Zhou Zhi's remorse was remorse, and when he heard Cheng Lao Wu say that he wanted 60 catties of celery and spinach, he was still ecstatic.

This Cheng family is really a big family, it seems that this time for the third son Cheng Dingye to hold a happy event, there are a lot of guests and friends to the banquet. This is to make tricks at the banquet, and really want to show the incomparably noble rhythm of his Cheng family's status in Gaochang Town.

Three hundred wen a catty, the same sixty catties is one hundred and twenty catties, which should be 36,000 wen, according to the current exchange rate, it should be thirty taels of silver when converted into cash.

The Zhou family is poor, that is, the family lives tightly and economically, and they will not save thirty taels of silver in their lifetime. Daddy Zhou Tie, hasn't half of his life passed, but now the family hasn't even saved half a tael of silver.

Although Zhou Zhi was happy in his heart, he pretended to be very reluctant on his face, and said, "Buy so much, I want to cut so much in my family's land, and there is not much left." Alas! Count the boy as bad luck today, who let me meet a big customer like you today, and it's a big family in the town.

The kid has always respected scholars, so sell less silver taels and sell less! ”

Zhou Zhimo chirped, and Fan Jin on the side was upset. Fan Jin said in his heart, this week, it is really cheap to sell well, if such a thing is also unlucky, then I, Fan Jin, am willing to be so unlucky every day.

However, Fan Jin said, "Brother Zhou Zhi, just forget it for the sake of the old man's thin face, if you sell it, you sell it, don't ink it." ”

"Yes, a manly man just wants to be vigorous and resolute, so what is the ink? The fifth child gave him silver first, thirty taels. Cheng Dingye said with a pout.

Before seeing the vegetables, he paid the silver first, and Cheng Lao Wu was very reluctant, but he didn't dare not listen, so he hurriedly took out two taels of silver from the money bag he carried, and handed a total of fifteen ingots to Zhou Zhi. Cheng Lao Wu came out this time with him with silver, but the thirty taels of silver went out, and the money bag was obviously empty.

Thirty taels of silver, fifteen small silver ingots, Zhou Zhi couldn't hold it in both hands, he was already happy in his heart at this time, but his face was still depressed. Slowly put away the silver, and then said to Cheng Lao Wu, "Uncle, then you can go home with the kid to cut vegetables!" ”

Cheng Lao Wu wanted to say that Zhou Zhi would send it, but just now the silver was sold, and he was worried that something would happen to Zhou Zhi's regeneration, so he glanced at Cheng Dingye and saw that Cheng Dingye was looking impatient, so he agreed.

He went back to Cheng's house and rushed to a carriage, Zhou Zhi also said goodbye to Fan Jin, said goodbye tomorrow, and simply loaded the cart on the carriage, Zhou Zhi then got into the carriage, and the coachman raised his whip. The carriage drove out of this commercial street and onto the official road.

Fan Jin twisted his beard in his hand, looked at the carriage from afar, the expression on his face was very rich, and said secretly, Brother Zhou Zhixian is really talented, judging from today's shrewdness, if he can succeed in the imperial examination in the future, he will definitely make a great achievement.

However, if this kid uses it well, it's okay, but if he doesn't use it properly, I'm afraid that he will become a big scourge to my dynasty!

Zhou Zhi rode all the way home in a carriage, feeling comfortable.

Directly let the coachman drive the carriage to the vegetable greenhouse in his own field, my sister Zhou Luyun had just finished adding firewood to the stove of the greenhouse at this time, and when she saw Zhou Zhi getting off the car, she hurriedly came over and asked, "Xiaozhi, how is it selling?" How did you come back so early? ”

Zhou Zhi said with a bitter face, "The dishes are all sold out, but the price is too low, and they don't sell for a few dollars." ”

"It's good to sell it, it's good to sell it." Zhou Luyun said happily.

In her mind, these vegetables grown can be sold for some silver to supplement the family, and Zhou Zhi's hard work for such a long time has not been in vain. This half acre of land has not been wasted, as long as I can have an explanation with my father Zhou Tie.

