The Story of Ancient Farming through Time Traveling
Chapter 116 Selling Flour
From a distance, I saw Liu Cui wandering back and forth in front of the gate, and when I saw Chen Xingzhou come back, I hurried forward, "Xingzhou, what happened to your hand?" His face was full of anxiety and distress.
"Mother, it's okay, I just accidentally cut the wheat." Li Zhu must have told Liu Cui.
"Bring it to me to see."
It's all wrapped into zongzi, so you can't see anything, right?However, Chen Xingzhou was still very touched by their concern.
Chen Xingzhou raised his left hand like a rice dumpling, "Mother, I'm really fine, it doesn't hurt anymore."
"Why are you so careless? It's really worrying. Fortunately, it was the left hand that was injured. If it was the right hand, it would be a problem to eat. Be careful when working in the future. Don't go to the field recently, and cultivate at home for a while Bar."
"Mother, I'm really fine, and I don't plan to go to the field recently, I will definitely pay attention next time, I'm hungry, I want to eat the rice cooked by mother."
Chen Xingzhou took the opportunity to divert Liu Cui's attention, Liu Cui shook her head, there was really nothing she could do about Xingzhou.
"Hurry up and eat."
Chen Xingzhou obediently followed behind Liu Cui. In the yard, Li Zhu and Li Po were already sitting at the dining table, waiting for them to join them.
Before dinner, Li Po also said a few words to Chen Xingzhou, and he listened to the lesson honestly.
Li Zhu went to hire five workers the next day, and was known for his speed of harvesting the wheat. After more than ten days, the wheat on the 35 mu of land was almost finished harvesting.
Besides, as soon as Prime Minister Shu Chenggong arrived in Beijing, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and directly took the fruit into the palace to meet the emperor.
Entering the Tai'an Hall, Shugong saw a touch of bright yellow, and knelt down to pay his respects, "The minister, Shugong, sees the emperor."
"Get up, I don't know what Aiqing is talking about here?"
"Your Majesty, I have something very important to report."
Very important thing?Emperor Zhou Jue waved to the eunuchs and maids, and there were only two of them left in Tai'an Palace.
"Tell me, what's important?"
"I seem to have seen the second prince?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jue slapped his hands on the table heavily, stood up abruptly and asked sharply, "Success, do you know what I'm going to say?"
Shu Chenggong quickly knelt down and threw the ground and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you. The man is about 20 years old, and he looks seven to eight times like you. His eyebrows and eyes are even more the same as the late Concubine Yue. Who else could the prince be?"
Most of Zhou Jue believed the success of the book. Success is the old man in the court and the person he trusts the most. He will never lie to him. There are very few people who know this, and they look so much like themselves and Yue'er, so they will never be wrong about success.
"Success, where did you see it?" Zhou Jue's tone has returned to normal.
Shucheng knew that the emperor had lettered.
"Shanshui Town, I went there intending to buy fruit to present to the emperor, and found that young master by chance."
What a coincidence, it's just fate.
"What are fruits?"
"It's a kind of folk food. It was planted by a young man named Chen Xingzhou. I have already brought the fruit, so let someone bring it in for you right away?"
"Don't worry, you should send someone to find out the identity of that young master first, be careful, don't let anyone know, if it is really him, then find a suitable excuse and bring him into the palace."
"Yes, sir, let's do it now."
"Well, is there anything else?"
"Gone."
"Just step back and let me wait by myself."
"Yes, I retire."
In an instant, Shu succeeded in discovering that the emperor was much older. Also, that incident was always a hurdle in the emperor's heart. Fortunately, he finally found the second prince.
After the book successfully left, Zhou Jue fell down and sat on the chair. He will never forget that 21 years ago, Yue'er died suddenly when he personally led the army to attack the neighboring country and expand the territory. Even his unborn son could not escape. In that accident, although he did not die, he did not know where he was. What happened in the palace must have been done by the people in the palace. He sent people to investigate, but everyone who participated in the incident died, and there was no proof of death. In the end, he could only die. In short, he has been sending people to search for the whereabouts of the child. For 21 years, there is no trace.
All the wheat has been harvested, and a total of nearly [-] catties have been harvested. A catty is sold for [-] Wen, and the income is considerable.
Now, there were only some vegetables left in the field. Chen Xingzhou left a worker to watch the field, and the rest of them were all grinding flour.
Turning wheat into flour is a labor-intensive business. In modern times, there are machines, which are convenient and quick. In ancient times, only stone mills can be used. Even if it is pulled by big yellow cattle, it requires workers to operate beside it, which is really labor-intensive.
Chen Xingzhou has nearly 15 people under his command. Li Zhu and Liu Fei are not involved in flour milling. They play a supervisory role. The milling of flour is done by the workers and the big ox. Because of the heavy workload, he raised wages for the workers and paid back one of them. Send out ten catties of flour.
Because of the need to grind flour, Chen Xingzhou temporarily handed over the store to Baigan. He rented a large yard in advance to use it as a base for grinding flour, and then bought stone mills everywhere. After a long time, he finally got fifteen. Only a stone mill can carry out the work.
