The completion of the Song family's house is imminent, Song Haitang has not come to the courtyard for many days, and when he saw Song Haitang at this time, Gu Yao said angrily: "Yo, can you be considered busy?" I guess something came to me today, right? ”

Song Haitang smiled, and then Dafang admitted: "Yes." If you don't have anything to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace, I think the whole vegetable shed, I think I can build it up quickly now, and I can harvest a season. There's no other way to build a house with a fire wall. No matter how good the idea is, there is only no money and Tian, and the girl has to help. ”

When they were in Fengcheng, the Gu family was the most economical, and the three courtyards they lived in cost more than ten taels of silver a year to burn charcoal. Burning a super large greenhouse, just this one will make the cost extremely high, Gu Yao felt unrealistic, so he asked Song Haitang: "How about building a greenhouse and planting flowers?" ”

Song Haitang disagreed, and waved his finger to analyze with Gu Yao: "Someone buys the vegetables, how many flowers do you have?" Believe me, growing vegetables is more suitable. You don't have to burn it all year round, it's estimated that it's about the same in the first half of the year, in the second half of the year in October and November. A half-acre shed doesn't cost two dollars. ”

At present, two acres of land can probably feed a family of ten. Gu Yao thought that Song Haitang didn't know, and reminded her with a smile: "Half an acre of vegetable sheds? What do you do? ”

Song Haitang shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Then a few more, in the first year, four will be fine." ”

"Four or two acres, charcoal alone will cost thousands of catties. Liaodong charcoal is three wen a catty, which is thirty taels of silver, and the charcoal price in Shuntianfu is definitely not as cheap as Liaodong. Thirty or forty taels of silver, two acres of vegetable fields, can you earn so much? ”

Song Haitang said: "I don't know how much charcoal is, but I cut firewood for two months last winter, and I know the price of firewood best." Small dan two penny, save a little, two dan can burn a day's hot kang. A large load of firewood and five texts can burn the kang to the point of hot buttocks. ”

Five Wen and one Kang, ten Kang are only fifty Wen, and it is only more than one hang a month, which is indeed not expensive. Premise, no manual words are required.

Song Haitang said: "Put the stove of the fire wall in the shed, as long as you burn charcoal in the shed, the shed will produce a kind of heating thing, and the shed will be naturally warm, so that firewood will be saved." ”

Do you mean that you burn charcoal and then produce carbon dioxide to keep you warm? But in this process, the production of carbon monoxide is indispensable, and if the vegetables are not grown, they will poison people to death first, which is just playing big hair. Gu Yao thought that Song Haitang didn't know the reason for this, so he refused directly.

"No way!"

Gu Yao understood that it was also illegal to blindly refuse, so he quickly gave Song Haitang an idea: "I'll give you money, you raise some chickens, ducks and geese or something, okay?" ”

Wanping has only opened up a lot of barren land in recent years, planted a lot of alfalfa, and has abundant breeding raw materials. Not to mention Gu Yao, Song Haitang really thought about it, so he didn't hide it from Gu Yao and said, "I do have this plan." You can only catch chickens in March and April next year, so you don't have to worry. The vegetable shed is now available, do you want to rest assured, let's get an acre of vegetable shed first, can you? Just give it a try. ”

Gu Yao didn't respond, Song Haitang showed disappointment, and then beat his spirits, invited Gu Yao to the Song family's warm house, and said: "I invited you, but you refused." ”

This means that Gu Yao will not go, Gu Yao "refused" the invitation very face-saving, and gave Song Haitang a hundred yuan as a congratulatory gift, telling her to be a good friend. On the day of the greening, the brothers of the Song family were also there.

The Song brothers studied when they were young, and compared with He Fu, a half-way monk, they had a sense of superiority. Especially the lobby brother of Begonia, Song Jiang. The young man himself is not good at studying, and a sea blows flickering, blowing the already difficult imperial examination more difficult than crossing. He Fu's family listened, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces are not relaxed.

