Chapter 79

After the wheat harvest, the Liu family and his son came to the Great Wasteland.

This season's wheat harvest is good, with nearly two stones harvested per mu—of course, this is only for the wasteland.After paying the grain tax and paying the rent, Dahuangdi netted more than 700 catties of wheat. The Liu family and his son came to ask if the wheat should be sold directly.He Tao treated them to a lunch and told them to go and transport food when Fu Shi came back.

On the third day after the Liu family's father and son arrived, Fu Shi and Fu Quan came back in a hurry.

Even the dust and frost on their faces could not hide the joy on their faces. Fu Quan began to talk about this experience as soon as he entered the room and sat down.

"At the beginning, I went to several big shops in the provincial capital to look around, and bought their chili sauce. The most expensive is Song Ji's chili sauce. It is said to be an exclusive secret recipe that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It costs two catties a can. It was only 230 characters. I was at a loss in my mind at the time. Our stuff is really good, but it’s just a hot sauce! I was thinking, forget it, if it’s really not possible, We can only sell 500 Wen, anyway, the cost is less than [-] Wen, which is also a big profit. Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the teahouse on the official road, we happened to meet a caravan selling spices. Take it out, the boss couldn’t move his eyes when he saw it! I think he really likes it, so I asked him to set a price. Of course, I also told him that this thing is rare, and I don’t get much of it all year round. We are the only ones who have it all over the world. As soon as the boss opened his mouth, it was five taels of silver a can! Ouch, my heart was scared to stop at that time, so I agreed directly, five taels of silver a can, we can make money in one trip More than [-] taels of silver. Unexpectedly, Brother Shi has a bigger heart. Let people think about it again. Why do you say that there is no such shop after passing this village? Their prices are low. I wanted to cover him at that time Mouth, five taels of silver is not low, but fortunately, I was not impulsive, and the boss added it directly to the eight taels of a can when he heard Brother Shi's words! At that time, I felt that we had indeed found a treasure, After chatting with the boss for a while, we settled on a round number, ten taels a can, and finally gave me [-] taels of banknotes, saying that we had the stock and let us keep it for him. He will come back at the end of the year and ask for as much !"

When Fu Quan talked about five taels, He Tao's jaw dropped to the ground, and when she heard eight taels and ten taels, her jaw kept hitting the ground—the word "profiteering" is not enough. Describe this deal!He Tao suddenly felt rich overnight.

"Fu Shi, you can do it!" After Fu Quan finished speaking, He Tao punched Fu Shi: "I didn't see it, you still have this ability, you are really big-hearted!"

Fu Shi accepted He Tao's compliment with a "hehe" smile.

Strictly speaking, among the three of them, Fu Shi was the only one who had seen the big world. Of course, it was all thanks to He Yuanyuan.Although He Yuanyuan has always said that he is just an unfavored bastard of the family, but this disfavor is limited to not being able to enter the family power center, and he has never been treated badly in life.Even when he was in a border town where supplies were scarce, he did not owe himself anything in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he had always been extravagant.

Fu Shi had been with him for five or six years, so he saw a lot of good things, and his vision was naturally much wider than that of Fu Quan and He Tao.

"Speaking of which, I feel sorry for Brother Jin, but we've made a lot of money..." Fu Quan sighed.Although they had discussed it before and went to the provincial capital to do business in order to keep it secret, but when the benefits were too great, Fu Quan was a little unsure if he could do it this way.Stealing is the same, stealing a needle and stealing a piece of gold, the guilt is very different!Although there is a hint of laughing at fifty steps, but he really thinks so.

Fu Quan's abrupt words startled He Tao.

Although the method was taught by the Qingshan people themselves, and they learned it in a fair manner, but their current behavior is no different from piracy!

He Tao recalled a famous plagiarism case in his previous life.A small transparency sued a certain master for plagiarism, the evidence was sufficient, and the court also ruled that Xiaotransparence won, and finally the master paid out of his pocket—although that attitude was very annoying, saying that "I will pay the money, but I will not admit that I do not plagiarize".

This is what the brainless fans of the great gods said: Plagiarism? !Please help me!Ren Dashen has been popular for a long time after writing it. If there is no lawsuit, no one will have heard of what you wrote!What does this mean?
He Tao fell into this divine logic before the 500 taels of silver bill!

She shamelessly comforted herself that people from Qingshan have been doing it for hundreds of years and have not seen them sell it. This is simply a gift that makes the pearl dusty and blasphemes nature!In an instant, his conscience and guilt were thrown into the sky.

However, seeing Fu Quan seemed distressed, He Tao decided to help him reduce his guilt, so he said, "How about we give them a little more money per can?"

Who knows that Fu Quan waved his hand after hearing this and said: "It's still not necessary. If you increase the price all at once, it will cause them to think too much. Let's stick to the original price!"

Well, it seems that the second uncle's guilt is not worth much.He Tao dripped a drop of sweat silently, and then began to share the spoils happily. 500 taels of silver, two hundred and five for each family, the second uncle went back humming a ditty with the bank notes, He Tao smiled treacherously and carefully wrapped the bank notes with oiled paper, stuffed them into their treasury, and then put them in the family account book. I wrote down such a sum heavily.

