Chapter 163
Lin Wan hadn't figured out how to withdraw from the piano, and Qi Gui sent the profit of the bean sprouts in April, a full thirty taels.
This made Lin Wan very surprised, the small bean sprouts business can actually make thirty taels a month, it is too unbelievable, so how many bean sprouts do you have to send to do it?
"Why are there so many this month?" Chen was also surprised when he looked at the three silver ingots of ten taels and one ingots.
Qi Guile said hehehe: "Now not only the restaurants and inns in Fucheng come to order, but also restaurants in several neighboring counties come to the door to ask for orders, with the increase in customers who come to negotiate, at the beginning of April, it is enough to send 30 catties of beans a day, and now it is enough to send 80 catties of beans a day." ”
According to the output that Qi Gui said, the average daily sales of bean sprouts in April were around 500 catties, and a pound of bean sprouts earned two cents, which was 30 taels a month, and with the current growth trend, the net profit in May should be almost 50 taels.
Chen remembered that when she first saw Lin Wan sprout good things, she also blamed Lin Wan for wasting food.
When I was sure that the bean sprouts could be eaten and were quite refreshing, I only felt that I could satisfy the appetite of winter, but I never thought that now it has become a big income for the family.
When facing Lin Wan, Chen's feelings were a little complicated.
These days, because Father Ye spent eighty taels of silver to buy a piano for Lin Wan, the Chen family gave Lin Wan a lot of face, but now he found that the bean sprouts that Lin Wan inadvertently made up could earn back the eighty taels in just two months.
Although he still felt a little distressed about the eighty taels of silver that had been spent, Chen's attitude towards Lin Wan took a 360-degree turn, and he didn't give Lin Wan a cold face, and took the initiative to talk to Lin Wan.
No, seeing Lin Wan and Dong Xue going to the backyard with some thin bamboo and straw ropes, Chen leaned over and asked, "Wanwan, what are you doing with these?" ”
Lin Wan was slightly stunned, and soon said with some embarrassment: "Grandma, the vine-like ones in the field can't stand now, and Wanwan wants to build a shelf for them." ”
Lin Wan was talking about tomatoes, which are now more than a foot tall, and they are about to bloom, so they must be fixed before they bloom.
"Wanwan means to put up a shelf for your field like green beans and cucumbers?" Chen is a veteran of growing vegetables, and when he heard Lin Wan say this, he naturally understood what Lin Wan meant.
The two things that Lin Wan planted in the field, everyone had asked Lin Wan, but Lin Wan couldn't answer what it was.
Chen took advantage of Lin Wan's absence to study many times, and only planted the half-heaval one, and everyone thought it should be a chili pepper.
In addition, I can't really see what it is, but the part that grows like a vine is thicker than the vines of green beans and cucumbers, and it grows more slowly.
Although he didn't know what it was, the Chen family didn't think that it would bring benefits to the Ye family like bean sprouts, but for the sake of the bean sprouts, the Chen family felt that they should compensate for their indifference to Lin Wan these days, so they called Jin Wang's family and asked her to give the two female dolls a hand.
Lin Wan naturally wouldn't refuse, she and Dong Xue were indeed a little overwhelmed by this.
"Girl, will these bamboos be too thin and short for shelves?" When the Jin Wang family followed Lin Wan and Dong Xue to the backyard, they couldn't help frowning when they saw Lin Wan and Dong Xue preparing to make a thin bamboo pole.
The bamboo poles were prepared by Dongxue according to Lin Wan's requirements, most of them were short bamboo poles about three feet long with the thickness of an adult's finger, and there were several long bamboo poles with more than a few zhang.
Lin Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "Dong Xue Niang, you see that this vine is not as long as green beans and cucumbers, I think it is enough to build a low shelf." ”
Jin Wang's family looked at the vines in this field, and then looked at the green beans and cucumbers in the vegetable field next to them, and felt that what Lin Wan said made sense, so they didn't say anything more.
According to Lin Wan's request, she combined her practical experience in growing vegetables by herself, and began to set up a shelf quickly.
There is nothing surprising about the shelf that Lin Wan asked to build, in fact, it is the same as the shelf of green beans and cucumbers in the Ye family's vegetable field, and it is an ordinary tripod to work with, but the shelf that has been built is almost half the height of the shelf of green beans and cucumbers.
The so-called tripod is to insert the bamboo into the soil respectively, and then put the three bamboos together, tie the bamboo together with a straw rope to form a triangular top stand, and then take the long bamboo horizontally on each triangular fork after the tripod is formed.
Such a shelf, although simpler, is also relatively strong.
After building a rack for tomatoes, tie the vines of tomatoes loosely on the bamboo poles with straw ropes, not too tightly, and be sure to leave a little gap, which can not only avoid hurting the vines of tomatoes, but also will not affect the growth of tomato vines.
After finishing the tomato racking, there were still a lot of short bamboo poles left, Lin Wan thought about it and simply asked the Jin Wang family to help insert a bamboo pole next to each pepper, and similarly tie the pepper stems and bamboo poles loosely with a straw rope.
The two depressions in the backyard, since the day of transplanting, Lin Wan has clearly stated that she and Dongxue will manage it themselves.
In the past month or so, Lin Wan has indeed done it, except for Ye Qing to help carry water, other people's requests for help, including Ye Shen and Lin Zimo, have been rejected by Lin Wan one by one.
Today, Lin Wan accepted Chen's kindness, not only to ease the seemingly nonexistent estrangement between her and Chen, but also because the project of erecting the frame was too difficult for her and Dongxue.
When the Chen family came to the backyard and saw the low shelves in the ground, they felt a little rare, and after going around the two depressions twice, they had doubts in their hearts and asked a question similar to that of the previous Jin Wang's family.
Lin Wan naturally prevaricated with the same rhetoric.
After building a frame for tomatoes, Lin Wan and Dongxue went to the well to clean their hands and faces, returned to the house and read the book, and then stunned at the piano.
The change in Chen's attitude is obviously related to the profit from the bean sprouts sent by Qi Gui.
In this case, Lin Wan understood that even if she had some pimples in her heart, she couldn't mention the matter of retiring the piano anymore.
"Sister Wanwan, what are you sitting here in a daze, you have been studying with Master Ji for several days, I don't know if you can play a song for everyone!" Suddenly, Lin Zimo's voice came.
Lin Wan looked up and followed the voice, but saw Lin Zimo and Xiaocao lying on the windowsill, looking at her through the window.
Lin Wan was about to speak, but saw Ye Shen coming in a hurry, stretched out her foot and gave Lin Zimo and Xiaocao a kick respectively: "You two don't practice calligraphy well, what are you doing here?!" ”
"Ouch, Ye Shen, you actually kicked me!" Lin Zimo was extremely angry, jumping and jumping at Ye Shen, chasing Ye Shen to kick back.
Xiaocao hurriedly left Lin Wan's windowsill, of course, far away from Ye Shen, but said in his mouth: "We finished practicing, Zimo said that she wanted to hear Sister Wanwan play the piano." ”
Lin Wan smiled and shouted at a few people who were making trouble outside the window: "Third brother, don't bully Brother Zimo and Brother Xiaocao!" But my brothers will have to wait a little longer if they want to hear me play! ”
A few young people outside the window were interrupted, but the depression and entanglement in Lin Wan's heart were all gone.
Lin Wan's eyes looked in the direction of the backyard, and her heart was more loyal and down-to-earth, in another month and a half, the Ye family would have new income in addition to the income of bean sprouts.
Although the amount planted this year is relatively small, the income will not be too much, but what about next year and the year after next...... Always take a long-term view!
