Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 73
Lin Qingsong saw that shopkeeper Chen's complexion was unkind, and worried about getting into trouble, he dragged Lin Qinghe to walk quickly, but the siblings disappeared on the street in the blink of an eye.

"This shopkeeper Chen doesn't look like a good person."

Lin Qinghe nodded with a smile: "It's really not a good person, and it's dishonest to do business."

"It's a good thing for people like this to say they don't want to do our business."

"It's really a good thing not to deal with such people." Lin Qinghe agreed.

While talking, the two went to the teahouse and found shopkeeper Zheng.

"Hey, you sisters and brothers are here, come and sit down and blow a cup of tea and rest your feet." After getting to know each other well, shopkeeper Zheng also likes the two brothers and sisters, and greets people warmly when they come.

The two sat down, and Lin Qinghe took out the wine jar from the basket and put it on the table.

"Didn't you mention this fruit wine to Shopkeeper Zheng last time? Now it looks like it's almost ready. I brought it specially today. Look at it, old man, can it still be good?"

As soon as the mouth of the altar was opened, the aroma of the wine overflowed. Shopkeeper Zheng lived at this age, and he can be regarded as a knowledgeable person, but he smelled the smell, and still exclaimed: "This wine smells so good!"

"This is fruit wine. The aroma is mainly from the fruit. If the fruit is good, the wine produced is not bad." Lin Qinghe said slowly.

"You said one thing was missed, and it has to be made with good craftsmanship. If the craftsmanship is not good, no matter how good the fruit is, it will not be able to produce such a taste." Shopkeeper Zheng said, took a deep breath, and then took out a bowl , Hold the jar and pour out a bowl of wine.

"I don't know if you don't look at it. The color is also very beautiful." Holding the bowl, he didn't drink it directly, but smelled it carefully, and then took a sip from the side of the bowl, followed by an intoxicated expression on his face.

Seeing his expression, Lin Qingsong really wanted to laugh, but he kept a tight face, not wanting to make people think that he was unstable, and it was really hard to hold back.

"Good wine!" Shopkeeper Zheng slapped the table with his palm and drank loudly.

Looking at his expression, Lin Qinghe was also delighted. It is indeed a very happy thing for the things he made to be appreciated by others.

"It's good that your old man likes it."

"If I don't like such a good thing, it means I don't know taste." Shopkeeper Zheng said happily.

Lin Qinghe took advantage of the situation and said: "Then, you are indeed a very tasteful person."

Shopkeeper Zheng pointed at her with his index finger, and kept smiling: "I'll take as much wine as I want." He had already made up his mind, even if his son didn't want it, he could keep it for himself and drink it slowly. This thing is easy to store and not easy to break.

"Then the price?"

"The price of good liquor in the county is 25 Wen a catty. Yours is fruit wine, but it tastes really good. How about it? I'll give you [-] Wen a catty. What do you think?"

Liquor is made from grain, so the cost is much higher. The fruit she uses is not expensive, at 25 Wen a catty, it is definitely not a loss, and it can even be said to be very profitable.

Lin Qinghe's heart changed, and he nodded with a smile: "Then it's 25 Wen a catty."

"Okay, refreshed." Shopkeeper Zheng was also happy. The price he gave was not low, but the fruit wine was really good, so if you buy it at this price, you won't lose money.

Between the two of them, the deal was concluded. Lin Qingsong was watching and felt happy. He didn't know much about these things, so he didn't say a word, just watched and listened.

Hearing that the price was negotiated, I calculated silently in my heart. The wine at home probably weighed more than 2000 catties. So...

He suddenly became a little excited, and after a rough calculation, it looked like more than 50 taels of silver. With this income, the life of the family would no longer have to worry, and he felt more at ease while being happy.

After the business was negotiated, the two agreed on a delivery time, and then the siblings left.

After walking far, Lin Qingsong saw no one around, so he whispered, "Eldest sister, I didn't expect those fruit wines to be so profitable. From now on, we can make some fruit wines and sell them every year, so the family will not have to worry about their livelihood."

If it was just a one-time sale, he might not be so happy, but the fruit in the back mountain bears fruit every year, and the fruit wine can be brewed every year. If it is calculated in this way, the fruit forest in the back mountain can support a family child.

Where is this, Lin Qinghe laughed a little: "We need to broaden our horizons, don't just stare at the fruit forest, we can also develop in other directions, such as buying a few more acres of land, or buying a shop to collect rent What."

A man should take a longer-term view.

Hearing her words, Lin Qingsong calmed down a little bit, thought for a while, and said, "We can't afford to buy a shop now, but we can't afford to buy land, and the best land costs ten taels of silver per mu. Even if we own the land, our family doesn’t know how to cultivate it, so if we rent it out to others, will they bully us for being young and not giving us a rent?”

This kind of thing has happened before. If the master's family is too weak, the tenants will lie to others, or simply refuse to rent them, and occupy the land of the master's family to cultivate themselves.

"It also varies from person to person. Do you think the number of brothers and sisters in our family can be bullied like that?" In her opinion, even the youngest Qingmiao would never be bullied like that.

Lin Qingsong scratched his head, that's right, he and the eldest sister both have kung fu, so it's not easy to mess with, if there is something wrong, he is right at all to fight with others.

"Buying land is definitely necessary. Life will be more stable if you have land. No matter what happens, there will always be a harvest in the field."

Lin Qingsong nodded when he heard the words. The people in the village lived off the crops in the fields. Although they were not rich or rich, they could live a good life. Compared with their family's situation, they were much more stable.

"If my family really bought land, I would also learn how to farm it. There are so many people in the village who grow crops well. No matter who I ask for advice, I can learn the skills of farming." As long as you have the strength to work, you can do it.

"Then you can learn first. We won't buy land this year. Let's save the money first, and buy a few acres of land at a time next year. However, we may not be able to cultivate it by ourselves, and we will have to rent it out by then. Regarding the production in the land We need to learn more about this.”

"I'm strong, and I'll be one year older next year, so I can do a lot of work." Lin Qingsong said quickly, trying to prove that he was already a big boy.

Lin Qinghe said helplessly: "I know you have strength, and you will be able to do more work next year. However, we still have other things to do. Farming is important, but other things are also very important, and nothing can be delayed."

When she said this, Lin Qingsong immediately understood, yes, the main source of their family now is preserved fruit and fruit wine, and when the time comes next year, they should be busy again.

He said with some embarrassment: "Sister, I'll listen to your arrangements for any future work."

"It's right to listen to my arrangement, but you have to have some ideas, otherwise people will say what they say, and you won't know if they trick you, that's not okay."
