Hard work

Chapter 133 An Unexpected Benefit

In Aozi Village, the heat effect brought about by the story of Liao Zhai that was spread before has lasted for a long time, and the people in the village have gradually gotten used to the feeling of being talked about by people outside.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, more people come to Aozi Village to buy mountain products.

Before slaughtering pigs in the village, they would call the butchers in the town directly, go to the village to kill the pigs, and then weigh the pork and sell it to the butchers.Every time a pig is slaughtered, it will basically use some pig paws and pig tails to make miscellaneous stew, and invite people with good relations in the village to have a meal of broth.

This is probably the happiest day in the village. Apart from Chinese New Year, the only time that many people can eat meat may be such a day when pigs are slaughtered.

There will be an appointment in the village to ask the butcher from the town to come to the village and kill all the pigs.

If the price is not good, some people are willing to keep the pigs until after the Chinese New Year.At that time, there were fewer people selling pork, and the price of pigs would increase.

Many people in Aozi Village are kind-hearted.Although the mouth is broken, after all, the heart is good.Therefore, the Zhao family's son can often drink some broth at that time.

And people like Yan Dalang who often work part-time in various households can receive things distributed to him by various households at this time.It doesn't have to be meat.Usually, they send some things grown in their own fields, and there are also various vegetables.So Yan Dalang usually eats a variety of things.

The meat is delivered by someone with a better environment and a kinder heart.

If it's like the rich man's family, of course he won't distribute the meat to the helpers.

There are also some families whose environment is not very good, and they don’t have much meat left to eat, and naturally they can’t give meat as a thank you gift, so they just ask Yan Dalang to eat a meal of broth.

Everyone in the village knows each other well, and Yan Dalang is not the kind of person who chases after things.

The environment at home is really bad, so he felt that it was enough to share the broth and give him some food.

As for the good environment, Yan Dalang was given more meat. When the next spring begins, he will first help that family do all the work well, and then go to other family's affairs.So as long as they have the ability, they are willing to send some meat to Yan Dalang, and they don't need a lot.Yan Dalang is not a greedy person either.

Lan Hua'er always suspected that when he used to cook by himself, he actually went to the back mountain to catch rabbits or something for extra meals.It's just because he has good skills and doesn't often dangle around the village with his prey, so everyone doesn't know about it.

This year, because many merchants came to the village, those who originally planned to call the butcher to come to the village to kill pigs, the pigs at home have already been settled early, because these pigs are meat pigs produced in the authentic Aozi Village .

And these businessmen are smart.

They knew that many people outside were selling under the name of "Aozi Village", so they ordered all the pork in the village at a slightly higher price than outside, and then asked someone to write a contract The book was sent to Aozi Village, and the seller and the village head were asked to mark it out, proving that the pig was indeed an authentic "Xiangu pig" produced in Aozi Village.

Because the prices offered by those people were really good, many people in the village couldn't resist selling the whole pig, leaving none at home.Lan Huaer heard a lot of people in the village talking about it, saying that it had been ten years since she had seen such a good pork price.

In fact, if they were willing to wait a little longer, they might be able to sell pork at a higher price.

However, the people in the village are honest and have no business acumen, and they did not expect to spread the news of the sale of pigs and let more merchants come to compete for it, so this matter was settled early.That's it, they are already very satisfied.

When Lan Hua'er heard this for the first time, she was really stunned for a long time.

She didn't expect that the pigs in the village would be given such a name, which made people want to laugh.I don't know who came up with the idea of ​​signing and stamping.

To be honest, this is already a bit like the brand awareness of later generations.

She even wondered if the person who came up with this idea was also a time-traveler like her - she always felt that this little village girl like her didn't seem like a person who time-traveled.Not to mention cheating at all, I have been in the Dayin Dynasty for so long, and I haven't hooked up with a wealthy son-in-law, and I haven't even moved to any big city. I still live in a small village on the border. A place or something.

Oh, and now I still make some spicy cabbage, which sells very well.

She even thought about it, if selling spicy cabbage can continue for a long time, she will see if she can save a sum of money, and save enough money for Goudan's future exams in advance, even if only In general, she will force Gaihua to start thinking about his wife.Tiesheng was not much older than him, and he was already married this year, so she was really worried.

Not everyone is as lucky as Yan Dalang. At this age, he can still drag a delicate bride back from the mountain.

