Chapter 181 The two gentlemen's plans

After settling the two hosts, Luo Sheng accompanied Meixiang and the group to Old Man Luo's house.

Xiao San, Mei Ying and two children had already gone to Luo Lao's house to prepare lunch. When Luo Lao came home after work, lunch was ready and waiting for him to come back.

"I'm really sorry, everyone. I'm a bit busy today. Please forgive me, hehe..." Old man Luo greeted everyone as he walked in. He said "please forgive me" but the smile on his face made people speechless no matter how they looked at it.

"I don't have much to do today. I just want to bring two gentlemen here to introduce them to you. The one in the white robe is Mr. Dou, and the other one in the brown robe is Mr. Shi. Both gentlemen are very knowledgeable in medicine." Meixiang saw that both parties were looking at each other. Although her stomach was rumbling, she had to introduce them first: "Mr. Dou, Mr. Shi, this is Old Man Luo, the village chief of Luojia Village, and the leader of the Liuzhou Prefecture medicinal materials base. He has some experience in medicinal materials planting. Okay, Uncle Luo, go wash up and eat first. If you have anything to say, we can talk after you finish eating. I'm starving. Yo!"

The little girl's tone and expression caused everyone to laugh, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed.

Xiao San brought some meals prepared by Aunt Li and Aunt Liu in the morning from the Liu Mansion. Now Aunt Li and Aunt Liu, along with a few little maids, have completely taken over the kitchen of the Liu Mansion. Nanny Chen has freed up her hands to take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of Meixiang and her daughter, and occasionally goes to the kitchen to make some pastries for Xiao Shiqi and the others.

The food they brought only needed to be simply heated up before being eaten at Old Man Luo's house. In addition, Xiao San picked some vegetables from the vegetable garden in his yard and added three stir-fried vegetables and a vegetarian soup, which made a very sumptuous lunch.

Old Man Luo and Mr. Luo were already used to their behavior of bringing their own food. Firstly, there were many of them, and Old Man Luo's family didn't have a hostess to greet the guests. It would be too late for Xiao San and the others to cook every time; secondly, Old Man Luo's family didn't have many ingredients to serve the guests. After Meixiang explained it twice, they didn't say anything more and accepted it naturally.

Miss Liu didn't treat them as outsiders, so they couldn't be so ungrateful, right?

After dinner, everyone sat in the shade of the yard, drinking tea and chatting.

"Miss, in my opinion, the effect of our publicity is gradually showing. Recently, more and more people like Mr. Tan and Mr. Wang come to buy medicinal materials. They are already the fifth wave of customers this month." Old man Luo happily reported his achievements like a child asking for praise from his parents.

Meixiang looked at the excited old man Luo, whose face was slightly red and who was speaking incoherently, and she was sincerely happy for him, the villagers of Luojia Village and the surrounding villagers. It was hard to associate this cat with the lonely old man who was soliciting customers to buy medicinal herbs in the dark corners of the streets of Fucheng when she first saw him a few months ago.

At this time, a villager came in with two people dressed as servants. It turned out that Mr. Tan and Mr. Wang wanted to visit other villages where medicinal herbs were grown in half an hour, and they wanted to stay overnight tonight, so they asked them to come and ask if it was convenient.

Upon hearing this, Luo Sheng immediately stood up and said, "Miss, gentlemen, please sit down first, I'll go over and take a look." After saying this, he hurriedly followed the visitor out.

"Uncle Luo, when did you start providing meals and accommodation?" Meixiang asked curiously as she watched the four people hurried away. The others also looked at old man Luo with puzzled expressions.

"Hehe," Old Man Luo laughed a little embarrassedly when this topic was mentioned, and scratched his head: "Isn't this learning from Master Ou? What's it called: considerate service, development system. The lunch money is also the rules that Master Ou took out. For each household that trades more than 30 wen, one wen is taken out for every additional 20 wen to be used for receiving guests. No money is charged for less than 30 wen. If you stay overnight, each guest will be charged a symbolic wen per night, and the horse will be charged a wen. The deficit will be made up by the commission. And the wages of two wen per person per day for those villagers who help are also paid from here."

"Master Ou also stipulated that every customer who comes to Liuzhou Prefecture to buy herbs must come to the Luojia Village official to register and settle accounts. Private transactions are not allowed. Otherwise, not only will the village be punished, but their village will no longer have a share of any good things in the future. Everyone is treated equally, and the money received and spent is managed by the official. It is said that when there is more money in the future, in addition to repairing roads and rivers, a school will be opened to hire teachers for the children in the village, so everyone is very motivated now. Haha..."

Meixiang was stunned after hearing this. Is there such a thing? Ou Mengde got into the role of the master very quickly.

Then he asked another question, "I heard you also sell cakes and drinks?"

"Hehe, when the first customer came to Luojia Village to buy herbs, Manager Liu from the wine shop found me and asked us to help sell the wine. He said the commission would be based on the proportion of herbs. I even said no commission, but... Manager Liu was really polite, saying that there is no order without rules. I couldn't refuse, so I had to agree."

"As for the cakes, this is really an idea that the smart women in the village came up with. Who doesn't have a wife and children? When you go on a long journey, you always have to bring some gifts back for them, right? Miss, you know what, the business is pretty good. Every boss will buy some to take home for their families to taste. By the way, the cakes that Miss brought today are good and very unique. I wonder if you can teach us?"

Everyone was speechless. Is he addicted to doing business? He really doesn't want to miss any opportunity. "This is what Nanny Chen from the Liu Mansion made today. If you are interested, send a few people to learn from her someday. Or you can ask her to come to Luojia Village to teach you." Looking at the old man Luo's smiling face like a cat that has stolen some fish, Meixiang suddenly thought of other businesses, and then learned the trick of Manager Liu: "Oh, I wonder if there will be business for those flower teas, cloths, ready-made clothes, etc.?"

Now it was Old Man Luo's turn to be stunned. Isn't his ability to learn by analogy a bit too strong? But it's really a good idea. The business may not be as good as the wine, but it will definitely be more or less.

"It doesn't matter whether the business is good or not. The key is to increase the publicity and add some variety to your place, right?" Meixiang said to Old Man Luo with a smile, "Please plan a place for me later. It would be best if you build a row of shops in a suitable place. As long as you come to Luojia Village, you can get whatever you want. Hahaha..."
