The current Yuji Braised Vegetables Store is a joint venture between the two. She contributes funds and prescriptions, and the aunt's family manages and manages, and the dividends are divided into fours and sixties at the end of the year.
At the end of last year, Xiaocao received a dividend from her cousin Liu Junping. She was surprised at how rich the money was, and kept asking her, fearing that her aunt would give her more profits. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I believe my cousin's repeated assurances. Looking at it this way, this year's dividend will be even more generous!
Looking at the orderly queue waiting for the wholesale, both sisters Yu Xiaocao and Liu Xiaoyan showed satisfied smiles. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in the crowd: gray hair, old face, slightly fierce slanted eyes, deep nasolabial folds at the corner of her mouth, making her look even meaner—this is not Xiaocao’s Cheap grandma Zhang!
Mrs. Zhang has disappeared from Xiaocao's sight for more than two years, and she almost can't remember this person. After these two years, Mrs. Zhang looked much older, her formerly straight waist was also bent, the wrinkles on her face seemed to be engraved, and more than half of her hair was gray.
Seeing her, Xiaocao couldn't help thinking of her grandfather. Over the years, old Yutou has been carefully nourished by the herbal diet and nourished by Lingshi water, and his originally frail body has become stronger. The elder brother wrote that when the farming season is busy, the grandfather is more energetic than the young man. Perhaps because of gaining weight, the wrinkles on his face also appeared much less. If he stood with Zhang Shi at this time, Zhang Shi, who was seven or eight years younger than him, definitely looked like his old sister!
Liu Xiaoyan sighed softly, and said: "Ever since she moved out of Dongshan Village, Mrs. Zhang has been getting goods from our store and selling them at a vegetable market in the south of the city. She used to just talk and order others to do things at home. Now, in order to provide for my uncle to study and maintain the two people’s livelihood, even if it is exposed to wind and rain, we have to go out to buy goods. Fortunately, there is a market for our stewed meat. I heard from my mother that when she was young I am not a lazy person, and the business is doing well. It is said that I have already rented a large shop in the vegetable market. In addition to selling stewed vegetables, I also approved some vegetables from the vegetable farmers to sell... "
"Where's my uncle? I heard that this year he passed the examination of scholar. Her hard work is not in vain, right?" Thinking of the time when she just crossed over, the whole family was tortured by her, Yu Xiaocao felt sorry for her A little sympathy.
Liu Xiaoyan nodded and said: "Although mother hates Mrs. Zhang's cruelty, she can't be cruel to her half-brother uncle. She goes to my uncle's school every now and then to bring him some food. Yes. Grandpa also asks someone to bring him some money from time to time."
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and continued: "Since the things that Mrs. Zhang committed were announced to the world and moved out of Dongshan Village, my little uncle seems to have grown a lot. The previous impetuousness, selfishness and trickery have all been put aside. I have been devoting myself to the school. After working hard for two or three years, I finally passed the examination as a scholar. However, my grades are relatively low, unlike our little stones who have grannies to receive. My mother asked the teacher in their school, sir With the talent of my little uncle, it is already the best result to be able to barely pass the exam in the future. Jinshi or something, don't even think about it!"
If my brother-in-law can pass the exam, he can eat imperial food every year, and he can also reduce or exempt taxes. Mrs. Zhang will do business for a few more years and save some money to buy some fields. Even if she doesn't cultivate it herself, leasing it to others is still a big income. In that case, can grandpa let go of his concerns and worries about his little son
Mrs. Zhang also saw Xiaocao at this time, her face changed obviously, and the eyes that met Xiaocao quickly avoided, and she hid her thin and rickety body behind the person in front.
The news that Xiaocao was named princess also spread to Fucheng. The aunt and uncle felt honored, not only bought the longest firecrackers to set off, but also sold stewed vegetables at a 20% discount for three consecutive days. The prefect of Jinwei Prefecture has expired and has been transferred back to the capital, and now the backstage of Yuji Braised Vegetables Shop is even stronger. In addition to the king of Yangjun, the backer also has a princess personally appointed by the emperor. This is also a big reason why Yu Ji Braised Vegetables is selling more and more popular, but no one dares to come and make trouble.
At that time, Mrs. Zhang was among the people who purchased the goods. Seeing the proud and high-spirited faces of Aunt Xiaocao's family, her stomach turned green with regret. If she had been nicer to Xiaocao's family at the beginning, and not so harsh and partial, she would have followed suit. Maybe, at this time, she is just like the old man, becoming the old lord of the family, and even living in a mansion in the capital, with groups of maids and servants serving her, enjoying endless glory and wealth...
Unfortunately, it is too late to regret. Ever since the news that she secretly harmed Xiaocao's grandma came to light, the Yu family has been strangers to her, and they have grown tired of seeing each other. Mrs. Zhang avoided Xiaocao's sight, for fear that as the princess, she would think of her past sins and be caught in prison.
As soon as she is old, it doesn't matter if she goes to jail or even beheaded. But she was worried that her youngest son, who was not welcomed by the Yu family, would be implicated. Even though the Yu family cared about family affection and let the youngest son go, but without her, the youngest son lost his source of income, how could he concentrate on studying
Mrs. Zhang decided to take a detour when meeting the Yu family in the future, and even if she couldn't get around, she would lower her posture and smile with her. As long as they don't pursue her past mistakes, she can even kneel in front of them and beg for forgiveness.
