Chapter 266: Grains of rice are hard to find
"Are you stupid, there are so many delicious foods in Fengchun Building, just the nourishing soup food, if you change it one day, it will not be the same for a hundred days!" Luo Kui folded his hands and counted, for the dishes of Fengchun Building, it is like a treasure!
Jin Wen instantly looked up at Xiao Jiuyue, and after getting Xiao Jiuyue's affirmative nod, he said, "Then, what kind of dishes do you send every day?" What if you don't like it? ”
Xiao Jiuyue's eyes fell on Luo Kui on the side, and said, "Ask Luo Kui, Luo Kui knows so much about eating, she must know it." ”
"Don't worry, Miss, I'm sure I'll make proper arrangements every day." Luo Kui patted her chest and promised.
All the way back to Xiao's house, Xiao Jiuyue reminded that she was not allowed to mention the matter of the opera garden, let alone the fact that she was almost injured, otherwise, her grandmother and mother would have to worry about not talking about it, especially the beautiful lady, she would not coax when she cried!
Xiao Jiuyue came back with two thousand taels of silver this time, and she directly told the matter of the two hundred acres of land, and said: "Grandmother, mother, although there are many acres of land, we will send it to Lingnan in the future, and we will eat it ourselves, and the two hundred acres of land are not all planted rice, but also have to plant charcoal forests." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The old lady bowed slightly: "Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, the charcoal fire has been used, and if it is colder, I am afraid that the charcoal fire will not be enough." ”
"That's what I think, although there is a lot of wood in the back mountain, but, I asked Shi Lizheng them about the wood suitable for charcoal, either they go to the mountains far away, or they can only cut the nearby miscellaneous firewood, the efficiency is extremely low, if you plant a charcoal forest, it will be different, and we will not lack charcoal in the future!"
Xiao Jiuyue said her thoughts and said: "The charcoal sent to Lingnan this year is almost not enough, and now it is still smooth and rainy, if the year is not good, I am afraid that I can't buy it in the cold winter." ”
Xiao Jiuyue is a person who likes to be prepared, and prefers to take all the initiative into his own hands!
"Yue'er." When Aunt Xiao heard that Xiao Jiuyue had bought 200 acres of land, she didn't feel anything wrong, and when she knew that Xiao Jiuyue was going to take out twenty or thirty acres of land to plant charcoal forests, Aunt Xiao was worried and said: "Charcoal is hard to buy, but you can buy it, but you can't buy grain." ”
"If there is a flood or a snow disaster, it is difficult to find rice." Aunt Lan also spoke, she is a native of Yizhou, and every year there are always several floods, in her heart, food is the most important!
"Isn't there a lot of charcoal burning wood on this mountain? Isn't it a bit ...... to spend twenty or thirty acres of land to grow charcoal-burning firewood? Lost? Aunt Xiao explained with a smile and said, "Mother, I just think that it is a bit of a loss to grow firewood in this field, so it is better to grow food to make people feel at ease." ”
Old Madam Xiao twisted the Buddha beads, raised her eyelids slightly and glanced at Aunt Xiao, and then closed them again.
Aunt Xiao said weakly: "Yue'er, now that you are in charge, what you are willing to plant, the third aunt has no opinion." ”
The money is all earned by Xiao Jiuyue, if she is in the embroidery workshop with Aunt Lan, she will earn a little money, forget it, as long as there is no shortage of food, Xiao Jiuyue will plant whatever she wants.
"Third aunt, Aunt Lan, we are a family, if you have something to say, just say it, it's good." Xiao Jiuyue was not angry at all about their objections, if they were all hiding and didn't dare to say anything, but they had a stomach full of resentment in their hearts, it would be difficult!
After waiting for a long time, how can this resentful family, how can they unite and move forward?
"I have already calculated the grain, according to the Xiao family's current land, plus the land bought, it is counted as one hundred and fifty mu, adding up, there are more than two hundred mu, the output of one mu, the lowest five hundred and eighty catties this year, the grain grown, excluding the tenants who farmed the land, the descendants of the Xiao family, it is enough for the Xiao family and their grandfather and father in Lingnan to eat for five years!"
Xiao Jiuyue directly put the data and said the facts, although twenty or thirty acres of charcoal forests were taken out, there would be no shortage of food for the Xiao family!
"Then, there are still more than a dozen acres, what does Yue'er plan to plant?" Aunt Xiao asked, and when she heard Xiao Jiuyue calculate the food, she was instantly relieved.
"Plant mulberry hemp." Xiao Jiuyue opened his mouth and said: "Zhiyun Building will be driven to Fucheng in the future, and the fabrics needed will only get bigger and bigger, besides, some ordinary linen and Ge cloth, we can still be self-sufficient." ”
"Mulberry trees can raise silkworms, hemp can make more things, ramie, can make clothes and shoes, can not be worn for a year, and flax, jute ......" Shang Lan mentioned this, began to say: "We are in Yizhou, every household has to plant, and there are a lot of things that can be made." ”
Aunt Xiao was dizzy when she heard this, anyway, she grasped an important point: "So, it's all necessary things, right?" Yue'er thought it really well. ”
"Hmph." Old Madam Xiao snorted lightly, as if she was dissatisfied, and said, "Who was questioning Yue'er's decision just now?" ”
"Mother, I'm short-sighted, not as smart as Yue'er." Aunt Xiao apologized decisively and praised Xiao Jiuyue.
The corners of Xiao Jiuyue's mouth were almost unable to suppress the praise, in terms of rhetoric, Aunt Xiao's sentence was really better than the sentence, she cleared her throat and said: "Third aunt, there are a lot of silk flowers and head flowers made by Tingwu and He Lian together, I think, starting tomorrow, I will send them to the county to sell." ”
"Will it work?" Aunt Xiao's first reaction now is not that the status of a businessman is too low, but whether she can do it!
If it weren't for Xiao Jiuyue to lead everyone to make money, it's hard to say whether everyone can have a full meal now, not to mention that they live in the village now, except that they don't have to go to the plum banquet and chrysanthemum banquet every once in a while like Sheng Jing, and there is not much difference between them and Shengjing Xiao Mansion!
With people around to serve, she is well fed and clothed, and her life is much better than she expected!
"Absolutely." Xiao Jiuyue said affirmatively, and after talking about the matter, Aunt Xiao and Aunt Lan also took the initiative to mention the income of Zhiyun Building, she said: "Yue'er, if the money is not enough to buy land, starting next month, Zhiyun Building will hand over another batch of goods, and there will be silver money at that time." ”
"Okay, the third aunt and aunt are really amazing." Xiao Jiuyue praised.
Aunt Xiao said: "The best thing is Aunt Lan and your mother, the style of sister-in-law's clothes is the most popular, Aunt Lan takes care of the Weaving Cloud Building, settles accounts and receives guests, they are all very skilled, only me, I can only bury my head in the embroidery workshop to do some life and death." ”
Aunt Xiao is very self-aware, although her embroidery work is good, not as good as her sister-in-law, her brain is not as flexible as her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law makes a few styles at will, and those ladies and ladies rush to ask for it.
Her mouth is not as good as Aunt Lan's, and it's okay to praise people, but when something happens, she doesn't know what to say.
