When the ox cart slowly arrived in front of the Yu Mansion, Du Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the closed vermilion door, Liu asked Erlang to go up and knock on the door, and he wrapped Du Yi tightly, afraid that she would be cold.
The first time Erlang came to this kind of place, he was inevitably a little timid in his heart, so he pulled the ring, buckled it a few times, and couldn't help but stomp his feet, trying to expel the cold on his body.
The door opened quickly. A young man with a long camera poked his head out of the door: "Who are you looking for, what is the matter?" ”
As if begging for help, Jiro turned his head and looked at Doyi, who was holding like a snowball.
"Little brother, I looked for Yu Ziheng, and I said that Du Yi asked to see him!" Du Yi didn't know if Yu Ziheng was in the mansion now, so he could only try his luck.
"Is it Miss Du? Come on in! We explained to Master Yu that if the girl comes, she will go directly to the house. The little servant, who heard Dooy's name, quickly opened the gate and stepped forward to help pull the ox cart to the stable.
Liu asked Erlang to guard Mangkhut, and he and Du Yi followed behind Xiaowu and went to the living room of Yufu.
"Miss Du, what a rare guest!" Yu Ziheng got the news of Du Yi's visit in the study, and came out as soon as possible.
Du Yi just took a sip of hot tea, and when he saw Yu Ziheng coming in a hurry, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "Boss Yu is polite, the little woman took the liberty to come to disturb today, she has a business and wants to cooperate with Boss Yu, I don't know if Boss Yu is interested?" ”
Du Yi didn't know who Ziyi City was, but it was definitely not simple as far as she felt. This time, she just wanted to try, if it didn't work, she had to find another way.
"Oh, I don't know what kind of business it is?" Yu Ziheng's eyes lit up when he heard that business came to his door.
Du Yi took a mangosteen from Liu's hand, removed the leaves of the mangosteen, and broke it with both hands, revealing the white flesh inside. "Boss Yu try it first!"
Yu Ziheng had naturally seen this mangosteen, but he never thought that this thing could be eaten. Hearing Du Yi's words, he saw the flesh lying in the palm of his slender and white hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he shifted his gaze to Liu's body again.
Liu had already prepared, not only took out a mangosteen from nowhere and handed it over. Yu Ziheng learned Du Yi's simple movements, broke the mangosteen in two pieces, handed it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, looked up and glanced at Du Yi again.
The smile on the corner of Du Yi's mouth remained unchanged, knowing the concerns of the man in front of him, he lowered his head and swallowed the peeled mangosteen in his hand, but his eyes stared at the person in front of him whose mouth was chewing for a moment.
"I don't know what Boss Yu thinks? This mangosteen is known as the queen of fruits, which can play a role in strengthening the spleen, stopping diarrhea, reducing inflammation and relieving pain. ”
"It tastes good, I don't know how Miss Du plans to sell it? Yu Mou has something to say first, this thing is known to Yu Mou, and there are a lot of them in the town. ”
When Doe came, he thought about it. Therefore, when she bought it, the price was not very high, two catties per penny.
"Boss Yu said that, yes. But this thing, except for our town, other places, even if there are, there must not be much, right? After the boss can collect it, transport it to other places, and sell it, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money. If it weren't for the little woman's family affairs and no one to help, the little woman would also want to make a lot of money. In the winter months, the weather is getting colder and colder, and there are not many people who can eat fresh fruits. If this fruit is only available to the boss's family, then the price is not up to you? ”
The smile on Du Yi's lips remained unchanged, no matter what today, she planned to sell this mangosteen. I believe that with this big Yufu, you will definitely be able to eat these mangosteens.
"That being said, I just don't know how long this thing will last? It's so cold on this day, I'm afraid that it will be frozen before it can be shipped out. ”
What Yu Ziheng said is also very realistic and must be considered.
"It's not that cold yet, and it's just ripe again. On this day, it is not a problem to save it for a month or two. When the boss transports it, he spreads a thick layer of wheat straw in the basket. Then a layer of mangosteen, a layer of wheat stalks. If conditions permit, you can use cotton, which can keep you warm. When transporting, you can put it in the carriage, and find someone in the carriage to watch, and light some charcoal fire in it, and that is not a problem at all. ”
In this era, there is no preservation technology at all, and I don't know how to preserve it. It's not Dooy's stuff, and she can't care about that much. She can only come up with what she thinks works. The specific implementation and solution are up to him.
Yu Ziheng lowered his head and thought for a quarter of an hour, and finally raised his head and said, "I don't know how you plan to sell this mangosteen?" You know, it's something new, it's still a question whether people like it or not, and I'm taking a certain risk. ”
"One pound and five cents, what does Boss Yu think? I believe that if Boss Yu is transported to Fengcheng and other places, this catty will definitely be able to be sold for more than 20 yuan. If the boss's publicity is in place and his skills are good, even if he sells hundreds of dollars, it will be fine. ”
Regarding Du Yi's painting of the pie, Yu Ziheng smiled and didn't say much. Since he agreed to buy it, he already had a plan in his heart.
