How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 68 Painting a pie for the whole village
I heard people say that the daughter-in-law of Chen Yixuan's family and her sister-in-law are very smart and capable. Together, the two women built a loom that was larger than a person and taller than a person. The villagers in Chenjia Village were amazed. After dinner, everyone went to Chen Yixuan's house to watch the fun.

"Oh my, this is really a loom that can weave cloth!! My ancestor, Shuanzi, why did you find such a smart wife back then? This is a golden hen that can lay eggs. Woolen cloth!……"

Chen Feiyan, who was busy weaving on the side, felt very unhappy when she heard that the group of men and women in front of her were buzzing like a swarm of flies and calling her a golden hen.

Seeing that some people were touching her loom, and some were mean-spirited and kicked her from time to time, Chen Feiyan immediately realized that some people in the village had bad intentions.

Chen Feiyan used to watch social news regularly.

Some people with bad consciences in the countryside like to do things that harm others but are not beneficial to themselves.

Some rural families have made a fortune by raising fish in their homes. The people in the same village and the neighboring village are jealous and hate their family's fortune, so they will go to their fish ponds in the middle of the night and poison them.

Some rural people raise dozens or even hundreds of sheep and live a pretty good life. People who are jealous of their family's better life than their own will run to other people's houses when others are sleeping, that is, in the middle of the night. All the people's sheep were poisoned.

It was also the wealthy rural people who leased hundreds of acres of land.

The food you have planted is about to be harvested.People from the same village or the next village would run to his house with bags, as if harvesting their own grain, and steal one or two bags home.

Stealing vegetables from other people's fields, stealing corn from other people's fields.They can steal all the grain and fruits stolen from other people's fields in just one night.

They are all from rural areas, and Chen Feiyan knows in her heart that the talents of rural people cannot be underestimated.

So, before other villagers had any murderous intentions, Chen Feiyan suddenly thought of an idea to kill two birds with one stone.

She pulled Chen Yixuan to her side, leaned into his ear, and whispered something.

Soon, Chen Yixuan led her to the village chief Chen Qiliang and several clan elders.

Under the surprised eyes of these old men, Chen Feiyan said to them confidently with a smile on her lips.

"Dear village chief and respected clan elders, as a member of Chenjia Village, our family knows... whether we are good on our own or not, only when everyone is good is it truly good."

"My sister-in-law and I, as well as my husband and uncle, spent a long time and a lot of hard work, and finally built such a weaving machine by ourselves at the cost of three and a half taels of silver. machine."

"To tell you the truth, if you really buy this loom, it will cost you six to seven taels of silver. But now, through our efforts, it is more than half cheaper."

Chen Qiliang is a business-savvy person.

As soon as he heard such words, his eyes immediately turned green.

This is a way to make a lot of money!
If Chen Yixuan and his family could get the technology to make looms, their whole family would no longer have to work in the fields.

From now on, they can lie down at home every day and live a good life where they can put on their coats, put out their hands for food, and open their mouths.

He could think of it, and Yu Sucen standing beside him could think of it even more.

Yu Sucen is a man of great knowledge.

He could vaguely see that there was something wrong with the loom in front of him.

So, he suddenly spoke bluntly: "The loom you made seems a little different from what I have seen elsewhere."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiliang immediately asked: "What's the difference?"

Yu Sucen looked at Chen Feiyan and replied: "The loom in front of me seems to be smaller than those I have seen before. I feel that the craftsmanship of this loom has been simplified."

Chen Qiliang couldn't understand the difference.

So, he raised his eyes and looked at him eagerly.I hope he can continue to talk in depth.

However, Yu Sucen suddenly shut his mouth.

Chen Feiyan on the side nodded and said: "I have indeed simplified this loom. However, it will not affect our use."

"With this loom, we can weave the cotton-padded clothes, quilts, quilts, and cotton shoes that our family needs every year. In the future, our family will not have to spend money to buy them. If the family can be more diligent, , maybe we can come up with extra cloth and sell it in the county town." Chen Yixing listened and nodded.

"My wife's family used to run a cloth shop in the county town, and they specialized in selling cotton cloth. As long as the family has a loom, they can earn at least two taels of silver in a year."

After hearing this, Chen Qiliang stretched out a few fingers and made a calculation.

Can you earn two taels of silver a year?
If his family asked Chen Yixuan to build a loom out of wood, it would only take him a year and a half to make back the money?

As long as this loom doesn't break down, he can earn an extra two taels of silver every year from now on.

When he thought that the loom was actually a golden hen that could lay golden eggs, the village chief Chen Qiliang suddenly spoke.

"Shuanzi, I will bring you two taels of silver later. Do me an extra favor and make a loom for our family."

When Chen Yixuan heard this, he did not agree directly.Instead, he turned his head and looked at Chen Feiyan.

What he meant was simple.He felt that he had to listen to his wife on this matter.

The village chief, Chen Qiliang, and several other clan elders were all heartbroken to see him as a grown-up man with a weak husband.

What a pity, what a pity.

It bothered them that a man who was over nine feet tall was willing to listen to a woman who was six feet tall.

Just when Chen Qiliang couldn't hold it in anymore and scolded Chen Yixuan, Chen Feiyan suddenly said something unexpected.

"Village chief, it's okay to ask our family to help with this. However, our family also needs your family's help."

Chen Qiliang wondered: "What can our family do to help your family?"

Chen Feiyan smiled: "Village chief, look at our family, isn't it because we don't have enough manpower? Our new house and yard are not finished yet."

Speaking of this, Chen Feiyan suddenly promised seriously.

"Let's do this. From now on, if anyone is willing to help our family, they can pay two taels of silver and let our family help them make looms."

Hearing this, the entire Chenjia Village villagers went crazy discussing it.

A new loom costs only two taels of silver, so doesn’t his family have to pay for it?

Someone else said that this Shuanzi's wife must have felt that most people in their village couldn't afford two taels of silver, so she dared to make such a guarantee.

Some people are thinking that this trick of Shuanzi's daughter-in-law is really amazing.

Originally, many people in the village thought that their family was an outsider. Seeing that their family was getting poorer and poorer, many people had the idea of ​​making a huge fortune.Now that I have seen with my own eyes that they have made looms again and have the ability to make a lot of money, some evil-hearted people have murderous intentions...

But now Shuanzi's wife has made such a promise.

More or less everyone present had some miscellaneous ideas.

In fact, two taels of silver is neither too much nor too little.

How about saving some money at home and borrowing it from others?
Scrap together a few taels of silver and ask her family to help build a loom?

If you have a loom at home, you can earn two taels of silver every year.Their family can make back its investment in one year.

This is much more cost-effective than buying a cow...

Because of greed and the desire to make a steady stream of money, all the villagers present in Chenjia Village looked at Chen Yixuan's family as if they were looking at the God of Wealth, green as a wolf.