Song Haitang heard it and said with a smile: "Miss Gu is also literate, can she still take the official exam?" It can be seen that reading and literacy must have side benefits. Remember the purpose of reading, and read well. ”

He Fu's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile, like a cute puppy.

On this day, he saw that Song Haitang was widowed and unhappy, so he asked why. Song Haitang hesitated for a moment, whether it was because he was too lonely to be alone, he still said that he was rejected by Gu Yao. After listening, He Fu said: "If you refuse, try again, maybe next time you can do it, my grandmother was cooking for people at that time, that's what she thought, she really made it, and she could cook for the county magistrate's family." ”

This is true, for Song Haitang, she can't find a second investor at present, except for grinding Gu Yao, there is really no better way. After thanking He Fu, Song Haitang got up and went to the other courtyard to grind Gu Yao.

1 day, 2 days, 3 days...... Day after day, Song Haitang didn't seem to know how to write the word "give up". Inadvertently, she touched Gu Yao's weakness - Gu Yao was most afraid of human grinding, and when it was only in June, she relented and said to Gu Zhixian, asking him to buy a two-acre reserved homestead and fund Song Haitang to make a vegetable shed test field.

Song Haitang was extremely upright and dictated a contract, and after Gu Yao picked up the pen and wrote it, she happily pressed a handprint. Song Haitang is a practical person, after pressing the handprint on the front foot, the back foot is busy, forgetting the "benefactor" Gu Yao.

Gu Yao shook his head with a smile and followed her to the front and back.

The vegetable shed was only built with mud bricks, and two thick layers were laid, and the two acres of land were divided into four parts, and four small sheds were built. In addition to the construction area, the vegetable growing space in each small shed is only a quarter of land. Gu Yao pointed to four long-term workers, one of whom was in charge of one, but it was okay.

In addition to the two acres of land, the other expenses of the vegetable shed are all paid by Gu Yao. The source of money, there is nothing to say, melt the gold and silver naked children obtained in the New Year, although it is not much, it is enough to get a few sheds.

After everything was done, Gu Yao sleeved the contract and went to Gu Zhixian.

Gu Zhixian looked at it and said with a smile: "It's just two acres of land, and the Communist Party can't make a lot of money, so you can keep it for yourself." ”

The four greenhouses, according to Song Haitang's requirements, only planted cucumbers and beans. Since the end of September, one stubble after another has been harvested, and it has been harvested for a month, and it has been sold extremely expensive. What's even more ruthless is that after burning the greenhouse for more than a month, Song Haitang hired four more mothers-in-law to steam steamed steamed buns, and the kung fu of selling vegetables sold steamed buns along the way.

At first, the greenhouse burned for a short time, and only about 100 steamed buns were made in the four sheds. Rao is like this, and it has not been sold out, there are a lot of steamed buns left every day, and the Song and He families can divide a few every day, and the rest are sent to other hospitals.

Later, when he could steam three or four hundred steamed buns a day, I don't know what method Song Haitang used, but he could sell them every day. A steamed bun is a penny, in addition to the cost and the wages of several mothers-in-law, you can earn 180 wen a day.

Gu Yao had already returned to the city, and Song Haitang sold vegetables and steamed buns every day, so he went to send money to Gu Yao so that she could keep accounts.

On the eighth day of November, the vegetable shed was completely empty.

Gu Yao was busy with the New Year's gifts everywhere, and he didn't have time to calculate the general account, so he asked Song Haitang to wait for her letter first. Until late November, Gu Yao called Zhang Sheng to pick up Song Haitang into the city. How many vegetables Song Haitang sold, he kept a small account that no one could understand. According to her estimate, Gu Yao should give her ten taels of silver.

Ten taels, enough for their family to eat and drink for two years!

Song Haitang took a few deep breaths, said to his parents, and instructed Qiu Ju: "You play for a while, and the remaining persimmons will be made with you when I come back." ”
