Guo Dian's family is a land-sitting household in this county, just like the professional household of the Yang family village head, no matter how you change the county officials every three years, his old Guo family firmly occupies this pit of the warden.

In Liuxian, not to mention covering the sky with one hand, it's almost the same.

It is also strange to say that the county officials of Liuxian County have been relatively honest in the past few terms, but the county officials have also turned a blind eye to this kind of gray income that is not in the account books.

In the eyes of the county magistrate, the warden is a local "can" official that he can't shake, and the merchant is a copper-smelling profiteer that he has always despised.

Lao Zhong's family is a farmer, but he has a shop, and people collect money according to business, who cares if you are a farmer or a businessman.

Old Zhong sighed in his heart, the warden's family must not be easy to mess with. If you buy here, if you want to irrigate the lake in the future, you will have to be restrained by his family, and the old Yao family estimates that there is also a lot of blood to achieve the goal, or how not to sell it in other places, but to sell it here?

Thinking that there are five wells in the ground, what else is there that I don't understand.

The old bell had already retreated.

"Five hundred."

"Hey, this is teasing me."

Lao Zhong shook his head, "Five hundred at most, if it doesn't work, forget it, Yao Gongzi, I think you should find someone else to take a look." Lao Zhong was still in a hurry, so he said goodbye first. After Lao Zhong finished speaking, he was about to get into the carriage without nostalgia, and he had already made up his mind to go back to Qiaonan Village to set up a workshop.

When Yao Baoyu saw that Lao Zhong was really leaving, he was in a hurry, and he stepped forward to pull Lao Zhong, but others only gave him three days, where to find someone to go for a while, "Hey, don't go, the price is negotiable." ”

If before, Lao Zhong would have been happy to hear it, but now, he didn't have much interest, unless it was five hundred, and he wasn't happy about it.

The steward had no eyes on his uncle, so he had to stop him, and Yao Baoyu was about to get angry, but he saw that the other party kept squeezing his eyes with him, so he had to watch Lao Zhong leave.

said angrily: "If there is a fart, let it go." ”

The steward secretly lucked his luck, so he swallowed it and said, "Uncle, it's better for us to let the wind go, as long as we reduce the price, many people should want to buy it." ”

"Really?"

"Well, I guess so. Even if others don't buy it, don't they have Master Zhong to cover it? ”

Although Yao Baoyu was in a hurry, he still believed it when he looked at the folds on the chief steward's face. And that Zhong Defu is a dirt bun, I'm afraid he really doesn't have any family background, five hundred taels, phew, it's still a lot worse than what he needs.

Let's say that Lao Zhong returned disappointed, so he was busy preparing.

His workshop is divided into two parts, one is brown sugar for white sugar, and the other is for preserved peaches, and if you want to speed it up, you have to prepare several sets of guys.

I hurriedly found a carpenter, blacksmith, and a carpenter, and ordered a few sets of equipment, and ordered fifty baskets and dustpans for drying. There is a part of the dustpan or something, and there is a part of the grocery store, but the number of those points is not enough to see at all.

After doing all that, he hurried to Yangjia Village again.

Lao Zhong thought about it, he was short of manpower, and he had to find someone to help.

The first thing that comes to mind must be the brothers-in-law, a few brothers-in-law do things steadily, the key is that he respects his brother-in-law very much, and he won't come out with a few moths.

Harvesting fresh peaches can be asked to do it, or let them make some small money.

He had discussed this with his Hua'er before, and Hua'er agreed with both hands, there was no risk in this matter, and it was a great thing.

Lao Zhong suddenly arrived in a carriage, which made the old Yang family very strange. Summoned into the house and sat down, made tea, and asked about the situation.

Lao Zhong was not busy talking, first brought the package he brought, opened it, and put it in front of the old father-in-law.

Village Chief Yang could see that it was made of apricots when he looked at the things in front of him, but they were not dried apricots, they were wet and much darker.

"This is the preserved apricots I made before, I brought it to your second elder, you can taste it."

Village Chief Yang pinched one and put it in his mouth to taste it, nodded after eating, and instructed several sons to taste it, and the old lady also pinched one to eat.

"Hey, son-in-law is amazing, what kind of dried apricots are this, it really tastes good." The old lady never praised her son-in-law, and the sweet and sour apricots were really good.

Several uncles also nodded busily, this spoiled the children peeping at the door, and the old man hurriedly motioned to the old woman to take some out and divide them.

"Preserved apricots have opened up sales, but now the apricots have passed, I now use peaches to make preserved peaches, and some people have booked them, only fresh peaches want more, except for a few younger brothers, I can't find anyone to help share the worries."

Village Chief Yang was happy for his son-in-law and nodded, "Let them do some work, that's how it should be, tell them how to do it." ”

"Help me buy 20,000 catties of fresh peaches. No matter how much my younger brothers buy, I will give them 16 wen a catty. ”

Hiss~, everyone who listened gasped.

The market sells up to 14 wen, and it should be cheaper to collect it at home. If you really want 20,000 catties, isn't that at least 40 taels of silver left? The brothers were a little excited, but fortunately, they were not carried away by the interests.

The eldest brother said: "This can't be done, you have lost a lot, and you can't let us take advantage of you." ”

"Yes, yes......" The other two brothers nodded in agreement.

Village Chief Yang was comforted to see his sons' reactions, "Listen to your brother-in-law first." ”

"Dad, I only have one request, that is, the peaches given to me must be good, not too raw, not too ripe, and not bumpy. I'll lend my brothers fifty taels of silver as the capital, brothers, can you do it? ”

Saying this, the brothers instantly calmed down.

It is true that the price is higher than the market price, but the peach is afraid of bumps and collisions, and it will hurt when it collides.

Seeing that the brothers hesitated, Lao Zhong said again: "There is another one who is safe, my brothers help me collect peaches, I will pay the salary, two months, I will collect 20,000 catties of good fresh peaches, I will give ten taels of silver, how about it?" ”

Ten taels of silver, which is really a lot, but ......

The old man coughed and said, "What are you doing with your head?" Think about it, can't you help but let the peaches bump into it? ”

The second child felt that it was safe to get the salary, and was about to speak, but the third child spoke first, "I think, it's better for us to buy, and our brothers have also experienced experience." ”

As soon as the third child finished speaking, Lao Zhong patted his thigh and said, "That's good, wow, I want to do the same." ”

The second child didn't say what he thought in his heart, and as soon as it was finalized, he couldn't say it. was worried in his heart, thinking about how much money he would lose if the peach was rotten in his hand, and he heard his brother-in-law say:

"So, my brothers will help me collect a few baskets first, test the water, and I'll pay the capital. Your niece suggested that each peach be wrapped in straw paper with layers of peach leaves. I don't know if it's reliable, try it first? ”

The brothers hurriedly agreed, which is much safer, but the money does not need to be paid by the old clock, and they can still take out some of it.

The brothers all wanted to go, and finally his father made a decision, "The eldest takes care of the house, the second and third children all go out, the ox cart is brought well, and the cart board is covered with a thick quilt." If you really want to be able to do it, you can't do it alone. ”

The second and third were happy, and the boss was a little disappointed, but it was also within his expectations. After all, my father will give the village chief to himself in the future, and the rest will have to be given to the second and third children, and a bowl of water must be level.

The details were discussed with each other, and it was agreed that the delivery would start in four days to Qiaonan.
