The atmosphere in Liujia Village today is particularly different, because from time to time you can see gorgeous carriages entering the village and going straight to the Xiao family.
No one else, because today is the ninth birthday of Xiao Yu, the young master of the Xiao family. As Xiao Yu’s first birthday after the three-year mourning period, the Xiao family attaches great importance to it and invites many friends and even several familiar people in the village. Received the post.
Such a solemn act by the Xiao family caused quite a stir in Liujia Village. For country people like them, they could barely make ends meet with two meals a day. An egg or a meal of meat is a very good treatment. I didn't expect that the Xiao family could hold such a big banquet for a nine-year-old boy and invite the nobles in the city.
Tsk tsk~
Incredible!
Those who received the invitation were overjoyed and showed off in all kinds of ways. Those who did not get the post were naturally envious and jealous. Watching those who received the invitation go to the bridge with smiles on their faces. Dong, they could only spit out a few sour words and stare at others' backs and poke them fiercely.
Although they were helpless, the people of Liujiacun had to admit that the Xiao family had become someone they looked up to in a short period of time.
Thinking back to that year, the Xiao family suddenly lost its backbone and was left alone. Everyone thought they would not survive that winter, but things were often unpredictable. Not only did they survive, they became masters.
It really proves the saying, look down on you today, you will not be able to reach you tomorrow.
The Xiao family mansion is naturally very lively. Xiao Yu’s little friend spent a happy and unforgettable birthday today. Not only did his aunt come back, but his aunt also personally prepared a birthday cake for him. Such a surprise was enough to make Xiao Yu happy. long time.
As a result, Xiao Yu had a smile on his face all day long. After lunch, he made an appointment with a few friends to play around.
In the yard, the women sat under the grape trellis, enjoying the warm sunshine and the fruity fragrance. From time to time, laughter could be heard. Not far away, a group of young girls sat together, each showing off what Xiao Ming had brought back from the capital. The rare things, the laughter is endless.
In the study room, the atmosphere was unusually lively.
Xiao Ming sat bored, looking out the window at Xiao Yu who was playing games from time to time, and the smile on his face widened unconsciously.
When he turned his gaze back to the study, there was only endless helplessness in his gentle eyes, and he had more than ten thousand reasons in his heart, why he came back at the wrong time.
Yi Feng calculated the number of fruit wine and cans that will be produced this year based on the number of fruits on the fruit trees this year. This number is not only for the Xiao family, but also for the fruit trees in the Qingshan Courtyard that also bear fruit this year.
I remember that in the first year, Xiao Ming used space water for watering, and the Xiao family picked fruits twice, which caused quite a stir in Liujia Village, so Xiao Ming had to attribute the reason to the water quality of Daqing Mountain. In the past two years, Xiao Ming Ming tried to reduce the use of space water as much as possible, and only secretly put space water into major wells every once in a while during inspections. Even so, the fruit trees in Qingshan Court have produced fruits this year, and they are better than those in Liujia Village. One year.
Nowadays, the legend of the sacred water of Daqing Mountain has spread in Liujia Village.
Every year, the Jiang family, Su family, and Kong family would pay a deposit in advance and buy a large amount of wine after it was ready. Every year, except for what Xiao Ming kept for his own use, they snapped up the rest.
The profits from the fruit wine and cans made them a lot of money, and they were not the ones who were short of money. Over the past few years, this cake has had a fixed distribution pattern.
And this year, the extra fruits in Qingshan Yuan are their focus on buying. A few people are fighting for it, and they don't give in. If Yi Feng hadn't been adjusting in the middle, I'm afraid a few people would have decided directly with their fists, and after a dispute. Next, the distribution of the Xiao family was finally completed, but the fate of each small fruit on the poor fruit tree was decided before it was ripe.
Yi Feng recorded everything in the book. Compared with the Lin family, which only sells to the upper-class aristocrats in the capital, the Jiang family has become the largest buyer of their fruit wine and cans. His Sihai Escort Company has branches in all major cities, and its sales volume is larger. The Kong family is the smallest of the three, and is limited to sales in restaurants and teahouses. Being limited to this has also made his restaurants and teahouses full of business and made plenty of profits.
Yi Feng confirmed the quantity again and again before closing the book and giving it to Xiao Ming for a brief look.
Xiao Ming took a cursory glance and found that, sure enough, brother-in-law Jiang's family accounted for the majority, and half of the amount this year went to the Jiang family. The weather this year is good, God has given us plenty to eat, the weather has been good, and the fruit has grown well, looks good, and has good sweetness. I hope the finished product will be better than in previous years.
Of course, when picking fruits, Xiao Ming will also secretly remove the fruits from the space, so that there will be more fruits. Well, this year is a bumper harvest.
The steward of the Lin family is a middle-aged man in his forties. While Xiao Ming was looking at the account books, he took a sip of tea, cleared his mind and said, "Miss Xiao, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not." ?”
"Manager Wang said he was defenseless." Xiao Ming said. She knew that this man was the husband of Mama Li, the steward around Lin. He was the chief steward around Lin and took care of Lin's dowry. Lin returned They kept him here after they came to the capital. This man was really smooth and sophisticated, and he was well-rounded in everything he did. Every time he went to Xiao's house to purchase goods, he always had a smile on his face and was not empty-handed. He would either bring some small gifts for the children, or for Song's mother Yi and the others. Bring some nice things. This time I found out Xiao Yu’s birthday, so I specially prepared a generous gift.
"Liu Fushun, the son-in-law of the Zhou family in Pingcheng, came to see me a few days ago and said that he had a lot of fruit wine and cans in his hands, and the price was two taels lower than the Xiao family's." Manager Wang glanced at Xiao Ming. Now, the Xiao family's fruit wine Compared with cans, which cost ten taels of silver per jar, and wines, which cost fifteen taels of silver, this was already a very cheap price in his eyes. They sold each jar of wine for hundreds of taels of silver, and the wine was even more expensive.
However, the less money goes out, the better, but the more money comes in, the better.
How much money did the Liu family get to get two taels cheaper? However, he knew his employer's trust in Xiao Ming, so when Liu Fushun came to find him, he did not nod immediately. Instead, he wrote a letter of divorce and went back to Beijing to ask his employer to make up his mind.
Jiang Sihai blinked. He knew what Manager Wang was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu. He wanted Xiao Ming to lower the price, but he didn't want Liu Fushun's fruit wine to disrupt the market price.
What's more, he is waiting and watching, maybe he will abandon the Xiao family.
Liu Fushun also looked for him, but he rejected him flatly. As a joke, Xiao Ming was not only his savior, but also his wife and sister. He would definitely not abandon the Xiao family.
However, Jiang Sihai's eyes dimmed. With the Liu family's fruit wine and cans on the market, the Xiao family's dominance will definitely be disrupted, and they will never have the previous high profits.
"Yes! Miss Xiao, then Liu Fushun also came to me." Manager Jiang of the Kong family also responded. Liu Fushun approached him to wholesale fruit wine and canned food at a low price, and even claimed that the taste was absolutely the same as that of the Xiao family. . If it weren't for the fact that Kong's restaurant had to rely on Xiao's family for all the vegetable and flower tea, he would secretly order some to try. If the taste was really like the Xiao's, he would order a large amount. .
