Beloved Concubine

Chapter 30 A lot of information

Chen Xiao acts as a peacemaker.

"Okay! It's the first time Chunhong's father and mother came to work in the store, and they have done a good job. Chunxi and Chunya are the ones I want to give them money. What do you think she is doing?"

Xiaoshi pouted, feeling upset, but didn't speak again.

On the second day, Chen Xiao went to Nangou Village to see how the pepper seedlings were growing.Fang Yu and Xiao Shitou also went together.

The real name of Nangou Village is Zhang Ping, and he is the father of Xiao Shitou's friend Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun is a few years older than Xiao Shitou, and works in Sheng'an Company.

"Sheng'an Company" is one of several major companies in Nanyue. It is said that it was jointly established by Xiling Huangshang and Nanyue Huangshang.In today's terms, it is a Sino-foreign joint venture.

"Brother Xiang" who came to eat sliced ​​noodles some time ago is the young shopkeeper of "Ruyi Building" under Sheng'an Company.

Although "Ruyilou" is the best restaurant in the city, it is nothing in the "Sheng'an Company".

There are many industries in Sheng'an Company, the most powerful of which is the mine.Iron mines and copper mines are all controlled by the imperial court, and only Sheng'an Company can do this business.

Fang Yu didn't feel much when he heard "Sheng'an Company" for the first time, but when he heard that only Sheng'an Company could trade ore, he thought of the "Shengtong Company" in Xilingguo.

No way!Could this "Sheng" be the same "Sheng"?

Although suspicious, he didn't take it too seriously.In Shengtong Firm, he only knew the owner.Not to mention the little ones sent to the Nanyue Kingdom, even the big shopkeepers in Xiling, he has not seen all of them.After all, he has never been in business.

Nangou Village.

Zhang Lizheng warmly received Chen Xiao and the others.The last time Zhang Li was going to the snack bar, Chen Xiao made a meal of spicy chicken, and he enjoyed it so much.

At that time he asked, where did Chen Xiao and Fang Yu come from?Chen Xiao lied about Xiling.Zhang Lizheng had a good impression of the Xiling people, and suddenly felt a little closer.

Then came the chili peppers, which Chen Xiao also lied to bring from Xiling.

Zhang Lizheng was puzzled, the people of Xiling had been doing business here for many years, why hadn't anyone brought peppers before?
Fang Yu explained: Xiling has a vast territory and covers thousands of miles. The food customs in the south and north are different. They came from the north of Xiling.

Anyway, Zhang Lizheng was fooled by him, so he believed it.

"Miss Chen, don't worry, we've been growing crops all our lives, and it's not difficult to grow peppers! I remember all the things you told me to pay attention to last time."

"Hehe, I'm not worried, I'm just free today, come and have a look." Chen Xiao said with a smile.She can't say that she is worried.

In the field surrounded by bamboo fences in front of me, a row of pepper seedlings just emerged from the soil and grew two or three leaves.

It has only been half a month since the seeds were sown, and the leaves have already grown. The climate in South Vietnam is really suitable for growing peppers.

Zhang Lizheng said: "When it grows to the height of a palm, I will transplant it out."

If these are transplanted out, about ten acres can be planted.

Looking at these pepper seedlings, Chen Xiao felt that the quantity was still not enough.However, after the peppers of this season are mature, the seeds are left, and the planting can be continuously expanded in the future.

Chen Xiaodao: "There is something, I want to tell you, see if you are interested."

"what's up?"

"After the peppers are ripe, I plan to sell the spicy chicken. There will be a lot of chickens at that time."

Zhang Lizheng's eyes lit up: "How much do you estimate will be needed then?"

"I don't know. I think ten or so a day should be no problem."

She really doesn't know.This is hard to estimate.Ten or so is just a conservative estimate.

It only takes three to four months for peppers to mature, and it takes at least half a year to raise a chicken from childhood to adulthood.No hormone feed here.

Zhang Lizheng silently planned to let the villagers start raising chickens.

