Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 61 Setting a Goal
After the routine morning exercise the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Qinghe put on his back basket, took Lin Qingsong with him, and headed for the county together.

Both of them walked very fast, and when they entered the county town, they went straight to the teahouse.

"Miss Qinghe is here!" The shopkeeper Zheng of the teahouse greeted her kindly when he saw her coming.

This is indeed a businessman, who knows the truth of making money with kindness, even if she is a countryman, he can politely call her a girl.

"Shopkeeper Zheng is polite." Then he pointed to Lin Qingsong who was beside him and said, "This is my younger brother Lin Qingsong. I brought him with me today to see the world. Please don't make fun of me."

This girl is not very big, and she speaks quite maturely. Shopkeeper Zheng smiled and looked at Lin Qingsong a few times. Seeing that she is younger but has a very strong body, it can be seen that she will definitely be a strong man when she grows up.

"It's not funny, it's too outsider. Looking at Brother Lin, he is really cute. There are not many families who can raise such strong children." As he spoke, he took the A few pieces of candy were stuffed into Lin Qingsong's hands.

Lin Qingsong felt a little embarrassing, he was such an adult, why did he still treat him like a child, but smelling the sweet aroma, he felt that the candy should not be bad, and it would be good to take it home for Qing Miao to eat.

Then he took it away, and cupped his hands in a vague manner: "Thank you, shopkeeper Zheng."

"Hahaha, why is this kid so polite? It's just a few pieces of candy, just take it and eat it."

The price of sugar is not cheap, and those who can entertain guests with sugar can express their enthusiasm for hospitality.

Lin Qinghe also understood that the reason shopkeeper Zheng treated them so politely was mostly because of Zheng Erlang. Although this business was rare, in the eyes of shopkeeper Zheng, it was also a transaction from his son, so he would naturally pay more attention to it.

After the formalities were over, he started to talk about the business. Lin Qinghe took out the preserved fruit in the basket, and shopkeeper Zheng inspected the goods as usual. After doing this kind of thing a few times, he became very proficient.

After weighing and paying the bill, shopkeeper Zheng said to them: "A few days ago, I asked someone to send these preserved fruits to Fucheng. Erlang told me that these preserved fruits sell well in Fucheng. It would be great if there were more of them."

This is not the first time I heard this. Lin Qinghe smiled bitterly and said: "The taste of this preserved fruit is good. One is that our production method is good, and the other is that the wild fruit itself tastes good, but the wild fruits in the mountains are only those. These days Our sister and brother are still talking about it, I am afraid that the supply of preserved fruit will not be available for a few times, we will have to wait until next year..."

Shopkeeper Zheng also felt regretful, but there was nothing he could do about it. Wild fruits were just those. If they were replaced with other preserved fruits, the taste would be different.

"Since this is the case, we can only wait for next year."

But Lin Qinghe said again: "Although there are no preserved fruits, I made a lot of wild fruit wine some time ago. After waiting for more than a month, the wine will be ready to drink. Bring some to the shopkeeper to taste. how is the taste."

"That's good. I like to drink tea, but I also like to drink alcohol. You must bring me to taste it!" Zheng shopkeeper said expectantly, the little girl is good at making preserved fruits, and the fruit wine must be Well brewed.

"sure."

Lin Qinghe came out of the teahouse with his younger brother, Lin Qingsong still looked reluctant to leave: "This shopkeeper Zheng treats people really kindly."

"Businessmen, most of them are kind to others, and those who are not kind to others will inevitably have a hard time doing business."

Lin Qingsong nodded, he also understood the truth, but it was the first time he was greeted so warmly by someone, it made him somewhat uncomfortable, but he also felt very happy in his heart, being respected as an adult, he felt that he was also an adult up.

The siblings took the hatchet to the blacksmith's shop, bought two hoes, and bought some odds and ends that the family needed, and then went out of the city to go home.

On the way back, Lin Qingsong also sighed like Lin Qingmiao: "It's really not easy to make money."

The candied fruit they brought was only sold for [-] yuan, but two hoes cost [-] yuan, and the worst paper for a knife was [-] yuan, plus other odds and ends. They spent more than one tael of silver today.

"Knowing that making money is not easy, then just work harder and learn more things to make making money easier."

Eldest sister's tone was really serious, Lin Qingsong said helplessly, "Elder sister, don't treat me like a child."

"Why did I treat you like a child? Look at the magistrate of the county, who just sits in the hall and takes pictures of the gavel, and then gets a salary every month. There is also the shopkeeper Zheng, who sits behind the counter every day to drink For tea, the guests who enter the door will come to the door with silver in their hands, and see that people make money, isn't it easy."

In fact, it may not be as simple as she said, but it is roughly the same.

Lin Qingsong always felt that what she said was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he just said, "It's easy for them to make money because they have skills."

"Then you should learn something."

"I, how do I learn this?" But he was stumped.

Seeing this, Lin Qinghe couldn't help laughing: "What do you think you are best at now?"

"Strength." He clenched his fist, and the veins on his arm bulged, hesitating for a while and said: "Kung fu is considered a skill, right?"

"Of course it's a skill. It's just that you are still young and haven't mastered the skill yet. When you learn it well, it will be useful one day."

Lin Qingsong nodded, apparently agreeing with what she said, and replied: "When I grow up, I will go to the mountains to hunt every day and bring back a lot of prey like my father, and our life will be the same as before. "

For this pursuit, Lin Qinghe couldn't help but glance at him with disgust: "I can't imagine a better one. For example, if you go to the battlefield and become a general, can't our whole family get rich with you?"

Lin Qingsong's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he said in disbelief: "Sister, how dare you think that ordinary people like us can become generals? It's over."

"Hey, you still know Wuchang and Shichang, it seems that you haven't thought about it."

"Some people in our village went to serve as soldiers, but some came back, and some didn't. For a while, many children in the village were playing games, and they were all vying to be the general."

Lin Qinghe glanced at him and said with a smile: "Could it be that the general asked you to grab it in the end?"

"Hey." Lin Qingsong smiled a little embarrassedly. Now that he thought about it, he realized how naive he was at that time.

"No matter what you do, I think you have to have a goal, and then move towards this goal. It's hard to say whether you will be successful in the end, but this process of hard work is also very training. In short, life is just a few decades, not in vain. It’s right to go around once in the world.”

"If I want to set a goal, I hope to make more money so that our family will not be short of money in the future."

This goal sounds a bit vulgar, but in fact, she is also working around making money every day, so they are going to the same goal by different routes.
