Chapter 572: Happiness Came So Sudden
The sun slowly hung in mid-air, shining on the land of Guanzhong.
The blue sky, the white clouds, and the chirping of birds from time to time could be heard in the trees.
However, Shui Ergui was not in the mood to appreciate it.
Some of the peaches that ripen first have begun to rot because they were not picked in time.
In previous years, this season was the busiest and happiest time for the villagers of Peach Village.
However, now it is a gloomy and bleak situation.
In later generations, there are actually many such scenes.
For example, a farmer made a lot of money planting chili peppers this year, and next year a bunch of people in the village will definitely follow suit to plant chili peppers, and then everyone will lose all their money.
Or if you see someone who has opened a rice noodle shop and made a lot of money, there will be a similar rice noodle shop next to it immediately, until everyone has no money to earn.
The group buying website war back then was the same scene.
Countless lessons, as long as they don't happen to you, no matter how hard others talk about them, it's useless.
"Ergui, while the price is lowered, you can still sell some peaches, let's hurry up and sell as many as you can, wait any longer, it will really be useless."
The second uncle stood next to Shui Ergui, looking at the huge peaches on the peach tree, and his heart was full of reluctance.
"Well, second uncle, I listen to you, wait a minute, I will let the servants at home start picking ripe peaches, pull them to the official road, as long as someone buys them, I will sell them no matter how much money it is!"
Shui Ergui finally recognized the reality and knew that he was going to break the fortune this time.
"If only you could figure it out. This money, if you don't bring it in life, don't bring it in death, don't worry too much. ”
The second uncle patted Shui Ergui on the shoulder and sighed.
……
"Haha, isn't this the big family of Peach Village, Shui Ergui, Shui Langjun? How? Selling peaches? Anyone wants it? ”
When Shui Ergui took a few servants and walked towards the official road with peaches, Tian Jing from Tianjia Village next door gloated and stopped in front of Shui Ergui.
This Tian Jing, who is about the same age as Shui Ergui, is a well-known splash in the surrounding area.
When he was stealing peaches in Peach Village, Shui Ergui taught him a lesson, and the two of them were concluded.
However, in the past few years, Shui Ergui has developed, and Tian Jing didn't dare to find trouble with him.
Now, things are clearly different.
Whether it is Peach Village or Tianjia Village, almost every household has planted a large number of peach trees.
The situation of unsalable peaches, Tian Jing naturally knows about it.
In his opinion, Shui Ergui, the person who planted the most peach trees in ten miles and eight townships, must be unlucky.
"Tian Jing! Get out of the way! ”
Shui Ergui's face turned dark and he didn't want to deal with him.
"Yo! Yo! In this tone, do you really think you are a big person? Phew! ”
Tian Jing picked his nostrils with his hand, dug out something, pressed his index finger against his thumb, and flicked it out hard.
The yin and yang in his mouth are talking weirdly, the eyes, the expression, are completely like watching the excitement and not thinking of a big deal.
"Good dogs don't get in the way, what's the matter, Tian Jing, you want to fight?"
Shui Ergui dared to teach Tian Jing a lesson back then, and now he is naturally not afraid of him.
Of course, he also heard that Tian Jing had been fighting with several people within a radius of dozens of miles this year, and from time to time he did some things to bully honest people.
It's just that a dozen of them often hang out in groups, and ordinary people really don't dare to mess with him.
Shui Ergui naturally doesn't want to be troublesome.
"Yo! Shui Langjun has such a big breath, why, there are a few more servants behind him today, do you feel that you have become more confident in speaking? Hehe! Others are afraid of you, but I, Tian Jing, am not afraid!
Maybe next month, these servants of yours will run away! By the way, I heard that you borrowed money from Datang Royal Bank, and you will have to pay it back next month, right? Can you afford it? Do you want me to help you figure it out? ”
Tian Jing felt that today was too happy.
The most prestigious water in Peach Village is now a mess in front of him.
From now on, who else in the surrounding villages will dare to mess with themselves?
"I'll say one more thing, get out of the way!"
Shui Ergui said with a pale face.
However, the servants behind him, who had just bought it not long ago, had worried expressions on their faces.
Obviously, Tian Jing's words had some impact on them.
Their deed of sale is still on Shui Ergui, if this Shui Ergui is really unlucky, their life will definitely not be easy.
