Chapter 893 1 Everything is fine

Zhou Guo waved his hand and said, "I'll figure it out later. I plan to split the shop into two halves, one selling braised food and the other selling roast duck. I won't lose much by selling both."

If that doesn't work, how about thirty or forty cents per pound?

If that doesn’t work, how much is one?

There are many ways.

The old man doesn't care, as long as he has something to eat, it's still delicious.

Zhou Guo thought to herself that when the escort agency became bigger in the future, she would definitely have someone find the chili peppers back. Then the stew would taste even better with the addition of chili peppers.

She did what she said. She locked herself in the study for a whole morning and calculated everything from site selection to purchasing and the supply of labor and raw materials. In the beginning, she could only earn a dozen cents from a duck, but she estimated that she would earn more after she got on the right track.

It's a small profit, but my family likes to eat it, and there are many people raising ducks in the nearby village.

It doesn't matter if she earns less, at least she can still make some money, as long as she doesn't lose money.

After the plan was completed, Hu Zi was called over the next day and asked to go to Yunzhou to prepare food.

The best location is in the food street. The shop is not big and is enough for three or four people.

As for the supply, this is even simpler. We supply goods from here every day. It is half the distance from Song County to Cangshan Village.

The ducks are transported from Cangshan Village to Song County. After the braised goods are made in Song County, they are sent to Yunzhou. If they are delivered every day, it is still in time.

This means that as the weather gets hotter and hotter in the future, when it gets colder, the raw materials can be transported directly from Cangshan Village to Yunzhou and prepared in the kitchen.

This is convenient and saves a lot of trouble.

Hu Zi is very reliable in his work. In ten days he not only found a shop but also packed everything up and was just waiting to open.

Wu Jiang directly transferred two women from the farm. They were good at cooking and could cook delicious food.

In fact, this does not require any skills. After all, the marinade ingredients are already prepared, and the marinade for the roast duck is also prepared. The rest are just simple tasks that even a fool can do.

Another ten days later, Yunzhou's braised food shop opened for business.

Zhou Guo didn't go to see it on the first day of work.

After finishing the work in Song County, she had to go to other counties to have a look. The counties below did not have so many grain varieties. Only a few dozen acres of land were planted with rice, and the rest were planted with wheat.

These lands are not as large as those in Song County, but they were completed earlier than those in Song County.

She took a closer look at the seedlings, which looked similar to those in Song County. These village heads were all refugees from the south, and they knew how to grow both rice and wheat. The village was short of manpower and could not transfer so many people over, so they had to farm the land themselves.

She was squatting by the field, telling the head of the village in detail how to take care of the rice in the next one or two months, how many times to fertilize, and how much to fertilize each time...

Zhuangtou listened nervously, afraid that he might have missed something or done something wrong.

Seeing him sweating profusely, Zhou Guo said, "Don't worry. The remaining things are nothing more than these few things. Fertilize the fields, weed the fields, and water them. Just do as I say. If it doesn't work, find an old hand. He will definitely remember what I say."

The village head said quickly, "Boss, wait a minute, I'll find two people to help me record it."

With that said, he left.

Zhou Guo was stunned. He really needed someone to take notes with him.

Hu Zi frowned and said, "Is this village head okay? How about changing it?"

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Why change him? I think he's pretty good. Although he may not be capable enough, he's honest and reliable. He's better than many people."

After a while, the village head really found two old masters. Wiping his sweat, he said to Zhou Guo, "Boss, these two have been farming for their whole lives. They used to be well-known in the village for their farming skills. Not only can they farm, but they can also read the weather."

Zhou Guo nodded. It was not surprising. Some powerful old people would check the weather.

I told them the story again.

The two old men nodded repeatedly, but it was unclear whether they heard it or not.

After Zhou Guo finished speaking, he looked at them and asked, "Did you remember everything I said?"

"Remember." Several people nodded.

Zhou Guo said: "Then tell me what I want you to do."

Several people looked at each other and said that if one of them didn't remember it, the other one would supplement it, and there really wasn't any big mistake.

Zhou Guo asked: "Did you three know each other before?"

The village head did not dare to lie and said honestly: "We are fleeing together."

Zhou Guo nodded, not caring about their relationship, and said, "You have to take good care of the work in the fields, not only the rice, but also the wheat."

Many of these wheat seeds were ordinary wheat seeds, and the ones that the Wang family compensated her with were only planted on one or two hundred acres, wanting to see how big the difference was compared to ordinary wheat seeds.

Therefore, as soon as she finished her work here, she went to Chengding. The two thousand acres of wheat on Mr. Wu's land had already been planted.

Spring ploughing was not delayed and everything is in good order.

After living here for half a month, I visited several salty and bitter fields where alkali artemisia was planted. The seeds were sown early, and now they have sprouted, and everywhere is green.

The head of the village said, "This dish is perfect to eat now. It tastes good and is very tender. Would you like to try it, Boss?"

Zhou Guo nodded, "Then try it."

After blanching the fresh wild vegetables and mixing them with garlic, oil, vinegar and salt, they taste delicious.

Zhou Guo tasted a piece of it and said with a smile: "We can take this to the market and sell it."

Designate someone to buy it.

Er Pang said, "Master, there are people selling this at the market. When it first came out, it could be sold for one cent a bunch. When the market is good, there are still a lot of people buying it at two cents a bunch."

He chuckled and said, "In previous years, my brother and I also sold them and could earn one or two hundred coins in one spring."

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "You guys are amazing, you can earn so much just from this alone."

Er Pang said: "That also depends on luck."

Several plots of land are planted with this. After one year of growth this year, we should be able to grow crops next year, and we will be able to get a harvest to a greater or lesser extent.

She spent the entire spring traveling around various cities. She had planted crops on the farms, and fertilizer was being fermented continuously. Fruit trees and other things were in bloom, far more than last year.

In another year, the apple trees on the hills will be in full bloom, and at that time they will become a scenic spot in the village.

She also had people move the groundberry seedlings here. There isn't much land in Cangshan Village, but a lot of it has been produced over the years.

Each village received a share, and each village received about 100 to 200 seedlings.

Qian Duo was very happy to get these ground berry seedlings. Ground berries are a good thing. They can be sold at a higher price than fruits like ringola. They are just smaller in size, but they taste good.

Since then, the two kinds of fruits obtained from Manager Yang have grown in size.

They were loquats and apricots. Loquats were difficult to grow, and only a dozen of them survived. It was with great effort that she managed to grow them. Cangshan Village was not suitable for growing these fruits, so she planned to move them to Huaiyang.

As for the apricots, perhaps because she did not spend as much time on them as she did on the cherries, not as many survived as the cherries, and they did not grow as well as the cherry seedlings. There were only a few dozen of them, and they could be moved to Qian Duo's place next year.

Anyway, he likes to grow fruits, so all these fruits are given to him.

After returning to Yunzhou, she went to the braised goods shop. She had never visited the shop since it opened.