Zhou Zhi briefly talked to Zhou Luyun about the situation again, and then led Cheng Lao Wu into the greenhouse. Cheng Lao Wu looked around in the greenhouse, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, he didn't expect to be able to grow fresh vegetables in winter with such a method, this kid in front of him is really capable. However, the price is really high, huh! This kid is also a black-hearted thing.

He calculated in his heart that next winter, he could let several brothers in his family follow Zhou Zhi's example and grow vegetables like this. Hehe! It's just a winter, and you'll be rich.

Zhou Zhi naturally ignored his thoughts, and quickly cut out sixty catties of spinach and sixty catties of celery with a sickle, and then asked Cheng Lao Wu to wrap them in quilts and other things he brought, and put them on the carriage, and Cheng Lao Wu returned to Gaochang Town.

There weren't many celery and spinach seeds, but now they seem to have cut more than half, and Zhou Zhi feels a lot more at ease.

Speaking of which, what he is most worried about is this spinach and celery, if such vegetables are not for people like the Cheng family who have a happy event and a good face, it is really not easy to sell. After all, this kind of dish is just fresh, and the people don't have to eat it.

But leeks are different, northerners have the habit of eating flat food, and it is very good to use leeks to make stuffing, and many people have become accustomed to eating. If you can't eat in the winter, you will be hungry. Therefore, although it is more expensive to sell leeks in this winter, many people will buy them.

Cheng Lao Wu's carriage disappeared from view, and Zhou Zhicai smiled excitedly, "Sister, come and see, this is the money that Xiao Zhi sold today." ”

At this time, Zhou Zhi opened the cloth bag wrapped in silver, fifteen small ingots of silver, as well as scattered silver, and a small pile of copper coins, Zhou Luyun was stunned for a while.

She could hardly believe her eyes, and her breath became a little short, as she looked at the silver coins and then at Zhou Zhi, who was smiling happily at her.

After a long time, Zhou Luyun asked in surprise, "Xiaozhi, is this all the money from selling vegetables today?" ”

"Hmmm! It's all earned by selling vegetables today, sister, we have made a fortune. Zhou Zhi could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart at this time, and said loudly.

"If we get rich, our Zhou family will never have to live a poor life in the future." Zhou Luyun then also shouted in ecstasy.

In the past few months, the Zhou family has encountered a lot of things, and the sister and brother have put in a lot of effort in this greenhouse, and all this has not been in vain. Success, the cultivation of vegetable greenhouses is only a real success today.

At this time, what Zhou Zhi thought about was that with these silver coins, and then sell the remaining vegetables, the life of the Zhou family would indeed be better, and he would be able to have more time to study, and even have money to buy books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.

When the family is rich, the road to study can be regarded as truly paved.

"Xiaozhi, according to this method, we will have more greenhouses next year, and in less than two years, our Zhou family will become a wealthy family in Baiyue Village, and we can't say that we can surpass the Chen family and the Yue family!" Zhou Luyun calmed down and said with a sense of longing.

Zhou Zhi said, "My sister's idea may be too good, if there is no surprise next year, this Baiyue Village, and even Sili Eight Villages, say that I have to know how many such vegetable greenhouses there are." Hehe! At that time, the fresh vegetables in this winter are not new, and you won't be able to make much money if you think about it. ”

Zhou Zhi knows that the ancients must not be underestimated, especially the Ming people at this time, they are not stupid, some are quite smart, even smarter than many modern people, but they are less knowledgeable.

Listening to Zhou Zhi's analysis, Zhou Luyun also nodded lightly and said, "Hmm! Xiao Zhi is right, it seems that making a fortune by relying on this vegetable greenhouse can only be temporary, and it is likely that it will not work next year. Hehe! However, my sister believes in my family, and Xiaozhi will definitely come up with more ways to make money in the future. ”

Zhou Zhi has not clearly thought about the way to make money in the future, and he is now thinking more about how he can spare more time to study when his family has money.

The year after tomorrow, there will be a small exam, and the Four Books and Five Classics have not yet been read, let alone learning the art of the eight-strand system. There is still a lot to learn, and the time seems to be getting tighter and shorter.
