Farming with the get rich system

Cattle are the most important livestock for farmers who make a living by farming.

One farm ox is worth the labor of four or five young and middle-aged men, and it can save food rations.

In the small village where Gu Shen lives, not every household has its own cattle.

Families without farming cattle either rely on the strong labor of the family to fight recklessly.

Either go to a rich family with a big business to rent it out. Now these two ways are impossible for Gu Shen.

There are only him and Su Yan in Gu Shen's family, and the land is wasteland that has not been planted for more than ten years. It is really difficult to turn the wasteland by pure human power.

The closest big family to the village that can rent cattle is the Gu family from which Gu Shen was born.Now all the property of the Gu family is in the hands of his black-hearted stepmother, Gu Fangshi. How could she rent the cattle to his stepson, who was kicked out of the house after so much difficulty.

Therefore, if Gu Shen wanted to farm cattle, he could only rely on his own ability.

Late that night, Gu Shen coaxed Su Yan to sleep on the broken wooden bed that could only accommodate one person to sleep.On the other hand, he was leaning on the straw mat Su Yan temporarily laid in the kitchen, thinking about ways to obtain farm cattle.

When Gu Shen hadn't traveled through time, Gu Nanting would not allow Su Yan to be in the same room with him, so Su Yan had no choice but to commit himself here every day.

The straw mattress was damp and cold, if it wasn't for being too tired during the day, how could it be possible to lie down and fall asleep in such a place?

Otherwise, Gu Nanting, this little bastard is really nothing.

Take all of Su Yan's good things for granted.

In the dead of night, Gu Shen leaned against the blackened wall of the kitchen and browsed the relevant data in the rich system.

In Daxia, the general price of a healthy cattle is four taels, and now it is the busy farming season, the price of a mature cattle is at least six taels.

Six taels of silver was the annual income of a young helper in the Great Xia Dynasty.

If you want to make this money within two or three days, it must be impossible to use ordinary methods.

According to Gu Shen's experience in his previous life, he wanted to make a fortune from scratch.

It is necessary to choose a targeted and low-cost product.

Best of all, it's for women.

Because any product that can please women is easy to sell.

After thinking deeply, Gu suddenly had an excellent idea.

The next morning, Su Yan woke up from the bed clutching his aching shoulder.

His body was covered with the coat that the young master changed yesterday, but Gu Shen who hugged him and patted his back yesterday was nowhere to be seen.

He turned over quickly and got off the ground, carrying his coat to find the back yard from the front yard.

In the backyard, Gu Shen was half-kneeling on the ground, concentrating on assembling something.

"Master, it's very windy when you get up early, why did you come out without wearing a coat?" Su Yan tilted his head and looked for a while, but he couldn't see why: "Master, what are you doing?"

"I just turned off the fire here. It's not cold." Gu Shen raised his finger and pointed to the ashes of the fire that had just been extinguished under the pottery urn, and then aligned the clip of the last part with the parts on the other side to form a Gold square copper bars throughout.He spread the assembled object in the palm of his hand: "Look, this is what can be exchanged for the cattle."

"Master, are you going to exchange this thing for cattle?" Su Yan touched the smooth surface of the metal bar carefully: "It's just that I can't see what it is."

Gu Shen raised his lips and smiled, and opened the cover of the copper bar, revealing the round metal tube inside: "Look, Ayan."

As Gu Shen gently twisted the edge of the metal tube, a brightly colored paste with a cylindrical beveled surface slowly rose, and then rotated in the opposite direction, the paste slowly descended again, and when the lid was closed, it was a complete body. Copper strip.

After this operation, Su Yan's eyes straightened.

As far as he knew, he had never seen such a small and exquisite object.

"Master, what exactly is this? I really haven't seen it before." Su Yan smiled apologetically.

"This is lip balm for women, also called lipstick." Gu Shen weighed the little thing in his hand: "Right now, the rouge you sell in the market is either in sheets or in pottery bowls. It’s not straight, and it’s easy to damage the skin. With this thing, it’s easier for women to make up.”

Last night, what Gu Shen racked his brains to think of was this lipstick.

He first used the wood left over from the plow to carve out the molds used for making lipsticks.

