Chapter 619: Losing Money
Because of Ning Laosi's two hands, he directly suppressed the old immortals in the family behind Jones!
I didn't dare to attack Ning Laosi and Ning Mian'er easily, I was afraid that the fist of the Ning family's subordinates that could smash the boulder would hit their old bones.
Since you can't take it by force, you can only cooperate.
The temperament of the uncle and nephew of the Kening family is slippery and does not keep their hands, anyway, no matter who comes to deal with them, they will only smile and let them go to the sunspot.
Anyway, the meaning of the words is that the goods they will ship in the future will only do business with sunspots.
If they need it, they can go directly to Kuroko.
Kuroko, who learned the news, was half angry at first.
I think these old immortals are actually digging into his corner.
However, when he knew that Misinn had rejected them, his front teeth that were laughing almost fell off.
Kuroko was even more glad that he didn't have a single thought at the beginning, and he made a black hand to Misning.
Ning Laosi supports him so much, and Heizi naturally won't say anything and don't know what to do.
Therefore, in the following days, Ning Mian'er went to the mine again, and the workers and stewards in the mine also kept to themselves a lot.
And the speed of mining has also accelerated a lot.
When Ning Laosi and Ning Mian'er were about to leave, the gems, gold, and copper ore in the mine almost filled the cabin of an entire ship.
While Ning Mian'er was waiting for the things in the mine, Ning Laosi asked Heizi to be on their side, looking for some plants that the Great Jin Dynasty did not have.
After all, the cotton that Cheng'er brought back before was too useful for the Great Jin Dynasty!
But where is it so easy to find something special?
Someone muttered to the sunspot, saying that it was not easy to eat green vegetables after staying on the ship for too long.
Kuroko thought about it, so he got a basket of red rhizomes and green-leaved vegetables.
"Soak this rhizome in water, and if it is properly preserved, it should last for about a week."
"What's this called?"
Ning Laosi picked one up with some curiosity and looked over and over again, it seems that he has never seen this kind of dish in the Great Jin Dynasty.
"Hey, there's this."
Seeing that Ning Laosi was curious, Heizi took out a red fruit from under the basket.
"The green ones are called pineapples, and the red ones are called tomatoes.
On our side, most of the green pineapple is blanched and mixed with a little seasoning, and it is delicious.
Tomatoes, on the other hand, can be used to scramble eggs, can also be made into soups, and can also be boiled into a sauce and spread on bread.
The taste is sweet and sour, and it is very delicious. ”
Speaking of this, Kuroko swallowed his saliva.
"Of course, it's okay to eat it raw."
He was so greedy by what he said that he couldn't help but wipe the tomato in his hand on his clothes, and then took a bite of it.
This fruit called a tomato is bitten by a sunspot, and the thin skin is suddenly bitten open, and the sweet and sour fragrance spreads from the place where it was bitten.
Ning Laosi looked at it, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said to Heizi with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Brother Kuroko, but as you know, there are a lot of people on our ship.
I don't know if I can prepare more of these dishes, so that my brothers on the ship can taste them.
And of course, don't forget the seeds. ”
After speaking, Ning Laosi also reached out and took out a tomato in the basket, followed the example of a sunspot, wiped it casually, and then bit and ate it.
It's just that he didn't expect that there was so much juice in this tomato, and after taking a bite, it burst out directly, and his mouth was full of it.
Well, it tastes good.
I believe that if you bring it back, your mother will definitely like it.
Ning Pengpeng didn't know that the fourth child brought her spinach and tomatoes.
With these two things, there is one more option for the previous hot pot base.
You can also eat scalded spinach, and the taste is much better than just blanching it and mixing it with seasonings.
On the side of Saibei, Liu Hu's whole person was dark several times.
However, the spirit is much better than when I first arrived in Saibei.
"Third master, this time the cotton in our Zhuangzi will definitely be able to have tens of thousands of catties."
All the empty land in the two Zhuangzi was called by the surrounding villagers to plough it.
Then he planted all the cotton seeds brought by the county lord.
Liu Hu waited cautiously and went to the field every day to inspect carefully.
Eventually, white bags began to grow on the branches.
Liu Hu made a rough calculation, and with the cotton grown in the two Zhuangzi bought by the third master, the yield per mu was actually much higher than that in Nanyue Mansion.
Ning Laosan also asked Liu Hu what the yield of cotton per mu he planted in the Zhuangzi of Nanyue Mansion was.
Now, the Saibei side is actually better than the Nanyue Province side, how can it not make people happy?
"Third master, if these cotton are transported outside to be sold, they will definitely be sold at a high price."
Liu Hu thought that when the cotton was ripe, he had to pick it off quickly, and then ship it out to sell.
Ning Laosan shook his head when he heard Liu Hu say this.
"From now on, the cotton in our Zhuangzi will be supplied to the barracks."
Hearing this, Liu Hu's eyes suddenly widened, and he said with puzzlement.
"Third master, then we will lose a lot of silver!"
You must know that on the side of Saibei, the soldiers' salaries may not be paid on time.
Not to mention the supplies given to the soldiers every time they survive the winter.
The imperial court did not allocate much silver, so the generals mostly spent the silver on weapons.
Ordinary soldiers, very few of them have armor on their bodies.
Therefore, if the cotton is sold to the barracks, the original price of a pound of a few hundred wen is estimated to be only a few dozen wen per catty at most, and it is estimated that there is this price, so you have to snicker.
"If you can dress the soldiers warmly, so that if there is a foreign attack, our soldiers can guard the border pass well and protect all the people in Saibei and the Great Jin Dynasty."
Hearing Ning Laosan's words, Liu Hu was suddenly silent.
"Third master, I'm narrow-minded!"
Ning Laosan shook his hand and didn't blame him.
"Not only cotton, but also the grain, half of which was sold to the barracks.
The remaining half, let the third lady bring some back to the house.
The rest was left for the people in the Zhuangzi to eat.
If there is any number, it is stored in the treasury of Zhuangzi. ”
In this way, after deducting the taxes to be paid in the Zhuangzi, the remaining grain and cotton can almost be said to be left.
However, Ning Laosan believes that there are only two Zhuangzi this year, and there should be a few more next year.
When there are more Zhuangzi, when the time comes, cotton and grain will be planted, and I promise that there will be no leftovers.
Of course, in addition to these crops, Wang also let the people in Zhuangzi raise a lot of pigs, sheep, cows, chickens and ducks.
After all, on the side of Saibei, except for pigs, several other things only need to be released and raised.
Who let there be nothing here in Saibei, just a lot of grass!
Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
