The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"What are you selling at the market?"

“Buy a cow skeleton.”

Shi Hongshang was puzzled: "Aren't we going to have a housewarming party soon? What are you buying vegetables for? Besides, are you going to set up a new kitchen in the prefectural governor's mansion?"

Cheng Feng said, "I'm not going to cook. I'm going to open a noodle shop in the next few days, and I need to boil some butter to make the base."

Shi Hongshang said: "You are such a big boss, you live in the prefectural government, and you have a mine in the south city, but you have to do the job of boiling the base ingredients yourself."

Cheng Feng said: "The magic of this noodle lies in the base material. Except for the five sisters-in-law, this material has never been passed on to others."

"It's just a bowl of noodles, and you came up with a recipe."

Cheng Feng said: "Don't underestimate my noodle shop. We must have as many customers as your teahouse."

Shi Hongshang said, "Even if you sell 200 bowls a day, how much money can you make? I don't think you need to open a noodle shop. You might as well rent out this shop. It's better to collect some rent than to open a noodle shop. No matter how delicious your noodles are, it's just a bowl of noodles."

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "My family's first serious business is a noodle shop. No matter how little profit there is, we have to do it. I will never let my family's noodles be lost."

Shi Hongshang said: "Didn't you just say that you have a fifth brother and a fifth sister-in-law who are also good at what you do?"

Cheng Feng said, "Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law? They used to help me run the noodle shop in Nancheng, and now I have invited them to help me open a noodle shop in Mochun County."

"Cheng Feng, are you serious? You've opened a noodle shop in Mochun County. The poor people there can't even get water to drink."

Cheng Feng said: "It takes some effort to drink water, but there are quite a few people there now. Once my uncle repairs the water conservancy there, it will be a good place to go in the future."

Shi Hongshang asked: "How do we repair this water conservancy project?"

Cheng Feng said: "I don't quite understand. What my uncle means is to repair the entire water area of ​​Fengying."

Shi Hongshang said: "That would be a big project."

Cheng Feng said: "It's a huge project. If an ordinary person were to repair it, it would probably take ten to eight years, and it might not even be completed."

"How long will it take, sir?"

Cheng Feng said: "I heard that it can be completed in three to five years, it can't be faster."

Shi Hongshang said: "Great, great, I heard that the Marquis paid for it out of his own pocket."

Cheng Feng said, "That's true. You should have heard that my uncle has cancelled the labor service here. These people are paid copper coins for work. The price has increased from three copper coins to five. After working for a year, those who have served in the military will be paid two taels of silver, and ordinary people will be paid one tael. Many people are coming to work here, and many of them are from other places."

Shi Hongshang said: "Then the labor cost would be a lot of money per day."

Cheng Feng said, "That's right. If my uncle is happy someday, I will give them a raise."

Shi Hongshang said: "The Marquis is really rich."

Cheng Feng coughed lightly: "My uncle is an honest official."

Shi Hongshang said, "Yes, yes, yes. Your Majesty is incorruptible. If he were not an honest official, he would not have built water conservancy projects for the people of Fengying. The Wan family has been a large merchant family since ancient times. No one dares to underestimate them. Not to mention building water conservancy projects for Fengying County, they can even build water conservancy projects for the entire Dalang Kingdom."

Cheng Feng said: "Not that rich."

Shi Hongshang hugged Cheng Feng and said, "Why are you being so modest? Let's go to the market. I'll go with you to sell the cow skeleton. When we've settled down here, you can take me to Mochun County to have some fun."

"Let's go. Mochun County is not far from here. Let's go there after we're done with this."

The two men went straight to the butcher shop, then turned around and went to several spice shops. After scraping together some stuff, they finally managed to buy everything they wanted.

Cheng Feng doesn’t need anyone’s help either. He just makes the fire and boils the oil to make the base sauce.

Shi Hongshang could not stand this environment for a moment, and ran to his own teahouse to supervise the work. The workers lent to him by Cheng Feng were carving dragons and phoenixes in their teahouse. The work was done very meticulously. If Shi Hongshang had not paid a lot of money, they would not have taken on such a demanding and detailed job as it was too time-consuming.

Cheng Feng worked until noon. When he followed Shi Hongshang to the new home of Boss Qian and Wan Baiqian, everyone who was supposed to go had already arrived. Cheng Feng saw his son Cheng Youning when he entered the yard. Cheng Youning was dressed very decently, but the color of his clothes was a bit bright. In Cheng Feng's impression, Cheng Youning rarely wore such fancy clothes. When he woke up in the morning, he saw that his son didn't seem to be wearing this kind of clothes. "Son, you are wearing bright clothes today."

He was standing in the yard making a candy man with Qiao Rong. When he heard Cheng Feng talking to him, he chuckled and took the candy man out of his mouth, "Daddy, does my outfit look good?"

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "It does look good, but Daddy has never seen you dressed so fancy. You look almost like a peacock."

Cheng Youning's lips pursed, "I knew that Hei Bajiao had bad taste. I shouldn't have listened to her today."

Cheng Feng asked: "Did she give this to you?"

Cheng Youning stuck out his tongue and licked the candy man in his hand vigorously, then said faintly, "Who else could it be except her? It was her who did it. I was dressed well this morning, and when she heard that I was coming to my aunt and uncle's house for a housewarming party, she insisted on suggesting that I wear this dress, saying that this dress is festive and can bring joy to my aunt and uncle's house. Next time I won't believe her."

Cheng Feng squatted on the ground and touched Cheng Youning's chest and back, and said with a smile: "It looks good. You, a child, can wear it like this. We adults dare not go out wearing it like this."

Cheng Youning took out the candy man he had just put into his mouth, and asked, "Daddy, am I that ugly?"

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "The clothes are not ugly, and the person is not ugly either, but the colors are a bit bright, all red, green, purple, and blue. Your mother, a girl, wouldn't dare to wear it like this."

Cheng Youning was puzzled when he heard this. "When my grandparents and I went out, no one said that I was not dressed appropriately."

Cheng Feng said: "Your grandparents think you are good in every way, and your clothes are very decent."

Cheng Youning said: "This Black Banana has caused me so much trouble. I will never listen to her again."

Cheng Feng touched his head and said lovingly, "You look good in anything you wear."

Cheng Youning asked: "Why is Daddy smiling? You think I'm ugly. Daddy, why are you here just now? We have been here for a long time, except for you and Uncle Shi."

Cheng Fengguo said: "I was making the base for our noodle shop, which delayed me a bit, otherwise your uncle Shi and I would have been here a long time ago."

Cheng Youning's eyes lit up: "Is the base of the noodles ready?"

Cheng Feng nodded. "It will be convenient for you to eat noodles in the future. In the past, if you wanted to eat noodles, your mother and I would have to prepare them for half a day before you could eat them."

Cheng Youning asked: "When will our noodle shop open?"