He also removed the only remaining brass bolt on the door of this dilapidated house, and made a very simple furnace out of clay pots.

Immediately afterwards, I went to Houshan to find the beeswax used as raw material with the help of the system's rich children.

In the end, Gu Shen bought the red toner and glycerin from the rich and expensive shopping mall of the system.

In this way, a patchwork but well-made lipstick was born.

In the era when Gu Shen was born, there was only such a small thing in his department stores, and he could earn tens of millions of dollars a year.

Su Yan is a man, and he doesn't understand the importance of what a woman needs to make up her makeup.

He only knew that his young master was so powerful that he could understand so many things.

"Ayan is waiting for me at home. If all goes well, I will bring you the farm cattle in the evening." Before leaving, Gu Shen touched the wound on Su Yan's shoulder again: "Don't get wet on the wound, be careful .”

Su Yan felt faintly hot on his cheeks. Ever since Gu Shen said yesterday that he wanted to marry him as his wife, Su Yan would feel shy when facing Gu Shen face to face.

Gu Shen led the puppy Fu Guier all the way to Hong'an Street, the bustling downtown area of ​​Water Source City.

As he walked, he remembered that on this Hong'an Street, from the street to the end of the street, there were a total of seven rouge shops.

Gu Shen thought for a while, and instead of choosing the largest and best-selling Chunfeng Cosmetics Store, he chose the Wanji Cosmetics Co., which is diagonally opposite it and has a relatively sparse business.

In Wanji Cosmetics Shop, Wan Lin, the shopkeeper, is cleaning the dust on the counter with a duster.

Seeing that it was Gu Shen coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Oh, isn't this the young master of the Gu family? Which lady are you shopping with today?"

The former owner, Gu Nanting, acted absurdly, often lingering in the place of fireworks, on weekdays, to adjust the beauty, to flirt with flowers and grass, it is estimated that he often patronizes this kind of cosmetic shop.Thinking of this, Gu Shen couldn't help cursing a few words in his heart, put his hands on the counter, and said straight to the point: "I'm not here to buy things today, but to give money to you, the shopkeeper."

"Oh? Master Gu, why did you say that?"

Gu Shen didn't say much, he just showed Wan Lin the small and exquisite lipstick sample in his hand, and Wan Lin, who was used to the cosmetics business, really became interested in this novelty and ingenious sample.

"This thing is called lipstick. The color is brighter than a hundred flowers, and it's small and easy to carry around. You just say how much such a piece is worth in your store." Gu Shen reclosed the lipstick tube and put it in the On the counter of shopkeeper Wanjia.

"Hiss... this thing... no matter what, it's worth a tael of silver." Shopkeeper Wan twisted the goatee on his chin, bent down to look at the lipstick on the counter, and looked up at Gu Shen: "Master Gu, you Is there anything to say about this thing?"

"I bring this thing to you, of course I want to sell it. If you want it, you and I will make a contract on the spot, 200 taels of silver to buy a one-year contract. Within this year, I can buy it with you every month. For a hundred pieces of this kind of goods, you earn more than you pay, and I only want 200 taels." Gu Shen raised his hand and flipped the abacus beads on the counter, and met shopkeeper Wan's eyes, his eyes were the best at shopping malls in his previous life decisive killing.

"This..." Wan Lin felt a little guilty from that look, somehow, he always felt that the young master of the Gu family in front of him was different from the past.

Don't mention this matter, let's talk about this business, Wan Lin, as an old shopkeeper who has spent most of his life in the cosmetics business, he knows how profitable this thing is.

As long as Gu Shen only wants him 200 taels, he has almost no possibility of losing money.

There is only one thing, this thing is still too new after all, it has never been done before, and no one can tell whether it will lose or win.

There are no absolutes in everything, and besides, Gu Shen, a young master, has always had a worrisome character, so giving him the money would be like a sheep going into the mouth of a tiger.

Gu Shen had met countless businessmen in his previous life, and he could see through the hesitation in Fang Lin's eyes with a single glance.

