Chapter Eighty-Four: Expanding Business
"Chunhua, do you think I can expand the jam business to other villages?"
In addition to the town, there are several villages nearby, and if you just come to buy a jam, it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and many people would rather not eat it. If you open a store in a few villages, will it be an objective income?
Chunhua's eyes also lit up, it can be said that since Xia Ting asked her to make jam, she has been managing it, and seeing the scale of the store grow, it is like watching her own children grow up, which is very fulfilling.
"I think so. Place is not far and I can go. "Afraid that Xia Ting would not be able to find manpower, Chunhua also took the initiative to ask Ying.
She can now help her family make a lot of money, and her family's attitude is much better to her, in order to seize the current day, she wishes Xia Ting would give her more work.
Xia Ting thought that Chunhua was always a girl, and the place was far away, but it was still not very safe: "En, it's still a little far over there, I'll find Eryuan first, if he can, just go over there, you take care of my family." She plans to take a good break this time from the jam-making area, so that it can be stronger, and later in the day the typhoon is coming, and the wind and rain will stand up to polishing.
Xia Ting didn't stay long before he planned to leave.
Seeing this, Chunhua hurriedly said, "I'll send you." ”
It has always been like this, and Xia Ting is not embarrassed to refuse. However, she was still a little unnatural and walked with Chunhua.
She wasn't ready for what she would do if she asked her second brother about it.
"Ah Ting, you're always like this." Suddenly, Haruka said.
Is it coming!?
Xia Ting felt that something was wrong: "What, what?" ”
Who knows, Chunhua burst out laughing, and the embarrassing atmosphere was immediately cracked, leaving Xia Ting alone and confused.
"When you're embarrassed and overwhelmed, your eyes are always looking around, like a little mouse."
Xia Ting scratched his head, like a second fool, "What, there's no good analogy~"
Chunhua didn't say that she didn't think about it, but as soon as she said it, she also found out. No wonder Su Feng and the others looked like they could see through her, it turned out that they really saw through it, and they had been acting embarrassed.
"Ah Ting, you are a careful girl, although I have never told you my thoughts, but I know you understand." Seeing that Xia Ting was about to feel uncomfortable again, Chunhua couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and hurriedly added, "But I've never done anything out of the ordinary." And ......"
Xia Ting saw Chunhua's rare red face, a little inexplicable.
"Eryuan and I got better a few days ago." Spring flowers are very quiet, so low that they are almost inaudible.
Xia Ting was shocked, she was so surprised and delighted, she didn't expect that the two of them would fall in love!
"That's great!" Eryuan's personality is very good, he is honest, and he is also with Chunhua, and everyone is in the same village, so he can take care of it. Xia Ting was sincerely happy.
"Now I see that you are happy, and I know that you have come out. That's fine, the second baby is also an accident this time, you have been relieved for too long, and the big baby is not happy when they see it. Xia Ting is always worried about others, but in fact, she herself is the one who needs others to worry about the most.
However, seeing her like this today, she also knows that she has come out.
"yes, I know."
Chunhua said it was a gift, but in fact, it was almost time to go to work, and it was just an excuse for her to just come out.
Xia Ting hadn't entered the house yet, and when she was far away, she saw a hole in the thatched roof of her house, oops, her God!
I couldn't care about the spring flowers, so I hurriedly said hello and rushed back to my home, "Big brother, what's wrong with our family?" ”
Looking around, it didn't look like it had been smashed or something, it was a hole with a diameter of about 2 meters.
Su Feng handed the thatch to the eldest brother below, Gu Lin had already repaired it on the roof, he stopped his hand, frowned, and looked a little cute: "Old and in disrepair." ”
Xia Ting just wanted to tell him his plan and ask him not to work hard to make up for it, but after thinking about it, they didn't build it so quickly, and there were still people living in this section, so he let him do it, and by the way, he helped them deliver things.
The home is also a little dilapidated, so let's fix it by the way. She wants to build a house according to her own ideas, and if she doesn't ask for much, she will make it a two-story one, expand some space for things, and let each other have more independent space. Anyway, their house is big enough!
If you have capital, do it!
After finishing the matter, at noon Xia Ting told everyone about his plan, knowing that the family had enough money and silver, and when there was still left, everyone had no opinion and agreed unanimously. Since the eldest lady let Xia Ting be in charge, she has given her great trust, basically, she will support what Xia Ting decides.
It can only be said that Xia Ting met a mother-in-law who is envied by many people in the world.
On the other side, the survey team led by Qiu Ye was searching for casualties, and they suddenly found that after digging out a person, the air inside was actually circulating!
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! There's something new! A soldier who discovered this secret hurriedly informed Qiu Ye.
