Chapter 45 Ginger is still old and spicy
It wasn't until his figure entered the room that she breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Kang's sudden change caught her by surprise.

She is used to the plain water between the two of them, so she really couldn't stand the sudden enthusiasm.

Anyway, from this day on, Ji Kang listened to Mrs. Luo's words and wiped his face. He learned to thicken his skin. He helped her with homework as soon as he came back, set meals together, boiled her bath water at night, said good night and so on.

When Xi'er thought of this, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

But fortunately, after getting used to it for a few days, I can still accept it slowly. Ji Kang gave his mother a thumbs up. The ginger is still old and spicy.

Life slowly returned to calm again, Xi'er saw that there was a lot of garlic in the space, so she wanted to try to pickle some garlic.

When I have nothing to do, I peel the garlic with the workers, peel off the garlic, wash it with water and dry it, and then pickle the garlic in the jar and seal it like a pickle strip.

She didn't dare to pickle too much, because she was afraid that no one would buy it. Although northerners love garlic, who knows what pickles are, and they have to sell them.

However, this garlic takes longer to marinate than other vegetables, at least half a month before it comes out of the vat, and the taste of garlic is not very good.

Chinese cabbage and white radish will soon be on the market, so cheap that Xi'er doesn't know what to say.

The common people worked hard for more than three months, but they only sold it for one penny per catty. Some people sold it for one penny and two catties, and the radish was also sold at the same price. It is really sad for the common people.

Xi'er thought of the radishes and cabbages planted in the old house. Before she left, she gave the key to Aunt Ma and asked her to help with watering, but she didn't know what happened.

Unexpectedly, Lao Ma sent cabbage and radishes over the next day. It was really a tacit understanding.

"Haha, knowing that you don't want to go back to the village, I collected the vegetables and brought them over to you. I wonder what you little girl can do after the radish and cabbage come down?"

"Hey, Uncle Ma, just take a look."

The next day, she bought a lot of cabbage and radishes and went home, hoarded some of them and put them in the warehouse, and peeled off the skins of the rest, leaving the tender insides.

She started making spicy cabbage. When it was cold, she vacated a room for workers to work in.

After making one jar, seal it, and then continue to cook. She made five jars of spicy cabbage alone.

This is not over yet, she used cabbage to make five jars of sauerkraut and five jars of kimchi. The kimchi was not only made of cabbage, but also radish, long beans, fresh ginger, and yangjiang.

Next, she plans to make a batch of spicy dried radish.

She used to love this very much. It is fragrant, crispy and chewy, and it is not salty and can be eaten with rice. Just thinking about it makes her mouth water.

I'm tired of eating pickles at home during this period, and it's time for a change.

So a big kang was vacated from the wing room, and the kang was heated up, and the chopped radish strips were directly baked on it, which dried faster than outside.

If one kang is not enough, the big kang in another wing room is vacated. When building houses in the north, they like to put a kang at one end of each room, and half of the vacant kang can be used for things, so that there is room for cooking and drying in winter. .

After sealing the last vat of spicy dried radish, the first batch of maltose made by Yangliu Village was also sent to her.

She opened a jar at random, dug out a spoonful of it with a spoon, and stirred it in hot water. There was no sugar residue. It seemed that she was very careful in making it. She tasted it again and then nodded.

So according to the original agreement, they were purchased at [-] Wen per catty, and they were paid according to the amount of whoever made it.

After the villagers received the money, their eye sockets were wet. This was the first money they earned through their own labor.

They were so happy, so they saluted Xi'er one by one, held the money tightly in their arms, and went to buy materials with it.

Xi'er shouted to them, she has a lot of materials in her space, why bother to buy them elsewhere.

The quality is not good, hers are all things that contain aura, and only her wheat seeds and corn crumbs can make high-quality sugar.

So he asked, "How much do you sell wheat seeds and jade pieces for a catty in the grain store?"

"Five Wens of Wheat Seeds, Three Wens of Cracked Corn"

"Come to buy from me in the future, and I will provide you with the materials, four wen of wheat seeds and two wen of corn grits, that's great"

"Little boss, you don't have to help us like this, just pay the same price as them."

"I grew it myself, and I didn't buy it. It's much better to sell it to my own people at a cheaper price than to sell it to others."

In this way, she got another job of selling wheat seeds and corn crumbs, and also an extra income.

Looking at the big vat in the house, the dried vegetables on the kang, and herself busy like a dog every day, she felt that she needed to recruit more people.

Recruiting people is not the most important thing, what is needed most now is space, and there is no room for so many tanks at home.

There is an urgent need for a workshop and a warehouse. I can no longer continue to work at home. After all, this is a place for eating and living, and the smell of pickles is not good.

So, she took some time to go to the dentist again.

The steward laughed as soon as he saw her, Xi'er's appearance was so deep in his memory that he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

"Hey, little girl, are you visiting our dental clinic again?"

"Yes, are there any vacant houses?"

"No, our town is not big, existing housing is very tight, there is still land to buy"

"Then is it still too late to build a house?"

"It's too late to build after the end of the month. If it's built now, it's still too late. The land hasn't frozen yet."

"I want to build a workshop and then a warehouse, is that feasible?"

The steward thought for a while, "If there are many people, a workshop and a warehouse can be built in ten days."

"You also care about this?"

"Yeah? Dentistry, everything related to housing, land, and people is involved."

"Okay, where is the open space, let me see, it's better to be closer to my house, it's convenient"

"Hey, why don't you say you're a lucky girl? The land is next to the southern town sign. If you buy it, you can build a shop. It's next to the official road."

"how many?"

"Ten acres"

"So much? I don't farm land. What do I need so much land for? How do I pay taxes after I buy it?"

"If you want to build a workshop or a warehouse, you don't have to pay grain tax. You can just pay the government ten taels of silver every year."

"The warehouse too?"

"No, a family has registered a workshop, no matter how many it is, it is a tax of ten taels, the warehouse is not counted, and it is registered as a residence in the government."

"Oh, so that's the case. I didn't expect the court to tax workshops."

"That's reasonable. Your workshop is used for business to make money, and you should pay taxes to the court."

"Understood, do the math for me, divide this ten acres of land into ten pieces, build six warehouses, and four workshops, how much money will it cost?"

"Give full authority to us?"

Xi'er nodded, "Well, the price should be reasonable, I'm poor."

The steward was overjoyed, and hurriedly called two people to help him with the calculation. Half an hour later, he handed the price list to Xi'er.

"Girl, please take a look"

Xi'er took it over and glanced at ten lines, "Why is this place so much more expensive than the one behind my house?"

"It's next to the official road. Look, I'll build you a shop facing the street. If you don't need it, you can rent it out. There's a gate here for vehicles and goods. Behind it are three There are three side-by-side workshops, and behind them are three side-by-side warehouses. The ten mu of land is divided into nine equal parts. This is a drawing based on the shape of the land."

It looked really good, Xi'er was a little tempted.

"It's just too expensive, I don't have much money on hand"

The steward was a little anxious when he heard it, "It's not expensive, it's a real price, I'm afraid that you say it's too high, and when you do the calculations, you don't dare to increase the price.

Look at this warehouse and workshop, there is a lot of space inside, and there are several main beams on it. There are more wooden boats than ordinary houses, and more craftsmen are needed.

Especially the wall must be thick, otherwise it will not be able to support the main beam, and the foundation will have to be deep. Girl, I am not asking for anything. Even if you use this house for 100 years, it will not break . "

Xi'er knew that he didn't ask for much money, and she really didn't have much money on her, but she was very tempted, so she gritted her teeth and said.
