Zhao Lizi is a very smart person. Sometimes Changqing has to sigh that it is natural to be smart or not. She was not smart enough in her previous life. She just learned to stick to her own opinions and live hard in this life. At least she lived for more than twenty years, which is normal to be stronger than ordinary people, but Zhao Lizi is different. Zhao Lizi is really smart and keen.

Zhao Lizi helped the Zheng family find another house. The second-center house is not big, but it is enough for the Zheng family to live in. Not far from where the Zheng family lived before, there are all kinds of living facilities around, and even the furniture in the house is ready. Zhao Lizi said, "I bought it from a pawn shop. It is cheaper than buying all new ones. Ordinary old elm wood. This house is not big, and it is bigger than the serious second-center house. In fact, it was originally necessary to build a three-center house. Later, the family was short of money and never built the back room, leaving this open space. A few peach, apricot and plum trees were planted, so it will save you from buying fruits in the future. It will bloom in spring and look good, and there will be this vegetable field. The owner of the front house took away the vegetables and planted them next year. It is convenient to eat vegetables and vegetables by yourself, and you don’t waste any place. The water in this well is delicious. This alley is called Tianjing Hutong. Because of the good water, several families make tofu, and people often call it Tofu Hutong. Most of the people live in this area are from the Lin clan, which is considered a scholar. Although there are no high-ranking officials and officials, most of the children are studying. The son of Mrs. Lin’s former neighbor, became a scholar last year and is now studying in the palace. The marriage is the daughter of Qing’s sister and second uncle’s family. I have bought some pots and pans. I don’t think of the best goods. It’s just ordinary household items, which are expensive and affordable. The rent in this yard has been negotiated, one or two or three cents a month. Do you think it’s appropriate?”

Mrs. Zheng didn't know what to say and asked, "It's much cheaper than the yard we rented before. It won't be a loss, right?"

Zhao Lizi smiled, "Mr. Zheng is traveling in the border town, so it is inevitable that people will be bullied when renting a house. This house was introduced by an acquaintance, and his house said it was three yards and one row of houses behind it. It is not suitable to say it was two yards, so the price is cheaper. I decided to settle for this house because my family was not very crowded."

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly asked, "I want to buy a lot of money for my family. Don't be polite to me. This house is very good. You ran around for us. Thank you very much. How can you ask you to pay for it?"

Zhao Lizi didn't politely either. She smiled and said, "The furniture in the house is old, totaling three or eight cents of silver, pots and pans are not much, and five cents of silver are enough. The bedding, pillows and tents are made by the sister Qing, who asked her to make it. Because it was urgent, the needlework and thread were thicker, and it was good for the affordable. She used ordinary cotton materials from her warehouse. If you really have to pay, you used a total of ten pieces of material. I asked her and collected two taels of silver. You gave me a total of six or three cents of silver. As for rent, the owner came today. He came later and sent someone to go to the Yashang to establish a rental contract."

Old Mrs. Zheng smiled, "How old are you? You are so smart."

Zhao Lizi smiled, "I'm not to hide it from the old lady, I'm used to running around outside. I can't do big things, and these trivial things are fine. Besides, I admire such a good official as Master Zheng, and it's my honor to be able to run errands. I hope that Master Zheng will talk more to us ordinary people. If there are fewer corrupt officials, our lives will be easier."

Zhao Lizi is just half-year-old. He can speak well and coax the old lady Zheng and Mrs. Zheng happily. Mrs. Zheng softly rescued some of them and gave the money to Zhao Lizi, saying, "If you have time, you will give the money to Miss Zhao, so you will wait for my house to be properly placed, and then go and find Mrs. Zhao to talk to Mrs. Zhao."

Zhao Lizi responded with a smile, accepted the money respectfully, and said goodbye.

Seeing such a complete house, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Zheng family felt that their daughter had a good friend. There were many people who could help the Zheng family, but the friendship between gentlemen was as calm as water. The Zheng family did not want to accept too many favors, especially in terms of money. Master Zheng was a clean official, so he should pay special attention.

Zhao Lizi went back and told Ling about the matter and gave Ling two taels of silver. Ling laughed, "Mrs. Zheng is so polite."

Zhao Lizi smiled, "Mr. Zheng is honest. First of all, let's ask Mrs. Zheng to come over to recuperate. The so-called urgent assistance of friends is this. Now Mrs. Zheng is well, and she doesn't want to accept the gift for nothing. Aunt, just keep it. Master Zheng has such a temper."

Ling then stopped and asked Lizi, "You are setting up stalls outside every day, and the weather is getting colder. Should you rent a shop and be warmer?"

Zhao Lizi smiled, "I have to discuss this with my husband and sister Qing. It's not appropriate for me to make an idea by myself."

