Hua Zhi is essentially a businessman. The moment she learned about this, she immediately decided to have people do hunger marketing, supplying a fixed amount of goods every day and closing the store after they were sold out, so that the market was always in an unsaturated state. This thing is a consumable, and the demand has not decreased day by day, but has increased a lot.
The canned food business was about to go bankrupt.
Nian Qiu was clacking away on the abacus, exhaled softly, and walked briskly to the young lady as he handed the account book to her. "Young lady, I have figured it out."
Hua Zhi looked at the number and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She knew that it was a right decision to cooperate with Yunlai Restaurant. Apart from anything else, the price was very attractive. Twelve taels of silver for a jar, who would have thought that the cost was no more than three taels? This was because she bought a better porcelain jar in order to raise the grade. If her requirements were lower, two taels of silver would be enough.
Liu Xiang reported at the door, "Miss, the fourth lady is here."
"Please come in." Hua Zhi stood up and walked towards the door. Wu came in from outside with a cold breath, "Stay away from me."
Hua Zhi had no choice but to return to her original seat, watching Fourth Aunt brush off the cold air and warm her hands and face before she walked over to sit opposite her. "I'm afraid it's going to snow again. It's very cold and dry."
"Isn't it the coldest time of winter when it snows?" Hua Zhi pushed the teacup in front of her, "Drink it quickly to warm your stomach."
Wu didn't hesitate and drank half a cup. "What's the matter with calling me here?"
Yingchun placed three thousand tael silver notes in front of the fourth lady. Huazhi met her surprised gaze and said with a smile, "This is not for you. Go to the other three families and give this silver to them. Tell them that I have a great need for the silver after the New Year. I can only use this much to buy some things to celebrate the New Year first."
Wu frowned slightly, "Everyone has the habit of hiding some silver. If we hid it at that time, it doesn't mean they don't have it."
"What belongs to them is theirs, and has nothing to do with what we give them. If our branch completely ignores them, there will be a rift in this family."
Mrs. Wu nodded, "Okay, I got it, I'll send it to them later."
Seeing her put away the banknotes, Hua Zhi said, "The backyard seems to be quite peaceful recently."
"How can it not be safe? You have earned money, and the girls from each family have started to take charge, so it can be said that the benefits are shared equally." Wu smiled, "But I'm afraid that someone will have objections once the money is given out. After all, the workshop was built with money pooled from each family, so each family has a share."
"I didn't touch the money from the canning business. The three thousand taels are included in the profits of Green Moss Lane. The money earned from the canning business will not be shared for the time being. I have to use the money to make money."
"I'll tell them."
Hua Zhi smiled, "I just want to use you to tell them, Fourth Aunt, that you have to help me take care of the affairs of the inner house. You know my mother, she is unreliable. You have to help balance the relationship between you sisters-in-law. I have to be busy with other things after the New Year and cannot be distracted."
"Nothing will happen in the inner house. Even your Third Aunt obeys you now. You are fair in dealing with things and treat the girls from the Second House the same as the legitimate daughters. They will not cause any trouble at this time."
"That's good." Hua Zhi nodded, "There's one more thing, Fourth Aunt, I need you to help me get some information from Second Aunt."
Wu was stunned, "You want her to return to the Yang family?"
"On the contrary, I want to know if my second aunt has ever thought about divorce."
Wu's eyes were complicated. This niece was really bold and surprising. Not everyone had her courage. After thinking for a while, she said tactfully: "It doesn't matter whether she gets a divorce or not. At least she won't be allowed to go back to the hell of the Yang family."
"It does matter. As long as Yang Qi is the son-in-law of the Hua family, he can use the name of the Hua family to contact people who have a history with the Hua family."
Wu is not Zhu. She is well aware of the influence of the Hua family among the students. After a moment's thought, she would understand what Zhi'er meant. When she thought of her aunt being beaten suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. She nodded and said, "I'll go and test the waters later."
"You should also tell Third Aunt that everything that each family has will belong to Second Aunt in the future. And everything that the descendants of the Hua family have will definitely not be left out of Sui An's share."
Mrs. Wu held Hua Zhi'er's hand tightly and nodded vigorously. This was what she liked most about Zhi'er - she was generous and magnanimous. People would be convinced when they heard her words and would unconsciously obey her and follow her decision.
Thinking that she hadn't had a good talk with her mother since her grandmother passed away, Hua Zhi went to her mother's yard when she had nothing to do.
Zhu took the hot towel from Nanny Lin and covered her daughter's hand, muttering softly, "Why are you coming here in such a cold weather? If you have something to do, just ask the maid to run over."
"I want to accompany mom, but I can't let the maid accompany me." Hua Zhi helped her mother to sit next to the stove. Looking at her mother's thin face, she sighed in her heart, but didn't show it on her face. She touched the light blue cloth in the basket beside her and asked, "Is this for dad?"
"He doesn't have much use for this kind of material now, so I made it for you." Zhu stood up and picked it up to compare, "You haven't grown taller yet, so the size won't be wrong."
“… Mom, I know you’re talking about me being short.”
Zhu chuckled, glared at her and said, "Mother, do you think you are too short?"
"It sounds like it."
Zhu patted her arm unhappily and put the cloth back. "You're weird. There's really no one short in either family, but you just don't grow taller. Even the whole city of Berlin is taller than you."
"Mom, you don't understand. What is concentrated is the essence." As the shortest of the Zhu and Hua families except for the younger generations who are still growing, Hua Zhi has also been depressed. She wondered if her soul was too strong to affect even her height. In her previous life, she was only 1.56 meters tall and always had to wear high heels to make up for it. The photos on the Internet showed a bunch of tall people surrounding a short person like her.
Her height in this life was slightly better than in her previous life, but geographically speaking, the capital was also in the north, and her younger sisters were all taller than her, so she became the shortest among her peers and elders.
"What you said makes sense, that's why my Zhi'er is so capable." Zhu couldn't help laughing. She thought Zhi'er didn't care about this, but it turns out that she does care.
Hua Zhiquan thought that she was entertaining her parents with colorful clothes. Seeing her mother laugh, she also smiled. Laughter that had not been heard for many days could be heard in the house.
"I know you don't like to be in charge of things, so I'll let Fourth Aunt take care of the affairs of the backyard. You can go to Second Aunt's place more often. Second Uncle has been exiled, and she has no one to rely on in the mansion. I'm afraid she must feel uncomfortable feeling lost."
Zhu nodded, "You are right. She used to have Third Aunt to accompany her. Now that Younger Aunt is back, Third Aunt is probably focusing all her attention on her daughter. I will go there more often in the future. I can't help with other things, but I can do this."
PS: What a problem it is that I always misspell the last name. Every time I revise an article, I correct a lot of them, but there are always some that slip through.
