Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 203 The next money-making project

It was getting colder in mid-October. With the money and the people, several factory buildings of the Zhao family were quickly built, and construction of the college that Ling Jingxuan personally planned and designed also started. Originally, he only planned to buy Zhang Hu's house. Burn that piece of land, and first build a row of blue brick and large tiled houses with front and rear playgrounds as classrooms. Who knew that when he asked Liu Baoren to help him handle the official land purchase contract, Liu Baoren quietly communicated with the county magistrate, and county magistrate Hu escorted Chu When Yun Han and the others went back, they made repeated requests, but they had to assist Ling Jingxuan as much as possible in everything that Ling Jingxuan wanted to do. With a swipe of his pen, the old county magistrate resolutely allocated all the nearby idle homesteads to him without taking any money, saying that he was helping them In doing things for the people, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the county government was trying to buy face for Ling Jingxuan. For this reason, Ling Jingxuan did not refuse, and the next day he asked several foremen who had been working with him for a long time to help him build the school.

As for the teachers, because the little buns disliked Yan Yi, his stay in Yuehua Villa was nothing more than a display. Yan Shengrui decisively sent him to the county town to pay a lot of money to hire a gentleman above a scholar to sit in the hall. Before leaving, Ling Jingxuan also proposed My request, don't be a sour old pedant, don't think too much of yourself, an incompetent person who can only talk about running the train, let alone a narrow-minded and ignorant person. At the same time, he also asked him to find some martial artists and people who are good at accounting Mr. Lei, the martial artist naturally teaches children how to practice martial arts, and Mr. Accountant is what he plans to train for himself. Ling Jinghan is about to take the exam, and Song Shuisheng will definitely follow him. He plans to hand over the accounts to a special person in the future. Of course, he will also teach them simple and easy-to-learn modern statistical methods.

On the other hand, before County Magistrate Hu left, Ling Chenghua and others had already been sentenced to beheading in the city. The four of them were about to be executed as soon as the official document from the state government was issued. Lying on the bed all day long, the Xiucai family is almost completely falling apart, but the couple in the big house danced happily. They hated Ling Chenghua to the extreme, and they wished she would die quickly. The female thing seems to be completely awakened. Apart from serving the elderly couple every day, they basically don't leave the door.

As for the county seat, before Zeng Shaoqing left, he also ordered Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Hong to start buying the shop opposite the Crescent Gold Bank. Good news came two days ago, the shop was purchased, and Shopkeeper Wang, who is closer, is already leading workers. People are doing renovations. For this reason, Ling Jingxuan also took advantage of his free time to draw some new designs of bags and floral dresses for Wang Jinyu, and asked her to bring Song Shuiling and the others to make a sample first. If the finished product is good, they will hire a large number of people. We will start to do it, and strive to promote it as the main product when the Baiyun Pavilion branch opens next month.

With the experience of making bags last time, this time Wang Jinyu and others can be said to be very familiar with it, and they can start work without Ling Jingxuan's explanation. Shopkeeper Wang reported that when shopkeeper Wang was too busy on weekdays, he would be in charge of supervising the work.

"Brother Zhao and Brother Han, you are here, let's go."

On this day, Zhao Han and his wife came to Yuehua Mountain Villa early in the morning, not for anything else, but because Ling Jingxuan said yesterday that he would tell them what business they are going to do in winter today, and the curious Ling Jinghan arranged a study plan for the little buns. Walk with them to the No. [-] factory building. When I was idle recently, the servants of the family have planted corresponding fruit trees in the planned area of ​​the yard one after another according to Ling Jingxuan's instructions. Although they are still all branches, but The yard no longer looked empty.

"Lao Song, open the door on Tuesday!" Standing at the door of warehouse No. [-], Ling Jingxuan waved, and Lao Song who came with them both stepped forward on Tuesday.

"Squeak..." The two heavy doors were slowly pulled to the sides, and the warehouse of thousands of square meters gradually appeared in everyone's sight. Everyone couldn't help but crane their necks, wanting to see what was hidden inside.

"Is that a mushroom?" "Brother, can you grow mushrooms yourself?" "No wonder my brother said we need to earn more money for the New Year."

When the door of the warehouse was completely opened, the group of people couldn't help but stare in surprise. Inside, there were densely packed substrates wrapped in cotton cloth with thick and long adult arms. The openings at both ends were already covered with various mushrooms. The Ling Jinghan brothers, who had eaten this food before, couldn't help laughing, and admired their elder brother even more. It's probably hard for ordinary people to think of growing mushrooms by themselves, right?

"Brother Zhao, Brother Han, come with me."

Ignoring what the two younger brothers said, Ling Jingxuan and Yan Shengrui glanced at each other and walked in first. The mushroom substrates were arranged in rows like soil ridges, each row had several layers, and there was a space for two people to pass through in the middle. The passage, the more you go inside, the more everyone admires Ling Jingxuan's hands-on ability. In just two or three months, he has made so many substrates by himself, at least tens of thousands, right?

