Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 199 Don’t forget your original intention
After the wedding date was set, Li Xiao started busy making money.

During the first month of the year, she had an idea and thought of a good way to make money: down jackets.

However, there were not many materials at that time, so except for a small down vest for each person in the family, no matter how much there was, I couldn't get it out at the moment.

After the beginning of spring, Li Xiao specially asked Li Dashan to buy a lot of ducks and geese, surrounded a large orchard in each of the two farms, and started her breeding business again.

At the end of June, with the help of Ouyang Yiyun, Li Xiao opened a small workshop in the south of the city, mainly collecting and processing duck and goose feathers.

Although I raise a lot of ducks and geese on my farm, I can’t eat so many of them, so most of them are sold to restaurants.

Li Xiao naturally asked Gao Zhuang and Li Cunliang to make agreements with major restaurants, and all duck and goose feathers would be used to offset part of the payment.

In addition, Gao Zhuang and the others also found a few smart little beggars to collect duck and goose feathers. Although they did not receive much each time, they gathered less and made more. Over time, the harvest was also considerable. .

In early September, the amount of duck and goose feathers collected and processed in the workshop was sufficient. Li Xiao went to Yahang and bought a few more women who were better at embroidery and started making down jackets.

The down jacket Li Xiao planned to make mainly consisted of a vest, lining, and down warm pants. The requirements for needlework were not high. The woman bought from the dental shop was enough to meet her requirements, and she held the other party's hand in her hand to sell herself. Deed, more assured.

As for outerwear, she only planned to find a way to try it out after stocking up on the first three items.

After all, this coat is not like the lining of the vest. You don't need to consider the pattern. When the time comes, I'm afraid I will need to hire one or two better embroiderers.

Purely hand-made cutting and sewing is not like the mechanized production of previous generations. It requires more time and energy.

The two people in charge of needlework in the family were also temporarily put into the workshop by Li Xiao, and they made clothes together every day.

After the wedding date was set, Li Xiao quietly asked Ouyang Yiyun for the measurements of the two elders in the palace, as well as his brother and sister-in-law. He even asked Ouyang Yiyun to inquire about the two eldest masters in the palace. .

In one month, the goods in Tun were not much, but not much.So until the end of October, Li Xiao supervised on-site every day, while the women in charge of garment making worked wholeheartedly on sewing a batch of down jackets made of precious materials.

Ouyang Yiyun naturally knew that Li Xiao was busy with down jackets, and also knew that she was preparing gifts for her family, and her heart was full of sweetness.

So as long as he has time, he will go to the workshop to accompany her.Of course, most of the time, he was busy with the things at hand.

Because Li Xiao's family moved to the capital, he has assigned the task of inspecting the area south of Jiangnan Mansion to several senior managers at the end of the year.

But in Jiangnan Mansion and the area north of it, he still needs to find time to visit two or three places.

Li Xiao knew that Ouyang Yiyun was very busy, so even if she hadn't seen him for ten days and a half, she wouldn't be pretentious. After all, she was also very busy, wasn't she?
In addition to the down jacket workshop, Li Xiao also opened a small shop called "Xiao Xiao Caizhuang". Of course, it not only sells vegetables, but also chicken, duck and fish!
However, after October, the advantages of vegetable greenhouses come out.

Since October, green leafy vegetables have become very scarce in the capital city. However, Jixiang Restaurant, which cooperates with Li Xiao, has no shortage of all kinds of vegetables!

This situation quickly attracted the attention of colleagues, and even some noble families began to ask the owner of Jixiang Restaurant where their vegetables came from.

As a result, the "Little Vegetable Shop" became famous and orders began to flow from it.

Thanks to Li Xiao's foresight, Li Dashan started working in the vegetable greenhouses in August. Now, in the greenhouses on the two farms, all kinds of vegetables have grown, and they are shiny, tender, and green, which makes people love it.The main thing is that for Li Xiao, it's all money!

Making money is Li Xiao's "original intention" after she came to this world. She always reminds herself that she must never forget her original intention!
In my hometown in the south, dragon fruit and other businesses are still booming, and it can be said that there is a lot of money.Naturally, she cannot be left behind in the capital.

The vegetable greenhouse is one of the ways she earns money, and it is obvious that it is now starting to "attract money" for her.

Vegetables are not expensive, but the point is that what Li Xiao has now is no longer on the market.

So it's only October, and the prices of vegetables in "small vegetable farms" are [-] to [-]% higher than the original market price.

At the end of October and the beginning of November, the price of vegetables doubled. In mid-to-late November, the price of vegetables continued to rise. By the beginning of December, the price of vegetables at the "small vegetable farm" had already doubled several times!

Li Xiao was so happy that his eyes almost narrowed into slits.

Time goes back to October for a moment.

In late October, Ouyang Yiyun left Beijing and went to Jiangnan Mansion for inspection, while Li Xiao continued to keep an eye on the down jacket workshop.

Duck and goose feathers are still being collected. On October 29, after the batch of down jackets that Li Xiao requested to be made carefully was completed, the women continued to make clothes and stock up.

The batch of finished down jackets was taken away directly by Li Xiao. Also leaving were the two embroiderers at home. They had to rush to buy some winter clothes for the family.

Min Shulan's fetus was already three months old and the condition was very stable, so she started walking around the house every day, and occasionally helped Li Yuan and Li Xiao with small things.

At this time, she was in Li Xiao's house, helping Li Yuan sort out the batch of down jackets that had been rushed out.

Each set of down jackets includes a vest, lining, and thermal pants, and each item has a small piece of paper stapled with needle and thread, with the measurements on it.

What Li Xiao and the other three have to do now is to sort out the three-piece set according to the size of each person in the book, and then pack it in a customized gift box.

There is a lot of stuff, but the three of us can sort it out quickly.

After everything was sorted, Li Xiao handed four of the sets to Min Shulan.

"Sister-in-law, this is for my in-laws' grandma, in-laws' grandfather, in-laws' father-in-law and in-laws' mother." Seeing Min Shulan's surprised face, she continued to smile: "I won't give them to my brothers and sisters. I have to let them support me." My business is good!"

Min Shulan was happy when she heard this. She touched the gift boxes in front of her with her fingers and said with a smile, "Well, when the time comes, I'll let them all go!"

The batch of things Li Xiao prepared was not only for the Min family, but also for Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi.As for the third brother and his senior brothers, although everything was ready, Li Xiao planned to let the third brother "spend some blood" and treat it as a gift from himself.

For the rest, there is one set for each person in Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion, a total of eight sets. The two eldest masters in the palace have prepared two sets each.
