Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 216: The Merchant's Daughter Wants to Marry the General 13

Once she got busy, the usually lazy Shen Guli was as busy as a clockwork, and was not seen all day, and even this year she was unable to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Lin. She ordered all the laborers in the farm to rush to make the top-ranking noodles specially made for the students taking the provincial examination.

The dry noodles are still the same dry noodles, but this time eggs are added to increase the nutrition.

This time, she packed the noodles in oil paper with "Zhuangyuan Noodles" printed on them, one pound each, and placed them in the most conspicuous stalls in front of the academy and on the main street. Within a day, her Zhuangyuan Noodles were sold out.

Fortunately, there was enough stock in the farm and it was replenished in time, otherwise Ah Niu would have almost had his clothes torn by the aunties who failed to buy the Zhuangyuan noodles for their middle school students.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the provincial examination, the dried noodles quickly became famous in the town.

Some merchants saw the benefits and soon approached Aniu, wanting to know the source of Zhuangyuan noodles. Finally, they found out that it was the property of Shen family in Yonghe Prefecture, and realized that they probably would not be able to get a share of the pie.

But contrary to their expectations, Shen Guli proposed to cooperate.

How can individual sales be comparable to wholesale sales?

This business belongs to Shen Guli. She doesn't want to use the shortcut of the Shen Mansion, so she can only rely on the power of these merchants to bring her dry noodles to farther places.

The small workshop on the farm was expanded five times by Shen Guli, and the farm was isolated from the others, so that it could barely meet the orders from various stores.

"Miss, after the provincial examination, will we be able to sell all the dried noodles we made?" Dashu was a little worried.

He has now been assigned by the young lady to be in charge of the making of noodles here. Seeing that the young lady is investing more and more money, almost all the families in Yulan Village, which is closest to the farm, who have no work to do in the fields, come to the workshop to work.

The wages the young ladies paid were not low, even the craftsmen in the town did not earn as much as they did.

Shen Guli smiled and said, "That's not much, we haven't even started yet. Qishan Town is just my beginning, you just need to do as I say. If you do well, you will be my butler in the future, a bigger butler than your eldest brother!"

Compared to Aniu's unconditional obedience, Lin Shu thinks more, which is very good.

After finishing the provincial examination at the end of August, Shen Guli began to pack his bags and planned to march to the capital.

But before she set out, a carriage arrived at the farm.

The servants on the farm were controlled by Shen Guli and were always short of staff. By the time Shen Guli found out about this, Lin's side had already sent a nanny to call her over.

"Miss, you have to control your temper later. Madam is feeling very sad!"

The nanny grew up with Lin and loved all of Lin's children as if they were her own. This was an act of usurpation.

Shen Guli knew that Shen Helin would be kicked out of the house sooner or later, but she didn't expect him to be kicked out so early.

Maybe it was because Shen Guli had gone to Beijing with Xie Rong very early in her previous life, and Lin had kept this from her.

"I know, Mammy, I'm not a child anymore."

When Shen Guli arrived at Lin's yard, she saw Lin sitting outside with her eyes lowered in a daze. She looked around but couldn't see her fifth brother.

"Mother, where is my fifth brother?"

When Lin heard her daughter's voice, she looked up blankly and stood up as if she was awakened. "Your fifth brother is injured and is in the west wing. I asked someone to call a doctor."

Shen Guli frowned, "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"

Lin walked around the table and hurried to the west wing, "What could have happened to you, mother? Let's go see your fifth brother."

Shen Helin was lying on the couch at this moment, covered with a thin blanket. When he saw his mother and sister coming in, he turned his face away and said nothing.

While Lin was asking the doctor, Shen Guli stepped forward and without warning pulled away the blanket from her adopted brother.

"What are you doing!" The young boy with a hoarse voice had his sister pull the quilt off him, exposing his back in front of the maids and old women. He felt embarrassed, his thick eyebrows stood up, and he twisted his body to sit up.

Shen Guli held his shoulders again and said, "Just lie down!"

The suppression of his blood made the young boy lose the strength to resist. He fell on the pillow and shouted in a muffled voice: "Cover it, cover it for me."

There were crisscross wounds on Shen Helin's back, blue and purple, some of which were bloody and looked like they were about to rot.

"What did you do to make your father punish you?" Shen Guli gently covered him with the blanket again.

When I turned around, I saw Lin covering her mouth with a handkerchief and her eyes were red.

But no matter how Shen Guli asked, her adopted brother refused to tell her the reason.

"Forget it. I don't want to bother with your trivial matters. It's just right for you to stay at the farm and accompany your mother."

Shen Guli increasingly felt that she had to have her own career as soon as possible. She didn't like the feeling of being exiled at all.

After staying at the farm for another four days, when Shen Helin was able to get out of bed and move around normally, she handed over the dried noodle business at the farm to her brother, packed her luggage again, and set off for the capital with Dashu, Aniu, and Cherry Grape.

"Don't worry, Third Sister. I will definitely help you keep an eye on the noodle shop, strive to replace Shen Hongshan as the richest man as soon as possible, and drive Aunt Xuan out of the house!"

Shen Guli was speechless. She just made a big promise casually, but she didn't expect that this adopted brother had so much faith in her. Even with a bruised back, he followed Dashu to the noodle shop every day and mastered the operation of the noodle shop in the shortest time.

"Okay, Third Sister believes you." It's not against the law to deceive her own brother, Shen Guli said without any burden, "You should hurry up and let the noodle shop produce as much dried noodles as possible. Our goal is not just the capital, but the entire country!"

Shen Helin was so excited by those big words that he turned all his anger towards his father's incompetence into a determination to make a name for himself. He sent his third sister away and turned around to go to the noodle shop next to the farm.

Seeing her two children full of energy, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but relax the depression in her heart. Those dull words that she couldn't tell others didn't seem so heavy anymore.

Before Shen Guli went to Beijing, she sent people to the capital to clean the house she was going to live in and clear out the shop she wanted. As soon as they arrived, they could immediately prepare for the opening of the shop.

She didn't have much time left, and had to use Xie Rong's influence to take root in the capital before he returned to the border.

The fact turned out to be just as she expected. The next day after she settled down, she opened her noodle shop on Qingshan Street.

She asked someone to re-carve the label seal and gave her business a name, "Gu Xiang".

Guxiang brand dried noodles, Guxiang brand champion noodles, and there will be more Guxiang brand goodies in the future.

After preparing all these, Shen Guli wrote a visiting card and had it delivered to Xie's house.
