Fang took out a big bag from his back and said, "Son-in-law, this is the money we've earned from selling red fruits and candied haws these days. According to our initial agreement, we'll split it in half. This is the remaining half."
It had to be said that Fang and the others were a group of very honest people.
Although they were the ones who worked hard to sell candied haws, the candied haws were invented by Li Yi. In the beginning, he was the one who gave them the money. Even when they encountered various problems later on, he was the one who helped them solve them.
Without Li Yi, they wouldn't be where they were today.
They understood all this.
Son-in-law could have done these things without them, but because of his relationship with Miss, he took care of them. Everything was remembered by Fang and the others.
At first, when they heard that Son-in-law wanted to split half of the profits with them, Fang and the others were shocked at first, then they became terrified. They had only done a little bit of work. What right did they have to take so much?
However, they insisted on only taking 10% of the profits, which was eventually rejected by Li Yi.
Fang could never imagine that the reason why Li Yi's impression of him changed was because of the two pheasants.
Perhaps, all of them should be grateful … to the two pheasants.
…
…
In the courtyard, when Xiao Huan and Liu Ruyi saw Fang open the bag and revealed the copper coins inside, their pretty faces went blank for a moment.
They knew that it was Li Yi's idea that the big man surnamed Fang and the others had been working on the candied haws business these days. They were only a little curious, but they didn't take it to heart.
Last time, Fang sent a small bag of copper coins to Xiao Huan, saying that it was the profit from selling candied haws. It was about a few hundred copper coins. At that time, Xiao Huan only thought that Son-in-law had found a way to make money for Uncle Fang and the others, and they wouldn't have to live so hard in the future. She was very happy.
But she didn't expect that they would make so much money in just a few days!
If they only sold candied haws like before, they naturally wouldn't make so much money.
But what Xiao Huan and Liu Ruyi didn't know was that Fang and the others had been doing more than this these days.
First, he listened to Li Yi and bought a large amount of hawthorns, almost emptying out the hawthorns in Qing 'an Prefectural City. A few days later, he sold them at several times the original price and made a huge profit.
Not only that, but even the unripened hawthorn fruits in the back of the mountain were all plucked by them, taking advantage of this craze to sell.
More than half of the copper coins in front of him were actually the profits from selling hawthorn fruits.
In addition, they took advantage of the fact that the price of the hawthorn sugar-coated haws had dropped to the freezing point and there was no longer any profit to be made. They decisively launched a new type of fruit sugar-coated haws, which was well received. Before all the vendors could react, they had made a fortune.
All of this was, of course, Li Yi's idea.
And now, although there were many imitations of the new type of sugar-coated haws, because they had long established the Liu's sugar-coated haws brand, they had a natural advantage. Their business was still very good, and every day, their goods would be sold out.
Until now, there was a steady income every day. If this business could continue for a long time, their lives would definitely get better and better.
They didn't have to go back to the days where they had to worry about filling their stomachs every day.
They had meat and rice every day, and their family gradually had a small amount of savings. In a short period of time, they had suddenly moved from the bottom of the Willow Leaf Village to a well-off level. Not to mention the tenant farmers who used to be at the same level as them, even the direct descendants of the Liu's who had a slightly more well-off life were now far behind them.
Who could have imagined such a life in the past?
Because of this, these people were full of gratitude towards Li Yi. If it weren't for him, they might still be working for others and living a life where they didn't know the next meal.
"Have you bought all the things that I asked you to buy in the prefecture?" Li Yi didn't refuse the money sent by Fang and the others. After all, in the following period of time, he really needed money.
"I've bought all the bezoar, peppermint, honeysuckle, spices, and wine. I'll send them to you in a moment." Fang nodded and said.
Although he was still very curious about the use of those things that the son-in-law asked him to buy, now Fang admired Li Yi from the bottom of his heart.
The things that needed to be done would be done by the son-in-law. As for the rest, he could leave it to him.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Li Yi looked up at Fang and the others and said, "The sugar-coated haws business can be handed over to your in-laws in the future. If you have any trustworthy relatives, you can also let them participate."
Hearing this, Fang was stunned and asked, "Then what should we do?"
The others also had a puzzled look on their faces.
"Don't worry, I won't let you guys be idle," Li Yi said with a smile.
Letting Fang and the others sell sugar-coated haws on the streets was really overkill. It was a great waste of talent. What Li Yi was going to do next would be the time where they would really be useful.
Although Li Yi didn't explain in detail, Fang still nodded without hesitation, "Alright, I'll let my in-laws know when I get back."
The others didn't have any objections to this.
This powerful execution that stemmed from trust left Liu Ruyi secretly alarmed as she watched from the side.
He turned his head and looked at Li Yi with a surprised expression. He had only been in the village for a short period of time, but he had already completely convinced these guys …
Not long after, the burly man surnamed Fang and the others walked out of the courtyard.
Walking in the village, along the way, many of the direct descendants of the Liu family looked at them with rather unfriendly eyes.
There was no other reason, it was because their sugar-coated haws had all gone bankrupt.
Nowadays, an ordinary sugar-coated haw could only be sold for a copper coin. The profits were far less than before. Even if it was a copper coin, they couldn't sell much in a day.
In the current Qing 'an Prefecture, the faces of Fang and the others were the only indication of authentic sugar-coated haws. Only the Liu family's sugar-coated haws were still as popular as before.
Of course, compared to others, their sugar-coated haws had more variety and the taste was more delicious. This was also the reason why the Liu family's sugar-coated haws had always been popular.
As for the "Liu family's sugar-coated haws", of course, it wasn't a name that just anyone with the surname Liu could use. Even though they wanted to imitate it, the taste they made was far from the others.
It was only now that everyone understood that this seemingly simple sugar-coated haw probably had some unique secret method that they didn't know about.
If they wanted to make a fortune with sugar-coated haws, they had to get Fang's secret recipe. However, the direct descendants had always been at odds with each other. Of course, Fang wouldn't tell them the secret recipe for free.
Seeing that the people they didn't even need to look at when they went out in the past were now living a life that even they were envious of, more of the Liu family members began to regret.
If they hadn't been so against Liu Sister Ruyi, how could this situation have happened?
Back then, for the sake of a small profit, they had made things difficult for the Liu sisters. Now, they had lost this rare opportunity to make a fortune. Only the Liu family members could understand how they felt.
At this moment, their minds once again thought of the scholar that they had looked down upon. Everyone's hearts were filled with complicated emotions.
