Chapter 5 Gimmick Sake
It is said that what kind of master there is, what kind of slave there is. Yun Wuniang is used to picking the door herself, so she raises the girls tricky. Only when you take advantage of others, you feel uncomfortable when you suffer a loss.
But in the end, it's just some vegetables. This is still the method she came up with when she was seven or eight years old. Others made flowers and plants, but she made a yard of vegetables and vegetables. It's not really your own that is more delicate than Zhuangzi, but the people who serve these things are all girls who are water and spirit. In addition to the rough work of turning the ground and fattening it to the mother-in-law, other things, from planting to picking, were done by Yun Wuniang with the girls. There is work to do, and Yun Wuniang has more rewards for the girls, how can the girls not be happy.
The biggest difference is that Yun Wuniang picked the fertilizer into the house after letting people match it outside the house, and when she entered the house, she looked at the black soil, and there was no strange smell at all. This is obviously different from Zhuangzi growing vegetables and making those things that are extremely pickled in the eyes of the nobles.
In the words of the house, it looks clean.
The fields planted are clean, and the people who plant are cleaner.
It's similar to the commercial gimmick of selling tea, and they also claim that their tea is picked by the mouth of a teenage girl, and even more fragrantly, it is plucked by mouth and put on the chest.
In order to make her things more expensive, such a gimmick is indispensable.
Think about what is not in the Guogong Mansion. Who cares about those dishes. Even if the days are tight, I can still touch some fresh vegetables from the hot spring village every once in a while.
But if you want to be as 'clean' as Tian Yunyuan, then there is nowhere to find it. Because it is not only the girl who grows vegetables, but also the daughter of the Guogong Mansion. There are girls with a higher status than Yun Wuniang, but who of these girls can look down on this marriage. The identity is not as good as Yun Wuniang's, even if it is planted well, it is not expensive. Yun Wu Niang herself is an excellent gimmick.
In addition, in order to raise the value of vegetables, she wants to irrigate well water and river water. The seedlings were sprinkled with spring water brought from outside the city, and some fruits, such as strawberries, were mixed with milk.
Even the seeds are made in glazed agate bowls, and the water used to soak seeds is the dew harvested on the lotus leaves last summer.
Dried vegetables are even more particular, take dried eggplants as an example, they all choose tender eggplants that are only the size of a child's fist, pick them to soak in the well water that they bring up at noon, and then cut them into strips, put them in a silver grate, and put them under the rose stand to dry. There are not many eggplants dried like this a year, so can it not be expensive? Whose farmer can toss like this, who is willing to pick off the eggplant that is growing, isn't this a bad thing. But Yun Wuniang gave the eggplant a higher value.
Actually, eggplant is eggplant. No matter how much you toss it, it's also an eggplant.
No matter how ordinary things are, they can't withstand the exquisite packaging and momentum!
Anyway, after several years, Yun Wuniang feels that her business hype is successful.
In Yun Wuniang's words, this is not a dish, but an artistic conception and taste.
As the saying goes, 'don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of fine', from the step of planting, Yun Wu Niang is the first one.
The sweet potatoes in the brazier are ripe and have a strong sweet smell. Yun Wuniang pulled out the black charcoal block with fire chopsticks, and couldn't help sighing.
No one is born to pick on the door. There's really no way around it. She was different from the other girls in the house. Let's say that she is noble, in the end, it came out of the belly of the concubine. Let's say that she is a concubine, and her mother's identity is a fate. The third wife is only a six-grade fate, not as high as her mother's concubine. If she doesn't have self-esteem and self-respect, others will look down on her even more, so she will inevitably be labeled as 'not on the stage', and she will have to be nagged by others.
She has to not steal the limelight from her daughter-in-law, and she has to be different from other concubines, which is not easy to handle.
This home is far more complicated than it seems. And this Guogong Mansion is far from being as solid as it seems. She had to leave a way out for herself. But no matter what you do, you can't do without silver.
His own brother has 500 acres of Zhuangzi in his hands. It was recorded in my brother's name when he was taken out of the house. In the eyes of the common people, 500 acres is the landlord, but when the Guogong Mansion was at its peak, this was a small Zhuangzi who could not be smaller. This is why many people later praised Mrs. Kim as a proper person. This child is the seed of the Yun family, and accepting a small Zhuangzi is enough to raise the child for him to study and practice martial arts, which is the love of the bloodline. And this child is a concubine, and it is not recorded in the family tree. Therefore, she didn't ask for any money from the Guogong Mansion. Over the years, Zhuangzi's income has been saved, and all of it has been purchased into fields. There are not two thousand acres, and it is about the same. Anyway, Yun Wuniang knew that her brother had two shops in the capital. Although it is not a prosperous shop, it also has an income of 1,800 taels of silver a year. Coupled with the Grange's, my brother already has a lot of family business in his hands. This is the result of more than ten years of secret business by my mother.
If it was true that my brother stayed in the Guogong Mansion at the beginning, after the family was separated, if I wanted to get so much of my brother's property now, unless the Guogong Mansion was in its heyday. Otherwise, it would only be a three-entry house, a shop, and a thousand acres of land. As a grandchild, it's already good to be able to get a share of these.
