Not long after the winter solstice, the Xie family's leeks and garlic were out of stock in less than half a month because of their popularity.

Only sprouts and seedlings have a short growth cycle and can be supplied continuously.

Han Zhengye urged him to quickly recruit more workers to dig the ground and expand the scale.

This time, he earned a total of about three hundred taels by selling vegetables and bean sprouts, and Xie Qingshan saw that he had money in his hand again, and he also had this idea.

It was the dinner time of the Xie family, and everyone ate around the Eight Immortals table. Only at this time did the Xie family have time to gather together to talk, and everyone was very busy during the day.

Xie Qingshan said that he wanted to recruit more workers to dig the house.

"Grandpa, at this time, dig the ground house, it will take at least a month to complete the project, and then plant vegetables, and it will take another month to grow, and then it will be spring, and it will not be sold at a price!" Xie Xuan was eating a bowl of sweet egg custard, and when she heard Xie Qingshan's words, she persuaded:

"Besides, grandpa, you didn't find out? Look at the winter vegetables we planted and sold them for money, how many people outside followed the trend to dig the ground house to grow vegetables? When we hire someone to dig the ground house and plant good vegetables, people's winter vegetables will also be on the market, even if they don't grow as good as us, the price is slightly lower than what we ordered, and someone buys it. ”

After all, planting winter vegetables is not too technical, as long as the temperature and humidity are reached, even if the fertilizer ratio is not as good as the Xie family, at most it will not grow as lush as the Xie family, and if the price is lowered, it will also be profitable.

Xie Qingshan paused with his hand holding the steamed bun, sighed and said: "Yes, there are people in several nearby villages who have learned to grow winter vegetables for us, Beixinzhuang, Wangjiazhuang, and Huluzhuang, I have heard that some people plant them." ”

When Xie Pingtian heard this, he angrily waved his chopsticks in the air, and said angrily: "Li Da and Li Er also secretly dig the ground house to plant miles, if it weren't for Zhang Heizi, who worked in our house last time, to tell me, I wouldn't know about it!" ”

Fortunately, Xie Ping'an watched the ground house in Zhuangzi, if he knew about this, he would definitely take a hoe to Gangxia Village to fight the Li family.

"As long as we see that we are making money, then there must be people who follow the trend and learn, which is inevitable." Xie Xuan said.

Everyone sighed.

Xie Xuan finished eating the egg custard in one go, Xie Wang gave her half a bowl of noodle soup, Xie Xuan patted her little belly, and smiled helplessly: "Grandma, I can't eat a mile!" ”

"The little baby is growing up, eat some more!" Xie Wang said with a smile.

Xie Xuan had to drink a few mouthfuls of noodle soup with scrambled eggs with leeks, but he couldn't finish it, and Xie Wang drank the rest.

Xie Xuan was rubbing her bulging belly, when she suddenly remembered something and said, "Grandpa, I haven't been so busy in the past two days, let's buy some pig's head meat and kill a chicken tomorrow." Didn't I say that there is a lo-mei recipe, let's try it, if the taste is better than what is sold in the county, and we happen to have money in our hands, we can buy a shop and sell lo-mei cooked food, how about it? ”

Xie Qingshan didn't agree immediately, and said with some hesitation: "Do business?" Our family has been digging in the soil for generations, and I don't know if it can be done? Growing vegetables is also our old business, and when it's our turn to do business, we don't have experience......"

Xie Wang slapped his face and said: "In previous years, I went to the county to sell vegetables and mountain goods, but it was different from doing business?" Isn't there just an extra shop, and it's not bad to sell mountain goods! With this great opportunity to make money in front of you, old man, what are you hesitating about? ”

"Grandpa, it's not like we're going to open a shop right away, tomorrow we will marinate some pig's head meat and a chicken, you taste it first, if it's not delicious, we won't be able to open this shop!" Xie Xuan said.

She understands Xie Qingshan's concerns, Xie Qingshan's main thing is to seek stability, not to do things that he is not sure of, and he only expanded his scale when he saw that he made money growing vegetables.

"Okay, let's try it tomorrow!" After thinking about it for a while, Xie Qingshan nodded and agreed.

Seeing that they had discussed, Xie Zhicheng next to him stared at his dark eyes, swallowed his saliva, and said to Xie Xuan: "Xuanxuan, do you want to marinate meat tomorrow?" When, when can we catch ......up after school?"

Although Xie Zhiyuan didn't speak, his eyes looking at Xie Xuan were also full of expectation.

"You are gluttonous, you only ate dumplings on the winter solstice a few days ago, and you still have egg custard and scrambled eggs every day, and you haven't stopped the two of you gluttony?" Lin struck Xie Zhicheng with chopsticks.

