Ye Sanyong's yard is not big. It is a house with one entrance, a main room, a guest room, and a kitchen. The house is very clean and looks like someone takes care of it regularly.
"Brother Zhen will settle down in the guest room with peace of mind. Later I will ask Aunt Yue Fang next door to come over to clean and cook. She is used to it, so it is very convenient."
Ye Sanyong made this statement after learning that Ye Zhenzhen would not accompany the exam.
Only then did Ye Zhenzhen really feel relieved. After returning to the room, she secretly stuffed ten taels of silver into Brother Zhen, "Brother Zhen, take this silver. When the time comes, you can take care of Aunt Yue Fang and let you make something delicious."
.”
Cui Weizhen only took two taels and pushed back the others, "There's no need for so many, two taels is enough."
"A poor family has a rich life. If you live outside, it will be more convenient if you have money."
Ye Zhenzhen pushed the money back again, "If you have any leftover, you can just buy better rice paper and ink sticks, and buy some books you like. We are not short of money now, so there is no need to save."
In her previous life, her family was well off and she spent money generously. Only when she first traveled through time was she extremely poor, so she calculated her money expenses cowardly. Now that she had money, she immediately started spending money lavishly.
Ten taels of silver was not a small amount, and she didn't take it seriously at all.
Cui Weizhen's eyes moved slightly. The woman in front of him could always surprise him. Just when he thought he knew her well, she showed a new side that made people amazed.
For now, there is nothing to criticize in Ye Zhenzhen's temperament, knowledge and how she treats others. On the contrary, it is far beyond his expectations. Such a temperament is not something that a small farmer can cultivate.
Got it.
She always felt that Brother Zhen's gaze was too fiery. Ye Zhenzhen felt a little uncomfortable and coughed awkwardly, "Okay, Brother Zhen, have a good rest. I should go back."
Cui Weizhen went out with her. Ye Sanyong had just returned from Aunt Yue Fang's house next door. He asked her directly, "Uncle, Zhen Zhen is a woman after all. It's not safe to go back alone. Could you please give her a lift later?"
"It's a trivial matter. Let's go back. Brother Zhen, take the exam well and come back as a scholar."
Ye Zhenzhen was reluctant to leave, turning back three times at a step until Brother Zhen could no longer be seen, then she looked away sadly, feeling extremely reluctant to let go.
There are still four days until the next meeting.
"It's only been four days, it passed in the blink of an eye."
Ye Sanyong couldn't see Ye Zhenzhen's clinginess and said sourly, "Brother Zhen is so lucky. None of my good friends have ever been so clingy to me."
Ye Zhenzhen immediately became energetic, "Third uncle, who do you have a crush on? Why don't you marry her?"
"Ha, this, don't talk about this, just children, don't meddle in adults' business."
Ye Sanyong was obviously feeling guilty. He didn't want Ye Zhenzhen to ask further questions, so she had to give up, "My father has accompanied his second uncle to the county town. Third uncle, please go to the city gate and wait for me. I'll go say hello to him.
"
Ye Sanyong didn't want to see his two troublesome brothers, so he immediately agreed.
Ye Zhenzhen went to see Ye Dayong and did not reveal Brother Zhen's residence. She only told him to stay at the inn as expected and not to go out with Ye Shiming. As for the news and questions, there was no need to worry about it.
Ye Zhenzhen still had ten taels left on her body, which she used to buy materials for making powder. These days, she could save up at home to make purple jasmine powder and Luoxia ointment. When Brother Zhen finished his exam, she came to the county town to pick up people, so she could sell them.
In exchange for silver.
Yes, she didn't tell Brother Zhen, so she would give him a surprise when the time came.
With thoughts in her mind, Ye Zhenzhen did not feel that the time was difficult. During the four days, apart from housework, she spent all her time making makeup.
Early in the morning on the 9th, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't wait to take Uncle Er De's ox cart to the county town.
The first stop is Mantingfang.
This time Wang Qi was not in the store. As soon as shopkeeper Li saw her, he came up to her with a smile and said, "Ms. Ye, you are here. My boss has something to do in Fucheng. Before leaving, I specially told the young lady that if you come,
You must treat me well, otherwise he will definitely not be able to spare me when he comes back."
Ye Zhenzhen knew that he was being polite, but she accepted the sentiment and said with a smile, "I have a new supply of powder today. Shopkeeper Li, check it out. There are five boxes each of purple jasmine powder and Luoxia ointment.
"
Shopkeeper Li opened the powder box and checked it. After confirming that it was correct, he said with a smile, "The previous two boxes were bought by the county magistrate's wife, which caused a trend in the circle of ladies. Many ladies have sent them away these days.
The servants have come to inquire and are waiting for you to deliver the goods."
It seems that the market has opened up.
Without Man Tingfang's channels, even if she made powder, she wouldn't be able to sell it, so it would be very cost-effective to give one-third of the profits.
Ye Zhenzhen was in a good mood, "I will make more in the future and deliver the goods to you every fifth day of the month."
"That would be perfect."
Shopkeeper Li asked the waiter to deliver the powder to the house where he had ordered it, and he asked, "Ms. Ye, I have settled a total of one hundred taels of silver for you. Should I give you cash directly or a banknote?"
It is still very inconvenient to carry one hundred taels of silver with you.
"Fifty taels in silver notes, fifty taels in cash."
After all, you still have to use cash to buy crafting materials.
Shopkeeper Li very considerately put the silver in the basket for her. Before the fifty taels of silver were even heated, Ye Zhenzhen spent it all in one breath.
Spices these days are very expensive, and some are priceless on the market. Fifty taels of silver really can't buy much. After all, the cost of purple jasmine powder and Luoxia ointment is still relatively low.
When new products come out, the prices of Purple Jasmine Powder and Luoxia Cream will definitely drop. Fifteen taels of silver is too expensive after all, so setting them at a mid-range price and making them flagship products is a long-term solution.
In addition to buying powder materials, Ye Zhenzhen also bought a lot of fabrics. Autumn is coming soon, and she still has to make new clothes.
Of course, as a food lover, I also buy all kinds of seasonings, so I don’t have to worry about insufficient seasoning when cooking in the future.
Ye Zhenzhen carried a lot of things to Ye Sanyong's house. Later she had to go to the door of the ceremonial room to wait for Brother Zhen to come out. It was inconvenient to bring her things with her, so she had to store them first.
There was a middle-aged woman in the house. When she saw her opening the door and coming in, she was stunned for a moment and then quickly realized, "Miss Ye, right? I was called over by your third uncle to help. Just call me Aunt Yue Fang."
Ye Zhenzhen also guessed it, handed over the greeting gift that she had prepared long ago, and said with a smile, "My brother Zhen has troubled you to take care of me these days. This is the new pastry from Judelou. Aunt Yue Fang, take it and try it."
Give it a try.”
"How does this make."
Aunt Yue Fang waved her hands quickly, "Your third uncle has already paid his wages, and Cui Langjun has also rewarded you a lot these days. How can I take your things again?"
"You can't be polite."
Ye Zhenzhen put the pastry into her hand and did not allow her to refuse, so she carried the things back to the wing.
