Chapter 56

The result was a surprise – there had never been a draw before, and although it was evenly matched every time, one was chosen as the winner. There have even been cases where no one can convince anyone, and finally guess the size with the dice to determine the result, and there have been cases where they choose a few women by themselves to see who eats fast wins, just because the woman eats small, and she can eat more to show that the thing is really delicious, and so on.

In short, everyone guesses the beginning, but they can't always guess the end, and they take up a fresh word.

After each fight, because the result is too ridiculous, it can still be a topic for a long time. And many people want to try it, which one is stronger.

Clear-eyed people have long seen the tricks of Shen Pei's two families, so everyone didn't really take this event seriously, it was completely in the state of watching the show. There are also people who don't like it, but it is too interesting and is buried in the voice of the people. So I really don't care much about the result, how to tear it up and what new tricks are the key points.

Even the people who came to be judges had a loose attitude and would never tear their faces because of this kind of competition. Instead, try to show off your charm and make yourself famous.

I didn't expect to make a draw this time, although everyone was surprised, they couldn't help but sigh, this Shen Pei family has made a new trick!

And for Chang Xile and his party, the ending is even less important.

Because their Taoyuan Village dogwood sauce and spicy rice oil became famous because of this fighting dish, they originally wanted to stay in the mansion for a few more days, but Shen Baili was in a hurry to catch up with people, because they brought too little, not enough for a few days, don't provoke them to eat for the sky and cut off the goods, and even wrapped up the rest of Chang Xile's goods.

And Pei Qingyun also came to join in the fun, and he had to participate in life and death.

Chang Xile refused, their inventory could not cope with so much, although they had tried their best to collect it before, but after all, because they didn't know the sales channel, they didn't make a lot of efforts, and the inventory was very limited.

However, in the end, it is planned to wait for more production in two years to come, and then discuss the cooperation in detail.

In this way, it will not only fulfill the previous promise, but also give the Chang family time to prepare.

Pei Qingyun knew that Zhu Yu couldn't be contaminated here, so he set his sights on tea seed oil and vermicelli.

Shen Baili didn't want to let the fans out, but Pei Qingyun was domineering, with an attitude that if you don't give it to me, I can kill you, so I can only stop.

Although Pei Qingyun also had a purchase channel for tea seed oil before, there was not too much grain and oil, and with the population of the house skyrocketing, it would only be in short supply.

Therefore, Chang Xisheng and Chang Xile also sold rice and grain by the way. They worked out, the Chang family only managed to collect rice, they collected as much as they wanted, and the price was also very generous.

Pei's rice shop is also very famous in the house, Pei's family has a wide range of roads, and has also done business in other places. I have never been afraid of insufficient supply, and I have never worried that I will not be able to sell and press in my hands.

This is also a good thing for the Pei family, they usually collect a lot of rice and grain from the second-way dealers, and the price must have been raised in the middle. And now it is directly collected from the farmers, although the Chang family is also a second-class dealer, but it is much more generous than those merchants, which is equivalent to the middle level, and the purchase cost is much lower.

The business was doing so smoothly that Chang Xile and the others did not dare to delay, and prepared to follow the Shen family's caravan back to Daoxiang Village the day after tomorrow.

Now that they have signed a contract, they will not have to worry about the sales of their agricultural products for at least two years, and they will also have the opportunity to touch the market. In the past few days, I have found that it is very difficult for them to gain a foothold here with their peasant family alone, and they must rely on a certain local force.

They are already production-oriented, and mastering circulation and sales channels is just to avoid being choked by the neck and being in a passive state. At least for now, there is no need to spend too much effort on this, and the Shen Pei family is still trustworthy.

Before leaving, Chang Xile, Chang Xisheng and Chang Yu came to Gao Yuan's house again.

Gao Yuan's face seemed to be even paler than before, and he would cough when he said two words, looking weak and weak.

