Chapter 35
Now that a big order had been signed, Wen Xiang started to make big purchases. The two first went to a ceramics store to buy a hundred pairs of small blue and white porcelain jars with hollow ears and white porcelain spoons.

The owner of the ceramics shop was stunned by this generosity, and Wen Xiang used his three-inch tongue to successfully cut the price down to 55 yuan, and directly emptied all the inventory in the store. Take it again.

Then the two went to the herbal medicine shop and bought about [-] parts of toothpaste raw materials: Poria cocos powder, honeysuckle powder, fine green salt, etc. for future use.

This Herbal No. [-] toothpaste has simple ingredients and uncomplicated ratios. The only thing that is special is the addition of honey and dipterocarp.

Not counting honey and dipterocarp, the total cost of Herbal No. [-] is no more than [-] Wen, and the profit per cost is as high as [-] Wen. It is obvious that this profit cannot be maintained for a long time.

Wen Xiang is convinced that after the first batch of Herb No. [-] is launched, it will soon be imitated by interested people, so there is no need to hoard a large amount of raw materials. It is time to develop Herb No. [-] after this wave of sales.

Yes, she intends to develop more high-end products to make more money by doing double-handed preparations. Herbal No. [-] cannot meet her growing need to make money.

In order to celebrate the big sale of the toothpaste basket, under Wen Xiang's insistence, the two finally stepped into the No. [-] restaurant "Ke Lai Xiang" in Chengnan County for the first time, ready to reward themselves.

As soon as you are seated, when you smell the fragrance, you will point out the rich and generous. First, some meat dishes: big pig’s trotters with sauce, steamed shad, roast lamb, stewed chicken with mushrooms, and then some spring dishes, such as pickled cucumbers, capers and so on. Vegetarian dishes, and finally with a main course of leek dumplings.

The waiter in the shop was a little taken aback by this bold and coquettish operation, and he couldn't help asking the guest officer how many people are eating?
"It's okay, I can't finish eating and walk around, don't worry, your money is indispensable, just serve the food." Wen Xiang made up his mind to pay homage to the temple of the five internal organs, and replenish oil and water.

Wen Dao was speechless, but the objection was futile and the resistance was ineffective, so he could only obey.

Just when Wen Dao was going to teach Wen Xiang well what is thrifty and what is enough, there was a burst of sound of gongs outside the restaurant to clear the way.

There's a show to watch!The melon-eating crowd in the restaurant all rushed to the window to watch the excitement.

Brother and sister Wen Xiang happened to be sitting at the table by the window, so they didn't need to get up, just poked their heads out to have a look, and saw a group of people walking slowly in the distance:
A few soldiers held the flags, carried the cards, and beat a pair of gongs to clear the way in front. In the middle were some figures who looked like officials on horseback, followed by two carriages, and finally two teams of servants.

"Oh, is the county magistrate traveling?" One person asked curiously.

"Are you blind? Can this guard of honor be the magistrate? Do you see what is written on this sign?" One person said disdainfully.

"Oh!" The despised person squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time before sighing: "So it's Master Tongzhi, the master from Fucheng actually came to our small place?"

"Is nothing going to happen?" Another melon eater asked worriedly.

"What can you do with the big man's affairs?"

"That's it, brother Tongji, what kind of mind are you talking about?"

"Why don't you worry about the government examination at the end of the year, wow haha." The ridicule of the crowd made a certain melon eater feel ashamed and irrefutable.

It's a big shot in Fucheng. Wen Xiang took a few curious glances and saw nothing but the bright and bright clothes of the other party. Only when the curtains of the carriage fluctuated with the wind, a woman could be vaguely seen. Where are you still bringing your family?
It's nothing to do with yourself, let's hang it high, let's have a big meal, two people have a meal, the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, and the table is full of bones: except for mutton and dumplings that need to be packed, everything else is eaten and drunk, and before leaving, I packed two Only roast duck and goose.

The meal was really delicious, although it didn’t taste like MSG, but it was a hundred times stronger than the clear soup at home. It was just a pain in the bill when it was time to pay: a meal cost nearly a tael of silver.

In the end, the two people who supported the wall and came out attracted everyone's sideways glances and contempt: Where are the country bumpkins?
It doesn't matter if you have rough skin and thick flesh. As the saying goes, I am not embarrassed, but others are the ones who are embarrassed. In the end, I just walked in the front with my head up and chest out.

Wen Dao walked behind with a look of embarrassment, so he had to lift two big burdens to block in front of him, still holding the pipa to half cover his face.

After leaving the restaurant, the brothers and sisters staggered back to Wenjia Village with their big bags and small bags on their mule carts. one line.

The two groups of people who dismounted to meet each other first had a meal of greetings and various greetings, and then a servant woman stepped forward to lead the two carriages to the side door to the backyard. The magistrate's wife had been waiting at the inner door of the backyard for a long time, and when she saw the carriage coming, she hurriedly dressed up to greet her.

A group of people entered the main hall, Master Tongzhi took the first seat, and the others took the first seat on both sides.

After exchanging pleasantries, the Tongzhi master entered the topic: "Gu Yiling, I am here under the order of the government lord to inspect and observe the habits of this new crop for decision-making. Please tell me in detail."

"Yes, my lord." Gu Zhixian reported the planting and harvesting of sweet potatoes, yams, and jade, and asked Sun Situ to explain some details that were unclear.

"In this way, fourteen stones have been harvested from two acres of land, which is much higher than rice."

"Exactly, if you don't see it in person, you can hardly believe it."

"Where is the sweet potato? I want to see for myself."

"All of them have been purchased at the grain depot, my lord, please move to the grain depot for field inspection."

Therefore, everyone prepared sedan chairs and carriages and went to the grain depot. Only when they saw the fat, round harvest piled up like a hill with their own eyes, could they truly feel the joy of the harvest.

Master Tongzhi picked up a few sweet potatoes and yams and weighed them over and over again, and said: "Okay, the sweet potatoes and yams you planted are very big, stronger than those in Gaozhou County. Their official farmland has four acres of land, but The harvest is not as good as your two acres of land."

"Oh, they have planted it too?" Gu Zhixian thought that Chengnan County was the only one that thrived, but he didn't expect Gaozhou to plant it too, thinking: That doesn't show that we are special.

"A few days ago, Gaozhou sent a stone of harvest, I think it is not as good as you."

"My lord, this crop is ready to be sent to Fucheng. Unfortunately, Li Zuotang led a team to the training camp, and he has been unable to spare his body to transport it. It just so happens that you are here, my lord." Gu Zhixian immediately expressed his opinion (not us Not sent, just understaffed).

"Well, why are your sweet potatoes bigger than those in Gaozhou? But what's the secret?"

"My lord, the land in our Chengnan County is more fertile than that of Gaozhou, so it's only natural that we are bigger. As for the secret, Sun Situ, please report it to your lord." Gu Zhixian turned around and called Situjun out to block the arrows.

"My lord, please allow me to report that this sweet potato was planted by Wen Dao, a farmer in Wenjia Village. He has a set of methods for selecting seeds, raising seedlings, planting, fertilizing, and field management. The crops he grows are higher than others. Even rice It's all doubled."

"Oh? There is such a person who is good at farming. What is the specific method?" Master Tongzhi asked again.
