98 Look at the ducks and geese
With the goal, Shopkeeper Hong and Mrs. Hong put their best into it, although they said that they had prepared a certain amount of cotton, but if they wanted to make Wuyi Pavilion suffer a heavy blow, then a little bit of goods would not be enough.
Therefore, the shopkeeper Hong immediately found the shopkeeper of each branch: "Immediately send an order to mobilize more than half of the cotton in each cloth village to Xingcheng." ”
"This year's cotton purchase is not very good, and the Wang family has also purchased a lot of cotton in various places, and there are not many on the market."
The shopkeeper replied, "If it is transferred, there will be not enough shops in other places, and the amount of Xingcheng will be too much, I am afraid that the price will be affected." ”
"Leave a part of it, just enough for the turnover of cloth villages in various places, and transfer all the rest."
Shopkeeper Hong pondered for a while, and finally strengthened his determination, if he didn't make a move, he would have to make the other party die and not die again.
They are Hong's family, there are many industries in various places, and the northland is relatively weak. As for the Wang family, the base camp is in the Northland.
If the Wang family's Wuyi Pavilion continues to develop, it is not good to say that they will break away from the north and return to the south of the Yangtze River, and at that time, I am afraid that the situation will be really difficult to clean up.
Mrs. Hong's plan is quite right, and their business in the Northland has been severely suppressed this year.
If the fabric industry loses again, I am afraid that in the Northland family, there will be no surname Hong.
So their Hong family can't afford to gamble, and they don't want to gamble.
The reaction of the Hong family, Luo Xiaoqiao had long expected that it was abnormal for them to do nothing.
It's a pity that I ran into her.
"Grandpa, are there any duck and goose raisers around us?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked while eating.
"There is no village in our village, there is a city village to the north, next to Mr. Hu's village, Mr. Hu raises sheep in their village, and that village raises many ducks." Grandpa Luo thought for a while and said.
"I went to them in my early years, and I heard that there are noble people who like to eat duck eggs, so I let them be raised, I don't know if they are still raised."
"By the way, Aunt Niu in our workshop, her mother's family is from Chengzi Village, you go and ask", Luo Xiaoni raised her head and said.
At this time, she has also learned to manage the workshop, and the situation of the female workers is quite clear.
"Let's go, ask to go".
"Our village, I went to the market a few days ago, and I met my eldest brother, and he said that he still raises it, but there are not many of them, just a noble person wants it, and the main thing is to ask for duck eggs", Aunt Niu wiped her hands on the apron and replied.
"Then they'll all take care of the duck seedlings or something," Luo Xiaoqiao asked.
"That's for sure, it's not much different from raising chickens, but the duck meat doesn't taste good, it's a little fishy, and the eggs are not big, and there are fewer people raising them later, but there are more geese," Aunt Niu said.
Luo Xiaoqiao has counted.
"Aunt Niu, can you please come with us in the afternoon? Introduce your brother to us, if you have acquaintances, we can do things."
"That's no problem, just go back and see my mother", Aunt Niu was very happy.
They are not as particular about etiquette as the big families. But the woman who marries is someone else's family, and she can go back to her parents' house every year, that is, on the second and third days of junior high school.
Luo Xiaoqiao's job is not only to pay her salary, but also to stop by to see her father, she is happy.
In the past years, the family was poor, and when I went back, I had to see the faces of a few concubines, but this year is different, she has to clean up and bring some good things to her mother.
Life is good, love to show off, and now it is about to become a problem for most people in Luojia Village.
But they are just bragging, enjoying the envy of others, and they don't delay anything, and Luo Xiaoqiao doesn't care.
It's human nature.
Moreover, with their showmanship, there are more people who want to come to the Luo family's workshop, and Luo Xiaoqiao has more room for selection.
In the afternoon, she called Sun Dianfu over again: "Steward Sun, you have worked hard for you, you and I will go to Chengzi Village with me, borrow the village chief's ox cart, and bring a few young men, as well as sacks."
"Good girl", Sun Dianfu agreed and went down to prepare.
Chengzi Village is mostly surnamed Niu, and as Aunt Niu said, there are a lot of ducks, and the sound can be heard on the street. There are a few free-range geese that also play the role of gatekeepers.
"Mother, I'm back", before she could enter the door, Aunt Niu shouted loudly.
"Who?" The door opened from within, and the head of a little girl poked out.
