Author: The Secret in the Tree Hole
Carloads of picked peppers are sent to Wumapo. The factory registers and selects and cleans the baskets for the production of chili pepper sauce.
The thousand acres of land in Zhujiazhuang have not yet finished picking. One after another, green peppers purchased by local pepper merchants from Fucheng and various counties are also being transported to Wumapo non-stop to ensure uninterrupted production on the assembly line.
After making the jars of roasted pepper sauce, they were sealed and neatly stacked in the warehouse. Manager Wu's motorcade came and the jars were registered and shipped out of the warehouse.
Account books must be kept at all times. Only by having accounts can you calculate losses and profits.
The cooperation with Manager Wu is uniformly 40-60 cents. All the cost of peppers, transportation and shop expenses are borne by Manager Wu, and their family builds this factory, the wages of the workers, and the cost of other materials.
When the time comes, Guanshi Wu will have to settle the accounts after the sale, and the accounts will be divided only once a month.
At the moment, everyone is still investing in it, and almost all the money at home has been spent on it.
Therefore, this is nothing to be careless about. It is a small thing to pay for yourself, but it delays the emperor's making money, which is a big deal.
That's why Xu Yinyin had to personally keep an eye on the factory at the beginning to make sure everything was in order, so that she could rest assured.
The Xu family is only responsible for production, and Manager Wu is responsible for sales. This is an agreed upon deal, so when a businessman comes to discuss cooperation, Xu Yinyin naturally refuses. These things cannot be sold on a consignment basis like sanitary ware.
The weather is getting hotter in July, and making chili pepper sauce requires burning charcoal. The inside of the workshop is as hot as a big steamer, and with the windows on all sides open, it's not much better.
Xu Yinyin was also concerned that the workers could not bear to eat, so she ordered the canteen to keep herbal tea flowing, and spent a huge amount of money on ice, freezing mung bean soup for the workers to drink, as well as iced watermelon. Naturally, they had to take a lunch break when it was hottest.
The delivered chili peppers are now turning red, and the chili pepper sauce is ready to be produced. There is no need to burn charcoal, and the workshop will not be so hot.
In the scorching hot weather, the dogs were too lazy to move, but the angels who came from Beijing to announce the decree worked tirelessly. The emperor's life is on your side. You have to go out for fun, so you can't delay your trip.
So when Xu Yinyin saw Eunuch Ding again, his face was so pale that she was afraid that he would faint from the heat and lose his balance. At that moment, she quickly went to the ice basin to cool him down and take a rest before talking!
Having arrived at Yiyang Mansion and met Lord Jiacheng Township, Eunuch Ding was no longer in a hurry. The main reason was that he was really tired and would not be able to return to the capital unless he took his time.
The watermelon was chilled, the ice basin was used, and the maid fanned herself. Eunuch Ding rested comfortably for a while, and then he quickly got down to business.
Everyone in the Xu family knew that they were going to receive the imperial edict, so they had already prepared the incense table. In the main hall, everyone was kneeling on the floor.
Eunuch Ding stood at the front, held out the imperial edict, unfolded it, and read it loudly.
Old man Xu couldn't understand a long series of jabbering, but when he understood the last sentence, his eyes widened and his heart was filled with ecstasy.
County Lord!
My granddaughter has been granted the title of County Lord again!
Ever since their granddaughter was granted the title of Township Lord, they had all come to know that the Township Lord was equivalent to the magistrate, while the County Lord was a second-rank official! His status was second only to the Princess!
And as far as they know, generally only the daughter of a prince or princess can be granted the title of princess.
Their granddaughter has actually been granted the title of county head this time, darling! It’s amazing! What an honor this must be! The emperor’s grace is so great! Thank you, the emperor! Long live the emperor!
Xu Yinyin took the imperial decree with both hands respectfully, but she sighed in her heart: She is not the princess yet! Alas, it is so difficult to get promoted.
Glass and potatoes are not enough, how about cement? Sweet potato? Corn?
However, even though she was only promoted to one level, what comforted Xu Yinyin was that the emperor actually granted her a fiefdom. Good guy, this is also a great honor.
Well, the fiefdom is a bit small. Pingyang County is not far from the capital city, but it has the smallest population and the lowest taxation among the eight counties in Yiyang Prefecture.
Xu Yinyin complained that the fiefdom was a bit small, but she didn't know that just for this small fiefdom, the emperor was still arguing with a group of veterans for half an hour.
The princess became the county owner and obtained a fiefdom, which was also the biggest reward the emperor could give Xu Yinyin.
Don't be dissatisfied that the fiefdom is small. No matter how small the flies are, they are still meat. It is better to have them than not to have them.
In just a few months, the Lord of Jiacheng Township suddenly became the Lord of Jiacheng County, and he was also a County Lord with a fiefdom. Although the fiefdom was small, this clearly showed that the Lord of Jiacheng County was highly valued by the emperor!
As soon as this news spread, the upper class circles in Yiyang Mansion once again saw the Xu family's face in front of the emperor. They might have vaguely felt that Xu Yinyin was a refugee, but now they were completely convinced.
I don't dare to have any ideas at all.
No matter whether you are a beggar or a homeless person, if you are valued by the emperor, you are a noble person!
All of a sudden, invitations to various summer banquets, ice-dining banquets, etc. were sent to the Xu family for free, as well as invitations to people who wanted to visit the county lord. The concierge was too busy to receive the invitations every day.
Of course, Xu Yinyin would not attend all these banquets. She would only visit a few people she was familiar with, and Xu Yinyin would not invite all of these people in.
She was busy, letting Forsythia pack her luggage and prepare to leave for Zhoucheng.
The weather at the end of July was still hot and it was difficult to go out, but it didn't matter. There were ice basins placed at the four corners of the carriage. As long as you didn't lift the curtains, you would be cool.
We went all the way to Jiangkou Town and chartered a boat. It was windy on the river, so it was not so hot on the boat. At night, it was so cool that I had to cover myself with a thick quilt.
Xu Yinyin went to Zhoucheng in a leisurely manner.
At that time, Xu Dajun, who was in Honglu Academy, didn't know that Xu Yinyin was on her way to the city. He also didn't know that Xu Yinyin had sealed the county lord. The academy was blocked from information. If Mu Xiu was not released, the mountain would be blocked, and all information would be delayed.
of.
Right now, they are busy with the monthly exams.
It has been two months since he came to Honglu Academy in the blink of an eye. He is a good teacher and friend. In these short two months, he has made great progress. Although last month’s monthly exam was not good in the entire classroom, this time, he has made great progress.
You must work hard and do well in the exam, at least get into the top five.
Nothing else, just because Mu Xiu didn't catch Cai Gou last time. After he came back to the academy, he frequently taunted him with words. He is as timid as a mouse and a tortoise. He is really like a fly. He still stung rice.
A total of flies.
No, this month’s exam is about to take place. Cai Gou took him and made a bet. He was betting on which of the two of them could get into the top five in this class. If he didn’t pass the exam, he would have to call Cai Gou grandpa. If Cai Gou didn’t
If he passed the exam, he would call him grandpa. If neither of them passed the exam, let's talk about it differently.
He was about to return to Fucheng to take the academy examination, and he also wanted to test his potential, so he agreed. Of course, there was also the reason why Cai Gou was really annoying, so he agreed and he should be clean for at least half a month.
