Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 83; Designated division of labor

Although she was surprised, she could still accept it.

After all, it was normal for vegetables to be more expensive than grain and meat in previous lives.

What surprised her was that because Yu Chao's money was so valuable, it could have such an outrageous price.

Immediately, she silently calculated in her heart that she could now produce three to five hundred kilograms of vegetables for sale in her greenhouse.

One catty is fifteen cents, ten catties is one hundred and fifty cents, and one hundred catties is five cents.

Five hundred kilograms is seven to five pounds, and if it grows a little longer, it can produce a lot more.

This seems to be quite profitable.

Of course, if you want to continue to make money, you must also replenish while harvesting, so that there is a continuous supply. For pakchoi, which has a short growth cycle, it can be continuously cultivated and transplanted.

Then you can sell them one crop after another, and the ones you reserve cannot be eaten all at once. There will also be a cycle in it. As long as you cooperate well, it can almost be said that it will last for a long time in the future. During the time, she was able to sell a lot of vegetables one after another.

Her total investment was less than [-] yuan, which was a very profitable sum.

"Is this easy to sell? How about we get some and try them in the city?"

"There is no need to change the price. How about just selling it at fifteen cents per catty?"

Huo Junyao stared at Hongxiu with burning eyes.

"Of course it's easy to sell. When I went to inquire today, I heard that several servants from several houses were inquiring about buying it. Once there is news, I believe they will arrive as soon as possible."

"It's just that these fifteen cents per catty, I think it's a little cheap to sell it."

"Fifteen cents was reasonable in the past. After all, there are a few vegetables that come from the south, but this year is different. We are exclusive. I think we can increase the price appropriately."

As soon as these words came out, Huo Junyao's eyes changed when she looked at Hong Xiu.

"I didn't see it, Hong Xiu, you are quite business-savvy, not bad. How about I leave all business matters to you in the future?"

"Thank you for your praise and trust, Miss. I will try my best to handle it well."

Hongxiu was also very happy. This was considered to be recognized by the lady.

"Then tell me, how much should we price per pound?"

"How about twenty coins?"

"Twenty cents?"

Huo Junyao thought about it and felt that the price was not too high. Those buyers should be able to accept it, right?
Just as she was discussing with Hongxiu how to buy and sell vegetables, a carriage had already left the capital and headed straight for them.

When Wangxia, Xiaochan and the others brought out three boxes of vegetables with their servants, the old woman guarding the porter came to report that someone was coming from the palace.

Huo Junyao was a little surprised when she heard that someone was coming from the palace, and hurriedly asked Xiaochan to invite Princess Ningyang.

She was busy with vegetables here, but the eldest princess Ningyang did not come to interfere. Instead, she was reading in the living room of Huo Junyao's small courtyard.

After hearing Xiaochan say that someone was coming from the palace, Princess Ningyang was quite calm.

"Just go and invite someone in."

Not long after, a white-faced man in his 30s came in from outside. As soon as he stood still, he quickly saluted the eldest princess and Huo Junyao.

The voice was very high-pitched, and he sounded like a chamberlain from the palace.

"What did you come all the way here for?"

The eldest princess asked curiously.

"Go back to your Royal Highness, Princess Zhaode. I am the purchasing manager of the Imperial Kitchen. On the order of the Queen, I came over to Princess Zhaode to purchase some vegetables."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao's eyes lit up. It's such a good relationship. It's much more convenient to have someone come to purchase than to go to the capital to sell.

Huo Junyao glanced at Hong Xiu, who immediately understood what she meant.Naturally, it is not easy for the master to ask about this kind of thing, and she, the slave, has to do it. After all, Huo Junyao just said that she would handle all business matters.

"I wonder how much my father-in-law plans to buy this time? What is the price?"

"This vegetable is not as good as the others. It's cold now and I can't keep it. So I'm planning to buy it for a long time. I wonder if it's okay to buy it at twenty pounds a day?"

It's freezing outside now, so it's really not suitable to buy too much. If you don't store it well, you can easily get frostbite.

In addition, it is not far from the capital, so it is convenient to come here every day.

"This is fine, but how much does it cost?"

"The price was mentioned by the Queen before we came here, just let Princess Zhaode decide it."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao felt happy. Did the queen's aunt come all the way to support her and give her money?

After thinking about it, Huo Junyao gave Hong Xiu another look.

"The vegetables our lady made are still in the fields and picked every day. They are much fresher than the vegetables sent from the south."

"How about twenty cents per pound?"

When the father-in-law in charge heard the price, he was very satisfied, but he didn't ask for a high price, and what the other party said was true. This thing is indeed fresher than the one from the south.

The next thing is much simpler. The palace sends people to pick up the goods every morning, and the money is settled on the same day.

After finalizing everything, the father-in-law didn't stay long. He took the vegetables that Wang Xia and the others picked just now and left after paying.

Huo Junyao was quite happy when four hundred coins were credited to her account.

He immediately said, "From now on, I will give Hongxiu the full authority to handle this transaction. You should register the amount of money earned from the transaction every day and hand it over to Grandma Xi to put it in the treasury."

"Auntie Xi, from now on, you will be fully responsible for the cashier and income of Zhuangzi. You must keep detailed accounts and send them to me on the first of every month."

Hongxiu and Aunt Xi quickly bowed to answer.

The eldest princess beside her also nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Originally, she was thinking about finding an opportunity to teach her daughter how to manage a family well, but now it seems that there is no need. She thinks this arrangement for her daughter is quite good.

Hongxiu is responsible for external business matters, and the money earned is handed over to Grandma Xi to find a steward, which will be used for the up and down operations of the villa. The inside and outside are separated and the handover is clear.

You don’t have to do everything by yourself, you only need to check the accounts at the beginning of the month to have an idea.

"From now on in this villa, Princess Zhaode will be your master. Whatever she arranges for you, just follow it and execute it. Don't go against the rules, otherwise I will not be lenient when I know about it."

"Yes, this slave must remember Her Royal Highness the Princess's instructions."

All the slaves in the villa quickly bowed to answer.

At this time, Huo Junyao spoke again: "Since today's talk has come to this, I am thinking about dividing the work for you."

"Forget Summer."

"The servant is here."

Wang Xia quickly stood up.

"In recent times, you have been in charge of the greenhouse, and you have done a good job, which makes me feel relieved. In the future, you will still be responsible for this area, maybe you can do a good job?"

"My slave must do my best and not let the young lady worry."

Wang Xia was also very interested in the greenhouse, especially when she saw the green vegetables growing vigorously day by day, which made her feel more fulfilled than ever before.

Although it was a bit hard working in the fields, the young lady went there every day. How could she, a slave, have the right to say it was hard?

On the contrary, taking care of the greenhouse for her master is what she should do more.
