I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 78

Sure enough, after Chun Xing went in, Liu Jianyi directly accepted her by relying on the tricks taught by Aunt Xu.

However, Chun Xing used Aunt Xu's tricks, which was naturally not better than Aunt Xu herself.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

The original dislike of Aunt Xu was because of Chun Xing. Although Chun Xing was serving her, Liu Jianyi became more and more disoriented.

And Xu Yuniang slowly opened her eyes, then stood up with bare feet, and quietly walked to the desk where Liu Jianyi was sitting.

She remembered that Liu Jianyi slipped his tongue once after drinking, and said about where the Liu family's sugar recipe was kept.

At that time, Xu Yuniang just listened to it and didn't think about anything else.

Looking at it now, he was very lucky. He still remembered what Liu Jianyi said after drinking.

Xu Yuniang kept looking in the direction where Liu Jianyi was sleeping, then anxiously speeded up, and searched all the bookshelves on both sides, but couldn't find any mechanism.

This made Xu Yuniang couldn't help wondering, could it be that what Liu Jianyi said before drinking was all nonsense?
Just when Xu Yuniang was doubting herself, she touched a wood-carved book, and as soon as she moved it, she saw that the original bookshelf was slowly opened, revealing a square hole behind it.

In the hollow, there is a box.

Xu Yuniang was overjoyed, she quickly reached out to get it, opened it and took a closer look, it turned out to be a recipe for making sugar.

Excitedly, she spread the recipe on the desk, then took a blank sheet of paper, and using the problem Liu Jianyi used last night, quickly copied all the contents of the sugar recipe.

After copying the prescription, Xu Yuniang carefully put the box back, activated the mechanism, and restored the bookshelf.

Then he rolled up the copied prescription and stuffed it into a hollow silver hairpin on his head, then tiptoed back to Liu Jianyi's side and lay down again.

When the next day dawned, Xu Yuniang knelt submissively and begged Liu Jianyi to let her go to Anzhen to send her brother off for the last time.

Seeing her pear blossoms with rain, Liu Jianyi couldn't help but soften his heart, and nodded in agreement with Xu Yuniang's request.

That afternoon, a carriage drove away from the backyard of the Liu Mansion.

However, three days later, a bad news came.

Aunt Xu of Liu's Mansion, because she was eager to see her brother, was on the road all night. The carriage accidentally fell from the cliff, and she was also smashed to pieces.

Hearing the bad news, and seeing that the clothes and jewelry that had been brought back were indeed Aunt Xu's personal belongings, Liu Jianyi was sad for a few days, and then threw them away.

He didn't know that Aunt Xu, who had received the bad news, was already in the backyard of County Magistrate Pan.

Pan Shujie took the sugar-making recipe presented by Xu Yuniang, and finally burst out laughing in a good mood.

Now that he has contacts in the capital, plus the money-making formula in his hand, is there anything more relaxing than this?

However, Aunt Xu and Guanshi Xu must not be seen by others.

Therefore, Pan Shujie tried to make brown sugar according to the recipe, and sure enough, he made brown sugar. After confirming the authenticity of the recipe, he sent his confidants to send Aunt Xu and Guanshi Xu's family away.

In this world, the safest thing is the mouth of a dead man!
Manager Xu and Aunt Xu never imagined that their votes would be their life and death certificates.

As expected, Pan Shujie's transfer order was delivered very quickly. Although it was not the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River as he thought, it was still a hundred times better than Anzhen.

Pan Shujie happily took his master to take office, but he didn't know that when he left, the entire Mingzhou Prefecture and even the counties and towns below began to sell white sugar that was still white.

This sudden blow, because Pan Shujie left Anzhen, naturally he was not hit, and he went to a new place, so he started to prepare for the sugar workshop!
For Liu Jianyi, it can be described as a blow to the head.

"How is it possible? How could the Pei family make such a good candy?"

Liu Jianyi held the white sugar bought by the butler, and shook his hands to pick up the white sugar. There was really no impurities in it, and it was even fairer than Bai Xue!

"What should I do? Young Master!"

Butler Liu was also panicked.

"Selling it at a reduced price, I don't believe it, they must have spent a lot of money on such clean white sugar.

At that time, we will sell brown sugar cheaply, and they will also lower the price accordingly. "

With red eyes, Liu Jianyi yelled at Butler Liu.

"But...but the price of their white sugar is only sixty yuan a catty. If we lower it further, we will sell it at a loss!"

Butler Liu couldn't help but persuade Liu Jianyi.

"How is it possible? With such quality, how could they charge such a low price?"

Liu Jianyi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"I don't care, go...to lower the price, if they sell it for [-] yuan, we...we will sell it for [-] yuan.

I don't believe it, I can't win back customers! "

Steward Liu smiled wryly when he heard what the young master said.

If you do this, then the Liu family will be like drinking poison to quench their thirst. Slowly, sooner or later, the entire Liu family will be dragged down.

But if he didn't do this, he would suddenly lose all his customers, like a sharp sword that directly cut off all the profits of the Liu Mansion, and the Liu Mansion would also suffer heavy losses.

For the young master, it was really a dilemma.

Although the best way is to cut the mess with a sharp knife, give up the brown sugar business, and give it up to others.

In that case, although the Liu family will be hit hard, it can still save a little capital, and it may make a comeback.

In fact, Liu Jianyi understands the truth, but how can he do it rationally?

He couldn't do it, and it also represented the final result of the Liu family's inevitable defeat.

The Liu Mansion went from prosperity to decline in just one month.

And within a month, the Ning family's house and school were finally built!

White walls and green tiles, although the inside is still empty, the room is spacious and bright.

Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San went in and looked around, and their eyes were red when they came out. They can live in such a good house!

Boss Ning was also very envious. Comparing the old house with this new house, there is a huge difference.

I can't help but regret, why didn't I agree to build a new house at the beginning?

"Brother, why don't you build one too! In this way, our brothers will all live around Mother. If Mother needs anything, just come out and call, and we can come over to serve right away!"

Ning's second son said to Ning Youfu in a naive manner.

Boss Ning could only smile wryly at his second brother, but did not speak.

He thought, but how could there be so much silver in his pocket?
