Chapter 157

After all, Xu Zixi is the young master of the Xu family, and he has been pampered since he was a child, even if the yard he rents now is not good for the Xu family, but the people of the Xu family can always toss this yard well. So when the Gu family went to visit, they found that although there was no difference between the two courtyards of their pair of doors from the outside, the difference was big once they entered. The furnishings of the courtyard where Jiang Xuehe lives are emphasizing the word elegance, there are only plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums and a pool of lotus flowers in the courtyard, all the furniture is made of wood and stone, and the porcelain is mostly celadon and white porcelain, and the color is relatively light. Qingya is elegant, but in the eyes of the Xu family, it is also very poor.

Xu Zixi's yard is different, the flowers in the yard are mostly peony, peony and hibiscus, although the furniture is mostly wooden, but they are all good mahogany or sandalwood, curtains and the like are made of fine silk, and the vases in the house are mostly colored porcelain, and most of the patterns are auspicious and rich. In addition, there are all kinds of gold, silver, jade and antiques as decorations, and you can see that you are very rich and noble.

Gu Sixing was used to seeing the wealth of the Xu family, and he didn't feel anything, but just reminded: "If you move all the Xu family's sets in such a place, you are not afraid of attracting thieves." ”

Xu Zixi said with a smile: "My Xu family has always looked for thieves, so I also have some experience in preventing thieves, as long as you don't dislike my taste is too vulgar." ”

Everyone didn't think there was anything about it, elegant and elegant beauty, vulgar and vulgar beauty, as long as it was beautiful and interesting, there was nothing bad about it. Jiang Xuehe admires the taste of the Xu family, even if only Xu Zixi lives alone, this courtyard is very lively, and it makes people feel good when they see it.

During the meal, the Gu family once again saw the wealth of the Xu family. Fucheng is some distance from the sea, but there is a lot of seafood on the Xu family's dinner table. And it was August at this time, and the weather was very hot, and Xu Zixi ordered someone to serve desserts with ice cubes after the meal.

Jiang Xuehe said strangely: "Could it be that there is an ice cellar in the mansion?" I'm afraid that the yard here is not easy to make, right? ”

Xu Zixi's face was slightly red when he heard this, and he was a little embarrassed to speak.

Xu Yirou said with a smile: "The Xu family originally prepared a yard for him, but he had to live here to rearrange it. There is no ice cellar in the courtyard here, but there is one under the original prepared house. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, they had already guessed what Xu Zixi was thinking, but now that Xu Yirou said this, it was even more obvious. Gu Sixian was originally nothing, but when she heard everyone laughing like this, she couldn't help blushing again.

Jiang Xuehe asked again: "I don't know what the price of this ice is?" Now that it's a hot summer, if I can add some ice desserts to my lady's house, I think business will be better. ”

Xu Yirou shook his head and said: "The price of this ice is not low, you are afraid that you will not make much money by buying ice to make snacks and then selling them, it is better to build an ice cellar yourself, and this business can be done for a long time in the future." ”

Jiang Xuehe said embarrassedly: "I have no foundation in Fucheng, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to build an ice cellar by myself." ”

And she's not sure if she'll be able to do this business for a long time. With the help of Xu County's order in the county, she has always done very well, and as long as she does not shake the status of the four major families, other businesses are not afraid. But it's different in Fucheng, Fucheng is now the dominant Shi family, but there are still seven families under the Shi family that should not be underestimated. These eight families are all firmly rooted in Fucheng, and there are Xu families who are rooted in other counties but also have a place in Fucheng. Jiang Xuehe couldn't stand the blow of any of these merchants, and now that she could open it safely, she felt that it was just that Shi Jiuniang was willing to give her a little thin noodles.

If Shi Jiuniang had the heart to open such a shop, she would definitely be able to squeeze her to the point that she couldn't open it. And Shi Jiuniang disdained to use that kind of means, so that she had a little time to breathe. It's just that although such a shop has new ideas, it is also very easy to imitate, and now there are already some jade buildings and Fanghua buildings in the city. When these buildings first opened, Jiang Xuehe's lady building was temporarily deserted for a while, but after the general excitement passed, her lady building gradually became lively again.

can support the lady building in this situation, one is because of Gu Sixian and Jiang Yunlan's dexterity, the silk flowers and many embroideries they put in the building are unique, and if other buildings imitate it, they will naturally fall behind. If there's a piece of jewelry that's unique, who wants to use a duplicate one? Besides, although they tried their best to imitate it, their craftsmanship was not as good as Gu Sixian and Jiang Yunlan, so it was not so easy to sell. Besides, there are more difficult to imitate flower brews, those flower brews are the girls' favorites, and several other buildings have also tried to study flower brews, but they can't make Jiang Xuehe's kind of taste, but if you don't imitate it anymore, some people think it's good.

Then there are those rouge and incense powder, rouge is okay to say, but the taste of that incense powder is longer than the taste of other incense powders, but it has attracted the eyes of many people, and they want to ask Jiang Xuehe for a prescription.

