Chapter 103: Planning in Advance
"How was it? Did you sleep well last night?" After the village elders and women left, Su Ying saw Hu Erlang wandering around aimlessly.
The whole village was busy, but the idle Mr. Hu stood out from the crowd and was unique.
"It's okay! It's quite quiet!" Hu Erlang felt refreshed.
The air here is fresh, quiet and secluded. If carriages could pass through, we could build a villa and plant flowers and plants. Not to mention Mr. Wu Liu, he would also like to come and stay here occasionally.
Su Ying smiled and said nothing.
Atang has been very quiet these past few days, coming and going quietly. It's a rare quiet night, which is naturally great.
If he were to make as much noise as he did on the first few nights, Hu Erlang would probably suffer from neurasthenia and wouldn't be able to sleep all night.
"What are you laughing at?" Hu Erlang looked at Su Ying in confusion.
"Nothing to laugh at!" Su Ying shook her head. "Let's go and see if the vermicelli is dry. I'll pack it up for you."
Across the street was the village chief's land, and the whole family, young and old, were working there, including Gao.
"Grandma, I'm going to your house to collect vermicelli." Su Ying said to Gao.
"Go, Huzi, go and help the girl!" Gao stood up and patted her waist.
The Su family cultivated the land meticulously, and the Yang family followed suit, picking up stones and branches from the ground.
"Okay!" Hu Zi came out from the ground, "Girl, follow me!"
Back in the yard, the two kinds of vermicelli on the bamboo poles were blown very dry. They were taken down and divided into bunches and tied with twine.
"When you go back, remember to put them in gift boxes or beautiful bamboo baskets, decorate them to make them look more precious, and don't put too much in each portion, so that it looks more precious."
Su Ying spread a thick layer of hemp leaves in the backpack and put the bundled vermicelli in it.
Well, there's a lot of bamboo here, and it should be packaged after production, but...
"Oh, by the way, let's give this vermicelli a name, 'Wuxian Bajia Vermicelli'!" Su Ying said.
"Why is it called 'Bajia Vermicelli'?" Hu Erlang was confused.
"Because there are seven surnames in Huanggou Village, plus yours, doesn't that make exactly eight families?" Su Ying smiled.
"If we want to establish ourselves in Chang'an in the future, we should choose 'Bajia' instead of 'Huji'. It's a grand and unique name that people will remember immediately, and the people there will be more willing to help!"
"You think long-term and comprehensively!" Hu Erlang suddenly realized.
This product was developed with the efforts of the entire village, and it was named "Hu Ji". The villagers were unhappy about it. Who would be willing to have their child be someone else's?
However, the Hu family is needed to complete the sales process, and the Hu family has also invested. In fact, the Hu family has contributed the most.
It is not appropriate to name either side, so it is better not to name it at all. Just name it according to the total, so that everyone has a share and no one is left out.
"You have to go back and prepare all the materials needed for packaging. There is nothing here. The follow-up depends mainly on you!" Su Ying spread her hands towards Hu Erlang.
"Let's arrange it this way for now. We'll settle with you based on the factory price of the vermicelli noodles. The profits from selling them outside are all yours and have nothing to do with the village.
As for the production side, if you produced the iron pot and filter, they would naturally be counted as one."
"That's right, girl!" Hu Erlang had no objection, and Su Ying's suggestion was very appropriate.
The exquisite and luxurious packaging of vermicelli highlights its preciousness.
Without packaging, they would look cheap just in handfuls. Besides the value of the product itself, packaging is also an important part.
Su Ying removed the gauze and saw that the sour jujube cake was dried perfectly, not dry, not hard, and not sticky.
I cut off a small piece and tasted it. It was moderately sweet and sour, chewy, and had a little crunchy chestnut aroma. It tasted much better than the one I made that day.
"Wow, girl, this is called sour jujube cake?" Hu Zi had never eaten such sweets before, and he felt extremely happy.
"Yes! There aren't many sour dates or honey this year, so we can't make much.
When we have mastered beekeeping, we can make a lot of sour jujube cakes. Besides selling them, you can also eat as much as you want! "
Su Ying cut the sour jujube cake into slices, rolled it into strips, and made sour jujube rolls, which she put into a bamboo tube.
Alas, without candy wrappers, it’s difficult to package, so I can only make sour jujube rolls.
"Girl, I want to tell you something!" Hu Zi moved closer to Su Ying, thinking of the sneaky Xiao Qin and Su He.
"What's the matter? Why are you so mysterious?" Su Ying laughed.
"Girl, you have to pay attention to that girl in your family!" Hu Zi said seriously, "She got her lips burned that day!"
Hu Zi recounted in detail the scene he saw when he placed the beehive.
Xiao Qinshi and Su He were making trouble, especially Su He, who not only snatched the honey to drink but also spit in it. Hu Zi was very angry.
My grandmother treasures the honey very much and is reluctant to use it easily.
But she was humiliated by Su He. Hu Zi wanted to go up and give Su He two slaps in the face and then kick her hard. It made him so angry.
Hu Zi doesn't like Xiao Qin and Su He at all.
When placing the beehive, the mother and daughter laughed maliciously. Hu Zi had a feeling that these two people were not holding their fart well!
"Don't worry, we won't let them succeed! If they dare to sabotage it, they will become enemies of the entire village, and no one in the village will agree!" Su Ying patted Hu Zi, "Thank you for your reminder!"
"Is it the girl from your second uncle's family?" Hu Erlang thought of Su He who interrupted him several times.
"Yes, it's her. She's not very smart, and it's gotten worse after being exiled here. My dear, try to avoid her if you see her!" Su Ying said half-truthfully.
Family disgrace should not be made public. Speaking too badly of Su He will affect the reputation of the Su brothers and sisters.
If I don't mention it, I'm afraid that Hu Erlang will get into trouble one day. It's too unkind and he will definitely repay kindness with enmity.
Hu Erlang, like his brothers, is an upright and honest young gentleman. How could he allow such a troublemaker to bring disaster to his family?
"I saved it!" Hu Erlang nodded.
I seldom interact with girls, and I only see my sisters at home often.
The reason for my close relationship with Su Ying is because of Jiang Dongli and the unexpected business. In the past two days, I have been exposed to many things that are not in the books, which has broadened my horizons.
This girl is quite interesting, with many advanced thoughts and ideas.
"Do you have any capable manager under you?" Su Ying asked.
Hu Erlang was a scholar who wanted to take the imperial examination and pursue a career in officialdom.
It is certain that you need to make friends with all kinds of people and open up business links, but it is impossible to do the specific implementation such as stocking, transportation, opening a store, etc. by yourself.
There must be a capable assistant to organize and implement the plan, otherwise Hu Erlang would not need to study and could just roll up his sleeves and do it himself.
Of the Hu family's business team, Su Ying had only met Manager Zhu and Mr. Mo, the accountant in the county town.
"Capable? If we talk about capable people, it should be Manager Liu from the provincial government! This time, I will go there and discuss things with him!" Hu Erlang said.
Business is not good and we can’t afford to hire capable people.
Shopkeeper Liu is from the provincial capital. He is diligent and conscientious, and the grocery store in the provincial capital is the most profitable among its several branches.
The grocery store has been able to survive for so long mainly due to the financial support from Manager Liu's store, who is Hu Erlang's most capable subordinate.
"Well, we will also have honey, tea oil and various cooking oils in the future, so we have to think carefully and plan ahead.
Otherwise, when it is fully implemented, it will become a chaotic mess.”
