Li Jinglan didn't know that Mrs. Li Wu was planning to force Wu Fangfei on her.

She heard some gossip from Yan Fuyu.

"A government ship from Shanxi brought a batch of coal. One hundred catties of coal cost one hundred and thirty coins."

"The Ministry of Industry's warehouse is selling white cotton cloth, 300 wen per piece, 32 feet long."

"The price of rapeseed oil has also dropped this year, to 30 wen per pound. But soybean oil has increased a bit, to more than 50 wen."

Li Jinglan raised her eyebrows.

The Xia family made a lot of money, in large part because they were able to buy coal at low prices.

You can make a lot of money by buying coal from the Ministry of Industry and storing it until winter.

Ordinary people don’t have such channels.

But after talking with Yan Fuyu for a while, Li Jinglan knew how she could make money.

After returning home, he called Lu Guanyu over and said, "I read the Qi Min Yao Shu a few days ago and saw the pear pickle method. I want to try it at home."

After listening to Li Jinglan's explanation, Lu Guanyu was eager to try it out. "Then let's give it a try."

Seeing Lu Guanyu's agreement, Li Jinglan smiled and said, "You can not only try to make pears, but also all fruits and vegetables on the market. Then, collect chicken eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs in Xishui Village, pickle them in salt water, and open them for sale in winter."

In the agricultural era, if you wanted to make money, all you had to do was to have food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Her family harvests vegetables and fruits, and the villagers will grow a lot of vegetables and fruits.

She sells the pickled fruits and vegetables, which not only makes a profit for herself but also for the farmers.

The pear pickle method is to put the pears in water and seal the mouth of the jar with mud.

Another method is to soak it in sugar water, add a little honey to pear juice to make it sweet and sour, and then seal it with mud.

It is even easier to pickle chicken eggs or duck eggs with salt, with almost no failure rate.

Li Jinglan sent Lu Sheng's family to help Lu Guanyu.

"Find some maids who are quick and clean. Not only should they be clean, but they should also be obedient and not gossip. Don't go into the inner house and spread the family affairs to other people."

Li Jinglan instructed Lu Sheng's family.

Li Jinglan has already figured out the tempers of the two families, Lu Sheng and Zhao Zhengyi.

Lu Sheng and his wife are not very talkative, but they know what they are doing. They are suitable to be put in the workshop to manage production and are relatively obedient.

Zhao Zhengyi and his wife are good at talking and working efficiently, so they are suitable to stay in the inner house as housekeepers and take care of people coming and going.

Lu Guanyu got the job and was full of fighting spirit every day.

Apart from attending classes, all my attention was focused on how to pickle fruits and vegetables.

First, ask Lu Sheng's family to buy a lot of empty jars, and then carefully wash the empty jars with water.

Then buy fruits, vegetables, eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs in the village.

Wash it clean after purchasing it.

We recruited a few skilled women from Xishui Village and started trial production.

Regarding the Lu family recruiting people from time to time.

The villagers of Xishui Village are already very familiar with it.

When they heard that the Lu family was recruiting, everyone was eager to try.

Many people are proud to work for the Lu family.

Those who were recruited showed off everywhere.

Time flies.

The last round of the college entrance examination finally ended.

After Lu Bozhou handed in his policy proposal, he waited on the side.

Just waiting for the gate to open and go out with the other candidates.

Yin Zhihai took the paper from Lu Bozhou.

I read it from beginning to end and my eyes lit up.

He took a pen and circled and added three circles on the paper.

Push the test paper to the academician He Chang.

After reading the article, Academician He Chang was also delighted and circled it.

Another student handed in his paper and knelt down after handing it in: "I know poems, lyrics, songs and fu, and I beg you to interview me, sir."

Prefect Yin raised his eyebrows and glanced at the student.

His attitude was kind, but his words were sharp. "Although the poems are good, they are the old style of Han and Tang dynasties. Our dynasty has established imperial examinations to select scholars who can govern the country."

I looked down at the boy's name.

Zhou Jin.

"Jinzhe, the ancient Chinese character for jinzhe, is composed of the character zhui, which means bird." Prefect Yin pointed at his official uniform and said, "Your elders gave you this name because they naturally hope that you will wear the clothes of a flying bird. Don't let down the sincerity of your elders."

Zhou Jin blushed at these words and said, "Tongsheng knows he was wrong."

Zhou Jin walked into the waiting crowd and saw Lu Bozhou and Wang Yongqing at a glance.

Lu Bozhou and Wang Yongqing are both people with outstanding looks and stand out in the crowd.

The exam is over.

All candidates submitted their papers.

The courtyard door opens.

Led by the yamen runners, the candidates walked slowly out.

Outside the dragon gate, many people were waiting.

Lu Bozhou and Wang Yongqing supported each other as they came out of the dragon gate, looking for their families.

"Brother, you're out?" Lu Zhongyu ran forward and supported Lu Bozhou's body.

Lu Bozhou smiled and said, "No need to support me, I feel much better now."

He patted his brother's shoulder gently and handed the exam basket to Lu An.

Not far away, there was a sudden commotion.

The candidates looked towards the noise, confused.

Lu Bozhou also raised his head and saw a yellow shadow moving among the crowd of examinees. It seemed to be a woman.

He didn't care and turned to talk to Wang Yongqing, "Let's go back."

Wang Yongqing handed the examination basket to the servant and nodded: "Go back."

Suddenly, Lu Bozhou heard the voice of brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law."

As he called out "brother-in-law", Lu Bozhou saw the woman in yellow flying towards him like a bird into the forest.

"Brother-in-law, save me, someone is chasing me." The woman in yellow exclaimed and tried to pull Lu Bozhou's sleeve.

Just as the yellow-shirted woman's hand was about to touch Lu Bozhou's sleeve, Lu Zhongyu stretched out his hand to block it.

Then, Lu An reacted quickly, turned around, rushed to Lu Bozhou, and pushed him with his shoulder.

The woman was knocked off balance by the push.

The woman cried out, and as she stepped back she stepped on Zhou Jin's shirt that was hanging on the ground.

Zhou Jin's shirt was torn during the body search, and half of it hung on the ground.

He was about to move forward when he was stepped on by the woman.

All I heard was a hissing sound.

Zhou Jin lunged forward and the examination basket fell to the ground.

The contents were scattered all over the floor.

Zhou Jin was immediately furious: "Don't you have eyes? This is outside the examination room! How can a woman like you run around here recklessly? "

The woman who was rushing around recklessly was naturally Wu Fangfei.

When Wu Fangfei heard Zhou Jin scolding her, tears quickly welled up in her eyes:

"I'm sorry! I was being chased by someone just now, and I ran here because I thought that this is the examination room and those bad guys wouldn't dare to come here..."

She said this.

The honest man Zhou Jin didn't know how to respond and stopped talking.

Wu Fangfei's target was not Zhou Jin at all, she turned to look at Lu Bozhou.

The voice is delicate and soft:

"Brother-in-law, a bad guy just chased me."
