Yipin Farmer

Miss Yumei came over and chatted for a while and left. Baoqi reminded Ting Shuang: "Don't you want to open a drugstore? There are so many things to do, how can you have time to chat with the girl. It's not that a man just suffers from a failure in his career. Do you have no wife?"

"It doesn't affect anything to chat with people, don't worry, I will focus on starting a business."

"That's right, now is the time when your career is booming, don't think about anything else." Baoqi asked again: "What are you going to do next?"

"Open the fruit shop and pastry shop first."

Ting Shuang had already planned to open a fruit shop to sell fruit by-products such as dried fruit and candied fruit, as well as pastries, trying to get some Western-style pastries.If he makes Chinese-style dim sum, he is not sure that he can compete with those old brand dim sum shops. If he makes Western-style dim sum, customers may still try to find a new way to survive. If there is a lack of raw materials, he can use Chinese-style raw materials instead It is easy for people who are used to the taste of Chinese pastries to accept.

The shop has been chosen long ago. It is just across the street from the Feng family's old house behind the restaurant. Just knock on the door of the inverted house facing the street. There is a shop on either side of the door. The front hall and wing rooms inside can be used as warehouses and back rooms. kitchen.

In this era, except for pawn shops and silk shops, other industries do not need to apply for licenses from the government, it is very simple.

With pavement, everything is easy to handle, and other things don't need too much capital.

As for the staff, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou both work in the city, so it's not a problem to just leave their daughter at home. It's better to let Dayingzi go to look after the shop, and earn back the dowry money in less than a year, and it's also close to Tinghui.It's not enough to leave Xiaoyingzi alone at home, so let her go too.Just find a capable person in the village.

These two are just to find a market for the people who grow fruit trees in the village, and whether they make money or not is secondary.Ting Shuang has another plan, which is to help Ting Ke run a business. What about funds? Opening a restaurant costs almost all the money, so he can borrow money from the bank. Now that he is a man of wealth and reputation, he can directly borrow money without a shop guarantee. up.

"I want my third son to run the cosmetics business. Last time, didn't you say that the Pearl Jade Beauty Cream he made was very good? The Sun Fairy Girl Cream he made when he celebrated his mother's birthday the year before last was also very good."

Bao Qi didn't expect him to accept the original proposal to open a makeup shop, and she understood after a little thought.

"What you said is that there is less than a year left in the filial piety period, and the marriage of the third child is about to be done. A big man lives in Yue's family. Without his own property, it is inevitable to be looked down upon. With his own shop, who would dare Besides, he is attached to women."

Ting Shuang looked at him with a smile, unexpectedly he realized his intention all at once.This feeling of tacit understanding has rarely been experienced by others.

That night, Ting Shuang made some cakes. Baoqi didn't know how to work, so she passed things by hand, and asked Li Guang and his wife from the village to help. His family has a large population, and there are several brothers. To find a job in the city, Ting Shuang planned to ask them for help. Several people researched several kinds of preserved fruits and snacks.

The next day, Ting Shuang sent Ting Hui into the city, and told him along the way: "Don't worry about taking small losses when dealing with people. People who are too smart are not likable, and they are not willing to cooperate. You have to keep your eyes open. Do you remember that when you deal with people? We picked up the historian’s money and returned it. Some people said I was stupid. Wouldn’t it be stupid not to have money in such a predicament? But we got a good reputation, which cannot be bought with money, and we got it The human resource of the historian...cough...is the network. Network is something you can't see, but it is more useful than money, and it can't be bought with money.

At the beginning, we didn't take other people's money by mistake. Who would have thought that there would be rewards now. "

Ting Hui nodded in conviction, and if he doesn't do deceitful things, there will be great rewards in the end. Thinking of how he was cheated, kidnapped and beaten in a brothel last year, he really wondered if he was kicked out of his head by a donkey. on the way.

Ting Hui's mind is flexible, as long as he puts his mind on the right way, he has many ideas. He picked the best fruit to match with cattail bags, and stamped the stamp of his own shop on it.There is also a mark on the package of the pastry, and I brought those prominent people in the boxing ceremony to visit, and told them that this is the fruit and snacks of my own shop, which will open in the near future, please come and join me when the time comes, he looks good and sweet, and he claims to be Shi Jie's juniors, relatives and old friends of the historians also liked it very much, and the other unfriended people were embarrassed to drive the gift giver out and sent him away by saying "excuse me", and the name of the shop was also written down.

Ting Shuang saw that he was quick on the road with a quick mind, and he was more at ease. As long as this kid put his mind on the right track, he would still be promising. Then he would hand over all the restaurant's accounts and warehouses to him, and bring his hired workers back to the village to work. With the autumn harvest.

