Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Cao Jun looked at Zheng Xiaoman, whose eyes were almost falling on the banknotes, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"The total amount of silver notes here is 67,540 taels, of which 66,210 taels were earned from selling sweet potatoes, and the rest was from the share of the hot pot base."

Zheng Xiaoman let out a long breath, it turned out that she had not counted wrong.

She came to her senses, but Zheng Dashan and Zhou Chunfeng who were sitting in the room were dumbfounded.

What? How much? Sixty, sixty thousand?

The two men looked at the stack of banknotes in their daughter's hand in shock, and Zheng Dashan swallowed hard.

Zhou Chunfeng was not much better. She grabbed Zheng Dashan's arm and said, "He, his father, you, you hurry up and pinch me, am I dreaming?"

Zheng Dashan turned his head and actually raised his hand and pinched his wife's arm hard.

"Ouch, it hurts so much, why did you hit me so hard?"

Zhou Chunfeng cried out, rubbed her arm with her other hand, raised her eyes and glared at her man.

Zheng Dashan chuckled and said, "I just want to confirm whether I am dreaming or not."

Zhou Chunfeng glared at him again in annoyance, but she didn't want to argue with him at this moment. She turned her head and looked at the banknotes in her daughter's hand.

Zheng Xiaoman had calmed down by now. She looked at Cao Jun puzzledly and asked, "Uncle Cao, how did you sell these sweet potatoes? Why did you sell them for so much money?"

Cao Jun waved his fan proudly, "Haha, of course I am a hermit and I have my own tricks."

As he said this, he boasted to Zheng Xiaoman about his amazing actions.

When Zheng Xiaoman heard that he sold this pound of sweet potatoes for five taels of silver, she couldn't help but mourn for those people who were taken advantage of.

If in two years the ground is full of sweet potatoes and a pound of them can be bought for just a few dozen coins, I wonder if those who have been taken advantage of will have the urge to beat Cao Jun up.

She also asked directly, "Uncle Cao, when they find out in a few years that sweet potatoes are just ordinary food, will they come back to you to settle the score and accuse you of deceiving them?"

Cao Jun looked at Zheng Xiaoman and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they won't cause trouble for me.

And even if I sell it at a higher price, they will still buy it.

The higher the price I ask, the more rare they will think this thing is.

Even if sweet potatoes are no longer rare in the future, so what? At least when I sold them to them, they were in short supply.

They still want to trouble me? I didn't sell it to them on my own initiative, they came to me on their own initiative.

I only gave them some of my things for their sake, so why should they blame me?"

All he said was inviting everyone to his house to try the new food, but he never said he wanted to sell it.

Zheng Xiaoman couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in admiration, "You are really good at doing business."

Originally according to her idea, if this first batch of sweet potatoes could be sold for a few hundred coins per pound, that would be the best outcome.

This guy was so nice that he raised the price directly to five taels of silver.

This time, her family made a lot of money, and they can just lie back and do nothing in the future.

While Zheng Xiaoman wanted to lie down and take a break, Cao Jun was planning on harvesting sweet potatoes for next year.

"Girl, the price of sweet potatoes may not be so high next year.

But if we go to more places and increase the quantity, we can still make a lot of money.

By the way, your family must plant more sweet potatoes this year, and give me some when the time comes."

Cao Jun knew their future plans and understood that these sweet potatoes could only be sold at a high price for one more year next year.

It’s not that this business can’t be done later, but we can only sell sweet potatoes as grain seeds.

Zheng Xiaoman nodded, "I know Uncle Cao. This year, our family bought another 200 acres of mountain land and 50 acres of fertile farmland, all for growing sweet potatoes."

She was even thinking about whether to buy more land, as sweet potatoes were really profitable.

Cao Jun suggested, "Your family's land is still not enough. Next year I want to travel around the country. If the number of sweet potatoes is too small, then there is no need."

Zheng Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "If our family buys more land, I'm afraid our family will be too busy to handle it."

Cao Jun shook his head. "Girl, you are usually quite smart. Why are you being stupid again now?"

Zheng Xiaoman looked at him in confusion, and Cao Jun continued, "If your family members are not enough, then buy some more people back. You have money in your hands now, why don't you buy some servants back?

You are rich people now after all. You don't plan to work in the fields in the future. You should let your family members do it, right?

Even if things are bad, you can always pay someone to farm the land."

Zheng Xiaoman slapped his head and thought, yes, they have money now, why not hire some people to do the work?

As a modern person, the idea of ​​equality for all has been solidified in her mind.

After figuring it out, she said decisively: "Then let's buy more land and use it all to grow sweet potatoes next year."

Cao Jun then smiled with satisfaction, "Okay then, I've delivered the money, and the account books are all here. I still have to go back to the city, so I'll leave first."

Zheng Xiaoman didn't keep him any longer, but when he left, he gave him a lot of vermicelli.

Cao Jun packed the vermicelli and left with satisfaction. After arriving at the village, he picked up Scholar Fang, and the two returned to the county town together.

Zheng Xiaoman and her parents returned to the house. Zhou Chunfeng took the silver bills handed to her by her daughter and counted them again herself.

"Oh, my girl, I'm still a little shocked. Is this all ours?"

This is not sixty thousand taels, sixty thousand is not six hundred!

Zheng Dashan wasn't in much better condition either, his head was completely confused.

Zheng Xiaoman understood her parents' feelings. She was also so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time, but she would be fine after a while.

She looked at her father and said, "Dad, how much more land do you think our family should buy? Should we continue to buy mountain land?"

Speaking of business, Zheng Dashan finally came to his senses, "I think we should buy the mountain land. There is no contiguous land in the village. If we divide it up, it will be difficult for us to take care of it."

Zheng Xiaoman thought for a moment and asked again, "Dad, is there a large farm near us?"

Zheng Dashan nodded. "Do you want to buy a farm? There are two farms at the foot of the mountain in the southernmost part of our village, but I don't know if they will sell it. Dad will go and ask after the New Year."

Zheng Xiaoman didn't necessarily want to buy a farm. Her main thought was that farms all had their own tenants, and they could save on hiring people.

But she also knew that this could not be forced, as the good places had already been taken by the rich.

Anyway, these things will have to wait until after the New Year. The New Year is only two days away, and no one will sell their land at this time.

Zheng Qingming and his classmates started their holiday on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, but classes would resume on the 6th day of the first lunar month. After more than a month of classes, they would go to the county town to take exams.
