If it weren't for the Du Ling clan, why would her young lady have fallen into such a situation, why should she call herself a nurse?
"Mother, aren't you happy?" Du Yi's hand was changed to a waist to encircle Liu, and his face was buried in her arms. enjoys the strong maternal love that Liu brought her.
"Happy, how can you not be happy!" The tip of Liu's nose is sour and his throat is tight.
"Mother, we will get better and better in the future. Du Mansion, sooner or later, will return to our hands, and the green willow will also be found. Mother, don't worry. I'm no longer the delicate Doe I used to be, who doesn't know anything. ”
Liu reached out and patted Du Yi's back, but he didn't speak, but tears overflowed his eyes. She never said that Green Willow was the goddaughter she recognized in Du's mansion. It's just that where she is now, she really doesn't know.
Thinking that the green willow might fall into the hands of Du Ling's family, he was tortured, or he had already been poisoned. Liu couldn't help gritting his teeth, forcibly swallowed the panic in his heart, and silently comforted Du Yi while admonishing himself, he just thought too much.
Before the mother and daughter were sad, Erlang's cheerful voice came from outside the door: "Mother, Yiyi, the proprietress of He Ji Liquor Store is here!" ”
Liu wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves and feet, took a deep breath, glanced at Du Yi, smiled, and helped her out.
"Girl, how are you doing?"
Regarding Du Yi's unmarried pregnancy, He Cao has heard about it. It's just as smart as her, and when she saw that the people in Liujia Village didn't pursue it, she didn't take it to heart.
In business, her friendship with the Liu family has never involved personal issues. Du Yi is a good partner, such a person, she naturally will not miss it.
"Thanks to the proprietress of the hostess, it's not bad. I wonder if the proprietress can be interested in what happened in Yiyi's letter? ”
When Du Yi said this, he bowed his head slightly to Erlang, and saw Erlang nodding back.
"Of course, this winter sunrise is still unheard of and unprecedented. If it's true, we'll have it all. ”
Business at Ho Kee Wine Shop is better than usual in the winter, because the weather is cold, and people like to drink some wine to warm up. The wine sells quickly, but the vegetables sell very little. If this fresh dish comes in, the business will naturally be no problem, especially in the early part of the Chinese New Year.
In the cellar are stored nothing more than cabbage, potatoes and turnips. After eating these three dishes for more than a month, I almost vomited. If other dishes can be produced, the price of this dish will naturally be as expensive as gold.
"Boss, I grow a lot of vegetables, if you say all, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat them. That's it, the varieties of vegetables on my side, you look back first, if you like it, you need catties and silver money, let's talk about it again? ”
He Cao's thought about it, Du Yi naturally took into account Na Yu Mansion, and just happened to want to see the food, so she nodded.
When the words of the two fell, they saw Du Yi saying to Erlang: "Second brother, let people bring in all the dishes!" ”
For this dish, Du Yi asked people to pull out a pound of each one first and put it in a frame.
He Cao's vegetable is not small, and there are more than ten kinds of greens, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, chayote, pumpkin, chrysanthemum and so on.
"Yes, this is really planted in winter?" Although the pumpkin is extremely small, if it is a variety of varieties for a period of time, it will naturally be big, so I don't know how she grows it?
"That's nature, these are just coming out. Boss, look at the soil at the root, it's still very fresh. Doe pointed to the roots of the vegetables in the basket.
"I want all these dishes. I don't know how to sell at this price? He Cao nodded with satisfaction, since there are fresh dishes here, then in the next few months, her wine shop will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Finally, it comes to the most critical step. The amount of money you can earn depends on the present.
"It's not easy to grow vegetables this winter, and the cost is also huge, so I have to let people watch it day and night. That's it, sixty wen a pound, what does the proprietress think? ”
Seasonal vegetables are only one or two pounds per catty, and sometimes, one penny buys two or three catties. Du Yi's sixty articles shocked Erlang again.
The six acres of vegetable land can be harvested now with thousands of catties, especially those green vegetables and the like, which grow even faster. At this price, wouldn't that be a profit?
He Cao's family had never seen where Du Yi grew vegetables, and when he thought of Du Yi saying that people watched day and night, he knew that she took care of people. Thinking about it, this dish is all at one price, and now she has no recipe in her heart.
After all, the wine was there before. This winter's green vegetables are indeed rare, especially those big families, who want to eat something fresh in winter. Even if it is sold for seventy or eighty yuan per catty alone, it is still cost-effective.
