Chapter 39: Finding a Way to Make Money
Old man Lou rolled his eyes: "No! ”
Qin Liu couldn't help but laugh, and mourned in silence for Lord Zhu Yue, who was pressed by three major mountains above - if you want to be a gentleman, you don't have that condition!
But then her heart grew heavy again.
This Zhu Yue has never done anything wrong to her, but he sent his master with superb martial arts skills to protect him secretly, what is the relationship with the original body?
If you really want to protect your family, why let us struggle to survive in this precarious sandcastle town?
Qin Liu couldn't figure it out, and he simply didn't want to.
She is now in a situation where she is sitting on a mountain and eating nothing. Qin Liu had to think of other ways out.
Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run.
The grief-stricken Mrs. Qu in the backyard is an example.
She had to find a new way out and a way to make money before the money in her hand was spent.
Buying land to grow food is the easiest way to do it. However, the yield of wheat planted in this society is too low, and after paying taxes, if the seeds are removed, and the labor is not removed, about 30% can be left, which is too uneconomical.
Opening a store is a recipe. But what if that Zhu Yue repeats his old tricks and buys her very profitable store at a low price?
She had to think of other ways out.
She thought of the fox skin, which was worth a thousand taels of silver.
She doesn't come from farming and animal husbandry, and breeding foxes is too risky for her.
She specializes in geology and geography and coal chemical industry. It's just that these things are big investment businesses, and now she is still worried about long-term survival, and she can't take care of those things.
Qin Liu thought hard for several days, but he couldn't get it. She even rented a horse and walked around the neighborhood for a while out of Sandcastle Town.
Surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, there are not many plains, and it is not realistic to cultivate land on a large scale.
Qin Liu thought of seeing large areas of cornfield when he went to the grassland to play in modern society.
Corn!
A flash of inspiration flashed in Qin Liu's mind.
She remembers that corn and potatoes, which are extremely high-yielding crops, are not owned by China, but are imported.
Now there are no these agricultural products here, it can be seen that corn and potatoes have not yet been popularized in Daming at this moment, can she go to the coast to have a look and find out if there are these things in overseas imports?
Or can you ask Old Man Lou first?
Old man Lou was confused by the corn and potatoes she painted, and finally concluded: "There are many places where barbarians in the capital live together, and there are also many treasures and treasures overseas, maybe there are these things you said." ”
Qin Liu wilted.
Qin Liu raised his forehead and sighed: "How can I find a living that makes money?!!! ”
Old man Lou smiled and drank all the wine in the cup: "It's not easy? Sell horses! Come fast and earn more! ”
Qin Liu rolled his eyes, and said with little interest: "There are more than a dozen people like you who go to sell horses, and I have such tender arms and thin legs, forget it." ”
The sixth master and Liu Qiye who sold horses, they are all brave and heroic, she doesn't have this ability, and she doesn't have such manpower.
Old man Lou said disapprerovingly: "In the past few years, our Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have been suspended, and there is a shortage of war horses, so we have to carry out tea and horse exchanges with Tibet. Liu Jin is too harsh, and the tea and horse market is not good. Our Xuanfu has also been short of horses for a long time.
And they Mongolia, in recent years, have lacked salt and tea, and their lives are not easy. It's just that they Dayan Khan are stubborn, and would rather send people to loot and loot than bow their heads and reopen the mutual market.
You have a little mute to be a link on the grassland, and Xuanfu has Zhu Yue to find a market, isn't it easy to make a lot of money? ”
Qin Liu listened with his ears pricked up for a long time, and did not speak for a moment.
The little mute is so miserable, she must not be treated well on the grassland, isn't it a death for her to go to the grassland with him to sell horses?
Making money is important, but staying alive is even more important.
The little mute refuses to go back to the grassland now, and she will not force him to go back.
Isn't it just to raise an extra mouth?
Qin Liu seized the time to sew spring clothes for the family, one person and two bodies, both of which were bought linen and coarse cloth, and more expensive muslin for underwear, of course, the old man Lou and the little mute were also indispensable.
To her surprise, Mrs. Qu next door actually started to get up early to make breakfast.
If it weren't for the fact that the smoke wafting out of the Ma family's kitchen was too big and drifted to the Li family to wake up Qin Liu, she wouldn't have known.
Since the Swallow Building was closed, Qin Liu, Old Man Lou and the others got up more and more late.
Nothing happens during the day anyway.
Only then did she realize that she hadn't seen Maang in a long time.
Qin Liu hurriedly dressed himself and the two children, and led the children out of the door in a panic, and saw that the Ma family's kitchen was billowing smoke, and Mrs. Qu was rushing into the kitchen with a basin.
Old man Lou, who lived in the backyard, and the little mute who had been injured on his buttocks, who had most of the injuries on his buttocks, also rushed over, and Aunt Ma, Ma Yue and Sister Ma Feng, who were busy in the dumpling shop, also rushed into the yard one after another.
Everyone didn't bother to say anything, and hurriedly scooped up a basin of water to extinguish the fire.
The fire was quickly extinguished, the Ma family's kitchen was full of water, and the steamer still on the stove was blackened with smoke.
No matter how well Aunt Ma cultivated, she also glared at Mrs. Qu standing in the courtyard resentfully at this time.
Mrs. Qu's clothes were half wet at this time, her face was stained with a lot of soot, tears rippled, some aggrieved and a little dazed.
Sister Ma Feng's cultivation was not so good, and she said angrily: "This is good, my mother and I got up an hour early and made the nest that was ruined!" What a broom star! ”
Mrs. Qu covered her mouth and cried.
Seeing this, Qin Liu hurriedly pulled Sister Ma Feng over and whispered, "Don't say that!" "Anyway, this Mrs. Qu is her nominal sister-in-law, and she insults her face, and it is not good for her reputation.
Sister Ma Feng didn't appreciate Qin Liu's kindness, and said indignantly: "Do you think she really wants to live a good life?" It's just that I heard that my brother went to Xuanfu and was called by the chief for special training, and he has a great future! She just wants to sell well and continue to be an official wife! ”
Mrs. Qu hurriedly whispered: "I... I just want to help make breakfast......" The tears washed out two traces of the soot on the face of the melon seed, which looked particularly pitiful.
Sister Ma Feng was not forgiving: "As far as the food you cooked, it is like pig food, who is impatient to eat it?!" ”
Sister Ma Feng's gaze swept over Mrs. Qu's abdomen, and she was about to speak, but she was dragged by Qin Liu and glared at again, but she still stopped, but puffed out her cheeks.
Ma Yue scratched his head: "The kitchen is ruined, where will the nest be steamed in the future?" ”
Qin Liu smiled: "It's not easy? The kitchen of the swallow building is idle, and it is just used for it. Anyway, I'm also the owner of the dumpling shop, right? ”
Aunt Ma and Ma Yue both had embarrassed smiles on their faces.
The dumpling shop has not opened at this time, and Aunt Ma and they just went to Mr. Fire and boil porridge. This time, Aunt Ma asked Ma Yue to go to the dumpling shop to watch, and she, Sister Ma Feng and Qin Liu went to the kitchen of Yanzilou to prepare breakfast.
Old Man Lou and the little mute took the child back to the main house. The kitchen is full of women at this time, and it is not convenient for them to use it.
Aunt Ma and Sister Ma helped Qin Liu to help, and when they saw Qin Liu quickly cooking porridge, hot steamed buns, and preparing cold dishes, they were full of emotion.
