With Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's response, the people of the Zhang and Wang families paid more and more attention to these two children, especially after the Wang family Zhuangzi also learned from the Zhang family Zhuangzi and hired a few more people, they found that the money paid was not much, but the people below worked harder than before.

In the afternoon, when the temperature had risen, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took the pomegranates and walked towards the harvested field, where there were short stubbles one by one, whether it was rice, wheat or millet.

"Xiaobao, can you grow some vegetables in winter?" Wang Juan picked up a leaf that was blown on his body by the wind, and felt that the ground in front of him was a bit of a waste in winter.

Zhang Xiaobao pursed his lips, looked at the field, shook his head after a while, and said helplessly: "If you want to plant in these fields, I don't know how much cucumbers cost a pound in winter." ”

"Pomegranate, how much is a cucumber in winter?" Wang Juan turned his head and asked the pomegranate who was not far away.

"Where are the cucumbers? In two days, the stored cucumbers need to be eaten, otherwise they will be bad, the little lady wants to eat cucumbers, you can dry the cucumbers, and then soak them in water to eat, and other dishes are also doing the same. "Pomegranate doesn't know what the two little ones are thinking? In winter, I also count on buying cucumbers.

"Then if there is a cucumber that has just been picked, how much are you going to buy it?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.

"If I go back to the little boy, I won't buy it, and even if I have it, I can't afford it." Pomegranate didn't have anything to do, so she followed up on the topic of the impossible.

Wang Juan didn't think so, if Zhang Xiaobao had no choice, he wouldn't stare and ask, and after thinking for a while, he found that he couldn't get a greenhouse, so he had to touch Zhang Xiaobao with his hand, "How do you want to grow cucumbers?" ”

"Erniu is idle, let him go to Gezhuang to collect firewood, that is, rice, wheat, millet stalks, this thing should be very cheap, you can buy a few large bundles for a penny, then we will plant cucumbers, make preparations today, and get them tomorrow."

Zhang Xiaobao began to plan things, but Wang Juan still didn't understand how to grow cucumbers.

Without waiting for her to ask, Zhang Zhang Xiaobao explained to her, "Actually, this is a scam, I thought it was not easy to use, so it didn't work, this method can grow vegetables in the northern winter without using any transparent materials."

Theoretically feasible, in the actual process, it is not as good as shipping from other summer countries, the investment is large, the harvest is small, it will be beyond its means, some materials are cheap here, and the working hours are not calculated, plus there are no cucumbers in winter, it should be able to make money, follow me tomorrow. ”

Wang Juan saw that Zhang Xiaobao still didn't clarify the matter, so he was not in a hurry to ask, just see how he prepared today.

With something to do, the three of them didn't stay outside for long, turned around and went back, and Zhang Xiaobao began to set it up.

At the back, he selected a piece of land of 40 meters by 40 meters, and he and Wang Juan measured the approximate data together, and every five meters by 5 meters, a square ditch was dug outside, and the ditch was one and a half meters deep.

Then build a circle of walls in the upper 20 square meters, the kind with a mezzanine in the middle, the wall is two meters high, and there are holes near the top of the inside, so that the child's arm is so thick, leave one every other meter.

Zhuangzi is not busy now, there are many people, the main family is in charge of the meal, they can also save some of their own food, they all come to help, and when the hole in the wall is finished, they will make a hole under the outer wall of each circle, a little bigger.

In the evening, even if all these things are finished, they have not yet dried, and the second ox gets firewood and starts to bake the wall at night, and takes out a stove from the hole below, and puts firewood in the stove, and the heat jumps down the middle of the two walls to other places.

There were many people burning the fire this night, and it was also lively, and the little babies on the Zhuangzi were so excited that they didn't go to sleep and went back and forth.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaobao asked people to collect the mats, the cheapest kind can be straw curtains, or reeds, even if the bamboo is a bit expensive, it is a bit expensive, to buy countless children's arm-thick bamboo poles, at least two meters and five long, that is, about six feet.

Don't look at the worthlessness of things, buy everything, and spend Zhang Xiaobao a hundred horses of silk, or twenty taels of silver, which made Steward Zhang, who was watching from the side, feel distressed.

"It's not easy for the little boy to be busy making some money these days, and he doesn't have twenty taels for a toss, so he counts on hot sauce and vegetable oil, and he only pays it back two days before he borrows it on credit, and he also uses the money that the little boy sells carrots, and the money earned by the two Zhuangzi plus the little boy earns, three thousand nine hundred taels of silver have been exchanged for grain, and there is also the original share of Song Gongzi.

The chick has grown up a lot, but it is not allowed to sell, and it will only lay eggs next year, and after handing over the grain to the top, there will be no living money on the Zhuangzi, and now the consumption on the Zhuangzi is all supported by the money from selling oil and sauce every day, madam, it is better to persuade the little son. ”

Steward Zhang muttered to Zhang Wang, who was also watching the excitement, for a while, twenty taels of silver, enough for the yard to spend a month.

"Steward Zhang, Xiaobao has to do it, and he takes his own money, so don't worry about others, Xiaobao has his own plans."

