Chapter 54 Who dares to hold back?
"Yuer, mother doesn't want you to be too tired." Su looked at her with pity and heartache, saying, "These jewels are just worldly possessions. They are useless now. If I can help you a little, mother will be happy!"
Now, all the big and small matters of the Xiao family are handled by Xiao Jiuyue. Xiao Jiuyue also has to deal with those businessmen. Every time Su sees her coming back exhausted and busy every day, there is so little she can do!
Su only made shoes and a new coat for her, and went to the kitchen to cook some sweet soup for her!
In order to raise money today, Su went back to the house and started rummaging through the drawers and cabinets. After the house was searched, there were not many things left. Finally, she found some jewelry.
"Mom." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the jewelry in the dressing box. These were not cold jewelry at all; they were the love of the beautiful mother for her daughter!
"Your third aunt mentioned making embroidery today, and mother also wants to try it!" Su was eager to try. Her daughter could make money by doing business, so as a mother, she naturally could not fall behind.
"Mom, you make clothes, shoes and socks for us siblings. Your eyesight is already not good. You still want to do embroidery? No way." Xiao Jiuyue refused without thinking. The beautiful mother loved to cry, and her eyes were almost damaged by crying since the incident happened in the Xiao family.
Usually, Xiao Jiuyue tried her best to have someone look after her, and never let her handle the embroidery needle too much. If she really took the embroidery back to do it? I'm afraid she would even lose her eyes!
"Yuer." When Su saw that she disagreed, her beautiful eyes frowned.
Xiao Jiuyue held the beautiful mother's hand and said, "Mom, if you are busy with embroidery, you won't have time to make delicious food for me. Well, I signed an agreement with the candy shop today, and I have to make delicious food for them when the time comes. How about you help me think of some special desserts?"
"Candy shop?" Su looked at Xiao Jiuyue blankly. Didn't they make canned oranges? Why was there a candy shop?
After Xiao Jiuyue explained, Su immediately took charge of the matter and said, "Yuer, don't worry, mother is good at cooking. I will start making desserts tomorrow. There are so many delicious foods in Shengjing, I guarantee that Hong will not be able to eat them all."
Su was in a hurry and started thinking about making desserts as soon as she returned to the house.
Lianxin came to report: "Miss, the Third Madam, Aunt Lan and the Second Miss are here."
"Let them in." Xiao Jiuyue put away the box of jewelry given by her beautiful mother. Not to mention that she is not short of money now, even if she was short of money, she would not be willing to sell her mother's jewelry!
"Jiuyue." As Aunt Xiao San entered the room, she handed over the fifty taels of silver. The scattered silver coins and banknotes made the amount look particularly shabby.
In the past, she laughed at Aunt Lan for being a merchant's daughter and not being presentable. Now she realized that she was not even as good as a merchant's daughter and that her noble character was not enough to make a living!
"Aunt San, Aunt Lan, Yurong, please sit down."
Xiao Jiuyue asked them to sit down and took the silver from Aunt Xiao San. Xiao Yurong handed over the fifty-liang silver note and said, "This is from our second wife."
Originally, Xiao Yurong wanted to offer one hundred taels of silver, but was stopped by Aunt Lan. The third house offered fifty taels. If Xiao Yurong had offered one hundred taels, she would have directly surpassed the third house.
"In that case, your second and third wives will each contribute fifty taels of silver, and I will contribute one hundred taels of silver. Then the orange canning workshop will be built!" Xiao Jiuyue asked someone to prepare paper and pen, and directly wrote down the contract for the orange canning workshop.
The contract clearly states how much each of them will contribute, and in the future, whether they make a profit or a loss, it will be based on this ratio.
After signing and putting their fingerprints on the documents, everyone received a copy. Xiao Jiuyue's eyes fell on Aunt Lan's handwriting. The beautiful handwriting was pleasing to the eye. She asked, "Who among you is good at keeping accounts?"
Aunt Xiao refused directly and said, "I'm not good at keeping accounts."
"I have learned some basic skills from my parents before." Aunt Lan was extremely excited at the thought of becoming a part of the Xiao family. She finally didn't have to be so afraid to say a word as before.
Xiao Jiuyue handed two hundred taels of silver to Aunt Xiao San and said, "Aunt Xiao San will manage the money, and Aunt Lan will keep the accounts. Tomorrow morning, send fifty taels of silver to Shi Lizheng to set up the workshop and collect the capital for the oranges! Later, I will discuss with the Shi family and ask them to send someone to contact Aunt Lan every day."
"I, I'm just a concubine..." Concubine Lan was a little hesitant, wondering if her identity was not good enough.
Xiao Jiuyue: "Auntie is also a member of the Xiao family. If Auntie Lan doesn't want to..."
"I do." Aunt Lan answered quickly.
"We are all part of the Xiao family. If we do well with canned oranges, we can also make canned yellow peaches, canned pears, canned bayberries, etc. when the peaches are ripe next year. I hope that we can all work together to make money."
Xiao Jiuyue put on a serious expression and said, "Let me be frank with you. If anyone dares to have any messy thoughts and drags the Xiao family down, don't blame me for being ruthless." Xiao Jiuyue's voice was cold. She didn't want to focus on making money for everyone only to be bitten in the end.
Whether it was Aunt Xiao San, Aunt Lan or Xiao Yurong, they all repeatedly assured that they would not have any messy thoughts.
"Jiuyue, tomorrow I want to go out and visit the embroidery shop to see if I can find a job that can earn money." Since Aunt Xiao had decided to do it, she thought about not delaying and getting the embroidery back early to do so that she could earn some money in her free time.
Aunt Lan spoke cautiously: "Miss, I want to go and see it too."
Xiao Jiuyue pondered for a while before saying, "Tomorrow, I'll let Manager Jin escort you." She originally wanted to ask if she wanted to go with them, but then she thought, whether it was Aunt Xiao or Aunt Lan, they were no longer children, and she couldn't be the one to do everything for them.
After they left, she asked Lianxin to grind the ink. Since she took 30% of the candy shop's profits, she had to think carefully about how to market the candy shop in an all-round way!
There are endless marketing methods in the future, and the most important thing is how to pick out the method that suits you best.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Lian Xin was yawning and grinding ink. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue and wanted to speak several times, but seeing that Xiao Jiuyue was writing very seriously, she was afraid to disturb him.
"knock."
There was a knock on the door. Lian Xin was so excited that she sat up straight immediately. Under the flickering candlelight, Xiao Jiuyue was still writing. She said confusedly, "Miss, I think I heard a knock on the door."
"It's Manager Jin, please let him in." Xiao Jiuyue put down her pen and wrote down a few points about the candy shop's marketing plan, applying the opening promotions of later generations. This would not only make customers feel that they have gotten a bargain and benefited, but also allow the candy shop to attract popularity and make money!
"Miss." A chill emanated from Steward Jin. Xiao Jiuyue asked Lianxin to make some hot tea and said, "Steward Jin, you've worked so hard. Have a cup of hot tea. It's not too late to talk later."
