As the envoy team left, everyone's life returned to peace.

It is already certain that Li Sanlang will enter Qingshi Academy. Now there is only one last question left, whether to stay in the dormitory or "go to study". After discussing with Ji Qingyue, he decided to live in Ji Qingyue's house like Shiro. Usually, it was not enough to have only two children and two puppies at home. None of them were people who needed others to take care of them. Ji Qingyue I'm happy that they live together and can provide him with cover.

After Li Erlang confirmed that his younger brother could enter Qingshi Academy, he went home with the good news.

The two children will start school in early September. When they go to the academy to study, they will sleep in the same room as when they stayed in the village school. The difference is that they cannot separate beds and have to sleep in the same bed. The bed was not as big as a kang, and neither of them had a very good sleeping posture. Even when they were asleep, they had to fight for each other's position, and no one would give way to the other. Finally, at Ji Qingyue's decision, they were assigned to sleep at the head of the bed and the other at the end.

Except for Ji Qingyue, everyone else is used to getting up early. It's not that Ji Qingyue is lazy, but that they really get up too early, so that Ji Qingyue wakes up very late at seven o'clock. At home, they listen to the chickens crowing in the backyard to wake up. Now it is the watchman's reminder, plus the chickens raised by the scattered people around, the biological clock formed reminds them to get up at the end of the fifth watch (5 o'clock).

Ji Qingyue didn't have to worry about these people at all.

Ji Qingyue reached a consensus with the Li family that the children would cook their own breakfast after getting up. If the weather was bad and they didn't want to cook, they would go to a stall in the alley and spend one or two pennies to make breakfast.

After all, Ji Qingyue is the last person in the family to get up. You can still count on him for dinner, but forget about breakfast. By the time he gets up (at 7 or 8 o'clock), the children's morning classes have already started.

When he knew that Li Sanlang wanted to stay, Ji Qingyue was very willing, so that he could completely relax and concentrate on studying cotton planting.

The academies are all in Dongcheng. Every morning, Li Sanlang sends his two children to Bingchun Academy and then to Qingshi Academy. Because the two academies had different afternoon classes, Li Sanlang finished classes later, and the two children went home together in the afternoon. If there is no food at home that day, Li Yu will buy some on the way.

Ji Qingyue usually cooks dinner, and that big iron pot can cook up dishes that impress everyone.

The weather is hot and the vegetables in the fields are harvested once a month. In mid-September, Ji Qingyue will be able to deliver the second batch of vegetables to Tai'an House.

Just like last time, Ji Qingyue moved the vegetables out of the city, but this time when he followed the waiter to find the shopkeeper to settle the bill, Ji Qingyue found that there were many people in the dark asking about his identity in a roundabout way. The waiter from Tai'an Building Quietly explain to him: Since he supplied supplies to Tai'an House, the business in the restaurant has been much better. The prices are the same as elsewhere, but the vegetables are fresher and more delicious than other places. Many wealthy families in the county want to buy from him. They came to visit him personally, but there was only a little scholar and two children at home. He said that he was not at home and had gone out to plant vegetables. When asked where the vegetables were grown, the children did not know. After searching several times, they found that his whereabouts were really puzzling, so they stopped disturbing him.

Ji Qingyue nodded. He knew all this. Sometimes it was really inconvenient to come out of the painting, and sometimes it was because he deliberately didn't come out. Where would a person who appears in the city every day grow vegetables?

After several times, Ji Qingyue told Li Yu that if someone came looking for him, he would cover him.

Unexpectedly, he underestimated the determination of these people who came to him to buy groceries. He failed to visit them in person, so he left people squatting in Tai'an Building to wait. As soon as he finished paying for the goods and went downstairs, the people who were waiting for him to buy groceries surrounded him and stuffed the name cards into his arms.

"Ji Lang-kun, we don't want to buy much, just buy ten catties and one hundred catties!!"

"We asked shopkeeper Qin, and shopkeeper Qin said that when we signed the contract, he only said that he couldn't sell it to his peers. We are not peers. Selling to us does not violate the contract!"

"Ji Langjun, your method of selling vegetables is not the most appropriate. The vegetable farmers nearby select vegetables for sale every day, but you only come here once a month. Tai'an House can cook fresh vegetables in the first few days, but later For more than 20 days, it is no different from other places, so why not come here to sell vegetables every day like other vegetable farmers?"

Why didn't Ji Qingyue know this?

Ordinary vegetable farmers grow vegetables according to the seasons. What they plant is what is in season. Moreover, the vegetables they grow have a long harvest period. It is not a problem to put them in the ground for ten days and a half, but their harvest period is only two days. Oh my god, if you don’t pick them after two days, the vegetables will become old and their taste will be greatly reduced.