Zhang Wang's family didn't care, there were still 100 yuan at home, and then looked at the hill of grain piled up one after another, he didn't worry at all, not to mention that the vegetable oil was in the account every day, except for the expenses of the two Zhuangzi, there was still a surplus.

At night, a few people were left here to light a fire to guard, and Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao also came to take a look.

"Xiaobao, do you want to plant cucumbers in the middle, burn a fire when it's cold, open the shed during the day, open the middle of the bamboo, to maintain the temperature inside, two bamboo poles together, just put the head on both sides, and cover the mat at night, but what about moisturizing this winter?"

Wang Juan understood, no wonder Zhang Xiaobao said that he was a liar, but wasn't it, at that time, these things cost a lot of money, more expensive than building a greenhouse, cucumbers are available elsewhere, and they can't be sold for too much money at all, how much money can be used to transport them from south to north?

"It's easy to moisturize, just pour water on the mat covered above, the mat consumption will be a little larger, fortunately, it is cheap, the most important thing to consider in winter is snow, if you really encounter heavy snowfall, someone will get up at night and sweep down, the ground is afraid of freezing, dig out a ditch, and roast it with fire every few days.

Under this kind of sunshine, cucumbers grow slowly, and now according to the algorithm here, in mid-September, there are two and a half months for the New Year, and it is almost down, and then make a lot of money, and have a good year, and when you manually pollinate, you must do a good job of secrecy. ”

The words came out of Zhang Xiaobao's mouth slowly, Wang Juan looked at his calm face, and felt that this was the demeanor that the international fraudster should have, just like a parent, leading his subordinates, defeating one enemy after another, firm and profound, so that his subordinates will always be full of confidence and hope.

"I didn't expect it, a thing that was originally a deception, but it can make money here, and then eating a bite of cucumber is more expensive than eating a bite of meat, let's go, tomorrow morning Song Gongzi will come back to give the money to sell sugar in cooperation with that Zhou Xihu, you and I have to let people repair the houses of the Zhuang households on the two Zhuangzi, and they have to afford the kang, and they are counting on this money."

Wang Juan took Zhang Xiaobao's hand and turned around and walked towards the residence, and the two small figures were getting longer and longer in the firelight.

Early the next morning, Song Jinggong rushed back and first took out the oil money sold yesterday, not much, only more than 900 copper coins, less than one or two silver, but it was not light to carry, mainly because many people exchanged it for other things.

According to Zhang Xiaobao's instructions, those things that can be preserved, saved and sold together, and those that can't be saved are basically some food, such as exchanging three catties of watery spinach for a pound of tofu, and the spinach will be directly taken to the small restaurant where it was bought, and it will be settled at the end of the month and recorded separately.

"Little boy, this is the money given by Xihu that week, according to what you said, I wanted thirty percent of the money at the beginning, and fifty percent of myself lowered two floors, and Xihu was happy that week, this is one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and I am about to die if I put it on my back and add that copper coin."

Song Jinggong put a package on his back in front of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and untied the knot, revealing gray and gray silver inside, twelve ingots, ten taels each.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, it is enough to have this money.

Song Jinggong saw that the little boy had no surprised expression, and he was not so excited anymore, and asked like a riddle to let the little boy guess: "Little boy, guess why you got more than a hundred taels of silver in such a short time?" ”

"Do you still have to guess? Zhou Xihu has been pampered since he was a child, and he is not a child, just like me, he wants to make the people in his family happy, but he used a lot of means to transport a large amount of brown sugar to make white sugar, and then find a relationship to sell it.

I estimate that wherever sugar is sold in this state, there is his white sugar, and what you send is only the first money, and the next money will arrive soon, last night I asked Erniu to go out of Benzhou today to buy brown sugar in other places, and it will rise sharply before the year, and the money that should be earned is still to be earned. ”

Zhang Xiaobao touched the silver with his hand, feeling the coolness on it while saying it.

"Little boy, I'll go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow afternoon and send the second money here."

After listening to Zhang Xiaobao's words, Song Jinggong's last excited expression on his face disappeared, he stood up and threw down a sentence, and left listlessly, he suddenly felt that it was pointless for him to keep deceiving people before, and he was like a child who had just learned to walk in front of Xiao Gongzi.

As long as you ask this kind of question that you think is more difficult, the little boy is always so light-hearted, always with a cute face with a smile, but after seeing too much, he will feel cold from the inside out.

"Xiaobao, you scared him." Of course, Wang Juan knew how Song Jinggong was feeling, just like when she first saw Zhang Xiaobao's information, she had a sense of powerlessness in the face of this kind of genius that you have to admit.

"I didn't scare him, I was giving him confidence, he was a conceited person, he thinks he is smarter than others, I hold him down, and he will figure it out.

He himself is already very powerful, and there is an even more powerful person behind him, so what is he afraid of when he starts doing things? Then he will use all his skills, without thinking about retreat, it will make him confident, this is where he should be. ”

Zhang Xiaobao analyzed the motivation theory of human nature and talents for Wang Juan.
