The husband and wife made money again after one trip. Shao Yunan decisively asked Wang Shijing to buy cattle, and the two came to the place where livestock was sold. Shao Yunan covered his nose with a handkerchief, Wang Shijing told him to wait outside, he went to buy it, Shao Yunan thought about it or went to have a look.

Cow is a very important production tool. It is uniformly sold by the government, and most of the cattle sold are calves. Sometimes, in order to encourage farmers to cultivate more land and grow more grains, the imperial court will subsidize farmers to buy cows, but that is because the imperial court has money. , when the treasury is full. In recent years, the treasury has been empty, taxes have increased, and prices have risen. The cattle that used to be at most ten dollars a head have soared to twenty-five dollars a head, which costs twenty-five taels of silver. A calf is twenty-five taels, and an ordinary farmer can earn less than twenty-five taels in two years. If you can't buy cattle, you can't farm more land, you can't produce more food, you can't make more money, and you can't pay more taxes. This is a vicious circle. There are many people watching this street, but very few people buy it.

Wang Shijing and Shaoyun picked a calf. Shao Yunan thought it would be best to have one male and one female, but it was too dazzling, so he bought the first female first. Wait until they "earn the money" before buying the first male. He spent another five taels of silver to buy two sheep, a male and a female. This Yangzhuang family bought it mainly for goat milk. There were not many people who bought it. Now the times are not good, and no one cares, so it is cheap.

The total number of cattle and sheep is thirty-two. The family is now small and unmanned. Pigs, chickens and ducks are not considered for the time being. If you want to eat chicken, eggs, etc., you can buy it directly from the villagers. It's not bad anyway.

Shao Yunan asked Wang Shijing to take him to a china shop to buy dozens of tea tins, large and small, and ordered six large wine barrels and ten small wine barrels. The wine barrel that Shao Yunan wants needs to have a switch faucet, so that it is convenient to pick up the wine. The wine barrels here all have a hole in the barrel, which is plugged with a wooden stopper. Shao Yunan talked to the shopkeeper and drew a sketch. It is unrealistic to use metal for the faucet, so it can only be made of wood. Shao Yunan thought of a water dispenser. The faucet that opens up and down, and explains the principle of this switch, the shopkeeper is very curious to see it, so it is indeed more convenient to pick up wine.

At the moment, the shop owner reached a contract agreement with Zhao Yun's case. Shao Yunan will only leave the design of this wine barrel to them, unless others buy it and study it. Shao Yunan didn't care about the money either, and he would probably have to deal with this shopkeeper for a long time in the future. Shao Yunan behaved generously, and the shopkeeper waived the money for all the china and wine barrels that Shao Yunan bought this time. In the future, as long as Shao Yunan comes to the store to buy things, they will all be calculated according to the cheapest.

Shao Yunan was very happy, and today was really pleasantly surprised. It would take fifteen days at the earliest for the custom-made wine barrels to arrive. Shao Yunan calculated the time, ordered ten more large wine barrels, and bought five ready-made wine barrels. For the fifteen wine barrels, Shao Yunan didn't let the shopkeeper waive the order, but the shopkeeper gave the best price, a total of nine taels of silver. The wine barrels should be customized. The larger the wine barrels, the higher the requirements for craftsmanship and the higher the price. The shopkeeper also said that when the customized wine barrels are ready, he will send them to Xiushui Village together. Shao Yunan does not need special Take a trip. Shao Yunan only felt that the ancients were real, and the most rare thing was that the ancients had a strong awareness of intellectual property rights.

Five large wine barrels plus dozens of tea tins, and the borrowed bullock cart was full again. Wang Shijing bought a calf and stopped pulling a cart for it for the time being. The two bought some meat and snacks, and then drove the ox cart and the three livestock they had just bought home.

Back in the village, it is natural to watch and discuss. The news of Wang Shijing's purchase of land had already spread. After all, Li Zheng couldn't avoid people when he took him to survey the land. The villagers talked a lot, envy, jealousy and hatred. After Wang Shijing's family split, he pulled a carload of things to his house, not to mention how long it took. Not only did he buy the place he lives now, but he also bought a homestead and ten acres of mountains, and this time he even bought Niuhe Sheep, this is all expensive.

Some people speculate how much money Wang Shijing's stones were sold for, and some people speculate that Wang Shijing must have brought back a lot of money. Isn't this war paid for by the army? There are a lot of people who talk sour words, so it's no wonder that Mrs. Wang will make trouble. Why should Wang Shijing be so rich? Why should he give some to his mother? Some people sympathize with Mrs. Wang for marrying a powerful daughter-in-law and giving away her son's money. all taken.

