Seventy-three
Seeing so much money, Xu Boyan was shocked and said: "This, this, this ready-to-wear can also be sold for money, and it can be sold for so much money?" He thought that the second child had sent back all the money he had sold, but he didn't expect that this was only half of it.
Mrs. Xu was startled at first, then quickly regained her composure and asked, "Then what are you going to do next?"
"My son thinks that this garment shop is more profitable than the silk village, so he naturally wants to continue to operate, but this person who makes clothes is not enough......" Xu Zhongyan replied honestly.
"Manpower?" Xu Boyan was dazzled by the silver in front of him, and said: "It's not easy to get manpower, let's go directly to the countryside to recruit dozens of his ladies." ”
Mrs. Xu glared at her eldest son, then looked at her second son and said, "It was Eleven Niang's idea to make ready-to-wear clothes at the beginning, but now what does Eleven Niang say about this?"
Xu Zhongyan said: "I also talked to Eleven Niang before I came, she said that we can succeed this time, we will win in a 'new' word, others do not have, we have, so we won, but this kind of business can be done for a while, and it will not work for a long time, because many people will imitate it in the future, so no matter what we do in the future, the most basic point must be done, that is, the quality, so the embroidery must be good." ”
"Eleven Niang is a little girl, but she can see far. After speaking, he didn't look at the two brothers and asked, "Then what do you think?"
Xu Zhongyan said: "My son is thinking, didn't Xie Mansion and Liufu originally make silk like our family?
"The son heard that in order to repay the money, the two families sold all the silk and satin villages, leaving only a hundred acres of land, and the servants in the family were sent to the grange to be tenant farmers.
"I think it's feasible, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, Zhong Yan, you and I will go to these two mansions to ask now. After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she was about to get up and say.
Xu Boyan on the side stepped forward to support her and asked, "Mother, what about me?"
Mrs. Xu patted his hand and said, "How can there be no one to preside over this family, Zhong Yan and I are gone, naturally you stay and watch, you have to take good care of those juniors at home, don't let them go crazy." ”
"Yes, Mother. Xu Boyan said helplessly.
The two families did not have any other income except farming, so for the proposal of the Xu Mansion, the Liu Xie family was almost a little grateful to Dade, so there was no disagreement, and the Xu Mansion reached an intention with the two families.
In the evening, Mrs. Xu called Xu Zhongyan into the room and asked him, "I tasted the peanut oil you brought back last time, it's really good, do you plan to plant it next year?"
That thing has been called ground fruit oil before, and Eleven Niang was afraid that she would leak her mouth, so she proposed to change the name of this thing to peanut oil, and everyone thought the name was good, so they adopted it. squeezed eight catties of oil for the first time, and later Xu Zhongyan asked Xu Daquan to pick up another sack of peanut kernels, squeezed more than 50 catties of oil, and let people give thirty catties to the old house.
"Mother, that's natural, Eleven Niang, this little girl, the head of melon seeds is very good, grow a snack to eat, can also squeeze out oil, this peanut yield is much stronger than sesame, an acre of land can produce more than 500 catties, an acre of sesame seeds can only produce 80 catties, or a first-class farmland, so I and Eleven Niang plan to plant more of this stuff next year. ”
Mrs. Xu looked at him calmly and said, "How much money did you keep for yourself this time to sell ready-to-wear clothes?"
"Mother, you, you, why are you asking this?" Xu Zhongyan asked pretending to be nervous.
Mrs. Xu glanced at him angrily and said, "Forget it, I won't ask in detail, you have today, which is a big surprise to me." As soon as the conversation changed, she said again: "However, you peanuts, you can't go back to Shangyuan County to plant!"
"Mother, why is this?" Xu Zhongyan asked puzzled.
"One is because of the Li family, the Li family wants to be the only one in Shangyuan County, he wants to be the boss, let's let him do it, you have split up in one room, go to Fucheng, how to make money in business, it is not about Shangyuan County, but if you use the Xu family's fields to plant those things, you must know that those fields are now owned by your eldest brother, and when the harvest comes, I am afraid that the Li family will feel that it is an eyesore, and with the Li family's people, we will not be able to bear it!"
Mrs. Xu paused and continued: "The second is because of my own brothers, I have lived for most of my life, and I have seen too many of these things, and between brothers, I am most afraid of unclear property entanglements, so I don't want me to be gone in the future, and you two brothers are strangers for property." ”
"Mother-my son won't fight with his eldest brother!"
Mrs. Xu shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid that you will fight with the eldest brother, I'm afraid-" Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu still didn't point it out directly, but said: " You don't have a son-in-law, Eleven Niang is a daughter, so, the things that should be divided still have to be distinguished, you also have a family now, then go to other counties to buy a little more land, Eleven Niang's side, that little Nizi is also a little rich woman, if she wants to buy, you also help her palm the eyes, others, you are a smart person, the mother is not verbose, but you have to remember one thing, no matter how close the relationship, the property must be separated, the same is true for the fourth room, you know?"
"Yes, mother!" Xu Zhongyan said.
Mrs. Xu waved her hand and motioned for him to go down first, and then she continued to sit in her chair in contemplation.
The boss ignored her opposition and borrowed money from the Li Mansion privately, which really broke her heart, she used to think that this son was just wooden, but he was not good at words, and his heart was still good, but he didn't expect to have such a big idea in his heart, and then when he couldn't pay back the money, what did he do? On the contrary, it is the innocent second room and the fourth room, trying their best to help, seeing the fate of Wenfu, she is even more cold to this son, the eldest daughter-in-law seems to be weak, but this is only the surface, she actually has no heart, if she has a heart, she can often ask about the kitchen matters, how can the food in the second and fourth rooms be deducted like this, not to mention the two rooms, and even the food of the four ladies are deducted, will these eldest daughters-in-law not know? Coupled with that restless Aunt Lin, in the future, this family really doesn't know what will happen.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu's heart became more and more irritable.
Seeing that Mrs. Xu's face was not very good-looking, Mama Yu came over with a small box and said, "Mrs. Tai, do you want to read the letter for a while?" When the second master came back, he brought a letter for Miss Eleven. ”
