Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

After discussing these things, some villagers went to Qian's house to ask how to plan potatoes, and Qiao Jiwei followed them to the field.Qiao Jiwei asked them to cut off the potato seedlings first, and then plan the potatoes inside.But Qiao Jiwei had instructed in advance that these potato seedlings were not allowed to be taken home to feed cattle and sheep, as long as they rotted in the field.Because he knew that except for the roots, the whole body of the potato was highly poisonous.

After planing their own potatoes, the villagers planed potatoes for Qiao Jiwei's family.

Qiao Jiwei ran back home to dye his clothes during the interval between the supervisors, and when it boiled, it was time to plan potatoes.Jade took over from Qiao Jiwei and put the sackcloth into the boiling soup to dye.To be honest, Fei Cui used both hands to do this job, and knew the timing and heat of dyeing more carefully than Qiao Jiwei.Seeing her dexterity, Qiao Jiwei felt relieved to leave.

At the same time, Zhao Ji led a group of people to make hot sauce, because he had something to do, and he was the leader among these people, so even if he wanted to gamble one day, he couldn't shake his hands and leave.

At this time, making chili sauce is naturally not like the modern assembly line operation, it is all stir-fried bit by bit.Qiao Jiwei didn't hesitate to add a lot of pork to the hot sauce. When there was not enough pork, Xiang'er's family went to various parts of the county to collect pigs.As for the price of the pigs, Qiao Jiwei stipulated in advance that it would be a little higher than the market price, at nine cents per catty. After all, these people worked hard to raise pigs and consumed a lot of food and grass throughout the year.

When the nearby pig farmers heard the news, they drove the pigs to the village while the pigs were being fattened, and there was no need for Brother Xiang'er and Brother Xiang'er to run back and forth in the county town.

When the hot sauce is about to be finished, all the potatoes in the village are also harvested.People who harvested potatoes made mashed potatoes and shipped them to the county town to sell, but Qiao Jiwei didn't get involved in this business.What he has to do now is to sell the dug potatoes to more people, so as to promote the cultivation of potatoes.

After the hot sauce was made, it was packed in porcelain bottles the size of soy sauce bottles. Qiao Jiwei went to the county in advance to ask potters to make them.This is not only convenient to carry, but also allows people to eat comfortably.

Pay the person who makes the hot sauce, and it is supposed to prepare the hot sauce for sale.But Zhao Ji refused to leave.

Qiao Jiwei looked at him, "You've made money, why don't you leave?"

Zhao Ji said with a smile: "Let me also sell the hot sauce in the county."

"What's the use of asking for so much money? You don't have a wife and children."

Zhao Ji's face turned red, and he hesitated, "It's just urgent."

Qiao Jiwei raised his eyebrows, he dared to take the opportunity to earn more money to gamble.But Qiao Jiwei just didn't want him to do so. "Okay, I promise you."

Zhao Ji's face immediately beamed with joy.

"However," as Qiao Jiwei raised his voice, Zhao Ji froze immediately, and then Qiao Jiwei smiled at him maliciously, "I'll go with you."

"what……"

In this way, Qiao Jiwei took Zhao Ji and Wang Wu to sell hot sauce in the county all day long.As for the potatoes, I asked Qian's mother to sell them to the villagers for ten cents a catty, so that they could be used as potato seeds next year.

Qiao Jiwei set the price of hot sauce at [-] cents a bottle. To be honest, the price was a bit unreasonable, it was too expensive.But the reason why Qiao Jiwei raised the price so high was mainly because he was the only one with chili in this county. From this point of view, food like chili sauce is indeed a rare product, and it is indeed worth the price.After a few years, the price of chili will stabilize, and the market price of this hot sauce will also become normal.Let’s talk about it at that time. The price is set so high at this time, which naturally makes people look forward to this hot sauce. Ordinary people don’t have enough money to buy it. When the price of peppers is generally planted here and the price drops, this hot sauce will naturally be popular.In this way, peppers are grown in the whole county and sold to other counties, and the people in the county will naturally become rich.

Some well-to-do families in the county saw Qiao Jiwei setting up a stall in the city and bought the hot sauce one after another.After all, Qiao Jiwei had previously sold fish, tofu, mashed potatoes and other foods in the county. The good taste of these foods has earned a lot of repeat customers.

The mashed potato sellers in the village saw that Qiao Jiwei was selling hot sauce somewhere in the county, so they put their stalls next to Qiao Jiwei's.Once there is any change, they can take care of each other.

Someone in the county bought chili sauce and felt that there was no staple food, so he went to the stall next door to buy a bowl of mashed potatoes.Therefore, the hot sauce and mashed potato businesses can also complement each other and prosper each other.

A woman selling mashed potatoes grinned and asked Qiao Jiwei, "Ji Wei, if the potatoes we grow are sold out, can your family sell us some."

"No," Qiao Jiwei rebuffed flatly. "It's better for you to save some seeds. If you only want to make a lot of money now, you will cry in the future. This is called fishing out of the marsh." Qiao Jiwei plans to sell potatoes to every family in the village, and then spread them from the village to the countryside next year , and then the county.For those who already had potatoes, Qiao Jiwei couldn't care so much.

"Exhaust the pond and fish?"

It happened that a young man went to buy chili sauce from Qian's stall, Qiao Jiwei accepted the money, and then answered the man's words, "Just don't leave a way for yourself, and cut off the way to get money in the future."

