The Ancient Life of the Doomsday

It is normal for the surrounding villagers to have an accident on the stone mountain in Xinghua Town. A few stone quarry workers who do not die a year are just like the sun coming out of the west.

But this time the stone mountain accident was much bigger than before, more than a dozen people died, and the disturbance was a bit big. For a while, many people who wanted to go to collect stones but hadn't yet retreated.

The men who went to Linjiang Village were relatively lucky, and they were injured, but fortunately, everyone saved their lives. It is a good thing that people are alive!

There was such a big accident in Shitou Mountain all of a sudden, everyone was terrified. Many workers were afraid of their own lives and stopped working. Naturally, the food stalls of Mo Xiaobao and others could not be set up.

During this time, the three brothers and women have made a lot of money, and the family is also busy collecting food. After discussing it, they decided to close the food stall and do it again when they have a chance. First, do the work in the field. !

Mo Xiaobao was born in a farming family, and he missed the field work for a long time. When he talked about harvesting watermelons, tomatoes and grains with Pei Shaorong, he had a big smile on his face.

As soon as the grain in the field was ripe, every household in the village started to rush to harvest it, and Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao were no exception.

Although the family has a lot of fields, with donkeys and cattle, and Xue Tieshi and Uncle Qin come to help occasionally, it is not impossible to win.

The main harvest this time is sweet potatoes, rice, watermelons and tomatoes in the field. It looks like a lot, but in fact, I am not in a hurry to finish these tasks right away.

Although the watermelons and tomatoes are already ripe, Pei Shaorong feels that it is not too late to clean them up after the sweet potatoes and rice are harvested, and there is no rush in the next few days.

As for the apple trees, we still have to wait, let alone worry, the transplanted persimmon trees are growing very well, and we can harvest and make this year’s persimmons in October, which will be another big income for the family!

Pei Shaorong didn't plan to sell his own sweet potatoes or rice, and his family didn't lack such money. Of course, he kept such good natural food for himself.

During this time, Pei Shaorong also discovered that people here still don't know that high-yield grains like sweet potato flour can be made into vermicelli.

So far, the vermicelli here are basically made of mung beans and other things, that is to say, he found another opportunity to make money.

But here comes another problem. Although Pei Shaorong knows that sweet potato flour can be used to make vermicelli, he doesn't know how to do it himself. This technology still needs to be experimented in private.

Thinking of this, Pei Shaorong couldn't help sighing, "Thousands of money are hard to buy, I knew it earlier!"

If he had known that he would travel back to ancient times, he would have to learn all these life skills. If it is not possible, he can bring two cookbooks.

Looking through the space now, Pei Shaorong felt a dull pain in his heart when he saw the cartoon discs in the corner that were prepared to pass the time in the last days...

No one in Linjiang Village has ever seen the tomatoes and watermelons from Pei's family, but a few people in Linjiang Village have heard about the watermelons from passing caravans, so they don't know about the tomatoes at all.

But looking at the festive red color and the shape of the tomato, the village directly named Pei Shaorong's tomato the Red Lantern.

Pei Shaorong thought that the red lantern sounded more appropriate to the name and customs here than tomato, so he simply renamed it his own tomato red lantern!

Pei Shaorong planted three acres of tomato and watermelon at the beginning, and later saw that the plants of these two kinds of herbs and vines were growing well, so he opened a few acres of wasteland to plant them.

However, the crops grown in the wasteland are not mature yet, and the only ones that can be sold for money are tomatoes from one mu of land and watermelons from two mu of land.

This time, Pei Shaorong didn't plan to go to the retail business by himself, so he took Mo Xiaobao to go to Yueyang City again.

New varieties such as watermelon and tomato, of course, can only be sold at a good price in a big city. Yueyang Town is too small to be suitable for initial development.

Let's make their own watermelons and tomatoes famous in Yueyang City first, and then sell their own fruits in the future, it will definitely make a lot of money easily!

The food at home has been harvested, and there are no elderly, children or relatives, so there is basically nothing to worry about. Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao ran to Yueyang City again with ease.

