Chapter 61: The Busy Xue Family
Of course, it is still difficult to recoup the initial investment in a short period of time, and even these revenues have to be invested in it at present.
Her hunting team is still just a prototype, such as the hunting tools that the team members should have, each of them is only given a bow and arrow, and a club, and other auxiliary tools are still low-end tools that the big guys bring with them, and when she saves some money, she has to configure it neatly for everyone.
So at present, she can't save much money at all, and everything she earns has to be invested again.
However, in the future, there is no need to go to the town to sell the prey in person, and the hunting team can have more energy to devote to hunting, and I think the daily harvest can increase a lot.
On the second day, after breakfast, Xue Langjing led the team to hunt as usual.
After yesterday's day of running-in, today's hunt went a lot smoother, and there were no accidents, but it was not as good luck as yesterday, and I was able to find a fruit forest directly.
Fortunately, after hunting for two more hours today, Xue Langjing estimated that his income would be about eight taels.
However, this time, because Zheng Linchu's people had to be sent to the town to sell, they couldn't settle directly.
After picking up the east and west, I came to the receiving point that the vehicles agreed upon by the two sides could reach, and saw several special ox carts waiting there.
The two sides did not settle the money, but weighed all the harvests, recorded a list and pulled the goods away.
And Xue Langjing and the others only took the prey they wanted to leave for food, as well as a few empty baskets sent by the other party because they were considerate of the lack of baskets at her house and went back.
In this way, it is really a lot more convenient for the hunting team, they only need to be responsible for hunting, and someone will receive and sell the goods down the mountain, and the hunting team can throw their hands back.
The goods were received by a middle-aged man and two young men.
The middle-aged man in the lead was called Gu Rongxuan.
Because of the relationship with Zheng Linchu, Xue Langjing was not worried that the other party would be greedy for such a thing as herself, and she was very relieved.
Of course, before the three of them drove away, Gu Rongxuan also passed on Zheng Linchu's words to him, Zheng Linchu was afraid that he would have fewer opportunities to go to the town in the future, and the news would be ill-informed, so if he had any problems, he could pass on a letter to her, write it and hand it over to these people who docked the goods with him, and if he needed help in the future, he could find Gu Rongxuan.
For the many help that Zheng Linchu provided to him, and he thought so thoughtfully for himself, no matter whether the other party was sincere in intersecting with him, or what intentions he had for himself, Xue Langjing was grateful to her from the bottom of her heart.
The capital of building a hunting team is not enough, so Xue Langjing can only slowly improve it while saving money.
As for the few taels of silver saved by the Xue family, not to mention that it didn't have much effect when they were thrown in, the old man Xue refused to agree, Xue Langjing naturally didn't ask for it, so he could only use what he had saved.
She only felt that this grandfather was becoming more and more stubborn, he was originally fine, but now he always likes to disagree with everyone, especially to her.
Now that she is more and more obstructive in his eyes, it really makes her speechless.
Let's not talk about this for the time being, another day, after Xue Langjing and others picked up the goods down the mountain, they saw the people who were already waiting there as usual.
As soon as the two parties reconciled, Gu Rongxuan asked his subordinates and the hunting team to weigh him, while he himself came over to talk to Xue Langjing and gave her yesterday's silver money first.
After reading the detailed list handed over by the other party, she found that the final sale price was higher than that in her quadrant, and it was obvious that they had their own sales channels that could sell her goods at a better price.
Lang Jing took eight taels of silver and three hundred wen from him, and thanked him again.
After thanking her, she only pocketed the eight hundred dollars, and took out twelve taels of silver in her hand, a total of twenty taels to him, and asked him to help her go to the blacksmith shop to buy ten better machetes, and the rest of the money, if you can buy a few hunting knives, buy a few, and by the way, help yourself tell the shopkeeper that the ten taels of silver owed to him can only be paid back next time.
It's really hard for everyone to walk on the mountain without machetes, and the sticks don't have any effect, and the money she bought before was enough to buy bows and arrows, so naturally she couldn't afford to buy machetes, and these equipment could only be slowly added to the right back.
A serious hunting team, without enough hunting tools, is naturally not good, this sharpening knife is not a woodcutter, the equipment must be neat.
When the prey was unloaded and everyone went back with the empty basket, Xue Langjing only had 300 yuan left.
This money really comes and goes quickly.
After a few days, Xue Langjing accepted the hunting equipment and money, and gave the money to Gu Rongxuan again, asking him to help buy the tools.
As for Zheng Linchu's statement that if the money is not enough, she can help with it first, and then pay it back when she earns enough, Xue Langjing naturally refused.
She has been asked to help this gang and that trouble she has so much, how can she borrow money from others again, this personal debt is the most difficult to repay, and it has accumulated a lot, how can I pay it off in the future.
Let's not talk about these equipment, let's talk about food, originally Xue Langjing planned to let his father and them go to the town to buy it, and it happened to buy even the ox cart.
Now that Gu Rongxuan has to go back and forth between the town and Zhaojia Village every day, isn't the Zheng family's grain and vegetable shop selling grain.
Anyway, he had to rush over with an empty car every day, so Xue Langjing simply asked him to buy food and send it over.
In this way, when they need to buy food, they will talk to Gu Rongxuan, and the other party will be able to deliver it the next day, and they will pick up the food after unloading the goods, and they will often drive to the town to buy it.
People have three cars, and because they are specially made, they can load things better than their own ox carts, and they are convenient anyway, and one trip is enough to make many trips to their own house.
Naturally, Xue Langjing can't let Jia Bai help, and the car and horse expenses must be calculated for them every time, so they can't trouble others too much.
Father has been busy recently, building a hunting team, and there are a lot of scattered things needed, and the single two are not worth much, and they are worth a lot of money after all, and many things can be built by her father himself, and they are not in a hurry for the time being, so they simply let him build it himself, but it takes some time and material money, and there is a lot of money left.
And he still has to study with his sisters every day, and he has to spare time to build tools, but now he doesn't have to buy food, but it is much easier, and even the speed of building tools can be faster.
The two men, the uncle and the eldest brother-in-law, have to serve more than ten acres of fields, and the eldest brother-in-law has to chop firewood for his own use, and he is also busy enough.
The women of the Xue family are also busy, they have to do all the housework, and they have to sort out medicinal materials, study, practice body forging every day, and now they have to add another one to collect firewood in the village.
Life is hectic and busy, but I feel very fulfilling.