"These two lines are reserved for you. Brother Zhao, you can move back. Now these fungi have almost grown. In two days, I will go to shopkeeper Zhang to discuss the purchase. Don't rush after the first picking. Throw it away, as long as you keep enough humidity and temperature, they will continue to grow. It is estimated that they can be harvested twice a month until around March and April next year. If the two of you are too busy, you can ask Liu Baoren to buy a few servants. To be honest, it’s already the growing season of mushrooms, and I can’t do it alone, so I’m going to hand it over to my father and Lao Zhou.”

Pointing to the last two lines, Ling Jingxuan turned around and said to them, in fact, this is basically a gift for them, he has almost raised them.

"Hey, we'll use the bullock cart to pull it back. On Tuesday, I'll have to ask you for help."

Knowing that even if Ling Jingxuan was rejected, there were ways to silence them, Han Fei simply stopped talking, and quickly accepted his wish, just like the 600 taels of silver he gave them to sell fruit vinegar last time.

"What did Master Han say? We should do what we should do. Dad, you and Uncle Song will drive the ox cart over. I'll move some out first."

On Tuesday, he didn't dare to accept Han Fei's politeness. After finishing speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start. Zhao Dalong and Han Fei also joined them silently. It took several times to finish.

"Brother, is this black fungus the fungus you used to fry meat?"

After the fungus substrate in the front was moved, there were still many trees lying on the ground behind, and the trunks were already covered with small fungus. Ling Jingpeng had eaten that thing once, and he still remembered its taste.

"Well, fungus can be divided into poisonous and non-toxic. This kind is not poisonous, but it's best to eat it after drying. Eating too much fresh fungus is not good for your health. I didn't make much this year, mainly at the beginning. The training is not smooth enough, but we can get more in the future."

Nodding his head, Ling Jingxuan squatted down and looked at the black fungus that was already the size of a thumb. It took him a lot of effort to cultivate it, and every substrate here has added Crescent Spring Water, otherwise it would be impossible to cultivate it It went so smoothly. After all, before this, he only knew the general training process, and he hadn't really done it.

"How much can we have after drying? Brother, why don't we sell these fungus and keep them for ourselves? The dried fungus should last for a long time, right?"

Thinking about the taste, Ling Jingpeng seemed to be infected with Xiao Baozi's foodie gene, and he salivated in all kinds of ways, making Ling Jinghan and others who had never tasted it couldn't help wondering how delicious it was. There was no way, Ling Jingxuan only made this fungus once, that was the first time they went to the market to buy meat, the time when Ling Jiang's mother, daughter, old lady and others came to make a fuss, and since he didn't pick fungus, he never did it again.

"Hehe... I think the same way. After picking, I will dry them all and put them in the cellar. I want to ask someone to take some to the capital during the Chinese New Year."

Ling Jingxuan smiled slightly, in the blink of an eye, it had been half a month since Chu Yunhan and the others left, and it is estimated that they will almost arrive in the capital.

"Well, brother, I really didn't expect you to make so many substrates by yourself, why didn't you ask me to help?"

Speaking of this, Ling Jingpeng inevitably feels uncomfortable and distressed. The elder brother's fragile shoulders are carrying too many things, and he really wants to help him share some of them.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Shaking his head and glanced at him, Ling Jingxuan walked and said, "From today on, you not only have to follow me to familiarize yourself with the knowledge of fungi, but also learn to cultivate spores by yourself, make a substrate, and then transplant the germinated spores onto the substrate. After a few days, after discussing the acquisition with shopkeeper Zhang, I will not ask any more questions. In the future, whether it is picking and delivering goods, or going out to discuss business, you have to go alone. Jingpeng, fungi and jams I will hand over all the business to you, and when the sorghum comes out next year, I will also hand it all over to you, and our family's business will depend entirely on you alone."

As for the business of Baiyun Pavilion, it is naturally handed over to Zhang Qing. The academy is temporarily registered in his and Jinghan's names. Later, depending on the situation, he will decide whether to manage it himself or Ling Jinghan. When the family is really rich, he will almost It's time to go to the capital. Besides worrying about Chu Yunhan and the others, he has more important things to do by himself.

"Well, big brother, I won't let you down."

Stopping, Ling Jingpeng clenched his fists and looked firm. The eldest brother and the second brother are capable people, and he will never embarrass them. "Hehe...don't put too much pressure on yourself. I will help You train a few capable assistants, and when it’s time to delegate power, let them do it, and you just give orders and that’s it.”

He has never been disappointed with his younger brothers. Even though Ling Jinghan hasn't taken the exam yet, and he doesn't know if he will be able to go to high school, Ling Jingpeng just followed him, but he still believes that his two younger brothers are not idiots, and they work harder than anyone else. They will definitely succeed.

"Um"

Ling Jingpeng nodded, and his heart became more determined to share the burden for his elder brother. Although Ling Jinghan on the side did not speak, it is not difficult to see from his faintly shining eyes that he was also secretly competing. The elder brother and younger brother can bear it. He is a scholar. It's even more important to work harder. Only when he is in high school can their family be truly respected by others.

I have to say that these brothers are worthy of being a family, and their unwillingness to admit defeat is exactly the same. Yan Shengrui, who was watching silently beside him, couldn't help but give them admiring looks. A man should have this backbone He dared to assert that they would definitely have a place in the future Qing dynasty.