The man was stunned after hearing this, savoring what Qiao Jiwei had just said.

But the hot sauce didn't sell out as quickly as Qiao Jiwei expected, and it hasn't been sold out in five days.Probably some people really can't stand the spicy taste, so when they chatted with their neighbors, they said that the hot sauce is irritating and tastes bad.In this situation, Qiao Jiwei did not restore his reputation as he did in the state capital last time.After all, there are indeed many people who cannot eat chili by nature, and their subsequent evaluation is justifiable.

The money earned from selling hot sauce has always been kept by Qiao Jiwei, and Zhao Ji is just a helper, and Qiao Jiwei will not give him the opportunity to touch the property.Wang Wuyi got his salary for one day, but Zhao Ji still didn't get a penny.

Qiao Jiwei gave fifteen Wen to Wang Wu, but Zhao Ji was unwilling. He grabbed Qiao Jiwei's shoulder and dragged Qiao Jiwei to him, "Hey, where is my money? You haven't given me any money these days. Cheng Are you crushing me?" After speaking, he wanted to touch Qiao Jiwei's pocket.

"Let go!" Qiao Jiwei's low-pitched voice really shocked Zhao Ji.

Qiao Jiwei patted him on the shoulder and whispered to him, "The money that belongs to you is yours after all, but if I hand it over to you now, wouldn't it be that you will gamble it all again?"

Zhao Ji continued to lie, "I didn't want to gamble, I got the money and saved it in the bank."

Qiao Jiwei stayed away from him, keeping a distance of tens of hours from him, "Look into my eyes, and I'll ask you if you're telling the truth."

Zhao Ji was very obedient at this time, and he really stared at Qiao Jiwei's eyes, seeing the sharp light in Qiao Jiwei's eyes, as if piercing through his own thoughts.Zhao Ji didn't dare to face him anymore, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Qiao Jiwei approached him again, and whispered softly, "I'll keep the money you earn for you. Don't worry, when you quit gambling, I'll give you the money."

Zhao Ji raised his head, his face was a little tired, "Okay, I promise you." Qiao Jiwei turned around to pack the unsold hot sauce, Zhao Ji suddenly felt a sense of being saved, and said sincerely to Qiao Jiwei's back: "Ji Wei ,Thank you."

Qiao Jiwei froze.

The reason why he helped Zhao Ji so much was not because of Qiao Jiwei's kind character.The reason is that Zhao Ji helped him too much, and Qiao Jiwei wanted to repay him once.Let him quit gambling from the bottom of his heart and rebuild his family business.

When there were only five bottles of hot sauce left, a villager rushed to the hot sauce, sweating profusely from excessive exercise, and was out of breath: "Ji Wei, there is an official from the capital who came to the village and said I want to pick you up to Kyoto, you should go back quickly."

After hearing this, Qiao Jiwei hurriedly left the stall and rushed home.

The one who should come is still here. If there is a choice, Qiao Jiwei will naturally choose to live a stable life in the countryside. Now that he wants to come, it is no longer possible.Being alone has become a fantasy, as a modern person, he really knows very little about how dangerous the court is.Qiao Jiwei suddenly realized that he still doesn't know who the current emperor is because the information in the small mountain village is too closed.Wait until we get to Beijing to understand the situation carefully, and plan according to the opportunity to save the lives of the whole family.

Soon at the entrance of the village, Mother Qian and Fei Cui were already sitting in the carriage.They lifted the curtain and saw Qiao Jiwei: "Ji Wei (Master), here."

The person in front was riding on a horse, probably the head of this person, glanced at Qiao Jiwei, and reprimanded him: "Why did you come here, Momojiji, if you let the prince know, be careful to hit you on the board." This person Talking a bit feminine, Qiao Jiwei took a peek at this man's face and suspected that he was an eunuch.

But he is indeed not an eunuch, this man is called Jiang Hua, he is the chief guard in the palace, and Qian Dayong sent him to pick up the three members of Qian's family.

Qiao Jiwei still had things to take care of, so he said to Jiang Hua, "I'll go back and get some things first." After speaking, he ran to Qian's house regardless of Jiang Hua's feelings.

I only heard Fei Cui shouting from behind: "Master, I've packed everything for you."

Jiang Hua complained vigorously, "Hey, there are so many things. You are still a young master, and you will be a slave in the palace."

Qiao Jiwei returned to Qian's house with tomato seeds and red peppers.Holding these two things in his hands, Qiao Jiwei took a last look at the Qian family's house. He had lived here for a year, and he felt a little reluctance in his heart.

After running back to the entrance of the village, Jiang Hua glanced at him, "Have you got the things?"

Qiao Jiwei returned to the carriage and replied, "I have it."

"Walk."

When they arrived at the place selling hot sauce in the county, Qiao Jiwei hurriedly called to stop.Jiang Hua thought he had too many things to do, so he pretended not to hear and refused to let the carriage stop.

Zhao Ji chased after him vigorously, "Ji Wei, you just leave, you have to give me the money."

In desperation, Qiao Jiwei had no choice but to throw a hundred coins and a bag of peppers at Zhao Ji's feet.Helping Zhao Ji quit gambling is impossible, it depends on his own luck.

After leaving the county seat, the green hills on both sides of the road are green and the green water is enchanting.Summer flowers are in full bloom in the fields, but the weeds are wilted by the sun.It was quite cool in the carriage shed, and it was getting closer and closer to the destination.
