The shopkeeper of Sifangzhai took the recipe given by Ning Changrong to the pastry chef behind him to check, and he was relieved after the other party confirmed that there was no problem.

After the handover, Ning Changrong said again that he had sold the recipe to the county magistrate's steward, but he made it himself and would not sell it out.

The steward of Sifangzhai shook his head with a smile, "I really can't see that you are a farmer." You are so shrewd.The money has been handed over clearly, and the contract has been signed, so what if he minds?
It's really tangled, people still sell this first, and his transaction request came later.

"If you're not in a hurry, Brother Changrong will sit here for a while. I'll let the pastry chef use this as a back kitchen, and I'll let you taste the difference between our pastries and yours."

Ning Changrong knew that the other party was still worried, and 150 taels was not a small amount, so he simply sat down and waited together.

After a while, the pastry chef brought out the pastries.

The craftsmanship is really good, no different from what they made, the shopkeeper of Sifangzhai is relieved now.If the prescription bought for 150 taels can't be used, how can he explain to the owner?
After selling the prescription, Ning Chengrong didn't plan to continue coming out until the new year.I have to prepare for the New Year, and those things at home should be repaired and started to be repaired.

Anyway, it is the first New Year in ancient times, so we still have to pay attention to it.

After going to Fangshi to sell the cakes he brought, Ning Changrong took another pot of oil and brought it home. He didn’t bring a container, and he bought an oil pot for an extra three Wen. He guessed that the amount of oil used during the Chinese New Year must be very Big, the oil at home may not be enough.

I also exchanged all the 150 taels of silver bills for silver and carried them in the back basket. I went home in fear all the way. The silver bills are convenient, but the scene at the end of the dynasty is still stable. Who knows when the silver bills will become useless. Paper?
……

"What!? 150 taels?!" Neither Ning Qingxi nor Wang Xiujuan expected Fang Zi to sell for so much money.In fact, in Ning Qingxi's mind, it would be nice to be able to sell it for 50 taels of silver.

After all, the little steamed cake didn't look too difficult.

But Ning Qingxi didn't know that what made this recipe expensive was not the difficulty, but its uniqueness.Even if this recipe is not difficult, people will not be able to research it for a while.

"Great, now the family has a solid foundation." Otherwise, I always feel empty, as if the family will collapse if something happens to me. Wang Xiujuan is still afraid of the corvee work when she first came here.

If the cow wasn't really too cheap, they would have made a big mistake when they bought it. She would never agree to spend all the money.Now that she has money in her hand, she doesn't panic, so Wang Xiujuan thinks about what it is to buy some more for the house, and repair the house. Before, there was no condition, but now that she has money, she can't wrong herself.

Speaking of corvée, it seems that these people should come back, it's been almost two months.It was originally said to be [-] days of corvee, but the officials would definitely not release the person on time, usually it would take a few days.But now it has been delayed for half a month, and I don't know what's going on, and there is no news of my return.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Wang Xiujuan only talked about it in the morning, and those people who went to serve corvee in the village came back in the afternoon.

Wang Xiujuan's family went to see it, and it was the village head who brought them back. If they were said to be bamboo poles when they went, then they would only be skinny and boned when they came back. Some people were still limping and holding their arms. There was also crying. Just when Wang Xiujuan's family was puzzled, Mrs. Ding pulled her son over with her eyes red. It was obvious that she had just cried.Her son Ning Miao's eye sockets were sunken, and the bones on his face were only covered by a layer of skin, and the invisible parts on his body were probably similar.But compared to other people, at least his limbs are sound, and he came back alive.

Wang Xiujuan's family only knew after listening to Mrs. Ding that five people who went to serve in corvee this time could not come back, and the ones crying in the crowd were the parents and relatives of that family.This time the working hours of the imperial court were relatively short, and the recruited peasants were carrying stones down the mountain day and night, and the people on the mountain kept mining the stones.

This is not a tool for blasting mountains in ancient times, it is all mined by humans.

This is also the reason why they came back later than usual. The mining fortifications were carried out day and night, and the supervisor often whipped them. Many people died, and then they had to make up for all the work that those people did not do. superior.

Wiping her tears, Mrs. Ding said, although his son doesn't seem to be injured, but there are whips all over his back and legs.But at least he managed to save his life.

Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi went back first after listening. This incident was really shocking to them.

"Grandma." Even though those who died had never been with Ning Qingxi, in her memory, she could still find the appearance of those people.

"Xixi, don't be afraid, our family will always be together." Wang Xiujuan saw that something was wrong with Ning Qingxi, and quickly hugged her.

"Grandma, I'm not afraid, our family will definitely be able to live well here, and we still have golden fingers!"

Ning Qingxi suppressed the fear in his heart, and began to think about what kind of weapon to use. This imperial court, which has suffered thousands of knives, is unreliable.Their family can only protect themselves!

Ning Changrong returned home after watching Ning Daniu, and started complaining before sitting down:
"Conscripting corvee was actually a very common thing in ancient times, but there has never been such a large death rate before, at least in the memory of the old people in the village. It’s the loss of an arm or a leg, and the most serious thing is one or two deaths. It’s the first time that it’s as miserable as this time. Fortunately, our family collected all the money at that time.”

Ning Changrong scolded the court while making complaints, and only after he finished speaking did he find that the grandparent and grandson on the opposite side hadn't spoken.Looking up, I found that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the house.

"what happened?"

Wang Xiujuan shook her head, "It's just that I didn't expect these people to live in such a miserable situation. It's hard to accept it at first."

When Wang Xiujuan thought of Mrs. Ding talking to her, she still looked rejoicing, as if her son was so hungry that he didn't have any missing arms or broken legs. It is a great blessing.

The atmosphere in the room between the three was a little heavy for a while, until a voice broke it.

"Is anyone home?"

The three looked at each other, Ning Changrong got up and went out to entertain, and the Ning family was still at the entrance of the village.There are only three of them in the family.

"Yo, is that you?"

The person who came was the shopkeeper Ning Changrong had called back home.

The young peddler grinned: "I would like to order some chilblain ointment this time, do you have any at home?"

Ning Changrong warmly entertained him to sit in the front yard and brought a glass of water over, "Yes, how much do you want, how about it? I didn't coax you, did it sell well?"

The shopkeeper took the water and thanked him again and again.

The salesman's eyes lit up when he heard Ning Changrong talk about the business, "This thing is really easy to sell. Many people can't afford the ointment in the county in winter, so they pooled their money to buy it for me to buy chilblain ointment for my family."

"Is there any more in your house? I'm going to buy fifty bottles this time."

In fact, the chilblain ointment was sold out in the first village the peddler went to, but his other goods were not sold out, so he had to keep going.As soon as the items were sold out, he immediately turned back. He came to Ning Changrong to buy goods without even returning home to cover the money he had just earned. He also planned to take two bottles home for his family to use.

Ning Changrong asked him to try the spot, and his hands didn't itch after a full day of manipulation.

Ning Changrong asked him to sit first, and went to pick up the goods by himself.Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, when Ning Changrong's delivery man went out, the Ning family came back.Except for Li Dafeng, they are probably still chatting with others.

Ning Qingxi looked at Ning Changrong who came in and asked, "Father, who was it?"

"The peddler is the one who sold chilblain ointment to our family. It sold well. He came to get another fifty bottles. This winter, he should be able to sell a lot. You should be able to earn a few taels of chilblain ointment."

Her milk's Fang Zi just earned 150 taels of silver, Ning Qingxi felt as if she was drifting away, and she no longer looked down on these few taels of silver.