If vegetables are grown in separate batches, and according to what those people said, the vegetables do not need to be sold once a day or two, but once every three to five days, then this work alone requires him to spend all his time in the fields. , repeatedly planting vegetables, watering vegetables, and harvesting vegetables. Every time I finally waited for the time to go out, I had only one task after going out, and that was to go out of the city and take the vegetables out of the painting.

What meaning does life have for him if he repeats this kind of work?

He doesn't want this.

Now even if the supply is only once a month, even if the quantity of goods is reduced, he does not have to worry about eating and drinking. When he is still staying at Li Erlang's house, he no longer needs to worry about hunger. As long as there are seeds, he will be able to eat and drink in the painting. Hungry to death.

Whether he makes money or not, whether he makes more or less, all affects his quality of life. He has experienced survival in the wilderness, will he still be afraid that his quality of life will return to before liberation overnight?

When the shopkeeper of Tai'an Building saw Ji Qingyue gradually showing an impatient expression, he immediately asked the guys to stop the person who handed in the post and took Ji Qingyue upstairs to hide.

The appearance of those people still reminded him. Ji Qingyue looked at Shopkeeper Qin: "Shopkeeper Qin, tell the truth, is there any intention from you?"

"Ji Langjun, what do you say?" Shopkeeper Qin took him to the study room. The antique combination and layout in the study room were pleasing to the eye.

Ji Qingyue doesn't mince words when talking about business: "The man just now said it right. We supply it once a month. No matter how fresh the food is, it will become stale if we put it at the back. Do you have any ideas about shortening the supply cycle? "

Shopkeeper Qin personally brought a cup of tea to Ji Qingyue and said with a smile: "Ji Langjun is straightforward. It would be false to say that I don't have this idea, but Ji Langjun's supply once a month is not detrimental to Tai'an Tower. With the same storage method, after one month, other people's vegetables will be less fresh than ours, and diners will taste it."

Ji Qingyue's expression gradually softened. He just didn't change the contract. He was afraid that others would force him to farm. If it offended him, he would stop eating.

Just when Ji Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, he heard shopkeeper Qin continue: "To be honest, I never thought that Ji Langjun's dishes would have such a big response. Because of the battle and the reputation of Tai'an Building, the last one Yue was not provoked by her colleagues, but instead attracted many powerful people to inquire. Even if there is support from the boss behind the Tai'an Building, it can't withstand the joint pressure of so many powerful people..."

"Shopkeeper Qin, just say what you want to say." When Ji Qingyue heard this, he knew that Shopkeeper Qin really had something to discuss with him.

"Having said so much, I have only one purpose. Ji Langjun, I want to make some changes to the contract between us. Of course, Tai'an Tower will provide some compensation."

Ji Qingyue raised his "Erkang hand": "Wait a minute! No matter how you want to modify it, Shopkeeper Qin, I only have two requirements. Supply once a month must not be changed, and the supply volume cannot increase suddenly. Shopkeeper Qin If we agree on these two points, we can continue to talk."

Upon hearing Ji Qingyue's conditions, shopkeeper Qin was overjoyed: "No problem!"

So the two began to finalize a new contract.

What Tai'an Tower faced was nothing more than the pressure from the powerful. Unexpectedly, they escaped their peers but not the powerful, and had to give up part of their goods to these powerful people.

The occurrence of this incident made Ji Qingyue deeply feel the oppression from the powerful. He couldn't help but think about what he had to do now and be more cautious in promoting cotton in the future.

Ji Qingyue himself will definitely not be able to spare extra time to deal with those powerful people. How to distribute the goods to those people is what shopkeeper Qin should consider. Ji Qingyue only needs to comply with the contract and provide at least two thousand kilograms of vegetables every month.

No matter what requests the powerful people made, he only listened to Shopkeeper Qin's final summary. For example, if someone asks for more of a certain dish and goes directly to his house, he won't listen. If he makes trouble in his house, he won't eat it and the contract will be invalidated.

Shopkeeper Qin responded directly: "As long as Ji Langjun agrees to Tai'an House to resell vegetables, Tai'an House will take care of all other matters. For this reason, Tai'an House has prepared compensation for Ji Langjun. Tai'an House has a village outside the east city gate. As long as Mr. Ji Lang agrees, I will immediately send someone to the county government office and transfer it to Mr. Ji Lang. As the shopkeeper of Tai'an Building, I promise that I will never enter Zhuangzi without permission and disturb Mr. Ji Lang."

Ji Qingyue was stunned. Did Shopkeeper Qin mean to let him farm both inside and outside the painting?

"How much land is there in the village? One acre or two acres?"

This stopped shopkeeper Qin from asking, could Ji Langjun be testing Tai'anlou's sincerity? How could Zhuangzi in the northwest be so small?

