Chapter 116: Roast Chicken
The Jing Factory was unanimously boycotted before it even started construction. It goes without saying that this has something to do with the Grand Princess. Only with her huge business empire could she have the ability to do such a thing.
At this time, Lao Tietou also remembered something, "Hearing what Brother Mo said, I have the same situation here, and the purchase of wood and firewood is not going smoothly.
At first I thought it was because my quantity was small, so the big merchants didn’t take it seriously. Now I think they just don’t want to sell to us at all.
If this continues, when our business grows bigger, the supply capacity of those small merchants will not be able to keep up, and our raw materials will be cut off."
How to do business without raw materials? It's scary to think about it, but we have to find a way. Lao Tietou suddenly became worried.
Song Qingwan rubbed her chin. Why did these people force her? She originally just wanted to make a small fortune, but now she had to make a big one.
"Qingcheng, think of a way to deal with the raw material of wood. It can't be that all wood business is related to the princess. We can start with her mortal enemy.
As for fuel, bricks, and sand and stone, we can produce them ourselves, which can fully meet our own needs and even sell them to other countries.”
"Wanwan, you are not planning to use the barren mountain, are you? There are indeed sand and wood there, but the raw wood cannot be used for the time being." Some sand and clay can be screened, but Father Song doesn't believe that his daughter has no common sense about wood.
Song Qingwan shook her head and said with a smile, "We can use coal instead of wood as fuel. I also discovered this when I passed by today.
Among the mountains we bought, there is a small one covered with black stones and soil. It is an open-pit coal mine. We don’t know its exact size, but it is definitely enough for us to use for a year or so.
Although this substance is a mineral, the court has never mined it and has not issued any clear ban on it. We can seize the initiative and drill some control points.
With coal, we can make bricks, porcelain, and ironware~" Then, all difficulties will be solved, and at the same time, she will make a lot of money, thanking her opponent for giving her the opportunity.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Coal is black soil or stone that can be burned? Is this really not a magic trick? Anyway, they had never heard of it, even the knowledgeable Situ Boliang.
Father Song has accepted his daughter's special skills. "We have to give it a try. Wanwan, you try it first. I'll report it to the higher-ups to avoid any major incidents."
Until this time, Father Song finally felt that he was of some use. He had someone above him, and the relationship was solid and reliable!
"Okay, then I will go investigate the site tomorrow, come up with a mining plan as soon as possible, and start construction immediately."
Afterwards, Song Qingwan arranged some work matters for tomorrow, and everyone had dinner together before dispersing.
Xie Qingcheng walked at the end and mentioned something to Song Qingwan, "Miss, there is something I should tell you."
"What is it?" Need he explain it specifically? Song Qingwan also became curious for a moment.
"It's the second lady of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery." Xie Qingcheng told the story of Lin Xingyue and Jinchun.
Song Qingwan was surprised. She had heard so much gossip today. "But wasn't Jinchun sold to the small dark room?" She did it herself, it was definitely true.
You can even get out like this? You can still do things after you get out, so the small dark room isn't that scary after all.
"Of course we can redeem her at a high price. Anyway, Lin Er is ruined. We don't know if she will go crazy. You better be careful."
Xie Qingcheng reminded Song Qingwan and then left the Song family.
Song Qingwan finally figured it out and couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder Lu Qianze dared to abuse Yu A Jiao, it turns out that her backstage collapsed."
"Just stay away from those evil people. There is no need to be afraid of them. There are many people who will take advantage of them." Father Song said with a deep look in his eyes. His actions have not yet had any effect, but there is no rush.
After everyone left, the family chatted about some family matters. Father Song took the opportunity to teach his children some principles and methods of getting along with people of different identities. For example, the newly added "servants", Qi Sheng and Hua Lao.
Song Qingwan was also listening and learning seriously, because she was indeed not as tactful as her father in dealing with people and things. To put it bluntly, she was just a foolish and bold person who was easily taken advantage of.
However, she has always had good luck. As long as the people she meets are sincere to her, she will reap good rewards.
But it’s hard to say what will happen in the future, so it is still necessary to learn some skills. The family talked until very late and then went back to bed.
The next day, before dawn, Le Fei drove a horse-drawn carriage to the Song family. He was going to pick up Song's father from his shift.
The second group of people were two boys who went to school. They were picked up by Xiuniang. After she took them to the government school, she came back and waited for Song Qingwan to send them.
Song Qingwan got up very early today. She first took her younger brother and sister to do some simple exercise, then had breakfast, and finally went out.
First they went to the Jing Factory, which became Song Qingwan's office. She discussed and drew some drawings of equipment and products with Mo Shou, and also calculated some materials. In short, she was very busy.
It was not until noon that things came to an end, and she was hungry.
Because the fine factory has not started operations yet, there is no dining inside. In the future, this business can be contracted out to Aunt Yang's family next door.
"Miss, what would you like to eat?" Xiuniang had to do the accounts and learn Arabic numerals at the same time, so she was very busy and did not have time to order food for her master.
"Let's go outside and have something to eat. We still have to go to the barren mountains in the afternoon." See how the beggars arrange things and draw blueprints for coal mining.
"Okay, let's eat nearby and then come back to catch the carriage." This is at least more convenient than renting a car.
Then the two of them chatted and discussed together and went out to find food.
The street was bustling with all kinds of snacks, and the tempting aroma could be smelled everywhere. Because she was in a hurry, Song Qingwan planned to have a meal at a snack stall.
But the food in ancient capital, even those sold at small food stalls, was very delicious, because many of them were made by hand, passed down through generations.
Song Qingwan found a relatively clean noodle stall and ordered a bowl of fried noodles with soybean paste, which had a delicious taste and rich sauce.
But there was a barbecue stall next to it, with juicy roasted chicken and lamb legs being roasted over the crackling charcoal fire. She ordered one without hesitation.
Now, her heart and eyes were filled with satisfaction, and both the master and servant ate with gusto.
At this moment, a sound of swallowing saliva was suddenly heard from the side. Song Qingwan turned her head to look while gnawing on a chicken leg.
She saw a couple in their fifties staring at her eating roasted chicken with a greedy look on their faces, while in front of them there was only a bowl of clear soup noodles.
Are you craving for meat? Although they were dressed simply, their temperament and physical fitness were well maintained, and they didn't look like they couldn't afford roast chicken.
Is there something to hide? It's just a roast chicken, and she doesn't need it now, so Song Qingwan raised the roast chicken in her hand and kindly invited, "Want to eat? One for you."
Second update finished~

The beauty is generous, who did she invite?
