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

Chapter 70
Sheng Jiaojiao leaned slightly, moved closer to Niu Ju, and said calmly:

"I'm not saying, Niu Ju, these days, the money you earn is at least a few taels of silver. With so much money, at the current price of sheep, you can buy dozens of sheep. You really don't care."

"Then my aunt borrowed it all, what else can I do? My aunt said that it was my uncle's elder brother who wanted to marry a wife to build a house, so I lent it to him."

"Do you still have some?"

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't want to ask at first, but Niu Ju cried so badly that she couldn't help asking.

Niu Ju didn't answer, and two more tears fell from her eyes.

So Sheng Jiaojiao went on to say:

"In the past, your family had no money. Look at your house. Has your uncle borrowed anything from your family? Now that you have made money, your mother must be showing off in front of her family with your money. What, your uncle just found out how many taels of silver you have at home, so he came to borrow it all."

Niu Ju nodded, that's it. These days, her mother would tell everyone how much money she has and what she wants to do with it.

How did the money come from, but Xiong Lin felt that it was a bit difficult to say, so she didn't mention a word.

But everyone said that his family was rich.

Seeing that Niu Ju nodded in agreement, Sheng Jiaojiao let out a "heh" and said:

"With your aunt's temper, no matter how much money you make in the future, you won't be able to cover it."

"so what should I do?"

Niu Ju stomped her feet anxiously, she stood up from the kang, spun around in a hurry, and said:
"My mother knows that I can get a lot of wages by selling apples every day. I keep the money in my hand just to buy sheep. If I deduct half of the money and buy sheep and go home, she will know that I must be lying. No, I didn’t give her a real account.”

"Then you don't keep the sheep at home."

Sheng Jiaojiao stretched out a hand, propped her forehead with white tender fingertips, tilted her body gracefully, and said to Niu Ju:

"The medicine field behind our house needs someone to take care of it. I originally wanted to buy more sheep. There are more and more sheep. It doesn't make sense to keep them all in the front yard of my house. I have long wanted to find a special place to raise sheep. , the side of the medicine field behind the house is very good. From now on, you can also raise the sheep there, take care of the medicinal materials and raise the sheep for me, we will build a sheep shed, and grow some grass for the sheep. What do you think of the dung pulled by sheep can also be used to fertilize medicine fields?"

She detailed what Niu Ju had to do, which was equivalent to hiring Niu Ju.

Although Niu Ju took two wages from Sheng Jiaojiao, from then on, she didn't have much time to play around.

When Niu Ju, who was anxious to get angry, heard this, she thought it was a good plan. Her mother already knew that she could earn a lot of wages from Sheng Jiaojiao every day, so she had to take at least [-]% of it from her every day. salary.

Sometimes even Niu Ju would not leave a penny, and would take it all away.

Now Niu Ju can still pay A Niang a part of her wages, but Sheng Jiaojiao will give her extra money for picking herbs and raising sheep, so Niu Ju will not pay.

She wants to use the money to buy sheep, and the bought sheep are no longer kept at home, but are kept beside the medicine field.

This time Niu Ju figured it out by herself.

She and Sheng Jiaojiao planned to go to Jishang to sell the apples to the owner of the company they had agreed upon before, and then directly buy a sheep for herself, and Sheng Jiaojiao would take her to the medicine field.

They are going to build a sheep shed there.

As a result, when Niu Ju came back with a sheep, he went to Tu'ao and opened his mouth in surprise.

Seen from the flat ground, there is such a large vegetable field growing in an ordinary depression, and a large area of ​​medicinal materials grows on the soil slope, especially among the medicinal materials, there is even an apple tree growing.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that among the trees that Nest Sect sold to our family, there is an apple tree. I was afraid that it would be too eye-catching to plant outside, so I asked my four brothers to plant it in this dirt depression."

Sheng Jiaojiao explained the existence of the apple tree in an understatement. Seeing that Niu Ju had completely accepted her lie without even the slightest doubt, Sheng Jiaojiao smiled and pointed at the apple tree again.

"If you still have time, you can also help the four pick some apples."

Niu Ju nodded again and again. She took Sheng Jiaojiao's salary so much, and she worked for Sheng Jiaojiao non-stop for twelve hours a day. She felt that it was all right.

Originally, Sheng Jiaojiao was thinking that if she wanted to build a sheep shed, she would have to call Qi Rong back, but she wouldn't do that.

But before she could open her mouth, Niu Ju put the rope holding the sheep in her hand, rolled up her sleeves with both hands, went down the slope, turned around, and went to find the clod.

