Chapter 204: Plans to grow medicinal herbs
In the end, Liu Yiyu calculated everything, and all the silver coins in his house added up, there were eighty-five taels of silver and seven hanging coins.
"Eldest sister, how much money has our family made this year." The sixth sister saw that her eldest sister had calculated the account book and closed the account book, the sixth sister looked at Liu Yiyu with bright eyes and asked.
"A lot, more than I and you think?" Liu Yiyu said mysteriously.
I didn't tell my siblings the exact amount of money, so they could guess.
"Eldest sister, is there any fifty taels of silver?" The second sister said hurriedly.
"It's definitely more than that, the business in our town is very good, I'm afraid it's sixty taels of silver, eldest sister, do you think I'm right?" At this time, the fourth sister refuted the second sister's words and asked Liu Yiyu.
"I guessed wrong, what about more than eighty taels of silver?"
"What so much". After hearing this number, the Liu Li family, including the sisters and brothers of the Liu family, opened their mouths one by one in surprise.
Immediately, they reacted, and they were very happy.
This year is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Liu family is happy to have a good year.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, after the vigil, it is time to come.
Zhou Hao led his family, Zhang Cheng's mother and son, and Huang Qing and his wife to pay New Year's greetings to the main family.
A group of people knelt down and kowtowed to the Liu family to see the main family.
Liu Yiyu hurriedly helped them up.
Zhou Hao insisted, "Say, the master is the master, the servant is the servant, you can't mess with the rules, and you just refuse to get up."
Zhou Hao and the others kowtowed to the people sitting in the Liu family, and one of them said a few auspicious words.
It seems that Zhou Hao's family was a servant in a big family earlier, and the consciousness of master and servant is already deep in the bones, although everyone in the Liu family is kind-hearted, Zhou Hao does not distinguish between respect and inferiority, and makes Qiao a demon.
During the New Year, Zhou Hao and the others kowtowed to the main family, and after saying auspicious words, Liu Yiyu told them all to get up.
One by one, they stood with their heads hung down, listening to the Lord's teachings, and then the reward was given.
Liu Yiyu motioned to Liu Li to say a few words at will, after Liu Li didn't know what to say, Liu Yiyu took a few steps forward and said, "You sold yourself to my house, you have been here for a long time, and now it has been more than a year, and if you are shorter, there are three or four months, as long as you do things well, honestly, and peacefully, our family will naturally not treat you badly, if not, your deed of sale is in the hands of my family after all."
"Yes, yes, yes". Zhou Hao and the others hurriedly responded.
In the end, Liu Yiyu gave Liu Li a look, signaling that he could reward everyone.
This year, his family made a lot of money, among which Zhou Hao and the three of them contributed a lot, and Liu Yiyu asked Liu Li to give each of them a reward of two hanging money, even the grandmother of the Zhou family and Zhou Wenwu.
They received the money, and after weighing it a few times in their hands, they all knew in their hearts that after the main family gave each person two hangings of money for the New Year, they smiled happily one by one, and bowed down one by one to thank Liu Li who was sitting on the main seat.
After the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Liu family reopened the noodle restaurant in the town, and the second sister didn't have to cook, plus now they don't catch birds and fish with ice, so the Liu family suddenly freed up manpower.
On this day, Liu Yiyu did not go to the town to help, but sat alone in his own embroidery building, writing and painting, and then thinking about something.
At this time, the fifth brother was looking for Liu Yiyu to go to the hall for dinner and shouted, "Sister, it's time for dinner, what are you doing?" ”。
"Is it the fifth brother? You sit, the eldest sister has something to say to you." Liu Yiyu looked at the sky outside, it was not early, Liu Yiyu patted the empty chair beside him, and asked Liu Yihao to sit down.
"Eldest sister, what's the matter, you say, I'm listening?" Liu Yihao sat down and said.
"Fifth brother, you have also been learning things with our master for two years, you should have learned a lot of things, do you know how to plant Codonopsis."
"Some typhoid fever and minor diseases, small fights, the fifth brother will do it, as for some more in-depth things, our master has just started to teach me, and the fifth brother still has to learn from our master.
As for the cultivation and processing of Codonopsis and some medicinal herbs, the fifth brother understands it, eldest sister, if you want to plant Codonopsis, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Why is that?" Hearing the fifth brother say that he couldn't grow Codonopsis at home, Liu Yiyu asked a little strangely.
"Although Codonopsis is more adaptable, it prefers mild and cool climates. Different growth periods have different requirements for moisture, temperature, and sunlight, as well as 4-5 years for the harvest period of Codonopsis codonopsis planting, and 3-4 years for seedling transplanting, in which the growth time is too long, and the risk is also taken.
In case something goes wrong, the past few years have been wasted, and a lot of silver has to be invested, and it will take four or five years to be able to return to the capital, and to be able to return to the capital and make money, which is a great joy. ”。 Yoo Yihao explained.
"It's so difficult to plant Codonopsis, that's it, the eldest sister knows, but our family doesn't necessarily want to plant Codonopsis ginseng, fifth brother, think about it carefully, is there that kind of tonic precious medicinal materials, which can be sold at a high price, and can be harvested in a year, and are also easier to feed.
Fifth brother, the eldest sister is also to be honest, our family is now on the shopkeeper's silver, our family still has more than 30 taels of silver left, the eldest sister has been thinking about it these days, these 30 taels of silver will buy a large piece of wasteland, fence it up, pondering the matter of planting medicinal materials, after all, you and our master have learned these things, you carefully ponder, our family planted those medicinal materials better, the eldest sister will check for you on the side."
"This ....., eldest sister, your idea is feasible, but this matter, you have to let the fifth brother think about it, by the way, you have to let our master take the idea, after all, our master has been doing these things for decades, and our master is experienced, but it is not comparable to the fifth brother." After Liu Yihao heard his eldest sister's idea, Liu Yihao's eyes lit up, but after Liu Yihao pondered for a while, he couldn't hold his mind.
"Nacheng, you think slowly, but these things can't be rushed, but since our family plans to do this thing, we will buy a few pieces of wasteland around our house first."
"Eldest sister, this matter is not urgent for the time being, in case the matter of planting medicinal herbs does not work, it is useless for our family to buy wasteland?"
"Fifth brother, don't panic, the eldest sister has other plans, our family is now planting vegetables in greenhouses, the land is too small, they are all petty fights, now our family has money, the eldest sister plans to expand the greenhouse to plant vegetables this year, and the matter of buying land is already without delay."
