11. Lies
Guo Mianmian pretended not to see the depression in the eyes of the second brother, and said with a smile while shaking the deed paper: "This silver is earned by our family, and it is not surprising that Benxinzhai needs more and more flowers and sauce, and the second brother will be busy by then!" β
Guo Lin slammed his back and stammered: "Ye'er, you, your benefit, your benefit is to hand over this business to the second brother?" β
Guo Mianmian nodded with a smile, and looked at the second brother aggressively: "I'm a woman, it's not easy to come forward, this time I have to deal with Ben Xinzhai's cooperation, it's just right for you to leave this matter to the second brother." β
There are three men in the family who can handle things, and my father will not say that he is not suitable for dealing with people, the eldest brother's temperament is not tactful, and he is also suitable for doing business with people, but the second brother is porridge and deals with people, and his brain is also naΓ―ve and clever.
Guo Lin rubbed his hands excitedly, and the smirk on his face couldn't hide it: "Ye'er, you can rest assured that the second brother will not disappoint your expectations, and he will definitely do a good job in this business." β
Guo Mianmian nodded and gave the second brother a lot of trust: "Well, I'm optimistic about you!" β
Not to mention how happy Guo Lin was along the way, so that he went to the wrong fork in the road several times. As soon as he arrived home, he raised his eyebrows and told the news of his cooperation with Ben Xinzhai.
Even if they know that their daughter (sister) can't do things that they don't control, almost everyone has no hope that a jar of flower sauce that doesn't have much money can be sold for a penny.
Therefore, when they knew that the family would receive nearly two taels of silver every month in the future, the Guo family's first reaction was not to believe it.
It wasn't until Guo Mianmian took out the deed paper and read it out word by word that they believed that this was not a dream!
In addition to joy, there is no second word to describe the excitement of the Guo family!
Therefore, Guo Mianmian chose to sell flower sauce instead of using pastry technology to cooperate with Fang Zhishen, because the technical content of flower sauce is too low, and he knows the materials and materials, and he can make it after a few more tests.
Rather than speculate on the future of making a pastry business with flower sauce and being known, it is better for her to do it herself. Spread the word about the method of building it later, and at least she got the first pot of gold.
The process of making pastries is much more complicated, and it is difficult to figure it out by yourself without a hands-on teaching. Guo Mianmian also wants to open a pastry shop by herself in the future, so naturally she can't expose her eating skills too early, so that others can steal and cut off her own financial resources.
At the moment, I signed a three-year left coupon with Ben Xinzhai in one breath, no matter how long the construction method of the flower sauce can cover, the silver of these three years can be earned, and this business is earned by myself anyway!
In the following period, except for Kunkun and Xiaoshan, who couldn't walk far and couldn't help much, almost the whole Guo family went out to collect edible flowers all over the mountains.
With the help of plant colleagues, Guo Mianmian always found clusters of flowers in the col and canyon easily.
It's a warm and humid summer, and there are still many kinds of flowers blooming in the mountains. In addition to the wild roses that will dry up, wild moon flowers that are similar in color and shape to wild roses are very common, which is also a kind of flower collected by the Guo family.
In addition, there are many honeysuckles and jasmines, and even gardenias, which have a relatively modest development premise, can also be seen everywhere. These three plants are light in color but fragrant in taste, and the taste of flower paste is better than that of wild roses, and their medicinal effects are better than those of roses.
Near noon, the hungry Guo family temporarily stopped picking and gathered together to eat dry food.
After eating the coarse grain bun, Yu Shi poured a big mouthful of water, wiped the water stains that overflowed the corners of his mouth, looked at the bag of wild Yueji he collected, and said regretfully: "Alas, I knew that these things could be made into food and sold for money, so I should come to pick them at the beginning of spring." β
At the beginning of spring, the flowers are in full bloom, not to mention the large number, and the variety is also very rich, and at that time, I am afraid that there are more than three days of collection now.
"It's also that I didn't expect this stubble, and when the spring of the next year begins, we will seize the opportunity, even if we spend money to ask the villagers to help pick flowers, we must make the 240 catties that we need to provide for the year in advance."
Guo Mianmian also thought that the timing was not well controlled, but at that time she had just returned with Kunkun, and everything about the Guo family was not yet clear, where could she settle down and take the family to do business!
"It's hard to buy, we know that it's good that we can catch the summer and autumn seasons, and we can make a lot of money. If we increase the amount of this heart fast in the coming year, it will not be too late for us to ask someone to pick it. Mu Shi was very satisfied, and when she thought that she would be able to earn more than ten taels of silver in the next half a year, she was full of energy.
What's more, the family worked together to collect for a day or two, and the amount needed for a month came out, and the work of collecting flowers was much easier than farming, so she was happy to go up the mountain every day.
Yu and Liu, who were still distressed about the silver and wanted to veto the invitation, saw that their mother-in-law had spoken, and it was not easy to say anything more, so they calmly calculated the small account in their hearts, and found that they would only earn more silver no matter how they counted, and they were not distressed about asking for a small amount of money for a while.
