Daughter of General

Chapter 45 Business Opportunities
Just as she was thinking about it, Shen Yulan heard Mama Lin say again: "Missy today has a very good attitude towards the girl next to Mrs. Guangwuhou's mansion. Mrs. Guangwuhou's wife is not only capable, but her son is also the eldest son. Not surprisingly, her status in the future can be imagined. There is always nothing wrong with making good friends with her. Although the status of being a girl is low, you must know that they happen to be the ones who can most influence Mrs. Guangwuhou. Sometimes a single sentence can influence Mrs. Guangwuhou's mind."

Shen Yulan took it for granted: "Mother Lin is very right." In this era, probably the most trustworthy and most reliable people are actually the people around you who serve you.What's more, I'm afraid that someone like her husband may not have the influence of the National People's Congress who serves her.After more than ten years of getting along, they have been together day and night, and the relationship established like that cannot be easily shaken.

"However, that fourth young master—has a bit of a feud with me." Shen Yulan thought for a while, and finally told what happened in the temple last time.Finally, he frowned and said: "Looking at the appearance of that fourth young master, I'm afraid he is a big-hearted man. Mrs. Guangwuhou loves that son very much."

Speaking of the fourth young master, Shen Yulan was most puzzled by the attitude of the monk and what the fourth young master said.

Not only Shen Yulan, but also Lin's mother felt very puzzled, and thought for a while: "Then I will have time tomorrow, so I will go quietly to inquire about it. I can't tell if there is something inside." Knowing yourself and your enemy is always right.

Sometimes, knowing more, some mistakes can be avoided in advance.Don't make mistakes out of ignorance.

Shen Yulan nodded and smiled: "Then I'll trouble Mom. I'll get a few hundred dollars later, and I'll be able to eat tea and fruit." Naturally, you can't do things like inquiring about information empty-handed.It is worth the necessary effort.

Mother Lin smiled and agreed.

Shen Yulan had almost finished eating at this time, but there were still several dishes on the table that hadn't been touched.When it comes to eating, Guo has never done anything tricky.There are some elsewhere, and she naturally has a lot here.There are at least seven or eight dishes for a meal. Although the portions are not large, they are not small.So, there is always a lot left.

Shen Yulan pointed at the untouched dishes and said with a smile: "I haven't touched these dishes, so Mama Lin can take them back for your son to eat. Otherwise, it's okay to serve wine to you." Mama Lin's meal is Used in her yard, three meals a day.However, she also has to work all day.Therefore, naturally I have no time to cook for my family.

Shen Yulan heard what Mama Lin said once, and knew that Mama Lin's son had always cooked by himself, or after Wang Li cooked, that's what he did. There are so many dishes, she doesn't like it, of course she doesn't have to. move.Moreover, with so much left, it doesn't matter if Mama Lin packs it up and takes it home.

Moreover, she had seen Mrs. Guo reward the girl and mother-in-law with unfinished meals.Even better ones are eaten.She felt that since she was going to be taken back by someone, she tried her best not to touch it.Always feel more comfortable.

The ones she moved - belonged to the little girls in the house.Fortunately, no one disliked anything.In fact, Shen Yulan understands - what is there to dislike?Although the Shen family didn't treat the servants harshly, there was no reason to give the servants chicken, duck and fish all at once.It's vegetables, and they won't be too delicate.It's all about how to save trouble.Therefore, the servings of people in the mansion can only be said to be full, not good.

Therefore, even if she ate the leftovers, no one would dislike her—of course, it has something to do with the concept.These girls, on the contrary, regard it as an honor to eat her leftovers.

She was a little puzzled, so Mother Lin quietly suggested: "Miss, you might as well think about the girls around your wife. The rest of your wife's food is only given to those few. Others are not qualified. "

Mother Lin herself was also very moved by Shen Yulan's thoughtful behavior - the feeling of this kind of thing once or twice, and always like this, is different.

Shen Yulan thought about it sincerely, and naturally she would only get a more loyal professor and allegiance from Mama Lin.Of course, not only Lin's mother read Shen Yulan's number, but even Wang Li was very grateful.

This is more pleasing than giving them money directly - firstly, it shows how much Shen Yulan values ​​them, and secondly, it also shows Shen Yulan's respect for their husband and wife.What's more, the couple have been working on errands for the Shen family all day long, so they really don't have much time to take care of their son.So watching his son always fool around with his own behavior, it feels like a needle is pricking his heart.

Although it was just a little food, it meant that Shen Yulan was really thinking about them.So, how can the couple not be moved?