Sheng Jiaojiao let out an "ah", stood by the apple tree, and said to Niuju who brought a big clod of soil over:

"This work is too heavy, let the four brothers of my family come back and do it."

"It's okay, my own sheep shed, I must do it myself."

Niu Ju placed the soil clod on the side of the slope full of medicinal herbs, took a breath, rolled up the sleeves that had fallen below the elbows, and turned to look for the soil clod again.

When she came back, she planned to say to Sheng Jiaojiao:

"Here, here, first make a simple sheep shed, and then build up a little bit every day, so high"

She gestured, it seems that this sheep shed is not big, because she wanted to secretly find a shelter for her sheep, so she thought about building a sheep shed, so as to teach her sheep a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded, led the sheep forward, and doubled the size of the land planned by Niu Ju, saying:

"You have planned such a small space, how can it be enough? If you want to do it, make it bigger, build a big sheep shed, what is a dozen sheep, raise more, raise dozens, hundreds, thousands of sheep! "

While she was talking, Niu Ju's heart was pounding, she stepped out of A Niang's concern, and felt that what Sheng Jiaojiao said was not so unrealistic.

One day, she might be able to raise thousands of sheep. Niu Ju couldn't imagine what it would be like.

Then make the sheep shed bigger first, otherwise there will be too many sheep at that time, and it will be difficult to expand the sheep shed.

Niu Ju's brain has been completely bewitched by Sheng Jiaojiao, and she really followed Sheng Jiaojiao's plan and doubled the size of the original sheep shed.

She kept moving the stones and built a square sheep shed frame on the ground, and then she took a break.

Sheng Jiaojiao tied the sheep rope in her hand to the largest stone, and went home to fetch water for the cows and chrysanthemums.

Then, under the tree in my yard, I pulled two small grass seeds and prepared to plant them next to the sheep shed.

By chance, I ran into Xiong Lin, who was standing outside her yard with a smile on her face.

She called Sheng Jiaojiao,
"Jiao Niang, have you seen our Niu Ju? Oh, did this child sell apples for you?"

In the kitchen of the Qi family, Miss Qi was frying bacon, and a smell of bacon wafted out of the kitchen, making Xiong Lin, who was standing outside the yard, swallow her saliva.

Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao nodded, Xiong Lin asked with a smile:
"I heard that your Shiro has been collecting bacon in the village for several days. Dalang is really prosperous. Did your Erlang make a lot of money when he came back?"

Sheng Jiaojiao held the earthen pot, turned around, looked at Xiong Lin, and said:

"Niu Niangzi, don't be envious. With the money Niu Ju earns every day, your family of three can eat meat."

For a piece of bacon, Niu Ju's daily income is enough, such a big piece of bacon, Qi's family can't finish it in one meal, not to mention that there are only three members of Niu's family.

If it wasn't for Niu Niangzi to lend all the money Niu Ju earned to her brother, it would be enough to renovate the house, let alone eat meat.

Niu Niangzi couldn't understand the meaning of Sheng Jiaojiao's words, so she let out a "hi" and said to Sheng Jiaojiao:
"You, you are in the Qi family. The Qi family is a blessed family. Now Dalang is in charge of the military, and Erlang has made a fortune doing business outside. How can we Niu Ju compare with your two elder brothers? , not to mention, Niu Ju is still a girl."

She smiled, saw that there was no one else around, and looked at Sheng Jiaojiao again, admonishing her sincerely:

"Jiao Niang, if you have nothing to do, learn to help with some work at home. Your second brother will do the business, so don't get involved. Women, the most important thing is to take care of your husband's family and your mother's family. Okay, what else are you planning?"

Sheng Jiaojiao frowned when she heard this, she looked at Xiong Lin in disapproval, smiled dignifiedly, and replied:

"If I didn't do business, with my second elder brother's temperament, I definitely wouldn't hire a girl to run errands for him. After all, for women, it is enough to take care of my mother's family and husband's family at home. I am the same, and Niu Ju is the same."

So she doesn't do business, and Niu Ju doesn't have to run errands. Naturally, she can't get such a salary every day. If she can't pay Xiong Lin, Xiong Lin can't make a fortune at her mother's house, and her brother can't borrow money from Niu's house. So much money.

The smile on Xiong Lin's face froze, as if she had understood what Sheng Jiaojiao meant, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Indeed, if Sheng Jiaojiao wasn't going to sell apples at the market, why would Qi Erlang hire an unmarried girl to sell apples at the market instead of hiring so many young and strong men?