Who doesn't know now? The Gu family in Xiuli Village, that is, the little lady who opened Malatang in the town, is a person who is highly valued by adults.
If you make adults happy because of this, you will have done a great job!
Qiu Ye looked at the person, cleared his throat, and said a little hoarsely: "Say." "These days, they're all around here, everyone is unkempt, and his clothes are covered with a thick layer of dust, and if you bounce twice, the dust that falls is enough to make you cough.
"There's a hole in the mountain! The little one kept an eye on it, listened carefully, and the sound of 'ticking' water. ”
Qiu Ye's heart was lit with hope, and he waved his hand: "Hurry up and take this official to have a look!" He really wanted to tell Xia Ting the good news now, but after thinking about it, the situation is not clear now, so it is better to investigate the situation first, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, for Xia Ting, it is too cruel.
The situation on both sides was in full swing, except for the occasional visit to the town store to take a look, give them some medicinal recipes, enough for a month, buy some and go back to the village. For the jam to Dexing Lou, she also specially instructed Er Yuan to do it, Er Yuan's ability is still very good, she believes that he can reasonably allocate personnel to complete these things.
"Ah Ting, this thatched house, if you put it in the house, will it stink?" The eldest lady couldn't understand the layout designed by Xia Ting, but when someone came to build a house, she couldn't help but worry when she heard Xia Ting talk to them about it.
After all, even the homes of the most imposing village chiefs and lieutenant chiefs in the village are outside their thatched houses.
Xia Ting smiled, without the slightest impatience: "No, auntie, I asked them to make a passage there and drain it directly to the manure tank outside." Very convenient. ”
The eldest lady still has some burdens
heart, but after all, nothing was said.
"Mother, don't toss back and forth, leave this matter to me and Ah Ting, no matter what, isn't there also Ah Feng? Don't worry about it, go to the banyan tree at the head of the village. "They are better now, and they don't have to worry about the eldest mother, so that she can enjoy her old age in peace.
It's just that the eldest lady can't be idle, which also makes Gu Lin so depressed.
"Oh, let's go, let's go. It's a big deal, it's in the way of your little life. The eldest lady teased with a smile. Once, she was very happy to see her son and daughter-in-law secretly talking to me when no one was looking.
I always think that I will have to hug my grandson soon!
Xia Ting, who is the supervisor, has to cook for everyone, and he is also busy, seeing that he has lost weight these days, Gu Lin is distressed, but he is also ridiculed by Su Feng's guy like a "monkey".
Because the food of the Xia Ting Bao workers is also very good, the amount of food is sufficient, the dishes are also abundant, and the wages are more, they are inevitably beautified by the villagers, which also causes some people to be red.
When Chunhua and the eldest mother came to talk, they chose not to care. The mouth grows on the person, and people can say whatever they want, what can she do? Just be yourself.
Peach Blossom and the little uncle's family have eaten their deflated, and no matter how ugly they talk outside, they don't dare to come to the door to provoke.
When she was resting halfway, Su Feng suddenly walked up to her, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "When the house is built, I will go back to the town." "Su Feng can't do heavy work because of physical reasons, and he's just doing it these days.
Xia Ting was very surprised, their family is not short of money now, and he doesn't have to work hard to go out to make money, just help the family. So, she also euphemistically expressed her thoughts: "Our family is still relatively short of manpower now, is the private school in a hurry to ask for people?" ”
He's already a talent show, and he doesn't plan to continue studying? With their financial resources, it would be no problem for Su Bong to concentrate on studying.
"Nope."
Seeing Su Feng's expression, Xia Ting was a little weak. She didn't seem to be able to touch Su Feng's heart forever, she couldn't understand what he was thinking, as if she wasn't on the same channel.
"Our family's business is okay now, you don't have to worry about your livelihood. If you can, you can stay at home and study hard, and it's okay to continue taking exams if you want. ”
Su Feng suddenly turned his head and looked inexplicable: "You want me to continue to gain fame?" ”
???
This...... Isn't the ultimate goal of a scholar to become an official?
"I think it depends on whether you want to take the exam or not. It's not good for people to go to high places and give up halfway. "If you can be a lifter or something, you can be a petty official in the town's yamen, why do you need to go to a private school to be a gentleman.
However, she didn't know where Su Feng's ability was, in case he was reluctant, it would be bad if he insisted on rushing up. So, she respects his own choice.
After all, his age should be one or two years younger than the two brothers, at this age, Su Shi and they all became famous at a young age, and Su Feng's age is not too young.
"Okay, I see. The money to buy paper, ink, pen and inkstone is on credit with you first, and then it will be returned to you. He was decisive and made Xia Ting stunned, so he had to deal with it.
This...... It's a life event, right?
Not to mention tossing and turning, don't even hesitate for a while?
