Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 87 Chapter 87
After discussing with each other, the two decided to keep only about [-] catties of taro to eat for themselves, and sell the rest.

As for how many catties it weighs, we have to wait for shopkeeper Liu to come and weigh it.

The two baskets in the morning weighed a total of 450 catties, which is four thousand five hundred Wen, four and a half taels of silver.

After finishing everything, watching Li Changhui move the bamboo baskets outside, Lin He rubbed his waist and counted them.

"This basket weighs more than 200 catties, eight baskets, that's [-] catties, a total of more than [-] taels of silver."

A little discouraged, last time Li Changhui went hunting, he sold a total of more than thirty taels.

These twenty taels are the fruit of several days of labor by two people.

You don't need to look at Li Changhui to understand the meaning of the little cook, and said: "It's a lot. You must know that most ordinary people, except for daily expenses, may not be able to save a tael of silver a year."

Lin He was shocked: "So few?"

She knew that it was not easy for everyone to earn money, but she didn't expect it to be so little.

A tael of silver?
What can one tael of silver do?

Whenever there is an illness, a few taels of silver are gone.

Could it be that Li Changhui made too much money?

That's why she had the illusion that two 30 taels were worthless?
Li Yu on the side also began to stare: "It's a lot of money. One tael of silver can buy a hundred catties of meat, and twenty taels of money can buy more than a dozen big fat pigs."

He is older than Li Hao, so he is naturally more aware of the purchasing power of one tael of silver.

Even Lin He, whose original concept was still somewhat vague, was surprised: "This, this is indeed quite a lot."

Twenty taels of silver, it sounds like nothing.

But she understood the dozen or so big fat pigs.

Blinking and looking at these bamboo baskets in the yard, it's all money!

White silver!

One bamboo basket is two hundred catties of pork!
Sure enough, it was Li Changhui who was so capable that she didn't know the sufferings of the world for a moment!

But Lin He soon came back to his senses.

"Brother Hui, in the past two years, taro should be able to make a lot of money. Let's sell some land suitable for growing taro first. We will grow more varieties next year. After a few years, there will be more people growing taro, so we will definitely not be able to sell at such a high price. gone."

Li Changhui nodded: "Well, since we can find this on the mountain, it means that there are other places. We have planted it, and others will recognize it. Even if we don't sell the seeds, others will definitely be able to find it."

Lin He signaled to Li Yu to bring her a stool. The little man was full of energy. He squinted on the bullock cart for a while.

Lin He leaned back on the chair, feeling somewhat regretful: "Brother Hui, let's bring back two rocking chairs. When we are enjoying the shade in the yard this summer, it's so comfortable to lie on the rocking chairs and fan ourselves."

Li Changhui happened to take out the last basket, and upon hearing this, he only glanced at Lin He, only to see his longing and contented face, as if he had already sat in a rocking chair.

"it is good."

Lin He quickly retracted his imagination: "Let's not talk about it, we sold taro today, and the news will spread throughout Xiang'an Village within an appointed hour, and everyone will definitely go to the mountains to look for it."

"Whether you can find it or not, after the autumn harvest, they will definitely ask us to sell the seeds, especially the yield of this taro is very high. Even if it is worthless, as long as it can be eaten, everyone will plant it."

And she guessed that the aunt and aunt's family would also try to save some taro as seeds, but it would definitely not work until next spring, as the taro would go bad when the weather was hot.

Now I regret sending so much out.

It's not that I feel sorry for the money, but I feel that the gift is too much, and I'm afraid they won't be able to eat it all, and it will rot and be wasted.

However, Lin He didn't regret it for too long, and put aside just one thought.

Li Changhui: "It doesn't matter, if someone buys it, sell it. When the time comes, you set a total amount, how much to sell in total, until it is sold out; or each family can only buy as much, and don't sell if there is too much."

Lin He listened, and felt more and more that his idea was right: "Buy land! I'll go and have a look tomorrow. If there is wasteland near the river, or unowned land, it's best, don't get entangled with others."

Li Yu has been squatting beside Lin He, listening carefully to the conversation of his parents, and now he frowned and said: "Mother, I bought too much land, can't I grow it? Why don't I buy it when my brother and I are older? "

When he and his younger brother are older, they can help with more work. Now the younger brother can only help take care of the younger brother, or sweep the floor, light the fire and so on.

Although he can go to the field to help, but his strength is limited, he can only help with some light work, not too heavy work.

"Besides, my mother is not in good health and can't do heavy work. If I buy too much land, my father will definitely not be able to handle it alone. Not to mention the waste of the crops, I still have to pay taxes."

Every year, some of the food harvested in autumn will be taken away by servants. The adults say that it is tax payment. If someone’s harvest is not good, they will cry after paying the grain, saying that the family will be hungry.

Although he is young, he has seen many such things.

He was very worried that if the family bought too much land, they would not be able to grow it all, and because they paid too much tax, the family would have no food and would be hungry.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head.

Looking up in a daze, he saw that his mother had just withdrawn her hand: "Stupid you, taro is so profitable, it's not good to find someone to pay for it, you have to grow it yourself?"

Thinking of this, Lin He quickly stood up: "No, no, brother Hui, bring back two more baskets, let's make more varieties!"

Look at how stupid she is, this first year, only their family grows taro, naturally they can grow as many as they can!

Li Changhui didn't refute, turned around and took two more baskets back.

At this moment, Li Hao also pointed to the distance: "Father, mother, bullock cart."

A bullock cart came from the other side of the bridge. If there were no accidents, it should be Shopkeeper Liu and the others.

Lin He hurriedly urged Li Changhui to hurry up and move directly to the bedroom, don't put it in the utility room, lest shopkeeper Liu see it, in case he persuades them to sell them all.

Shopkeeper Liu is not stupid, this time the store has pushed out the taro, and other restaurants in the town will get the news soon, maybe they have already got the news.

When the taro harvest season comes, everyone will definitely want to buy it.

So buying more now and earning the most money first is the businessman's consideration.

Their home is still far from the bridge. Li Changhui moved two baskets into the bedroom, woke up Li An who was sleeping, and carried them out together for Li Yu and Li Hao to watch. At this moment, the ox cart just got off the bridge. .

Before leaving, Li Changhui told shopkeeper Liu the exact location of his home and his name, but it was the first time he came to Xiang'an Village, and he still couldn't find it directly, so he asked other people on the side of the road where Li Changhui lived.

As a result, when the bullock cart came this way, there were already many people following behind.

Lin He clicked his tongue twice, look, what she thought just now was right, if everyone sees that this taro is so valuable, there must be a lot of it next year.

Even when the taro grows in their fields, everyone will recognize it, and many people will go to the mountains to look for it.