"Uncle Gao, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you seen each other for a few days, but you have become so haggard? Chang Xisheng asked.

Gao Yuan waved his hand, "It's okay, I look like this every year at this time, and you are going to leave the day after tomorrow?" ”

Chang Xisheng and Chang Xile saw that he didn't want to say more, so it was not good to continue to ask, so they only asked him to take care of his health.

"Yes, the Shen family is in a hurry to pick up the goods, and we will go home with the caravan."

Gao Yuan said: "Your father and I used to be excellent brothers, I didn't have time to prepare last time, these are the meeting gifts I prepared, there are you and other brothers in the family." ”

After speaking, An Xing took out two very large packages.

Chang Xisheng hurriedly said: "How can this be ......?"

Gao Yuan directly waved his hand to interrupt, "The elders can't give it away, it's not anything valuable, take it." ”

Chang Xisheng and Chang Xile heard this, so it was difficult to refuse.

Gao Yuan looked at Chang Xile, "The books and volumes in it are all related to scientific examinations, as well as the topics of the past years, you go back and study carefully, don't waste your homework." It is not easy for a farmer's child to get fame, you can get a talent at a young age, it can be seen that you are talented and intelligent, don't be buried. ”

At this time, Chang Xile and Chang Xisheng's eyes widened, they didn't expect Gao Yuan to be so cold before, but they would find such an important thing for Chang Xile so intimately.

"Thank you Uncle Gao, this gift is so satisfying!"

"If you are angry, it will not be in vain for me to bother, cough cough-" Gao Yuan drank the tea handed over by An Xing, and then said: "You go back and tell your father, I am fine, and I don't need him to worry about it." ”

"Yes, we'll get it done."

Gao Yuan nodded, didn't say anything more, just waved his hand to send off the guests.

Chang Xile and Chang Xisheng went out, looked at the two big bags of things and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Gao Yuan obviously cared about them, why did his attitude make him so cold, so that they almost misunderstood him.

But without taking two steps, Chang Xile noticed that something was wrong, "Brother, I remember that we didn't say that I was admitted to Xiucai last time, right?" And I'm broken, Uncle Gao is not ignorant, how can he think that I can continue the scientific examination? I didn't mention it to him because he could continue the scientific expedition. ”

Chang Xisheng also reacted, just now they were hit by a huge surprise and forgot to think, they just felt that something was wrong, Chang Xile had been reminded so much, and they found that something was wrong.

"Yes, how could Uncle Gao know! I also know the purpose of our coming to the house, and everything is ready. ”

Chang Xile frowned slightly, "Do you guess it will be ......?"

The two brothers understood each other's intentions without saying a word, and they did not come back to their senses for a long time. Even Chang Yu didn't say anything, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.

Chang Xisheng sighed deeply, "Uncle Gao has been related to our family's situation all these years. ”

Although the government is well-informed, it is impossible to find out about their family's affairs for a while, and even if they rush back and forth, it will take five days, and they will not be able to catch up at all.

There was only one explanation, Gao Yuan had already paid attention to the situation of their family before.

Chang Xisheng was puzzled: "In that case, why didn't he contact his father?" Didn't Dad say before that at the beginning, he also went to the county to let people help deliver letters to the house, and there were several times a year at the beginning, but then Uncle Gao's side was broken for some reason. If Uncle Gao can investigate the affairs of our family, why don't you know how to deliver news to my father by the way. ”

Chang Xile also shook his head, they didn't say a few words to Gao Yuan at all, and Chang Lao's description of Gao Yuan was not the same thing as what he actually saw, so he couldn't guess what Gao Yuan's thoughts and attitudes were.

What happened back then that turned a high-spirited young man into a sick man who is now in the twilight and seems to be dying at any time?

Chang Xisheng didn't expect Chang Xile to give an answer, but just sighed.

"Let's go back and tell SΓΉ Dad about these things as they are, and Dad may be able to know something."

