Chapter 127 You are a beast
The reason why Chen Xingyan was in a hurry to recover the money was also because the expenses were increasing day by day.

Just to feed these people, at least 500 taels of silver must be prepared in the early stage.

It doesn't cost much to build a house. After all, they are all earthen houses, and these refugees can build them by themselves, but the problem is that there must be some wood and some necessities for life, right?

Where did this thing come from?
It is impossible to fall from the sky, and there is no hope for the county magistrate, so, naturally, this became Chen Xingyan's business.

Since he agreed to the county magistrate, and indeed earned the Lu family a good reputation, no matter how reluctant Chen Xingyan was, he had to pay for it.

Fortunately, the county magistrate promised not to collect taxes on their wasteland within five years, otherwise, Chen Xingyan would really faint in the dormitory crying.

Wang Erzhong went to watch the building of the house, so some chores in the house could only be handed over to Lu Xiaoliu.

Fortunately, there is not much work in the field now, and Lu Xiaoliu is young, so he has driven the family's ox cart several times.

Because the house has not been built yet, people in the wasteland now work during the day and can only temporarily live in simple tents at night.

But because there are so many people, you are squeezing me, and I am next to you, so it is not too cold.

Those who build the house can eat three meals a day, and the meal at noon is dry, with steamed buns served with some hot vegetarian dishes; those who did not participate in the house build have two meals a day, which are all hot porridge, which is still very sticky .

Not to mention that Chen Xingyan was cruel, the main reason was that she was also in a hurry.

The family did have surplus food, but more than 100 people were added at once, and no one could bear it.

The price of grain in the city has risen, so Chen Xingyan didn't think about going to the town to buy it again. She asked Lu Youcai to help her collect some grain a few years ago, but the quantity was still too small.

Lu Laohan went out early this morning, went to two villages one after another, and finally brought back good news.

"Daughter-in-law Daxiong, I've asked all of them. Each of their families has some surplus grain. The price we give is fair. The two villages can probably sell us [-] catties of corn and [-] catties of wheat. "

"Okay, there are a lot of these, father has worked hard today, you can go into the house and have a rest."

Lu Laohan smiled happily: "I'm not tired, I can't help you much with my old bones, and you can still run errands and use your mouth for such a small matter."

At night, Lu Daxiong and his group finally came back.

"It's too late today, let's sell the goods tomorrow."

The things that Lu Youcai bought are all in Lu Xingwang's car. His family's car is now full of his own things, so he is not in a hurry.

Lu Laohan was worried, so he took a look over with the lantern, and finally he called people to take the things down.

The carriage was filled with cloth, and there were two small packages, which seemed to be gadgets bought.

It was too late, Lu's family had already eaten, and Qi made another two fried dishes for Lu Daxiong alone, and the steamed buns in the pot were hot enough after a little heat.

Lu Daxiong ate three big steamed buns in a row, and finished the two dishes before putting down his chopsticks.

Qi looked a little startled: "Master, do you want to cook some more food?"

"No need, you guys go and rest too."

Back in the inner courtyard, Lu Daxiong took out a few bank notes from his arms.

"Here's the rest of the money."

Chen Xingyan glanced at it, oh well, each ticket is 100 taels, which is a lot of money!

"How much does a pot of Rhododendron sell for?"

"Boss He took a fancy to a pot first. He first quoted a price of 300 taels of silver. Later, he invited his friends over and bought them at the price of 300 taels a pot. After I thought about it, I didn't think so. It was suitable, so I only took 200 taels from Boss He."

Chen Xingyan laughed when he heard the words: "That's right, my dull bear finally understands human accidents!"

The corner of Lu Daxiong's mouth trembled slightly, why did he sound like a fool before?

Forget it, my daughter-in-law, it's better not to talk back to her!

"The cloth on the car was pulled from the cloth store I have been working with before. There are not many defective cloths. It will take two or three months to have such a small car next time."

"Okay, I didn't point to his cloth shop either. Don't we have a relatively stable supplier now, and the price he asks is also low, and it saves the middleman."

Lu Daxiong froze for a moment, but didn't quite understand.

"That's right, it seems that those who take care of these flowers and plants can get more money quickly! By the way, you can tell Boss He that he can help me get some other flowers and plants seeds?"

"That's right. By the way, I brought some back. Boss He said it was a peony seed. I don't know if it's true or not. You can see for yourself."

Lu Daxiong knew that his daughter-in-law always cherished these things, so he deliberately kept them next to his body, for fear of losing them again.

Chen Xingyan took it out and took a look, but couldn't tell for a while, so let's talk about it after trying it tomorrow.

"It should be true. We have planted two peonies in our greenhouse. It's just that they haven't bloomed yet. They are delicate. When they bloom, they can be sold at a higher price!"

Peony is even better than Du Juan's market!

It is said that peony is the king of flowers, especially some high-ranking officials and nobles, they have a soft spot for peony!

By the way, there are also some literati and scholars, who often compose poems with peony as the theme, or paint with peony as the scenery.

Tsk tsk, as long as he thinks about it, Chen Xingyan feels that he will be able to sell a lot of money by then.

Lu Daxiong brought a total of six pots of rhododendrons to Fucheng this time, and the income was 700 taels. He also brought several precious medicinal plants to Fucheng, including panlong ginseng and Codonopsis pilosula, and a basket of Astragalus membranaceus. It's really a big deal!
Even after excluding the cost of buying cloth, there are still more than 2000 taels left, which is a lot of money!
With this amount of money, Chen Xingyan didn't have to worry about not being able to support those 100 people!
It's just that Chen Xingyan still feels a little pained when he thinks that these bank notes will soon become someone else's.

Chen Xingyan was about to discuss with Lu Daxiong about buying food, but the dull bear suddenly exerted force and pinned him on the bed, immobilizing him.

"You stupid bear, let go of me, you still have business to say! Ugh! Where do you put your hands? Get up! Uuuu, you, uh..."

Chen Xingyan's mouth is so small, Lu Daxiong has long wanted to shut her up, why doesn't the wife know how to get closer to him?
Lu Daxiong put his hand on her lower abdomen with a little aggrieved.

It's not a short time to get married, why is my daughter-in-law's stomach still not moving?
Is he not working hard enough?
No, he has to work harder, not to let his wife despise him as useless!

Chen Xingyan: No, okay?You beast!
