After the cannon fodder mother wears the book, the male protagonist's son is more expensive tha

Chapter 224 Interesting Past
Fourteen set the price for chili, fresh chili is [-] Wen per catty, and dried chili is [-] Wen per catty.Of course, they don't have dried chilies yet, only fresh ones.

Although the spice itself is expensive, there are very few spices that are as ridiculously expensive as her chili peppers, which are comparable to rare things like rock sugar.There are only [-] or [-] peppers in a catty, which costs four to five yuan a piece.

If those who picked peppers for her heard the price she sold for, they would definitely exclaim: "This is gold!"

However, this price was determined after repeated consideration by Fourteen.

First, as chili peppers have initially entered the market, the consumer group she is targeting is not ordinary people, but a group of people who are able to accept new things and can afford them.

Second, there is currently a large blank market waiting for them to open up, but the peppers she can provide in the first year are limited.She plans to keep at least a quarter of the peppers produced in the [-]-acre land for seeding, and use the remaining three-quarters to develop the market.

In the 21st century, the yield of peppers can reach 3000 to 5000 catties per mu of land. In this era without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the yield is of course incomparable with the era of science and technology.

Judging from the first batch of picking, it is estimated that the output of her 500 mu of peppers per mu is about 800 to 20 catties. With 10000 mu of land, the total output in the first year is 16000 to [-] catties.

This number seems large, but it is not worth mentioning compared with the large blank market.Even if there are no Guliang County and Yuliang County, and only sell in Huangliang County, the peppers that can be sold are far from filling the demand gap.

Who made Huangliang County's geographical location special?Selling novelties at this trading hub, why worry about no sales?
Third, things like crops are not patented inventions, and she cannot control them forever in her own hands.So take advantage of the first few years to make some quick money. After making this wave of quick money, presumably the cultivation of chili peppers should become common, and then they should transform.

Of course, this is something later, so I won’t mention it here for the time being.

……

Just as Tong Yang expected, the shopkeeper of the restaurant didn't argue with them too much about the price at all. He was only slightly surprised when he heard the price, and then agreed to order a hundred catties of peppers from them first.

The first order was negotiated, with a turnover of [-] yuan.

"Master is worthy of being my master." Coming out of the restaurant, Qi Xian sighed, "You are good at walking darts, and you are even better at doing business!"

The admiration and pride on his face, as if Fourteen is powerful, means that he is also powerful.

"Ms. Xiao is really amazing." Lin Er couldn't bear to be excited when she sold for [-] yuan at once, "This is what our Sanlang said to me most often."

"By the way." Qi Xian asked, "Second Brother Lin, when did you meet Master? How did you meet?"

During the conversation, the three of them walked to the side of the carriage, Lin Er went to drive the carriage, while Qi Xian and Tong Yang got on their horses.

"The first time I saw Mrs. Xiao was at Qiong Yaoju." Lin Er jumped into the carriage and drove the carriage forward while answering Qi Xian's words, "At that time she hadn't been a bodyguard yet, and she took Xiao Lang with her. Jun went to eat, and I received him."

"By the way, I remember that time when people from Gu's Escort Bureau and Changshun Escort Bureau were fighting, two waves of people hit Mrs. Xiao's private room, and almost injured Mr. Xiao Lang. Our shopkeepers all went up, La Ye Don’t dare to pull, and can’t be persuaded.”

"And then? What's my master's reaction?" Qi Xianlai became interested and almost hurt Ah Yan. Can master easily let go of those people?

"Drive." Lin Er sat on the shaft of the chariot, lightly waved his whip, and let the horse go in the direction he designated, "then they annoyed Lady Xiao."

Qi Xian: "And then what? Master is not kidding when he gets angry."

Lin Erguanzi had sold enough, and continued: "Then Mrs. Xiao hugged Mr. Xiao behind the screen and asked him to stand inside and not come out. After settled Mr. Mr. Xiao, she walked into the middle of the two groups of people fighting .”

