Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 332
As for what is going on now, Rong Shui has been at home for the past few days, following Li's rule of not leaving the gate and not entering the second gate, so he has not heard anything.

Zhang Mingming said to Rongshui: "Big Boss! There is already a problem with the purchase of our raw materials. The price of food in various places is increasing. The previous cost budget has increased, and... the business has also been affected. The number of people coming to buy fried chicken ... is decreasing day by day."

It is not surprising that the problems mentioned by Zhang Mingming are water-resistant. In a turbulent situation, it is an inevitable law for the catering business to decline.

So she unhurriedly poured tea for Zhang Mingming, and said, "Don't worry, take your time... The business problems are basically declining. I mainly want to hear about the problems in the city in recent days. Are there any rumors and events?"

Rong Shui has always been a quiet person in times of chaos, because his parents were worried and ordered the children in the family to reduce going out, Rong Shui really stayed at home obediently for a few days, drinking tea and practicing calligraphy, doing Do something about self-cultivation.

So she doesn't know what's going on outside now, Zhang Mingming said: "The Dadong family really stays in this Rong's house all day long, and doesn't care about world affairs? You know, a few days ago, there were several imperial decrees in the capital, It is because of these few imperial decrees that the people of Jiangcheng are becoming more and more uneasy."

This statement aroused Rong Shui's curiosity, so he asked, "What is the imperial decree?"

Zhang Mingming said: "Big boss, it is written in the imperial decree that taxes will be increased. The rise of ordinary people is not big, which has already aroused strong dissatisfaction from everyone. Now they are going to impose a large amount of taxes on us merchants! It is a full increase. Doubled! Then our profit will be very meager!"

It turned out that it was the increase in taxes... In fact, this matter... was not beyond her expectations. The situation at the border was so unstable, it was understandable for Emperor Jiazheng to make preparations before going to war.

It just seems... this year's business, don't lose too much money.

She signaled Zhang Mingming to be calm, and then slowly said: "Now the whole city knows about the war, and the time is not far away. Zhang Mingming, if you are impatient and can't solve the problem, then reduce the daily supply." Measures such as volume and purchase volume should be taken to minimize losses."

Zhang Ming obviously didn't expect Rong Shui to speak so calmly... She was as calm as she told Cheng Qijun about the closing of Shuangxia Villa not long ago.

It seemed like everything she had now was indifferent, caring... nothing could hold her attention.

Zhang Mingming wanted to ask Rong Shui something, he thought over and over again, and decided to say: "Master Rong's family... please forgive me, I don't think your mind is on the Rong family's property?"

Rong Shui paused while making tea, and after hearing Zhang Mingming's question, he looked up at him, and then nodded unobtrusively.

Said: "Zhang Mingming, you are right... It's not that I don't have any thoughts, but I feel that troubled times are coming... The glory, wealth and wealth, wearing gold and silver have all become like clouds in the past. It's good to be able to keep everything in front of you... There is no effort to think of some countermeasures."

That's right, it's Rong Shui like this... That's how she thinks, which makes people suspicious.

Zhang Mingming didn't know why the war would take away Rongshui's plan and fighting spirit to expand his business territory, but... he was a little unwilling.

Said: "Rong Dong's family...Actually, I don't understand why? The war has not yet happened, and besides...even if it did happen...the business may not be able to continue, right? Rong Dong's family, you obviously have so many abilities and skills !"

Maybe even Rong Shui himself doesn't know why now, this year he seems to be a person who has stopped moving forward, the previous reason may be because of Junli...but now after reuniting with Junli...it is still the same.

I don't know if it's mental fatigue...but in this life...she is clearly still young.

Seeing Zhang Mingming's still concerned and worried expression, Rong Shui said to him: "Zhang Mingming...you don't need to worry about me...maybe as you said, I can handle the property in hand at any time, but... ...I don't have to do that, right? You follow me...don't ask too much, because I don't understand these things very well...just know, do as I want gone."

Zhang Mingming wanted to say something else, but Rong Shui had already stopped him from speaking, and put away the teacup, obviously seeing off the guests.

Zhang obviously couldn't do anything... Originally, he was full of countermeasures to deal with the business decline, and wanted to tell Rong Shui to discuss the method together, but at this time he could only hold back.

No matter how determined the people under him are to do a big fight to save the situation... If the leader doesn't have the intention to do so... it's just a waste of time. Rongshui now chooses mediocre ways to hold the shop. Zhang, who is loyal to her Obviously only silently obey.

After Zhang Mingming left, Miss Rong entered Rongshui's room again, wearing a plain white double-breasted jacket, with a powder puffed face, and a small thermos pot in her hand.

He said to Rong Shui: "Second Sister, is Brother Zhang Mingming here to discuss business?"

Rong Shui nodded, and said: "Yes... But it's just that the business is not easy to do, and you are losing money again and again, little girl... Why are you carrying the stove in your arms again? Is it cold?"

