Chapter 508 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (31)
This winter, the greenhouse vegetables in Xujia Village became the favorite of the people.
When Xu Yin returned home to celebrate the New Year, she brought back a cart of the first harvest of vegetables, including celery, lettuce, onions, leeks, winter melon, garlic sprouts, peppers, etc.
My own house couldn't finish all the food, so I heard that Lin's house sent a cart of New Year's gifts to Xu's house during Laba, so I took a few kilograms of each and sent them to Lin's house.
After winter, the vegetarian dishes on Lin's dining table were either stored Chinese cabbage, radishes, or potatoes. He had long been tired of eating them. Seeing these bright green spring vegetables surprised Mr. Lin even more than seeing the delicacies of the mountains and seas:
"Hey! Where did the Xu family get so many fresh vegetables?"
Mrs. Lin read the letter that Xu Yin asked the boy to send, and said happily: "I didn't get it from somewhere, Yin Yin found a way to grow it herself."
"What? Can you grow spring vegetables in the middle of winter? How?"
"Well, she said it in the letter."
Mrs. Lin handed the letter to the master.
Apart from explaining the origin of these dishes, this letter did not mention anything about her daughter's family, so Mrs. Lin didn't mind showing it to the elders.
After looking at it, Mr. Lin stroked his beard thoughtfully.
"Madam, I suddenly remembered that I once bought a farm at the foot of the southern foot of the mountain. The location is leeward, which is very suitable for the windless and warm place mentioned by my good niece. If we build a greenhouse like the good niece mentioned in the letter, our house will be in the future.
Can’t we also eat spring vegetables in winter?”
Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "If this thing is going to be done, you have to thank Yin Yin properly! She could have just ignored it. It's such a winter, and it's polite enough to give us a few fresh dishes for a change.
Already."
After all, the Xu Mansion has so much fertile land that it is impossible not to find a village with a warm leeward wind, where they can grow a large number of spring vegetables and sell them when they are ripe. Some officials in Luo City would have to plunder the land.
But she didn't do this. It can be seen that this virtuous niece is a tolerant and generous person.
Over there, the old housekeeper was also talking to Xu Yin about the vast hectares of fertile land in Xu Mansion.
"Girl, if you want to grow this, you can find a village. You can tell me how to do it. I believe those experienced farmers in the village will know how to grow it. Why bother doing it so hard by yourself?"
Xu Yin: "..."
She didn't do it herself.
Besides, when she was working on growing vegetables in the greenhouse, she didn't even think about the farm owned by Xu Mansion.
However, since there are so many farms under the Xu Mansion, it can be said that they are almost all over the east, west, north and south of Luo City. Wherever there is a large area of fertile farmland, one of them must belong to the Xu family.
Xu Yin asked the housekeeper if there was any farm that was relatively warm and leeward from the wind.
"Yes! At the foot of Nanlu Mountain in the south of the city, there is a village that produces grain earlier than other villages every year. It is said that it is because the snow melts earlier and the ice melts faster, so farming naturally proceeds earlier."
Xu Yin tentatively decided that the No. 2 base for greenhouse vegetables would be located at the farm at the foot of Nanlu Mountain. Whether it would be suitable or not would have to be investigated on the spot.
Base No. 1 is of course still Xujiacun.
The villagers of Xujiacun were so supportive of her fragrance business, and they always said: whatever she said, they would do it. Of course she had to think more about them, and she couldn't leave them behind when doing good things.
Xu Kui followed the greenhouse vegetable base in Xujiacun from beginning to end. He volunteered and said: "Girl! I have been to the farm at the foot of the southern foot of the mountain! Let me go and inspect it!"
"Are you working too hard?"
This guy has two workshops on his shoulders.
In addition, he assisted the village chief in managing the vegetable greenhouses in Xujia Village.
He also contacted Liulicang for custom-made some glass bottles and glass equipment.
"This is a small honor, how can it be hard work!"
Xu Yin: "..." You are really good at talking!
Such a person, if he does not act as a shopkeeper or boss, he will simply bury his talent!
"Okay! Then I'll thank you. After the new year, I'll go to the foot of the southern foothills to make sure it's suitable for growing greenhouses. Then I'll borrow a few villagers from Xujia Village and ask them to be greenhouse technicians and guide the old masters of the farm."
So, Xu Kui was busy with this matter after the New Year.
Of course, he also missed the fragrance shop and wine shop.
Therefore, Xu Yin often heard the two maids talking about him:
"Shopkeeper Xu came back from the south of the city and brought a batch of early-ripening fruits from the village for the girl to try."
"Shopkeeper Xu went to the Chengdong Winery yesterday and went back to the mansion. He brought the girl back some plain cakes made by the chef in the mansion."
"Shopkeeper Xu just came from Liulicang and said that the small glass bottle customized by the girl will be delivered in a few days."
"Shopkeeper Xu is going to Nanlu Mountain tomorrow. Is there anything you want him to take with you?"
"Shopkeeper Xu..."
Xu Yin felt tired for Comrade Xu Kui when she heard that. She had a sense of deja vu as the CEO of a listed company in later generations who was so busy traveling all over the world, either signing contracts or on the way to sign contracts.
Without saying a word, Xu Kui was given a salary increase.
When Xu Kui received the monthly payment, he was stunned and said to the accountant:
"Brother Sikong, did you send the wrong message? I, Xu Kui, the monthly payment is thirty taels, not sixty taels! It is already March, not the time of the Chinese New Year, so don't be stupid and still press the doubling rate during the New Year period.
Will you be paid monthly?"
Si Kong glanced at him: "Who is stupid?"
Xu Kui: "..." Is now the time to care about this?
"I said you sent the wrong payment!!!" He said sternly, "As a bookkeeper, how can you even send the wrong monthly payment? Fortunately, you met me, Xu Kui. If it were someone else, I would have only had two or two months' payment.
, I got four taels in one go, and I was too late to rejoice, so how could I tell you. When I turned around and the girl did the accounting, she found the discrepancy, and thought you were making false accounts like your previous accountant... It's over, it's over! Sikong! I advise you not to be stunned.
, hurry up and get back the extra monthly money..."
Sikong couldn't bear it anymore: "I sent it right. Do you want it if you like it?"
Xu Kui: "..."
Dad was right, what the accountant said was indeed unpleasant. No wonder his face was so ugly...
At this time, Zi Yuan also came to collect her and Hong Qian's monthly payment. After listening to it, she couldn't help but be happy: "Shopkeeper Xu, you made a mistake yourself! Mr. Sikong did not make a mistake! The girl gave you a monthly payment increase.
!”
"Ah? Did the girl give me a monthly salary increase? No wonder..."
When Xu Kui learned what was going on, he felt happy: Ouch! Sixty taels! Xu Kui's monthly money has actually increased to sixty taels!
"Dad, take it! I'll buy you a drink!"
When leaving, Xu Kuihao gave his father twenty taels of pocket money.
The old housekeeper held the money in his hand and was puzzled: "...What happened? Did you make a fortune? Or did you embezzle the money in the house?"
Xu Kui staggered and looked at his father with a resentful look: "Dad, do you doubt your son so much? The girl has given me the kindness to know and promote me. I, Xu Kui, am greedy and no one will be greedy for the girl.
money!"
The old housekeeper laughed and scolded him and kicked him: "Okay, hurry up and go about your business! Work diligently! Don't let down the girl's expectations of you."
