talk about wine

This incident is also a coincidence, it can be described as a god-sent opportunity.

This day, Meng Chuxi went to wait for Zhou Qingwu to go home as usual, because Zhou Qingwu was too busy at noon, and Zhou Qingwu was hungry because he didn't eat anything.Meng Chuxi took her to another street to buy some food as usual.

After buying delicious food, the two of them happened to pass by another well-to-do family in Qingyang Town on their way home.That family's surname is Huang, and although their family business is not as good as that of the Yan family, they are still number one in Qingyang Town. It can be said that they have some skills in both black and white, and they are big landlords in Qingyang Town.There are hundreds of hectares of fertile land under his hands, and his family owns half of the entire Qingyang Town's land, and almost all the tenant farmers around rent the Huang's land.

Right at the gate of Huang's house, a middle-aged man stood, begging to the people inside, and said helplessly: "I beg the housekeeper to inform you on your behalf, let me meet Mr. Huang, and discuss the price. This piece of land was originally from Huang I bought it from the master, and I asked him to help me through this crisis, I am really desperate."

He was well-dressed, but his eyes were blue, his beard was disheveled, and his hair was not combed. It was obvious that he was in a hurry and couldn't take care of his appearance.

"Boss Qiu, please go back. My master is really not at home. He took the young master to Jiangning Mansion today, and he will not come back until three days later. Before leaving, I told you how much your mulberry garden was worth, Boss Qiu. Money, but now the mulberry tree is sick, and the silkworms are plagued by silkworm plague, and the money is lost. Even if the mulberry is not planted, it will be difficult to implement it in three to five years, and I don’t think anyone is willing to waste it. These hundreds of pennies are used to recover a hot potato."

Hearing the mulberry tree, Meng Chuxi's footsteps suddenly slowed down, mulberry tree, then this person should be Qiu Yuanzhen who planted more than 40 acres of mulberry trees in Qingyang Town.This mulberry garden has been planted for only three years so far, and Qiu Yuanzhen has basically not earned any money in the mulberry garden during these three years.It is just because the investment in sericulture is too large, the skills of the surrounding farmers are not good, and the quality of his mulberry garden is also average, and the silk yield is not high.

This situation has only improved this year, because silk fabrics can be transported to Kyoto in two ways, the price is not bad, and the Yan family is here, and the harvest is also fast, so many surrounding farmers and women are attracted to raise silkworms and mulberry.But this year's sudden pests and diseases have completely plunged them into the abyss, and they lost everything when they started to improve.

The two stalemate for a long time, and finally the housekeeper directly ordered the door to be closed, and Qiu Yuanzhen stumbled down the steps. When he saw the two people standing aside, he just glanced at them in a daze, and was about to leave, but Meng Chuxi stopped him.

"Boss Qiu, are you selling the mulberry garden?"

The man who was about to leave stopped, looked back at her, sneered slightly ironically after looking at her, and said with a sneer: "Yeah, maybe you want to buy it, girl?" It was all ruined, and those merchant owners who learned that the market was not good came to collect debts one after another, and no one was willing to help, fearing that their money would be wasted if they went late.

If he didn't come in, not only the mulberry garden would be ruined, but his other industries would also collapse completely. By then, a dozen or so members of his family would probably end up living on the streets.

Meng Chuxi glanced at Zhou Qingwu, in fact, she guessed what Meng Chuxi was thinking when she stopped, she nodded at this moment, her eyes were full of support,

"Boss Qiu, take a step to speak."

Qiu Yuanzhen was stunned at the moment, but now that he has nowhere to go, he still has to seize this seemingly impossible opportunity.

The three of them talked about a cup of tea in a small teahouse. Qiu Yuanzhen seemed to see that they were serious, and immediately became angry, and tried his best to highlight the advantages of Sangyuan.

Meng Chuxi smiled faintly: "Boss Qiu, I can understand your feelings, but up to now, the shortcomings of this mulberry garden are indeed shortcomings, and the advantages are probably also disadvantages now. No matter how good the mulberry leaves grow, no matter how many trees there are, it is just to let the back If the silkworm plague is not resolved, if the tree disease is not resolved, the mulberry tree may be rotten wood. Even if it is used as firewood, no one may bother to cut it."

Qiu Yuanzhen originally thought that she was young, but just a few words made his delusions disillusioned again.His mulberry garden is no longer a question of price, but a question of whether anyone is willing to take it.

The garden was his painstaking effort, and he raised the mulberry tree from the saplings. If he sold the land alone, for example, the Yan family and the Huang family might want it, but in the end it must be cut down and used for other purposes. He is reluctant to bear it in his heart.If he hadn't been desperate, he wouldn't have come to beg Master Huang today.

