The women's petty thoughts cannot escape Jiang Miao's eyes. As the day passes, everyone has ideas in their minds. When the economy slowly recovers, their petty thoughts will only increase.
But it’s normal to have thoughts. Now we eat a big pot of rice, and the rice and noodles are bought by the county government, but in the future when the vegetables are ripe, everyone will eat them together.
By then, there will only be more people with opinions, so the most important thing right now is to quickly restore Zhenjiang Prefecture's business to normal.
Now the blacksmith shops and carpenter shops in the city are opening their doors one after another. Although their craftsmanship is average, the things they make can basically meet the needs of the people in the city. At least they can allow the people to set up stoves and have furniture in their homes. , so that you can cook at home.
It’s time for the county government to stop giving out porridge. After all, they have been working for Jiang Miao for the past few months and have money on hand. As long as a grain store opens in the city, they will not have to worry about not being able to buy rice, and the people will have enough food to live. It will turn around slowly.
Jiang Miao told Shen Yanqing her thoughts, and Shen Yanqing gave her an appreciative look. It turned out that he had also thought of this and asked Liang Duo to choose the person to open the shop.
Although most of Liang Duo's brothers are martial artists, there are also those who are careful and bold. Before opening a shop in the city, there were a few people who were interested in it. However, blacksmithing and carpentry are all crafts that they cannot do, but this is not the case for opening a grain shop. Ah, anyone can open it as long as they have capital and courage.
The brothers worked with Shen Yanqing for several months and received a salary of five taels of silver every month. Although it was not a lot, the county government also provided subsidies for them to open a grain shop.
Shen Yanqing knew that they had little money, so he exempted the shop from rent for two months. The county government would also advance one thousand taels of silver as start-up capital, and pay it back to the county government in installments after the grain was sold.
Because Zhenjiang Prefecture was opening a grain store, Jiang Miao did not ask Xu Zilan to help buy grain in the next two months.
Lan Kwai Fong is now well-known in the capital. A lot of ladies like Lan Kwai Fong's fragrance very much. Whether it is scented candles or fragrant beads, the fragrance smells better than the fragrance in other shops, and the fragrance lasts longer.
The effect of Jade Face Cream is really good. After applying it for two months, Du Yanyan felt that her face was whiter and her skin was more delicate and smooth. These ladies are living signs.
They held several flower-viewing parties every month. It was clear who became fairer and more beautiful, and whose newly made clothes looked good. The other ladies noticed it. Du Yanyan's skin was getting better and better. , the makeup is more compliant, and even the problems of tacky clothes in the past have been covered up, and the whole person has become bright and elegant, which really makes other young ladies jealous, and they all ask her what magic medicine she has taken.
Du Yanyan raised her eyebrows, stroked her face as smooth as a newly cracked egg with her slender fingers, and said proudly.
"This is all because I use Yu Guifang's Yuyan Cream, which contains precious medicinal materials. Applying it on my face can make my skin whiter and smoother. It's not just me. Look at Ru'er, has she also become whiter? .”
When she said that others were going to see Jiang Ru, it was true that Jiang Ru's face used to be a little yellow, but now it is white and rosy, and her whole demeanor has changed.
She used to apply thick powder, and although her skin was whiter, her whole body looked unnatural, unlike now where she only applied a thin layer of powder, but she was several times more beautiful than before.
Jiang Ru felt proud of being looked at by everyone's envious eyes. As the saying goes, one white skin covers all ugliness. She was originally a little beauty. Once her skin improved, her overall beauty also improved to a higher level. She suddenly looked a little stunning. .
She had only seen the eyes of everyone when they were looking at Liu Ruyan before, but now they were looking at her with the same eyes. The corners of Jiang Ru's mouth were so high that she couldn't hold them down, and her whole heart swelled.
"Well, the stuff in Yu Kwai Fong is really good."
With the existing examples, everyone was very curious about the things in Yugui Fong, so after several banquets, the ladies in the capital all knew that a new incense shop had been opened in the capital.
The items sold there are exquisite and easy to use, and any little lady who uses them becomes more beautiful. Isn't this just trying to lure people into buying things?
Therefore, the business in Yugui Fang has been unprecedentedly hot in the past two months. If Jiang Miao hadn't had so many people and couldn't sell enough of the things she made, they would have earned five thousand taels of silver in these two months alone, excluding costs and sharing with Xu Zilan.
Yes, Jiang Miao still has three thousand taels of silver in her hand.
Three thousand taels of silver may seem like a lot, but it is a drop in the bucket in terms of restoring the economy of Zhenjiang Prefecture. The food alone is not enough to feed the people for two months.
Therefore, the matter of opening a grain store must be put on the agenda. Otherwise, the people in the city will be left with nothing if they rely solely on the county government to provide porridge. Not to mention that the county government cannot afford it, and the people will not be able to eat well.
And just eating white porridge is not enough. The lack of other nutrients is not good for the body. Therefore, not only the grain shops must be opened, but also the vegetable markets must be restored quickly.
With the start-up capital of three thousand taels, grain shops, meat stalls and vegetable stalls in Zhenjiang Prefecture were opened one after another. If Zhenjiang Prefecture had no food, they would go to surrounding prefectures to buy it.
Pork, chickens and ducks were also harvested by the neighboring prefecture. The vegetables in the fields gradually matured. The people kept some of the food for home, and sold the rest to exchange it for money to buy grain. The economy of Zhenjiang Prefecture slowly grew like this.
Recovered.
Jiang Miao finally ate the vegetables stir-fried in the small stove. She no longer had to drink porridge all day long. She picked a handful of fresh leeks that had just grown in the ground and fried them with eggs. They paired them with soft steamed buns. One bite left a fragrant aroma in her mouth. Jiang Miao
He closed his eyes and sighed happily.
This is how people live, and she finally got over it.
Shen Yanqing was amused and distressed. Jiang Miao felt wronged for following him. Shen Yanqing took a large piece of egg and put it in her bowl.
"Eat more."
"My husband also eats it!"
Jiang Miao smiled and picked up a piece. Now that they had vegetables, meat and eggs to eat, there was no need for them to treat themselves harshly.
"Um."
Shen Yanqing lowered his head and put the dish into his mouth. Jiang Miao's cooking skills were so good that even the ordinary scrambled eggs with chives were tender and fragrant, leaving a fragrant aroma in people's teeth and cheeks.
"Mr. Sir, you said that now that there are grain shops and vegetable markets, is it possible to start a food business?"
Food is the most important thing for the people. Jiang Miao likes to eat delicious food, and she also wants to let the people eat delicious food and make money. Isn't this a good thing?
"Can."
Shen Yanqing swallowed the food in his mouth, nodded and said, as long as Jiang Miao wanted to do something that was not extraordinary, he would agree with it, and Jiang Miao had never done anything extraordinary. She was dedicated to Zhenjiang Mansion.
For the sake of the people, Shen Yanqing even agreed with her decision.
"Then I'll go back and write a plan. How to open a shop in this city? I need to plan it carefully."
