Chapter 165: I'm on Myself!
"Who said they were going to marry you?" Su Mei glared at Rong Song.
Rong Song smiled enchantingly: "Anyway, the whole capital knows that you are my person, who else can you marry besides marrying me?" ”
"Then I won't marry, okay?" Su Mei couldn't see his arrogant appearance.
Rong Song couldn't laugh anymore: "No, you have to get married." If you don't marry, then I won't marry. Mei'er, don't you think we're a couple made in heaven......"
Xu Yongqian walked farther and farther until he couldn't hear the conversation between the two people behind him.
The moment he walked out of Su's house, he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his mood was extremely heavy.
He thought that Su Mei would be moved when he knew that he was going to get married, but who knew that she had already been with Rong Song, but it seemed that his actions today were particularly ridiculous.
That's it, since Su Mei followed Rong Song, why should he be obsessed with Su Mei? He also doesn't like Su Mei. originally wanted to give each other a chance, but Su Mei pushed it away by herself, so she couldn't complain about him.
He waved away his thoughts and got into the carriage, but he couldn't help but lift the curtain and watch the gate of the Su Mansion get farther and farther away from him......
Rong Song's arrival made Gu Xiyan's trip not run in vain.
She discussed some details with Rong Song, and Rong Song told her a set of plans.
Emperor Chengde did not attach importance to grain production, so that the current situation of grain only barely maintaining the balance between supply and demand, if anyone really dares to make a fuss with grain, it is easy to cause food shortage.
"Not only do we have to open the grain stack as soon as possible, but we also have to reclaim wasteland and cultivate crops on a large scale." Gu Xiyan recalled carefully, but remembered that Mocheng, which was about two hundred miles away from the capital, could make an article.
As the name suggests, Mocheng has been deserted for many years, the land is barren, and the land is vast and unavailable. The most worthless land in the Great Jin Dynasty is in Mocheng, and if you can grow food in Mocheng, you will definitely be able to bankrupt the conspiracy of Soho and Zhou Xing.
"It's too difficult for you to get the tenants in Mocheng to grow food on a large scale. Mocheng has been dry for many years, and it is impossible to grow food, and many tenants are unwilling to do thankless work and change industries. Yung Song felt that this would not work.
"It doesn't have to be that you can't grow food. As long as we have someone over there to take care of this business, give all the tenants enough money and money, and sign the deed, many people will return to their old business......"
Rong Song vetoed Gu Xiyan's proposal: "No, you gave the silver, but you couldn't grow food, didn't the silver go in for nothing?" ”
It's a loss-making business and can't be done.
Gu Xiyan said in a deep voice: "As long as you have someone over there to help us take care of this matter, we won't lose money." It's just that I don't have that much cash in my hands, and it's too late for me to make money now. ”
The heavy rain in October also made Mocheng suffer from a long drought, and she remembered that it had also rained intermittently for a month.
Spring plowing in Mocheng will not be a problem in the coming year, and this business will not be lost.
"If you insist, I'm sure I'll find someone I can trust to do this. Again, where does the money come from? Rong Song shook his head and sighed: "Are you sure you want to be so big?" ”
20,000 silver is not enough, at least 100,000 silver can be turned.
"Do! I'll figure out what to do, you just have to find someone, and this matter will be done by mid-October. Aside from that, I'll find a way to raise money now. Gu Xiyan got up and said.
"Do you know how much silver you need?" Rong Song asked.
"Is 100,000 taels enough?" Gu Xiyan asked rhetorically.
Rong Song was silent.
Okay, he wants to see how she can raise 100,000 taels in just a few days.
The two probabilities of 100,000 are not enough, but if you can raise 100,000 taels under such a tight time, it is definitely Gu Xiyan's ability.
After thinking about it, if the tenants in Mocheng really want to be bought by them, and the land can grow food, how much do they have to earn?
Thinking of this, he was full of energy.
Gu Xiyan, this woman is capable, and he thinks she is credible. She was busy raising money and silver, so he also had to settle down the steward over there in Mocheng, and the two of them acted separately.
It really didn't work, so he personally went to Mochengguan to do this thing.
Gu Xiyan got into the carriage and was thinking about how to raise money all the way.
Hu Die saw her solemn expression and gave her a suggestion: "Why don't you borrow it from Zhou Gongzi." Looking at Zhou Gongzi's general bearing, he knows that he is not short of silver. ”
Gu Xiyan glanced at her and replied indifferently: "I borrowed money from him when I was short of money, what is he?" He's not a bank, I'll figure it out myself. ”
"What else do you have to divide between you and me? I'm going to get married soon, and Zhou Gongzi's is yours. Hu Die winked at Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan's expression was firm: "No, I have to rely on myself!" ”
She can't find Zhou Dui when she encounters trouble, she has to solve the problem by herself, and she must be able to take charge of herself and not be a burden to Zhou Dui.
Gu Xiyan hadn't slept until the time of the day that night, and Qiu Shi felt sorry for her: "The girl should be settled earlier?" Tomorrow to continue. ”
"Time is pressing, I'll sleep when I'm busy." Gu Xiyan lowered his head and continued to write the menu.
She has memories of her previous life, and she has been with Zhou Du for so many years. As an emperor, Zhou Du has naturally tasted a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and she has grown a lot of knowledge on the side.
There is also the long-lost palace secret recipe found by Qi Zhiyuan in his previous life, which can play the most critical role.
"I plan to open a two-day auction of dishes, all of which are dishes that Jixianglou has not had before, and the one with the highest price will get it." Gu Xiyan told Qiu Shi his plans.
Jixianglou has made achievements in the past two years and has become the first food building in Beijing. The diners who come and go to Jixianglou are all distinguished guests in the capital, and the most important thing is silver.
In addition, the highest price is the most expensive, even if it is for the sake of face, there will definitely be many diners participating in the auction.
"How many dishes are you going to shoot on the first day?" Akimi asked.
"It depends. Try it first, but you don't know if you can get a good price, so the dishes must be new and unique. Gu Xiyan paused, and then said: "By the way, you have to find a good food nursery in advance to set off the atmosphere of robbery." ”
In her previous life, Soho had played auctions, and she had also seen Soho looking for childcare to create an atmosphere of passionate consumption.
Qiu Shi's eyes widened when he heard this: "Food nursery? ”
"yes, I don't know who to look for. It's better to have status, and you have some status in the capital, so people can't tell it's a childcare ......" Gu Xiyan said, her eyes lit up: "I know who I'm looking for." ”
"Who is the girl looking for?" Qiu Shi was very curious.
"You'll find out tomorrow." Gu Xiyan's beautiful eyes bent into a crescent moon.
Who else can I find, of course, let the girls of the Liu family be willing to send her.
Qiu Shi continued to ask, but Gu Xiyan sold Guan Zi, wrote about forty dishes, as well as the details of the production, and was busy until midnight before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, Gu Xiyan went to Zaohui Hall to greet the old lady.
The four girls of the Liu family put on a stinky face as soon as they saw Gu Xiyan, although Gu Xiyan did not sleep enough, she was full of energy and energy.
"Grandmother, I want to participate in the food festival held by Jixianglou the day after tomorrow, I heard that there will be a food auction at that time, but I am short of money, can grandmother lend me three thousand taels of silver?" Gu Xiyan got to the point after the hustle and bustle.
The old lady's complexion changed when she heard this: "Three thousand taels?!" ”
What dish costs three thousand taels, and you don't need so much silver to eat gold?
