Su Jiaoniang carried the little white dog back to the courtyard.
After thinking for a moment, I named the dog: "From today onwards, your name will be Lu Wujiu!"
"Huh?" Zhao Han, who hadn't left yet, was stunned. If he remembered correctly, Lu Wujiu was the biological father of the two children!
Now that the dog is barking like this, how can the child bear it? Aren't they afraid of being laughed at for having a dog as a father? It's just so inappropriate.
"Lady Su, this name isn't very good!" Zhao Han had his own little calculations in mind. His master was clearly taking a liking to the young widow. Taking in two children could be explained as a matter of loving the house because of the child, but if they had a dog at home named Lu Wujiu...
Hearing a woman's ex-husband's name every day would be unbearable for most men.
"Then let's change it to Xiaobai!" Su Jiaoniang reached out and patted the husky's head. The silly dog was cute and silly, with its eyes closed and a look of enjoyment on its face.
He wanted to be touched again after being touched once, and rubbed against Su Jiaoniang without any coquettishness.
"Little White, let's go eat meat!" Su Jiaoniang carried the dog towards the kitchen.
He fed the dog meat, and when he came out, Zhao Han was still in the yard.
They've even become friends with the people peeling persimmons in the courtyard, chatting and laughing together.
Jiang squinted at Zhao Han: "Young man, if you don't like any particular girl after you get married, your aunt can help you find a match!"
"No need, no need, women will slow down my sword-drawing speed!" Zhao Han said with a smile, knowing he could become a womanizer whenever he wanted.
Su Jiaoniang had her own things to do. She fed the husky two pieces of boiled meat, picked up the dog, and walked out. Zhao Han saw this and immediately followed her out.
As the weather gets colder, Lucheng becomes increasingly prosperous.
With no farm work to do at the end of autumn, people from all walks of life, whether farmers or others, start looking for ways to earn money.
Some people brought out their homemade bamboo strips to sell.
It's not expensive, only two coins each.
Baskets, straw sandals, and brooms are common items that farmers make themselves. Most villagers don't buy them, but city dwellers might occasionally buy one or two.
Even if a farmer can sell one or two items a day, it's still worthwhile.
Su Jiaoniang glanced at the bamboo strips and bought twenty in one go.
She has a lot of persimmons at home, which need to be dried, so she needs a lot of bamboo strips.
"Can it be delivered to my home?" Su Jiaoniang asked.
"Great! Great!" Selling twenty bamboo strips in a day, why bother with a stall? I've made several days' worth of business in one go.
After I asked for the address, the old man who ran the stall started packing up his things.
Su Jiaoniang continued walking around the county town and saw the little girl with a worried look on her face.
"Is the young lady looking for a shop?" Zhao Han asked.
Su Jiaoniang nodded: "Does Young Master Zhao have connections?"
"Please don't call me Young Master Zhao. I am Zhao Han. Madam Su, just call me by my name." Zhao Han was flexible and humbled himself in front of Su Jiao Niang.
Although the person in front of me currently has no other obvious advantages besides being a better cook.
But could anyone else conquer the prince? In other words, would the person who could conquer the prince be an ordinary person?
That alone is enough to make him humble himself.
“I can find a shop, but…” Zhao Han was interrupted by Su Jiaoniang before he could finish speaking: “Since there is a problem, don’t say it. The price of that problem will probably be much more difficult than setting up a simple little shop.”
Zhao Han shut his mouth.
Su Jiaoniang walked to the shop where the flowers were made.
Pushing open the door and stepping inside, the place was completely renovated. The display stands and shelves were all freshly painted and adorned with carvings, exquisite in every detail. Carpenter Wang, holding a rag, meticulously cleaned every corner of the shop.
"You did a great job."
Su Jiaoniang praised her.
Carpenter Wang smiled and looked down.
His family knew his situation; apart from this person, no one in the county would ask him to do business. If he didn't make any business, he wouldn't have anything to eat.
Because of this alone, the shop must be run with great care.
"Please inspect it, Madam Su. If you find anything wrong, just let me know, and I'll definitely fix it to your satisfaction." Carpenter Wang spoke these dry, flattering words, words that Bai Shi from his household had taught him.
This is how you get a steady stream of customers.
"Everything is fine!" Qin Jiaojiao smiled.
"That's good, that's good!" Carpenter Wang pursed his lips, a smile appearing in his eyes.
It's an honor to have your creations appreciated.
After inspecting the shop, Su Jiaoniang turned to look at Carpenter Wang and said, "I'd like to order some gift boxes. You can take a look at them first. They should contain six or eight mooncake-sized items, be lightweight and attractive, and look high-end at first glance!"
Having business means having income.
Carpenter Wang naturally wouldn't refuse.
He looked at Su Jiaoniang with gratitude.
After seeing off Carpenter Wang, Su Jiaoniang immediately informed the children at the orphanage that the hairpins with intertwined flowers could finally be sold.
There's no need for gongs and drums or lion dances for the opening ceremony; just buy two strings of firecrackers, put them outside, and light them.
It's a low-cost business; the expensive part is manpower and brainpower. You don't need many people to sell, and there's no need to recruit anyone. The children from the orphanage can stand up and sell on their own.
Zhao Han glanced at the hairpin, his face filled with astonishment.
A small hairpin actually costs two taels of silver.
With two taels of silver, you could buy anything, enough to satisfy your hunger and thirst for a long time.
"Miss Su, don't you think the price of this is a bit outrageous?" Zhao Han asked.
Su Jiaoniang chuckled lightly: "Don't you think eating lamb kidneys is ridiculously overpriced?"
