Seed dealers in ancient times

In the afternoon, the sun was hot, and the food was collected and moved under a big locust tree. After working all morning, it was considered that the food was settled.

Zheng Jiang returned all the receipts that he had been twiddled one by one. Originally, there should have been some other reasons in his plan that did not pay for the food. At that time, he would let Huang Jingyi act like a good man, and he didn't think about the food. It was all paid back.

He did the math, and in addition to recovering all the more than 1000 catties of grain he borrowed, he also earned more than [-] catties of grain. The loan and the profit amounted to [-] catties of grain. Silver, but for the sake of compound interest, he has to continue to borrow grain.

The villagers helped to load the grain into the ox carts. Zheng Jiangting had the foresight to call for eight ox carts to carry the grain away at one time, which was quite prestigious.

Before Zheng Jiang stopped, he summoned three villagers to do the math for him, and he was not greedy for cheap.

The two middle-aged men happily accepted the money, but Xiao Tongsheng refused to accept it.

Cai Lin smiled and said, "Master Zheng will accept it for you."

Only then did Xiao Tongsheng thank Zheng Jiang and take the money.

"This child has a good mind. When he was a child, he listened to books for a few days in a small private school in the village. Unfortunately, his family was too poor to afford to study, but he loves and loves to read. Whenever he has money, he will buy some books. This year I went to take the scientific examination, and even passed the examination as a child student."

Cai Lin's eyes were full of surprise, and Zheng Jiangting couldn't help but look at Xiao Tongsheng twice more.

"You are indeed a prodigy in reading. I think you have a good plan. I happen to be short of a husband. If you want to, you can come to work with me."

Xiao Tongsheng was stunned when he heard the words, Cai Lin pushed his shoulder: "Why are you so dumb, thank you, Master Zheng."

Xiao Tongsheng raised his head and took a quick look at Zheng Jiang, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Master Zheng, for your appreciation."

After a delay here, Zheng Jiang stopped to say hello to everyone and jumped out of the carriage. The villagers gathered around: "Master Zheng, talk to Manager Huang, see if you can borrow food next year?"

"Yeah yeah!"

Zheng Jiang stopped in the sedan chair and exchanged glances with Huang Jingyi. Huang Jingyi poked his head out from the curtain with a sense of humor: "Borrow, everyone is honest and down-to-earth, the master will definitely want to borrow it."

The villagers felt very at ease when they received such a reply, and after saying a lot of words of thanks, they followed the carriage all the way to the village entrance and walked a long way.

"Hey, why is your village so lively today!"

The villagers of Muyun Village next door drove their ox carts to the city to pay back their grain. Seeing that Yangmu Village had gathered a group of people, the countryside was secluded, and the villagers liked to join in if there was something lively.

"Lao You sent food back to the landlord?"

"Yes." The villager surnamed You patted the grain on the ox cart.

"Which family did you borrow this year, the Han family or the Qiu family?"

The villagers said: "It belongs to Mr. Han's family. If I go to pay it back today, it will be easy this year. As for your village, which one did you borrow this year? I'm afraid it will not be easy to borrow."

There was a bit of complacency in the tone. Yangmu Village had the most people who failed to borrow food in a year. The landowners who came and went did not like to lend food to the villagers of Yangmu Village. Those who borrowed food at the beginning of the year At that time, the villagers of several villages went to the landlord's house to borrow food, but the villagers of Yangmu Village were severely scolded.

Unexpectedly, the villagers of Yangmu Village said: "You still send it back yourself? The landlord who borrowed grain from our village came to fetch the grain himself."

You surname stretched his neck and looked forward. Although he didn't see Zheng Jiang's parked convoy, the villagers didn't look like nonsense in this posture. He then jokingly said: "I'm afraid the landlord may not be able to supply the food. Come and watch for yourself."

Everyone in Yangmu Village is not very happy, but I have to say that it was indeed the case in previous years, but now it is different from the past, and they can finally speak up straight: "Our village has returned all the food borrowed this year. !"

The villager surnamed You was skeptical. Yangmu Village has a large number of people, so he dared not raise his neck and talk to others: "This year's weather is really good. Everyone can pay back the grain and eat. Don't delay. gone!"

Zheng Jiangting and Huang Jingyi, who had driven a long distance in the carriage, were still talking about the new horses they bought.

"It's much easier to borrow grain. It's really troublesome to calculate the grain collection. This year is the first year. I'm familiar with the scenes. I'll have a good memory next year. I have to calculate the grain that each household should return in advance. I just started borrowing grain. The villagers are still honest, so it is inevitable that they will play some tricks after a long time, and next time they go back, they need to bring some people who can settle accounts."

Huang Jingyi agreed with Zheng Jiangting's words: "Master is far-sighted."

"By the way, you will live in the house in the future, so you will inevitably meet Cai Lin. When you go back, try to tidy yourself up. When the time comes, you will say that he is my new servant, and you should avoid meeting him."

"Yes."