"Isn't this price a bit high?" In business, even if he was ordered to do it, he couldn't do it too obviously. Otherwise, according to Du Yi's character, he will definitely not have any contact with him in the future.
If Doe knew what was going on in his heart, he would have said he was thinking too much. She also wished that someone would help her, and she must treat the other party as if they were gods. It's not like now, just trying to sell your own stuff.
"Not much, really not much, this is the queen of the fruit. If Boss Yu wants to do this business, don't miss out on the cooperation with me. There are people in this town who are mangosteen, and if I dare to say second, I don't dare to say first. ”
"Hehe, Miss Du is quite confident." Yu Ziheng did not answer directly.
Du Yi thought that he didn't want to take risks, so he said to Ziheng: "If this is not the case, I will put Mangosteen on the boss's side and sell it on consignment." The silver sold is deducted from the cost and transportation costs. How about I divide the rest of the silver with you? In this way, you will not suffer from the boss, and you will not have to take a certain risk. ”
Yu Ziheng was secretly surprised in his heart, this was the first time he had seen this kind of sales method. If he heard it from other people, he would look at it differently at most, but if he could say it from Du Yi's side, it would inevitably make him sigh, but it was a pity that he was a daughter.
Yu Ziheng, who was willing to help her, had the same smile on her face: "I see that Miss Du is very confident, this deal, Yu Mou has done it." According to the second method that the girl said, so that Yu does not take too much risk, but I don't know how many mangosteens the girl has? ”
"I haven't counted the exact amount. There is no car at home, can Boss Yu let someone come and transport it away? At that time, we will weigh the specific amount. ”
Du Yi is now throwing a lot of money into it, and she is also panicking about whether she can sell it at the moment. But how can there be no risk in trading. It's a big deal to make money next year, and directly change to make soap and candles.
"This is naturally no problem, then it is decided, let's stand for it."
Soon two copies of the contract appeared in the hands of the two of them, and when they were signed, each held one copy. "If it was shipped over today, I'll bother the boss to arrange it first."
Coming out of Yu's mansion, Liu didn't say a word, just tightened the clothes on Du Yi's body.
"Mother, second brother, let's go to the seed store, I plan to wait for the greenhouse to be built and grow vegetables in it." In this winter, cabbage and potatoes will be tired of eating and vomiting every day. When I grow fresh vegetables, the price will be as I shout. ”
Compared with Du Yi's self-confidence, Erlang and Liu were worried. No one has ever been able to grow vegetables in winter, not even cabbage and potatoes before the snow falls.
"Mother, you have to believe me, I won't do things that I'm not sure of."
Regarding the fact that Liujiaduyi wants to grow vegetables in winter, Liujiacun is noisy. Someone said behind his back that the Liu family had a lot of money, and it burned at home, so they had to waste a little bit to feel comfortable.
Some people also said that maybe they could really make the girl toss.
Some people also said that if the Liu family can really grow it, they hope to help and make a little money when the time comes. Now that the younger brother went to Liu's house to help, I don't know how many people are envious.
I heard that the Liu family gives 300 wen a month, and they eat there three meals a day. I heard that the work is very easy, just chatting with Liniang and Peach Blossom, cooking, and washing clothes. I heard that you can also learn literacy with Nadui, and they can teach it for free.
In short, I heard all kinds of things, but I envied those people in Liujia Village.
Qiao's heart was also very envious, but he inevitably felt some regrets that Du Yi didn't choose her. can think of the good relationship between the younger brother and the peach blossom since he was a child, and the regret is gone.
It's just that the number of times I go to Liu's house every day is getting more and more frequent. There are several brothers in her family, but she notified them as soon as she knew that the Liu family was alive.
It is precisely because of this that during this period of time, the four brothers of the in-laws can be regarded as having a lot of wages. Du Yi also privately gave her a little silver, saying that she was not allowed to work hard, and that it was an extra reward, which was not counted in the wages.
Qiao's knew that this was something that Du Yi had the heart to help her and gave her extra. The mother-in-law didn't know that she could keep it as private money. And Du Yi has the intention to win over Qiao's family, if Qiao's is smart enough, he will be a good use of manpower in the future.
Every time she taught her younger brother, Xiaohuzi and Peach Blossom, Qiao's also secretly learned on the side. It seems that he is very attentive.
"Yiyi, this house has been built, now do you want to do what you said, do you want to make a fire?" Du Yi was in the built house, and he set up a kang that was not very high. Rows are lined up in a very regular manner, and the kang is covered with a thick layer of soil. Needless to say, the soil was prepared to grow vegetables. At the same time, she also prepared a lot of fertilizer. Even firewood is purchased from the villagers.
She built three houses, which together were about six acres in size. Buying land, building houses, seeds, firewood, etc., Du Yi spent more than 200 taels.
Mangosteen also cost Du Yi dozens of taels of silver, and now Du Yi has not much silver left in his hand that can be used.