"Can I go to the vegetable patch?" He Cao wanted to go to see the place and decide the price again.
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request."
Doe shook her head, now she wanted to preserve the mystery. If it's easy to let people in, then what's the mystery there? Even the people in the village just thought it was planted in the house.
"It's me who is abrupt, fifty wen a catty, what does Miss Yiyi think?" Since you can't look at it, you can only push the price down.
"It seems that the boss lady is not that sincere, since this is the case, then Yi Yi will not delay the time of the boss lady!" Du Yi felt that the price he said was already very low, and this winter was the first time to grow vegetables, and he bought everything fresh. Now that she is sewing at the end of the year, even if she pulls the vegetables to the town and sells them piecemeal, she is not afraid that she will not be able to sell them.
"Miss Yiyi, don't worry, I just thought about it, and the price is appropriate. I just don't know if the girl will be able to send it to the wine shop. You also know that this mountain road is difficult to walk, so it is a waste of time to go back and forth every day. ”
Du Yi shook his head, but said, "Boss, you and I have cooperated many times, you should know my temper." Since you've decided to buy it, I might as well tell you. I naturally want to cooperate with Na Yufu. It's just that Yu Fu, I would say, let Boss Yu transport it to other towns or counties to sell. We have the only one to sell in Crescent Town, so that there will be no bidding disputes, and we can also ensure the uniqueness of the liquor store, right? As for the transport, you may have to send someone. You also know the situation of my family, one, there are no extra people to deliver now. Second, if it is delivered by my family every day, it is not good to be seen by other restaurants or rich people in the town. ”
"I think you also understand that we peasant families have no power, no money and no power, and we can't afford to offend those rich and noble families. Although I made up my mind not to sell it, if those powerful people forced it, for the sake of my family, I could only sell to them, and the impact on the boss lady at that time would be difficult to say. ”
Du Yi is too lazy to have to deliver to his door. Second, she also knew that when the time came, He Cao's family would definitely let her add the condition that she could only sell to her and Yu Fu.
Ho Kee Wine Shop has fresh vegetables in winter, which will naturally attract some people's eyes. If you send food to the past, it will inevitably be remembered by someone who cares. It is their Liu family who is embarrassed to turn back. If there is a rich or noble family who oppresses people with power and asks her to hand over the planting method, according to the current situation, she can only compromise.
Du Yi's words are all said to be on this, if He Cao's family doesn't understand it anymore, he will be stupid. Instantly, he nodded: "It's still Miss Yiyi's thoughtfulness, it's my negligence." Miss Yiyi, don't worry, I will send someone to pick it up, and the money will be settled on the same day. ”
As for coming to Liujia Village to buy vegetables, she thought she would send someone to do it well. If someone is followed, it means that they have leaked their plan and lost it.
The two reached an agreement and signed a written contract. He Cao paid one hundred taels of silver as a deposit on the spot, found a few baskets, waited for a while, personally transported more than 100 catties of fresh vegetables, and left happily.
"Second brother, how many catties of vegetables can be produced in the greenhouse?" With the silver ticket in his hand, Du Yi finally felt at ease.
"There are quite a few, and they should be able to sell for several rounds. If you have already pulled it out, I will go to the seeds later, Yiyi, you can rest assured! When Jiro saw the silver, the more motivated he became.
He had farmed all his life, and he had never seen a vegetable grower that could sell so much silver. The one hundred taels of silver left by He Cao's family are enough to sell the vegetables in the greenhouse. Six acres of vegetables, roughly calculated, the first stubble sells for two or three hundred taels, it should be no problem.
"Well, by the way, second brother, the people who came to help today will calculate their wages for a while, and by the way, tell them that they will find them to do the next work. It's just that there is one thing, which is seen in the greenhouse, and it is not allowed to be said to the outside world. Du Yi said, took out a copper coin from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Erlang.
What she meant, Erlang naturally understood. It's one thing for the villagers to see it, it's another for them to imitate. Growing vegetables in this winter is not planted casually, and if they don't understand the twists and turns, they will be finished with no return.
It cost a few hundred taels to build three rooms at the beginning. On weekdays, when you build a house, it will only be a few dozen taels at most. The difference between these will not be understood by others. Especially recently, she heard that some villagers also tried to grow vegetables at home, but unfortunately nothing came out.