Everywhere in the field is cheerful and busy. The sorghum is red and the millet is yellow. This is a harvest season.The newly built water conservancy was not used back then, but next year they will be able to enjoy the benefits brought by the project. The faces of the farmers are full of smiles, and the wrinkles on the faces of the old farmers are full of light, full of hope for the future.

The rice fields of the Meng family were golden beyond sight, and the heavy ears of rice bowed their heads modestly. Looking at these, Ting Shuang did not think of the profoundness of the full rice ears hanging their heads and the empty weeds raising their heads high in the elementary school textbooks. The truth is, these things are just bowls of delicious rice and strings of money in the eyes of someone who is bent on making money.

Xiaoye and Ping An led the hired laborers to cut and bundle the rice, wielding a sickle with one hand and picking up the rice with the other. The sound of rice cutting in the field was like a string of happy notes.The stubble in the field is relatively high, and it will be turned into the soil and returned to the field in the future. After it rots, it can be used as fertilizer. Anyway, it depends on the mountain to eat the mountain, so there is no need to use it as firewood.

Little Xiong Huanhuan grows fast and has great strength. He holds bundles of rice and puts them on the bullock cart.

The pampered Xiaolan didn't know how to do anything at first, but she saw that children as old as her in the village were also learning to do some work within their capabilities. She had no playmates, and it was difficult for her to hang out alone, so she also learned to do other things. The child carried a basket and followed the adult to pick up the missing ears of rice, and he hadn't forgotten to wear a straw hat so as not to tan his pretty face.

Because of the drought this year, Tingshuang adjusted his strategy and planted some drought-tolerant sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as peanuts and soybeans. Chen Guang dug sweet potatoes and cut beans in the dry land, and the little monkey Kong Kong also followed suit, waiting for others to turn up the sweet potatoes in front. Come on, it hobbled and picked up the sweet potatoes and threw them into the basket.

Mrs. Liu’s stupid son is stupid and strong, and he likes to do jobs that require only strength and no skill. He carries the heavy sweet potato basket on his shoulders and carries them home. , and others keep leaking vermicelli for restaurants.During the slack season, they have already dug a lot of cellars, which are very suitable for storing food.

After digging the sweet potato field, Sha'er led the donkey, and Chen Guang supported the plow, breaking the ridge, revealing the potatoes one by one, and the little monkey picked them out and threw them into the pile of potatoes.This should also be divided into grades, the good ones are eaten at home, and the general ones are leaked powder.

Aunt Liu, the new widow, is in charge of cooking and delivering food to the fields, as well as feeding chickens, ducks and pigs. Jiang Liu herds sheep and cuts grass every day, and everyone is very busy.Ting Shuang and Baoqi played field at home, and hired a rice miller to spread the rice on the yard. With great strength, Baoqi pulled the roller and kept grinding on the rice, and soon the rice was separated from the straw.Straw can be chopped and retting into fertilizer.

Because selling rice directly last year was very bad, so this year Tingshuang decided to grind the rice herself to sell.

First spread out the separated rice to dry in the courtyard, Xixi and Chengcheng guarded the rice faithfully and drove away the chickens and ducks that stole the food.When it is drying, someone has to use a wooden lift to turn the valley below up to dry.

After drying, you have to choose. Some rice has rice in it, some has no rice, and some are not full. You have to pick out the empty rice. You have to use a broom on the rice drying field to sweep the shriveled rice to the top. The good grain is left below, and the grain without rice can be rolled into bran and fed to pigs.Picking valleys is a technical job, only Xiaoye can do it.

The selected grains need to be carefully selected, and the grains are poured into a simple wooden windmill. The immature shriveled grains are blown away lightly, the semi-ripe grains fall from the middle, and the full grains fall from the front of the windmill, and the wind blades are turned manually , this work is also quite hard.

The grains that have been selected through three levels are transported to the mill, and then put into the rice mill to make rice. Of course, the ancient rice mill cannot be as convenient as the modern one. You only need to press a button to get rice and bran.Manpower or water power and animal power are used to drive the poles to grind the rice. A big bucket on the top feeds the rice, and a blower device on the bottom. When the rolled millet falls, the chaff is blown off. The rice miller is very hard, and his head and body are white. The bran of flowers.Then hold the wooden frame sieve to the next sieve.

Seeing the white rice milled out, Ting Shuang seemed to see the white silver, her eyes narrowed for joy, and she sighed that it was not easy to eat.

He likes to smell the rice bran, and he likes to watch the mule urinate first after putting on the harness, and then watch it keep pulling the mill.

After harvesting the rice, it was time to prepare the land for planting the next crop. Ping An led the hired labor to drive the ox and the donkey to pull the plow to prepare the land. Xiao Ye and the master processed the rice. Seeing that the work in the field was almost done, Ting Shuang ran back to the city to get busy. As for the fruit shop and pastry shop, the two shops opened at the same time, and many acquaintances came to support them. The shops are filled with fruits from their own fruit trees, as well as wild fruits from the mountains. Of course, the season's sugar-fried chestnuts are indispensable.Li Guang stir-fried chestnuts at the door, and the aroma spread throughout the street. According to Tingshuang's business principles, don't worry about taking small losses. Li Guang didn't beat or scold those hairy children who were drooling around the big chestnut frying pot and took the opportunity to steal a few. He also gave them the rest of the sale.

