pastoral little wife

Chapter 153 Interrogation (5)
Or is it that others are smart, but they really can't love learning?This is not allowed!She has to make Nie Dalang work hard to fall in love with studying, otherwise the workshop will be built and there will be too many things to do. After she leaves, the whole stall will be thrown to him. If he can't read, he will definitely suffer a lot!

Yun Duo began to instill in Nie Dalang the benefits of literacy and the disadvantages of illiteracy.

Nie Dalang saw that she must persuade him to fall in love with the little appearance of studying and learning, and secretly smiled inwardly, with a look of being educated on his face, he did not forget to pass her a bowl of tea, but when she finished speaking, he said, "I You don’t take the No. [-] Scholar exam, and you’re so old, you just need to know a few characters. You don’t need to know how to make starch and sell starch. You can do it if you don’t know how to read.”

Yun Duo choked on a sip of tea, and coughed for a long time, her coughing face flushed, and she pointed at Nie Dalang.She said so much about her feelings, but she didn't listen to a single word!
Seeing that she was a little angry, Nie Dalang withdrew the hand that gave her comfort, and picked up the brush again, "You let me learn, and I will learn."

Yun Duo pulled his face and assigned him homework, how many characters he had to know every day, how many big characters he had to write, and how many "Analects of Confucius" he had to memorize. He also thought about going to the county this time and buying two more collections of poetry.Seeing Nie Dalang practicing calligraphy quietly, the yellowed rice paper is in a mess, chickens and dogs are crawling all over the paper, and his two eyebrows are approaching closely.Yun Duo was suspicious for a moment.Has Nie Dalang not passed the rebellious stage yet?How to learn to have a tendency to develop into a bear child?

In the next two days, when Yun Duo was teaching people how to wash the electricity, he would visit home from time to time to see how Nie Dalang was doing.

Nie Dalang has practiced more characters, but it is still unsightly.

On the day of going to the county seat, talking to Wang Zhong on the way, Yun Duo remembered why Nie Dalang's handwriting looked so rough, "When I come back, I will buy you two more copies of tracing red!" When she was a child, she also learned big characters from copybooks.

When they arrived at Nanping County, they left a set of crystal cakes and other snacks for Grandma Fan and another set for Han Fu, and sent them to Jixiang Dim Sum Shop together with jujube cake and hawthorn slices.

Yun Duo looked at it, and there were jujube cakes and hawthorn cakes in the dim sum shop, but unlike hers, they hadn't made the hawthorn slices yet.

In the early winter season, people started to eat cats and dogs, stopped working, and their food became greasy. Many people looked for jujube cakes and hawthorn slices.Nie Dalang and Yun Duo delivered the last batch of goods, and Qi, the shopkeeper of the dim sum shop, immediately accepted them all. He became more enthusiastic towards the two of them, saying that he wanted to buy the prescriptions for hawthorn slices and jujube cake.

Yun Duo didn’t want to sell recipes, so he suggested to the shopkeeper, “This is a season to eat, and there will be nothing after the season. You can grind the dried hawthorn into powder, and use hawthorn powder for swimsuits to make snacks. Although the taste is not good, it’s about the same. I don’t sell recipes, but I can teach you two other desserts for free, one crystal cake and one Xuemei Niang.”

"Crystal Cake!?" Shopkeeper Qi was taken aback. Crystal Cake is the secret recipe of the dim sum shop in the capital. The girl in front of him knows how to teach him?And that Xuemei Niang is also a snack?
Yun Duo smiled slightly, "Master Qi! This is not the first time we have cooperated. You are kind and principled, so we came to you. Of course, this dessert was not taught to you in vain. My crystal cake is different from others. It is made of different materials. We brought cornstarch and sweet potato starch, as well as dim sum, you can try it before deciding whether to buy our starch.”

Shopkeeper Qi also ran back and forth, seeing that the crystal cake was indeed different from the ones sold in the capital, as well as the snow-white and soft dumpling. He tasted one each and couldn't help nodding, "This crystal cake is better than the ones I've eaten. The crystal cake tastes better. And this white dumpling, it’s called Xuemei Niang? What a unique name.”

Yun Duo smiled and didn't explain, keeping a sense of mystery.Perhaps many things are named randomly without explaining their meanings. People assign various mysterious meanings to them because of their own love.It's so embarrassing.

Shopkeeper Qi thought for a moment, "You only sell starch, nothing else?"

