Gu Xinran was frightened by the scene. It felt like a big boss was entering the company and was being welcomed along the way.
Hehe said: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite, you are not the Princess of Qi yet, just call me as usual."
Grandma Gu came to the door and took her granddaughter's hand, her face smiling like a flower, "Ranran, you have brought honor to the Gu family. You are a great contributor to the family. Come to the table!"
Mother Gu looked at her daughter with satisfaction, then turned to the servants and said, "What a joyful occasion today! Everyone has a reward. Go get it from Butler Zhao."
The smiles on the faces of the people lining the aisle to welcome him became more sincere. After expressing their gratitude, they followed Butler Zhao out of the dining hall.
The whole family sat together, talking about today's grand event, with smiles on their faces.
Grandpa Gu was the happiest. "Ranran, this county lord is doing a great job. Now all the farms in Funing Town don't have to pay taxes. Haha..."
Xuanxuan also smiled. "Sister, you will be a county lady with your own territory in the future. That's amazing! When I have my day off, I will go on an inspection tour with you. The teacher said that we can't just study blindly, but should understand the people's feelings."
Gu Xinran smiled and touched his little head, "Sir, you are right. We welcome Xuanxuan to come to inspect our territory at any time."
The young scholar Xuanxuan smiled shyly, "It's not an inspection. I can only inspect after I become an official."
"Well, my Xuanxuan will sooner or later become a good official who petitions for the people."
Xuanxuan nodded heavily, "Well, I will try my best to be a useful person."
"Well, you are indeed my brother, you are really ambitious. Come, eat more and grow up quickly."
Gu Xinran treated everyone to delicious food and drinks, and then grandpa mentioned the things happening on the farm.
"Ran Ran, the dry land on Village No. 1 has been leveled. Have you prepared the potato seeds?"
"Grandpa, it's ready. We'll ship it over tomorrow. Ask Butler Zhao to hire some more cars, and I'll take you there to get it."
Grandpa Gu was relieved. This seed was a top priority. "Okay, but there's no need to hire a cart. There are so many ox carts in the farm. We can just run two more trips to finish it."
Grandpa Gu felt bad that he had to spend more money than earn on hiring people to do work these days, so he tried to save as much as possible.
Gu Xinran understood his grandfather's feelings and said, "Okay, it's all up to Grandpa."
Duan Yunchi was completely bewildered. It was still early in the season, and they were already starting spring planting! It seemed his cousin had quietly accomplished something significant.
He was unhappy that he didn't have good things to do, and said gloomily: "Ran Ran, what are potatoes? Isn't spring plowing still ten days away?"
Gu Xinran just remembered at this moment that she seemed to have never mentioned the matter of good seeds to Duan Yunchi, so she had to tell him about potatoes and good seeds again. She thought to herself, this is terrible, the mission of the space will be even heavier, it really has become a seed breeding base!
Duan Yunchi was unwilling to fall behind when he heard about such a good thing. "Ranran, you must give me some of this good stuff. Whether your uncle and the others can have enough to eat depends entirely on you!"
After receiving the compliment, Gu Xinran felt a sense of mission in her heart. She would never let anyone starve, but she would never let the most lovely person starve.
You must give, give more!
The cabbage she had tried to plant with space seeds has grown. Compared with those grown with ordinary seeds, it is much better. Not only does it grow well and have fewer pests, but its maturity period is also shortened a lot.
With this experiment, she became convinced that space has optimization functions.
Smiling, he replied, "Brother Yunchi, we are the closest. If I don't give it to others, I have to save it for you. Within half a month, I will collect at least 10,000 kilograms of various high-quality seeds for you."
Gu Xinran sighed, "Space baby, you really have a long way to go. The two acres of land for raising poultry can no longer be kept. Let's breed them first. Anyway, we will have enough meat to eat for a while."
Duan Yunchi got the answer he wanted and was overjoyed. "Ranran is so kind. I'll take care of the potato delivery tomorrow."
Then I started to eat seriously, but I always felt that I had forgotten something. When I was almost done eating, I finally remembered that I had not shown off the profits of the winery today!
He faked a cough twice, and when everyone looked at him, he started talking about the past again, "Ranran, you haven't guessed the winery's profit today. Let's guess boldly together. There will be prizes."
After saying that, he took out a hundred taels of silver and placed it on the table.
Seeing the rewards, the atmosphere at the table became lively, and Grandpa Gu and the others were much more supportive than Gu Xinran.
Grandma Gu was the first to speak: "Two thousand taels!"
Duan Yunchi smiled and shook his head, "Too little, I'm guessing too much."
Grandpa Gu's eyes sparkled, "Three thousand five hundred taels?"
Duan Yunchi continued to shake his head.
Mother Gu was a little surprised, "Could it be more than five thousand taels?"
Duan Yunchi still shook his head, "More than that, more than that, a bold guess."
Tingting followed and shouted, "Six thousand taels!"
Xuanxuan also joined in, "Twenty thousand taels?"
Duan Yunchi finally stopped shaking his head, stuffed a hundred-liang silver note into Xuanxuan's hand, and gave him a thumbs up.
He nodded with a smile, "Scholars are really good, almost. The membership fee plus the money from the wine sales totaled over 23,800 taels."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this figure. How could they make so much money in a day? This must be a dream.
Xuanxuan was just making it up just now. He spoke loudly to try to suppress his cousin's smug aura, but he didn't expect that he had underestimated him.
I felt so moved that my sister was truly an amazing person. The money she made in one day running the winery was more than others could earn in their entire lives.
Duan Yunchi was happy when he saw everyone's shocked expressions, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.
He thought to himself that this was a normal reaction. His cousin's calm expression was too abnormal. Maybe geniuses are different from others. Only a freak like Ran Ran could brew such an amazing wine.
Gu Xinran spoke slowly, calming everyone's excitement. "It's only been so popular on the first day. This wine isn't affordable for the average person. Many people only buy it once a month. Sales will definitely drop sharply after that."
Duan Yunchi knew this, but this huge success broke his record for making money in business and was worth remembering.
He smiled and said, "A decrease is inevitable. At least the number of people who subscribe to membership won't be as high as today. But the daily quota of alcohol is definitely not enough to sell. We closed in the afternoon today, and all 500 kilograms of various alcohols have been sold out. Many people still haven't bought any and have reserved for tomorrow."
He finished his last bite of rice and continued, "Ran Ran, I ordered another 5,000 kilograms of liquor today. Should we bring it to your house tomorrow, or brew it in the winery?
Alas, the winery has no guards, and these wines are too valuable, so we should bring them to your house, or I can ask the craftsmen to come and dig a large cellar in the backyard."
Gu Xinran didn't want the Gu Mansion to become a spirit wine production base, but this was the safest place at the moment. So let it be for now, she nodded in agreement.
After eating and drinking, everyone moved to the central hall.
In front of everyone, Duan Yunchi took out a bulging purse and handed it to Gu Xinran with a smile on his face, "Open it and take a look!"