The fruit shop is managed by Li Guang's daughter-in-law. She likes to eat sweets the most, and likes to tinker with preserved fruits. Ting Shuang has set rewards, and there will be bonuses for developing new varieties. If the new varieties sell well, they will get a share.She was so stimulated that she would come up with new tricks after closing every day. Of course, it doesn’t matter if she only develops new flavors if they don’t taste good.Aunt Zhou was the manager of the pastry shop, and Dayingzi went to the restaurant to help out. Ting Shuang was well aware of such a change.Dayingzi's cooking skills are also good, and he can get along with Ting Hui more and supervise him nearby to prevent him from associating with dubious people again.

In fact, Ting Hui has done a very good job. People who have suffered and suffered losses can’t justify being ignorant. Facts have proved that as long as one’s ingenuity is guided to the right path and encouraged and guided, one’s potential can be brought into full play.

Because Ting Shuang disliked asking girls to accompany drinks, Ting Hui came up with a new way to attract customers, that is, to give out gifts. The guests order four dishes and one soup, and the restaurant offers one or two or three or four dishes, such as fried rice cakes and fried Lantern Festival. , Stir-fried wolfberry sprouts, mixed wild vegetables, steamed vegetables and so on.There are many kinds of steamed vegetables, such as steamed potato shreds, radish shreds, celery leaves, etc. In spring, you can steam Sophora japonica, Artemisia dandelion, etc., all of which are not expensive farm dishes. A little uneasy and attracted many repeat customers.

There are also rich people who are tired of eating their intestines and are interested in farm food. In the countryside, they can eat anything when they are green and yellow. This has inspired the creativity of many skillful women, who can make food that humans and animals eat together to taste good.This big yingzi is very good at making it, and it can be cooked for several days without repeating it, and there are various sauces poured on it.

After finishing opening the shop, Ting Shuang bought a new farm tool and went back to the village. She handed over the management of the shop to the shopkeeper, who is called the manager in modern terms.The separation of management rights and ownership is the way to normalize the development of the enterprise. Although it is only a restaurant and a small shop, Ting Shuang still intends to use the business philosophy of the enterprise to manage it. As Baoqi said, he should not and cannot do anything. Everything is handled by myself.

When I got home, I saw several ropes stretched in the yard, hanging strings of beans, eggplants and so on. The whole eggplants cannot be fully dried, so I made a flower knife and stretched two feet long to the ropes and hung them.Dried potatoes and sweet potatoes are drying on the curtain. These things should be dried and eaten in winter and spring when they are green and yellow. The taste is not as good as fresh vegetables, but after Ting Shuang’s hands, they are very delicious. The secret is simple, that is, put more oil and more Put meat, oily and fragrant.When the stewed chicken is cooked in braised pork, it tastes strong and absorbs enough oil, and the meat flavor is all in it. He likes to eat this most.

The whole field should be sown. In order to improve efficiency, Ting Shuang bought a planter. Sowing is a skillful job. The planting must be neat, no more, no less, no deep or shallow, and no one who is used to farm work. Still can't do it, so someone invented the seeder in ancient times, just use some gourds.In the Han Dynasty, someone invented something more awesome like a seeder, that is, a columbine cart, like a cart, with seeds on the body, and three feet below, but these three feet are hollow, and the pointed feet can be used for ditching. Make a furrow and spread the seeds through three feet into the soil on one side while covering.Driving the cows and pulling the columbine cart for a trip, even the ditching and seeding belt covering are completed at one time, and the row spacing is equal to the depth, saving time, effort and high efficiency.

Last year, when Ting Shuang saw this ancient planter, her eyes almost dropped. This is the ancestor of the modern planter, but it does not use electricity, it has to be pulled by people or livestock.At that time, I wished I could move it back home and use it, but unfortunately I had no money. Now that I had money, I immediately bought one and went back to the village.

In the middle of his work, Qi Chongyu, the county magistrate, suddenly sent someone to find him something. Ting Shuang didn't know what was going on, so he quickly changed into the clothes he was going out, and entered the county office. The counties are urging the payment of taxes and grains, the sooner the better.However, the autumn harvest has just begun, and it will take at least ten days to harvest all the grain, but the province is in a hurry and requires that the shipment be shipped immediately in just a few days.Qi Chongyu was anxious after receiving the order, and asked Ting Shuang to find a way.

Ting Shuang immediately became vigilant. In such a hurry to urge food, is it going to start a war?
