The rebirth of God's boss

Chapter 18 Selling Winter Goods

That's right, can you drink it?Because of the peach blossoms, the Chu family's fruit wines are all brewed with the water from the Lingquan in the backyard.

The selling point of the Chu family's fruit wine is on the water.

The New Year's Eve is held every year on the evening of the last day of the previous year.Wait until the next morning to be a new year.

On the first day of the new year, Chu Dashan took his wife and children to see his uncle.Uncle Ming is not at home every year during the annual festival.When he happened to be at home this year, Chu Dashan brought his wife and children over.

After having a warm meal, Chu Dashan took his wife and children back to the old Chuzhuang from the old Qizhuang where the uncle Ming lived.

Chu Dashan deeply felt that since he built the big yard in the Hulu Valley, his luck has been very good.

In just a few months, he has changed from a poor man to a country tyrant with more than [-] taels.In other words, he had never seen so much shiny silver.

Now all the money is stored in his own cellar, this is the confidence that he can straighten his back!
Looking at the entire old Chuzhuang, there are more than 700 households and more than 5000 people. It is estimated that there are not many people with more wealth than his current family.

I can't imagine it, it feels like a family business is flying like a boom!
After selling the fruit wine, he adjusted his mood alone at home for three days, and then led Dalang and the others into Changyang City.He has other things to sell.

The first is [-] catties of salted fish, cured fish, various dried shrimps, dried scallops, dried fish and other lake fresh products.

The vicinity of Changyang is rich in fresh water resources and has two large lakes, one of which is Xifeng Lake at the foot of Xifeng Mountain, and the other is Bibo Lake at the foot of Xiongshan Mountain.

The mountain behind Laochuzhuang is a branch of Xiongshan.

Because there are many lakes and rivers, the fresh fish and shrimps from the lake are actually not priced high in Changyang City.

But every year before and after the annual festival, the surrounding cities and even farther places have cities forming large and small caravans to come and trade.They resell large foreign caravans of goods from the lake that cannot be sold in Changyang. As long as there are a large number of them, they can still make a lot of money.

The fresh fish in Changyang City is now only two coppers per pound.This is because the festival is coming soon.But once it was changed to pickled fish, it immediately turned into eight coppers per pound.After all, kippers are marinated with precious salt.

The same is true of cured fish, because it is salty, so six coppers per pound.The price of dried fish is relatively weak, only three coppers per pound, but the price was cheaper when I received it at the beginning, [-] pounds of fresh fish is twenty coppers, so no matter how you calculate it, it is a profit.

Adding dried shrimps, scallops and other items, more than 3 catties of fresh fish and shrimps were sold for a total of 160 taels.

At the time of collection, salt and other ingredients were added, and the cost was only 45 taels. This lake fresh made a net profit of 110 taels.

Then there were all kinds of roasted seeds and nuts, and after the dry goods were wholesaled, they made a net profit of 25 taels.

All kinds of miscellaneous sauces also made a net profit of 35 taels.

The most profitable is all kinds of cured meat and cured meat. Although the price is high, the profit is also high. The net profit of more than 6000 catties of meat is 320 taels.

Sure enough, the fish and shrimp still can't sell at the price!

However, relying on Bibo Lake, there are many fish and shrimp in the lake. In autumn, everyone can get a boat and go down to the lake to fish, and they can get hundreds of thousands of catties of fish and shrimp back in a day.

So it's natural to not be able to sell the price.

It is still not enough to store these winter goods in the cellar. Chu Dashan has planned to activate the basement in the outer valley of Hulu Valley next year.

According to the situation of this year, Chu Dashan summed up the fact that the lack of winter goods received this year has a lot to do with the shortage of manpower.

This year, his family paid the highest price in the whole village, and only [-] day laborers were hired.

While collecting things, his family also needs to make all kinds of finished winter goods with higher prices. People are needed everywhere. Except for the people in the village, people from other villages don’t like to come to work as part-time workers.

Therefore, his family has been limited in both receiving and producing goods this year. The cellar and basement in his new yard have not been opened, and they have not expanded to the limit of receiving and producing goods.

This year, his family earned nearly 500 taels just for winter goods.Adding fruit wine and excluding the mercantile tax paid, it was 7000 taels of silver.

If the problem of manpower is not solved next year, it is estimated that his plan to use the winter goods to make more money will come to nothing.

In addition, the Chu Qi family specially asked Taohua and Qingmei to make some dark flowers and plain brocade, and put together ten pieces, one piece sold for 60 taels, and ten pieces were 600 taels.

Before the New Year Festival, all the goods in the family were emptied, and more than 7000 taels of silver were also put into the cellar of the new courtyard.

In addition to the original deposit of more than 3 taels of silver, the savings at home will soon exceed 4 taels.

After Chu Dashan settled the account, his expression was in a trance for a while.

"By the way, today you go out to reconcile and pay the last miscellaneous money. Dad brought the fifth child here, and the first thing he asked was 50 taels, saying that it was the pension money that should be given before the New Year Festival.

He wants urgently, and you are not there.I gave it to him. "

Chu Qi was sitting beside him and said casually while mending his coat.

Chu Dashan suddenly complained helplessly, "Why did you give him so much money? It's over. You see, after the beginning of spring, he will have to go up to a higher level when he asks for money. From now on, 100 taels a year won't be enough, and at least 150 taels will be enough." he."

Chu Qi's speechless glanced at his husband.

She couldn't even complain about her husband and father-in-law.

Not long after dinner, a clan member came to summon him, saying that the old village chief asked him to come.

When he arrived, there were about ten people, old and young.

Everyone silently found a place to sit and waited for the old village chief to speak.

The old village chief pointed the people in the house aside with his eyes, and then said, "You all know Xiaohe Village, right? That's also the village of our Chu family. Their village is now smaller and more populous, so they want to move to our old Chu Village. A group of people came.

What do you think? "

"Xiaohe Village guards the water and has a lot of paddy fields. Their population is not as large as our village, so why are there so few people there?" The one who spoke was the winemaker in the village. According to his seniority, he was the clan leader of Chu Dashan, Chu Changfeng. .

"There are a lot of paddy fields in Xiaohe Village, but he was also attracted by the undistinguished bastard of the third house and fourth master of the direct branch. This year, the fourth master forcibly occupied [-] mu of first-class paddy fields in Xiaohe Village. He didn't give any money. .

There are hundreds of households in Xiaohe Village who have lost their paddy fields and are struggling to live. More than 700 people.

There is no other way but to move to the surrounding villages where the tribesmen live together.They will move over in the early spring of next year. "

The survival of the peasant households is still dominated by the land. They have lost their paddy fields, and other paddy fields in Xiaohe Village are in the hands of other clansmen. How can people sell their own lifeblood to others for no reason?Not even the same race!

So leaving Xiaohe Village became inevitable.

Why don't you go and be a tenant for that fourth master? !
Who would like this? !
