Chapter 147: Unflowering Feelings
A year ago, after Chen Zhongqiu knew that Ma taro could make a lot of money, he did not hesitate to invest a lot of silver.
With the help of the Chen family's power, the current Zhao Canniang has bought thousands of acres of land, of course, most of the sloping land, and everyone is unwilling to sell the fertile land.
Even if Zhao Canniang bought it, it would not be used to grow hemp taro.
There is actually a reason why Zhao Canniang bought so much sloping land, because Zhao Canniang found that the sloping land is more suitable for the growth of hemp taro.
Hearing Chen Zhongqiu's words, Zhao Canniang thought for a while, and then said: "It's going to be kept for the Ke family, but if the price is good, there is nothing to sell, this year's hemp taro harvest is very good, I'm just afraid that those merchants who go to the village will mess around." ”
Because the taro growers have signed a contract for Zhao Canniang, as long as they are planted, they must be sold to Zhao Canniang in the future, and Zhao Canniang gives them a guaranteed price.
Everyone is not stupid, to be able to get such a guarantee is undoubtedly what everyone wants the most, so that there is no need to worry about not being able to sell the taro at that time, and there is no need to worry about everyone casually opening prices and disrupting the market.
After listening to Zhao Canniang's words, Chen Zhongqiu dispelled his doubts.
But then he continued to ask: "At this time last year, the Ke family had already come to buy hemp taro, why hasn't anyone come here this year?" ”
Zhao Canniang naturally didn't know this, but when she thought of Ke Tianlin in her mind, Zhao Canniang sighed helplessly, I'm afraid that person wants to escape! After all, it's embarrassing to meet like this now.
The last time I saw Ke Tianlin, the two had the opportunity to be alone together. Ke Tianlin said a lot of things to Zhao Canniang, he said. For the sake of the Ke family, he can only wronged himself, and he doesn't like Ji Yanran. But Ji Yanran can give him a lot of help.
Zhao Canniang actually sympathized with Ji Yanran when she heard those words, after all, she married a man who didn't love her at all, and you can imagine how difficult life was.
Zhao Canniang did not ride in a carriage with Chen Zhongqiu, after all, she is not a little girl now, so she should naturally avoid suspicion.
The two carriages quickly arrived at Zhaojiazhuang.
Although Zhao Dafu informed Zhao Canniang in the morning, but now when he walked to the entrance of the village, he was already congested by the carriage and couldn't get in, so he got off the carriage at the entrance of the village.
At the door of Zhao Can's mother's house. At the moment, it was very lively, there were many men with foreign accents talking to the villagers, Zhao Canniang frowned after a glance, and after a rough glance, she found that there were at least a dozen outsiders in the crowd, and judging from the number of carriages at the entrance of the village, I am afraid that there are more than these dozen people.
Why are so many people here this time? Zhao Canniang was very puzzled, after all, she had never been here before.
When the sharp-eyed villagers saw Zhao Canniang, they immediately shouted: "The person you are waiting for is here, we don't have any hemp taro in our hands." But she has it on her hands. ”
As soon as he had finished saying this, the merchants immediately turned around and gathered around.
Looking at Zhao Canniang one by one, Chen Zhongqiu naturally became a flower messenger at this time.
Looking at the businessman in front of him who wanted to buy hemp, Zhao Canniang could only be speechless.
"Let's talk about it one by one! Together, you say I don't know who to listen to. Zhao Canniang was surrounded by more than a dozen people. I can stand it there, and these two sentences were almost shouted out by Zhao Canniang.
Those businessmen had a lot of eyes that changed after seeing Zhao Canniang's appearance, and Zhao Canniang was indeed very beautiful. The skin is fair, and the curved willow eyebrows give people a very soft feeling. The proportion of facial features is also just right, and the key is that Zhao Canniang still has something that can attract people. It is the special temperament exuded by Zhao Canniang.
