Chapter 116: Another Year [Second Update, Ask for Recommendation]
After returning home, the little girl is still happy every day, either taking Xiong Er to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots, or playing with a group of friends, as long as it is a place to go, they will go again, as long as it is something that can be eaten, they will get it to eat, of course, except for going into the mountains and forests, this is not allowed by Fang Jing.
About half a month later, a large group of people and horses from the Qin Wangfu came to Fangjia Village and picked up Princess Qin and her party, but the three little babies of the Qin princess's family did not want to leave Fangjia Village in their hearts, but they were still forcibly pulled on the horse and left, Fang Jing and the people of Fangjia Village were sent out of the village, but they left two guards down, Li Shan was impossible to stay, as the commander of the guards of the Qin Palace, it was necessary to follow at any time, and the guards who stayed still lived in the original arrangement of the Fangjia villagers.
At the same time as Princess Qin and her entourage left, they also moved ten jars of fruit brew, as well as a lot of dried bamboo shoots, beef or some bacon, all of which were given by Fang Jing, although they were not worth anything, they could be regarded as a gift.
The weather began to get colder and colder, and Fang Jing or the villagers would go to the vegetable greenhouse from time to time, either busy with some work in the greenhouse, or listening to the guidance of Fang Jing or Chen Erlin, occasionally adding some heat, occasionally opening a straw mat to breathe, as long as Fang Jing thought it could be done, the villagers would follow Fang Jing's guidance to do it.
Growing up looking at the vegetables in the greenhouse day by day, the eyes of the villagers are full of surprise and hope, these are all money, although I don't know how much money they can sell, but I heard Chen Erlin's nagging from time to time, last year Fang Jing's family sold vegetables for twenty yuan a catty, and he had the greatest expectations in his heart, every day he took care of these vegetables like taking care of his own children, and took care of these vegetables carefully, as long as one died or froze one, he was distressed.
Some time ago, Fang Jing found the village Zheng, and asked the people in the village to make ox cart frames with Fang Dayong, these ox cart frames are for the convenience of selling vegetables in winter, basically every family has made an ox cart, although these things don't cost money, but Fang Dayong is tired and lying down, although Fang Dayong is tired, but in his own heart he is happy, a man with a missing leg finally got the respect he deserves, and he is not a man who can't do anything, which makes Fang Dayong have great feelings every day, Do what you can.
"Murazheng, you can harvest a batch of vegetables to sell in a few days, I mean harvest a batch, go directly to Jinzhou to sell, set off early in the morning, and you should be able to go to Jinzhou after dark at night, call the money waiter to go together, no one dares to take our Fang family when he goes." Fang Jing and Muramasa were standing in a greenhouse talking at this moment, the snow outside had already covered the ground, although the snow was not too thick, it was still cold.
"Jing Wazi, it looks like a batch can be harvested, but calling Qian Shi to go to Jinzhou together, isn't it a bit troublesome?" Mura Zheng was a little worried about calling the Qian servant to go with him, after all, they were still the guards of the Qin Palace, and it was not easy to instruct them.
"It's okay, I'll tell him then, three days later, the whole village will gather the ox carts and come over early in the morning to harvest vegetables, and the weight of each household will be about the same." Fang Jing set a time and approximately, and the rest will be handled by the village.
"Okay, listen to you, Jing Wazi, you said that this vegetable can really be sold for twenty cents a catty? Normally, no one asks for a penny. "Mura Zheng is a little worried that these vegetables can be sold for twenty wen a catty, after all, this is the first time this has happened, and he is indeed a little worried.
"Muramasa, don't worry, even if you can't sell it for twenty wen a catty, you can still sell it for ten wen a catty, and when the time comes, when you go to Jinzhou, you will sell it for twenty wen, and you won't sell it for a penny, and you'd rather rot in the ground than sell it." Although Fang Jing doesn't understand what marketing is, strange goods can live, Fang Jing still understands that this winter's vegetables are unique, and they don't sell for fifty yuan a catty, even if they are worthy of those rich families.
"This ......" Cun Zheng listened to what Fang Jing said, and there was a little drum in his heart, not because of how much money he was selling, but because of Fang Jing's words that he would rather rot in the ground than sell.
Fang Jing didn't care whether the village understood it or not, she had great expectations for vegetables this winter, this is the foundation of Fangjia Village in the future, food is guaranteed, money is guaranteed, so how far can Fangjia Village become rich? If there is a disaster year or something, at least it can ensure that the villagers of Fangjia Village will not be hungry again, otherwise they will really be sorry for Fang Jing.
Three days later, before dawn, no snow and no wind, the adults and children in the village who can basically do their hands have started to harvest vegetables, and each family is busy harvesting a certain amount of vegetables, all of them are full of smiles on their faces, and they are actively busy loading the harvested vegetables into baskets and carrying them to their own ox carts.
As soon as the day dawned, the village was the leader, leading the ox cart, going to the path, followed by a slip of ox cart, each family out of a person led the ox cart to follow behind, the last is two horses, wearing official uniforms Qian Shi and Zhong Dahuai, was also asked by Fang Jing to go to Jinzhou together, originally Fang Jing only asked Qian Shi to go, but he was not at ease, the first time to sell winter vegetables collectively, it is best not to make mistakes, so he asked the two guards of the Qin Wangfu to go out together to reduce some unnecessary trouble.
There are no men's villagers, so they have to follow the women, which is also a helpless thing, and the Tang Dynasty is not like the Ming and Qing dynasties, the control of women is strong, naturally no one will make irresponsible remarks, and no one in the Zhuang family will care about these problems.
