Unlimited supplies: Bringing space to the supermarket to keep the right minister

Chapter 280 Help him

The wild vegetables that Jiang Haiqiu sent are very fresh and clean, full of fresh young shoots, without any yellow or old leaves. It seems that they have been carefully selected at home.

Yu Xiaolian immediately decided to make an egg sauce for the night. Don't disappoint such a good bitter vegetable sprout.

"Father, don't return the empty basket, you put some sweet potatoes or potatoes back for him."

Yu Changhe nodded, "The Jiang Mangzi family is very difficult. I heard that his parents favored the youngest son. After cleaning up the autumn last autumn, they separated Jiang Mangzi's family of three and only gave him a peach garden on the mountain in the south. They didn’t even give them an acre of land, and the house Jiang Mangzi lives in was temporarily built by someone last fall, and the family lacked food and clothing.”

Mrs. Sun has also heard about the Jiang family, "We don't know what Jiang Mangzi is like, but his daughter-in-law is notoriously talkative, and she spends all day in the village talking to each other. Anyway, it's quite annoying. Son."

Yu Changhe said, "It's okay, our family doesn't have close friends with them. I'll pack a basket of sweet potatoes for him in a while and tell that child not to come to deliver wild vegetables again."

Mrs. Sun hummed, "The kid from Jiang Mangzi's family is pretty good. I heard from Qi Lizheng's wife that the peach orchard of Jiang Mangzi's family was full of peaches last fall, and they couldn't be sold. Later, he This young man took Taozi to the city a few times, but he didn’t know what to say, and he didn’t know who he sold it to, but he sold all the peaches anyway.”

Yu Xiaolian gnawed at the watermelon for a while, alas, this young man of the Jiang family is a sales talent.

Yu Xiaolian asked excitedly, "Father, how big is the Jiang family's Taoyuan?"

Yu Changhe shook his head, "I don't know how big it is, but I heard that Jiang's and Ding's peach orchards are the largest in this village, and the other families plant a few trees in the backyard for their own food. The area around Los Angeles belongs to half In the mountainous area, the land is steep and there are many peach trees, and in autumn, they can’t be sold for much money.”

Yu Changhe heard from Qi Lizheng that a grown man can get two acres of land here, or ten acres of mountain land if there is no need for land distribution. There is no food to grow on the mountain land, and there are all peach trees, big and small.

There is little land here, and when the child becomes an adult, there will be no surplus fields in the village, so he will be given mountain land. This was the case when Jiang Mangzi was an adult, and he was given ten acres of mountain land.

Those who settled later, like Yu Changhe and the others, could only buy wasteland to develop themselves, and they couldn't buy good land at all.

Only Mr. Sun's family bought good land. It was because the Li family's son had been promoted and developed, and the whole family moved away. This kind of opportunity is rare.

Yu Xiaolian had eaten peaches from Taohua Village before. They were yellow peaches, delicious and sweet.

With so many peaches, if she doesn't use them, she will be in vain. Canned yellow peaches must be arranged.

Yu Xiaolian wiped her mouth with a tissue, and went to the door with Yu Changhe.

After asking, I found out that Jiang Mangzi's family had a [-]-acre peach orchard.

Jiang Haiqiu explained in a loud voice, "My father divided ten acres, and I divided ten acres."

That's right, the two of them are unlucky couples. When they were adults, no old man died in the village, so they had no fertile land to share, so they could only be forced to acquire mountain land. The reason why his grandparents favored his uncle was also because of him. My uncle and his cousin both have fields, and if there is land, there will be food. Only when there is food, can the family be supported.

Now he is only looking forward to selling all the peaches in July so that he can buy some food for the winter.

Last year, he ran all over the streets and alleys of Los Angeles, and it took a lot of effort to sell all the peaches. Although the price was low, he was very happy to be able to sell them all.

He only hated the imperial court's laws that did not allow people to open up wasteland for free, otherwise he would be able to open up a few acres every year. If there was land, his family would not have to worry about food and drink.

Although there is no way to grow food in the mountains, this spring, he picked large and small open spaces in the orchard and planted corn. If there are no conditions, he will create conditions. If there is no good soil, he will go to other places to dig black soil. Take a load and go up the mountain.

Last fall, his grandparents suddenly wanted to separate the family, which caught them off guard. This fall, he must have money and food, so that his grandparents dare not look down on them anymore, hmph.

Jiang Haiqiu is different from his father, Jiang Mangzi, who is big and round, strong and powerful. Although Jiang Haiqiu is not short, he looks very delicate, not like a rural rough man.

Yu Changhe handed him Jiang Haiqiu's basket. Seeing that the basket was full of sweet potatoes, Jiang Haiqiu looked flustered. After taking the basket, he wanted to pour out the sweet potatoes, but was stopped by Yu Changhe.

Yu Xiaolian's expression was also a little dazed at this time, this Jiang Haiqiu looked too much like a person, "You take this sweet potato, I still have something to ask you!"

Jiang Haiqiu was stunned, what can I ask him?

He thought he had no ability, so he was very confused at the moment.

Yu Xiaolian asked, "What kind of peaches are there in your [-]-acre peach grove? How many catties per mu? About how many months will they mature?"