Shao Yunan automatically closed his ears to these remarks. He, a modern talent, will not be affected by these rumors. The household registration management of Dayan is strict, but there are also loopholes in the strictness. As long as the family has land, he can move to the county or the state capital, as long as you have money. If Wang Qing has passed the examination for a title higher than Juren in the future, he can spend money to donate an official to Wang Qing, and then the family will follow Wang Qing, and the household registration can also be removed.

The couple went home together first, and the cattle and sheep were arranged in the open space at the back of the house, and the purchased things were probably put away. The two went to Wang Xing's house to return the cattle together. Of course, a package of grateful snacks is indispensable. It can be said that since Wang Shijing got married, Aunt Wang's family has eaten more dim sum than they have eaten in their entire lives. As a result, Fourth Aunt Wang and Fourth Uncle Wang were happy when they saw Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing. Wang Xing is always on the go, and use it casually.

Sitting at Aunt Wang's house for a while, Shao Yunan first said that the county magistrate also reprimanded them when they called them in the past. It would be wrong to go to the county school to "make trouble". I just think that the magistrate is really reasonable. To be honest, some of the Wang clan were dissatisfied with Wang Dali's family, and some were dissatisfied with the patriarch Wang Wenhe. In the years when Wang Shijing was away, the patriarch forced people to do farm work for Wang Dali's family every year, but not only could he not get a single copper plate, but he didn't even have saliva. When Wang Tianyan was busy with farming, he either twisted his leg or slapped his foot, or he was lazy and slippery, and Guo Zhaodi didn't go out.

Who has no land? Whose farm is staffed when it's busy? Wang Wenhe used Wang Zhisong's fame to persuade every time, even if the clansmen wanted to see it in the future, but it was many times, how could there be no complaints. Fourth Uncle Wang and Wang Xing were also asked by the patriarch to go to Wang Dali's house to help, and Fourth Aunt Wang was also not easy to mess with. Their family didn't care about Wang Zhisong's fame, and later Wang Wenhe didn't ask their men to help. But not everyone has a powerful Fourth Aunt Wang. There are people who marry male wives, Wang Wenhe said, both of them are men, so it is not easy to refuse.

Following Aunt Wang's words, Shao Yunan pretended to casually tell the design of the wine barrel he sold, and the shop owner generously gave him a sum of money, otherwise he wouldn't be able to buy cattle and sheep today. Aunt Wang asked what design drawings could still be given money, and Shao Yunan said that he had signed a contract with others and could not tell others. If he bought it back in the future, he would show it to everyone. Aunt Wang was amazed again and again, and straightly asked how Shao Yunan was so powerful. Wang Shijing married a capable daughter-in-law, and Wang Shijing, who was always silent on the side, had a satisfied smile in his eyes.

Using Aunt Wang's mouth to spread something out, Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing went to Lizheng's house. Once they got there, the unusually kind smile and hospitality came again. Shao Yunan kept rubbing his arms and had to cry: "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, if you keep doing this, I won't tell you the good news that I brought back."

"What is the good news?" Aunt Zhao Liu took Shao Yunan and walked into the house.

Shao Yunan hugged Nizi who came out of the house and said, "Don't be so polite, I'll just say it."

"Hehehe..."

Wang Ishijing and Li Zheng then entered the room. Today I have collected some goat's milk fruit and wild peaches, mostly picked from the mountains by the villagers. Zhao Yuande and Zhao He are washing the fruit in the backyard and drying it. Hearing that Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing were coming, the two hurriedly packed up the processed fruit and washed their hands.

Everyone sat down, and Aunt Zhao Liu hurriedly asked, "Yun An, what's the good news?"

Zhao Yuande and Zhao He were a little puzzled. Shao Yunan didn't give a **** anymore and said, "The shopkeeper Xu of Yizhangxuan wants to collect jam. It is tentatively set at 400 yuan for a pound of goat's milk jam and 800 yuan for a pound of peach jam."

"..." The scene was silent for a while, Shao Yunan drank water with a smile, and remained silent. After a few breaths, several exclamations sounded: "What?! Goat's milk jam is 400 yuan per pound, and peach jam is 800 yuan per pound?"

Aunt Zhao Liu's voice trembled, and Li Zhengdashu and Zhao Yuande even widened their eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears. Shao Yunan snorted a few times and nodded: "Yes, goat's milk jam is 400 cents a pound, peach jam is 800 cents a pound, you heard it right, it's good news."