"Yes, I'll pay them the wages. By the way, Yiyi, if my little shop is opened, who will watch it? "Yesterday, Erlang heard Yinniu muttering to him, and he thought about asking Qiao's to help.
He had a good relationship with Tie Niu, and during this time, Yin Niu and Tie Niu took turns. Hearing this, he naturally wanted to see Du Yi's attitude.
"I've already chosen this, and I see that Qiao's is also feasible, so let her try it. In addition, Peach Blossom has also learned some words with me during this time, and her body is okay, so it shouldn't be much of a problem to go there. ”
Liu sat aside and didn't speak. Hearing Du Yi's words at this time, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it okay for Peach Blossom?" ”
It's not that she doesn't have confidence in her daughter, but that Peach Blossom has been protected by her family too well since she was a child because of her body. It would be nice to open a small shop in the village and exercise there.
But when I think about it, the peach blossoms are already in time, and they haven't married yet, so it doesn't feel good to show up like this.
"Mother, Peach Blossom is okay. I asked, and she agreed. Peach Blossom was not said to be by outsiders because of her poor health. If she could help in the shop, the people in the village would have seen more and knew that there was nothing wrong with her body, and those words would naturally disappear. Besides, Peach Blossom may be able to meet the person she likes because of this, right? ”
On the one hand, Du Yi wants the villagers to change their view of Peach Blossom, and on the other hand, he also wants Peach Blossom to have more contact with people, which can be regarded as a small eye-opening for her.
What else did Liu want to say, Du Yi continued: "Mother, if this is opened, I will go over with you a few days ago to take a look." If there is no problem, then let Peach Blossom and Sister-in-law Qiao manage it together. The village is all about small business, and it is more about exercising people. If my business becomes bigger in the future, there must be reliable people around me, right? If you have to do everything yourself, then you can't do anything. What's more, if the people of these ten miles and eight towns know that Peach Blossom is the shopkeeper of this small shop, wouldn't it be good for Peach Blossom's family affairs? ”
When Erlang heard this, he also nodded. It stands to reason that at the age of Peach Blossom, it's time to get married. In the past, people avoided it because of poor health and poor family conditions. It would be nice if I could take this opportunity to let you know.
Besides, he also believed that Du Yi would be able to get up in the shortest possible time, she was the daughter of an imperial merchant. Growing up in that environment since childhood, even if you don't learn ten percent with Master Du, there will always be five or six percent.
"Mother, I also approve of Peach Blossom going to that shop to exercise. If it weren't for Hu Ziniang's pregnancy, I would still think that Hu Ziniang would go with me. I'm left with us now, and we have to stand by her side, not hide behind her. ”
Liu's heart, which was still hesitant, nodded decisively after hearing Erlang's words. Doe's side really needs people, and their whole family must stand by Doe's side, and they can't hold her back.
In this way, the matter of Peach Blossom going to the shop to take care of it was decided. Erlang took the copper coin and paid the wages to the people who came to help cut the vegetables in the village, and the one hundred taels of silver tickets that Du Yi held in his hand handed it to Liu.
"Mother, you keep this money, and let my father accompany you to your town tomorrow to cancel the household registration. You can keep the rest of the money, and when the village is opened next year, you can build a bigger house. When I give birth to a child, it will be difficult to squeeze with peach blossoms anymore. ”
Liu Shi held the silver ticket tightly and nodded cautiously.
"Yiyi, after the New Year, my mother will build the house and buy you a literate girl."
Yufu.
As soon as Yu Ziheng returned to the mansion from the capital, he received a letter from Du Yi, so he hurriedly called the housekeeper to arrange the procurement. And he himself was locked in the study, calculating the transportation costs, costs and other accounts of the mangosteen during this time.
At noon the next day, I saw Yu Ziheng pulling four carts full of things and coming to Liujia Village.
In winter, it was freezing cold, and everyone was originally at home, reluctant to go out. But occasionally there are people who come to the door, and when they hear the news that the person who cut vegetables for Du Yi's greenhouse yesterday earned twenty wen in half an hour's effort, everyone was red-eyed.
One by one, they took needlework and went to Liu's house. They plan to take the opportunity to see Liniang, and by the way, set up the news. If the Liu family still wants to recruit people, they can also sell themselves as soon as possible. After all, the silver earned in that half an hour is more than the embroidery they have to embroider for half a month at home.
Yu Ziheng came to Liu's house with four carriages of goods, and he happened to be seen by everyone. I saw one by one stretching their necks, their eyes flashing with curiosity.
