Chapter 23: A Long-Term Plan (2)
Duanwu said with a smile: "So have you ever thought about what to do if the silver earned from selling honeysuckle runs out, and then go to steal honeysuckle?" β
"Thisβ" Xie Ling paused for a moment, and sighed, "my mother has recently taken on some embroidery work, and ten pairs of insoles can earn one copper coin, and embroidered handkerchiefs are more expensive, and if you embroider well, you can sell them for ten copper coins." My mother will hurry up to work. β
"Mother, you are so busy raising silkworms and housework, and you have to do embroidery, you will be really tired."
"It's okay, my mother is still young and can afford to eat."
"But mother, this is not a long-term solution after all." A gust of wind blows, the candles in the house are shaking, and the family can't even afford to light candles.
Xie Ling looked at the Dragon Boat Festival, "Dragon Boat Festival, you specially came over to ask your mother, do you have any plans?" β
The handsome face of the Dragon Boat Festival rippled with a smile, "Knowing a girl is better than a mother." Yes, mother, my daughter has thought of a long-term plan that doesn't have to work so hard in the future. β
"You girl, you're still a crazy mother, don't say it quickly." Xie Ling caressed and poked Dragon Boat Festival's forehead.
"Mother, I want to use the remaining eight taels of silver to buy some mulberry fields and silkworm babies."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Ling was shocked.
"Dragon Boat Festival, do you want to do silkworm trading by yourself?"
"Yes, mother." Dragon Boat Festival Chengzhu nodded in his chest, "Do you think, mother, our village is famous for sericulture, and the cocoons sold are much more expensive than those in other villages." But we raised silkworms for the Xie family in vain, and the Xie family didn't give us a penny. It's better for us to be self-financed, and with the good reputation of the silkworms in Dafenjiao Village, we will definitely be able to sell at a good price. Besides, mother, your silkworm raising skills are the best in the village. You see this plague, the people who raise silkworms in the whole village have more or less lost, but we don't. We raise silkworms and mulberries ourselves, how can we lose to the Xie family? β
Xie Ling got up, stomped back and forth and thought, none of the words of the Dragon Boat Festival were wrong, but the matter is big, the Dragon Boat Festival is just a child after all, and she has never done business, can her plan be implemented?
"Are you thinking that it costs a lot of silver to buy mulberry land, and there is also a risk of loss in raising silkworms, if you lose money, won't you even have the capital?" Dragon Boat Festival asked with a calm smile.
"And, Dragon Boat Festival, have you ever thought that Mrs. Xie may not sell the land to us. I have to think twice about this fact. β
Dragon Boat Festival insisted: "Now Mrs. Xie's silkworm babies have died a lot, and they have suffered heavy losses, and they are short of money at hand." At this time, you can get the biggest discount by buying mulberry from them. If we wait for them to survive, I am afraid that they will not sell mulberry land. Besides, doing business is indeed risky, but we have been cultivating mulberry and silkworms for a long time, and we already have enough experience, if we don't try, I'm afraid that we won't be able to get rid of poverty in this life. At that time, the marriage between the eldest brother and Yichen will be even more helpless. β
Xie Lingmao suddenly opened her mouth as she spoke, her eyes lit up, her long eyelashes blinked, and the talent that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time was surging. "Really? Buying land for business? Dragon Boat Festival, aren't you coaxing your mother? β
"Of course not, mother, you don't have to worry, we raise silkworms for others are smooth, if we do it ourselves, it will only get better and better. And in the future, when the business is long and bigger, we can hire workers to do it, and we can buy bigger houses and live a better life. β
The Dragon Boat Festival showed Xie Ling such a beautiful picture of the future, and Xie Ling suddenly became excited, and his face turned slightly red. A rich and carefree life was what she had when she was young, but later, God took away a qiΔ, so that she no longer dared to hope for extravagance. Now, can she still turn over the carp as the Dragon Boat Festival said?
She is a young woman in her early thirties, her husband is missing, her eldest son is gone, and she is helpless with a few oil bottles, she once thought that her life would be like this, a meal of rice porridge, a pair of cloth shoes,
After starting a family with her children, she is worthy of her missing husband's family.
However, the Dragon Boat Festival ignited her long-standing passion, and she doesn't want to live a life of going with the flow now!
"Dragon Boat Festival, my mother agreed, but, is our silver enough to buy land?" Xie Ling finally turned his attention to the substance.
Under the wise rule of the new monarch, the economy developed well, so the price was also expensive. The Dragon Boat Festival had already flipped through the books of the Da Ming Dynasty, of course she wouldn't have been unaware. It's just that the land of Dafenjiao Village is a special case.
"Mother, you listen to the Dragon Boat Festival slowly. The big house in this town, just an ordinary one, even the land does cost hundreds of taels of gold, and the land in the village next door to us costs dozens of taels to buy and plant. However, the village of Da Fenjiao is different. You know, the foot of the grave is famous for its graveyards, and a lot of people buy land to make graves. The mountains are full of graves. Therefore, no one buys the land where vegetables are grown, and they are afraid of bad luck. The mulberry land here is so good, why do you only hear that some merchants come to buy mulberry seeds, but they don't buy the land? Because the people of this place generally believe in Feng Shui. I am afraid that buying land will touch bad luck and affect the business. Because the price is so low, there are generally no people who sell mulberry fields. However, if you really want to buy it, the price will definitely be cheaper than that of the neighboring village. Besides, now Mrs. Xie is short of silver, she will be happy who gives her silver, and we can just keep the price down. β
"That's reasonable, Dragon Boat Festival, is it just that these eight taels of silver are enough?" Xie Ling still held on to his illusions.
"Mother, this is buying land after all." The Dragon Boat Festival poured cold water into the empty bowl, and after talking for a long time, his mouth was dry, but Xie Ling still didn't open his mind much, alas. I really convinced her.
"Do you want to use itβ" Xie Ling said, involuntarily clutching the crockpot containing the money.
The Dragon Boat Festival pulled Xie Ling to sit down, and said slowly: "Mother, this is the eight taels of silver that my sister exchanged for her life and dignity, and I will definitely return it to my sister after the Dragon Boat Festival." "Dragon Boat Festival thought, in the future, the business will be stable, not to mention eight taels of silver, she will definitely give her sister's marriage a decent and decent way.
"Thisβ" Xie Ling hesitated. Dragon Boat Festival knew that Xie Ling loved Erya too much, so he hesitated, so he smiled and said: "Mother, you don't have to make a decision tonight, it's so late, you have a good rest, and it's not too late to reply to the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow." β
"It's fine." Xie Ling was preoccupied. [bookid=2992431,bookname="The Doctor"]
