Chapter 76 Business Cooperation with Manager Xia

Of course, this is a bit risky for her. After all, Mrs. Gu is the daughter-in-law of the Xia family. It is also possible that Manager Xia will not give her a good face in order to protect her daughter-in-law, let alone talk about cooperation.

  Fortunately, Jiang Tangtang's judgment about Manager Xia was right.

  Early the next morning, Manager Xia and Wang Lachun came to her home in person.

  Wang Lachun praised Jiang Tangtang for the delicious wild berries he sent. He also said that his daughter-in-law was a confused person and asked Jiang Tangtang not to argue with her.

  Jiang Tangtang understood Wang Lachun's attitude, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Aunt Yi said, can you make a profit from growing these wild berries and selling them?" "

  If you can grow them, then you must, but this wild berry I've never seen it before, and I have no idea how to plant it."

  "I dug up a few plants and planted them, and I got some ideas. In fact, it's not that far different from growing vegetables, but it's a little more delicate than vegetables. You can't catch the cold, and you can't bask in the sun."

  Jiang Tangtang has set up an orchard by himself, so he certainly has research on how to grow strawberries.

  "I have planted a few strawberries at home for you to see." Jiang Tangtang said, taking the two of them to see the strawberries at home.

  Because she watered the spring in the morning and evening and moved the big wooden box back to the room when it was cold at night, several strawberry plants grew well. There were several half-ripe fruits hanging on it.

  Seeing that the fruits in Jiang Tangtang's field were growing well, both Xia Guanshi and Wang Lachun felt a little relieved.

  But even though the Xia family lives a much better life than other families because of Manager Xia's status. But the Xia family has a large population, and their sons are all honest and have no other skills except farming.

  The old couple also has a young son who is not married, and they value the land as much as ordinary farmers. I couldn't make up my mind to use a large and precious piece of land to grow wild berries.

  Xia Tangtang saw the hesitation between the two, so she proposed that she would plant the seeds, while Manager Xia found sales channels, and finally made half the money.

  In Wang Lachun's view, this was equivalent to Jiang Tangtang giving them money for free. She shook her head and said, "How can that be done? We haven't planted anything, so how can we get half of the money for

  nothing!" "Although you are not responsible for planting, you are responsible for selling. It's just that the areas of effort are different. There is no problem with distribution like this. "

  Although Manager Xia is just a small steward of the village, he can barely be considered a member of the imperial staff. In addition, he has lived here for so many years and has certain connections and influence in the county.

  It takes much less effort to leave the sales to him than to do it yourself. Although he suffered a little loss in terms of profits, Jiang Tangtang felt that it was a good deal.

  As long as I can establish a good relationship with Manager Xia and give her the green light to move freely in the future, the money will be well spent.

  After all, she didn't just plan to do this business.

  "Let's do this. Once your wild berries are grown, I will be responsible for helping you contact the buyer. Then you can share 20% of my hard work." Manager Xia said, "I will ask a few of my boys to come over and help you. , If possible, my family will try to grow strawberries in the future."

  Jiang Tangtang immediately understood what Manager Xia meant. Although he asked for less share, he still wanted to learn the technique of growing strawberries. If the income was considerable, he would use the land to grow strawberries in the future. strawberry.

  She didn't care, and nodded: "Okay, it's settled then. My servants happened to open up a large piece of land, and I will use half of it to raise seedlings."

  Manager Xia said, "If you have any difficulties in opening up land, just tell me. ."

  When he said this, Jiang Tangtang was not polite. He took the drawing he drew last night and asked Manager Xia: "What do you think of this iron plow?"

  Jiang Tangtang designed the drawing based on his family's diesel cultivator, which is better than the current iron plow. Much more advanced.

  Manager Xia didn't have time to marvel at Jiang Tangtang's strange painting skills before he was attracted by the strange iron plow above.    

  He said excitedly: "I didn't expect you to be so good at farm tools. I know a blacksmith with good skills. I will take you there and he will be able to type out the things on the drawing according to your requirements."

  Jiang Tangtang naturally wanted it. , hitched the donkey cart, and went to the county town with Manager Xia.

  When leaving, Jiang Tangtang called Xue Banxian by the way. In the past two days, he was preparing to treat Lu Shiyan's leg and needed herbs, tools, etc. Jiang Tangtang gave him twenty taels of silver and asked him to go to the city to prepare the medicine.

  Wang Lachun also got on the donkey cart and went to the city to buy things.

  After entering the city, Wang Lachun went to the cloth store to buy needlepoint and thread. Xue Banxian, however, shrank his hands and feet, looking around as if there was a beast outside.

  "Are you avoiding your enemies?" Jiang Tangtang tilted his head and looked outside.

  "Who is hiding from the enemy?" Xue Banxian jumped like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "I'm just not familiar with the county. I'm just watching the road." "

  Really?" Jiang Tangtang didn't believe him.

  Xue Banxian grumbled and got out of the car. Jiang Tangtang was a little worried, but she had no choice but to suppress her worries and follow Manager Xia to the blacksmith shop.

  Old Li Tou of the blacksmith shop was not only an old acquaintance with Manager Xia, he took the drawing and carefully asked about the size of the iron plow and other issues. He tugged on his beard and thought about it for a while before nodding and saying: "I'll give it a try, it should be It can be done."

  Jiang Tangtang breathed a sigh of relief, "When will it be ready?" "Of course

  the people brought by Lao Xia will work closely with you." Lao Li smiled and said, "Three days! Three days." Pick it up later. Since we are acquaintances, we won't charge a deposit. Just bring ten taels of silver."

  Iron tools were more expensive in this dynasty, and the drawings of the iron plow Jiang Tangtang brought were more complicated. There is a lot of iron, so the price is naturally not cheap.

  Jiang Tangtang sighed in his heart that spending money was like running water, and he couldn't help but think about how to get more money again.

  Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a voice of surprise, "Little lady, it's you!"

  The man said excitedly: "I have found you."

  Jiang Tangtang looked at the strange man in front of him and secretly said on guard: "Brother, you just I'm afraid I got the wrong person!"

  "How could you admit the wrong person! You bought this donkey cart from me! Have you forgotten?" The man said, "I recognized this donkey cart when I saw it when I was passing by. , my son shot it with his own hands. I took one more look, and I didn't expect to see you! It's a good thing I took one more look, otherwise I would have missed it today." Only

  then did Jiang Tangtang remember it and said with a smile, "My boss doesn't know what he wants from me. ? But what's wrong with the donkey cart you sold me?"

  "I'm not looking for you, it's the Song Mansion's young master who's looking for you!" The man said, "My dear lady, can you please come with me to the teahouse opposite? Then let someone inform the Young Master of the Song Mansion."

  Hearing that the Young Master of the Song Mansion was heard, Jiang Tangtang had roughly guessed why, but there was a look of confusion and fear on his face, "The Young Master of the Song Mansion? You didn't, my old club, Are you mistaken? I don't know the Young Master of the Song Mansion!"

  "Don't be afraid, little lady, Young Master Song just wants to ask you something. Don't worry, Young Master Song is a good person and will not embarrass you."

  The man said and looked at Jiang Behind Tangtang, Manager Xia said: "This is your relative! If you are worried, ask your relatives to accompany you."
