Chapter 65
Jiang Hanxiao was embarrassed to help the Gu family's barren mountain choose a name, so he proposed to let Jiang Xuehe discuss it with Gu Siyan. Jiang Xuehe felt that she was quite reasonable, and turned around and went to the study.
Jiang Hanxiao looked at Jiang Xuehe's back and couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that her fourth sister was really married, and she would not have said this before, if you left her, you would leave her.
"A name for the barren mountain?" Gu Siyan was stunned for a moment when he heard it, he didn't expect Jiang Xuehe to have such a proposal.
"yes, I think what I said with a smile makes a lot of sense. That mountain was not a barren mountain at the beginning, but although it was barren for decades, it can now grow things, and it seems inappropriate to call it a barren mountain? ”
Gu Siyan thought for a while and said: "Also, that barren mountain is mainly for you to use to grow herbs and flowers now, and it is closely related to your business. ”
Jiang Xuehe said strangely: "You don't seem to care about that barren mountain, obviously it's your property, but you have never taken care of it." ”
Gu Siyan said with a smile: "I don't know how to take care of the family business, the title deeds of the family are all in charge of you, you are in charge." ”
"But this is your mountain, I ...... it."
"Xue Niang is so angry, but I make me sad." Gu Siyan said with a smile, "You have to think about it, I think about one, you don't want to bite your mountain anymore, aren't we a family now?" ”
Jiang Xuehe smiled: "Okay, then you think about one." ”
"Then it's called Lotus Mountain, the view of ornamentation, the lotus of lotus, aren't you going to dig a pond under the mountain to plant lotus flowers in the future?"
"That's a nice name, it's just ......"
Jiang Xuehe didn't know if she was being amorous, she had a lotus character in her name, and the name of the mountain also had a lotus character. If she hadn't thought about it much, the name of the Gu family's mountain had her name embedded in it, it didn't seem good?
Gu Siyan said with a smile: "My word is meditation, which means to observe quietly and then speak." ”
"I see." Jiang Xuehe couldn't help laughing, and repeated a few times in a low voice, "Wait and see, Gu Jing and watch ......"
Gu Siyan didn't think that his words were anything special, but after being read by Jiang Xuehe several times, he actually thought it was quite good.
The name of the barren mountain was decided in this way, and Jiang Xuehe was inexplicably excited, and even wanted to set up a stone tablet for the barren mountain to write the name. But now that there is not even the shadow of a lotus in this barren mountain, there is no need to mobilize the people like this, so she just mentioned it casually, and she didn't want to really do it.
But Diao Laosan is different from the Xie brothers, it just so happened that Xie Changjiang could carve, so he went alone to ask Gu Siyan for a word, and one person split the stone and carved the stone tablet and erected it. It took less than half a month before and after, and when Jiang Xuehe went to check the progress of digging the pond, she saw the stone tablet and was very surprised.
"I didn't expect Uncle Xie to have this ability."
Xie Changjiang smiled: "It's nothing, Madame, let's take a look at the pond we dug." ”
The progress of the pond is also very good, the Xie family brothers and the Diao family are not small, they also know that for Jiang Xuehe, the sooner the matter of digging the pond, the better, so they did not do it themselves, but took the initiative to find a few people who came to help when the mountain was opened before. These people they have all reported to Jiang Xuehe, and Jiang Xuehe has also given them wages, the wages are average compared to those in the county, but they are definitely the best in the village, so everyone worked very hard, and in less than a month, all the plots of land suitable for digging ponds were dug up and made into ponds.
Jiang Xuehe looked at the dug ponds and was very satisfied, turned her head and asked, "Can you plant lotus flowers now?" ”
Xie Changjiang smiled: "Naturally, there is no problem, is Madam only planning to plant lotuses?" ”
Jiang Xuehe said: "Lotus flowers must be planted, but if only lotus flowers are planted in such a large pond, it seems to be a bit wasteful." Why don't you buy some more fry and come back, and I'll see if we can raise fish together. ”
"I think so, too, I think this pond is quite suitable for fish farming." Xie Changjiang was very happy to hear Jiang Xuehe's words. He and Diao Laosan both have a hobby of fishing, and they want to become a fish pond in the future, so he and Diao Laosan can still have a good time fishing when they have nothing to do, and no one knows if they put it back after fishing.
Even if you know, it's not a big deal, Jiang Xuehe is not a stingy person, and she won't care about this little thing with them.
As for the fry......
"Madam, in fact, there are a lot of fish in this spring stream, and everyone will go there to catch fish when they want to eat fish, and I think many fish sellers catch fish there. In this case, we can just catch fish in Spring Creek, so why spend more money? Xie Changjiang assured Jiang Xuehe, "As long as Madame can trust our brothers and Third Brother Diao, we promise to handle this matter properly for you!" ”
Jiang Xuehe couldn't help but glance at Diao Ruyue, and when she saw Diao Ruyue nodded, she agreed to Xie Changjiang.
The pond has been dug up, so Jiang Xuehe transplanted the lotus flowers she had planted in the yard to the pond one after another, and bought many new seeds to raise in the pond. As for the seeds taken out of the space before, she still kept them in the backyard in order to be able to watch them every day.
