Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 82 Picking Mulberries

Han Duyue blushed, and stared at Song Ning in embarrassment, she really wasn't used to such love words.

"Miss Han, if this mulberry wine is really as effective as Miss Han said, it is really a good thing." Li Kaishi shouldn't have planned the flirting between the two, but he was also in a hurry to take the mulberry wine. The matter was decided, so I couldn't help but said, "I don't know what Miss Han's plan is?"

"Scarcity is the most precious thing, and quality is more important than weight. I want to sell only a hundred jars of fruit wine every month. As for the cycle to sell out, it needs to be decided by shopkeeper Li. In addition, I think every month Introduce a new flavor, and each flavor of fruit wine must have its own unique packaging, so that there are twelve flavors of fruit wine in one year. If the buyer can collect twelve flavors of fruit wine, we will give another flavor as a gift No.13 fruit wine, this kind of fruit wine is not sold, it is only used as a gift. So what does shopkeeper Li think?" Even in modern times, red wine can be classified as luxury goods, and the price of some red wine It was ridiculously expensive.

Although Han Duyue didn't intend to make a fortune with this thing, the more he can earn, the better, so packaging and sales methods are still very important.

Li Kaishi thought about it seriously, and nodded in agreement: "What Miss Han said is very true, this idea is really good."

Han Duyue and Li Kaishi carefully discussed the sale time, form, packaging, taste and other issues, and then it was time to consider brewing fruit wine.

Since it needs to be done in large batches, the brewing tools must be prepared first, followed by the mulberry itself.

"Leave the clay pot to me, and it can be done within a day. Is there anything else that needs my help?" Song Ning volunteered to take over the job.

Han Duyue shook her head: "No more, just leave the mulberries to me. I've already thought about what to do."

"Okay, then I will go to the town with shopkeeper Li." Song Ning nodded.

"Okay, just wait for me," Han Duyue resealed the two cans of mulberry wine that he had succeeded before, and handed them to Song Ning and Li Kaishi respectively, "You and shopkeeper Li both have a taste, the amount is not much, so don't be disgusted .”

"How could it be..." Li Kaishi smiled happily, even if Han Duyue didn't take the initiative to do so, he would definitely ask for it.

After seeing off the two of them, Han Duyue turned around and saw Xiaonian looking at her with tears in his eyes: "Xiaonian, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister, Brother Song's words don't count!" Xiao Nian complained with his mouth flattened.

Han Duyue raised her eyebrows suspiciously: "Why do you say that?"

"Brother Song said that he would drink the mulberry wine for me when it was ready, but just now he deliberately pretended not to see me, and just took the wine jar away!" Xiaonian was about to cry, and he hadn't tasted it yet. How about the taste of mulberry wine?

Hearing this, Han Duyue smiled unkindly: "Good boy, next time I see Song Ning, sister will teach him a lesson for you, and then help you get that altar of wine back. But now, sister still I need your help with something."

"What's the matter? I'm sure I can do it well." As soon as he heard that he had something to do, Xiaonian immediately regained his energy.

Han Duyue had been thinking about how to win over the villagers, and now that the opportunity was in front of her, she naturally couldn't let it go: "Xiao Nian, do you know which families in the village have more sensible and kind-hearted children?"

"I know, the big hairy man at the west end of the village is very nice. After I was beaten before, he even gave me a piece of candy! And Xiaolin at the west end of the village is also very good. I used to go to cut pigweed with my mother I've seen her before... By the way, there's Brother Xiao Wu, Brother Xiao Wu is also very nice!" Xiaonian proudly told all he knew.

Han Duyue had never heard of those children before, but she seemed to have some impression of the last one: "Brother Wu, is that the one we met when we went to the old house?"

"That's right, it's him!" Xiao Nian's impression of Brother Xiao Wu was obviously good.

Han Duyue didn't have any negative feelings towards Xiao Wu, but when she thought of his mother, Han Duyue shook her head resolutely: "If you don't look for him, you can just find the little friends you mentioned earlier, just Say I want them to help with something, you'd better say it in front of their parents and elders. If they don't want to come, or the adults in their family don't want them to come, don't force them, understand?"

"I see!" Although Xiaonian didn't know what Han Duyue wanted to do, he nodded obediently.

About half an hour later, Xiaonian came back, followed by six children, four boys and two girls.

"Sister, I brought them! They are all willing to come, and their parents heard that they are here to help my family, and they are very happy to let them come," Xiaonian ran to Han Duyue and opened his mouth as if asking for credit. mouth, but then his face darkened again, "But Brother Xiao Wu didn't come, Brother Xiao Wu wanted to come, but Aunt Li refused to let him come."

