"Mom, are Li Jiading's pastries ready?"

After Mrs. Lai's family settled in Jingzhou, with the help of Ning Changrong's family, their family was finally on their feet, and their pastries also gained a reputation. Lai's pastries are a must-have for dignitaries in the DPRK and China when visiting relatives and friends. They are delicious and well-styled. It’s fresh and I buy it for my children on weekdays.

The business was in short supply, and later on, I rented a small shop to sell ready-made goods.

As for the orders ordered by powerful people, they are usually delivered to their doorsteps, and they will come to urge them when they can't wait.

Mrs. Lai was in the kitchen instructing her daughters-in-law to work. She came out of the kitchen and scolded her youngest son: "Uh-huh-huh-huh, why are you a rusher? Didn't you see that you were busy? Isn't there a sign? The time is written on it!" When the time comes, I will naturally deliver the goods to his door! What's the use of just urging me?!"

Mrs. Lai's youngest son used to do some carpentry work on weekdays, but now he is too busy to take on outside work, packaging cakes at home.

After being scolded by Mrs. Lai, Lai Chunsheng said aggrievedly: "Mom, what does it have to do with me? This is because someone is urging me, so I came to ask you."

Mrs. Lai closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was worried when there was no business, and she was also worried when the business was big. Her temper was not good at first, but now it is getting hotter and hotter. The whole family did not dare to touch her brow.

Although she knew she had gone too far, Mrs. Lai would not admit her mistake.

"So what? If I don't scold you, why should I scold the guests instead?"

Lai Chunsheng pursed his lips, "..." Then let's scold him.

Those guests are all untouchable.

"Mom, we obviously don't have enough manpower. My sister-in-law has to look after the store, and several sisters-in-law have to work in the kitchen. Do you want to recruit people?"

Mrs. Lai immediately refused, "Are you blind from eating too much lard? We have such a precious thing to recruit people. Can people learn it just by looking at it? How can our family do business then? And these recipes are all from Xixi and her Damn it, if someone learns from it, how will you explain it to her?"

Lai Chunsheng scratched his head, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Mother, tell me what to do."

Mrs. Lai glared at her son who just kept his head down and worked, "This family will be broken up without me!"

"You keep an eye on the kitchen while I look for Xixi's milk."

"I know mother."

……

In the Ning family, Ning Changrong has been looking sad since he came back from the morning, and he has been sighing at the dinner table.

He sighed, and Ning Qingxi sighed, and the two of them just agreed, you finish sighing, and I'll start.

Wang Xiujuan looked disgusted and asked: "If anything happens, just say, what are you doing? Are you sincerely causing trouble for others?"

Ning Changrong was helpless: "It's not that I didn't say it, but if I said it, what can you do?"

"Then you'll feel much better if you say it. One cobbler is better than three Zhuge Liangs. Maybe we can give you some ideas. It's better than you just holding it in your heart, right?" Wang Xiujuan said.

Ning Qingxi also asked curiously, "What's the matter, dad?"

Ning Changrong didn't answer but asked: "Then what's the matter with you?"

Ning Qingxi waved his hand, "It's not important to me, let's talk about you first."

Wang Xiujuan said, "It's not important but I sighed all day long. Sighing like this at such a young age makes me look old-fashioned."

He turned to Ning Changrong and said:
"Let's talk about you first. What's wrong with you?"

Ning Changrong explained: "Your Majesty asked me to revise the law."

Wang Xiujuan was surprised after hearing this: "How can you do this? Why was this job assigned to you?" Ning Changrong was also speechless, "I refused, I didn't refuse. If I were asked to amend the economic laws, I could still do it. A few articles have come out, but even I am still familiar with this ancient law, and they asked me to revise it, so why are you trying to create trouble for me?"

When he was managing local government affairs in Taixi County, he didn't have much control over this area.

Ning Qingxi laughed and said, "Maybe His Majesty also thinks you are too idle."

Ning Changrong looked at her heartless look: "Can you still laugh? If you can't finish it, your father will be punished."

Wang Xiujuan said, "I can't? Could it be that I'm trying to scare you? How can His Majesty not know your background? I haven't even passed the imperial examination, so I shouldn't expect you, right?"

Ning Changrong thought so at first, but later seeing Chang Yuan's decisive attitude, he knew he was thinking too much.

Ning Qingxi smiled and said: "Even those who have passed the imperial examination may not be able to formulate this law, and they don't take the law test. My father's talent is too obvious, and your Majesty believes in him too much."

Wang Xiujuan was a little anxious: "How about you think of a way and say you can't do it." Then she turned to Ning Qingxi and said, "How can you kid still laugh? Help your father find a way."

Ning Qingxi spread his hands and said, "I will not amend the law."

Seeing his daughter's relaxed look, Ning Changrong asked, "Do you have any idea?"

Ning Qingxi shook his head, "I can't help it, but there is a high probability that the law will not deviate from the previous dynasty, and will follow the previous dynasty with some minor modifications. You only need to make a few suggestions, and I believe that your majesty will not It’s embarrassing for you.”

Ning Changrong smiled bitterly, "It would be nice if it was that simple. Our thinking is different from that of people at this time. There is a high probability that the suggestions I make will not be recognized." He only has modern laws in his mind, and only ancient laws. It can be said that we are still exploring.

Ning Qingxi shook his head: "Dad, what your Majesty actually wants is your attitude. Although you think it is wise to protect yourself by not taking over things and not doing things outside of your duties, but maybe your Majesty just can't look down on it and insists on giving it to you. Find something to do.”

It was not without gain for her to go to the palace to talk to Fu Anshu.

Ning Qingxi changed her voice and whispered: "However, I can look up the ancient laws and give you a reference."

Ning Changrong then smiled and said: "My daughter is reliable. Okay, there is no need to check too much. Let's just put together a few suggestions and deal with it. Do you really expect me to do it all by myself? You also said that I would be the host. , none of my subordinates sent me one.”

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Wang Xiujuan turned around and asked, "What about you? Why do you sigh all day long?"

"Aren't I adjusting the microscope? It's just difficult to achieve that kind of purity." Ning Qingxi said, supporting his head with both hands.

"Then you take it easy." After Wang Xiujuan said that, she stood up and left.

There was no need to rush this matter. She couldn't help even if she wanted to, so she might as well go do her own thing.

Ning Changrong took Ning Qingxi to the study room, ready to pick a few questions to ask.

After they left, the servants went into the living room to clear away the dishes.

They are not used to being served by others when they are eating at home. Usually, after the food is put away, the servants eat other people's food, they eat their own, and after the food is finished, the servants come in to clean it up.

Most of the allicin made last time was given to the Luo family, and I didn't have much left here. The palace also sent people over, and wanted to take some for emergency use. There was an ice cellar in the palace, so I was not afraid of not being able to preserve it well, so Wang Xiujuan asked. All the remaining ones were given to the palace.

She had to keep some at home, so Wang Xiujuan made several more bottles one after another, but many people came to buy them through her connections.

Although she repeatedly said that this thing had a shelf life and would break if it was not used up, people still didn't care and bought it with a lot of money.

So much so that there is always a place in Ning's house that smells like garlic. If the house wasn't so big, the whole house would be covered in garlic smell.
