Beautiful step by step

Chapter 62

Patriarch Yan did indeed come to give her money, Wei Wei looked at the flatbed truck in the backyard full of food.The sacks of millet were stacked high up to a height that made her tremble.

Patriarch Yan explained next to him: "Shedding chestnut rice is more troublesome, and the time is a bit tight, so the clansmen figured it out."

at this point……

Wei Wei wanted to make it the size of his own rice shop in the capital. It was only a small store. The reason why it sold so much was because of the large population in the capital and the high demand.But chestnut rice is a new variety, and the people's recognition is not high enough. If you want to open up the market at the beginning, you have to go some other way.

Opening one of the bags, Wei Wei took a look.The patriarch was really serious, the rice grains were plump and clean, even before the porridge was cooked, there was a scent of rice.

"The first batch of these is almost enough. By the way, the patriarch, in the future, this kind of rice cannot be called chestnut rice, but millet."

The patriarch asked doubtfully, "Xiaomi?"

"Well, Yanjia Village is located in the northwest, and there is plenty of sunshine throughout the summer. The chestnut rice we grow is millet that enjoys full sunshine and is more nutritious."

The boy from Yanjia Village who came over with a grain cart was quite puzzled: "It's just the chestnut rice grown in ordinary fields. What's the difference? We can't lie to people."

Wei Wei raised his forehead, this person is too honest.

After racking her brains, she raised her head: "Then do you think the rice harvested from the Yan family village is better than the rice bought from the rice shop?"

The young man continued to retort: ​​"That's different. The Jiuquan rice shop is controlled by the Zhou family, and the old rice in the granary is sold every year. It must not be as delicious as our new rice."

Wei Wei followed him and continued: "The chestnut rice sold by Zhou's family to the capital should also be old rice. Which one do you think is delicious?"

The boy fell silent.

Victory!

Compared to a pair of scissors, Wei Wei held his head high, raised his chest and raised his eyebrows, his appearance was much more smug, the young man stretched his neck in anger.

In the end, he still couldn't help it, and retorted to Patriarch Yan in a low voice: "Patriarch, it's obviously Limi, why change the name."

The patriarch had just shaved off the skin of the Zhou family. He knew that the Zhou family was rich, but he didn't expect it to be so rich.With the lessons learned from the person who was stripped naked, the rest of the servants calm down and don't need them to beg for money.Someone didn't bring loose silver with him, and the large-amount banknotes were handed over, but Patriarch Yan accepted them all according to the slip and refused to give change.In this way, he collected a thousand taels of silver from fifty or so people.There was a box full of banknotes and scraps of silver, which made his arms a little sore from the weight.

Although the money is not his, but bullying the Zhou family feels very comfortable.He was very happy at this moment, seeing the clansman so shameless, the patriarch Yan, who seemed to be getting older and more energetic in recent days, raised his hand and gave him a chestnut.

"Idiot, Madam has her reasons for saying that."

Wei Wei noticed that Patriarch Yan had addressed her from "Brother Heng's daughter-in-law" to "Madame".Coupled with his fierce reaction to last week's Jia Ding in front of the house just now, it seems that he has recognized Yan Heng's position and quickly adjusted his position in a short period of time.

When she was in Yanjia Village earlier, she wanted to call the patriarch Second Grandpa instead.From the looks of it now, she should feel at ease as a high-ranking wife.

As for Patriarch Yan, he is indeed a talent worthy of respect.No wonder Yan Baihu failed to become the patriarch with the backing of the Zhou family. In terms of scheming and ability, he was beaten eight hundred times by the patriarch Yan.

Wei Wei likes to work with smart people, and she doesn't hesitate to say a few words to such a patriarch Yan.

"Sparse things are more expensive, and the same is earth. Tea bowls fired by small private kilns cost a few pennies a piece, and refined ceramics in Jingdezhen cost hundreds of taels of silver. Is there really such a big difference between the two? Jingdezhen ceramics are sold as fine workmanship." If you make it carefully, you will be even more famous if you sell it.”

Speaking of this, she stopped to give everyone time to think, but most of her eyes were on Patriarch Yan.

After thinking about it, Patriarch Yan suddenly realized it, and then he couldn't believe it: "Ma'am, you mean our chestnut rice..."

Wei Wei nodded firmly: "The chestnut rice carefully selected by Yanjia Village is millet."

With her arms folded, she looked into the distance.Blue Mountain coffee, Havana cigars, Norwegian salmon, Japanese Wagyu, how many of these things in the previous life, as long as the brand is printed out and the exclusive place of origin is marked, the value will immediately double up.

She has eaten all of these. Take Japanese Wagyu beef as an example. It costs 1500 yuan a catty for a very common one. In fact, the taste is not much different from the domestic beef that costs 30 yuan a catty in the vegetable market in her community.If the difference is really big, it is because the raw materials are expensive, chefs usually choose the best ones when cooking, and the difference in chef skills widens the slight gap.

