Chapter 167 Jiang Youcheng's Versailles
"I sent Manager Wei to manage the Babao Shop here. Although Manager Wei is experienced and knows a lot about managing a shop, he is not from the county after all, so he is not sure about it. In addition, I also think that Madam Jiang's creative ideas will be more helpful to Babao Shop. So we discussed it and wanted to ask Madam Jiang to be a half-military advisor for our Babao Shop. If there is something occasionally, we can discuss it with Madam Jiang."
"Of course. We can't let Madam Jiang work for nothing. The Babaofang in this county will give Madam Jiang 30% of the profits as a reward."
Jiang Mixia understood everything.
Zheng Yuanhe wanted her to be a part-time consultant for Babaofang.
But since she was given a 30% profit all at once, the consultant's fee was really not low.
I think it is because the business of Babaofang in the city is booming, and the Zheng family wanted to reward her a little and use this as an excuse to give her continuous compensation.
Many times, knowledge and creativity can be rewarded handsomely!
Jiang Mixia felt at ease with such profits and did not refuse Zheng Yuanhe too much. However, he also expressed that he would do his best for Babaofang and would communicate with Manager Wei in time if he had any good ideas.
It was not the first time that Zheng Yuanhe knew that Jiang Mixia had a peculiar mind. He also felt that her abilities were far greater than he had imagined. Seeing that Jiang Mixia was willing to do this, he was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.
After talking about the Babaofang, Zheng Yuanhe chatted with Jiang Mixia about the bamboo weaving workshop.
All the goods sent to the provincial capital by Zheng's business in the county town have good sales in the provincial capital. Although it cannot be compared with the Zheng family's original grain and medicinal materials business, it is a long-term profit over the years and has become a considerable private fortune for Zheng Yuanhe personally.
Now it is autumn, and the bamboo weaving workshop is supposed to have entered the off-season, but Zheng Yuanhe's visit this time brought a considerable order to the workshop.
These are a batch of bamboo boxes for storing medicinal materials needed by Zheng Ji Medicinal Materials Store.
This batch of medicinal materials will be sent to the capital, so the quality requirements are extremely high, and the boxes for the medicinal materials have even higher requirements.
The box should be sturdy and waterproof, and the items inside should look delicate and attentive, reflecting the quality and texture of this batch of medicinal materials.
The craftsmanship of bamboo weaving workshops is now impeccable. Zheng Yuanhe just leaves the specific size and quantity required and weaves according to the requirements of the order.
It wasn't a particularly special order, so Jiang Mixia had someone write it down and put it into the daily tasks that needed to be done in the workshop.
Zheng Yuanhe left in the evening. Before leaving, he took away a lot of dried long beans, pickled chili beans, and fresh pickled cucumbers from Jiang Mixia's house.
Overjoyed.
Liu was very happy to see that someone appreciated the dried vegetables she had picked up. When she helped Jiang Mixia pack up the things Zheng Yuanhe brought, she couldn't help but praise, "This shopkeeper Zheng is a really good person."
Without waiting for Jiang Mixia to reply, Jiang Youcheng snorted, saying impatiently, "It's OK, just so-so."
"He is a little short and fat. Looking at the shoes he wears, he probably has flat feet. As for business, he is not outstanding. He is still far behind Xiao Xia and Jing Yun."
"By the way, I noticed that the left cuff of his sleeve was frayed, with the threads showing. I guess he doesn't really care about what he wears. He's doing business out there, meeting people all the time, and yet he doesn't even care about what he wears..."
Jiang Youcheng talked on and on for a long time in one breath.
And listen to the tone full of anger.
Liu and Jiang Mixia looked at each other in bewilderment.
What happened to your dad?
Liu asked with her eyes.
I don’t know…
Jiang Mixia shrugged.
If she remembered correctly, Jiang Youcheng had once praised Manager Zheng for his righteousness, and when he just left, he also said that the Zheng family was very generous. Why was he picking out a bunch of faults against Manager Zheng now?
And he observed so carefully.
Is Jiang Youcheng usually so careful? Jiang Mixia raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"Mom, what are these?" Song Jingyun was also helping to put things into the house. Looking at a basket piled in the house with a piece of cloth on top, he asked, "Should we move it somewhere else?"
"Just leave it there. There are needles in it. Be careful not to prick your hands." Liu replied, "It's getting cold now. I wanted to make a jacket for your father, but I haven't had time to do it these days. I've only finished half of it. Wait for me to finish it in a few days."
"Oh, isn't it said that sewing is very demanding on the eyes? You can just go to the cloth shop in town or the county and buy ready-made clothes. Why are you making clothes again?"
Jiang Youcheng raised his eyebrows and complained, "It's fine to make this one for me, but you can't make clothes for Xiaoxia and Jingyun anymore. You're so old now, if your eyes get damaged, it won't be easy to cure."
"Look at you, you're nagging again. I haven't done any needlework in more than two months. I just wanted to do some work, but you start nagging me."
Liu was a little annoyed by Jiang Youcheng's words, "Xiao Xia and Jing Yun are always going to the county town now. I am not good at sewing, so I just let them go to the county town to buy clothes. I don't plan to make clothes for them anymore."
That means his jacket is unique?
Jiang Youcheng was delighted in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said, "Okay, just do this one thing, and don't do it again in the future."
"I know." Liu replied unhappily.
Jiang Mixia, "..."
I haven’t had dinner yet, but I suddenly feel a little full.
Showing affection is not terrible, the most terrible thing is that they are quarreling on the surface, but in fact they are all Versailles, or even feeding dog food to others indiscriminately! ——Zheng Yuanhe sent all kinds of mooncakes, and ate them until August 15th.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the results of the college entrance examination were announced.
Song Jingyun's name was on the list, and he was once again at the top of the list.
Song Jingyun won the first place three times in a row in the county examination, prefectural examination and imperial examination, and was awarded the so-called "Little Three Yuans", and he also became a real scholar.
"First Place in the Case", "Three Small Prizes"...
With such a reputation, Song Jingyun became the subject of gossip among scholars throughout Fengyang County. Some even wondered what kind of person Song Jingyun was.
But what surprised everyone even more was the other people who passed the examination and became scholars.
In each annual examination, the number of scholars admitted in the entire province was no more than 20 to 30. If distributed among the counties, there were only three or four in each county. Among the scholars who passed the examination this time, eight scholars from Fengyang County were on the list, making it the county with the most scholars in the examination.
The other seven scholars, like Song Jingyun, the top candidate, all came from Hongle Academy!
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~ (End of this chapter)
