Abduct a general to farm

The speed of the Yamen is very fast, but it takes only one day to help them complete the business of the business. In the future, they can write the business name on their food packaging, and no one else dares to use it. You can tell it's fake.

All in all it is very convenient.

While everyone is still immersed in the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year and their love for fudge is still maintained, Shu Jiutian and the others decided to invest more manpower in making fudge and develop more flavors to meet everyone's needs.

Mo Ran is a hands-off shopkeeper, and Shu Jiutian is responsible for everything, but when talking about manpower, Mo Ran thought of those beggars who lined up in a long line. In ancient times, there may have been people who became beggars because they were idle and didn't want to work. But most of them became beggars because of necessity and various accidents. Mo Ran thought maybe they could hire beggars who are healthy, hardworking and of good character to do some work.

This will reduce the number of beggars and avoid some tragedies. After all, there are not a few beggars who starve to death or freeze to death every winter. It is also beneficial to the emperor's management of the capital. Mo Ran is just trying his best to help others.

He is not a brainless gang, he will only accept motivated beggars who are really capable and willing to work.

After expressing his thoughts, Shu Jiutian also felt that it was feasible. After all, he was from the capital, and he also had many subordinates. As long as someone checked it out, he would know which beggars could be accepted.

The problem of manpower was quickly resolved. Shu Jiutian sent people to buy a lot of fresh fruits from the south and sent them back quickly, and then put them into the production of fudge.

Because it is divided into two sales channels, high-end and common people, the amount of production is naturally different. Because more fruit juices are added to the fudge made for the clan, the taste of the fruit will be more mellow and rich, and the price will only be high and not low. .

The fruity flavor of fudge for ordinary people will be lighter, so that the cost will be reduced, and the selling price will be lower, making it affordable for ordinary people.

Of course, it is winter now, and fruits are not easy to come by, so the price is naturally high. The price of fudge with fruit juice is actually not very low, but no matter how expensive it is, it can be tasted.

Even if some people can't afford fruit flavors, there are only pure sugar flavored gummies, which are the cheapest.

The people in the new factory over there are rushing to work, going through each process one by one. Shu Jiutian is not idle here. On the one hand, he needs to make sure that the amount of fruit can be maintained stably, and on the other hand, he also needs to find a good painter to design a logo for them. , and then write the trade name.

The word "trademark" was taught to him by Mo Ran. What he understands is similar to a business name, as long as it has characteristics that can be remembered by the public.

There are many talents in the capital, and it is easy to find a painter, but before Shu Jiutian ordered someone to hire a painter, Tang Xun stopped him, saying that he could paint, and he didn't want money.

Inside and outside the words implied that Shu Jiutian asked him to paint to save money.

Shu Jiutian frowned, and looked at him dubiously, "You...can draw?"

This is good-looking, has a nice voice, can sing opera, and now can paint, except for the bad family background, there seems to be a lot of advantages, except for deceiving people.

Tang Xun smiled warmly, and nodded with crooked eyebrows: "Yes, I can help you draw. When you are satisfied, I can also help you design the words of the business name. I will not charge you."

He emphasized the last sentence, and then quietly waited for Shu Jiutian's reply.

Shu Jiutian was naturally shamefully moved, not because of Tang Xun's beauty, but because he said that he didn't want money.

Masters who paint well in Danqing usually receive a lot of money. Although Shu Jiutian is not short of money, it is a fortune to save money, and it is still a large sum, which makes anyone tempted.

He hesitated for a while, but it was better to nod and let Tang Xun paint.

He comforted himself in his heart that this was what Tang Xun should do, but he had spent a lot of money to redeem Tang Xun, and he could leave when he paid off all the money, so he would not stop him.

Obviously Tang Xun took the initiative to rely on Shu Jiutian, and he was troubled by it, but now he completely forgot, and he didn't notice the smug smile in Tang Xun's eyes when he agreed.

Three days later, a new batch of fudge was sold here at Jiutian Restaurant. Although Shu Jiutian once complained that his good restaurant had gradually turned into a snack shop, this did not prevent him from eating fudge and sugar cakes. They are all sold in restaurants.

Those who got the news almost broke the threshold of Jiutian Restaurant on this day, because they recruited enough people and produced a lot every day, so everyone came empty-handed and returned with a full load, with a happy smile on their faces.

Seeing the servants of those big families take out a big bag of silver without changing their expressions, and wave their hands without blinking, they buy a big bag of various flavors of fudge, most of which are fruit flavored, and some of them even He also ordered fudge in a few days, and let the people from Jiutian Restaurant deliver it to his house. Mo Ran lamented that the money of the ancients was really easy to make.

Just some candy would drive them crazy, and the money would make him laugh in his dreams.If he witnessed the scene of people scrambling to buy fudge on New Year's Day, he might feel even more crazy and terrifying.

It may also be because Tang Xun Danqing's craftsmanship is so good, he didn't design another pattern, but conceived a unique pattern with the four words "Mo's Snacks", so whether it is in the soft candy It is applicable to the packaging of food or other food packaging.

In addition to the design of combining trademarks and business names, Tang Xun also drew several packaging styles, all of which would be liked by young ladies. Using different styles of bags to distinguish them from ordinary people must make rich people more willing to pay.

Even Mo Ran couldn't put it down after seeing the package with that pattern drawn on it, and just wanted to collect it properly, let alone other people, whether it was for novelty fudge or beautiful packaging, they were willing to pay for it.