Zhao He grabbed Shao Yunan and said, "Yunan, are you kidding me? It's so expensive? This, how is this possible!"

Zhao Yuande looked at Wang Shijing eagerly: "Ishijing, is this true?"

Wang Shijing nodded: "Really. Yun An sent the jam to Diezhuang Pavilion Zeng Zhanggui, seeing that the jam was rare, Zeng Zhanggui called the shopkeeper Xu of Yizhangxuan, and when the shopkeeper Xu wanted to accept the jam, Yunan would replace it You set a price with shopkeeper Xu."

The four members of Li Zheng's family were all dizzy, and Aunt Zhao Liu couldn't even react. Shao Yunan explained the whole thing in detail, and said: "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, don't blame me for pressing the price. This pound of fruit can basically make a pound of jam. It's rare now, let's The premium can be raised high, but our price is high, and the premium sold at Yizhangxuan will be even higher. How many people will be able to afford it by then. No one will buy this jam. Not worth the money. What we're going to do is keep this jam business going for a long time.

Now that there are fewer and fewer fruits, this jam is sold at this price. If there are many fruits, the price has to go down. Shopkeeper Xu also said that they will accept it from you in the future. I'm also preventing someone from figuring out what to do with this jam, driving down the extra money, and disrupting your business. We set the price more flexible, and people can feel our sincerity. "

Li Zheng nodded vigorously immediately: "You are right. We don't understand these things, and we have to help Yun An to make up our minds in the future."

Aunt Zhao Liu can't speak anymore: "This, this, this is settled? It's so expensive!"

None of the four here blamed Shao Yunan for lowering the price so much. To tell the truth, if it really sells at the price proposed by the shopkeeper Xu, the Lizheng family will not want to sleep in peace.

Shao Yunan said with a smile, "Yes, the buyer and the price have all been decided. Brother He Zi will first make a pound of goat's milk and peach sauce and take it to Yizhangxuan to show it to Shopkeeper Xu. I will also talk to Shopkeeper Xu. As I said, although the method of making jam is the same, the taste will definitely be different for different people. Don't use well water at home for this jam, but use mountain spring water. The better the water, the better the jam. Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, if you have a way, go and collect some jujubes and hawthorns. There are no fruits in winter. These jujubes and hawthorns are durable. In winter, you can make red dates and hawthorns. The red dates can be dried in the sun. Red dates. Try to make sure that there is jam all year round.”

The four members of the Zhao family nodded again and again, and Aunt Zhao Liu's tears were all excited. Li Zheng said: "Yunan, the profit of this percentage is too small. Whatever fruit you want to receive, you can say it, it will not be your money. This extra money is much higher than we thought, we still have five or five cents, otherwise this I don't feel comfortable doing business."

Who would have thought that the price of this jam was so high that Uncle Lizheng's hands were shaking. Not to mention Lizheng, Zhao Yuande's hands were shaking because of his extreme excitement and anticipation for his future life. Aunt Zhao Liu and Zhao He both said that they must give more money. Zhao Yuande said: "I discussed with my father before that if this jam can really be sold, there are few people in the village who say that if you charge more money, we have the confidence to deal with it."

Shao Yunan also thought of this situation. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's do it. Uncle Zhao, we both sign a contract. The 10% profit will remain the same, but I will only charge for two years. After two years, I won't take a penny. This is how I make jam. You don't have to give me the money now. You can give it to me when you sell the jam and earn money. You can also give it to me in installments. I have money on hand now, so I don't need it urgently. The five or five cents are fine. I also have something to trouble you. Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao and Brother Zhao. I also need to collect some goat milk fruit every year. I don’t make jam, and I have to make money for other things. But my family is just me and Brother Ishii, not as good as Uncle Zhao. Your family has a way to go, so you can help me collect it."

In addition, I also want to collect some tea leaves, but there are too few tea trees in our village. If possible, I will go to other villages to collect them. This also requires the help of Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao and Brother Zhao. To the outside world, you said that you spent 300 taels of silver to buy my prescription and paid it all in one lump sum, because I found the buyer, and you have to give me 20% of the commission for each order. Moreover, the deed of Yizhangxuan also stated that it was only collected from your family. Even if some people are dissatisfied, they can stop their mouths if they move their minds. If you want to do jam business, give me three hundred taels first, and I don't include buyers. Also lest people always guess where I got the money. "

"You still suffer." Uncle Lizheng hesitated.

