The storage rooms of the Zhang family and the Zheng family were dug very deep, and the water was bubbling up. Fortunately, the direction of the tunnel is to the back mountain, so the low-lying place is specially dug to store water in the underground well, and the storage room is built on a slightly higher mountain, no, it is under the mountain, and the final exit of the tunnel is also on the mountain, hidden and ventilated, so the storage room is not so humid, it is cold inside, and the temperature is very low.

If it weren't for this groundwater trouble, the two families would not have been digging for more than a month.

Chrysanthemum also came down to see the excitement, wearing a //// mask and a hat.

She saw that under the faint light, the underground water well was shining with sparkling waves, and where the water was shallow by the well, a few green lotus flowers were stretched, and a pink lotus flower stood quietly, quiet and mysterious; There are also a few clumps of calamus that are also green and oily, straight to the sky.

This is what she had nothing to do, let the locust seed plant, and even put some small fish in the well.

She's purely for fun. In this underground, where there is no light of day, all ordinary things seem very mysterious, quite legendary and mysterious. Not to mention anything else, the well water, cold and clear, more piercing than her well's water, sometimes she takes chilled fruits and vegetables in the summer, which is similar to the refrigerator. I don't know if the fish in the well will taste more delicious after being raised for a long time.

She looked at it for a while, then turned around and walked up, came to the storage room, and said to Huaizi in a muffled voice: "Let's simply dig an underground river ditch and go all the way to the Xiaoqing River in front of the door, then there will be a place for the groundwater." ”

Everyone thought it was a good idea, Zheng Changhe and Zhang Dazhuan laughed, and they dug it slowly, and the others only did their own business.

Aoki said: "It's to lead to a 451-chapter speculation about the dark river." Although there is water underground, it is very cold, so there is no moisture, and it is a good place to hide things. Slowly repaired. Maybe it will come in handy in the future. ”

Huaizi said: "Isn't this going to come in handy?" Putting the chili pepper on top, it is easy for people to find out that this method is not very difficult, and it is not cheap to keep it secret. If it gets out. I can make some money in the first year, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in the future. ”

The crowd was silent.

Chrysanthemum sighed, after all, it is a small business, don't look at them so busy that they can only earn a few hundred taels of silver if they collect 20,000 catties of chili peppers. Of course, this is compared to the previous business. It's already a windfall.

Take your time, and hopefully this won't be leaked so quickly.

This is an authentic rural method, not a scientific method, which she saw at her grandmother's house in her previous life.

Grandma just used a mat in the corner of the kitchen to enclose a small space, poured a few handfuls of grass ash into it, buried dozens of catties of chili peppers with grass ash, and then took it out to eat in winter, it was very fresh. Chinese New Year. The relatives ate the fresh chili fried dried tofu and were amazed.

This pepper can't be picked early, and it needs to wait for the beginning of autumn. I don't know if it's the weather or the chili peppers.

It's just very strange, but no one thinks of using this method to make money, and even the people in the village will not follow suit, at most they will say "I will bury some next year", and I may forget it next year, and at most I remember it is just a basket of burials.

It is not so easy to reverse the ideological concept of the small-scale peasant economy, otherwise, during the reform and opening up, a certain great figure would not have drawn a circle in the south first. It's a little bit of a face.

When Chrysanthemum saw the chili pepper, sometimes she remembered it, and sometimes she forgot it, and when she had a flash of inspiration that day, she remembered this method.

The people of Qingnan Village were puzzled when they saw that the two families were open to harvest chili peppers. What fresh pickles did the heart chrysanthemum come up with?

Even Shopkeeper Song couldn't figure it out.

Naturally, some people will use words to protect, and some people will simply come to the door to see what is going on. These people don't all want to take advantage, but they are just curious, and the countrymen don't understand so much subtlety, so they want to understand, otherwise they feel uncomfortable like a cat scratching.

Of course, the two families will not speak, but they will know in a few days.

Of course, the person who asked was not happy, muttered "How rare" and left, and then said that their family members were all Shinto.

Although the people of Qingnan Village are suspicious, they are also happy to be able to sell the chili peppers for more money. Originally, the peppers after autumn were picked one stubble and one less stubble, but now in order to sell more, every household watered the dung and weeds, and served them carefully, and the yield was much more than usual.

While he was busy, he couldn't stop muttering about the Zhang family's gossip.

Li Gengtian knew that it must be the chrysanthemum that had come up with some tricks, and he didn't tell his family about it, but now his family is not short of money.

On this day, his third uncle Li Mingtang came to his father Li Mingrui to gossip, and several old people sat and laughed under the osmanthus tree, and he also listened to it, and interjected a sentence from time to time.

His daughter-in-law Fang took a few mothers-in-law, picked five baskets of chili peppers with four baskets, red and green, and saw that Li Changyu was back, so he asked him to arrange for someone to go to Zhang's house to sell chili peppers.

Li Changyu sat on the stump under the osmanthus tree, stretched his legs, and said with a smile: "Mother, these baskets of chili peppers can't be sold for a few dollars, keep them for your own food, and run away." ”

Fang Shi glanced at him and said, "You are so rich!" Don't look down on these pennies, do you? I don't know which one it was at the beginning, selling hot and sour vermicelli bowl by bowl......"