Jiang Xuehe, the technology of flower brewing and fragrant powder, feels that no one will surpass her in the short term, at least for three years. As for whether it will be able to continue in three years, it is a question. However, Jiang Xuehe was not worried about this, because she felt that in three years, Gu Siyan might not be in Fucheng anymore. At that time, if it can't be opened, it will be good to sell the store directly, so she has never thought about making an ice cellar or something.

Xu Yirou felt that this was also reasonable, it cost a lot to build an ice cellar, and Jiang Xuehe was afraid that he would not be able to come up with so much spare money for a while. Besides, this ice cellar is not easy to get, and now to start building it, it will take a year to return to the original cost.

"Well, I want those ice cubes just to cool off, and I don't have any other uses for the time being. Just ask me as much as you need. If the ice dessert can really be profitable, you will divide the profit of the ice point into five percent, and I will take a stake in the ice cube. Xu Yirou smiled.

Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "If Sister Rou is willing to help, it will naturally be great." I'm not sure what I can make yet, so I'll go back and try it first. ”

Xu Yirou smiled: "Okay, I'll ask someone to get you two buckets of ice tomorrow." ”

On the second day, Xu Yirou really asked someone to send two buckets of ice, she originally wanted to send a car, but Shi Tong said that she was just trying to make dim sum and was afraid that it wouldn't be used much, so she gave up. However, she was still afraid that Jiang Xuehe would not be enough, so she sent two large buckets over.

Jiang Xuehe knew that Xu Yirou would definitely send her if she said that she would send her, but she didn't expect these ice to come so quickly, so she hurriedly asked people to buy some honey and fruits and come back. So all day long, Jiang Xuehe was studying ice drinks and ice desserts, and she really researched several things. Several little girls happened to rest on this day, and they all ate ice around Jiang Xuehe for a day, and they were extremely happy and satisfied in the hot summer.

Jiang Xiyue also rarely did not go to the lady's house to earn another remuneration, but stayed at home to help try out the new desserts. Of course, she was very happy to eat, but she thought that it would be better if Jiang Xuehe could make some desserts that looked elegant.

Jiang Xuehe thought this idea was good, Jiang Xiyue had mentioned it to her before, so she made some elegant ones and sold them at the Junzi's Building. There are many scholars exchanging articles in the Junzilou, and there are not many dim sums, but after changing the appearance and elegance, it is better than the previous one.

Now that Jiang Xiyue has mentioned it again, she must have wanted her to make some elegant looking freezing points, but this is a little difficult for her. Bing Yihua, she really didn't know how to be elegant, and in the end she could only put more effort into the equipment. Fortunately, she had people make a batch of flower-related porcelain before, which came in handy this time. Of course, the tea with ice in the lady's building can be put with honey fruits and all kinds of flower tea, while the gentleman's building is still dominated by plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums and lotuses.

That night, Jiang Xuehe asked people to go to Shi Tong's house to deliver a post, and asked Xu Yirou to come over tomorrow to talk about it. Xu Yirou saw this post and knew that she was looking for her to try something, and it happened that she liked to eat cold food when it was hot recently, so she went there as soon as it was dawn. This made Shi Tong a little dissatisfied, and he always felt that since the Gu family arrived in Fucheng, his little wife had seen the world running out, and she no longer cared about him as much as before.

But there is no way, except for Shi Jiuniang, Xu Yirou has no one who can speak in Fucheng. His sisters-in-law and younger siblings often ask Xu Yirou to go out, but every time they ask someone out, they find out how much money Shi Sanye gave him, and whether his current business is whether the Shi family's people are secretly helping. In the end, it was a family, Shi Tong asked himself if he didn't take much advantage of withdrawing from the Shi family center, but how could Shi Sanye let his son be completely separated from the Shi family? Who doesn't need a partner to do business, in this case, why do you have to find outsiders if you have family members who can cooperate? Therefore, Shi Tong and the Shi family have always been just normal business dealings, but his brothers don't believe it, even if his brothers believe it, his sisters-in-law and siblings don't believe it either, and they always feel that he has taken advantage of the Shi family, saying that the division is actually not really separated.

Because those women are always prone to thinking too much, they unconsciously carry some sourness when they talk to Xu Yirou, and Xu Yirou is not stupid, so she naturally hears their dissatisfaction clearly. It's okay this time or two, but who wants to walk around with them this time and again? Therefore, Shi Tong was quite happy when the Gu family first came, and felt that his little wife finally had a place to talk.

But in the past three days, he ran out at both ends, and he didn't care about himself as much as he used to for several days, so Young Master Shi Qi was taken a big vinegar, and immediately put on his clothes, washed up, and followed to Gu's house. Anyway, there was nothing to do today, but he wanted to see what the lady of the Gu family had come up again.

Xu Yirou didn't know what her husband was thinking, and she felt that it was strange for Shi Tong to come over. After all, the two men of the Gu family had to study, and there was only a group of female dependents left in the house, and Shi Tong felt uncomfortable talking to the women in the past. Shi Tong saw his wife's disgusted eyes, and almost carried her home to prevent her from playing.