It's not the kind of atmosphere that everyone is showy, nor is it the kind of gentleness and grace on the little jasper, what Zhao Canniang exudes is very special, especially because Zhao Canniang has a kind of heroism that only a big husband has, plus Zhao Canniang's appearance, when combined, it gives people a feeling, and always feels extremely attractive.
The rest is Zhao Canniang's current age and identity, who would have thought that a girl who has not yet reached the end of her life would be in charge of such a big business.
Although when they came, they already knew a little bit about Zhao Canniang, but they were not comprehensive.
Zhao Canniang is used to this kind of suspicion and amazing eyes, the parents of the body, Zhao Canniang's heart has no difference between beauty and ugliness, especially those eyes with different expressions, Zhao Canniang automatically ignores them.
After a businessman standing at the front heard Zhao Canniang say this, he naturally understood what Zhao Canniang meant, so he turned to the businessman who was still talking and pressed his hand, signaling everyone not to say it.
The merchants around saw the merchants in front of them signaling like this, after all, everyone came for the same purpose, and face was to be given, so they quieted down all of a sudden.
And the villagers who watched the excitement did not continue to speak one by one at this time.
Zhao Canniang just stood there quietly, only to hear the leading businessman say to the other businessmen: "We are all the same goal, if everyone can trust me, let me talk to this young lady instead of everyone!" ”
After saying that, the merchants all nodded, indeed, everyone came here for the same purpose. In the face of the same interests, everyone temporarily twisted into a rope.
After the businessman saw that everyone nodded in agreement, he looked back at Zhao Canniang, and then said to Zhao Canniang: "Please don't blame Miss for being abrupt, I want to ask if you can really call the shots in this taro business?" ”
This is a bit abrupt, but Zhao Canniang doesn't care, and she has not had such doubts before.
Nodding very seriously, Zhao Canniang said: "I can naturally call the shots in this business, and I can't hide it from the fact that I am purchasing the taro in the nearby village, and I have full agency, and I myself have more than 1,000 acres of land, so if you really want to buy the taro, it is best to talk to me." ”
Zhao Canniang's words were very serious, these businessmen were not fools, because when Zhao Canniang said these words, no one in the village objected.
Other words. What Zhao Canniang said is true.
The leading businessman couldn't help but admire Zhao Canniang coming.
A woman of such a big size is in charge of such a big business. And it seems to be orderly and orderly. It's really amazing.
The leading man knew that this place was not suitable for business talks, so he asked, "I don't know if Miss has a quiet place?" ”
If you want to find a quieter place, you naturally want to sit down and have a good conversation.
Zhao Canniang also felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people, and besides, talking about business involves a lot of privacy, so you can't let everyone know.
As soon as she figured this out, Zhao Canniang nodded without hesitation.
"Well, there's no problem with this, you can come with me." After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, she walked directly to the courtyard of her house.
The courtyard gate was locked with a large lock.
If you are careful, you will find it while standing outside the yard. It seems that there is no garden in the yard at all.
Yes, Zhao Canniang has already spent a lot of effort to change the yard, because after buying a house outside, this house was empty, and last year Zhao Canniang successfully bought the land, so he bought the yard of the Chu family next door, although there were some twists and turns in the middle, but in the end he bought it, after buying the yard. Zhao Canniang built several warehouses next door to store hemp taro.
When the gate of the courtyard opened, all I saw was several large pillars.
The former yard is now covered with tiles, and now the yard is full of taro.
There is a small road in the middle, and Zhao Canniang walks in front to lead the way. Walked straight in.
When the door is opened, everything inside the house remains unchanged.
Because Zhao Dafu's family is often helping Zhao Canniang clean, the tables and chairs are clean.
After arranging for a dozen businessmen to sit down. The inside of the room noticeably became crowded all at once.
Zhao Canniang was the only one who came in with Chen Zhongqiu, and Zhao Dafu naturally stood outside the door and guarded. Don't let outsiders disturb Zhao Canniang to talk about business.