Just when Xiong Lin froze in place and before she could turn her head around, Sheng Jiaojiao turned and walked away.

She carried the earthen pot directly into the kitchen.

Mrs. Zhou was sitting in front of the stove and lighting a fire. Miss Qi had already finished frying a bowl of bacon. Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao entered the stove, she asked:
"Washing your hands and eating, what are you doing, that mouth can hang a pot, who made you unhappy? Auntie, go beat her to death."

"It's not Niu Ju!"

Sheng Jiaojiao carried the earthenware pot on her back, put the grass seeds into the purse at her waist, and took down a large bowl from the earth shelf hewn out from the wall, and said to A Niang:
"Aniang, give Niu Ju some meat to eat, and give her a bowl of rice. I'll bring it to her."

"Her family doesn't have anything to eat?"

Miss Qi asked if that was the question, or took the bowl from Sheng Jiaojiao, lifted the lid of the pot on the stove, filled a large bowl of rice for Niu Ju, took out chopsticks, and put a few large pieces of bacon on the stove. over rice.

Sheng Jiaojiao watched from the side, and told Xiong Lin about lending all the money Xiong Lin made from Niu Ju to the Xiong brothers.

They also talked about Niu Ju wanting to raise sheep, but Xiong Lin would not let them, so they planned to find a piece of land behind the house, build a sheep shed, and let Niu Ju raise the sheep there.

Since Xiong Lin couldn't let Xiong Lin know about this, Niu Ju had dinner at Qi's house for the time being, and then went back to Niu's house after finishing eating and working a little longer.

When Zhou heard this, he sneered and said:
"This Xiong's family is really kind. I know that brother Niu Niangzi. He is on good terms with Liu Qing. He is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. If you lend money to such a person, you may not be able to pay it back."

Some time ago, Liu Qing brought "national spies" into Huangtu Village, trying to bully Sheng Jiaojiao's man.

Later, he was taken as a strong man by Tan Ji and sent to Dongying to serve in the military.

With a look of sudden realization, Sheng Jiaojiao took the rice bowl that Miss Qi had prepared for Niu Ju, dug out another bamboo basket, put the rice bowl in the basket, covered it with a blue cotton cloth, and said casually:

"No wonder, it is said that things flock together and people are divided into groups. Liu Qing's intentions are not righteous, and this brother of the Xiong family doesn't look like a decent person."

"Fortunately, you two brothers and younger brothers are not as stubborn as these bastards. Let's live our lives well and stop interfering in other people's affairs."

The busy Miss Qi told Sheng Jiaojiao carefully that their Qi family would not lend money to unreliable people anyway.

If you have made money, you should clean up your own home first, and if you have spare energy, you can ask the neighbors and folks to help you.

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded in agreement, and went out from the back door of the kitchen with a basket on her shoulders.

Seeing it, Mrs. Zhou leaned her neck and asked:

"Jiao Jiaoer, what are you doing? It's time to eat."

"I'm delivering food to Niu Ju, and she's helping me with my work."

Sheng Jiaojiao turned her head, and just as she finished speaking, she saw Er Niang Qi came in from the sloping backyard with an empty pannier on her back.

Mrs. Qi Er doesn't farm the land now.Instead, he became a shopkeeper, carrying a basket of apples on his back early in the morning, and going door-to-door selling apples in Huangtu Village.

At first, the Qi family only thought that Mrs. Qi was doing something fun, and they were worried that the fourth brother Qi took too much money and collected too many apples from the wandering peddler, which would spoil if they were left at home.

So I let the second lady Qi sell it.

As a result, Mrs. Qi became more and more interested as she sold more and more. Not only that, but I heard that she made money every time, and never lost money.

It's just earning more and earning less.

Sheng Jiaojiao was surprised and asked:

"Second aunt came back so late today?"

Normally, Mrs. Qi's basket of apples would be sold out before lunch, but today she didn't come back until dinner.

The second lady Qi raised her head, and when she saw Sheng Jiaojiao, a loving smile appeared on her originally cold face, and she said:

"I went to Huangguo Village today."

Huangguo Village?Isn't that the village of Tan Ji and the others?

Sheng Jiaojiao was a little curious.
"Someone in Huangguo Village also buys apples?"

"No, the apples have already been sold out. I saw that it was still early, so I went to a nearby village for a walk. I collected some embroidery work in Huangguo Village, and I want to sell it at the fair tomorrow."

After saying that, Second Lady Qi put down the empty pannier on her back, and took out a few handkerchiefs from inside to show Sheng Jiaojiao.
