The porcelain looks nice, but the weight is also very "nice".
The celadon that Su Qingluan chose is very cost-effective, but it is far inferior to those light-textured fine porcelains - of course, the most important thing is that the budget is limited. If you buy these porcelain jars separately, they will cost a lot. One tael of silver each.
However, because Su Qingluan bought thirty pieces at once and six were given as gifts, although he still received thirty taels of silver, it was equivalent to a price reduction in disguise.
But seeing Su Qingluan happily taking out the banknotes to pay, the jaws of the four people following him almost dropped: Thirty taels! A full thirty taels of silver!
This is an astronomical figure for the villagers of Huaxi Village.
Thirty taels, even if a family has enough to eat and drink, it only has a few taels of silver. If these thirty taels are used sparingly, it will be enough for many families of five for five or six years!
Su Qingluan just wanted to buy a few jars - although they also admitted that the jars looked beautiful.
In short, the moment Su Qingluan paid, the four people following him gasped and closed their eyes. In short, they all saw the words "feeling sorry for money" in each other's eyes.
It's not that Su Qingluan didn't see the looks of the three people, but she didn't need to explain that sometimes although the quality of the product itself is very important, the outer packaging is also very important.
"Don't stay there in a daze," Su Qingluan decided to ignore the looks of the four followers, "Here comes the work! You have to be careful, these things are not light."
There are thirty-six jars in total, and there are straw ropes here in the china shop to tie them together. Su Qingluan looked at it and saw that each of the four people could take just nine, so he asked the clerk to help carefully weave "cages" with straw ropes and put the porcelain inside.
The soft, dry hay provides a strong cushioning effect when stacked, and also strings the china together, making it easier to handle in bulk.
"Ms. Su, are you asking the four of us to come with you to bring just this little stuff?" One of them laughed, "Such a small amount of stuff only weighs twenty or thirty kilograms after a full dozen. Is it enough for one person?"
Su Qingluan led a few of them out of the porcelain store: "Where are you? There are still many things I haven't bought."
As expected, Su Qingluan turned around and went to a carpenter's shop: "Shopkeeper, I ordered thirty wooden boxes here before..."
The wooden box is common pine wood. Although the texture is not of the highest quality, Su Qingluan put some thought into the patterns on the box, making the box look like a kaleidoscope from different angles, producing different effects.
But of course she didn't say it clearly - this kind of hidden "Easter egg" feeling without explanation will give buyers unexpected surprises.
And Su Qingluan believed that there must be people in the entire capital who could see through these "Easter Eggs".
The person who made the wooden box also gave away three gifts as replacements in case of quality defects. Although this wooden box is not as heavy as porcelain, it still weighs more than ten kilograms after more than thirty.
"How's it going? You should still be able to carry some things, right?" Su Qingluan looked behind her, "I need to purchase some ingredients later to feed those who work overtime tonight."
"work overtime……?"
"What does Mrs. Su mean?"
The four people behind looked at me, and I looked at you, with an ominous premonition in their hearts.
Then Su Qingluan nodded ruthlessly: "Yes, just like yesterday, overtime today is essential. But if you work overtime today, you will also get double salary, right?"
The four followers who already had dark circles under their eyes suddenly felt that they would not be able to relax until all the work was completed.
Then Su Qingluan used practical actions to tell them: What you think is absolutely right!
In Su Qingluan's original imagination, although he might need to be busy these days, he might only need to work overtime occasionally.
As a result, after actually organizing a group of people to work, I discovered that there is indeed great power in large numbers, but everyone is a flexible individual and there is no unified organization. Therefore, it is very laborious to gather these scattered forces together. .
Moreover, there are many situations due to the large number of people. Things such as a fight between two groups on the first day happen every day. Not only are there frictions between different groups due to competition, but there are also quarrels between people in the same group who have different personalities. when.
Su Qingluan sometimes couldn't help but wonder whether she hired workers or opened a large kindergarten.
However, Su Qingluan felt that it was quite a sense of accomplishment to watch everyone finish a bunch of work together. Although the other name for the sense of accomplishment is "very tired".
Su Qingluan stayed in the town to "work overtime" as expected that night. And because everyone did get double wages immediately yesterday, it was equivalent to working a day shift plus a double-paid night shift, which was equivalent to getting paid in one day. Three times the salary!
This made quite a few people who had gone home yesterday feel regretful - if they had known that the night shift alone would get double wages, and they didn't even have to work all night long, they would have been a fool not to stay and work!
After all, when farming is busy, they don’t have to work around the clock during the day and night!
So on the second day, except for a few people, most chose to stay and work the night shift.
With more people working, the process will naturally move forward.
Su Qingluan asked half of the people to wash the freshly collected fruits and cook them for the first time that night; the remaining people used a scale to weigh the total weight of the jam that had been cooked yesterday. Su Qingluan adds salt, sugar and a small amount of spices in proportion.
The salt and sugar added are proportional, but the total amount of these two items is based on the batch of jam.
However, only Su Qingluan knew the specific ratio of sugar, salt and other spice types and ratios. When adding spices, sugar and salt, only Liu Yunniang was there to help, and the others only helped stir later.
It's not that Su Qingluan judged a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, but that he really had to be on guard against others. After getting along with Liu Yunniang for a period of time, she can naturally entrust her with a certain amount of trust, but Su Qingluan has not yet reached the level of trust that her family has.
What's more, there are dozens of people who came to help. Even though they may not subjectively have any intention of harming themselves or the Su family, Su Qingluan is not sure whether these people may be inadvertently or coerced if they know the formula. Use inducement to reveal the recipe.
To put it bluntly, jam is also a kind of food. The raw materials of this type of food are still very common, so the only way to be surprising in terms of taste is to use novel seasoning ratios.
Su Qingluan doesn't think the advantages of his formula can be maintained forever. After all, there are no intellectual property rights these days. However, if this "speciality" can be extended, then "Suji" jam will become more irreplaceable, and it will be more likely to become bigger and stronger.
