Transmigrated into the Pastoral Scenery
Chapter 55
Of course Song Jingwei understood what the young man meant, he knew it as early as Shen Junxi gestured the first sentence.He stared fixedly at the young man, his condensed eyes made the young man uneasy, the longer he remained silent, the deeper the young man's heart sank.
"..." Shen Junxi thought to himself, he understood what his wife meant.The eyes that had been staring at Song Jingwei all this time drooped down.It is still too reluctant, and it is absurd to make such a proposal hastily.
"You said, you want to give birth to a younger brother for Benben..." Song Jingwei said coldly, "You just want to have a baby?" What made him angry was not that Shen Junxi wanted to give birth to a younger brother for Benben, what he felt unhappy was , the young man came to him just to have a child.
Although the end result is the same, the concept of the two is very different.
"Huh?" Shen Junxi looked up at him, gestured and said, "Why do you ask like that?" He still didn't understand what Song Jingwei meant.
"I'm not a tool for you to have children." Song Jingwei said.
"..." Shen Junxi opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and then closed it tightly. He shook his head violently, and gestured eagerly with his eyes: "I didn't mean that, I didn't think of you as that..." How could he Well, regarding Song Jingwei as a tool to give birth to a baby, where does this come from?He loves him and loves him too late.
"Then why not, think about what you said just now, what would you do if I told you?" Song Jingwei said, not really angry, but patiently explaining to Shen Junxi slowly.
When Shen Junxi heard the words, he seriously thought about what he had said, and when he repeated it for the first time, he didn't feel that he had said anything wrong.Repeating it again, he slowly felt something was wrong, as if there was really... some ambiguity.
His face changed, and he took a sneak peek at Song Jingwei, and found that although the other party was cold, he still patiently waited for him to come to his senses.Therefore, feeling both ashamed and grateful, he nodded and gestured: "I was wrong."
"Where did you say something wrong?" Song Jingwei asked.
"Everything is wrong." Shen Junxi gestured honestly.
Song Jingwei looked at him quietly for a while, thinking that there was no need to be angry about this matter.He knows what kind of person Shen Junxi is.I'm afraid that Shen Junxi would not dare to use him as a reproductive tool if given a hundred courage.
"Benben is still so young, why are you in such a hurry to give birth to his younger brother?" Finally, he returned to his usual appearance and asked slowly.
Shen Junxi is of course hard to say, this is his mother Yang's suggestion, he gestured and said: "It is always necessary to give birth, it is better to give birth sooner than later. It is better for your health earlier." They don't have very detailed medical concepts, but they also know Give birth to a child at a suitable age earlier, and the body's recovery ability will be better.
"That's all you decide, Benben will have a younger brother?" Song Jingwei raised his eyebrows and looked at him, as if he was sure that he would have another one.
"..." Shen Junxi looked at him, not knowing what to say.He believes that the relationship with Song Jingwei has gradually improved, and it will be a matter of time before he gives birth to a younger brother, but he still has no confidence in the face of Song Jingwei's problem.
"You are too anxious." Song Jing sighed slightly inwardly.
"En." Shen Junxi responded, admitting the problem.Being directly pointed out by Song Jingwei, he felt much more relaxed. He smiled and gestured: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this."
Song Jingwei looked at him and said, "It's not serious enough to apologize." He is also a person who has never been in a relationship, so he doesn't know what such a development is.But with his own EQ, he can definitely crush Shen Junxi completely.
And the other party is just a jerky young man who doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't seem to have a sense of accomplishment when he is bullied.
"Don't talk about having a younger brother." Shen Junxi regretted in annoyance. He shouldn't have listened to his mother and talked nonsense on the spur of the moment. He gestured: "I want to talk about us."
"What are we?"
"Do you hate me?" The young man gestured to him seriously.
"No." Song Jingwei quickly gave him an answer, and it was a happy answer. He thought Shen Junxi knew it a long time ago, because he said it more than once.
"En." Shen Junxi responded in a low voice, and then gestured again: "Then you hate... being close to me?"
Only then did Song Jingwei realize that what happened before was the foundation of the youth's real problem... Regarding intimacy, because the ancients used a more subtle term, Song Jingwei automatically understood that intimacy meant intimate contact, and he said, "No."
Shen Junxi could be heard heaving a sigh of relief, and then he summoned up his courage, brought his face up and kissed the corner of Song Jingwei's mouth.Seeing that Song Jingwei showed no rejection or disgust, he approached boldly, not only kissing, but also wrapped his hands around the other's waist.
"..." Song Jingwei sat on the bed, his posture unchanged, allowing the young man to kiss and hug him.
This is the third kiss, but he still feels that the youth is very jerky.If he didn't take the lead, Shen Junxi wouldn't even make any big intimate moves, and would just linger on his lips tenderly.
Song Jingwei stretched out his palm, pressed the back of the young man's head, and ended the tender kiss.He turned tenderness into fierceness, tenderness into mutual devouring.It's like a lingering pursuit to the death, each of them puts their strengths on it, indulges and concentrates.
"..." Shen Junxi's breathing became more and more disordered, and the arms around Song Jingwei's body were tightened more and more tightly.This kind of unconscious occupation made Song Jingwei feel very suffocated, without any freedom.
While continuing to chase and kiss each other with his lips and tongue, he tried to forcefully open the arms around his waist.But Shen Junxi hugged him tighter and tighter, as if only in this way could he vent and express his current excitement.
After a long time, the two connected lips finally separated, and the ambiguous silver thread was broken in the air.
Shen Junxi tried his best to control his messy breathing, and stared at Song Jingwei with two misty eyes. It wasn't until Song Jingwei signaled with his eyes that he let go of his arm belatedly, and a look of worry and self-blame appeared on his face. expression.
"It's nothing, pay attention next time." Song Jingwei said in a hoarse voice.
"Hmm..." Shen Junxi hurriedly responded, and then moved to the side without any trace, covering his waist and abdomen with a thin quilt.
"..." Song Jing glanced at him slightly, and smiled knowingly, feeling that the young man was cute, so he said, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that Shen Junxi shook his head quickly.
"Hey, go clean the room by yourself and wash up." Song Jingwei thought he was, what the hell.
Shen Junxi was astonished and embarrassed, he shook his head and gestured: "That's not the case." He knew that Song Jingwei had misunderstood, this misunderstanding was too embarrassing, he didn't at all, he just got up.
"Oh, not yet." Song Jingwei said, feeling relieved after thinking about it.It's not the first time for Shen Junxi, there's no reason why there's nothing like a kiss.
"..." Shen Junxi's face was already blushing uncomfortably, he turned to the other side, it was inevitable that he would be seen, and he didn't want to see anyone.
"There's nothing to be shy about, men are like this." Song Jingwei said lightly, it was a little hot just now, but now the cool breeze blows, and his neck and face feel comfortable.
"En." Shen Junxi was over there, and replied sullenly.
"Are you ready?" Song Jingwei asked after a while.
"..." Shen Junxi was about to recover, but it was not good to be cared about.But he has no reason to tell his wife to shut up. What he can do is to close his eyes tightly and think about other things.
"..." Song Jingwei glanced at him, moved over, and stuck to his back.
This action startled Shen Junxi, he opened his eyes suddenly, and looked back at Song Jingwei, with panic and doubt in his eyes?
"Relax." Song Jingwei said, reaching out to untie his trousers.
"..." Shen Junxi grabbed that hand with one hand, still looking at Song Jingwei with a terrified expression.
"Let go." Song Jingwei said in an orderly tone.
