Chapter 196: Did You Buy Gold?
The charity foundation can be regarded as re-established, I don't know if Nan Gongjin secretly made efforts, that group of people respected Si Juan a lot more than before, and they no longer wanted the so-called reputation.
With the support and flow of funds, Si Wan has become much more convenient and smooth, and he has also filled in the shortfall of things such as the porridge shed that was suddenly stopped.
There are also those old people and children who have no mobility at all, Si Juan naturally has to take care of them intensively, so that those children can go to school and read and write, and those old people can also live for a long time.
Si Wan specially repaired the academy and other things, especially for the children of poor families to study and read, and those old people also had special people to take care of them and live in the Church of Mercy and Grace.
Si Juan's charity meeting was re-organized, and the reputation of Si Juan's great benevolent living Bodhisattva was also well-known far and wide, and it was spread everywhere.
No matter where Si Juan goes, he is sought after, and there are countless praises.
But after what happened last time, Si Juan has seen people's hearts clearly, and his mood has become more and more calm.
For the praise of others, he is not arrogant or impatient, and he has lost the excitement he had before.
However, after the establishment of the Church of Mercy and Grace, it was also a large expense, and the nurses who were invited to take care of the elderly were all white and silver.
There is also a teacher who teaches children, Si Juan naturally will not invite those crooked melons and cracked dates, and the ones invited are all famous masters, and it also costs Si Juan a lot of silver.
After this large amount of expenses, although there is the support of the foundation, Si Juan is still thinking about how to make money.
happened to finish all this, just approaching the Chinese New Year, and the income of Si Wan Restaurant and those makeup shops was basically stable, so I couldn't find any way to make money.
Si Wan was worried and wanted to try those aspects that he had not touched, but after thinking about it, it seemed that nothing was appropriate, after all, he had no experience.
At the beginning, there were many people who wanted to cooperate with Si Juan, but she rejected them one by one, and now they still want to cooperate with them, which seems a little unlikely, after all, their faces have been swept away by themselves.
And Si Juan thought about it, and felt that it seemed impossible for him to get involved in other aspects, so he might as well think of a way to make quick money.
It's like mooncakes are easy to sell during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they don't work in normal times, and they make money for a while.
In this way, Si Wan doesn't have to work hard to maintain it, just need to drive it for a while.
But after thinking about it, Si Wan still couldn't think of where to set foot in.
"Madam, it's the New Year's list, you see. Grandma Sun came over with the account book, saw Si Juan walking around in the yard, and stopped her directly.
Si Juan was stunned, and subconsciously took the account book handed over by Grandma Sun and read it at a glance, and then returned it to Grandma Sun.
Mama Sun was stunned, but she didn't reach out to pick up the account book handed over by Si Juan.
"Grandma Sun, you got the wrong account book, this is the list for the New Year, in previous years, my mother was in charge, why did you give it to me this year?"
"This is what the old lady told me to give you, this is the third year in the capital, the old lady said, Fu Runni should also be in charge of the family's financial affairs. Grandma Sun stuffed the ledger back into Si Juan's arms and said.
Si Juan was a little helpless, she was still thinking about a way to make money, and at this time, Grandma Sun directly sent her a way to spend silver.
Si Wan had no choice but to sit on the stone bench next to him with the account book, and just sat down, he couldn't help but shiver.
Si Juan flipped through a few pages, and felt that there was no problem, until he turned to the last page, and his eyes widened when he saw the account flowing out.
"It's... Is this the gold you bought, it's so expensive......" Si Wan couldn't help muttering.
"This is the budget for buying artillery battles, after all, the adults are now the third-grade officials in the court, of course, there must be a row during the New Year. The old lady said that this cannon had to be fired for three days in a row, so it was booked more. Mama Sun explained.
Si Juan looked up at Grandma Sun, then looked down at the account book, and said, "I remember that artillery battles are not so expensive in normal times, why is it the same price as buying gold during the New Year!"
"There's no way, the price of firecrackers has skyrocketed during the New Year. Grandma Sun also sighed helplessly.
"Then you can't usually buy it and store it at home, and wait until the New Year to put it, it's too expensive!"
"This firecracker can't stand up, and it won't be used in a few days!" Mama Sun shook her head and said.
Si Juan's face fell, and he sighed when he looked at the budget price of firecrackers, and suddenly a flash of light hit his heart, and Si Wan stood up suddenly, startling Grandma Sun.
"Grandma Sun, wait for me to come back and look at this account book, the budget for this firecracker can be put aside first!"
After that, Si Juan walked out of the Jiang Mansion quickly, leaving Grandma Sun alone in the same place with a confused face.
Although Si Juan has no experience in the firecracker industry, this festival of firecrackers is really profitable, and Si Juan is very excited.
She immediately contacted the manufacturer who made firecrackers, and also joined her own original design, although there were stumbles in the process, but it was always smooth.
Si Juan opened a temporary artillery workshop, the first batch of firecrackers to be put on the market, Si Juan's reputation can be said to be far and wide, some people in other cities heard that Si Juan was selling firecrackers, and specially came to the capital to buy Si Juan's firecrackers.
Because the name is Si Juan's name, how many of the artillery battles are sold out, and there are even many people who book, Si Juan is directly the shopkeeper, only responsible for counting the money.
Si Juan also moved the fireworks he made back to Jiangfu and put them for more than three days, and the tricks were all designed by Si Juan and were unique and never sold.
Ancient fireworks are definitely worse than modern ones, but they feel good about being able to make them, and they don't ask for more.
The artillery workshop opened this time made Si Jiu also make a small profit, and when he was at the dinner table on Chinese New Year's Eve, Si Jiu couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
At the dinner table, Wang kept serving soup to Si Juan, and this abnormal behavior made Si Juan very flattered.
The relationship between Si Juan and the Wang family has been completely eased, but it will not reach the point of letting the Wang family serve soup to Si Juan.
And Si Juan also found out...... The soup that Wang served her was some tonic soup.
The Wang family no longer chased her with decoction to give birth, but the shadow left on Si Juan was permanent, and almost Si Juan would react in his stomach when he saw the soup and water.
"Drink the soup quickly, what are you doing in a daze?"
After Wang gave Si Wan the fifth bowl of soup, Si Juan's face was full of helplessness and looked at Wang to add soup to himself.
