Jiang Tuantuan felt very relieved to hear the man say this. She had heard the old woman complain before that her son was good in every way except that he was a little too anxious, eager to make money and gain fame as soon as possible.
It would be great if he could figure it out now. Jiang Tuantuan agreed to let him be the shopkeeper, with a monthly salary of three taels of silver.
However, there was one requirement, which was a seven-day trial period, but they would also pay, eighty cents a day.
The man immediately agreed excitedly and promised that he would do his best and would definitely pass the probation period.
His mother named him Lin Ping because she hoped he would live a peaceful life.
After Lin Ping left, Jiang Tuantuan said to Er Liu, "I agreed to let him come, but it's a seven-day trial. We'll see how he performs during these seven days. Can Jiang Wei Lou be left to Er Ji alone now?"
Er Liu said, "There are too many customers. Er Ji can't handle it all by himself, but he is now capable of being a good shopkeeper."
Jiang Tuantuan thought about it and decided that Jiangyue Pavilion still needed Erliu and the men to work for seven days. Jiangweilou had already been bought and the second floor needed to be renovated, so Jiangweilou should be closed for seven days!
This is the only way for now.
People who often come to Jiangweilou for dinner were very disappointed after hearing the news. Why is it closed for seven days? What are they going to eat during these seven days?
Jiang Tuantuan went to a second-hand store to buy tables and chairs, while Erji brought two chefs to clean the second floor. The second floor was very spacious and could seat ten more people than the first floor.
On the first day of closing, Mai Wu came with Ertou to deliver goods, only to find that the store was closed. Out of curiosity, he walked to the backyard and found out that it was going to be renovated.
Jiang Tuantuan saw the two of them and said, "We made a sudden decision to close the shop yesterday and didn't have time to tell you. I'll send the food in seven days."
"good."
Looking at Ertou, Jiang Tuantuan suddenly thought that it would be better to transfer Ertou over to Jiangweilou to help.
Mai Wu said that he and Datou could handle the farm alone, as there was very little land to farm and they usually raised chickens and cows.
Now we have enough manpower, perfect!
Just waiting for the renovation to be completed and opened.
At this time, Er Laizi also arrived. Seeing that everyone was there, Er Laizi smiled and said, "Boss, it's time to harvest the fields!"
The autumn harvest is finally here. The progress of Jiangweilou has been handed over to Erji, and Jiang Tuantuan has followed Erlaizi.
On the way, Jiang Tuantuan asked, "How was the harvest?"
The second beggar said, "The good ones are especially good, and the bad ones are especially bad."
Hearing him say that, my curiosity was really piqued.
When they arrived at the fields, they found that it was exactly as Er Laizi had said. Because Er Laizi had been given several different kinds of wheat seeds to plant, the harvest would be very different.
The best wheat harvest can produce five stones per acre, the poorest one can only produce two stones, and ordinary seeds can produce three stones.
Jiang Tuantuan said to Erlaizi, "Those with low yields should be discarded. Keep the seeds with high yields and continue planting them. Increase the yield of wheat seeds as much as possible. Only when everyone is well fed can we focus on doing other things."
"Okay!"
Because the high-yield wheat was only planted on ten acres of land, I kept all of it for seeds, kept some of the rest for my own consumption, and planned to sell it all.
After checking on the wheat, I went to check on the ginger. This time, I planted a lot of ginger and sweet potatoes. Looking at so much ginger, it would be difficult to sell it myself. The most important thing is that there is no market for it. It would be better to sell it to Mr. Zhou at a low price.
With this idea in mind, Jiang Tuantuan came to Zhou's house. Erjin warmly welcomed Jiang Tuantuan in. This time, without Mr. Zhou saying anything, Erjin took the initiative to serve her tea.
This change seemed to have started after she became a princess. Before that, Er Jin would only take the initiative to serve tea after Master Zhou gave the order.
After seeing this clearly, Jiang Tuantuan just smiled faintly and said thank you to Erjin.
Er Jin said, "Please wait a moment, Princess. The master is discussing something with a friend in the study. I have just gone to report to him and he will be out soon."
"Okay, no rush."
The sound of two people arguing came from the study. Mr. Zhou wanted to buy ginger from him according to the annual price, but when it came to paying, he suddenly raised the price. This made him very angry, and nothing he said was of any use. People in other places were still anxiously waiting for him to deliver the ginger, otherwise they would have to pay a large sum of money.
The man calculated this and suddenly raised the price, because he was the only one who could produce so much ginger at once.
Faced with such a treacherous friend, Mr. Zhou directly asked him to leave.
Afterwards, Master Zhou came out of the study and said with a hint of satisfaction, "A friend came over just now, and I had to deal with some things, which delayed me. I'm sorry to have kept the princess waiting for so long."
"Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. From now on, please call me Madam Jiang as before. The term 'Princess' sounds very strange to me."
"Okay, then you can still call me Madam Jiang."
"In order not to waste time, I'll just say it straight. I heard that Mr. Zhou is also selling ginger. I just happen to have a batch here. They are all grown by myself. The quality is definitely better than the ginger on the market. I wonder if Mr. Zhou will still buy it."
Just when he was worried about ginger, Jiang Tuantuan said that he had a batch of ginger, which made Mr. Zhou very happy.
He immediately said, "I'll take it. I wonder how much Mrs. Jiang has?"
Jiang Tuantuan thought for a moment and said, "I have five mu of land planted in total. I haven't measured the ginger yield per mu yet, but it must be quite a lot."
Five acres of land is a little short. He needs at least six acres of ginger. But it doesn’t matter if it’s a little short. He can find a way to buy some from the grain store.
So he asked Mrs. Jiang how much she planned to sell it for per pound.
Jiang Tuantuan said, "We've known each other for so many years and have always had business dealings. Let's just go with Mr. Zhou's usual purchase price. I believe Mr. Zhou won't cheat me."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhou told Jiang Tuantuan the price he had originally set, and she immediately agreed.
"Since the price has been set, and it's still early today, why don't you come with me, Mr. Zhou, to check out the quality of the ginger and see how many kilograms it is?"
"no problem!"
The two of them took a carriage to the fields outside the city. As they walked up the mountainside, they heard the sound of cows mooing. They asked curiously, "Mrs. Jiang, I think I heard a cow mooing, or did I hear it wrong?"
"You heard right, this is the cow I raise."
Mr. Zhou was shocked. Judging from the sound, she must have raised quite a few cows. He thought to himself, it seems I have to look upon her with more respect in the future. It must be a lot of money to be able to buy so many cows.
As he was thinking, he came to the place where ginger was planted. Er Laizi was harvesting ginger.
Seeing the people coming, he picked up two pieces of ginger and handed them to Jiang Tuan Tuan and Mr. Zhou respectively. "This is freshly harvested from the fields. I haven't eaten ginger much and don't know much about it, but from the looks of it, this ginger seems to be better than ordinary ones and more tender."
