How to become the richest man by farming

Chapter 235 Busyness and leisure (two in one)

Days passed, and as the last nutrient supplement was used up, Jiang Yang still didn't wake up, but in the mushroom forest, a new batch of mushrooms could be picked again.

Although Jiang Yun came up with this flower-cutting method on his own, because the later maintenance and picking required a lot of manpower, he cooperated with the village early in the morning and gave two profits to the village for management and picking, and then each received one share. Give the new workshop and transportation team to dry and transport.

Now that Jiang Yang was unconscious, Zhou Qiao was the one who was most familiar with the workshop. The village elders were worried about the harvest, so they all came to ask her questions.

The main hall was filled with village elders.

"Erlang's wife, now that the new workshop is burned down, what should we do with the newly picked mushrooms?"

Zhou Qiao: "Seventh Uncle, I..." We are already discussing the charter.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a clan elder, "There were so many merchants buying mushrooms before, but are there any who want to buy fresh mushrooms? Please contact us as soon as possible! In two days, the mushrooms will have bloomed and they won't be sold for the price."

Zhou Qiao: "Fresh mushrooms..." They can't store them and they won't collect them in large quantities.

"Erlang's wife takes care of the accounts in the workshop every day. Where can I identify those merchants? I think it's better to call the leaders of the transportation team and ask."

"Yes, yes, those boys have been following Shiro all day long, and they must know a lot of merchants."

……

Zhou Qiao opened her mouth and wanted to say: She has detailed records of all merchants. Except for Jiang Yang, no one knows it better than her.

It's a pity that the clan elders had their own ideas and didn't give her a chance to interrupt.

Jiang Bai, who was accompanying him, looked worried, but he had never been good at dealing with such scenes, and was even more embarrassed than Zhou Qiao.

Mrs. Zhou, who was secretly observing outside, frowned, stepped into the main hall, and said in a calm tone: "Is it so lively?"

The noisy main hall suddenly fell silent.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou coming against the light, Zhou Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to greet Mrs. Zhou.

After Mrs. Zhou sat down, Zhou Qiao straightened her back and stood next to her, and said loudly to the clan elders: "I know that all the elders are anxious, so I won't tell you anything. We have already picked the second batch of mushroom forest." Discuss the charter.

First of all, it is definitely not possible to sell fresh mushrooms in large quantities, because they are difficult to store and easily deteriorate after transportation. We cannot guarantee the quality of fresh mushrooms, and our signature will be damaged.

Secondly, we plan to arrange three shifts in the old workshop to carry out drying continuously to ensure the output of dry goods to the greatest extent and supply them to the old merchants.

Finally, for the fresh mushrooms that are in damaged condition and that have not had enough time to be dried, we are going to sell them as mushroom sauce. "

……

Everyone present was silent, and someone didn't know who muttered, "Since there are regulations, why don't you tell us and make us worry."

Zhou Qiao said without being humble or arrogant: "Perhaps the clan elders have forgotten that our family, Shiro, had previously discussed with the village that the village would be responsible for management and picking, and the workshop and transportation team would be responsible for drying and transportation. The village does not need to worry about sales, just pay attention to the end of the year. Money is."

The clan elders looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

Isn't this why they are anxious now that Jiang Yang is unconscious...

Zhou Qiao smiled slowly and said: "Please rest assured, clan elders, we, Yun Niang, have been thinking about this mushroom forest since last year. She has put so much effort into it, and we will not waste it no matter what."

Zhou Qiao tapped the stick lightly and gave her another reassurance. Only then did the clan elders pay attention to her words, and then asked about the third shift and mushroom sauce.

With Mrs. Zhou here, Zhou Qiao was very confident. She waited quietly for them to finish asking questions and then answered them one by one calmly.

Some elders expressed concerns about the sales of mushroom sauce.

In their minds, the so-called mushroom sauce is nothing more than salting the endless mushrooms. The farmers just eat them themselves and sell them to merchants... Can they really accept them?

Until Zhou Qiao brought them a small plate of mushroom sauce that was just cooked last night and let them each take a bite...

The cloudy eyes of the clan elders suddenly lit up.

"Why, why is there still meat stew sauce in this??? How much does this cost!" The clan elders lamented.

Zhou Qiao said with a smile: "There is no meat, this is the flavor of shiitake mushrooms, which are made with sesame seeds, peppercorns, and various spices..."

This recipe was found by Jiang Yun, but some of the ingredients in the original recipe were unknown, and some ingredients were expensive to make and could not be used directly.

