Chapter 127: A New Plan
The victims of the disaster in Nancang County, thanks to the help of Youran and others, lived a life of peace and contentment; They can rely on their labor in exchange for various necessities of life.
Also because of the help of Youran and others, the county order of Nancang County was greatly praised by the imperial court because of its good governance. Everyone is speculating that maybe it won't be long before Chen Xianling will be transferred and promoted.
What the others think, leisurely doesn't know, because she is busy at this time!
After settling the refugees, the Zhuangzi of the leisurely family ushered in a large-scale harvest; Not only the ripening of various fruits, but also the ripening of those various vegetables.
The ripening of fruits and vegetables did not bring much joy to Youran, on the contrary, it only added a lot of trouble. The first thing to worry about is the production and marketing of these fruits and vegetables.
Although the Leisurely Vegetable and Fruit Pavilion has always sold very well, it is always impossible to eat so much of it. And now it's summer, and it's impossible to store these things in ancient times like in modern times, so in the face of the danger that the ingredients may rot, you have to come up with a perfect solution.
At this time, in Qin's father's big study, he sat in front of Qin's father with Qin Yanran, discussing things with him.
"It seems that the plan to expand the access of the Vegetable and Fruit Pavilion is going to be advanced." After Qin Yanran thought about it carefully, he gave such a result.
"Well, you're right, this is undoubtedly a solution." Father Qin nodded approvingly.
Youran frowned lightly, but didn't speak, she was wondering if there was any other solution?
It is inevitable to expand the Vegetable and Fruit Pavilion to other regions, and it doesn't matter if it arrives early or later, after all, this is something that has been decided a long time ago.
It's just that there is nothing else to do but this method? Thinking leisurely, I thought about it.
"Yu'er...... Yu'er? Qin Yanran screamed leisurely for a long time, but he didn't get a response, so he could only stop helplessly and glance at his father.
Youran was completely immersed in his own contemplation, without the slightest feeling for the outside world. She filtered everything she had learned in modern society over and over again, and finally made her think of some solutions.
"With ......" leisurely eyes lit up, and suddenly said these two words.
"What?" Father Qin and Qin Yanran, who had been waiting for a long time, asked in unison.
Leisurely showed a confident smile, and told them the method he had just thought of: "Daddy, brother, I just thought that we can also make other fruits into other things to sell......
"Something else? Fruit wine? Qin Haoran thought for a while, and only thought of the fruit wine that he made leisurely.
Leisurely shook his head, "Not only fruit wine, but also preserved fruit preserves, jam juices, fruit popsicles and canned fruits." β
"I know about candied fruit and jam juice, but my daughter, what are these popsicles and canned food? Is it also edible? Father Qin asked her suspiciously.
"Yes, Daddy." Nodding leisurely, he explained: "This popsicle, as the name suggests, is made of fruit to make ice products; Isn't it refreshing to eat some cold food on a hot summer day? β
"Well, that's right!" Father Qin first agreed, but after thinking about it, he found a problem again: "You'er, how can you get ice in this summer?" It's not winter, you can freeze it when you put it outside! β
"Daddy, don't worry, my daughter has a way! Why don't you build a big ice cellar so you can make popsicles! He replied with a leisurely smile, "As for the ice in the ice cellar!" You can rest assured, my daughter I will make it artificially. β
Father Qin and Qin Yanran listened to her, and they all looked at her dumbfounded; They only had one thought in their hearts at this time, and that was: she can even make ice cubes by herself, and she is too genius, right?!
Qin Yanran slowly digested the words that he said leisurely, and then continued to ask her, "What do you want to do?"
leisurely looked left and right at them, and saw that they were all looking at her intently, waiting for her answer; leisurely did not sell Guanzi, and said directly: "It's very simple, build an ice cellar and sell popsicles; Build a workshop to make preserved fruit preserves, fruit juice jam and flower and fruit tea, and then open a shop. β
After a pause, he took a sip of tea: "The shop I'm talking about is not only an expansion store of Vegetable and Fruit Xuan, but also a food shop for ice products, as well as a shop selling jams, preserved fruits and the like." Oh yes, and the liquor shop. β
"Well, that's a good idea! After all these are done, the fruits and vegetables in Zhuangzi are no longer afraid of unsalable! Qin Yanran thought about it and thought that this was definitely the best way.
"This is to build an ice cellar, a workshop, and open a shop, is our family's liquidity enough?" Although Father Qin also agreed with this method, after all, he was a person who had been in the mall for many years, and he still thought about it more, "Even if it is enough, you have to think carefully before implementing it." After all, the investment was a bit too big. β
At the same time, not only did they open so many shops, but they also had to build workshops and ice cellars; Not to mention anything else, just a large ice cellar is a bit risky for the current Qin family. After all, in the thousands of years of the Dajing Dynasty, they had never heard of building ice cellars in summer, let alone seen the technology of artificial ice making, which may bring disaster to their own family.
Youran and Qin Yanran both understood the meaning of their father's words, and they all said with serious expressions: "Dad, we will pay attention."
"Well, I'm just reminding you that you should be thoughtful." Father Qin nodded with satisfaction.
Coming out of Qin's father's big study, the two of them turned to the small study in Qin's courtyard, where there were four brothers and two sisters of the Su family who had been waiting for a long time. After some thoughtful discussion, the final plan was leisurely summarized.
