Chapter 409: Vegetable Base

Manager Liu hesitated for a moment, wondering if the other party might reduce the price. At this time, Yu Xiaocao spoke again: "Steward Liu, you also know the relationship between our family and your future young family master, so be it!" We'll give Wednesday less face, and a pound of seeds will count you as forty wen! However, I hope that Mr. Liu will keep his mouth tight, and say to the outside world that he can buy it for fifty yuan a catty! ”

One pound lost ten wen at once, and a total of one hundred taels of silver was subtracted from five hundred acres of land! Manager Liu glanced at Yu Hai, saw that he had no objection, and said secretly in his heart: People say that the Yu family's real manager is his youngest daughter, the starting point of the third young master's success - Zhen Yulou, and many best-selling and delicious dishes are from her.

He used to think that the rumors were exaggerated, how capable can a little girl be? But her family loved her and put credit on her. Today, it seems, he believed! One hundred taels is not a small amount for anyone from a peasant family.

In particular, Dongshan Village, which has just experienced the burning, killing and looting of the Japanese Bandits, and the whole village is rebuilding houses. One hundred taels, you can build a nice house! And the little girl didn't discuss it with her family at all, so she helped reduce it on her own initiative, and her father still looked accustomed to it. It seems that it is not for nothing that the mother and son in the second room befriended Miss Yu.

Steward Liu thought about it, when he saw the little girl in the future, he must not be lazy, and he must treat her with the attitude of serving his master. Didn't the young guys who had a good relationship with her in Zhenyulou be promoted to the level of steward? He has been in charge of the sacrificial field for more than 20 years, and he should also move his nest......

Thinking like this, his demeanor was a little respectful, and he smiled and said, "No, no!" With the relationship between the Yu family and our master, it will definitely not be a sky-high price. If our third young master knew that the old slave was bargaining with Miss Yu, he wouldn't have taken my position as a manager! It's at the price of fifty cents a pound! ”

Yu Xiaocao raised her eyebrows, there is really something to take advantage of! Since Steward Liu is so good, he can't let him go back empty-handed when the time comes. In terms of price, Yu Xiaocao didn't say anything anymore, and weighed 10,000 catties of seeds for Steward Liu at the price of fifty wen a catty. Mr. Liu Shunshun paid five hundred taels of silver for the seeds.

Before leaving, Yu Xiaocao quietly stuffed him fifty taels of silver, saying that it was Manager Liu's hard-earned money. Manager Liu was shocked, and retreated in a panic: "I can't do it, I can't do it!" What if you let the master know that the old slave is greedy for the silver of the sacrificial field, and does not pick the skin of the old slave? ”

Yu Xiaocao hurriedly handed him a ladder: "Look at what you said, how is this greedy?" Isn't the seed money in money? You've worked hard all the way, and this is the ...... left for you to drink tea."

"No, no! The old slave has been doing it for more than 20 years, and he has always been innocent, Miss Yu, don't lead people to sin! If it is known, the old slave's reputation in this life will be ruined! Steward Liu cried and clenched his sleeves, for fear that she would shove the silver into it.

Just kidding, his primary purpose now is to befriend the Yu family, especially Miss Yu Xiaocao. Fifty taels of silver looks like a lot, almost as much as his salary for a year, but he can't lose a big thing because of a small loss! He knew that as long as Miss Yu said a word to him in front of Sanshao, the road in the future would be much smoother!

Yu Xiaocao saw that he was really reluctant to ask for it, and his impression of Steward Liu was a little better. After thinking about it, he took out a few wax pills from his purse, which contained pills for diarrhea, colds, flu and coughs, which were all good medicines that could not be bought in line at Tong Ren Tang. Especially her workshop was also pushed by Zhu Junyang's stinky guy, and now is the time to run out of stock. I heard that a pill in Tongrentang in Beijing has been fried to a high price of 100 taels.

Don't say it, the price is not exaggerated. Tong Ren Tang's pills and gold sore medicines are very effective. Let's just talk about cold and flu, drink a bitter medicine for three or five days, you may not be able to cure, one pill, two more serious pills, can cure the disease. Gold sore medicine is also sprinkled on the injured area, which immediately stops bleeding and relieves pain, and the chance of inflammation is greatly reduced, and the wound will be healed in three days and five days. If you change to other gold sore medicines, don't even think about removing the scab for ten or eight days!

The most important thing in the capital is the rich people, and one hundred taels of silver in exchange for a few days of sin, of course, they are happy. Especially those big businessmen who make money every day, how much more silver can they earn if they heal a day earlier? The children of delicate dignitaries and noble families can't stand the torture of illness, and for the pills that can cure the disease, let alone a hundred taels, no matter how expensive they are, some people rush to buy them.

I heard that in the next imperial merchant selection, Tong Ren Tang has already entered the eyes of the person in the palace. All kinds of pills and syrups have been set up as tributes to the palace!

Now in the entire Tanggu Town, there are only a few that can afford to use pills. The old lady of the Zhou family is getting older, and her health is not as good as day by day, so she has a few pills at home in case of emergency. The little master and little lady in the big room, as soon as he coughed a little, he clamored to drink sweet potion.

