Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 120

The Jia family just buried vegetables in the ground, which is not bad.

There is also Xungui's house, where a charcoal fire is lit in the house at twelve o'clock in winter, and leeks, cabbage and radishes are grown.

And even though Jia Lian doesn't understand farming, he also understands that because green vegetables have to be planted, they can roughly control the maturity time.

But when the hot spring peach trees bloom and bear fruit in winter, it really depends on God's will.

If it is Chinese New Year, put a few neatly stacked large red and bright peaches to worship ancestors and entertain relatives and friends, it seems that 50 taels and 100 taels are really not expensive.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Lian had an embarrassing expression.

No money.

Also reluctant.

But he probably felt that his relationship with Shi Zhongkui was enough, and he was also Yingchun's big brother.

He smiled and said, "My dear brother, because your second sister-in-law has to take care of the internal affairs of the Rongguo Mansion and take care of the errands of the restaurant at the same time, let your second sister-in-law look up?"

Fortunately, Jia Lian didn't say to give some rewards to go back and taste, otherwise Shi Zhongkui would be difficult to do.

Pretending to be hesitant, he thought about it for a while, then sighed in a low voice, "Second brother already said that, brother will be too petty if he talks too much."

After speaking, he got up and walked out of the study under Jia Lian's embarrassed and expectant eyes.

After waiting for an hour, Shi Zhongkui walked in with a food box.

"Fortunately, my little brother went to another house to fight the autumn wind, and finally got 24 together, but this time there are big and small."

Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, and soon felt that this was right. At the same time, she felt that Jia's mother must have carefully selected the eight peaches before sending them over.

Shi Zhongkui opened the food box, pointed to Taozi and said, "Second brother and second sister-in-law take four, my father-in-law and Mr. Zheng both get four.

Two for Big Brother Zhen, one for Baoyu, Brother Huan, Brother Rong and Brother Lan.

The remaining six have to be sent to Xue's house, lest Brother Pan come to trouble me tomorrow. "

"It should be, it should be."

Jia Lian nodded hurriedly. There are only 6 people in Xue's family, but there are 18 on his side, which is a big advantage no matter what.

After a few seconds, he asked hesitantly, "What about the second sister?"

"Hey", Shi Zhongkui held his breath, his face slowly turned red, and then he sighed, "I can't do anything about it, the third and fourth younger sisters must be indispensable to send Yingchun.

I can only wait for Yingchun to marry and give her a few more every year from now on. "

"It's easy," Jia Lian immediately said with a smile, "Two of them will come out from me, one for Yingchun, and half for the third and fourth sisters.

Moreover, there is only one male, such as Baoyu, so there is no objection to such a division. "

This is indeed true, but Shi Zhongkui also thought that although peaches would appear to be extremely rare, but Miss Jia's family is half a person, 100% will gossip, or even intentionally spread rumors.

When outsiders hear this, they don't care whether your peaches are rare or not.

He just thinks that his brother-in-law is so stingy, and he has to pay half of each person to eat a peach.

Talking about this worry, Jia Lian suddenly became embarrassed.

And he knew Shi Zhongkui's scruples, it was really possible.

But he didn't dare to subtract from Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's division.

"Wait."

After finishing speaking, Shi Zhongkui turned around and left with a smile.

This time, Jia Lian didn't make him wait any longer, and he came back in half an hour.

"Eight for the old lady, four for Mr. Jing from Ningfu, plus Jia Cong, sister-in-law, three sisters and cousin Lin, exactly 18."

"Why is my brother so forthright this time?"

Shi Zhongkui sat down on the chair, "That bastard got my scientific research experience, of course it's refreshing."

Jia Lian instantly mistook Taozi for the so-called Chang'an scholar.

Unexpectedly, Boqian was doing spice business with that person before, and now he got hot spring peaches from him.

Thinking of the Lishan Hot Spring in Chang'an, which had royal palaces and even gardens in the Qin and Han Dynasties, Jia Lian suddenly became suspicious.

Afterwards, Shi Zhongkui said what he wanted to say the most, "Fortunately, I don't suffer.

Every year, I exchanged letters to help that virtuous brother and the children in their family to check their studies and obtain the ownership of the 10 peach trees in the hot spring valley.

It should be enough to just eat at home every year in the future. "

Jia Lian's eyes lit up. If a peach tree bears 100 catties a year, wouldn't that be 5000 taels of silver?

If you are lucky, if the result is 10,000 taels a year ago.

"Isn't my good brother able to earn 100,000 or [-] taels of silver every year?"

After hearing what Jia Lian said, Shi Zhongkui quickly shook his head and said, "Second brother, what are you thinking, even if the peach tree grows in the hot spring valley, the temperature in winter is still not as good as in summer and autumn.

A tree bears 100 fruits, and at most 6 to 70 can mature.