"Actually, I'm curious. What are you buying for more than 40 mu of mulberry fields?" In his opinion, it would be unwise for an unknown woman to buy this mulberry field at this time, even when the price has plummeted. of.

"Just like Boss Qiu, I want to make it." After she finished speaking, she smiled again: "But the risk is too great, so even at the current price, I can't afford it. I'm not like the Huang family, I can't afford it." Such a fall."

Meng Chuxi spoke very clearly. Qiu Yuanzhen's eyes dimmed, and he smiled wryly: "Forty acres of mulberry trees, thousands of mulberry trees, used to be worth at least [-] guan, but now [-] guan, it is already..."

Meng Chuxi sighed: "If you make a profit in business, you will lose it. This time the luck is not good, Boss Qiu still needs to take care of himself. The current plan is just to cut off the wrist of a strong man. Although the vitality is seriously injured, it will not shake the foundation. That's why Boss Qiu is so anxious. So, there must be a problem."

Qiu Yuanzhen was shocked, looking at the delicate and beautiful young woman in front of him, trying to maintain his composure, unwilling to admit that he was seen through.

Meng Chuxi cupped his hands: "Boss Qiu, for you, this is a severing of a strong man's wrist, but for me it is a fight to the death. If I take over but can't wait for a turnaround, I will really lose everything and fall into the mud again. So if you make a shot with sincerity, I will give you 240 points immediately."

Qiu Yuanzhen's heart sank, he felt that he had been bitten by life, his heart was bleeding, and he almost left on the spot, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Miss Meng, you almost chopped in half abruptly, don't you think it's too much?"

Meng Chuxi looked embarrassed, and frowned: "This decision is beyond my plan. I think it is fate, so I will talk to you. If I win the 400 Guan, it will be a complete loss for me. I am very sorry." Know this. The difference between me and you is that I can choose not to jump into the fire pit, but you are at the bottom of the pit. And I understand your situation for the time being, I don’t force it, and the price can be negotiated, but more than [-] guan is indeed I can't afford it. If you don't have someone more suitable and you can accept it, you can wait for me in this place, and I will pass here every day."

Having said that, Meng Chuxi slightly cupped his hands and took Zhou Qingwu away. Qiu Yuanzhen, who was sitting in the same place, looked at the backs of the two leaving, feeling mixed feelings for a moment, and rubbed his head in pain. He was not reconciled!

Meng Chuxi didn't say much along the way. Zhou Qingwu knew she was thinking about something and didn't bother her. She was also thinking about the situation they were facing now.

In fact, it is true that Meng Chuxi wants the mulberry garden, and it is also true that he wants to lower the price.Zhou Qingwu was very aware of their current situation. 240 guan was already a lot, and all the family savings including the gold leaf she brought was only more than 260 guan, which was almost reaching the limit.Buying a mulberry garden is not like buying a piece of utensil. If you buy it out, everyone will be happy.

Now autumn is just in time for the last wave of autumn silkworms and mulberry leaf picking.The silkworm plague is raging and the mulberry leaves are sick. If the control is not good, it means that they will not get any benefits this year after they get the mulberry garden. Instead, they have to invest time and energy in taking care of the mulberry garden.What's more, the two of them are now working in Yan's family, and it is impossible for them to just let go and devote themselves to the management of the mulberry garden just after the improvement.

Speaking of which, this is a very risky thing, but it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.If you wait for Meng Chuxi to start from scratch and everything is ready, and then want to buy a mulberry garden, you won't be able to get it without Qianguan. Even if you buy land and grow it yourself, it is difficult to estimate the land and energy.Moreover, the business opportunity is fleeting. If you miss this opportunity and wait another year or two, it may not be possible to do it if you miss this opportunity.

At dinner, Meng Chuxi was rarely silent. Zhou Qingwu knew her entanglement and cleaned up the dishes. She sat in front of her and gestured: Do you want to buy it?

Meng Chuxi came back to her senses, realized that she had worried Zhou Qingwu, she smiled apologetically, but nodded anyway.It's just that she couldn't hide her sadness, and it was obvious that she couldn't make up her mind.

Zhou Qingwu held her hand and wrote in her palm: If you decide to plant mulberries, it will be a once in a thousand years.

Meng Chuxi raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes flickered, she shook her head and said, "I'm very worried, this time it's not about wasting energy by raising silkworms, nor is it about making wine to ruin mulberries. One mistake, all our hard-earned savings this year will be thrown into it, I'm afraid You have nothing, and you will go back to your hard days."

