After that, Pearl asked Master Liu Hai to make a carriage that was also done, the carriage was much larger than the Liu family's ox cart, and it was higher, and the shed was made of old quilts for the roof, and the quilt was felt, and the felt was oilcloth, and then the blue coarse cloth. The car also has windows and thick curtains. You can also put a stove in the carriage, which is fixed to the carriage and can be taken down in the summer. Put bamboo charcoal in the stove, connect a copper pipe to the outside of the car, and the stove can be burned all the time, just add bamboo charcoal. The car was covered with pearls and felt. It won't be cold even in winter.

The whole car is made of fine hardwood, soaked in tung oil, and the key parts are fixed with iron, and the wheels are especially important, which are also reinforced with a lot of things, and there is a spare wheel tied under the carriage. The car was delivered, and it was almost time to buy a horse, and it didn't take long for Liu Tonghammer to send a good horse, which cost twenty taels of silver! The carriage was custom-made, and it also cost four taels of silver. Originally, Pearl planned to hire someone to take care of this horse, but Old Man Ming said that he would not do anything, he would take care of the horses. Pearl doesn't have much to say, so she can only agree.

The gifts brought back by the Hou Mansion were also delivered quickly, and the old lady Chen knew very well that the things given by the pearl were very precious and rare, and they were very valuable. said that the sword sent last time, the third son got it, he was very excited, and wrote to tell the old lady, saying that he was in the army, and someone bought a sword, which cost 20,000 taels of silver, but such a knife is not as good as his own. This time, the blanket sent by the pearl was soft and thick, and it was also moisture-proof. Very warm. The pattern and style are even more beautiful, and there is no such good thing in the whole capital. simply took off the four blankets sent by the pearl, sent one to the third child at the border, and sent one to the queen mother and the emperor and queen in the palace, and the Hou Mansion was rewarded again, and the eldest son is now more and more dignified in front of the emperor. Even he and the female relatives of the family, at the palace banquet, were very much watched by the queen mother and the queen, and the scenery was infinite for a while.

It's just that now the old lady has something on her mind. There are more and more socials at home, there are more people, and the cost is increasing every year. Originally, there were 200,000 taels of silver in the house, and the annual income from the Zhuangzi and the shop was enough for the expenses of the house, and he could save 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver, but now, his son has been promoted, and there are many people who come and go, and he can't make ends meet. Moreover, seeing that the grandchildren in the family are all older, they all need silver, and marrying a granddaughter is not ugly to ask for 10,000 taels of silver. This number is also indispensable for marrying a daughter-in-law. When the treasury in the house is gone, only his own private room will remain. The old lady is not distressed about the private house, but this private house will always spend a day, and the family's income is certain, and the family's subordinates are under the management method of pearls, there is no possibility of corruption at all, and there is no place to save at all, since there is no, then you have to find a way to make money. It's hard to buy land, and it's useless to buy it from a shop to collect rent. It's hard!

This time, the gift from the Hou Mansion to the pearl was not divided into the old lady and several ladies, and it was given by the entire Hou Mansion. He gave pearls a pair of rhino horn cups and six silk horses, all of which were given by the palace. There is also a set of red gold emerald gemstone heads. Four boxes of tea were delivered, and four jars of good wine were delivered.

What kind of person is Pearl? I know the Hou Mansion very well, especially the economic situation of the Hou Mansion, and you can see the economic situation of the Hou Mansion from the things sent by the old lady. Although the old lady's letter to Pearl didn't say anything this time, the rhino horn cup was the old lady's private room. Pearl has been with the old lady for so many years, where would she not know the reason for this, thought about it, and wrote a letter to the old lady, saying that she planned to make a soap factory, hire people, buy materials, and Pearl came by herself. This is done not for anything else, but for the fear of the formula leaking. Pearl plans to give the Hou Mansion 30% of the dry shares, and also specifically mentioned that the soap must be profitable, and without the Hou Mansion to take care of it, there is no way to open it. Pearl is afraid that there are many people with red eyes, so he told the old lady that if he can eat it, three percent of it will be left, and if he can't eat it, he will send one or two percent away, which is also a favor. There is also an extra layer of protection for business. Pearl told the old lady that preparations would begin in February.

This matter is really a bit difficult to handle, there is no one at hand, it is the most critical problem, it didn't take long for Hou Da, the third steward of the house, to come with the kid Huang Shenghe, and Pearl immediately sent these two people out to buy slaves. Pearl instructed them to buy those honest people, it doesn't matter if they drag their families, they gave Hou Da a silver ticket of 250 taels, but they didn't expect it, but Hou Da didn't answer, saying that the old lady had spoken, since she accounted for thirty percent of the shares, it was naturally not good to have no money at all, this time out, the old lady took 10,000 taels of silver from her private house to him. Pearl nodded, understanding that the old lady didn't want to give up the shares for the time being. With so much money to buy shares, it is also thanks to the old lady who believes in her.

Even if the factory is on the Zhuangzi of Pearl, where the factory is ready, the pearl plans to plant a lot of flowers this year, she has rose seeds in her hands, there are also lavender seeds, this year are going to be planted, roses, jasmine, osmanthus, gardenias, peony flowers, cloves, freesia, lily of the valley, these are common spice ingredients, laurel needs to be planted, this can be planted around the Zhuangzi.

After the beginning of spring, Pearl will buy cattle, because there are too many fields at home, and the cattle will be very useful, and when the time comes, he will hire someone from the village to take care of it. Pearl soap formula, I have books on the one hand, and some of them are learned from friends, friends are cosmetics micro-business, friends are handmade soap and perfume business, because it is natural, her business is quite good. Pearl often helps her, and naturally knows how to do it. What's more, her major is chemistry.

This New Year is good, the preparations at home are sufficient, mainly when the moon is full, the pigs and sheep sent by Qi Decheng are enough for everyone to have a good holiday. After the New Year, Pearl did not return home, because the child was too young to leave. Mingqian is about to prepare for the Tongsheng test again, so he doesn't have time.

Mingqian's little father is too curious about the child, he holds it when he is free, it's really unimaginable, so young, he has already been a father, Pearl feels very awkward every time he sees such a scene, and now Mingqian's temper is also big, of course, it's just when facing the child, especially when the child cries, Pearl's movements are too slow, he feels sorry for his son, and he has been glared at by Pearl a few times, so he can be honest.
