16. Chapter 16

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she refused directly: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I've been busy all day today and haven't tidied up the room when I got up in the morning. Your granddaughter is guarding both sides, so why don't you take her back to your own home? If you call me something, you can be heard here." See you." I couldn't help complaining, this woman is really sick.

Sister-in-law Lu listened and added: "After all, it was your wedding night yesterday, right? You must be tired this morning, so you didn't tidy up the room."

Yang Haiyan immediately understood what Sister-in-law Lu meant, and she cooperated shyly: "Sister-in-law..."

Seeing Yang Haiyan say this, Zhang's mother could only say: "Then I will take her to my home." She finally understood that Qin Fang's family had their wedding yesterday, and the room has not been cleaned today. However, Zhang's mother rolled her eyes and said, "I'm from Qin Fang's house. My granddaughter hasn't had enough to eat yet. She went back to take care of my little grandson. Let her use these snacks as food." As she said that, she put Bring cake plates, cookie plates and soybean cake plates directly.

Yang Haiyan: "... done."

Lu Dawei, the eldest son of sister-in-law Lu, said: "Mom, this snack made by aunt is delicious." It means that if it is taken away, they will have nothing to eat.

Yang Haiyan smiled and said: "Auntie still has some left, I will give them to you later."

Lu Dawei was happy when he heard this: "Really?"

Sister-in-law Lu was helpless: "Haiyan, don't listen to this child."

Yang Haiyan: "Sister-in-law is fine. Since I agreed, of course I won't lie to Dawei."

Lu Dawei grinned: "Thank you, Auntie."

Because the female guests don’t drink, they eat relatively quickly. Because Yang Haiyan pays attention to keeping healthy, she usually eats less at night. Now seeing how Zhang Mu eats, she eats even less. She didn't even touch the dishes that Zhang's mother had eaten, but Zhang's mother had eaten meat dishes, so she moved a few chopsticks to the vegetarian dishes.

As soon as they finished eating, Mother Zhang said, "I'm a little worried about my grandson. He belongs to Qin Fang's family. I'm going back first. Call me when you need to clean up later." She said this nicely, but she actually didn't come over. Plan to clean up.

Yang Haiyan was not worried that she would come to take care of it, so she said politely: "No, Aunt, you can go take care of the children. There are enough people to take care of them."

The male guests were still going on, so Yang Haiyan, Yang Dahua and Sister-in-law Lu took care of the female guests first, and then washed the dishes with warm water. While washing the dishes, the three women were chatting. Talk about interesting things in the family room and interesting things in the town.

After they have washed the dishes and the male guests have finished eating, everyone has to leave. Several male guests came out of the room. Today was the best meal many of them had had since joining the army. And I can still drink wine, which is quite happy.

Ao Qianfu: "Qin Fang's family, thank you for the hospitality today. I'll have to work hard for you next. We have to leave."

Yang Haiyan stood up and said, "Guys, please wait a moment." Then she went into the house and took out a small red bag: "These are some snacks. Don't be polite, everyone. I will also congratulate your family."

Zao Qianfu: "I still want to take this after I eat it, but I'm too proud of it."

Yang Baifu: "That's right, you can keep it for yourself." He was really sorry.

Lu Baifu: "Yes, I'm from Qin Fang's family, you don't have to be so polite."

The other centurions also echoed.

Yang Haiyan didn't say anything and asked Qin Fang to bring these little red bags to them. The generals were basically rough people and not very polite. Besides, they all had a good relationship with Qin Fang. In the end, everyone was so kind that they couldn't refuse, so they accepted the little red bag and said goodbye. But they also envied Qin Fang even more. They all felt that Qin Fang had a good life. Not only was his wife beautiful, but he was also virtuous and capable.

After everyone left, only Qin Fang's family, Han Zhen's family, and Lu Zhide's family were left in the yard.

So the three centurions also helped clean up, took out the dishes and chopsticks, and asked Yang Haiyan, Yang Dahua and Sister-in-law Lu to wash them in the yard. Originally, there were only a dozen bowls per table, and the three women could wash them quickly.

After washing, Han Zhen's family said goodbye first. They didn't live as close to Sister-in-law Lu's house. Before leaving, Yang Haiyan also gave Yang Dahua a small red bag.

Han Zhen carried the basket, Yang Dahua held his hand, and the couple walked under the moonlight.

Yang Dahua praised: "Haiyan is really amazing. She was outstanding when she was in the capital, and now she is even better here. Not only are the meals and snacks delicious, but she also has a good heart."

Han Zhen said with a smile: "You are also very good. I followed her to learn beauty and cooking. I can marry you, but with the blessings I have cultivated in three lifetimes, I will be satisfied in this life." Although his wife is ordinary-looking, He was virtuous and gentle, and he was very satisfied. People can't ask for too much, only simplicity will bring happiness.

After hearing this, Yang Dahua smiled sweetly: "Being able to marry you is also a blessing that I have cultivated in three lifetimes." Before, I never dared to think about it, not even in my dreams.

