Manager Liu hesitated for a moment, wondering if the other party might lower the price. At this time, Yu Xiaocao spoke again: "Guard Liu, you also know the relationship between our family and your future young Patriarch, how about this! We will save face on Wednesday, and a catty of seeds will count you forty cents! But I hope Mr. Liu will keep his mouth shut and tell the outside world that he bought it for fifty yuan a catty!"
One catty lost ten Wen at once, and five hundred mu of land lost a total of one hundred taels of silver! Manager Liu glanced at Yu Hai, saw that he had no objection, and thought to himself: People say that the real manager of the Yu family is his youngest daughter, and the starting point of the third young master's success - Zhenxiu Restaurant, many of the best-selling and delicious dishes come from her hand.
In the past, he thought that the rumors were exaggerated. How capable can a little girl be? But the family loves her and puts the credit on her. Today, it seems that he believed it! One hundred taels is not a small amount for anyone from a farming family.
Especially Dongshan Village, which has just experienced the burning, killing and looting of Japanese pirates, and the whole village is rebuilding its houses. One hundred taels, you can build a nice house! And the little girl didn't discuss it with her family at all, so she helped to lose weight on her own initiative, and the old man still had an air of getting used to it. It seems that it is not without reason that Erfang mother and son befriend Ms. Yu.
Liu Guanshi thought about it, when he saw the little girl in the future, he must not be negligent, and treat her like a master. Aren't the buddies who have a good relationship with her in Zhenxiu Restaurant all promoted to the management level? He has been in charge of the sacrificial field for more than 20 years, and he should move his nest...
Thinking of this, with a bit of respect in his expression, he smiled and said: "No, no! With the relationship between the Yu family and our master, we will definitely not ask for prices. If our third young master finds out that the old slave is bargaining with Miss Yu, Why don't you take away my position in charge! Just pay fifty cents a catty!"
Yu Xiaocao raised her eyebrows, she really didn't take advantage of it! Since Guanshi Liu is so up-to-date, he can't be allowed to go back empty-handed. In terms of price, Yu Xiaocao didn't say anything more, and weighed 10,000 catties of seeds for Liu Guanshi at the price of fifty cents per catty. Mr. Liu paid the seed money of five hundred taels of silver smoothly.
Before leaving, Yu Xiaocao secretly handed him fifty taels of silver, saying it was Manager Liu's hard-earned money. Manager Liu was shocked, and retreated in a panic: "No way, absolutely no way! If the master knows that the old slave has been greedy for the money for sacrificing the land, wouldn't he skin the old slave?"
Yu Xiaocao hurriedly handed him the ladder: "Look at what you said, why is this greedy? Isn't the money for the seeds worth the money? You have worked hard all the way here, and this is for you to drink tea..."
"No, no! This old slave has been on the sacrificial field for more than 20 years and has always been innocent. Miss Yu, please don't lead others to commit crimes! If people find out, this old slave's reputation will be ruined! " Guanshi Liu cried and clenched his sleeves tightly, fearing that she would force money into it.
Just kidding, his primary goal now is to make friends with the Yu family, especially Miss Yu Xiaocao. Fifty taels of silver seems to be a lot, almost as much as his annual wages, but he can't make big mistakes because of small things, and ruin big things! He knew that as long as Miss Yu mentioned him in front of Third Young Master, the future would be much smoother!
Yu Xiaocao saw that he was really unwilling to ask for it, and her impression of Guanshi Liu improved a little. After thinking about it, he took out a few wax pills from his purse, which contained pills for treating diarrhea, colds and coughs, all of which were good medicines that could not be bought in line at Tongrentang. Especially her workshop was also pushed by that stinky guy Zhu Junyang, and now is the time when it is out of stock. I heard that a pill in Tongrentang in the capital was sold at a high price of one hundred taels.
Not to mention, the price is not exaggerated. Tongrentang's medicine pills and golden sore medicine are very effective. Let’s talk about colds and colds. Drinking bitter medicine for three to five days may not be able to cure the disease. One pill, or two for serious cases, can cure the disease completely. The same is true for gold sore medicine. Sprinkle some on the injured area to stop bleeding and relieve pain immediately, and the chance of inflammation is greatly reduced. The wound will heal in three to five days. If you switch to other golden sore medicines, don't even think about getting rid of the scabs every ten days or eight days!
The most important thing in the capital is rich people. Of course, I am happy to exchange one hundred taels of silver for a few days less suffering. Especially those big merchants who are making money every day, how much more money can they earn if they recover one day earlier? The delicate children of high-ranking officials and aristocratic families can't stand the torture of serious diseases. For pills that can cure diseases, let alone one hundred taels, no matter how expensive they are, there are people rushing to buy them.
I heard that the next selection of imperial merchants, Tongrentang has already entered the eyes of the palace. All kinds of pills and syrups have already been set as tributes to the palace!
Now in the entire Tanggu Town, there are only a few that can afford pills. The old man of the Zhou family is getting old, and his health is getting worse day by day. He has prepared a few pills at home for emergencies. The young master and the young lady of the big house clamored for sweet syrup whenever they coughed.
