Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 203

A few days later, the weather was fine and the sun was plentiful. Taking advantage of the continuous sunny days, Xiuyao collected sweet potatoes and dried them in the sun.As usual, Xiuyao asked Di Dan and her children to help, and Qin Decai's daughter-in-law recovered from her illness, so he also came to help Xiuyao's family.

Xiuyao discussed with her parents, not to let him help for nothing, but to give him twenty Wen a day, for three consecutive days.Although there was not much money, but there were few places to make money in the countryside, Qin De was naturally willing to come.In addition to him, there are several poor families who want to come to make money, but the Qin family doesn't need so many people, so the Liu family politely declined, saying that they will ask everyone for help when they live too much in the future.

When there are many people, things are easy to do. When collecting sweet potatoes, Xiuyao and the others don't have to do heavy work. They just help arrange the dried sweet potatoes. Even Qin Xian didn't ask him to ask for leave to go home to help, and just concentrate on studying.

While harvesting sweet potatoes, they dried raw sweet potatoes and dried them. At the same time, Xiuyao and Xiurong also found a few young wives from the village to set up pots of sweet potatoes in the field, and they continued to dry sweet potatoes every day.The grass at home was not enough to burn, so Qin Dafu took Qin Yexiuxian to Fenghuang Mountain to cut firewood and came back to burn firewood, but the firewood was also very hard.

After working for more than half a month, the sweet potatoes have been harvested, and the raw sweet potatoes are dried in the field, and the pot is still set up in the field to continue drying the sweet potatoes.Qin Dafu and Qin Ye bought a dozen or so large glaze jars laid out in a row, very imposing.Xiuyao and the others dried [-] catties of sweet potatoes and dates, and stored them in large glaze vats. She would continue to dry them later. She also asked her aunt to dry sweet potatoes and dates today, and put them in large vats.With the stock in stock, it will be convenient for her to deliver the goods when the time comes.Except for Liu An and others, the most important thing is shopkeeper Feng, who wants as much as he has, and then ships it out.

As soon as Fudou was made, Liu An drove the donkey cart to pick up the goods, and paid all the money for the goods, a total of 7000 taels. He paid for a small silver ingot of five taels, and the other two coins were two hundred taels .Years and years later, Xiuyao estimated that they would sell these.In addition, Sun Dacheng had three hundred catties, and she wanted six pennies per catty, a total of [-] pennies.Later, Liu Fei sent a thousand catties, plus the rest of the house that was newly dried, a total of fifteen hundred catties, which was sent to shopkeeper Feng.Six coins per catty, a total of nine coins.

Xiuyao calculated their shipments, and it is estimated that they will not be able to sell them all year after year. The remaining sweet potatoes can basically be ground and fed to pigs.However, for the sake of scheduling, she still asked her grandpa to keep some fresh sweet potatoes.Her family planted five or six acres of sweet potatoes, but my grandfather's family had about ten acres, all for raising pigs.

Everyone was busy today, Liu asked Xiuli to come to Xiuyao's house, and Xiuyao was cutting ripe sweet potatoes, so she handed the knife to Xiurong and told her to go and have a look.

On the way, she asked Xiuli what was the matter, and Xiuli said: "My aunt said that someone came to the house, so I asked you to go and see."

Xiuyao was puzzled, when someone came to the house, she had to be entertained by her father's house. Why did she still look for her? Could it be that she came to buy goods?All the way to the house, when I entered the door, I found a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy sitting in the yard.

Seeing her come back, the young man stood up quickly, and Liu Shi introduced to Xiuyao, "This is Boss Jing's eldest son, named Jing Liang."

Xiuyao hurriedly said hello to him, calling him Brother Jing.

Jing Liang is seventeen years old this year. He is honest and honest. He is not handsome but he is not ugly, especially his straight nose, which gives him a bit of heroism, but he is not particularly tall and looks small.When he saw Xiuyao, he bowed to thank her, Xiuyao quickly jumped away, waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Jing, what are you doing?"

Jing Liang thanked gratefully: "Thank you Miss Qin and Auntie for saving your life. If it weren't for the money you borrowed, my mother's illness would not be cured. My mother is already cured. I'm thinking about repaying it."

Xiuyao asked him to sit down with a smile, without being restrained, "No, it's just a little thought from us, and it can't help too much."

Jing Liang insisted: "But you saved our family. I have to pay back the money. I have to pay back the money, and I have to pay it back."

Xiuyao poured him a bowl of water and put a spoonful of sugar, "Take your time, there's no rush."

Jing Liang plucked up his courage, "I mean, can you sell some lucky beans and melon seeds on credit, and slowly save money to pay off the debts."

Xiuyao was delighted that he was willing to do it, "Of course I can, as I said last time, if you are willing, we will give you credit."

Jing Liang was very happy, and thanked him again and again, Xiuyao asked him how much he wanted, and he said: "I'll give you fifty catties first, and come back when it's sold out."

Xiuyao agreed, and took a notebook to keep the books for him, and asked her mother to help him load the goods.