"..." Shen Junxi's palm loosened and tightened, loosened and tightened again, which showed that he was very conflicted.He kind of knew what Song Jingwei was going to do to him, he didn't want to refuse, it was just that this matter was too embarrassing and he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.From his point of view, the bridal chamber is an upright bridal chamber, and everything is done according to the teachings in the book.
But one person uses his hand for another... I have never known this method.
In Song Jingwei's world, there is no such concern.He disliked the young man for being too ink-stained, so he waved that hand away.The slender fingers untied the young man's belt, sneaked his palm into it, and held it resolutely.
"..." Shen Junxi lowered his eyelids, opened them slightly, and then closed them again.As if this can save those embarrassment and shame...
Song Jingwei fiddled a few times, disgusted that such a posture was not smooth.He pushed the young man onto the couch, trying to take off the young man's whole pair of obscene pants.
"..." Shen Junxi clenched his trousers tightly with an aggrieved face.
"Let go, it's okay." Song Jingwei opened his fingers and took off his obscene pants.
In the end, Song Jingwei knelt and sat in the middle, with the young man's legs resting on his thighs.This pose is very embarrassing.So Shen Junxi didn't dare to look down, he turned his face to look at other places.
But it is undeniable that in Song Jingwei's hands, he is very comfortable and excited.
"..." As time passed, the young man's face became more and more flushed, and there were suspicious physiological wet marks in the corners of his eyes, as well as a tinge of redness.
Although it was a very exciting moment, the young man was still quiet. He couldn't make ambiguous noises when doing such things like others. He could only open his mouth and put those voices that could not be uttered into his heart.
"Are you ready?" Song Jingwei switched hands back and forth twice, and finally just put both hands together.
"Hmm..." Shen Junxi replied in a low voice, the only voice changed its tone, and it became stormy, and then tightly grasped the quilt under him, it was over.
Seeing the young man lying on the couch with shortness of breath and heaving chest, who seemed to be still indulging in a comfortable enjoyment, Song Jingwei picked up the...suspected baby's diaper beside him, and wiped his hands.
He sat up, pulled the thin quilt to cover the youth's bare waist, then got out of bed and said, "I'm going to wash my hands."
"..." Shen Junxi looked at him out of the corner of his eye, the back of him entering the clean room, his breathing was still messy.But compared to the most violent time, it is now considered calm.He closed his eyes and took a few minutes to return to his normal appearance.
Then a feeling of shame came over his face, he even disliked his own shamelessness, got up and put on the obscene pants quickly, sinking deeply into self-loathing.
Song Jingwei came out of the clean room and saw young elementary school students sitting at the table cautiously, and said with a smile: "What are you doing?"
Shen Junxi looked up at his smiling daughter-in-law, and immediately felt better. He was actually embarrassed, and he shook his head and gestured: "Thank you, Jing Wei, for your hard work..."
"It's really hard." Song Jingwei said, shaking his hands.
"..." Shen Junxi blushed again, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.Song Jingwei's good attitude washed away his self-loathing.In fact, he is very simple, as long as Song Jingwei doesn't dislike him, he won't think too much.He was happy that Song Jingwei was willing to do this kind of thing for him tonight, which showed that they were much closer again.
"Go to sleep, or what else do you want to do?" Song Jingwei said, looking at the book on the table, thinking that the young man still needs to read for a while.
"Well..." Shen Junxi shook his head quickly, and gestured: "I don't want to do anything, sleep."
Of course Song Jingwei knew that the young man misunderstood what he meant again, but he didn't intend to explain, just smiled, and went straight to bed to get ready for sleep.
Seeing that he was still sleeping on the arhat bed by the window, Shen Junxi looked at the big bed hesitantly.It stands to reason that one of them must go to sleep with the baby, but in the current situation, he doesn't want to go to sleep with the baby.
He had no choice but to apologize to the baby in his heart: I'm sorry baby, dad will sleep with you tomorrow night.
After muttering these things in his heart, Shen Junxi resolutely blew out the oil lamp and chose to go to Song Jingwei's side.
"Shouldn't you be with Benben?" Song Jingwei said lazily.
"..." Shen Junxi turned his body sideways, facing Song Jingwei's back, stretched out his hand to stroke his back and said, "Accompany you."
If there is light in the room, if Song Jingwei turns his head, he will see the young man's satisfied and happy smile, making his clean face look several years younger.
After sleeping for a while, Song Jingwei turned around and faced the young man.
Shen Junxi approached slowly and hugged him in the dark.The pillow full of blue hair is entangled and scattered in one place, and the two steady breaths rise and fall quietly.
Benben woke up crying once at night, Shen Junxi got up quickly to comfort him, fed him something, and then fell asleep.Still putting himself stupidly on the big bed, Shen Junxi continued to return to his wife, and quickly fell asleep with her in his arms.
After taking the baby for so long, he has learned how to sleepwalk up to nurse and change diapers to coax the baby, and then sleepwalk back to sleep.
So a good night's sleep, the sun rises and the moon sets.
The rooster crowing in the early morning woke up Shen Junxi and Song Jingwei, both of whom were newcomers at the same time, laying on the bed for a while as usual.
Song Jingwei said: "Go and see if the baby is awake."
Shen Junxi gestured: "He woke up once last night, not so early."
"Oh." After a pause, Song Jingwei slowly got up from the bed, got out of bed, put on his shoes, washed, and tidied his hair.
A young man came from behind and accepted the job of binding his hair for him.
Song Jingwei could see from the not-so-clear bronze mirror that Shen Junxi lowered his head slightly, with a focused expression and gentle movements, treating the hair in his hand like something he loved.
In the end, he tied a simple-colored ribbon with gorgeous patterns at the end of Song Jingwei's hair, and two turquoises were adorned on both ends of the ribbon.
He gestured with a smile and said, "It looks good."
Song Jingwei scooped up the end of his hair, looked at it, and didn't comment.He usually doesn't do this, but since the young man helped him put it on, he won't take it off on purpose.
"not bad."
"En." With the other party's acknowledgment, Shen Junxi smiled and rolled his eyes.
It didn't take long for Benben to cry, and the peaceful time between the two ended.The beginning of the day is to wash the buttocks with the babbling stupid, change the diaper, and feed the porridge.
Song Jingwei didn't take over these tasks very much, at most he was there to help.
After the whole family had breakfast, Mrs. Yang went out early to do chores in front of and behind her house, and Shen Dongming would continue to go to the field to lead the long-term workers to dig lotus roots.There was no way, Benben was placed on Shen Junxi's back again.
"I'm going to the field, why don't you stay at home?" Song Jingwei also wanted to go out, he suggested to the young man, or leave him alone at home to take care of the baby.
"I'll go out." Shen Junxi gestured, and carefully locked the first and second doors of the house, leaving Xiao Hei to watch the door.
Anyone who has had a baby knows that taking a baby out is not an easy task, at least you have to carry a lot of necessities with you at all times.Therefore, Shen Junxi was stupid and didn't plan to stay outside for a long time.Watch them work, and when the sun starts to shine, he goes home.
He tugged on Song Jingwei's sleeve, indicating that he was going back, his focused eyes seemed to ask: Are you going back?Go back, it's hot and sunny here.
Song Jingwei was a little speechless. Before he came out, he knew that it was hot and sunny here, but he didn't come here to enjoy the show, he came to help with work.
Shen Junxi gestured directly: "You can't help much."
Song Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Does it mean that you have to do it yourself to help?" He also wanted to go down and practice, but looking at the mud in the quagmire, think about it or forget it.
"Father is here." Shen Junxi gestured, expecting him to go back together.
Seeing the two of them talking, Shen Dongming also smiled and said: "Yes, Jing Wei, let's go back together, it's drying here." It's still morning, the sun is not too big, after this point, it will be terrible .
