The mother-in-law and aunt of the old Fang's family can actually be regarded as a strange woman.
Usually, she looks like a simple peasant woman, but when she beats up Lao Fang, she immediately becomes a generation of heroines, and Li Yi can feel the strong murderous spirit from a long distance away.
Although Lao Fang looked troubled today, his face was not bruised or purple. Presumably it wasn't because of his shrewd wife at home.
Lao Fang shook his head, saying that he got along very well with his mother-in-law and aunt at home today, and sat down beside Li Yi.
"Then there is a problem with the candied haws business." Li Yi slapped a mosquito that just landed on his arm to death, and said, "Why, have many people on the street imitated our candied haws?"
"How does uncle know!"
Lao Fang jumped up from the ground suddenly, and looked at Li Yi in surprise, as if he had seen a ghost.
Li Yi flicked away the dead mosquito in his hand, and pointed forward. Lao Fang looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a few people with candied haws racks on their shoulders, walking past the two of them. At that time, he glanced at Li Yi and Lao Fang a few times, with a look of complacency on his face.
"Pooh!"
The old man spat fiercely at the backs of several people, and cursed: "Shameless guy, this idea was clearly thought up by my uncle, why should they sell candied haws!"
If there was such a thing as patents in this world, Lao Fang would have been unable to resist going to the government to sue them.
These are all people directly related to the Liu family. At first they looked down on Lao Fang and the others for not doing business and doing crooked ways, even selling candied haws. I haven't seen each other for a few days, and after realizing that even the children of Lao Fang's family have grown stronger, everyone realized that what Lao Fang and the others did was probably a job to earn money!
No one has trouble with money. People who were still secretly despising Lao Fang and the others followed suit in a few days and started selling candied haws.
The method of making candied haws is really simple, and everything can be understood at a glance, so, overnight, there are several more candied haws workshops in the village.
Although they didn't learn some of Li Yi's unique secret skills, it wouldn't have much impact if the taste was a little off.
For their way of not wanting Bilian, Lao Fang was extremely resentful.
But it can only be anger, after all, there is no law in Jingguo that clearly stipulates that they cannot sell candied haws, which is what makes Lao Fang depressed.
"I'm afraid they are not the only ones to imitate?" Li Yi asked again.
Lao Fang once again looked at Li Yi with a surprised look. Knowing the world without going out, he felt more and more unpredictable. He nodded and said: "Since a few days ago, there have been more and more people selling candied haws on the street. Well, we used to be able to sell out all the candied haws in less than an hour, but today we have been yelling for a whole day, and the remaining half have not been sold.”
The business of candied haws carries Lao Fang's lofty ideals, a beautiful wife and concubine, and a big house. Now the hope is ruthlessly extinguished just as it sprouted. The sadness in it is really beyond words.
The occurrence of such a situation did not exceed Li Yi's expectations, on the contrary, these things were all within his expectations.
Never underestimate the ability of human beings to imitate, not to mention candied haws, which have no technical content. After seeing the business opportunities contained in it, it is not surprising that so many people follow suit.
Li Yi didn't plan to do the candied haws business for the rest of his life, but so far, there is still a lot of profit to be made in this business. Looking up at the big man surnamed Fang, he sighed and said, "Old Fang, I said How many times have you done things, you can't do things recklessly, you have to use your brains, not only will you not be able to marry a beautiful concubine, you will never even think about buying a big house... "
Lao Fang's face turned red, he looked around for a few times, but he didn't find his mother-in-law, so he stared and said: "Who wants to marry a concubine, I have my mother-in-law and aunt is enough!"
It seems impossible to expect Lao Fang to use his brain to find a solution. Li Yi waved to him helplessly, and said, "Come here, next, you are going to do this..."
Old Fang was overjoyed, and hurriedly put his ears together.
After a while, Lao Fang looked at Li Yi blankly, speechless for a long time.
Looking at Li Yi, and then at himself, Lao Fang started to have a question in his heart.
They are also raised by their parents, why is there such a big gap between people!
"I think... uncle is not a good thing..."
Thinking of what Li Yi said to him just now, Lao Fang gave Li Yi a thumbs up with a look of admiration.
"roll!"
Li Yi kicked Lao Fang's ass, this guy even praised people... so unique!

In the next few days, many people in the village took selling candied haws as their main business.
However, after a few days, everyone found that the business of candied haws was getting harder and harder every day.
There is no other reason, because there are more and more hawkers selling candied haws every day.
They can be found on every street in Qing'an Prefecture. With such fierce competition and the fact that their candied haws are not very outstanding, the business will naturally get worse and worse. In the end, only a few can be sold a day. string…
Later, I don’t know when, the number of vendors selling candied haws on the street suddenly decreased at an alarming rate, because they couldn’t buy hawthorn fruit anymore!
When they asked the hawkers who sold hawthorn fruit, they learned from them that just a few days ago, the hawthorn fruit in the entire Qing'an Prefecture City was bought at a low price, that is to say, within a short period of time, They couldn't find hawthorn to make candied haws!
This situation didn't last long. Just two days later, there were a few more vendors with a large amount of hawthorn fruit in the city, which naturally quickly aroused people's looting.
Although the price of these hawthorn fruits is more than three times higher than before, there is still a certain profit to be made after making them into candied haws.
Everyone scolded those simple-looking guys in their hearts, who first hoarded the goods, and then took the opportunity to increase the price of hawthorn fruit, but they could only grit their teeth and buy them.
After all, this is the only place in town that sells hawthorn...
However, in this way, the competition between these people has also increased. Since the first person started to lower the price in order to sell more, the price of candied haws has plummeted until you can buy a bunch of candied haws for a penny. , The profit of this line has also reached freezing point.
It was also at this time that a new type of candied haws suddenly appeared in the city, triggering a rush to buy them again.
The raw material of this candied haws is not hawthorn, but fresh seasonal fruit. It is cut into small pieces, wrapped in icing sugar and strung together. It is more delicious than candied haws made from hawthorn.
This kind of Liu's candied haws quickly became popular in the city of Qing'an Prefecture. Interested people noticed that the earliest candied haws in the city were made by these people.
And their candied haws are better than other hawkers in terms of taste.
This kind of brand effect makes it difficult for Liu's candied haws to pose a threat to Liu's candied haws even if some people follow the example of the new style of candied haws. Those honest and honest faces seem to have become the symbol of authentic candied haws in Qing'an Prefecture.

crunch!
Li Yi had just finished teaching the children, and not long after he got home, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open from the outside, and Lao Fang and several men walked in with smiles on their faces.
