Jia Xiu just wanted to go out with him, but suddenly stopped, turned around and called Aunt Jia: "You also go together, know the way, and get familiar with the environment." ”

Aunt Jia had this intention, but it was not easy to bring it up, and when she heard her husband say this, she hurriedly said: "The eldest girl and the younger girl went to her uncle's house, and they won't come back until the evening, so they can go with you." ”

The group got into the carriage.

In just half an hour, the group arrived at the house on the outskirts of the city.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the house on the outskirts of the city.

An honest man was squatting at the door of the house, waiting boredly.

The honest man holds a dog's tail grass in his hand, sometimes looking at the sun in the sky, and sometimes looking at the ants under his feet.

Seeing the carriage coming, the honest man quickly stood up, patted the dust on his body, and stood aside and looked at the carriage blankly.

Zhao Sichen stepped on the pedal and got out of the carriage.

She saw that the honest man in front of her had a dark face, rough hands, gray clothes on his body, and a lot of mud, and asked with a smile: "You are Tian Lili?" ”

"Yes!" The twelve or thirteen-year-old girl before the honest man met called him by name, and his heart was inexplicably strange.

But he is a good-natured man, and he doesn't care about such small things.

When I looked up, I saw Steward Zhuo following behind Zhao Sichen, wearing a satin dress and black boots, with an extraordinary bearing.

Tian Li hurriedly took two steps forward and saluted: "Hello Master Zhao!" ”

Zhao Sichen looked confused, watched Tian Li bypass her, walked quickly to Steward Zhuo, saluted Steward Zhuo, and called Steward Zhuo "Master Zhao".

She stood behind Tian Li and burst out laughing.

Steward Zhuo hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, my surname is Zhuo." ”

"Zhuo?" Tian Li was a little confused.

He heard that there was business to do, and inquired about the surname of the owner of the house, "Zhao", so he waited here early in the morning.

Could it be that he waited for the wrong person?

Or maybe you're in the wrong place?

Tian Li looked left and right, wanting to see if there were other houses nearby.

Zhao Sichen couldn't help but laugh and said slowly: "My surname is Zhao." ”

Steward Zhuo introduced: "Boss Tian, this is my master, Miss Zhao. ”

Tian Li turned his head and saw that this little girl who was still small and not as tall as his shoulders was so safe.

This is the master of the Zhao family?

Tian Li has a pure temperament, although he has some doubts in his heart, he doesn't think much about it, and obediently salutes Zhao Sichen: "Boss Zhao is good." ”

Zhao Sichen smiled: "You are Tian Lili, Boss Tian, right?" Heard about your family of flower farmers for generations? ”

Tian Li arched his hand and said: "Since my great-grandfather's generation, we have been the largest flower farmer in the suburbs of Daqing City. ”

Zhao Sichen asked, "Fortunately!" Did you bring the goods over to take a look today? ”

"Yes, yes!" Tian Li hurriedly moved a large basket of flowers from the donkey cart on the side: "Now there are roses and jasmine in early spring, I will bring them over to Zhao, Zhao, Boss Zhao to see the condition." ”

Faced with such a young girl shouting "boss", Tian Li pouted.

Zhao Sichen saw this big basket of flowers, each bouquet of flowers with stems was about half a person high, and they were neatly arranged.

Many of the petals are fresh and tender with morning dew on them.

"Boss Tian is very sincere." Zhao Sichen said with a smile.

Steward Zhuo on the side had already opened the door of the house and invited everyone in.

Aunt Jia had strong eyesight, trotted forward into the hall, took out the handkerchief she had with her, wiped a chair, moved it to the porch for Zhao Sichen to sit down, and hurried to the kitchen to boil water.

Tian Li put the bamboo basket under the corridor, took out bundles of bouquets from the basket, and put them on the ground to introduce Zhao Sichen: "Our family has been a flower farmer for generations, and the flowers planted - not that I boast, the entire Daqing City, no, the entire Wei State, may not be better than our family." ”

Steward Zhuo added with a smile: "In the last two years, the flowers of the Tian family were also selected into the list of candidates for the tribute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the Tian family did not know how to operate, and was finally squeezed out. ”

Tian Li said with a smile: "It's all luck, it's not our Tian family, and I can't ask for it." ”

Zhao Sichen nodded with satisfaction and said, "The flowers of the Tian family are indeed good. ”

Tian is advantageous, has a simple personality, is not greedy for vanity, and is also very good.

Tian Li heard Zhao Sichen's praise, smiled happily, and said: "Our family grows everything, roses and jasmine in early spring, roses and lotus flowers in summer, osmanthus in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter, we have them in our family, if Boss Zhao needs it, we can send it to you at any time." ”

Zhao Sichen nodded, and asked again: "Like bamboo, citrus, cinnamon, do you grow these?" ”

Tian Li shook his head and said truthfully: "Our Tian family only grows flowers, not others. ”

Zhao Sichen smiled and didn't speak.

Tian Li looked naïve, but his brain was not really stupid, seeing that Zhao Sichen didn't speak, he thought about it and said, "If you can trust Boss Zhao, I can help you collect -

Don't worry, I don't earn you money, I only need a little money for my donkeys.

And I am also familiar with this industry, and I will definitely find good quality goods for Boss Zhao. ”

Zhao Sichen nodded with satisfaction: "This is very good, it saves me the trouble of talking to many farmers." Then there is the boss of Laotian. ”

Zhao Sichen called Steward Zhuo: "Take 1,000 taels of silver as a deposit and give it to Boss Tian." ”

Steward Zhuo took out the silver ticket.

