Volume 1 Chapter 58 Completed
"Just came back a while. You're not moving! Qiao Song said dotingly.
"Hehe, there's no way, Fleur, well, it's Ah Lai, she has to stay, I can only take them in, you know, there are only two rooms in our house that can live in people, only Fleur is fine, but she also brought four people over, we can barely live if you don't come back, you come back, you can't live, so we simply built the house." You wouldn't blame me, would you? Qiao Xi came to Qiao Song's side, grabbed the eldest brother's sleeve, shook it back and forth, and said coquettishly.
Facing such a coquettish sister, how could Qiao Song be angry, he would only feel distressed, "No, just don't tire yourself." He rubbed the top of Qiao Xi's hair dotingly.
"No, I'm very happy, when you come back next time, we can live in a new house." The calculation time is barely about the same, and then they will have a room for each of them, and a large study room, where many books can be placed for the eldest brother and the younger brother.
"Okay, live in a new house."
"By the way, big brother, I have bought a lot of wasteland, and I have asked someone to reclaim it, so you can grow a lot of vegetables, and there are watermelons, you haven't eaten them yet." Speaking of watermelons, Qiao Xi stopped, turned his head and instructed Lily, "Lily, pick two watermelons when you go back later." ”
"It's a girl."
"Watermelon, what's it?" In the half month since he left, how many things have happened in the family that he doesn't know, why he can't understand what his sister said.
"The fruit, the red naan, is delicious and sweet. I sold them all to Juxian Lou for 300 wen a catty. Qiao Xi talked to his eldest brother about what happened at home as he walked, and smiled very happily when he was happy.
"It's so expensive." What kind of thing is so expensive that it can be sold for three hundred wen a catty, Qiao Song is very puzzled.
"It's not expensive, I heard that this watermelon was a tribute from the shopkeeper Yang, only the emperor can eat it, and it is rare and expensive, I sell it almost here." The second batch of preparation seeds was prepared. "If you eat watermelon in summer, it is called a cool, if there is ice, take it to chill, it will taste cold and comfortable, you can relieve the heat, and it is a must-have for cooling down in summer.
She didn't count on the ice, saltpeter was monopolized by the government, otherwise she could make ice by herself.
However, putting watermelon in the well is not as cold as ice, but it is still very good.
"Tribute, is it okay to grow it yourself?" Tribute, then only the royal family can eat, they are just the most ordinary people, will not anger the royal majesty.
"Big brother, don't worry, no, if we can grow it ourselves, I think the emperor will only be happy, and he must also hope that his own people will live well." This is a tribute from other countries to the emperor, if the people of their own country can grow things from other countries, how can the emperor be unhappy, he will probably die of happiness in his heart, and the tribute country will have to exchange other things to pay tribute in the future.
"I hope so." They can't guess the thoughts of the superiors, so it's better to be like what my sister said.
"Big brother, don't think about it, just study with peace of mind."
"Okay, listen to you."
"Girl, the watermelon is cut and ready to eat." At this time, Fleur stepped forward and said.
"Big brother go, wash your hands and eat watermelon." When they came to the water tank, they scooped a spoonful of water and poured it into the basin, and the two of them quickly washed their hands.
"Big brother taste it, isn't it very sweet." Qiao Xi handed the cut watermelon to the eldest brother, and then picked up a piece and ate it himself, sweet, this is the real watermelon, pure and natural, the Heavenly Empire can't eat such a sweet watermelon.
Qiao Song took the watermelon, looked at it, and took a big bite, it was cool, sweet, and a sweetness soaked into his heart. "Little sister, this watermelon is so delicious, much better than oranges, I think it will be more refreshing to eat in summer." After Qiao Song ate the watermelon, he said how he felt.
"Big brother is really amazing, this watermelon is eaten in summer, but it can relieve the heat of the body, and you will feel very bright." The eldest brother can think of these things for the first time, and this head is really powerful.
"Wouldn't it be easier to sell in this way?"
"Well, and only we have it." You can't eat it anywhere else, but this one has no semicolon.
"Yes, you're amazing." Isn't it amazing, others can't grow it, but she succeeded, it's not God's love, what else can it be!
Qiao Song's words are not wrong, she is indeed loved by God, she died and was reborn, and gave her the ability to grow, and she has a storage ring.
"Brother, don't praise me, I'll be proud."
"You have the capital of pride."
"Big brother, I want to wait for the house to be completed, and then go to the county seat to open a shop specializing in snacks." Now that she has someone in her hands, she wants to do the business little by little, it doesn't need to be very big, first gain a firm foothold, and then develop slowly, she has time.
"Open a store? Are you busy? "It's planting vegetables and embroidery, won't she be too hard alone.
