Wangfu small peasant girl

Chapter 1465 Watermelon Harvest
Xu Ruyue was really stunned when she found out the inside story of this matter today, she never thought that Ming Lang would have such an identity, so since this is the case, it is reasonable to snatch the throne.

There is no need to say much about what is in her heart, anyway, if every step is taken well, the result will not be too bad, she should believe in Qingming.

Xinchuan's bamboo shoots were sold by Xu Ruyue through various methods, but now the common people have to go up the mountain to cut them and then dry them into dried bamboo shoots, otherwise the raw materials will not be available.

Let’s start from the village where Uncle Chen lives. The bamboo shoots cut from the mountain before really sold for money. The villagers in the village now trust Uncle Chen and his wife very much. When they said they would continue to collect dried bamboo shoots, the villagers were very happy. They scrambled to bring it to the Chen family to sell.

Everyone had the same idea. They didn’t expect that these worthless things can be sold for silver, and they are not cheap. A catty of dried bamboo shoots can be sold for 25 Wen.

They didn't know how long such a good thing could last, so they scrambled to sell it, for fear that Chen Bo would not accept the dried bamboo shoots if he came too late.

This time it was put away much faster than before, Chen Bo and his wife were too busy to do the work in the field.

A villager asked him, "Old Chen, what's the matter with these dried bamboo shoots? You bought so many and bought them for business. Is there anyone buying them?"

Uncle Chen still remembered Xu Ruyue's words, he couldn't give her a confession, that's right, the wife of a big family, how can she come out and show her face, if she wants to do some business, she must hide it.

So he smiled, "Well, I don't know whether this thing can make money, but my eldest brother went outside and heard people say that he can make money, so he took all the money he earned over the years. After I went out to buy dried bamboo shoots, I wanted to sell them for a small business.”

"Oh, it turns out that's the case, so you have to take it easy, you don't know if you will earn money or not and you are so busy, when the time comes to nothing, the money is gone, and you are still very tired, so what should I do? "

Chen Bo and his wife are still very popular in the village. They treat people kindly and have no enmity with anyone. Naturally, everyone will miss them. Hearing what he said now, some people worry about him.

Uncle Chen had no choice but to fool around, "It's okay, it's okay, my brother is still young, and he will grow his memory if he suffers a little bit. If he doesn't do this, he will always think about it in the future, don't you think?"

"Everyone, don't think about us. If you have dried bamboo shoots, sell them. We farm in the countryside, and it's not easy to sell food. It's hard to make money. Of course, we must seize the opportunity."

After hearing this, everyone stopped talking and brought the dried bamboo shoots from home to sell. Every day, people ran towards Chen's house. In just half a month, the room that was used to pile dried bamboo shoots was completely destroyed. There are already several sacks piled up.

The weather in Xinchuan is hot and sunny, and the bamboo shoots are dried very quickly, which is why there are so many bamboo shoots.

Mrs. Liu was still muttering, "Old man, I have already collected so much, do you think that girl knows to come and collect it? What should I do if she is left here and can't be piled up? We don't know where she is. People who don't know how to notify her to come over."

Uncle Chen sighed, he didn't know what to do with this matter, the main reason was that the money that Xu Ruyue gave him earlier had almost been spent, if he continued to accept it, he didn't know where to get the money, and it couldn't be justified For no reason, I told everyone that I would not accept it.

When the old couple was in a hurry, Xu Ruyue sent someone over to take away all the dried bamboo shoots they collected, and at the same time gave Chen Bo 20 taels of silver to continue collecting.

"Uncle Chen, my wife said that not only those from the village, but also those from neighboring villages can be collected. Now that there is a need, of course, the more the better, but you have to check when you collect them. Those that are not too dry You can't take it if you wait."

Silver is a good thing. In the past, these villagers didn't know that dried bamboo shoots could earn money, so of course they weren't interested. Now, seeing others make money, can they not be anxious?

At this time, there will definitely be people who sell the dried bamboo shoots before they are dried. They will get moldy during transportation.

Uncle Chen and Mrs. Liu also thought of this, and they nodded quickly, "Hey, tell that girl, we know, we've been taking it very seriously."

News spread quickly in the countryside, and within a few days, people in other villages knew about it.

They had actually heard about it before, but at that time they thought it was a village thing, and it had nothing to do with them, even if they took the dried bamboo shoots, they didn't necessarily want them.

As a result, I only found out now that they accepted it, as long as it was delivered to the door and accepted.

So what are you waiting for? The opportunity to make money is hard to come by. Men, women, and children all go up the mountain with baskets on their backs to cut bamboo shoots.

