Chapter 301: The Sun Family Sends Someone Privately
As soon as the horse carriage drove into Yuhe Village, it attracted the attention of the villagers.
Seeing the mother and daughter on the carriage, the villagers were surprised and happy, and greeted them one after another:
"Xiaoxiao's mother, you're finally here."
"It's been more than half a month since you left; it's really been a long time since we've seen you."
"Yeah, yeah, not seeing you in the village, we're actually a bit unaccustomed to it."
Listening to the warm greetings of the villagers, Jiang Xiaoxiao also replied with a smile: "Thank you all for your concern, come to our house to play when you have time..."
Jiang Xuelien sat in the carriage, looking out from the carriage window, and could see the warm and sincere smiles of the villagers; in their eyes looking at the Jiang family mother and daughter, besides smiles, there was also a bit of respect.
She couldn't help but feel a bit strange.
Although Madam Jiang and Xiaoxiao were very good people, how could they make all the people in the village respect them so much?
Could it be that they were big shots with hidden identities living in the countryside?
As the carriage gradually drove in, passing by the soap workshop, it finally stopped in front of the Jiang family gate.
Seeing this two-story Chinese-style courtyard villa surrounded by high walls in front of her, Jiang Xuelien couldn't help but be stunned.
T-this... is this a place where people in the countryside live?!
This is simply better than where some wealthy families in Xuzhou town live!
Jiang Xiaoxiao jumped off the carriage to open the door.
Jiang Wei continued to drive the carriage into the courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, the two-story courtyard with a large courtyard in front of her looked even more high-end and atmospheric.
Jiang Xuelien opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
Such a big house.
Do only Madam Jiang and Xiaoxiao live here?
Jiang Xiaoxiao lifted the carriage curtain, pulled the stunned Jiang Xuelien off the carriage, and said with a smile: "From now on, you will live here with us."
"N-no..." Jiang Xuelien subconsciously wanted to refuse, but just as the words left her mouth, a group of people poured in from outside.
It was the workers from the soap workshop.
As soon as they heard that the Jiang family mother and daughter had returned, they couldn't wait to come out and see.
"Oh my, Xiaoxiao's mother, you're finally back." Auntie Qiulian greeted them, her tired face unable to hide her happiness.
Ever since the mother and daughter left for Xuzhou, the affairs of the soap workshop had been managed and taken care of by her and Zhao Dasao.
This huge soap workshop, having to manage so many workers, checking and counting the soap produced every day, it would be a lie to say it wasn't tiring.
She and Zhao Dasao came here almost before dawn every day and couldn't go home until it was pitch black.
Fortunately, there was nothing else to do in this season of late autumn and early winter.
"You've worked hard." Looking at the tired Auntie Qiulian and Zhao Dasao standing silently on the side, Jiang Wei said, "I'll go cook in a while; you two stay and have a meal together."
"Forget it, forget it." Auntie Qiulian waved her hand to refuse, "You rushed back from Xuzhou all the way, exhausted from the journey; it's said you didn't even sleep well, so you should rest well for a day first, and then entertain us when you have time later."
After speaking, she began to drive the workers back to the soap workshop to work: "Alright, alright, you've seen the people, let's hurry back to work, don't delay other people's orders."
"Orders?" Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment.
"During the days you were away, several wealthy merchants came from Qingping County and ordered several large batches of soap; I helped to accept them." Zhao Dasao explained on the side, handing over a piece of order paper.
Jiang Xiaoxiao took it and looked; there were four batches of people in total, all of whom were wealthy merchants and shopkeepers who had ordered large batches of soap from her house before.
It seems that the soap they ordered from her house last time was sold out, and after tasting the sweetness of the huge profits, they came to order again, and the quantity ordered was not small.
Jiang Xiaoxiao put away the order paper, thought for a moment, and said: "Postpone their orders for a few days, and prioritize the Xuzhou side first."
After all, the profits in Xuzhou are large, and it's their own shop, so they must prioritize it.
Zhao Dasao nodded and began to report the situation of the soap workshop these past few days and the existing inventory in detail.
"... During the days you were away, everyone didn't slack off, coming to work on time every day; now the storage volume of soap has reached ten thousand pieces..."
Ten thousand pieces?!
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing this number; so many?
It seems that a batch can be transported to Xuzhou first.
"Has anything happened to the soap workshop recently?" Jiang Wei asked casually after tying the horse to the stable and coming out.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Dasao fell silent.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was surprised: "It wouldn't really be that something happened, right."
Zhao Sister-in-law didn't speak, just glanced at Jiang Xuelien on the side, seemingly considering whether she should say it in front of an outsider.
Jiang Wei said directly: "It's okay, you can say it; she is a person of my Jiang family from now on."
Jiang Xuelien, who was originally embarrassed by Zhao Sister-in-law's gaze, was hesitating whether to avoid it, when she suddenly heard Jiang Wei say such a sentence, and the whole person felt as if she was soaked in a honey pot, sweet and happy.
She lowered her head shyly and leaned toward Jiang Wei.
Zhao Dasao then said: "Actually, it's not a big deal; it's just... during the days you were away, I heard from Da Gang that a stranger with a strange face privately looked for the workers of the soap workshop a few days ago."
"A stranger?" Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned, "Where did they come from?"
"I quietly asked a few workers of the soap workshop, and they said it was someone from the Sun family of Qingping County." Zhao Dasao said, "I guess they were probably trying to buy the soap formula."
"Buy the formula..." Jiang Xiaoxiao's brows sank.
I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case.
Sun family members had come to buy the formula before, and after being rejected by her house, they shouldn't come to eat this snub again.
They looked for the soap workshop workers separately, I'm afraid they had other plans.
"Who among the soap workshop workers did they look for?" Jiang Wei asked.
"They looked for Shuanzi's mother, Zhang family's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang Dalin, Gao Daniu..." Zhao Dasao counted on her fingers, "Oh, right, there's also Wu Sanshen, probably just these few."
Listening to these names, Jiang Xiaoxiao's brows gradually relaxed.
Fortunately, these people were all honest people in the village, or people who had a good friendship with her house.
Except for that one called Wu Sanshen.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't have much impression of her, only remembering that she had been lazy in the soap workshop before, and then corrected it after being taught a lesson by her mother once.
But this person couldn't be taken lightly either.
Jiang Wei noted down these names and asked about other things.
By the time Zhao Dasao left, it was almost dusk.
They had returned a bit late, and upon returning, they had to deal with so many things, and they hadn't eaten lunch yet.
Jiang Wei simply handed the task of cooking to Jiang Xuelien and went to the soap workshop herself.
At this time, the workers of the soap workshop were preparing to finish work, and seeing her come, they greeted her one after another.
Jiang Wei nodded slightly, didn't look for anyone to ask specifically, but told everyone to hurry home, and if there was anything, they would talk about it tomorrow.
Wu Sanshen, standing in the crowd, breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and then went home without looking back.
Jiang Wei waited until everyone had left before entering the warehouse of the soap workshop, and then waved her hand to collect all the soap into the space. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 302 =====
