After lunch, Jiang Xi settled the money for the woman and let her go directly.

The woman also wanted to leave early to clarify those things, so as not to be approached by the Shen family.

Because they were discovered early and dealt with properly, these rumors were quickly suppressed.

However, many people are speculating about who the person who is married to the Jiang family is, after all, not anyone can get so much money.

Some people say that it is a big family in the county, and some people say that it is even more outrageous, saying that it is an official eunuch's family.

Jiangxi didn't explain, as long as he didn't spread the Shen family.

Two days later, the farm was finally over.

The yard was full of recovered wheat, and Jiang Xi looked at this hill of grain, and his face was full of smiles.

"I really didn't expect our family to have such a day!"

Li couldn't help but sigh, looking at these wheat, it was like looking at a baby.

"Who would have thought that we couldn't even eat last year, and this year we are about to become big landlords."

The old man also walked over, with a happy look on his face.

"In this world, anything is possible, and it is up to man. In the future, our family will definitely get better and better. But," said the old man, "we have so much grain in our house now, and we must find a place to dry it somewhere as soon as possible." ”

Jiangxi also made difficulties, and these wheat must be dried and stored in the warehouse as soon as possible. However, many of the drying fields in this village have been occupied, and there is only a small area that their family can use.

If it is not dried on these days, then once the weather is a little wetter, it may become moldy.

This April day is cloudy and sunny, and rain is common.

Fortunately, this is in the north, not like the south, where there will be plum rain, otherwise, the problem will be even greater.

"I don't have enough drying grounds, I have some solutions, but I need a little manpower."

Jiangxi remembered that he used to be at his grandmother's house, and he had seen his grandmother drying food with a bamboo mat, which was clean and convenient.

It's just that it may take time to make bamboo mats, and there is no one at home at present, but to dry these grains, it will take dozens of sheets, not to mention that.

"Manpower is easy to do, now most of them have finished farm work, as long as our family can contribute, it is no problem to find a few people." Hearing that there was a solution, the old man's brows immediately relaxed.

Li also chimed in: "Yes, Xi'er, what is the way, you can talk about it quickly." ”

Jiangxi immediately said the method of drying things with bamboo mats, and after listening to it, the old man felt that it was feasible.

"Then this person can't be found casually, you have to find some people who can weave bamboo strips."

"Yes, we have to find those who are well made, find more, and finally make what we want in half a day."

"Well, I'll look for someone."

The old man would weave bamboo strips, and he knew the craftsmen in the village, and it was the best choice for him to go.

Before the old man went out, Jiang Xi also pulled him over and whispered a few words in his ear. The old man's face showed a slight surprise, and then he nodded.

"Okay!"

Li felt very strange what the two grandsons were talking about.

When the old man left, Li asked about it, and Jiang Xi smiled and said it was a secret.

The old man was very efficient, and in the afternoon, many people came, all of whom were veterans of weaving bamboo strips.

Jiangxi went to Zhang's butcher's house, at that time Zhang butcher had just killed a pig, Jiangxi weighed three catties of pork, received pig blood, and bought a catty of pork liver and two catties of large intestine.

There were still vegetables in the vegetable field at home, and Jiangxi cut some back, and cooked several dishes with the Li family in the evening, and entertained these craftsmen well.

With bamboo mats, the problem of drying wheat is solved.

The beach in front of Jiangxi's house, there is a large open space, put the bamboo mat over there, if it rains, directly wrap the bamboo mat, you can take it back, it is very convenient.

At the same time, the family also bought some timber and that kind of green bricks, and planned to take advantage of this time to build two or three more rooms and expand the yard.

The craftsman who repaired the house was also found in the village, including three meals and ten yuan a day, and many people in the village came to help.

Jiang Xi and the old man were not at home, they went to the shop in town, the hot pot restaurant has been closed for almost ten days, and it is time to open. In the house, the Li family cooks, and Yuan Xiu is responsible for supervising the craftsmen to repair the house.

Jiang Xi was turning the abacus in the store, calculating the income of the store while counting the money left in the family.

The rent in the county seat is fifty taels of silver a year, or the price given to them in the face of the county lord. If it is an ordinary person, it is estimated that it will not be able to take it if it is less than seventy taels.

Jiangxi calculated, now there are almost more than 70 taels of silver in the family, 50 taels of rent is paid, and more than 10 taels are used to repair the house, and their family has no money left.

Nowadays, we can only wait for the grain to be sold, so that we can have cash in our hands, and when the time comes, we can hire someone to pick ordinary wine.

Moreover, there is one thing that must be done in these two days, otherwise this year's wine may not be made.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of the lack of people, Jiang Xi took two coins of silver from the shop, said a word to the old man, and walked towards the mountain.