And Lan Hua'er didn't actually regard Yan Dalang as an ordinary person.

Maybe she also listened to too many stories from Liao Zhai.

Vegetables and grains in the village are also selling well.

Influenced by those who bought pork, many merchants began to buy vegetables and grains in the village, and then asked for pledges, and went back to sell them.

Some merchants didn't want to buy food from Aozi Village at first, but after looking at it, they found that all the "Xiangu Grain" or "Bride's Silver Ingot Vegetables" produced in Aozi Village in the town. The number of guests has decreased, so I followed the example of a gourd painting and came up with such a name for myself.

But at that time, the customers already knew about the painting pledge, and they only looked for the one drawn by the village chief of Aozi Village. Many merchants saw the situation and reluctantly followed to Aozi Village to buy goods.No matter how much you buy or how little you buy, you always have to take a painting away.

Even Lan Hua'er couldn't help selling more than half of the food and vegetables, and someone sent a message to Changhua, telling him to buy food from a place where the food is cheap and then transport it home—no way , This price is really high, everyone can't help but want to earn the difference.

Even the prey that Zang Lang hunted on the back mountain and some embroidery that Lan Hua'er made by herself were sold at a higher price than before.

The craftsmanship of Guan Ju and Fang Ningai, which can only be seen in the capital, is even more amazing, and I don't know how much they sold. Anyway, Fang Ningai used to make a lot of things at home, and almost all of them were sold.

In the past, Honghuabaina Mountain would occasionally send people to Aozi Village to collect mountain goods - such people didn't come often, and they didn't use the name of King Hong, they looked like ordinary merchants who received goods.Lan Hua'er also met a familiar face once in a while, and only then did she know that the person who occasionally came to the village to receive goods was actually a person from the cottage.

Because of the soaring prices in the village, Honghuabai's subordinates came over once, but the price was not negotiated, and they didn't even receive the goods.

Lan Huaer heard a story from a family.

The family also vividly described the face of the consignee. After hearing that the price of the item had nearly doubled, his face was pale, and he was frightened for some reason.

The people in the village are now being taken care of by the merchants outside, and they are a little lenient. Even the village head is happy every day.However, the villagers are not forgetting their roots, and they also know that the prices in the village are really high.

Seeing that the consignee had a bad look on his face, and heard that he had collected the food for himself instead of selling it outside, he directed the consignee to several other nearby villages and told the consignee that the grain The increase in the price of pork and pork is only a matter of Aozi Village. The prices in the nearby villages are probably still the usual price, so let people go to other villages to have a look.

Lan Hua'er remembered that Hong Huabai's face turned pale because she wasted a little more fine flour and white sugar. She held her arm and trembled for a long time. That kind of reaction.

If it's only a little bit higher, it's fine.

But now the prices of things in the village are almost doubled.

If that person went back to tell Honghuabai after receiving the goods, it would be strange if Honghuabai didn't skin him.

But since the mountain has sent people to recognize and collect the mountain goods, it means that the red flower and white cottage is still in good condition, and it was not wiped out by Chu Jiangkai leading troops from the capital.

Later, when Lan Huaer thought about it, even she thought it was funny.

For a cottage as big as Honghuabai, not to mention the number of people on the mountain, there is also a tall wooden wall, and there is water flowing behind it.Generally, if you want to attack such a fortress-like place, it is impossible to do it without a large number of people.And if such a large number of people were sent from the city, and the distance between Aozi Village and Honghuabaishan Village is so close, it is impossible for the village to feel nothing at all.

The village chief also said before that the town sent people to talk about the Red King a few times, and if there was a real fight, Aozi Village was probably going to be the last supply station.

The stones in Lan Hua'er's heart also fell down.

She also specifically asked those who met the consignee, and they all said that the quantity required by the consignee was the same as usual.

Lan Hua'er wondered if this meant that all the foreign "guests" in the cottage had left.

But she thought about Honghuabai's temperament, and felt that this was not likely to be taken as evidence.Who knows what a small money fan like Honghuabai thinks.Maybe she is asking the group of guests from the capital to build several terraced fields on the back mountain, and let them open up wasteland and farm next to the cottage to be self-sufficient?
That is the king of red with red flowers and white flowers, Lan Huaer thought silently.
