Farmer one or two things

The success of the lotus root folder greatly boosted Song Tiancai's confidence, and he fried the lotus root balls while it was hot.Finally, glutinous rice lotus was stewed. This time, Chen Dashi gave a small jar of wild honey. Song Tiancai found it and poured a lot of it into the glutinous rice lotus.

Finally, Song Tiancai belatedly asked Lin Xiaoman where he bought the lotus root.After all, at this time, all the food stalls in the town are closed, so who will sell this?

Lin Xiaoman said with a smile: "Our family planted this. Earlier, there was a muddy field at the foot of the mountain. I put some lotus root in it, and a lot of lotus root grew. I haven't dug it. I will sell it at the end of the year." I went out and kept some at home. I wanted to send them over earlier, but we went to the town to sell lotus root and came back to 28, so I brought some here for you during the Chinese New Year."

Song Tiancai narrowed his eyes when he heard that, and asked, "Is that muddy land yours? How about the yield of lotus root?"

Lin Xiaoman shook his head and said: "No, that big piece of land has more than ten mu of land. Even if the mud land is worthless, I would have to spend 30 taels of silver to buy it. The mud land can't grow food because it is unowned. Yes, it's close to my home, which allowed me to plant lotus root for a season, and only a few acres. But next year, I'm afraid someone will follow suit, and I won't be able to earn money." The tone was full of regret.

Song Tiancai immediately turned around in his mind and said, "Brother Xiaoman, do you think this is okay? I will buy the land with money, and then we will find someone to dig deeper and then bring in water to grow lotus root and raise fish. In this way, let's go You can sell lotus pods and lotus root belts in half a year, and lotus root and fish in the second half of the year. If you do well, you can earn money all year round. As you can see, most of my thoughts are spent on tea stalls. To raise fish with lotus root, you have to rely on Brother Xiaoman and Brother Dashi. If you are willing, we will split half of the income from this kind of lotus root. What do you think?"

Lin Xiaoman's face was full of joy when he heard that, he had tasted the sweetness of planting lotus root this year, and sold it for six taels of silver.If it wasn't for the lack of money in his hand, he would have bought that mud field to grow lotus root himself.However, he was also worried about whether the lotus root could grow so well every year. After all, he and Chen Dashi had a poor family background, so they couldn't help but make troubles, so they gave up the idea of ​​planting lotus root.

Now hearing what Song Tiancai said, Lin Xiaoman immediately wanted to agree.Chen Dashi is skilled in hunting, but running in deep mountains and old forests is dangerous.Every time Chen Dashi wanted to go into the mountains, he couldn't sleep all night, he was terribly worried.His grandfather was injured while hunting, and his body hurt everywhere in his later years.

Lin Xiaoman didn't want Chen Dashi to earn this dangerous money at all, but they had no other income, so they had to support it first.Originally, the family already had five acres of land, and he could earn some money by helping the Song family, so he thought that Chen Dashi would not be allowed to go hunting again.Well now, Song Tiancai wanted to hire a car and Chen Dashi planted lotus root. How could he not agree to such a good thing.If done well, Chen Dashi can earn more than hunting.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoman agreed to Song Tiancai, and immediately called Chen Dashi in to talk to Song Tiancai.

When Chen Dashi knew that Song Tiancai wanted to hire him to grow lotus root and raise fish, his heart moved.It's not that he doesn't understand Lin Xiaoman's worries, but besides hunting and farming, he has no other skills.Now hearing what Song Tiancai said, it doesn't cost money, but only needs to work hard, Chen Dashi is very happy to agree.

However, they did not agree to the five-to-five points proposal, but agreed on three to seven points.Song Tiancai also understood the temperament of Chen Dashi and Lin Xiaoman, so he didn't force it.Instead, Chen Dashi was given a basic salary of ten Wen a day and three hundred Wen a month.

After discussing various things about planting lotus root and raising fish, Song Tiancai went back to the house and took 40 taels of silver and gave it to Chen Dashi, asking him to take full responsibility from buying land to buying lotus root seedlings and fish fry, and he would not interfere.Being so trusted by Song Tiancai, Chen Dashi felt even more grateful. He understood that it was Song Tiancai who was supporting them.Otherwise, if you want to find someone, there will be people everywhere rushing to do it.At the same time, Xin Dao must do it properly, and not let down the trust and respect of the little boss of the Song family.

For lunch at noon, Chen Guizhi prepared a table full of vegetables.After dinner, when Lin Xiaoman and the others were about to go home, ask Lin Xiaoman to help deliver some things to Mrs. Gao.He also forcefully gave Lin Xiaoman and the others a piece of cloth and some food before letting them go.

