Chapter 170 Development of Commerce
Because it was necessary to go to the temperature at the beginning, Song Qingyou put the test samples in a special field in the space and took care of them diligently every day.
In the end, the emperor lived up to his hard work, Song Qingyou worked hard for a month, and the watermelon seedlings finally grew out, and then the first watermelon was quickly produced under the action of rooting powder.
Good things naturally have to be shared with friends, Song Qingyou mysteriously shouted Cheng Yuxi, Xiao Qishu, Wang Hang and others in the small courtyard.
"Wow!" She placed the already cut watermelon on the table.
Cheng Yuxi recognized it at a glance and exclaimed, "Where did you get the watermelon?!" ”
"Hehe~ Mountain people have their own tricks."
Under Song Qingyou's strong recommendation, Xiao Qishu and Wang Hang tasted it with apprehension, and immediately fell in the next second.
Since knowing that Xiao Qishu was born in the Xiao family in the capital, Wang Hang's admiration has reached a higher level, and he has an idea as soon as he eats the watermelon.
"I heard Miss Cheng say that this thing is called watermelon? It is something that has never been seen in our dynasty, and you might as well have your majesty written by the lower officials to offer this thing, and the two of you can also use this to enter Beijing. ”
Xiao Qishu understood Wang Hang's intentions, but now was not a good time to go back, so he said: "The county commander's intentions are in his heart, but now the grievances have not been cleared up, and it will be useless to go back, so it is better to put this matter on hold for the time being, and wait until the time is ripe in the future." ”
Since then, watermelon has become a special fruit in the county government and will not be announced to the public for the time being.
On this day, Song Qingyou was holding a watermelon chilled in the space to enjoy a beautiful afternoon tea, when suddenly a white and chubby thing appeared in front of him, lying on his stomach softly, falling down and swaying.
"Mom!" Song Qingyou screamed and threw out the watermelon in his hand.
Toya, who was reading a book on the side, rushed over as soon as she heard it, and saw Song Qingyou trembling at a small bug.
Tuoya twisted the insect expressionlessly and was about to throw it out, and was seen by Cheng Yuxi, who came back.
"Wait a minute!" Cheng Yuxi walked over, took the insect in his hand and looked at it, and then looked at the big tree overhead, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Song Qingyou, this is a wild silkworm!" ”
"Ah...... Yes? Song Qingyou hadn't recovered from the fright.
Cheng Yuxi put the silkworm on the palm of his hand and stretched it out in front of Song Qingyou, "Look, wild silkworm, this is a luxury." ”
Song Qingyou, who finally came back to her senses, looked at the silkworm in Cheng Yuxi's hand carefully, and suddenly remembered that a handmade silk scarf she had bought for her mother before, which was enough for her two months' salary - 40,000 yuan!
Cheng Yuxi's family was in the silkworm business before he came here, so he was very excited to see wild silkworms. The other is also because she has been living with Song Qingyou since she and Xiao Yiran drew a clear line, and it can be said that she has been eating and drinking for nothing during this time.
Now that she has this silkworm, the skills she has learned since she was a child can finally play a role, and she did not hesitate to tell Song Qingyou her thoughts.
"With this silkworm, we can consider the silk industry, which is very profitable."
Ever since he learned that there were people in the capital who were unfavorable to Xiao Qishu, Song Qingyou had been thinking about how to get rich quickly, and now this is a pie in the sky.
In the following days, Cheng Yuxi began to work on silkworms, silkworms and mulberry leaves were ready-made, and soon the first batch of mulberry silk was successfully produced, and then he found the wife of Liu Erge to make mulberry silk into silk, and sent it to the silk shop in the county with excitement to sell.
Half a month later, the shopkeeper of the silk shop stopped Song Qingyou at the gate of the county office, "Shopkeeper Song, where did the silk sent last time come from?" Is there more to come? ”
"What do you mean?" Song Qingyou heard the eagerness in the shopkeeper's tone.
"Oops!" The shopkeeper of the silk shop patted his thigh, "Don't you know, the silk horses sent last time were quickly snapped up, not only that, but also by many nobles, many of my partners came to ask me for goods." ”
This situation is completely unexpected by Cheng Song Qingyou, after all, the silk spit by wild silkworms is not the same as the domestic, and the silk made not only feels smoother, but also has a certain cooling effect, which is the top material for making summer clothes.
"Shopkeeper, don't worry, tell me how much you need first." Song Qingyou knows that when doing business, you must take the initiative in your own hands.
As soon as the words fell, she saw the shopkeeper take out a stack of orders from his sleeve and slapped them on Song Qingyou's hand, which really startled her.
"This ...... We're afraid ......"
Before Song Qingyou finished speaking, the shopkeeper of the silk shop said impatiently: "I know, I know, but the nobles in this place have to be anxious, you are tired and hurry up to work, and I will give you more than one percent of the profit for each horse of silk after that!" ”
After speaking, he didn't give Song Qingyou a chance to refuse, and left in a hurry.
Entering the courtyard, Song Qingyou saw Cheng Yuxi lying bored on the newly vacated recliner and drowsy.
"Don't sleep!"
Song Qingyou played her a brain melon.
Cheng Yuxi covered his head and complained: "Why are you disturbing people's dreams!" ”
"The shopkeeper of the silk shop came to me and said that our silk sales are very good, and we hope to increase the supply."
Cheng Yuxi rubbed the place where he was played, and said with a smile: "Haha! I knew it! The silk woven from this wild silk is a luxury item in Blue Star, let alone here! ”
"Uh-huh! Miss Cheng is like a god. Song Qingyou said and slapped the stack of orders on Cheng Yuxi's hand again, "In that case, you will be tired of starting work, this is another lot of money." ”
Looking at the thick stack of orders, Cheng Yuxi was stunned on the spot, "This ...... I can't finish it by myself! ”
"It's easy to do." Song Qingyou said and took out a piece of gold, "This is for you, you can buy whatever you need, and if you need workers, you can find it, and if you don't have enough money, just ask me for it." ”
Holding the heavy gold, Cheng Yuxi couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to be rich!" After saying that, he went out to find the workers.
As soon as Cheng Yuxi walked on the front foot, Song Qingyou heard the sound of the points arriving in the space.
At the same time, Cheng Yuxi also organized the women of Kushui County, taught them how to raise silkworms, and then directly absorbed them into the textile workshop.
Those orders began to be produced in an orderly manner.
With the gradual improvement of iron ore, forging, grain and water sources during this time, Song Qingyou can hear the sound of points arriving in her account from time to time, and the capital has been very quiet recently, resulting in her points being basically not consumed except for exchanging some seeds, and now it is almost 10,000.