Wang Shijing said: "Uncle Zhao, if my family does business, it will only cause trouble, and only if you do it first, we can follow up with other businesses with confidence. It seems that my family has suffered a loss, but in fact Uncle Zhao, you have to bear a lot of trouble, and you have to deal with the people in the village. In fact, you are at a loss. Just listen to Yun An. "

"Uncle Zhao, that's the deal. Brother Yuande is going to write the deed."

Zhao Yuande looked at his father. Uncle Lizheng took a deep look at Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing, who had serious faces, and took a deep breath: "Yunan, Ishijing, I'll take this love from Uncle Zhao. I'll let you do it!"

Shao Yunan laughed, Aunt Zhao Liu laughed, and Zhao He also laughed. Zhao Yuande got up and excitedly went to write the deed. Shao Yunan went on to say: "Brother Hezi, you should make two bottles each first, don't make more, I'll go with you tomorrow. The jam produced simply by doing this will go bad in a few days, and you can eat at most one in the ice cellar. Month. If you want to do business, you have to use a special method of insurance, and you have to do insurance as soon as it is done. Manager Xu thinks that your parents are doing it all right, and I will guide you when you start the official production. "

"Yun An, thank you so much." Zhao He smiled so much that he could not see his eyes.

Zhao Yuande wrote the deed, and Shao Yunan meant that he only needed to write one hundred taels of how to buy it, but he wrote down the fruit that he received every year, and no matter what the fruit was, he would give 10% to Shao Yunan. Zhao Yuande insisted, and Shao Yunan signed the deed. The Lizheng family couldn't take out a hundred taels at a time. Shao Yunan asked them to sell the jam before giving them the money. Anyway, this was a private transaction. If he said it, others would still be able to check his wallet.

Before the jam was made, the buyer had already been found, and the price had been negotiated. The last trace of anxiety in the Lizheng family was completely eliminated. That night, the Lizheng family directly left Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing to eat at home. Anyway, Wang Qing and Nizi happened to be here. After eating, Zhao Yunxiao instructed Zhao He to make jam from start to finish on the spot, and Zhao Yuande personally picked the spring water and came back.

The jam made tasted worse than that made by Shao Yunan. After all, Shao Yunan made it with water mixed with spiritual spring water. But if you haven't eaten Shao Yunan's, Zhao He's taste is also very good. Shao Yunan also came up with an idea to add sweet-scented osmanthus to the goat milk jam and peach jam. This jam with sweet-scented osmanthus tastes even more unique. Four bottles of jam, Shao Yunan will go to Yizhangxuan with Zhao Yuande and Zhao He tomorrow morning.

Shao Yunan also said that it is up to the Lizheng family to decide whether to teach this jam method to his own clan. Anyway, he sold the recipe for a hundred or two, and it doesn't matter what the family in this recipe wants to do with him. The Lizheng family also stated that Shao Yunan, the method of jam, can also sell it to others, as long as it does not affect his family's business. The country of Dayan is so big, no matter how hard they are, it is impossible for them to sell the jam all over the country.

The Lizheng family took the line. From the next day, Wang Shijing took the villagers up to the mountain to pick tea, mainly to teach them how to pick tea, and then go to the village where the Lizheng family could talk. To collect the tea, Wang Shijing took it to pick it first. Specifically, Shao Yunan only gave Wang Shijing a range of how much to charge per pound. The maximum amount is 300 cents per pound, and the minimum is 30 cents per pound. It depends on the grade of tea. If you are not sure, it is only 50 cents a pound. will lose. There is not such a big place at home, so Shao Yunan will not accept wild chrysanthemum. He has not yet decided whether to sell chrysanthemum tea for money. The lack of manpower is one aspect, and Shao Yunan doesn't want to cast a net all over the sky from the beginning, so it doesn't matter the priority. Regardless of the status of the Zhao family in the village, or the family of Aunt Zhao Liu, Zhao He, and Li Caijuan, they are all big local households. If they come forward, Wang Shijing's tea collection is absolutely appropriate and easy.

Early the next morning, Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing still sent their two children to Lizheng's house. Shao Yunan left two hundred taels of silver for Lizheng. Today, the people from the land department of the county government will come to measure the land. He and Wang Shijing were not at home, so he left it to Uncle Lizheng to help. Zhao Yuande, Zhao He, and Shao Yunan went to the county town together, and Wang Shijing called a few acquaintances in the village to go up the mountain to find tea.