Over the past few days, Zhou Qiao, together with Liu Su and the Jiang sisters, made many adjustments and experiments based on Jiang Yun's recipe, and made three mushroom sauces. Finally, the whole family voted and chose the current one. payment.

After appeasing the village elders, the Jiang family faced a new problem - how to make mushroom sauce from the remaining mushrooms when they are at their freshest.

Jiang Yueshan, who had just returned from helping in the county town not long ago, said: "What's so difficult about this? The most indispensable thing in Yuqing County now is people."

Jiang Yueshui frowned, "We still need to consider the hygiene situation..." He had personally seen lice crawling on the hair of many refugees... If it jumped into the pot, the mushroom sauce...

Just thinking of this made Jiang Yueshui feel suffocated.

He didn't mean to look down on the refugees. After all, in the past two years, lice were often seen on the bodies of adults and children in their village. That is to say, the dry goods workshop strictly required that people who work should not have fleas and lice on their bodies. This is a lot better.

Not to mention the refugees. First of all, they came here because of the drought, so naturally they didn't have much water to clean themselves. Secondly, they had to escape hardship and sleep in the open air. The temporary straw hut in the county town was also very crude, and they had no conditions to consider their own hygiene.

Jiang Yun agreed that there is a difference between mushroom sauce and dried mushrooms.

When people buy dried shiitake mushrooms, they usually need to be washed, soaked, and then cooked. If they are a little gray, they are fine.

However, shiitake mushroom sauce is ready-to-eat, and the production process needs to be strictly controlled. Not only the hygiene, but also the temperature and storage will affect the shelf life.

The best way is to have a qualified environment, standard processes, and strict requirements like mushroom drying...

But how many pots and stoves are needed?

However, it is not difficult to build some simple stoves, but pots are more troublesome because they involve iron, so it is basically impossible to buy them in large quantities at once.

Jiang Miao, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly said: "Then can we borrow it from the county government first? The county government used a lot of pots to rescue refugees and organize rich families to give porridge. Now there should be a lot of them idle."

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "I think it's feasible."

We have a solution for stoves and pots, but in the end we have to return to the issue of manpower.

Liu Su: "Let the people from the transportation team do it."

Everyone looked sideways.

Liu Su explained: "When we did the experiment before, we only did it in small quantities, and it was more laborious to stir it. When we make it in large quantities, it will be a whole pot of mushroom sauce. The transportation team has been training for a long time, and their physical strength and arm strength will definitely be better. Most women want to be strong.

At that time, the fresh mushrooms will be harvested, dried on one side, and mushroom sauce will be made on the other. After everything is completed, the transportation team will deliver the goods without any delay. "

Previously, when everyone thought of making mushroom sauce, their first reaction was to ask a woman to do it, but they did not expect the lack of strength.

Now that I think about it, most of the steps require a lot of strength and endurance. Then everyone discussed the arrangement of the mushroom sauce assembly line, the allocation of transportation team personnel, including the additional manpower required for each group, as well as the purchase and pre-production of raw materials.

As a result, the entire Jiang family started to move.

Jiang Bai accompanied Jiang Miao and Jiang Yun down the mountain to borrow pot from the county government.

Jiang Song, Liu Su, Zhang Liang, and Jiang Hua were responsible for convening meetings with the transportation team, determining the early purchase list, and conducting pre-training.

Old Man Jiang and Old Mrs. Zhou went to the village to determine the location and the manpower that needed to be supplemented.

The two brothers Jiang Yueshui and Jiang Yueshan are two bricks. They move them wherever they need to be - calculating the size of the stove, calculating the initial expenses, taking care of the two children at home, and even being responsible for the dry food for the whole family.

Two days later, everything was ready.

It took the transport team members half a day to build the required stoves and simple wooden sheds.

The second batch of mushroom picking in the mushroom forest has also begun.

……

While the Jiang family was busy, Zhao Feng, who was gradually recovering, was very leisurely.

Dr. Sun now comes three times a day to take pulse and then leaves with a solemn look on his face.

At first, everyone, including Zhao Feng himself, was worried that he was coming back, especially Dr. Sun.

He couldn't understand at all why His Highness woke up just as he was brewing some medicine, his face was no longer pale, and his speech became stronger... All pulses and appearances showed that His Highness was getting better, but the problem was that he hadn't gotten better yet. Research an antidote! He hasn't even had time to feed him the medicine he just prepared to temporarily suppress the toxicity!

Could it be that his diagnosis was wrong at first? In fact, His Highness spit out all the poison in that mouthful of blood?