She is also a villain at heart. Before she appeared, Xiaocao had already left her behind. Besides, an old woman who is nearly sixty years old has to work hard every day, not only to support herself, but also to support her youngest son's family. In Xiaocao's view, the hardships and sufferings of life are the best torture and punishment for her.
After staying in Fucheng for two days, I mixed crystal meat, bound hoofs, and Zhou Hei Ya's sweet and spicy recipes to my aunt and cousin Xiaoyan. There are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year, and the business will be even hotter when there are new varieties of stewed vegetables.
After leaving Fucheng, she stayed in Tanggu for another two days. Tang Gu's greenhouse vegetables, melons and fruits are all monopolized by the Yu family. The Yu family's field has exceeded 3,000 mu in the past two years, and it is the largest private farm around Tanggu. High-yield winter wheat has been planted on 2,000 mu of farmland, and greenhouses have been set up for the remaining 1,000 mu of farmland since autumn. Vegetable merchants and restaurants in Tanggu and surrounding prefectures and counties all purchase fresh vegetables, melons and fruits from Yu's.
The prices of greenhouse vegetables, melons and fruits are several times or even ten times higher than in season, and the profits can be imagined. It's not like there are people who want to steal greenhouse farming technology. However, such things as single plastic film can only be produced by workshops under the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court, and the output is extremely low. Not everyone can get it!
The greenhouses in Beijing are monopolized by the royal family, and the other dignitaries are not indifferent. However, only fools would do things to compete with the royal family. Those who have a bright eye have tried it in the state capital far from the capital, and some clans are still building greenhouses in their fiefs. But there is no cheating device for the grass, and there is no experience in planting. The vegetables and fruits are crooked, and the cost may not be recovered. The failure of these people's attempts made other clan dignitaries who were about to make a move stop thinking about following suit. Greenhouse farming technology is still the only one.
Now is the time when vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse are selling hot. Except for Yu Xiaolian who manages the medicine workshop in Dongshan Village, everyone else in the Yu family is busy in the village. Even the old Yutou, who has become younger in recent years, also picks and weighs vegetables, and is extremely busy. Although the family hired a lot of long-term workers, there were enough manpower, but Lao Yu was full of energy and just couldn't take time off. The family saw that the busier he was, the better his energy was, so they let him keep busy.
"Father, mother! Your grass is back!!" Yu Xiaocao yelled from afar when she saw her father and mother who were busy weighing and settling accounts in front of the warehouse.
Faintly hearing the voice of their youngest daughter, Yu Hai and his wife felt that they were hallucinating. Zhuang Xiaomo sharp-eyed saw the petite figure galloping towards him on a red horse in the distance, and with a wide smile, he hurriedly said to Yu Hailiu: "Uncle Yu, Auntie, it's Xiaocao who is back! Go quickly Come on, I'm in no hurry here."
Zhuang Xiaomo has settled down in Dongshan Village since the Japanese plague. As he grew older, he became more and more sure of his thoughts on Xiaolian, a capable little girl. However, seeing the Yu family's growing family business, Zhuang Xiaomo felt a lot of pressure.
Although Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu treated him like his own son, sending him delicious food from time to time, his clothes, shoes and socks were almost all made by Aunt Yu. But at the age of seventeen, he knew very well that if he wanted to marry Yu Xiaolian, it was not enough to have character and sincerity, and he had to create a sufficient living environment for her.
Therefore, when Xiaocao came back last year to supervise the construction of vegetable greenhouses, he mentioned the Beijing Zhongzhong Vegetable and Fruit Store. After hearing this, Zhuang Xiaomo had an idea, and decided to set up a shop specializing in selling vegetables in greenhouses in Tanggu.
He didn't have a lot of funds in his hands, so he wanted to rent a stall in the vegetable market first, and start from setting up a stall. After Uncle Yu heard about his idea, he expressed his strong support. But his plan to set up a stall to sell greenhouse vegetables was overturned by Uncle Yu. After Uncle Yu's analysis, he was suddenly stunned. Most of the people who go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables are civilians. Who can afford expensive counterattack vegetables
In the end, Uncle Yu provided him with "start-up" funds, rented two shops in the wealthy area in the west of Tanggu City, and opened Tanggu's first high-quality vegetable and fruit shop. Of course, he borrowed the funds, and he will return the money to Uncle Yu in batches when he makes money.
Last autumn and winter, Zhuang Xiaomo's vegetable and fruit shop made a lot of money. Yu's greenhouse only provides wholesale services, and does not accept retail sales except for a few regular customers. Tang Gu has never been short of rich people, so the greenhouse vegetables in Zhuang Xiaomo's shop became very popular.
In order to facilitate the purchase, he bought a donkey cart. Every day before dawn, I drive to the suburbs to buy goods. I am busy selling goods in the morning and noon. Sometimes when the business is good, I have to replenish a truckload of goods in the afternoon. Every day is busy but fulfilling.