"Auntie, why are you here?" , the little girl turned her head and shouted into the house: "Grandma, my aunt is back"
"What? Who do you say is back? "An old lady came out of the room in a panic.
"Orchid, are you really? Why are you back? What's wrong? ”
The old lady looked at Aunt Niu in brand-new clothes, not like she had been taken home, and her face was puzzled.
"It's not a New Year's Day, what are you doing here?" An old man came out of the room, also frowning and puzzled.
"Father, mother, this is the little Qiao girl in my village, she came to find the eldest brother for a little trouble, you call the eldest brother back, let's go into the house and go", Aunt Niu pulled the old lady while walking inside.
"What?" The old man still didn't react.
Aunt Niu turned around and pushed him: "Dad, go quickly, don't let people wait, there is something good, you go and call my brother back"
"Little Joe, go, follow me in, let's sit and talk"
"That's it at home, don't dislike it", Aunt Niu said as she handed the old lady two packages, one was the rice noodles she brought, and the other was brand new fabric.
"Girl, why are you back?" Another woman came out of the inner room, her face was full of wrinkles, and her face looked a little sad.
"Sister-in-law, I came back to find my eldest brother for something." Aunt Niu said, "This is Miss Xiao Qiao from my village, you can help pour the pot of boiling water, it's a cold day." ”
"All right," said the woman, without further ado, and turned and went into the house.
After a while, a man's voice came from the courtyard: "Dad, why did you come to our house?" ”
Sun Dianfu took the lead to go out: "You are Niu Jianshan, our girl has something to do, let's talk in the house"
After Niu Jianshan entered the house, he saw Luo Xiaoqiao and a few young people standing next to him, and he suddenly felt a little at a loss.
The peasant family has a very patriarchal mentality, and he has never seen a female child come out to talk about things.
"This ...... This girl, what's the matter with me? ”
"Big brother, this is my host, Luo Xiaoqiao", Aunt Niu hurriedly came up to greet her.
Luo Xiaoqiao stood up and said: "Uncle Niu, you're welcome, that's the case, I heard that there are many ducks and geese in your village, and my family just wants to use it, so I came to ask, if it is suitable, I will collect it from your village, this just happens that Aunt Niu works in my workshop, they are all acquaintances, and they are easy to do, so I will bother you"
"Oh, you're the one, the one from Luo's Wood Industry in Luojia Village?"
Uncle Niu couldn't believe it, the little girl was obviously very young, and she was actually the owner of a workshop.
When Luo's wood industry started, someone from their village went to see it, and when they came back, they said that Luojia Village was going to get up, and all the big people who went there were all sitting in carriages and following the servants.
Unexpectedly, the main master came to their house today.
He sat on the chair nervously: "Miss Luo, what can I do?" ”
"Uncle, I thought, you must know people in the village, you can introduce the village chief to us, and take us directly to the house of the duck raiser, I want to collect some ducks and geese," Luo Xiaoqiao said.
Luo Jianshan thought for a while: "I'll take you directly to Uncle Xincheng's house, his family collects ducks directly for nobles, and he is worried about it for a while." The village chief is there...... You'd better deal less with each other."
Luo Xiaoqiao nodded, she understood that not all village chiefs were as considerate of the villagers as Luo Jinrong, it seemed that the village chief of this village was more likely to be corrupt and selfish.
"Then let's go, without further ado, finish talking early, and we'll go back early", Luo Xiaoqiao said, and a few of them walked out.
Aunt Niu also stood up and prepared to go out.
"Aunt Niu, you don't have to go, just let Uncle Niu take us there, you can talk to your family here, and let's go back to the village together after we have negotiated", Luo Xiaoqiao is still very sympathetic to the employees.
"Nacheng, Xiao Qiao, I'll wait at home", Aunt Niu looked happy.
When Luo Xiaoqiao stepped out of the threshold, he could still hear Aunt Niu's loud voice.
"Mother, look, what is this flower cloth? We spun it ourselves. ”
"The stone has already gone to school, just our village's own school, and we will try it next year."
"Auntie, I heard that the girls in your village are looking for their in-laws by themselves?" The timid little girl's voice rang out.
"Don't listen to people's nonsense, it's still my father and mother to find it, but the girl has to be willing", Aunt Niu's voice was full of joy.
"I'll tell you, my family is going to build a house for the New Year, and you will all come when the time comes."
……
Luo Xiaoqiao smiled and shook his head, this is the people, so easy to be satisfied.
