Song Qiu came in and answered with a smile, "Uncle and aunt are back, is this dish to your liking?"
"This is not the first time I have tasted it. The two spices that A Qiu gave me last time were also used in the kitchen of the house to cook for us. However, A Qiu's craftsmanship is unmatched by others. This boiled dish
The fish is worthy of its popularity, it is indeed full of flavor." Mrs. Fan said.
"Since my aunt likes the taste, I will be filial to you. I will pack some bean paste and dried chili for my aunt to take away later."
When Mrs. Fan heard this, she took advantage of the situation and said: "I have the same intention today. This thing is rare and the cooking is excellent. I don't ask you to give it away all the time. This is inappropriate. You also put in the effort to make it.
I’ll buy it at the price, and I’ll tell you what it’s like when you sell it to someone else.”
"However, I plan to buy a little more and send it to the capital. I wonder, Aqiu, you might have more here?"
She had already heard from her niece that the boss of Hao You Lai wanted to talk about the business, but Song Qiu refused because he didn't have much stuff and couldn't evenly distribute it.
Song Qiu heard that she wanted to buy more and send them to the capital, thinking that they should be given to the son who was an official in the capital. Of course, this could be balanced.
He said sweetly: "How can you smooth it out naturally? I wonder how much your aunt wants?"
Mrs. Fan was happy to hear this and was not polite, "How about giving me ten jars of the jars last time? As for the dried chili peppers, twenty kilograms will do?"
It wasn't much. Song Qiu nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll prepare it for my aunt later."
Mrs. Shen was busy joining in the fun, "Can't we just sell it to my aunt? I plan to buy some too. Can Aqiu Yeyun sell me ten jars of bean paste and twenty kilograms of dried chili peppers?"
Of course, one cannot favor one over the other. Song Qiu nodded in agreement.
Only then did we serve a few people to eat, but it got cold after a while.
The snacks were presented again. Song Zhenzhen, who was already full, couldn't help but stretch out her hand when she saw that there were snacks that had not been eaten before.
The Shen family also tasted it.
After the meal, the bowls and chopsticks were removed, and hot tea was served.
After sitting and talking for a while, Mrs. Fan asked Song Qiu how to make the pair of skin milk just now. She loved the taste, and so did her husband. It would be great if she could eat it every day when she got home.
Song Qiu did not hide his secrets and explained the method. It was very simple and the maid who followed him memorized it.
It's not difficult to make mashed red beans and chopped peanuts, it's just jam.
Song Qiu said hurriedly: "I didn't make much mulberry jam last time. I just planned to make other jams. When I finish it, I will send some to my aunt and sister-in-law."
Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Shen both nodded.
After saying good things, it was almost time, and Shen and the others should rush back to the town.
Song Qiu had just ordered the Wangs to put the bean paste into jars and divide it up. Now, all they had to do was carry it to the carriage.
Shen didn't count, but saw that there were more than twenty altars put on his carriage, and then looked at Song Qiu.
Song Qiu said with a smile: "My aunt and sister-in-law are taking care of my business. I am naturally happy. The business is done, so the gift that should be given cannot be less. The extra five jars are from me. My aunt and sister-in-law also invited me."
It’s better to accept it with a smile.”
Mrs. Fan liked that this little girl was very decent in her work, knew how to come and be polite, and she would have to move around a lot in this relationship, so she remembered it.
Now let the mother-in-law who came with you pay the bill.
It's a gift, and Song Qiu is hosting this meal, so I only need to count the bean paste and dried chili.
The last time I sold it to Mr. Fang, he raised the price himself. The dried chili peppers were two hundred cents per catty, and the bean paste was eight hundred cents per jar.
Of course, giving this place to the Shen family cannot be based on that calculation.
Song Qiu even set the first price, fifty cents per catty and four hundred cents per jar.
Here, they have twenty jars of bean paste and twenty kilograms of dried chili peppers. They are the same in every house, and they cost nine taels each.
Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Fan both gave them one ingot of ten taels of silver on the grounds that they didn't have any scraps of silver, and they didn't ask Song Qiu to make up for it.
Song Qiu couldn't refuse, so he accepted it with a smile.
After receiving twenty taels of money at once, Song Qiu sent Shen and his party away.
When I came back, most of the guests in the inn had left, and there was no one left.
After Wang was asked to prepare his own lunch, Song Qiu called Tao Zheng to take the account and take stock.
Du Chuanfu was originally the one who kept the ledger, but Du Chuanfu often went out with Song Qiu. In addition, Tao Zheng knew more words than Du Chuanfu and was also a good bookkeeper, so Du Chuanfu told Song Qiu and simply handed over the ledger.
he.
From now on, Tao Zheng's behavior as the shopkeeper was revealed.
In these days, Song Qiu also saw Tao Zheng's ability. He was worthy of being a manager, and his ability to do things was indeed good.
So he accepted that Tao Zheng was the shopkeeper of the inn, and Du Chuanfu was working under him, so he still had to follow her around most of the time.
This way the division of labor is clear and better.
The last accounting was ten days ago, which was less than a month ago.
But Song Qiu was anxious to see how much money was in the account so that he could make arrangements for the farm.
Tao Zheng had taken over the account book for more than ten days, and he was familiar with the accounts of these ten days, so he immediately reported the accounts neatly.
The accounts of the tea shed and the inn were all owned by Tao Zhengluo. Yuan Hua would hand over his income every day and settle the accounts after work.
In these ten days, the total income in the two accounts was thirty-seven taels and eighty cents.
On average, I have an income of more than three taels per day.
The expenses for purchasing ingredients at the inn and tea shed, as well as the vegetables and grain for the daily meal at the workshop, totaled eleven taels and thirty Wen in these ten days.
If you sell this, you will make a profit of twenty-five taels and fifty cents.
So there are more than twenty-five taels of silver in the account now.
After hearing the report, Song Qiu asked Tao Zheng to give her twenty taels first, leaving more than five taels for the turnover to buy ingredients.
The twenty taels plus the twenty taels just now were actually enough to return to Song Wenzhi.
But Song Qiu planned to buy someone to arrange the farm affairs first, and Song Wenzhi had no choice but to wait another half month.
Counting the days, it’s time to pay wages again.
It really costs money everywhere.
Song Qiu sighed, thinking about Fucheng, why has there been no movement for so long?
This repeat customer will be lost if it fails?
But it doesn't make sense that Mr. Fang is here and he is not here, right?
Song Qiu was thinking about where to give her some money, but coincidentally, he went to town with Du Chuanfu the next day and met an acquaintance, Mr. Lu.
At that time, Song Qiu couldn't help but sigh, someone would give him a pillow when he fell asleep.
Now Song Qiu put away the money and got up to go back to the village.
The first batch of starch, which has been exposed to the sun for seven or eight days, has been shaped and dried, and can be bagged for storage.
The starch that was dried immediately afterward was half dry and could be harvested one after another.
Song Qiu thought that he could start making vermicelli when he came back from town tomorrow.
After looking around, I arrived at the front yard and saw Zhang Diguo peeking out.
I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, why is this person back today?
She didn't agree to do business with your boss and left first, but this sweet potato didn't come out with her.
I wonder what the two of them said?
This guy is really diligent in coming back.
Old Yuan had been helping her for a while, and when she came out to rest, she also saw Zhang Digua outside, so she whispered to Song Qiu: "In the afternoon, your grandma Deng came for a walk with a stone egg in her arms and said that your Uncle Digua was here."
You have to be diligent when you come back. I'm afraid he wants to take advantage of our workshop and asked me to tell you, beware of him."
