This winter, the greenhouse vegetables in Xujiacun became the favorite of the group.
When Xu Yin returned home for the New Year, she brought back a cart of the first harvest of vegetables, including celery, lettuce, onions, leeks, winter melon, garlic sprouts, peppers, etc.
My own house couldn't finish all the food, so I heard that Lin's house sent a cart full of New Year's gifts to Xu's house during Laba, so I took a few kilograms of each and sent them to Lin's house.
After winter, the vegetarian dishes on Lin's dining table were either stored Chinese cabbage, radishes, or potatoes. He had long been tired of eating them. Seeing these bright green spring vegetables surprised Master Lin even more than seeing the delicacies of the mountains and seas:
"Hey! Where did the Xu family get so many fresh vegetables?"
After Mrs. Lin read the letter Xu Yin asked the boy to send, she said happily: "I didn't get it from somewhere, Yin Yin found a way to grow it herself."
"What? Can you grow spring vegetables in the middle of winter? How?"
"Well, she said it in the letter."
Mrs. Lin handed the letter to the master.
Apart from explaining the origin of these dishes, this letter did not mention anything about her daughter's family, so Mrs. Lin didn't mind showing it to the elders.
After looking at it, Mr. Lin stroked his beard thoughtfully.
"Madam, I suddenly remembered that I once bought a farm at the foot of the southern foot of the mountain. The location is leeward, which is very suitable for the windless and warm place mentioned by my niece. If we build a greenhouse like the niece mentioned in the letter, our house will be in the future. Can’t we also eat spring vegetables in winter?”
Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "If this thing is going to be done, you have to thank Yin Yin! She could have just ignored it. It's so cold in the winter and it's polite enough to give us a few fresh dishes for a change. ”
After all, the Xu Mansion has so much fertile land that it is impossible not to find a village with a warm leeward wind. They can grow a large number of spring vegetables and sell them when they are ripe. Some officials in Luo City have to plunder the land.
But she didn't do that. It can be seen that this wise niece is a tolerant and generous person.
Over there, the old housekeeper was also talking to Xu Yin about the vast hectares of fertile land in Xu Mansion.
"Girl, if you want to grow this, you can find a village. You can tell me how to do it. I believe those experienced farmers in the village will know how to grow it, so why bother doing it with your own hands."
Xu Yin: "..."
She didn't do it herself.
Besides, when she was working on greenhouse vegetables, she didn't even think about the farm owned by Xu Mansion.
However, since there are so many farms under the Xu Mansion, they can almost be said to be spread all over the east, west, north and south of Luo City. Wherever there are large tracts of fertile land, one of them must belong to the Xu family.
Xu Yin asked the housekeeper if there was any farm that was relatively warm and leeward.
"Yes! At the foot of Nanlu Mountain in the south of the city, there is a village that produces grain earlier than other villages every year. It is said that because the snow melts earlier and the ice melts faster, farming naturally proceeds earlier."
Xu Yin temporarily set up the No. 2 greenhouse vegetable base at the farm at the foot of Nanlu Mountain. Whether it is suitable or not depends on on-site inspection.
Base No. 1 is of course still Xujiacun.
The villagers of Xujia Village are so supportive of her fragrance business, and they always do what she says. Of course she should think more about them and not leave them behind when doing good things.
Xu Kui followed the greenhouse vegetable base in Xujiacun from beginning to end. He volunteered and said, "Girl! I have been to the farm at the foot of the southern foot of the mountain! Let me go and inspect it!"
"Are you working too hard?"
This guy has two workshops on his shoulders.
In addition, he also assisted the village chief in managing the vegetable greenhouses in Xujia Village.
There were also customized glass bottles and glass equipment, and it was he who came forward to contact Liulicang.
"This is a small honor, how can it be hard work!"
Xu Yin: "..." You are really good at talking!
For such a person, if he does not act as shopkeeper or boss, he will simply bury his talent!
"Okay! I'll thank you for your hard work. After the new year, I will go to the foot of the southern foothills to make sure that it is suitable for growing greenhouses. Then I will borrow a few villagers from Xujia Village and ask them to be greenhouse technicians and guide the old masters of the farm."
So, Xu Kui was busy with this matter after the New Year.
Of course, he was also missing the fragrance shop and wine shop.
Therefore, Xu Yin often heard the two maids talking about him:
"Shopkeeper Xu came back from the south of the city and brought a batch of early-ripening fruits from the village for the girl to try."
"Shopkeeper Xu went to the Chengdong Winery yesterday and went back to the mansion. He brought back some plain cakes made by the chef in the mansion for the girl."
"Shopkeeper Xu just came from Liulicang and said that the small glass bottle customized by the girl will be delivered in a few days."
"Shopkeeper Xu is going to Nanlu Mountain tomorrow. Is there anything you want him to take with you?"
"Shopkeeper Xu..."
Xu Yin felt tired for Comrade Xu Kui when she heard that. She felt like the CEO of a listed company in later generations who was busy flying all over the world, either signing contracts or on the way to sign contracts.
Without saying a word, he gave Xu Kui a salary increase.
When Xu Kui received the monthly payment, he was stunned and said to the accountant:
"Brother Sikong, did you make a mistake? I, Xu Kui, my monthly payment is thirty taels, not sixty taels! It's already March, it's not the time for the Chinese New Year, so don't be stupid and still press the doubling rate during the New Year period. Will you be paid monthly?"
Si Kong glanced at him: "Who is stupid?"
Xu Kui: "..." Is now the time to care about this?
"I said you made the wrong payment!!!" He said sternly, "As an accountant, how could you even send the wrong monthly payment? Fortunately, you met me, Xu Kui. If it had been someone else, I would have only had two or two months' payment. , I got four taels in one go, and I was too late to laugh. How could I tell you. When I turned around, the girl did the accounting and found the discrepancy. She thought you were making fake accounts like your previous accountant... It’s over, it’s over! Sikong! I advise you not to be stunned. , hurry up and get back the extra monthly money..."
Sikong couldn't bear it anymore: "I sent it right. Do you want it if you like it?"
Xu Kui: "..."
Dad was right, what the accountant said was really unpleasant. No wonder his face was so ugly...
At this time, Zi Yuan also came to collect her and Hong Qian's monthly payment. After listening to it, she couldn't help but be happy: "Shopkeeper Xu, you made a mistake yourself! Mr. Sikong did not make a mistake! The girl gave you a monthly payment increase. !”
"Ah? Did the girl give me a monthly salary increase? No wonder..."
When Xu Kui learned that this was the case, he suddenly felt happy: Ouch! Sixty taels! Xu Kui's monthly income has actually increased to sixty taels!
"Dad, take it! I'll buy you a drink!"
When leaving, Xu Kuihao gave his father twenty taels of pocket money.
The old housekeeper held the money in his hand and was puzzled: "...What happened? Did you make a fortune? Or did you embezzle the money in the house?"
Xu Kui staggered and looked at his father with a resentful look: "Dad, do you doubt your son so much? The girl has given me the kindness to know and promote me. I, Xu Kui, am greedy and no one will be greedy for the girl. money!"
The old housekeeper laughed and scolded him and kicked him: "Okay, hurry up and go about your business! Be diligent in your work! Don't let down the girl's expectations of you."
"That is required!"
