"Long time no see, the third master is getting more and more blessed." When You Jin saw the third master Huang, he respectfully bowed to the younger generation.
"Girl of the Su family, it's been a long time since I haven't seen him, but I've grown up a lot." The third master Huang just returned from the capital, and he was tired from the journey. As soon as he heard that it was the girl from the Su family who came to him, he hurriedly asked the person below him to help him. She took her to the second-floor wing to speak: "You have good news, I only came back for two days, and you came to the door." Naturally, the third master Huang knew that the master's eldest master and the young master were friends with the Su family girl. In addition, the Su family also became rich under the leadership of this little girl, and she couldn't help but glance at the Su family girl.
You Jin sat down next to him, with a smile on his face, and said, "The third master makes me ashamed to say this, the main reason for coming to harass today is to know that the third master is well-informed and want to inquire about some news with the third master. "You Jin didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point.
Although the Su family mainly relies on dim sum shops for a living, they still grow a lot of vegetables on weekdays. In winter, they also supply Yunweixuan with rare fresh vegetables: bean sprouts and bean sprouts. It has always maintained a good relationship, and it is not the first time that You Jin has come to him to inquire about news.
The third master Huang put down the teacup and said, "I've been inquiring all the time. Tell me, what news do you want to inquire about this time?" Although the little girl of the Su family likes to ask him for information, the third master Huang did not keep it private. They are all knowledgable and unspoken.
In fact, Mr. Huang has always admired this little girl very much. He dared to think and act. If he had a son in his family, he would have to marry this little girl back home as his daughter-in-law. With such a daughter-in-law, he was afraid that their family would not be able to. Is one generation better than the next? Thinking that there are only three daughters in the family, Huang Sanye can only sigh silently.
"I heard that the North is going to start a war a few days ago?" You Jin has been uneasy since hearing the news a few days ago. Although Luohe Prefecture is not close to the border, if it really breaks through the North, but In half a month, the iron cavalry will be able to attack Luohe Prefecture. At that time, whether the dozens of people in her Su family can save their lives is a matter of choice. Young Jin was born in the military in his previous life, so he naturally knew how cruel the war was.
Hearing that the little girl of the Su family came up with such a hot topic, the third master Huang was a little frightened, coughed a few times, and then said, "I only received the news not long ago, but it was not large-scale. The war was just a few small battles over the border where rogue soldiers scrambled for supplies. This year, there was a severe drought in the spring and summer in the north, and there were not many crops. They were all killed by the drought. It has been snowing heavily for a long time, and you also know that the nomadic people in the north raise some cattle, sheep and horses. Isn’t that a lot of freezing! The lack of food rations naturally led to the idea of the people on the Dafeng frontier.”
That is to say, but the third master of Huang is still worried. In the unfinished words, he is also afraid that if a war breaks out, Luohe Prefecture is located in the north of Dafeng, with abundant products and an important pass. One, of course, is one of the main targets of the enemy army.
What Huang Sanye thought of, You Jin naturally thought of it too. In the silent wing, an old man and a young man sat facing each other with a solemn expression.
After a while, the third master Huang broke the silence of the room: "Don't think too much about Su family girl, we in Dafeng can be regarded as the country's rich and powerful now. If we really fight, we may not lose." That's what he said. However, if they were fighting in the north, in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, Dafeng's army would definitely not have the advantage of the enemy army in the north, and Mr. Huang didn't know what to say, so he had to answer a few words.
You Jin was also absent-minded, and asked some news about the capital. It has been a while since she received another letter from Xiao Linyu, and she felt a little lost for no reason, so she couldn't help but inquire a few more words.
"I didn't see the eldest young master when I entered Beijing this time, but I heard from the steward of the capital that the eldest young master seems to have made a marriage appointment, and the young master has also started to study in the official school in Beijing, I am afraid that he will not know it in three or five years. I've come to Luohe Prefecture again." Huang Sanye didn't know the point, he just thought that the girl of the Su family was on good terms with the young master, so he mentioned a few more things about the young master: "I was on Suzaku Street one day. Seeing the little young master riding a white horse across the street, the little girl in the capital sent Qiu Bo to send her eyeballs out!" Speaking of this, the third master Huang couldn't help laughing a few times.
The dignified expression on You Jin's face was also put away, showing a shallow smile, and replied: "I didn't expect the folk customs in the capital to be so open, and there will be opportunities in the future to experience it."
The two of them tacitly turned the story of the North Territory, and after a while, You Jin got up and said goodbye: "There is a lot of harassment today, thank you third master."
"Nothing, it's winter now, I have nothing to do to talk to you, but it can be considered to pass the time." Huang Sanye sent the person to the entrance of the stairs, and the two exchanged a few words, Young Jincai After leaving Yunweixuan, I finally returned to Sujiaxiang dim sum shop.
Su Jiaxiang's business is getting bigger and bigger now. When Youjin stepped into the gate of her shop, none of the seven or eight little girls in front of her who greeted the guests were free. Everyone had a warm smile on their faces, Yingying. Sheng Yanyu, the customers who came to buy dim sum were also coaxed into a happy mood, so I couldn't blame Su Jiaxiang's business for getting better and better.
