"Business is not easy to do in winter, and it is easier to lose money."

Li Shulan shook her head lightly, "As long as people come back safely, I hope there will be no accidents." ”

"Madame, rest assured, the weather is not particularly bad this year."

Aunt Xiyu comforted, "There will definitely be nothing wrong, let's wait for someone to come back." ”

"But as we wish."

Li Shulan smiled, "By the way, how is the sale of new dim sum in the past two days?" Unpopular? ”

"Needless to say, business must be good."

Aunt Xiyu smiled, "The best selling thing now is the new dim sum, which is especially popular with everyone, and the same is true for crispy meat, fortunately we have added people in the workshop, otherwise we wouldn't be busy at all." ”

"The business is good mainly because it is the end of the year, whether it is to buy relatives or to entertain guests, it will not be rude or too extravagant."

Li Shulan said softly: "After the New Year, rich families like this kind of dim sum will buy it back and eat it themselves, and we will make a fortune before the year." ”

"It's still Madame's idea, take this opportunity to launch a few new dim sums, which should be able to make up for our losses last month." ”

"There's no way to do it."

Li Shulan frowned slightly, "Don't look at Xiao Ti's family to calm down temporarily, the main reason is that Xiao Zhang's family is busy taking care of us, and she will definitely find trouble again after the New Year." ”

"So what."

Aunt Xiyu's eyes flashed with a cold glint, "If Xiao Zhang's dares to provoke us again, then don't blame us for being polite, I really think we are easy to bully, so let Xiao Zhang's enjoy the taste of being bullied." ”

"Look at what you said, it seems that we have the ability to overthrow the Xiao Zhang family."

Li Shulan couldn't help laughing, "Don't forget that there is also the Hou Mansion, if we really dare to do it, I'm afraid the people of the Hou Mansion will not agree." ”

"It's just a Xiao Zhang family, what is it in front of the people of the Hou Mansion."

A touch of disdain flashed in Aunt Xiyu's eyes, "With her or not, it has no impact on the Hou Mansion, and without this person, it's a big deal to marry another one." ”

"You~"

Li Shulan smiled noncommittally and didn't say anything more.

The next few days became more and more busy.

A few days later.

The Su family ushered in several unfamiliar carriages.

Li Shulan was surprised and surprised to see the person who came.

"Magu, why are you here?"

The person in front of her was the aunt in charge beside Mrs. Xu, who was more familiar to Li Shulan.

"The slave came to give the New Year's gift for the old lady."

Magu smiled and nodded, "By the way, you also sent it to Madame." ”

"The master and the master are so polite."

Li Shulan couldn't cry or laugh, "It was supposed to be me, the junior, who gave New Year's gifts to the master and the master's wife, how could they let the old man send someone back first." ”

"You're welcome, ma'am."

Magu responded with a smile, "When the second lady returned to Beijing, you sent someone to send a bunch of gifts, and the old lady was worried about it, this time it was not only a New Year's gift for you, but also for other people." ”

"The master and the master are preferred."

Li Shulan couldn't help but smile: "I'm also about to send someone to send a New Year's gift to the capital, since Magu is here, I will simply hand it over to you to take back, so I can save some carriage fares." ”

"Madame is joking."

Magu was amused and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Aunt Xiyu took the person away and went to the wing room to chat.

Magu, who came to give the New Year's gift, stayed for one night, and the next day she left with the New Year's gift prepared by Li Shulan.

After she left, the stewards of the two Zhuangzi also came.

People from Wushi Village and Xinzhuangzi brought in a lot of poultry, vegetables and fruits, which were obviously stored before the winter.

Receiving these things, Li Shulan was surprised and pleasantly surprised, and the return gift to the two villagers was also a little heavier.

Taking advantage of their arrival this time, by the way, next year's agricultural affairs will be arranged.

On this busy day, I came to the twentieth day of the lunar month in a blink of an eye.

There are only ten days left before the New Year.

It just so happens that the private schools of the two elementary schools have annual leave.

Li Shulan prepared two more cars of New Year's gifts and sent the three of them back to Sujia Village.

After they leave.

The merchant team has finally returned.

Seeing the people with weathered faces, Li Shulan was moved and relieved.

Although it was the first time to officially conduct business, the crowd did not disappoint her.

Not only did the goods he brought sell at a high price, but he also bought a batch of supplies back.

"Madam, in addition to buying things, I also brought back three thousand taels of silver this time."

Geng Wei continued to report, "If it weren't for the fact that we spent a lot of money outside this time, and seven or eight horses were broken on the road, which was beyond our expectations, otherwise we would have been able to bring back at least three thousand five hundred taels of silver." ”

"It's already pretty good."

Li Shulan said with a smile: "When you walk in winter, you will definitely need more things to consume, and it is normal for more than a dozen of you to use these silver taels in the past two or three months."

The most important thing is that your safety is important, the winter business is indeed more injured horses, this is something that cannot be helped, fortunately all of you are fine.

Everyone has worked hard, and each of the team members who went to business this time will be rewarded with a month's monthly money, as well as a New Year's gift for each person! ”

"Thank you, ma'am!"

Everyone couldn't help but smile happily when they heard this.

Seeing this, Li Shulan immediately asked the account office to return the monthly money and rewards to everyone.

Then I discussed with the team leader that I would go out after the fifteenth next year.

Everyone went back with a big reward.

Next.

Arrange workshops for holidays and on duty.

Coupled with the preparation of New Year's goods, Li Shulan and Aunt Xiyu were very busy.

Until the twenty-eighth year of the year, the three Su Wenxi brothers rushed back from Sujia Village.

Knowing from their brother that everything was fine in Sujia Village, Li Shulan was even more relieved.

sent away Su Zhengzhong's brothers and sisters and Su Dakun who went home for the New Year.

The family celebrates their first Chinese New Year's Eve in the state capital.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the countryside for the New Year, the New Year in the state capital is another lively.

From the beginning of the Lunar New Year to the 15th day of the year, the market is no longer closed to late-night snacks, and it is very lively both day and night.

The three brothers who spent the New Year in the state capital for the first time ran out every day......

Li Shulan took advantage of the Chinese New Year to rest for a few days.

It's also a lot easier to take the next person.

"Xi'er, why haven't they come back yet?"

Li Shulan frowned, "It's about to be the beginning of the day, why did you play so late today." ”

"Madame, don't worry, someone is following."

Aunt Xiyu added hot tea to her, "If something happens, I will come back to report it, and the eldest prince should be back soon."

Then.

Mo Xuan's voice came: "Madam, Xiao Kai beside the eldest prince asks to see you." ”

"Xiao Kai?"

Li Shulan couldn't help but look at Aunt Xiyu.

A bad feeling rose in the hearts of both the master and servant.

So he commanded: "Let Xiao Kai come in quickly." ”

"Yes."

Mo Xuan turned around and went to bring people into the inner courtyard.

Li Shulan saw that his expression was quite calm, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Kai, why did you come back first, Wenxi and their brothers?" ”

Su Xiaokai hurriedly responded, "Aunt Lan, the eldest son, they are still outside to help, and they will not come back until a while." ”