The Qin family and Sister-in-law Lu's family also left with baskets. Lu Dawei and Lu Xiaowei each held a small red bag. The two brothers were very happy.

the next day

Although they had a busy day yesterday, the couple did not stay up late the next day. According to modern living habits, even if she had a busy day yesterday, she still went to bed early, so Yang Haiyan still woke up early today.

After the couple exercised, they ate. Breakfast is sweet potato and brown rice porridge with a boiled egg per person, which contains whole grains and protein. After eating, the couple went to Yongji. Today was the 21st and they had to hand over soap. As for the pig intestines, they bought them yesterday, so Yang Haiyan told the boss not to give them away today. She didn’t plan to let Qin Fang know about the platform. .

As soon as the couple went out, they met Zhang's mother and her children playing outside the yard. Seeing the couple going out, Zhang's mother said hello enthusiastically: "Are you going out?"

Yang Haiyan smiled: "Yes, Auntie."

When Mother Zhang heard this, her eyes flashed: "Are you going to buy vegetables? It's not convenient for me to go to the market with my child. Can you bring me some vegetables?"

Yang Haiyan: "Auntie, I'm sorry. We held a wedding reception yesterday and it exceeded the monthly stipulated expenditure, so I plan to eat sweet potatoes today instead of buying groceries."

Mother Zhang: "..." She didn't believe what the Qin Fang family said.

Walking out of the family home, Qin Fang suddenly took Yang Haiyan's hand: "I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to make you live a better life and eat what you want every day. But if you wait for me, I will definitely work hard to earn credit and get promoted. , make you live better.”

Yang Haiyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Are you thinking about what I just said?"

Qin Fang: "Yeah."

Yang Haiyan smiled and patted his hand: "Don't think too much, everything I said was a lie to her. I think Aunt Zhang... is different from normal people. She prefers to take advantage..." Then she said what she had said before One time, Zhang's mother came to beg for something, and she also told her what Sister-in-law Lu had told her, "That's why I said that."

Qin Fang finally understood. But thinking about it carefully, Zhang Baifu seems to be such a person. Zhang Baifu had asked him to buy food from the barracks kitchen several times before, spending a total of fifteen cents, but he still hasn't given it to him yet.

Qin Fang just thought about it but did not tell Yang Haiyan about it. He felt that Zhang Baifu was a man after all and needed to save face, and this happened before he got married.

…

The shopkeeper had done business with Yang Haiyan three times. Because the background investigation on Yang Haiyan was clear, and in the past twenty days, the soap market had become known, so the shopkeeper mentioned the matter to Yang Haiyan.

Shopkeeper: "Qin Baifu, Mrs. Qin, do you plan to sell the secret recipe of this soap?" When he asked, his eyes were still looking at Qin Fang. Because men are superior to women, he naturally thought that Qin Fang was in charge of the Qin family.

When Qin Fang heard this, he looked at Yang Haiyan. This was his wife's dowry. Naturally, he would not make up his mind.

Yang Haiyan had the idea of ​​​​selling her son, otherwise it would be a lot of trouble for herself every ten days, why not just take the money and take it easy? Moreover, because she had read the novel, she knew that the conduct of Yonghehou's family, including the imperial concubine, was good, so Yang Haiyan was relieved to sell the prescription to them. But the question is: "How much does the shopkeeper think of buying this recipe?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, not expecting that it was Yang Haiyan who spoke. However, he looked at Qin Fang again.

Qin Fang understood what he meant: "My wife is the one who makes the decision in my family." He didn't feel embarrassed at all when he said such strict henpeck words.

However, the shopkeeper may not believe it. He and Yang Haiyan have met each other, and they know that Mrs. Qin is smart. They also know from Mrs. Shizi that Mrs. Qin turns out to be the eldest maid next to the legitimate daughter of the Yang family. You must know that the Yang family But for a first-class aristocratic family, the maid next to the legitimate daughter of that aristocratic family can be as prestigious as a seventh-rank county magistrate's family, just like a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

Therefore, the shopkeeper felt that Qin Baifu deliberately left this matter to Mrs. Qin.

Shopkeeper: "Qin Baifu, Mrs. Qin, what do you think of this number?" The shopkeeper stretched out a finger.

Yang Haiyan naturally understood what he meant, which meant one thousand taels. According to the current situation, if she delivers 300 bars of soap every month, she can earn 60 to 70 taels a year. Therefore, as long as the shopkeeper has some conscience, he will not offer a price of 100 taels, so naturally it will be a thousand taels.

However, this is not the price Yang Haiyan has in mind.

Yang Haiyan said: "Actually, there are two things about this soap that I haven't told the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper: "Mrs. Qin, please speak." The shopkeeper thought that the one thousand taels was reasonable, but to his surprise, Yang Haiyan did not agree immediately. Of course, he also knew that with Yang Haiyan's knowledge, he would not be scared by a thousand taels.

Yang Haiyan: "Shopkeeper, to be honest, if you have enough materials, it is not a problem to make a thousand soaps a day, and the cost of each soap is only one penny. May I ask, shopkeeper, how much do you think this recipe is worth?"

Shopkeeper: "What?" He suspected that his ears heard it wrong. The cost of a piece of soap is only one penny? Then...this profit is unimaginable, is it too high?
