Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Great Sense of Selflessness
In the next few days, Zhou Zhi will sell all the leeks in Gaochang Town. There are not many celery and spinach left, and he brings thirty or forty catties of leeks and a few catties of celery and spinach early in the morning, and still pushes them to Gaochang Town in that shabby cart.
Although these days are not the market days of Gaochang Town, the commercial street in the town is always very bustling.
Leeks are not worried about selling, and those middle-aged and upper-class families in the town know the characteristics of Zhou Zhi, and they will increase the price at any time if they are not good, so anyone who wants to buy leeks will come up to buy them in a hurry when Zhou Zhi just stopped the car.
A few days after Cheng Daju's family held a happy event, many people ate spinach and tofu soup at his feast, as well as celery fried meat and the like. So he scanned where he had bought it. As a result, Zhou Zhi's spinach and celery have been sold a lot these days.
In this way, for six consecutive days, all the spinach and celery in the vegetable greenhouse were sold, and Zhou Zhi almost had to earn two taels of silver every day in the past few days, so that he had earned more than ten taels of silver in the past few days.
Zhou Zhi planted vegetable greenhouses and made a lot of money, which is absolutely impossible to hide. On that day alone, the "mystery boy" Uncle Wang and a few other farmers knew about it in the town.
After they returned to the village, it spread everywhere, and it didn't take two days for Zhou Zhifa to make a fortune, and everyone in the village knew about it. For a while, I don't know how many people are envious, jealous and hateful of Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Luyun was worried that his mother-in-law Zhou He's would be difficult to accept when he saw Zhou Zhi earn so much money back at once, so he slowly thought of a way to slowly guide the infiltration, and when Zhou He's finally learned that Zhou Zhi's vegetables had earned so much silver, he was also ecstatic, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed a few times to God, thinking that all this was God's eye-opening, God's favor, and the Zhou family's hard life finally came out.
Immediately thought of his father Zhou Tie, if this was known to his father Zhou Tie, then I don't know how happy he was! It's been a month and a half since Daddy Zhou Tie went to Tanghe to serve as a conscription, and he should be back, but why hasn't there been any news until now?
In the afternoon of this day, Zhou Luyun took care of it in the greenhouse, Zhou Zhi took the time to go home to change a few books, "Shangshu" has been read, and he is familiar with it, Zhou Zhi plans to start reading "Spring and Autumn" today.
I just arrived at the door of the house, but I saw Zhang Bing, a farmer in the village, carrying a bag of dim sum and his mother Zhou He in the courtyard.
Zhang Bing saw that Zhou Zhi was back, and immediately smiled and said, "Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, look at this is not Xiao Zhi coming back, you let Xiao Zhi come and tell me, should you accept this snack or not?" ”
Although they are all poor peasants, Zhou Zhi's family has little to do with Zhang Bing's family. Zhou Zhi couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Uncle Zhang, why is this?" ”
"Huh! Xiaozhi, speaking of which, didn't you make a vegetable greenhouse and grow fresh vegetables in this cold winter? At that time, I bet with Ding Ergou and others, I just see that Xiaozhi can do it, this vegetable greenhouse will be successful, but Ding Ergou and others are extremely unconvinced, and they all think that you are fooling around.
How's that now? Hehe! Xiaozhi not only grew fresh vegetables, but also made a fortune, Ding Ergou, didn't they lose to me with money? Don't hide it from Xiaozhi, this time your Uncle Zhang won no more than one or two pieces of silver, Xiaozhi, tell me, whose credit should I have for winning this money?
Isn't that your thoughtfulness? Your Uncle Zhang is like a mirror in his heart, is there any reason not to thank him? This little thing doesn't cost a lot of money, so you can say whether you should take it or not. Zhang Bing said with a solemn face and sincerity.