Don't look at the beginning, there were only 500 acres, but the management right is in your own hands, which is different. You can make your own decisions.
Yun Wuniang has been very close to her brother in private over the years. For example, the allocation of fertilizer is done by the elder brother.
My brother is also good to her, jewelry, hairpin rings, and some gadgets, and I don't buy them for her. But Yun Wuniang has never taken her brother's silver. It's not that she's sharing it with her brother, it's her own money, and she doesn't know how to move it. How much money she collects in a year, no one in this house counts. It's one thing to have silver, it's another thing to buy a property privately with money. If you can spend your money and make money out of it, a fool will hold these things in his hands.
After thinking about it like this, the sweet potatoes over there were no longer hot, so the coriander wrapped the sweet potatoes in hemp paper and peeled off the black skin at one end. Revealing the yellow pulp.
Yun Wuniang took it and took a bite, it was pink and sweet. She advised: "Ming'er will send someone to the shop in the east of the city to hand over the big sweater clothes made for my brother, and let the shopkeeper hand them over." If it's cold today, I know that my brother is not lacking, but it's a good idea. "The shop in the east of the city is an industry of my brother, and the daughter-in-law married by the shopkeeper is the personal girl of my mother. It's a henchman among henchmen. If there is anything, leave it to him the safest. She corresponded with her brother, although she didn't avoid people, but she didn't make a noise. It's so confused, everyone pretends not to see it.
Coriander answered loudly. These girls, who dare to follow a master with all their hearts, also know it in their hearts. There is a brother here, whether he is in the house or not, his bloodline is there. Whenever, the girl has something to rely on. In addition, this young master is much more productive than a few people in the mansion.
The red pepper had already shrunk on the kang, roasted chestnuts in a charcoal basin for Yun Wuniang, and said with a smile: "The girl is the most shrewd, two cotton jackets, and I don't know how many good things I can exchange for Young Master Yuan." ”
The elder brother is still surnamed Yun, called Yun Jiayuan. Not changing the surname is the only condition put forward by the Guogong Mansion when leaving the government. Nowadays, when I mention my brother, I am called Young Master Yuan. Because my brother has no teeth in the Yun family.
Yun Wuniang couldn't help laughing when she heard Red Pepper's words. Anyway, it's yourself every time you take advantage. In fact, Yun Wuniang knew that many of the things given by her brother were purchased by her mother.
The mother is in the Yanxia Mountain's Qixiang Temple to lead the practice. But Yanxia Mountain is the mother's industry. On your own turf, why can't you do it?
Out of the capital to the north, you can reach Yanxia Mountain in one hour. My brother's Zhuangzi is at the foot of Yanxia Mountain, and now, the mother and son's industries are only connected.
Over the years, although I haven't seen my mother and brother in person, I know from their attitudes that I am extremely concerned about her.
Yun Wuniang was glad more than once that she was not dazzled by her mother-in-law's methods, otherwise she would really treat her relatives as enemies.
If it's really an ordinary child, think about the Kim family's unrelenting departure, and don't care about it all these years, you can't hate it to death.
A room full of girls said lively, and Edamame Ha came in.
"Girl, there's a visitor. Edamame looked outside and whispered.
As soon as I saw the appearance of edamame, I knew that it was not the master who came, but the girl sent by the master.
Yun Wuniang instructed Zi Qi to take the spring leek to entertain, but she was wrapped in the quilt and did not move.
No, the two of them stayed outside for most of the hour, and people came and went.
Yun Wuniang memorized two pages of the book, and the two of them came in. It turned out that they were all given as gifts because of eating wontons.
"The eldest lady gave two pairs of sleeves made of white fox skin, which were just right for the past two days. ”
The eldest lady is the eldest aunt Bai. Although it is a long house, it is the head of the house. Although he is the eldest son of Grandpa Guo, Yun Shunzhong, the eldest uncle of Yun, has passed away for many years. This eldest aunt has a son and a daughter under her knees, and her son is the eldest young master of the Yun family, Uncle Yun Jiahe, who is eighteen years old this year. As soon as he got the fame of lifting people, he was about to say goodbye, so he caught up with the national filial piety. The daughter is the eldest granddaughter of the entire Guogong Mansion, the eldest girl Yun Yuanniang, Yuan Niang was already in time last year, she is sixteen this year, and now she is October, and she will be seventeen after the New Year. A seventeen-year-old girl, not young. I haven't said kiss, and I don't know what the house is planning. After all, several princes in the palace are all old.
Yun Wuniang retracted her thoughts, and listened to Chun Leek say: "Uncle said, I missed our girl's good things." Let's send a few good pine smoke ink. ”
Yun Wuniang nodded, this eldest brother is a scholar, and the things he gives away are pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. She's used to it. asked, "What about the eldest sister?" ”
The eldest sister is not referring to Yun Shuangniang, the eldest daughter of the second room, but the Yuan Niang of the big room. The children in several rooms are placed together for the teeth.