"Father said so." Shen Junxi smiled at his father and blinked.
"Yes, go back, there is no one at home." Shen Dongming continued to persuade: "I am here, don't worry."
Speaking of this, Song Jingwei certainly couldn't refuse, otherwise it would be distrust of Shen Dongming, he said: "Then go back."
The two walked home together, but the door was still locked, which meant that Mrs. Yang hadn't come back yet.
After Mrs. Yang came back sweating profusely, she said that it was extremely hot outside, and the sun was so fierce today, so she asked them, "When did you come back?" The hat fan nodded and said: "That's good. If you want to go out in the future, go out in the morning, go out for a walk and come back early. When the heat is over, it's not too late to go outside. Anyway, there is your father in the field. "
She hoped that her daughter-in-law and son would take good care of the baby at home. If Song Jingwei was alone, she would be a little worried, but she would feel at ease only with Shen Junxi around.
It's not that he doesn't believe that Song Jingwei can't bring up children well, it's just that, psychological effects, he always feels that he is not so at ease.
"Well, let's wait for these few days to pass." Looking at the weather, these few days are the hottest time of the year, and it may rain after these few days.
But the [-]th day is just around the corner. On that day, the family handed over Benben to Mrs. Yang, and all three of them went out.
During the ten days this time, more lotus roots were dug than last time.The long-term workers who helped carry it all went back when they arrived, leaving only the three men from the Shen family at the pier waiting for Yuan Guanlin's ship to arrive.
Almost all of them were thinking in their hearts, how much could they sell for the batch of lotus root and fish and shrimp last time?How much money is considered profitable?How much money is not a loss?If you sell at a loss, how to adjust and how to save it.
Yuan Guanlin's boat arrived as scheduled. When he came down, he saw lotus roots, fish and shrimps all over the ground, and said with a smile, "It's a lot more than last time, huh?" He said awkwardly, "Didn't you say you didn't come back?" He quickly looked at the boat, but luckily the head of the family was entangled by the child and did not come down.
"You are not allowed to come back after you go out?" Song Jingwei seldom talked nonsense to him, and asked directly: "How did the last batch of goods sell?"
Yuan Guanlin immediately said: "I made a move, so naturally it sold well." After he was satisfied, he said honestly: "It's also because you got a good product, and the lotus root sold especially well." At first, the price couldn't be negotiated, so he didn't want to just let it go sell off.Later, I thought of a more troublesome way, and the price of lotus root immediately soared.
"That's good, thank you for your hard work." The lotus root sold well, Song Jingwei smiled at him generously, and asked, "Where are the fish and shrimp?"
Yuan Guanlin said: "That's something I'm used to selling, so it's not a loss anyway."
"Oh, then let's talk about the profits of the two things." Hearing that both things are okay, Song Jingwei talked with Yuan Guanlin in detail on the spot.Before that, he also inquired about the price of lotus root, so comparing the two, he also knew that Yuan Guanlin was not lying, and the business was very good.
After talking about a cup of tea, Yuan Guanlin said in a muffled voice, "If the old man hadn't taken good care of you, I wouldn't have given you so much profit."
"Hehe, if it wasn't for the old man's guarantee, I wouldn't have delivered the goods to you." The negotiated price was his ideal price, and Song Jingwei said happily, "Okay, let your boatman come down to carry the goods."
"Hmph." Yuan Guanlin stared, there was nothing he could do about it, so he had to turn around and go back to ask someone to move the goods.
After the big man left, Shen Dongming asked in shock, "Daughter-in-law, the price you just mentioned...how much is it?"
"Of course it's the price of a catty." Seeing the identical expressions of Shen Dongming and Shen Junxi, Song Jingwei said.
"What, a catty?" Shen Dongming opened his mouth wide, and said, "A catty, a catty of lotus root, can you sell it for so much money?" He thought it was at most...
"This time I bought it in a relatively dry place. They probably don't grow lotus roots there." Song Jing explained with a smile. This Yuan Guanlin is indeed a master trader. Where, this is a kind of knowledge in itself.
"So that's how it is." Shen Dongming understands that rare things are more expensive. If there is really no lotus root in that place, then it is not surprising that it is sold at such a high price.He admired and said: "It turns out that the second head of the family is really a person who can do business."
Song Jing smiled and said, "He's already making a living out of this job, so he doesn't know how to do it."
Shen Dongming smiled and said: "That's true, just like us farm work, we rely on doing farm work for a living, so how can we do it if we don't know how to do it."
"That's the reason." Song Jing nodded slightly.
The young man also nodded. He looked at his daughter-in-law who was smiling and talking with his father, and he didn't like it in his heart.At the same time, there is also the joy of a good harvest, which lingers in my heart together.
"You made money, are you happy?" Song Jingwei looked at the young man beside him and asked.
"Happy." Shen Junxi gestured solemnly.
"Huh?" Song Jingwei raised his eyebrows, showing dissatisfaction.
"If you make money, you can raise a few more brothers." Shen Junxi added a supplementary explanation as he wished.
Song Jing gave him a slight stare, and smiled at the young man, with a hint of innocence, his flickering eyes seemed to say: "Didn't you tell me to say that?"
Soon Yuan Guanlin came down with a string of boatmen, and everyone busily began to carry.They all know that this business can make money, so they are more busy than last time.Otherwise, the merchants bring their own people to do things like moving the goods onto the ship, and they are only responsible for moving the goods off the ship.
"How many more times can I do it?" Yuan Guanlin asked.
Song Jingwei and Shen Dongming summed it up, and answered him: "The lotus root can go about four times, but there are still fish and pigs at the end of the year. I don't know how the price of pigs is outside?"
Yuan Guanlin laughed and said, "The lotus root is good, but let's not leave the pig, it stinks too much."
"Is it okay to have friendship?"
"Definitely not." He said, crossing his arms.
"Alright then." Song Jingwei said, "Bon voyage, remember to sell it for a good price."
"You need to say it." Yuan Guanlin said, seeing the last basket of lotus roots on the boat, he took out a handful of silver and handed it to Song Jingwei: "Here, order some."
Song Jingwei really nodded in front of him, nodded and said, "That's right."
Yuan Guanlin pouted, turned around and left.He always heard from his cousin and the old man that this man was good in every way, but he didn't think there was anything good about Song Jingwei at all.Oh, by the way, and their masters.
"This is the money earned from the last batch of goods. This bag is lotus root, and this small bag is fish and shrimp."
Shen Dongming and Shen Junxi looked at the two bags of silver in Song Jingwei's hands silently. It's okay to say that they are all small amounts, which are not particularly exciting.But the package of lotus root is really unexpected.
"Daughter-in-law, you still know how to grow things." Finally, Shen Dongming said with emotion, giving his daughter-in-law a thumbs up.When Song Jingwei went to toss about the lotus pond, although he didn't express his opinion, he was not very optimistic about it.Unexpectedly, today, the profit of lotus root surprised him a lot.
When Shen Junxi heard his father praise his daughter-in-law, he also looked at her and laughed. He had always supported Song Jingwei, and he believed it, knowing that Song Jingwei would not fail.
"You're absurd. It's not that I can grow things, but that Yuan Guanlin can sell things. He found the right market, which is why he can raise the price of lotus roots so high." Song Jingwei said realistically.
"You can't say that. If you hadn't worked hard to find this delicious lotus root, planted so many lotus roots, and found the boat of Yuan Erdang's family, you wouldn't have this result." So let's talk about it , or Song Jingwei's credit.
"It's okay to say that, everything is causal." Song Jing said with a smile, and then said to their father and son: "There is still a long way to go back, let's go back quickly."
