Deng Jingu was slightly surprised and asked, "Why are you more optimistic about asparagus business? This is not as valuable as loach and eel. "
"It's because they are not as valuable as those two things that they can be sold better. Feeding them alone requires a lot of money, and they also need to be fed by the little fish every day. Now, the price of those little fish has gone up a lot, and even the Lin family doesn't want to do this business. Last year, I heard that in Miss Lin's sangtang, the crucian carp and the fish in their mouths were salted and transported to the government After the spring of this year, Mrs. Liu has reduced the purchase of baby fish. One is that the production is less, and the other is that the price has gone up a lot. "
Tan is very smart, Liu Sanniang and Lin Shunhe have been separated, he called her Mrs. Liu.
Deng Jin's proposal is more practical. One is that buying River land is far better than buying good land, and the cost is much less. Another is that his family has gradually added some good land over the years, with a total of more than 100 mu. In recent years, the weather has been good, and the price of grain is very low.
He thought that it would be better to feed ducks. At that time, he would be able to sell salted duck eggs, preserved eggs, and preserved duck.
He has a fixed source of customers, so he is not worried about keeping the goods in his hands.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to adopt Mr. Tan's suggestion.
"I'll go out in a moment. I'll walk around with the village heads and find out where there are ownerless beaches to buy. In addition, manager Tan, you'll go out with me tomorrow to meet the squires in other villages. I can't eat such a large amount of money."
What's more, his business focus will move to the capital, and he will surely live in the capital for a long time.
In this way, it is more appropriate to have a good relationship with the squires in my hometown.
Tan was overjoyed and asked, "does the master want to talk about cooperation with those squires?"
"Naturally." After discussing with them, Deng Jingu's mind was clear, and the more he said, the more lively he thought.
Not to mention how Deng Jingu was busy with these things.
In the twinkling of an eye, three days later, Lin Anxin had nothing to do after breakfast.
In addition, a large pot of red pomegranate flowers that she raised in the corridor opened, so she asked Tingquan to pick up a poem, and let Aiqing make a pot of hot tea and sit beside the pomegranate bonsai.
From time to time, turning to a page, I don't know what was written on it, which made her smile.
Ailian was peeling melon seeds for her. When she saw her, she asked her curiously, "girl, what are you laughing at? Let's hear it, and let the maidservant be happy with the girl."
Lin Anxin moved his eyes from the book to her, and with a smile, he pointed out his finger and gently touched the paper. He replied, "it just says here that" the durian flower in May shines on her eyes, and I see the beginning between the branches. "I think these two sentences are very suitable for the situation, and I think it's a coincidence that they just smile."
I see. Although Ailian understood what she said, she didn't understand what the two sentences combined meant.
I wanted to pester my own girl to talk about it in detail, but I didn't want to. Autumn moon, one of the big girls in front of Liu Sanniang, came.
Her arrival brought two news to Lin Anxin.
"Maidservant has seen a girl."
Lin Anxin motioned to her to get up, and pointed to the little girls behind her. She asked with a smile, "Qiuyue, where are you looking for someone, but my mother sees that I'm so idle that I've got grass on my head. She has got some people to train me?"
She thought that Liu Sanniang had helped her find some little girls with the talent of needlework.
But she didn't want to. Qiuyue replied with a smile: "it's really the meaning of the lady. However, the lady said that there are only three big girls around the girl, and they have to make up for each other."
But Lin Anxin didn't believe her. She said with a smile: "Qiuyue, you are getting more and more skinny. You dare to be careful in front of me. If you are careful, I will go to tell my mother. Well, I will punish you for not eating snacks for a month."
Qiuyue immediately cried with a pink face and said, "good girl, you'd better spare me. Sure enough, I'll tell you that this method can't coax me."
Lin Anxin gently picked her eyebrows and motioned her to go on.
It turned out that Liu Sanniang knew that Su junyang was the queen of Naping County, and she was worried all the time. The squire's wife invited her to go out to hang her horse. She also went away from time to time. Most of the squire's wives knew the reason, so they found an excuse to invite her out to relax.
Seeing that the day of leaving was not far away, Liu Sanniang couldn't hold back and told her troubles.
He didn't say Su junyang's plan or that he was going to leave Beijing in the near future. He just said how rich the noble people in the capital were and how big the sects were.
The squire's wife, who had seen these things, had to show off. Fortunately, she had a long face.
Love to show off the long face, Liu Sanniang also got what she wanted to know.
"Madam, when she heard about it, she said that it was the rich ladies and girls in the capital. Even the girl and the woman had to be divided into three, six and nine classes. She didn't want to go to the capital to make a joke and lost the face of the third young master. So she went to find a Carisolv to pick up a few girls without telling the girl, the eldest young master and the eldest young granny. She also said that she didn't want all of them, but only the girl and the eldest young granny Milk and her own side of the people have made up four, in addition, the wife also explained that the girl's side of the woman is too few, too wronged girl, let the girl choose a few moreAlthough Lin Anxin had never met the real nobles of the Zhou Dynasty, he only saw Lord Weisheng go to Shunshui village that day, and there were dozens of guards in front of and behind him. It's not hard to imagine how those noble ladies in the capital paid attention to ostentation.
