Chapter 154

Although Yang Ermiao had already helped her take care of the shop, Jiang Xuehe was not in a hurry to open it, after all, the problem of supply had not been completely solved. In the past, Huayufang could open stores in the county and towns, and that was because the source of goods was in Hejia Village, not far from these two places. However, it takes eight or nine days to rush from Jiangjia Village to Fucheng, and fresh flowers and plants can be transported here in good condition, but it takes a lot of effort and is not convenient. Jiang Xuehe felt that if she wanted to be angry for a long time, she had to have her own land in Fucheng, so she went to see the land first.

Yang Ermiao walked around outside for several days and didn't find a suitable piece, because it was to plant flowers, so paddy fields and the like are definitely not good, and there is not much land to reclaim, and it would be too troublesome to reclaim the mountains by yourself, and barren mountains like Hejia Village are really hard to find. In the end, Jiang Xuehe still bought a piece of mountainous land, spent more than a thousand taels, the land is very large, it is not a barren mountain, but the mountain is mainly herbaceous plants, there are few tall trees, and it is more convenient to reclaim. Before reclamation, Jiang Xuehe also found a few people who knew herbs in the past to finish picking all the herbs on the mountain first, and made some small profits. Because there were not many trees on the mountain, Jiang Xuehe did not pull out those trees, and the flowers and plants that she thought were good were all left.

"It will take a lot of work to reclaim the land, right? I'm afraid that the flower food shop won't be able to open for a while. When Jiang Xuehe was on the mountain to check what flowers and plants could continue to be planted, Yang Ermiao suddenly said.

Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "Wulang is going to stay here for two or three years, just get it done in two or three years." I'm just trying to find something for myself to do, but if you want to do anything in the long run, you have to lay the foundation first. Since you want to open a shop in Fucheng, you need a larger supply of goods than the county seat. The flower food shop can't be opened for the time being, but it's still possible to open a small teahouse that sells flower tea and snacks. ”

Yang Ermiao couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Madame is paying attention again?" ”

"That's natural, I've already drawn the artwork, and I'll ask Steward Yang to ask someone to decorate it when the time comes."

Yang Ermiao originally thought that there were more guests in Fucheng than in the county, and if they wanted to flower a restaurant, of course they would have to buy a larger shop, so he chose a very large one, not only a two-story building, but also a single-family building. Jiang Xuehe was very satisfied with the shop, although it cost a lot of money, it was worth it. She asked people to divide the shop on both sides, and the doors were also opened on both sides, and made two teahouses, one called the Gentleman's Building and the other called the Lady's Building.

Junzilou is mainly a place for literati to drink tea and discuss articles, such a teahouse restaurant in the city does not know how many, want to do it always want to have their own characteristics. Jiang Xuehe's cooking is also very simple, the drinks in it are either made of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, or made of lotus flowers, all of which are representatives of gentlemen. In addition to tea and wine, there are also some flower cakes and bamboo leaf cakes, which are also a little different from the previous ones, and the sweetness is a little bitter, which is more evocative.

In addition, there is also a literary club similar to the Bafang Bookstore in the Junzi Building, where there are three bookshelves with excerpts of rare books. These excerpts are basically copied by the Gu Siyan brothers, Liu Hanzhi and Jiang Xiyue, they all write a few words well, they can copy them while reading and practicing calligraphy, and she also saves some wages, which is a triple win. Each transcript has their private seal printed on it, which can be regarded as indirectly making a name for them.

The gentleman's building is mainly elegant, and the lady's building has more tricks. The flower brew and flower cake are still the same as Jiang Xuehe's before, mainly sweet. There are also several bookshelves in the building, in addition to poems and songs and some rare transcripts, there are also many books, which are suitable for women to read.

Gu Sixian and Jiang Yunlan will continue to make silk flowers and delicate and special ready-to-wear, but they are not as customized as before. The rules of the prefecture are a little bigger than those in the county seat, and it is not appropriate for them to show their faces outside all day long, so now they are ready to go directly to the lady's building to see who is willing to buy it. Because each pair of silk flowers made by Gu Sixian and Jiang Yunlan is different, basically one style is made of five branches at most, and the color matching is not the same, so it has been selling well. can sell clothes and jewelry, and naturally can also sell incense powder. Jiang Xuehe, a separate fat powder shop, has not yet opened, so he put the finished incense powder and rouge in the lady's building to sell, and it also sells well.

There will also be a literary meeting of the girl's house in the lady's building, but it is all a small fight, mainly for the girls to relieve boredom. When Jiang Xuehe opened the Bafang Bookstore before, she thought, since men have so many places to have fun, why don't women have them? So she made such a lady building, where the girls could eat snacks, drink tea and chat, read and listen to books, and pick out some suitable clothes and jewelry to dress themselves up beautifully.

Xu Yirou and Shi Jiuniang have become frequent visitors to the Lady Building, Shi Jiuniang likes such a place very much, and she feels that she can do better. But this is the idea that others thought of first, and she is not easy to copy the past, which is embarrassing. Anyway, the Shi family is rich and rivals the country, and there are many shops that can make money under her hands, and not every business has to be done.