"Mother, no matter how delicious the eggs are, they can't be compared with meat! Shen Chengfu carries a lunch box every day, every day it is either chicken thighs or braised pork, as well as snacks, I look greedy! Xie Zhicheng touched his head and muttered.

"Which one is Shen Chengfu?" Xie Wang hurriedly asked.

Xie Zhiyuan explained: "It is the grandson of the Shen official of Liushutun, and the school occupies his family's house!" ”

Xie Pingtian, who was listening carefully next to him, heard it, his face became serious, and he said to Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng: "You are learning things in the academy, not comparing with others!" Let's dig food in the soil for you to go to school, but we can't learn the reason, but learn a bunch of bad things about the rich young master! ”

Xie Qingshan couldn't help but straighten his face and said, "What your father said is that we have been busy with our feet not touching the ground during this time, and we can't take care of you, so we can't learn badly!" ”

"Grandpa, Dad, we didn't learn badly, and yesterday Mr. praised me for writing neatly!" Xie Zhiyuan hurriedly explained, for fear that his family would misunderstand.

When Xie Zhicheng heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head to eat, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Xie Xuan saw Xie Zhicheng shrinking his head to avoid everyone's gaze, and couldn't help but upturn the corners of his mouth.

Xie Wangshi hurriedly came out to play a round: "It's just a child's gluttony, where can you learn badly?" Let's kill a chicken tomorrow, buy a pig's head in Huluzhuang, and eat braised meat according to Xuanxuan's method! ”

Everyone laughed and agreed.

Sure enough, after eating early the next morning, Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng were sent to school, and Xie Wang took Xie Xuan to Huluzhuang.

Huluzhuang is a big village nearby, located at the foot of Qingxuguan Mountain, because there are often people on Qingxuguan incense, it slowly forms a market in Huluzhuang under the mountain, and most of the farmers in nearby villages buy and sell things to Huluzhuang.

The most famous thing on the gourd village is the Jiang's roast chicken shop, who invites guests and gives gifts, they like to go to the Jiang's roast chicken shop to pick up a roast chicken.

The Xie family had bought it a few times before, and Xie Xuan ate it, and felt that the taste was not as good as everyone praised.

Huluzhuang is obviously richer than other villages, and many of the houses on both sides of the road are blue brick houses, unlike other villages, which are generally mud-walled thatched houses.

In particular, the middle street leading to Qingxuguan is lined with shops that are open for business, such as oil and salt sauce shops, butcher shops, cloth shops, incense paper shops, and teahouses, and the customers are also farmers in nearby villages.

Following Xie Wang's all the way, I met several familiar faces, all of whom pulled Xie Wang's greetings to talk, some asked the Xie family to sell winter vegetables, some asked the Xie family if they were still recruiting, and some wanted to tenant the Xie family's Zhuangzi Shangtian, Xie Wang's responded while greeting each other.

Xie Xuan was impatient to listen next to Xie Wang's family, and finally waited for those people to finish greeting Xie Wang's family, and then went to the butcher's shop with Xie Wang's family.

The butcher of the butcher's surname is Liu, he is a fat man, and when he saw Xie Wang coming over, he squinted his eyes with a smile, and hurriedly greeted: "Sister-in-law Wang, come to sell meat again today?" How much do you want, the pig you just killed today, fresh! ”

Because some time ago, the Xie family dug the ground house to entertain the workers, and bought pork at the Liu family's butcher shop every three or five days, and the purchase was dozens of catties, so the Liu butcher was very impressed by Xie Wang's family.

"Liu Tu, get me one of the pig's heads!" Xie Wang pointed to the pig's head on the board, and said with a smile: "You have to clean up for me, there can't be pig hair on it, you have to clean it up, and our family will inevitably come to you to buy it when we go back!" ”

When Liu Butcher heard this, his eyes lit up, and he shook a pig's head in front of Xie Wang's eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Wang, I Liu Tu, are you still not at ease?" If you don't say it, you will definitely clean it up! ”

Xie Xuan tiptoed to look at the meat on the board, and saw that the lean meat was pink in color, and the fat meat was milky white, which was indeed fresh, and asked, "Do you have pork bones here?" How is it sold? ”

Liu Butcher hurriedly said: "Pig bones? If you buy more meat, give it to you! ”

Xie Wang said: "Why don't you come here, just buy some meat and go back!" "Pick and choose on the board.

Xie Xuan came to Huluzhuang for the first time, looking east and west, there were novelties everywhere.

Just as Xie Xuan was looking around, he saw a familiar figure, standing in front of a small vendor selling velvet flowers, silk flowers, rows and grass combs, picking and choosing, and next to him seemed to be a few companions, chattering and laughing while picking.

The man has a long figure, grease and powder, his face is white, and his button-up shirt is tightly wrapped around his body, even in the cold winter, he looks curvy, except for Second Sister Zhao, who else can it be?
