The three young men of the Xia family are heavy in summer, and they have taken a lot of trouble to pry Zhang Qi, definitely not just for the recipe for squeezing oil and 10,000 catties of peony seeds? Xia Chongshuang's move, from the perspective of Lan Yi and the others, is indeed difficult to understand. Lan Yi remembered that she had heard that he and Xia Chongxiao had disagreed before, and thought that his move should have another meaning.

Xia Shun secretly raised his eyes to observe the eldest young master's face, the third young master did this for other purposes, Xia Shun thought that it was not easy to explain the reason.

Xia Chongxiao knew that he owed Lan Yi and the three of them an explanation, if this business was just his and his sister's, there was still fifty percent of Lan Yi's shares, it would not be just his own business.

"Sister Lan, Xia Chongshuang's move is actually aimed at me and Xiao Qi."

Hearing Xia Chongxiao directly mention the reason, Xia Shun looked up in surprise, he didn't expect Xia Chongxiao to attach so much importance to the affairs of Lan Yi and Shang Ji, and he was willing to tell these things.

Lan Yi smiled apologetically, "Brother Xia, I didn't want to inquire about your private affairs. Xia Chongshuang's move is aimed at you and even more so at our business, we must understand a thing or two about his intentions, so that we can know it in our hearts. ”

Xia Chongxiao nodded and smiled calmly, "Lan Mei, Lin Xi, Lin Yuan, you also know that there are five sons in law in the Xia family, divided into big rooms, second rooms and third rooms, and the ancestors are still there, so they have never been separated." Although my third brother Xia Chongshuang has an indisputable appearance on his face, he has actually confronted me everywhere since he was a child, and he has to mix in everything I want to do. Heavy frost has extraordinary abilities, has always been eclectic, and has a wide range of friends. He...... The most glad thing is that I was frustrated and punished, but the third brother is not a big traitor, only likes some small means, after this I will be more wary of him, everyone rest assured. ”

When it comes to the secrets of the Xia family, Lan Yi and they don't want to ask much, "With such an annoying brother, the eldest brother will not be lonely on weekdays." ”

Xia Chongxiao was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "It's really not lonely." In addition, Chongshuang has a very close personal relationship with Cheng Zimu, the eldest young master of the Cheng family, and Cheng Zimu has a ...... to Xiaoqi There has always been a lot of control. His move did not mean to ask Zhang Qi about Xiao Qi's movements. Xiao Qi is afraid that it will be inconvenient to come to Shang Ji these days, and the things on Qingshan Fresh Fruit will have to work harder for everyone, as for Xiao Qi's greenhouse, Lan Mei, it is estimated that I will have to bother you to run a few more times, I really don't know how to manage it. Everyone must remember that except for a few of us, you must not say anything about Xiao Qi's shareholding, just say that he is just curious to find me. ”

Everyone nodded, and Lan Yi sighed, "Xiao Qi is grounded again?" Since the steward on the other side of the greenhouse was obviously invited by the eldest brother, and asked the eldest brother to give me more instructions, I can only help take care of the growth of the vegetables, and the eldest brother has to think more about the market. ”

Xia Chongxiao nodded, "It's difficult to travel in winter, Lan Mei has to go once or twice, and the vegetable market is ready to stare at it, so it's not a problem." ”

Thinking of the shopkeeper of Le Xiangju and the squinting white fat man Cheng Beiyou, Lan Yi suddenly felt that he hadn't seen him for a long time. But this person still left a deep impression on her, "Brother Xia, I think Cheng Beiyou is a talent who can be used." ”

Xia Chongxiao listened, and his always elegant face actually showed an ugly expression of a little constipation, but it was quickly covered up by him, "This person's ability is naturally not to be underestimated." He was sent by Cheng Zimu to supervise Xiao Qi, but it seems that he is out of the control of Cheng Zimu, and he is closer to Xiao Qi, I can't say which side he is on, Lan Mei still don't get too close to him, especially not to let him know that you have a good personal relationship with Xiao Qi, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Lan Yi raised her eyebrows, why did the more she listened to it, the more she felt a little infernal affairs? Xia Shun looked at Xia Chongxiao in a daze, he didn't expect the eldest young master to say such a thing, and he didn't know anything about Cheng Beiyou so clearly.

Xia Chongxiao saw that Xia Shun, who had always been alert and calm, rarely showed such an expression, and showed a little smile: "Xia Shun, you have to remember that in addition to me and Sister Wan, Sister Lan is also your master, everything related to Shang Ji, Sister Lan wants to know, you can tell you directly." ”

Xia Shun respectfully got up and responded. The eldest young master is talking about "things related to Shang Ji", which is already very large, he is an old man of the Xia family, and he naturally knows a lot of things. However, Lan Yi has always done things with scale, and he also knows what the eldest young master means, so there is no need to elaborate on the details.

Lan Yi saw that there was nothing to do, so she stood up, "Okay, everyone has read the manuscript, if there is no objection, let's go back and think about it for a few days, and then discuss it in detail at the next meeting." ”

Lin Yuan stood up and stretched, "Liuzi and Xiaoqi are not here, it seems that we will not be idle a year ago." ”

Xia Shun smiled, "The busier the better, the busier it is, the better our business is." ”

Lan Yi pretended to shake her head mysteriously, "Shopkeeper Xia, when we straighten out these daily trivial processes and put the affairs in the hands of the steward, we will only have a meeting to discuss major events related to the development of the business and important personnel appointments and dismissals, but it will be much easier than now, and we can still have a meeting while fishing and drinking at that time." ”

Everyone listened to Lan Yi's words, looked at each other and smiled, the prospect was really beautiful and attractive.