Ling said, "Now your uncle's official position has also been promoted, let alone you are a mature bun shop. Let's discuss it. If the money is short, I still have some here." The secret recipe is there and the people are there. Zhao Lizi is indeed a clever person and a good businessman. Ling is hoping that he can reopen the shop.

Zhao Lizi smiled and said that Ling was a kind person, but he still had to work with Mr. Zhao Changqing and Mr. Su when doing business.

Zhao Changqing was not worried about whether to open a bun shop. Anyway, Zhao Lizi had a better vision than her. When will it be suitable for reopening? Zhao Lizi knew it. Before the Double Ninth Festival, Zhao Changqing invited Zhao Lizi to dinner, and she cooked herself.

Zhao Lizi kept asking Mr. Su, "Sister Qing is telling me something or what? I'm so uneasy."

Mr. Su laughed, "What's the upset?"

Zhao Lizi squeezed at Mr. Su, "I'm afraid that my sister will be polite first and then fight."

Mr. Su smiled, "If you are so greasy, you will become fried dough sticks."

"Now, you have to be slick in small business. When you get rich and become a big shopkeeper, you have to hold up the racks you should hold." Zhao Lizi smiled and saw Mr. Su sewing clothes. Zhao Lizi said, "Don't make these embroidered patterns in the future. I sell buns outside every day, so I don't have to be so particular."

Mr. Su raised his eyebrows, "I said this is for you?"

Zhao Lizi was serious, "If you don't give it to me, would you give it to my brother Abai? He doesn't make a profit now, so how can he wear such good clothes? A poor scholar, even if the teacher is the one who gives it to Abai, as my brother, I can't give Abai the opportunity to develop extravagance and desire! It's better to wear it first. I'll give it to my brother Abai before I put it in the old way, and he will understand the principle of hardship and simplicity!"

Su Bai was angry, "I can understand if I don't wear old clothes!"

Zhao Lizi pretended to say to him, "Senior brother is talking, you dare to interrupt! Where have you learned the rules? It's not so good! Let's go sell buns with your senior brother tomorrow, I'll give you pocket money."

Seeing Zhao Lizi's old fried dough stick, Su Bai was speechless. It would be fine if he was often bullied by his mother. Now even Lizi wants to bully him with a good temper. Su Bai said, "You think you are a senior brother, respecting the elderly and loving the young is rare. It is hard to understand that you have to be courteous in everything."

Zhao Lizi said, "Does Kong Rong let Li know?" He waved his hand, "I can't spoil you little guys anymore."

Mr. Su bit off the thread and greeted, "Pear fruit, come here and try it."

Needless to say, Zhao Lizi and Su Bai's expression was all-round, and Li Guo looked at Li Guo slowly asked Mr. Su, "Sir, won't you be blamed, right?"

Mr. Su said with mighty words, "Who dares to blame you, I will expose their skin."

Li Guo went in with confidence and changed into new clothes.

Pear fruit has a calm and steady temperament born with it. For example, when Zhao Changqing brought his maid to serve the dishes, Zhao Lizi and Su Bai were both spiritually praising Pear fruit from various angles. Su Bai said, "You are so suitable for you to wear this dress, you can see it's made for you."

Zhao Lizi said, "It's true that he is my Zhao Lizi's younger brother. Look at this outfit, this appearance and character, only the clothes that Mr. Su sews are worthy of. OK! Wear it well! Every stitch and thread in this dress is sewn with the gentleman's deep love for you!"

Zhao Changqing trembled with this, saying, "Don't make fun of pear fruits. One by one, it's no good if you get together."

Li Guo smiled, "Sir, made me new clothes."

Zhao Changqing nodded, "It looks good. You will be the examiner next year and you can't wear it casually in the future. I have already made a purse there and I will take it for you later. Remember to wear it."

Lizi almost cried and pulled Zhao Changning to ask, "I am not as good as Liguo, but I am not as good as Liguo. I am a seven-foot man here, so why do you turn a blind eye to me?"

Everyone laughed for a while, and Zhao Changqing ordered the maid to put on a large plate of fried sparrows, and then a few side dishes were served. Zhao Changning asked, "Sister, why can't I finish so much food for so long?"

Zhao Changqing said, "It was originally a gift for pears, you guys are there."

Li Zi suddenly felt a light on her face and said, "My sister is still remembering me. Next time, my brother will buy you candy and flowers." He asked, "Did you buy sparrows on the street?"

Zhao Changning said, "No, my sister shot in the morning." Speaking of Zhao Changqing's martial arts, Zhao Changning was so envious that she could not drool. Zhao Changqing made a handful of locust stones and shot sparrows every day, so that the sparrows didn't dare to pass the roof of his house.