When passing through Xiaohe Town, the residents of the market town looked at the slippery ox cart, they were all surprised, so many ox carts, so many vegetables, everyone was dizzy, although the residents of the market town wanted to come forward to ask, but the Qian Shi or Zhong Dahuai who followed on a horse made them afraid, and finally did not dare to come forward to ask a word, who knows which official is this.
When passing through Pingli County, Xiaoshi carried a basket of vegetables to the yellow plum blossom.
"Shopkeeper Huang, this is what Jing Wazi asked us to bring to you by the way, we won't stay longer, we have to hurry to Jinzhou and say goodbye." Xiao Shi handed the vegetables to Huang Meihua, and after saying a few words, he trotted towards the head of the convoy and continued their trip to Golden State.
"Shopkeeper, this? In this winter, where can there be so many vegetables, but do you want to sell them in Jinzhou City? The man looked at the vegetables on the ox cart with envy, and he didn't understand where the vegetables came from this winter.
"I don't know, Nephew Jing doesn't know where to get so many vegetables, it seems that I have to find some time to go to Fangjia Village to have a look." Huang Meihua didn't know where Fangjia Village got so many vegetables, but looking at the basket of vegetables sent by Fang Jing at her feet, her heart was beautiful.
"Wow, mother, where did these vegetables come from?" Wang Jizhi ran out of the stove room at this time, saw a basket of vegetables placed at the door and asked.
"It was sent by your brother Jing, I will get you some breakfast to taste in a while, your brother Jing will not forget to bring you some good things, and I will thank you Brother Jing in the future." Huang Meihua said to Wang Jizhi.
"Ah, this is from Brother Jing, mother, where did Brother Jing get it, vegetables don't grow on snowy days." Wang Jizhi heard that it was sent by Fang Jing, and he was also happy in his heart, but he still knew that vegetables didn't grow on snowy days, but he didn't know why his brother Jing was able to get these vegetables.
When Xiaoshi passed by the shop that sold Hu Cakes, he bought enough Hu Cakes to distribute to everyone, which was a day's rations, and it was estimated that he could only gnaw Hu Cakes for dinner, after all, it was estimated that it would be evening in Jinzhou City, and eating a Hu Cake could also cushion his stomach, at least he didn't have to worry about everyone being hungry.
Before leaving, Fang Jing took a few copper coins to Xiaoshi, and asked him to buy some food on the road, so many people travel, it is not a simple matter, you have to think of eating, drinking and Lazar, not to mention the snow in winter, you have to ensure that you don't get frostbitten, and you have to take good care of the cattle, although the ploughing cattle are not afraid of this kind of weather, but they still need to be taken care of, the ploughing cattle are the lifeblood of the family, otherwise it will be a big trouble.
In the evening, the village and his entourage rushed to Jinzhou City, found a guest house to live in, and waited for the next day to sell these vegetables, the vegetables were covered with a large pile of straw, which was considered to keep warm, but there were still a lot of vegetables to frostbite and frostbite.
"Good vegetables, crispy vegetables, twenty wen a catty, no two prices, please buy it." Early in the morning, the village was leading the ox cart and came to the small market in Dongcheng, which specializes in selling things, and Xiaoshi opened his mouth and shouted.
"This is green vegetables, my God, there are such good vegetables on this snowy day, ah, give me twenty catties." When a Golden State resident heard the shouting, he hurriedly ran over and exclaimed.
"Bring me five pounds."
"Give me ten pounds."
"Give me a hundred pounds."
The endless sound of selling vegetables and buying vegetables is so harmonious, 10,000 catties of vegetables are sold out in less than two quarters of an hour, this is still even frostbitten vegetables are sold, and there are many residents of Jinzhou City, because they are late, but they have not bought vegetables, and they all ask Xiaoshi if they have tomorrow.
"Everyone, everyone, we need seven days to come to Golden State, but we can't come tomorrow, it's too far, and the ox cart is slow, I'm sorry everyone, we will deliver a batch of vegetables to Golden State again in seven days." Xiao Shi bowed to a large group of people with his fists, which was regarded as reparation.
After the end of the vegetable sale, after packing up the things, the village is their group, and led the ox cart to buy some food to Fangjia Village, on the way to come, everyone is worried, for the unknown Golden State, the unknown sales situation, the unknown price are worried, but on the way back, all the way to talk and laugh, when the ox cart is loaded with vegetables, bring expectations, go back to the ox cart is loaded with copper money, bring back hope.
When the villagers of Fangjia Village returned to Fangjia Village, it was already dark, and it was very dark, almost after the evening (19-21 o'clock), although the sky was a little dark, but the white of the snow could also return to illuminate the path, so that a group of pedestrians would not be unable to see the road.
Nearly more than a month of vegetable sales, to the end, each lie to the villagers to bring nearly six copper coins, so that every household every day smiling face often open, from top to bottom, from old to young, basically there is no one unhappy, two greenhouses, to each family to bring nearly sixty copper coins, this is never thought of in the past, but also dare not think about it.
With money, you have to spend, the year is getting closer and closer, the villagers of Fangjia Village are also generous, on the day of the year, organized by the village, in the village ancestral hall next to the big open space set up a village banquet, this is not a thing in the past, this time can make the whole village work together to do a big thing, a whole day of shouting, endless, although there is no wine, but there is fruit brewing, Fang Jing also moved from home to three cylinders of fruit brew, the whole village eats and drinks well, like a paradise scene.