The shopkeeper saw You Jin, and hurriedly dealt with the matter at hand, and greeted him: "Why is the eldest girl free today? The second girl is upstairs!" On weekdays, the eldest girl doesn't come to the shop often Anything can be dealt with by the two girls and the three girls after consultation. If it really can't be solved, it will bother the eldest girl, so the shopkeeper sees the eldest girl and thinks that something has happened. The expression on his face remained the same, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Nothing, I happened to pass by when I was talking about things, so I came in and took a look. You can go and do your work." Young Jin sent the shopkeeper and went straight to the second floor of the Su family's private room, looking through the window. After seeing the delivery in the shop, I talked to You Yin for a while.
Now that Su Jiaxiang's shop is big enough, Youjin has also opened up an elegant house on the second floor, which has provided a good choice for meeting friends and shopping and resting for the female relatives of wealthy families who have conditions and needs.
There are twelve elegant houses on the second floor of Su Jiaxiang, with a minimum consumption of one tael of silver. A tael of silver is not worth much in the eyes of the daughters of wealthy families. In addition, Su Jiaxiang has several kinds of desserts that are baked right now. They are delicious only when they are steaming hot, so many daughters of wealthy families come out to go shopping. When you play and rest, you will choose Sujiaxiang dim sum shop.
Therefore, these twelve elegant residences also brought in nearly a hundred taels of income per month. Young Yin, who was hesitant at the beginning, was once again convinced by the decision made by the eldest sister. As soon as Yin saw the eldest sister coming, he hurriedly put down his work and greeted him: "Why did the eldest sister come here? Don't you want to talk about business?"
Touching Youyin's now very shiny green silk, Youjin said with a smile, "I've finished talking about things, and I'll come to see you early when I see the time. How's the business going recently?"
Hearing the elder sister's question, Young Yin held the account book in front of the elder sister: "This month, I have used two stone and eight buckets of fine flour, more than 300 eggs, and one stone of red beans, mung beans and other beans. One hundred and nineteen taels, and the income is 823,24 yuan." It was only in the middle of this month, and the Su family's dim sum shop had already made more than 600 taels. It can be said that the business is very popular.
"Your accounts are more clear now." Young Jin nodded with satisfaction: "You should discuss with the shopkeeper and Young Pearl more about the shop. If you are not sure, tell me immediately."
Now Su Jiaxiang is under the care of the prefect's wife, and many wealthy families in Luohe Prefecture are also loyal customers of Su Jiaxiang. Naturally, they will not dare to come to blackmail and touch porcelain like they did at the beginning, but they have to run a shop. , There are still a lot of trivial matters, Young Yin's temperament is still softer, Young Jin is also determined to change her temperament, so even if there is no shortage of manpower in the family, Young Yin still needs to manage Su Jiaxiang's business behind the scenes.
"Don't worry, eldest sister, I know." You Yin was also happy when she got the affirmation of eldest sister, knowing that eldest sister's words were not malicious, and she was very educated.
Putting down the account book, You Jin took a sip of hot tea and asked, "How many raw materials are in the warehouse now?" It’s not too much, at most about a month’s worth of raw materials.
Sure enough, Young Yin replied: "There's still about half a month's worth, and shopkeeper Song will send new raw materials in two days."
"I'll ask someone to send a message to Shopkeeper Song. This time we'll prepare the ingredients for a few more months." You Jin thought about it and decided to be prepared. If there is a real war, at least the food can support it. The family has weathered the storm: "You will do the warehouse registration when the time comes, and the key to the warehouse must be kept safe."
"I know that the key to the warehouse is only owned by me and Youzhu. Even the shopkeeper, I never let her take the key." Youyin nodded in response, she naturally knew the importance of her own warehouse, and the keys were personal. Keeper: "Why is the eldest sister thinking about preparing more food?"
"I heard that there is a snow disaster in the north, and I am afraid that the price of food will fluctuate. It's okay to store it first. There is food on the left and right, and it will not go bad for a year or two." You Jin glanced at the somewhat puzzled Young Yin and explained with a smile. . Her face was light, and Young Yin agreed, and didn't ask any more questions.
Although Young Jin has no idea in his heart, but the news of the turmoil in the north came out of the mouth of the third master Huang, so there is an eight-point chance that it is true. Even if he knew it was true, Young Jin did not dare to tell his family about it. People say that you only need to start preparing secretly. If the war really starts, you have to prepare a way to survive for an old shop.
The warehouses of Su's house in Wuliqiao and Su's shop in the city are full of grain. Young-jin is buying cotton and skins, and he kills two pigs from the pig farm on Houjiawan Mountain, and smokes them all. Into bacon for a rainy day. The Su family only thought that she was preparing for the New Year, and no one knew that she was quietly starting to prepare for the war.
It took only a few days for the Su family to buy food. Sure enough, the news of the start of war in the north spread quietly in Luohe Prefecture like the ubiquitous cold wind. For a time, people were panicked. The prepared materials began to rise in price one after another.
Even the Su family, who usually does not go to the gate, hears the news of the war in the north. .
