There were rows of storage shelves against the wall inside the room, on which were placed white porcelain bottles, porcelain jars, pottery jars and other containers for honey of various sizes. Qiao Xin had collected these from various shops in Weizhou Prefecture with great effort.
If a product wants to sell well, packaging is of course indispensable. Glass is naturally the best choice for storing honey, but glass is a rare luxury nowadays!
Qiao Xin had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and wanted to buy some glass jars, but a jar that could hold just one liter cost ten taels of silver, and even then, there was no sufficient supply or unified products.
She was so angry that she wanted to ask the system for the formula and opened her own glass factory.
After careful consideration, Qiao Xin had no choice but to choose a white porcelain bottle to hold the honey. As for the honey for her family, any pottery jar would do.
After the honey is harvested, it is placed in a large wooden barrel. The half-man-high wooden barrel in front of him is already half full of honey. Qiao Xin washed her hands, put on a clean overalls, and then picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful and began to pour it into the porcelain bottle. The amber-colored sticky nectar instantly formed a thread and slowly entered the bottle.
One spoonful weighs exactly one pound, and Qiao Xin drank ten bottles in a row before stopping.
Li Zhong was so distressed that he kept crying, "Is this too much?"
"Not much. Three catties each for His Majesty and the King of Qi, two catties for the Emperor Cao, and two catties for Erlang himself. That's all for the ten catties. Don't just stare at what we send out. As long as they say something good about it, our goods will become famous in the capital. By then, don't even think about buying one catty with ten or eight taels."
Qiao Xin knows very well how efficient celebrities are in bringing goods. In this grand scene, who else can be more prestigious than the one on the dragon throne?
Qiao Yunqing said that Qiao Xin was not allowed to see him off, and Qiao Xin really didn't say anything polite. When he was leaving, the whole family was there, crying and reluctant to leave, but Qiao Xin was the only one missing. Li Zhong ran over breathlessly, carrying a basket on his back.
"Mr. Qiao, wait a minute." He took off the basket on his back and took out the porcelain bottle while muttering.
"Aunt Qiao is going to the mountain to choose a good place to build a pig pen. She asked me to come and bring you a message. Here are ten kilograms of honey from various flowers. You can keep two kilograms for yourself, give two kilograms to that angel, and three kilograms each to His Majesty and the King of Qi. Aunt Qiao also said that if you have anything to do, just send more messages home. She will not see you off!"
"Thank you, Village Chief!"
Qiao Yunqing took the basket, asked Shi Yazi to put it in the ox cart, turned around and knelt down facing the mountain to bid farewell to Qiao Xin.
No matter how sad Qiao Yunqing was, Qiao Xin couldn't feel it. She was sweating profusely under the scorching sun, searching the mountains and fields for a suitable location.
I kept wondering in my heart how she had fallen to such a state!
Why does it seem like nothing is getting done?
How could she bear so many things?
These days seemed to be getting further and further away from the leisurely farming life she had imagined! She had the beautiful scenery of "a river surrounds the fields with green, and two mountains open their doors to send green in", but she seemed to have never experienced the leisure of "the eldest son is hoeing beans on the east side of the stream, the middle son is weaving a chicken coop, and the youngest son is the most naughty, lying at the head of the stream and peeling lotus pods"!
Every time I open my eyes, I feel like a dog is chasing me from behind. I am busy from morning to night just for a bite of food!
This is no one else forcing himself to roll back.
Born to be hardworking!
Qiao Xin turned around Qingyang Academy and continued walking for more than a mile on the mountain road. His eyes lit up. What appeared in front of him was a large trapezoidal gentle slope.
The cool breeze blowing towards her made Qiao Xin extremely satisfied with this place.
Facing south, the light is good, the sun is sufficient, and the ventilation is good, so that the pig house is not prone to disease. Then build a circle of walls around the woodland, clean up the inside a little, throw the piglets in, let them run around happily during the day, and drive them into the pig house at night.
Every blade of grass and every tree in the forest can be used as pig food, so she can save food. The key is the pork that is eaten every day, which is mostly lean and less fat, and is Qiao Xin's favorite!
Qiao Xin's passionate eyes showed her satisfaction with this place!
But the difficulty of going down the mountain shattered her dream of raising pigs!
If you find a piece of land, you have to build a road. It's simply standard!
God must have sent her here to open up new land and build infrastructure!
Looking back, the piece of land on the left side of Qingyang Academy was not within the scope of her family's woodland!
So, the design drawings and the construction team are in place, but the land has not yet been approved? Well, I have to go to see Prefect Wu. I don't know if the last two hundred taels of silver in my hand can buy that piece of land?
Qiao Xin heard Qiao Silang's crying before she even entered the house. Her face changed and she kicked the door open! She saw several grandchildren surrounding Qiao Silang, looking at the person who broke into the house in astonishment. Those who heard the sound of the door breaking came out to check the situation.
Tears were still hanging on Qiao Silang's confused face, and he didn't know whether he should continue crying!
Qiao Xin realized that she had made a mistake. Seeing the broken door on the ground, she couldn't help but feel guilty. She touched her nose and explained, "It's okay, it's okay. You guys go and do your own things. I just heard Si Lang crying from a distance and I was a little anxious."
When Qiao Silang heard that Qiao Xin rushed in because of him, his tears started flowing again. Originally, they were a bit of a performance, but now they were all out of real grievance.
He pursed his lips and sniffed his nose, then reached out to Qiao Xin for a hug: "Ah, grandma, there are so many bugs!"
"Bugs, where did the bugs come from?" Qiao Xin was completely confused by the words that came out of nowhere. Qiao Silang buried his head in Qiao Xin's arms and refused to speak again.