Now it is impossible to make tea for these people to drink, Zhao Canniang looked at the businessman who led before and asked, "You can talk about business now." ”
The leading merchant nodded politely. Then he said: "All of us are naturally here to buy hemp taro." It's just that everyone's needs are different, what I want is a 2,000-pound larger taro, and a 500-pound smaller taro. ”
The merchant paused, then continued, "Everyone's needs are about the same, and they want to buy big and small. ”
The scene was quiet, which means that everyone agrees with what the leader said.
Zhao Canniang had a gentle smile on her face, and then said: "The amount you want is a bit large, but with all due respect, you don't just buy hemp taro for consumption!" ”
Isn't it obvious to buy a small hemp taro? Definitely bought and grown.
When the leading businessman heard Zhao Canniang say this, he didn't hide it and nodded: "We really want to grow hemp taro." ”
Chen Zhongqiu frowned when he heard this.
Zhao Canniang didn't care.
Said lightly: "You have also seen the taro outside, the size is actually not different there, if you want to buy and plant, I suggest you buy our taro planting, so that the planting cost is relatively low, and there is a lot of a catty." ”
Zhao Canniang said that the seeds produced after the flowering of the taro, because there are a lot of taro planted now, just leaving the tubers out to reproduce, it is completely impossible to meet the needs of Zhao Canniang, so I later thought about using the seeds that bear after the flowering of the taro, in fact, they are almost the same.
The only difference is that you have to bother more.
The businessmen present didn't expect Zhao Canniang to be so easy to talk to, and if the cost of planting could be reduced, it would attract more people to plant.
What they don't know is that when Zhao Canniang made this decision, she had already changed the path of her future development.
This year's harvest is very good, and now these businessmen also buy more and buy less, and soon, Zhao Canniang directly bought tens of thousands of catties of hemp taro out.
The price of hemp taro is not expensive, plus there are many people planting, the price has not been raised, but the price has not fallen, Zhao Canniang bought the price is five yuan, and the price sold is seven yuan, and generally speaking, it is relatively stable.
There are many big men in the village who are helping Zhao Canniang to do things, pretending to be hemp taro and moving hemp taro, and they are busy all of a sudden.
Today it was just bagging, and the merchants had to wait until they found the wagon to pull it away.
Zhao Canniang looked at the hemp taro that was sold. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Zhongqiu stood beside Zhao Canniang and looked at the busy people in the courtyard. He asked in a low voice, "Why do you propose to sell hemp taro seeds, such words must have a great impact on our business." ”
There are more people planting. Naturally, the price will not be so wishful, and Zhao Canniang will only harm herself if she continues like this.
But Zhao Canniang's thoughts are obviously not like this.
She thinks a lot, taro cultivation can never make a lot of money, at most another year, then the taro will be in trouble, when the time is more planters, the price will be lowered, and now Zhao Canniang wants to find a permanent road.
Zhao Canniang didn't look at Chen Zhongqiu, just looked into the distance, and then said, "I don't know if you have found a problem." This taro is now gradually saturated in the market, that is to say, the taro we grow is almost enough for the people of the ancient Zhou Kingdom. ”
There are many warehouses like Zhao Canniang's house, and there are many Zhuangzi nearby, that is to say, each of these Zhuangzi warehouses has hoarded tens of thousands of catties of hemp taro.
In the past, Zhao Canniang sold hemp taro to the Ke family, and the amount at that time was naturally not much, but last year and this year, there were more villagers who planted hemp taro. Moreover, Zhao Canniang herself has more than 1,000 acres of land, so if you calculate it, the nearby people who grow taro add up to hundreds of acres of land.
There are also a lot of retail investors.
Hearing Zhao Canniang's words, Chen Zhongqiu was a little stunned.
Oh, yes. Sooner or later, this business will not be done: "So what are your plans?" Chen Zhongqiu asked a little puzzled. He just wanted to hear Zhao Canniang's plans for the future.
