Chapter 258 Feasible, brilliant plan!
Zhao Yuming looked at Cang Lingchen and gave him a gentle smile, a smile full of love!
Slightly creepy!
She suddenly realized a terrible problem: there was something wrong with these two.
Before she could ask, Lu Yunqing kicked her, and she immediately came to her senses.
She suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room was very strange. Gu Chenglin had a dark face and was staring at her intently, his eyes full of displeasure.
What does it mean?
What did she do?
Lu Yunqing looked at Gu Chenglin: "Is the tofu all ready?"
Seeing his wife looking at him with a blank expression, Gu Chenglin immediately withdrew his aura and sighed helplessly.
He nodded to Lu Yunqing: "It's all done. Granny Yu and Granny Zhao directed those few to smoke some and fry some."
When I arrived, they were frying tofu balls. They said Ma Wencai and the others said they were delicious and wanted to take some home.
Thinking about all the New Year's gifts that each family brought yesterday, I'll accept whatever food they ask for, since everyone in my family knows how to cook anyway.
Xiao Jin said that she could give them any of the five recipes for making tofu.
They also said that in their world, no one keeps their family recipes secret. As long as someone wants to learn, some families will teach them if they accept a small gift.
Some offer a franchise fee, allowing you to do business with other people.
Thinking about them, which family doesn't keep their life-saving remedies tightly under wraps?
And then there's the Jiang family of Jing'an Town, who became famous because of a prescription for treating boils that their ancestors accidentally obtained.
My wife gave me so many prescriptions, each one of which could help a family rise to prominence.
She was the only one who didn't care, but considering what she had stored on her computer, what she gave away really wasn't much.
Lu Yunqing sighed: "I wonder if those people in the capital have tried it. A few days ago, my sister wrote in a letter that they tried many times before they succeeded in making tofu, but they still couldn't make that soft tofu."
"The fried dough sticks and soy milk at the breakfast stall are selling out pretty fast, as are the sesame paste sugar pancakes. Xiao Jin, you have to make one just for me; I haven't tried them before."
Dongfang Jin: "..."
Is this settling scores after the fact?
Long Er is truly loyal; he even sent them all back to the capital.
Originally, Long Jiu and Shiyi wanted to take a copy of every new recipe they saw at her house, and she thought they were honest enough.
Thinking about how Long Er had written down everything she did since he came to her house, even things like frying peppercorns in oil or mixing cabbage hearts, she realized that what Long Jiu and Eleven did was really nothing.
She said that the man was busy in the kitchen with Aunt Hui and Sister Yumei every day, so that's what she meant.
She wouldn't stand it if Emperor Shengde didn't pay her a high salary.
Long Jiu then spoke up: "Sugar pancakes aren't as delicious as candy. You also need to put an egg in your fried dough sticks and have a bowl of sweet soy milk. That's what makes them really delicious!"
He didn't say that Sister Jin puts glutinous rice cakes on fried dough sticks and sprinkles them with sesame salt, which is super delicious.
There's also that sesame ball wrapped around a fried dough stick, filled with glutinous rice, sweet red beans, and sprinkled with sesame salt.
Another bowl of soy milk would be perfect.
Lu Yunqing looked at Dongfang Jin with a mournful expression: "I want to eat everything they've ever eaten."
Dongfang Jin sighed and rubbed his forehead...
"Brother, today is Lunar New Year's Eve, we don't eat those kinds of things."
After the New Year, you can come stay at our house, and you'll be able to eat there every day.
Lu Yunqing immediately put away her aggrieved expression: "That's a good idea. I was just thinking about that too."
After the New Year, you should have someone build houses. I just met a house-building team a few days ago.
He has quite a few people there, including all sorts of craftsmen; you can use them to build houses for you.
I heard that Tang Youcai used their services when he built that house.
Dongfang Jin clapped her hands: "That's a good idea. Tell Gu Chenglin later and have them make the contact."
