Chapter 281: New Year's Gift

Liu Paner's attention returned to farming and improving farm tools, and as for the rest, she did it by the way.

Liu Paner prepared three New Year's gifts to go to the county seat, one for Mrs. Gu, one for Mrs. Liu of the county commander's family, and one for Mrs. Zhao of the prefect's family in Xunyang Prefecture.

It's just far away, this New Year's gift, along with Mrs. Liu's New Year's gift, was sent to Mrs. Zhao in Xunyang Mansion.

The New Year's gift is very simple, four horses of different colors of silk and eight horses of different colors of fine cotton cloth, all dyed in their own dyeing workshop.

The colors are bright and bright, and they are timeless.

In addition, there are recently made lip grease and nail polish. After being tested by Liu Paner, it is easy to use and non-toxic, has a good moisturizing effect on the lips, and the color is also good-looking.

Each family has a set, the New Year's gift is very good, and it is very exquisite.

Mrs. Liu immediately assured, "Mrs. Derui can rest assured, these things will be properly delivered to Xunyang Mansion." ”

Every year, I have to give gifts to Shangguan, and this year is no exception.

Because I was waiting for Liu Pan'er before, I haven't sent it yet.

Seeing the things sent by Liu Paner, Mrs. Liu also liked it quite a lot, and she firmly remembered her husband's words and must be good friends with Mrs. Derui.

"Thank you, Mrs. Liu." Liu Pan'er thanked, "I may not go to the city many times after the year, if Mrs. Liu has something, just send someone to find me." ”

Mrs. Liu smiled, "That's a must." Madame is busy with the New Year's Day? Tell me if you need it. What I can't do is my master. My lord can't do it, and he can still find the prefect of Zhao above. ”

Liu Pan'er smiled lightly, and was even more polite, "Thank you Lord Liu and Mrs. Liu for paying so much attention to me, spring plowing will be coming up next year." Last year, when I was farming, I found that when I ploughed the land, I couldn't turn around. The south is mountainous, a lot of land is in the mountains, the shape of the land is irregular, when ploughing the land, the iron plow can not turn, it is time-consuming. I'm trying to see if I can make an iron plough that can bend and improve efficiency and save effort. ”

Originally, I thought that Liu Paner would expand her business and make more money, but she didn't expect that Liu Paner's eyes were still on farming.

Mrs. Liu was in awe, this Mrs. Derui is worthy of being the lady of His Majesty's personal title, and what she thinks about is not gold, silver, jewelry, rouge, gouache, and silk and satin, but agricultural tools that can improve the people of the world.

Mrs. Liu got up with admiration on her face, "Madame's righteousness is respectful." Well, ma'am, I'll send you two skillful craftsmen in the next few days. If you have any good ideas, you can't try them yourself, and you will leave the rough work to them. All expenses are from the county government. ”

Liu Paner said in front of Mrs. Liu that she wanted to cooperate with Liu County, she produced drawings and some ideas, and Lord Liu of the county government was responsible for paying for and manpower, and when the time came, Quyuan plow would be made.

The credit belongs to everyone, so that they can get the protection of Lord Liu of the county government, and they can also befriend Lord Liu and Mrs. Liu.

Liu Paner can find skillful craftsmen even if she has money, but she can indeed get a lot of benefits in the short term by working behind closed doors and taking credit alone, but she has always kept a sentence in mind.

It is difficult to make a forest alone.

Only by doing things together and getting credit and rewards can we form a whole of interests and further expand our influence.

No matter what you want to do, you can get more help.

Liu Pan'er said with a smile: "Thank you, Mrs. Liu, when you find the right person, I will trouble you to send someone over." If you improve it early, you can make it earlier and seize the agricultural time. ”

When Mrs. Liu saw Liu Pan'er agree, she smiled even more, but it was just a matter of spending some silver. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter. If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement, and this matter has a credit to her husband.

"Well, I will select the best carpenters and blacksmiths and send them to Madame." Mrs. Liu should agree, she can agree to this matter without discussing it with her husband.

After greeting for a while, Liu Paner said goodbye and left and went to Gu's house to give gifts.

Old Madam Gu looked at Liu Pan'er with a ruddy face, liked it very much, took Liu Pan'er's hand, and said a lot. After lunch, Liu Paner went home.

The next day, Liu Paner prepared another New Year's gift and took a carriage to Heisha Town.

With the protection of Mayor Tang, no one came to disturb him, and the business of Buzhuang was very good. Therefore, the New Year's gift must be given.

This time, Liu Paner also brought Li Dabao.

After the New Year, Li Dabao will be eleven, and he is a half-grown young man, and learning human relations as soon as possible will be of great benefit to the future.

Yan was also quite happy to see Liu Paner bring Li Dabao over.

Li Dabao stepped forward and saluted, "Aunt Yan, Sister Xiaomei, Happy New Year." ”

Yan smiled, "Dabao, also a happy New Year." ”

Yan Xiaomei saw that Li Dabao did not have contempt in his eyes, so she stood up from behind her mother, "Brother Dabao, Happy New Year." ”

This time, Liu Paner not only came to give a gift to the festival, but the leopard that followed behind also loaded a large cart of silk and cotton cloth.

Yan Shi poured two cups of hot tea and said with a smile: "I was about to bring you a letter!" Business has been particularly good in the past few days, and the family's inventory is about to be sold out. ”

Liu Paner praised, "Yes, very good." I see that your mother and daughter are quite lonely, usually busy with business and cooking for themselves. Why don't you do this, I'll give you ten taels of silver, and you can buy a mother-in-law or a little maid by yourself, and be responsible for cooking and doing chores. ”

Yan chuckled, "I was about to tell Sister Liu, some time ago, there was a woman whose parents died and sold her body to bury her mother. The people I wanted to buy were all the old men and the people in the Qinglou, and I thought it was pitiful, so I bought it for fifteen taels of silver. He is thirteen years old this year, a little older than Xiaomei. Make a fire, cook, wash clothes, you can do all these things. This is my servant for my money, and I don't need you to pay for it. ”

At this time, a thin little girl came in with a pot of hot water.

Liu Pan'er saw that this little girl was very clean and diligent, and she had no father or mother, so she could do things here without worry.

"That's okay, I won't rob you." Liu Pan'er should obey and respect Yan's decision.

Yan took the account book and his daughter together to reconcile the accounts with Liu Paner, and handed over the money earned to Liu Paner after deducting various expenses.

Liu Paner counted well, and sighed in her heart, she still did business to make money.

The cloth village in Heisha Town can sell 500 pieces of cloth every month, of which cotton cloth accounts for 90% and silk accounts for only 10%, but the profit of silk is quite large. The net profit of a month amounted to sixty taels of silver.

Layue's business is better, and it is expected that it can sell more than 600 pieces of cloth, and the profit can reach more than 70 taels of silver. In this way, there will be nearly a thousand taels of silver in a year.

Liu Paner paid Yan and Yan Xiaomei, and then gave a bonus of five taels of silver, and in addition, she also rewarded Yan and Yan Xiaomei with twenty feet of silk, and the color can be chosen.