But this is the market, the more expensive something is, the more people rush to buy it.There are even many people who have worked hard to save their wages for several months, just to appreciate the feeling of high-end consumption.

"These millets are stored first, and the rest of the millets in Yanjia Village should not be sold easily."

The patriarch woke up from the shock and hurriedly nodded in agreement.The general commander moved the millet into the warehouse, and a shrill cry came faintly from his ears.Knocking on the son next to him who was busy carrying sacks, he frowned and asked:

"I seem to hear..." He sounded like Yan Shisan's voice, but he quickly realized that it was inappropriate to ask about this matter.

"Dad, what did you hear?"

"fine."

The simple and honest man was frightened by his own father, put down the sack and comforted him: "Father, don't be afraid, I know who is imprisoned there."

"you know?"

Patriarch Yan narrowed his eyes, and just about to tell his son not to talk nonsense, he heard his always honest son explain:

"Father, I just heard from the bystanders. The last time Zhou Qianhu came to make trouble, he said that Brother Heng hid the Thirteenth Brother and the Zhou family. Brother Heng asked them to enter the yard to find someone, and a swarm of guards went in. In the end, two Wala beggars were found. You have seen those two beggars before, they are the ones we usually see in Jiuquan Mutual Market. Brother Heng’s backyard should be locked up, these two beggars should be.”

Really a beggar?Just now he heard Zhou's voice, neighbor for many years, Patriarch Yan felt that he could hear him right.

But seeing the eldest son swear by it, he even kicked at the source of the sound and threatened through the wall: "What is it called, and I will cut off your tongue."

Patriarch Yan's back was covered in cold sweat. He was sure that the prisoner in the backyard was a beggar.No matter who they were, they will only be two Wala beggars in the future.

All the millet was unloaded and neatly stacked in the warehouse, next to other things to be shipped to various places.Wei Wei led Gu Yu and Li Qiu to deliver water to the clansmen. Seeing the warehouse which was full but not messy at all, he secretly nodded in satisfaction.People from the Yan family, no matter whether they were indifferent to A Heng or really powerless, at least now they are very cooperative, and they finish all the tasks assigned to them without any water.

"Everyone rest your feet, there is another work to trouble you."

The clansmen who planned to finish their work in the morning and go back to work on the autumn harvest in the afternoon looked at her, what else is there?

"These millets, I have to trouble you to pack them separately."

Subpackage?They can understand each word separately, but they are a little strange when put together.Seeing this, Wei Wei didn't explain much, she clapped her hands outside the courtyard, Chen Bo led two other servants, and drove in a flatbed cart, on which there were some yellow papers bulging.Everyone was at a loss, but the head of the family, who was literate, knew that this was the waste paper left over from the four treasures of the study shop in Liangzhou City after filtering the pulp when making paper.

These waste papers are too rough for writing, and too rough for pasting windows, so it is useless, and it is a pity to throw them away. For several years, they have been betting on the warehouse of the Four Treasures of the Study to feed insects, and the shopkeeper was very anxious.

Patriarch Yan glanced at Wei Wei, what kind of medicine did she sell in her gourd?

Even patriarch Yan didn't notice it. Now that he encounters weird things that cannot be explained by common sense, his first reaction is not to stare and say "You are not messing around", but to subconsciously think about what Wei is going to do.This change seems subtle, but in fact he gradually placed Wei Wei on the same level as Yan Heng.

With this kind of cognition, Riwei Wei is no longer a symbol with a strong vassal meaning like "Heng Ge's daughter-in-law" or "Zhenfu Madam".The orders issued by her alone are enough to convince the Yan family.

Of course, Wei Wei hasn't noticed this yet, even if she did, she would laugh it off.In her heart, she and Yan Heng have always been equal in status, she does not treat Yan Heng with that kind of humility that men are superior to women, and she has always only been equal.Her attitude was once criticized by Wei's mother, who said that she was too strong and blinded this face that a man would pity when he saw it.But fortunately, Yan Heng adapted well from the very beginning, seeing this, Mother Wei didn't say anything anymore.

Of course, she didn't have the heart to think about this, her mind was full of that cart of kraft paper.

This was the scrap she accidentally found in a corner of the shop when she came back from Yan's house that evening and passed by the Four Treasures of the Study shop to buy paper for accounting books.At that time, she only asked a casual question, and the shopkeeper was honest and told the whole story about the source of this paper.He bluntly said that the reason why the paper sold by his family is strong is due to the different craftsmanship. A kind of glue is added to the pulp when it is boiled.But this kind of process produces a lot of waste pulp, and there is no place to throw these waste products, so he has no choice but to simply make this.

After hearing this, Wei Wei praised the store owner as an environmental pioneer, and good people are rewarded with good rewards. The store does not discharge sewage casually, but makes epoch-making kraft paper in a crooked manner.

Gladly, she bought more paper and brought it back until Yan Heng dealt with the affairs of Shitou's family the next day. She was restless looking at the account books to pass the time, and accidentally discovered the huge price difference between different grains in the northwest and the capital.Rareness is the most precious thing, and the chestnut rice that is everywhere in the Northwest has become a rare thing when it is transported to the capital.And the ordinary rice that was transported along the canal in the capital became a good thing that most people think is expensive when it is placed in the northwest.

