Chapter 509 The Cannon Fodder Cousin of the Hero of the Imperial Examination (31)

  This winter, the greenhouse vegetables in Xujia Village became the favorite of the group.

  When Xu Yin returned home for the New Year, she brought back a cart full of vegetables from the first harvest, including celery, lettuce, onions, leeks, wax gourd, garlic sprouts, peppers, etc.

  I couldn't finish eating at my own mansion alone. I heard that Lin's mansion sent a carload of New Year gifts to Xu's mansion during Laba, so I took a few catties of each to Lin's mansion.

  After winter, the vegetarian dishes on the dining table in Lin’s house are not Chinese cabbage, but radishes and potatoes. I’m tired of eating them for a long time. Seeing these bright green spring vegetables is more surprising to Mr. Lin than seeing delicacies from mountains and seas:

   "Hey! Where did Xu Mansion get so many fresh vegetables?"

  Mrs. Lin read the letter that Xu Yin asked the boy to bring, and said cheerfully: "I didn't get it from somewhere, but Yin Yin tried to plant it herself."

   "What? Spring vegetables can be grown in winter? How do you grow them?"

   "Well, she said it in the letter."

  Mrs. Lin handed the letter to the master.

  In addition to explaining the origin of these dishes, this letter never mentions the matter of the daughter’s family in the boudoir, so Mrs. Lin doesn’t mind showing it to the elders.

  Master Lin stroked his beard thoughtfully after watching it.

"Ma'am, I suddenly remembered that I bought a farm at the foot of Nanlu Mountain, which is leeward from the wind, which is very suitable for the windless and warm place that my niece said. If we build a big shed as my niece said in her letter, our house will be better in the future. Isn’t it possible to eat spring vegetables in winter?”

Mrs. Lin smiled and said: "If this matter is done, you have to thank Yin Yin! She could have skipped it, but it's winter, and it's polite enough to give us a few fresh dishes for a change. gone."

  After all, the Xu Mansion is full of fertile land, so it is impossible not to find a village with a warm leeward wind, a large number of spring vegetables, and sell them when they are mature.

   But she didn't do that. It can be seen that this virtuous niece is a tolerant person.

  In that room, the old housekeeper was also talking to Xu Yin about the tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land in Xu Mansion.

   "Girl, if you want to grow this, you can find a Zhuangzi. If you tell me how to do it, I believe those veteran farmers in the Zhuangzi will understand how to plant it. Why bother to do it yourself."

  Xu Yin: "..."

  She didn't do it herself.

  Besides, when she was engaged in greenhouse vegetables, she didn't even think about the farm under the Xu Mansion.

  However, since there are so many farms under the Xu Mansion, it can almost be said that they are all over the city, east, west, north, south. Wherever there are large tracts of fertile land, 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.

   "Yes! At the foot of Nanlu Mountain in the south of the city, there is a Zhuangzi that produces grain earlier than other Zhuangzi every year. It is said that because the snow melts earlier and the ice melts faster, the cultivation is naturally earlier."

  Xu Yin tentatively set the No. 2 base for greenhouse vegetables at the farm at the foot of Nanlu Mountain. Whether it is suitable or not will have to be investigated on the spot.

   Base No. 1 is of course Xujia Village.

  The villagers of Xujia Village are so supportive of her fragrance business, it has always been: what she says, they will do it. Of course, she should also think about them more, so that good things can't leave them behind.

  Xu Kui followed from the beginning to the end of the greenhouse vegetable base in Xujia Village, and he volunteered to say: "Girl! I have been to the farm at the foot of Nanlu Mountain! Let the little one go and inspect it!"

   "Are you working too hard?"

  This kid has two workshops on his shoulders.

   In addition, he also assists the village head in managing the vegetable greenhouses in Xujia Village.

   There are also custom-made glass bottles and glass equipment, and he was also the one who contacted Liulifang.

   "This is a small honor, how hard it is!"

  Xu Yin: "..." You can really talk!

  For such a person, not being a shopkeeper or a boss is simply burying talents!

   "Okay! Then I will work hard for you. After the new year, I will go to the foot of Nanlu Mountain to confirm that it is suitable for planting greenhouses. I will borrow a few villagers from Xujia Village and invite them to be greenhouse technicians, bringing veterans of the farm."

  So, Xu Kui was busy with this matter after the new year.

  Of course, he also lost the fragrance workshop and wine shop.

   Therefore, Xu Yin often heard the two maids talk about him:

   "The shopkeeper Xu came back from the south of the city and brought a batch of early-ripe melons and fruits from the village for the girl to try."

   "Treasurer Xu went to Chengdong Winery yesterday, stopped by the mansion, and brought back some vegetarian pastries made by the cook in the mansion for the girl."

   "Master Xu just came from Liulifang 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 again tomorrow, does the girl have anything for him to bring?"

   "Master Xu..."

  Xu Yin felt tired for Comrade Xu Kui when she heard it, and she had a sense of déjà vu of a boss of a listed company who was so busy flying all over the world, either signing the contract or on the way to sign the contract.

   Without further ado, Xu Kui was given a wave of salary increases.

  Xu Kui was stunned when he received the monthly payment, and said to the cashier:

"Brother Sikong, did you post the wrong one? Me, Xu Kui, the monthly payment is thirty taels, not sixty taels! It's already March, it's not the time of Chinese New Year, so don't be so stupid as to double the amount during Chinese New Year. How about a monthly payment?"

  Si gave him a blank look: "Who is stupid?"

  Xu Kui: "..." Is it time to worry about this?

"I said you sent it wrong!!" He said righteously, "As a cashier, how can you send the wrong monthly money? Fortunately, I met Xu Kui. If it were someone else, I would only have two or two months' money. I doubled my income to four or two at once, and I was too late to secretly rejoice, how could I tell you. Turning around, the girl checked the account and found out the discrepancy, and thought you were making fake accounts like the previous accountant... It's over! Sikong! I advise you not to be stupefied, hurry up Get back the extra monthly money..."

  Sikong couldn't take it anymore: "I did not make a mistake. Do you want it or not!"

  Xu Kui: "..."

  Dad is right, the accountant’s speech is really not pleasant, no wonder his face is so disfigured...

At this time, Ziyuan also came to collect her and Hongqian's monthly money. After listening to it, she couldn't help being happy: "Master Xu, you made a mistake yourself! Mr. Sikong didn't make a mistake! The girl has raised your monthly money." !"

   "Huh? The girl raised my monthly salary? No wonder..."

   When Xu Kui found out that this was the case, he immediately burst into joy: Oh, ah! Sixty taels! Xu Kui's monthly payment has actually risen to sixty taels!

   "Dad, take it! I'll buy you some wine!"

   When he was leaving, Xu Kuihao made a move and gave his father twenty taels of pocket money.

  The old butler held the money in his hand, puzzled: "...What's wrong? Did you get rich? Or did you take money from the mansion?"

Xu Kui staggered, looked at his father resentfully and said, "Father, are you so suspicious of your son? The girl has the grace to know me and promote me. I, Xu Kui, will not be greedy for a girl who is greedy for ink." of silver!"

  The old butler laughed and cursed and kicked him: "Okay, don't hurry up and get busy with your business! Work hard! Don't disappoint the girl's expectations of you."

"That is required!"
