On sunny days one after another, the popsicle business should be in full swing, and when she went home and saw Aunt Zhang Qi's childhood, Ding Xuewei's first reaction was that something was wrong.

"It's okay, but someone started selling it, so let's sum it up and just retire." Aunt Zhang Qi'er explained.

It turned out that there was another team selling popsicles in the city early this morning, and the popsicles of this team were not only bigger than the people in the village, but also cheaper.

Although, the popsicle alone is tasteless, but it can't stand the price advantage of five pieces.

It is better for a family to eat one for each person than to watch one person eat.

"Their saltpeter was bought by Lu County, and when they went to Lu County, Lu County had only released the news of ice making not long ago, and the price of saltpeter had not risen much."

The original price of saltpeter is only more than 100 wen a catty, in addition to the loss of saltpeter and wood, it is manpower, the price of five wen, at least three wen profit.

In terms of individual profits, there is not much difference, but on the whole, the gap is large, and they sell a lot more than in the village!

"Your Uncle Qiao is also a bold master, found a problem, and after deciding, he went directly to their boss, and then pounded out the caramel at the original price..."

Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang Qi'er seemed to think of something about Coke, and smirked vigorously.

Uncle Zhang Qi waited tolerantly for a while and didn't see her relent, and then continued: "Your Uncle Qiao originally wanted to bring the peach jam back and go back to make peach water for the children to drink, but who knew that the boss actually asked, and when he asked, your Uncle Qiao also sold the peach jam, not only that, but also booked 5,000 catties out." The price of eight pounds. ”

The peaches in the village are cotton peach, the moisture is not heavy, one and a half catties of peaches can be boiled out of a catty of peach sauce, plus artificial, firewood, the cost of this catty of peach jam is only four cents.

During this time, the price of the peach is higher than in previous years, two dollars a catty!

was originally going to save it for the children, but now it has been sold for money, which can not make Aunt Zhang Qi'er happy!

"There are enough dried fruits to make, and it's a good thing that the remaining peaches can be sold."

"That's what everybody thinks." Zhang Qi nodded, turned around, he took out two purses, and handed one of them to her relatively small: "This is your bonus." ”

"Divided?" Ding Xuewei was not polite to him.

"It's divided, the first day sold less, earned a hundred and thirty taels, a family of two taels more, after the second day all fixed the amount, a family of six taels and five dollars, the next four days are all this number, a total of thirty-four taels and seven dollars."

"These days, saltpeter loss of nearly ten catties, originally, we were going to buy to make up, but the city ran all over the city and did not find it, in the end, according to the meaning of the Wu shopkeeper to make up the money, according to... The price he bought before made up for it! And the money of the peach sauce was summed up in the village, and there was no point. Speaking of shopkeeper Wu, Zhang Qi was grateful and sorry with a face.

That is, because they don't want to delay others for too long, they will end the business so decisively.

"Xue Wei, we won't do Xue'er's business, can you go back and hand it over to Shopkeeper Wu?" Zhang Qi asked nervously.

They all returned the saltpeter, what else could she say no?

Ding Xue nodded slightly, as for the love of the shopkeeper Wu, naturally she didn't need to say anything.

As soon as he looked at the broken silver, he knew that the loss did not let him out, Ding Xuewei didn't say anything, and naturally put away his purse with a natural expression.

"This is the money you lent before." Zhang Qi restrained his mind and presented the big purse containing the capital, which was Ding Xuewei's.

No matter how good the idea is, you have to have the capital, and if you can take out 20,000 taels for them to hoard sugar at once, it is the little girl in front of you.

She didn't hesitate to take out 20,000 taels, and the village didn't dare to insult her with silver, and the money in this purse was not much.

"The village chief knows that you are busy, so let me return the money to you first."

Ding Xuewei was not hypocritical, and counted the silver tickets in front of the four members of the Zhang family: "Start making sauce tomorrow?" ”

"I decided to do it the day after tomorrow." Zhang Qi gave her a self-experienced look.

Ding Xue nodded slightly: "There are a lot of people in Ming'er, and I really need a lot of help." ”

I cooked a lot of peach jam before, and I picked almost everything that was ripening at that time.

The weather is hot these days, and the peaches should have ripened faster, but the rest are the last fruits, not only the size of the head is not comparable to the first batch, but the maturity can not be compared.

If she needs help, there is no need for Ding Xuewei to say that another reason why she will stop her business so decisively today is that she will receive her in the village tomorrow!

Early the next morning, when she and the Zhang family arrived in front of the wooden house, everyone in the village had basically arrived.

Li Shi, who found that the situation was not right, heard that he was going to entertain the squires in the city today, and immediately raised her shelf and called everyone around.

Compared with before, she is no different now, but if you look carefully at her eyebrows, you can find that she shows a trace of kindness to Ding Xuewei.

This is to find that the two daughters-in-law are actually the most unreliable, to win her over... Hey ~ naïve!

Someone shows the bearing of being a housewife, Ding Xuewei naturally can't be angry with others, and she will hand it over to her.

When the first guests arrived, Ding Xuewei followed in the footsteps of An He and Old Man Ding, and then the crowd gathered more and more.

After touring the entire high-yielding crop area, the crowd gathered in the sweet potato fields.

The five acres of sweet potatoes that were cut in early March have been excavated and cleaned up and weighed well.

"How much?" The prefect Tang Ming asked like the official in charge of excavating the records.

The official replied loudly: "Lord Qiyu, at present, a total of five acres have been excavated, which are 8,244, 8,676, 9,437, 8,093, 7,996, and finally, 7,996 acres have some deficiencies in the previous excavation. ”

Five acres, and the harvest of each acre has exceeded previous expectations.

Not to mention that the first time I heard about the yield of sweet potatoes, it was the prefect who had already known it in his heart, Ding Xuewei and others couldn't help but be surprised.

——

"It can't be!"

——

"How is that possible!"

——

"At least nearly eight thousand!"

——

"Are my ears forked, I can't hear clearly, how can I hear eight thousand, nine thousand, seven thousand?"

——

"Thousands of catties, not to mention high, is a penny and a catty, this is eight taels of silver, if you can harvest it again in the spring, even if it is only half, the value of a year's mu is about twelve taels!"

——

"Twelve taels, what kind of astronomical number is this, this is impossible, absolutely impossible, it must be mistaken, it must be mistaken, it can't be so many, absolutely, absolutely there can be so many!"

After the silence, a series of disbelief and suspicion erupted, and the crowd who had been extremely interested in the high-yielding crop of sweet potatoes distributed doubtful voices.

A roar every day, begging for tickets, asking for collections...