Jiang Haiqiu didn't know why, but he replied honestly, "My peach grove is full of yellow-fleshed peaches. I sold about [-] catties of peaches in my [-]-acre peach grove last year, but I managed the peach trees well this year. If you are careful, you should be able to charge more than last year.

The peaches can be picked and sold around the end of June, and they are very ripe around the middle of July, and in August, there are fewer and fewer peaches. If they cannot be sold, they will rot on the mountain. "

Yu Xiaolian nodded, now it is the end of May in the lunar calendar, that is, in more than a month, the first batch of yellow peaches will be picked.

It's just that the yield of the Jiang family's peach grove is too low, only [-] mu can produce [-] catties, how sparsely should the peach trees be planted?
"Is there any place to sell your peaches this year?"

Jiang Haiqiu scratched his head, "Not yet!"

Last year, he and his father went out to sell peaches in the streets and alleys, but they didn’t sell many. They didn’t have many other things in their area, but there were many peaches. When the season came, this seasonal fruit Most worthless.

Last year, he still struggled to sell two carts of peaches from his family to a candied fruit shop, and later sold them to a cart in a Los Angeles brothel through a friend, so it was not rotten on the tree.

Although last year they sold them sporadically for nearly seven taels of silver, but at that time they hadn't separated from his grandma, and all the money they earned went to his grandma.

When the family was separated, his grandma only gave his father five liang. They built a thatched house and bought pots and pans. The family of three survived the winter by eating corn paste, and even the corn paste made by her mother can be seen in the shadows, so they couldn't survive until the wild vegetables sprouted.

Thanks to the Yu family who lent them half a bag of corn balls, otherwise, they really didn't know how to spend the time when the rice was not harvested. During the days when the corn noodles were finished, his father went to his grandma to borrow food, but at that time the food It was the most expensive time, and her grandma had food in her hands, so she would rather sell it to other families in the village at a high price than give them food for nothing.

Jiang Haiqiu knew that her grandma didn't want to see his mother, but he didn't expect his grandma to be so cruel that she didn't even care about her own son and grandson.

From then on, Jiang Haiqiu was extremely disappointed with his grandma, and from then on, Jiang Haiqiu secretly vowed in his heart that he must live a good life, let his grandma see it, and make them regret it.

Yu Xiaolian asked again, "Last year, how much did you sell your peaches for a catty?"

Liang Haiqiu smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's available for as much as a catty, and I can buy it as a car at a cheaper price, selling it for two cents per catty, and selling it for three or four pennies."

"So... I want all the peaches from your family this year, and it will be calculated at three Wen per catty. When you pick the peaches, you will send the peaches to my house." Inexplicably, Yu Xiaolian has a good impression of Jiang Haiqiu.

He looks a bit like her cousin from the previous life, really similar, when Yu Xiaolian saw him for the first time, she was in a daze, as if seeing her relatives in a foreign country, very unreal and uncertain.

She could have given the Jiang family a pound of money, but she didn't.

She wanted to help him.

Jiang Haiqiu was startled, three pennies and a catty, all of them?
If he has all of them, it means that he doesn't have to go to the street to sell them, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell them and rotting in the ground.

And three thousand catties, no, maybe four thousand catties can be made this year, and they don't have to hand over Taolin's money to grandma this year, so he manages it very carefully. In winter, everyone stays at home, but he Pruning and clearing the orchard, he would carry loads of water from the river to water the fruit trees in spring, and he was often busy from morning to night.

Let him do the math, if it's four thousand catties, he... oh, four thousand catties, he can earn twelve taels, oh my God... Jiang Haiqiu suddenly felt that he and his father were unlucky people who didn't get a land. The two are clearly lucky stars.

No, he had to keep this matter under wraps and not spread it, otherwise his grandma would have to take the orchard back and be puzzled if they heard about it.

Although he won't give it to them, it's not wrong for them to make trouble.

However, what does the Yu family want those peaches for?Could it be that you want to make all of them candied fruits?

Oh, how much sugar do you need?
Jiang Haiqiu thought for a while, and then asked, "Why do you need so many peaches? These peaches are not easy to store, unless they are made into candied fruit, they can be stored for a longer period of time."

But even if it is made into candied fruit, it will not last forever, and the preserved fruit must be eaten within a certain period of time, otherwise it will go bad.

Yu Xiaolian said, "I have my own use, you can just send peaches when the time comes."

Seeing that Yu Xiaolian looked like she had her own sales place, Jiang Haiqiu thought that she had found another big buyer and wanted to make a profit, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After saying thanks, I went home with a basket of sweet potatoes.

Back home, his mother had already made wild vegetable soup. Seeing Jiang Haiqiu coming back with a basket of sweet potatoes, she was very surprised, "Where did you get the sweet potatoes? Why are there sweet potatoes this season?"

Liang Haiqiu put the basket on the ground, "The Yu family gave it."

Zeng smiled, "It has to be a rich family. The cellar is dug deep, and last year's sweet potatoes are well preserved."

As he said that, he picked out three sweet potatoes from the basket and asked her man Jiang Mangzi, "There is still fire in this stove, how about I burn three more?"

　Please recommend tickets, my sons.
