With a capable and diligent person like Xu Kui to help her do things, Xu Yin is really much easier.

If it weren't for the fact that there were regulations on the monthly increase in the house, she would have wanted to directly raise it to one hundred taels for him, and one person would use it for three people, and she wouldn't want to give him three times the salary?

Later, Xu Yin thought about it, it didn't hurt to only increase the monthly money twice at most, and the rest would be his shareholding.

She plans to make Xu's Fragrance into a group company, and at present, in addition to her, Xu Kui is the first senior executive to become a shareholder.

I took the time to sort out Xu's current projects, and found that in addition to the Treasure Pavilion and ordinary spice business in Beijing, in just two years, the group's business has expanded into three more items, namely fragrance, wine, and greenhouse vegetables.

…… emmm, the last item feels a bit messy.

It has nothing to do with the system task she's trying to complete.

But I have to deny: in the winter when Chinese cabbage, potatoes, radishes and other root vegetables are mainly stored, what a happy thing it is to have fresh and tender green vegetables to eat!

Although at present, with the planting volume of the No. 1 and No. 2 greenhouse bases, plus the Lin Mansion, it is estimated that it can only barely supply the elite class in Los Angeles.

However, as the greenhouse technology becomes more and more proficient, businessmen see business opportunities and invest more and more in greenhouse planting, and green vegetables will sooner or later be served on the table of ordinary people in winter.

As she expected, this winter, there were a few more fresh greens on the dining table of the powerful families in Los Angeles.

If these magnates only put seven or eight green fresh vegetables on important festivals such as Laba, they can eat two or three green fresh vegetables at noon on ordinary days, and they are only on the table of serious masters.

It's really a snow-covered winter, and the fresh vegetable market is too sought-after.

You can't buy goods with money.

Lin Mansion, which was planted with Xu Yin, was arrogant this winter: even the refreshing green melon could be seen for breakfast.

"The idea of the virtuous niece, the old man really admires it!"

Since the beginning of winter, Mr. Lin has eaten the green vegetables provided by his own Zhuangzi and praised Xu Yin every day.

I don't know if Xu Yin sneezed constantly, but Mrs. Lin's ears were calloused.

She smiled and said, "This is still said by the master, even the prefect praised her!" If it weren't for the filial piety period, on the birthday of the prefect's wife, she would have wanted to invite her to the wedding banquet. ”

"Life flies quickly, and filial piety will be released in three months, right?" Master Lin calculated the time and sighed, "Unknowingly, Xu Ningxiang and his wife have been gone for almost three years. The world is really impermanent! ”

Mrs. Lin thought of another thing: "After filial piety, Xu Mansion is afraid that it will not be quiet." Yin Yin's age is also just talking about marriage, and the school-age children in the entire Los Angeles City are afraid that they want to marry her. ”

Marrying her is equivalent to marrying the huge family property of the Xu Mansion!

Don't talk about filial piety, even in the past two years, she has attended some tea parties and flower viewing parties, and she can hear a few voices inquiring about Xu Fu and Xian's niece.

"It's a pity, our son has a family, otherwise even I would be tempted." Mrs. Lin smiled self-deprecatingly.

"The situation of the virtuous niece ......" Master Lin stroked his beard and analyzed it slowly, "The most suitable thing is to recruit a son-in-law." ”

"Like her mother?" Mrs. Lin shook her head, "The idea of a concubine is different from that of the master, and those who are willing to join are often from poor families, and they are forced to stay in the woman's house only when they are forced to do so." If you have a good family background, which one is willing to get rich? But how many people from poor families have a big future? Don't talk about others, just say Yinyin's father, people are good, kind, not greedy or lazy, but what else? I have studied with the old lady for many years, but I still lack something, and Xu Ningxiang still takes care of the business affairs? I think Yin Yin should find a young and promising husband with a similar family background. If you get married, you can still take on the family business, have a few more children in the future, let one child be surnamed Xu, inherit the family business of Xufu, like my maternal cousin, she is also an only daughter, with three sons and one daughter, and the second son follows her surname. ”

"Madame's words are wrong." Master Lin shook his head, "If you marry into your in-law's family with a comparable family background, you still have to deal with all kinds of affairs of your in-law's family after you get married, how can you still have time to take care of your mother's business?" As for the children, it is even more unpredictable. In case, as the Xu family did before, the only generation is passed on, will the in-laws allow the only grandson to be surnamed Xu? ”

Master Lin hit the nail on the head: "The old man dares to judge: knowing the situation of the virtuous niece, he still earnestly asks for marriage and does not want to get involved, obviously he came to the family property behind the virtuous niece. How could they agree that their grandson's surname was Xu? surnamed Xu and became the Xu family, what does everything in the Xu family have to do with them? ”

Mrs. Lin was stunned by the master, and then quickly figured it out, and stood up anxiously: "Then I have to mention a few words about Yinyin." ”

"Huh! Madame is in a hurry again, and she hasn't been filial yet! ”

"......" too!

Xu Yin didn't know that someone was worried about her life's events at the moment.

She was comfortably roasting on the fire, eating cucumbers grown in her own greenhouse, and was flipping through the account books sent by the shopkeepers, including Xu Kui.

Approaching the end of the year, each shop began to take stock of this year's income, and sent it to Xu Yin after the inventory.

This year, the Xu family's business hit a new high, whether it is traditional spices or newly launched fragrances, sales are good.

It is difficult to say how profitable the winery and greenhouse vegetables will be.

The former has just been acquired, and it is mainly used to supply vodka alcohol stock solution for flavoring, and occasionally make some ordinary liquor.

What's more, this year's takeaway is still the old wine left in the brewery.

How else to say that Xu Kui is lucky. It only cost 500 taels of silver, not only to acquire a winery with complete winemaking facilities, but also to pick up several large jars of wine for aging.

After the makeover, it gave it the auspicious name of "Zhuangyuan Hong", absorbed the group of readers as long-term customers, and made a wave of advertisements for Xu's Distillery.

There is such an effect in the early stage, as long as it is stabilized in the later stage, the old master and the old equipment will make the wine, which is as good as ever, is it far from making money every day?

Let's talk about greenhouse vegetables, don't look at the powerful people rushing to buy them, but the early investment is not small.

The No. 1 base in Xujia Village uses the original rafters of the nunnery, and the scale is relatively small, and the investment cost is mainly in labor.

But the Zhuangzi in the southern foothills of the mountain, which was built from scratch and was built on the ground, and the entire Zhuangzi was rebuilt into greenhouses, how big is the scale? Foundations, rafters, roofs...... If you want to survive the winter snow, you have to cover it very strongly.

Removing this large expense, and then subtracting various labor and trivial costs, the loss is not enough, but the profit is really not much.

However, a good start is half the battle, this year's investment is mainly not lost, can it be worse to wait for dividends next year?

Xu Yin finished flipping through the account book, sent a red envelope to the shopkeepers of each shop, got up and stretched, walked out of the courtyard, and enjoyed the sunset close at hand.

Everything is going in a good direction, which is good!