Soon it was late spring, and Jiang Xuehe's peach blossom cake and pear blossom cake couldn't be made, but fortunately, the cellar was full of flower brew she made, so that she had business to do every day. The flower brew was originally half a jar of silver, but now each jar is divided into five small bottles, each bottle of two dollars of silver, half of the profit than before. Even if the cost of custom porcelain vases is removed, it makes a lot more money than before.
The main customers of this flower brew are rich girls like Xu Yirou, and there are about thirty or forty such girls in Songyue County. And their mother or the concubine in the family also has a good one, and they can sell a lot, just in Songyue County, Jiang Xuehe's regular customers have more than sixty.
Because the sales of flower brewing in Songyue County were good, Yang Ermiao didn't care much about it, he began to drag Xie Changhe to accompany him to other counties, and even sold things to Fucheng, and he also got a lot of gains.
Yang Ermiao was very satisfied with the prospect of this flower brew, and thought to himself that it was not suitable for the Gu family to leave the village for the time being, otherwise this business could be made big in one go! But now this is not bad, after all, many of Jiang Xuehe's raw materials are not well prepared, stay in the village for two more years, and wait for the future when all aspects are fully prepared, and then it will be more prudent to expand the business.
Jiang Xuehe didn't know that Yang Ermiao had such big expectations for her, she didn't even think about how much she could sell in Fucheng, she didn't expect Yang Ermiao to directly bring her a big order.
"Fucheng asked for 3,000 bottles there?" Jiang Xuehe said strangely, "Why do you want so much?" ”
Yang Ermiao said with a smile: "Madame, is she not confident in the flower brew she made?" There are a lot of flower feasts in our county every year, and there will only be more in Fucheng. The girl's house is not suitable for drinking spirits, and the flower brew made by the lady is very much in line with their appetite, and they naturally like it. ”
"But now it's late spring, the peach and pear are grateful, this flower is out of season, and it seems that it is no longer in season."
"Madame thought about it, in the past, the good selling of flower brew was indeed related to the occasion, but the peach blossom and pear blossom had already been clean, but this flower brew is still easy to sell, doesn't it mean that it is pleasing in itself?" Yang Ermiao said with a smile, "Coupled with the limited work of Madame, outsiders feel that this flower brew is not easy to obtain, so they have pushed its status up to the next level." All in all, Madame's flower brewing is as popular in that circle as it is in the county town. ”
Jiang Xuehe was very happy to hear this: "Since it is rare and expensive, then after these three thousand bottles are sold, our business will be suspended." ”
Yang Ermiao was stunned: "Why is this?" ”
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "As soon as these three thousand bottles are sold, I don't have any stock here." Besides, according to what you said, if this peach blossom brew and pear blossom brew are continuously exported, those rich ladies think that the flower brew is at their fingertips, and they will naturally not be so enthusiastic after tasting it for a while. Now that it's the season of the tulip blossoms, I want to try to see if I can make tulip sake. ”
Yang Ermiao's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Then when the lady makes it, give me two bottles by the way, and I will take it to Fucheng to let the nobles taste it?" ”
Jiang Xuehe asked, "What kind of noble person is it?" ”
"That girl's family is in the tea business, because the family spoils her, she has her own restaurant at a young age, all by her alone, and the business is very good, and the people in Fucheng call her Shi Jiuniang. Shi Jiuniang was born delicious and sweet, and Madame's flower brew was very appetizing to her, so she asked for 3,000 bottles in one go, saying that she would set up a flower banquet in late spring. I heard that Shi Jiuniang loves flowers, so the Shi family's yard is planted with all kinds of flowers, which can bloom all year round. Even in late spring, there are still cherry blossoms and begonias in their Shi family's Zhuangzi. ”
"Cherry blossoms...... Jiang Xuehe sighed and said, "Speaking of which, there is also a cherry blossom in the courtyard of the Jiang family, which was accidentally discovered by my mother in the mountains and specially transplanted back. ”
Yang Ermiao is actually not familiar with flowers, what he said is what he heard, in fact, he didn't know what Tuli, cherry blossoms and weeping begonias looked like, and even he heard the name cherry blossom for the first time, so he really didn't know what to say.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Xuehe didn't mean to say much, but said: "It's hard work for you this time, you go to rest first these days, and when you're ready, I'll call you again." ”
Yang Ermiao hurriedly said: "You can't rest, you can't rest, three thousand bottles of flower brew is not a small amount, I have to hurry up and contact the team these days, so as not to make any mistakes when I get it, and I can't transport the flower brew to Fucheng intact." ”
Jiang Xuehe smiled after hearing this: "Second Brother Yang is more thoughtful than me, so in this way, I will trouble you again." ”
Yang Ermiao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No trouble, no trouble, this is what I should do, and I also like to do this." I am very happy to be able to serve my wife. ”
Jiang Xuehe was very moved when she heard this, but later she learned from Diao Ruyue that this Yang Ermiao has been a person who likes to do business since she was a child. He secretly did it when his parents didn't allow it, and later went to the store to be an apprentice, until his parents had an accident.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuehe suddenly felt a little sympathy for her. Regardless of whether Yang Ermiao likes to do business or not, seeing that he is doing so hard and doing so well, she should give him a raise.
