Chapter 58
Xu Yirou was very happy when she heard the news, and she actually got so forgetful that she stepped forward and hugged Jiang Xuehe's arm, obviously she and Jiang Xuehe were meeting for the first time, and they were not familiar with each other.
"No wonder Ah Xian always said that she had a good sister-in-law, I originally thought she was exaggerating, but now I know that Ah Xian really has a sister-in-law who is like a fairy." Xu Yirou said with a smile, "I originally thought that Ah Xian's unique hand would never be able to find a second one in Songyue County, and she would send a few pairs of silk flowers when she came to our Xu family, and I am not such a black-hearted person, where is it embarrassing?" Sister-in-law's idea is good, although Ah Xian and I hit it off at first sight, but my brother also has to settle accounts! Speaking of which, it is still the most difficult to break the relationship between money and goods. ”
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "Even if Ah Xian is in business by herself, she will definitely give it to you often in the future, because she likes you, I have a lot of silk tweed at home, not only that, but she also gave it to my sisters and Ruyue, and they all made it." ”
"I know Ah Xian has a good temperament, but then I can't take advantage of her in vain." Xu Yirou said with a smile, "Besides, the silk flowers in the Splendid Workshop sold so well before, also because everyone likes to compare with each other." In order to compare, afraid that others will buy the same as themselves, or better than themselves, some people will buy everything they can as soon as they see that the shop is new. Speaking of which, who wants to bump into someone else's clothes? Clothes can't be bumped, and accessories and other things are better not bumped. Although the custom is not sold as much as before, the price can be further raised. ”
Jiang Xuehe also thought so, and now when she heard Xu Yirou say this, she felt that Xu Yirou was worthy of being the daughter of the Xu family, and she did have some ideas in terms of business.
"Speaking of which, even if Ah Xian does customization in the future, she may not be idle." Xu Yirou smiled again, "As far as the daughter of a rich family in our county has nothing to do at home on weekdays, I like you to hold a banquet and I will hold a banquet, anyway, no matter what the seasons are, you can come up with a vassal elegance to come from, gather the sisters to come out to play together, and compare each other's clothes and jewelry by the way, especially in the spring, maybe you can have a dozen small banquets." ”
Jiang Xuehe didn't know that the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the county still had this habit, but now she had to mention it and secretly write it down, and thank Xu Yiju.
This business is actually the same, although what Xu Yirou said is Gu Sixian's silk flower, it also applies to her. Although the daughters of these rich families compare clothes and jewelry, don't they compare the food on the table? If it really didn't compare, Mrs. Xu wouldn't have ordered so many flower cakes and flower brews with herself, so she made a lot of money by that. Later, when other ladies in the county wanted to hold a flower banquet, they would find a way to inquire about her here to ask about the flower cake and the flower banquet.
Jiang Xuehe couldn't come up with extra flower cakes, but the flower brew was still enough, and a lot of them were sold one after another.
In addition to these, all kinds of banquets of these rich families are basically held in the courtyard, so every grass and tree in this courtyard can also be compared. It's a pity that she doesn't have any treasures in her hands now, otherwise she can make another profit.
Jiang Xuehe still made a lot of money these days, and the profits of those flower brews were too high, she asked Haifeng in Haijia Village to help her collect petals such as peach blossoms, pear blossoms, apricot blossoms, and honey, and began to plant flowers that would bloom in summer, and gradually found that her income and expenditure had begun to balance, and she was no longer in a state of making ends meet.
The Gu family's barren mountain has also begun to grow things, and there may not be any harvest this year, but next year will definitely be much better. As for Gu Sixian's prospects, they are much stronger than her now, Jiang Xuehe is very happy when she thinks of this, thinking that they will definitely be able to live a better life.
When Jiang Xuehe went back, she also had two lists in her hand, it turned out that the Cao family was also going to have a flower banquet, but the Cao family was a little special, and it was a peony flower banquet. The Cao family has a few pots of peonies that bloom well this year, and the varieties are also rare, and the Cao family has been thinking about showing off early in the morning, so after the other three have finished the flower banquet one after another, they quickly sent everyone an invitation to the peony flower banquet, just waiting for the county to be overwhelmed.
Xu Yirou and her eldest sister Xu Yishu were both invited, and Xu Yirou simply helped her eldest sister to order it together.
Gu Sixian was a little embarrassed when she received the order: "Sister Rou, I have an idea in my heart when I see it, but I haven't seen Sister Shu yet, so I don't know where to start." ”
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "I'm going to Wen's house tomorrow to deliver wine, you can go with me." ”
The relationship between the Xu family and the Wen family has always been good, Xu Yishu married Wen Changming, the second young master of the Wen family, three years ago, and now the relationship between the husband and wife is good, and there is a son who is more than a year old. Probably because of Gu's recommendation, although Jiang Xuehe had not seen Xu Yishu yet, Xu Yishu still asked someone to order a batch of flower brews with Jiang Xuehe.
Xu Yishu is as good as his name, dignified and virtuous, and his gestures are very atmospheric. When Jiang Xuehe saw her, she thought of peony flowers, and sketched them directly in her mind.