"Forget it, let's just think about it, there are so few people here every day, and a hundred sticks a month will be hard for you." Gu Shen smiled slightly, and stabbed Fang Lin's heart firmly: "This young master was originally looking at Fang Lin's heart." You only want to give you this opportunity to make money for the sake of the old man. I should have sent this thing to the shopkeeper Wu of Chunfeng a long time ago, and it would be a waste to give it to you. "

After Gu Shen finished speaking, he grabbed the lipstick samples on the table, turned around and left.

"Wait, Young Master Gu." Wan Lin stopped Gu Shen when he was about to walk out of the gate.

Gu Shen turned his back to him and slightly raised the corner of his mouth, which is why he chose Wanji Rouge Shop.

"Huh? Why?" Gu Shen asked knowingly.

"30 taels, I'll pay 30 taels as a deposit first!" Wan Lin said anxiously: "The rest will be paid after you deliver the first batch, young master!"

Gu Shen turned his head, walked back to the counter with his hands behind his back, and picked up an ebony hairpin inlaid with silver: "Deal, but today I want this in addition to the deposit of 30 taels. If the shopkeeper Wan agrees If so, we will sign the contract now."

"Dude, come here." Wan Lin raised his hand and said, "Bring paper and pen, ink pad!"

***

At dusk at the end of the day, when the moon is on the branches.

Gu Shen finally appeared at the head of Shuiyuan Village, leading a strong yellow ox.

Behind the cattle is pulling a wooden cart, which is full of white rice and flour, a cage of live chickens and ducks, and a large piece of high-quality bacon.

There is a big oiled paper bag tied to the back of the puppy Fu Guier, which can be vaguely seen to be in the shape of a meat bun.

There are also four oiled paper bags hanging around Gu Shen's neck. One side is the mung bean cake and almond cake that Su Yan loved to eat in memory, and the other side is chopped elbow and roast chicken.

On the boundary stone at the entrance of the village, Su Yan leaned on it and dozed off with his head bowed. The lantern in his hand was also flickering.

"Ayan!" Gu Shen stomped his foot in front of Su Yan childishly, making Su Yan almost fall down in fright.

"Ah...ah? Young Master..." Su Yan got up from the ground holding the lantern.

"Didn't you tell me to wait for me at home? Why did you fall asleep here?" Gu Shen took Su Yan's hand and touched the cattle beside him: "Look, our family will have cattle from now on."

"I think it's getting late, and I'm worried about the young master." Su Yan stroked the docile cattle with his palm, his eyes were filled with surprise: "Young master, how did you do it?"

"Fool, didn't I tell you when I woke up in the morning?" Gu Shen held Su Yan with one hand and the cattle with the other and walked all the way back.

"I just didn't expect that what the young master and I watched in the morning could really be exchanged for farm cattle."

After returning home, Su Yan joyfully went to house the strong cattle and the two cages of fat chickens and ducks.

Gu Shen lit the oil lamp in the house, and moved piles of rice noodles into the kitchen.

Then he opened the paper bags around his neck and the dog Fuguier's body, and set up a table full of beautiful things.

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the business function today, the current wealth experience value: [-] points, please continue to work hard to unlock more functions."

System Fu Guier lay on the ground and gnawed on a greasy meat bun, prompting quite professionally.

At the same time, Su Yan also walked in from the door.

Gu Shen couldn't wait to put his arms around his shoulders, and put a small bag of silver wrapped in red cloth on the ebony silver-wrapped hairpin brought by Wanji: "Today I earned a total of 30 taels of silver, and I went to buy cattle. The money for rice, noodles, chicken, duck and food, as well as the money I will spend tomorrow, there are eight or two or three dollars left in this bag, all of which are given to you. And this hairpin is also for you, so don’t always use it in the future The sackcloth binds the hair."

Su Yan took the heavy silver bag and the delicate and elegant ebony-wrapped silver hairpin in a daze, holding one in his hand at a loss: "These are the money earned by the young master, how can I?"

"Why can't you? I'll make money from now on, and you'll be in charge of the accounts. That's the deal." Gu Shen hugged Su Yan's body and slowly tightened his arms: "After dinner, I'll try the hairpin for Ayan, Ayan Born to be handsome, it must look good on you."
