The current Yu Ji braised vegetable shop belongs to two joint ventures. She contributed funds and prescriptions, and her aunt's family operated and managed, and dividends were four or six at the end of the year.

At the end of last year, Xiaocao received a dividend from her cousin Liu Junping, and was surprised by the abundance of the silver, and repeatedly inquired, for fear that her aunt would give her more profits. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I believe my cousin's repeated assurances. Looking at it this way, this year's dividends will be even more generous!

Looking at the orderly queue waiting for wholesale, Yu Xiaocao and Liu Xiaoyan sisters both showed satisfied smiles. Suddenly, in the crowd in line, a familiar figure appeared: gray hair, old face, slightly fierce hanging eyes, and deep nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth, which made her look even more mean - this is not Xiaocao's cheap grandmother Zhang!

The Zhang family has disappeared from Xiaocao's sight for more than two years, and she can't even remember this person. After these two years, Zhang looks much older, his previously straight waist is bent, the wrinkles on his face seem to have been carved, and his hair is more than half gray.

Seeing her, Xiaocao couldn't help but think of her grandfather. After years of careful care of small herbal food and the nourishment of spiritual stone water, the original weak body has become tough, and the eldest brother wrote a letter saying that when the farm is busy, the grandfather is more energetic than the young man. Maybe it's because I'm fat, and the wrinkles on my face seem to be much less. If he stood with Zhang at this time, Zhang, who was seven or eight years younger than him, definitely looked like his old sister!

Liu Xiaoyan sighed lightly and said, "Since moving out of Dongshan Village, the Zhang family has been taking goods from our store and selling them in the vegetable market in the south of the city. In the past, she only used her mouth to do the work at home. Now in order to provide for my little uncle to study and maintain the livelihood of the two of them, even if it is windy and rainy, the sun and rain, they have to go out of the stall to buy goods. Fortunately, our braised meat is very marketable, and I heard from my mother that she was not lazy when she was young, and her business was doing well. It is said that he has rented a lot of shops in the vegetable market, and in addition to selling braised vegetables, he has also approved some vegetables from vegetable farmers to sell ......."

"Where's Uncle? I heard that he was admitted to Xiucai this year. Her hard work is not in vain, is it? Remembering that when she just crossed over, the family was rubbed by her and became inhuman, and Yu Xiaocao couldn't sympathize with her at all.

Liu Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Although my mother hates Zhang's ruthlessness, she can't be ruthless to her half-uncle. I went to my uncle's school every now and then and brought him something to eat. From time to time, my grandfather asked someone to bring him some money. ”

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment and continued: "Since the things committed by the Zhang family were announced to the world and moved out of Dongshan Village, the little uncle seems to have grown a lot. The previous impetuousness, selfishness, and cunning were all put aside, and they threw themselves into the school. After two or three years of hard work, I finally got my wish to be admitted to the show. However, the results are relatively low, unlike our small stones, which can be received by rice. My mother inquired with the gentleman in their school, and the gentleman said that with the talent of the little uncle, he could barely pass the examination in the future, which was already the best result. Jinshi or something, don't think about it! ”

If the uncle can pass the examination, he will have imperial food to eat every year, and he can also reduce or exempt taxes. Zhang will do business for a few more years, save some money to buy some land, even if he doesn't cultivate himself, leasing it to others is a purchase. In that case, can the grandfather's worries and worries about this little son be put down?

Zhang also saw Xiaocao at this time, her face changed significantly, and her eyes that met Xiaocao quickly dodged, and she hid behind the person in front of her with her thin and rickety body.

The news that Xiaocao was crowned the county lord also spread to the prefecture. The aunt and uncle felt honored, not only bought the longest firecracker and set it off, but also sold the braised vegetables at a 20% discount for three consecutive days. The prefect of Jinwei Mansion has expired and has been transferred back to the capital, and now the backstage of Yu Ji Braised Vegetable Shop is harder. In addition to the king of Yangjun, there is another county lord who is personally appointed by the emperor. This is also a big reason why Yu Ji braised vegetable shop is becoming more and more popular, but no one dares to come over to find trouble.

At that time, Zhang was in the crowd of people who bought the goods. Seeing the raised eyebrows and high-spirited faces of Aunt Xiaocao's family, her heart was so regretful that her intestines were blue. If she had been nicer to Xiaocao's family and less harsh and eccentric, she would have been able to follow suit. Perhaps, at this time, she is like the old man, she has become an old feudal lord in the family, and she can even live in a big mansion in the capital, with a group of maids and servants waiting, and she can enjoy endless glory and wealth......

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it. Since the revelation that she secretly harmed Xiaocao's grandmother, the Yu family has become strangers to her, and they are tired of each other. Zhang avoided Xiaocao's sight, for fear that she, as the county lord, would remember her previous sins and let people arrest her in prison.

As soon as she is old, it doesn't matter if she goes to prison or even kills her head. But she was worried that her youngest son, who was not treated well by the rest of the family, would be implicated. Even if the Yu family cares about family affection and lets go of their youngest son, but without her, the youngest son has lost his source of livelihood, how can he concentrate on learning?

