Chapter 234: Knowing?
Ye's face turned pale with a "brush", and the hands in his sleeves trembled slightly.
Ripples came through the fabric.
Song Qingyuan stood in front of the Ye family silently.
"This uncle has seen my third aunt?" Song Qingyuan thought, "No, my third aunt has always lived here and has never been out of town." ”
"Has Uncle ever been to our town?" Song Qingyuan asked.
"No, it's my first time here." The big man shook his head, "This woman looks a lot like someone I've ever seen. ”
"However, more than ten years have passed, and I can't remember what that person looks like......" Dahan shook his head and smiled, secretly saying that he was too careful, how could there be such a coincidence in the world.
Besides, although this family lives in a mud house, it is obviously a good family to wear.
The man...... Fear...... The big man shook his head secretly.
Turning back and continuing to instruct the hired workers to plant trees, Ye's footsteps were fast and he staggered back to the old house.
Song Qingrong and Song Qingmo also noticed that something was wrong with the Ye family and followed back.
Song Qingyuan leaned over to distract the mountain men and talked to the mountain men about the things in the mountains.
In the small talk, Song Qingyuan also had a certain understanding of the mountains.
It turned out that the mountains were different from what they imagined, there were no mountain bandits at all, and there was no such thing as murder for money.
In fact, there is no difference between the mountains and the villages, but the roads in the mountains are not easy to walk, and the land is all mountainous, with little production, and every family has a hard time.
Therefore, it is extremely poor, and it is common to sell children and daughters in the mountains.
Some families really can't get by, so selling their children in exchange for food is a way to live for their children and their families.
The children who were sold, although they were slaves and slaves, did not starve to death.
............
Listening to the words of the man in the mountains, Song Qingyuan couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, she was lucky and didn't cross into the mountains.
Otherwise, in the case of inconvenient transportation, she has thousands of ideas to make money, and she can't use them.
"It turns out that there are really co-wives in the mountains, and there are quite a few wife exchanges......" Song Qingyuan muttered.
Thinking in my heart, Ye's luck was also good, although the old lady was not very satisfied with Ye, but she didn't treat her too harshly.
Compared with being in the mountains, the Ye family who entered the Song family is considered a blessing.
There were a lot of people, the trees were planted quickly, and the guidance of the mountain men was completed, so they left.
An orchard of one acre of land can plant about 80 fruit trees, and the Song family planted trees for the first time, without making too many trees, and dug 60 pits, and now there are still ten left.
The Song family discussed it and decided to dig up the hawthorn trees in Maoer Mountain.
In advance, I had to say hello to Song Lizheng, and the Song family would hand over a lot of the money that should be paid to the yamen.
After paying the money, the Song family took the hired workers and went into Mao'er Mountain to dig trees.
Two days later, the Song family's orchard had been planted with fruit trees, and the old man Song took the time to come back and take a look. In this regard, Mr. Song was very satisfied.
It cost less than five taels of silver to buy an orchard, which is worth it.
"If the fruit trees can survive and blossom and bear fruit, we will buy the one behind us and expand the scale of the orchard." Old Man Song happily planned.
When everything is on the right track, the Song family's life will be better.
"Master, how's the connection between the lotus roots?" Song Qingyuan asked.
The fish pond and lotus pond have been excavated and are expected to be completed in about ten days. At that time, fish farming and lotus root planting will be on the agenda. Fish fry are easy to say, you can go to a small fishing village to buy them, the key is lotus root seeds.
"I have already contacted the merchants in the south, but the price is too expensive...... Old Man Song frowned, "The lotus root seeds in the two lotus ponds cost twenty taels of silver." ”
The ditch of the Song family is divided into three parts, two lotus ponds and one fish pond.
Two lotus ponds, a total of one acre and two acres of land, and one acre of fish ponds.
That is to say, one acre and two divisions of land cost twenty taels of silver.
This price is obviously beyond the psychological price of Old Man Song.
Song Qingyuan also didn't know the price of lotus roots, but the scarcity was expensive, and he had to travel a long way from the south to transport it, and he had to make the difference in middlemen, so it must not be cheap.
Song Qingyuan pondered and said, "Master, the lotus root seed only needs to be bought once, and the lotus root will be produced by itself in the future, this is a transaction that will be invested and benefited for life." ”
"It's like an orchard, if you plant fruit trees, you can bear fruit every year."
"Master, we have to take a long-term view, and the money we invested will come back sooner or later."
"Besides, things are rare and expensive, lotus pods, lotus seeds, lotus roots, are relatively scarce here, and the price is convenient and can be sold."
"That's ......," Song Qingyuan groaned slightly, "the planting of lotus root seeds...... After all, there is no experience. "Once the planting is not good, the money can be saved.
"There's no need to worry about that." Old Man Song said, "The merchant has already said that he will buy lotus root seeds from him, and he will be responsible for bringing someone who knows how to come and teach." ”
"It's just that we have to pay the silver ourselves, and the price we said is one tael." Old Man Song briefly explained the matter.
Song Qingyuan understood that the guest would help them hire a person who knew how to plant lotus root in the south and come with the boat, but they needed to pay for the labor costs.
"This one can be!" Song Qingyuan said, "This price is not expensive, if it is not for the merchant's ship, I am afraid that the travel fee will be more than one or two silver." ”
"Then I'll settle when I go back?" Old Man Song was a little hesitant.
The family has more than 160 taels, and after throwing away the wages of the hired workers, buying fruit trees, lotus root seeds, fish fry, and land, there is not much left.
Old Man Song looked at Zhou, "What do you think?" "The old couple always have to ask Zhou's opinion.
"Buy!" Zhou's categorical way.
Old Man Song was stunned, he didn't expect Zhou's to be so bold, and after thinking about it, it's right, Zhou's bean sprouts are simply profitable, and he has an income of several taels of silver every day, so he naturally doesn't care about these twenty taels.
Sprouts...... Sprouts...... Old Man Song's heart soured when he thought about it.
"The second child of the Cui family, Song Chunlai, Song Chunsheng don't treat you badly......" Old Man Song advised.
"Dad, don't worry, the family has already sent money." Song Chengli said, "Thanks to the three of them when I went out this time, when I came back, my mother asked me to send money." ”
"Song Chunlai, Song Chunsheng has 300 wen for one person, and Cui Lao Er has sent 500 wen." Song Chengli explained, "Our family has been using the old Cui family's ox cart, and we haven't given money, so we will ...... this time."
"It should be! You're welcome! Old Man Song nodded again and again.
looked at Zhou with satisfaction, "It's still thoughtful." ”
"You still need to say it!" Zhou snorted and didn't turn around.
Old man Song smiled, old husband and wife, he understood Zhou's awkward temper, and he didn't care.
After chatting with the two grandsons who were waiting for the exam, I gave some advice, and went back to the county.
Out of the upper room, Erlang called Song Qingyuan to stop and handed Song Qingyuan a bag of money, "All the dried sweet potatoes have been sold, and a total of seventy taels have been sold." ”
"Divide your thirty taels, and a little bit of a penny, and give it to the brothers as benefits, what's the matter?" Erlang said.
"Okay!" Song Qingyuan nodded happily.
Jiro chuckled, and he knew that his sister was bright.
"Six acres of dried sweet potatoes were sold for seventy taels, how about our land, how about planting sweet potatoes this year?" Jiro asked.
