Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 57 The Rules

Inside the room, Sheng Jiaojiao counted the coins on the small table and smiled, then asked Qi Rong,

"You went to Dongying these few days, did you ask your brother Ji, when will you go home?"

"They said they would be back tomorrow, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, you go to study and practice calligraphy quickly, and after an hour, go dig the pit in the yard and dig it deeper."

Sheng Jiaojiao sent Qi Zhi away, seeing Qi Zhi's small face turned into a bitter melon face when he heard reading and writing, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing and said:
"It's said that the heavens will send a great mission to the people, and they must first work hard on their minds, muscles and bones, and starve their bodies. Where are you going? Hurry up."

"I would rather dig a hole first, and then read and write."

While muttering, Qi Rong still drooped his shoulders, as if he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders, and went to his room to read and write with very heavy steps.

My God, why is there such torture as reading and writing in this world?
After sending Qi Zhi away, Sheng Jiaojiao slightly opened some papered wooden windows and looked into the gaps.

Most of the spectators outside the courtyard of the Qi family had already left, and the women who usually embroidered with Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi had moved from the house and sat in the yard to do embroidery work. Embroidered live.

While doing embroidery work, while eating apples.

The three uncles of the Qi family also came back. They walked around the fallen trees in the yard with their hands behind their backs. They were still discussing how to prevent these trees from dying so quickly.

They were all bought at a huge price. It is a pity that they will not survive half a year if they are planted.

Sheng Jiaojiao tidied herself up in the house, got up and left the house, and went to the backyard to toss the half-acre vegetable field in the yard.

Since Sheng Jiaojiao went to Dongying, no one in the family took care of the half-acre small vegetable field.

Now that Sheng Jiaojiao has returned from Dongying, the vegetables in this half-acre vegetable field are growing well and green again.

Because Sheng Jiaojiao would fill the water tank with her own water every day for the family to eat and drink.

But every day, the whole family would go to Shuipo one after another to bring back a jar of water.

Sometimes when the Qi family returned with their backs, they found that the water tank was still full, so they put the filled earthenware pots beside the water tank and went about their own business.

When Sheng Jiaojiao was free, she went to the backyard and poured all the water from their clay pots into the half-acre vegetable field.

When Qi's family came back to check their earthen pots, they found that the pot was empty but the water tank was still full. They thought that someone used the water in the water tank, and then used the earthen pottery pot filled with water next to them to fill the water tank. The tank is full of water.

So no one has ever discovered that the water they carry back from the water pool every day has been stolen by Sheng Jiaojiao.

And the Qi family who drank the "God" water every day, their bodies will be washed every day by the "God" water of Sheng Jiaojiao, the water ghost.

They had to eat and drink every day, and every day the chamber pot was poured into the cesspool for composting.

The Qi family, on the other hand, use the manure in the cesspool to irrigate the vegetable and medicine fields every day.
Gradually, not only the medicine field sprouted, but even the half-acre vegetable field in the backyard grew strong.

Although the growth rate of these green vegetables is the same as that of ordinary side dishes, compared with the side dishes in Tuao, the appearance of the two is still similar.

In the past few days, when the ladies of the Qi family took turns cooking, they always stir-fried the vegetables from the half-acre vegetable field in the backyard. When Sheng Jiaojiao ate them, she felt that the taste was similar to the vegetables she grew directly with water.

So during dinner, when the family was sitting around the dining table in the kitchen, Sheng Jiaojiao said,

"I think the half acre of vegetable land in our backyard is growing so well, why don't we plant another half acre of land, and we can exchange some of the side dishes we can't finish eating at that time."

Miss Qi hastily expressed her opinion,
"I think it's okay. The longer this vegetable grows, the better it will be. I think our family is really going to make a fortune this time."

The old lady Qi, who was sitting beside Sheng Jiaojiao, had a loving face, and put a piece of meat into Sheng Jiaojiao's bowl.

Qi Zhang sent home so much money, now the Qi family can eat meat every meal, but if they eat meat every meal, there will always be a day when they will sit and eat. The vegetables in the field can really grow equally well, and the vegetables that can't be eaten can be sold.

"Alright then, I'll rest at home tomorrow, and I'll open the land."

Uncle Qi took the initiative to invite Ying, full of enthusiasm.

In fact, Uncle Qi and Uncle Qi also thought about the matter of opening land. Recently, people everywhere in the village say that their Qi family is going to make a fortune. the better.

