Today is the tenth day, so Ning Fu does not need to go to Taixue.

Ning Fu stayed at home with Liu Qingxin in the morning, and took the car out again in the afternoon.

Hutou came back from the workshop outside the city, so Ning Fu came here specially, firstly to get together with Hutou, and secondly to understand the situation of the workshop.

"The workshop has been completely restored, and the soaps have been supplied again. The supply of goods in the capital has been a bit tight recently, mainly because most of the soaps have been taken away by several other big merchants..."

Tiger Head said while holding his big elbow and chewing on it.

He and Wang Gui have been together for a long time, and even their tastes have become similar. The big elbow made by Ning Fu is the dish he must eat when he comes back.

"Wang Gui is a good hand in business. He can earn so much income just from soap!"

Ning Fu was also looking at the account books at this time, and said in admiration.

Because of smallpox, the soap business stopped for a while. Ning Fu originally thought that the income in the first half of the year would not be very good.

But now after looking at the account books, I discovered that the soap's income in the past six months has been extremely amazing. It is absolutely no exaggeration to say that he is now described as "rich".

"Brother Xiao Yi, shopkeeper Wang said that our income will double several times in the second half of the year, and we can even sell soap to Liao and Xixia!"

Hutou said excitedly again.

Although the Liao Kingdom's Xixia army was strong, when it came to business, they could not even catch up with the Song Dynasty.

At this moment, Aunt Wang suddenly walked in from outside, with a somewhat troubled look on her face.

"What's wrong, aunt? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Ning Fu saw the expression on Aunt Wang's face, so he took the initiative to ask.

"this……"

Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment, and then she said, "Xiao Yi, the Liu Jin Dao Family across the street is closing."

"Why?"

Ning Fu was stunned. Although Liu Jindao was shrewd and calculating, he was generally pretty good. Last time someone from Wang Tower came to make trouble, he was the first one to rush to help Aunt Wang.

"There's not much business in his noodle shop, and every day he does it he loses money, so he might as well close the shop and find another way out."

Aunt Wang opened her mouth to explain.

Ning Fu understood as soon as he heard this. Originally, Liu Jindao's business was quite good, but later he was robbed of the business by braised noodles. Now everyone went to Wang Gui's restaurant to eat braised noodles, so Liu Jindao naturally had no business.

"Auntie, go and invite Uncle Liu here, and I'll discuss a business deal with him!"

Ning Fu thought for a moment and said immediately.

"Well, okay, I'll go right away!"

Aunt Wang was overjoyed when she heard this and hurried out to call for someone.

After a while, Liu Jindao walked in with a nervous look on his face. When he saw Ning Fu, he also squeezed out a smile and said, "Xiao Yi, I..."

"Uncle Liu, please stop being polite to me and please sit down!"

Ning Fu took the initiative to greet him.

"I won't sit down anymore. Madam Wang said you want to discuss business with me?"

Liu Jindao didn't dare to sit down. Ning Fu was no longer the young man who opened a noodle shop. He was a great talent who was famous all over the capital. He even taught at Taixue. Liu Jindao usually didn't dare to go to such a person.

Ning Fu saw that Liu Jindao was too restrained and could not be forced, so he simply said directly: "I remember, Uncle Liu, you are good at cooking meat, right?"

"That's right, when I'm at home, I need to use broth. The meat I cook is so fragrant!"

Liu Jindao nodded immediately.

"That's ok, I have a recipe for braised pork, which can make the meat more fragrant as it cooks. If Uncle Liu is willing, why not change the noodle shop into a braised pork restaurant, just like Auntie's steamed bun shop? I need to take two from it.

into profit.”

"Okay! Just do as you say, Xiao Yi!"

Liu Jindao agreed without thinking, even though he didn't even know what braised pork was.

However, Ning Fu is a well-known God of Wealth, and as long as he comes up with ideas, he can make money.

So Ning Fu wrote down the recipe for braised pork on the spot, and then explained the steps of braised pork to Liu Jindao in detail.

