The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Chapter 126 Year-End Bonus

The faint scent of osmanthus drifted in the cold air, looming and refreshing. The master and servants opposite them couldn't help but twitch their noses.

"What a nice smell... This smells so good..."

The lady snatched the bottle from Xiang Tao's hand. Xiang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then his original expression returned to his original expression in an instant.

The lady carefully examined the small and exquisite porcelain bottle and the clever bottle cap for a while before she looked up and confirmed with Xiang Tao again: "You said, this is called perfume?"

"Yes, ma'am." Xiang Tao nodded gently, "This is also a new product in our store. You are the first customer to see this."

"How much silver is this bottle?"

"There are two other scents here, Madam, why don't you try them first?" Xiang Tao said, picking up the other two bottles and letting her try them one by one. Taking this opportunity, Xiang Tao's gentle voice rang out in the room: "These perfumes are all newly developed by the county lady. Not to mention the complicated and difficult production process, just this small bottle alone consumes ten kilograms of dried flowers. Moreover, it is still winter now, and dried flowers are even more difficult to find."

It must be said that Xiang Tao is a natural sales champion.

Xiang Tao paused, pursed her lips, and seemed embarrassed to continue: "So the price of this perfume is also relatively high. How much does it cost?"

Xiang Tao said this while holding up two fingers.

"Two hundred taels?" The lady raised her voice slightly, but before Xiang Tao could explain, she nodded and said softly, "It's worth it..."

When Xiang Tao heard this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained, "No, no, no, Madam, it doesn't have to be that expensive, only twenty taels a bottle."

Wow! Xiang Tao originally thought that twenty taels per bottle was already expensive, but he didn't expect that this lady could quote two hundred taels. She is indeed a lady from a wealthy family.

"Twenty taels?" The lady was surprised, then she smiled, "I just said two hundred taels, which means it's worth that much in my heart. You are honest and only quoted 10% of the price."

Xiang Tao smiled sincerely: "Madam, you don't know, our county lady does business, and we pay attention to clearly marking prices and being honest to everyone."

"Hahaha, my trip today really wasn't in vain." The lady laughed heartily, "Then give me ten bottles of each fragrance."

She was just worrying about what gifts to give to her friends during the New Year. Now this perfume is a good idea and much more novel than those jewellery.

"okay."

Xiang Tao's business was booming here. After Xiang Tao and the others left, Gu Yin went to discuss the making of lanterns with the county magistrate.

After discussing the making of lanterns, Gu Yin led people carrying a box to the woodworking workshop.

The woodworking workshop is now also under Gu Yin's name. She only needs to pay a certain amount of silver to the government regularly.

Gu Feng was sent by Gu Yin to build an inn, so Ji Ming was now in charge of the workshop. When Gu Yin arrived, everyone in the workshop was busy. Since the establishment of the workshop, there have been continuous orders, and the workers worked hard every day as if they were injected with chicken blood.

But they have no complaints, and the reason is very simple: they have a lot of money.

Ji Ming was facing the door, instructing a worker. Suddenly he noticed someone coming in. He looked up and asked in surprise, "County Lady, why are you here?"

Gu Yin raised the corner of her mouth and said casually: "Come and see you."

Ji Ming was about to invite Gu Yin to the studio for tea, but was stopped by Gu Yin.

"No need for tea, tell me what you guys are doing?"

"Gu Feng said that the inn needs a flush toilet, and he also said it was your request. Look, Gu Shu is leading us in researching it." Ji Ming said honestly.

"Oh...so that's it. How's your progress now?" Gu Feng was sent by her to build an inn. Unexpectedly, he was quite smart and asked Gu Feng to figure out this in advance.

"Gu Shu is very powerful. The main difficulties of the mechanism have been solved. Now only some parts are not good enough. You also know that Gu Shu is particularly pursuing perfection in these things." Although Ji Ming literally blamed Gu Shu for being too perfect, the expression of admiration on his face could not be concealed.

"Striving for excellence is a spirit we should all learn from." Gu Yin nodded with satisfaction. "Gather everyone together. I have something to announce."

Ji Ming ran to pass the message without saying a word. For a while, there was constant calling in the workshop. In less than a cup of tea, everyone gathered in the open space in the middle.

Gu Shu was leaning on a cane. Gu Yin asked him to sit next to him, but he insisted on standing with the others.

Gu Yin stood on a high place, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "Everyone has been busy working lately. Thank you for your hard work."

As soon as Gu Yin finished speaking, the crowd suddenly began to noisily discuss.

"The county lady actually told us that it was hard work?"

"It's normal for us to get paid to do things."

Gu Yin raised her hands and pressed them down, and the scene gradually quieted down: "Everyone, please stop talking and listen to me."

"In recent months, orders have been pouring in continuously, and everyone has witnessed it. We have also seen everyone working together to produce one product after another. In order to thank everyone for their efforts and to let everyone go back home and have a happy Chinese New Year, I have decided to give everyone a year-end bonus."

"Year-end bonus?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion; they had never heard of this term.

"That's right, it's the year-end bonus. As the name suggests, the year-end bonus is the reward money given at the end of the year. You have performed very well in the past few months, so everyone will get a reward." Gu Yin said, and ordered the two people who accompanied him to open the box containing the silver.

When everyone saw the box of silver on the table, the scene suddenly became boiling, just like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil.

"That's a lot of silver!"

"Is this for us?"

"Could this be the year-end bonus the county lady was talking about? Am I dreaming?" One person rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then pulled the hand of the person next to him and pinched it hard.

"Hiss...Why are you pinching me?" The man felt pain from being pinched and couldn't help but scream out in surprise.

"Hahaha, this is not a dream. This is the first time I've seen so much silver."

People in different positions receive different amounts of silver rewards. For example, for a super technical expert like Gu Shu, the bonus must be unique, and Gu Yin set a reward of two hundred taels for him.

In fact, the two hundred taels were nothing to Gu Shu. After all, if it was a new tool developed by him, Gu Yin would give him a share of the profits.

Then there was Ji Ming. As the manager, he got thirty taels just like Wu Yinian and the others. The others got twenty taels, ten taels, and even five taels and one tael.

Ji Ming took the roll call list and distributed silver to the workers one by one. Everyone who received the silver was grinning from ear to ear, and they could have a great year this year.

After the silver was distributed, Gu Yin made a gesture for silence again, and everyone calmed down, suppressing their excitement.

"I believe everyone has received their own reward silver. At the same time, you should have also discovered that some people received different amounts of reward silver. Some people may ask why some people get more and some get less when everyone works together?"