"This road is not opened by your family, I am willing to stand here and stand here! What, do you have an opinion? You just need to get under my crotch, and I won't trouble you today. ”
Tian Jing has only been taught by Shui Ergui for so many years, and the hatred for him in his heart is naturally very deep.
Some people, after being taught a lesson, never reflect on why they were taught by others, but only remember who provoked them.
"You ......"
Shui Ergui looked around and found that although there were many villagers nearby, none of them came to help him speak.
On the contrary, these people point fingers, but they are a bit of a joke.
Peach Village and Tianjia Village are neighboring villages, but they don't have the feeling that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
On the contrary, in previous years, there were many conflicts due to disputes over water sources and fields.
This is true even in the Hereafter.
The relationship between the two adjacent villages is rarely very good.
"Look at the water and the second expensive, I heard that I bought a house in Chang'an City, and now it's not the same bad luck."
"yes, this person, don't be too high-profile."
"The peach trees planted by his family are about to catch up with half of our village, and his heart is so wild, he deserves to be unlucky."
"Hehe, I advised him not to plant so many peach trees, but he didn't listen, okay, now he's unlucky."
"Che, are you persuading? You can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour. ”
All kinds of rumors reached Shui Ergui's ears, making him feel a burst of despair.
In the countryside, even among relatives, they are often afraid that you are too poor and that you are richer than themselves.
What about the other villagers?
Obviously, these people in Tianjia Village are now looking at their own jokes.
However, without waiting for Shui Ergui to continue talking, he noticed a carriage coming on the path in the distance.
In recent years, the carriage has been in Peach Village and Tianjia Village, which is not a rare object.
But there have never been more than a dozen cars like today.
Tian Jingzheng continued to spray water Ergui with his spittle, but he found that he had been looking towards the village, and when he turned around, he also found the convoy that was getting closer and closer.
"Ayya! I am back! ”
Before the carriage could stop, Shui Jun jumped out of one of the carriages that started at the beginning.
"Jun'er, you ...... How did you get back? ”
Shui Ergui looked at his son in surprise.
He couldn't figure out what was going on. Ninety-six flavors
As for Tian Jing on the side, he found that Shui Jun had come back with a group of convoys, and for fear of suffering a loss in front of him, he quickly and quietly retreated to the side, secretly observing what was happening.
"Aye, I'm here to help you sell peaches!"
Shui Jun had a proud expression on his face.
Yesterday morning, Hong Yi dragged himself to Wang Fugui and explained the situation in the village, which really aroused Wang Fugui's interest.
After a detailed understanding, Wang Fugui decisively prepared to use the peaches around Peach Village as the main source of raw materials for the canning workshop recently.
So there is now a scene where Shui Jun is returning to his hometown with more than a dozen carriages.
Needless to say, these carriages must have been arranged by Wang Fugui.
However, in the eyes of Tian Jing and others, they thought that Shuijun was developed in Chang'an City.
"Selling peaches? How to sell? ”
Shui Ergui had an expectant expression on his face.
When he went to Guanshishan Academy to find Shui Jun, he also had a glimmer of hope.
As a result, I was disappointed.
I didn't expect that after so many days, the situation actually changed again.
"Aye, the canning workshop of the Chu Palace, is ready to come and buy our peaches, as many as you want. You see, I've brought back all the wagons that transport peaches. ”
Shui Jun was very excited.
For the first time in so many years, he felt that he could help his family.
It's a very different feeling.
Just like when many people in later generations received their wages for the first time, whether it was only two or three thousand, or one or two thousand, the excitement would not be less.
"Really...... How many do you really have? ”
Shui Ergui couldn't believe his ears, he was going to admit that he was unlucky, but the peak turned around?
In the current situation, as long as someone comes to buy it, no matter what the price is, he is willing to sell.
Especially Tian Jing's words just now, which brought him a huge stimulus.
"Of course, but the price must be more favorable, after all, the shopkeeper Wang also said that they are wholesale."
Shui Jun never thought that he could rely on this opportunity to make a lot of money.
This is simply unrealistic.
When did the workshop of the Chu Wangfu accept threats from others?
Besides, what qualifications do you have to threaten others?
The current price is completely up to the guy in charge of the canning factory, and there is no room for bargaining at all.
Of course, when Shui Jun came back with the convoy, Wang Fugui also ordered the guys who came over to purchase it in front of him to buy it at a reasonable price.
The price of peaches purchased by various vendors this year is not a big secret, and the guys in charge of purchasing them naturally know it.
So on the way over, Shui Jun knew the purchase price this time.
