Chapter 81: Livelihood

After Xiao Tieshu's turmoil passed, Xiao Nan's family's reclamation project went smoothly, and there were no twists and turns in the middle, but the construction period was two days longer than she expected, and it took only four days to plough the ground, and it took eight days to build an embankment and spread fertilizer, twenty laborers, and a total of 12 days, and the preliminary project of a hundred acres of tea garden could be completed.

The tea seedlings cost a total of 850 taels of silver, and the reclamation of the tea garden cost a total of 40 taels of silver (15 taels of wages and compensation from Xiao Tieshu, and 25 taels of fertilizer. One thousand taels of silver is only one hundred taels left in a blink of an eye, this is only the initial investment in the early stage, and after the tea seedlings come back, they will be planted and maintained, and the tea seedlings will only be planted for three years without any income, and the remaining one hundred taels of silver is obviously a drop in the bucket.

The preliminary project of the tea garden was completed, Xiao Nan couldn't help but have a sense of urgency in her heart when she settled the accounts, she urgently needed to make money, otherwise the project of the tea garden would be difficult to continue, the life of the family would be limited to difficulties, all the silver in her hands added up to only one hundred and fifty or sixty taels, just the tea garden, planting and later management and maintenance, at least seventy or eighty taels of silver, as well as the expenses of the family, the annual maintenance cost of the tea garden in the next few years will not be less than fifty taels, as for the income, at least until the fourth year after planting, Only then did a small amount of gain begin.

That is to say, in the next three or four years, in addition to maintaining the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as Zixiu and Jingxuan's study expenses, Xiao Nan also has to spend at least fifty taels a year to manage the tea garden, so that the family's life can maintain the current level, and the annual income cannot be less than one hundred taels.

Earning one hundred taels of silver a year does not sound like a lot, but according to the price ratio of this era, one hundred taels of silver is equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan, and the income of more than 200,000 yuan a year is not difficult to find in Xiao Nan's knowledge and skills, if he was in his previous life, it was not difficult to find such a job and position, but ...... here.

Xiao Nan patted her forehead, carefully sorted out all her skills, and found that in addition to the passable force value that can be used to hunt and make money, other skills are useless.

Of course, her handwriting is good enough, but her age is here, plus she doesn't have any popularity, no matter how good the word is, it is not feasible to sell it for a large price, if it is not for the arrival of that Jiang senior, refined salt production, cotton planting, alcohol refining and other small things, she can also make a lot of money, and then sell it to the big businessman or the government can make a lot of cash, now, these are not her turn, as for other inventions that have not yet been tinkered with, as a liberal arts student, she also does not have this ability.

Invention and creation does not work, tinkering with food Xiao Nan is not good at it, this era is rich in materials, the catering industry is extremely developed, although the variety and patterns can not be compared with later generations, but relative to this era has software and hardware on the basis of the research and development and creation of various cuisines has been brought into full play, Xiao Nan was a top chef in his previous life, he can still kill a way in this dazzling catering industry, now, she is obedient to be a gluttonous eater......

Can't make inventions, can't toss food, go into the mountains to find medicinal materials to make a fortune or something is even more unworkable, ancient Chinese medicine is much more developed than modern times, not to mention that her understanding of traditional Chinese medicine is limited to some conventional medicinal materials that can be used for first aid and hemostasis, and the public knows, even if modern Chinese medicine comes here, it is not necessarily more knowledgeable than the doctors here.

Poor Professor Xiao thought hard for a long time, and found that after abandoning the field she was best at, she came to a fact that made her very depressed but had to accept it: as a time-traveler with more than a thousand years of knowledge, she did not have much advantage over the local natives in making money, and if she wanted to make a fortune, she could only accumulate bit by bit, and it was impossible to achieve it overnight.

She wants to make more money now, and the only way out is to hunt diligently, and then occasionally take some danger to sneak into the mountains, try her luck, and see if there is a chance to pick high-vintage Shou Wu, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum or something, Xiao Nan was entangled for a while, and soon relieved, she comforted herself: Anyway, she still has a hunting skill, which is much stronger than those who can't do anything, isn't it?

Professor Xiao was able to think about it so quickly because she was too busy in her previous life and didn't have time to read any online novels, otherwise, when she saw those people who couldn't get by in the days before she crossed over, once she crossed over, she was like a god possessed, she could make money at the age of three or four, make a fortune at the age of five or six, and lead a rich family at the age of eight or nine......

Okay, the ridicule and confusion end here, let's get down to business, after the completion of the hundred acres of barren mountains, the time is just out of the first month, out of the first month Xiao Nan can go into the mountains to hunt, she urgently needs to make money, naturally a day of hard work will not be delayed, on the first day of February, early in the morning led the little colorful into the mountain, the little colorful is now more than five months old, the size is close to an adult dog, after Xiao Nan's non-stop training, this little tiger has become more and more agile and sensible.

There is an unwritten rule in the villages around Baiyun Mountain: all hunters under Baiyun Mountain, New Year is not allowed to enter the mountain, this rule is not known to anyone, in short, it has been passed down like this over the years, there are many people engaged in hunting in Sangyu Village, everyone is holding back for more than a month, and finally waiting for the mood of the day to enter the mountain can be imagined.

Xiao Nan's house is close to the side of the mountain, she is not late to get up, she thought that even if she is not the first to enter the mountain, there will not be too many people who came in earlier than her, but after coming in, but in a quarter of an hour, she met five or six groups of people, after greeting each other, Xiao Nan couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly, after a winter of hibernation and consumption, there are not many prey in this season, plus so many people suddenly poured in, it is impossible to have any big harvest today.

"Little Colorful, let's go into the deep forest and have a look." Xiao Nan didn't search around, she looked down at the little tiger who was following her, and said to herself, although Xiao Banli didn't understand Xiao Nan's words, but it heard her name, and immediately wagged her tail vigorously when she heard it, to show her approval.

"You foolish, you didn't understand what I meant, so you wagged your tail blindly, and you weren't afraid that I would trick you into selling." Xiao Nan was a little speechless and reached out and patted it on the head, then shook off his steps and rushed towards the deep forest area...... (To be continued.) )