In addition to the silver of the house, the people of Liujia Village have more or less earned a lot of silver in their eyes.
"Well, it's getting colder and colder, and it looks like it's going to snow. Second brother, how you used to grow vegetables, how you grow now. The fire in the kang, don't stop, don't burn too much, just keep it at a certain temperature. ”
In the three rooms, Du Yi hired Dacheng and Yinniu to work as long-term laborers, and signed a contract with them to give them 500 wen a month. At the end of the year, one person with two clothes, twenty catties of rice, and five catties of meat.
Because of this contract, it exploded in Liujia Village again. How did such a good thing not fall on their heads?
Su Shi, who originally hated Duyi, now began to want to slap her. For Qiao's three days and two heads to find Duyi, she also turned a blind eye and treated it as if she didn't see it. It's just that he still detains Tie Niu, doesn't let him get close to the Liu family, and doesn't let him have any chance to meet Peach Blossom.
Chunxing and the others don't care, and they don't envy and jealousy in their hearts. Hengzhu's family has not yet been divided, even if he earns more silver, it is still a public school.
Dacheng is grateful to Du Yi, although it is a long-term worker, it doesn't sound good. But during the slack period, they were all out to find short-term workers, tired and tired for a day, and they died of death, less than 20 yuan, and they had to leave their hometowns.
Now that he can not leave home, 500 wen a month, and there are so many things by the end of the year, for him, it is already pie in the sky. It's just that this work is a bit tiring, and the fire can't be cut off for too long, so someone has to watch it.
Fortunately, his father is fine, and he can still help. The mother-in-law in the family is also much more honest. Liniang's medical expenses and the people's tax and taxes for the coming year are no longer a heavy burden for him now. The food you grow in the coming year can be kept for your own family. With a wide heart, he couldn't wait to kneel down and kowtow to Duyi.
Because she gave birth to four daughters, she couldn't afford to straighten her waist in her in-law's house. @樂@文@小@说|On weekdays, they work hard and work hard, and what they live in with their family of six is a dilapidated house.
This room is also relatively large, divided into a front room and a back room. There were three beds in the back room, and because the children were older, they were divided into two rooms by Zhao's father, Ah Fu, with wooden planks. The big one is for the four sisters, and the small one is naturally Ah Fu and his wife.
Winter is the slack season, and it is said that according to the character of Zhaodi and Grandma, Zhaodi Niang will never be allowed to use oil lamps at night. However, since Brother Zhao went to Liu's house to help, and had 300 yuan per month, for the first time, Brother Zhao's grandmother agreed to let Brother Zhao light an oil lamp at night.
Zhao Di's grandmother calculated, 300 wen a month, and three meals were included. If it is because of the darkness of the night, after a tumble and fall, it will be less than ten cents a day, and it will even cost more to bring the food at home.
This trick made the younger brother mother, who didn't know her mother-in-law's thoughts, grateful. Since then, when Zhao Di's mother is doing embroidery at night, she is waiting for Zhao Di to come back.
The days of the wax moon are getting colder and colder, and the time of the day is getting shorter and shorter day by day. Brother Zhao came back from Peach Blossom's house, and after a short journey, he was numb from the cold.
"Mother, I'm back!" A cold wind, along with the door that had been opened, poured in.
Brother Zhao hurriedly put down the embroidery shed in her hand and came out, and stepped forward to shoot the snowflakes falling on Brother Zhao's body.
"Sister, you're finally back, drink hot water first and warm up!" When the younger brother heard the movement outside, he quickly poured a cup of hot water and waited on the side.
After Brother Zhao was selected by Du Yi to help Liu's family, her life was much better, and she even got a little taller. First of all, there is no endless nagging, and then every meal is full, and when you go home at night, you can also take away two big steamed buns.
"Dad, I'm back!" When Zhao Di entered the room, his body was completely relaxed.
Ah Fu stopped the straw sandals he was weaving, glanced at his eldest daughter with extremely complicated eyes, opened his mouth, and finally said, "From tomorrow onwards, my father will pick you up at night." ”
In the dark night of winter, the north wind is whistling, which makes people scared when they hear it. Zhaodi's courage is not small, but this part of the road, she is still terrified. Especially after snowfalling, if you fall and can't get up, you can only wait to freeze to death.
Hearing this, Brother Zhao's eyes turned red and he nodded vigorously.
The charcoal fire in the house gradually warmed her body. took off his heavy coat, untied a cloth pocket hanging from his waist, and took out two large buns that were already cold and stiff.
Brother Lai, Brother Xi and Brother Pan stared at the two meat buns with six eyes, and while showing greed in their eyes, they sucked hard.
"Mother, this is for you and Dad. Come brother, the three of you have divided this, remember to eat it when it's hot! ”。
"Your father and I won't eat it, and the four of you will eat it separately. After eating, hurry up to bed, it's late at night, you have to get up early tomorrow! Zhao Diniang glanced at the meat bun, then put aside her eyes and prepared to go back to the house to rest.
