Before leaving, Mrs. Xie still gave Sheng Guoer some money, a full twenty taels. Ms. Xie said: "Making jam requires manpower and materials. Even if your whole family joins the battle, it will be difficult to supply jams for the Hong family and the Lin family. The Hong family alone has to order three hundred jars in summer and autumn. As for the Lin family, , may order more.”
After hearing this, Sheng Guoer made the following plans in her mind.
This place is no better than modern times. This ancient jam can only be made according to the seasons, not a long-term solution.
And Mr. Xie is right. If the Lin family really has a big order, they will definitely not have enough manpower to pick mountain products and make jam by themselves. Sheng Guoer feels that now that she has money, she should expand the scale of production first, but not too much. garish.
So, Sheng Guoer decided to cooperate with Ma Chunhua first. Firstly, Ma Chunhua was an expert in picking mountain products. Secondly, Ma Chunhua was hardworking and willing to work, and she was popular. She asked a few little sisters to come over and work together, and Sheng Guoer would give her some wages. , should be able to handle it.
So Guo'er thought that she should set up a small workshop for the time being. If her unique spiced pine nuts could open up a market, she would be able to walk on two legs, so that she could buy some raw materials for pickled vegetables before winter comes.
But Sheng Guoer felt that the ancients ate pickles in winter, which was not good for the health. Once she opened up the pine nut market and made some money, she would consider building a greenhouse so that she could have vegetables and fruits in winter. Thinking of this, the new idea of building a greenhouse became more and more urgent in Guoer's mind.
So there are only two important things at the moment, one is to establish a small jam workshop, and the other is to open up the market for pine nuts.
Sheng Guoer made up her mind and gave Mingyue a look. Mingyue said, "Madam, let me send Miss Guoer out, otherwise she won't know the way."
Xie nodded.
After leaving Hong Mansion and arriving under the big elm tree, Tieniu had already been waiting there.
Mingyue smiled and said to Sheng Guoer, "Congratulations, sister, you signed a big deal as soon as you came here."
Sheng Guoer took the pine nuts, then pulled Mingyue aside, and said with a smile: "Thanks to my wife, and thank you sister for leading the way. I will give these pine nuts to my sister. If they are delicious, don't forget to give a gift in return to my third aunt." .”
Speaking of which, Sheng Guoer took out a piece of silver from the red envelope and stuffed it into Mingyue's hand. Mingyue said in surprise: "What is this?"
Sheng Guoer said: "I will inevitably trouble my sister in the future. If you don't accept it, are you afraid that I will trouble you again in the future?"
Seeing that Sheng Guoer was so sensible, Mingyue smiled and said, "No wonder Madam likes you so much, you are such a clever little devil." As she spoke, Mingyue accepted the silver and pine nuts: "Tomorrow I will have a chat with the third aunt, she If you think it’s delicious, you can order more pine nuts. It’s the season now, and many people want to send nuts.”
How could Sheng Guoer not know the implication of her words and said: "Don't worry, sister, you will definitely order my house as soon as you tell me. When the time comes, you will definitely have a heart to satisfy my sister."
Mingyue smiled and said, "Then I'll give it a try."
Sheng Guoer smiled and held Mingyue's hand and said, "After chatting for a long time, my sister now regards me as one of her own."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Mingyue said: "What a good Shengguo'er, you are smarter than a monkey when you put on hair, you are really good at causing trouble!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and replied: "Sister made fun of me."
After the two broke up, Sheng Guoer said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, are you hungry? There seems to be Dongsi Street selling food in front of you. Let's go and see what you want to eat. I'll treat you to it."
Tieniu didn't expect that Sheng Guoer would become wealthy after visiting the Hong family. He said in surprise: "Sister, is it true?"
Sheng Guo'er said: "That's right, I can't afford delicacies from the mountains and seas, but snacks and delicacies are okay. I just got the reward, and you worked hard. I'll treat you to some."
"Okay!" Tieniu whistled happily and drove the ox cart to Dongsi Street.
This street is full of snacks. Tieniu is looking for his favorite meat buns, but Sheng Guoer is carefully observing the location and the types and distribution of snack bars.
The most popular items sold here are pasta and various pastries, especially pastries. There are 28 snack bars along the river, of which 20 sell various pastries.
Sheng Guoer asked an old man and chatted with some young men in pastry shops.
Dongsi Street is the most famous pastry street, among which Gan Linji is the most powerful and has the best business. Even the prefect buys pastries from his house.
After Sheng Guoer took a look at Gan Linji's pastries, she began to think twice. She sat calmly on the bullock cart, gave Tieniu money to buy some meat buns, and then said, "Tieniu, Go home."
"Sister, why are you studying so many pastries?" Tieniu asked.
Sheng Guoer secretly thought that after finishing the greenhouse, having fresh fruits and vegetables, making jam, and being able to continue supplying it, she must open a cake shop here if she has the funds!
After returning home, when Guoer put Qian and Longfuji's meat buns on the table, Shen, Xiaotao and Shengshi were all dumbfounded.
I didn't expect that Sheng Guoer would achieve such results during a trip out.
Shen said with tears in her eyes: "There is really smoke coming out of my ancestral grave." Then she ran to Sheng Shude's tablet and said: "Ms. sir, please open your eyes and take a look. Our silly girl is not only better, but also simply Extremely smart, look at it, our family’s unlucky days are finally over! There is hope for our family!”
Sheng Guoer said, "Mom, don't get excited. Xiao Tao, you go outside to eat first. I have something to discuss with my mother."
Xiaotao and Shengshi followed their words.
Mrs. Shen waved his hand at this time and said, "No need to discuss, just do what you want!"
Sheng Guoer put the meat buns into Shen's hands and said, "No, mother, I really need to discuss this with you. You eat first, and we can discuss it while we eat!"
Mrs. Shen was about to give the meat buns to Sheng Guo'er. Sheng Guo'er waved his hand and said, "Mom, I've eaten, but business is more important."
Mrs. Shen said with a smile, "It's been years since I've eaten Roujiamo." After she finished speaking, she took a bite and said with a satisfied smile, "It's so delicious!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and looked at her mother's satisfied expression and said, "Mom, when our workshop is finished, I will let you eat meat buns every day!"
Mrs. Shen asked: "Workshop, what kind of workshop?"
Sheng Guoer told Mrs. Shen her plan, and Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "Okay, now that we are rich, let's see who dares to look down on us! I will hire that sister-in-law Su San, who laughs at me all day long for being poor. This time I You have to let her see it, huh!"
Seeing her mother's narrow-minded look, Sheng Guoer was a little speechless, but it was no wonder, it was human nature.
Sheng Guoer said: "Mom, this shouldn't be too public. You must know that the jam workshop is not a long-term solution. It can only be done in summer and autumn. What we have to do now is to accumulate funds and develop slowly in the future, so don't do it. It’s going to be a storm all over the city.”
Shen looked at Sheng Guo'er who was now so calm and sophisticated with some surprise, and said, "Guo'er, are you really Guo'er? Why are you completely different from before!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Maybe I got better after a serious illness, and I learned it from watching how you behave."
Mrs. Shen shook her head and said, "Mother, I really don't know whether to thank you for having that serious illness or to worry that you have that serious illness."
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Mom, don't think about that. There are two things you have to do for me right now!"
Shen asked in confusion: "Daughter, what two things are you doing?"