Chen Xingzhou's hand was almost healed, but left a deep scar, which was ugly enough to die, but Baigan didn't think so. He said at the time, "No matter what you become, you are my Xingzhou." He couldn't help it. To describe his mood at that time, he only remembered that he was crying, how lucky he was to be the only one out of a hundred.
There are many people and strength is great. Although not all the wheat has been ground, it can still be sold.
When Qianzhou Fruit Shop launched flour, and it cost fifteen cents a catty, people rushed to snatch it up. Most of them were ordinary owners. They really didn't expect that one day they would be able to eat big white steamed buns.
When many customers came to buy flour, they were very grateful to Chen Xingzhou, and there were a few well-meaning people who offered to introduce girls to him, but he refused them one by one, and every time someone introduced a girl to him, Baigan's face would be very ugly. Chen Xingzhou, who was watching, was enjoying himself.
Due to too many people who came to buy flour, Chen Xingzhou and Baigan were a bit overwhelmed, and Yuan Bao came to help later, so he relaxed a little.
Fifteen cents a catty of flour is equivalent to free delivery, and many big bosses also come to buy, buying a lot at a time, and they are loyal customers of Qianzhou Store.
In Yueyang Tea House, Li Shiduo and Bei Xiao could not dispel the anger in their hearts even if they tasted good tea.
"Boss Bei, what's going on? How did that kid Chen Xingzhou get the wheat seeds? I didn't hear that the higher-ups gave him the wheat seeds." Suddenly, a Qianzhou fruit shop popped up. what flour?It made their grain store business deserted.
"I don't know very well, and I only found out today that a catty of flour sells for fifteen yuan. Where did this person come from? Why have I never noticed that there is a Qianzhou fruit shop in Shanshui Town?"
"Didn't you go to that store to buy fruit?" Li Shiduo was very surprised. The fruit in that store has been popular since it opened. I didn't expect that Bei Xiao didn't know about it. Where did the seeds come from.
"No, what's the problem?"
"That fruit shop has been popular since its opening, and there are still many foreigners who come to buy it. This Chen Xingzhou is really too much. He can't sell fruit properly, but he has to sell flour. It really squeezes the business of our grain shop. Very easy to do."
"Then what happened to the Zhou family?" It stands to reason that the Zhou family should not just sit idly by.
"It doesn't matter if the Zhou family doesn't mention it, the Zhou family is dying. Ever since Zhou Zhijin entered and Zhou Zhinan took the helm, his family's business has plummeted. He used to be a good-for-nothing second-generation ancestor, not suitable for business."
"In that case, what should we do if we two have a good discussion?"
Li Shiduo looked distressed, "Boss Bei, Chen Xingzhou is familiar with the boss of Tianxianglou, and I often see him in that fruit shop. Do you think we can move him?"
Bei Xiao sneered, "Isn't he just a tavern owner? There's nothing to be afraid of. He can't be allowed to sell flour all the time, or our two businesses will be ruined." Fifteen cents a catty of flour is too much lower than their selling price. If there are too many, it will simply cut off their money.
Even Bei Xiao said so, what is so scary about him, Li Shiduo?
"Boss Bei, what you said is true. As the two largest grain shops in Shanshui Town, can't we handle a newly opened fruit shop?"
"Then do you have any good ideas?"
Li Shiduo sneered, "Find someone to smash their shop, and the shop is smashed, can you still sell flour?"
Bei Xiao thought it was feasible, "Okay, I'll send someone to smash his shop right away." Since he dared to sell flour, he had to bear the consequences.
The person who successfully dispatched the book soon got news. Baigan was considered a celebrity in Shanshui Town, so it was very easy to inquire about him. When he learned that his name was Baigan and he was the son of Bai Lianyang, he was undoubtedly more excited. I am sure of Baigan's identity, because General Bai Lianyang is the real brother of Concubine Yue. After the accident of Concubine Yue 21 years ago, Bai Lianyang resigned from office and returned to his hometown because of his grief. He never thought that the second prince was actually brought up by him. .
Shu Chenggong hurried into the palace and reported the matter to Zhou Jue, and now Baigan's identity was beyond doubt.
"I need to find a way for me to meet him." Zhou Jue's voice was full of excitement, Huang Tian paid off, and finally let him find him.
"My lord has a proposal."
"But it doesn't matter."
"The second prince is a friend of the owner of the fruit shop. If the two of them are summoned to the palace in the name of the fruit, I think they will not doubt it."
The idea of a successful book is undoubtedly the best idea now, Zhou Juelong patted him on the shoulder happily and said: "I leave this matter to you, and you must bring them both back to the palace."
"Yes, I'm sure it will be done."
Zhou Jue can rest assured that the book has successfully handled the matter. After the two of them recognize each other, they will definitely thank Bai Lianyang and Shu for the success. Yue'er, after all these years, I finally found our prince, and you can feel at ease under Jiuquan.
