Chapter 178(1/3)
"Why are you back?" Shen Yu immediately stood up and walked out when he saw the person. He looked at the person who was supposed to be in Beijing, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he appeared at the door of his store.
Dajiang smiled a little silly: "Miss Chen, the young master has made a carriage for you in the capital and asked his subordinates to send it back. This horse is also a good horse selected by the young master himself, and it is extremely docile."
"Young Master said, you often go out, it's winter now, and it will be inconvenient without a carriage. Do you like it?"
Shen Yu was really surprised. At the moment of seeing Ajiang, he knew that it must be Chu Yunting who sent him.
Unexpectedly, others were in Beijing and thought that it was inconvenient for their own travel, so they sent it back after making a carriage. The sweet heart was so sweet that it couldn't close the smile at the corner of their mouth.
"Why don't you like such a good carriage?" The carriage is quite large, and it is no problem to sit on three or four people. The materials are extremely particular and the workmanship is exquisite. I lifted the thick curtain and looked inside. There were low and slump seats on both sides. There were also a small square table inside, all of which were fixed. There were several drawers on the table, which could be used for people to put things, such as food, handkerchiefs, fans, etc.
There is also a ready-made stove next to the small square table. The stove is also carved with large blooming peonies. There is a large cushion in the middle of the carriage, and there is also a folded quilt next to it, so that people can sit in the carriage and lie down and rest.
"This carriage is very good. A Jiang. When you go back, tell your son, girl, I like this carriage very much. When he comes back next time, I will thank him in the way he wants."
When Ajiang heard this, he immediately thought of something and immediately lowered his head. What kind of way does the young master want?
Shen Yu smirked with his lips and called Liu Dou over and asked him to lead the carriage into the backyard.
When Liu Dou saw Ajiang bringing back the carriage, he knew that it must be Chu Yunting who specially asked him to send it back. He pulled the carriage back to the backyard, looked carefully at the exquisite carriage and curled his lips: "I want to have money and can make such a good thing, what's so amazing..."
A Jiang came back to send the carriage back and planned to leave. Shen Yu asked him to stay here for a rest and then leave, but he refused. He said he wanted to return to Beijing earlier to report his life, as if the young master was at ease.
Shen Yu was not easy to keep him, so he wrote a letter in a hurry to ask him to take it back in person.
In the backyard, the whole family was smiling around the carriage. In this town, except for those rich families who could have a carriage, few wealthy families could have such a valuable carriage, which was worth a lot of money at first glance.
The old lady was most interested. She got on the carriage and took off her shoes. She sat in it for a long time before she got down satisfied.
Shen Yu came to the backyard, stood in the carriage and looked again and again, then smiled and said, "With this carriage, I don't have to walk anywhere, lying inside is warm, not to mention how comfortable it is. It's still my Yunting is careful and knows that I'll get such a good thing back, for fear that I will suffer a little..."
Liu Dou snorted disdainfully when he heard this, and his eyes slanted at her several times. In the past, people didn't see each other when something happened, but now everything has passed. I'm happy to get a carriage and come back to see her. It's really healed and forgot to hurt her!
"Okay, okay, don't surround me here. What should I do if the horse is unhappy later? Let's all go into the house."
"Little Chili, you'll be fine and help me make things."
"Okay."
Shen Yu is planning to make a batch of sanitary napkins in the past few days, and then give it to the aunts and wives of neighbors to try it out, and then make a survey and feedback record of the use of the product.
Last time she bought a twenty-foot cloth, which could be about a hundred pieces. She slurried all the cloth, cut out the shape, then sealed the edges, filled the dust, sealed the mouth, and finally finished it.
Little Chili was very novel about what she made. I heard that it was for what she was used for, so I was surprised for a while.
After Shen Yu used up the twenty-foot cloth, it had been two or three days. He made about 120 pieces. He left fifty or sixty pieces at home and prepared to try it out next time. The remaining fifty or sixty pieces were distributed to the two aunts on both sides and their daughter-in-law.
When she gets the trial results, it will take at least half a month later. During this period, she needs to plan the factory and other things.
In fact, at first she planned to rent a house in the town and convert it into a factory to make a production line, but later she found out that there were no particularly large houses in the town that were empty. Even if there were, the houses of others were not allowed to be renovated too much.
After thinking about it, she decided to build it herself and draw the design drawings according to the modern factory layout. In a few days, she straightened out all the details and drew out the pictures.
But the only problem is where the factory should be built?
If it is built in a town, the town is too small and the future sales will not be easy to open. If it is built in a city, if you are not familiar with the land, you don’t know how much time it takes to find the land.
But the advantage of building a factory in the city is that sales are easy to open up. After all, people in the city have money and will have a higher acceptance of this thing.
