Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 110 Relying on Yourself

"What's less income?"

Lan Lingxue asked endlessly, Li Yongtai didn't understand,

"It's the income from selling flour. You gave us ten taels of silver, but only kept five taels for the shop. Do they have any objections? Aren't you angry at injustice?"

Lan Lingxue thought to herself, if it was me, I would have objections, why occupy my shop, you earn more than me.

"They still dare to have an opinion. This is the flour I begged for. A bag of flour in the shop can sell for six or seven hundred yuan at most. If customers want more and it is a good harvest year, sometimes a bag of Flour is sold for five hundred renminbi, but it is the flour that has been recovered from real gold and silver. Now, a bag of flour of mine has made them enough five liang of silver, and they have no capital. The ten taels of silver people still don't want to provide us with flour. They are dumbfounded when I say this. If there is no flour provided by our little Lanzi, let alone a bag of five taels of flour, they can't even sell other grains. , You can always be happy when you are content, they understand this truth.”

Li Yongtai thought about what happened to him in the early years, and said that it was impossible not to care about it, but, for the hundreds of people in the clan, if the Li clan really collapsed, it would not be a family or two who were ruined, he really Reluctant to let it go, the current flour can drive other grains in the shop to be sold continuously, which is already a good thing they can't wait for. The money for flour is partial, and it falls from the sky. My daughter earns a lot of money.

"Girl, can you give me more flour this year than last year?"

Li Yongtai looked out of the window subconsciously, but the window was too high for his sight to pass through.
"I think the wheat in our field is growing well. This year's harvest should be higher than last year's, right? How about selling more to the capital?"

Farming the land itself is for the family's life. If you can sell the grain for more money, then everyone will be happy. Besides, if you sell more money, you can also help the clan. This is a good deal that kills two birds with one stone.

"I really don't want to give too much to the capital, godfather, it's worthless if you give too much."

If this kind of flour is sold all over the capital, who would care about it? It is because of its scarcity that it can show its preciousness.
"But what if it's too little, and the price of someone else's flour is fried? Why don't we let it out by ourselves, girl, actually think about it, how many people can afford our flour? After all, it's 15 Two silver a bag of flour, even if they raise the price to buy flour, they can’t actually buy a lot, I think, as long as we balance the market, we don’t sell too much, and we can afford it , try to let them all buy it, that’s fine.”

This also involves a face problem. Since everyone knows that this flour is good, but other people have it, but they don’t have it. , Eat our flour and still scold our family, why not let them buy flour at a reasonable price from our own hands, and they will also receive their own favor.

"If you can buy it, is the flour still worth so much money?"

Lan Lingxue is still very worried about the saturation of the market. No matter how good things are, if the supply exceeds the demand, the things will be worthless.
"I only said that I can buy it, but I didn't say that I could buy enough. I will try my best to let each family buy less, but more families can buy flour. In that case, it will not violate your hunger sales law. , on the contrary, more people can eat our flour and make them more willing to buy, don’t you think so?”

It has to be said that these ancient businessmen were all shrewd, and they could draw inferences casually, which raised Lan Lingxue's hunger selling rules to another level.
"Succeed, I'm not familiar with the situation in the capital. I just sit at home and make wild guesses. It's still based on my godfather's thoughts. Then godfather, tell me, how much more is appropriate?"

"I think it's almost enough to add another three to four floors. As you said, there are too many things that are worthless. I will keep these three to four floors in the warehouse until someone asks for them. , No matter how embarrassing it is to sell it to him, they say it is reserved for their own family, and if we give it to him, our family will have less, so they will cherish this favor so much."

I have to say that Jiang is still old and hot, and these favors may also be useful in future business.

"Godfather, it's really exhausting for you to come back from such a long distance to fetch food. Let alone the road is too far away. I'm afraid that it will be rained again on the way, and the wind will blow. If you can buy land on the edge of the capital Well, then you don’t have to run all the way back to fetch food.”

Lan Lingxue was still very sorry for not being able to buy land in the capital. It had been half a year since she asked Uncle Meng for help last time, and there was no letter back, so it probably couldn’t be done.

"If it doesn't work, I'll find a way to buy some more land in the county. It's closer to the capital than here. Moreover, there is our own shop in the county, so we can take care of it."

