Chapter 213: Zhou Shanchang 3
Food is expensive, and no one experiments.
Who would have thought that it would be so cold in winter and still give out bean sprouts. The ingots sent out bean sprouts, and Changming was surprised to see it.
Now there is no shortage of money, but there is no need to send bean sprouts to sell.
Selling bean sprouts in winter is a tiring job. Not only do you have to carefully send bean sprouts, but you also have to sell bean sprouts in cold weather.
If you have money, don't earn this hard-earned money.
After all, thousands of taels of silver came at once, and now I'm really not in a hurry!
Changming took the time to go to the academy to inquire, and Zhou Shanchang had only been back in the city for a day. You can meet it a little earlier.
After thinking about it, the bean sprouts will be able to eat soon, Changming raises fish with water, waits for the bean sprouts to be harvested, grows long and tender bean sprouts, packs up half a frame of bean sprouts, and takes two big fish into the city.
The two rented the ox cart of the villagers and paid 30 yuan a day for each round trip. As soon as I left the entrance of the village, I saw many adults lighting braziers at the mouth of the river and standing in the hole on the river to catch fish. Children are running and jumping happily on the river.
The winter in Licheng is colder than in my hometown, and the ice on the river is very thick.
The hole where the people in the village fished fish was still poked open by ingots. The villagers were afraid that the entrance to the cave would be sealed, so they lit a small brazier so that they wouldn't open it again when they came. Not everyone has the strength to break the ice.
The fish that are fished out are counted by each family, and a few people eat the fish, and most of them accumulate and sell them in the market.
Yuan Bao didn't say anything when he saw the people in the village like this.
It's good not to call ingots to fish. The river passed through the village, and the domineering village chief saw a person with a foreign surname catching fish, and he had to give money for the fish. Don't ask why you know, it's because ingots have seen it with their own eyes.
The winter is cold, and the liveliness of Licheng is not affected. It's still bustling and lively.
Yuan Bao paid the entrance fee to the city, and also paid 20 wen to the guards at the city gate as supervision money to watch the cattle, and the two went straight to Zhou Shanchang's house.
To make the fish fresher, bring a wooden bucket filled with water. There are two fish, almost six or seven catties. Buckets and water combined are much heavier than fish. Changming is with a boy, and he can't go far with a bucket.
You have to get the ingots out of the horse.
Zhou Shanchang's family is quite rich. It can be seen from the fact that there is a set of three-entry courtyards in Licheng. This courtyard will cost at least a few thousand taels of silver to get it, and the premise is that there is still a way.
The uncle who opened the door was afraid that he would see many students who came to ask for advice, and asked Changming if he was a student of Qingcheng Academy, so he directly introduced the door to a small living room and waited. Before entering the room, Changming was startled, there were already four or five people in the living room.
These people were holding books, their heads shaking, and their mouths were babbling, as if they were reciting books.
Changming sighed: It's really hard!
Hurry up for that little time.
At this time, the ingots carried the bucket, and the concierge led the way to the kitchen to put fish and bean sprouts. The sister-in-law in the kitchen said with a smile when she saw the bean sprouts.
"Bean sprouts can still be sent out on such a cold day! How did this come about? ”
"Our family sent it ourselves, and I sent it to the mountain chief to try it."
The kitchen sister-in-law said.
"What a heart! Mr. and Mrs. have lost their appetite these days, but I am saddened to death. With bean sprouts, you're sure to be able to eat more. This winter is either sauerkraut or cabbage radish, and the rest is all meat. No fresh vegetables at all. Your bean sprouts are just in time for the rain. ”
At this time, the rich and noble families had a kind of out-of-season vegetables. But it was carefully bred and bred. And it doesn't grow well.
The technique of out-of-season vegetables is not mature. Larger hot springs grow winter vegetables. People who can have hot springs have good family conditions, and it is not enough to grow them and eat them themselves, so don't think that they can sell them.
