Chapter 144: Why Do You Study?

The days in the village are really not as good as those in the city, Yun Duoduo met a lot of children running around and playing in the village along the way, and now it is freezing cold, and before it has completely warmed up, the children are running on the ground in shabby cloth shoes.

Yun Duoduo's face was not very good-looking, she remembered that when she was in Yunjia Village, she also had no shoes to wear, if it wasn't for her grandfather Jiang's family to take her in, she was afraid that she would have died of hunger. She sighed: "The life of the people is indeed very sad. ”

Yue Chang'an said: "This is not bad, Jiangzhou City is rich, rich in resources, and very peaceful, you don't know that to the north to the various families fighting for land, there are bandits and robbers, where the people are fierce, there are three times a year, three years of chaos, and the people are even more difficult than here." ”

Yun Duoduo stopped talking.

Because Yun Duoduo is a member of the Cui family, she once came to collect rent with Granny Cui, and went to her tenant farmer's house, and she was hospitalized.

Hearing that Yun Duoduo wanted to collect the dried sweet potato fries at home at a high price, everyone was stunned.

"Doesn't it mean that the people in Jiangzhou City don't like to eat?" A woman was surprised and said, "Who wants to eat steamed sweet potato fries if you have white rice to eat......

Yun Duoduo didn't explain much, but said, "Just sell it to me, and I'll take it to the city." ”

The woman of the family said, "That's okay, but the girl can't buy it all, you have to leave us some ......."

Yun Duoduo didn't react for a while.

Yue Chang'an said: "Sweet potato fries are cheaper than rice, but you can also fill your stomach, if you buy all the sweet potato fries, their family can only buy rice......

Yun Duoduo figured it out, so he explained to the villagers: "Naturally, I won't buy them all, and I can't use up all of them if I buy so much, now the price of rice in Jiangzhou is two pennies a catty, and I will pay half of the price of rice, and I will buy your sweet potato fries for a penny and a catty." Sell me as much as you can for your family......"

The price of one pound is very high. Because this sweet potato is difficult to preserve, it can only be cooked first and then steamed when it is dried and eaten, and the taste is actually much worse, and it is easy to spoil...... Many people's sweet potatoes are often left in a good harvest, and a lot of them are left uncooked and sunburned, which is more likely to spoil......

As long as the rice is not placed in a dark and damp place, it will be much easier to preserve, the insects and mildew can be controlled a little, and white rice is also better than sweet potatoes, so the price of rice on the market is many times more expensive than dry sweet potato fries.

The villagers must still have a lot of dried sweet potato fries in their homes, firstly, to avoid depletion, and secondly, last year's harvest was good......

Yun Duoduo can debut with so much money to buy sweet potato fries, everyone is happy to sell it to her, and after calculating the food stored at home, they try to sell it to her.

On this day, she and Yue Chang'an collected more than 1,000 catties of dried sweet potato fries, and only spent one or two silver.

And these dried sweet potato fries were taken to the city, fried and sold to those passing merchants and citizens who had spare money at home, Yun Duoduo roughly calculated, it could be sold for about forty or fifty taels of silver, plus the oil money and the wages for Sister Zhang, as well as the rent for the shop that went out to the Sun family, at least thirty taels of silver.

Yun Duoduo calculated this account and felt that it was too profitable. Thinking about how to expand this business, it is really productivity that is fundamental!

After receiving more than 1,000 catties of things at once, she couldn't transport them back.

When she came, she and Yue Chang'an rented a carriage from the city to send them here, but the roads in this village were not easy to walk, the carriage could not enter, and the coachman who pulled the cart could not run his own car in the village......

However, the enthusiastic villagers are very simple, and proposed that if Yun Duoduo can trust them, let them use the donkey in the village to drag things into the city, Yun Duoduo thought about it, and naturally agreed, and she brought back this thousand catties of things and there was no place to put them, the space in the shop was very small, and the family could not put it, so let the villagers store the things at home first, and whoever was free every ten days or so would send this thing to the shop, and she would give the foot money according to the sent.

Liang Qi's family, a family in the village, was short of money, and an old man was sick, so Yun Duoduo handed over the task of delivering things to his family.

Liang Qi was grateful, his family had some rations because of last year's good harvest, but after the old man was sick, the family had no money to treat the disease, and there was nothing to sell, so he thought about selling the cultivated cattle.

With this work, there will be hope for the future life of the family.

The business of the store is getting better and better, and Yun Duoduo found that people are more willing to eat sweet fries fried with dried sweet potato fries than fried fruits with flour, but the aroma of fried fruits wafts a little farther away.

So she asked Sister Zhang and Sister Tan in the shop to increase the amount of sweet potato fries and switch to less flour. In this way, the workload of Sister Zhang and Sister Tan is also a little smaller, and secondly, this flour is more expensive than sweet potato fries.