Jing Liang brought his own pockets. His father has always been in this kind of business, so there are still methods to prevent moisture and insects.Xiuyao's moisture-proof and insect-proof oil-paper bags are still learned from them. I bought tung oil to soak the cloth bags, dried them, and then sewed two layers.

After Jing Liang took the goods, he didn't linger too long. He pressed his fingerprints on Xiuyao's bookkeeping book, and then walked away behind his back.After he left, Mrs. Liu said something sensible about this child, "Yaoyao, if we can help, it doesn't matter if he doesn't make it."

Although [-] Wen is not a small amount of money, and their family is not rich, they still want to help.What Xiuyao wants to earn is big money, and there will be countless [-] Wen earned in the future.Moreover, she felt that doing business in ancient times relied on sincerity, and when her business grew, she also relied on good reputation.It was very necessary and useful to have a good reputation in ancient times.

This is also a kind of investment, which can not only help people show their kindness, but also get rewards.

When the rest of the family learned that Xiuyao had lent Fudou melon seeds to Jingtu, they didn't say anything. Qin Xian now knew the seriousness and could read, so he couldn't say anything more.Xiurong has some opinions, she thinks there is no need to help an irrelevant person, but now she also listens to Xiuyao, after all, Xiuyao leads everyone to make money, and she also saves pocket money, which is beautiful.

Mrs. Zhang knew about it, she was so angry at home for a long time, and she came to scold her again, but Xiuyao would not listen to her, and whenever she came to Xiuyao, she used excuses to hide out.Mrs. Zhang wanted to say that Mrs. Liu, Xiuyao's loser, didn't care about it, and Mrs. Liu didn't bother to tell her more. She said that Xiuyao earned the money, and she could give it to anyone she wanted, making Mrs. Zhang roll her eyes.

She shouted angrily, "It seems that in this life, I don't expect that girl to give me any money."

Naturally, Xiuyao would not take the initiative to give her money to spend. The family should pay for the pension, and she doesn't care about the rest.In other words, parents don't care about her, don't let her take the initiative to give money out.She is not a magnanimous person, but she gave it to Jingtu because she has a business relationship with Jingtu, and the two cooperated happily. She sympathized with Jingtu and it was also a kind of charitable investment.She was too lazy to use any brains, quarrel with her, or perfunctory with Mrs. Zhang. This was complete ignorance.It's useless for Zhang Shi to be angry, because Xiuyao didn't give her a chance at all.

All the sweet potatoes in my family have been harvested, those that need to be dried are dried, and those that need to be stored are hidden. The few acres of cotton have also been pulled out of firewood, and the family's farm work is basically done.However, all the grass in the house was burned up, Xiuyao and the others burned up the sweet potatoes, and Qin Dafu and the others also burned up all the firewood they chopped, and they had to chop it up if they needed it.

Xiuyao discussed with Qin Dafu, "Father, stop chopping firewood, it's so tiring. Those thorns in our house can be cut for fire."

Qin Dafu felt distressed, "How can I burn a fire, and keep weaving baskets."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Father, our baskets and baskets are enough for several years. Anyway, tomorrow's note is still long, and tomorrow we will make it up."

Qin Dafu was still a bit reluctant, he still wanted to cut cattails and strips, weave shoes and baskets, which could be sold for money, used by himself, or given away to others.

Xiuyao didn't want him to be tired, so she persuaded: "Father, you weave a pair of shoes every two days. It's too laborious. You can't sell them for twenty yuan. Why don't you do something else. We raise pigs, sheep, chickens, and rabbits. It’s making money, and it needs manpower.”

Qin Dafu also said: "I can be busy."

Xiuyao was in a hurry, "Father, you have to set your sights on the future and earn a lot of money, don't just think about those few pairs of straw sandals." It's not hard enough to make such a few pennies after working so hard.

Qin Dafu smiled innocently, "Come on, listen to my daughter."

Xiuyao was happy, "Father, let's cut up the strips and burn them, and we have to buy some more firewood. Whoever has more will buy it, buy one thousand catties, and burn it hard in winter." To save the firewood at home, I have to go Hugging the grass, a little heat on the kang, freezing to death.

Now that you have money, why don't you rush to improve your family's life?

Qin Dafu said with a smile: "If you buy at a loss now, the firewood will be heavy, and you will buy it when you feel lighter."

Xiuyao chuckled, "Father, if our family can't afford food, let alone heavy, we won't buy it. Now that we don't have to worry about food and clothing, why should we worry about the little money. They sell grass to make some money. Money is nothing more than subsistence, let’s give as much as we can. I guess one hundred and eighty cash is enough to buy a stack.”

Qin Dafu felt the same, he was too short-sighted, with shallow eyelids, not as far-sighted as his daughter, he said with a smile: "Come on, listen to my daughter."

The two of them wandered around the farms around the village, saw a few, bought a total of four stacks of firewood, and piled them in their own farm.The third grandpa saw it and said, "Dafu, what kind of grass did you buy so early? Your own family hasn't burned it yet. Besides, you bought so much and it rotted in the yard. It's better to wait until you don't have enough grass. It’s more than twice as much.”

Qin Dafu smiled: "Grandpa, it didn't cost much. Yaoyao said that she sells grass to make a living, so we don't care about the money."