"That's right, go back quickly and tell your mothers the good news, as well as Benben." Shen Dongming said happily.
Shen Junxi and Song Jingwei, who were walking behind, looked at each other and smiled from both sides.
The lotus root at home has made money, and the worries in my heart have finally been eliminated.Everyone in the Shen family was in a good mood, so they decided to go back this time and donate five catties of lotus roots dug up to each household of Chang Gong's family, regardless of money, to taste the taste.
Before, because they didn't know the price, and because they were worried about losing money, his family didn't send it out. After all, there are so many long-term workers, and it's worth a few hundred catties in one loose.Now there is no such worry, and it is still possible for the family to send five catties.
In fact, lotus root is heavy, and five catties is not much. Some families import a lot of it, and they can finish it in one meal.There are only four people in some families, and they can eat about two meals.
The long-term workers in the field were very happy when they heard that the host family was going to send lotus roots for everyone to eat.This is something that comes for free, something that doesn't cost money, and who would be unhappy if it is so cheap.
At the end of the night, the mighty long-term workers lined up to receive the lotus root.When I got it, I went home happily, planning to cook a meal that night.
When Song Jingwei sent the lotus root, he also said to them: "This lotus root can be eaten not only fried, but also stewed, braised, stewed, and finally boiled in soup. No matter which way you eat it, They all have unique flavors. If you don’t mind the trouble, you can make several flavors separately to try.”
At present, many people said that they would let their daughter-in-law at home do it immediately when they go back.
Some people really cooked and ate it when they went back that night.As soon as they tasted the taste, they all said it was delicious, and the lotus root on the table was quickly looted and dried up.
"This lotus root is really delicious, no wonder it can make money." Everyone thought so. Before, they thought there was nothing special about this lotus root, but now they don't think so.
After eating five catties, some people were waiting for the day when Song Jingwei would give lotus roots again, while others came to ask Shen Dongming quietly: "How do you sell this lotus root in your family?"
Shen Dongming laughed and said, "The lotus root in my family is very expensive." He heard from Song Jingwei that the real price cannot be revealed.
"How expensive is it? How much does it cost?"
"Ten cents a catty," Shen Dongming said, this price is enough to make the long-term workers here reluctant to spend money to buy it. If it is the real price, they will not buy it, but it will only spread rumors.
"Tsk tsk! So expensive?" Changgong said in his heart: My darling, yesterday's meal cost fifty Wen?That's almost a day's wages.
"Yeah, so it's not that our family doesn't want to give more to everyone. The cost is too high." Shen Dongming said: "Do you know how much we spent when we bought this lotus seed?"
The man shook his head again and again, but it sounded expensive, he was still speechless, his family lost their money unconsciously last night.
"I won't say how much. Anyway, selling lotus roots now is just earning personal wages and hard work." Shen Dongming said so.
"You're joking, there must be more than that." Changgong said so, but he was not so surprised in his heart.It feels normal that Shen Dongming's family doesn't make much money.Because spending money to hire long-term workers is special. Even if the lotus root makes more money, after deducting various costs, there will not be much profit left.
That's good, through the mouth of this long-term worker, everyone knows that Shen Dongming's lotus pond is not losing money, but it doesn't make too much money either.This range is acceptable to everyone, and it is what they guessed at the beginning.This result is the best result, they will not be jealous, and they don't have to worry about their wages being lost.
So hello, hello, hello everyone, the lotus root issue continues to be excavated in full swing, and everyone is very enthusiastic.
Seeing the bag of silver brought back by her daughter-in-law, Yang's reaction was the same as that of Shen Dongming and Shen Junxi, she was speechless for a while, and was stunned.
Asking clearly that this is the profit of lotus root and fish and shrimp, she patted her chest with peace of mind, and then beamed with joy, her face full of joy of harvest.
"However, this still doesn't include the cost." Song Jingwei counted with the tick-tock of the abacus, showed them and said, "After deducting the cost, our profit is about this."
The three of them stared at the abacus. In fact, except for Shen Junxi, the other two didn't quite understand it, but it didn't prevent them from reading it seriously.
"Let's put it this way, a total of three pieces of lotus root were dug up in the last batch, and the output of each piece was about 36 catties, and the total was about 30 catties." About 90 taels of silver were sold, excluding lotus seeds, cow dung, labor for reclamation, labor for planting lotus root, labor for digging lotus root and transportation, the net profit of each lotus pond was [-] taels of silver. The profit is [-] taels of silver."
After talking about lotus root, he then talked about fish and shrimp: "There are not many fish and shrimp in our lotus pond, only about two hundred catties, and three yuan is about six hundred catties. The price of shrimp is a little higher, but the weight Less, excluding the meager cost, the net profit is ten taels of silver. The price of the fish is lower, but the weight is better, and the net profit is 20 taels of silver.
Although the profit from fish and shrimp is not as impressive as that from lotus root, it is quite good for the village's expenses.
Shen Dongming and Yang's Qiqi said in a daze, "I never expected to make so much money." They both felt like they were dreaming.
"I just stock fish and shrimp by the way. If I only raise fish and shrimp, I will definitely lose money." When he excluded the cost, he only included the money for fry.Everything other than labor is counted on the lotus root.
"In this way, our family has a total of 18 yuan lotus ponds, can we earn 450 taels of silver?"
Song Jingwei nodded and said, "Actually, that's right."
The father and son of the eldest son of the Shen family glanced at each other, then swallowed and said, "My dear, it only took half a year to earn 450 taels of silver."
Of course, this is a lot for them, but for Song Jingwei, the silver is just a subsidy before the tea is not put into production.Because the cost of getting this land is too much, if there is no income, it will appear that the income is beyond the means, and I am afraid that even the wages of the workers are not enough.
The wages for these batches of lotus roots, together with the money for fish and shrimp, can barely support the expenditure of the tea garden before it is put into production.But this is already very good. In Song Jingwei's prediction, he didn't expect the lotus root to make money.
He said: "Our tea garden has invested too much, and the money earned from these lotus roots is just to subsidize the labor and investment of the tea garden." Seeing their astonished expressions, he continued: "But don't be discouraged, wait for the tea garden. After it is put into production, the money earned here is pure profit. And the production of lotus root will also increase, and next year it will be more than this little.
In the first year of this year, they didn't dare to plant too densely. By next year, the output of one piece is estimated to reach [-] jin.
"That's true." Shen Dongming knew more about the things in the lotus pond. He nodded in agreement when he heard the words: "It's pretty good to make money from the lotus pond to subsidize the tea garden. Think about it, their The salary is also a lot of money.”
"That's right." Song Jingwei nodded. The long-term labor price set at the beginning was a bit high, but that's all, if you don't want to spend money, you can't make money.What's more, when he thought about the personnel arrangement after the road was repaired, he later signed contracts with temporary workers, who were paid on a daily basis.After the road was repaired, only the people who rented the land stayed in the tea garden to work.
It will be better when the tea garden is put into production. After all, tea is the high-end consumable here.The price is incomparable with that of lotus root.
Now that the main road here has been repaired, some people see business opportunities and start to start their own small businesses.Even if it's not booming at first, persistence will always pay off.
"It's okay, don't we still have ten pigs in our family? Selling the pigs before the Chinese New Year is also an income." Shen Dongming said with a smile, not wanting to put too much pressure on his daughter-in-law.
"Well, the work in the field is all thanks to you. It's really hard work." Song Jingwei said to him, and then said to Yang Shi: "You worked hard too, thanks to your care."
His solemn thanks made the Shen family feel uncomfortable and said, "We are all one family, what are you talking about? Isn't this what it should be?"
