Luohuazhishui

15 Jealous of Chen Jiade's bounty

Chen Zhishui has been selling sweet potatoes at a stall in the city for half a month.The total sold can be more than 1000 catties.You can earn three to four taels if you sell one hundred catties a day, and you can earn about 50 taels after fifteen days

There are only two bags of sweet potatoes left in the family. Before, two masters took away the remaining 3000 catties of the family.One is the magistrate, and the other is the richest man in Yongji, Fu.

Nazhi County is for reporting to Zhongdu, while Master Fu is purely for selling to major markets and restaurants to make money.

To put Chen Zhishui aside, she has neither power nor connections, and she can't handle things like selling to restaurants and big markets alone.Moreover, the matter of cotton seeds had already been reported to the police last time, so it would be too eye-catching to report it voluntarily.It's better to let the county magistrate know and discover the value of this thing.

She, Chen Zhishui, wouldn't dare to charge more for a thousand catties for the county magistrate.Even if it costs him 3 Wen per catty, this is also the normal price of sweet potatoes.A thousand catties is 3 taels of silver.Usually, she sells roasted sweet potatoes, and she can earn three taels a day for a hundred catties.After all, this is the first batch of sweet potatoes in the whole world. Rare things are more expensive, and raising the price by ten times is not much at all.

The price paid to the master is calculated according to the price of normal roasted sweet potatoes, 30 Wen per catty.He took away two thousand catties. 60 taels.He took it to the market restaurant to sell it, and the price per catty could be at least doubled.Because he had bought out all the sweet potatoes, he had the final say on the price.

Now everyone in the village knows that the things the Chen family grew made more than 100 taels.Chen Zhishui's current savings must be 300 taels.

Jiang Sanshun knew that this thing made money, and began to study how to plant it next time.Chen Zhishui's attitude towards this kind of thing is the same as growing cotton.The more people planted, the better, so that there is no need to worry about people freezing to death or starving to death.The purpose of her bringing sweet potatoes and cotton out of space is to popularize them.

And if you want to make money, you still have to be the first crop. By next year, these things will not be so rare.Although the price cannot be reduced to three pennies per catty all of a sudden, at least it has to be cut in half.

this day.

What should have been a sweltering day turned out to be very cool today.It is estimated that if it does not rain during the day, it should rain at night.

The sound of beating gongs and drums was heard in the distance.After a while, the voice got closer and closer. I didn't hear that anyone was going to get married today. The villagers looked at me and looked at you, but they were all at a loss and didn't know why.

The team entered the village.I saw one person dressed up riding a horse to open the way, followed by two young men holding evasion cards, and one person followed by a drummer and a gong player.At the end is a luxury sedan chair carried by four people.

The villagers all followed the team from afar, and finally wondered which family was promoted or awarded a reward.

The man on horseback stopped at the door of Chen's house.The villagers gathered in a circle from a distance to discuss.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The person who dismounted knocked on the door of the Chen family.

Chen Zhishui was not at home, as soon as he came down from the mountain, he saw the villagers forming a circle around his house.

"May I ask why you are here?"

Seeing that Chen Zhishui was carrying a basket on his back and holding a bow and arrow in his hand, the man on the horse thought that it basically matched the image of the Orion mentioned in the information, so he started to answer.

"You are Chen Liehu? Master Zhizhou is sitting in the sedan chair, go and bow down to greet him."

Chen Zhishui hadn't put down the rabbit's basket yet, so she was told to kneel down and worship, so she had no choice but to go.

"Grassmen pay homage to Master Zhizhou"

As soon as Chen Zhishui finished speaking, the sedan chair curtain was lifted by the servant.The middle-aged man in official uniform bent down and got out of the sedan chair.

The father-in-law on the side also opened the imperial edict in his hand and began to read it.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: During the hunting process, Orion Chen of Mujia Village in Yongji found cotton seeds and handed them over to the local county magistrate. He has made a great contribution to the people of Nanning. Today, I hereby reward you with a hundred taels of silver... Qin this."

"The grassroots accept the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Chen Zhishui kowtowed and accepted the imperial edict.

The boy handed over the silver taels covered by the red cloth on the wooden tray to the Zhizhou, and the Zhizhou presented the rewards.

"Chen Liehu, accept the reward."

"Grassman bows to thank you, Lord Zhizhou."

At this moment, Chen Zhishui knelt down three times, but there was nothing she could do.This ancient sense of class is too heavy.

The ostentation is over, the imperial decree has been read, and the rewards have been distributed.This large group left in a mighty manner.When the team was far away, Chen Zhishui opened the imperial decree and took a look.

Made of silk, the font is sharp and majestic.Chen Zhishui read it from the beginning to the end, oh.Reward a thousand taels of silver.

She has long known the urine nature of this officialdom.It's not surprising, it's enough to have money anyway.The Nazhi prefecture who came today is the original county magistrate. It is not surprising that he was able to be promoted with the cotton last time and the sweet potato not long ago.

Chen Zhishui entered the door carrying a bamboo basket.When the villagers saw that Chen Zhishui had entered, they began to gossip.Wang Mazi and Wang Jiadong were also among them. They felt uncomfortable hearing the villagers envy the Chen family in various ways.

Jealousy, jealousy is going crazy.

Wang Mazi thought to himself, although this Beishan is steep, there are quite a lot of treasures.He decided to go up the mountain early in the morning and wander around to see if he could find any treasures.

No matter what kind of treasure he is, he can do whatever he wants. At that time, he will report it and get an imperial decree and a reward.

He, Wang Mazi, has no other obsessions in his life, except for honoring his ancestors, which is the only obsession he has at such an advanced age.

In the past, he was a big family in the village, the family with the best conditions, he thought it was a glorious family.Later, the Chen family's conditions were better than his, and their family background was stronger than his.He started to get jealous, played tricks and almost put his son in it.

This time the baby is right in front of him, as long as he goes up the mountain, he can make a fortune and honor his ancestors.How could he let go of this opportunity.

The author has something to say:

The original 470 taels earned 400 taels again.

True emotional progress is not far away.
