Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 142 Years Ago
It's already the twentieth of the winter month, and the Chinese New Year is not far away.So after Zhixin and his daughter bought the restaurant, they went back to the town.The restaurant won't open until the next year, it's too late.

Seeing that the twelfth lunar month is about to enter, every household is busy preparing things for the New Year.Zhixin just went back to the mountain and killed all the remaining big geese, and then sent them to various restaurants.This year, there are more than ten pigs raised on the mountain, except for the two used by Jingya to get married, there are still eleven pigs left.Except for the sows, breeding pigs and the ones for the New Year, the remaining five were all sold to the butcher.

The mushrooms on the mountain are growing very well, Jingxian is in charge of these things on the mountain, the little girl is more capable than Jinghan, and these things are done in an orderly manner.Jinghan took the time to talk to Jingxian about her, and told Jingxian the purpose of letting her be on the mountain.Jingxian is a very clever girl, and she understands as soon as she hears it, so she stays on the mountain with peace of mind and manages the two families.

Although Chen was a bit reluctant, but after thinking about it for a long time, she also felt that it was right to do so, and had no choice but to do so.If Jingxian is in the town, locked at home every day, unable to go anywhere, it would be better to be more comfortable on the mountain.

The wine shop of the Lin family is officially going out to drink. Jing Han deliberately followed her father to have a look. The quality of the wine is very good, and it should be the unique secret recipe of the Lin family.So Zhixin led Xingjia, took samples of the wine, went to shopkeeper Sun, and even went to the county.The Lu family has a lot of businesses in the county, among which there are several shops similar to department stores, which happen to be able to sell wine to them.

Knowing that Zhixin was going to the county, Lu Shaoqian specially invited Zhixin and Xing's family to have a meal, and what happened to be the wine from Lin's winery.In the end, Lu Shaoqian felt that the wine was really good, so he made a decision on the spot and made a three-year wine supply agreement with Xingjia.Now, the Xing family doesn't have to worry, more than half of the wine produced by the winery is taken by the Lu family.

Just a few years ago was a good opportunity, and the Xing family quickly sent the first batch of wine over, and the Lin family's wine immediately opened up the situation.

"Brother, thank you very much. If it weren't for your connections, no matter how good my wine is, it would not be possible to sell it so fast." Xingjia was very grateful.

"What are you talking about? We have been brothers for so many years, and Zixuan has become my son-in-law. Of course I have to help. Not to mention that I still have [-]% of the members in the winery. I don't know. Who cares?" Zhixin said with a smile, "The most important thing now is to grasp the quality of the wine. We rely on our relatives to have this market, but don't smash our own brand In addition, you should prepare more food for wine making. When the farming is slack, let’s save more, and when the farming is busy, we have to take care of the work on the mountain. In our farm, the land is the foundation, and your land But there are quite a few, so don't be late and delay the farming season." Zhixin reminded Xingjia.

Lin Xingjia nodded quickly, of course he knew the seriousness.The two talked for a while, and Xingjia left and went home.

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhiming and Wencheng came back. This time, they went out and brought about [-] catties of clubs and a lot of medicinal materials. The money they brought back last time were all taken away from the medicinal materials.When we got there, it happened that the merchant also arrived in a few days, and the money and goods were cleared.Zhiming and Wencheng stayed there for a while longer, collecting a lot of medicinal materials that were lacking in the north, and then sold them to some pharmacies along the way.Going around and going around, I didn't come back until the twelfth lunar month.

When Mrs. Chen saw her son and grandson coming back all the way, she felt very distressed, and told them not to go out again.

Zhiming comforted Mrs. Chen, "Mother, it's nothing. We're fine outside. I don't know if I don't go out. There are too many ways to make money. We went out this time and earned 2000 taels just for the sticks we brought. Well, let alone those medicinal materials, and then came back and sold those medicinal materials collected from the south, and searched again. Mother, I am still young, and Wen Cheng needs more experience. After two years, let Wen Cheng If I can go out by myself, I will set up a shop at home to sell some medicinal materials, which is also very good."

Chen also understands that Zhiming's words are right, but as an elder, she will inevitably feel sorry for her children and grandchildren. "Wencheng, how do you feel when you go out? Well, I told you to study at the beginning. Look at your elder brother and the others. They are all studying in the school now. How can you be like you, who lives in the open air? People see this in their hearts." uncomfortable."

"Grandma, look at what you said, you have to have the talent to study. Brother, they are better than me at studies, and even Wenchang is much better than me. It just so happens that I go out to earn money, and they study. If they Brother Ri and the others can really get a half-time official, and with me behind them, they won't do things that shouldn't be done for a little money. Look at those aristocratic families, aren't they all like this? There is no family whose sons are all officials, and someone has to take care of these things. Grandma, I am willing to do this, without any complaints, really." Wen Cheng hurriedly comforted Chen.

