I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

  Chapter 297 Do you want to hear it?

  In the dusk of June, the gorgeous sunset covered the entire sky.

  Gold is falling to the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun envelopes the entire Shanghe Village in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Under the old locust tree in the courtyard of the Shen family, Ji Zhao, who was lying on the bamboo and rattan chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the clouds in the sky, and curled up his lips sadly, "It's already this hour, Chen Where did Chen go?"

   "I heard Master Song said that they will go to Guichuan Mansion first, then turn the waterway and go south by boat." Standing beside her, Shen Yao gently fanned and said in a low voice.

   "I'm a bit regretful." Ji Zhao lowered his eyes to cover the reluctance in his eyes, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in his tone, "I should have known that I should go to the county with you, and send Chen Chen a ride."

   "When Chen Chen comes back, I will accompany you to pick her up." Shen Yao rubbed her cheeks, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Chen Chen is well-behaved and sensible, this journey will definitely be safe and sound."

   "Yeah." Ji Zhao forced a smile, then leaned on his muscular waist, and closed his eyes comfortably.

   Zhao Lanhua, who watched this scene from afar, was filled with relief.

  June 21st, Ji Zhao woke up from the heat.

  The air is so dull that it makes people feel flustered, and even the breath has a feeling of suffocation.

   "Zhao Zhao?"

   "Shen Yao, I can't sleep." Ji Zhao whispered, "I want to take a bath."

   "Okay, I'll prepare hot water for you."

   Half an hour later, after taking a shower, Ji Zhao still felt bored.

"A Tao, try this, I specially cooked yam, red dates and millet porridge," Zhao Lanhua filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to Ji Zhao, who was frowning, and asked with concern, "Mother looks a little bit at you. Bad, is there something wrong with you?"

   "Mom, I'm fine." Ji Zhao smiled lightly and shook his head gently, "Probably because the weather is too boring, so I always feel uncomfortable."

   "Don't tell me, the weather is really weird." Zhao Lanhua quickly echoed, "This morning, your father and I slept so hard that the pillow towels were all sweaty. Hey, I don't know when it will rain!"

   "Mother, have the crops in our field been harvested in advance?" Ji Zhao asked suddenly.

   "Don't worry, your father led someone to help harvest it yesterday, but this year's weather is really bad, and the wheat we planted is not much, but fortunately, we harvested a lot of sugar cane."

   "But A Tao, you said earlier that you can extract more pure white sugar from sugar cane, is this true?" Shen Dalang who was eating a bun suddenly thought of another thing and asked curiously.

"It's true." Ji Zhao said firmly, "The reason why sugar cane is so sweet is because it contains a particularly high amount of sugar! And the white sugar extracted from sugar cane will have a better taste. "

   "That's good!" Shen Dalang's eyes lit up instantly, "If you use white sugar with better taste to make some pastries, then the pastries will be more delicious. More importantly, you can save part of the cost."

"Brother, I have an idea, do you want to listen?" Shen Yao put a peeled boiled egg into the bowl in front of Ji Zhao, then looked at Shen Dalang, and suggested with a smile, "The previous Zhao Ji , do you still want to buy it?"

"Objectively speaking, the location of Zhaoji Rice Shop is indeed much better than that of Shenji today," Shen Dalang thought for a while, then shook his head, "But let's forget about buying the shop, it won't be enough A fat man, besides, I was really anxious before, otherwise I wouldn't have been played around by Zhao Xu."

   "If it weren't for your husband and wife, I don't know how long I will be imprisoned..."

"Brother, there is a saying that you can get up from wherever you fall!" Ji Zhao persuaded with a smile, "And the pastry shop's business is getting better and better now, don't you want the business to go up to a higher level? ?"

   "Don't you want to save some money and send Haohao to study when he grows up?"

  Shen Yao's casual sentence easily moved Shen Dalang.

   "Even if I want to take Zhao Ji down, I'm powerless!" Shen Dalang shrugged helplessly, "Have you forgotten how difficult Zhao Ji's guys are?"

   "There is nothing difficult in the world if you put your heart into it. No matter how difficult a person is, he will have his weaknesses." Shen Yao smiled slightly and explained softly, "Why do you think Zhao Ji's guys are so difficult to deal with?"

   "Of course it's because Zhao Xu, a bastard, owes them their wages."

"Isn't that right? The reason why they prevented you from going to Zhaoji earlier was because the Zhaoji rice shop was where they had worked for many years; secondly, they must have felt that there is hope only by guarding the shop." Shen Yao analyzed calmly, "To sum up, their weakness lies in their fear of losing their breadwinners and never getting back the money that Zhao Xu owed them."

  Shen Dalang kept nodding, "Third brother, your analysis is good. But the pastry shop really doesn't need so many buddies!"

In fact, it’s not that Shen Dalang has never thought of taking the guys from Mipu for his own use, but the pastry shop is different from Mipu. force.

"Brother, have you ever thought about starting a sugar factory by yourself?" Ji Zhao, who was full of food and drink, joined the topic with a smile, "Look, sugar is unavoidable for making pastries, right? Let's decide Many people in Yuan County grow sugar cane. Brother, you can choose a suitable location to open a sugar factory, and then buy these sugar cane at a low price to process sugar. This will not only save the cost of the pastry shop, It also allows many people to have a stable job!"

"You can buy Zhao Ji's shop, and then provide a good job for the guys from Mipu. I think they will thank you in time! In this way, you can also make Shen's pastries bigger. Be stronger, right?"

Shen Dalang was moved by the blueprint for the future drawn by Ji Zhao and his wife, but he still hesitated, "But third child, A Tao, it shouldn't be an easy task to start a sugar factory, right? Can you help me estimate it? , How many taels of silver do you need? Also, whether the sugar extracted from sugar cane can be added to pastries is still a question mark, right?"

   "No matter how difficult it is, as long as you do it with a serious and enthusiastic heart, I don't think anything will become a problem." Shen Yao said in a gentle tone.

   "That's right!" Ji Zhao looked at the man beside him with his hands on his cheeks, and responded with a smile, "Brother, I know you still have some doubts in your heart, but let's do an experiment first!"
