The cured meat factory is operating normally. With Grandma Nan looking after it, Nanzhi isn't worried about any problems.
Moreover, it has already begun to take shape, growing from just over twenty people at the beginning to fifty people now.
With more people, more problems arise.
The warning still needs to be issued.
The next day, Old Lady Nan gathered everyone together.
Nanzhi was forcibly pulled over.
"Grandma, you can tell me, I don't need to."
Grandma Nan grabbed her granddaughter and said, "You have to teach Brother Li some manners, otherwise what if people like Qian come in and steal things again?"
Nanzhi: "Grandma, please do it."
It's been a long time since I've stood in front of people, so I'm actually a little nervous.
In short, it's social anxiety.
"Or I could find someone else to speak for me."
Grandma Nan noticed her granddaughter's timidity. "Why waste money? It's just a few words. We're all neighbors, no one will say anything."
It was precisely because of the fellow villagers that Nanzhi was afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Seeing her granddaughter standing on the stage, Grandma Nan felt a great sense of pride.
Of all my grandchildren, my granddaughter is the most obedient.
"What can a girl do? We always have to rely on our son."
The person who said this was Wang Cuilan from the next village, who often visited Taile Village.
Grandma Nan glared at her. "Your son can start from scratch and make money by opening a cured meat factory and a restaurant. Look at my granddaughter, she is an official appointed by the Emperor himself. Your son can't even catch a glimpse of my granddaughter's clothes."
Wang Cuilan believed that her son was not as capable as Nanzhi.
“A married daughter belongs to someone else’s family, why do you still treat her like a treasure?”
It has been said since ancient times that a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; she cannot be taken back.
Old Mrs. Nan said irritably, "That's your daughter. Look at my granddaughter, how capable she is. She gives this old woman money to spend from time to time, and she even has meat to eat."
Wang Cuilan couldn't argue with Old Lady Nan, so she shut her mouth.
Nan Zhi let out a long sigh and said sternly, "Our cured meat factory has some new faces, and I have to say a few words. I'm sure everyone has heard about what happened to Qian Shi. She stole things from my cured meat factory, and I personally delivered her to the yamen. She's currently sitting in the county jail."
Nanzhi paused, then continued, "If this happens again, I will not tolerate it. We put you all here to work so you can earn money, hold your heads high at home, and not have to suffer the stench of men. If you don't cherish this opportunity, many more people will be vying for it..."
Li Xunfang felt the same way. Since she came to this factory, her mother-in-law's eyes have become much kinder when she looks at her.
Even her husband, who used to dislike her, now treats her much better.
After Nan Zhi's impassioned speech, the women below straightened their backs considerably.
She can earn money and take care of her children, so why should she put up with a man's incompetence?
Even Nanlai Taiting felt a little restless, wanting to curse those hot-tempered men a few times.
Standing to the side, Nan Qun, who had come with his wife, couldn't help but touch his nose.
I thought about it and realized I probably hadn't upset my wife recently.
But seeing Qian Lanfang's angry gaze, Nan Qun felt it was best to leave first.
On the way back, Wei Guo asked, "Master, is the cured meat factory really called the cured meat factory?"
Nanzhi shook her head, thinking of a very beautiful name.
"From now on, it will be called 'Dafa Cured Meat Factory'."
Cherry in the space rolled her eyes.
What an earthy name.
......
A few days later, Nan Zhi suddenly noticed that Nan Chun Gu and Lin Jia Xiang had become much quieter recently.
Instead of taking advantage of his break to go out and play, he stayed there diligently and earnestly studying.
Seeing how diligently they were studying, Nanzhi didn't want to disturb them.
I had no choice but to ask Zhou Chang.
"Master, don't you think things are a bit off between them lately?"
Zhou Chang wondered, "Something's not right?"
Nan Zhi: "It's much easier to learn than before."
Nan Chunxian is normal, but it feels a bit out of place when applied to Nan Chungu and Lin Jiaxiang.
Zhou Chang took a sip of tea and said, "They have exams in a few days, so they'd better study harder."
"An exam?" Nan Zhi had completely forgotten about it.
According to the regulations of the Great Central Court, those who passed the county and prefectural examinations became students, and then they participated in the academy examination to become scholars. Next came the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and the palace examination.
All three of them had to participate in the county and prefectural examinations, which were held once a year.
Three days later, the annual county examination officially began at the county school.
To prepare for the exam, everyone arrived in the county town a day early and stayed at a restaurant.
In the morning, Nan Zhi took Nan Chunxian and Nan Chungu to the entrance of the examination center.
"Chunxian Chungu, relax and do your best on the exam, don't be nervous."
Nan Chunxian wasn't nervous at all; it was just a small county-level examination, which he passed with ease.
Nam Gyi, on the other hand, was very nervous.
Seeing Nan Chunxian's calm demeanor, she turned to give Nan Chungu some instructions.
Because of her fear of exams, Nanzhi felt flustered whenever exams were mentioned.
They happened to run into Lin Chengyi, who was also there to see Lin Jiaxiang off.
"Son, do well on the exam."
That's it, just one sentence.
Zhang Hongfu, who followed behind, gave a lot of instructions.
After watching the group enter, Nanzhi turned her head and saw Lin Chengyi.
"Why does Lord Lin seem so calm?" Nanzhi asked.
Lin Chengyi suddenly loosened his grip on his sleeve. "Of course, if he can't pass a small county exam, see how I beat him up."
Nanzhi covered her mouth and laughed, "I think you're even more nervous than I am."
Only after Nan Zhi and her entourage had gone far away did Lin Chengyi ask, "Zhang Hongfu, was I nervous?"
