Chapter 487: Birthday Greetings
I washed up and rested that night, and didn't say anything all night.
Early the next morning, Mei Niang ordered people to inquire about the details of Pingcheng, and invited the shopkeeper to talk.
With such a female high-roller, the shopkeeper naturally did not dare to slack off. It's just something that the beautiful girl wants to inquire, but it makes him a little confused by the second monk.
"A big local grain grower?"
Do you think that this beautiful and heroic young lady is going to do a big business, which is actually food?
But this, it's not that it's not unprofitable, I'm afraid it's a little difficult.
The shopkeeper's suggestion was quite kind, "The young lady doesn't think about anything else?" Our silk fat powder in Pingcheng is very famous......"
The beautiful lady smiled, "I know, but I just want to inquire about your grain planting and selling." In the past, I often heard that people are familiar with Jiangnan and the world is full. In some places, the grain can even be harvested twice a year, but whose fields are they? ”
Seeing that she is really interested, the shopkeeper is only 1510.
Two crops a year, in fact, some big words.
Yes, but only a few areas to the south. Most of the rest of the fields can only grow one season of grain.
Because there are many kinds of rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the draft is extremely heavy. And the fields that have just been planted must be planted again within a year, and the land cannot rest and grow, and the fertility will not be enough.
It was forcibly planted, and the flowers worked the same, the yield was not high, and it hurt the fields, so most of them did not plant like this.
However, after the rice is harvested, many families will take advantage of the warm weather to fertilize the fields with a variety of soybeans. Either plant vegetables and radishes, and wait until the frost is very sweet.
It's appropriate to say that there are two seasons a year.
However, some large families have fertile land, but they can have three kinds of land in two years.
It is to plant another crop of wheat after the rice is harvested. Wait until the wheat is ripe in April and May of the following year, and then plant rice, which is counted as two crops in three years.
Oh!
The beautiful girl was stunned.
The shopkeeper told her, "Because the fields in Jiangnan are fertile, most of them are in the hands of the family." What the people have is only a few fragments of scattered fields handed down by their ancestors, just for subsistence. If the young lady wants to do the grain business, she can only go to the family to buy it. Only each of them has its own grain store, and there is a fixed number of how many years of business it has done. I'm afraid that the young lady, who is a newcomer, will not be able to intervene. The villain just reminded a few words, and asked the young lady not to be surprised. ”
No blame, no blame.
The beautiful girl also specially took two toothbrush and tooth powder sets to give him, and he was afraid that the shopkeeper would not know, but who knew that he was very happy when he saw it.
"It's a real deal. I was already ashamed to take a set, and I really didn't dare to be greedy. ”
The beautiful lady was curious, "Do you also have these for sale here?" ”
Absolutely!
It's just expensive.
I haven't seen the affordable version, and no one is embarrassed to use it when I see it. After all, I know that it is only a few pennies, and I can make something at home, who is embarrassed to buy it? If you show it to your neighbors, you're afraid you'll laugh at it.
So what can be seen on the market, the cheapest is the set version of the beautiful girl, which also costs a lot of money.
The consumption power of this flat city is really strong!
Maybe they will be able to ponder this in the future.
The beautiful girl was thoughtful, and gave these two sets to the shopkeeper more and more generously.
The shopkeeper was naturally grateful, and served more and more diligently.
Going back and waiting for the people sent out by the beautiful lady to come back one after another, the situation they heard was similar to what the shopkeeper said.
It is not only flat land, but the fertile land of the entire south of the Yangtze River, most of which are concentrated in the hands of a few families.
And most of these families are in Pingcheng.
is like Yu Liang's hometown, and he is also one of the ten families in Pingcheng.
"Wait!"
Meiniang hurriedly asked, "Which one is headed by Pingcheng or Jiangnan?" It can't still be the Yu family, right? ”
If that's the case, she doesn't need to talk about it, she can just go home.
Not really.
"I heard that the leader is the Shi family, who opened Lingshan Academy!"
The Shi family?
"It's a pity that the elders of the Shi family, in addition to being invited to teach and educate people by academies in various places, only love to travel in the mountains and rivers and write travelogues. I heard that the person in charge of the Shi family is a young junior, known as "Shi Jiulang, who is also tempted by the gods when they see it".
It is said that he was a child prodigy, and he was born at the age of seven. I was about to take the Xiucai exam, and I didn't want to break my leg and become disabled. Everyone in the city said that he was born too well, so he was jealous. ”
"Do you believe that?"
The beautiful girl absolutely does not believe it.
If you want to say that the best born in this world is His Royal Highness the King of Han, father and son. Didn't you see them jealous?
People are also very lucky, and they sit on the dragon chair by brushing their faces.
However, it seems that when it comes to food, we must find a way to get in touch with the Shi family. But how inappropriate is it to come to the door for no reason?
The beautiful lady thought about it and asked, "Then there are happy events in the big families in the city recently?" For example, whoever gets married, who has a child, even if it is mourning. ”
As long as there is such a thing, the Shi family will definitely send someone over. As long as someone goes, they can get acquainted, and the beautiful lady will come to the door with a cheeky face.
Xiao Li, the guard who was in charge of inquiring about the news, looked embarrassed, "This ...... It's a big event. The day after tomorrow will be the ninetieth birthday of Mrs. Yu. Yes, it is the grandmother of Lord Yu Liangyu. ”
Ha!
The beautiful lady is happy, this is just the right time.
Her black eyes flashed slightly, and she had an idea.
On September 12, Chongyang has just passed.
There is still a festival in the city, and the Yu family in Pingcheng holds a banquet to celebrate the ninetieth birthday of Mrs. Yu.
Although the Yu family has not had a good reputation in recent years, many people still look at the deceased old lady Yu and come to congratulate him.
When the Yu family, who greeted them in front of the mansion, saw that the highest-ranking civil and military officials in the local government came to congratulate them in person, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
People live with a face, and trees live with a skin.
If these Pingcheng leaders don't come today, then the Yu family will be embarrassed and embarrassed, and they don't know how to be cheap when they turn around.
Seeing that it was almost noon, the guests were almost here, and it was time for the feast. Several old and young masters of the Yu family, who greeted guests at the gate of the mansion, planned to go back to the house to continue to greet guests.
At this time, a light oil car came.
The carriage looks inconspicuous, but the horse pulling the carriage is really a miracle.
The Yu family is not such an uninformed inferior family, and it can be seen at a glance that if this horse is in the market, it will definitely be worth thousands of gold. Those who can afford such a good horse-drawn carriage must not be ordinary people.
And the horseman who drove the car was magnificent, and he was not like an ordinary subordinate, but he had a bit of military spirit.
Therefore, a young master of the Yu family immediately stepped forward with a smile, "I don't know which distinguished guest has visited, and he has missed the welcome." Disrespectful, disrespectful! ”
The carriage stopped, put down the small ladder, pushed the door open, and a pair of maids came out first, but they were ordinary and unremarkable.
This young master of the Yu family was surprised in his heart, secretly thinking that a person who could afford such a good horse, how could he use such an ordinary maid?
But suddenly I felt that my eyes lit up, and after the two maids got out of the car, they actually helped a very beautiful woman and walked out.