In addition to transporting them all the way in winter, in addition to preventing bumps, we must also think about how to keep them warm. It is a fluke that 50 of them can be preserved in good condition.

In case of a snowstorm, once the peaches are frozen, after thawing, there will be no one left.

Otherwise, do you really think that other people burn more money and rush to buy it for 50 taels of silver? "

Jia Lian nodded repeatedly.

Then I calculated in my heart, compared with the size of the peaches on the table, 50 peaches weighed about 25 catties, which was 1250 taels of silver.

If it was years ago, wouldn't that be 2500 taels of silver per tree?

After deducting shipping costs and other expenses, ten trees earn 1 to 2 taels of silver a year?

This is greater than the annual income of the Rongguo Mansion on the farm.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Shi Boqian is really not at a disadvantage.

But the huge wealth of the parent's security is definitely not at a disadvantage.

Who is Shi Boqian?
He won five yuan in a row, and even had a chance to win six yuan in a row, the number one in ancient and modern times.

Ask this kind of person to teach his own children every year, not to mention one 20,000 taels of silver, even three 50,000 taels, there are people who are willing.

Not to mention that if Shi Boqian's official career is prosperous in the future, the rewards will be even greater.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian hurriedly bowed his hands to Shi Zhongkui, took two food boxes containing 21 catties of peaches, and hurried home.

Fortunately, he still remembered to send 6 to Rikain.

Then it was sent to Jia Mu's house.

At this time, Jia's mother just finished her dinner, looked at the 18 catties of peaches on the table, and then heard Jia Lian say that these peaches were worth at least 900 taels of silver.

Even Jia's mother felt a pain in her flesh, and even said that these were not peaches, but made of gold.

But told her not to eat, Jia Mu couldn't help swallowing again.

Even though I know that eating melons and fruits that are not in season may cause stomach trouble, but thinking of 25 taels of silver each, I still can't help but want to try it.

Fortunately, although Shi Zhongkui never thought about these taboos, the things grown in the space farm, even if they are ordinary things, are definitely better than those grown outside.

After all, there is still a lot of aura in the space farm.

Although ordinary peaches cannot prolong life, they will definitely not cause stomach upset after eating them.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of time for him to follow Taozi to earn money from Jia's family.

Mrs. Wang and other female relatives also nodded.

After hearing Shi Zhongkui's distribution plan relayed by Jia Lian, everyone looked happy.

But after Mrs. Wang laughed, her heart tightened. Baoyu only got one, and it was the same as Jia Huan and Jia Lan.

My heart suddenly became dissatisfied.

But no one cares about her at this time, and Shi Zhongkui doesn't care what she thinks.

There is even a faint feeling that the more unhappy Mrs. Wang is, the happier she will be.

It is true that this woman eats fast and recites Buddha on the surface, and has a bodhisattva heart, but secretly her thoughts are very vicious.

Mother Jia smiled happily, "It seems that the old woman decided to marry the second girl, and she did marry a good family.

My grandson-in-law is very talented, and he is also a person who understands etiquette and etiquette.It's just two 30 taels of silver and a fresh peach, which makes people reluctant to eat a bite. "

It's a pity that Wang Xifeng was not there at this time, even if other people agreed with Jia's mother, what they said was not as witty as Wang Xifeng.

Then I heard that the Xue family had only got six, and everyone in the Jia family laughed secretly, thinking that even though Baochai was the main wife, Yingchun was no worse than Baochai in Shi Zhongkui's heart.

Just waited to hear Jia Lian say that for these peaches, Shi Zhongkui even wrote a book of his reading experience and imperial examination experience accumulated over the years and sent it out.

Jia's mother immediately smiled, Yingchun and the others frowned, and Li Wan was so heartbroken that he almost stopped breathing.

I also heard from Jia Lian that Shi Zhongkui exchanged the ownership of 10 peach trees on the condition that he taught the other party to read, and he could earn at least 1 to 2 taels of silver a year.

Everyone looked at Yingchun with bright eyes.

As soon as Jia Baoyu muttered "idiot", he was embraced by Jia's mother.

Smiling, he said to Jia Lian, "Since my uncle is looking at Lian'er and Feng girl's face, then you can distribute them to the courtyards and Zhen'er."

Jia Lian quickly agreed.

This is a good job, if Jia Amnesty doesn't say anything, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen will definitely boast.

Even Jia Zhen had to invite him to drink flower wine.

After distributing the peaches, they finally entered Jia She's house.

After listening to Jia Lian's explanation and hearing that his four are the best, Jia Amnesty became satisfied.

Then, just as Shi Zhongkui expected, he began to plan for the 10 peach trees.

"Lian'er, even if my uncle gets married and becomes an official, he will only be 21 years old. Tell me, should I, my father-in-law, help him?"

"This...", Jia Lian felt a headache.

