Chapter 426 The Big Boss
In Fu'an Village, the Xiao family's old house is filled with joy everywhere.
On the night of New Year’s Eve last year, when Xiao Jiuyue took the account book and calculated how much money everyone had earned, the Xiao family was the happiest and most excited!
Su is in charge of the household and has a count of the income every month.
The second and third wives could probably guess that they were the ones who managed Zhiyun Tower and the canning workshop at the foot of the mountain. They knew how much money they earned every month.
The only ones I didn’t count were Fengchun Tower, Yanjing, Candy Shop and the newly opened Ruyuge.
To be honest, these shops are not much different from those of the second and third rooms. It is all thanks to Xiao Jiuyue that these places can make money.
When Xiao Jiuyue told them how much money they had earned in total, the people from the second and third rooms looked at Xiao Jiuyue as if they were looking at the God of Wealth!
The weather was fine in the first month of the year, and the Xiao family began to pack up their things one after another, preparing to meet up with Xiao Fu and the others and go to Beijing together.
Xiao Jiuyue also became busy. Before going to Beijing, she had to arrange the business here.
Especially the newly opened Ruyu Pavilion.
"Miss Xiao, did I hear correctly?" Jin Ruyu was shocked when she heard Xiao Jiuyue's words: "You are going back to Shengjing?"
Jin Ruyu had finally rushed all the way from Xiangcheng to seek refuge with Xiao Jiuyue, but now she was told that Xiao Jiuyue was from Shengjing and was going back to Shengjing.
"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue raised her lips slightly and nodded. "How about it, Shopkeeper Jin, are you interested in opening a shop in Shengjing?"
"Going to Shengjing?" Jin Ruyu felt like she was dreaming. She had just been fighting in the main hall of the city, but Xiao Jiuyue was about to go to Shengjing. Especially when she heard about Xiao Jiuyue's former identity, Jin Ruyu was even more shocked.
She was once a second-rank official of the dynasty and the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue!
With such a noble status, she actually followed her to do business. Does this count as clinging to someone's influence?
"Yes, you can open it in Hongdu first. If everything goes well, you can come to me if you want to go to Shengjing." Xiao Jiuyue looked at her shocked expression and reminded her, "The Xiao family is still guilty."
"Don't be afraid, Miss Xiao." Jin Ruyu didn't even hesitate. She said, "I've been making rouge and powder all my life. I've experienced ups and downs. Only then did I understand that a person's true character is revealed when he's in trouble."
"Miss Xiao is willing to let me work with her in making rouge and powder, and even take me in when Xiangcheng is in trouble. That's already good enough!" Jin Ruyu chuckled and said, "Besides, I'm already old, there's nothing I can't see through."
No matter what happens to the Xiao family, since Xiao Jiuyue can return to Shengjing, it means that things are not that bad. To put it another way, even if Xiao Jiuyue can't go back, he will still be a civilian!
"Manager Jin, it seems that my worries are unnecessary." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. She was worried that Jin Ruyu and she might break up because she was going back to Shengjing. It was rare to meet a good manager like Jin Ruyu.
"Miss Xiao, I came back from the provincial capital this time because I have something to discuss with you. I was thinking of building a rouge and powder workshop in Fu'an Village. There are many people in Fu'an Village, and there are guards, so it is safe." Jin Ruyu used to be in Xiangcheng, and she felt at ease because she had her own guard.
Now that she has come to Hongdu, Jin Ruyu's previous stock has gradually been used up. She built her own workshop in the county town, and she is worried that her property will be robbed.
"No problem. Fu'an Village is becoming more and more powerful now. There are several workshops. You can hire people to guard it and ensure safety." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled. As the base camp of the Xiao family, Fu'an Village is absolutely safe!
"Okay." Jin Ruyu did what he said and started building a workshop in Fu'an Village!
Spring has come, and the weather is still cold. There are still some radishes and cabbages in the fields. It's just right, and everyone has started the busy work before spring sowing.
"Miss Xiao!"
When Xiao Jiuyue brought Jin Ruyu back to the Xiao family, they met Xu Yang and the boss who were delivering goods. Since last winter, Xu Yang and the boss had delivered more goods, including many specialties such as dried black fungus, dried shiitake mushrooms, fish cakes, etc. Xiao Jiuyue developed new dishes and sent them all to Fengchunlou!
Xu Yang and the boss tasted the sweetness. They made fish balls with the fish they had just caught in the winter and sent them all over while the weather was cold.
"Shopkeeper Jin, what a coincidence." The eldest boss's eyes lit up when he saw Jin Ruyu. He said, "I thought Shopkeeper Jin was in the capital. It just so happens that I brought him some fish balls and some local specialties."
"Ah, no need." Jin Ruyu looked at the enthusiastic boss. She was in her thirties and was no longer a naive teenager who knew nothing. There must be a reason why the boss was so enthusiastic.
"Shopkeeper Jin, fish balls in hot pot are delicious." The eldest boss's eyes dimmed a little, and he actively recommended: "Miss Xiao also likes it. It's really delicious!"
"Thank you." Jin Ruyu responded to the boss's enthusiasm and said, "I still have some rouge and powder here. It's perfect. Take it back and give it to your wife."
"I don't have a wife." The eldest boss didn't notice the hidden meaning in Jin Ruyu's words at all. He said excitedly: "But I can buy one for my second brother's wife, my goddaughter."
"Second brother." The eldest boss looked at Xu Yang beside him and said, "Miss Xiao, at the end of last year, Xu Yang also married a beautiful wife. Unfortunately, she is pregnant and can't come. Otherwise, his wife would also come to see Miss Xiao!"
"If it weren't for Miss Xiao, we in Jiutouzhai would not have enough to eat and warm clothes to wear." The gratitude of the leader was visible to the naked eye.
"Boss, the people in your village have worked hard to make a living for themselves and support the entire village with their own diligent hands!" Xiao Jiuyue praised. If they were lazy and gluttonous, they would not be bothered to open their mouths even if food was fed to them!
"Hehe." The boss grinned happily when he was praised by Xiao Jiuyue.
Xu Yang is shy, but his eyes sparkle when he talks about his wife.
"Congratulations." Xiao Jiuyue said politely and asked how long they would stay in Hongdu this time.
"Miss Xiao, my brother and I are planning to buy some more things to take back. By the way, let's take some rice seeds back!" Xu Yang explained their purpose. "We also saved some rice seeds last year, but we were worried that they wouldn't grow well, so we came to Hongdu specifically to find Miss Xiao!"
Last year's grain harvest was a bumper one. Xu Yang and his companions wondered if they could get rice seeds from Xiao Jiuyue since they were in Hongdu. Perhaps they could even double the grain yield?
"Great, that's perfect. We're also preparing to pick seeds." Xiao Jiuyue was still very concerned about growing crops and said, "Are you planning to expand your planting this year?"
"Of course!" Xu Yang nodded repeatedly. "There are more people in our village now, and there's still a lot of wasteland. We must expand our cultivation."
The flood in Xiangcheng last year created a large number of refugees, which made Xu Yang realize that he had to grow more food. With food, he could fill his stomach and no longer be afraid of floods.