"Both the shopkeeper and I were terrified, but after she entered, no one could get close to her. She was moved and beaten, and a group of people were beaten to the ground in the blink of an eye."

Qi Xian had an unexpected expression, and said: "They don't even look at the place when they fight, and it's their own fault to be taught by Master."

"All of us present were shocked at the time." Lin Er continued, "She is a young lady, so thin, she can beat a group of bodyguards who have been running darts all year round."

What Lin Er didn't say was that Mrs. Xiao was supposed to be very poor at the time, and she didn't look like a noble person now.At that time, she was wearing shabby clothes to go to the restaurant. Anyone who looked like a peasant woman from the countryside would have thought that she was a real person without showing her face?
Just looking at that time, I am afraid that the shopkeeper of Qiong Yaoju would not have imagined that in just one year, Lady Xiao would become the present Lady Xiao.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing Tong Yang smiling, Qi Xian asked.

"It's nothing." Tong Yang said, "It's what Brother Lin said that reminded me of what happened when Mrs. Xiao first came to the Escort Bureau to apply for a bodyguard."

When he was halfway through his words, Qi Xian already knew what he was referring to.So she gave him a hard look and motioned him to stop talking.

It is enough for limited people to know such a shameful thing, but he still has to face it.

As everyone knows, what happened when he entered the Huangliang Escort at the beginning of the [-]th year has become a legend passed down by the population of the Escort. Every time a new wave of people joins, they will learn about Xiao Niangzi's legendary deeds from their predecessors.

And the glorious deeds of Qi Xian, who became Fourteen's direct disciple, were naturally included in this legend, and were told to the newcomers in the Escort together.

It's just that when everyone talked about the part about Qi Xian, they all carried him behind their backs, and he didn't know it.

But he didn't know, Tong Yang did.And he was still thinking, as someone who also witnessed that incident, Lin San had already chatted with his own brother when he was chatting.

So Qi Xian glared at him, but he just smiled without saying a word.

Qi Xian didn't want to understand why he had this expression for a while, but he was relieved seeing that he had no intention of continuing.

As for Lin Er next to him, he was also very winky.Seeing the eye contact between the two, he quickly guessed what the riddle they were playing was.

"By the way, I also heard from the third child of our family about what happened after Mrs. Xiao joined the Huangliang Escort." He said in an ordinary manner, "Especially when she fought against the Changshun Escort on the first day, she was beaten by the people of Huangliang County." Something to talk about."

"Qi Xian, I heard that you became Mrs. Xiao's apprentice on the first day." Lin Er held his whip and gave Qi Xian a thumbs up, "You are really amazing!"

"Hahahahaha!" Tong Yang couldn't bear it anymore, and burst out laughing loudly.

"...um..." Lin Er couldn't bear it anymore after holding back for a while, and then laughed, "Hahahaha..."

Qi Xian's face turned red and green, and he gritted his teeth and threatened, "Stop laughing! You guys want to fight, don't you?"

"I won't fight you, and I don't know martial arts, so I definitely can't beat you." Lin Er said.

Tong Yang glanced at it, and the meaning was very clear: Are you sure you want to fight?

……

When the three of them came to the second restaurant, Fourteen had already prepared two dishes in the kitchen, and the shopkeeper and chef of the restaurant were tasting them.

Because the first family had the relationship with the governor's office, Lin Er didn't have much room to play when discussing the list.Coming to this second house, his good eloquence finally came into play.

So Qi Xian and Tong Yang looked at him all the time with his eloquent tongue, and he was stunned by the shopkeeper of the restaurant.Finally, relying on "we just came out of such and such a restaurant, the shopkeeper of that shop ordered two hundred catties of fresh peppers from us in exchange for a recipe", successfully sold two hundred catties of peppers, left them an address, and agreed Pick up tomorrow.

"No wonder he is someone that Master values." Although Qi Xian was still annoyed by Lin Er, there was no lack of admiration in his tone, "His mouth is specially made for business."
