qiuya at the moment. She is only thirteen years old now, so she can wait for another two years. After waiting for two years, I will be better and the person I meet will be better." At this age, it's neither good nor bad.
Grandma Qin said, "Yes, yes, no rush."
Yang Haiyan chatted with Grandma Qin for a while, then stood up and said, "Grandma, I'm going back now."
Grandma Qin stood up and said, "Hey, be careful." As she spoke, she was going to see Yang Haiyan off.
Yang Haiyan did not refuse. In fact, every time she came, Grandma Qin liked to watch her leave, and she had no choice. After leaving Liuxinyuan and on the way back to her own courtyard, Yang Haiyan saw Qin Shouye. Seeing him carrying several packets of medicine, Yang Haiyan called out to him, "Shouye, who is sick?"
Qin Shouye saw Yang Haiyan and stopped, "Sister-in-law, it's me. I felt a little dizzy because the weather is too hot, so I went to Doctor Li to get some medicine."
Yang Haiyan looked at the weather. In ancient times when there was no air conditioning or fans, using ice alone to cool down was indeed not enough: "Pay attention to your body. " "
I know, thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. Then sister-in-law, I'll go back first if I'm fine."
Yang Haiyan said, "Well, you can go back."
Nanny Lian watched Qin Shouye go back and said to Yang Haiyan, "Second Master has been sick for several days and hasn't recovered yet. Is it a big deal?"
Yang Haiyan was stunned: "Several days?"
Nanny Lian said, "Yes, it's been seven or eight days. I remember the old woman in their yard came to tell me that Second Master is sick. , and has been taking medicine for several days. I also said that Doctor Li is a good doctor, and there is nothing wrong with seeing a doctor when you are sick. But now it has been seven or eight days, and the second master is still not well. Moreover, the weather is hot. If the second master goes to get medicine, why doesn’t the mother-in-law go?"
Yang Haiyan thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the mother-in-law is lazy? How about this, let's go to Doctor Li and ask about the situation of Shouye. This child's personality is that he will definitely not tell his family if he is sick, and he doesn't want to make his family worry. But Mother and father are busy with the affairs of the imperial grain factory. I feel bad that Shouye has been ill for so long and still hasn't recovered."
Aunt Lian held an umbrella in one hand and supported her with the other: "It's so hot, you'd better take care of yourself. Why don't I take you back to the yard and then go and ask."
Yang Haiyan thought about it and realized that it was hot and she really didn't want to walk any more, so she agreed: "Okay."
Aunt Lian took Yang Haiyan to the yard and went to find Doctor Li with an umbrella.
"Doctor Li... Is Doctor Li here?" Aunt Lian shouted as soon as she reached the door.
Miss Li came out of the house: "Mammy, it's you. My father went out to collect herbs early in the morning. If you want to look for him, you have to wait until dinner time, when he will be back."
Mammy Lian heard it and said: "It's okay. It's the same if I look for you."