Lan Lingxue was imagining it here, but Li Yongtai was overjoyed.
"Girl, your idea is very good. Otherwise, I'll go back and ask the clan. The clan has more than 3000 mu of land in the suburbs of Beijing, but there is no human race. The people in the clan are all in various shops. So, then All the [-] mu of land has been rented out. Now the clan’s food source mainly depends on the grain harvested from various shops in various places. The food harvested by itself does not account for the majority, and the income from the [-] mu of land in the suburbs of Beijing is also low. Not too good, I'll think of a way to see if I can sell the land to our family."

Godfather, where are you from?Considering both sides, your plan is really good.

"The land in the suburbs of Beijing is expensive, how could the clan sell it?"

Lan Lingxue had no illusions,
"Then maybe, the rent for the fields that are being rented out now requires six and a half floors, and the remaining three and a half floors of the tenants are struggling to live by themselves, so there is no way to increase it, and the six and a half floors rented by our clan If it is harvested and sold every year, it can’t be exchanged for much money, because the land is too expensive, and it seems that the things grown are not worthwhile. If it is for those rich and powerful families, where to buy a village, not to sell food, It’s just for my own family to eat and live, that’s a status display, it’s still worth it, after all, having a Zhuangzi is convenient for travel, but if it’s just for business, that piece of land is really not worth it, it’s like chicken ribs , It’s tasteless to eat, and it’s a pity to throw it away, but it will be different if you can sell it to you. You can provide our family with the highest quality food, and the price is high, and the income of the family will be relatively increased. Compared with them Occupying that piece of land for nothing is much better than having no benefits every year. Moreover, there is one most important factor, which I think is the key to the success of this matter. Our family’s food is only sold by our clan. This should It is the most tempting in the clan."

"Then try it quickly, godfather, if it works, I really want to thank godfather."

It's really hard to find anywhere, and it doesn't take much effort to get here. Lan Lingxue is a little frightened. If this thing can be done, it will really solve a big worry for her.

"If the negotiation is successful, the price will be very high. Little basket, you have to think about it. If our family buys land in the county, when the harvest is harvested, even if we hire a car to take it to the capital, it will be cheaper than that." It’s a good deal to buy land.”

Lan Erzhuang poured a bucket of cold water on his head. To buy land in such a far place, there are too many things to prepare in every aspect. It is not so easy to hire people alone. Such an expensive field, if there is no A good man looks at it, then he is waiting to die at a loss,
"Father, our purchase of land in the suburbs of Beijing is just the first step. I'm doing it for our family. You see, Xiao Hoe has finished his county school and passed the exams for Tongsheng and Xiucai. He must continue to study in the capital, and then take the exams for Juren, Jinshi and so on, when the little hoe enters the capital, my mother will definitely follow, then I want to open our family's Lan's delicious pastry shop in Beijing. Fundamentals, in case something happens, we can count on something to rely on, relying on others is not as good as relying on ourselves, what others have is not as good as our own, don't you think so, Daddy?"

Lan Erzhuang never thought that his daughter had already thought so far for this family.

"Girl, although what you said is reasonable, it will be very difficult to implement. There is no one on our side. It is [-] acres of land. It costs a lot just to hire labor, and you have to hire a leader. The capital city We don't know the place well, if we don't hire good people, we'll be wasting our time."

Lan Erzhuang's worry was not superfluous, but it was really unnecessary.
"Brother Er Zhuang, what you said is that you are not familiar with the place where I live. I am not an acquaintance? When I get to the capital, I am a landlord. I was born, grew up, married, and had children in the capital. Xinfa Town is not me. The hometown, the capital is."

"Yeah, I forgot about that."

Lan Erzhuang patted his head,

"Besides, this is my own daughter. No matter who, I have to take care of my daughter's affairs."

Lan Lingxue was so moved that she nodded,

"Then it's settled. When I go back to Beijing, I'll discuss it with the people in the clan. If it works, my daughter won't have to ask for help."

"I know godfather loves me the most."

Lan Lingxue was lying on the table acting like a baby, and Lan Er felt goosebumps all over her body when she saw it.

"Godfather, I'll cook something delicious for you, and you can chat with my father for a while."

Lan Lingxue got up to cook for Li Yongtai,

"Girl, I heard from your fourth cousin that the rice you cook is delicious, but you have to cook more for your godfather."

The thought of Li Siwa praising the craftsmanship of her niece and younger siblings when she returned to Beijing made her drooling,

"Don't worry, godfather, I promise to make your mouth full of flavor."

Lan Lingxue left the house and went to the kitchen to prepare delicious food for the two fathers. The two fathers also chatted happily in the house. When the food was served, Li Yongtai found out that Li Siwa's description, That's too bad, it's delicious, isn't it delicious?
