Chapter 509: The cannon fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination essay (31)
This winter, the greenhouse vegetables in Xujia Vige 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.
I couldnt eat all the food in my own house. I heard that the Lin family sent a cart full of New Years gifts to the Xu family during Laba, so I took a few kilograms of each to the Lin family.
After winter, the vegetarian dishes on Lin''s dining table are either stored Chinese cabbage, radish, or potatoes. He has long been tired of eating them. Seeing these bright green spring vegetables surprised Mr. Lin even more than seeing the delicacies from the mountains and seas:
Hey! Where did the Xu family get so many fresh vegetables?
Mrs. Lin read the letter that Xu Yin asked the boy to send, and said cheerfully: "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 do you grow them?
Well, she said it in the letter.
Mrs. Lin handed the letter to the master.
Other than exining 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.
Mr. Lin looked at it and 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 ce mentioned by my niece. If we build a greenhouse like the niece mentioned in the letter, our house will be in the future. Cant 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 a lot of fertile farnd. It is impossible not to find a vige with a warm leeward wind. They can grow arge number of spring vegetables and sell them when they are ripe. Some officials in Luo City have to plunder thend.
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 fertilend in Xu Mansion.
"Girl, if you want to nt this, you can find a vige. You can tell me how to do it. I believe the old farmers in the vige will know how to nt it, so why bother doing it yourself so hard."
Xu Yin:
She didnt do it herself.
Besides, when she was working on growing vegetables in the greenhouse, she didnt even think about the farms owned by the Xu Mansion.
However, since there are so many farms under the Xu Mansion, it can be said that they are almost all over the east, west, north and south of Luo City. Wherever there arerge tracts of fertilend, one of them must belong to the Xu family.
Xu Yin asked the housekeeper if there was any farm that was rtively warm and leeward from the wind.
"Yes! At the foot of Nanlu Mountain in the south of the city, there is a vige that produces grain earlier than other viges 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 vigers of Xujiacun have always been so supportive of her fragrance business: whatever she says, they do it. 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: "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 assisted the vige chief in managing the vegetable greenhouses in Xujia Vige. He also contacted Liulicang about ordering some ss bottles and ss equipment.
This is a small honor, how can it be hard work!
Xu Yin: You are really good at talking!
Such a person, if he does not act as a shopkeeper or a boss, he will simply bury his talent!
"Okay! I''ll thank you for it. After the new year, I''ll go to the foot of the southern foothills to make sure it''s suitable for growing greenhouses. Then I''ll borrow a few vigers from Xujia Vige 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 is 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 vige for the girl to taste.
Shopkeeper Xu went to the Chengdong Wine Shop yesterday and returned to the mansion. He brought back some in cakes made by the chef in the mansion for the girl.
Shopkeeper Xu just came from Liulicang and said that the small ss 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 it. She felt like a future generation of CEOs of listedpanies who were busy flying all over the world, either signing contracts or on the way to sign contracts.
Without saying a word, Xu Kui was given a sry increase.
Xu Kui was stunned when he received the monthly payment. He said to the ountant:
"Brother Sikong, am I pronouncing you wrong? I, Xu Kui, my monthly payment is thirty taels, not sixty taels! It''s already March, not the time for the Chinese New Year. Don''t be stupid and still press the doubling rate during the New Year period. Will you be paid monthly?"
Si Kong nced at him: "Who is so stupid?"
Xu Kui: Is now the time to care about this?
"I said you sent the wrong payment!!" He said sternly, "As a bookkeeper, how can you even send the wrong monthly payment? Fortunately, you met me, Xu Kui. If it were someone else, I would have only had two or two months'' payment. I doubled my ie by four taels, and I couldn''t even tell you how to tell you. When I turned around, the girl did the ounting and discovered the discrepancies. She thought you were making false ounts like the previous ountant... It''s over, it''s over! Sikong! I advise you not to be stunned and hurry up. Lets get back the extra monthly money we sent out
Sikong couldn''t bear it anymore: "I didn''t make a mistake. Do you want it?"
Xu Kui:
Dad is right, the ountants words are really unpleasant. No wonder his face is 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. !
Huh? Did the girl give me a monthly sry increase? No wonder...
When Xu Kui learned what was going on, he suddenly felt happy: Ouch! Sixty taels! Xu Kui''s monthly ie has actually increased to sixty taels!
Dad, take it! Ill buy you a drink!
When leaving, Xu Kuihao gave his father twenty taels of pocket money.
The old housekeeper held the silver 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 resentment and said: "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 housekeeperughed and kicked him: "Okay, hurry up and go about your business! Work diligently! Don''t let down the girl''s expectations of you."
"That is required!"