When Zhou Zhi heard this, he was immediately happy, so this is it? At the beginning, many people in the village made bets on their vegetable greenhouses, and Zhou Zhi naturally didn't pay attention to it at all. They bet on theirs, I do mine, and the two have nothing to do with it.
"Uncle Zhang, speaking of which, the kid should thank you, I had a lot of things at home a few days ago, don't you often go to help take care of the greenhouse? Hehe! Uncle Zhang, it's better for you to take these snacks back, after all, your family is not very wealthy. Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
When Zhang Bing heard this, he immediately feigned anger and said, "Xiaozhi, this is yours, isn't it, since your Uncle Zhang has taken it, does it have any reason to take it back?" I know that your family is much better now, but since I have brought it, I will definitely not take it back today. ”
Looking at Zhang Bing's appearance, Zhou He and Zhou Zhi were helpless, so they had to take the snack box in Zhang Bing's hand.
Zhang Bing was very happy when he saw that the Zhou family had accepted the gift, so he accosted Zhou He with great interest. It is nothing more than praising how Zhou Zhi can do it, the Zhou family has such a capable child as Zhou Zhi, and life will get better day by day, and the sister-in-law of the Zhou family can just sit and enjoy the blessings.
When they spoke, Zhou Zhi still had something to do, so he naturally said hello and returned to the house, took out the "Spring and Autumn", and then returned to the greenhouse.
That Zhang Bing stopped Zhou Zhi and said with a smile on his face, "Xiao Zhi, in fact, I still have something to ask Xiao Zhi Li for this time!" Xiaozhi planting that vegetable greenhouse is indeed not bad, you see I have been poor for half a lifetime, and I am also thinking about learning from you next year to make a vegetable greenhouse, so I want to go to your greenhouse to learn tricks these days. ”
After Zhang Bing finished speaking, his face was immediately covered with a blush.
Get! Get! What do you think? The ancients were not stupid, they were very shrewd! This Zhang Bing first came with a gift, saying that he was grateful to Zhou Zhi, but in fact, he had already thought about planting a greenhouse next year.
Zhou Zhi said almost without hesitation, "Uncle Zhang can go to the greenhouse at any time, in fact, planting this greenhouse is a very simple thing, and Uncle Zhang will be able to master the trick in a few days." ”
Originally, he was worried that Zhou Zhi would disagree, after all, it was Zhou Zhi's secret and a way to make money, but he didn't expect Zhou Zhi to agree so happily, which made Zhang Bingxi smile for a while, his heart was full of joy, and he sighed secretly, who said that this Zhou kid is a kind of "cold-faced man slaughter", he seems to be a reasonable and generous righteous gentleman.
Zhou He heard Zhou Zhi being so generous, as if he didn't hide his selfishness at all, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, this kid is still too sincere. Everyone has learned to grow greenhouses, so how can my family make money?
Zhou Zhihu's face turned pale, and he said again, "Uncle Zhang, speaking of which, this year's greenhouse kid did make a little money, but it's impossible to say whether he can make money next year." ”
"Hehe, that's, you just let me learn the trick, as for whether I make money or not, it naturally depends on my creation." Zhang Bing said with a smile.
Although Zhang Bing is usually wooden, today he was talking and laughing with Zhou Zhi, and the two went to the greenhouse in the field side by side.
Zhou Luyun saw that Zhou Zhi received Zhang Bing's trick to learn how to plant greenhouses, and he was not annoyed, anyway, Zhou Zhi had already told her that this greenhouse would be everywhere next year, and he wouldn't make much money.
Zhou Luyun led Zhang Bing around and taught him some skills. Zhou Zhi returned to the shed, sat down and thought silently, there is a Zhang Bing today, and tomorrow there will be some Wang Bing, Li Bing and the like to come to learn the trick. Hehe! I am now a philanthropist who is selfless and serves the people.
However, with Zhang Bing's help, I naturally have a lot of leisure, and tomorrow I will sell the remaining thirty catties of leeks, so that I can take a good rest and have a lot of time to study.
