Chapter 148 The feeling of being a local tyrant
As soon as Xie Ruyu came back, she went to Xie Ruyue's yard.
"Sister, I've seen that woman."
Seeing that she looked a little dissatisfied, Xie Ruyue raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong?"
Xie Ruyu curled her lips, "Liu...Lu Feiyan protects her, and they left before I even said a few words."
She didn't know whether she was simply dissatisfied with Ji Wan, or that she "returned to" the "outsider" so quickly without getting angry.
Xie Ruyue's calm eyes were silent, and she signaled her to continue.
Xie Ruyu said, "Apart from being beautiful, there is nothing special. I don't know why I got the eyes of Mrs. An Guogong. Humph, Zuo just looked at the Zhou family's face. I saw her mother, and she looked like a wife of a noble family, and I couldn't tell anything else. The little girl from the Xiao family seemed to like her very much. The mother and daughter were quite capable."
Xie Ruyue was silent and said nothing.
Xie Ruyu hugged her arm and said, "Sister, don't be angry. Lu Sanlang is blind and has taken a look at a bad girl. Sooner or later, he will regret it."
Xie Ruyue smiled and shaved her nose intimately, saying, "Don't talk nonsense."
"It was."
Xie Ruyu leaned against her, "My uncle didn't dislike her mother, and married her with the courtesy of a wife. She followed her to gain wealth and entered the Xiao Mansion. But so what? After all, it was not a legitimate girl from the Xiao family, and the family tree was not published. No news from her father's clan was heard, and it was probably a family of small families. His Majesty praised her and appointed her as the county magistrate, but she could not change the fact that she was of a low origin. Our Xie family is a century-old clan and doesn't bother to compare with her. Lu Sanlang chose such a girl who came out of nowhere."
When aristocratic families and families are always a family leader.
If Ji Wan is a legitimate girl from the Xiao family, she is a match with Duke Anguo Mansion.
But she is not.
As Xie Ruyu said, even though Emperor Mingde appointed her as the county lord, even though her mother remarried to the Xiao Mansion, she still could not change the fact that she was a civilian.
So Xie Ruyue was curious about what special about this woman, and she was able to get the eyes of Mrs. An Guogong.
You must know that Lu Sanlang is the prince of Duke An Guo’s Mansion. The future Duke, even Princess Shang, is qualified.
Xie Ruyue was somewhat dissatisfied.
It’s not that she must be the Lu family, but her innate noble background gives her superior capital. If Lu Feili likes other noble girls, she can accept it calmly. If she loses to a commoner, her self-esteem will always be frustrated.
She got married and was inconvenient to go out, so she asked her sister to find an opportunity to see what was special about the woman who was promoted to the county lord as a civilian.
The six girls of the Lu family are unruly, but they are also a delicate lady from a noble family. If County Lord Ji was really just a civilian girl who could not stand on the table, Lu Feiyan would never condescend to get along with her.
Xie Ruyue felt confident.
"Don't say these words again." She told her sister, "Let your mother know that you will be punished to copy the female quit again."
Xie Ruyu stuck out her tongue, "I understand." She said in surprise: "Sister, aren't you angry?"
"Why are you angry?" Xie Ruyue smiled and calm and elegantly, "I just asked you to explore the truth and not to ask you to make trouble. Fortunately, Miss Lu Liu is here. If you embarrass someone in the Zhou Mansion, you will have to be dragged by your grandmother to apologize to others."
Xie Ruyu snorted, "I don't believe it. She is not a girl from the Zhou family."
Xie Ruyue shook her head, "You are thirteen years old, and they are still a childish nature. Think about it, she was a civilian, why could she be repeatedly enthroned by the emperor? It was because of the old teacher. This means that the Zhou family is the backer of their mother and daughter. Now she has entered the Xiao Mansion with her mother and daughter. Even if she is not a legitimate girl from the Xiao family, she still has that identity. As for her, she has to call the Queen and aunt. If you offend her, it will not only slap the Zhou family in the face, but also slap the Queen in the face. What do you think grandmother will do?"
Although Xie Ruyu was not as calm as the elder sister, she was not stupid. Therefore, although she pouted and expressed her dissatisfaction, she did not refute it.
"Ruyu, remember, birds of a feather flock together. Although I have never seen that County Lord Ji, she is as close as a sister to Feiyan, and has a harmonious relationship with the Xiao girl in such a short time, which means that she is not bad in her knowledge, demeanor and vision, and is very smart."
Xie Ruyue carefully taught her sister, "I thought it was a bad idea before. How could the person Mrs. An Guo look down on is a petty man? If you meet her again in the future, don't be prejudiced."
Xie Ruyu was not a mean person either. She was just worried about her elder sister. Now that she heard her elder sister say this, she nodded obediently.
"good."
