After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Bai Qingyun’s shopping is much more complicated.

He went to a garment store and bought a set of autumn clothes for each member of the family, and also bought several pieces of white cloth to make underwear, including those for Xie Li and Xie Shuer.

I don’t buy ready-made underwear, because underwear is best made to fit myself.

I also bought peach blossom cakes, yam cakes and other snacks that my family likes to eat at the snack shop. In fact, it is Bai Qingyun and Xie Shuer who likes to eat them. The adults don’t like sweet things and usually don’t eat much. Even if they do, they only take small bites with tea to try something new.

But Xie Shuer and Bai Qingyun are of similar age and like to eat sweets. They like to discuss sweets together when they have nothing to do. Xie Shuer likes to cook like Grandma Bai, and she often makes some snacks herself. Bai Qingyun's favorite is the mung bean cake made by Xie Shuer.

In addition, Father Bai also specially bought a lot of bottles to store autumn pear paste. The family must have a great demand for such bottles in the future, so he specially negotiated a preferential price with the boss.

By dusk, the father and daughter had too many things in their hands. Fortunately, they came with a ox cart this time, otherwise they might not be able to take all these things back.

Although we can rely on the space, there are only four adults in the family who know about the space. With two more people in the family, it is not convenient to use the space to carry things directly.

It was time for the three brothers to finish school, so they drove the ox cart and waited for a while at the school gate.

When the three brothers came out and looked at the car full of things, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The good thing is that there are so many things, and you can definitely have your own share.

But with the stuff piled up in the oxcart, it was hard to even find a place to stay. Wouldn’t I have to walk seven or eight miles to get home…

In the end, there was no other choice but for Bai's father to let the three brothers sit huddled together at the back of the ox cart with their knees hugged.

The child has been studying all day and would be tired to walk home, so he might as well endure the hardship and ride in a ox cart.

It was almost evening when I got home. There were several baskets of pears piled in the kitchen and many processed autumn pear pastes on the shelves, all waiting to be sent to Jishidiang tomorrow.

Bai Qingyun made an agreement with Bai's father to put the potatoes in the cave early the next morning. In the evening, he went back to his room to sleep early and did not even enter the space.

Early the next morning, the father and daughter had the breakfast that Xie Shuer had prepared, then picked up their tools and went up the mountain. They told their family members that they had not hunted for a long time, so they went to the mountain to see if there was any harvest.

The autumn morning was a little cold. Bai Qingyun changed out of the green long skirt she loved to wear in the summer and put on a long shirt with tight sleeves. She carried the bow and arrow made by her father on her back, looking heroic.

After going up the mountain, the two men did not delay and went straight to see the cave where the sugarcane was found. They had cut sugarcane only a dozen days ago, and the previous sugarcane pit was still there.

They took a large portion of the sprouted potatoes and put them into the cave. The father and daughter picked up hoes and buried some of the potatoes in the soil, disguising themselves to hide from others.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he went down the mountain to find the village chief and, on the pretext of discovering a new high-yield crop, gathered a group of strong men in the village to go up the mountain to dig.

Later, Bai Qingyun didn't need to step in. Bags of potatoes were carried down the mountain and planted according to Bai's father's instructions.

Just when people from other villages were free and preparing to go to the town or county to find some odd jobs, the people of Dayang Village started a craze for planting potatoes.

The two of them buried the potatoes very densely. When the villagers were digging, they saw the high yield of the potatoes and naturally became tempted.

In order to grow high-yield potatoes, Village Chief Yang specifically asked Father Bai to take the lead in organizing the planting, and asked Father Bai to record many matters in the potato planting process so that he could present it to his superiors later.

From then on, Dayang Village focused all its energy on the growth of potatoes, but since potatoes grew underground, no one knew what was going on, so they could only guess with hope.

Fortunately, the news that the Bai family was buying pears in the village spread, giving the men stranded at home new hope.

Pears are now sold at a low price, even as low as one cent for two pounds in the town, while the Bai family's purchase price for pears is two cents per pound.

To make one pound of autumn pear paste, you need about one and a half to two pounds of pears.

Of course, Bai Qingyun has heard that some high-end brands use extremely luxurious amounts when making autumn pear paste. One pound of autumn pear paste will consume nearly twenty-five pounds of autumn pears.

The price of products made in that way is very high. Not to mention in Baiyang Town, even in Qujiang County, there are very few people who can afford it.

Without demand, there is no market.

So Bai Qingyun chose a more universal approach.

Nowadays, the price of autumn pear paste is 150 wen per bottle. The bottle is not big and the amount inside is not much.

Bai Qingyun could choose a larger bottle to hold more autumn pear paste, but that would cost more and the selling price would also be higher, which would be beyond the purchasing power of ordinary people.

At the price of one hundred and fifty coins, the town gentry hardly had to hesitate, and ordinary people could buy a bottle for their families if they gritted their teeth.

The sweet flavorings such as honey added to it make autumn pear paste undoubtedly the best substitute when sugar and honey are expensive.

The Bai family buys pears from the village at two cents per pound. The rest of the herbs and ingredients are produced by the space itself, so there is no additional cost. Excluding the share given to Jishidiang, the Bai family makes a profit of nearly one hundred cents per pound of pears.

For families in Dayang Village who have planted pear trees, one tree can produce about 300 to 500 kilograms of pears, which brings the family an income of nearly 600 to 1,000 coins.

The price of food is very low nowadays, and just by selling pears I can buy a few more stones of brown rice for my family.

What's more, people live off the mountain. Even those who don't have pear trees at home will go up the mountain with three or five people. The wild pear trees on the mountain are ripe now, and if they go in a group, they can pick dozens of kilograms every day.

This is much better than working at the dock. Normally, you may not earn 50 cents even if you work from morning to night at the dock. Now, as long as you are not lazy, you can earn 100 cents by picking 50 kilograms of pears every day.

When I was working at the dock before, I had to go out early and come back late, and I couldn't take care of my family. Now I can help out at home in my spare time, whether it's loosening the soil with a hoe, helping my wife with housework, or spending more time with my parents without having to rush around for a living. Family life will become more harmonious.

People living in Dayang Village all have smiles on their faces, and even under the fairy tree at the entrance of the village, there are many more people chatting in groups.

Some were holding needles and threads, some were doing farm work, and they were talking about whose family in the east of the village was eating meat, and whose children in the west of the village were going to school.

It’s a pity that I didn’t find any melon seeds, otherwise I could have spent the whole day eating them and listening to gossip.

All the seeds purchased from the merchants at the dock were planted in the space. Several vegetables, including peppers, tomatoes, pumpkins, winter melons, and corn, were found. The system was instructed to keep the seeds and plant them for the villagers in the spring of next year.

Just taking pumpkin, winter melon and corn as examples, these three types of grains have extremely high yields and are not picky about soil when growing, making them crops worthy of promotion.

It’s a pity that there are no melon seeds.

There are many types of melon seeds, but only sunflower seeds are available on the market, and the craftsmanship is not very mature. The roasted melon seeds have a single taste, and they do not give a strong sense of filling, so they are not very popular among the people.

There are only a few snack shops in the county town that sell some of them, and the customers are all wealthy families who buy them to entertain guests.