People eat whole grains, and if they don't eat a meal, they will feel hungry. She doesn't need to think deeply, she knows that this is a profitable business.The instinct of the previous life was still there, so she quickly made up a "Plan for the Exchange of Common Crops in the East and West of Da Viet", and even smoothly determined the brand promotion plan.Thanks to the unique time travel, she can use so many successful advertising cases in her previous life now.Even if she is far away and can't remember clearly, she can't worry about her failure if she piece together and integrate the wisdom crystallization of future generations.

To make a brand, besides the real materials, the most important thing is the packaging.

When thinking of packaging, paper bags commonly used by luxury brands come to mind.Originally, she was worried that Dayue's paper was too soft and thin, but in this northwest borderland, the kraft paper accidentally developed by the shopkeeper solved this problem epoch-makingly.

Rubbing the paper, Wei Wei woke up from the memory.Seeing the members of the Yan family who had already finished drinking their tea and looking at her with burning eyes, Wei Wei gave them a calm and calm smile, and then pulled out the top layer of paper.

The paper is rectangular, about one meter long and half a meter wide.Wei Wei folded it in half on the long side, about 35 centimeters on one side, leaving a width of 40 centimeters at the bottom, and just [-] centimeters longer on the other side.After taking Gu Yu's hands to cut it, she cut it on the reserved wide side, and then she applied paste to glue the sides together, and a [-]*[-] large paper bag appeared in her hand.Cut two more ten centimeters protruding from the top, and fold it down just enough to seal.

"That's it, make this kind of small bag with kraft paper, and then pack the millet. A small bag can probably hold..."

This question really stumped Wei Wei, she had always used electronic scales before, and she was really a novice at this kind of weight estimation.

Surrounding her, everyone smiled, and the patriarch gave an approximate number: "Five catties is too little, ten catties is too much, six to eight catties. Six and eight catties are the best, auspicious. It’s not easy to eat old rice either.”

Being ridiculed by everyone, Wei Wei didn't take it to heart at all, she was attracted by Patriarch Yan's words.

Six catties, eight catties, yes, why didn't she think of it?A brand does not necessarily have a product. In the past, people who sold zongzi had such a combination of beautiful flowers and full moons and five blessings. She has more tricks here.

If we change it, we will change it, and immediately she pointed to the left: "You guys, according to the method I pasted the paper bag just now, hold eight catties of millet. As for the scale for weighing rice, Uncle Chen..."

Before Uncle Chen nodded, Patriarch Yan on the opposite side had already spoken on behalf of everyone: "Madam, there is no need for a scale."

"What do you call it?"

The smiles on the faces of the Yan family were even stronger, and a young man couldn't help but said: "Madam, we have been dealing with food since we were born, and we can get it out with a light touch."

When she said this, Wei Wei thought of many butchers she had seen.Especially for the old butcher who has been buying meat for many years, he told him that it would cost two catties, and he would just cut a piece with his eyes closed and throw it on the electronic scale. .

But that was an old butcher, looking at the young boy in front of her, she still couldn't believe it: "You can do it too?"

Patriarch Yan cast a sideways glance at the clansmen: "Of course he can't, but I can. I'll figure out how to make a few bags later, and give each of them a bag. They are gesticulating with their left and right hands. It's pretty close."

Seeing everyone in Yan's family nodding, Wei Wei was stunned, looking at patriarch Yan's eyes was like looking at a human electronic scale.

Sure enough, 360 lines, every line will be the champion.

Then she has to work harder, and she raised it in her heart, pointing to another wave of people: "As for you, use another type of paper bag, and put six catties of millet in it. How to make the paper bag, I will tell you later." Let me tell you one piece."

After she finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced sharply at the audience: "I know everyone is busy with the autumn harvest, so I keep you here this afternoon to let you be familiar with the whole process. No one can do a good job in making paper bags at the beginning. But I don't ask for quantity but quality. I will promote the best one to be a supervisor. The millet produced in our Yanjia Village is to be sold to the capital and appear on the dinner table of rich families, so every bag must be After several inspections, it was ensured that nothing was lost. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will cause unimaginable trouble, more trouble than the Zhou family. "

The stern tone shocked everyone present, even Gu Yu, who had been with her the longest and had the most face, kept silent.

Wei Wei held her breath, seeing that everyone's faces became serious, she suddenly softened her expression: "I won't let you do it for nothing, after two months after Yanji Xiaomi is sold, I will share [-]% of the profit with everyone .”

When they heard that there was money to be made, the members of the Yan family who originally thought she was too strict stretched their faces, and all of them stepped forward to get the kraft paper with great enthusiasm, and patted their chests to ensure that they had been focusing on these physical tasks for many years, and their hands were the most dexterous.

Seeing this, Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief, the supply problem has been solved, and the rest is how to open up the market.