Li Zi also knows some fists and praises, "Sister Qing now has this skill in shooting." He thought it was Zhao Changqing who shot with an arrow.

"I mean little." Zhao Changqing did not explain much and laughed, "You try today's dishes."

Zhao Changqing's craftsmanship has been very good. Zhao Lizi said it was good as soon as she ate it. He was smart and of course he understood that Zhao Changqing didn't treat him to dinner in vain. He ate a fried sparrow first, which was crispy and full of mouth. Zhao Lizi said, "Is it marinated with our ingredients? The sister made it very delicious, and this is also good."

Zhao Changqing handed him a glass of water, "Wash your mouth and try the vegetarian dishes."

Zhao Lizida had no knowledge of it. He could still tell the difference between good and bad when trying a dish, and said, "But add chicken soup?" Although his family is not wealthy, he used to make braised meat. Some broths were stir-fried with broth, and the dishes were very delicious.

Zhao Changqing said, "This kind of tenderest small vegetable must be taken out as soon as it passes into the pot. It cannot be added to water. If the soup is added, it will become a cooking dish and it will not be crispy."

"Which chicken oil is used?"

Zhao Changqing shook his head and heard Zhao Changning say, "No matter what he puts, it's delicious anyway. It's a freshly made of seasoning powder by my sister, and it's used in the kitchen now."

Zhao Lizi was very interested, "What kind of new seasoning powder can be squeezed into powder?"

Zhao Changqing was named Su Bai, Zhao Changning, Pear Fruit, Zhao Changyu ate it. She and Mr. Su and Pears went to the inner room to talk, and said, "Our seasoning recipe was good, but we had to soak it in water and use the soaked seasoning water to mix it with the filling. It was inconvenient. My husband and I thought about it for a long time, and then we thought about weighing a few seasonings according to the portion, grind it into fine powder, and mix it in one place, so that pickling things are cheaper. As for the seasoning powder used for stir-frying, it was thought of by chance. Many dishes were added with a little chicken soup, but many dishes were quickly fried and were not suitable for soup and soup. This is another ingredient. When the stir-frying is cooked, it is used to enhance the flavor."

Zhao Changqing took out two black porcelain jars from the lower layer of the food box and handed them to Zhao Lizi, "Look at it."

Both cans were fine powder, and there was no way to tell what it was. The taste was very different. The one that tasted was the recipe for buns they used to be prepared, and the other one that was extremely fresh should be made by Zhao Changqing. Zhao Lizi said, "If you make buns in the future, it will be much more convenient. I just use these to season them."

Zhao Changqing said, "You try this first to see how the buns sell? If the buns are still doing well, we will not sell buns in the future."

"What are you selling?" Zhao Lizi's mind flashed and she immediately said, "Sister, do you mean to sell this kind of seasoning powder in the future?"

"Yes." Zhao Changqing said, "Since our buns make the Zhu family's bun shop jealous, it can be seen that the ingredients are good. I think it's not just the Zhu family jealous, but many people jealous. Then we will sell this ingredients. There are too many food shops in the city, and not to mention that our ingredients are not only used in the stuffing of buns, but also can be used in the braised meat, fish, stir-fry, meat, soup and noodles."

Zhao Lizi's heart was pounding when she heard this and said, "This, if you say so, you can squeeze the Zhu family's bun shop!"

Zhao Changqing said, "It's not done yet. You need to have a bigger backer to keep our recipe and the business will last for a long time."

Zhao Lizi asked, "Who are you looking for in my sister?"

Zhao Changqing said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Since we want to do a long-term business, we must find a reliable talent."

Zhao Lizi had no idea, and said, "Sister gives me these two cans of seasoning powder first, I'll try it first. If people still taste the right taste, let's find a suitable mountain."

After the three of them discussed the matter, Lizi wanted to go out and eat a few fried sparrows, but when they saw that the basins and bowls were cleaned up, Zhao Lizi said angrily, "Do you still have me in your eyes? Ah! Ah!" A squirted at the head and left with the seasoning jar. These guys who don't know how to consider their brothers!

The Zhao family has limited family background, and I really don’t know any high-ranking officials and nobles. The most prominent family I know is the Zhu family.

However, Zhao Changqing was not very happy to do this business with the Zhu family. This sounded a bit big, but Zhao Changqing was not happy. Do you know that Zhu Jiale was not happy? In fact, it cannot be said that. Nowadays, merchants have a low status and want to do business with peace and stability, but it is impossible to do without a backer. Therefore, most merchants will choose to give their shares to find a backer and seek protection. This is also the old rule. The Zhu family is quite good at speaking in the border town, and there are also many merchants who have a good relationship with the Zhu family and just seek protection from the Zhu family.

