Regarding Liu Ruyi's speed of learning Tai Chi, Li Yi no longer knows what words to use to describe it.
He was able to master it in a very short period of time because he had a heaven-defying cheating device, but Liu Ruyi, only after he taught it twice and corrected a few movements, he was able to perform almost standard Tai Chi.
Although there are still some flaws to some extent, but he is beautiful and tall, and more importantly, he has a strong foundation in martial arts, and the movements he makes are much better than Li Yi.
This made Li Yi, who was standing aside, sigh in his heart. These actions are indeed different when women do them...
Whether it is practical or not, at least it looks extremely seductive.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, making it impossible for Li Yi to enjoy it so peacefully.
His voice didn't sound like Lao Fang's. The way he knocked on the door was much rougher than this, and it wasn't Liu Ruyi. The second lady never had to knock on the door when she came back, just fly in from the outside.
Li Yi walked over, opened the door, and saw two middle-aged men standing behind the door with smiles on their faces.
Seeing the two of them, Li Yi was stunned for a moment. The face of the visitor was a little familiar. He should have seen it before coming here. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was last night when the two of them gave some egg mooncakes and the like. He sent Xiaohuan away.
As for the identities of the two, they seem to be some uncle of sister Liu Ruyi, who belong to the direct line.
Since the Liu family settled here, it has been passed down for generations, and the two daughters have quite a few uncles.
To say that the ability of the old Liu family to have sons is not covered. It is said that Liu Ruyi’s grandfather had five brothers, and the five of them branched out and gave birth to a bunch of sons. They are the uncles of Liu Ruyi’s sisters. .
On the contrary, the direct line only passed down the line of Liu Ruyi's father, and there were only two girls in the next generation.
"Fourth Uncle, Seventh Uncle, what's the matter?"
Although they have never been on good terms with these people, as a junior, there are still some etiquettes that one should have. Liu Ruyi walked over and saluted the two of them.
"Go in and talk, go in and talk..." Seeing that Li Yi and Liu Ruyi didn't seem to want to invite them in, they said with a dry laugh.
…
…
"I don't know what the Fourth Uncle and the Seventh Uncle are here for?" A moment later, in the room, Liu Ruyi looked at the two and asked again.
Most of these uncles and their sisters are not on good terms with each other, and the two of them graciously delivered things here yesterday, which already surprised her deeply.
Today, when I visited again, it seemed that something really happened.
There was hesitation on the faces of the two of them, and then a flash of determination flashed in their eyes immediately. They took out a few yellowed papers from their arms and put them on the table in front of them.
"Fourth Uncle, what does this mean?" Liu Ruyi looked at the things on the table, then turned to look at him, a hint of doubt finally appeared in her beautiful eyes.
When my father was there, the village was originally one, but when he had an accident, those uncles immediately clamored to separate the family. The two sisters were still young at that time, and almost all the things that should have belonged to them were taken away. Let's go, the other party didn't show any sympathy at that time, why did he change his temper now
The middle-aged man with a slight beard on the left side said: "Ruyi, we were wrong about the previous things. These land deeds were supposed to belong to you and Ruyi when the family was separated. Please accept them." .”
"Fourth Uncle, what do you have to say, just say it." Of course Liu Ruyi didn't think that they suddenly realized that they wanted to return the things they took away before, so that they could do something like this, there must be a bigger conspiracy .
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, and then said again: "Since Ruyi said so, then I'll just say it... You know, the past two years have been bad, and life at home has been really hard. These days, I'm afraid it will be difficult even to eat... You see, the candied haws made by my uncle, the business is so good, can we, can we..."
The meaning of the middle-aged man's words is already obvious.
Although the candied haws business is good, people only look for the Liu's candied haws sold by Lao Fang and the others. The business of other vendors is still poor.
If they also want to make a fortune from the candied haws, even if they get the secret recipe, without their approval and without the name of the Liu family, the profit will still be pitifully small.
If they can get their consent to start the candied haws business, then these lands are nothing at all.
The land in the village is not considered fertile land in the first place. When the year is better, the production can probably meet the needs of life. If there is a disaster year like last year, there will be almost no food for the whole year, and the land will have a fart...
If they had known that Ruyi would be able to snatch such a son-in-law in a few years, where would there be the family separation incident back then, they would have been able to curry favor with the two sisters, and they would have desperately curry favor.
"Sister, you can make up your mind about this matter." Liu Ruyi didn't answer them, but turned to look at Li Yi and said.
He was the one who was doing the matter about the candied haws from the beginning to the end, and Liu Ruyi never asked about it. At this time, naturally, he would not make the decision for him.
In fact, Li Yi had roughly understood the intentions of Liu Ruyi and other uncles last night.
The status of Liu's candied haws in Qing'an Prefecture is roughly equivalent to that of the "Old Beijing Candied Haws" in later generations.
Looking back at the two of them, a smile appeared on his face, "Fourth Uncle... Seventh Uncle, right?"
"Hey..." The two of them knew in their hearts that whether they can succeed today depends on the scholar in front of them, and they hurriedly responded, with even more kind smiles on their faces.
Li Yi hesitated, showing a thoughtful look, and said, "It's not impossible for you to sell candied haws under the banner of the Liu family, but..."
"Just what?" The two asked immediately after hearing the words.
"It's just that you can only join in." Li Yi looked at them and said.
"What do you mean... joining?"
The two looked at each other, and asked Li Yi in a daze.
Even Liu Ruyi's beautiful eyes showed a trace of doubt, obviously it was the first time he heard this word.
"The meaning of joining is very simple, that is, we can agree with you to sell candied haws under the banner of Liu's, but we will take 50% of the daily profit." Li Yi looked at them and said.
The banner of Liu's candied haws is not so easy to get out. It is unrealistic to ask them to pay a huge franchise fee first. Explaining to them the franchise concept of future generations is also playing the piano with the cow, and it can only be used in this simple and rude way.
"Fifty percent!"
The two exclaimed at the same time, this number is really too much for them to bear.
Half of the hard-earned money will be shared by others, and no one is willing to exchange it.
"Grandpa, fifty percent, isn't that too much?" Liu's Fourth Uncle looked at Li Yi and asked with some difficulty.
Li Yi smiled and said nothing, saying that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.
After bullying my wife and sister-in-law for so many years, it's time to pay back some interest.
"Let us consider this matter."
Li Yi smiled and watched the two walk outside the door, waiting patiently.
After a while, the two walked in again.
After the fourth uncle thought about it, he said, "Fifty percent, that's too much. We'll think about it when we go back, and we'll give you an answer tomorrow."
He is obviously very unwilling to hand over half of the profits to others. After the discussion between the two of them just now, after they go back, they will unite with other direct clansmen to put pressure on them. It would be best if the franchise fee can be waived , if it doesn't work, it is not impossible to consider reducing the exemption to half.
After speaking, he turned around and walked out the door.
"Ruyi, uncle, without your consent, I won't earn 50%... 50% is 50%, I agree." Liu's fourth uncle stepped out of the door with one foot, and Lao Qi's familiar voice came from behind.
boom!
Fourth Uncle Liu stumbled on the threshold, his body flew forward half a zhang, and landed heavily, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Hey, fourth master, why do you give such a big gift?"
Not far in front of him, Lao Fang stood there, looked at the scene in front of him, and opened his mouth in astonishment.
