Chapter 131: Preparation
Mrs. Qin was confused, and Father Qin was also quite emotional, but she didn't expect that the big shopkeeper Guo would take out such a large sum of money so happily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He saw the big shopkeeper signaling to Guo shopkeeper, and then saw Guo shopkeeper nodding, and he took out a stack of silver tickets from his pocket and handed them to him in person.
I heard the big shopkeeper say: "In my opinion, your white celery, artificial fertilizer and water are not an ordinary expense, and these five hundred taels of silver tickets are even if they are fixed in silver, so they can be prepared for emergencies." ā
However, what Father Qin didn't know was that when the Eight Immortals House was just starting out, in order to receive the goods, the big shopkeeper also advanced the fixed silver to the farmers.
When those peasant households took this money, they not only made up their minds, but also used it for production. Fertilizer, water and manpower are willing to pay the cost, and the quality of the goods will naturally go up, but it can be counted in one fell swoop.
However, after all these years, the Eight Immortals House has long had a fixed supply of goods, but it has not advanced the fixed silver for many years.
This time he took out the five hundred taels of silver in one go, which was also a decision that the big shopkeeper had carefully considered.
Although the previous white celery was inevitably rotten even if it was transported to the capital at that speed, the 260 catties of white celery were only screened and detected less than 200 catties. But the big shopkeeper knew that if it hadn't been for the Qin family's meticulous handling, the degree of loss would be far more than that.
This time, I came over and took a closer look at the garden where the Qin family had set up to make white celery, which definitely took a lot of effort and cost.
Naturally, my heart is relieved.
Although they can't do much, they can also pay so that the Qin family has no worries and can rest assured that they can make white celery.
As for the intention of the big shopkeeper, Father Qin thought about it for a while, and he already understood it, so he didn't shirk it, walked directly to the side, spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the coffee table, and wrote a receipt for the big shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Guo looked at it and smiled slightly, and the big shopkeeper also nodded secretly in his heart, and discussed the small wooden sign with Father Qin.
In the end, he simply gave Father Qin two hundred taels of silver first, and asked Father Qin to plan this matter. There is only one, and the name of their Eight Immortal Residences is also to be printed.
Father Qin already has a different kind of affection for this small wooden card, and he does not shirk it, and as for the request of the big shopkeeper, he naturally has no objection.
The two agreed, and added a contract.
At this time, these two contracts are already in the hands of Qin Lao Niang.
Although Qin Lao Niang is not too literate, she can still understand the contract.
After reading it, he put all the silver tickets in the contract, and I don't know whether to sigh or exhale, I heard that Father Qin, who was already drowsy, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Ming'er give the silver ticket to Fang Liang and ask him to think of a way to help us exchange it for gold." ā
Qin Lao Niang hurriedly responded, she knew that her husband did not believe in silver tickets because of his experience of playing small, and she always felt that there was no peace of mind without hard currency like gold and silver. Therefore, all the savings that the family has accumulated over the years, but if they save some copper, they will let Fang Liang help exchange them for gold and silver.
Early the next morning, when Qin Lao Niang mentioned this matter to Fang Liang, Fang Liang already patted his chest and said, "Auntie, this matter is on me." ā
didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so he took the two brothers of the Qin family out with the silver ticket.
It was just more than an hour, Fang Liang and the Qin family brothers came back with a piece of gold and two ingots of gold, and made a deal with Qin Lao Niang in person, Fang Liang went all the way to find Qin's father, and told him happily: "Uncle Qin, these days I have planted five acres of watercress seedlings in Zhuangzi, listen to your words, control water and thin fertilizer, the sun has been good in the past two days, and the internodes have really grown dense and strong." Then he asked Father Qin, "Do you want to go and have a look?" ā
Father Qin smiled and said, "As long as you look good, I won't go this time, and the garden at home hasn't been cleaned up yet." ā
As soon as Fang Liang heard this, he said, "Do you want me to help?" He asked Father Qin if he wanted cress: "My Zhuangzi somehow gave birth to so many cress." He also said: "If I wasn't afraid that I wouldn't be able to cook it, I would have planned to keep some more seedlings." ā
Qin Lianxiong heard this and said: "There is no need for water cress, Brother Liang just remember to help the family keep some pig and sheep stables." ā
"It's all on me." Fang Liang hurriedly packed the ticket, and asked curiously: "Is there anything special about fertilizer?" Although the old craftsmen in my village are all good at farming, they just don't know if there is any difference between the white celery and the crops next to it. ā
This is something that Father Qin doesn't know for the time being, and the garden at home only asks the helpers to apply bottom fertilizer and lime first, and disinfect and nourish the land. However, there should be little difference between it, but because of the short growth time of celery, perhaps the fertilizer must be applied sufficiently, but it cannot burn the roots, but this degree must be grasped properly.
Tell Fang Liang about the doorways here, and Fang Liang stroked his palms and said, "Then I have to ask them to raise more rabbits, chickens and sheep!" ā
I was already thinking about it in my heart, and as if I remembered something, I asked Daddy Qin again: "Then do I also want to start preparing the land and fertilizing it now?" ā
But there is a reason for this.
Fang Liang is no better than Father Qin, the twenty acres of the Qin family's garden is his own after all, to put it mildly, Father Qin can toss as much as he wants. But although the Zhuangzi of the Fang family is managed by Fang Liang, it is not Fang Liang's in the end.
But the maid is in charge of the key, and she is not in charge.
So before Daddy Qin thought about it for him before that, after Xiao Manmang planted, he could set aside some acres of land after harvesting spring flowers to stay aside, don't plant rice, rest for a season, plough the ridges, apply foot fertilizer, and wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should be able to start planting celery.
Fang Liang saw that Father Qin had thought about him so thoroughly, and he had nothing to do, but he had never farmed, where did he know about these agricultural things, and when he thought that Father Qin would start to dry the ridges and fertilize now, he felt a little unsure.
Father Qin said: "The fields on your Zhuangzi are all mature fields that have been cultivated for many years, how can my wasteland compare with you, as long as the fertilizer can keep up in the future, I think it will definitely not be a problem." ā
Fang Liang couldn't stop nodding, and asked Father Qin again: "Uncle Qin, I didn't know how hard the Zhuanghu people worked until I planted the land, it was really not easy. It's strange that when I was a child, my mother always scolded me, saying that I didn't study well and didn't work well, and when I grew up, I could only go to Zhuangzi to do long-term work. As he spoke, he changed his words, but said, "Look, do you want me to find you two people?" ā
As soon as these words came out, before Father Qin could say anything, Qin Lianxiong had already touched his nose, and Qin Lianhu glanced at him.
Father Qin also glanced at him lightly, and then said to Fang Liang: "This is not necessary, my family has already had family rules, and future generations are not allowed to keep slaves and maids, how can my generation do anything to deceive our ancestors." (To be continued.) )