Most of the lotus roots at home were cooked, and there were some left over. Chen Guizhi thought about bringing some to Song Dahai's family.Song Dashan got drunk and fell asleep on the bed.Song Tiancai and Song Xiaobao hid in the kitchen and ate glutinous rice and lotus root. Because glutinous rice is not easy to digest, Chen Guizhi didn't let Song Xiaobao eat more.

But Song Xiaobao is a smart one, pestering Song Tiancai to act coquettishly, the father and son seem to be thieves, so they go to the kitchen to get glutinous rice and lotus root while Chen Guizhi is not at home.Because the glutinous rice lotus root is filled with honey, it is sweet and glutinous, so Song Xiaobao can't put it down.After haggling with Song Tiancai for a while, Song Xiaobao fought for the treatment of eating two more slices.

Maybe because he knew that it would be gone after eating, Song Xiaobao ate two pieces of glutinous rice lotus root very slowly and chewed it several times before he was willing to swallow it down.Looking at it, Song Tiancai felt relieved. It wouldn't be a big problem if he ate so slowly and only added two small slices.

After Chen Guizhi came back from Wan's, Song Xiaobao had already wiped out the glutinous rice lotus root, because only one lotus root was missing, Chen Guizhi turned a blind eye to it.She knew that there must be someone in the family who couldn't handle her grandson's acting like a baby and secretly gave him some, so she left some stomach for him at noon.So, it doesn't matter if you eat some more.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, Song Tiancai went to pay New Year's greetings to Song Dahai's family with his things.

Wan Shi and Chen Guizhi have passed their anger a long time ago. Tomorrow Song Tianjin will go to Song Dashan's uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.Song Tiancai brought a lot of things there, and Wan Shi gave Song Xiaobao a big red envelope, which contained two hundred Wen.Song Tiancai remembered that the Wan family was not so generous before, and it would be considered good to give at most [-] Wen.

This year's price rose so much at once, Song Tiancai immediately thought: If there is nothing to do, it is either rape or robbery.Although these words were inappropriate metaphors, Song Tiancai's premonition was correct.After a while, Wan Shi said that he wanted Song Xiaobao to be Song Tianjin's bed press boy.

By the way, Song Tiancai and Song Tianjin were also asked to pick up the bride together.Hu Xiaoyu is a girl from the town, and Wan Shi is afraid that this girl will be arrogant, so she wants to show face to her son.That's why Song Tiancai, a scholar, was invited to support the scene, which meant that the Hu family was from the town, but their Song family was also considered a scholarly family. There was a cousin who was a scholar, and the family status was not low.

Song Tiancai naturally agreed to such a small effort.Not to mention that he is Song Tianjin's cousin, Song Tianjin's face is also the face of the Song family, that is, Song Tianjin treats his parents with great respect.Song Tiancai would not refuse to help him face back. Marriage is such a major life event, and naturally it should be treated solemnly.The Wan family can come to invite him, and they think highly of him.

When I went back at night, I followed Song Dashan and Chen Guizhi.Chen Guizhi immediately felt complacent, and then started preparing to make another decent coat for Song Tiancai. He must make Song Tiancai look extraordinary when he greets his relatives, and let everyone see the elegant demeanor of Mr. Xiucai.

Of course, Song Tiancai still doesn't know that his mother is going to dress him up as a flower peacock and take him out for a stroll, but now he is discussing with Zhao Yanxiu, planning to go to Quanzhou after Song Tianjin gets married and arranges family affairs.Although he was only in the third year of junior high school, after the incident with Song Jinbao and his uncle's family, Song Tiancai tightened his pace of earning money and moving to Quanzhou.

His parents are soft-tempered buns, they are too soft-tempered, and those are their so-called close relatives.Song Tiancai himself could be ruthless and ignore him, but he couldn't guarantee whether his parents would soften their hearts when that time came, and it would be another mess.And Song Jinbao and Feng Jinhua looked like that, they were simply brown candies, wishing they could keep an eye on the Song family all the time, waiting for an opportunity to bite off a piece of the Song family's flesh.

Under such circumstances, Song Tiancai felt a little aggrieved and could only find ways to make money.He can't afford to mess with him and can afford to hide. When he settles down in Quanzhou, if this group of people behaves well, he will bring his parents back to have a look.If they still remain stubborn like this, then they can live their own lives in Quanzhou, and no one can trouble them.