Zhao Sichen said to Tian Lili again: "From today onwards, you will send the goods once every 3 days, and you must not delay." The Zhao family will settle accounts with you on the 15th. ”

Tian Lili didn't expect Zhao Sichen to ask two words, so he ordered the goods, and hurriedly said: "I know, I'll send it over early in the morning - I'll send it to you first." ”

Aunt Jia had already boiled the water, made tea, and put it on a tea tray and brought it out.

Hearing that Zhao Sichen had ordered the goods, he hurriedly interjected: "Boss Tian, I am all girls here, and I can't do hard work, so you have to help us move the goods then." ”

"That's for sure!" Tian Li rubbed his hands happily, responded again and again, and said: "In the future, I will send you pears, apricots, and plums to taste." ”

As soon as he said this, the whole courtyard laughed.

Aunt Jia said: "It's good to dare to be kind, we have all written it down." ”

Steward Zhuo smiled: "Boss Tian hasn't done business yet, so he promised how many gifts he promised to go out first." ”

Tian Li took the silver ticket, and Steward Zhuo took out the contract that had been written in advance, signed it on both sides, printed its fingerprints, and took a copy each.

After sending Tian Li away, Zhao Sichen turned his head and found that Aunt Jia had wiped the tables and chairs in the hall, and was squatting under the porch, putting the bouquet into the bucket.

Inside the bucket is clear well water, swaying and rippling, rippling with the breath of spring.

Zhao Sichen chewed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and silently watched the well water swaying in the bucket, printed with fine sunlight, shining as bright as gold and silver.

It seems that this tense day has been inserted into a rare leisure, which made her impetuous heart settle down all of a sudden.

Zhao Sichen watched silently for a while, raised his head, and saw Jia Xiucai and Steward Zhuo busy fetching water from the well and flushing the ground and tidying up the house.

She laughed again and said, "Just clean up a little, don't bother." Tomorrow, I'll find a few washers in the neighborhood and let them clean up again. ”

She called Jia Xiucai again: "Jia Xiucai, please help me take a look, this house is going to be used as an essential oil workshop, how should it be transformed?" ”

Zhao Sichen told Jia Xiucai her thoughts carefully.

Flowers and trees are placed in the yard and the petals are dried.

There are several stools and tables in the hall, and bamboo plaques can be placed for picking out the petals and cleaning the petals.

The backyard is further picked and sorted.

The back room is to be distilled by fire.

Although Jia Xiucai is dull and wooden, he is a good hand at house design.

He heard Zhao Sichen say a few words, and immediately understood what she meant, took out charcoal and paper, and began to write and draw.

Zhao Sichen saw that Jia Xiucai was already full of thoughts about how to transform the layout of the workshop, and he didn't bother him, but walked to Aunt Jia's side and asked her to put down the work she was doing.

"Aunt Jia, I invited you to come, not to do these rough jobs, just let the maids and wives clean up slowly in the future."

Aunt Jia was used to work, and when she saw Zhao Sichen asking her to stop, she was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Sichen told Aunt Jia his thoughts: "...... I have asked the tooth shop to help me recruit a group of working women, every morning to work, the sun goes down and you can naturally go home to rest, the salary is settled in ten days, do ten days off, if you don't rest, you will be rewarded twice the silver ...... that day"

"Double the silver prize?!" Aunt Jia was dumbfounded.

Zhao Sichen's salary is already considered high, and now he can do ten days off, and if he doesn't rest, he can give twice the reward.

This treatment is too good.

Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "If the business is good, don't worry about rewarding silver." If the business is not good, it will not be able to make much money in these small places. ”

Aunt Jia was still a little shocked, but seeing that Zhao Sichen was full of confidence, she had no choice but to echo and say: "The eldest lady is a person who does big things, so she naturally doesn't care about these small money." ”

Zhao Sichen told Aunt Jia in detail about the assembly line operation method she conceived.

The front yard is used as a warehouse, and after the flowers are unloaded at the door, one worker peels off the petals, washes them, spreads them on a large bamboo plaque, and puts them in the yard to dry.

After drying, it is put into the hall, and the four workers are divided into two groups to do the first boiling and distillation in the hall.

After distillation, the condensed water is filled in clay pots and sent to the side hall, where four workers are divided into two groups and distilled twice. Then put it in a clay pot and move it to the backyard.

There are 2 workers in the backyard, one who fills the rose oil directly into the clay bottle, and the other who adds the rose oil to the honey to make rose honeydew.

Zhao Sichen even thought about eating: "When eating at noon, the workers gathered to eat by the kitchen in the backyard. Meals must not be brought into the workplace. ”

Aunt Jia listened and nodded again and again.

Zhao Sichen's statements and practices are unheard of.

But when you listen closely, it seems that each step is interlocking and seamless.

Aunt Jia seems to have seen the workers coming and going, busy and orderly.

Zhao Sichen said: "Aunt Jia, your responsibility is to manage these 11 workers well. ”

Aunt Jia responded with dignity: "I will do my best to live up to the instructions of the eldest lady." ”

Zhao Sichen nodded and said, "If you do a good job, the essential oil workshop will be expanded, and you will be given dividends when the time comes!" ”

"Don't you dare!" Aunt Jia excused herself again and again, but laughed again.

Things have just begun to happen, and the eldest lady is already so confident.
