Chapter 730: Chapter 504: Doing Business

However, Wei Ziang slightly shook his head; he wasn’t interested in doing business.

Seeing this, Liu Ze nodded: "Dad, that’s not a problem. You all can focus on your own tasks, and I’ll manage the shop."

Perhaps it was because the family has always been in business, he learned from an early age, and now has entered the trade himself, making him quite adept at it.

Actually, when he saw all sorts of things in the Xiaomi space, various ideas and methods for making money sprang to his mind like a fountain.

Fortunately, he wasn’t a greedy person; although he had many ideas, they were merely thoughts.

Even when he saw Jiang Hu and Jiang Wei almost finishing the scooters, he said nothing.

If Jiang Hu hadn’t brought it up, he wouldn’t have taken any initiative.

Of course, since Dad and his little brother were interested, he naturally wouldn’t pretend to decline.

As long as the dividend and contract are written well, everything else can be handed over to him.

Wei Ziang smiled and said: "Although making a scooter isn’t easy, for carpenters, it’s not particularly hard either. Ze-ge, you might as well find good craftsmen to make more of them first, then sell the first batch at a high price. This way, when others start to imitate them, and they are everywhere, Dad and Xiao Wei will have come up with something new."

There are many toys in Xiaomi space but making them with carpentry isn’t that simple.

Dad and Xiao Wei could directly refer to the physical object, come up with ideas, then draw blueprints, and teach other craftsmen to produce them in large quantities.

Liu Ze nodded: "I thought the same; skilled craftsmen are indeed capable, they can figure out how to make them just by taking two apart, and if we don’t act fast, soon we won’t earn much."

Wei Ziang chuckled, saying no more; Liu Ze was far superior in business and needed no outside advice.

Soon, the steward came over, saying Steward Li delivered some fresh crabs in the morning, but he wasn’t sure if they were to everyone’s liking, so he didn’t know whether to prepare them or not.

Xiaomi immediately stated that she liked them; how could they not like these purely natural and non-polluted sea crabs!

The ones in her space were all frozen goods and couldn’t compare to the fresh sea crabs!

Moreover, Xiaomi said that as long as they’re non-toxic, there’s no need to ask too much; just prepare them.

The steward took the command and left, and soon, a fragrance wafted from the kitchen.

Alongside the spicy sea crabs for lunch, there were other shellfish in a spicy flavor, which Xiaomi enjoyed immensely.

Besides crabs and shellfish, there were sea fish, which were more tender compared to those from the river.

Previously, when they were in Xiaomi space, Ling’er, seemingly showing off, had also prepared quite a few seafood; besides crab shells, they even had lobster, king crab, sea cucumber, and abalone for everyone.

Basically, anything common found in the space had been prepared by Ling’er. Considering these mere little sea crabs was no big deal.

So, seeing everyone calmly eating the crabs, even using the crab opening tools deftly, surprised the serving maids waiting nearby.

Though Yuquan County was far away, they knew of Farmer Marquis’ affairs; the fields outside town were full of the rice he introduced.

Regarding Farmer Marquis’ deeds, they naturally have heard of them.

They originally thought he was just an ordinary farmer, secretly gossiping before seeing him today; surprisingly, each one was handsome, beautiful, and had an extraordinary bearing.

Not the mud-legged people rumors mentioned, they were wholly scholarly, from generations of wealthy families!

And now, considering the crabs being transported to the Capital City, it wasn’t impossible, but the survival rate was exceptionally low, barely one or two out of ten would survive.

Mostly sent as tributes to the palace, ordinary people wanted to try these, but it was near impossible.

Yet, Farmer Marquis and his family were not at all surprised, and even ate skillfully; in the Capital City, might they eat these often?

That’s extravagant!

Everyone, from the serving maids to the steward, thought so!

Nevertheless, the Jiang family was indifferent; after the meal and some rest, they planned to walk around the city for a look in the afternoon.

Regarding finding suitable shipbuilding sites along the coast, only Xiaomi and Wei Ziang could handle it; the others couldn’t help much, planning to familiarize themselves with Yuquan County and its surroundings before making any decisions.

But just as they were about to head out, the steward hurried in.

"Lord Marquis, Lord County Magistrate has arrived, with Steward Li."

"County Magistrate?" Jiang Hu was puzzled for a moment: "Yuquan County’s County Magistrate?"

The steward quickly nodded: "Yes, he’s currently having tea in the outer hall."

Jiang Hu was a bit perplexed about the County Magistrate’s visit, but nodded nevertheless: "Alright, I’ll go and see."

Wei Ziang followed along: "Dad, I’ll go with Xiao Wei."

Originally not intending to go out and waiting for the County Magistrate to leave, Jiang Wei was taken aback: "Me? Why should I go?"

Liu Ze laughed: "Just go; you’re just waiting here otherwise, it doesn’t hurt to go and have a look."

Jiang Wei reluctantly agreed: "Alright then."

Seeing Jiang Wei reluctantly follow along, Liu Ze shook his head: "Xiao Wei is too reserved, always absorbed in things he likes, not having any interest in other matters."

Previously, they had their eldest brother, so the family didn’t need to worry. Now, with him away, Ziang was the pillar of the family, hence why Ziang went with them.

Dad was indeed simple-minded; although he had some schemes and caution, it wasn’t much, compared to those sly old foxes in officialdom, their dad was just like a little white rabbit.

No matter what the County Magistrate came for today, Wei Ziang going along could prevent Jiang Hu from falling into any traps.

But after all, Ziang was an adopted son; the real Princely Heir was Jiang Wei, whether Xiao Wei liked it or not; some things needed to be learned.

One thing not to worry about though, Ziang would always remain with the Jiang family; barring unforeseen circumstances, he certainly wouldn’t leave.

With Ziang overseeing, that’s why their eldest brother could leave assuredly.

Clear-sighted people could discern Wei Ziang’s intentions, Xiaomi sympathetically watching Xiao Wei’s back: "Xiao Wei’s enjoyed peace for eighteen years; now it’s indeed time to take the lead."

Xiao Xue also chuckled: "Before, with Eldest Brother around, but now he’s not home, naturally, it should be Xiao Wei."

Although living with her mother’s family, Xiao Xue knew she was married, a daughter-in-law of the Liu family.

She didn’t interfere with family matters much, staying unobtrusive.

Second Aunt sipped tea beside, listening to the sisters’ chatter and said with a smile: "Xiao Wei’s indeed not young anymore, nothing much to worry about, whether grandfather’s title matters or not."

"I think, letting Xiao Wei go out more, maybe he’ll meet a girl he likes; he’s not young anymore, and he’s yet to find someone."

"Mom, Xiao Wei is only eighteen, why rush? Xiao Wei looks decent and can earn a living; surely he won’t struggle to find a wife."

"No matter how handsome, staying home all day isn’t going to find anyone. I say, since there isn’t any land now, Ze’er, when setting up shops, take Xiao Wei along, let him experience the world."

"Alright Mom, starting tomorrow, I’ll take him along."