Or is the poison just dormant, waiting for its next attack?

……

Amidst such doubt and self-doubt, Dr. Sun took his pulse three times a day and watched Zhao Feng getting better little by little.

Although they didn't know the reason, everyone in Tianzi No. 1 Courtyard was very happy.

Dr. Sun was naturally happy, and when he was happy, he was even more enthusiastic about taking Zhao Feng's pulse and thinking about his pulse. For comparison, he also didn't miss Zhao Huan's pulse.

The brother and sister didn't feel bothered at all, because they hadn't felt healthy and free for a long time.

Zhao Feng lay on the lounge chair in the pavilion, swaying in the breeze and reading.

Zhao Huan came holding the cloak and helped him put it on while muttering, "Brother, you are really in good health and you can blow the wind without any scruples. If the imperial grandmother finds out, I will definitely write a letter to punish you."

Zhao Feng put down the book and looked at Zhao Huan with pleading eyes, "I will definitely pay attention next time."

Zhao Huan was amused by him and chuckled. Then he cleared his throat and said with a serious face: "I won't do this next time!"

Zhao Feng smiled and nodded.

Zhao Huan picked up his book and flipped through it. It was a travel diary, and he was seeing the author exploring the mountains and wild rocks.

Zhao Huan blinked and suggested: "Why don't we go and play with Jiang Yun! She said that their home is surrounded by mountains and they can often go hunting in the mountains. There must be many interesting places."

Zhao Feng's eyes flashed slightly when he heard Jiang Yun's name...

If at first he thought what he saw and heard that day was a dream, but as his body gradually improved, he had a different answer in his mind.

It was not that he had never been curious, and he had also thought about asking Jiang Yun to find out.

But in the end he gave up.

He didn't know how Jiang Yun sneaked into the bedroom at three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, secretly fed him medicine, and escaped without alerting anyone, but he knew it must be something wrong. Easy.

Even if it is not easy, Jiang Yun has chosen this method, so why should he bother to explore it?

Everyone has secrets, not to mention that she still came to save his life at the risk of her secret being discovered.

No matter what she was hiding, he only needed to know one thing - Jiang Yun had no ill intentions towards him, that was enough.

Of course, this did not prevent him from becoming curious about Jiang Yun and the environment in which she lived.

Zhao Huan's proposal made him very excited, but not now.

Seeing Zhao Huan's disappointment, Zhao Feng explained patiently: "Now everyone in the city knows that I, the unlucky prince who is about to die, was carried in. How long has it been? If I were alive, I would run out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. , what do you want those people to think?”

Zhao Huan knew who the "those people" he was talking about were.

"But we are already so far away, they probably won't pay attention to us..." Zhao Huan said, knowing that he was just lucky, so he lowered his head dejectedly, "I know, then I will accompany you again." Brother, please take some time to recover from your illness."

Zhao Feng reached out and touched her bun, "Then thank you, Your Highness, for your hard work!"

"Then brother, teach me archery!" Zhao Huan took the opportunity to make a condition.

"it is good."

Zhao Huan rolled his eyes, "Aunt Qing recently assigned me a homework, brother, please help me do it too!"

Zhao Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it."

"It's not like the rich families in the city. Because my brother is 'sick', they don't dare to come to the door, and they don't want to be left behind, so they send gifts all day long. Now the east wing is almost full, so Aunt Qing gave me a day. Let me think about what to do with those gifts.”

Zhao Feng: "If I remember correctly, Grandma Huang also asked grandma to teach you this, right? You weren't so concerned about it at the time, but now you have changed your gender?"

Zhao Huan was a little embarrassed and said mysteriously: "Aunt Qing has a very beautiful swordsmanship. She said that as long as I answer well, she will teach me!"

"Oh~" Zhao Feng glanced at Tan Jian, who was standing not far away with his sword in his hands, "Are you dissatisfied with the swordsmanship Master Tan Jian taught you?"

Tan Jian:......

Zhao Huan said with some embarrassment: "The swordsmanship of Master Tan Jian is not good at all! Can you help me or not?"

Zhao Feng laughed for a while, and seeing that Zhao Huan was really getting annoyed, he nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay, I'll help you, but you have to tell me what you think first."

Zhao Huan: "I don't think this is a big problem at all. Now Yuqing County is my brother's fiefdom, and I will build a mansion here in the future. Isn't it normal for them to come to see the gift! Just register and accept it, why not Should we dispose of it?”

　It's late, it's late, today's first update + a supplementary update.