Naturally, the villagers looked for purchasing agents again this time, but besides that, Pei Shaorong also found that several families in the village were also going to Yueyang City. Go try your luck and make money.

Pei Shaorong didn't care what the villagers wanted to do, he pretended he didn't see anything, packed up his things, and set off with Mo Xiaobao in his own donkey cart.

Together with the passing caravan again, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao ran to Yueyang City in a donkey cart.

Just like the last honeymoon, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao started a two-person world as soon as they arrived in Yueyang City, playing and doing business at the same time, very relaxed and at ease!

Pei Shaorong mainly targeted the restaurants in Yueyang City for the sales of tomatoes and watermelons this time. This kind of high-consumption restaurants are the places that have the ability and interest to eat their goods.

As the saying goes, it’s better to shop around, and it’s the same when selling things. Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao split up and basically visited every restaurant in Yueyang City, and finally chose the restaurant with the highest price and the most kind boss for sale.

Because watermelon and tomato can basically be regarded as new varieties, Pei Shaorong also specially talked about how to eat these two things, and finally negotiated with the restaurant owner at the price of [-] yuan per catty of tomato and [-] yuan per catty of watermelon OK deal.

This price is not low. Vegetables and fruits can be sold at a price that is more expensive than meat, which is definitely selling the word 'rare'!

An acre of tomatoes can generally produce nearly 1 catties, but since this is the first experimental sowing, the harvest of Pei's tomatoes this time is about 4000 catties.

This amount is much less than modern times, but it was already a very good figure in ancient times, not to mention two acres of watermelon, which is also much less than modern figures, but the harvest of two acres of watermelon has reached 8000 catties .

It's also fortunate that Pei Shaorong has space, otherwise he really doesn't know how many times he would have to transport so many things to Yueyang City.

And the loss and expense during the transportation should not be underestimated. Generally speaking, Pei Shaorong felt that he was lucky.

4000 catties of tomatoes cost 54 taels for 8000 Wen per catty, 80 catties of watermelon cost 134 Wen per catty for [-] taels.

Pei Shaorong can meet, this time the prices of watermelons and tomatoes will definitely cause an uproar in the village.

But he didn't plan to keep these things by himself, and he couldn't keep them. It's impossible not to make money like this without attracting everyone's attention.

But the reason why tomatoes and watermelons are so high now is because these two things come out fresh and have high yields.

The most important thing is all because of the word "preemptive opportunity", otherwise it is absolutely impossible for the watermelon and tomato to earn so much.

If it is vigorously developed by the villagers in the future, no matter how precious things are, the price will be the same as the current price of radish and cabbage!

I know it is absolutely impossible to monopolize Pei Shaorong, but if I want him to suffer, Pei Shaorong can only say, I'm sorry, I don't know what a disadvantage is...

After sending the tomatoes and watermelons to the restaurant owner in batches, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao played comfortably in Yueyang City for a few more days before returning to the village.

As soon as he returned to Linjiang Village to distribute the things purchased by the villagers, Pei Shaorong found the village and decided to talk about the cultivation of tomatoes and watermelons.

This is also a decision he made after careful consideration. Instead of waiting until the villagers who went to the sea to earn money in Yueyang City found out that their tomato and watermelon had such a large profit and ran back to the village to report to everyone, all the jealous people came to the door and proposed to come up with a plan. Trouble.

Pei Shaorong felt that since this thing cannot be monopolized, it is better to give the villagers a favor now, and by the way, make a good fortune before the depreciation of tomatoes and watermelons!

On the second day after returning to the village, Pei Shaorong took Mo Xiaobao to visit the village chief's house.

The village chief now has a good impression of Pei Shaorong, although he never said that he was the one who pushed Cen Ziwen down behind his back.

But the village chief and Qin Xiangrong are not fools either. Knowing what happened to Cen Jianian, a chubby guy, they can also guess that Cen Ziwen's downfall is definitely related to Pei Shaorong!

