Villager of Daming

Chapter 874 Profits return as soon as the phone rings

During the Ming Dynasty in the seventh year of Hongwu, the most prosperous place was naturally Nanjing, and together with Yingtian Mansion, it became the most prosperous city in the world.

The second palace of the Ming Dynasty was not Yangzhou Palace, which had a hundred thousand guan in its pocket and rode a crane down to Yangzhou, nor was it Zhenjiang Palace, Suzhou Palace, or Hangzhou Palace.

It is Ningguo Prefecture. Ningguo Prefecture has been deprived of the welfare of Xiaqiu Village for five years. To be precise, Xuancheng County has been deprived of the welfare for five years and other counties have been deprived of it for four years.

Ningguo Mansion itself has the Four Treasures of the Study for sale, plus chestnuts and so on.

In other places, except for those who have not received the news, they are just waiting and watching, such as Taiping Mansion.

The officials of Ningguo Mansion, from top to bottom, were united and united to help borrow money and rent livestock for the people to use.

Whenever something good appears in Xiaqiu Village, it must first be tested by Ningguo Mansion. With the opening of the Rouge River, a large number of things enter Nanjing through the canal.

At this time, the people farming in Ningguo Mansion were waiting to harvest wheat, rapeseed, and ramie.

In fact, they are not idle. They raise rabbits, bamboo rats, poultry, livestock, grow vegetables, grow lotus flowers, and plant perilla, purple flowers and other crops along the roadside.

The rice seedlings are being cultivated, and the land is freed up to grow cotton. Each household in each village exchanges part of the land to focus on growing cotton. They need to hand over part of this land, and keep the rest for making clothes.

Those who have ready-made dwarf mulberry trees also allocate manpower to raise silkworms. This is not because they cannot afford the money, but because they are afraid that the silkworm seeds will be exhausted. The local silkworms are adapted to the local things and climate. Just give money to make up for it.

Keep the silkworm seeds and plant shorter mulberry trees in Xiaqiu Village! It looks like it will work, so I find a place to plant it myself. There are good spinning machines in Xiaqiu Village. Spinning and weaving can save manpower.

As a result, people came and went on the streets of Xuancheng County, the administrative office of Ningguo Mansion. The people had high spending power, and their average income was six times that of other places.

A large amount of poultry and eggs are sent to Nanjing by ship every day to feed so many people who cannot raise poultry.

Especially in the army, a soldier must eat at least one egg a day, no fried, fried, or steamed egg custard, only boiled eggs.

We also need to eat meat. The supply in other places is unstable, so we prepare it from Ningguo Prefecture, and others from Taiping Prefecture.

The convenience area of ​​Ningguo Mansion was placed next to the government office. Businessmen arranged manpower here, and some businessmen even sat in person.

"Brother Gong, why don't you go out for a walk? Maybe there will be some goods to go today, let's keep an eye on them."

In a single room in the convenience store, there lived two young people, about twenty years old. One of them had a mole on his nose and made a naive suggestion to the other, who was pretty and pretty.

"How many times have we said that our surname is Nangong and our given name is Xiaojiu. Wu Liuzi, you can either call him Brother Nangong, Brother Xiaojiu, or Brother Jiu." He corrected the other party's mistake with a clear face.

"Okay Brother Gong, shall we go out?" The man named Wu Liuzi was obviously more concerned about going out.

"Go out, go downstairs, and wait by the phone. If the shopkeeper calls, we have to answer it. If you are late, you will be fined. You will be charged for two minutes!"

Nangong Xiaojiu said as she opened the door and went out. When she reached the first floor, she turned around and walked down a long corridor before arriving at the phone room.

There are people waiting here. There is only one phone, which lasts two minutes. The people here don't want to call unless something really happens, but they don't know if the people over there will cooperate.

The key point is that as soon as a call is made, money will be collected and the line will be occupied. At the same time, the manual exchange is also exchanged.