The second day after Fu Quan came back, he began to work non-stop on harvesting grain, and the second room of Fu's family was bustling like never before.This year is a bumper harvest year, and most of the villagers are willing to exchange the surplus grain for some cash to spend. When they hear the news that the Fu family is going to harvest grain, they don’t have to go to the town bitterly, and the price is the same as the grain in the town Like a shop, Big Fire is naturally willing to do business at the doorstep!
The He family is also in the ranks of selling grain, which is somewhat surprising.

The He family has a lot of land, and everyone has eyes. If you do any calculations, you will know that even in a bumper harvest year, their family’s food is in short supply. People who have good things—the next door neighbor of the He family, Mrs. Xie, asked Mrs. Zhou up.

"Auntie, does your family also sell food? Will there be enough to eat after selling it?" Xie asked with a smile, full of sarcasm and straightforward probing.
Mrs. Da Zhou glanced at Mrs. Xie, turned up the volume on purpose and said, "Our family, You Tian, ​​is now serving as a tutor for Mr. Huang at Mr. Huang's house! Not to mention the high salary, there is still food to be taken every month. The food at home Putting it away is also taking up space..."

In fact, Da Zhou asked someone to borrow two taels in order to make up enough ten taels of silver, and it was still with interest, so she hurriedly sold it to pay back the money.It is true that He Youtian has high money and grain, otherwise, where would the Zhou family have the confidence to sell one-third of this season's harvest at once?
She could have waited for two months until He Youtian received her wages before paying back the money, but she borrowed a "usury loan" with a high interest rate, so naturally she felt at ease earlier.

Her words were like boiling oil in water, causing the people who came to sell grain to chatter.

"Brother Tian is promising!"

"Old sister-in-law, you will enjoy the future!"

Mrs. Da Zhou's originally straight waist became more and more like a benchmark, and the smile on his face was filled with pride and reserve that could not be concealed, and he said: "Why do you enjoy the blessings, and you still have to worry about..."

"That's right, I heard Xi Po is not willing to introduce someone to your brother Liang!" Mrs. Xie interrupted impatiently: "Auntie, you really have something to worry about..."

When Da Zhou heard this, he immediately gave Xie a look: "There's no need to worry about it, after Arita makes money, he can forget about his brother!"

Needless to say the words too bluntly, everyone understood what she meant-if you have money, you are afraid that you will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law!
Xie's face turned dark immediately - she was talking about her two sons!Even if the reputation is not bad, but no money is still a bachelor!She cursed fiercely in her heart that He Youtian would be fired by Huang Dahu tomorrow!
Before evening, Fu Lei went to the Great Wasteland in the name of sharing gossip, and told He Tao and the others what happened during the day.

He Tao could only scold Huang Dahu for not knowing people. However, she thought that it would be good for He Youtian to have money. Anyway, the money he earned was spent on the whole family. If the He family had enough food and clothing, it would probably be less. Want to take advantage of it!

"However, that neighbor next door to yours, Mr. Xie is really cheap. He told people everywhere that Mrs. Xi would not introduce a partner to Liang Ge'er if she let it go. Liang Ge'er would definitely not marry a wife. She and your family What kind of hatred is there?" Fu Lei asked He Lian who was standing aside.

He Lian snorted twice and said, "You said it too, she's a bitch!"

"That's right, people are cheap, and they are not nice!" Fu Lei rubbed his head and laughed twice.

"Speaking of which, brother Lei, you and the younger brother are having a good time, is there anything wrong with him recently?" He Tao recalled the "unknown premonition" before, for fear that He Youliang would do something stupid himself.

Fu Lei shook his head and said, "No, but he doesn't come with us very often recently. I heard from Lin Bajin that he has seen him go hunting alone in the mountains several times!"

When Fu Lei mentioned Lin Bajin, he glanced at He Lian with some guilt, and He Lian rolled her eyes back fiercely.

"It's fine if there's nothing wrong with him. If you see anything wrong with him, remember to tell me!" He Tao said and thought that Fu Lei was also seeing each other this year, so he joked: "Brother Lei, your wife will see you." How are you doing? After reading so much, you still haven’t settled down? Are you looking for a fairy?”

The conditions of the Fu family are good, and many people are willing to marry their daughters. Even the old lady Cheng has thought of introducing her granddaughter to the Wu family. It is a pity that Fu Lei will see it once. For half a year, girls of the right age in Rongshu Village and nearby villages Almost everyone has been seen by him, but he still hasn't settled down.The people in the second room were in a hurry to say nothing, but outsiders actually had a saying, saying that Fu Lei's vision is too high and he doesn't like country girls. He wants to eat swan meat and marry a lady from a rich family!
Fu Lei glanced at He Lian again with a guilty conscience, not at all as usual, and muttered, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about..."

Before he finished speaking, he ran out in a panic, and stopped when he reached the entrance of the village in one breath. He couldn't die when he saw Lin Bajin, whom he had just mentioned, standing in front and waving vigorously at him.

"Rock pile, rock pile!"

For the first time in 15 years in Fu Lei's life, he felt very heavy. He sighed and repeated silently "Brothers and wives should not be bullied", while walking towards Lin Bajin with heavy steps.