Chang Xisheng nodded, "That's all it can be." ”

It's been so long since that a lot of things have gone unchecked. Moreover, the rich kid was very powerful, and the people outside were not clear at that time, and it is even more difficult to check now.

With the Shen family's caravan as a companion, it was much easier to go back than when I came, at least I didn't have to worry about being robbed in the middle of the night.

A group of people also returned to Taoyuan Village with so many carriages, and the children playing at the entrance of the village saw this scene and hurriedly jumped and shouted.

When Chang Xile and his party entered the village, there were already many people gathered there, and the leader was Li Zheng.

If there is such a big commotion, Lizheng will definitely appear.

As soon as Li Zhengyi saw that it was Chang Xile and his party, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chang Xile said with a smile: "Li Zheng, they are the caravan of the Shen family in the house, and they are specially here to transport dogwood sauce, spicy rice oil, tea seed oil and vermicelli. ”

Li Zheng had already learned the news that Chang Xile and his party were going to the house, and he knew what it was for. Although he was very confident in the things produced by the Chang family, he never expected that he would come to this point.

Fuli is so far from Taoyuan Village, and the other party actually came to transport it in person, which is also sincere. And there must be a lot of them, so they are willing to divide this god.

Li Zheng waved his hand and hurriedly asked people to prepare meals, which is not just a matter of the Chang family, but a matter of the entire Taoyuan Village!

After a while ago, Li Zheng understood very well that if the Chang family's business flourished, it would benefit the entire Taoyuan Village.

Not to mention Chang Xisheng told him that if there was a way out for rice and grain in the future, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

The Chang family who got the news also rushed over, and the grandmother couldn't help crying when she saw Chang Xile, "My baby, I've lost so much weight after going out for so long, and I don't know how much I have suffered along the way." ”

Chang Xile smiled and comforted: "Mother, we are all fine, it is you who feel sorry for me and my second brother, so I feel thin." ”

Grandma Sun only then reacted that there was a Chang Xisheng next to her, although her attitude towards Chang Xisheng was much better than before these days, but she had ignored it for so many years, and she habitually only had Chang Xile in her eyes. hurriedly remedied: "You two brothers have worked hard, Shanzi, Xing'er don't call your father yet, look at your father's tiredness, it's all for our family." ”

Shanzi and Xing'er had long wanted to pounce, and when they heard this, they hurriedly rushed into Chang Xisheng's arms.

Chang Xisheng held one in one hand and smiled from ear to ear.

And when everyone knew the 'results' of Chang Xisheng and his party, everyone was smiling from ear to ear.

There is no need for the Chang family to entertain the Shen family's caravan at all, so the people in the village will help to do it, so that they can make up for Chang Xile and a few people who are running all the way, and they don't have to worry about this.

Almost all the people in the Shen family's caravan were drunk that night and were placed in various villagers' homes to rest. Just a glass of wine, let them deeply understand the enthusiasm of the people of Taoyuan Village.

The Shen family's caravan transported all the goods it needed the next day, and the Chang family's warehouse was suddenly half empty.

The people of Taoyuan Village were very hot when they saw the things in the Changjia warehouse being taken away in a steady stream, and they all wanted to go to the harvest season immediately. Everyone secretly made up their minds that this time they must work harder than before.

Many people with flexible brains have transplanted dogwood and camellia trees into their own vacant land, as long as there is a market, they don't have to worry about the Chang family not always doing this business, and then after a few years, they will have money to sit at home!

Chang Xile did not explicitly encourage everyone to plant, but his attitude was very encouraging.

This is also to prevent some people from taking the cultivated land to grow these things for the sake of immediate profits. Although cash crops make money, grain is still the most basic, and we must first ensure that there is enough food before we can think about anything else.

Taoyuan Village has many people and little arable land, so it is not possible to encourage large-scale planting at present, and it is not easy to open up wasteland, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it has to be done step by step.

