take a wife to support the family

Chapter 230 Rose Flower Sauce

After sending Yingchun to Lamei to settle down, Bai and Song Haonian went to the market to buy something for Yingchun.I saw his flower lotion being sold in many shops on the side of the road, and their flower lotion is easy to recognize. They are all white porcelain bottles, with the word "Song" written on it as a mark, and the bottle mouth is made of cork and wax. Seal it up.

Some shops will do business, open a bottle and sprinkle a few drops on the counter, people come and go smell it, and always ask: "What smells so good?" As long as you ask, ten people will always ask two or three to buy it, and there are many people in the county , even if only two or three adults buy it, the store will make a lot of money.

The two of them stood and watched for a while, and then a waiter came up to say hello: "The Song family made a good rose dew, and now people who pay attention to it use it. It's good for drinking, and it's also good for smoking clothes. It's fragrant and beautiful. Men eat it to improve their ears and eyes, and women eat it. Fair skin and beautiful, can you two have a bottle?"

The two of them are not badly dressed, and they look rich. The guy said it was a hype, saying: "People in the provincial capital also use the Song family flower dew. Nowadays, in the county town, any woman does not have a bottle of flower dew. Sorry to go out and meet people..."

Bai He thought in his heart: The business is very good, and this year will definitely make a steady profit without losing money.

Song Haonian smiled and waved his hands: "We have flower dew at home, but take a look." The guy was disappointed, and turned to greet others, ignoring them.

The young couple looked at each other and smiled, bought some things that girls usually use at home, and went back to put them in the Yingchun House. The county town has a lot of people and little land, and the land is expensive. The yard rented by Wang Xiaofu is not big, except for the facade. There are only two or three rooms left, and there is no space to waste. Wang Xiaofu lives in one room with the young Lamei couple, and Yingchun lives with Aunt Wang.

Seeing that Lily brought these things, Yingchun felt embarrassed. Aunt Wang smiled and said, "I also loved these things when I was young. You are still young, so you should wear some bright flower powder."

Now Yingchun is unwilling to dress herself up, so she just purses her lips, puts away her things, rolls up her sleeves and goes to help Lamei with work.

Baihe said to Mrs. Wang: "She is young, and she can't see many things. The aunt has more time to persuade her." Mrs. Wang is a young widow. If she is not strong-minded and open-minded, she can't raise Wang Xiaofu like this. He was older and married a daughter-in-law, and the family lived in harmony and beauty.

Settling down to welcome the spring, Song Haonian and the young couple went home and steamed and dried flowers with peace of mind. Most of the flower dew was sold to the county seat and the surrounding counties. They just sold it to those few grocery stores. They don't care whether they want to sell it themselves or sell it to others.

Some people also inquired about his house and asked to sign a contract. The conditions offered were better than those of those grocery stores. Song Haonian said: "Business is about first-come, first-served. I have signed a contract with them this year, and it is your bid." Gao, I can't take away the flower dew that I promised to give to them. Now it depends on how much my family has left for you, and next year we will see who comes earlier."

That person raised the price again and again, Song Haonian just didn't let go, he could only buy the extra flower dew according to the original bid.He thought Song Haonian was deadheaded at first, he didn't know how to grasp the great deal even though it was right in front of him, and within two days he was glad that Song Haonian could hold it.

It turned out that he could find out the location of the Song family in Qingliu Town, and so could others. He came early and could take care of all the flower dew except for those grocery stores, and those who came late could only watch the fields blooming just right. The rose sighed: Song Haonian refused to sign a contract with others again, because his family could no longer produce more flower dew, and they couldn't add water to the dew to make fakes. Now it's just right.

Others couldn't talk about Song Haonian with their mouths open, so someone found out that Baihe could be the master of the house, and asked the female relatives to come to persuade Baihe.

In the past, Lily would definitely have agreed to it regardless of her family's situation, and would take such a large amount of business first, but now she knows how to be content and happy, not only has to take care of her own family, but also the health of several hired workers, so she just shirks the blame.

Seeing that the other party was really demanding, she revealed: "My family now thinks this is a good idea. We don't want to be rich and powerful, but to be reliable and stable. If you miss this year, there is really nothing you can do. If you want to do this again next year Business, please come early next year."

Doing business consumes brains and energy, and she never dares to plunge into it when her body is not in good condition.

Seeing that they were not moving, those people had no choice but to leave disgruntled. They felt that the husband and wife were both honest people, and they didn't just rely on the number of people who came to buy the dew to make a random promise and add water to the dew. It makes people feel at ease, and they can do business with his family next year.

Apart from steaming dew and sun-dried roses, lilies also know several ways to eat them, such as dipping them in egg liquid and flour, frying them in an oil pan, and sprinkling them with sugar after leaving the country. dessert.

These small snacks and flowers also take up half of the counter in the tofu shop, and they can also bring a lot of income to the family.

And when the flowers are half in bloom, pick off the flowers before the sun rises in the early morning, and pull off the petals. For each catty of petals, add two and a half catties of white sugar, rub the sugar into the petals, and wait for the petals to change color and produce juice. Put the rubbed rose sauce into a ceramic jar and seal it, and then stir it every other month, and you can get a fragrant and sweet rose sauce for more than three months.