Jiang Xiyue also goes to the Lady's Building to sit in her spare time, but she is not there for recreation, mainly to make money. There are many girls in the building, and there will always be all kinds of problems, and Jiang Xiyue's talent is just the right solution to people's doubts. In addition, Jiang Xiyue was born beautiful and had a very gentle temperament, which was very popular with these girls. came to the Lady's Building to solve the guests' doubts, Jiang Xuehe also gave Jiang Xiyue a salary, which received two wages every month, and included food and accommodation, Jiang Xiyue saved a lot of money.

Fucheng is not the same as the county town, like Jiangxi Yue, the village is not very tolerant, even if it can tolerate gossip, it is indispensable. Jiang Xuehe doesn't know how the poor families in Fucheng are, but people like Shi Jiuniang don't marry anyone, and it's okay to have a bad life and remarry. The girls and ladies who come and go in the lady's building are not short of money in Fucheng, so they really don't attach so much importance to this area, and their attitude towards Jiang Xiyue is very friendly.

Jiang Xiyue also stayed in the lady's building for a long time, and then she felt that she was narrow-minded in the past, and the women in this world are not all ordinary ways of living, she used to be a little unable to raise her head because of the gossip in the countryside, which is really undeserved.

As soon as Jiang Xiyue was cheerful, she was even more funny when she gave a lecture to her sister at home, Jiang Xuehe was very satisfied with this, and thought that Fucheng was right this time. Now the only hidden danger is that Zhang Cheng. She asked Yang Ermiao to inquire before, that Zhang Cheng is now studying in Songhe Academy in Fucheng, and his grades are among the best in the academy, because he married the youngest daughter of the dean of the academy, and now he has received the personal guidance of the dean, which can be called promising.

It's not Zhang Cheng who needs to be worried, after all, this person is studying in the academy now, and he doesn't usually come out. Just like the Gu Siyan brothers entered the Hanshan Academy, they had a day off every ten days. Because they live close to the college, the three of them can go back and forth every day. The dean of Songhe Academy lives on the mountain, Zhang Cheng married someone else's daughter, and now lives on the mountain with Dean Liao, and usually does not come out.

But now that she is a lady, she is gradually becoming famous, and if Zhang Cheng's newly married daughter-in-law Liao Rulan comes to be a guest one day, it will not be good to get into some lawsuit with Jiang Xiyue. However, what Jiang Xuehe didn't expect was that Jiang Xiyue had not met Liao Rulan before she met Zhang Cheng.

That day was the day when the younger sisters in the family rested, and usually on such days, Jiang Xiyue would go to the Lady's Building, and it happened that Jiang Xuehe took a few sisters and Jiang Xiyue to go over together. Whether it is the Gentleman's Building or the Lady's Building, Jiang Xuehe does not show up on weekdays, most of them don't know that she opened it, and the guests in the building generally regard her as an ordinary guest who loves flowers.

When a few of them were about to go to the Lady's Building, they happened to meet Zhang Cheng who was about to enter the Gentleman's Building. Although the doors of the two buildings do not open to one side, it is normal for them to be next to each other and run into each other. Jiang Xiyue was holding her daughter at the time, although she saw Changcheng, but it was only a pause, and then she continued to walk forward as if she didn't see half of it.

However, that Zhang Cheng was an abnormal brain, after he reconciled with Jiang Xiyue, he was always afraid that Jiang Xiyue would continue to pester him, but people did not look for him again. Zhang Cheng was a little happy and a little disappointed at the time, but he didn't expect that he would see Jiang Xiyue in Fucheng, and his first reaction was that Jiang Xiyue really came to the door. Zhang Cheng was a little impatient and felt that it should be so, seeing that Jiang Xiyue ignored him, he only thought that Jiang Xiyue was trying to capture him.

Seeing that Jiang Xiyue was pulling Hui'er to enter the Lady's Building, Zhang Cheng's brain was hot and he stepped forward to stop the person.

"Why did you mother and daughter come to Fucheng?" Zhang Cheng said coldly, "I'll tell you, no matter what you want to do, put away your mind, I won't let you get your wish." ”

Jiang Xiyue didn't look at him, she bypassed him and continued to walk into the building, Zhang Cheng was very dissatisfied when she saw this, and she got entangled again.

"Do you think it will work? I tell you, it's useless! Zhang Cheng said coldly, "You better go back to Jiangjia Village quickly, isn't it a shame for a divorced woman to show her face outside?" What does it look like to be dressed up in fancy clothes? Do you think I'm going to look at you more? ”

Jiang Yuxuan immediately said: "Where did you come from?" A few of us sisters walked here, all of us didn't squint, how could I ever look at you? You stopped you like crazy, and I, Mr. Xiyue, avoided it, but you still didn't give up? Obviously, you stopped people three times and twice, and you actually said that I, Mr. Xiyue, were pestering you? Yuzhu, don't you hurry up and beat this crazy disciple out! ”

Fang Yuzhu was the little girl that Yang Ermiao brought over to serve by Jiang Xiyue's side, Jiang Xiyue was not used to using maids, but Fang Yuzhu had good skills, and it was also a guarantee to take it with him. For the other party Yuzhu, the sisters of the Jiang family were her masters, and when she heard this, she immediately stepped forward and pushed Zhang Cheng away.
