Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 242 Chapter 242: Full Moon Banquet
Xiaolian was pleasantly surprised. After Gu Qiqi finished explaining, she quickly learned how to use the stroller.

"Okay, I understand. With this stroller, the young master can play in the stroller in the future, and we can relax a lot."

Aunt Kuan nodded Xiao Lian's head: "From now on, you will be the young master's maid. It is not right for you to follow the young master and do something."

Xiaolian smiled and said, "I know it should be done. I mean, at least my hands won't be so sore."

"The little master likes to play in the yard. When the weather gets warm in spring, he will be in the yard all day long and must be held."

"With this little cart, my hands can be freed up. I can do other things when I'm free."

Gu Qiqi: "That's right, but when he gets older, you can't be careless. You have to prevent him from falling out of the cart, and he can't be around anyone. Don't think about doing anything else. Your mission Just take good care of the young master. You don’t have to worry about other things at home."

Xiaolian: "Don't worry, girl. I will take care of the young master to make him healthy, white and tender."

Gu Qiqi nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. The little one is just one month old, so don't play outside for too long. Just go inside. I won't go in. There are many things waiting for me outside."

Xiaolian: "Okay. Then I will take the young master in first."

After Xiaolian and Aunt Kuan took Gu Qiyang back to the house, Gu Qiqi and Nangong Ye left.

The next day was Gu Qiyang's full moon banquet.

The Gu Mansion was particularly lively on this day.

It can be said that all the officials in Yongdu City are here, and there are also many well-known and unnamed wealthy families.

After all, this is a good opportunity to get up close and personal with Dayong's first female official.

Of course, approaching Gu Qiqi was not to cause harm, but to see if they could discuss business cooperation.

Or if cooperation cannot be negotiated, it would be good to listen to the business experience, learn something, and invite Gu Qiqi to give some advice.

Watching Gu Qiqi open one shop or a workshop one after another, you can tell that his business acumen is not simple.

You may not be able to succeed just by taking some advice casually.

Gu Qiqi originally thought that this day was his brother's full moon banquet, and that he would be very relaxed if he didn't have anything to do.

The result was that all the guests gathered around her after seeing her off.

Small talk for small talk, business talk for business.

Of course, people should talk more about business than small talk.

Boss No. [-]: "Mrs. Fulu, I heard that you are working on a new workshop this year. What kind of business are you planning to do? Do we have the opportunity to cooperate?"

Gu Qiqi: "If there is a chance, of course it is possible. What is your business?"

Boss No. [-]: "My surname is Yuan, and I run a textile workshop and cloth shop. However, the past two years have been plagued by constant disasters, and this business has become increasingly difficult."

Gu Qiqi: "Why? Shouldn't Buzhuang have little impact?"

Boss Yuan smiled and said: "It seems that Mrs. Fulu has never done this kind of business. The cloth shop will not have much impact, but the textile shop will be affected."

Then Boss Yuan explained their current difficulties to Gu Qiqi in detail.

At present, there are three types of cloth in Dayong, one is linen, one is cotton, and the other is silk.

Linen cloth is generally made from hemp, which is processed into fine hemp ropes and then woven.

The cotton cloth is naturally made of cotton.

Silk is mulberry silk.

Basically every household grows some hemp.

However, cotton is not currently planted on a large scale in Dayong. Only a small number of farmers, those with ample land, will plant some, and some farm owners with farms will plant some.

However, these are far from meeting Dayong's needs.

Therefore, the raw materials of cotton cloth - cotton thread or cotton, and even the raw materials of silk, can only be purchased through transactions with friendly countries.But this tends to be expensive.

Especially silk thread.

Therefore, after silk is processed, it will be extremely expensive. A good piece of silk can be sold for hundreds of taels.

These are things that ordinary people would never dare to touch in their lives.

Due to the disasters in the past two years, cotton and linen have been unable to be satisfied. There is insufficient raw materials and cloth cannot be woven.

I went to a friendly country to buy it, but the friendly country just raised the price.This is the difficulty for the owner of Buzhuang.

Raw materials are expensive, but their selling prices cannot rise. Excluding labor, they are basically losing money.

After listening to Boss Yuan's words, Gu Qiqi realized that it was indeed the case. The original owner was from the north. Some people in the north could grow their own cotton, but it basically met the needs of their own families.

Later they went to the south, where more hemp was grown.

But whether it was the south or the north, she seemed to have never seen anyone raising silkworms.

Yes, otherwise, there wouldn’t be no mulberries to sell.

Because she had never thought about doing business in this area, she did not learn more about it.

Since time travel, her research has basically been on eating.

It seems that after this time she paid more attention to other aspects.

You see, this understanding is not another big business.

After listening to Boss Yuan's words, Gu Qiqi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Boss Yuan. Maybe you don't have to worry about the raw materials of silk starting from this year. As for cotton, maybe this year, maybe next year, in short, these problems have been solved in the past two years." can be addressed.”

She can arrange to raise the silkworms, and then even if she doesn't open a workshop, she can sell the cocoons directly.

Or you can open your own processing workshop and process silk threads.

She has space for the mulberry trees, so she can just graft a batch of them. As for the silkworm seeds, she has to find Nangong Ye.

When she goes out, she can just go to any country that imports silk threads to our country to get some and raise them.

Cotton has high requirements on the planting environment. In the modern world, Xinjiang is the largest cotton planting base.

The country that can import cotton to our country now should also be rich in cotton.

When Nangong Ye and the others recover that country, it will no longer be classified as import and export goods, and the price will be relatively cheaper.

However, sericulture is not suitable in the north.

It can be arranged in Jiangdu City at that time.

Speaking of Jiangducheng, Gu Qiqi immediately had a good venue for her to choose.

That was the place where Jianshan Village took refuge during previous disaster relief operations.

Their original village was flooded and turned into a lake.

Later, we moved to the mountains, which is not suitable for growing rice. Last year, the villagers planted corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.

Then it is sold and replaced with rice.

That location is on a mountain and has a wide area. It is perfect to open up wasteland and plant mulberry trees for silkworm breeding.

Leave it to the villagers to raise, and it can also give them some new income.

Boss Yuan was overjoyed after hearing Gu Qiqi's words and said, "With Mrs. Fulu's words, I believe you, so I can wait."

Gu Qiqi: "Okay."