The opening of the shop was handled by Qin Haoran and the four brothers of the Su family, while Youran went to run the workshop, the ice cellar, and the harvesting in the Zhuangzi.
"You'er, you have a lot of things to do, if you can't be busy, ask Moqi and Mingyi to help." This time the Vegetable and Fruit Xuan is going to expand outward, he can't be at home all the time, if Mo Qi and they come to help, my sister has someone to discuss, right?
"Okay." Leisurely nodded in agreement.
Now that the plan had been made, the next day, they all went into action.
Qin Xianran first went to other nearby counties and Nanyufu City to choose a site to build a store, so he got up early in the morning and took the four brothers of the Su family, the brothers of Wanlei and the husbands of Lan Niang Ju Niang, Da Gang and Da Dali, out of the house.
Of course, before he went to other places, he first went to Nancang County and visited Shang Moqi and Sikong Mingyi; Please ask them to go to the Qin family to help leisurely during his absence.
On the leisurely side, he got up early in the morning to find Uncle Yu Cheng and Uncle Yu Fa, and instructed them to find the construction team that built the house: "It's best to find a few more waves of people to build the workshop and ice cellar in the fastest time; It's okay to pay more, but I have a requirement that what is built must be of good quality and quantity. β
"Yes, the minion understood." Yu Cheng and Yu Fa bowed and retreated, and went to do things according to their leisurely instructions.
"You'er, let's go to Zhuangzi, shall we? Just now, Tian Bo sent someone over, saying that the workers are ready, and we can start when we go over. Su Jingduo pulled Su Jingrou into the door and said to Youran as she walked.
"Well, I'll pack up, and we'll go." He nodded leisurely, then got up and walked towards the inner room of his room.
She needs to change into light clothes so that she can do things easily.
"Phewβ"
As soon as a few people walked out of the house, they heard the sound of Le Ma; Looking up, it turned out to be Sikong Mingyi and Shang Moqi, and behind them were their guards and a few servants.
"Brother Sikong, Brother Moqi, why are you here?" Leisurely tilted his head and asked curiously.
Shang Moqi rolled his eyes at Chaotian ungently, "It's not unruly!" Come to my house early in the morning, and tell me to come and help you; You know, I hadn't gotten up when he came to my house! β
Leisurely covered her mouth and snickered, and at the same time her heart was sweet, it was good to have a brother, and everything could be thought of for her!
"Hmph~ just snicker!" Shang Moqi snorted, and then commanded her very arrogantly, "By the way, you arrange a room for me, I decided that I will live here before he comes back, I don't want to get up early every day and rush in the dark." β
smiled leisurely, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll help you prepare."
Then he turned his head to look at the person riding on the other horse: "Does Brother Sikong need it?" I'll have one for you, right? Even if you don't live here, you can use it for a lunch break. β
Sikong Mingyi nodded lightly, "Okay, there is Sister Lao Youran." β
"It's fine." responded with a leisurely smile, and then instructed the evening clouds behind her: "Evening clouds, you go and prepare!" cleaned out the other two empty rooms in his brother's courtyard, and then arranged a few rooms for Qingfeng to them; Let's go to Zhuangzi first, and when you're done, you'll find us there. β
"Yes, miss." Wanyun bent his knees to receive his life.
After arranging their accommodation, he leisurely led them to Zhuangzi.
At this time, there were many people gathered in the Zhuangzi. Among them, there are long-term and short-term workers from the leisurely family, as well as disaster victims who came here not long ago to help.
The place where these victims were settled was in a clearing not far from Zhuangzi; At this moment, rows of neatly stacked tents have been erected there.
When they passed by here, they saw that in each tent, there were some old and weak women and children, who were either chatting together or doing some simple work; And their faces all had a look of satisfaction.
"It seems that you have built this place very well, and everyone is very satisfied!" Sikong Mingyi walked leisurely beside him and said slowly.
Pursing his lips and smiling leisurely, he replied: "These victims are all good, and their temperament is also very positive, and they are not depressed because their homes have been destroyed. There's not much I can do to help them, and they're all on their own. β
Sikong Mingyi smiled faintly, "It's good that you can do this!" β
Leisurely smiled, and did not continue to respond to him.
"By the way, what are you going to do with this land when they get back?" After a moment of silence, Sikong Mingyi asked again.
"Hmm......" thought leisurely, "I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I can use it to build a staff dormitory!" "Now the long-term and short-term jobs in her family's farm are all used by the family living in the vicinity; And those whose homes are a little further away from here are not hired, because there is no place to live for them.
"Employee ...... Dormitory? "What's that?
Sikong Mingyi looked at her curiously, waiting for her to explain the meaning of these two words to him.
"Forehead ......" slackened for a moment to say the modern words, how to explain it to him?
"Is it hard to explain?" Sikong Mingyi looked at her suspiciously, racking her brains there.
"No ......" looked up at him leisurely and shook his head, "This employee refers to the hired workers, fellows, etc.; They are collectively referred to as 'employees'. The dormitory means a place to live for the hired workers and their families, which is called a 'dormitory'. Can you understand that when I explain it this way? β
Sikong Mingyi lowered his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then raised his head, nodded at her, and said, "I roughly understand."
Whew~ Finally explained.
Leisurely raised her hand to wipe the sweat that was not there at all, but she firmly repeated a sentence in her heart: next time, she will never speak modern words again!
Sikong Mingyi had been watching the small movements on Youran's face with the corner of his eye, and a smile suddenly flashed in his eyes.