Zhou Qingwu smiled lowly, but her soft and lovely face in the past was full of determination and persistence. She stretched out her hand and gestured: No, I have you, we still have the mulberry garden, and I will not go back to those days.

After the comparison, she made another hand gesture before Meng Chuxi spoke: From the bottom of my heart, I'm not coaxing you.

Meng Chuxi couldn't help laughing, while Zhou Qingwu on the other side continued to compare with flushed cheeks: My happiness, happiness comes from you, not money.

Although silver would make her more at ease and at ease, it was insignificant compared to Meng Chuxi.What's more, she felt that Meng Chuxi's decision was not random, especially knowing Meng Chuxi's talent in planting mulberry and silkworms, and she knew that this dead end for others was just a chance for Meng Chuxi.

Running a business is hard, especially starting from scratch.Raising mulberry is not a trivial matter. With such a large investment, I am afraid that two people will not be able to maintain it for three or four years. In this era, the difference between the poor and the rich is like cloud and mud. For ordinary people in Jiangyin, Qianguan , that is a dream that many grandparents and grandchildren will never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

Meng Chuxi couldn't help but leaned over and hugged her in her arms, and murmured, "You'll make me a prodigal if you do this."

Zhou Qingwu laughed, how could he be a prodigal son, he was clearly seeking wealth.

The two embraced for a long time before Meng Chuxi let go of her and told Zhou Qingwu her thoughts in detail.Zhou Qingwu listened carefully, nodded and gestured: I think so too, as long as you have the confidence to take care of it, Chuxi, this opportunity cannot be missed.

The smile in Meng Chuxi's eyes is indescribable. She and Zhou Qingwu have a spiritual connection. She always knows what she is thinking. At critical moments, she knows what she is thinking better than herself.

"However, we can only offer [-] to [-] guan at hand. If he is unwilling, or someone intercepts the draw, there is nothing we can do."

Zhou Qingwu frowned when he heard the words, even if the family used all the gold leaves on Meng Chuxi's body, it would be impossible for them to come up with more than 400 guan, which is an astonishing amount for them.

For borrowing, they can only ask Uncle Zhong and the others, but buying a mulberry garden means setting up their own business. Although they strictly say that they don't blame them, it is the next best choice to ask the people in their own employers for a loan.Who would dare to lend you so much money without capital.

Meng Chuxi took a breath and touched her face: "Don't think about it for now, I don't know if there is a chance. It's getting late, let's wash and rest first, and see the situation tomorrow."

It's useless to struggle, there are currently two roads in front of them, one is Qiu Yuanzhen is willing to give in, and the other is to borrow from Zhonglou and the others.Or maybe they have no chance to struggle.

Meng Chuxi didn't want to think about it anymore, and looked down at Zhou Qingwu still staring at her in the night, so she kissed her, and said softly, "Close your eyes and sleep."

Zhou Qingwu pursed his lips and snickered, and hugged her tightly, but he made up his mind in his heart that if he couldn't make up all four hundred guan, if he had more, he would have more chances.

When Meng Chuxi woke up the next day, she found that Zhou Qingwu had already woken up. Just as she was in a daze, Zhou Qingwu walked in and gestured: "I'm cooking, let's get up and eat."

Meng Chuxi was still a little confused: "Why did you get up so early today?"

After finishing speaking, he felt a little guilty and said, "Can't sleep?"

Zhou Qingwu shook his head: If you wake up early, get up.

Meng Chuxi thought she was worried, so she comforted her a few words before going to eat.

After going to the accountant's side, Zhou Qingwu and Feng Yu took half a day's leave and went out.When she came back, it was already time for lunch. Qingyang Town must have someone who sells gossip. The matter of Qiu Yuanzhen is not a secret, and she got a lot of information after asking Zhou Qingwu for a while.

Qiu Yuanzhen not only had a problem with the mulberry garden, two months ago, a batch of goods he left were robbed by water thieves, and the loss was already heavy.Although Sangyuan didn't make much money at first, he was able to maintain his expenses, but this time it was another big blow. Xia Cang was just spinning silk and suddenly suffered from plague.

In fact, he could barely survive, but he couldn't stand the panic of his partners, and they called for debts one after another. He couldn't get the money now, which made those people mess up.

In fact, as far as his background is concerned, as long as he survives, he can still survive. Otherwise, if he wants to solve it completely, even if the mulberry garden is sold for [-] guan, it will be meaningless.Zhou Qingwu had a calculation in her heart, sometimes helping others is like helping herself, this is what her father told her.

There was a slight smile in his eyes, it wasn't just the four hundred guan that could impress Qiu Yuanzhen, the most important thing was helping him get through it, and I hope there is still time.