When they work in the field, it is like doing the work at home. There is no hard work, it is all for the better and better of this family, no matter what
"..." Shen Junxi thought to himself, he understood what his wife meant.The eyes that had been staring at Song Jingwei all this time drooped down.It is still too reluctant, and it is absurd to make such a proposal hastily.
"You said, you want to give birth to a younger brother for Benben..." Song Jingwei said coldly, "You just want to have a baby?" What made him angry was not that Shen Junxi wanted to give birth to a younger brother for Benben, what he felt unhappy was , the young man came to him just to have a child.
Although the end result is the same, the concept of the two is very different.
"Huh?" Shen Junxi looked up at him, gestured and said, "Why do you ask like that?" He still didn't understand what Song Jingwei meant.
"I'm not a tool for you to have children." Song Jingwei said.
"..." Shen Junxi opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and then closed it tightly. He shook his head violently, and gestured eagerly with his eyes: "I didn't mean that, I didn't think of you as that..." How could he Well, regarding Song Jingwei as a tool to give birth to a baby, where does this come from?He loves him and loves him too late.
"Then why not, think about what you said just now, what would you do if I told you?" Song Jingwei said, not really angry, but patiently explaining to Shen Junxi slowly.
When Shen Junxi heard the words, he seriously thought about what he had said, and when he repeated it for the first time, he didn't feel that he had said anything wrong.Repeating it again, he slowly felt something was wrong, as if there was really... some ambiguity.
His face changed, and he took a sneak peek at Song Jingwei, and found that although the other party was cold, he still patiently waited for him to come to his senses.Therefore, feeling both ashamed and grateful, he nodded and gestured: "I was wrong."
"Where did you say something wrong?" Song Jingwei asked.
"Everything is wrong." Shen Junxi gestured honestly.
Song Jingwei looked at him quietly for a while, thinking that there was no need to be angry about this matter.He knows what kind of person Shen Junxi is.I'm afraid that Shen Junxi would not dare to use him as a reproductive tool if given a hundred courage.
"Benben is still so young, why are you in such a hurry to give birth to his younger brother?" Finally, he returned to his usual appearance and asked slowly.
Shen Junxi is of course hard to say, this is his mother Yang's suggestion, he gestured and said: "It is always necessary to give birth, it is better to give birth sooner than later. It is better for your health earlier." They don't have very detailed medical concepts, but they also know Give birth to a child at a suitable age earlier, and the body's recovery ability will be better.
"That's all you decide, Benben will have a younger brother?" Song Jingwei raised his eyebrows and looked at him, as if he was sure that he would have another one.
"..." Shen Junxi looked at him, not knowing what to say.He believes that the relationship with Song Jingwei has gradually improved, and it will be a matter of time before he gives birth to a younger brother, but he still has no confidence in the face of Song Jingwei's problem.
"You are too anxious." Song Jing sighed slightly inwardly.
"En." Shen Junxi responded, admitting the problem.Being directly pointed out by Song Jingwei, he felt much more relaxed. He smiled and gestured: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this."
Song Jingwei looked at him and said, "It's not serious enough to apologize." He is also a person who has never been in a relationship, so he doesn't know what such a development is.But with his own EQ, he can definitely crush Shen Junxi completely.
And the other party is just a jerky young man who doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't seem to have a sense of accomplishment when he is bullied.
"Don't talk about having a younger brother." Shen Junxi regretted in annoyance. He shouldn't have listened to his mother and talked nonsense on the spur of the moment. He gestured: "I want to talk about us."
"What are we?"
"Do you hate me?" The young man gestured to him seriously.
"No." Song Jingwei quickly gave him an answer, and it was a happy answer. He thought Shen Junxi knew it a long time ago, because he said it more than once.
"En." Shen Junxi responded in a low voice, and then gestured again: "Then you hate... being close to me?"
Only then did Song Jingwei realize that what happened before was the foundation of the youth's real problem... Regarding intimacy, because the ancients used a more subtle term, Song Jingwei automatically understood that intimacy meant intimate contact, and he said, "No."
Shen Junxi could be heard heaving a sigh of relief, and then he summoned up his courage, brought his face up and kissed the corner of Song Jingwei's mouth.Seeing that Song Jingwei showed no rejection or disgust, he approached boldly, not only kissing, but also wrapped his hands around the other's waist.
"..." Song Jingwei sat on the bed, his posture unchanged, allowing the young man to kiss and hug him.
This is the third kiss, but he still feels that the youth is very jerky.If he didn't take the lead, Shen Junxi wouldn't even make any big intimate moves, and would just linger on his lips tenderly.
Song Jingwei stretched out his palm, pressed the back of the young man's head, and ended the tender kiss.He turned tenderness into fierceness, tenderness into mutual devouring.It's like a lingering pursuit to the death, each of them puts their strengths on it, indulges and concentrates.
"..." Shen Junxi's breathing became more and more disordered, and the arms around Song Jingwei's body were tightened more and more tightly.This kind of unconscious occupation made Song Jingwei feel very suffocated, without any freedom.
While continuing to chase and kiss each other with his lips and tongue, he tried to forcefully open the arms around his waist.But Shen Junxi hugged him tighter and tighter, as if only in this way could he vent and express his current excitement.
After a long time, the two connected lips finally separated, and the ambiguous silver thread was broken in the air.
Shen Junxi tried his best to control his messy breathing, and stared at Song Jingwei with two misty eyes. It wasn't until Song Jingwei signaled with his eyes that he let go of his arm belatedly, and a look of worry and self-blame appeared on his face. expression.
"It's nothing, pay attention next time." Song Jingwei said in a hoarse voice.
"Hmm..." Shen Junxi hurriedly responded, and then moved to the side without any trace, covering his waist and abdomen with a thin quilt.
"..." Song Jing glanced at him slightly, and smiled knowingly, feeling that the young man was cute, so he said, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that Shen Junxi shook his head quickly.
"Hey, go clean the room by yourself and wash up." Song Jingwei thought he was, what the hell.
Shen Junxi was astonished and embarrassed, he shook his head and gestured: "That's not the case." He knew that Song Jingwei had misunderstood, this misunderstanding was too embarrassing, he didn't at all, he just got up.
"Oh, not yet." Song Jingwei said, feeling relieved after thinking about it.It's not the first time for Shen Junxi, there's no reason why there's nothing like a kiss.
"..." Shen Junxi's face was already blushing uncomfortably, he turned to the other side, it was inevitable that he would be seen, and he didn't want to see anyone.
"There's nothing to be shy about, men are like this." Song Jingwei said lightly, it was a little hot just now, but now the cool breeze blows, and his neck and face feel comfortable.
"En." Shen Junxi was over there, and replied sullenly.
"Are you ready?" Song Jingwei asked after a while.
"..." Shen Junxi was about to recover, but it was not good to be cared about.But he has no reason to tell his wife to shut up. What he can do is to close his eyes tightly and think about other things.
"..." Song Jingwei glanced at him, moved over, and stuck to his back.
This action startled Shen Junxi, he opened his eyes suddenly, and looked back at Song Jingwei, with panic and doubt in his eyes?
"Relax." Song Jingwei said, reaching out to untie his trousers.
"..." Shen Junxi grabbed that hand with one hand, still looking at Song Jingwei with a terrified expression.
"Let go." Song Jingwei said in an orderly tone.
"..." Shen Junxi's palm loosened and tightened, loosened and tightened again, which showed that he was very conflicted.He kind of knew what Song Jingwei was going to do to him, he didn't want to refuse, it was just that this matter was too embarrassing and he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.From his point of view, the bridal chamber is an upright bridal chamber, and everything is done according to the teachings in the book.