Xu Yishu was also kind, and saw the two of them smiling very friendly: "This is Mrs. Gu, right?" It's really a rare and lovely person, no wonder my mother is full of praise for you. ”
Jiang Xuehe said humbly: "It's Mrs. Xu who has an overreputation." ”
"It's fine, you don't have to be humble." Xu Yishu thought that her mother was exaggerating when she heard Gu's praise at first, but now that she saw it, she realized that they could really have such a look in their county, which was much more beautiful than Chen Yanyan, who claimed to be the first beauty in Songyue County.
Xu Yishu looked at Gu Sixian again and found that Gu Sixian was still young and had not yet grown, but among girls of this age, she was also the most beautiful she had ever seen. Thinking that this girl should be her brother and daughter-in-law in the future, Xu Yishu couldn't help but take Gu Sixian's hand.
"Sister Xian'er may not have been here for a long time, how are you lately?"
Gu Sixian doesn't remember that she has seen Xu Yishu, but Xu Yishu still has a little impression of her, she is seven years older than Gu Sixian, and she once went to drink Gu Sixian's first birthday wine.
"Thank you sister for your concern, everything has been fine lately." Gu Sixian also felt cordial when she saw Xu Yishu.
Xu Yishu invited both of them into the house to drink tea and chat, and was a little embarrassed when it came to customizing silk flowers.
"Rou'er is stubborn, but it makes you laugh." Xu Yishu said helplessly, "Although the Cao family also invited me, I didn't plan to go. The peony flower will be five days later, and now it's too late to rush to a new dress. But the clothes I have recently made are a little lighter, and I always feel that it is not appropriate. ”
Jiang Xuehe smiled and asked, "What kind of clothes are they?" Can Sister Shu show us? ”
"What's not to see about this? It's just a piece of clothing. Xu Yishu smiled when she took out the clothes, "I got two light cloud yarns before, so I asked someone to cut a wide-sleeved dress." Because the color of this light cloud yarn is light, it is also relatively plain. ”
Light cloud yarn is a kind of light yarn newly listed in the past two years, light and semi-transparent, very elegant, it is difficult to buy in Fucheng, let alone in Songyue County.
The rare gauze in the capital of the city is found to be made by the tailors in the county, and those tailors are inevitably tied, and the final version of the clothes is very beautiful, but the color is too single, and there is no pattern.
Gu Sixian looked at it for a while and said, "Such plain clothes are quite suitable for embroidering a few big flowers." Since it is a peony feast, it is better to embroider a few large light-colored peonies on the top. ”
"I originally thought about embroidering on the top, but the embroiderer said that this light cloud yarn was not good for embroidery, so I had to give up." Xu Yishu said helplessly.
Gu Sixian said: "Although it is a little troublesome, it is not impossible to embroider." If Sister Shu believes me, you might as well ask me to give it a try. ”
Xu Yishu had only heard that Gu Sixian could tie silk flowers, but had never heard that she could embroider, so she couldn't help but hesitate. But this light cloud yarn is a rare good material, and she is not very willing to let it be so mediocre, seeing that Gu Sixian is not as big as a supporter, Xu Yishu finally nodded.
"So it's all up to you, whether this material can really play its proper characteristics, but it's up to you."
Gu Sixian hurriedly said: "Sister Shu is serious, since I am doing this business now, then these are what I should do, and I will try my best to do a good job for Sister Shu." ”
Gu Sixian has been raised in the deep boudoir in the past, and she doesn't know her embroidery work, but now it's different, she doesn't know how to do it outside Songyue County, but in Songyue County, she can't find a better embroidery work than her. Although she had never embroidered on such a thin material, she would not easily agree if she was really unsure.
After bringing Xu Yishu's clothes back, Gu Sixian couldn't wait to go back to the house and start drawing patterns. Jiang Xuehe could see that she really liked embroidery, and couldn't help but smile and shook her head.
The continuous flower banquets of several wealthy families in the county made Jiang Xuehe have a lot of ideas, and her food according to different seasons can continue, but if she can raise some rare flowers and plants, she will definitely be able to make a name for herself directly, just like the Cao family, if you buy a few pots of peonies from others that cannot be seen in Songyue County, you can open a peony flower banquet alone.
If the peony flower banquet is used, Jiang Xuehe will not be able to make peony flower cake and peony flower brew, and not all flowers in this world can make dim sum and wine, except for peony, she will encounter many similar situations in the future. When the time comes, will she let the opportunity go to waste?
Jiang Xuehe thought to herself, she is not a very ambitious person, she does everything within her ability, but she is not completely impossible. In terms of raising flowers, although she is not as good as her mother, she has also learned a lot, not to mention that she still has Qionglu to help, and she should have cultivated better flowers.
Thinking that the lotus banquet must be indispensable in summer, she secretly entered the Qionglu Fantasy Land while Gu Siyan was taking a nap. There are a lot of books about raising flowers in the fantasy world, and Jiang Xuehe bought a lot of lotus seeds this time, hoping to find relevant books to cultivate some different lotus flowers.