Zhao Changqing did not want to cooperate with the Zhu family because he knew the nature of Zhu Mingtang and Yuan. Feng Jian could plot against Xiao Lihua in the first place to seize the secret material formula of her shop. At that time, Zhao Changqing and the old lady Zhao went to the Zhu family to pay their respects, and Yuan even scolded Feng Jian a few words. However, last time Zhao Changqing went to the Zhu family to pay respects, he saw that Feng Jian and Yuan's housekeeper were talking and laughing, and they were quite close. Yuan's family was rich, of course, no one in the world was rich, but when it was so good that he would interact with villains like Feng Jian, his character was not reliable.

But, except for the Zhu family, who else can join forces?

Zhao Changqing does have a good candidate in his heart, but he just doesn't know if he wants it or not, or ask Zheng Jia for some time when Zheng Jia comes back.

Before Zheng Jia could come back, Li Rui's shopkeeper came to the door.

Zhao Changqing did not recognize Manager Li, and only realized that she was talking in Ling's house.

Manager Li brought a generous gift and said politely, "The villain's news is blocked. Now I know that the master of the mansion saved my boss and received a letter from the boss. The villain came to thank him."

Ling was a little confused and said, "My master hasn't saved Mr. Li?"

Manager Li hurriedly said, "Mrs. I don't know that the business in the villain's shop was jointly run by Songxianjun and my brother. Songxianjun is the major shareholder, so he is naturally the villain's boss."

"Mr. Song County? Is it Miss Song?" Ling asked.

"Yes." Manager Li and Youyou were glad, "Song County Jun suffered a great disaster, which was also considered to be a contribution to the country. After returning to the imperial capital, his Majesty was given the title of noble lady. He was the father of Song County Jun, the Minister of Song, and was named a viscount for his contribution to the rescue of the emperor."

When Ling heard this, he understood and said, "Amitabha, this is a good person who will be rewarded." If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. What you mean is the Song family. Of course, the Song family is good, and her family is good.

Manager Li said, "Yes, Zhao Baihu saved Songxianjun. Songxianjun was quite grateful. He was in the border town that day, so he had nothing to give him. Later, Songxianjun wrote a letter to me and told me to prepare generous gifts to thank you. Don't refuse, this is all the wishes of Songxianjun."

Ling said politely, "What's the point of thanking for this? It's the responsibility of my master."

Manager Li smiled, "Mr. Yu Baihu is his duty, and Lord Yu Song County is a life-saving grace. It is also the fate of our two families. First, my brother took me to the border town to do business, and Miss Zhao helped me introduce the shopkeeper in your shop. Later, the business gradually started. Now I am going back to the imperial capital, so I came here to invite you to have a peace."

Ling was slightly surprised, "Your business is very good, why did you suddenly want to return to the imperial capital?"

Manager Li said, "Now the border town and the Western Man do not allow the business. I don't know what will happen in the future. My clan brother wrote to me to go back to the imperial capital to do theories. It is useless to keep the shop, so it will be closed. I also want to ask, I heard about Miss Zhao's bun shop dim sum shop, but I didn't know very well. I heard that it was too late and I couldn't help. Now my shop is in good condition. I am preparing to sell it. If Miss Zhao wants to reorganize the business, I will give you a low price. It is also a friendship between our two families. Our transactions with Ximan are very affected. Miss Zhao's bun shop is often eaten by people. If it is done well, the profit will be great."

Zhao Changqing has never been so smooth. When she was really sleepy, someone gave her a pillow. She smiled slightly, "It happened that Manager Li came over. Actually, I had an idea in my mind, I wonder if it was right? If Manager Li was cheap, what if we say a few words alone?"

Storekeeper Li said that the girl in the border town was brave and asked to talk to him alone, a big man.

Well, he has nothing to do with it. A girl like this flower has to talk to him alone and talk for a while.

Manager Li was invited to Mr. Su's yard by Zhao Changqing. Mr. Su was teaching Li Guo to study. The child Li Guo had always been attentive, so he glanced at Manager Li, but ignored him and continued to read his own books. Zhao Changqing invited Manager Li to have tea in the small hall and introduced Manager Li's identity to Mr. Su.

When Manager Li heard that Mr. Su was Zhao Changqing's female husband, he quickly gave a polite gift. Zhao Changqing said bluntly, "Shop Li has heard of my bun shop, and I think he knows the reason."

Manager Li sighed, "It's like this. Let's go on business. I'm going to be a secret. Although Manager Zhao is a woman, I admire his skills. But this misfortune is inevitable that people will sigh." Manager Li is not so rigid. He has heard of Xiao Li Huaer's ability. Such a capable woman will force her to be desperate. It's really not a mistake for Xiao Li Huaer.