Rong Xiaomei couldn't help Rongshui's business matters, and she was not that kind of material in her own life. Although she was a little worried about the Rong family's property at this time, but...all she could do was pray silently in her heart.

She pursed her lips... Thinking that the second sister was locked in the house every day, not knowing how freezing the wind and snow outside was, she said such sarcastic remarks.

She said: "Second sister, tell me how many days you have been locked in the house? Do you know how cold it is this year? Didn't you say that you will move to Shuangxia Villa for the winter? This winter is almost over... Also It’s not necessary to go to Shuangxia Villa to have a look at home.”

It turned out that Miss Rong came here to complain!Facing Xiaomei Rong's questioning, Rong Shui missed the appointment and had nothing to say.

She pulled Xiaomei Rong to her side to sit down, calming down her dissatisfaction.

Then he said to her: "Little sister, I almost forgot, maybe I was too busy before, and I kept forgetting about Zhang Luo, but... now, I can tell my parents that I am going to move there. "

When Miss Rong heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Really, Second Sister, can we really live in Shuangxia Villa?"

It's been a long time since Rong Xiaomei looked lively. I didn't expect this little girl to be full of yearning for Shuangxia Villa... I don't know why.

Thinking about it at the beginning... It was originally intended to build a family holiday villa on the wasteland that I bought.

But after the construction started, there was another idea to open to the outside world, to create an exquisite and quiet aristocratic "farmhouse", so that it gradually forgot the original intention...

Now let it return to the previous purpose... This is also very good, the money will not be earned, but it can still be used for the family to live and enjoy... Well, it seems to be better.

So the Rong family wanted to start moving their family to Shuangxia Villa.

Choosing a good day and auspicious day, Yi moved, hired two carriages and a few servants, packed some daily necessities, and moved to Shuangxia Villa in a low-key manner.

The original housekeeper, Wen Yongjiu, was still left in Jiangcheng. The old house was only temporarily vacant, and someone needed to stay to guard it. Moreover, Wen Yongjiu held an important position, but he couldn't be too far away from the city, otherwise everything would be inappropriate. up.

Therefore, after Wen Yongjiu sent the Rong family to Shuangxia Villa, he said his farewell words: "Master, Madam, Miss, and Young Masters, please take care of yourself. Yongjiu still has to sit in the city and guard the old house, so I can't serve you." Yes, but it's the same when ordering Cheng Qijun in the villa, this kid is serious and meticulous enough, besides, I have already trained him a few days ago, and he has already instructed what should be ordered."

After speaking, he pulled Cheng Qijun to the eyes of several people, intending to introduce him.

In fact, Cheng Qijun has been helping Rongshui for almost a year, but the Rong family is still a bit unfamiliar with him.

Because he is not like the previous few people, he is often active in the city and the Rong family, because his duty is to guard and coordinate the daily operation of Shuangxia Villa, so he can hardly leave this place all year round.

It's normal that Li Shi, Rong Zheng, Rong Xiaomei, including Rong Ming are all unfamiliar with him.

Fortunately, Cheng Qijun is a person who knows how to come. After Wen Yongjiu introduced him like this, he immediately stood up and said in a calm and generous manner: "Master, madam, my name is Cheng Qijun. From now on, you will be in Shuangxia Villa." Temporary housekeeper, Qi Jun will try his best to help everyone complete no matter what happens."

Cheng Qijun had a handsome and upright appearance, and when he saw him, Mrs. Li fell in love with this energetic young man.

Rong Zheng responded to Cheng Qijun on behalf of the whole family, and said: "Not bad kid, we all know about it, but our Rong family generally doesn't like to order servants too much, usually you just do your own thing."

Cheng Qijun nodded, in fact, he could tell without Rong Zheng saying that the Rong family's requirements were not high, and seeing that the two parents could raise a strange woman like Rong Shui, it wasn't that hard to deal with big family.

In the days to come, although there will be an additional responsibility to take care of the family, he doesn't find it troublesome or cumbersome.

After the introduction, Wen Yongjiu took the carriage back to the city, and Cheng Qijun led the way for his family.

Li Shi walked with Rong Shui, looking at Cheng Qijun who was leading the way safely, she asked curiously: "Shui'er, the people you recruited this time all look good, where did you find them?" ?”

Rong Shui was speechless for a while... She never told her family about the talents Zhao Yu cultivated for her in Huchangzhai.

The main reason is that I am afraid that my elder brother will have objections. Although Mrs. Li does not have such a big prejudice against Huchangzhai... But what should be paid attention to is to avoid causing troubles in vain.

So she said to Mrs. Li: "Mother, they are all from other counties. They come to Jiangcheng to make a living. Although Qi Jun is very young, he really does things as Uncle Jiu said."

Cheng Qijun has been working under him for a long time, and he admits his ability.