Shen Yulan naturally knew about this effect - that's what she wanted.But what she did was not pretending.Instead, I really thought about it and really wanted to help.In fact, this is a simple truth: heart for heart.

If you want people to treat you wholeheartedly, you naturally have to give.Money is certainly useful, and it works very well.But no matter how you say it, it doesn't have a good effect.

Mother Lin is not here to watch at night.So after serving Shen Yulan and having dinner, he went home.

After Shen Yulan and Jin He walked around the yard a few times to digest food, they asked the maids to set up reclining chairs on the porch to cool off.

While eating melons, Shen Yulan remembered that today Mrs. Guangwuhou asked the girl to ask for the address.After talking about the melon purchase, Zisu was so happy that the corners of Zisu's lips would go behind her ears: "This is great, brothers can finally eat better."

Since the Marquis of Guangwu's mansion wanted to buy melons, they certainly wouldn't just buy a few.For such a big family, all purchases are calculated by car.Moreover, the price is also adequate.

Seeing Zisu's happy look, Shen Yulan was also in a good mood. After thinking for a while, she ordered: "Go home tomorrow and tell your parents the news. In addition, the price of melons can be higher, but for you You must not save the steward's red envelope." As long as you win over the steward, you will naturally think of them when you buy melons in the future.It's a win-win thing.

"But there's not much money for a carload of melons, and we still have to keep our capital. I'm afraid people will look down on that little money?" Zisu hesitated.

Shen Yulan shook her head: "Then let your father tell the steward quietly. Your family only needs [-]% of the market price. As for the higher part, it is the tea money for the steward. As for whether it is true that the steward finally left behind? There's only the remaining [-]%. You don't have to think about it. This is someone's ability. You deserve it. Besides, it's not your money. You don't have to feel bad. "

If the steward wants to get more money for himself, firstly, he can go back and quote a high price, and secondly, he can persuade the master to buy more.Regardless of the method, it is someone else's business anyway.

Zisu nodded, and smiled again: "When I came back, I brought some honeydew melons back. I planted a few plants. They didn't bear any fruit, so I couldn't sell them. The melons were also small, but they were quite golden. It looks good. I just don’t know if it can be eaten. But it’s good to take it back and put it on a plate.”

When Shen Yulan heard this description, her heart moved slightly—"Isn't this common here? Where did you get the seeds?"

"Last year, my father worked part-time at the pier. He was also lucky. He met a group of barbarians. They looked scary. Their eyes were green and their hair was yellow. No one dared to approach them. My father was very courageous. I heard that they There were people waiting on the boat, and I was given a lot of money, so I went. Those barbarians ate this kind of melon. My father took back the melon seeds they didn’t want. He asked to see if it could be planted, which is strange.” Zisu said with a smile, and finally said: "Others say that those are actually transformed by monsters."

Shen Yulan laughed "puchi": "What monsters are not monsters? Those are human too. They just look different from us. But your father is really bold and far-sighted. That melon is a good thing. You don't It’s a waste. When it’s mature, save the seeds and grow more next year, maybe you can sell them for a good price, and you can make a fortune.”

Shen Yulan spoke seriously, but others didn't quite believe it.Especially Zisu, when Shen Yulan was talking and joking, he sighed and said: "What's the use of good things? Our family only has so much land, and the family's rations are all on it. There is really no way this year." , there is no food for her seeds, so I had no choice but to plant this."

Shen Yulan understood what that meant - as long as there were grain seeds, their family would not dare to grow these crops that could not be eaten as food.Even if the money from the final sale can be exchanged for food for the whole family, they would rather grow food.

This is a difference in concept.Shen Yulan can understand it.After all, the old ideas passed down from generation to generation are deeply ingrained and cannot be easily changed.

"You can mention it to your father. If he is not willing, you can ask him. If someone buys that kind of seed with money, ask him to help plant it. You can even rent your own land together. Then it will be converted into food or silver for you. Of course, I will also give you wages for helping to grow melons. Not only wages, but also dividends after the melons are sold. The wages will be paid according to the market price outside. Your father, your mother , your brother, as long as he can contribute, it counts." Shen Yulan said slowly after pondering for a moment, with a serious face on his face, without the slightest meaning of joking.

Zisu agreed, but her expression was still a little restless and hesitant.Probably because he didn't understand what Shen Yulan was trying to do.

Jin He on the side was also puzzled, but in front of the maids, she still didn't ask, and just held back quietly.

They chatted and laughed for a while, and when the hour was almost up, it seemed that it was time to go to bed.Jin He pulled Shen Yulan into the room, frowned and asked, "Yulan, what do you want to do?"
