Chapter 90: Widow Luo regrets, big business surprises Liu family

Miss Liu's husband is the county magistrate, and he is also the old lady's birthday return gift. There are many guests visiting, and each family has two return gifts, which makes a total of 180 gifts.

In addition, Mr. Liu's 50th birthday was coming up, and they had to prepare gifts, so they placed an order for 300 gift boxes.

Among them, they said that some of them should be made into high-end gift boxes.

Willow Warbler Yue quoted two prices.

Forty-eight cents is ordinary, and eighty-eight cents is high-end.

There are 220 ordinary ones and 80 high-end ones.

The total price is more than 17,000 wen, which is about ten taels of silver. After deducting the cost, I can make at least 13 or 14 taels of profit.

This amount alone is equivalent to Qin Xiuzhu's monthly income.

After agreeing on the delivery date and receiving a deposit of five taels of silver from the Liu family, Liu Yingyue happily left Liujiazhuang.

"We have to go back quickly and tell Xiuzhu the good news. She was complaining about the lack of business, but now business is here," Liu Yingyue said excitedly.

Qin Yiran looked at her money-loving expression with deep eyes.

How much ability does she have that he doesn't know? -
Back in the shop, Liu Yingyue told Qin Xiuzhu about the Liu family's business.

Qin Xiuzhu was so shocked that her eyes widened and she was speechless.

Liu Huaiyue blinked, "Sister, is this true? With so many orders, are you going to get rich?"

Chen Baian smiled and said, "Mrs. Ying is really amazing. She said she would bring in orders, and she really did. Xiuzhu, now you don't have to worry about having no business, right?"

"Xiuzhu, this is Yingyue's credit." Qin Yiran also said.

Qin Xiuzhu came back to her senses from her surprise. "Ah, yes, yes, yes. By the way, Yingyue, how many pancakes do you want to make? How do you make them?"

Because Liu Yingyue said that the cakes in the gift box cannot be the same as those sold separately, otherwise the high value of the gift box will not be reflected.

Even ordinary pancakes have to be made differently from those sold individually.

"Make 220 regular ones, add peanuts and winter melon candy crumbs inside, and then make another 80 of the same kind, but make them bigger. Don't make the cakes in the usual round shape. It's better to make them in plum blossom or four-leaf clover shapes."

Worried that Qin Xiuzhu would not remember, Liu Yingyue drew a sketch of the arrangement of the cakes in the gift box.

Moreover, it is drawn in a one-to-one ratio.

Qin Xiuzhu nodded, "It's not difficult."

Seeing Liu Huaiyue standing aside, looking at him with wide eyes and envy, Liu Yingyue patted her shoulder and said, "Help together, and I'll give you some when the time comes."

Although Liu Huaiyue was learning how to make cakes, he was a slow learner and a slow cooker. After deducting the cost, he only earned ten or twenty cents a day.

It’s much less than Chen Baian’s salary.

She didn't want to do it anymore.

It would be better to let her experience the joy of Qin Xiuzhu's sudden wealth first, and then encourage her to do this business as well.

"How much?" Liu Huaiyue looked expectant.

"Xiuzhu, how much do you plan to give her?" Liu Yingyue asked Qin Xiuzhu.

Qin Xiuzhu is the head shopkeeper, and Liu Huaiyue has to help out as a laborer, but the wages must be determined by Qin Xiuzhu.

Qin Xiuzhu didn't like this lazy relative, so she raised her eyebrows and said, "Huaiyue, if you do the same amount of work as Baian, I will pay you according to his wages."

"It's a deal!" Liu Huaiyue rubbed his hands happily.

"If you want to get paid, go to work quickly. Soak the beans first. Oh, and soak more." Qin Xiuzhu ordered.

"But there are not many beans left. There is only a small bowl of red beans, and no green beans left." Liu Huaiyue went into the kitchen and ran back to say.

"Then I have to buy some." Qin Xiuzhu touched her purse. When she thought about buying several kilograms of beans and spending a large sum of money, she sighed with some heartache.

Seeing her embarrassment, Liu Yingyue said, "Don't buy it yet. Let's go to the village to buy some. The price in the village is cheaper."

The beans sold at the market are also collected from the villagers. By buying directly from the villagers, the price difference in the middle is eliminated.

Qin Xiuzhu said, "Then we have to hurry back to the village."

Liu Yingyue turned to look for the donkey cart, only to see Qin Yiran had already harnessed the donkey cart. He nodded at her and said, "Get on board. The sooner you leave, the sooner you'll be back."