While everyone was watching, the phone rang suddenly. The person sitting there picked it up and said, "This is the convenience office of Xuancheng County, Ningguo Prefecture. Who are you looking for? Nangong Xiaojiu? Is there anyone named Nangong Xiaojiu? Hang up first without me. We’ll call you back when we come back and let’s calculate the money together.”

"I am, I am, my name is Nangong Xiaojiu, I'm here."

Nangong Xiaojiu trotted over, looked at the others, straightened her chest, and then sat down to answer the phone.

"If you don't call, get out and don't listen to other people's calls." The person in charge of the phone stood up and drove others away.

Everyone had no choice but to go out one after another. If they walked slowly, they would be pushed by the person in charge. They were talking about something!

Three minutes later, Nangong Xiaojiu walked out of the door, trying her best not to show any other expressions on her face, and pulled Wu Liuzi over: "Go out to eat."

"Brother Gong, what did the shopkeeper say?" Wu Liuzi asked loudly. "There are many foreign workers in Nanjing and they are short of salted duck eggs. I will send 200,000 of them over. Don't be in a hurry. Let's eat some toppings and noodles first."

Nangong Xiaojiu said in a normal voice, just like chatting.

Other people at the door waiting to come in and continue watching the fun: "..."

The two people had already left this position and turned into the hall next to them where they were selling items.

Nangong Xiaojiu didn't care about Wu Liuzi. He was a naive man and a good fighter. He was responsible for protecting him and he took the money.

He scanned the orders and wanted all the orders that could still provide lotus roots. After the Grain Rain, it would normally be a month before the lotus roots could be picked.

But some people harvest it slowly, and it gets more expensive at this time. Some people deliberately keep it until now, betting on whether the weather will be hot or not. If it is hot, the lotus root will taste better.

The shopkeeper over there called and asked for as many lotus roots as he wanted. He had to be quick, collect all the orders, and pay the deposit so that no one else could take them away.

"Brother Gong, this is lotus root! I know it. Didn't you say you want salted duck eggs? You should look for the oily ones."

Wu Liuzi realized something was wrong and reminded him seriously.

"I misremembered, it's not oily salted duck eggs, it's lotus roots. Look for it quickly. If you know it, help me find it."

Nangong Xiaojiu did not explain, but directly admitted her mistake.

"Have you ever made a mistake? You want to treat me to a meal later, or I will tell the shopkeeper that you made a mistake."

"Okay, look for me quickly! Please, I was wrong!"

"There are two of them, why don't they put them together? I'll look for them again."

When Wu Liuzi was looking for it, Nangong Xiaojiu had already taken the order and ran over to give him the money. When the person in charge received the deposit from him for the order, he was relieved.

Immediately afterwards, someone ran in, gasping and shouting: "I want all the orders for Ou Root, where are they?"

"Here I am, it's the last one, I picked it! Hehehehehe..."

Wu Liuzi also had seven lists in his hand. He reached out and took off the other one on the wall. It was gone.

"Give it to me." The man who ran in stretched out his hand.

"Are you stupid? What our shopkeeper wants is for you? Are you going to give me wages? Brother Gong, do you think that's okay?"

Wu Liuzi despised the other party and gave the order to Nangong Xiaojiu.

Nangong Xiaojiu took out another treasure banknote to pay the deposit, then took the receipt and went to eat. People continued to come in outside, looking for the sales order of lotus root.

I found that there was no selling order for lotus root, so I quickly went to the shopping hall to place an order.

"Liuzi, what do you want to eat?" Nangong Xiaojiu was happy. After collecting and sending it over this time, she could earn more than 200 yuan.

This is really the list, if you want more or less, you can make so much profit for the usual phone bill, so the wait is not in vain.

"For pancakes, add more green onion and coriander, more sauce, more eggs, more..." Wu Liuzi counted on his fingers, that's...

"I know, I'll buy you two sets." Nangong Xiaojiu understood.