As soon as he arrived at the village head's house, Pei Shaorong saw the little chubby Cen Jianian squatting in the yard with more than a dozen village children, each holding a branch and drawing on the ground, and Qin Xiangrong sitting next to him holding a book and teaching everyone.

Since returning to the village, Qin Xiangrong seldom goes out.

So on weekdays, besides helping the family, Qin Xiangrong taught the village children free of charge with books.

Although she was born in a farming family, she learned to read from the village chief when she was a child, and worked as the county magistrate's wife for a few years. She is not very knowledgeable, but it is still possible to teach children to read.

"A Bao, Mr. Pei is here..."

Seeing the two of them entering the yard, Qin Xiangrong put down her things and came over to greet her. Although she had experienced what happened to Cen Ziwen, she seemed to be in good spirits now.

But looking at the expression in her eyes, Pei Shaorong felt that the current Qin Xiangrong was a little different from Mo Xiaobao's description, not as weak as in the legend, but more sturdy...

"Uncle Pei, Abao Fulang!"

Little Fatty ran over, and the other children in the yard also ran over together. Now if the children in the village say who they like the most, it must be the Pei family.

Because of the expectation of their future children in their hearts, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao like children the most, and they always carry some snacks in their pockets to amuse the children when they go out.

After grabbing a handful of the common peanut candies in the town and giving them to everyone, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao followed Qin Xiangrong into the back room and saw the village chief.

Pei Shaorong didn't talk nonsense, he clarified his intention of coming with a few simple polite sentences.

"Old village chief, I have dragged these tomatoes and watermelons to Yueyang City for a trial sale this time, and the price is not bad. When I came to the village, everyone took good care of me, so I thought, if you have money, everyone can earn it together. People in the village get rich and build houses together!"

"Pei Xianggong, here, this tomato can really be sold as meat? You didn't lie to me for twenty yuan, and watermelon, can it be fifteen yuan?"

After listening to Pei Shaorong's words, Qin Laoshuan was stunned. What kind of precious thing is this tomato and watermelon? …

"Old village chief, the price is high now because there is nothing rare in a radius of a hundred miles. If everyone in our village grows it, and these two things are not suitable for long-distance transportation and sales, the price will naturally drop by then, but it is also Still making money..."

"Old village chief, according to my estimation, the prices of these tomatoes and watermelons will not drop below ten cents for at least two years, and it is a great advantage that only our village grows them..."

This is what Pei Shaorong has considered in many ways. The transportation in ancient times is too inconvenient, and not everyone has such a convenient and safe space.

Watermelons and tomatoes were not suitable for long-distance transportation and sales in ancient times, so Pei Shaorong was willing to share these two things with everyone.

With a smile, Pei Shaorong continued, "However, I don't have many tomato and watermelon seeds. Now there are only three acres of seedlings, and each family in the village may not have many..."

"It's natural..." After hearing Pei Shaorong's analysis, Qin Laoshuan suddenly saw the prospect of increasing everyone's income.

According to Pei Shaorong's narration, tomatoes are fine, but this watermelon does not grow for a long time, and they don't choose the land. The villagers can directly plant two acres of sandy land in the back mountain.

For everyone, it is a matter of making the next effort, but the annual income will definitely increase significantly!

Although Pei Shaorong doesn't contribute many seedlings, and each household only gets a little bit, but as long as they make good use of them, the villagers' income will increase by one in the future.

Thinking of this, Qin Laoshuan comforted himself. He never thought that Pei Shaorong, a newcomer from outside, is really a good person!

Patting Pei Shaorong on the shoulder, Qin Laoshuan said earnestly, "Pei's family, I know you are a good young man, tell me, how do you plan to sell this seedling, I won't let the village treat you badly..."

Qin Laoshuan also understands that the seedlings of the Pei family can't just be given away for nothing. Collecting money is a matter of course.

Hearing Qin Laoshuan's words, Pei Shaorong was also satisfied. He secretly thought that the village head is also a sensible person, and he is not a person who suffers. Since he shared such a good thing with everyone, he would be too sorry for himself if he didn't get some benefits back. !