"Xiao Nian has done a good job!" Han Duyue looked at the six children carefully, and couldn't help nodding. From their expressions, it can be seen that these children should be relatively well-behaved and sensible. It's just that one of the little girls is too small, her face and body are thin, and her family background is probably not very good.

"Xiao Nian, can you and sister introduce these children?" Han Duyue smiled slightly.

Xiaonian nodded, and started to introduce from left to right. When he introduced the thin little girl, Xiaonian smiled happily: "This is Xiaolin, she is as old as me."

Han Duyue was a little surprised, she didn't expect that Xiao Lin who Xiaonian said had cut pigweed with him was a five-year-old girl.

"Hello Xiaolin, do you know what I called you over for?" Han Duyue smiled slightly, his expression was extraordinarily gentle.

Although Xiaolin was thin and small, she was not shy at all. After hearing this, her big eyes showed a trace of doubt: "Didn't you tell us to help?"

"I'm here to help. Me, I want to ask you to help me pick mulberries, can I?" Han Duyue immediately developed a good impression of Xiaolin, and Xiaolin can still behave when her family is not very good. Han Duyue was inexplicably relieved to be so cheerful and strong.

"Picking mulberries? I can do this!" Another little boy opened his mouth loudly, his eyes lit up.

Looking at the children, the smile on Han Duyue's face became stronger: "Well, I will make it clear to you in advance that I asked you to help me pick mulberries. It is not a waste of work. Each of you will help me pick three baskets mulberry, I will give you ten Wen each, okay?"

"I don't want money. I'm here to help. You don't need money to help." Xiaolin was the first to shake her head, her big eyes were extraordinarily clear.

Several other children also shook their heads one after another, but their eyes were more or less full of surprise and expectation. You must know that in their eyes, ten pennies is a lot of wealth.

Han Duyue's eyebrows and eyes were curved with a smile, and she was in a very happy mood: "I know you are here to help, but I can't let you work for nothing. Do you think I gave too little money?"

"How could it be? Ten cents is enough for me to buy 30 yuan of maltose!" The little boy who spoke before had bright eyes, as if he had already seen the maltose beckoning to him.

Han Duyue couldn't help laughing, and explained the request for picking mulberries in detail, and let them go to work.

Xiaonian also carried a basket to help, and before leaving, he still said to Han Duyue righteously: "Sister, I can also pick three baskets of mulberries, but I don't need money!"

Han Duyue watched Xiaonian leave with a smile, and sat in the yard directly waiting.

The reason why she wanted to do this was first of all to see the faces of the people in the village. She didn't know much about the situation in the village before, but after that, she at least knew that there were a few families that might be able to come and go.

Secondly, she is naturally trying to win people's hearts, using children to win people's hearts, not only because children have a very important position in the hearts of their parents, but also because these children spread the word very quickly. It is estimated that there is no need to wait until tomorrow. Everyone should know about the fact that she paid someone to help her pick mulberries.

Han Duyue also wants the villagers to know that she is not the kind of person who hides and hides herself to make money. As long as she is willing to help her, she is not stingy about giving these people equal or even more than the value of their labor.

Well, in fact, there is another purpose, that is, she wants to give a small lesson to those who stand on the sidelines and even want to see their family's jokes.

When the other friends see the rewards these children get, especially those who were stopped by their parents, they will definitely get nagging in front of their parents, and they will regret it to death!

Han Duyue only waited for half an hour, and several children came back with full baskets one after another. To Han Duyue's surprise, the first person who came back with a basket was Xiaolin.

After Xiaolin dumped the mulberries in the basket into the designated basket, she hurried to fill the second basket.

After walking back and forth a few times like this, the three big baskets were already full.

Han Duyue took a string of copper coins very faithfully, and handed out ten coins to each person one by one. At first, some people were unwilling to take it, but under Han Duyue's coercion and lure, they could only obediently obey in the end.

The six children took the money, with cheerful smiles on their faces, thanked Han Duyue one after another, and left with the money they had earned.

The same is true for Xiaolin, but Han Duyue always felt that a hint of helplessness seemed to flash in her eyes when she got the money.

"Xiao Lin, aren't you happy to get the money?" Han Duyue asked with some doubts.

Xiao Lin pursed her lips and shook her head.

Xiaonian helped her speak: "Sister, Xiaolin's grandma is similar to our previous grandma."

Seeing Xiaolin's tangled expression, Han Duyue nodded clearly, presumably Xiaolin was afraid that the ten cents would be confiscated directly after taking it back.

"Miss Xiaoyue, I want to ask you something." Xiao Lin hesitated for a while before asking.