Moreover, Ning Fu also specifically told Liu Jindao not to braise meat that is not too good, but to buy more leftovers such as pig intestines, pig lungs, and duck heads.

These things are cheap and taste good after being stewed, so they are suitable for selling to ordinary people with low incomes.

Liu Jindao took the prescription and felt like he had found a treasure. He signed the document on the spot and left happily.

"Xiao Yi, you are really resourceful and you are indeed a person who can do great things."

Aunt Wang next to me also sighed with emotion at this time.

"We are all neighbors, so the little friction we had in the past is nothing, not to mention that Uncle Liu helped my aunt before."

Ning Fu waved his hand and said.

Aunt Wang smiled happily when she heard this, then asked him to continue chatting with Hutou, and went to work in the store.

After Aunt Wang left, the tiger's head suddenly showed a hesitant expression, and the movement of chewing bones also slowed down.

"What's wrong? You can't tell me what's on your mind?"

Ning Fu could tell at a glance that Hu Tou was worried, so he asked with a smile.

I saw Hu Tou hesitate for a moment, and then he smiled honestly and said: "Brother Xiao Yi, don't be angry if I tell you something."

"If you have something to say, just say it!"

Ning Fu slapped Hutou on the shoulder. They were all his brothers, yet they were so polite.

"I……"

He saw the tiger's head but hesitated again, and finally gritted his teeth and said.

"I don't want to work in the workshop anymore!"

"Why?"

Ning Fu was stunned for a moment. The reward he gave Hutou was already quite generous. This kind of job could not be found by anyone else.

"Although the workshop makes money and you trust me a lot, Brother Yi, I have thought about it carefully during this period and I still feel that it is not the way to go on like this."

Hutou became much more courageous when he said this, and he simply spoke out his thoughts completely.

"Some time ago, I and Wu Dutou and the others treated patients with the brothers in the Forbidden Army, and listened to their stories about the past wars. At that time, I felt that this is what a man should do, so..."

Hutou didn't say any more when he said this, and Ning Fu also understood what he meant.

"So you want to join the army?"

Ning Fu took a deep breath and asked.

"Yes, I am born with great strength. When I was in the theater troupe, I learned martial arts from the martial arts students, and others could not learn it as fast as me. Later, Wu Dutou learned the martial arts in our army, and I could learn it in no time. Wu Dutou said that if I

Wearing heavy armor, you will be absolutely unstoppable on the battlefield..."

"No one can stop them. What about the horses? Both Xixia and Liao are good at cavalry, not to mention all kinds of crossbows and trebuchets. Can you, a flesh and blood man, be able to stop these?"

Before Hutou could finish his words, Ning Fu interrupted him angrily.

"me……"

Hutou also saw Ning Fu angry for the first time, so he immediately obeyed and did not dare to say anything again.

Ning Fu really regarded Hu Tou as his biological brother, so naturally he didn't want to see him take risks on the battlefield.

But now I see Tiger Head's submissive look, but I feel a little distressed.

"Hutou, have you ever thought about what my aunt will do if something happens to you?"

"Isn't there Brother Xiao Yi? With you here, my mother will have no problem taking care of her in her old age!"

Hutou smiled honestly again.

"You kid..."

Ning Fu didn't even know what to say.

"Brother Xiao Yi, you are destined to be a prince and prime minister in the future. I...I don't want to rely on you to take care of everything. At least I can help you a little in the future!"

Hutou now looked at Ning Fuda sincerely again.

Ning Fu sighed inwardly when he heard this. He blamed himself. If he was still a small businessman running a restaurant, Hu Tou might not have such an idea.

But now that his position is getting higher and higher, Hutou doesn't want to be too far away from his brother, so he thinks of joining the army.

"Does Auntie know about this?"

Ning Fu calmed down and asked again.

"I don't dare to tell my mother, for fear that she will beat me to death."

Hu Tou said with a guilty conscience.

"If I were my aunt, I would definitely beat you to death too!"