But one person uses his hand for another... I have never known this method.
In Song Jingwei's world, there is no such concern.He disliked the young man for being too ink-stained, so he waved that hand away.The slender fingers untied the young man's belt, sneaked his palm into it, and held it resolutely.
"..." Shen Junxi lowered his eyelids, opened them slightly, and then closed them again.As if this can save those embarrassment and shame...
Song Jingwei fiddled a few times, disgusted that such a posture was not smooth.He pushed the young man onto the couch, trying to take off the young man's whole pair of obscene pants.
"..." Shen Junxi clenched his trousers tightly with an aggrieved face.
"Let go, it's okay." Song Jingwei opened his fingers and took off his obscene pants.
In the end, Song Jingwei knelt and sat in the middle, with the young man's legs resting on his thighs.This pose is very embarrassing.So Shen Junxi didn't dare to look down, he turned his face to look at other places.
But it is undeniable that in Song Jingwei's hands, he is very comfortable and excited.
"..." As time passed, the young man's face became more and more flushed, and there were suspicious physiological wet marks in the corners of his eyes, as well as a tinge of redness.
Although it was a very exciting moment, the young man was still quiet. He couldn't make ambiguous noises when doing such things like others. He could only open his mouth and put those voices that could not be uttered into his heart.
"Are you ready?" Song Jingwei switched hands back and forth twice, and finally just put both hands together.
"Hmm..." Shen Junxi replied in a low voice, the only voice changed its tone, and it became stormy, and then tightly grasped the quilt under him, it was over.
Seeing the young man lying on the couch with shortness of breath and heaving chest, who seemed to be still indulging in a comfortable enjoyment, Song Jingwei picked up the...suspected baby's diaper beside him, and wiped his hands.
He sat up, pulled the thin quilt to cover the youth's bare waist, then got out of bed and said, "I'm going to wash my hands."
"..." Shen Junxi looked at him out of the corner of his eye, the back of him entering the clean room, his breathing was still messy.But compared to the most violent time, it is now considered calm.He closed his eyes and took a few minutes to return to his normal appearance.
Then a feeling of shame came over his face, he even disliked his own shamelessness, got up and put on the obscene pants quickly, sinking deeply into self-loathing.
Song Jingwei came out of the clean room and saw young elementary school students sitting at the table cautiously, and said with a smile: "What are you doing?"
Shen Junxi looked up at his smiling daughter-in-law, and immediately felt better. He was actually embarrassed, and he shook his head and gestured: "Thank you, Jing Wei, for your hard work..."
"It's really hard." Song Jingwei said, shaking his hands.
"..." Shen Junxi blushed again, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.Song Jingwei's good attitude washed away his self-loathing.In fact, he is very simple, as long as Song Jingwei doesn't dislike him, he won't think too much.He was happy that Song Jingwei was willing to do this kind of thing for him tonight, which showed that they were much closer again.
"Go to sleep, or what else do you want to do?" Song Jingwei said, looking at the book on the table, thinking that the young man still needs to read for a while.
"Well..." Shen Junxi shook his head quickly, and gestured: "I don't want to do anything, sleep."
Of course Song Jingwei knew that the young man misunderstood what he meant again, but he didn't intend to explain, just smiled, and went straight to bed to get ready for sleep.
Seeing that he was still sleeping on the arhat bed by the window, Shen Junxi looked at the big bed hesitantly.It stands to reason that one of them must go to sleep with the baby, but in the current situation, he doesn't want to go to sleep with the baby.
He had no choice but to apologize to the baby in his heart: I'm sorry baby, dad will sleep with you tomorrow night.
After muttering these things in his heart, Shen Junxi resolutely blew out the oil lamp and chose to go to Song Jingwei's side.
"Shouldn't you be with Benben?" Song Jingwei said lazily.
"..." Shen Junxi turned his body sideways, facing Song Jingwei's back, stretched out his hand to stroke his back and said, "Accompany you."
If there is light in the room, if Song Jingwei turns his head, he will see the young man's satisfied and happy smile, making his clean face look several years younger.
After sleeping for a while, Song Jingwei turned around and faced the young man.
Shen Junxi approached slowly and hugged him in the dark.The pillow full of blue hair is entangled and scattered in one place, and the two steady breaths rise and fall quietly.
Benben woke up crying once at night, Shen Junxi got up quickly to comfort him, fed him something, and then fell asleep.Still putting himself stupidly on the big bed, Shen Junxi continued to return to his wife, and quickly fell asleep with her in his arms.
After taking the baby for so long, he has learned how to sleepwalk up to nurse and change diapers to coax the baby, and then sleepwalk back to sleep.
So a good night's sleep, the sun rises and the moon sets.
The rooster crowing in the early morning woke up Shen Junxi and Song Jingwei, both of whom were newcomers at the same time, laying on the bed for a while as usual.
Song Jingwei said: "Go and see if the baby is awake."
Shen Junxi gestured: "He woke up once last night, not so early."
"Oh." After a pause, Song Jingwei slowly got up from the bed, got out of bed, put on his shoes, washed, and tidied his hair.
A young man came from behind and accepted the job of binding his hair for him.
Song Jingwei could see from the not-so-clear bronze mirror that Shen Junxi lowered his head slightly, with a focused expression and gentle movements, treating the hair in his hand like something he loved.
In the end, he tied a simple-colored ribbon with gorgeous patterns at the end of Song Jingwei's hair, and two turquoises were adorned on both ends of the ribbon.
He gestured with a smile and said, "It looks good."
Song Jingwei scooped up the end of his hair, looked at it, and didn't comment.He usually doesn't do this, but since the young man helped him put it on, he won't take it off on purpose.
"not bad."
"En." With the other party's acknowledgment, Shen Junxi smiled and rolled his eyes.
It didn't take long for Benben to cry, and the peaceful time between the two ended.The beginning of the day is to wash the buttocks with the babbling stupid, change the diaper, and feed the porridge.
Song Jingwei didn't take over these tasks very much, at most he was there to help.
After the whole family had breakfast, Mrs. Yang went out early to do chores in front of and behind her house, and Shen Dongming would continue to go to the field to lead the long-term workers to dig lotus roots.There was no way, Benben was placed on Shen Junxi's back again.
"I'm going to the field, why don't you stay at home?" Song Jingwei also wanted to go out, he suggested to the young man, or leave him alone at home to take care of the baby.
"I'll go out." Shen Junxi gestured, and carefully locked the first and second doors of the house, leaving Xiao Hei to watch the door.
Anyone who has had a baby knows that taking a baby out is not an easy task, at least you have to carry a lot of necessities with you at all times.Therefore, Shen Junxi was stupid and didn't plan to stay outside for a long time.Watch them work, and when the sun starts to shine, he goes home.
He tugged on Song Jingwei's sleeve, indicating that he was going back, his focused eyes seemed to ask: Are you going back?Go back, it's hot and sunny here.
Song Jingwei was a little speechless. Before he came out, he knew that it was hot and sunny here, but he didn't come here to enjoy the show, he came to help with work.
Shen Junxi gestured directly: "You can't help much."
Song Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Does it mean that you have to do it yourself to help?" He also wanted to go down and practice, but looking at the mud in the quagmire, think about it or forget it.
"Father is here." Shen Junxi gestured, expecting him to go back together.
Seeing the two of them talking, Shen Dongming also smiled and said: "Yes, Jing Wei, let's go back together, it's drying here." It's still morning, the sun is not too big, after this point, it will be terrible .
"Father said so." Shen Junxi smiled at his father and blinked.
