Chapter 221 There are more than one person who wants to make money from snails
"Hey, besides the eight-treasure rice, this stir-fried meat is the pig-killing rice?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at the stir-fried pork. There was no chili at all, only a little bit of shredded ginger and soy sauce.
"Yes, the pig-killing rice." Su accompanied Xiao Jiuyue to eat and said, "Mother Geng said that the pork is fresh and perfect for the pig-killing rice. I was also worried that you would want to eat the eight-treasure rice, so I made it all."
"Mom, I really wish I had another belly." Xiao Jiuyue stuffed her stomach to the brim. She burped and said, "It smells good! Pork tastes sweet!"
"You." Su wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Yuer, if you like it, ask the kitchen to make it tomorrow."
"Don't." Xiao Jiuyue stopped him immediately after hearing this. Although his beautiful mother loved to cry, she would definitely do what she said. Whenever she said something was delicious, the kitchen would be eager to make it for her every day.
"Mom, no matter how delicious something is, if you eat it every day, you will get tired of it. You still need to leave some aftertaste." Xiao Jiuyue decisively changed the subject and asked, "Mom, is everything okay at home these days?"
"It's fine." Su looked at her with a smile. "You had the extra maids and servants grow vegetables before. Now that summer is here, the family can't finish eating all the cucumbers, eggplants, and other vegetables. Zhiyunlou makes money, and the workshop can also make money by selling canned food. After paying the family expenses, there is still a slight surplus."
"This slight surplus is not enough." Xiao Jiuyue stood up, picked up a box, and handed it to Su, saying, "Mother, open it quickly and take a look."
"You kid, you are so mysterious, what is this?" Su looked at the box and thought it was a gift. When she opened it, she saw a stack of silver bills inside!
Su closed the box and shut it again, looking at her: "Yuer, didn't you withdraw money to go to the restaurant before? Why, why is there still so much here?"
"Of course I earned it." Xiao Jiuyue straightened his back and said proudly, "Hongdu Restaurant, the profit after ten days of opening is 40%."
"This, there are so many!"
Su used to be in charge of the Xiao family's finances. Although Xiao Fu was a Shangshu, a second-rank official, his annual salary was fixed. The rest came from the Xiao family's shops, farms and real estate. In addition, her parents who passed away early left her a lot of good things. In terms of money, they were not tight, but they were definitely not well-off.
"It's not bad. Once Fengchunlou has established a firm foothold in Hongdu, there will be more and more in the future." Xiao Jiuyue pushed the box in front of her and said, "Mom, from now on, our family doesn't have to worry about money."
"Then don't work so hard in the future." Su said immediately.
Xiao Jiuyue smiled and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Mom, I brought gifts for you, Grandma, and everyone else."
After distributing the gifts, Xiao Jiuyue prepared to go find Shi Lizheng. Before she left the house, she heard that Shi Lizheng had arrived.
lobby.
"Miss Xiao, you are finally back. I want to tell you a good news. The rice in the fields will definitely have a good harvest this year!" Since the rice began to ear, Shi Lizheng went to the fields three times a day.
He planted part of it according to the previous planting method, and planted the other part according to Xiao Jiuyue's method!
After the ears emerged, Shi Lizheng, who checked three times a day, soon discovered that the rice grown according to Xiao Jiuyue's method had longer ears!
Longer rice ears mean more rice grains can be grown. As time goes by, the ears are slowly maturing. The heavy and bent rice ears look like they contain a lot of rice grains!
Shi Lizheng is now looking at the rice that is becoming more and more full, and his mood is very complicated, both happy and complicated!
The more rice there is, the better the harvest will be. The complicated thing is that he should have planted all the fields with Xiao Jiuyue instead of just a part of it. Every day when lying in bed, Shi Lizheng felt so regretful.
"Congratulations then." Xiao Jiuyue looked at her with a smile and said, "The rice harvest is good, so you don't have to worry about going hungry anymore."
"Yes, yes." Shi Li's eyes narrowed with laughter. He stood up, suppressed his smile, and looked at her seriously: "Miss Xiao, I want to thank you on behalf of my son Youmin. Originally, Youmin wanted to come, but he is busy collecting snails everywhere now, getting up early and working late, so he really doesn't have time!"
"Thank you, Miss Xiao, for recommending Youmin to Fengchunlou." Shi Lizheng has recently seen his son full of energy and motivation every day. As a father, his gratitude to Xiao Jiuyue has reached its peak!
"Shi Youmin is careful, conscientious and cautious in his work. It was he who won this job for himself. This time when we went to the provincial capital, Manager Zeng praised Shi Youmin and said that we should expand the snail harvest and harvest more in the future." Xiao Jiuyue repeated Zeng Qing's words verbatim. Shi Lizheng listened and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"However, I still have to remind you that although snails are seasonal, as long as he harvests good snails, he can earn this much money every year. Whether he wants to make money just this year or continue to make money in the long run is up to him!"
Xiao Jiuyue reminded him, "Shi Youmin isn't the only one who wants to make money from selling snails."
Shi Lizheng immediately put away his smile and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Miss Xiao. I will remind Youmin to do his job well. I won't accept any bad snails. I will make sure that the snails delivered to the restaurant are the best!"
Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly and said nothing more. No matter how good his words were or how many promises he made, it was useless. He still had to wait for a while to know whether Shi Youmin was reliable or not.
"Shi Lizheng, can that piece of wasteland under the pear tree be used as a workshop?" Xiao Jiuyue asked directly. At first, she considered building it next to the canning workshop.
In the end, Xiao Jiuyue still felt that the open space under the pear tree diagonally behind the canning workshop seemed more suitable.
Most of the people coming in and out of the embroidery workshop were women, but because the canning workshop involved hard labor, there were still quite a few men coming in and out.
The open space under the pear tree is different. There is a main road outside the door. It is between the canning workshop and the Xiao family's old house. The most important thing is that it is close to the Xiao family's old house. In the future, when Aunt Lan and Third Aunt go to the embroidery workshop, it will be closer and safer!
"We need to build a workshop?" Shi Lizheng asked doubtfully, "Hasn't the canning workshop already been expanded?"
"No, it's not a canning workshop, but an embroidery workshop." As soon as Xiao Jiuyue opened his mouth, Shi Lizheng immediately said, "I see. Seven or eight people in the village are doing embroidery work at the Xiao family. Now, are they going to build an embroidery workshop specifically for this purpose?"
"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue nodded affirmatively. "If possible, I want to start construction in the next two days and build the embroidery workshop before the autumn harvest begins."
"Autumn harvest, there's only less than half a month left." Shi Lizheng was shocked at first, then said, "Miss Xiao, based on your previous experience, you can approve the land to build a workshop, but isn't it too hasty to do so?"
