Chapter 367
Therefore, shopkeeper Lin from Yipin Building in Jinyang City came here to explain this matter, and also sent Buwu's autographed letter, and offered money for buying sauerkraut.

After reading the letter, Qing Shu was sure that shopkeeper Lin meant what Bu Wu meant, so he said to immediately move out some of the sauerkraut prepared for Yipinlou.

Shopkeeper Lin hurriedly asked, "Miss Gu, how many sauerkrauts have been prepared for Yipinlou this time?"

Qing Shu turned her face to the side and asked Steward Gu, "How much is left in the warehouse?"

Butler Gu replied, "Miss Hui, there are one hundred and nine barrels left."

After hearing this, Qing Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Shopkeeper Lin, "Shopkeeper Lin, we agreed to prepare one hundred barrels for the first batch of your building, and there are just enough for the housekeeper to bring out one hundred barrels."

Shopkeeper Lin rubbed his hands, "Miss Gu, let's discuss it. It's not easy to go all the way to the capital, or you can add another barrel to make it 110 barrels."

Qing Shu looked at the caravan that was nearing the end of loading, "There is still one barrel short, so it will take a while. If they are not in a hurry to set off, then wait a while and invite them to come in and have a cup of hot tea to keep them warm." Rest your body and rest your feet. When they rest their feet, a bucket of sauerkraut will be ready."

Shopkeeper Lin was grateful for a while.

There is no need for Qingshu to explain, but the butler Gu who has been by Qingshu's side has been making arrangements immediately.He asked the kitchen worker to put down what he was doing and cut out a bucket of sauerkraut first.In order not to waste too much time for the caravan, Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan also went to help.

Everyone worked together, and the barrel of sauerkraut was cut quickly, and the pickled cabbage shreds were quickly packed into the wooden barrel, covered with the wooden barrel lid, and carried to the front.

In this way, the moving of the goods, the loading of the trucks, and the 110 barrels of sauerkraut in the Yipin Building have also been loaded.

At this time, Qingshu asked someone to bring two large boxes, and asked Song Quan, the leader of the caravan, to help her transport the two boxes to the capital and hand them over to Zhou Boyan himself.Qingshu also said that if the things arrived and Zhou Boyan had already left the capital, the two boxes would be handed over to the fifth son of General Bu's mansion, and they would fly away.

Song Quan responded with a full mouth, and he refused to take any Xie Yin that the housekeeper gave him.

Seeing that he didn't want money, Qing Shu had no choice but to ask someone to bring him two small jars, and told him that one was jam made of red fruits, and gave it to his wife and children to try, and spread it on pastries.One is chili oil, which can be used as a condiment when cooking or eating noodles, and it was given to him.

Song Quan wanted to evade, but Steward Gu pulled him over, "Take it quickly, these are all good things, the only ones in the world. Even if your master wants to eat, you have to ask my lady to get them."

Only then did Song Quan accept it, thanking him again and again.It's okay to push money, but it's really not the case to push things.He has heard the name of the red fruit, but he has never seen it or eaten it.

Qingshu asked Xiaojuan to present a blue silk handkerchief wrapped with something.

The butler took it from the side and stuffed it into Song Quan's hand, telling Song Quan to put it away quickly.

Song Quan picked it up, opened it curiously, and found two lifelike, one red and one pink, unknown and extremely beautiful flowers inside.He was stunned, where did the flowers come from in this cold weather?

Qingshu smiled and said, "It's silk flowers. Take it back and give it to your wife, your wife will definitely like it." Then she pointed to the two big boxes she entrusted to Song Quan, "It's full of them, you have to send them to the place properly. This But it's all silver."

Song Quan wrapped the silk flower back, put it away, and cupped his fists at Qingshu, "Miss, don't worry, I will send the miss's things to the place safely."

Qing Shu Yingying bowed, "Thank you, Brother Song!"

The caravan did not stop, Song Quan yelled and set off.They want to reach Jinyang City as soon as possible, and join another caravan from Zhou Ji from the south, and return to Beijing together.Caravans transporting goods from north to south, the team is huge and there are many people with them. Even if they go through uneven areas, bandits from all walks of life will be more cautious and dare not touch them easily.Therefore, the Zhou Ji caravan, which has always been famous for its large numbers of people and its cautiousness, has a lower chance of encountering bandits than other caravans when they take goods.

Shopkeeper Lin followed the caravan.Before leaving, he emphasized over and over again that he hoped that the ancient mansion could prepare the second batch of sauerkraut as soon as possible.The first batch of sauerkraut was all shipped to the capital, so there was no sauerkraut for sale in Yipinlou in Jinyang City.In order to earn money for sauerkraut earlier, shopkeeper Lin was in a hurry.

After seeing off shopkeeper Lin and the caravan, Steward Gu went to meet Qing Shu in the front hall, and suggested to Qing Shu, "Miss, why don't the women stop what they're doing and cut the sauerkraut first."

Qingshu refused, "No, it's true that sauerkraut can earn money, but the work that women do now is also earning money. Besides, sauerkraut can be cut slowly and sold slowly, but this silk flower is different from the braided bracelet. They have to be sold before the end of the year, so there is no delay."

Today is the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the silk flowers and bracelets sent to the capital arrived in Beijing around the same time.Be it Zhou Boyan or Bu Wu, they will definitely help her sell for a good price.Excluding those sent to the capital, there are still some finished products left, and the women are still making them.Around Xiaonian, she would be sold in Kangxi Town as an ordinary girl.And those materials are good and the patterns are good, she wants to sell them in Jinyang City.

Gu Butler felt that what Qing Shu said made sense, "Why don't you find some people from outside to cut sauerkraut?" In winter, there is less work, and there are many women at home, so you can choose whoever you want.

Qing Shu still refused to agree, "I don't know the basics, so don't worry about using it. Don't worry, the work of making silk flowers and weaving bracelets will stop when you are young. The freed hands must be assigned to cut sauerkraut. There At that time, the sauerkraut is just cut out in a concentrated manner. Moreover, the Chinese New Year is the best time for sauerkraut to sell, and it will not delay our earning money."

"Success, let's do it according to Miss's wishes." Gu Butler also understood Qing Shu's meaning.The ancient mansion is different from other mansions. The children in the mansion run, jump and play without any scruples every day. The mischievous, playful or chasing figures of the young masters can be seen everywhere, and no one needs to follow them.

If people who don't know their background are allowed to come into the mansion to do things, not only must people follow the young masters from time to time, even the children playing in the mansion must arrange adults to follow them, so as not to make mistakes.Besides, the ancient mansion produced many good things such as red bean paste buns, sauerkraut, and red fruits, which are very famous in the surrounding areas, so there are many people who covet these good things. Those who want to go to the mansion to do things may have brought something with them Purpose.Still safe and secure.

In the days that followed, the whole Gu Mansion was still busy going around.

On the day before the first year of the new year, that is, before lunch on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Qingshu announced that this year's work of making silk flowers and weaving bracelets would come to an end.

Qingshu's arrangement is: I will give everyone wages this afternoon; everyone will have a day off in the new year (23rd of the twelfth lunar month), and everyone will have a small reunion dinner with their families; Just come to the ancient mansion to report, the ancient mansion has other errand arrangements.