Lily made two large vats of rose sauce, which smelled delicious all over her body. She sat in the yard, and bees flew around her from nowhere. Lily was so scared that she hurriedly hid in the house. Unexpectedly, the bee chased after her and landed on her head. circling.

Lily ran towards Song Haonian in a flash, Song Haonian couldn't stop laughing, and was not afraid of bee stings, he waved the bee down, hugged Lily and smelled it: "It smells so sweet, no wonder the bees want to chase you."

"Your daughter-in-law almost let the bees take advantage of it, but you are still laughing." Lily couldn't help laughing as she spoke, pushing Song Haonian and said, "There is a family in our town who keeps bees, let's go talk to his family, Get two boxes of bees and put them in the flower field and tell them to collect honey, then sift out the honey and share it with us."

Beekeeping is a tiring job, but Lily didn't think about doing it herself. She produces good pollen here, and asks the bees to collect it to make rose nectar. As long as three successes are good.

Sure enough, Song Haonian went to talk to the beekeeping family and said that the family was very happy: his bees always fly to the Song family's flower fields these days. Then he agreed, and put two boxes of bees in the flower field, and built a shed to avoid the wind and rain, and someone would come to look after them every day, and they could sieve honey in autumn.

A few days later, the first batch of dried flowers were dried and packed in bamboo baskets. There were several carts in one pack. Song Haonian went to the Liufu Zhuangzi, and Uncle Tong Sheng borrowed a car or a person. After the incident, you are born with us."

Song Haonian said: "It was Liu Yaowen who did the wrong thing. Uncle Sheng and Aunt Sheng didn't let us down. I heard from Yingchun that thanks to Aunt Sheng taking care of her in the mansion, why would I hate you? No, we have to ask for the car. Uncle Sheng help."

Liu Sheng felt that Song Haonian was more stable and mature than in previous years, and he was still an honest person, but his speech sounded more moderate, so before the busy farming season, he allocated more than a dozen carts and ten or twenty young farmers, Help him deliver dried flowers to Rose Manor.

These farm households are also from Qingliu Town, seeing Song Haonian's life getting better day by day, he is naturally envious in his heart, and wants to learn from him, knowing how to live a good life.

Besides, Song Haonian was fully prepared. The large carts of dried flowers seemed to be a lot, but they were actually not heavy. It was not difficult for these farmers to push the carts. They provided delicious food and drinks along the way, Song Hao Nian agreed that after delivering the dried flowers, he could take them for a stroll in the provincial capital. Everyone was very happy, and no one complained.

We walked on the road for half a month, and it rained twice in the middle. Fortunately, the car was covered with dense tarpaulins, and the two baskets of flowers were only wet once, and there was no other loss.

When we arrived at Rose Manor, it was still in spring that the steward received Song Haonian. The steward almost popped out his eyes: "Are you really planting flowers?"

Song Haonian said: "I'm just a farmer. I spend a lot of money to buy flower seedlings and return them. Why don't I not plant them?" Please take a look at the quality of dried flowers, and point out which two baskets have been rained and the quality is not as good as before.

The person in charge had developed a pair of sharp eyes early on, seeing that Song Haonian had never lied, so he weighed it and gave him the silver according to the price.Immediately, a message was reported to the Chief Steward. When Steward Lu heard that Song Hao Nian was selling flowers, he couldn't help laughing and said, "They Tiqi are so poor now? They can't even afford to buy flower seedlings. They really started selling flowers." The flower business is here."

Hearing that the dried flowers have been accepted according to the market price, Guanshi Lu said with a smile: "Since they want to make money, let them make it. You don't have to tell them that we are stingy. From now on, just treat him as a serious businessman and don't care about other things." .”

As for the matter involving Song Haonian's face... I don't know what Jin Yiwei is planning. It can't be separated from the capital's affairs. He only needs to stare at the commander and envoy to know a thing or two. There is no need to be at the bottom Wasting time on Jin Yiwei.

Song Haonian didn't know that someone had already spent a lot of time thinking about his actions. He carefully collected the money and took the farmers to the provincial capital to see the excitement. Once he arrived in the provincial capital, he deposited the money in the Daming Bank. It was sewn into the clothes, and it was not until I returned to Taiping County that I went to the county bank to exchange it, and put it together with my usual savings.

This time he returned with a full load, and the farmers also saw a lot of new things, and brought a lot of new gadgets back to the town, full of mouths about how the county is, how the provincial capital is, and can't stop talking happily.

Song Haonian hired them to work, and the wages were generous, even Uncle Sheng got a lot of benefits, and he was more satisfied with Song Haonian, and he decided to send the farmer to help him do the work if there was such a thing in the future.

This kind of incident should have caused a commotion in the town, but this time it passed quietly, except for a few acquaintances, many people did not know that Song Haonian had returned from outside.

It turned out that it was not for anyone else, another big event happened in the town, which attracted everyone's attention, so no one cared what happened to Song Haonian.