These words are obviously intended to help Shi Zhongkui sell peaches, so that he can make a profit from the difference.

Even in the name of the father-in-law, after lowering the price, and then begging for some filial peaches, the profit will be even more.

But Jia Lian knew that if he objected, 100% would be scolded and even beaten.

The eyeballs turned, "It's good, it's just that the boy is worried that Bo Qian will still take care of the elders in the master's school, and there will not be many left every year.

Moreover, it's not that the second sister hasn't married yet, so it's a bit unfair. "

Only then did Jia Amnesty realize that he wanted to complain about why Shi Zhongkui was an apprentice, but even he didn't have the nerve to say it.

And when it comes to Yu Honggao's school, there are four Jinshi, and more than a dozen Juren.

And what Jia Lian said is indeed correct, Yingchun has not been married, and Jia Amnesty is not qualified to use her father-in-law's status to suppress Shi Zhongkui.

With a sad expression, he waved Jia Lian to leave.

But the next day, when he thought of the 1 to 2 taels of silver a year, Jia She felt as uncomfortable as a cat's paw.

Nothing tastes good, and I always feel that something is missing.

Not surprisingly, Jia Lian ran to Shi Zhongkui again desperately.

"Isn't that okay?"

After hearing Jia Lian's words, Shi Zhongkui shook his head violently, "Second brother doesn't know, besides the examiner, classmates, and friends, my teacher, uncle, and ancestor also have many relatives and friends.

Don't give away more, if the elders of the master's sect lose face because of this, it would be a great disobedience.

Besides, my teacher-grandmother and teacher-mother will definitely send someone to ask for food for their grandson and granddaughter.

If I don't give it, my mentor will definitely trouble me. "

"This,,."

Seeing Jia Lian's embarrassed expression, Shi Zhongkui suddenly said, "Why don't you sell three or five peach trees to Yue Zhang before the news of the peach tree gets out.

Since the Jia family bought it, even if outsiders know about it, they have no reason to share the Jia family's share. "

Jia Lian's eyes lit up, but within a few seconds he asked cautiously again, "That's good, but how can my brother guarantee that the other party won't go back on his word?"

Shi Zhongkui laughed, "In this way, my younger brother guarantees that a peach tree will give 50 catties every year before and after the New Year, and a total of 100 peaches will be given to Yue Zhang.

If it can't be done, I will buy the peach tree back at the original price.

Of course, after several years of giving peaches, the price has to be deducted, otherwise the younger brother will suffer too much. "

After getting this guarantee, Jia Lian felt relieved, "How about the price?"

"10,000 taels a piece."

Jia Lian immediately shook his head, but Shi Zhongkui said, "No second price, otherwise second brother please come back, for Yingchun's sake in the future.

Every year around the New Year's Eve, the old lady, father-in-law and Mr. Zheng will send twenty or thirty catties each year.

The second brother and the second sister-in-law also have ten or eight peaches to give away, and forget about the others. "

"This...", Jia Lian blushed.

As long as Shi Zhongkui's etiquette is not lacking, the Jia family can only praise him.

If gossip spread, the Jia family was 100% embarrassing in the end.

And a gossip about the wealth of the grandson-in-law's family is enough to make Jia's family a plague god that everyone hides in the capital.

"Brother, don't worry, brother will go back and report to the old lady, the elder and the master."

Shi Zhongkui nodded reluctantly, and later sighed, "Hey, now it seems that I shouldn't talk about the peach tree.

Without these words, every New Year's day from now on, Yue's family and Shimen will send a hundred and eighty catties of fresh peaches, whether it's Xue's family, Jia's family, or my teachers, uncles and ancestors, they all have to praise me for my filial piety.

Ask me to ask for it after eating, but it's a favor. "

This is the truth, Jia Lian nodded with a sigh, stood up, cupped his fists at Shi Zhongkui and left.

It's a pity that no one knows, Shi Zhongkui doesn't say anything else, 20 yuan in the space, except for the peach tree that has become a spiritual tree.

The 19 fields are all planted with peach trees, and it is absolutely no problem to weigh 190 catties a day in the cold winter.

Back home, in Jia Mu's room, after telling Jia Mu, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng what Shi Zhongkui had said, Jia Zheng just shook his head.

"My son-in-law exchanged his knowledge for this job. How can my elders keep an eye on my niece's and son-in-law's things and pass them on? How can my old friends see my Jia's family?"

Jia She, who was full of money, quickly argued, "It was bought with real gold and silver, and my son-in-law also agrees. What right do outsiders have to gossip?"

Jia Zheng, who was originally not good at words, had no words to refute for a while.

He could only say, "This is still a bad thing. Besides, my niece and son-in-law said that they would send a hundred and eighty catties of fresh peaches to honor the old lady around the New Year. It is enough for our family to use. There is really no need to talk about money. .”
