Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 59

Qian Feng put down such ruthless words, twisted his mouth half-believingly, and then looked at Qian Feng and Shiliu's bodies, thinking that they should not be his opponents.He had nothing to worry about, so he sat in his ox cart and said leisurely, "Little brother, tell me, how can I earn some money?"

Qian Feng felt that there was something interesting, so he called his eldest brother affectionately, "Brother, I see that you have a strong back, what do you do for a living besides raising silkworms?"

When I asked this question, Waizuizi sighed, "I used to be a blacksmith, and I worked for two years. The business was not good, and it turned yellow. Now I do the work for the grain store, but the business of the grain store is not very good. There is not much work, every now and then I only have so many jobs, and I can earn a hundred yuan a month. If it weren’t for my distant cousin who was a petty official who kept me under wraps, how would I be able to support a family of seven? People? But raising silkworms is also difficult. There are four silkworm harvesting shops in Yicheng, with a total of [-] households raising silkworms, but there are few mulberry leaves, and every year they have to break their heads to grab mulberry leaves."

Qian Feng wondered, since there are few mulberry leaves here, don't they know how to go to other places to pick mulberry leaves, or plant mulberry trees directly?It is estimated that the government does not allow it, and sericulture is under the supervision of the government.

Qian Feng came over and counted how many bags of silkworm cocoons there were on the crooked mouth car, "Hey, brother, why do you only have seven bags? I saw that others have less than a dozen bags, and some have more than twenty bags."

"Don't mention it. In those few days, the shopkeeper of the grain shop asked me to go to the grain shop to do some work. He said that the work was urgent and couldn't be pushed. As a result, the mulberry leaves were almost snatched up by others. It's not bad to be able to feed these silkworms, alas."

Qian Feng pointed to the bags on his ox cart, and said with a smile: "Why don't you take my bags, white cocoons are 35 Wen a catty, yellow cocoons are the same at [-] Wen a catty, you can pour one." You can earn [-] Wen just by doing it, which is enough for you to carry six months of work!"

Wicked Zuizi stood up and took a look, "Oh... I said what does the little brother do? It turns out that he is a retail silkworm farmer from other places. You can only sell it in Suzhou, and you can't sell it for twenty yuan a catty. .”

"Brother, this kills two birds with one stone. You and I both earn money. You won't feel sorry for the six hundred Wen." Qian Feng said with a smile. He felt that the crooked mouth would definitely agree. , It is impossible to have money without earning.

Crooked mouth but shook his head, "I won't accept it."

Qian Feng was taken aback, "Why don't you accept it? You have a grudge against money? Don't worry, no one will know. I made money myself, and I will never tell it."

Pomegranate stepped forward and called sweetly: "My dear brother, you can just accept it. After I accept it, I will buy you buns to eat. Just now I ate buns that cost two cents each. They are big and delicious! I will buy them for you." How about ten?"

"I just had a full lunch, I'm not hungry!" The crooked eyes rolled around, and then he grinned again, his mouth was so crooked that it almost stood upright, and he shook his head frantically, "It's more than thirty cents a catty. No charge!"

Qian Feng jumped up, "Thirty Wen a catty? You want to earn more than 1000 Wen without any effort. You are a robber!"

Wicked Zuizi stood up and pushed the cart, "Forget it, I have to sell silkworm cocoons, so I don't have time to chat with you here."

"Deal!" Qian Feng was also tired, so he had to compromise.

Crooked mouth turned his head and smiled, "Refreshing!"

A 120-jin white cocoon costs [-] Wen, while a [-]-jin yellow cocoon can still be sold for [-] Wen, making a total of [-] Wen.Qian Feng and Pomegranate helped to carry the sacks to Waizuizi's bullock cart, and then sat under a tree to wait for Waizuizi to sell them.

Pomegranate leaned on Qian Feng's shoulder and dozed off, a leaf fell on her face, she woke up suddenly, and was anxious when she saw that the crooked mouth hadn't come out, she pushed Qian Feng, "If that crooked mouth doesn't come out Admitting that he took our silkworm cocoon just now, what if he insists that it belongs to his own family?"

Qian Feng patted Shiliu's head, "Well, not stupid. Don't worry, he won't. If he wanted to play tricks, he wouldn't bargain with us just now. Besides, if he is really that unreasonable person, Why does he still earn money by carrying grain, and often breaks his head for robbing mulberry leaves? With his body, if he really uses brute force, few people can win him."

Shi Liu laughed straight, "That's right, he looks fierce and ugly, but he's actually a good citizen."

Just as he was talking, Waizuizi drove out the empty ox cart, and he jumped off the ox cart and ran over from a distance, "Little brother, little brother, it's done! Those two guys and the accountant didn't even notice that six of them This bag does not belong to my family, hehe!"

He took out four strings of money from the big cloth bag, which was heavy and heavy, and handed them all to Qian Feng. Then he took Qian Feng's six empty sacks from the bullock cart, and then he jumped into the bullock cart and waved Whip the cow, and ran away in a blink of an eye.

Qian Feng remembered something, and chased after him, "Big Brother! Big Brother! Wait!"

Seeing that Qian Feng was actually catching up, Wei Zuizi lashed the cow several times in fright, and the cow ran even faster.

Qian Feng ran after him desperately, "Brother, stop, I have something very important to tell you!"

Although Shiliu didn't know why Qian Feng was chasing the crooked mouth, but when she saw Qian Feng chasing him, she followed suit, "Big Brother, Big Brother, I haven't bought you buns yet!"
