Chapter 180
45,000 catties of watercress were exchanged for forty-five taels of silver.
It is definitely an additional income for the Xue family, and it is also the largest income in addition to the hunting team.
For this reason, Xue Yujing, as the manager of the pond, was very excited, and he had only been in charge for more than two months, and he had added dozens of taels of silver to his family.
You must know that this pond can be said to be the least invested in the three major industries of fruit forest, pig farm, and pond Xue family.
The result turned out to be the fastest to bring benefits to the family, and her credit as a manager will not be small, right?
This income is also a great affirmation for her.
The first time she earned so much money from her own hands, it also made her more attentive to the management of the pond, and she had to take good care of these treasures who continuously brought income to the family.
In fact, Xue Yujing was originally a sloppy person, and after she started to manage the pond, she put a lot of effort into making fewer mistakes for herself.
With this encouragement, she will naturally be more engaged in the future, not only to not make mistakes, but also to do better.
Except for this pond, Xue Langjing's other industries have no income for the time being.
Although the harvest of the fruit grove is not small, it is not able to provide itself with silver at present.
The entire Xue family is still supported by their hunting income.
However, she believes that one day in the future, when there are more industries under her name, it will always bring her more benefits.
So I used to be too shallow-eyed, and I was always reluctant to give up this or that.
In fact, what should be invested still has to be invested, especially these real properties, this thing is a real thing, as long as she does not squander it indiscriminately in the future, she can always have it, and bring her sustainable income.
And although hunting is currently her main business, this thing is somewhat dangerous, and she can only eat when she is in the prime of life, in case something happens one day, or when she is old and can't do anything, this income can be cut off.
Only these fields are the most stable and can be passed down from generation to generation as a family business.
As long as you have spare money, it's better to buy more, anyway, this silver is also put.
Of course, the premise is that she has to be rich, and it is best not to delay her hunting team when buying the property.
Last time, she wanted to buy equipment, but because of the pig farm and pond, she dragged it out again and again, and she was depressed for a long time.
Especially if she is an anxious person, although she also knows in her heart that it is very important to buy real estate, she still can't help but aim at what she has in mind.
Now, in addition to reserving a part of the expenses prepared for the new recruits, as well as returning Zheng Linchu's silver, there will be no big expenditure in normal times, and she will definitely save money much faster.
In the future, there will not be much expense, and she can rest assured and boldly buy more properties.
Speaking of industry, if there are no accidents, the focus of their Xue family in the future should be on growing sweet potatoes.
This thing is as productive as cress, and it can also be used as food.
In this day and age, who is afraid of too much food?
The production is so large and it is not worried about selling, even if the unit price is not much higher, but it is enough to make money, just like sunflowers can make more money than pecans.
Due to the limitation of fertilizer, watercress can only be planted for a few acres.
Sweet potatoes can be grown infinitely as long as there is land.
The amount that can be produced in the future is absolutely staggering, as long as you grow enough, the income is not necessarily less than hunting, and it is not so risky.
When the time comes, the family will earn sweet potato money for themselves, and they will earn hunting money for themselves, and there will be no delay on both sides.
Tsk, it's really nice to think about.
Of course, the premise is that she has to earn money to buy the land, as much as possible, or rent other people's land, and hire a lot of labor, which is not a small cost.
No matter what industry is, the greater the input, the more output will be, and any harvest cannot be conjured out of thin air.
How wide the road is paved in the future depends on how much she invests now.
Speaking of which, silver is the most important thing.
In order to earn more silver and have a better life in the future, she doesn't dare to slack off every day, that is, she diligently leads the team out hunting every day.
In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed, and the season of frost is approaching.
It also means that the acres of sweet potatoes she planted in the fruit forest are ready for harvest.
Xue Shanjing, who manages the fruit forest, naturally knows how important sweet potatoes are to the Xue family, and strictly follows the guidance in the manual given by Zheng Linchu, and waits carefully every day.
The weeding of the weeding, the fertilization of the fertilization, the seedlings of the seedlings, always prevent insect pests, do not miss at all, the treasure of these acres of land is like something.
Before this batch of sweet potatoes was harvested, the Xue family hired people to hoe, ridge, and fertilize more than 100 acres of land, and now only seedlings are needed.
The first to cut was the seedlings raised from sweet potato seeds, and the seedlings cut from here were planted on five acres of land.
In the past two days, the last batch of sweet potatoes will be harvested.
Before digging sweet potatoes, of course, the seedlings are cut first, and the sweet potato seedlings here are the big heads.
There are more seedlings cut from the sweet potato vines on a few acres of land.
Just for the cutting and planting of these acres of land, as well as digging sweet potatoes, the Xue family invited more than 20 people.
Cut the sweet potato vine seedlings first.
After cutting the vine seedlings, dig the sweet potatoes.
The sweet potatoes in this field, the Xue family plans to use them all as seeds, so they naturally have to be extra careful when digging them, so that they can't be damaged at will.
For this reason, Xue Shanjing can almost be said to be stationed in the sweet potato field herself, watching the villagers dig.
Whoever moves a little might make the sweet potato bump into it, she will remind her loudly.
On the contrary, it is the easiest to plant sweet potatoes, just dig holes, water, and plant seedlings, which is more than 100 acres of land to plant and waste time.
Fortunately, they invited a lot of people and planted quickly, and they planted it in one day.
There are many seedlings in the land, so we can only cut out those sweet potato vine seedlings as much as possible, and the same is true for breeding, and we are reluctant to waste anything.
In the end, they planted a total of 112 acres of sweet potatoes.
And those seedlings will be able to grow some new seedlings in a few days, and it is estimated that they can still plant one or two acres.
It is said that the acres of sweet potatoes planted before were given enough fertilizer and served carefully, and more than 16,000 catties of sweet potatoes were dug up for them from a few acres of land.
In order to be able to grow a few acres of land next year, except for some of these sweet potatoes that are broken and damaged, a few others will be left at home to try fresh, and the rest will be kept as sweet potato seeds, regardless of large, medium or small.
Naturally, the best growing sweet potatoes are left for home.
In fact, the size of the sweet potato does not affect its utility as a seed.
Don't worry about the ability of small sweet potatoes, as long as the soil quality is good and the fertilization is in place, you can still grow good seedlings, which is no worse than the big ones.
But the taste is definitely not as good as that of a large sweet potato, and the portion is not so sufficient, it is not cost-effective to keep it for food, it is better to make the best use of it as a seed.
The first batch dug up so many sweet potatoes, which also made Xue Langjing and others breathe a sigh of relief, the breeding ability of this sweet potato is finally solid, and the yield is really high.
Compared to other grains, growing sweet potatoes is also too cost-effective.
By this point, it was late mid-October.
Coincidentally, on the second day, the cress in the pond could be cut for the second time, and the family had an extra income of dozens of taels of silver.