Since we're talking about building houses, and she's even met a construction team, then...
"By the way, brother, do you think you should reorganize this county?"
Lu Yunqing had just picked up his teacup to take a sip when he heard what she said and became interested: "Tell me, how do you plan to organize this? Your brother is all ears."
This girl doesn't just call him "brother" casually; if she does, she has her own ulterior motives.
He didn't believe the girl was so kind; he had a lot of calligraphy and paintings piled up there, as well as herbal medicine diagrams sent by Old Master Chu, and some medical questions.
He had been trying to figure out how to get her to make up for those things, and now that she wasn't short of money, it was just that he hadn't found an opportunity yet.
Dongfang Jin then told him everything she had been thinking.
Lu Yunqing listened to her words and fell into deep thought: "This is the first time I've heard what you're saying, but now that you mention it, there are indeed problems here."
Leaving aside other places, the shantytowns at Dongcheng Wharf alone are a problem; the few snowfalls since the beginning of winter have caused many houses to collapse.
But according to what you've said, this is no small project.
Dongfang Jin thought of the Zhang family's house: "Wasn't the Zhang family's house confiscated now?"
The Zhang family must own quite a few houses in that area, right? If possible, could you separate the Zhang family's seven-courtyard compound?
This way, you can divide the property into many separate households. You can rent out these houses instead of selling them, keep a portion of the money, and hand over one portion to the national treasury.
Back then, the Zhang family relied on his bandit brother to acquire a lot of land in the eastern district.
Putting everything else aside, you could easily create a separate garden for people to enjoy by simply removing the east-facing wall.
The dock, what kind of place is that? So many people come and go from north to south.
You could say there are all sorts of people here, and for this extra empty space, I'll give you two options.
After listening to her analysis, Lu Yunqing realized that it was indeed true. Although the Zhang family's house was large, each courtyard was quite spacious.
If each courtyard were separated into several smaller courtyards, there would be quite a bit of extra space.
The better courtyards could be rented to wealthy businessmen, while the older ones could be used as temporary accommodations for people from the shantytowns.
Once the shantytown renovation is completed...
It works! Brilliant plan!
"Tell me your plan quickly," Lu Yunqing asked urgently.
Dongfang Jin took a sip of the tea that Gu Chenglin had poured for her: "First, you can hold a public land auction. The land belongs to the other party, and regardless of whether they build a restaurant or something else, you only need to collect the land fee and taxes."
Secondly, you can build standardized houses at your own expense and rent them out, collecting only rent. Taxes can be exempted or reduced by half, which you can decide for yourself.
So, what do you think? The first one is quick and hassle-free. The second one is a steady, long-term income.
However, my personal suggestion is that you choose the first option, because your term as county magistrate is about to expire, and leaving will have advantages…”
Needless to say, she was essentially a stepping stone for someone else's benefit.
Old house renovations can be completed in three years in a tight schedule, but the profits go to someone else.
He knows this himself and can calculate it.
As Dongfang Jin spoke, Lu Yunqing immediately pictured the terrain of the Dongcheng area in her mind.
His hands trembled with excitement: "Go on, we'll decide which one to choose in a bit."
Dongfang Jin didn't stand on ceremony and continued, "Then there's the dock, which is too dilapidated now."
If you have the energy, you can rebuild a dock. Isn't the river at its lowest point now? You can…”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunqing stood up excitedly: "Build a bridge? Is the cement really as strong as you say?"
Dongfang Jin pointed to Long Jiu, who was eating an apple: "Look, he has successfully fired it. Aren't the mountains north of Yunwu Mountain all rocky mountains?"
The rocks in those mountains are the main raw material for making cement; limestone, clay, and volcanic ash are all raw materials for cement.
Gu Chenglin...
How come he doesn't know!
Yes, he didn't even know about such a big thing!
His wife didn't tell him, and neither did that bastard Long Jiu!
