Chapter XII
This is exactly what Mingxiu thinks in her heart, it is already good to be able to sell it to subsidize a little family, if you want to get a high price for a rich and noble family, and whether she can enter the door of a rich and noble family, or sell it, whether this silver can be retained is two words.
It's good to be able to earn a little money to improve the food for the family.
"Then I'll be relieved."
Mingxiu knew that he couldn't sell it at a high price, not only did he not have the slightest loss, but he was also full of joy on his face, Xie Zhan seemed to be a little puzzled.
Everyone in the world loves money, and Mingxiu doesn't look like a person who puts money out of his mind, how can he know how much money he can't make and be so happy?
Many exchanges told Xie Zhan that there were some things that he and Mingxiu just couldn't talk about, so although he was puzzled, Xie Zhan was still very rational and didn't ask deeply.
With Xie Zhan's support, even if Ming's father and mother didn't agree with Mingxiu's doing, they could only do it by the child.
Just because Mingxiu is so bent on going his own way, Ming's father's hair is going to turn white.
What if someone buys Mingxiu's mushrooms and eats them bad!
There are too many poisonous things in this thing, even if the parents of the Ming family believe in their children, they don't think that Mingxiu can have the ability to distinguish, if it weren't for Xie Zhan saying that these are non-toxic, and even willing to taste them first, even if they lock Mingxiu up at home, they won't let her sell those things.
Xie Zhan is still a relatively confident person in the hearts of the Ming family's parents, not because they don't believe in Mingxiu, but because Mingxiu's previous situation is a little ......
Mother Ming made mushrooms in the evening under the guidance of Xie Zhan, and put a little bit of various types.
Even if they believed Xie Zhan, when they really wanted to eat, Ming's father and Ming's mother were still a little hesitant.
"Why don't you eat the food?"
Mingxiu and his gang glanced at them, and took a bite of the mushroom without the slightest mustard.
In this unpolluted environment, the freshness of mushrooms is not comparable to later generations, although it is coarse tea and light rice, but it also leaves the original fresh fragrance of mushrooms.
Mingxiu narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.
"Xiu'er ......"
Ming's mother looked at Mingxiu worriedly, for fear that she would eat indiscriminately and eat badly.
"It's okay, I'm not doing well?"
Mingxiu didn't care, since she dared to eat, she was sure.
"Auntie's craftsmanship is really good, this mushroom is very good." Xie Zhan admired, "There are some things in the capital that are not comparable." ”
"Where is it so good as you say?"
Xie Zhan's praise for Ming's mother was very useful, but he was still modest.
Mingxiu was a little funny in her heart, "Since it's okay, let's start eating." ”
The two parents are not young people in the end, and they are relatively receptive.
Although Ming's father and mother also think that these fungi are not bad, they have never been exposed to it, and they still feel a little unaccustomed to it.
Seeing them like this, Mingxiu's originally settled mind became apprehensive again.
"My mom and dad are like that...... Is there really anyone in town who buys these mushrooms? ”
Xie Zhan glanced at her and said lightly, "If I say no, will you not go to the town?" ”
"How so." On the contrary, Mingxiu was surprised, "Since these things have been brought back, if you don't go to the town to try them, wouldn't it be a waste?" ”
Xie Zhan was a little helpless: "Since that's the case, then why do you have to worry about it?" Can you sell it and try it out in town? ”
Although these things are very popular among the nobles of the capital, it is remote after all, and it is still two to say whether anyone can see it.
Therefore, he had no way to tell Mingxiu categorically that he would definitely be able to sell it.
But even so, the restlessness in Mingxiu's heart was born a lot.
She exhaled softly, "You're right, it's not time to sell it yet, and it's useless to worry about it now." ”
She has always been open-minded, although she is worried, but she is worried about it.
It's been a sunny day these days, and Mingxiu quickly dried the mushrooms into dried goods and sold them in the town.
Unexpectedly, there are still a lot of restaurants that buy these, and Mingxiu only entered one casually, and took it for convenience, giving a price of fifty wen a catty.
Although this price is a little low, it is also acceptable to Mingxiu.
"Although this thing can make money, it is too poisonous." Ming's father was moved to make money, but he was also worried that he didn't know enough and bad things, he pursed his lips slightly, and he didn't know how to choose.
"Dad, Xie Zhan will see if it's poisonous!"
At this time, Mingxiu finally knew the benefits of Xie Zhan, she pulled the person over with a smile, "Let's go and pick up the mushrooms back for Xie Zhan to distinguish, if they are non-toxic, we will dry them and sell them in the town, if they are poisonous, we will throw them away." ”
"That's a way to go." Father Ming nodded and looked at Xie Zhan with a smile, "That's hard work for you." ”
Xie Zhan: "??? ”
What did he say? How did it come to an end?
He has never been the only one who annoys other people, where is there anyone else who bothers him?
Can......
Xie Zhan glanced at Mingxiu quietly.
Forget it, it's not a big deal, it's not good for him to eat and drink for nothing in Mingxiu's house as a big man, so he can help some.
Seeing that he didn't refuse, Mingxiu quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Dad, I heard from the people in the town that if you open up the wasteland, you don't have to pay taxes for one year, you only need to pay a quarter of it in the second year, and half of it in the third year, is it true?"
Ming's father touched Mingxiu's head, "Naturally, it's true, only three-quarters of the tax will be paid in the fourth year, and the full tax will not be paid until the fifth year." ”
"In that case...... Then why don't our family open up the wasteland by themselves? Mingxiu wondered, no matter Ming's father and mother, they didn't look like lazy people, land is the root of farmers, why did the family only have two acres of land before, and they could only make ends meet, but they didn't go to another wasteland?
"Silly boy, raising land is not so simple." Ming's father sighed in his heart, how could he not know what Mingxiu said? Two years earlier, he originally planned to open up the wasteland by himself, but Ming's mother calculated an account for him.
"After clearing the wasteland, the fertilizer needs silver, you have to plant beans to raise the land first, this is another amount of silver, the first stubble will not harvest much at all, we raise the land this effort, I'm afraid I can't even eat."
At this time, although the cultivated land is not expensive, it is not necessary to open up wasteland, as long as it can be planted, it is encouraged to open as much as the imperial court.
But even so, there is still a lot of wasteland in the village, why?
Isn't it because it costs too much money to raise land?
Under Ming's father's explanation, Mingxiu learned that the original land cultivation in the desert country was all fertilizer sold in the shops in the town, although some people also made their own fertilizer, but it had little effect.
In most cases, it takes three or four generations to raise about ten acres of fertile land, and everyone regards it as the root of life.
After knowing why, Mingxiu couldn't help laughing, didn't this make her find the right job?
"Dad, let's open up the wasteland."
