Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space
Chapter 179 Purchasing Firewood
After eating and drinking, Jiang Xiaoxiao trained her powers for a while before going to bed.
At dawn, the people from the soap workshop came to work.
Everyone is very diligent. From the unfamiliarity in the first few days to the proficiency now, the work becomes easier and smoother. Those who burn plant ashes, boil lard...the work efficiency is also getting higher and higher.
This resulted in the fact that the firewood Jiang Wei chopped in the mountains yesterday was not enough.
Helpless, Jiang Wei could only buy firewood from people in the village.
As soon as the news was sent out, everyone in the village was shocked and rushed to Jiang's house to ask.
Jiang Weibin also took advantage of this opportunity to buy firewood from the villagers.
"As long as you have endless firewood at home, you can sell it to me. My family is willing to buy it for two cents a pound!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Two cents per pound of firewood, isn’t this free money?
You know, firewood is all over the mountains, and you can get as much as you want. The Jiang family is actually willing to spend money to buy it. It's so cheap for them!
Everyone had no time to sigh and ran home to collect firewood.
Jiang Wei moved a small table to Jiang Xiaoxiao and placed it at the entrance of the courtyard. There were pens and paper on the table, as well as a heavy money bag.
Every villager who comes to sell firewood will be weighed and recorded here by Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"Grandma Hua, your bundle of firewood weighs twenty kilograms, which is exactly ten cents." Jiang Xiaoxiao counted out ten copper coins from the money bag and handed them to the ragged old man in front of him.
Granny Hua is a lonely old man in the village. She has no children and barely makes a living on only two acres of thin farmland.
At the end of the year, I can't make much money at all. If I encounter a bad year, I can't even eat. I have to rely on the help of the villagers to survive.
Now holding the warm ten copper coins, her muddy old eyes were almost moved to tears, and she said "thank you" several times.
She is old and no one wants her even if she does a job.
But the job of collecting firewood can be done as long as you have hands and feet.
The Jiang family purchased firewood from the village, which undoubtedly gave them a way to survive.
Seeing that even Granny Hua made ten cents from a bundle of firewood, everyone became more and more excited and brought the firewood they had stored up to sell.
"Your bundle of firewood weighs ten kilograms, so that's five cents..."
"Yours is thirty pounds and fifteen cents..."
"..."
Soon, a long line formed outside Jiang's yard.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was also busy, taking notes and counting money to the villagers.
Chunya had just finished feeding chickens, sheep and rabbits in the backyard. When she came out and saw this scene, she hurried over to help.
Chunya is a diligent person and can count coins quickly. With her help, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a lot less stressed.
The speed of purchasing firewood is also much faster.
In a short time, the team shortened a lot.
The villagers who had sold their firewood ran up the mountain impatiently, carrying hatchets.
It's not often that you can exchange firewood for money, so they should seize the opportunity to make money!
For a time, the villagers who had been idle because the autumn planting was over became busy again. As long as they were free, the whole family went to the mountains to collect and chop firewood...
At the end of the day, people kept coming and going in Jiang's yard, and it was very lively.
It wasn't until night, when everyone went home contentedly with their money, that Jiang Xiaoxiao had time to calculate today's income and expenditure.
In just one day, her family purchased nearly two thousand kilograms of firewood, spending one tael of silver!
Jiang Xiaoxiao thought it was a good deal.
This firewood can not only be used to burn plant ashes and boil lard, but can also be used as burning material for kilns. Firewood is indispensable for cooking and cooking, and a large amount of firewood is also used to burn the kang in winter... After all, the firewood is totally not enough!
Jiang Xiaoxiao discussed with her mother that before winter came, her family could purchase firewood from the villagers on a long-term basis. Jiang Wei naturally agreed.
In fact, Jiang Xiaoxiao also has his own selfish motives when it comes to purchasing firewood.
As a book wearer, she knows the plot of the original book. This winter is very difficult. Maybe in this way, the villagers can consciously stock up on firewood.
When the winter snowstorm comes, the villagers will not be too miserable.
Moreover, through this matter, the villagers can earn a lot of money before winter comes and spend the winter happily, and her family no longer has to worry about insufficient firewood. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
So, the next day, as soon as the news of the long-term firewood purchase was released, the villagers became excited again.
I originally thought that this kind of good thing would last only a few days, but I didn't expect that the Jiang family would buy firewood for a long time. What a great thing!
Now, everyone's enthusiasm for going up the mountain to cut firewood became even higher.
An adult man can pick up two bundles of firewood in one trip up the mountain, and can make three or four trips back and forth a day. A bundle of firewood is worth about ten cents, so he can earn sixty or seventy cents a day.
There is still a month and a half before winter starts, so making two or three taels of silver is not a problem!
In less than a day, news about the Jiang family’s purchase of firewood also spread to neighboring villages.
People from neighboring villages couldn't sit still, so they also carried their own firewood and came to Jiang's house to sell it.
Jiang Xiaoxiao naturally welcomes it.
These two cents per pound are not worth much anyway, so naturally the more the better.
People were constantly coming in and out of the Jiang Family Courtyard, and it was as lively as a market.
The amount of firewood stored at home has also reached an unprecedented level!
Fortunately, her firewood house is very large, and it is not a problem to store tens of thousands of kilograms of firewood.
Even if it doesn't fit, there are plenty of vacant spaces in the corners outside the courtyard, so you can pile up firewood by building a shelter from the rain.
With sufficient firewood, the efficiency of the soap workshop has been greatly improved.
Batch after batch of soap is produced and transported to the fifth cement room to dry in the shade and wait for solidification...
Soon, the first batch of soap will be ready to leave the factory.
Jiang Wei drove his family's carriage to the soap workshop and arranged for people to load the first batch of soap onto the carriage and transport it to the shop in the town.
With the first batch of soap, the shops in the town can be opened immediately.
Jiang Xiaoxiao also wanted to go to town, but she had to be responsible for purchasing firewood at home and couldn't be separated, so she had to wait until the next time.
However, when it comes to purchasing firewood, even with Chun Ya's help, she is still very busy sometimes.
She is too young, and there are so many people coming, so it is inevitable that she will be careless.
Jiang Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided to hire a worker to do it.
As for who to invite...
Jiang Xiaoxiao originally planned to invite Sister Zhao, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
Recently, Sister-in-law Zhao was hit hard by the incident involving Rascal Zhao, and her mentality was not good. The purchase of firewood involved money, and there was no room for mistakes, so it was better to find someone else.
At this moment, Liu Dagang walked in carrying a bundle of firewood weighing twenty kilograms.
"Xiaoxiao, I went up the mountain and chopped a lot of firewood. Please tell me how much it will cost."
Jiang Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised his head and saw someone behind Liu Dagang.
It's Zhao Ergou.
He was carrying a bundle of ten kilograms of firewood and lowered his head in embarrassment, as if he did not dare to look at her.
