Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 39

Liu Qingcao clenched her hands into fists, supported her chin, and was thinking.

She thought, if the dividends are paid out at the end of this month, it should be feasible. However, it will not work if the time is too long. When the vegetables mature and bloom, they can only feed chickens and pigs.

Or, first plant a small part of cabbage, radish and cucumber, hire three or four people, and build a small shed to do it first?

Liu Qingcao thought of this, looked at the sky, shook her head and sighed.

This won't work, the weather is too hot, not to mention that pickled vegetables are easy to spoil, the salt consumption is astonishing, it is feasible to make dried vegetables, but now there is no extra vegetables, go to the street to buy, after figuring out the cost, you can't make much money For a little money, this business cannot be done.

After thinking about it, Liu Qingcao decided to open up wasteland and fertilize first. This year, he will lead the villagers to pay the tax first, and the rest can be released first.

All her investments are in Huibailou. If there is a problem there and there is no income, all her plans here will be broken. Therefore, the next thing she has to do is to go to the town to find another shopkeeper to cooperate with. , It's just that this cooperation or something, she hasn't thought about it yet.

Cloth shop to buy art?The patisserie offers new pastries?Or do something else?
"Ah, no way, the land is still too small, which affects the performance..."

Yes, the level of consumption in the town is not bad, but it is only limited to the big families, like their village, they have exhausted their strength to survive, and there is no extra money to engage in all kinds of things.

Those rich people, once they spend in Huibailou, will not go to other places to spend. After all, a person's appetite is only so big. If they do something else by themselves, it will definitely affect the dividends of the restaurant.

It’s okay to buy pastries, but the cost is too high, and the selling price is too low to make money, and the selling price is too high to make money.

The level of consumption is not good, even if you have eighteen kinds of martial arts, you have nowhere to display them.

She has not yet been able to leave this place and live in the county, so some ideas have to be shelved for now.

In the evening, Liu Qingcao ate dinner and made cold tofu, smoked the mosquito-repelling wormwood alone, sat in the small courtyard with the breeze blowing, and looked at the stars in the sky.

She had forgotten how many years ago she had seen such a starry sky. Anyway, it was when she was very young, and she didn't know when it started. At night, there were no more stars in the sky, and some were just the halo of moonlight through the clouds.

"It's so beautiful, so good!" Liu Qingcao exclaimed as she looked at the beautiful night sky with a satisfied smile on her face.

Yes, when there are no worries and worries, people will have time to appreciate beauty and discover beautiful things.

If she doesn't have enough food and clothing right now, why would she want to sit here and look at the stars, and feel that the sky full of stars is beautiful?
The summer evening wind blows away the tiredness of the body, and Liu Qingcao wakes up from sleep the next day.

The old man Niu said yesterday that he was done with his work and could go to the town to deliver the goods.

When the old man Niu came to help, Liu Qingcao had time to arrange for the villagers who came to open up wasteland today.

After breakfast, the old man Niu took Luo Shiyuan and a cart of goods, and drove the ox cart to the town.

Liu Qingcao cooked a large pot of mung bean soup and put it in a bucket, and carried it to a shady place in the wasteland, waiting for the villagers to come.

Not long after she arrived in the wasteland, two brothers, Jiang Dafu and his daughter-in-law, each carrying a hoe, came into Liu Qingcao's sight first.

Liu Qingcao looked at the person who came, but she didn't know their name, because she didn't know many people in the village, or in other words, the whole village didn't know many people at all, let alone familiarity.

Seeing people approaching, Liu Qingcao hurriedly got up to meet them, and when she saw someone who was not much older than herself, she called out brother and sister-in-law.

"Both elder brothers and sister-in-law, are you here so early?" Liu Qingcao gave a big smile with the corners of her mouth parted.

Jiang Dafu put down the hoe, looked at the endless wasteland, and said with a smile:
"It's getting late, and it will be bright in a little while, green grass, right? The four of us will each open an acre first, and then we will continue to open after an acre has been opened."

"Okay, I'm going to get some paper and write it down now, so it's not easy to make mistakes and miss it."

Liu Qingcao took out a cut-out paper book and a fine brush from the cloth bag, and in front of the four of them, wrote the name, the number of acres of land reclamation, and the location of land reclamation.

After writing it, Liu Qingcao read it to them, Jiang Dafu Jiang Dayin was surprised that Liu Qingcao could write and write.

But Wang Chunhua and Wu Yulan were amazed that Liu Qingcao was eloquent and bold at such a young age, she was not at all different from the people in their village, if she looked a bit like someone, she was a bit like her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law was not like the woman in front of her. As wanton and free and easy.

Liu Qingcao didn't care about the subtle expression changes on the faces of several people, and directly picked up the firewood ash in the dustpan, and went to divide the acres for the four people.

In this era, weights and measures are unified, but one mu of land takes up a lot of land. If you measure it squarely and add plant ash, the willow grass will be exhausted.

It took Jiang Dafu and the others a while to pick up stones, cut trees, and weed grass in their own area.

They saw a lot of villagers arriving one after another. Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Some greeted tentatively, some were timid, some were frightened, and some had bright eyes.

Liu Qingcao saw it all, didn't say anything, just smiled, and patiently confirmed with them the information she needed.

After registration and allocation, Liu Qingcao looked at the thick paper and began to count.

The people who came to open up wasteland this time came from every household more or less, but most of them were under 25 years old, and few were in their thirties. No one came.

There are a total of 36 households in the village, and there are only about 150 people in the village. Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are about [-] people who can come. It takes three people to work two days to get out of one mu of wasteland.

"It will take three or four days to open up the wasteland. During this period, I have to add more money to let the villagers pick up branches and leaves for the opened up wasteland, set fire to the land, and then dig the land..."

Liu Qingcao looked at the villagers working hard, writing and drawing in a notebook by herself, and at the end of the calculation, she was shocked.

She found that if the land was to be opened up to grow food, she would have to invest a lot of money in it.

It costs almost 20 taels to open up wasteland, burn fire and plow the land back and forth, and then hire someone to carry water, plant the land, pull weeds and pick vegetables, which is another sum.
Alas, what a pity to see, I only have a fortune of forty or so families, but I actually went to do things for hundreds of families, Liu Qingcao covered her face and sighed.

After registering the information, things were about the same, Liu Qingcao went to find Jiang Dafu, told him that there was mung bean soup under the shade of the tree, let him distribute it later, and went back when he still had something to do.

She didn't do anything else when she went back this time, but went home to prepare for ways to make money.

There are many things she wants to do, and she can't do it without a lot of money.

"Oh, I still have too much heart and too wide steps, it seems that I have to take it step by step."

Liu Qingcao shook her head, reflecting on her own shortcomings.

After this analysis, Liu Qingcao found that she really had a bigger appetite. She thought that she came here with modern civilization, and her survivability was many times stronger than that of people in this era. Therefore, she looked down on petty troublemakers. make money.

I don't like this, I don't like that, if this doesn't work, that won't work, and in the end, nothing happens.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingcao shook her head mockingly, she thought she was drifting away, luckily she found out in time, otherwise it would be too late to regret after suffering a big loss one day.