Among the servants, only the old man and those who are capable around the old man occasionally have the chance to be rewarded with a pill by the master. People like Liu Guanshi who were sent to the suburbs where the birds don’t shit to manage the sacrifice fields have never even seen a pill. . At this time, Miss Yu took five pills as soon as she took a shot. Can Manager Liu not be excited? Rationally, he felt that he should decline, but emotionally, he was reluctant to do so. This is a good medicine that money can't buy!
In the past few days, the old father ate a few pieces of iced watermelon greedily, and he felt a little upset. After taking several medicines, there was no improvement, and it became heavier and heavier. The doctor said that his father was getting old, his various organs were aging, and even a minor illness might kill him.
Today, when Guanshi Liu came out, his father was already lying in bed and got up, with a look of disgrace on his face. Among the pills given by Ms. Yu, two were for treating diarrhea. If he shirks it, it is very likely that he shirks his father's life!
After struggling for a long time, Guanshi Liu gritted his teeth and took the five precious pills with trembling hands. He is less than forty years old now, and he can still earn money in the future. The old father is the only one, and if he is gone, he will be gone forever!
Seeing Guanshi Liu took the pills, Yu Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief. This Manager Liu is too cautious, she has to grind for a long time before she is willing to accept the few pills she made casually! As if she would go to Zhou Xiaosan and sue him for accepting bribes!
You know, the pills she made at random are more effective than the pills in the workshop. On the one hand, she added more Lingshi water. drug in the middle. A seemingly inconspicuous pill is two to three times as effective as the pill produced by the workshop!
Therefore, after Liu Guanshi returned home and gave his old father a pill, the diarrhea stopped immediately, and his face became much rosier. After half a day, I can go down to the ground and walk around the sacrificial field, and my body is more energetic than before I was not sick. Liu Guanshi offered the remaining pills as if they were holy medicine. These pills can save lives when necessary! ! No wonder those rich people flock to Tong Ren Tang’s pills, no amount of money can buy them back!
How could the news that the steward of the Zhou family came to Yu's Zhuangzi to buy good seeds be hidden from other families who paid close attention to the high-yielding wheat seeds? There are many rich people in Tanggu, even those who made their fortunes from business, which family did not buy hundreds of acres of fertile land when buying property? These properties are all necessary, okay
The second person who came to buy good seeds was the Yao family who didn't eat vegetables other than those from the Yu family. The steward of the Yao family has been promoted to be a capable steward next to the old man, but he is familiar with the Yu family after all, so he was sent over to contact the Yu family.
He didn't bother Yu Hai, who was busy in the field, and went directly to Yu Xiaocao, who was raising corn seeds, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Miss Yu, are you all right?"
"Steward Yao! I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you have been promoted to be the chief steward. Congratulations!" Yu Xiaocao congratulated him.
Manager Yao shook his hands again and again, and said modestly: "Isn't it because of the glory of the Yu family? The vegetables of the Yu family let me show my face in front of the old man. Thanks to the old man's wrong love, I was transferred to serve by his side. Unfortunately, your family Most of the dishes were ruined by Japanese pirates... We couldn't buy vegetables from Yu's family, our grandpa's appetite had decreased, and when it was time to eat, he would sigh at the vegetables! Ms. Yu, I wonder when your house will be finished? "
"The house is still early! However, we decided to open a vegetable garden on Zhuangzi, plant some seasonal vegetables, and supply them to Tanggu and the surrounding areas. The growth cycle of green leafy vegetables is short. After ten days and a half months, maybe they will be on the market. Already!"
Yu Xiaocao has long wanted to expand the scope of vegetable cultivation. The few acres of land in the courtyard of the house has gradually become insufficient to supply the delicacy restaurants in Tanggu and Fucheng. The big households in Tanggu Town who came to buy vegetables, except for old people like the Yao family, have stopped supplying them. Those who are used to eating vegetables from Yu's family complained a lot.
Now, the Zhou family has opened another Zhenxiu Restaurant at the pier, which is larger than Tanggu and Fucheng, and it is also a comprehensive hotel integrating accommodation, food and bathing. On Wednesday, I sneaked out of my busy schedule and went to Dongshan Village, pestering her to overcome all difficulties, ensure the supply of vegetables at Zhenxiulou Port Store, and strive for a hit. Let those merchants who come and go, whenever they arrive at Tanggu Port, think of Zhenxiu Restaurant... In this way, it is imminent to expand vegetable planting!
Fortunately, Zhuangzi of the Yu family is closer to Tanggu and Fucheng than Dongshan Village, and there is an official road from Tanggu directly to Fucheng in front of Zhuangzi, so the transportation is more convenient. After discussing with her father, she first opened up a ten-acre vegetable garden on the village and found two careful and loyal families to manage it. In the future, the vegetable fields on Zhuangzi will supply restaurants and families in Fucheng and Tanggu. Dongshan Village is closer to the port, and the vegetables in the yard of the house are exclusively supplied to the delicacy restaurant in Tanggu Port!
