Sunset.

The orange light sprinkled on the fields, and the fields and mountains were covered with a warm halo, like an oil painting.

When the afterglow was not dissipated, Gu Qing came back alone in Gu Dajiang's ox cart, there are always businessmen coming to get the goods recently, Zhu Han and they can't leave, but she has to come back early.

Today, when I was delayed in the city for too long because of the things I remembered, when I arrived at Gujia Village, it was already afternoon time.

The village was actually very lively, and there were many large and small carriages parked, all parked in front of Gu Qing's house.

Gu Qing quickly walked into the house.

She saw many merchants sitting in the hall, some of them were orderers she had seen in Ruyang before, and they were supposed to come to pick up the goods, and some of them didn't know each other, but it seemed that they should have come to order.

It has been almost two months since soap was on the market, and its popularity should be known to many businessmen.

The house was lively, Gu Nuo and Yang Huai were busy, Yang Huai boiled tea and brought it up one by one.

Dong Rong was contacting old customers and checking the pick-up list, and Zhu Lian took the old customers to pick up the goods.

Mo Lihe was talking to new customers, talking with everyone with a calm expression, mainly to determine the order quantity and pick-up time, etc., seeing that they treated people so smoothly, Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, originally she was worried that these two people would not be able to do these things, but I didn't expect these two people to do very well......

However, they will all go out to study after the New Year, and Gu Qing is slightly worried.

Of the four husbands in her family, Zhu Han is now a chef in Qingpeige, after all, it is not a long-term solution, she still has to buy a few more people to come back as chefs, vacate Zhu Han, and go to Fucheng to open a dessert shop.

Yang Pei's main focus will definitely be on the restaurant, and after that, when there are customers at home, she can only receive them...... One or two people a day is fine, but if a dozen customers swarm over, she's going crazy.

She is at the helm of everything in the family, and the four husbands are equivalent to the existence of various department managers, who can do anything, but lack a person who specializes in receiving customers.

It seems that she will have to work hard to cultivate one of the existing employees, so that she will be much easier.

Although Gu Qing thought a lot in his mind, his movements were not slow at all.

She walked into the hall with a smile on her lips, and the merchants who were sitting immediately stood up and saluted at the same time: "Gu Niangzi, don't come unharmed." ”

Most of them came here when they heard the wind, and heard that Gu Niangzi in Youshui County produced soap, and this soap was about to sell crazy in Ruyang and Nanzhou, and they were not far from Youshui County, so they made an appointment to come over together to try their luck, If you can get the goods by luck, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money at that time.

"You've come all the way to work hard, please be seated." Gu Qing smiled and sat on the main seat, "Whoever comes is a guest, you can order soap, but this pick-up time has been scheduled for more than a month, if you think it's okay, you can pay the deposit here......"

Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

This soap is a rarity, and they thought it would take a lot of effort to qualify for the order, but they didn't expect it to be so easy.

A month later, before the New Year, they can make a fortune before the New Year, and they won't lose money no matter how they think about it.

Everyone hurriedly went to Moli to line up.

At this moment, a person walked in at the door of the hall: "Gu Niangzi is back, I want to discuss something with you." ”

As soon as he came in, he was stunned for a moment, "Hey, why is Shopkeeper Zhou here, Shopkeeper Tong is also here, and the owner of Li Ji Commercial Bank...... Gu Niangzi's house is really lively. ”

The person who came was the shopkeeper of the king of Youshui Town, their Wang family's teahouse had been open in Youshui Town for decades, and he naturally knew a lot of people, and he could name most of the people present.

Others also greeted each other.

"How could Shopkeeper Wang be in Gujia Village?"

"I heard that the Wang family's shop was resold, and the shopkeeper Wang did other business, is there such a thing?"

"How did I hear that the money sold by the shopkeeper Wang was all lost, and that the daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper ran back to her parents' house."

"Nonsense!" Shopkeeper Wang snorted, "My Wang really can't do business, but he won't lose all the money left in the family." As for me, I bought a field in Gujia Village, and I will not do business in the future, I will specialize in farming, and I will be a farmer than a businessman, and it is much more comfortable to be a farmer than a businessman. ”

The people were extremely curious, and although the peasant households were a little higher than the merchants, the people of the world were still more willing to do business.