"Busy, I will hire someone to help us look at the vegetables at home, I just need to look at it from time to time, as for the embroidery anyway, it has only been signed for a year, and the embroidery every month is my personal decision, as long as it is handed over to the dexterous pavilion on time, if it is a snack shop, I just need to teach the craft to the narcissus, let her take people to watch the shop, the narcissus will kung fu, and there is no good fruit to eat if you want to provoke trouble." Opening a shop does not mean that it can be opened, you still need to prepare a lot of things, and the planning needs to be done first, so that you will not be in a hurry.
"Since you have already thought so long-term, the eldest brother supports you, and the eldest brother has said, do what you want to do. However, do you have enough money to open a shop? Shops in the county town are not cheap. "The price of a shop in a remote part of the county is better, if it is a good location, the price of the shop is not cheap at all, if you want to have a shop of your own, you have to have money.
"Big brother don't worry about money, I still make a lot of money by selling embroidery, vegetables, and watermelons." She has a few thousand taels in her hand, and she can still afford a shop, but she won't tell her eldest brother about the money, and she doesn't want him to worry.
"Why don't you slow down the matter of opening a shop for your little sister first, and wait until you have enough money." The family is buying wasteland and building a house, and the money must have been spent a lot, even if there is money, it will not be much, and he can still calculate the approximate income.
After the house is built, there will be a banquet, which is a custom, and it is necessary to invite someone to warm the house, so that it will get better and better in the future. In this way, this is a lot of expenses, and it will cost you everything.
Qiao Xi can roughly guess something, the eldest brother probably thinks that the family has spent a lot of money recently, and no matter how much money she has in her hand, she will not go anywhere, so she said this, "Okay, listen to the eldest brother, then take it slowly." ”
Qiao Song came back and left, Qiao Xi had long been used to it.
After sending Qiao Song away, Qiao Xi began to arrange for everyone to scatter vegetable seeds into the field according to her requirements, and handed over the work of weeding and care to Qiao Yun, Qiao Zhen and Hua Zeming, each person's daily salary is the same as that of the previous wasteland, thirty wen a day, and four days off in a month, but the rest of the three of them must be staggered, and they have to ensure that there are people in the field every day.
How could they not agree to such a good thing, and they are working in the village, close to home, and they can help at home if they have something.
Thirty wen a day, thirty days a month, except for four days of rest, there are twenty-six days, so calculated, you can get seven hundred and eighty wen a month, which is almost one tael. This is many times stronger than when they go out to find a short-term job by themselves, and they don't have to worry about their wages being deducted for no reason.
In this way, their sons can be sent to school to become literate.
The wind and the sun are beautiful, the spring breeze is blowing, Qiao Xi is now in front of his newly completed new house, with the word Qiao Mansion hanging high on it, the words on the plaque shine through the sunlight, shining, there are several rooms at the gate, which are specially for the gatekeepers to live, and there are all kinds of things inside, and there is no inferiority because it is a subordinate room.
Walking along the bluestone road, the two sides of the road are planted with all kinds of flowers that she went to the county to buy back, the flowers that were originally not pulled are under the blessing of her ability, and now they are full of vitality, many buds are waiting to be released, and a little dew can still be seen on the flowers and leaves.
There are also two branches on both sides of the road, leading to the wings on the left and right sides respectively, there are five wings on each side, and there is a bathroom at the end, and the bathroom is divided into two, one is a bath, and the other is a thatched house, but the thatched house here has been improved, and there is no smell in the house, there is a special flushing tank, and as soon as you pull the rope on it, the water in the groove will flow to the thatched pit and wash away the filth.
Qiao Xi took his little brother and the five of them, looking at each room from room to room, the furnishings in each room were different, and they had the same effect.
Especially those things that look strange, the chairs don't look like chairs, and I don't know what they're for.
"Sister, what is this, it looks so strange." Qiao Bai asked curiously with wide eyes.
"This is called a sofa, you can sit on it and try it, but it's comfortable." Looking at the familiar sofa and coffee table in front of her, she felt like she was back in the Celestial Empire, her eyes were a little wet, she blinked her eyes vigorously, not thinking about the past, she believed that her parents, brothers would have a good life.
"How are you going to sit on this?" Qiao Bai looked left and right, not knowing how to sit.
"Come, see how my sister sits, you can sit how you sit." Qiao Xi just sat down, with his back against his back, almost the whole person buried in it.
Seeing this, Qiao Bai sat in like this, "Wow, sister, this one is so comfortable to sit on, it's so fun." ”
"You also have it in your room, if you are tired from studying, you can nest up on the sofa to rest and relax your nerves."
"Mm-hmm, this is really good." Qiao Bai liked it very much.