Only the old lady and the powerful people around the eldest lord have the occasional opportunity to get a pill from the master, like Steward Liu, who was assigned to the suburbs where birds don't to manage the sacrificial fields, and the pills have never even seen it. At this time, Miss Yu made five pills as soon as she made a move, can Manager Liu not be excited? Intellectually, he felt that he should refuse, but emotionally he was reluctant to refuse. This is a good medicine that money can't buy!

In the past few days, the old father has eaten a few pieces of chilled watermelon greedily, and he has some stomach troubles. After taking several pairs of medicines, they did not improve, and they became heavier and heavier. The doctor said that his father was old, and all kinds of organs were aging, and a very small illness could kill him.

When Steward Liu came out today, his father was already in bed, and his face was also gray. Among the pills given by Miss Yu, two were used to treat diarrhea. If he shirks it, it is likely that it will be his father's life!

After struggling for a long time, Steward Liu gritted his teeth and took the five precious pills with trembling hands. He is now less than forty years old, and he can earn more in the future, and the old father is only this one, and if he is gone, he will be gone forever!

Seeing that Steward Liu had accepted the pills, Yu Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief. This Liu steward is also too cautious, she made a few pills casually, and she was willing to accept them after grinding and chirping for a long time! It seems that she will run in front of Zhou Xiaosan to sue him for accepting bribes!

You must know that the pills she made casually have a better effect than the pills in the workshop, and the spirit stone water is added more on the one hand, on the other hand, in the process of making it, the aura overflowing from the multicolored stones on her wrist acts on the middle of the medicine. An inconspicuous-looking pill is two to three times more effective than a pill produced in a workshop!

Therefore, after Steward Liu returned home and gave his old father a pill, the diarrhea immediately stopped, and his face became much more ruddy. Half a day later, I was able to go down to the ground and walk around the edge of the sacrificial field, and my body was more energetic than before I got sick. Steward Liu offered the remaining pills as holy medicine. These pills can be life-saving when necessary!! No wonder those rich people are eager for Tong Ren Tang's pills, no matter how much money they have, they can't buy their lives!

How could the news that the Zhou family steward had come to Yujia Zhuangzi to buy good seeds from other families who paid close attention to high-yield wheat seeds? There were many rich people in Tanggu, even if they were from business, which family didn't buy hundreds of acres of fertile land when they bought their family property? These real estate properties are a must, okay?

The second person to come over to buy good seeds was the Yao family, who didn't eat vegetables from the Yu family. The steward of the Yao family has been promoted to the powerful steward of the old lady's side, but after all, he is more familiar with the Yu family, so he was sent to contact the Yu family for a small time.

He didn't bother Yu Hai, who was busy in the field, and directly found Yu Xiaocao, who was raising corn seeds, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, Miss Yu is okay?" ”

"Steward Yao! It's been a long time since I've seen you, and I've heard that you've been promoted to the rank of chief steward. Congratulations! Yu Xiaocao congratulated him.

Steward Yao shook his hand again and again, and said modestly: "Isn't it the light of the Yu family?" The vegetables of the Yu family made me show my face in front of the old lady, and thanks to the old lady's wrong love, I transferred the old slave to serve him. It's a pity that most of your family's dishes have been spoiled by the Japanese bandits...... I can't buy the vegetables of the Yu family, our old lady has reduced the amount of food, and when it is time to eat, he sighs at the vegetables! Miss Yu, I don't know when your house will be completed? ”

"It's still early in the house! However, we decided to open up a vegetable garden on Zhuangzi and grow some seasonal vegetables for Tanggu and the surrounding area. The growth cycle of green leafy vegetables is short, and after ten days and half a month, it may be ready to go on the market! ”

Yu Xiaocao has long wanted to expand the scope of vegetable planting. The few acres of land in the yard of the family have gradually been unable to supply the treasures of Tanggu and Fucheng, and the big households that came to buy vegetables in Tanggu Town, except for the old people like the Yao family, have stopped supplying. Those who are used to eating the vegetables of the Yu family are full of complaints.

Now, the Zhou family has opened another treasure house at the wharf, which is larger than the scale of Tanggu and Fucheng, and it is also a comprehensive hotel integrating accommodation, food and bathing. Wednesday was busy and went to Dongshan Village, pestering her to overcome all difficulties and ensure the supply of vegetables in the Zhenyulou port store, and strive for a hit. Let those merchants who come and go, as soon as they arrive at Tanggu Port, they will think of Zhenyulou...... In this way, it is urgent to expand vegetable cultivation!

Fortunately, the Zhuangzi of the Yu family is closer to Tanggu and Fucheng than Dongshan Village, and in front of Zhuangzi is an official road from Tanggu to Fucheng, and the transportation is also more convenient. She discussed with her father, and first opened up a vegetable garden of ten acres on the Zhuangzi, and found two careful and loyal families to manage it. Later, the vegetable field on Zhuangzi was supplied to restaurants and people in Fucheng and Tanggu. Dongshan Village is closer to the port, and the vegetables in the yard at home are specially supplied to the delicacies of Tanggu Port!
