Chapter 124: Business Opportunities
On the third day, while having breakfast, the patriarchs of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village took dozens of old people in their fifties and sixties to Xiao Qiongzhi's house.
"Little master, this is the patriarch of Kuangjia Village, Meijia Village, Zhujia Village, and the nine Wangjia villages of the same clan as us, I have told them the method of identifying yam eggs and poria cocos according to your request." The patriarch of Wangjia Village pointed to the dozen old people beside him and said with a smile.
"Little master, this is the patriarch of Liaojia Village and Mujia Village next door to our village, as well as the three patriarchs of Xujia Village who are of the same clan as us, as well as the patriarchs of more than a dozen villages next door to Xujia Village, such as Yuanjia Village, Zhangjia Village, and Chenjia Village."
"We have also told them how to recognize yam eggs and poria cocos according to your request." The patriarch of Xujia Village pointed to more than twenty other old people, and then said.
"Little master, this is the patriarch of Tangjia Village, Huajia Village, Guojia Village, and the five Liujia Village of the same clan as us, according to your request, I have told them the method of identifying yam eggs and Poria cocos." The patriarch of Liujia Village pointed to the eight old men beside him and finally said.
"Okay. Then I'll take you up the mountain now and learn to recognize other grains. Xiao Qiongzhi nodded at everyone, put down her rice bowl, and prepared to go.
"Wait, little master, they said that they would also recognize you as their master in person, you let them swear first, and then talk about it." Patriarch Wang hurriedly reminded.
"Okay." Xiao Qiongzhi was not surprised, smiled, and nodded again.
Normal people will have gratitude and empathy.
Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village all got the method of recognizing miscellaneous grains because they took the initiative to swear and recognize her as their master.
When they help other villagers according to her request, they will definitely feel that it is reasonable to ask the other party to do the same.
"The emperor is above, and the earth is below, I swear! I seek glory from now on, I will treat the people of Zhoujia Village as brothers, and will never betray the people of Zhoujia Village, I am also willing to take the little fortune star branch of Zhoujia Village, as my master, for her to go to the soup and fire, at all costs, if you violate this oath, the sky will hit five thunders, and you will never be able to live forever! "The patriarch of Kuangjia Village brought by the patriarch of Wangjia Village took the lead in swearing.
The oaths he swore were basically the same as those of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village, and it is estimated that he had already been taught by the patriarch of Wangjia Village and memorized them.
Things were as Xiao Qiongzhi expected.
"The emperor is above, and the earth is below, I swear! I'm Umekubo...... Eternal life will not be superborn! The patriarch of Meijia Village, brought by the patriarch of Wangjia Village, hurriedly swore an oath.
"The emperor is above, and the earth is below, I swear! I, Zhu Linguang, will ...... from now on Eternal life will not be superborn! The patriarch of Linjia Village, brought by the patriarch of Wangjia Village, followed and swore an oath.
……
After all the new village patriarchs had sworn an oath, they all took out a large handful of paper from their arms and handed it to Xiao Qiongzhi.
Xiao Qiongzhi took a closer look and found that all of them were the oaths of the villagers of each village, except for the different names, the text content of the oath was the same as the oath of the patriarchs of each village.
Moreover, many of the fonts of these oaths are the same, and they are obviously written by someone else, but in the lower right corner of the oath, there is a completely inconsistent crooked and twisted rhyme, and a red handprint.
It's really a group of very simple and honest farmers.
Xiao Qiongzhi carefully folded them all very carefully, planning to hand them over to Chu Yunniang to keep first.
"These are everyone's wishes, it's not safe to put them outside, so I'll take them." Zheng Bang also attached great importance to them, and reached out to pick them up at the right time.
Xiao Qiongzhi immediately understood that he was going to receive it and go to the small underground secret room built for him, so he handed it to him.
"Zhi'er, I feel that my injury is scary to look at, but in fact, I am not brave enough, and it is too uneconomical to stay at home and be idle!"
"Why don't you let me go up the mountain with you this time and pick some mountain chestnuts by the way?" After Zheng Bang left, Liu Wuxiu suddenly came over and said to Xiao Qiongzhi with a smile.
Last night, Xiao Qiongzhi deliberately told her about her encounter with Zhou Dayong and Chu Mansion in public after dinner.
Chu Yunniang, the dog, and the stone already know it.
Xiao Qiongzhi also made a decision that within seven days, she and Zhou Dayong would have to stay at home honestly, rest well, and recuperate.
Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang continued to hunt in the mountains and shoot wild boars.
As for Chu Yunniang, Gouzi, and Shishi, they are responsible for staying at home to supervise, and when they find that something is wrong, they will set off firecrackers at any time to notify Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang.
At that time, she and Zhou Dayong both thought that seven days was too long, and they thought that leaving three people to guard them was too wasteful of manpower, so they disagreed.
Zheng Bang said: "Zhi'er is also for your good, if any of you oppose her decision, I will control whose acupuncture points!" ”
She and Zhou Dayong didn't dare to make a sound.
Now, finally taking the opportunity that Zheng Bang is not by Xiao Qiongzhi's side, she can't be happier.
Xiao Qiongzhi was a little distressed.
She deliberately left Chu Yunniang, Gouzi, and Shi Shi to supervise Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong, so that they could accompany Liu Wuxiu and spend the last few days of their lives in the joy of family.
However, about this truth, she not only has to hide it from Liu Wuxiu, but also from Chu Yunniang, Zhou Dayong, Gouzi, and Shishi, because they are all people who can't hide their hearts very much.
Today is still the first day, Liu Wuxiu can't be idle, and the days that follow will definitely be even more idle.
In this way, how can you feel the joy of family?
She lowered her head, thought about it seriously, and suddenly had an idea, pulled Liu Wuxiu aside, and said with a smile: "Aunt Liu, since you can't be idle, I'll find something that can make money for you, let's do it for you!" ”
"From today onwards, you take me, my second uncle, dogs, and stones to peel mountain chestnuts together, and after peeling them, put them in buckets and basins, soak them in clean water, and change the water every three hours."
"When all the mountain chestnuts are peeled and soaked, I will teach you and my mother to make them into mountain chestnut tofu and take them to the county to sell."
"It turns out that mountain chestnuts can be made into tofu to eat, branches, is it delicious? Can you sell it for a good price? Liu Wuxiu immediately became interested, and looked at Xiao Qiongzhi with bright eyes.
"This mountain chestnut tofu is a hundred times more delicious than the tofu made from soybeans. It is a very distant country, and the tribute made with the secret recipe of the palace and presented to Emperor Xiao to my Emperor is not sold by the people at all. ”
"However, my father, who used to spend a lot of money and quietly asked the envoy of that country for the secret recipe."
He also quietly asked people to make some and take them to the big restaurant to sell, as long as the palm is a big piece of tofu, you can sell it for one or two silver! It's a pity that it's only been sold for a few days, and my father had an accident on the way because he sent my mother back to his parents' house......" Xiao Qiongzhi said in the end, with a look of regret.
Liu Wuxiu believed it and hurriedly persuaded her: "Zhi'er, don't be sad, you don't have your father, and your wise father, your mother, your uncle, your second uncle, and me!" ”
"You wait, I will definitely help you well, make this mountain chestnut tofu, and when the time comes, sell a lot of silver, and let you be a rich lady!"
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Liu!" Xiao Qiongzhi affectionately took her face and rubbed her rough hands.
"By the way, and, Zhi'er, since this mountain chestnut tofu is made by your father with a great foreign court recipe that your father sold for a lot of money, you still don't tell anyone else about this method."
"Otherwise, your father will scold you for being a loser under Jiuquan, and if everyone can do it, it will definitely be worthless." When Liu Wuxiu strode away and was about to peel mountain chestnuts, he suddenly turned back uneasily and reminded Xiao Qiongzhi.
"Okay." Xiao Qiongzhi was inspired and nodded again and again.
Although the mountain chestnut tofu is not made by her father "with a great foreign court recipe that she sold with a lot of money", it should not be available in this era.
Because, according to the world in her memory, her grandmother's relatives said that this was during the Ming Dynasty, and people began to find ways to learn to do it.
If the time comes, take the finished mountain chestnut tofu to the county and sell it, if there are many people who like to eat it, and when you make more money, you can consider teaching this method to some reliable villagers, and open a mountain chestnut tofu shop in each city in the chain store model.
In this way, not only will they make more money, but they will also make many villagers jump out of the farm and make a fortune, killing two birds with one stone.
As for the other villagers, although they can't make mountain chestnut tofu because they haven't learned the method, it's okay.
At that time, they can buy the mountain chestnuts they picked at a high price, and let them use the money from selling the mountain chestnuts in exchange for more other grains.
