Chapter 220 Pig Killing Dinner

"Jiuyue, you are right, all medicines are poisonous. Tingwu will not take medicine unless he is sick. He will get more sun exposure. Sure enough, he feels much better." Aunt Xiao watched Xiao Tingwu getting better day by day, and she was even more determined to complete the construction of Zhiyun Tower!

"That's good. Now Tingwu looks not only in good spirits, but also has light in her eyes." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xiao Tingwu. She used to be like a flower kept in a greenhouse, which could be broken by the slightest wind and rain.

Now, it is like a little grass that strives to grow upward.

"Sister, can we sell the silk flowers and paper flowers that He Lian and I made together?" Xiao Tingwu asked curiously. Ever since she decided to make silk flowers and paper flowers, Xiao Tingwu plunged into them. Every time her fingers flew up and down to make beautiful hair flowers, she felt indescribably happy.

"Of course." Xiao Jiuyue said affirmatively: "The silk flowers and paper flower jewelry I brought to the capital were very popular. Look, I brought back a lot of silk gauze from the capital this time. Silk gauze, in all kinds of colors."

"That's great." When Xiao Tingwu heard that the things she made could be sold for money, she was so excited that she felt like flying. She pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, big sister."

Xiao Jiuyue looked at the little girl's happy expression and said jokingly, "Since you call me Big Sister, don't be so formal."

"Sister, I will definitely do it well with He Lian."

Xiao Tingwu couldn't wait to go and see the silk and yarn he brought back from the city.

"Jiuyue, Third Auntie must thank you very much." Third Auntie Xiao spoke with sincerity, "If it weren't for you letting Tingwu out to bask in the sun and letting Tingwu find something he enjoys doing, Tingwu wouldn't be where he is today!"

Aunt Xiao likes the current Xiao Tingwu, she looks full of energy. As for her love of making silk flowers, then she can do it. It would be best if she can make money, but she is not afraid if she can't!

In any case, Third Aunt Xiao has been teaching Xiao Tingwu about the rules and how to manage the household.

"I hope Third Aunt doesn't think I'm meddling." Xiao Jiuyue said modestly.

"How could that be, Jiuyue? Third Aunt is not such an ungrateful person." Third Aunt Xiao said immediately, her eyes narrowed with laughter. She said, "Jiuyue, we came here to talk to you about Zhiyun Tower."

"I've been discussing with Shang Lan about building an embroidery workshop next to the canning workshop." Aunt Xiao didn't call her Aunt Lan. In the past, Aunt Xiao never thought that she would be so close to Aunt Lan!

Aunt Xiao looked at Shang Lan and said, "You should speak."

When it comes to talking, Shang Lan is much better than her.

"Miss, Zhiyunlou has a lot of custom-made garments now. We are in the old house, so if we want to hire more embroiderers, we won't be able to do it. Besides, many ready-made garments need space to be displayed, and we also need fabrics."

Shang Lan was very excited when she mentioned business. She talked about all the advantages and disadvantages of Zhiyunlou now, and said: "We have no problem selling the clothes of Zhiyunlou, but if we can't make them well, this business will lose more and more money. Only if we make the clothes for every lady well, we will have nothing to fear in the future!"

"My aunt is right. We at Zhiyunlou make custom-made clothes with great care. We naturally treat every expensive piece of clothing seriously!"

Xiao Jiuyue said, "We can sell the fabrics from Zhiyunlou at a fair price, but ready-made clothes must be expensive. We don't mind if no one orders them. As long as we make them well, people will like them no matter how expensive they are."

If you can really make ready-made haute couture clothes, you can make a lot of money even if you only take a few orders!

"I agree with building an embroidery workshop. Have you drawn up a rough plan? How do you want to build it?" Xiao Jiuyue sat up straight and said, "The autumn harvest is coming soon. We should build the embroidery workshop before the harvest."

"This, so fast!" Shang Lan was stunned. She had thought about the embroidery workshop for a long time and discussed the words with the Third Madam for a long time. At the same time, she had prepared the draft in her mind several times last night, fearing that she could not convince Xiao Jiuyue. Unexpectedly, she just opened her mouth now, and without even agreeing, she started thinking about building it?

"Of course we have to hurry. The autumn harvest takes at least a month. After that, the oranges will be ready. We still have to plow the fields, trample the rice stubble, and then plant radishes and cabbages. Everyone's very busy."

Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking and continued, "When autumn arrives, winter bamboo shoots will be available in the mountains. Fengchunlou will definitely need to harvest them. The village laborers will all be out digging for bamboo shoots. Who will have time to build an embroidery workshop for you?"

"Outside laborers are not as good as the laborers in the village." Xiao Jiuyue reminded: "The villagers are currently in the off-season. If you want to build a workshop, now is the time to do it."

"Then, what should we do?" Aunt Xiao was at a loss for words and looked at Shang Lan for help.

Shang Lan pondered for a while before saying, "Miss, although we used to make fabrics, we also have our own embroidery workshop. Can we do the same?"

"Okay. Give me the overall design today, and I'll go talk to Shi Lizheng." Xiao Jiuyue said, watching them leave anxiously, and reminded them, "The layout of the house should be finalized. It can be a little bigger, and there should be some space for future development."

Shang Lan's eyes flashed with confusion, and she said, "Miss, do you mean to leave more rooms?"

"It's better to have more than less. Who knows if the embroidery workshop will need to be expanded in the future?" Xiao Jiuyue asked back.

"Okay, Miss, don't worry. I'll discuss it when I get back." Shang Lan hurried back. After taking a few steps, she put down the Zhiyunlou account book in her arms and said, "Miss, this is the Zhiyunlou account book, and the second batch of fabrics my brother sent."

"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the thick account book and started flipping through it.

Shang Lan and Aunt Xiao left. Seeing that Su Jiuyue was busy again, Su Shi did not disturb her. She left carefully and went to the kitchen. She had to go and make more of Yue'er's favorite food today!

Make more jujube paste pastry and jujube flower pastry.

Su happily went to the kitchen to busy herself. When she arrived at the kitchen and saw the pig that Manager Jin had bought, she realized that Xiao Jiuyue was going to treat everyone to meat today.

"Mother Geng, Mother Wang, you'll have to work hard in the kitchen again today." Su said with a smile: "Yu'er said that whether you went to the capital to accompany Yue'er or stayed at the old house, you all worked hard."

"Madam, this is what we should do." Mother Geng felt a little guilty when looking at the fat pig. She really didn't feel tired at all during this trip to the provincial capital.

"That's right, ma'am, this is what we should do." Mother Wang said as she called on everyone to start working. The pig had been slaughtered, and if it wasn't processed quickly, it would probably go bad in such hot weather.

"Madam, how about giving everyone a taste of the pig-killing meal at noon today?" asked Mother Geng.