The old man was very relieved when he heard this, "Old woman, you don't have to worry about these things. Now our family is pretty good. Wen Han and the others are taking the imperial examination, and Wen Cheng is doing business. They each have their own way out. That's the best. That's the best. People, children and grandchildren are all in front of them, pointing to the little thing that came out of the field. Then my family did too much, and your family took too much, and the house was full of smog every day, and it made a fuss when I saw it. It’s been like this for a few years, temporarily. We are all together, and when these children are settled, we will divide the family. The brothers will also have a clear score, which will save us from trouble in the future." The old man has long thought about it, but he just didn't say it.His wish was the same as that of the old lady, that is, to see with his own eyes that all the grandchildren will be settled, and that all the granddaughters will have a good marriage.

"Father, it's fine now. It's okay. Brother and I take care of the same thing. It won't delay at all." Zhiming said quickly.

Zhixin also made a statement over there, and the old man shook his head, "When the family business is big, there will always be troubles. It's fine that you two are brothers. What about the future? Our children are indeed good, but who dares to say that in the future It’s okay, don’t think about it for now, let’s talk about it later.”

Zhiming and Zhixin didn't say anything else, and Zhiming gave all the money to the Chen family, and they got back more than 7000 taels with interest.Mrs. Chen couldn't help sighing, it's no wonder everyone has to do business, and the profits in this process are indeed huge. "Third, that's the way it is this year, right?"

"Well, next year we can wait for the mallet to come down and go twice. Ordinarily, we can earn some money on weekdays, but we are too busy on the mountain, so we don't have to worry about it. I have made an appointment with the merchant. It’s fine to meet in Anguo sometime. Let’s make two trips a year, and for the rest of the time, I’ll be helping Big Brother on the mountain.” Zhiming spoke out his plan.

"Okay, it's good if you can think that way. I'm afraid you'll get used to going out, and you'll always run out. This money can't be earned, and you can't spend your whole life on making money. Jing Wan and Jing Xian also Gradually growing up, your mother and I are not too young, so spend more time with us." The old man took a puff of cigarette, and then expressed his thoughts.

Both brothers Zhixin and Zhiming nodded in agreement.

After dinner, the two brothers chatted together. Zhixin told Zhiming about buying a restaurant, and Zhiming also agreed. "Brother, this is the right thing to do. Now our family is gradually getting some extra money, so we can't invest all the money in the land. We can build a few more shops, even if we don't do it ourselves, it's better to rent them out. These things When things are put down, that is property. Land can also be bought, but we have to measure the manpower of our family, otherwise it is useless to make too much land and not enough manpower.”

"Well, that's what I thought too. But it's okay. If it doesn't work, just buy two more houses, and the manpower is almost enough. I've already asked Jinghan to write to Zhixiang, and see if I can buy from there again." A few families came over. Now Guoan, Guoping, and Anfu are at the other end of the winery. Put two in the restaurant in the county seat. You and Wencheng will have to take two with you when you go out. There is not enough manpower at home. We need to employ people, so don’t worry about those of our own family. Buy people in advance and come back, take care of them. Teach me, I will be our right-hand man in the future." Of course, these were not thought up by Zhixin, but Jinghan told Zhixin.

"Brother still thinks in the long term, yes, our family's stall is getting bigger and bigger now, and the manpower is indeed not enough." Zhiming now looks at Zhixin differently.Zhixin has never been educated. If you ask him to do farm work, no one is his opponent. However, he is not proficient in business management.

"That's what Jinghan told me, otherwise how could I have thought of these things. No matter how capable we are, we can't do such a job, right?" Zhixin smiled. "By the way, isn't our father turning sixty next year? We have to take care of it. Our father has been tired all his life, and when he gets old, he should enjoy the blessings."

The old man of the Xu family is 59 years old this year, and he will be 25 next year. People in this age get married early, so they are full of children and grandchildren at a young age.The old man's birthday is the [-]th of the first lunar month, and it happened to be idle at that time, so I made some arrangements, and the whole family just happened to get together.

It's the twelfth lunar month now, and some things need to be prepared in advance, so the two brothers were there discussing what to do for the old man's [-]th birthday, who to invite.After these are settled, we can give people a letter in advance when the time comes, and some people have to send invitations.The two brothers discussed for a long time, and it was Xue Shi and Zhu Shi who came over and called them to sleep, and then the two went back to their rooms.