After thinking about it, she decided to take advantage of the days when she was free and went to Tongcheng to see if there was any suitable place to buy one, and she was going to build the factory before the New Year.
The marriage between King An and Zhao Xueci in the capital was only half a month away. But before they got married, Mrs. Zhao had ordered someone to arrange Jin Qi's marriage properly.
After all, I have taken care of his daughter sincerely for more than ten years, and this marriage cannot be wronged.
Mrs. Zhao sent someone to repair his ancestral home, and then bought a good house on the periphery of the capital. She also transferred three shops from her hand and distributed them to his name. She also gave a lot of money.
On that day, Jin Qi got up early and took several brothers from the mansion to meet the bride. As the groom, he was very old and his expression was not as joyful as a young man, and he looked very dull.
The bride covered her veil and got into the sedan chair. After he came back, she entered the bridal chamber. The moment she opened the veil, a girl with round face, thick eyebrows and big eyes was white and clean, smiling at him shyly. She was very young and beautiful, and looked gentle and virtuous. As Mrs. Zhang said, she was a good girl.
His eyes couldn't help but soften, and after drinking a glass of wine, he went to entertain guests in front of him. After a day, he was dizzy and his steps were floating. He was supported by his good brothers and walked back to the bridal chamber.
It was already dark outside and the candlelight was shining in the room.
The beautiful bride was dressed in red, sitting on the bed covered with red quilts, looking at him softly.
He lowered his head and his eyes dodged a little. After a moment, the bride got up to him, held his arm, pulled him to sit by the bed, and began to untidy him: "Honey, it's late at night, you're drunk too much, hurry up and lie down and rest."
He looked at the woman who already belonged to him, and told him that he had forgotten what he shouldn't have thought. You have been with her for so many years in your life...
Don’t think about it anymore, you don’t have the right to think about it.
He was a little dizzy and didn't use much force on his body, but he still stretched out his hand and pulled the woman who was untiing his clothes under him.
I woke up the next morning and it was already dawn. The headache after the hangover made it difficult for him to open his eyes. It took him a long time to relieve it before slowly straightening up.
Before she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, Jiang Yun had already walked in. She was wearing a red dress, combed in a woman's bun, and only a golden hairpin was inserted on her head. But the bright red clothes made her skin look white and soft and charming.
She came in with the food, and immediately held his hand when she saw him get up: "Honey husband is up, you sit down first, I'll bring you a wash water, you have washed your face before eating."
Jin Qi sat by the bed, looking at his woman, busy with him, and suddenly felt warm in his heart. Such a life was actually quite good...
The weather was clear that day, and Shen Yu asked Liu Dou to drive her into the city in the morning. The journey into the city was not far, and it took only two days to go there.
After arriving in the city, they found a similar inn. After packing up, they went to find someone introduced by Mei Niang and asked him where there were landlords who were willing to sell land.
The owner of this store is a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a chubby, round head and straight face, not that tall, and looks very kind.
When she heard that it was introduced by Mei Niang, she immediately brought tea and poured water to greet them and sat down, and carefully talked about the price of the land around Tongcheng.
"Our Tongcheng is not big, but it is close to the capital. It is also a land that is worth every inch of land. In those years, drought and floods are uneven, and no one wants to make the land cheaper. In recent years, the weather has been good, and the land prices have also risen."
"A few days ago, Mei Niang sent a message saying, "Miss, you want to buy land to build a house. I specially sent someone to inquire. I thought the north of the city is the most suitable. The area is flat and there are many small villages around it. It is not very remote. The most important thing is that the north of the city is cheaper. But there is only one place. Don't buy land with the Yang family. It's an old hooligan and it's not easy to mess with."
Mei Niang is safe in doing things. She sent a letter and asked her where the cheapest place is, but the old hooligan who is surnamed Yang?
Without time to think too much, Shen Yu hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Boss Chen, I have trouble this time. If it works, I have to treat you to a meal, and I will have to give you a look at me."
"Oh, why are you doing this kind of polite thing for a girl? Mei Niang's girl is my girl. Don't be polite! I'll ask my friend to take you to the north to see the land. The store is busy, so I won't go with you in person. Please forgive me, my girl."
"You are busy with yours, so you don't have to follow me. Give us an address and we can find it ourselves."
"That's not good, you have to ask the guy to follow me no matter what, otherwise it will be troublesome if you get lost in a while."
"Then I would like to thank Boss Chen for your trouble."
"You're welcome, you're welcome..."
The shop guy was a young man, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, looked very clever, wearing a blue shirt. Seeing that they had a carriage themselves, they lifted up their clothes and put them in front to catch the bus.
