Chapter 871 Jiayi is the best scapegoat!
There are some shelves placed around the wall. There are only two levels. The height is just right and they are easy to access.
In the middle of the room, there is a wooden lattice like a booth. Rattan baskets are placed in the wooden lattice, which is clean and breathable.
At the foot of the booth, various rattan baskets of different sizes were placed, which were very delicate and ready to be used when selecting fruits and vegetables for guests.
After making a selection, guests can go to the long counter on the right, settle accounts, repackage, and leave through the new door on the right.
The whole shop is clean, warm and bright, with orderly entry and exit.
Such a design was a routine operation in the previous life, and what was ordinary can no longer be ordinary.
But in Tianwu, it is definitely the first one.
In my impression, places selling vegetables and fruits are all markets, with sewage all over the place and shouting and noise everywhere.
I am half frozen to death in winter, and dizzy from the sun in summer.
Let alone the masters of the houses, even the maids and women with a little bit of respect are unwilling to buy vegetables.
But this new fruit and vegetable shop in Jiayin is completely different. It is cleaner than the jewelry store and the cloth shop.
It can be foreseen that business after opening will definitely not go wrong!
After looking around, Jiayin was very satisfied. Holding the hot tea handed over by Shuiling, she told Guli, "Burn the earth dragon in the afternoon and see if there is any smoke.
“Choose a careful hand to light the fire, because it is difficult to control the heat and cold in the house.
“When it’s cold, vegetables and fruits are easily damaged by freezing. When it’s hot, vegetables and fruits will wilt and look stale.”
Guli responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Princess, our manpower is all from Suijintan. They are very diligent and obedient. It's easy to find a reliable one."
Jiayin nodded.
She had talked to the village chief about the opening of these two shops.
In several places such as Xincun No. 2 Village and Dahuaishu Village, we found forty and a half boys and girls, all eleven or twelve years old.
There were ten fruit and vegetable shops among them.
Those who are sweet-mouthed and quick-witted stay in the front hall to entertain guests, while those who are honest and talkative guard the warehouse and do odd jobs in the back.
The remaining thirty men must be reserved for the restaurant next door.
Because there are two floors, there are many private rooms. If there are fewer people to serve, it will be easy to get confused and the guests will be neglected.
As for the managers of the fruit and vegetable shop and the restaurant, Jiayin asked his uncle for help and asked for two reliable stewards.
In fact, if there were no doubts about Gu Li's life experience, he would definitely be the first choice.
But, now I can only give up...
Guli didn't know that he had missed the opportunity to become a big shopkeeper. He turned around and put down the drawings in his hand, went to find the account book and briefly reported the recent expenses.
Jiayin saw that he had a lot of things and no servant to wait on him, so he said: "Tomorrow, someone will send you a crossbody bag. That one is more convenient for carrying things."
Guli was a little surprised, smiled and saluted and thanked him.
"I saw the eldest young master and the others carrying such a package. I recently wanted to find someone to sew one. Unexpectedly, the princess gave me a reward. Thank you very much, princess!"
Didn’t take the good news seriously and went to the restaurant next door to have a look. After giving Guli a few words, he took the car back to Suijintan.
The village chief was wandering around the entrance of the village holding a pipe and a pot. After finally expecting good news, he hurried forward to speak.
Jiayin jumped out of the car, comforted the old man for a few words, and then accompanied him to the greenhouse and chicken farm and pig house.
Since the greenhouse has no glass and poor lighting, it is not possible to grow cucumbers, eggplants, and beans, but cabbage, spinach, leeks, garlic sprouts, sprouted onions, etc. do grow well.
Moreover, the greenhouse area is large and the output is large.
At the chicken coop, the big roosters weigh about five or six pounds. The Northern Expeditionary Army returned before and killed a hundred or so, but now there are more than 200 left, which are reserved for gifts during the New Year, and each family is given a share.
The hens are very diligent. After adapting for more than half a month, they have begun to lay eggs seriously. They can always pick up a thousand eggs a day.
This number sounds like a lot, but in the huge Xindu, and in winter when there is a shortage of eggs, it is simply not enough to sell.
Fortunately, Dahuaishu and Da and Xiaowangzhuang also have chicken farms. In addition to supplying cyclamen, it is not difficult to distribute a thousand eggs to the fruit and vegetable shop.
The most surprising thing about Jiayin is the mushroom cellar. In order to store fruits and winter vegetables, the cellar was dug very big.
She just casually said that she would take soil from the mountains where mushrooms had grown and try watering it.
Unexpectedly, mushrooms are actually growing now, and the clumps are very fresh and pleasing to the eye!
If it is summer, this thing is common and not rare.
But it’s a snowy winter day now!
Pick a handful, fry the meat slices or make soup, the taste is very fresh...
Jiayin felt confident and planned to open the business.
The day after tomorrow happened to be a good day for opening a business. She waved her hand and sent a message to the city, and she made such a happy decision.
At dinner time, the villagers learned that Mrs. Li and others had gone south by boat.
Although it feels sudden, everyone has heard that Sister-in-law Liu was going to the south to arrange marriage for Liu Yang.
Jiayi is about the same age as Liu Yang. Maybe the Li family was anxious to show him a girl, so they went to the south for a walk and checked on Jiayi along the way. This makes sense.
So, the villagers made a few comments and stopped paying attention.
After all, there is still a princess in charge of the village, and the Marquis has also returned.
Uncle Li, Li Laosi, Mr. Wen and even Mr. and Mrs. Jiaren are also here.
Not to mention that life in the village is prosperous and peaceful, even if the sky falls, there are still so many tall people to support it...
At this time, many people in Xindu also knew that the old, weak, women and children of the Li family were heading south collectively.
There were rumors that Jiayi was going to marry an orphan girl, so everyone started to speculate on this matter.
“Oh, the Li family must have disagreed with taking such a granddaughter-in-law, so they went to beat the couple!”
“I guess so, but we don’t need so many people to go there together. Could it be the young general of the Li family who caused trouble?”
“Getting into trouble, you mean...let the girl get the hang of it and have to marry her?”
“Hey, you can’t say for sure. Young people are so impulsive, especially this little general from the Li family, who kicked his uncle to death before!”
“Having too many children is a debt! I used to say that the Li family is so blessed to have many children and grandchildren... Now it seems that having too many children is a lot of trouble!”
"you do not say!"
Everyone was talking a lot, and they were very excited after seeing the Li family's joke.
But there are also smart people who think completely different.
In a large hall somewhere deep in the palace, green smoke curled up and the candlelight dimmed.
An old **** reported in a low voice: "Master, the young and old of the Li family suddenly left without any warning at all.
"The place at Broken Gold Beach is very well guarded... I am guilty and have failed my master."
After a long while, the old woman's voice replied: "Well, they are walking fast, a useless family, but their noses are very sensitive, and they can smell something unusual and run away before they can take action.
“Fortunately, the little girl is still there and nothing will happen to her.”
The old **** Xu was a little unwilling and asked: "Master, do you want to find an excuse to bring the Li family back?"