It didn't take long, and more and more people went to Chen's house to sell dried bamboo shoots. Xu Ruyue could only ask people to go again every few days.

In other places, the dishes made by Xu Ruyue also attracted the attention of many people. Everyone knows the bamboo shoots and knows that they are edible, but the taste is not good. Subverted their imagination of bamboo shoots.

Everyone is very interested in the dried bamboo shoots and meat sauce sold in the store, and many people are willing to buy it back and try it, and the price is not expensive.

In this way, the reputation gradually spread, spreading more and more widely.

There are more and more dried bamboo shoots produced in Xinchuan, but the selling speed is not so fast. Gradually, the price of dried bamboo shoots will start to drop.

If the price is kept at the previous price, the people in Xinchuan will go up the mountain to chop bamboo shoots like crazy. In this way, the bamboo on the mountain will be destroyed by them sooner or later, and the dried bamboo shoots will be backlogged, and they will not be fresh afterwards. .

After the price started to drop, the hearts of the people were beating. It seems that the momentum has passed, so let's farm the land honestly.

There are fewer people selling dried bamboo shoots, and the supply of dried bamboo shoots is in short supply, and the price will rise again after that.

In this way of constant regulation, a balance was finally reached, and Xinchuan's dried bamboo shoots became known to more people, and the business was considered successful.

The same is true for bamboo fungus, but because not all the people know bamboo fungus, and the output of bamboo fungus is not as good as that of bamboo shoots, the supply is still in a state of shortage, and the price has always been high.

The people in Xinchuan didn't realize at this time that they had earned a lot of money by relying on the bamboo mountain, and these things they had neglected before, and they had never thought about it at all.

In June, Xinchuan's workshop was also built. The Liu family built a workshop and was about to start producing perfume.

At the same time, the watermelons in the field have also begun to mature. Last year, the common people also planted a lot of watermelons, and promised them to help sell them, and they could not break their promises.

And Xu Ruyue still has thousands of acres of orchards, many of which are also planted with watermelons. The weather this year is good, and it seems that there will be a bumper harvest.

While Xu Ruyue was happy, she became nervous at the same time, because in summer, it meant that there might be floods.

She even went out in a carriage to take a look. At this time, the rice in the field was still green, and the ears of rice had already formed, but they were not full. If there was a flood now, it would be really fruitless.

At this time, sighing is useless, and prayer is useless, but it can give people psychological comfort. God, please open your eyes, you can't treat the people of Xinchuan like this.

This year is very critical. If there is a flood, the people will firmly believe the rumor that Xinchuan cannot grow rice. Without this income, when will Xinchuan be really rich?Guarding such a good condition and not knowing how to use it makes people feel distressed.

When the watermelons in the field were ripe, shopkeeper Lin personally brought people to Xinchuan to inspect them, and then bought the first batch of watermelons.

Of course, not all of these watermelons were transported to the capital. Even though the capital was a big place, not many people could eat so many watermelons.

And Xu Ruyue's idea was to let him help sell the watermelon to other places, so only half of it was going to the capital, and the rest was going to other places.

The weather in Xinchuan is hot, and the watermelons ripen faster than other places. At this time, the watermelons are sold there, which is the time to sell them at a good price.

Shopkeeper Lin also spent a lot of capital this year, just look at the team of horses and horses he brought. He is also the shopkeeper of a fruit shop in Anhua Town. How much savings can he have?I'm afraid he borrowed money to do business this year, and Xu Ruyue also admires his courage.

Rather than being bold, it is better to say that he is confident. He believes that this deal will make him money. Even if he is in debt now, he can make it back later.

The first batch of watermelons were harvested from the common people. Now that the watermelons are ripe, the common people’s hearts are pounding. They are afraid that these melons will rot in the field and the government will deceive people. Of course, they must be appeased first.

As for the watermelons in Xu Ruyue's farm, they deliberately planted them a little later than others, just in time for shopkeeper Lin to have someone come back to pull them for the second time.

The people really made money from the melon fields, not to mention how happy they are.

Some people also planted watermelons in previous years, and they sold them in the town for less than a few dollars. This year, the price they offered was much higher than what they usually sold, and they bought so much at once.

The faces of the common people who sold the watermelons were full of joy, while other people who didn't believe it at the beginning regretted it so much now, they didn't expect that they could really make money, and they knew what to grow.

After mid-June, Xu Ruyue became more and more nervous. She was afraid that it would start to rain heavily. Once it rained, it would easily cause floods.

The crops in the field are still immature, and even if they are to be harvested now, they will not be able to harvest food.