Those who do business are really not stupid, Yun Duo smiled, "Our village has just opened a starch workshop to make all kinds of starch. At present, only corn starch and sweet potato starch are produced. Shopkeeper Qi makes dim sum, so he should know that starch is easy to make. In order to ensure the interests of the village, we will teach shopkeeper Qi a dim sum recipe, which requires shopkeeper Qi to sign a purchase agreement with our workshop for several years. When the contract time is up, shopkeeper Qi is free to renew the contract, and the recipe belongs to you."

Starch is also used to make dim sum in the shop. After seeing the shopkeeper Qi, the starch brought by Yun Duo and Nie Dalang is very clean, and there are two more dim sum recipes, especially the crystal cake.In the future, you can also develop other snacks by yourself, which is a matter of mutual benefit for both parties.He nodded directly in agreement.

Yun Duo didn't sell all the starch to him, "There is so much starch produced in the workshop that the shopkeeper Qi can't eat it."

This is also a fact. Although shopkeeper Qi didn't want it, he could only agree.

After weighing the starch, shopkeeper Qi wrote the contract.

Yun Duo took it over and read it again, pretending to understand with a face full of incomprehension.Then hand it to Nie Dalang.

Nie Dalang also looked like he couldn't be wrong if he didn't understand. The two looked at each other, "We know the character of shopkeeper Qi, so we won't deceive us."

Shopkeeper Qi opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched.It turned out that both of them were illiterate, but they looked so serious just now, and they looked literate.Besides, such mutually beneficial things, since it is a contract, it is a matter of principle, and there is no need for him to lie.Arched hands, ask Yun Duo to teach him how to make crystal cakes and Xue Mei Niang.

Yun Duo gave a brief demonstration, carefully taught the method to shopkeeper Qi, and Nie Dalang and Nie Dalang rushed to the next shop with the remaining starch.

This time, they didn't bring much starch, so Yunduo went to three companies, and all of them successfully signed five-year contracts.

"Where are the other houses?" Nie Dalang asked her.

Yun Duo once again took the opportunity to teach him the way of business, "Don't worry about the other companies. When the dim sum of these three companies are ready for sale, the other companies will take the initiative to find us! Let's find them, and they will lower the price. If they Come to us, the price is up to us. But the price of doing business must be fair in order to do it in the long run.”

Nie Dalang nodded receptively, seeing her as an adult, with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing that it was not early, the two of them went to the Han Mansion again, brought some snacks, two packets of starch, and made a meal of fish.

Mrs. Han likes hawthorn cakes very much, Mrs. Han likes crystal cakes very much, and the young masters all like Xuemei Niang.Mrs. Han wanted to sell recipes again, Yun Duo directly said that the dim sum in the family can be bought at dim sum shops, and by the way, she advertised for several dim sum shops.Taking the reward of five taels of silver, he went straight out of Han Mansion.

Grandma Fan was very dissatisfied with Yun Duo's procrastination, and urged her to cook fish for the promised family tomorrow.

Yun Duo went to two families from morning till night to cook all kinds of fish and vegetables for a day.

On the third day, they ran to two more, and made crystal cakes and Xuemei Niang again, and the family sent a copy.Although there was a lot of rewards, after two days in a row, Yun Duo was really tired. After soaking his feet at night, he touched the tracing red book and medicine, as well as two cotton cloths that had been reduced in price, yokan and agar, and some other things. After buying all the seasonings and utensils, I told Nie Dalang, "Let's go back early tomorrow morning!" I was so lucky that I didn't meet Pang Ren this time.

"Okay! Get up early tomorrow." Nie Dalang said, taking her arm and rubbing it for her.

Seeing his serious expression, his handsome face was filled with warm colors under the light, and Yun Duo was not only a little dazed.Nie Dalang...is not ugly.

However, at dawn, Grandma Fan refused to let the two of them go, "There is another family who is serving wine today and invited you to cook fish. If you work one more day, you will get more rewards! Starting a workshop is not a trivial matter." Son, there has to be silver running."

"Which one is it?" Yun Duo suddenly had a bad premonition.

Grandma Fan said with a smile, "It's the Pang family! Master Pang takes concubines, sets a few tables of wine, and lets you cook a few fish dishes. Even if you're tired for another day, you can get a lot of rewards. What's the matter at home, Leave when you're done."

Nie Dalang's eyes darkened, and his gaze at Grandma Fan suddenly became sharp.
