delicious little cook

Chapter 654 Starting a New Business
When Bai Kou returned to the mansion, seeing that the son had come back, she told him about the new things in Xi Le Fang, and had a good time together.

The residents tied themselves and the interests of the factory together. This was really a surprise. After hearing this, Gu Yun couldn't stop laughing. By the way, he also told Bai Kou that after all Ning Peilan took over the land issue. Heaven will send someone to the yamen to look up the fish scale map

Well, until there is definite news, Bai Kou can take a break from this matter for a while, and instead focus on the inner house. The second bedroom's full moon banquet and the prince's celebration banquet are coming one after another. write a copy.

Seeing that Bai Kou was still too busy to stop, Gu Yun was very glad that he had spared her from taking charge of the job in advance, otherwise he would not know how busy he was.

The East Kitchen knew that the prince had given the order, that Bai Kou would not be in charge of the cooking, but only write the menu, and the chef and the cook would cook the dishes themselves. If something happened, it would prove that they didn't learn Bai Kou's skills at all, and they might be fired.

Who is willing to go home and eat themselves if they are doing well? Everyone in the East Kitchen tensed up and carefully prepared the two big banquets in the house. Solve it, but no longer go into the kitchen to get a spatula.

Because it was the order from the son, the eldest lady didn't ask why. Everyone can see how busy Bai Kou is now. Gu Yun has developed rapidly in the past two years, but his subordinates have not had time to cultivate competent talents. Still only Bai Kou is available, compared to the big events outside, the banquet is nothing if not in charge.

After dinner, Gu Xu came to look for Gu Yun and told him that he also wanted to join the gang, but he couldn't let his mother know, lest he would nag again.

"Third brother, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I, a lucky man, have a limited salary, but my expenses are really high. If it weren't for the support of my father-in-law, I would never be able to raise three children who are waiting to be fed. The monthly salary is all spent. Your sister-in-law will have to pay for the purchase of the land.”

Gu Xu smiled wryly, feeling exhausted in his heart. Because the sons born to the two common houses were not listed in the genealogy, all the expenses of raising the children were paid by him alone, and he could not get the care of the public. His money is spent, and at the same time he also needs money for entertainment among his colleagues.

"Who can blame this? You were so resolute at the time that you didn't want to have the following things. You only had two concubines in just one month of marriage. Have you ever thought about how wronged sister-in-law is? Have you ever respected the married Gan family?" A family? Is this something that a first-class family like us can do?"

"I really knew I was wrong. I used to concentrate on studying and never thought about these things."

Gu Yun very much disagreed with Gu Xu's defense, everything was the fault of the second aunt and his intercourse, and he, the eldest son of the second wife, had no faults at all, so what's the use of pretending to be innocent now.

"Well, I won't mention the mistakes I made before. Since you are determined to manage your family well, I will count you as one. When you copy the fish scale map, you can see for yourself how much land you are willing to subscribe, but the ugly words are up front. The money is not only for the purchase of land, but also for various constructions on the land. The money is paid according to the proportion of the land owned by each person. In the future, the income will be shared according to this proportion. Who will build what on the land will not know until then , can you accept the unified arrangement?"

"Okay, no problem, you decide everything, just say when you want me to contribute money and effort."

"Okay, wait for my news."

Gu Xu thanked her again and again, got up and resigned and went back, and quietly agreed with his wife. Fortunately, Gan is surrounded by her own dowry servants. If she wants to keep it secret, not a word will reach her mother-in-law's ears.

In the next few days, Gu Yun first invited the teachers and classmates from the prefectural school to have a banquet, and then there was a full moon banquet for the second room in Gu's mansion, and a celebration banquet for the long room, followed by a big banquet. It was lively for two days. The guests who ate the full moon wine did not forget to congratulate the long house, and many of them also brought cooperation letters to Gu Yun, hoping to do business together if they had the opportunity in the future.

Imperial merchants have their own difficulties, but while doing errands for the court, they can also reap a lot of benefits for themselves. Therefore, imperial merchants who do well are known as rich and powerful. If Gu Yun can stand at the top of the imperial merchant circle , that is really a rich and powerful young man.

The mansion is so lively but Bai Kou is not there. She is busy going to the factory to take care of the business. As expected, the medicine bottles customized by Songnantang are reworked again and again, making them more and more refined. At the same time, their pharmacy also customized a set of filling tools. What kind of tools are used in the workshop to fill glycerin, and the pharmacy of Songnantang also bought a pair of them, replacing the traditional old ones that they had used for many years.

Bai Kou is not troublesome at all, and she will do it herself if there is any problem. She wants to complete this business perfectly. In this way, the medicinal oil and potion of Songnantang will be the living advertisement of the factory, which will definitely attract more capable people. The medical center and the pharmacy came to place orders. It would be the best if they could attract orders from the Taiyuan Hospital. Their monthly drug production volume will be huge.

After the celebration banquet, Lidong is not far away. Glycerin is about to go on sale in a unified manner. The cooperative shops not only received sufficient goods, but also received new posters, which were posted on the notice boards to inform the residents in the workshop.

Ning Peilan also got a reply about asking her natal family to send someone to the yamen to check the map of fish scales. It is divided into east and west parts by a tributary connected with the river. There is no need for irrigation and breeding. The surrounding terrain is only low hills. For the sake of water, it is very convenient to build a few piers and travel to and from the capital by water.

The people of the Ning family not only went to see the site in person, but also copied back the fish scale map, and copied all the key points. In addition to drawing the outline map, they only marked the locations of tributaries, natural villages and hills, and the blank spaces were all wasteland. Anyone can see clearly.

Some of those natural villages are on the river bank, and some are far away from the water bank. There are five villages on the east and west banks. If you want to get all this wasteland, you must eat these five villages at the same time, otherwise sooner or later you will die. There are various disputes.

Ning Peilan asked people to draw a few copies according to the pictures, and gave one to Bai Kou. How to eat up the village safely requires everyone to discuss and discuss.

Bai Kou waited for the eldest son to get home, and showed him the picture. Gu Yun was very happy at first, but when he saw the five villages that must be obtained in the picture, he turned into a toothache expression.

"Why are there so many villages? Why do they want to live far away from human habitation?"

"These villages have existed for several generations, and there are even ancestral graves. The person who checked the fish scale map even went to the field, so he can't be wrong."

"Ah?! Then what should we do? How can we let them vacate the land?"

"The ancestral grave is here, how could they move away and give up the land? Unless Tucun is about the same."

"Nonsense, don't talk nonsense like this."

Gu Yun tapped the tip of Bai Kou's nose, rolled his eyes, and suddenly laughed.

"You must have a way."

"Of course there is a way." Bai Kou smiled, "Just spend the money if you are willing."
