Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Chapter 197: The Big Lead

"Oh, it's rare that Xiaocao still remembers me. I won't be polite then." Shopkeeper Wu poured a cup of tea for himself and Sanmao, then took a piece of dessert and started eating.

"Well, it's really good. Xiaocao'er is such a good eater. By the way, why doesn't she come out with us?"

"She said she wanted to stay at home with big brother. She will go to Beijing with her husband in a few days. She is sticking to big brother." Sanmao said with a smile.

"Oh, Zhu Qing is going to the capital?" Shopkeeper Wu didn't know about this yet.

"Well, we'll all go. Big brother and brother Berlin will take part in the imperial examination next year, and I'm going to try to take the Imperial College exam. I'll just go with them to see the world."

"It's not like you haven't been to the capital before. There are almost bamboo fast food restaurants all over Daxia. What in the world haven't you seen?" Shopkeeper Wu glanced at him. It's a good thing that this guy has learned to hide.

He followed me for a period of time before, but later stopped because he wanted to take the exam to become a scholar. After passing the exam, he followed Young Master Zheng again. All what he learned was not in vain.

"Hey, I've only been there a few times, and I haven't seen a lot of things. I still have a lot to learn."

"So what are your plans for this trip?" asked Shopkeeper Wu.

"I want to buy a yard in the capital after I go there, so that my sister and her family will have a place to live when they come to the capital. Although my husband's family doesn't lack a place for a few of us to live, it won't be good for my eldest brother to live in my husband's family forever if he becomes an official. Besides, it's not a loss to buy a house in the capital. Even if I don't live in it, I can rent it out."

"Yes, it's not easy to buy a house in a good location in the capital. If you need one, go find the owner of the Jixiang Restaurant in the capital. You have met him before. He has been in the capital for so many years and is very familiar with the affairs of the capital."

"Okay, kid, I'll remember that. Oh, also remember to bring him a small jar of wine, otherwise he might not let me in." Sanmao said with a smile.

"Yes, he likes this." Shopkeeper Wu also smiled.

After a long while, Sanmao asked, "Uncle Wu, have you seen Brother Hua Ming and the others these two days?"

"Yes, I saw him yesterday. He should still be in the mansion now."

"Oh, then I'll go over to see them." Sanmao said and stood up and walked out.

Shopkeeper Wu: So you came here specifically to find out about their news, and you came to see me just by chance.

Sanmao met Zheng Huaming and Qi Xingyun in the flower hall of Zheng's mansion.

"Brother Huaming, Brother Xingyun." Sanmao saluted to the two of them.

"You're going to Beijing in a few days. Why don't you stay at home and spend more time with your family? What are you doing here?" Zheng Huaming asked.

In recent years, Zheng Huaming has had a very good relationship with the Yang brothers.

"Of course I'm here for something. I have great news. My sister has come up with something new." Sanmao got straight to the point as soon as he arrived.

"Really? She hasn't come up with anything new for a long time. What is it? Is it food or something to use? Hurry up and bring it over to have a look." When Zheng Huaming heard that there was something new, his originally lazy look immediately became energetic.

It’s been a while since this little girl tinkered with anything.

"Yes, it is used. It's called soap. It can wash clothes very cleanly, especially remove grease stains. But I didn't bring it out because it's not finished yet. I estimate it will take ten days or so before I can see it." Sanmao said.

"It will take another ten days to see it? Then what are you doing here now? What do you want me to see? You?" Zheng Huaming became lazy again when he heard that there was nothing to see.

Qi Xingyun was also curious about Xiaocao'er's new creation. How long had it been since I last saw her? I wondered if she was as plump and white as before, or if she had grown taller. Xiaocao always cared about her height, fearing that she would not grow tall and become a short and fat girl.

The little girl with curved eyes and eyebrows when she smiles is always so confident in what she has tinkered with. I wonder if it is the same this time.

Qi Xingyun was daydreaming here, while Sanmao and Zheng Huaming were already talking about soap.

"We will be returning to the capital in a few days, which will take about ten days. So let Old Wu bring it back to us then." Zheng Huaming said.

"No need. Xiaocao'er told us to take some with us when we leave, and we can try it out when the time comes. But we will probably still be on the road by then. If we want to try washing clothes, we have to get to Beijing. But soap can also be used to wash hands, so we can try the effect on the way." Sanmao told Zheng Huaming about Xiaocao'er's plan.

"That's fine too. It'll be faster for us to take them with us than for Old Wu to bring them back later." Zheng Huaming also agreed to take them with him. "But how do you know the laundry is clean? Have you used it before?"

"My sister said so." Sanmao said proudly.

Zheng Huaming: Okay, just pretend I didn’t ask.

"Have you come up with this plan?"

"I haven't had time to write yet. I just found out about this yesterday, and then some other things happened and I haven't had time to write." Sanmao's smile faded a little instantly.

"What's the problem?" Zheng Huaming sat up straight and asked.

Please don’t let it be about the soap. I finally have something new, and I won’t allow any problems to stand in the way.

“The method and materials of making this soap are simple and easy, and you can learn it at a glance. Xiao Caoer asked Brother Goudan and Brother Tietou to help at the beginning, because she wanted to bring the two families to make it together.

Originally, Xiao Caoer planned to open a workshop here and in Beijing, so as to reduce the transportation cost in between. It just so happened that there were two brothers, Goudan and Tietou, each responsible for a workshop, and each accounting for 10% of the shares. If Brother Huaming wanted to do it, he would be responsible for sales, accounting for 30%, and my family would account for 50%.

If the profit is divided like this, what do you think, Brother Hua Ming?" Sanmao also told Xiaocao'er about her original plan.

"This is fine. The recipe is come from you guys, so you can take the majority of the profit. Goudan and Tietou will be responsible for 10% of the production, and I'll take 30% of the sales, which is also pretty good. What about now? Has the plan changed?" Zheng Huaming asked.

"My mother disagrees with this. She thinks Xiaocao shouldn't teach Brother Goudan and the others. She wants to give the recipe to my grandparents. She scolded my sister at home yesterday because of this." Sanmao said in a light tone.

Zheng Huaming was stunned. Li always listened to his children in business, especially Xiaocao'er. How come this time he not only disagreed but also scolded Xiaocao'er? This was a strange thing.

Zheng Huaming was stunned for a moment, and Qi Xingyun was also stunned. So many years have passed since the beginning of the cooperation, and the elders of the Yang family didn't listen to the children that time. Among the brothers and sisters, Xiaocao was the leader. It can be said that Xiaocao could do whatever he wanted with their family's business. There was no new thing in the past two years. Could it be that they have changed?

That’s not right. There was a lotus pond some time ago, but it was not suitable for the Li family. I guess the elders of the Yang family didn’t know about it.