The car was covered with cushions, and in a basket were two jars of Liu Lizheng's favorite kaoliang wine and a piece of braised pig's trotter.

Liu Yingyue looked up at the sky.

It’s getting late today, and it will be dark when we get back to the village, so we have to come back tomorrow.
-
Return to the village.

People greeted them along the way.

The news that Liu Yingyue and the Qin family opened a shop together spread throughout the village.

Being able to open a shop is already very impressive, but they not only opened a shop, but bought a shop.

This is even more enviable.

You know, the money to buy a shop can buy three or four small houses in the village.

As their donkey cart passed by, people began to chat even louder.

Someone smiled and said to a woman who was washing vegetables, "Sister-in-law Luo, why did you reject the marriage proposal from the Liu family? If your son marries the youngest daughter of the Liu family, won't he be able to reap some benefits? Can Yingyue not bring your son to do business? I heard that little sister Yingyue is also working in the shop. That girl is smarter than the girl from the Qin family. She is obviously a good manager. Whoever marries her will enjoy happiness."

"Yes, she is much better than the girl from the Huang family that you like."

They were talking about Liu Huaiyue.

Liu Huaiyue is notoriously lazy.

When she was in the shop, she would lie down and never sit properly. When others were working, she would lie down and sleep, or roll up her sleeves and watch the kids next door fighting.

But no matter what, the Liu family is well-off, and Liu Yingyue has opened a shop. Marrying her may not make him rich, but at least he will bring some wealth to the family.

But Widow Luo thought her son could pass the imperial examination and became a scholar, so she scolded Madam Liu in front of her and drove her away.

Those villagers who disliked Widow Luo would find every opportunity to ridicule her.

Widow Luo sighed in annoyance.

If she had known earlier, she would have agreed to the Liu family's marriage proposal. Now she has agreed to the Huang family's proposal and she regrets it so much.

I thought I had picked up a great bargain. The Huang family is rich, and the Huang family's cousin must not be bad.

But who would have thought that the Huang family would only give five taels of dowry. Not only was the Huang girl old, she was also fat, short, and had a pockmarked face. After the son learned about the Huang girl's appearance, he was so angry that he couldn't eat or sleep well every day.

And I can’t cancel the engagement.

If I cancel this engagement, where can I find someone better?

"You know shit! The Huang family is much stronger than the Liu family! She is the niece of the wealthy man!" Widow Luo was annoyed and unconvinced. She glared at the women, then turned around and went back with the washed vegetables.

Behind him, the women's cheerful laughter could be heard. "You are still stubborn!"
-
Qin Yiran still sent Liu Yingyue home first.

When the Liu family saw the two of them coming back together, they took them apart and interrogated them separately.

Liu Dalang asked Qin Yiran where he lived these days and what he was busy with.

Qin Yiran knew that this was a question asking him whether he had done anything out of line with Liu Yingyue.

The Liu family takes care of Liu Yingyue more than they value gold and silver.

"The shop has two floors. The girls live on the second floor, and I live on the first floor to keep watch. When I'm free, I help my sister buy some fabrics and beans to entertain customers." Qin Yiran answered naturally and handed over two jars of wine and braised pig's trotters wrapped in oil paper.

Liu Dalang was too embarrassed to ask again, so he took the food in his hand and said awkwardly, "You are very polite. We don't lack vegetables."

Madam Liu and Liu Jiang stared at Liu Yingyue and carefully questioned her whether Qin Yiran followed her all day and whether he treated her badly.

Most likely it was Madam Liu who asked, and Mrs. Liu Jiang echoed her.

As long as we talk about Qin Yiran, there's no end to it.

Liu Yingyue knew her family's temper very well, so she simply didn't answer directly, and only said, "A few days ago, Qin Yiran and I helped Mr. Liu from Liujia Village find his son. Mr. Liu agreed to do business with us and placed a large order worth more than ten taels of silver. I'm back now, and I want to buy some beans from the village to make fillings for the cakes. The market is too expensive, not worth it. Mother, do we have beans at home? I want 50 kilograms of red beans and mung beans each, and 10 kilograms of sesame seeds."

Madam Liu was stunned when she heard this. "What? You can earn ten taels?"

"Is it true? Yingyue? Mr. Liu is so generous?" Liu Jiangshi also widened her eyes when she heard it.

"I'm in a hurry. I have to get back to the shop. Xiuzhu is waiting for the beans. Huaiyue has been much more obedient these days. Xiuzhu is teaching Huaiyue how to make cakes. Before long, she will be able to work on her own and make a lot of money." Liu Yingyue picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of water and said.