Her business here is booming, and when she turned around, she found that there were many fewer students at home......

At first, she thought that Sun Yan had hit them, but when she asked, she found out that several of them were going to get married!

Because when they first came, they were all thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, and they had been studying for more than a year, and many of them talked about their relatives and families at the beginning of spring!

"You're going to get married!" Yun Duoduo looked at the little girl in front of him in disbelief, her name is Su Nian, this girl is only fourteen years old this year! She learned very well, in more than a year and less than two years, she recognized a lot of words, and now she can basically write letters and keep accounts.

Being able to write letters and keep accounts is too important for a family.

"Yes, yes, I talked about people this month." The little girl's mother looked at Yun Duoduo gratefully, and gave her a bag of good tea and rice dumplings and pastries for happy events. This girl sent a large bag of tea, which shows that she is very hearted.

"What kind of family is it, and when will you get married?" Yun Duoduo asked.

The little girl was shy and did not speak, and her mother smiled: "It is a good family, thanks to sir, my girl can now read and write, and she has done a good job of needlework, and she has promised a good family, and she will not marry until next spring. ”

Yun Duoduo felt very sorry, but this girl always had to get married, so he gave her a silver ingot and blessed her.

In the evening, she asked Granny Cui, is this wedding dress so difficult to make? Do you want to do it for almost two years?

Granny Cui sighed and looked at her with pity: "It's really a poor child without a mother, I don't know this." ”

As he spoke, he explained to her: "When this ordinary family gets married, the wedding dress not only refers to the clothes worn on the body, but also brings it to the in-law's house. ”

"So much?" Yun Duoduo was surprised, "Two years to sew?" ”

Granny Cui said: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law each have ten pairs of new shoes, my sister-in-law and aunt have five pairs each, my aunt and aunt are also unique, and my uncle also needs five pairs." And the same goes for handkerchief belts. ”

Yun Duoduo was taken aback by this data: "So many! ”

Granny Cui said: "Naturally, the bride enters the house and accepts other people's things, so she has to admit that this is her own person." The rules cannot be abolished. ”

Yun Duoduo understood, this wedding dress turned out to be so much, if it was himself, just to accept the soles of his shoes, then his hands would have to be broken.

Granny Cui said again: "She has to make this wedding dress for two years, which shows that she is married to a large family, with a large population and many blessings." ”

Yun Duoduo thought about it, and inquired during the day, the student was married to a well-off family in the city, and the husband had three younger brothers and two sisters, and he was married to the eldest son, and he was the eldest daughter-in-law at the beginning. It's a blessing.

I also agreed with Granny Cui's words.

Su Nian's original family conditions were not good, and she lost her father at an early age, so it is difficult for such a girl to be said to be a good family, but because she has learned well, she is literate and hyphenated, and she is handsome and smart, so she is very good to marry.

In a few days, there were several fewer students in the family.

Yun Duoduo is a little uncomfortable.

Lazy Sheep said: "There are several students who have been out of school, why are you so unhappy?" ”

Yun Duoduo: "I'll tell you the truth, at their level, at most, they will graduate from the fifth grade of primary school, and they will only learn one language, if they learn some English, Japanese, and natural science, their comprehensive score will be at most the first grade of primary school......

Lazy Sheep smirked in her head: "But they are out of school." ”

"But their level ......" Yun Duoduo couldn't explain, "they are very poor learners." ”

"Enough is enough." Lazy Sheep took a bite of a lollipop, "You see, they have read, they can read, and now they are married and have a better life, which is enough, as for the rest...... Hosts, what do you expect from them? ”

Yun Duoduo: "Hey, I can only say, a little lost, look at these people, I taught them to read and write, and the fundamental goal of learning is to become a better marriage, what is this!" ”

"Host, what do you think is the purpose of learning?" Lazy Sheep looked at Yun Duoduo strangely.

Yun Duoduo said: "Of course, it is to learn knowledge, learning is a happy thing, it can enable us to gain knowledge, let us know a lot of truths, so that we can avoid being deceived by others, and we are also free from doing evil." Learning is not only about learning some cultural knowledge, but also about ideological knowledge......"

Lazy Sheep laughed: "Host, as far as I know, in your so-called modern society, there are still many women who think that high education is to marry a better man, and there are very few people who can really understand the joy of learning." ”

Yun Duoduo: "......"

I remembered what a roommate said when I was going to graduate school: "What do women do when they are admitted to graduate school, I can still marry a good one after graduating from 985, but after the graduate school entrance examination, I am old and can't get married......"

It can be said that it is very real and very heart-wrenching.

Lazy Sheep said: "Host, don't be so serious, the most important thing to be a person is to be happy, reading and studying, for most people, it is to make yourself better, not to make a revolution!" ”