They themselves also felt this way. They didn't look at the half-acre vegetable field that was green and yellow, but now there is a green vegetable growing, which is a good sign.

It's just that Uncle Qi is off tomorrow and doesn't have to go to the militia. Qi Ah Er and Qi Ah San will still go to the militia on duty tomorrow.

Sheng Jiaojiao asked again:
"Now that the subordinate country has been scared by Tan Ji and my elder brother, is the militia still going?"

"It's not like before, you have to register when you go in and out, but Tan Jia Dalang told your elder brother that you have to be tight on the outside and loose on the inside, so the patrol is twice as strong as before."

Uncle Qi said, looking at old lady Qi again, hesitantly said:
"Mother, Er Gouzi in our team said, can we sell some of our apples to his family? His wife ate an apple at our house yesterday, and she still wants to eat it today."

Mrs. Qi San who was next to her said "嗐" and said:
"If the second bitch wants to eat, just give her a few. There are still many in the basket in our backyard."

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was sitting next to the old lady Qi, slightly raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Qi San, her lips moved, but she didn't speak.

In fact, most of Qi Rong's temperament followed his father and mother's. He was enthusiastic and straightforward. When thinking about something, he could only think of the present moment, not the next few steps.

At the dinner table, the second lady, who never spoke, opened her mouth after hearing what Qi San said:

"Third brothers and sisters can't say that. Apples are delicious and a rarity. Everyone in the village wants to eat them twice. Today we will give away a few, and tomorrow we will give away a few. No matter how many apples there are in the basket, I can't stand sending it like this."

This second lady Qi is shrewd and doesn't like to talk much, but what she often says hits the nail on the head.

"Oh, Second Sister-in-Law, Er Gouzi said he wants to buy it, but we really sell it? These are from the folks in the village, and they are members of the militia. It's just a few apples. I don't know how to sell them, and I don't know how to open my mouth to accept them. money."

The third lady was impatient. Neither her man nor she was the kind of person who could play with his mind. They couldn't handle this matter well, and they didn't know how to handle it.

We are all from the same village, and relatives are connected to relatives, and the generations of ancestors, maybe they are still a family.

There is no one in the village who has done business with the villagers.

In the end, it was all barter, but it was a blood loss.

Originally, Qi Ada went out with a basket of vegetables on his back, so he only exchanged two wooden hairpins for Sheng Jiaojiao and returned, just a few apples, it might as well be a personal gift and give it away.

Sheng Jiaojiao slowly stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a side dish, and put it into Old Madam Qi's bowl, she looked even more delicate than serving the Queen Mother.

She said:
"The village is full of relatives. In the past, when anyone had something, they bartered it or gave it as a favor. This is actually quite irregular. We bought apples with our own hard-earned money. It's delicious, everyone wants to eat it, but even if you give one to everyone, you can't deliver it to everyone, so let's sell it first and set up the rules. Regardless of whether Uncle Ergou feels comfortable or not, let's collect the money first. Give him a few more, and he will feel at ease."

The second lady looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, nodded secretly, then lowered her head to eat and stopped talking.

In this family, she is not an eye-catching existence. If she hadn't offered to help the children in the private school make straw paper last time, the Qi family would have almost forgotten that there is such a person as her.

Moreover, the second lady of Qi could not speak, but once she opened her mouth, the words she said would make people feel very uncomfortable.

So she habitually said nothing.

Sheng Jiaojiao turned her head and said to Qi Er Niangzi:

"It's up to the second aunt to set the rules. The third uncle and the third aunt are not good-spoken people,"

Second Lady Qi paused with her chopsticks, and a forced smile of unconfidence appeared on her face, and she refused:
"I, I offend people as soon as I open my mouth. How can I do this? Who doesn't know, I don't have much contact with the ladies in the village."

These words are telling the truth. Mrs. Qi Er is dull, shrewd, likes to make small calculations, and she doesn't talk much. She doesn't take advantage of others, but others don't want to take advantage of her.

She is the most unpleasant lady in Huangtu Village.

Old Madam Qi glanced at Second Uncle Qi, and then at Second Lady Qi,

"Jiao Jiao'er says you can do it, so you can do it. If you can't do it well, then say you can't do it, because the words are not good, and you have offended others. Have you done less in these years? In my opinion, you are the most suitable for the whole family. "

Since it is to start a business, there is no reason to give it away for free. In the past, there was no rule of asking for money from people in the village. It is precisely because there is no such rule that one person is needed to establish this rule.