"Yes, go back, there is no one at home." Shen Dongming continued to persuade: "I am here, don't worry."
Speaking of this, Song Jingwei certainly couldn't refuse, otherwise it would be distrust of Shen Dongming, he said: "Then go back."
The two walked home together, but the door was still locked, which meant that Mrs. Yang hadn't come back yet.
After Mrs. Yang came back sweating profusely, she said that it was extremely hot outside, and the sun was so fierce today, so she asked them, "When did you come back?" The hat fan nodded and said: "That's good. If you want to go out in the future, go out in the morning, go out for a walk and come back early. When the heat is over, it's not too late to go outside. Anyway, there is your father in the field. "
She hoped that her daughter-in-law and son would take good care of the baby at home. If Song Jingwei was alone, she would be a little worried, but she would feel at ease only with Shen Junxi around.
It's not that he doesn't believe that Song Jingwei can't bring up children well, it's just that, psychological effects, he always feels that he is not so at ease.
"Well, let's wait for these few days to pass." Looking at the weather, these few days are the hottest time of the year, and it may rain after these few days.
But the [-]th day is just around the corner. On that day, the family handed over Benben to Mrs. Yang, and all three of them went out.
During the ten days this time, more lotus roots were dug than last time.The long-term workers who helped carry it all went back when they arrived, leaving only the three men from the Shen family at the pier waiting for Yuan Guanlin's ship to arrive.
Almost all of them were thinking in their hearts, how much could they sell for the batch of lotus root and fish and shrimp last time?How much money is considered profitable?How much money is not a loss?If you sell at a loss, how to adjust and how to save it.
Yuan Guanlin's boat arrived as scheduled. When he came down, he saw lotus roots, fish and shrimps all over the ground, and said with a smile, "It's a lot more than last time, huh?" He said awkwardly, "Didn't you say you didn't come back?" He quickly looked at the boat, but luckily the head of the family was entangled by the child and did not come down.
"You are not allowed to come back after you go out?" Song Jingwei seldom talked nonsense to him, and asked directly: "How did the last batch of goods sell?"
Yuan Guanlin immediately said: "I made a move, so naturally it sold well." After he was satisfied, he said honestly: "It's also because you got a good product, and the lotus root sold especially well." At first, the price couldn't be negotiated, so he didn't want to just let it go sell off.Later, I thought of a more troublesome way, and the price of lotus root immediately soared.
"That's good, thank you for your hard work." The lotus root sold well, Song Jingwei smiled at him generously, and asked, "Where are the fish and shrimp?"
Yuan Guanlin said: "That's something I'm used to selling, so it's not a loss anyway."
"Oh, then let's talk about the profits of the two things." Hearing that both things are okay, Song Jingwei talked with Yuan Guanlin in detail on the spot.Before that, he also inquired about the price of lotus root, so comparing the two, he also knew that Yuan Guanlin was not lying, and the business was very good.
After talking about a cup of tea, Yuan Guanlin said in a muffled voice, "If the old man hadn't taken good care of you, I wouldn't have given you so much profit."
"Hehe, if it wasn't for the old man's guarantee, I wouldn't have delivered the goods to you." The negotiated price was his ideal price, and Song Jingwei said happily, "Okay, let your boatman come down to carry the goods."
"Hmph." Yuan Guanlin stared, there was nothing he could do about it, so he had to turn around and go back to ask someone to move the goods.
After the big man left, Shen Dongming asked in shock, "Daughter-in-law, the price you just mentioned...how much is it?"
"Of course it's the price of a catty." Seeing the identical expressions of Shen Dongming and Shen Junxi, Song Jingwei said.
"What, a catty?" Shen Dongming opened his mouth wide, and said, "A catty, a catty of lotus root, can you sell it for so much money?" He thought it was at most...
"This time I bought it in a relatively dry place. They probably don't grow lotus roots there." Song Jing explained with a smile. This Yuan Guanlin is indeed a master trader. Where, this is a kind of knowledge in itself.
"So that's how it is." Shen Dongming understands that rare things are more expensive. If there is really no lotus root in that place, then it is not surprising that it is sold at such a high price.He admired and said: "It turns out that the second head of the family is really a person who can do business."
Song Jing smiled and said, "He's already making a living out of this job, so he doesn't know how to do it."
Shen Dongming smiled and said: "That's true, just like us farm work, we rely on doing farm work for a living, so how can we do it if we don't know how to do it."
"That's the reason." Song Jing nodded slightly.
The young man also nodded. He looked at his daughter-in-law who was smiling and talking with his father, and he didn't like it in his heart.At the same time, there is also the joy of a good harvest, which lingers in my heart together.
"You made money, are you happy?" Song Jingwei looked at the young man beside him and asked.
"Happy." Shen Junxi gestured solemnly.
"Huh?" Song Jingwei raised his eyebrows, showing dissatisfaction.
"If you make money, you can raise a few more brothers." Shen Junxi added a supplementary explanation as he wished.
Song Jing gave him a slight stare, and smiled at the young man, with a hint of innocence, his flickering eyes seemed to say: "Didn't you tell me to say that?"
Soon Yuan Guanlin came down with a string of boatmen, and everyone busily began to carry.They all know that this business can make money, so they are more busy than last time.Otherwise, the merchants bring their own people to do things like moving the goods onto the ship, and they are only responsible for moving the goods off the ship.
"How many more times can I do it?" Yuan Guanlin asked.
Song Jingwei and Shen Dongming summed it up, and answered him: "The lotus root can go about four times, but there are still fish and pigs at the end of the year. I don't know how the price of pigs is outside?"
Yuan Guanlin laughed and said, "The lotus root is good, but let's not leave the pig, it stinks too much."
"Is it okay to have friendship?"
"Definitely not." He said, crossing his arms.
"Alright then." Song Jingwei said, "Bon voyage, remember to sell it for a good price."
"You need to say it." Yuan Guanlin said, seeing the last basket of lotus roots on the boat, he took out a handful of silver and handed it to Song Jingwei: "Here, order some."
Song Jingwei really nodded in front of him, nodded and said, "That's right."
Yuan Guanlin pouted, turned around and left.He always heard from his cousin and the old man that this man was good in every way, but he didn't think there was anything good about Song Jingwei at all.Oh, by the way, and their masters.
"This is the money earned from the last batch of goods. This bag is lotus root, and this small bag is fish and shrimp."
Shen Dongming and Shen Junxi looked at the two bags of silver in Song Jingwei's hands silently. It's okay to say that they are all small amounts, which are not particularly exciting.But the package of lotus root is really unexpected.
"Daughter-in-law, you still know how to grow things." Finally, Shen Dongming said with emotion, giving his daughter-in-law a thumbs up.When Song Jingwei went to toss about the lotus pond, although he didn't express his opinion, he was not very optimistic about it.Unexpectedly, today, the profit of lotus root surprised him a lot.
When Shen Junxi heard his father praise his daughter-in-law, he also looked at her and laughed. He had always supported Song Jingwei, and he believed it, knowing that Song Jingwei would not fail.
"You're absurd. It's not that I can grow things, but that Yuan Guanlin can sell things. He found the right market, which is why he can raise the price of lotus roots so high." Song Jingwei said realistically.
"You can't say that. If you hadn't worked hard to find this delicious lotus root, planted so many lotus roots, and found the boat of Yuan Erdang's family, you wouldn't have this result." So let's talk about it , or Song Jingwei's credit.
"It's okay to say that, everything is causal." Song Jing said with a smile, and then said to their father and son: "There is still a long way to go back, let's go back quickly."
"That's right, go back quickly and tell your mothers the good news, as well as Benben." Shen Dongming said happily.