Xie Ruyue smiled. In fact, she was still a little curious. After all, it is rare for a woman to be valued and entrusted by His Majesty. If she has the chance in the future, she also wants to see her.
"By the way, elder sister."
Xie Ruyu remembered something, "Today, there was a dish called sausage on the table in Zhou Mansion. I had never seen it before, but it was quite delicious. I asked someone to go and ask, it was Ji... the county lord made the trick. Didn't she say that the Ji workshop in the suburbs of the city was opened by her? The previous sauce-plate duck was also made by her. The maid in Zhou Mansion said that the workshop will open the next day and sell sausages. My mother also said she would send someone to buy it. Unexpectedly, her cooking skills are quite good, which is barely an advantage."
In fact, not all the ladies of a family are not completely free from spring water. Many people will make some snacks or make soup. Of course, they will not do the rough work of burning fire. Even washing vegetables and noodles are done by servants. They are only responsible for the simplest steps.
Therefore, Xie Ruyu did not show any disdain or contempt for Ji Wan's cooking and selling food.
"Is that so? Then I will try it."
**
As Ji Wan expected, the guests on the table would have to inquire about the sausages in private, and the sausages were promoted so smoothly.
By the day of opening, she went to the workshop with a hood. Just like before, in a separate flower hall, she could see what was outside when she opened the window.
Because it was promoted in advance, there were many people coming, and there were three lines in line.
Fortunately, she has hired many people, otherwise she would have been too busy at all.
"Hey, are you the only one selling sausages and bacon today?"
"At the end of New Year's Eve, a batch of goods will be ready every three days."
"Then I will buy fifty kilograms of sausage and thirty kilograms of bacon."
"I want eighty kilograms of sausage and fifty kilograms of bacon."
...
Sure enough, rich families would not make bacon by themselves. They thought it was troublesome and would rather spend money to buy ready-made ones. Fortunately, the stock was large, and the first batch of bacon and bacon was sold all day before they were finished.
Ji Wan left in the middle of the afternoon, and the next day Zeng Yuan asked someone to send the account book to Xiao Mansion.
The sausages sold were 5,260 kilograms, and the bacon was less, only 3,370 kilograms.
The amount of bacon is larger than that of bacon, but she is not in a hurry. It is half a month before the Chinese New Year, and they will definitely buy more by then.
And those who came today still have bought sausages and bacon.
One reason.
time!
This place is too far away, and it takes three hours to go back and forth, and there is still a queue. It is the cold winter month again. It snowed two days ago, and the road was slipping, so I was afraid of being unsafe at night. So many people went back to see it was late and planned to come here early next time.
Because of this, the second time people bought more at one time, so as to avoid not being able to buy during the Chinese New Year. The second time sales volume was more than three times that of the first time, and it increased in turn.
By the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, a total of nearly 100,000 kilograms of bacon and 150,000 kilograms of bacon were sold.
The total sales are more than 13,000 taels.
In addition to various labor costs and the additional rewards from Ji Wan to the workshop's guys, the profit was also over 10,000.
When Ji Wan reported this number, Ji Rong and Xiao Wen were both a little stunned.
"Sister, the pure profit of your Sauce Duck last time seemed to be higher. All of them are almost 30,000, right?"
"Um."
Ji Wan nodded, "The net profit of Jiangban Duck is nearly 16,000."
Xiao Wen said: "New Year's Eve is coming soon. According to this sales volume, the last batch of sausages and bacon should be better than the previous few times, right?"
"Of course."
Ji Wan had a smile on her face.
"Anyway, the last batch will be sold out. Even if it can't be sold out, you can still keep it for yourself."
"But didn't you keep a part in advance?"
"It's okay, both sausages and bacon can be stored, and it may not be eaten during the Chinese New Year."
In fact, in addition to the old teacher's birthday, the sausages and bacon on the table, the Zhou family's houses, the in-laws, and the families with good relationships with the Xiao family, including the Wei family, stepfather Xiao Shi's ex-wife, she sent people to deliver sausages and bacon from door to door.
Like the sauce-pan duck, she had long dedicated the recipe for sausage to Emperor Mingde. However, she still asked her stepfather to send some to the queen.
In the hot pot restaurant, business has been so good in the past two months.
Ji Wan read the account book every day with relish and generously bought a pair of red gold-haired faces for the sisters in the mansion. The brothers each bought a set of four good study treasures and gave a new saddle to her stepfather Xiao Shi.
Of course, she didn't miss the old lady's place.
The old lady worshipped Buddha, and she sent a jade Guanyin and a red bead of Buddha.
As for the third lady... she was not stingy, with the same set of red gold-faced faces and a pair of jade bracelets.
Ji Wan felt the feeling of being a rich man and spent her own money.
One word, cool!
Zhou's family has had some worries these days.