Therefore, making money is very urgent for Song Tiancai.At this time, the extremely leisurely Zhao Yanxiu was envied and hated by Song Tiancai.Sure enough, the rich second generation is always hated by others, and there is nothing more difficult than a rich second generation who is fighting to die and has a leisurely life next to him.

It wasn't just that they went to Quanzhou. Song Tiancai and Zhao Yanxiu studied for a long time and decided to go with a familiar merchant.Fortunately, I have met many merchants in the tea shop, and I have a general understanding, so I am not clueless about this.It was after arriving in Quanzhou that what he relied on to make money became a troublesome place for Song Tiancai.

Before Song Tiancai could figure out how to make money, Liu Kunwu came to Song Tiancai's door again.

He also brought his elder brother Liu Kunwen over this time, and the three met for a while, and finally, Liu Kunwu said: "Tiancai, my elder brother used to work in the ice cellar. Although we opened a grocery store, But there is nothing that can be sold. When we go back, our two brothers plan to open a small ice cellar, and store some ice in the cold weather. In the dog days, it will definitely make a lot of money selling it in the town."

Song Tiancai nodded after listening, although now there is a way to make ice with saltpeter.However, saltpeter to make ice not only requires a large amount of saltpeter, but also cannot be eaten directly.In this case, if you want to use ice in summer, you must save ice cubes in winter and use them in summer.In Daqin, the ice cellar business is not only done by the government, but also some merchants are allowed to build some small ice cellars, which can be used for their own use or sold to outsiders.

Doing ice cellar business can be said to be a huge profit, and it will definitely make money. It's a pity that he doesn't understand, otherwise he would definitely do it himself.But now Brother Liu Kunwu came to him to talk about this matter, fearing that he had something to ask him.Nothing more than two points, borrowing money or cooperation.

Therefore, Song Tiancai said: "This is a good thing. As long as the ice cellar is filled with ice until the summer, we won't have to worry about selling it. However, I don't know why my brother-in-law came to my place?"

Liu Kunwu smiled wryly and said: "Although my elder brother and I have two silver coins, they are all used in the grocery store. If we open an ice cellar, it will be difficult for a while. Therefore, we took the liberty to come to you Tiancai this year. I hope you can join the team and work with us. My eldest brother and I find someone to make an ice cellar, and take less capital. You pay the capital and don’t care about anything else. The share will be four for you and six for me and elder brother. I don’t know what you mean?"

Song Tiancai is very optimistic about making an ice cellar, but he also knows that he has invested a lot in this thing before, and he is afraid that after spending so much money, his plan to go to Quanzhou will change.For a while, he couldn't make up his mind, looked back at Zhao Yanxiu nodding towards him, and suddenly remembered that there was a rich man by his side, how could he forget.He just doesn't do it himself, so he can let Zhao Yanxiu do it.

If the fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders, even if Zhao Yanxiu has money in his hands, it is not a problem to sit and eat.How much money can be used, and multiple investments are also a share of income.

Therefore, Song Tiancai said to Liu Kunwu: "Brother-in-law, please tell me how much money this will cost, and how much I will pay. I will have a count and see if I can eat it. If I can bear it, I will naturally cooperate. Even with my brother-in-law's character, I can't lose to my brother-in-law, right?"

These words made Liu Kunwu and Liu Kunwen laugh. Liu Kunwen stretched out four fingers and said, "I discussed with my eldest brother, at least 400 taels. Our two families can give 100 taels, and you have to pay 300 taels for Tiancai. However, as long as the ice is stored, the capital can be recovered in one year, and it will be a pure profit in the second year."

Liu Kunwu also had no choice. He and his eldest brother couldn't afford to invest so much money in the early stage.I had dinner at Song's house before, and I got to know Song Tiancai well, and there was a son of Juren living in Song's house.Going back and thinking about it, this ice cellar business may not be possible.He quickly discussed with his elder brother and came to find Song Tiancai.

Because Song Tiancai was required to get a lot of money, they only offered 300 to [-] cents.This is purely giving money to Song Tiancai, and at most one year, he will be able to make money.They paid a high share because they knew that for the Song family and them, [-] taels was really not a small amount, and only by giving enough benefits could they impress Song Tiancai.

Song Tiancai thought for a while and said, "Brother-in-law, please wait a moment, I'll go to someone to discuss it. If it's possible, I'll go and collect the money. If not, then we can cooperate next time."

Liu Kunwu nodded and sat down in the main hall of the Song family.

The person Song Tiancai was looking for was none other than Zhao Yanxiu.He planned to borrow some money from Zhao Yanxiu, and then get Zhao Yanxiu to buy a share, so that he can make money together. This is Song Tiancai's style.