The rape flowers that Chang Xile planted before are ripe and can be picked for oil extraction. These rape flowers grow very well because of the abundance of fertilizer, and there are also a lot of rapeseeds.

Chang Xixing said: "You taught us that the fertilizer you used to make is very good, just look at the rape flowers." The soil is fertile, and these things are just grown. ”

Father Chang also said: "The experienced formulas in the village all say that this fertilizer is good, and now the village is using it." And this year, because of the canal, the people in our village don't have to worry about it this year. A few veterans in the village estimate that this year's rice yield in our village will be at least one or two percent higher than last year! ”

One or two percent may sound inconspicuous, but for the peasant family, it is already very remarkable. Because the fertility was not enough before, it was not easy to increase the yield and not decline.

Chang Xile was also very happy in his heart, he only knew theories before, and now he can be sure that those things are good, then it couldn't be better.

"After all these rapeseed seeds are harvested, let's use that acre of land to grow cotton."

Chang's family was puzzled, "Cotton? What's that? ”

Chang Xile said: "This is just from outside, this thing can be grown and spun into cloth like hemp, and it can also be made into quilts, which is very warm." Cotton is a good thing, softer and warmer than hemp, and more productive than silk, and it will surely be popular in the whole good country in the future. Let's be one step ahead, and when the time comes, we will not only be able to meet our own needs, but also sell them for money. ”

Everyone was amazed, although they had never heard of this thing, it can be seen that Chang Xile completely trusted it when he spoke like this.

Chang Xixing said directly: "Then you teach me how to plant it, I haven't served this thing, and I don't know how to start." ”

Father Chang directly announced, "In the future, you can go to that acre of land casually, plant whatever you want, and let your eldest brother give you a hand." ”

Chang Xi was very happy to see everyone's unconditional support, and he was extremely happy in his heart. If everyone disagrees, many things will have to be delayed.

In private, Chang Xisheng and Chang Xile talked to Chang Dad and told Chang Dad about Gao Yuan's situation one by one.

When Father Chang heard them guessing that Gao Yuan had been paying attention to their family, and he was reluctant to see each other because of the hardships he had suffered in the past, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he sighed deeply, "After so many years, he is still so stubborn and stubborn. ”

"Dad, don't you really plan to go to the mansion to have a look? I see that Uncle Gao is a little bad. Chang Xisheng said.

Father Chang frowned and did not speak.

Chang Xile said: "So many years have passed since that incident in the past, and now the house has changed a lot, Dad, you don't have to worry about the past." I always felt that he wanted to see you, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately revealed the things that have paid attention to us all these years. ”

Father Chang still didn't speak for a long time, and only after half a ring did he speak: "He is still the same as before, he has all his thoughts hidden in his heart, but he doesn't say it happily." When the canal is opened, I'll go into the house and take a look. I was so angry at that time that I swore a poisonous oath before leaving, and I had to find someone to solve before I could set foot in there. ”

Whether Daddy Chang is really superstitious and worried, or whether he has concerns and deliberately delays time, Chang Xile and Chang Xisheng will not ponder, after all, Gao Yuan is just a person who is not very familiar with them.

Chang Xile went home to repair for two days, and then took Chang Yu to the wasteland where Chang Dad said before that he couldn't grow anything. He kept saying that he would take the time to take a look, but he had been busy all the time, and it was not until now that the matter of dogwood tea oil was solved, and he had some time to take a look.

This wasteland is far away from Taoyuan Village, and it takes more than half an hour to walk, but the area is very wide. Not only that, but it is also very flat, which is very rare for Taoyuan Village and even the entire Daoxiang County.

Daoxiang County is a typical mountainous area, and it is very difficult to find a flat land the size of a football field, and the fields are often only the size of half a basketball court, or even smaller.

In front of him, there was an endless flat land, and Chang Xile didn't measure it, but he saw that there were at least thousands of acres.