Because you can make money in business, and you can buy food when you earn money, which is not much easier than farming.

A few people who were familiar with the shopkeeper Wang started talking, and the shopkeeper knew everything and said everything.

Gu Qing held the teacup, his mind moving slightly.

She quietly observed the shopkeeper Wang, perhaps because he was no longer doing business, he didn't have that kind of sense of gain and loss, and he was very comfortable when talking, pulling that one to say a few words about business, and then talking to this one about some agricultural affairs, pulling east and west, and mingling with everyone.

After a while, Mo Li's registration was over, the customers gradually dispersed, and the hall was quiet.

Only then did the shopkeeper Wang start to get down to business: "Gu Niangzi, I heard that you need honey every day here, how much is the daily amount?" ”

Gu Qing smiled and said, "What does the shopkeeper want to do?" ”

"Didn't I buy 200 acres of land, Li Zheng said that so much land, we can't plant it together as a family, let me raise pigs and bees." Shopkeeper Wang coughed and said, "How much does Gu Niangzi think I should raise?" ”

There are also some large families in the city who will buy honey, but the amount used is too small and unstable, and if it can't be sold, the calves will be finished.

So he planned that he would raise as much as Gu Niangzi's side needed, and he must not let himself lose money.

Gu Qing also wanted to keep bees before, she deliberately read books on this subject, beekeeping is too complicated, you have to worry about nectar, and now it is winter, even Gu Qing's planting is only sparse and barely half of the flowers, and the other flower seedlings don't even have buds, this wants beekeeping, you can only feed it with white sugar first, the white sugar here is not cheap, if the weather here is too cold, the bees may be wiped out.

However, beekeeping is not good, you can raise sheep, as soon as the weather is cold, Gu Qing begins to crave mutton, mutton can not only boil mutton soup, but also shabu-shabu, mutton scorpions, lamb skewers, with mutton, she can open another hot pot restaurant.

Gu Qing also has a little understanding of sheep raising, according to the most economical point of view in modern times, two hundred acres of land can raise at least nearly a thousand sheep, but the pasture in this era is not as long as in modern times, and there is no good fertilizer, and it is very good to raise four or five hundred sheep on two hundred acres of land.

It generally takes about three months from birth to weaning of sheep, and about five months from weaning to growing up, without accidents.

She considered it and said: "It's better to be like this, keep 40 acres of land to grow some grain and side vegetables, 100 acres and 20 acres to raise sheep, you can raise about 300 sheep, and the remaining 40 acres of land to raise pigs. ”

Recently, the output of the workshop has increased, and the demand for lard is also increasing day by day, and she has purchased the fat lard from several nearby counties, towns and villages, causing the price to fluctuate a little bit...... In fact, it is easy for her to be scolded for doing this, and it is not easy for ordinary people to eat some pork, so she bought all of them to squeeze oil, in the words of Mrs. Gu, it is to spoil good things......

If the village could supply lard, there would be no need to go around to buy it.

"The sheep eat grass by themselves, and they don't need to be tended, and raising pigs may be troublesome, but after cooking, there is no problem in tending to thirty or forty pigs by one." Gu Qing quickly calculated an account, "The price of sheep and piglets is about the same, so calculated, the initial investment is about more than two hundred taels of silver, but pigs can be staggered, and more than 100 will be raised in the spring of next year, and more than 200 ......in the autumn."

The shopkeeper listened to it in a daze, these things were like heavenly books to him, and it was difficult to remember some important points.

He asked awkwardly, "Gu Niangzi, how do you know so much?" ”

Gu Qing coughed, who wouldn't talk on paper, if she was really asked to raise so many pigs and sheep, she would be choked enough.

"My grandma helped me raise a lot of cattle, cattle and sheep eat the same, you can let my grandpa teach you a little experience in the future, if you raise pigs, many old people in the village will, don't worry about the shopkeeper, as for the market, you don't have to worry, as long as my workshop and restaurant are in one day, sheep and pigs I will buy for a long time."

Gu Qing took a sip of tea and slowly spoke, "Shopkeeper Wang has three sons in his family, and raising pigs and sheep is handed over to his three sons and daughters-in-law, does Shopkeeper Wang want to do some other work?" ”