Liu Dou didn't want to sit in the carriage very much. He was tall and always felt so bored that he sat here. Besides, he didn't want to squeeze in that carriage with Shen Yu, and he always felt uncomfortable.
The north of the city is not far from here, and it takes about half an hour to arrive.
The bustling streets were pulled back, and as we walked, we arrived at the village road. From a distance, there were several villages surrounded by tall woods.
Shen Yu thought this place was really good. There were villages nearby. In the future, people could be invited from the village in the factory. Moreover, it was only half an hour away from the city. Whether it was buying raw materials or shipping, the road was very convenient.
The only thing that is not suitable is the price of this land. It is said that one acre of land now costs three taels of silver. She only has two hundred taels of silver in her hand. She still has to buy land, build a house, set up a production line, recruit workers, and buy raw materials. Everything has to be spent on silver, which may not be enough...
After leaving for about two quarters of an hour, the carriage stopped. They got off the carriage and looked at a very grand yard in front of them. The walls were painted white, red bricks and gray tiles, like a very rich landlord's house.
"The girl is waiting here. I will say hello to the butler. He will take us to see the floor later."
Shen Yu nodded and watched the young man knock on the mahogany door. After a moment, the back door opened. A young man came out. After asking for his purpose, he went in to report.
Not long after, a man in his fifties came out from the room, lean and thin, holding a cigarette pipe in his hand and wearing a silk shirt. When he saw Shen Yu and Liu Dou, he squinted his eyes and smiled: "This girl wants to buy land, how many acres, what should I do?"
Shen Yu smiled and stepped forward: "Hello, this uncle. I want to buy more than ten acres of acres, build some houses, and do a small business in the future."
Butler Liu smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand to signal her to walk with him, while saying, "It seems that the girl is not doing ordinary business, and ten acres of land are not a small amount. The girl comes with me and take a look first."
The housekeeper said that he would take them to the wide place over there. Not long after, he came to a large field, as if he wanted to plant spring peanuts, so the land was deserted. From a distance, there were still several small hills next to the other end of the land. These low wild trees grew densely on the hillside.
Shen Yu looked around and was close to the village and flat, which was a good place. He smiled and asked, "Uncle, what is the price of your land?"
Butler Liu smiled and stretched out three fingers at her: "This is the spring farmland that is left. The spring peanuts are ready to be planted next year. The yield per mu of peanuts is about 800 kilograms, which is absolutely good land."
"According to the price of our Tongcheng land price, the girl needs 33 taels of ten acres, one acre of land, three taels of three coins of silver."
Shen Yu frowned slightly when she heard this, "But I had inquired before the uncle came. It said that the land in the north of the city was only three taels of silver per acre. Why did it cost three cents to get to you?"
"I'm buying ten acres at one time. Can't you lose a little? I think this place is really good..."
The butler shook his head and took a puff of his cigarette, as if he didn't care whether the business could be done: "Girl, the price is not high anymore. You can go to the south of the city to take a look. The good land there costs 3,700 yuan in silver, but only 3,000 yuan in north of the city, which is really affordable!"
"If you really think it's expensive, you can go to the village to find the country people to buy it yourself, but if you want to buy a large area of ten acres like me, you can basically not find it."
Shen Yu sneered. Just because the countrymen could not have ten acres of land together, they would buy it from the landlord's house. He really could start the price!
The butler was smoking leisurely, and did not urge Shen Yu to walk around the ridge of the field, as if he was going out for a walk.
Liu Dou stood beside Shen Yu, bent down to look at the land. The ground was flat and the soil was of good quality. The yield per acre was about 800 kilograms, which was not intimidating. As he thought, he stood up and said to her: "Acre of land is a little expensive, but I think this land is worth this price. If you think it is expensive, let's go to other places to inquire. Anyway, this place is not a landlord."
Shen Yu also felt that it was a bit expensive. After all, she didn’t have much money in her hand and needed to save money in any link. Besides, it would be no harm to look at it more. If you really can’t find a good place, you can buy it.
Then he turned around and asked the young man: "Is there any landlord's house nearby to sell land?"
The young man nodded: "After another half an hour, there is a big landlord who has a lot of land in his hands, but there is no good land here, and the price is not clear. Moreover, the family's surname is Yang, the boss said not to buy his Yang family's, will we still go and see it?"
Shen Yu nodded, "Just look at it and don't have to buy it."
He turned around and said hello to the butler, and then turned around and left. The butler watched them go to the left, holding a cigarette pipe in his mouth, and smiled coldly: "Girl, I really don't care about you. There is indeed land in the Yang Dizhu family in front of him, but his land is not as good as mine. And I bet that if you buy his land, you will regret it!"