Guo Shu, who didn't speak, pressed the question in his heart, so he took this opportunity to ask: "Mianmian, this flower sauce is not difficult to make, if the leader of Benxinzhai finds it out by himself, then our business is inconvenient, can we continue to do it?" β
This sorrow is also the sorrow of the rest of the Guo family, and colleagues invariably look at Guo Mianmian to see how she hopes.
Guo Mianmian didn't take this sorrow seriously, she pointed to the effect of the morning collection and smiled: "Let's not say when the leader of Fang will be able to make the flower sauce to my level, just the manpower and material resources to collect these flowers are not much cheaper than him paying silver to buy from our family, and he earns a lot of silver, so why make the process of making silver more complicated?" β
Guo Shu silently calculated in his heart, or why he was not safe. If it were him, he would have tried his best to figure out how to build flower sauce, and he would not have to worry about being constrained by it.
Guo Lin's thinking was much more naΓ―ve, and he said to the depressed eldest brother: "What about the leaders of the party learning to make sauce, we have signed a three-year left coupon, at least the silver of these three years can be earned, and when the time comes, there is a cost, and it is inconvenient for us to open a small shop and do business by ourselves?" β
And, my sister said that the business of this flower sauce will only get better and better, and the amount of money provided will get older and more, not to mention making a big fortune in three years, making a small fortune or okay. He didn't have much ambition, so he took advantage of this to make a small fortune and pushed his family's adobe house into a large tiled house, and was satisfied with eating pork twice a month.
"The second brother is right, regardless of whether this method of making sauce will be spread out, we can rest assured that we will earn the silver in the past three years." Guo Laoshi turned the corner, and the sorrow in his heart was gone.
Mu Shi and the others also nodded, although they thought that the method was passed out, it was a pity, this is also a matter of no way, when this great mountain and river has another dynasty, the method of making sauce will not cover it for a lifetime.
Without this layer of worry, the Guo family is also physically and mentally comfortable to work, and before the wild roses are finished, they have collected all the amounts of the first five months.
The villagers of Lijia Village saw that the Guo family, who had always been hard-working, really put down their work in the field and ran to the mountains to pick flowers, and when they were confused, they came to the door to find out the news.
Although the matter of doing business with Ben Xinzhai will spread sooner or later, the Guo family doesn't want to publicize it too much at the moment, so they treat everyone who comes to the door to ask questions, and they are confused with the three words "for eating".
This reason seems outrageous, but the villagers are not embarrassed to believe it. During the disaster years, even the soil was eaten, not to mention the wild flowers that tasted good and could not be painful.
There is that clever, vaguely guessing what the Guo family is going to do, so they also let the children in the family who have nothing to do to pick flowers, and when the time comes, how the Guo family will do it, they will follow it.
Picking flowers is much more boring than catching climbing monkeys, where are the children willing to pick flowers honestly. But if they don't do what they are told, the adults will condemn them, and these children will go to the mountains to accompany them and pick wild fruits under the pretext of picking flowers. Fortunately, they did not dare to go into the mountains alone, nor did they dare to go to the dangerous mountains, and nothing happened day by day.
Widow Li, who has never dealt with the Guo family, was entrusted by her son and paid close attention to the affairs of the Guo family. She thought that the Guo family's flower picking was very weird, in addition to chewing the root of her tongue in the village and scolding the Guo family for being a fool, she took advantage of a morning to go to the town and report the matter to Li Guigui, who had not returned for several days......
Since the last time Guo Mianmian was combined, Li Guigui was looking for the rest of the time to do it, and he didn't even stay in the town. For most of the past half a month, the people who were counted by him either stayed at home and did not go out, or there were people around him when they went out, so that his full total never succeeded.
After listening to Widow Li's explanation of the Guo family's abnormal behavior, her eyes rolled around, and she said to Widow Li: "Mother, don't do anything these days, quietly keep an eye on the Guo family, and see what they are doing after all." β
When Widow Li heard this, she stared at Li Guigui with three white eyes: "Bao'er, you honestly report to your mother, you are so concerned about the Guo family's group of cheap bones, do you have any thoughts about them?" β
This question was asked by Widow Li for the sixth time, and Li Guigui was very impatient when she was asked, waving her hand and shouting: "Didn't I tell you not to ask?" Just do what I say, and you don't care about the rest. β
"Impossible, if you don't say one, two, five or six today, don't think about my mother doing what you say."
Widow Li didn't care where she could, and immediately shouted. She hated the Guo family very much, but her magic weapon son happened to be like an evil spirit, and she wanted to be with the Guo family's unclear glue, how could she feel at ease?
Seeing that his mother, who had always been obedient to him, was talking to him so unceremoniously, Li Guigui was shocked, thinking that he would have to rely on his mother to keep an eye on the Guo family, and always let her deal with the Guo family with his own heart, he hesitated for a moment and said his enmity with Guo Mianmian and the purpose of staring at the Guo family.
It's just that he molested Guo Mianmian and became abnormal, Guo Mianmian automatically seduced him, and when he saw that the seduction was impossible, he teamed up with the adulterer to seriously injure him. He was also very aware of Widow Li's temperament, and was worried that if Widow Li knew his total, it would probably ruin his "merits", so he covered up his dirty total.
Li Guigui is definitely the king of garbage, no one would believe his distortion, and regret that Widow Li treats her own son with a filter, and believes Li Guigui's lies without hesitation.
