Chapter 90: The Money Cow
Early the next morning.
Before Zhou Qi opened his eyes, he felt something abnormal somewhere in his body, and Su Ling seemed to be tireless......
Judging from this situation, maybe I can really hold a baby this year!
It's hard to toss ......
Su Ling twisted his waist and went out of the house first, and went to have breakfast with Zhao Cuihua, while Zhao Xiaoyu also prepared the toiletries for the whole family, and Qing Leng was supervising Wu Zhitao's training......
This is still Wu Zhitao's death begging for Bai Lai to grind to the cold to open a small stove for her, otherwise according to their training time, it will generally be after breakfast.
Regarding Wu Zhitao's behavior, Zhou Qi expressed his understanding.
Yesterday's county test list finally calmed down, according to convention, the next thing is the government test, which is known as the autumn season, and the time is set for August.
For Zhou Qi, the time is slightly longer.
But for the women in the house, it's a tight schedule.
"Son, do you want to put the business in the city aside?"
Shinong industry and commerce, the hierarchy is obvious.
Before Zhou Qi was in business, he made money.
In addition, Zhao Cuihua is basically hopeless about his son's imperial examination, as long as no one mentions her, she will no longer ask.
But now the situation is different, she would rather go back to gnaw on the wild vegetable stalks, but also let her son be admitted to the fame, but she can't let the business in the city delay her career!
At the end, she added: "During this time, why don't you study hard at home, or go to the grass school in the next village to study?" ……”
Zhou Qi was amused by his old mother, just that grass school, I'm afraid it won't be useful if I study it for ten years!
However, he didn't say anything, and drank the meat porridge in the bowl before he spoke: "Don't worry, I will arrange this matter properly." ”
If you want to talk about the prefectural exam, it will be much more difficult than the county exam.
In Zhou Qi's memory, how many famous talents were there in ancient times, and they didn't get admitted to the show when they were seventy or eighty!
He didn't dare to hold it up again this time, just by looking at the pile of broken books of the original owner, it would definitely not work, but let him let go of the things in the city, because of the salt number, he can't let it go now!
What's more, Uncle Zhou's words yesterday are still in my ears......
Some people say that if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.
He can't help the world at the same time, but the villagers have always treated him well......
Especially Uncle Zhou, he is still willing to find a way to live for his family!
In this case, it is even more impossible to nest in the village.
Why don't you take a good look, is there any way to get the best of both worlds?
After breakfast, it's time to leave.
But today, the salt is still miserable, and there is not even a guest officer who enters the door.
He simply closed the door and went up to the city to wander around.
Finally, I bought some fruit tree saplings from the market and returned to the village at noon.
This made Uncle Zhou look confused again.
But without waiting for him to ask, Zhou Qi explained first.
"Recently, there is no shortage of guys in this city, if Zhou Liang doesn't dislike it, help me plant some fruit trees in the back mountain, as long as I plant it well, I will also give fifty copper plates a month, okay?"
"You're a peach sapling, aren't you? What are you doing with this? Uncle Zhou asked.
"You don't care about this, in short, this kind of tree does not delay farming, Zhou Liang, this young man is also good at it, it is much better than being a guy in the city!"
Uncle Zhou lost his temper when he heard this, anyway, he didn't think much about it.
But after all, this kid grew up under his watch, and now he is helping his family so much, he still has to ask: "Don't you want to plant this mountain peach tree to sell it?" ”
Zhou Qi didn't think about this.
According to his thoughts, this old mother Zhao Cuihua is also unwilling to move to the city, and she wants to stay in this village for a long time, so it is better to engage in some three-dimensional breeding......
For example, now there are a bunch of chickens and ducks at home, and Aunt Wang already has a pig shed, now add some fruit trees, and then design the small mud house of the Zhou family when the sky is free, and when she is old, the daughter-in-law upstairs is to enjoy the idyllic scenery!
And Uncle Zhou saw that he didn't respond, so he took it seriously, and his face suddenly lost color.
"Zhou boy, I don't think this is going to work!"
"This mountain peach is small and thick, just the few scattered peach trees in the back mountain, when there was a famine in the early years, everyone picked the fruit to eat, it is a wild fruit, even if the grain is levied, the government does not take it, that is, some rich and noble people buy some seedlings and plant them in the yard to see, this fruit is not valuable!"
Well?
The government doesn't accept this peach?
That's a good dare!
Zhou Qi smiled and said nothing, so he responded: "Then let's also learn from the rich and noble, and plant it on the mountain to take a look!" ”
When Uncle Zhou heard this, he suddenly didn't know what to feel in his heart!
It's better to say that it is better to sell the fruit for money, which seems to be taking other people's wages for nothing!
Thinking about it here, Zhou Qi spoke again: "By the way, if anyone in the village still wants to work in the city in the future, let them come to me, and I will arrange work for the big guys!" ”
Uncle Zhou didn't understand what Zhou boy's was doing for a long time!
This is not only to give his family a gray salary, but even to give the whole village a gray salary!
Sure enough, this rich is different!
However, Zhou Qi began to have ideas when he returned to his house......
This court pays heavy taxes, but he can't change it, even if he has a relationship with Liu Sichen, it's useless, if he dies to the court, I don't know whether this is the Son of Heaven or the prime minister, if one doesn't get it right, then if it doesn't work, it will really die!
He doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, so he honestly holds his dream of tax evasion and evasion!
This peach, since the government doesn't accept it, even if he doesn't show off the list, it's a thing that can be lived!
So the next day, after the salt number was miserable for most of the day, he bought another twenty or thirty peach saplings and handed them over to Uncle Zhou! ……
This was completely blinded to Uncle Zhou, but he didn't say anything more in the end.
People spend money to buy a happy, so what's there to say!
This matter also spread in the village, and sure enough, a few villagers also went to the gate of Zhou's house!
Zhou Qi also asked one by one, what does this government not accept?
Then what does he plant! ……
The mountain varieties also include sapella, jujube and apricot trees.
Due to climatic influences and soil reasons, these varieties of fruits do not grow well in the south, and are known as wild fruits, even if they are sold in the market, they can't be sold for a few dollars!
But Zhou Qi was very happy, and more and more villagers came.
He simply gave each person twenty heads, planted twenty fruit trees, and got fifty copper plates a month!
Because Uncle Zhou's family planted more, his salary directly doubled!
This made Zhao Cuihua see it, and her heart hurt......
She really couldn't look at it, and finally couldn't help it, so she said: "Son, you have made money, you can't be so defeated!" ”
Even several women in the family had different expressions......
Qing Leng looked at him with an expression like a fool!
As an account office, she is extremely sensitive to money matters, just watching Zhou Qi put a lot of money outside these days, without thinking about it, she also knows that this matter will definitely not be able to get back!
But Zhao Xiaoyu, who is used to staying in the village, doesn't care about it, he just thinks that the eldest brother is too kind-hearted this week, seeing the hardships of the villagers in the village, this is simply looking for a reason to throw money out!
And Wu Zhitao didn't have the heart to care about this matter, and she didn't understand the key thing, so she flattened her mouth and went to dance with a knife and a stick!
Only Su Ling, as always, chooses to believe unconditionally!
"Lang Jun, it's definitely not that simple for you to plant those fruits, right?"
As his own daughter-in-law, and he trusts him so much, Zhou Qi is willing to talk to her.
"The one we are planting now is called a fruit tree, and when it grows up, it will be called a cash cow!"
