Chapter 216 The Lady is also a Butcher 14
By then, if we put some new dishes in the restaurant, we should be able to attract more people, so we won’t lose money.
The one-eyed man smiled, knowing that Ming Huaixi would definitely want it. “This restaurant is a popular shop. The owner offered 13,000 taels, which is a very fair price. It’s just that the news hasn’t been released yet, otherwise if more people wanted it, the price would naturally be higher.
By the way, the owner has only one request, if you can do it, I will sell this shop to you."
"any request?"
"The owner asked not to fire the people in this restaurant. He felt that the people here had a hard time, and even if they were fired, they had to be properly arranged. Of course, the owner is not the kind of person who makes trouble. They said that if the people in the building really did go too far, then please deal with it yourself."
"Oh, he is a loyal and righteous master." Ming Huaixi thought to himself.
"I agreed to his terms. Let me know when you can transfer your household registration."
This condition was not excessive, and Ming Huaixi had no reason to refuse. Besides, this family was also reasonable, so he decided to go to this restaurant directly.
"Please wait for a day and I will talk to the master and ask about this.
Because of some problems with the other shop, the owner has set a low price of two thousand taels of silver. What do you think of this?"
Ming Huaixi understood from Duyan's question that he could still lower the price, and he immediately realized, "Can I buy that shop for 1,800 taels? If so, I'll take it. If not, we can talk later."
"The lowest price offered by the master is 1,800 taels. Please wait a day while I discuss it with the master."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news. This is a small gift, please accept it. Thank you for your help these days."
Ming Huaixi asked someone to prepare a gift for Duyan, which included one hundred taels of silver notes. Duyan had helped her a lot these days, so she should give him some hard work compensation. If she didn't get any, it would be fine, but now that she did, of course she would give it to him.
Not to mention other things, just that restaurant helped her a lot. There was no shortage of people buying things there, and the fact that they gave it to her at the first time showed that they trusted her.
Duyan accepted the gift directly. He could afford it. It was also a symbol of his good relationship with Ming Huaixi. By accepting it, he tacitly agreed that as long as Ming Huaixi needed something in the future, he would notify Ming Huaixi as soon as he found a suitable one. It was a win-win situation.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Now it was time for Yunsheng to take the examination for the scholar. Even Bai Zhisong was amazed by his talent.
Excluding what Yun Fuyue taught before, it only took him two years of systematic study and he passed the examination for students of higher learning. After a while, he will take the examination for the academy. If he passes, he will become a scholar. The capital city is a place where outstanding people gather and there are many talented people. Yunsheng can also be ranked among the top.
However, the year when Qi Ying was supposed to attack the capital was peaceful. This was because Ming Huaixi collected some evidence after knowing that Qi Ying had ordered his subordinates to do those dirty things, and gave the emperor a dream-returning talisman.
The emperor dreamed of what would happen afterwards, and he began to plan to execute Qi Ying, and finally got rid of him a few months ago.
Ming Huaixi didn't want to do anything against Qi Ying at first. This man was really too dishonest, and he would also affect the progress of his child, so it would be better to trouble him to die.
Ming Huaixi's pig farm is now back on track. Ming Huaixi made major changes to another shop he bought at that time and turned it into a braised food store.
The braised goods store was divided into two parts, one half sold pork and the other half sold braised goods. The restaurant bought by Ming Huaixi has been in business all the time, adding new items from time to time, which has attracted many new diners.
Ming Huaixi only did business in the morning at the braised goods shop. She picked two girls from the village who were literate and good at accounting to help manage the business, while she slaughtered pigs and sold pork in another shop.
The pigs she sold were initially purchased from other places, but later she used her own pork when her own pig farm was able to officially supply the market. The pork she raised herself was more tender than that of ordinary people's pigs, and she even made a big fuss about it.
The reason was that the pork from her family was quite different from other pork. As a result, people suspected that it was not pork and reported it to the police.
Ming Huaixi slaughtered a pig in public, which dispelled everyone's suspicion. Then her stall became popular all of a sudden. Her pork was only two cents more expensive than other stalls, but it tasted much better.
Ming Huaixi had no choice but to sell only one pig a day and close the shop after selling it. The living standards of the people in the capital were still quite high, so basically all the pigs were sold out in less than half a day. Now the number of pigs on the farm has increased to thousands.
Except for the land rented to tenants, the rest of the land on the farm is used to raise pigs.
Ming Huaixi also bought another farm, which was used specifically for growing pig grass. Yes, grass, which was then mixed with other grains to make pig food. Combined with some other ingredients, the pigs grew very fast.
Pigs grow very fast. Generally, they can grow to more than 200 kilograms in half a year and then can be slaughtered. Unlike modern pigs that weigh more than 300 kilograms, it is normal to raise pigs over 200 kilograms here, and there are basically no pigs over 300 kilograms.
Some wealthy families would order a few pigs directly from Ming Huaixi instead of buying them from Ming Huaixi's store. They would also order pigs directly from Ming Huaixi for New Year ancestor worship.
Even though there are thousands of pigs, there is no need to worry about sales. The braised food shop occasionally sells some snacks made of pure meat, such as meat jerky and meat floss, which are also very popular with some families.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, my second brother passed the college entrance examination and got first place, sister-in-law!!"
This day was the day when the Yunsheng results were announced. Ming Huaixi did not go to the pork shop but waited at home. Yun Qinglian and Yun Haocheng ran out to see the list.
Xiao Jinglan was at home playing with Ming Huaixi. Yunsheng was still in school and had not returned. Oh, after Yunsheng passed the examination for a student, he was sent to a famous school in the capital, Songxia School. Now Yunsheng has not returned yet.
Before she even entered the door, Yun Qinglian shouted. Li Zi behind her was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. "Miss, Miss, don't shout so loudly. You have to be a lady, you have to be a lady."
"Oh, oh no, I forgot. Li Zi, next time you must remind me that I am a lady the first time I call you."
Yun Qinglian is now eight years old and has begun to pay attention to her own behavior and image. She has always labeled herself as a lady, but because Ming Huaixi has never restrained her since she was a child, and she has also been practicing martial arts, her personality is a bit careless and she always does things recklessly.
She asked the people around her to remind her, but every time she rushed forward, no one could catch up with her. Ming Huaixi felt helpless about this.