"It seems that you are still useful." Shu Jiutian's tone was flat, as if he was just saying it casually, completely gone from the fanaticism he used to be. Mo Ran looked at him in surprise, thinking that it was just a gender that made Shu Jiutian treat Miss Tang. , No, it's because of the drastic change in attitude towards Mr. Tang. How much has he been stimulated?

Tang Xun himself didn't seem to care, he took Shu Jiutian's words as a compliment, and smiled brightly at Shu Jiutian. His smile was so bright that Shu Jiutian couldn't help shaking his head.

Seeing this, Tang Xun smiled even brighter.Shu Jiutian came to his senses, turned his head away in embarrassment, and distanced himself from him.

He intentionally left Tang Xun aside, and talked to Mo Ran: "The Lantern Festival will be in nine days, and you have to eat floating yuanzi during the Lantern Festival. What flavor do you like, Mo Ran?"

Fuyuanzi, that is, glutinous rice balls, also known as Yuanxiao, must be eaten during the Lantern Festival. Mo Ran said without hesitation: "I like to eat Fuyuanzi stuffed with jujube paste and sesame seeds."

Shu Jiutian exclaimed: "What a coincidence, so do I. I also like rose stuffing, it's very fragrant."

"My father is busy with the affairs of the court. My elder brother goes to the palace every day and doesn't know what to do. My second elder brother went to the border with General Jiang."

Shu Jiutian said that he just bent one finger when he was alone, "I am the only one left in the mansion, Mo Ran, can I go to your general's mansion to eat some floating yuanzi when the Lantern Festival comes? No one will accompany me It would be too miserable to eat me."

Although Shu Jiutian was just looking for a topic to make a fool of himself, Mo Ran still agreed: "Mother definitely welcomes you, but you still have your father and your elder brother here, they will definitely be at home during the Lantern Festival."

Shu Jiutian sneered: "That's not necessarily the case."

Leaving aside the fact that his father is a busy man, his eldest brother, for some reason, has regarded the palace as his own home, and has been away from home day by day. Who knows if they were at home at that time.

"Whether they are here or not, I will go to your house. You don't know that Guo Zitong has been running to my house for no reason recently, always annoying me. I really don't want to hear her babbling."

Tang Xun also thought of the purple-clothed woman who was pestering Shu Jiutian, snorted coldly in his heart, and coughed lightly not far away, Shu Jiutian immediately glared over: "What are you coughing, do you want to go too!"

Tang Xun smiled and said, "Jiu Tian is willing to let me go, I am very honored."

Shu Jiutian was so angry that he almost jumped his feet: "I am not inviting you, you are not allowed to go."

Seeing that the situation might become uncontrollable, Mo Ran quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, let him go if he wants to, so that the house will be more lively, and mothers should be happy if there are more people."

Thinking of their safety here, but Ajiu's side is full of dangers, Mo Ran felt a little sad, not only he was worried about Ajiu's safety, Xue Rouzhi was also worried, but he didn't show it on the surface.

The mansion is deserted, there are many people at least lively, Xue Rouzhi should be happy, Mo Ranqiang restrained his emotions and comforted Shu Jiutian.

Either way, they end up going.

Glutinous rice balls are also a business opportunity. Now that we have mentioned this, they are making money anyway. Mo Ran asked what flavors Fuyuanzi has, and there are quite a lot of answers, but they are definitely not as rich as modern ones.

He took advantage of the opportunity to say all the flavors he knew, the method was the same, but the fillings were different.

For things like glutinous rice balls and buns, the difference lies in the filling. First, the filling must be well seasoned, and then the outer skin.

It didn’t take long for the soft candy to have new flavors of floats, and it can also make floats of different colors, which is very attractive when you hear it.

The two hit it off immediately, and got together to discuss the next plan, leaving Tang Xun, who was not looking very good, standing aside, out of place.

One day after that, news from the frontier was suddenly sent to the palace. It seemed that Jiang Jingjiu had found the reason why the barbarians had enough food and grass.

It was also because of the Third Prince and Concubine Chen, who did not expect them to provide the Hu people with a large amount of food and grass early on. The amount was not only enough for the Hu people to survive the cold winter, but also enough for the battlefield, such as now.

They finally understood what Concubine Chen Guifei wanted to say but didn't finish before she committed suicide, and it really had something to do with the barbarians.

Speaking of the third prince, he is no longer the third prince. Zhao Hua has been imprisoned in the cell of the palace since he became a madman and has not been dealt with. Now that he knows that the barbarian's food and grass are provided by them, Zhao Xuan is not soft-hearted. Zhao Hua was dealt with, along with Concubine Chen's mother clan.

Just on the day of the Lantern Festival, Jiang Jingjiu led his ten guards to raid the barbarian camp, wounding the leader of the barbarians and losing a lot of their troops, and returned smoothly. The important thing is that they destroyed at least half of the enemy's food supply. Inflict heavy damage, and the stalemate battle situation has been progressed in stages.

Of course, Mo Ran didn't know these things, Shu Jiutian came to the General's Mansion that day as scheduled, and when the letter was delivered to the capital, he was busy making glutinous rice balls with Xue Rouzhi, Shu Jiutian and others.

It was cold and windy outside, laughter was everywhere in the mansion, finally the General's Mansion was not so deserted.
