As for the final decision of whether to go to the branch in Liangzhou, although Chen Zhihe and Zhaodi were more or less interested, they did not finally agree to it affirmatively.

This is also a very normal thing, and Su Qingluan was not surprised by this result at all.

After all, although Huaxi Village is not very close to the southern boundary, it is a central region with four distinct seasons, but it is still "mild" compared to Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is close to the border to the north, and not only is the people fierce, but also the goose feather snow falls heavily for half of the year, and the conditions are difficult.

Although Liangzhou is an important city in the north and is also very prosperous, but in the end, the climate is cold, no matter what the economic conditions are, the natural environment is relatively harsh, so many people dispel their thoughts when they hear the word "Liangzhou".

It's just that this "unwillingness" is only relative - for many people who want to go elsewhere to make a difference, such as earning military merits, or opening up a new business territory, Liangzhou is indeed a good choice.

Liangzhou is located on the main road of the border fortress, and the nomads in the north have frequent contact, so the trade system is very developed, for the inland cities are very precious horse fur and some dairy products, in the border towns can be said to be the most common goods.

Comparatively speaking, cheap silk and mediocre tea, which are very common in the hinterland, can be sold at a good price even if they are purchased at a low price.

Not to mention the crafts that look so beautiful.

As for eating, this is especially true of the food, the food in the Northland is more based on dairy products, and the shape is very rough, because the climate in the Northland is cold and dry, so everything likes to be made into preserved fruits or dry buns, which is easy to carry and easy to preserve.

As for the "delicate" stuff like jam, there are basically not many things in the Northland.

Even the coarsest jam, without any flavor improvements, is only mashed, and it is a luxury that only the rich and noble can afford. Therefore, the territory opened by "Su Ji" in Liangzhou can be described as a blue ocean.

The jam of "Su Kee" can be stored for one or two months, and it can even be kept for three or four months in the north without deterioration, so it has been unprecedentedly popular almost as soon as it came out.

Therefore, even if the prosperity of the capital and Suzhou and Hangzhou are better than Liangzhou City, the branch with the highest price and the best sales of "Su Ji" jam in these three places is Liangzhou City.

This is also the reason why Su Qingluan is more or less willing to give Liangzhou City a little more inclined to the distribution ratio of the supply of goods.

Of course, no matter how the jam is sold, it is also an indisputable fact that the objective climate is harsh. So Su Qingqing simply raised the treatment of the Liangzhou branch to the Internet - of course, this is not Mingli's salary, but various welfare subsidies in the name of it.

For example, from the beginning of the winter snowfall to the Qingming of the following year, there are "charcoal fire fees" and "winter clothing expenses" every month, as well as all kinds of wintering items, such as cotton clothes and quilts.

Su Qingluan's reason is also very sufficient-the boundary of Liangzhou does not need to be sided, and it often turns into ice in winter, compared to Liangzhou, even if it is "heavy snow covering the mountains" in winter, Huaxi Village is relatively gentle.

After all, Huaxi Village has never been so cold that the waves are rolling and frozen-but more than one person who has been to Liangzhou has described it to Su Qingluan, and there are even waves in Liangzhou, one moment it is still water, and the next moment it becomes a "grand scene" of ice.

Su Qingluan, who heard these words at that time, couldn't help but think of the small northern city where she and her master went to the northernmost part of the Northeast and had entered the Arctic Circle in her previous life.

Originally, the master wanted to take her and her mother to eat a kind of big white fish that is a local specialty, and by the way, to see the aurora - it is said that during the winter solstice and summer solstice, you can have the opportunity to see this magical scene.

However, I didn't see the aurora at that time, but for the four words "cold wind and biting bones", Su Qingluan can be regarded as having an "unforgettable" experience.

At that time, Su Qingluan naively thought that she was wearing a down jacket and a layer of warm clothes, which was warm enough, but as soon as she got out of the car, she was "taught to be a man" by the cold wind like a knife.

In the end, if it weren't for the locals recommending them to buy the most primitive, precipitated and warm military coat, Su Qingluan even felt that he would be directly frozen into an ice sculpture.

With this "unforgettable" lesson in various senses, Su Qingluan no longer dared to despise the power of the frozen thousands of miles in the northern country.

In this life, Su Qingluan once went to Liangzhou for field trips in the summer, but it was said to be "midsummer", and Liangzhou had to wear autumn clothes elsewhere at night, and if it was late at night and early in the morning, it was not very hot even if he was wearing winter clothes.

It's terrifying!

Su Qingluan knew from that time that it was estimated that the winter days in Liangzhou City would be "unforgettable" for most people.

Although he wants to do business in Liangzhou City, Su Qingluan is not a black-hearted capitalist, and he doesn't want the workers under him to be human popsicles. Therefore, before the first batch of employees who "opened up the territory" went to Liangzhou, she, the shopkeeper, was eager to become an old mother, and she had to worry about food and clothing, lest she freeze a few ministers.

The first batch of people who went to the Liangzhou branch over there, from the shopkeeper to the account room, from the guy to the running hall, nearly thirty percent of the people were selected from the group of people who followed Su Qingluan at the beginning and made contributions to Li Xia in "Su Ji".

As for the rest of the people, Su Qingluan asked them to recruit suitable candidates in the local area. After all, the local people are more adapted to the local social environment and natural environment, and can communicate with the group of people they send and learn from each other.

Liangzhou's business is booming, but the natural conditions are also very harsh, especially those big girls and little daughters-in-law, when they come back to visit relatives again, Su Qingluan sees that they are either plateau red or eight degrees darker.

Although they seem to be in good spirits, their hands are indeed rougher, so it seems that the conditions are difficult to the naked eye.

Retracting his thoughts, Su Qingluan looked at Chen Zhihe and Brother Zhao opposite: "This is a big deal, after all, if you go over there, you can't come back and walk around with your family at will for a while." What's more, although I won't treat you badly when I go there, the conditions are difficult, and you can ask some people in many ways and then make your own decisions. There's still time, so you don't have to give me an answer right away. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and let the two of them leave, while he packed up and prepared to continue today's work - after all, there was still a long way to go before the end of the day.

When you're busy, time flies. Especially if the mental concentration is very focused, then the opportunity feels that even if it is an hour, it is just a flick of the fingers.

Su Qingluan is very focused when she works, so she often forgets the passage of time, so she originally planned to go back to Daddy earlier to "catch the wind and wash the dust", but she never wanted to wait until she came back to her senses again, but she was already knocked on the door by Liu Yunniang outside to remind everyone to go back, and she should also call it a day and go home, otherwise she will be locked in the city.

Su Qingluan looked at the sky outside: Isn't it, the sunset is about to set!