The weather gradually got hotter, and by the time Jiang Xi came to the mountains, he was already tired and sweating.

found Aunt Wang's house, Jiang Xi took out the silver and explained his intention.

Aunt Wang readily agreed, her kid happened to be fine recently, just to guard the wild grapes, she could earn two dollars of silver, which no one would refuse.

Jiangxi also deliberately went to the back mountain to take a look, the wild grapes have grown well this year, and have borne a lot of fruits, except for some birds, no one has touched them.

When he returned to the town, it was already evening, and Jiangxi was busy settling accounts again.

After several days, the Jiangxi family's house has changed slightly, but it is estimated that it will take a long time to really repair it.

However, their wheat was dried, and after the old man picked out some of it and put it in the warehouse, he let the rest out, saying that it was going to be sold.

Naturally, the people in the village will not buy it, either they have it themselves, or they don't have the land, so they go directly to buy sorghum rice to eat.

Not everyone can eat wheat, and most people are willing to eat cheap sorghum.

One acre of wheat can harvest up to 400 catties, and Jiangxi's 20 acres of land is only 8,000 catties. Switching to sorghum has at least doubled yields, which is why wheat is more expensive than sorghum.

Jiangxi's family eats 50 catties of rice, 30 catties of noodles, and 10 catties of wheat a month, which can produce about 8 catties of flour, and it is enough to keep about 4 or 500 catties a year.

Of the remaining more than 7,000 catties, pay more than 800 catties of taxes, and the rest of them can be taken out and sold.

The price of wheat is more expensive than sorghum, a catty is about two cents, and the remaining 6,700 catties of wheat can be sold for thirteen taels of silver.

When wheat is planted, corn and rice should be planted, and two crops can be harvested a year, that is to say, it can be sold for more than 20 to 30 taels of silver a year.

Twenty acres of land is like this, Jiang Xi thought, when there is more land at home in the future, he can sit at home and wait to collect the money.

More than 7,000 catties of wheat are not so easy to sell, but with the Shen family's shops, they still found a few buyers in Jiangxi very easily, and they are several big households in neighboring counties.

These large families have dozens of people in the family, and they eat a lot of food, and they are gone for a few thousand catties a year.

After the grain was sold, Jiangxi was ready to go to the county seat with the old man and Yuan Xiu, and put the shop down as soon as possible, so that it could be opened as soon as possible.

In the county seat, there is also a hot pot restaurant, but it is not the small copper stove in the town. Jiangxi went to the blacksmith's house and asked him to make a set of pots and pans.

There is a round pot on top, with a layer in the middle where the charcoal fire is placed, and below is a few stands, so that it will be more convenient to cook things.

After seeing that there was no problem, she directly asked the blacksmith to go and make another twenty or thirty sets, and when she came back from the county seat, the pot should be almost done.

Early in the morning, Jiangxi hired a car, and the three of them set off towards the county seat.

When I arrived at the place, I signed an agreement with the owner of the shop, and within a year, the shop would be considered theirs.

didn't stay too much time in the county, and that night, except for the old man, Jiang Xi and Yuan Xiu all went back.

The old man stayed in the county, so he naturally had something to do.

Their family should be more accurate in his view, and in the hot pot restaurant in the town, it is currently inseparable from Jiangxi, and Yuan Xiu doesn't know anything about recruiting people, so the matter of recruiting guys and helpers can only be paid attention to by the old man.

The grapes on the mountain are almost ripe, and Jiangxi plans to hire someone to pick them.

These people hired should be carefully selected, and last time Jiang Xi discussed with the old man, planning to recruit a few long-term workers at home.

Making wine requires manpower, and the big and small affairs at home, as well as farm work in the fields, all of which require manpower, and you can't always invite someone to come. With long-term jobs, they can all be more relaxed.

As for who to hire, Jiang Xi already had an idea.

After observing her and the old man for so long, she felt that Liu Erzhu and his daughter-in-law in the village were not bad, as well as Huzi's father Zhang Quan, and Zhang Laosan. Their family is in the village, they are all landless people, and they go to the town to help pay tribute on weekdays, but most of the time they are not alive, and they can only live one day at a time.

If they can be signed to do their own long-term work, they will definitely agree.

These people are neat and sharp, they don't procrastinate, and they are honest people, so they don't have to worry about anything when they come to the family.

Now, these people are still helping their family repair their house.

At dinner in the evening, Jiangxi specially called a few out and said a few words to them, and when they heard that Jiangxi's family wanted to recruit them as long-term workers, all of them showed surprise on their faces.

"Really? Of course we are willing, your family treats people so well, I don't know how many people will envy us! ”