"Old village chief, since you have said so, then I will not be polite..."

Pei Shaorong stared at Qin Laoshuan because he was a little annoyed at the way he said too much because he was rude.

"How many seedlings I have in my field are placed there. I keep one-third of the tomatoes and watermelons for myself, and I don't want more than the remaining two-thirds. I just charge 30 taels of seed money. How can I give it to the village? You are the old village chief, I don't care..."

30 There are not many stalls per household in the two villages, and the villagers can definitely afford it. This kind of money is earned for nothing, and Pei Shaorong's focus is not here.

"Old village chief, besides the seed money, I have one more condition for me to give the seedlings to the village..."

"What are the conditions, tell me..." Qin Laoshuan nodded, Pei Shaorong asked for 30 taels of seed money, which is not too much, after all, things are rare and cannot be bought with silver now.

"I want to buy sweet potatoes from the village!"

"What?" Qin Laoshuan was startled, "You...why do you want so many sweet potatoes?"

It is not impossible to sell all the sweet potatoes to Pei Shaorong. Anyway, everyone is going to sell them now, but Qin Laoshuan is really surprised why the Pei family needs so many sweet potatoes?

According to the high yield of sweet potatoes, every family in the village can basically harvest several thousand catties of sweet potatoes. Well, what does the Pei family want to do...

What Pei Shaorong wants to do, of course, is to use sweet potatoes to make money. Now everyone doesn't know that sweet potato flour can be used to make vermicelli, so of course he wants to make money from this opportunity.

In addition to vermicelli, there are many foods that can be made from sweet potatoes. The most important thing is that this sweet potato flour can also be used to make steamed buns. The steamed buns mixed with flour are not only delicious, but also save the use of flour!

At that time, the vermicelli and sweet potato flour will not only be sold in Yueyang, but also suitable for long-distance transportation because they are convenient for storage, and can be developed outside.

"Old village chief, I won't hide it from you. I bought the sweet potatoes in the village to make money. I plan to set up a factory and sell some sweet potato products..."

"The purchase price of these sweet potatoes is based on the annual selling price in the village, which is two cents per catty. In addition, I want the village chief to agree to help me persuade the villagers to come to work in my factory, and I will pay everyone!"

If you want to make a fortune, besides your business acumen, you naturally need help from people. This is why Pei Shaorong has always wanted to win over the villagers.

His plan as a landlord is not just to farm and sell some food, but of course to use resources to earn money for himself. No one will ever have too much money!

This factory is not only to make sweet potato products, Pei Shaorong has many plans, and it is absolutely imperative to hire people to set up a factory.

"Pei's family...you..." Qin Laoshuan suddenly felt a little parched. Seeing Pei Shaorong like this, he was planning to do something big.

Qin Laoshuan, who works in the factory, didn't understand, but he understood what Pei Shaorong wanted to express, that is, he wanted to invite people from the village to work in his house!

Pei Shaorong also knew that sometimes his words were too modern, it was difficult for ancient people like Qin Laoshuan to understand, so he continued after thinking about it.

"Village chief, I will make an example of the specific regulations for hiring people in my family's factory at that time. You can just help me persuade the villagers to come to my house to help. I will never treat everyone badly... I don't know if the village chief will do it. ?”

"Do it!"

Qin Laoshuan slapped his thigh, he is a fool if he has money but does not make money, usually he goes to the town to find a job to earn money to subsidize the family when the villagers are not busy, now the Pei family is asking for help in the village, no one will not be unwilling.

After agreeing with the village chief, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao went home satisfied to discuss the establishment of the factory together, and the village chief hurriedly called the villagers to pass on the good news brought by Pei's family to everyone.

Whether it's Jingui's red tomato lanterns and watermelons, or the factory that Pei's family wants to set up and hire people to work, it's definitely great news for the people of Linjiang Village.

In short, for everyone, these two things are beneficial and harmless. When the village chief released the news, no one in the village refuted it, and everyone applauded it. Who would dislike this money-making thing?
