Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

This time, Cao Jun came here with the intention of taking a batch of sweet potatoes over there first.

The supply of sweet potatoes this year is relatively large, and he cannot sell them all at once, otherwise he won’t be able to sell them at a good price.

Zheng Xiaoman's family planted more than 500 acres of sweet potatoes this year. In addition to their family, their grandmother's family, their aunt's family, the Yang family next door, and Sister Xiaoyu, the few families together planted more than 100 acres of sweet potatoes.

Last year, her family produced more than 2,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes per acre of land. This year, if all the land is added together, the quantity is still quite large.

After removing the seeds for next year, the rest will all be sold.

As for how much one pound can be sold for, it all depends on Cao Jun's ability.

Zheng Xiaoman and Cao Jun sat down in the hall. "Uncle Cao, we will be able to harvest about 20 acres of sweet potatoes tomorrow. How many do you plan to take away this time?"

Cao Jun drank the tea brought by the maid and said, "I will take a few tens of thousands of kilograms first, and I will let Manager Cao take away the rest one by one."

"Okay, then I'll prepare all the sweet potatoes for you as soon as possible."

Cao Jun smiled and nodded, reached into his purse and took out a stack of banknotes, then took an account book from the servant and handed it to Zheng Xiaoman.

"This is the share of the ice cream sold this summer. Here is the account book for you to take a look at."

When he got the prescription last year, it was already the end of summer. The time was too tight and he was not well prepared.

This year he prepared the ice to sell early in the morning, and as soon as summer came, the ice in his hands was taken away by various households in an endless stream.

In the four months from June to October, the amount of ice cubes sold has quadrupled compared to last year.

He sold a large amount of goods and sold them at a price slightly lower than the market price. It can be said that he captured more than half of the ice market in the south.

If he didn't have someone protecting him, the big business houses and families in the south would have taken action against him long ago.

So this business is not something that everyone can do. If you want to expand your business without any background, you will only be swallowed up by others.

Zheng Xiaoman immediately took the banknote with a smile and counted it with both hands.

Although she is not short of money now, who can still complain about having too much money?

Cao Jun was very happy to see her money-loving look. Everyone loves money, but there are not many people who can so directly show their love for money on their faces.

People at that time were very particular about being noble, and scholars even said that they regarded money as dirt.

Even if the dynasty did not suppress merchants, they would still be discriminated against in the eyes of most people.

In the evening, Scholar Fang also came to Zheng's house. He and Cao Jun had dinner at Zheng's house before returning to school together.

Cao Jun looked at his old friend and asked, "You've been here for more than two years. When do you plan to go back? Are you planning to stay here forever?"

Fang Xiucai said with a smile: "Isn't it nice here? There's nothing wrong with staying here forever."

Cao Jun chuckled, "This place is indeed great, but you won't stay here forever. You still have your own ambitions, don't think I don't know."

Mr. Fang stroked his beard and laughed, "Why do you ask me if you know this? I want to go back, but not now.

The current situation in the court is still unclear, and going back now will only drag you into factional disputes.

Two years, another two years, it should be time for me to go back."

He thought that in two years, some of his students would be able to pass the imperial examination and become scholars.

It can be considered as his reward for the quiet life in this village for several years.

Cao Jun looked at his friend's bright eyes and felt a little disappointed.

When he was young, he had always thought about taking the imperial examination to enter the court and show his talents and ambitions.

But he was not as lucky as his friend. In order to save his life, he had to give up literature and go into business, staying away from the capital.

Although his stepmother's family had declined over the years and could no longer do anything to him, he could never go back.

Cao Jun left three days later. When he left, he pulled dozens of carts of sweet potatoes with him. The scene attracted the whole village to come and watch.

Wang Degui, who was in the crowd, looked at the carts of sweet potatoes being taken away, and his heart felt so sour that it was about to bubble up.

He knew that the Zheng family became wealthy thanks to these sweet potatoes.

If the seedlings he stole had not been taken away, would his family have become rich now?

Thinking of this, he felt even more dissatisfied. The Zheng family was really a piece of shit. They made a fortune on their own, but they didn't even let them have some soup.

He rolled his eyes and decided that he couldn't let this good opportunity to make a fortune go by like this.

Since he couldn’t steal the seedlings, he would just steal sweet potatoes and sell them!

So in the next few days, he would secretly wander around Zheng's fields intentionally or unintentionally.

Because many people from the village had come here to watch the fun recently, his appearance at the edge of the field did not attract the attention of the Zheng family.

Wang Degui spent three days to find the spot and then planned to sneak into the field at night to steal sweet potatoes.

On the first day, he came back empty-handed.

He didn't know that the Zheng family had arranged people to guard the fields at night, and he was almost discovered. He hid in the bushes for most of the night before running back.

In the morning, when his family saw his face covered with mosquito bites, they wondered if there were so many mosquitoes in the house yesterday?

The next day Wang Degui went again, and this time he moved to the land in the mountains.

The mountains were densely wooded and the moonlight could not penetrate, so his figure was not easily spotted.

As he was approaching the field carefully, he suddenly heard the barking of dogs.

Although this place cannot be seen by human eyesight, it is not a problem for dogs.

So the Zheng family bought a few dogs in advance, and tied them up at home during the day for fear that they might bite people, and only brought the dogs over at night.

So Wang Degui didn't know there was a dog here. When the dog barked, the night watchman woke up.

Tietou shouted, "Who?"

Wang Degui's heart was pounding with fear, and he dared not stay here any longer.

He tumbled and crawled down the mountain, and even fell several times on the way, he didn't dare to stop.

Tietou walked over here with the dog, and didn't pay much attention to it because he didn't see his family.

When Wang Degui got home, he looked extremely disheveled, with several bruises on his hands and body.

His clothes were also scratched by the branches on the roadside and were covered with mud.

Wang Degui endured the pain and sneaked into his own yard. Now that he felt safe, he realized the pain in his body.

He took off the clothes that were hanging on his chest with a grimace, and cleaned his wound with tears in his eyes.

While cleaning, he was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face, but he bit his lips tightly and dared not make a sound.

The next day he hid in the house and didn't dare to come out. He lay on the kang and hid in the quilt, saying that he caught a cold.

Wang Degui's wife hurried to ask a doctor for him, but was stopped by Wang Degui again.

If he called a doctor, his injury would be exposed.

No one knew about the farce happening on his side, but within two days, all the families in the village started to rush to harvest.

The weather is good today, and the wheat ears in the fields are growing particularly full.

The laughter of adults and children can be heard everywhere in the fields.
