Chapter 114: Harvesting Grain
The road that is currently being repaired in the village is probably coming out, but after all, it is the busy farming season, and the overall progress must be slower, and there are a lot fewer people building the road every day.
The Gu family's convoy came over at this time.
Most of the people in the village didn't know the Gu family, they only knew that it was the old man who seemed to be a rich family, and when he glanced at the utensils in the car, he understood that he was here to collect grain.
However, in previous years, people would not come to harvest grain until the end of the third rice crop, and this year's harvest came too early.
With such a question, a few men who went home followed the Gu family's convoy all the way, only to see the other party stop in the open space in the center of the village, and Tong Chuxue was talking to one of the convoy members.
The one who led the team this time was Gu Ming, the housekeeper of the Gu family.
"Why did the butler come here in person?" Tong Chuxue was surprised.
"The lord attaches great importance to this first batch of rice, so he specially ordered me to take charge of this matter." Gu Ming said.
"I see, then Steward Gu wait a minute, I'll go talk to those families." After Tong Chuxue finished speaking, she took Luo Huifeng and Luo Huiqing to inform the families.
Some people in the village heard that they had come to collect grain, and happily pulled their own grain over, but who knew that the other party actually said that this time they came to collect new rice, and some curious villagers asked about the price, and they were immediately shocked.
Is Tong Chuxue's rice inlaid with gold, and it can be sold for ten cents a catty.
Those who had planted new rice heard that the village had come to collect grain, and they hurried over, and when they heard that the other party said that it was purchased at a price of ten yuan and one catty, those people thought it was incredible.
Knowing that the people of the Gu family weighed the rice for them and settled the money, they still felt dizzy, and they didn't have a sense of reality when they held the silver in their hands.
This state was maintained until they went to bed at night, and the husband and wife chatted about today's events in the bed, and then gradually came back to their senses.
And the price of returning to God is to hold the silver and be foolish all night, and then both get up late the next day.
Now the whole Qingshan Village knew that Tong Chuxue's rice seeds had made money, and the fame had spread to several surrounding villages, and some villagers had traveled dozens of miles to Qingshan Village to find Tong Chuxue, just to buy rice seeds.
Tong Chuxue and Tong Shan discussed for a long time, and finally agreed to sell the rice seeds to the other party, but they also had to sign a deed, and the rice could only be sold to the Gu family, not another sale.
In case she is caught stealing, Tong Chuxue actually has a way, she just needs to do a little tricks, and the other party's rice seeds will be completely abolished, but how to punish it is a matter of later story.
Looking at the sowing of the second crop of rice, most of the families in the village planted her new rice, and Tong Chuxue suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Do you feel that leading a group to do things is really fulfilling?" Tong Chuxue leaned on the book and said to Luo Hui'an.
She happened to have nothing to do today, and she was idle, so she simply ran to talk to Luo Hui'an.
"Indeed." Luo Hui'an smiled faintly.
"Soon, our village will be the richest village around, right?" Tong Chu Snow Trail.
"Not necessarily." Luo returned to Andao.
"Why?"
"Some families in the village are poor and can't afford to buy rice seeds, so no matter how much money you make from your rice, it won't matter to them." Luo Hui'an analyzed with Tong Chuxue, although he didn't know why Tong Chuxue wanted to help everyone in the village, he still helped Tong Chuxue sort out the current situation, "The cost of paddy fields is high, and some people don't have paddy fields at home, only dry land, and they can't grow rice like you." ”
Tong Chuxue was originally very excited, but when Luo Hui'an said this, she gradually calmed down, it seems that she still thinks too simply.
Is there any way to make money for those who can't afford to buy rice seeds, Tong Chuxue fell into deep thought.
"I heard from my father, the first batch of Ganoderma lucidum is about to mature today." Luo Hui'an saw that Tong Chuxue frowned and changed the topic.
"I'm almost ripe, I'm almost forgetting about it." Tong Chuxue smiled embarrassedly, all the affairs of the Ganoderma lucidum greenhouse this year were handed over to Luo Changhua and Liu Fen, and she almost didn't pay attention to it anymore.
"This batch of Ganoderma lucidum is estimated to be sold for 30,000 taels of silver, what are you going to do with this money?" Luo Hui'an asked.
"Thirty thousand taels of silver." Tong Chuxue was very calm, after all, she knew very well that it was not an exaggeration to say that the Lingzhi in the greenhouse was a golden doll, and thirty thousand taels was normal, "That can indeed do a lot of things." ”
"You have to be careful." Luo Hui'an reminded, "This income is unimaginable in the eyes of others, if you really want to do something with this, it is hard to guarantee that it will not arouse the suspicion of the villagers." ”
Luo Hui'an is right, Tong Chuxue now has a large amount of money in her hands, and she has already caused a lot of people to pay attention to the road repair before, and now if she wants to do something with this money, it is hard to guarantee that no one will wonder where her money came from.
The matter of Ganoderma lucidum must not be known to others, not only the people in Qingshan Village cannot know, but also the people outside cannot let people know.
"You really have to think about it." Tong Chu Snow Trail.
Tong Chuxue did what she said, and when she said and was thinking, she was thinking about what to do almost day and night.
Xu Jinniang hadn't seen Tong Chuxue look so stunned for a long time, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while, and said with concern, "Chuxue, what's wrong with you these days, just sit at the door of the house in a daze if you have nothing to do." ”
"It's okay, mother, I'm just thinking about things." Tong Chuxue did not elaborate.
Xu Jinniang put the food on the table, and Tong Chuxue glanced at the dishes, there were meat and vegetarian dishes, and the combination was reasonable.
Since knowing that the Ganoderma lucidum at home is so valuable, Xu Jinniang is no longer overly frugal in her daily life, and she is willing to spend it when she should spend it.
"Mother, you better eat less of these pickled things, now that there is a carriage at home, if you want to eat meat, you can go to the town to buy it." Tong Chuxue Road, things with high salt content are unhealthy after all, I want Xu Jinniang to be born in poverty, and there is no refrigerator, so I am used to eating cured meat.
Speaking of storage, Tong Chuxue suddenly thought, "Mother, did you say that the family should dig a cellar, how did you forget about it when you built a house?" ”
Tong Chuxue was a little remorseful.
In ancient times, there were no refrigerators, and if there was something to store at home, dig a cellar at home and put things in it.
"There are only two of us at home, and we don't need to dig a cellar." Xu Jinniang said.
The cellar is below ground level and has a relatively constant temperature, making it ideal for storing food.
Tong Chuxue disagreed with Xu Jinniang's opinion, "Mother, although there are not many people in the family, you can reserve some food to be prepared." ”
"Okay, you can dig if you say so." Xu Jinniang actually didn't have any opinions, and still chose to listen to Tong Chuxue.
Tong Chuxue chatted with Xu Jinniang without a pair, but her head kept thinking, and when she was halfway through the meal, Tong Chuxue suddenly put down her chopsticks, "I thought about it!" ”
