Chapter 285: Step by Step

During the season when people go to the mountains to collect mountain products, the shops in Su Qingyu Market Town have posted information about collecting nuts and mountain products. ReadМ

Shopkeeper Ding also checked out at the same time on the Yongfeng.

The two acquisition prices are the same.

Su Qingyu will set aside a share for the shops in Renzhou City to sell the goods, and a share for other merchants to get goods from her.

Manager Li can't do Quan Shuochao's business, and he is not the only merchant in Renzhou City.

After Su Qingyu asked him, he sold some mountain nuts in Renzhou City.

Yongfenghao is also willing to give up its regional market share that it is not involved in to other merchants.

This is what Pei Nian, the governor of Renzhou, wants to see.

The first step is to solve the food and clothing problem of the people in the boundary. After the food problem is solved, the people in the boundary should be kept within the territory and not move around.

The second step is to have people, and then gradually restore people's livelihood.

The third step is to develop the economy when people are stabilized and people's livelihood is restored.

No local government official wants to see the desolate scene in the territory under his jurisdiction, which is just a corpse meal, and the government officials who don't want to do anything don't want to see this kind of scene.

The ripening time of mountain products in the mountains varies from September until the first snowfall. The time span is long.

During this period, the Su family drove excitedly for several days to the mountains. The thousands of acres of fertile land bought by Su Qingyu in Renzhou City were also in the late rice harvest season.

There are many people who are inspired by the news.

There were also people who wanted to snatch the harvest in the middle of the night, but they were driven away by people sent by the governor's office and Su Qingyu.

Although there are some losses, they are still within the tolerance range.

It is also the farmers who rent the fields.

Most of the people who signed the lease chose to ask for food instead of wages. If you ask for wages, who knows how high the price of food will rise? What if the wages you get are not enough to buy food?

Might as well ask for food.

If the fields cannot harvest food, they will not have enough to eat. Therefore, the farmers who rent the property also take precautions day and night, and they value the food in the fields more than anything else.

Fortunately, the situation was relatively stable during this period, and there were not so many refugees, hungry people, and mobs, which gave Su Qingyu a good harvest.

Although there are scattered fields that have been plundered, they are only small and scattered areas. The overall loss is not big.

Su Qingyu hurriedly organized people to collect...

After half a month of busy work, all 6,000 acres of rice have been harvested.

Because it was planted late, there was no way to arrange two crops of rice. But this season's output alone made Pei Nianle blossom.

Mrs. Ma also had wind on her feet. She kept smiling every day. She personally arranged for Su Qingyu's family and packed all kinds of good things for her.

Six thousand acres, with an average yield of nearly four dan per mu. After deducting what was paid to the tenants, Su Qingyu still had 12,000 dan in hand.

I transported two thousand stones back to the village and prepared to store them.

Five thousand stones were sold to Manager Li at the price of one stone and one tael of silver. Got five thousand taels of silver.

The other five thousand stones were given to Ma Xin and asked him to arrange for them to be shipped to Ma Mingwen.

She also left enough seeds of the upland rice she had obtained in the mountains before, and sold the rest to Manager Li, getting nearly three thousand taels.

The upland rice in the mountains was sold for only 800 coins and one stone, which made Su's mother talk about her for several days.

Why not keep the upland rice for home use? It would be great if you sell the grain you get outside the mountains, and you can get some more money.

What my family eats is not what I eat.

And the taste of upland rice is also very good.

But Su Qingnao didn't listen to her.

Why eat the bad-tasting rice instead of eating the rice that has a better taste? The family also left two thousand stones, which was enough for the whole family to eat.

Su's mother kept saying that she was a prodigal.

I don’t know that firewood and rice are difficult.

Su Qingyao remembered that her mother was the same way in the past. They were not allowed to eat the good things at home during the New Year, saying that they would keep them for guests. I only eat the ones that are not good in quality.

It’s the same thing, what can’t be eaten? Why should we choose the good ones?

Su Qingyu didn't.

Why can’t you eat your own good stuff? Want to eat something bad? Leave the good ones for others to eat?

What's the point?

I can't get used to her problem.

It seems that all mothers in the world, mothers who have lived through hard times, are all the same.

Su's father looked at the harvest and was very happy all day long, no matter what. When Su's mother said to do this, he nodded, "Okay, okay, okay." When Su Qingyu said this, he nodded, "Okay, okay."

Still enjoying it, he personally took people to store food.

After hiding the food, I felt so happy that I couldn't help but look at it every day. Even if the entrance to the cave is sealed, I still go to see it every day, and I am happy to see a tight lock.

The family got a lot of food and a lot of wild products.

For the servants of Xingengzhai, Su Qingyu promised them to keep half of the food for themselves and send the other half to their homes. Su Qingyu did not want to sell it, and planned to keep it for her own consumption.

When the courtyard was first built, Xiang Shang was ordered to leave enough space for the warehouse, so the warehouse in the backyard was very large.

Su's mother and Su Qingliu, together with Lu and Ruyi, picked through all kinds of wild goods every day.

The ones that can be kept are sealed in jars and put in the warehouse, and the ones that cannot be kept are put in the kitchen to be eaten by the family in the near future.

The aroma of various nuts fills the house every day and spreads far and wide.

The servants in Xingengzhai usually have no worries about food and clothing, and live in comfort. Some of the goods they pick up are sold for money, but they also leave a lot for their own families. Even families with children are willing to leave enough food.

They all came to Su's house to learn how to fry nuts and wild animals. Mother Su and Mrs. Lu cheerfully teach others how to stir-fry and make it more delicious every day.

The entire Xingenzhai is filled with various fragrances every day, attracting birds to follow them.

Su Qing'an didn't keep Liang Si's goods, and she couldn't bear to eat them. She took the mountain goods she picked up to the market to sell.

Liang Si was the only one who would plan and calculate the household expenses.

Even if there was no stock at home, it didn't prevent Liang Chenshi from having food every day.

First, she came to Su's house every day to chat with Su's mother and others.

Su's mother was rich and had no shortage of food and drink. Her children and husband were around, and she lived a happy life. She was also open-minded and sympathetic to her, so she stuffed Liang Chenshi with food.

Second, Liang Chenshi also loved to visit people everywhere, not only to Su's house, but also to other people's houses. She looked down on others and loved to visit people. Some people saw that she was pitiful and pitied her and her mother and daughter who were helpless, and stuffed her with a lot of food.

So Su Qing'an often saw her leaning against the door, holding a handful of nuts and eating, looking in the direction of her home.

Su Qing'an didn't care about these things, and she didn't say anything about Su Dahu's daily care for the Liang family.

Su Dahu is an adult man, and it is his freedom to eat wherever he likes.

She is very busy.

In Renzhou City, most people can get enough food and clothing this year. So there is a bit of liveliness in the city.

After the mountain products and nuts were transported to the city, Xiang Shang and Wei Fuchang showed Su Qing'an the account book.

Su Qing'an was very surprised to see the numbers in the account book.

This autumn, the turnover doubled! Is everyone preparing to stock up for the winter, or is it because they have money and are willing to eat and drink?

The net profit of the shop, which used to be less than 100 taels a month, has now risen sharply and more than doubled.

A shop selling snacks can make a net profit of several taels or more a day, and Su Qing'an is very satisfied.

In this troubled time of bad years, it is very promising.

After this busy season, the wax flowers that Su Qingmei had been looking forward to for half a year were finally ready to be harvested.
