Chapter 1262: Won’t Let Her Make a Move
Su Ningxiu left, saying she was going to her maternal home to inquire about her eldest brother’s situation, and that she would tell Su Yunjin the outcome once she found out. Second Sister Su Ningxiu had brought over an aromatic sachet and a stuffed tiger. The full moon celebration for the Little Prince of the Prince Qi Residence was the day after tomorrow, and Su Yunjin carefully stored away the aromatic sachet and stuffed tiger. She sniffed the sachet, finding that inside were spices that calmed the mind and improved the spirits, perfect for placing underneath the pillow of the Prince’s consort. As for the stuffed tiger, Su Yunjin also carefully put it away with the sachet.
She planned to keep these items for now and bring them along to the Prince Qi Residence the day after tomorrow to personally deliver them to the Prince’s consort. The workers they had hired to make fruit wine had already started on the mountain, with Su Yunjin and Gu Ya only requiring the workers to complete the simplest initial steps. They reserved the critical steps for them to do themselves.
Of course, now that Su Yunjin was pregnant, Gu Ya wouldn’t let his little wife lift a finger for something like wine-making. It was mainly Gu Ya who did it, with Su Yunjin resting on the side.
That day Su Yunjin joined Gu Ya on a trip to the mountain, where the workers were orderly carrying out their tasks. After observing the scene, they felt that hiring help was indeed a good move; with extra hands, both she and Gu Ya had a lighter load, and the final step wasn’t troublesome – it merely required adding sugar in a certain proportion.
Making the wine alone would yield only so much in a month, and now that Zuixiang Restaurant was doing so well, how could they produce enough wine to sell to customers if there wasn’t enough?
Hiring workers didn’t just reduce the workload but also ensured they could meet customers’ demands, guaranteeing that Zuixiang Restaurant’s fruit wine would always be in supply, with no shortages.
But by hiring just ten people, Su Yunjin felt it might be insufficient. She and Gu Ya could consider hiring a few more people to help. As she mulled over hiring additional help, she mentioned it to Gu Ya.
"Husband, I think we could hire a few more people to help us make fruit wine, don’t you think?" By doing so, they could produce even more wine.