Zhang decided that when he saw the Yu family in the future, he would take a detour, even if he couldn't get around, he would lower his posture and accompany the smiling face. As long as they don't hold her accountable for her previous wrongs, she can even kneel in front of them and beg for forgiveness.

She is also the heart of a villain. Before she appeared, Xiaocao had already forgotten her. Besides, an old woman who is nearly sixty years old has to work hard every day, not only to support herself, but also to support her younger son's family. In Xiaocao's view, the hardships and hardships of life are the best torture and punishment for her.

stayed in Fucheng for two days, and then mixed the crystal meat, tied the hooves, and Zhou Heiya's sweet and spicy recipes, and handed them over to the aunt and cousin Xiaoyan. There are more than 20 days left before the Chinese New Year, and the business will be even more hot when you go to a new variety of pickled vegetable shop.

Leaving Fucheng, she stayed in Tanggu for another two days. Tanggu's greenhouse vegetables, melons and fruits were all monopolized by the Yu family. In the past two years, the Yu family has exceeded 3,000 acres of land, which is the largest private farm in Tanggu. Two thousand acres of farmland were planted with high-yield winter wheat, and the remaining 1,000 acres were all set up in greenhouses after autumn. Vegetable merchants and restaurants in Tanggu and surrounding states and counties all purchase fresh vegetables and fruits from Yujia.

The prices of vegetables and fruits in greenhouses are several times or even ten times more expensive than those in season, and the profits can be imagined. It is not for nothing that they want to steal greenhouse farming technology. However, only the workshops under the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court can produce such a thing as a single plastic film, and the output is extremely low. Not everyone can get it!

The greenhouses in Beijing are monopolized by the royal family, and other powerful people are not greedy. However, only fools will do things that compete with the royal family. Some of them have tried in the state capital, which is far away from the capital, and some clans have also built greenhouses in their fiefdoms. But there is no grass spirit stone water cheat, and there is a lack of planting experience, vegetables and melons and fruits grow crooked melons and cracked dates, and even the cost may not be recovered. The failure of these people's attempts made other clan magnates who were ready to move stop thinking about following suit. Greenhouse farming technology is still a monopoly.

Now is the time when greenhouse vegetables and melons and fruits are selling hot, except for Yu Xiaolian, who takes care of the medicine shop in Dongshan Village, everyone else is busy in Zhuangzi. Even the old man, who has become younger and younger in recent years, is also picking vegetables and weighing vegetables, and he is very busy. Although the family has hired a lot of long-term workers and has enough manpower, the old man is full of enthusiasm and just can't be idle. The family saw that he was getting busier and better, so they let him go with him.

"Dad, mother! Your grass is back!! Seeing his father and mother busy weighing and settling accounts in front of the warehouse from a distance, Yu Xiaocao opened his throat and roared from afar.

Faintly hearing the voice of the little daughter, Yu Hai and his family still felt that they were hallucinating. Zhuang Xiaomo saw the petite figure riding on the red horse in the distance, galloping, grinned, and hurriedly said to Yu Hailiu: "Uncle Yu, aunt, it's Xiaocao who is back!" Go and greet you, I'm not in a hurry. ”

Zhuang Xiaomo has settled in Dongshan Village since he was plagued. As he grew older, he became more and more sure of his thoughts about Xiaolian, a capable little girl. However, looking at the Yu family's growing family business, Zhuang Xiaomo felt pressured.

Although Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu treat him like a son, they send good food from time to time, and almost all of their clothes, shoes and socks are from Aunt Yu's hands. But he is seventeen years old, and he knows very well in his heart that if he wants to ask to marry Yu Xiaolian, it is not enough to have character and sincerity, but also to create a rich living environment for her.

So, when Xiaocao came back last year to supervise the construction of a vegetable greenhouse, he mentioned the matter of the vegetable and fruit shop in Beijing. When Zhuang Xiaomo heard this, he had an idea in his heart and decided to set up a shop in Tanggu that specializes in selling greenhouse vegetables.

He didn't have much money in his hands, so he originally wanted to rent a stall in the vegetable market first, starting with a stall. After Uncle Yu heard about his idea, he expressed his strong support. But his plan to set up a stall to sell vegetables in the greenhouse was overturned by Uncle Yu. After Uncle Yu's analysis, his heart was suddenly in his heart. Most of the people who go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables are civilians, who can afford to eat expensive counterattack vegetables?

In the end, Uncle Yu provided him with "start-up" funds, rented two shops in the rich area in the west of the ancient Tang Dynasty, and opened the first boutique vegetable and fruit shop in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, this fund is borrowed by him, and he will return it to Uncle Yu in batches after making money.

In the autumn and winter of last year, Zhuang Xiaomo's vegetable and fruit shop made a lot of money. The greenhouses of the Yu family only provide wholesale services, and retail stores do not accept any other customers except for a few regular customers. Tanggu has never lacked rich people, so the greenhouse vegetables in Zhuang Xiaomo's shop have become hot.

In order to make it easier to buy goods, he bought a donkey cart. Every day before dawn to rush to the suburbs to buy goods, busy selling goods at noon in the morning, sometimes when the business is good, but also to make up a car of goods in the afternoon. Every day is busy but fulfilling.
