Chapter 9 Prospects

Keke was very puzzled by Song Xing's behavior, but she still did it, whether it was before or now, she is extremely trusting and dependent on her brother.

If it weren't for the fear of Coco's sadness, he would have taken those broken books to light the fire to keep warm!

Song Xing lazily leaned on the door frame to feel the warmth of the sun, muttering in his heart, as the richest man in the Ming Dynasty in the future, it is not a matter of standing on the door frame every day to construct a business, and when he makes a little money, he should buy a recliner first.

Coco's needlework was very good, and in less than a quarter of an hour, ten small bags were sewn, and he happily put the salt that had already been divided into the bags, and placed them one by one on the only lame table in the room, and then took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and cut the paper into strips of paper one inch wide and two inches long, and wrote the word gift squarely on it, and then pasted it on the salt bag.

Coco was confused, she was originally because Song Xing brought red paper, whether she wanted to write a marriage union or something for someone else's family, although Song Xing was looked down upon, but when she just took the exam, she was also beautiful, but she didn't win the promotion many times! There are few literate people in the village, and Song Xing is often asked to write couplets for red and white ceremonies, and use a few bowls of leftovers and a few nests to make pen money, which is also Song Xing's only source of "income" in recent years.

The grain chief is a lifter, but he must not write any couplets to these clay legs, of course, he can become the grain chief, but also because of the identity of the lifter.

"Brother, what did you write on the salt bag? When did eating salt become so particular? Coco asked with a wink of puzzled eyes.

"Hehe, this is our treasure to make a fortune, you watch the baby at home, I'll come when I go!" Song Xing couldn't explain to Coco, the concept of the later generations was too complicated, or directly told Coco that these salts were to be given away, and it was estimated that Coco would die of distress.

After finishing this, the family stared for a while, it was already three poles of the sun, and the spring moon was the season of cultivation, and at this time most people had already walked back from the fields one after another.

If there are several strong laborers in the family, or if they use oxen to plough the land, it may take a little longer, because they are all playing the role of ploughing oxen, and two strong men are pulling farming tools together to plant crops.

The people who have cattle in the whole village are the families of the village chief and the grain chief, and the others can rent or plough all the fields for others after they have finished farming, and then borrow the cattle, but this is all related to each other.

Well, the two of them have at least ten cows~~~

Song Xing walked through the barren grass path, made a detour on the stone road, and squatted on the farmland in the west of the village and the road that must pass through the village, Qian Duoduo's inspection can only be opened once a day, he must filter out customers in a crowded place, and he must be a hard-working, thrifty villager, only this kind of person will care about the salt of thirty yuan!

Not long after, a large number of villagers returned from the fields in the west carrying farm tools, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they saw Song Xing squatting at the three-way intersection into the village to bask in the sun.

"I heard that Song Xiucai went to the gambling house yesterday, and he was mixed with Xiu Liu!"

"A good talent, not at home to read books and test for fame, basking in the sun here, how to get cocoa!"

"Yes, I pity his parents, he didn't dare to spend money when he was sick, and he was left to be entangled in the exam, you look at him like this, it's just hopeless!"

Song Xing completely ignored the villagers' arguments and turned on the system detection.

In an instant, small red and blue dots appeared in front of him, but almost all of them were blue, only the top of Da Lao Li's head showed red, which was light red!

Song Xing barely had to think about it to know that red represented wealth, while blue represented the need for loans.

The eldest Li in the village has five sons, all of whom are young and strong, plus the eldest Li and his wife, and the labor force is the only one in Yangjiagou!

In this era, labor is productivity! After all, if you want to use people as "livestock", you can't farm without a prime-age labor force!

System Scan!

"Ding, customer name: Li Dequan!"

"Age: forty-two years old, married, farmer, family of eleven people, living in Yangjiagou No. 39 third row, down-to-earth and hard-working, filial piety, comprehensive conduct and morality: excellent!"

"Wealth limit: 1800 Wen!"

Hahaha, that's him, as for the use of Da Lao Li's money, the whole village knows that he wants to save money to marry his daughter-in-law, but as far as the current "market" is concerned, 1800 Wen is obviously not enough, the eldest and second have already married, and now it is the turn of the nineteen-year-old third, but the poorer the person, the higher the bride price, almost all of the people in this village are married to other villages, and the starting price of those crooked melons and cracked dates in the next village is 3 taels of silver.

This is almost the income of Lao Li's family for three years, at that time, a family like Lao Li could have five or six taels of silver a year, but after all kinds of tax expenses, there was only a little more than one or two left, which is not bad, some families can't even pay taxes, so they can only sell their property year after year!

The rural bride price is like this, the more remote and poor, the more expensive, and parents expect to change the living environment by marrying their daughters.

Fortunately, in the Ming Dynasty, there were no cars, no houses, and no hardware or anything, otherwise, it is estimated that the population of China would not be more than one billion.

At the age of nineteen, he was already an older young man at that time, and he had no choice but to live a difficult life, so he could only drag it on.

As for Song Xing, who is already twenty-one, he doesn't think about this at all, getting married at the age of thirty is the norm in the future!

"Uncle Li, wait a minute, it's polite to be born late!" I, Nima, if I want to do business, I must put on the posture I should have.

Li Dequan paused for a moment, listened to his footsteps and looked at Song Xing, and was very surprised, this nerd couldn't make a fut with a stick in the past, how could he be so fluent and polite today.

"What's the matter! I'm still busy going back to buy salt and cook it! "The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Song Xing is so polite, Li Dequan can't ignore it.

"Uncle borrowed a step to speak!"

Seeing that Li Dequan was pulled away by Song Xing, Aunt Li also followed.

"Uncle, when will the marriage of the third child of your family be done?" It's not easy to do sales, and it's often easy to talk about it when you go straight to the point, Song Xing, who is an old credit salesman in later generations, said far away.

"Song Xiucai is in a hurry to write couplets, you are in a hurry, I am more anxious than you, but this bride price, hey! Nowadays, salt is getting more and more expensive, and you can eat less than half of the bride price money if you eat salt a year! Da Lao Li shook his head helplessly!

"Yes, I can't even think about it, salt is really expensive, if the uncle is in a hurry to use salt, I have some here, let the aunt take it to cook first!"

This is really a good opportunity, Song Xing hasn't figured out how to intervene in the topic of business, and Da Lao Li himself mentioned salt.

"Salt? Do you have salt in your house? Elder Li and Aunt Li's eyes widened at the same time.

Song Xing's situation, the whole village knows, Coco has borrowed almost all the people in the village, although they feel that the brother and sister are pitiful, but they can't help much, after all, this salt is several times more expensive than meat, and he can try not to eat salt if he doesn't eat salt.

"Uncle Li, there are a lot of people here, you come with me!" Song Xing looked at the couple with surprised but slightly eager eyes, and quickly said.
