Chapter 500: The Cannon Fodder Cousin of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination Story (22) (Fourth update, please vote for me!)
The name of the mountain has been decided, and everything to be planted has been planned. It’s time to sow.
To plant flowers and grass on all four mountains, a lot of seeds are needed.
She called Xu Kui over and handed him two keys: "Xu Kui, this is the key to the warehouse in my parents' yard. You go back home and bring over a few sacks in the corner of the small warehouse. They contain this time Seeds to be planted.”
This was something she quietly arranged when she returned home during the Chinese New Year.
There are lavender flower seeds on one mountain top, rosemary flower seeds on one mountain top, and assorted flower seeds on two mountain tops, which add up to a lot.
At this moment, Xu Yin was extremely glad that she had a small world where her additional task was to plant flowers. Otherwise, how could she have produced so many flower seeds at once.
Go to the system to redeem it, it’s extremely expensive, and if you don’t drain all her energy points, it won’t be a system.
As for the flowers in the Garden of Cultivation World, although she has collected a lot of flower seeds, she has not yet figured out the specific effects of those flowers, so she would not dare to plant them on a large scale.
As for why she left the flower seeds in the house, she couldn't conjure up such big bags out of thin air.
Just in the main courtyard where my parents lived before their death, there was a large warehouse with three side rooms connected.
The key to the large warehouse was previously in charge of the mother-in-law next to the original mother. After checking the accounts and finding out the problem, the housekeeper collected the key and handed it over to her.
There is also an invisible cellar-like warehouse in the large warehouse, which contains extremely rare treasures.
The key to the small warehouse has always been kept by the original mother herself, but now it is kept by her.
Xu Kui lowered his head respectfully, took the key with both hands, and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, girl! I will definitely get things done. If you are there, the key is there!"
Xu Yin twitched the corner of her mouth: "It's not as serious as you said."
The large warehouse originally contained some cloth, medicinal materials, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other items commonly used for giving and returning gifts. After receiving the key in her hand, she took the maids to reorganize and make a book. At least one item could be found.
As for the treasures in the small warehouse, they are either boxes of gold and silver jewelry, unique calligraphy and paintings, or coral ornaments shipped from overseas and other rare treasures. They are all packed in strong and heavy mahogany boxes with double locks. .
One of them is the safety lock added by Xu Yin.
There is no key to open the box, and the thief has no way to start.
Because the entrance passage of the small warehouse is narrower than the width of the box, the entire box cannot be transported out at all.
By the time Xu Kui came back with a few sacks of flower seeds, the village chief had already hired people, and work could start as soon as the flower seeds arrived.
Xu Yin plans to plant the auxiliary spice flowers in Qiuxiang Mountain in person.
The flowers and plants on the other three hills had been planted before, and the hired hands who worked for her at that time knew how to plant them.
After Xu Yin asked Xu Kui to send the flower seeds, she didn't ask any more questions. She only told them one thing: when encountering an uncertain situation, take a few steps to ask her and don't make your own decisions.
Four hills are under construction at the same time, and busy people can be seen everywhere on the mountains.
Xu Yin took her maid and mother-in-law to finish planting in Qiuxiang Mountain and came to Xujia Village to cultivate the delicate flowers in the greenhouse.
At this time, Liulicang delivered the successfully fired distillation equipment, a few days later than expected, so when paying the bill, he took the initiative to wipe out zeros.
The errand boy also said enthusiastically: "Our shopkeeper said that if Miss Xu needs anything in the future, just come to Liulifang. Even if it is a style that we have never undertaken before, Liulifang will definitely find a way to bake it for her."
Thanks to Xu Yin, Liulicang's turnover last year broke the record of any previous year. The shopkeeper can laugh out of his dreams. How dare he neglect Xu Yin, a big customer? In addition to sending customized distillation equipment, he also sent extra A colorful glazed Guanyin Buddha statue by Xu Yin.
Xu Yin heard this and said with a smile: "This is how business is done. You should learn from it. From now on, our Xu family's fragrance shop business will be in your hands." When Xu Kui heard this, he was moved and wanted to give it to the girl. Kneel down and kowtow to express gratitude.
Xu Yin glared at him: "Have you seen any shopkeeper who always kneels and kowtows to others?"
“…” seems not to exist.
"So let me learn! Let's do this. From now on, you will be the shopkeeper of the two workshops of Xiangfangfang and Heniantang. The monthly salary will be set at thirty taels for the time being. If the management is in place, it will increase year by year. From now on, the workshop will recruit people. , hire people, it’s all up to you. Girl, I only need to see high-quality essential oils and high-concentration vodka, otherwise you can make up your mind, and you don’t need to inform me anymore. Unless you can’t decide something, you can come to me to discuss it.”
Xu Kui was a little dumbfounded: "It's so fast." He was not mentally prepared.
Xu Yin was just telling the maid and mother-in-law how to grow camellias and peonies, two delicate flowers. She was only halfway through the lecture, so she patted Xu Kui on the shoulder: "Do a good job! Girl, I like you very much!"
Then he continued to be busy.
Before Zi Yuan and Hong Qian left, they gave him a smile that couldn't help but smile, and said silently: Look after you!
Xu Kui: “…”
Since when did these two girls become so naughty?
Reaction: Oops, I’m the shopkeeper! He is also the shopkeeper of two workshops! Dad! Did you hear that? I became the shopkeeper!
I can't wait to fly back to the house and tell his father's good news. By the way, I would like to ask my father, I wonder if the ancestral tomb can be smoky? Otherwise, how could such a good thing happen to him!
The girl said that from now on, his monthly salary will be the same as that of the spice shop owner, starting from thirty taels and increasing year by year.
Thirty taels, much higher than his father’s monthly salary!
Xu Kui grinned so wide that he could hardly find his eyes.
After having fun, I devoted myself wholeheartedly to the operation of the two workshops, running before and after, not to mention working hard.
With such an old scalper... Oh, that's wrong. He is a capable subordinate who handles all the trivial matters in the workshop for her. Xu Yin only needs to plant flowers in the early stage and adjust the fragrance in the later stage.
After the high-strength vodka is brewed, she plans to teach Ziyuan and Hongqian how to make perfume.
Once the days get busy, time feels like it flies by very quickly.
In a blink of an eye, spring turns to summer, and flowers bloom all over the mountains and plains.
Vetiver, rose, jasmine, rosemary, lavender...are entering the flowering stage one after another.
The workers in the fragrance house work in two shifts, and the distillation equipment is shut down only every six days, and the workers are given a day off at the same time. The rest of the time it's been working.
He Niantang also hired experienced workers to open a brewery.
Xu Yin only worked as a remote technical consultant when she first started brewing vodka. She used distillation to distill an alcohol stock solution with an alcohol content of up to 96%, which was a good raw material for flavoring.
After the vodka trial was successful and Xu Kui mastered the vodka brewing technology, Xu Yin stopped asking.
As long as the vodka is in supply, the distillery can make other kinds of wine if they want. Xu Kui has full discretion as to what kind of wine he wants to make.
It is the end of spring, the results are published, and the next exam is about to take place among the scholars. Some are happy and some are worried.
Xu Kui accidentally took a batch of glutinous rice wine that He Niantang had brewed before and renamed it "Zhuangyuanhong", which was quite popular among scholars.
Xu Yin: “…”
He Niantang has withdrawn its tribute wine queue, but you still want to steal the business from Hualufang?