Although he didn't pay much attention to things at home before, when Shui Ergui came to look for him a while ago, he briefly introduced the situation.
So he also knows that the current purchase price is quite reasonable.
Not only did they consider the current situation this year, but they did not take this opportunity to desperately squeeze farmers.
In general, it is so that everyone can earn a little money this year, at least let everyone earn more money by planting peaches than by farming.
As for windfall profits?
Hehe!
Then don't think about it.
"No problem, that ...... In addition to our family's peaches, other canning workshops also buy them? ”
Shui Ergui's heart is still relatively kind, and when his own problems are solved, he immediately thinks of other relatives, friends and villagers' peaches.
Although they don't plant as much as themselves, they all pay for blood and sweat after all.
"Collect, take it all!"
The guy arranged by Wang Fugui obviously gave Shui Jun a lot of face, basically stood there without making a sound, and gave Shui Jun this opportunity to show his face.
There is no way, the students of Guanshishan Academy are now in the system of the Chu Palace, and their status is higher than that of ordinary people.
This also makes more and more people willing to work hard to join the Guanshishan Academy, and indirectly makes the threshold of the academy higher.
A few years earlier, as long as they were young people of school age who were literate and hyphenated, as long as they wanted to enter Guanshishan Academy, there was basically no problem.
It's different now, after a few entrance exams, seven or eighty percent of the applicants are eliminated, which is normal.
……
"Are these people stupid? In this way, a cart of peaches was transported out, and in the past, everyone picked it up on the official road before it was loaded into the carriage, so they were not afraid that the peaches would be hurt? ”
The convoy brought back by Shui Jun rested in Peach Village for the night, and left the next morning with a full load of peaches.
"Tian Jing, do you think you're smart? I inquired about it last night, and the peaches were shipped back and directly taken to the canning workshop to make canned food.
Because after transporting back, the pieces are cleaned and cut immediately, and the small bumps have no effect at all. On the contrary, if someone has to be picked on the official road every time, it will be troublesome and affect their transportation efficiency. ”
"Tian Laosi, what are you doing there? It's as if you opened this canning workshop. ”
Tian Jing's mood was very lost, he originally thought that after Shui Ergui was unlucky, no one nearby dared to mess with him.
As a result, I didn't expect Shui Jun, a guy who didn't have any sense of existence, to bring a group of convoys back and save the situation.
For the villagers of Peach Village and the surrounding areas, this happiness came too suddenly.
But for Tian Jing, it's the opposite.
The villagers of Tianjia Village, who were originally standing near him yesterday to watch Shui Ergui's jokes, changed their faces when they heard that the canning workshop was buying peaches in large quantities.
One by one, they licked their faces and ran to Peach Village, where they exchanged various greetings at Shui Ergui's house.
Some people even carry an old hen or a basket of eggs directly, wanting Shui Jun to arrange for someone to buy their peaches first.
In the face of interests, everything has changed.
"Tian Jing, others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you. Hmph, I'm a hunter, and whether the canning workshop collects peaches or not has nothing to do with me; If your fox friends come to mess with me, it depends on whether I agree with the bow and arrow in my hand. ”
Tian Laosi was also unhappy and went back.
Originally, seeing that the surrounding neighbors had planted a large number of peach trees, Tian Laosi also felt the pressure.
For a long time, as a hunter, Tian Laosi's family background is quite okay nearby.
But in recent years, many people have earned a lot of money by selling peaches, and Tian Laosi's status in the village has declined sharply.
Originally, this year's peaches were unsalable, and he was secretly happy.
Now, those farmers who didn't listen to their persuasion at the beginning are going to be unlucky, right?
It's more reliable to hunt on your own.
As a result, it hasn't been cool for a few days, and the guys in this canning workshop actually said how many peaches there are, and they want them.
Although the price does not seem to be very ideal, it is enough to make the surrounding villagers happy.
"Hmph, what's the point of hunting! If you really have the ability, go to sea! Tian Laosi, I will go to Chang'an with my brothers tomorrow to find an opportunity to go to the South Seas, I heard that there are not only spice islands overseas, but also gold islands. When the time comes, whether you plant peach trees or hunt, none of you will be able to compare to the little money that leaks out of my fingers. ”
Tian Laosi's words gave Tian Jing some stimulation and made him determined to look for an opportunity to go to sea.
That's been a hot topic for the in recent months.
There are not so many rules overseas, whoever is lucky and ruthless enough may have the greatest harvest!