Indeed, no one is more suitable than Mrs. Qi Er, who is shrewd and calculating, who offends others as soon as she speaks.

Uncle Qi almost lowered his head into the rice bowl, not daring to speak for his wife.

In the second room of the Qi family, Uncle Qi can be regarded as the person who has the least idea. He either listens to his mother or his wife.

Even when Qi Erlang went to be an apprentice to a shopkeeper, he listened to his wife's advice and sent him out to travel all over the world for several years.

Now that the old lady has spoken, Second Lady Qi no longer wants to stand out, so she has to bite the bullet and take over this job.

So after dinner, Second Lady Qi went into Sheng Jiaojiao's house, caught Qi Rong who was learning to write the account book in Sheng Jiaojiao's house, and asked:
"Sir, how much did you pay for the apples you bought from the peddler?"

Qi Zhi raised his head abruptly, and looked at Sheng Jiaojiao who was sitting opposite him. His apples were all picked from the tree, and there was no cost at all.
But my sister wouldn't let him say this.

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was originally translating a book and teaching Qi Rong to keep accounts, took out a piece of paper from under the book and handed it to Mrs. Qi Er.

The paper recorded the purchase price of apples, Qi Rong's working hours, wages, fodder costs for raising mules, etc., and they were classified into categories and quite detailed.

Few people in Zhishou County can understand the account books. The reason is that people in Zhishou County value literature over martial arts. Let alone understand the account books, it may be difficult for them to recognize a few words.

But Mrs. Qi understood.

She didn't know many characters, just a few commonly used characters in the account book, so she quoted a price to Sheng Jiaojiao and asked:
"I'll sell it for this price, and I'll send a few more apples to Ergou Niangzi, how about it?"

The price Er Niangzi said was not only not a loss, but also earned three or four times the cost price.

The so-called cost price includes the purchase price of apples, the working hours and wages of Qi Rong, the cost of forage for mules, and so on.

Apple's purchase price is zero!This part of the money can all go into Sheng Jiaojiao's private account.

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded with a smile, and she said that the whole family, in fact, the second aunt is the most talented in business. From the very beginning, the second wife Qi told Sheng Jiaojiao how much pen, ink, paper and inkstone the Enlightenment School needs to start, and Sheng Jiaojiao could tell up.

It's just that in Zhishou County, where martial arts are still practiced, everyone regards simplicity and honesty as good morals, and people with a temper like Second Aunt's seem very unpleasant.

Sheng Jiaojiao was in command of the Sixth Palace in her previous life, and she realized a truth very deeply. There is no one who is completely useless in this world. Many people who seem out of place are just because they are not in a specific position to display their talents.

Since the second aunt is good at calculating, then Sheng Jiaojiao let her take this position
After chatting with Er Niangzi for a while, there was someone called Sheng Jiaojiao outside.

When she heard it, it sounded like Niu Ju's voice.

So Sheng Jiaojiao went out of her room and went to the yard to have a look. Sure enough, under the moonlight, there were rosy cows and chrysanthemums standing all over her face.

"Niu Ju? You're only coming back at this time?"

Sheng Jiaojiao came out of the courtyard and stood at the entrance of the courtyard looking at Niu Ju.

She plucked from her sleeve with joy, pulled out a large handful of copper coins, handed it to Sheng Jiaojiao, and said:
"The apples are selling very quickly, so I went to the market to look around, and I have been going back until now. This is the money for selling apples, Jiaojiao, do you have any apples there? I want to sell them tomorrow."

She is honest, how many apples have been sold today, there is not even a copper coin left, all of them are picked out and given to Sheng Jiaojiao, who can only hold them with both hands.

Before she could answer Niu Ju's words, she heard Niu Ju say:
"I went to see the price of selling sheep at the fair today, and it's only a few hundred dollars per sheep."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiaojiao asked:

"Why is the price of sheep so cheap?"

"I heard that they are all sheep from the north of the county. I talked for a long time with several sheep sellers at the fair. They said that people from the north of the county are moving to the south of the county, so they are all selling sheep."

What Niu Ju said is very ambitious. Now she wants to buy sheep with all her heart, and buy a lot of sheep.