Shopkeeper Qin didn't know that Ji Qingyue was not very good at farming. He guessed that Ji Qingyue was farming with others in a certain mountain. He could grow thousands of kilograms of vegetables every month and had to transport them from the mountain. This was too hard. He and others After discussion, the owner decided to allocate bits and pieces of land under Tai'an Tower's name to him, which would also deepen the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

Shopkeeper Qin thought for a while, worded his words carefully, and replied: "Although the land in that village is a bit small, it is not only one or two acres like Ji Langjun said. Giving it away will make people laugh."

Ji Qingyue thought to himself that he would not laugh.

"Zhuangzi is on flat land, including a second house and one room, more than ten acres of fertile land, and three and a half acres of ponds."

Ji Qingyue almost fainted when he heard this.

He really doesn't need so much land.

He asked weakly: "If possible, can you change to a smaller village?"

Shopkeeper Qin was surprised now, thinking that the one or two acres Ji Langjun mentioned just now was really not a test.

But it's a pity...

"Ji Langjun, it's not that I don't want to meet your request. I'm afraid that no smaller Zhuangzi can be found in the entire northwest. Although the more fertile the land, the smaller the scope of Zhuangzi's enclosure, but..." Shopkeeper Qin looked like Very embarrassed: "If Ji Langjun wants dozens or hundreds of acres of Zhuangzi, Tai'an Tower can find it immediately."

Ji Qingyue cried without tears after hearing this. His plan to change his house was to find a farm with one or two acres of farmland, and there were no people nearby. He could plant cotton in and outside the painting, and compare the differences between the two planting methods. .

After all, cotton was to be grown, and he didn't want any fatal problems to arise during the process.

Even though he had seen large pieces of farmland at Li Erlang's house, he never thought that one day he would be able to own large pieces of land. However, he never wanted so much land in his heart. He couldn't cultivate such a large piece of land. He was also wasting it.

Shopkeeper Qin saw Ji Qingyue's hesitation: "Ji Langjun is worried that Tai'an Tower has ulterior motives? Please rest assured, Ji Langjun. Since Ji Langjun and Tai'an Tower are doing business sincerely, Tai'an Tower cannot treat Ji Lang badly." Jun. To be honest, my boss is worried that the government will implement new taxes across the country in the future. At this moment, if I allocate the land to Mr. Ji Lang, I can still earn a good reputation. Why not do this kind of business? "

Ji Qingyue's worries were half solved, but what he was most worried about was that the core secret would be exposed. His success today depended entirely on the magical land.

There was so much more land in reality, and if one or two acres were left uncultivated, he would only feel guilty. But planting two pieces of land was not what he wanted.

"What is Ji Langjun worried about?" Shopkeeper Qin was puzzled: "The land near Zhuangzi also belongs to Tai'an Tower. If you are worried that someone will come close to spy on Ji Langjun's planting methods, don't worry. I will give instructions then. No one is allowed to come near Zhuangzi, and no one will enter Ji Langjun’s fields.”

Ji Qingyue was already moved, but the most important thing was that he couldn't plant so much land! !

"Let's do this, I want Zhuangzi, and I'll ask shopkeeper Qin to introduce some good-natured tenants to me."

Shopkeeper Qin was shocked: "Ji Langjun really doesn't need these fields?"

Ji Qingyue started to make nonsense: "I can only say that I can't grow the vegetables that shopkeeper Qin wants in the flat land. Although I don't have so much farmland, I will leave a few acres of land for experiments, and I will ask Qin to do it when the time comes." The shopkeeper will guarantee that outsiders will not be allowed to approach my few acres of land."

Shopkeeper Qin was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is easy to say!! Tai'an Building will definitely meet Ji Langjun's requirements!"

In this way, they set a time for transferring the property and signing the tenant agreement, and chose to resolve it together five days later. "I will need a friend to follow me then, so please don't mind, Shopkeeper Qin."

"How dare you?"

Ji Qingyue knew that the transaction between Tai'an House and the powerful people was a fight or a fight. Even Tai'an House was willing. Otherwise, why would Zhuangzi give him the land? He is the basis of the transaction. Keep this foundation of Tai'an. Lou can better interact with the powerful.

Ji Qingyue left Tai'an Building and walked to the writing place to ask the writer to help write a letter to Li Erlang and asked him to come back in five days.

"Coming to buy and sell!! Come quickly!!!"

Buy and sell, come quickly. Ji Qingyue.

After paying the money, Ji Qingyue couldn't help but sigh, it's so good to study, and it's easy to make money if you can write.

After doing the math, this delivery amounted to more than 1,500 kilograms of vegetables. Adding a little more according to the market price, he received almost a hundred taels of payment.

By the end of the year, vegetable prices will continue to rise, and next year I will be able to buy another big house.
