"You found oranges? Did you find them outside?"

After Lin Huilan finished embroidering the handkerchief, she saw the oranges that Jin Xueer had brought back and asked her about them curiously.

"How would I know? Jin Yun found it."

Jin Xue'er lowered her head, her eyes darting around. She quickly entered the house, her heart pounding in her chest.

"I'll try it."

Lin Huilan took a bite of the orange, a fruit that was both sour and sweet. In the past, she would have definitely thrown it away, but now, she savored it slowly. She looked at Jin Xue'er, who had just entered the room, and asked, "Xue'er, aren't you going to eat some?"

"I don't want to eat."

Jin Xue'er's voice came from inside the house. She clutched her chest and asked, "What does Zhuang Haichao mean?"

……

"It's done!"

"Your new juicer produces fifteen pounds more juice than the old method!"

"Thirteen catties of juice, plus three more catties of sugar, that's equivalent to over a hundred copper coins!"

"Fifteen more pounds of juice this time isn't much, but over time, that amount will be considerable!"

The first step in building the new sugar mill was the juice extraction workshop. After the juice extraction machine was improved, from the stone mill to the pressing trough, everyone initially thought that Cheng Qiqi was just messing around. But after she finished, everyone looked at her with admiration!

Meanwhile, their eyes burned with anticipation; perhaps their sugar shop really could sell two hundred or three hundred taels of sugar in the future…

In that case, every household in their village would receive a considerable amount of money, right?

"Madam Cheng, our triple stove is finished. What do you think, is it suitable?"

They used to think that Cheng Qiqi was crazy for building nine pots and three triple stoves, but now they think that maybe, like a juicer, it can produce better sugar?

As a result, those who had previously made excuses and delayed things now showed great interest, and even the construction speed increased.

Cheng Qiqi smiled without saying a word. These people really don't act until they see results. They just keep delaying until they see her produce any work.

Sure enough, her decision to get the pressing tank out first was the right one; otherwise, if they continued to delay like this, things might get messed up.

Cheng Qiqi was busy in the sugar mill every day. After Wen Shi was assigned to the sugar mill, Jin Sanye also went in and started learning how to extract juice!

This pressing guide channel was created by Master Jin through his hard work.

……

The sugar workshop is thriving. Cheng Qiqi uses a three-pot stove to boil sugar that looks and tastes good. People who previously thought Cheng Qiqi was all show and no substance now admire her.

"Are the people of Kyoto really that clever?"

Looking at the freshly made sugar, Song Zhenmei knew Zhao Hei was her uncle. From childhood to adulthood, she had often come to the sugar shop with her uncle. She thought all the sugar was like the sugar shop used to be, of poor quality!

Song Jin-mi, I've never seen such good candy.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Cheng Qiqi smiled. This Song Zhenmei, whose every expression was written all over her face, was quite amusing. She leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "When you marry Leng Yu, I'll definitely give you a big gift."

Song Zhenmei: "..."

Her face turned as red as a boiled shrimp, and she turned and ran away.

Cheng Qiqi watched her departing figure, her eyes lowered. Since entering the sugar shop, everyone had learned about her situation. After learning that she was a widow, Song Zhenmei, who had previously been on friendly terms with her, became hostile again!

The sugar mill is progressing smoothly. On the first day of operation, the sugar produced was of excellent quality, and the villagers, including the Leng family, were filled with anticipation.

Zhao Hei resolved the issue of his sister's sugar shop, and the Jin family, despite being exiled, still possessed considerable abilities. Coupled with the Marquis of Zhongyong's hunting skills, Zhao Hei and the Marquis of Zhongyong were practically becoming sworn brothers!

The Jin family no longer had dull knives and the worst tools; they now had good tools, making it much easier for them to cut down camphor trees.

Chaosheng County, Hongji Embroidery Building.

"Is the handkerchief embroidered?"

Moon Lady recognized Cheng Qiqi at a glance. Only eight days had passed, and she had already finished embroidering?

"right."

Cheng Qiqi handed over the six sets of twelve flower goddess handkerchiefs she had brought, saying, "Moon Lady, you may take a look."

"Let me see."

When Yue Niang heard that she had finished embroidering, she breathed a huge sigh of relief. The delivery date was fast approaching, and if she said she couldn't finish it, she would definitely have to lose money!

Losing money isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is that Miss needs these Twelve Flower Goddess Handkerchiefs. If we really fail to complete them, we won't be able to explain it to the young lady.

The embroidery of the Twelve Flower Goddesses handkerchiefs is not simple, so they are five coins more expensive than ordinary handkerchiefs.

"Huh?"

The Moon Goddess carefully examined these handkerchiefs. The stitches were even, and the colors of the thread transitioned naturally. No matter what kind of flower it was, it was embroidered so lifelike!

"good."

As Yue Niang happily finished inspecting all seventy-two handkerchiefs, she found that they were all of equally good quality. Yue Niang said, "I'll pay you now."

Holding an abacus, Yue Niang said, "Thirteen coins per square meter, seventy-two square meters would cost nine hundred and thirty-six coins."

As she spoke, Yue Niang directly wrote out a slip of paper, stamped it, and said, "You can collect it from the accounting office later. Your embroidery skills are quite good. Are you interested in taking more orders?"

Yue Niang looked at Cheng Qiqi with a smile, already certain that she would accept.

"have."

Cheng Qiqi's eyes lit up. Women of the Jin family are not suited for manual labor. If they could continue to take on embroidery work, that would be great!

"We have... landscape screens, desktop screens. They're not big. If you can make them, we can take on the job."

As Yue Niang explained, Hong Ji Embroidery Shop had a lot of orders. The embroiderers were so busy making mandarin duck quilts and acacia pillowcases that they couldn't keep up with the orders.

Many embroidery pieces have to be outsourced!

But not everything can be outsourced. What if it's not finished on time? What if the embroidery gets dirty? What if…

It was rare to find a family like Cheng Qiqi's with such good embroidery skills, and they even delivered the goods ahead of schedule, so she made the suggestion.

"It takes about twenty days to embroider such a screen, and you can earn eight hundred coins for each one."

When Yue Niang mentioned eight hundred coins, Cheng Qiqi's eyes lit up: "Then can I take four orders?"

All four members of the family are quite good at embroidery, and they can earn eight hundred coins in less than a month, which is not bad!

"Take a look at the design first, see if it's suitable for embroidery."

Moon Lady stepped forward with the pattern, saying, "This batch of goods is all made of top-quality silk. The embroidery absolutely cannot be soiled, so..."

"As long as we can embroider, we definitely won't ruin it, just like those handkerchiefs."

Cheng Qiqi looked closely. Liu Suyi had told her that they could embroider many things. She asked, "If I could do double-sided embroidery, could I earn more?"

"Pfft~"

Before Yue Niang could speak, a mocking voice rang out: "Where did this bumpkin come from? Does he really think double-sided embroidery is something even Tom, Dick, and Harry can do?"