Xia Chongxiao stretched out his finger to Lan Yi's forehead, "With Lan Mei's clever plan, the eldest brother is waiting to be a leisurely riverside fisherman." Today is the day of the furnace, the house is lively, let's go, go home with me, my mother has been talking to you for a few days, and Lan Mei wants to talk to her old man about the marriage. ”

October 1st, is the opening day of the Great Zhou, there is a division to the palace into the furnace charcoal, the major temples set up a furnace fasting, the rich people also have to install a new warm pavilion on this day, low hanging embroidered curtains, reunion of the old and young, shallow singing, in order to open the furnace, the Xia family naturally has a lot of programs, Lan Yi does not want to join in this excitement.

"I'll visit my aunt another day, and I'm going to buy some things today."

Xia Chongxiao was not reluctant, and left the house after a few words. Lan Yi came in an ox cart with Lin Xi and Lin Yuan, and she wanted to go shopping, so the two of them naturally accompanied.

"Sister-in-law, what do you want to buy?" Lin Xi took the ox cart and turned around and asked.

The weather was getting colder and colder, Lan Yi hid her hand in her sleeve, "Buy some dishes and chopsticks to go back, there are not enough at home." ”

Wang Linyuan listened to it and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why do you need to go elsewhere to buy dishes and chopsticks, we have a batch of white porcelain from Quyang Dingyao in our grocery store, I remember that my sister-in-law likes white porcelain, right?" Why don't we pick and choose? ”

Dingyao white porcelain and Junyao celadon near Jingshi are well-known porcelain in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the price is naturally not cheap. Celadon is simple and atmospheric, Lan Yi likes celadon ornaments and pendants very much, but she prefers white porcelain for tableware, and feels that white can better bring out the color of the food itself.

"I can't use such a good one, just buy a few daily uses, the children at home are still young, and it's a pity that the white porcelain in the kiln has fallen." These porcelain, if left in modern times, are definitely valuable antiques, and Lan Yi is always a little reluctant.

Lin Xi tied the oxcart and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, although the white porcelain of the kiln is expensive, the cost only accounts for thirty percent, our batch is directly pulled from Quyang, and the best ones are selected to make tribute porcelain, which is the official family's leftovers, and the sister-in-law picks a few more." ”

This is the advantage of having a shop at home, and after a while, the guy in the store packed the porcelain that Lan Yi had picked up and carefully put it on the ox cart, and the three of them slowly returned to Beigou Village.

"The quality of our porcelain is good, but it is really not high-grade like this, and the box for porcelain is also a little simpler. We can design some beautiful and exquisite high-end wooden boxes, and put complete sets of dishes into them, so that they are not only good-looking, but also fall-proof, and the price will naturally go up. Lan Yijian said that suitable packaging can improve the ornamental and protective value of goods, and the packaging of Dazhou is mostly transportation packaging, and the sales packaging is not refined enough.

"Sister-in-law is right, I heard that the dishes that were paid tribute to the palace are packed in a delicate sandalwood box, and they are also accompanied by brocade, which is very beautiful." Wang Lin replied.

Wang Linxi now speaks with numbers, "Such a wooden box, with jujube wood, eucalyptus and ash, hollow carved pattern and then painted with colored lacquer, absolutely beautiful, the cost price is not as good as porcelain, but I estimate that the price can be increased by more than three percent, this thing can be done." ”

Wang Linxi quickly transformed from a taciturn farmer to a shrewd and calm businessman, which made Lan Yi feel a sense of accomplishment, "What the second brother said is right, think about it again, there are still many good things in our groceries that can also be changed according to this idea." Those who are planning to pick up gifts to give to others will love this beautiful and practical thing. ”

Wang Linxi and Wang Linyuan were encouraged and began to propose a better one with great interest, Lan Yi also thought seriously and put forward his own ideas, and more than half an hour passed quickly.

When he got out of the car, Wang Linyuan asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, you bought four of these big white porcelain bowls, what are you going to do with them?" The porridge is also too big. ”

Lan Yi blushed, these big bowls were prepared for Zhou Weiji, he had a big appetite, and the small bowls at home were not enjoyable enough to eat, Lan Yi didn't want him to eat in front of the jar all the time.

Now as long as Zhou Weiji is at home, Lan Yi will prepare dinner for him, and when it is done, he will knock on the wall and hand it over, and the two will also say a few words across the wall, warm and sweet.

After Zhou Weiji finished eating, he always brushed the jars and bowls clean, and sometimes put some small gifts for Lan Yi in the basket. Sometimes it's the fruit that is rarely seen here, and sometimes it's the books he bought for Lan Yi. Yesterday, he gave Lan Yi an anecdote about the poet of the previous dynasty, and a note was sandwiched in the middle, asking her to meet at two o'clock tonight.

Zhou Weiji's handwriting is much better than hers, neat and beautiful, and very powerful. The ancients learned to write calligraphy since childhood, and she naturally can't compare with her halfway monk.

Thinking of his deserted home, Lan Yi prepared enough food this time and planned to accompany Zhou Weiji to dinner.

The size of the furnace opening day is also a festival, and it can be regarded as a festival for the two of them. Of course, she knew that Zhou Weiji's cold-resistant Cheng dù would not have started a fire kang so early. R1152
