Sign-in space: I grew rich in ancient times

Chapter 107 Raising Food
After a pause, Gu Xinfang continued: "However, it is better to diversify food, only corn and rice, the choice is small, I think white flour should be added, and millet for nourishment.

We can’t use all the money in our hands. Let’s keep 200 taels as a reserve fund, and the remaining 800 taels can’t be used to buy food. In a short period of time, in Lingwu County, we can’t get so much food. Buy as much as you can, let's get a batch of cloth for the rest of the money, I can think of a way for the cloth, but for the food, I have to borrow Uncle Chen's contacts, let's tentatively choose these five items for now. "

Chen Huiyin nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Tang Yaoling: "Dalang, you need to tell your husband about the situation of the mutual market in Daqing Town, and ask him to help us collect information."

Tang Yao said lightly: "No problem, leave this matter to me."

After figuring out the money in her hand and the type of goods she needed, Chen Huiyin came to the kitchen and saw her parents washing the dishes, so she rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to help, saying at the same time: "Father, Auntie, sister Gu and I shared If we can take out 1000 taels of silver, we plan to keep 200 taels of silver as reserve funds, and the remaining 800 taels will be used to buy goods. We tentatively ordered five goods, namely rice, white flour, millet, corn and cloth.”

Chen Boyu thought for a while before he said, "So how much cornmeal do you want to buy with your family?"

Chen Huiyin smiled and was very courteous: "Father, we can eat all the corn stock at home, that is, other grains. We don't have a channel to get them at a cheap price, so I want to ask Dad to come forward."

This idea came to Chen Huiyin's mind as soon as he went out after discussing with his friends. There is a lot of corn in stock at home. There are more than 1000 shi. You can get the goods directly from home. It's just that there are several other types of grain. To get the price, Dad needs to come forward, but this matter is a bit embarrassing for Dad, so she subconsciously smiled and flattered her.

Chen Boyu didn't expect his daughter to put her idea on his head, and she smiled so flatteringly, which made him a little dumbfounded, so he asked her calmly: "You won't eat a thousand stones of corn at once, even if Let’s just take [-] shi this time, add rice, white flour, and millet, and estimate a total of [-] shi. In this way, the food will be [-] shi, not counting the cloth.

Even if each cart is pulled by two oxen, and the pulling force is about [-] shi, it will take [-] carts, and the cloth is estimated to be about [-] carts.

This is not a small caravan. Do you think that with the strength of the five of you, you can take care of the cargo of more than 60 cars? "

Chen Huiyin really hasn't considered this aspect yet, more than 60 cars, at least one car, guarded by two skilled people, also needs 50 NO.[-] people, not to mention that for the sake of insurance, it is impossible for each car to Arrange two people to accompany the car. In this way, it will cost a lot of money just to hire people.

Seeing that his daughter finally realized the problem, Chen Boyu continued: "It's the first time to do business in Daqing Town's Mutual Market. Even if your husband can give you detailed information on Daqing Town's Mutual Market, I suggest that you should focus on safety, and trucks are the best. Don't exceed five vehicles, so you can hire twenty people, and then expand the scale after the business road goes smoothly."

Zhou Jinghao, who was quarreling with her husband, did not expect her daughter to have such a big heart, so she put aside the awkwardness for a while, and echoed: "Sister Qiao, there is an old saying that don't put eggs in one basket, the only thing left by your sister is Capital needs to be allocated carefully, and you can go back and discuss the specific quantities of various goods."

Mommy's words made Chen Huiyin realize that she was thinking too simply. She nodded obediently, turned around and went back to the study. The friends were still waiting for news from her, so they didn't leave.

As soon as he entered the study, Chen Huiyin said to Gu Xinfang: "Sister Gu, I have already told my father about the matter, and my father suggested that we should not make the stall too big for the first time, and my father suggested that we should not exceed five trucks.

A Niang also asked me to remind you to allocate the money in your hands carefully, and don't invest all of it in the mutual market in Daqing Town at one go, so let's discuss the specific quantities of various goods. "

Then the five teenagers and girls began to write and calculate. There were only five trucks of this kind pulled by two oxen.

Chen Huiyin can't help but miss the trucks from his previous life. There are large, medium and small trucks of various models and tonnages. Don't choose too many, but in this era of animal power, there are no models...

Thinking of this, Chen Huiyin paused. There is no type of truck here. She can create it, widen and lengthen the truck, and the carrying capacity will increase. The two-ox cart can also be changed to a four-ox cart, and the problem will be solved. That's right, five cars are still five cars, it's not too much, there's nothing wrong with it.

Seeing Chen Huiyin's sparkling eyes, the other four, Tang Yaoling, knew her friends best, and said expectantly, "Sister Qiao, have you thought of a solution?"

Chen Huiyin nodded: "Five cars is the bottom line set by my father. I also think that if it exceeds this number, the stall is too big. We may not be able to take care of it. The number of cars cannot be increased, so we can only increase the number of cars. If we think about it, we can widen and expand the truck, and the two-ox cart can be changed into a four-ox cart, so that the cargo capacity can be doubled."

Having said that, Chen Huiyin paused, and then continued: "However, it is not enough to widen and lengthen the body of the truck. The carrying capacity needs to be calculated. Give me a day, and I promise to design the car. Find a carpenter to order."

Gu Xinfang was the first to speak: "The original amount will be doubled. I will go to the county seat tomorrow to raise money first and then order cloth. I will leave the rest to you."

Tang Yaoling said conveniently, "I'll go find my husband later and ask him to help collect information about the mutual market in Daqing Town."

Mu Yang saw that they had divided tasks, so he pointed to himself and Wei Chen: "Then what can we do?"

Tang Yaoling didn't think about it either, so he subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Huiyin, but Chen Huiyin was full of formulas at the moment, and didn't pay attention to Tang Yaoling's gaze.

He was silent, thought for a while, and then said to Mu Yang and Wei Chen: "You two will escort Sister Gu into the city tomorrow."

Mu Yang and Wei Chen naturally had no objection, and then turned their heads to look at Gu Xinfang. Gu Xinfang instantly understood their meaning. I know in my heart that with you guys accompanying me into the city, I really feel at ease."

The matter was settled in this way, and then everyone dispersed, leaving the study room empty for Chen Huiyin to write, calculate and draw.

That night, Chen Huiyin wrote and calculated until very late before going back to her room to rest. The next day, she spent half a day drawing the truck, and then handed over the drawing to Dad, asking him to help find a craftsman to order.