After thinking about it, she asked Qiuyue to call those little girls over.
After Qiu Yue called the people over, she pointed to them and gave a rough introduction. The older ones were about 13 or 4 years old. They didn't sell in other families, but they had to be sold by their parents because of their difficulties. The younger ones were only 6 or 7 years old.
Lin Anxin thinks that the little girl is too small to do anything. She also thinks that Tingquan and Aiqing around her are one year older than herself, so she chooses a girl of the same age as Ailian.
Autumn Moon saw, slightly frown, worried that Lin Anxin don't understand these, busy way: "girl, why don't you choose a younger, or can follow the girl's age longer."
Lin Anxin said with a smile, "I'll make it up in the future. Now I need to be older, and my hands and feet will be more agile. In addition, listen to the spring, and then I'll choose four rough wives."
There are already two in her yard, plus the new four, it should be almost there.
"Why only four girls? No, I'm not going to pick a few. What my wife means is that we have to make up eight of them
Lin Anxin waved his hand and replied with a smile: "no, I'm going to take the Huang steward's wife and his family, as well as the guardians of the garden and the pool, plus four big girls and six rough envoys to the capital. It's enough to have these servants on hand."
Qiuyue knows how many people she is going to take with her. She thinks about it carefully. So many people are really enough. Besides, if there are too many people, I'm afraid the passenger ship rented by the young master will not be able to live.
She had a worry in her heart, even though her four girls only took these people, she just went to the lady's side to make it clear.
Lin Anxin named the new girl Tingyu, and then asked, Tingyu was the same age as Ailian, but it was just a month away.
Liu Sanniang has fewer people on hand. Aunt Du is still kept in the shop in the town as a shopkeeper. Liu Sanniang asks Lin Qingshan to help her watch more. She doesn't have much property. She thinks that she will come back after living for a few years, but she doesn't want to dispose of the property. She adds two more girls. She asks Qiuyue and learns that Lin Anxin's new girl is nine years old. Do you think so Think, then picked two ten years old or so of small wench.
They are named Qiuxiang and Qiushuang respectively.
There are four more concubines. Qiuyue takes the rest with her and goes to find Deng Jinchai. It means that the wife is in charge and asks her to add two more girls. As for the concubines, Qiuyue tells her that because the wife and the four girls are going to take the two concubines away from their yard, her husband asks her to add four more.
In addition, aunt Guo and aunt Hu, who were originally in lin'anxin courtyard, were to be taken to the capital. Therefore, their men could no longer stay in the front yard, and they also wanted to go to the capital with them.
Therefore, Liu Sanniang meant to let Deng Jinchai buy another two boys to stay in the front yard.
Deng Jinchai had no objection to this. She named her two new girls summer solstice and summer heat.
After choosing the girl and the woman, Qiuyue takes the money and the rest of the people to the town to settle accounts with the child.
It's only said that after the three women of the Lin family have each added a new girl, they have to train again.
Liu Sanniang and Deng Jinchai can't compare with Lin Anxin's girl.
Two people see Lin Anxin will train the little girl, mother-in-law thing to listen to spring, simply a head of also plug in the past.
Listen to Quan's important rules, teach these women and girls first, and then teach the rest slowly.
Fortunately, these girls and women have been trained a little. After listening to Quan take over, they won't feel too headache.
Women and girls are taught separately. They perform their own duties and have their own differences.
In this way, after a few days of training, the rules of these new girls and women are getting better and better.
On this day, Lin Anxin looked at the training girls of Tingquan in the open space of the back room. She felt quite interesting. Tingquan became more and more calm, and accumulated a little dignity in front of the new girls and women.
She nodded with a little satisfaction. If she wants to be the first-class steward in her yard in the future, she should have such a style.
The business of sangtang office was handed over to PI Zhuangtou, and an agreement was made that he and Lin Anxin would only report the expenses of the next year and some things that should be prepared when he sent the books and income to Beijing at the end of each year.
Lin Anxin is not afraid of him. There are old rules to follow. She doesn't plan to add more mulberry ponds for the time being. Then, the annual income of those two thousand mu mulberry ponds is not much different.
Shopkeeper Yan, it's a foregone conclusion. Every year we mainly collect silk. However, the busiest time is when silkworms cocoon and smoke silk.
Because of the connection with sangtang, both pizhuangtou and shopkeeper Yan will record how many kilos of cocoons they produce and how many kilos of plain silk they draw in the account books, not to mention her elder brother's help.
I won't worry that they will turn against each other.
It's rare for her to have a lot of leisure this year. She has nothing to do, so she has to teach the little embroidery girls to pass the time.