Shen Junxi and Song Jingwei, who were walking behind, looked at each other and smiled from both sides.
The lotus root at home has made money, and the worries in my heart have finally been eliminated.Everyone in the Shen family was in a good mood, so they decided to go back this time and donate five catties of lotus roots dug up to each household of Chang Gong's family, regardless of money, to taste the taste.
Before, because they didn't know the price, and because they were worried about losing money, his family didn't send it out. After all, there are so many long-term workers, and it's worth a few hundred catties in one loose.Now there is no such worry, and it is still possible for the family to send five catties.
In fact, lotus root is heavy, and five catties is not much. Some families import a lot of it, and they can finish it in one meal.There are only four people in some families, and they can eat about two meals.
The long-term workers in the field were very happy when they heard that the host family was going to send lotus roots for everyone to eat.This is something that comes for free, something that doesn't cost money, and who would be unhappy if it is so cheap.
At the end of the night, the mighty long-term workers lined up to receive the lotus root.When I got it, I went home happily, planning to cook a meal that night.
When Song Jingwei sent the lotus root, he also said to them: "This lotus root can be eaten not only fried, but also stewed, braised, stewed, and finally boiled in soup. No matter which way you eat it, They all have unique flavors. If you don’t mind the trouble, you can make several flavors separately to try.”
At present, many people said that they would let their daughter-in-law at home do it immediately when they go back.
Some people really cooked and ate it when they went back that night.As soon as they tasted the taste, they all said it was delicious, and the lotus root on the table was quickly looted and dried up.
"This lotus root is really delicious, no wonder it can make money." Everyone thought so. Before, they thought there was nothing special about this lotus root, but now they don't think so.
After eating five catties, some people were waiting for the day when Song Jingwei would give lotus roots again, while others came to ask Shen Dongming quietly: "How do you sell this lotus root in your family?"
Shen Dongming laughed and said, "The lotus root in my family is very expensive." He heard from Song Jingwei that the real price cannot be revealed.
"How expensive is it? How much does it cost?"
"Ten cents a catty," Shen Dongming said, this price is enough to make the long-term workers here reluctant to spend money to buy it. If it is the real price, they will not buy it, but it will only spread rumors.
"Tsk tsk! So expensive?" Changgong said in his heart: My darling, yesterday's meal cost fifty Wen?That's almost a day's wages.
"Yeah, so it's not that our family doesn't want to give more to everyone. The cost is too high." Shen Dongming said: "Do you know how much we spent when we bought this lotus seed?"
The man shook his head again and again, but it sounded expensive, he was still speechless, his family lost their money unconsciously last night.
"I won't say how much. Anyway, selling lotus roots now is just earning personal wages and hard work." Shen Dongming said so.
"You're joking, there must be more than that." Changgong said so, but he was not so surprised in his heart.It feels normal that Shen Dongming's family doesn't make much money.Because spending money to hire long-term workers is special. Even if the lotus root makes more money, after deducting various costs, there will not be much profit left.
That's good, through the mouth of this long-term worker, everyone knows that Shen Dongming's lotus pond is not losing money, but it doesn't make too much money either.This range is acceptable to everyone, and it is what they guessed at the beginning.This result is the best result, they will not be jealous, and they don't have to worry about their wages being lost.
So hello, hello, hello everyone, the lotus root issue continues to be excavated in full swing, and everyone is very enthusiastic.
Seeing the bag of silver brought back by her daughter-in-law, Yang's reaction was the same as that of Shen Dongming and Shen Junxi, she was speechless for a while, and was stunned.
Asking clearly that this is the profit of lotus root and fish and shrimp, she patted her chest with peace of mind, and then beamed with joy, her face full of joy of harvest.
"However, this still doesn't include the cost." Song Jingwei counted with the tick-tock of the abacus, showed them and said, "After deducting the cost, our profit is about this."
The three of them stared at the abacus. In fact, except for Shen Junxi, the other two didn't quite understand it, but it didn't prevent them from reading it seriously.
"Let's put it this way, a total of three pieces of lotus root were dug up in the last batch, and the output of each piece was about 36 catties, and the total was about 30 catties." About 90 taels of silver were sold, excluding lotus seeds, cow dung, labor for reclamation, labor for planting lotus root, labor for digging lotus root and transportation, the net profit of each lotus pond was [-] taels of silver. The profit is [-] taels of silver."
After talking about lotus root, he then talked about fish and shrimp: "There are not many fish and shrimp in our lotus pond, only about two hundred catties, and three yuan is about six hundred catties. The price of shrimp is a little higher, but the weight Less, excluding the meager cost, the net profit is ten taels of silver. The price of the fish is lower, but the weight is better, and the net profit is 20 taels of silver.
Although the profit from fish and shrimp is not as impressive as that from lotus root, it is quite good for the village's expenses.
Shen Dongming and Yang's Qiqi said in a daze, "I never expected to make so much money." They both felt like they were dreaming.
"I just stock fish and shrimp by the way. If I only raise fish and shrimp, I will definitely lose money." When he excluded the cost, he only included the money for fry.Everything other than labor is counted on the lotus root.
"In this way, our family has a total of 18 yuan lotus ponds, can we earn 450 taels of silver?"
Song Jingwei nodded and said, "Actually, that's right."
The father and son of the eldest son of the Shen family glanced at each other, then swallowed and said, "My dear, it only took half a year to earn 450 taels of silver."
Of course, this is a lot for them, but for Song Jingwei, the silver is just a subsidy before the tea is not put into production.Because the cost of getting this land is too much, if there is no income, it will appear that the income is beyond the means, and I am afraid that even the wages of the workers are not enough.
The wages for these batches of lotus roots, together with the money for fish and shrimp, can barely support the expenditure of the tea garden before it is put into production.But this is already very good. In Song Jingwei's prediction, he didn't expect the lotus root to make money.
He said: "Our tea garden has invested too much, and the money earned from these lotus roots is just to subsidize the labor and investment of the tea garden." Seeing their astonished expressions, he continued: "But don't be discouraged, wait for the tea garden. After it is put into production, the money earned here is pure profit. And the production of lotus root will also increase, and next year it will be more than this little.
In the first year of this year, they didn't dare to plant too densely. By next year, the output of one piece is estimated to reach [-] jin.
"That's true." Shen Dongming knew more about the things in the lotus pond. He nodded in agreement when he heard the words: "It's pretty good to make money from the lotus pond to subsidize the tea garden. Think about it, their The salary is also a lot of money.”
"That's right." Song Jingwei nodded. The long-term labor price set at the beginning was a bit high, but that's all, if you don't want to spend money, you can't make money.What's more, when he thought about the personnel arrangement after the road was repaired, he later signed contracts with temporary workers, who were paid on a daily basis.After the road was repaired, only the people who rented the land stayed in the tea garden to work.
It will be better when the tea garden is put into production. After all, tea is the high-end consumable here.The price is incomparable with that of lotus root.
Now that the main road here has been repaired, some people see business opportunities and start to start their own small businesses.Even if it's not booming at first, persistence will always pay off.
"It's okay, don't we still have ten pigs in our family? Selling the pigs before the Chinese New Year is also an income." Shen Dongming said with a smile, not wanting to put too much pressure on his daughter-in-law.
"Well, the work in the field is all thanks to you. It's really hard work." Song Jingwei said to him, and then said to Yang Shi: "You worked hard too, thanks to your care."
His solemn thanks made the Shen family feel uncomfortable and said, "We are all one family, what are you talking about? Isn't this what it should be?"
When they work in the field, it is like doing the work at home. There is no hard work, it is all for the better and better of this family, no matter what