No wonder Daddy Chang is so sorry, such a good land can't grow things, how can people not be annoyed. If it can be used, the entire Daoxiang Village will not have to worry about having no land. Even if it is not used to grow rice grains, but to grow other things, it is good.

Chang Xile now has cotton seeds and wants to put them to good use. If he can grow it, he won't have to worry about having no market.

The more variety of things produced in the village, the less afraid of being checked and balanced.

Although it is difficult to achieve scale in this way, on the other hand, there is no need to worry about too many products and no sales can only be sold cheaply. If you have a lot of tricks, this can't do that, you can't starve to death after all.

This world is unpredictable, and Chang Xile's plan is different from his previous life, focusing more on stability and not putting everything in one bowl. Although it is inevitable to suffer losses, it is better than not achieving the same and ruining the family.

Chang Yu was also very happy to see this place, because it was very wide, and he could practice archery freely.

Daoxiang Village is too crowded, and it is easy to accidentally injure people if he wants to practice archery, so Chang Xile does not let him practice in the village. But if you go into the woods, there are barriers everywhere, and it is easy to find arrows when they are shot.

But here you don't have to worry at all, not only is it wide and there are no people, but it is simply the most suitable.

"Little Meow likes it here?"

Chang Yu nodded heavily, "I like it!" ”

Chang Xile smiled, knowing that Chang Yu had been itching in his heart for a long time, and he had always wanted to practice archery. But the conditions do not allow it, so I can only practice the movements at home, and I can't really shoot arrows. Although it is possible to make an arrow without a head, the strength of this bow is too great, and even if the head is wrapped in cloth, it is very dangerous to shoot at a person.

"Since then, we have come often, and our little meow will be the ones who want to be generals in the future." Chang Xile touched his head and said, now Chang Yu's hair can be tied up like an ordinary person, but Chang Xile still likes to rub his hair, and Chang Yu doesn't mind.

Chang Yu's eyes are bright, and like other boys, he has a natural longing for the word general.

"Lele."

"Huh?"

"I, I want, buy a horse."

Chang Xile was stunned, and then immediately reacted.

The leader of the Shen family's caravan rode a tall horse, and he had found that Chang Yu was very interested in it before, and it was not surprising that he wanted a horse now.

In fact, he originally wanted to buy a horse for Chang Yu, although there were not many tricks in the first martial arts test, but riding is a very basic skill, if a military attache can't even ride a horse, he will definitely be laughed to death, and it is very likely that this project will be opened at that time.

Chang Xile has not said anything, just hoping that Chang Yu will tell him himself. Originally, he also hinted a few times, but Chang Yu didn't say anything, as if he wasn't interested, but he didn't expect to suddenly mention it at this time.

"Little Meow wants to ride in the carriage?" Chang Xile said deliberately.

Chang Yu shook his head, "I, I want to, ride, horse." Might, wind! ”

Chang Xile was so happy when he heard this, Chang Yu became more and more able to express his meaning in words, and he even could say the word 'majestic'.

"Okay, I'll send a letter to the city and ask Shen Gongzi to help you find it. What kind of horse does Meow want? Pony or Adult Pony? ”

Chang Yu thought seriously for a while, "Pony." ”

"Why? Is Little Meow afraid that she will fall off the horse? ”

Chang Yu shook his head, "From, small, raise, listen, talk." ”

Chang Xile looked surprised, "Little Meow still knows this." ”

Chang Yu frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy, "I, yes, big, human." ”

Chang Xile couldn't hold back his laughter at this time, remembering that not long ago someone said not to grow up, and only a few days later said that he was an adult. Children's hearts are really the same as the weather in summer, they change when they say it.

Seeing Chang Yu's eyes staring at him directly, obviously revealing his dissatisfaction, he said: "Our little meow has indeed grown up, and it will become more and more powerful." ”

Chang Yu straightened up his small chest, and said smoothly without a little stuck: "I want to protect Lele." ”