Li Changyu hurriedly interrupted her and said, "I'm going to sell, can't I ask someone to sell?" Mother, don't turn over that old saying. When did I lose that penny? It's just that I think we have a lot of family, so we always have to keep more of these dishes. ”

Everyone laughed.

Seeing his youngest son's embarrassed appearance, Fang no longer laughed at him, and explained, "This is something that can't be eaten. Since the Zhang family accepts this, it must be of great use, and we are not only for money, but also to help them. Otherwise, if you pickle a lot of chili peppers, you won't be able to eat them until next year, so you still give them away. ”

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, and Li Mingtang was not happy, because the Fang family sent him the most every year.

Li Gengtian also said: "Yes, Huaizi accepts this, and we will sell more to him." The more people in the village sell, and it also saves them from running away - I saw that Aoki also took people to distant villages to collect miles. Damn, there will be a lot of chili peppers in the future, and they will all be sold to Huaizi, anyway, the two of them are in partnership. ”

Fang nodded and said, "That's what I thought. Let people turn over the pepper field again, water fertilizer, and in two days they can pick another stubble, and they always have to pick a lot. ”

When Li Changyu heard this, he also came to his senses, and hurriedly greeted the five sons of Changsui: "Five sons, you and six catties send this chili pepper to Zhang's house." Don't be verbose, weigh how much is what, and say what the price is. Ask Huaizi again: Is there anything you want me to help with, just ask. ”

The fifth son answered loudly, and the other two servants threaded the bamboo basket with a rope, picked up a load and a basket, and sent it to the side of the mountain.

Outside the hospital, a daughter-in-law picked two baskets of chili peppers to sell, passed by Li's house, stopped to greet Fang's family, and asked her if she had picked the chili peppers and if she wanted to sell them together.

Fang's family said loudly that her five sons had already been picked and sold, and the daughter-in-law just went.

Everyone here speculated about what the Zhang family was doing with these many chili peppers, and they had no clue, so they became more and more anxious.

Gao's Wan'er came out with her maid and mother-in-law carrying Li Jingxian, and Li Changyu immediately happily picked up her son and teased him.

Li Mingtang snorted angrily and said how stingy the Zhang family was, hiding their heads and shrinking their tails, "as if they were afraid of people getting involved." ”

Another old man sighed and said, "The long river and the big bolt are too careful. Isn't it just chili peppers, every family has them, how much money can they make? Just told people, everyone can only thank him, and it is too unkind to cover it up. ”

"It's all from a village, and I don't tell anyone about pickles. When you have money, people change, and this is not the case with the usual big bolts and long rivers. ”

Li Mingrui closed his eyes and was silent at first, and then simply hugged his great-grandson and teased the little baby.

Li Changyu listened to what they said, which meant that no matter what way the Zhang family had to make a fortune, they should say it, and the rich people would make it together, and he couldn't help but laugh angrily, and said in his heart, strange Aoki and Huaizi were cold-hearted, look at these old things, the co-authors should help them.

He couldn't compare to his grandfather's deep thoughts, and he couldn't help but shout: "Third grandfather! You are my third grandfather, not the third grandfather of Huaizi. Why did he tell you this? ”

He thought to himself, even if you are my third grandfather, I will not tell you if I have a way to make a fortune, these are two different things.

Gao didn't know what was going on, so he was confused and asked in surprise, "How can you tell people the trick of this business?" So how else to make money? Like my family, the tea making method is kept secret. Once, a subordinate accidentally slipped his mouth and told my father to beat me up. ”

Li Mingtang listened, his beard shook, and said: "Of course your family makes tea, of course......

Li Changyu said: "What's the difference, isn't it all used to make money?" Besides, didn't the Zheng family have a good way to tell everyone, and the whole village also ran a workshop together. As a result, it didn't fall well, and relatives came to school and asked people to make irresponsible comments. If it were me, I would be cold. No one is a fool. Hehe, now the Fang family is making a lot of money. ”

Li Mingtang's old face turned red, and the other old men didn't speak, but they still looked unconvinced.

Li Gengtian glared at his son and said, "People don't steal, they don't rob, they spend money to buy chili peppers, and it's his own business to do whatever he wants." If he doesn't want to say, he doesn't want to ask. Try not to come to the door these days, so as not to be misunderstood by others, thinking that you are there to inquire about the news. ”

Wan'er grinned and said, "I originally wanted to take Brother Xian'er to find chrysanthemums to play in the past two days, isn't it inconvenient?" ”

Fang Shi hurriedly said: "Don't go, otherwise it's not good to make trouble." Brother Xian'er is still young, when he will leave, you can take it to play with chrysanthemums. ”

Wan'er nodded, and seeing that the old men's faces were wrong, she hurriedly pulled Li Changyu back to the inner courtyard.

Li Mingrui squinted at the third brother and sneered in his heart: The Zheng family took everyone to do it together, but these people didn't know what to do, and thought it was right, but now that people don't pay attention to you, they feel upset, right? When someone is your good grandson, go back and let you take care of it?