Zhang Lizheng did not hand over to the villagers to plant peppers for the first time.He wants to try to plant successfully by himself first, and then let each family to plant.But every family can raise chickens.

Several people chatted for a while, and Chen Xiao left.

It is four or five miles from the county seat to Nangou Village. They came here on foot, and now they are walking back.

Chen Xiao sighed: "It would be great if I had a car!"

Little Shitou hurriedly said, "Shall I go find a carriage?"

Chen Xiao shook his head: "I'm not talking about a carriage."

"What car is that?"

"Two wheels, people ride on it, and can walk with one pedal."

Fang Yu said, "You mean riding a horse?"

"It's not riding a horse, it's riding a bicycle."

Two wheels... a cart?But that's pushing, not riding.

The two of them couldn't imagine what kind of car she was talking about.

Chen Xiao strode forward, looked at the distant sky and said:
"I want to build a car like this!"

Xiao Shitou doesn't know what is the point of sister Chen building such a car?It's not enough to ride a horse directly.

But Fang Yu became pondering: the car she mentioned probably already has one!
It's like there is a kind of "air car" in the spiritual world, which is driven by spiritual energy and is suitable for profound practitioners below Fan Xuan.

He knows the principle of "air car", but it is difficult to realize in this world.One is that it needs a spiritual source; the other is that the person who drives it must at least reach the Earth Profound Realm, otherwise it cannot be controlled.

Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Xiao's neck.

She hid the black stone pendant under her clothes, and the necklace's thread was not even exposed around her neck.

"By the way," Chen Xiao suddenly said to Xiao Shitou, "Last time you said that Ruyilou wanted our formula?"

"Yes."

The last time "Brother Xiang" came to eat sliced ​​noodles at a small restaurant, he first wanted to hire Fang Yu, and then he said he wanted their recipe for toppings and seasonings.

Chen Xiaodao: "Let's go to Ruyi Building and talk business with them."

Little Stone: "Are you really going to sell?"

"Yes. Not only to sell, but to sell a lot."

Chen Xiao wants to build a bicycle.Not just one, she wants to build many.

For some uncertain factors, she has already prepared in the space.The more than 3 million yuan given by my grandmother was not just used to build a house.

……

Ruyi Building.

Chen Xiao, Fang Yu, and Xiao Shitou sat in a wing room.

It's not time for dinner, the young shopkeeper "Xiang Ge" went out.

The waiter at the restaurant found out why Chen Xiao was here, and asked someone to find Brother Xiang.

While waiting, Chen Xiao asked Xiao Shitou:

"How did you know Brother Xiang?"

"I got to know each other when I sold snakes to their restaurant."

"Selling snakes can also get to know the young shopkeeper?"

"..."

Little Stone was silent for a while, and said:

"Actually, my mother didn't remarry. She was pawned by my father to Gao Xiang's uncle."

Brother Xiang's real name is Gao Xiang, and teenagers like Xiao Shitou call him "Brother Xiang".Those who are older than him call him "Young shopkeeper" or "Xiang shopkeeper".Because his uncle also has the surname Gao and is the big shopkeeper of "Sheng'an Company", everyone calls him "Treasurer Gao".

"Pawn?" Chen Xiao has heard of pawning items, but never of pawning living people.

Of course, she had heard of losing a bet at the table and pledging his wife to someone else.

"Our family used to be in the food business. My father was tricked by someone, and our family went bankrupt. There is no way, my father gave my mother's code to Gao Can."

Gao Can is Gao Xiang's uncle.

"At the beginning, it was agreed to be ten years, but then my father died, and my mother gave birth to a younger brother in the Gao family... I don't think my mother will come back after ten years."

Little Stone suddenly became endlessly sad.

Chen Xiao was caught off guard by this "truth".

She wasn't curious about other people's privacy, that sentence was just a casual question.

For Xiao Shitou, he felt that this matter could not be concealed.

Anyone who knew him knew where his mother was.