This time, Zhao Canniang did not flicker as before, but said directly: "First of all, I want to process the hemp taro myself, and now we sell the whole hemp taro." In fact, hemp taro can be processed, I dare to guarantee that as long as you have made hemp taro yourself. I hate the trouble of grinding hemp taro, so I think I cut the hemp taro into pieces and dry it myself. Then grind it into powder and sell it, so that the price will be doubled, and there will be no need for so many warehouses at that time, and our land, I plan to plant something that should be quilted. ”
After Zhao Canniang finished saying this, Chen Zhongqiu frowned.
"Grow something else? What do you want to plant? ”
Zhao Canniang just smiled weirdly and did not answer Chen Zhongqiu.
She certainly won't reveal her next steps now.
Seeing Chen Zhongqiu's ugly face, Zhao Canniang smiled slightly, and then said: "You can rest assured that it will naturally not let you lose money, I don't have the bottom of my heart now, I still have to investigate, and when the time comes, I will still buy the hemp taro planted by the nearby villagers at the original price, so that there will not be too much pressure." ”
Zhao Canniang thought clearly, such a large-scale planting to make money must be profitable.
After all, the cost of a piece of land is not high, and the expenditure is not very high, so it is a business that can really be done.
Seeing that Zhao Canniang looked determined to win, Chen Zhongqiu didn't say anything anymore, he believed Zhao Canniang.
And the amount of silver invested is a lot in the eyes of outsiders, but in Chen Zhongqiu's opinion, it is just a drop in the bucket.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and when he went down, the caravan of the Ke family came.
As for the more and more hemp taro planted from Zhao Canniang, the purchase of hemp taro is no longer done by the shopkeeper, but the Ke family sends people over every year.
After seeing that the team leader was Ke Tianlin, Zhao Canniang calmed down rarely.
I haven't seen Ke Tianlin for a year, and it seems that Ke Tianlin is more calm and mature.
The people of the village began to get busy again.
Ke Tianlin's mood couldn't calm down after seeing Zhao Canniang.
I haven't seen Zhao Canniang for a year, and in Ke Tianlin's eyes, it seems to be even more beautiful and moving.
"Why are you here now this year?" Zhao Canniang frowned and looked at Ke Tianlin, but saw that Ke Tianlin had a faint smile on his face.
Stopping at a distance of about three steps from Zhao Canniang, Ke Tianlin said with a smile: "There are some things at home that have been delayed this year, and it seems that the taro harvest is very good this year?" ”
Zhao Canniang nodded, and suddenly she didn't know how to say the next words to Ke Tianlin.
Ke Tianlin's untimely voice rang out: "I'm a father." ”
When Zhao Canniang heard this, she immediately felt a sour nose, and she had never felt so wronged in her heart.
I couldn't help but think of all the things I had experienced with Ke Tianlin before.
Ke Tianlin said that even if he gets married, he will only have Zhao Canniang in his heart.
But now that I think about it, it's all so funny.
For this relationship that has withered before it blooms, Zhao Canniang really doesn't know how to express her heart.
"Congratulations." Zhao Canniang said with a forced smile.
None of the busy people around noticed the strange expressions of the two, and in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Canniang at this time was talking about business with Ke Tianlin.
Ke Tianlin's heart was actually very painful, but he had no choice, Ji Yanran already knew that he was in love with Zhao Canniang, and he didn't know how to do it.
Zhao Canniang's mind was full of the past, the time she spent with Ke Tianlin before, laughing at herself, Zhao Canniang knew that in this era, that man could do it from the beginning, almost nothing!
"Canniang, I'm sorry." Ke Tianlin sincerely apologized.
He really feels sorry for Zhao Canniang, he has put a lot of thought into Zhao Canniang in the past two years, from the first time he met Zhao Canniang, he fell in love with Zhao Canniang, but the mission of the family, the responsibility on his shoulders, and the responsibility of a big man made him have to give up this feeling.
Zhao Canniang smiled slightly and looked down on the past.
"By the way, Young Master Ke, I want to discuss the matter of Ma Taro with you." Zhao Canniang no longer worries about emotional matters, and now she may be more suitable for business! (To be continued......)