Zheng Jiang stopped transporting grain and went straight to the new house. Although the businesses in the folk alleys in the north of the city are not small, the transportation of grain in and out has attracted the attention of some people. They raised their eyes and looked at people. It's strange, after all, they are all businessmen, and they are used to chatting.

"Hey, did you collect so much food?"

Zheng Jiang raised his eyes and glanced at the speaker. He was a man in his forties with a big belly. He looked like an old man at first glance: "Go directly to the village to collect it, save the toll, and the villagers are more willing to sell it."

After finishing speaking, there was a sound of rubbing, and a sack of grain was hung up by the bullock cart, and some grains were scattered out, causing Huang Jingyi to reprimand: "Everyone be careful in doing things, don't waste good grain!"

The master who came to chat followed the sound, squatted on the ground, picked up some millet, and praised: "The quality of this grain is really good, and the grains are too big. It's not cheap!"

Zheng Jiangting kept his eyes open and said nonsense: "To tell you the truth, the price is really not cheap, fifteen cents per liter."

"It's the highest market price right now, but it's worth the price!" The man lowered his voice as he spoke, "May I ask which village you bought the good stuff from?"

"Oh, I have traveled to several villages here, but I didn't remember which village harvested them one by one. The crops are growing well this year, and every village is similar."

The man smiled and didn't continue to ask. It's not that he hasn't harvested the grain, so he doesn't know if it's good or bad. I don't want to say, he is like a bright mirror in his heart, and he is a good businessman. Naturally, he would not tell the truth if he casually chatted with others here.

So the man talked about other things, trivial greetings, nothing more than the little brother is a good-looking talent, why haven't I seen it here before, oh~ I just moved here not long ago, I will have to come and go frequently in the future, where do I live and so on~

The man left after all the food was moved into the house, and Zheng Jiangting didn't invite anyone in to drink tea. No one lives here now, not to mention tea, even cold boiled water.

After finishing the money with Master Che, Zheng Jiang stopped back to the house and sat down on a chair. After a day in the sun, he was really tired.

Huang Jingyi changed out of her outfit early on, and waited for Zheng Jiangding's dispatch tactfully.

Zheng Jiang paused for a while and introduced the house to Huang Jingyi: "In the next few days, you will be here to organize and get familiar with it. It should be tomorrow that Carpenter Ma will finally deliver a batch of furniture. When the time comes, you will pick it up. I will leave the housework to you for the time being, those who are capable will work harder, and after doing well, I will hand over the housework to you, if you are not familiar with it, then do some chores."

Huang Jingyi is also half-human, and he understood what Zheng Jiang was saying. After he did a good job, he would be a housekeeper. Of course, he knew in his heart that it was the best way out for people like them who sold themselves into slavery to be housekeepers.

He hastened to assure Zheng Jiang: "This old slave will definitely do his best to handle the things that the master told him to do well."

"This is the best way. In short, you manage this side, and buy everything that is missing. When the time comes, come to me to pay the bill. I will bring the master husband over in a few days."

Huang Jingyi didn't know that Zheng Jiangting was married.

Zheng Jiangting was afraid that someone might say the wrong thing, so he kindly said: "I'm not married yet, I'll be the husband in the future."

Huang Jingyi immediately understood that he wanted to bring his fiancé over to look at the house, so he had to tidy it up: "Master is a good-looking person and has a great family and business. The husband will definitely be satisfied."

Zheng Jiang gave him a sideways glance: "Come on, I've heard enough polite words, and you and I, master and servant, are the only ones talking about this with the door closed, and we're not afraid of being laughed at."

Huang Jingyi's face was not flushed and his heart was not beating: "This old slave is telling the truth."

Zheng Jiang let out a long breath, too lazy to entangle in these irrelevant words, and confessed a few more business matters, and then he patted his butt and left without much delay.

After the food was taken back, Zheng Jiang stopped thinking about a major event, but there were still some things to do in the future, for example, the peppers had to be harvested every now and then, but this matter was not in a hurry, with Cai Lin here, the peppers were not heavy, and the ox cart One cart can pull a lot. Within two days, Cai Lin sent more than 60 catties of peppers, and more than 30 catties of sun-dried peppers. Zheng Jiangting still followed the previous method and bought a few pickle jars. And small jars, soak chili and make chili sauce respectively, and there are more than ten large and small jars in the house at once.

It was just busy here, and Huang Jingyi brought the news that Carpenter Ma had delivered the furniture, and the house had been taken care of. Zheng Jiangting himself went around to make sure that he could really move in with his bags. Only then did the horse carpenter, the tailor's shop, the chariot and horse shop, the timber shop and other one-shot shops make the final payment, which can be said to be poor for a while.

However, although the four pockets weighed the same, he was very happy. After a month or two of hard work, he finally settled down the house affairs.

On the first day of July, it rained cats and dogs. Zheng Jiang didn't go to restaurants or run business outside. He changed into decent clothes, tidied up, and put the heavy keys of the new house into his sleeves. In the middle of the night, he held up an oil-paper umbrella and knocked on the courtyard gate of Chu Xian's house.
