Easy to farm

Chapter 145

The strawberries, tomatoes and peppers planted in the ground are all growing very gratifyingly. Although the growth speed is not as good as that in the small farm in the space, it is faster than the plants outside. After seven or eight days, Pei Xiangxiang again When I went to the field, I saw that the tomatoes and peppers had already bloomed and fruited, and some of them could be picked in a day. Strawberries grew the best, and there were many red strawberries hanging under the green patches. It was very impressive to see. joy.

Su Yunhan was relieved only at this time, and asked Pei Xiangxiang if he could pick strawberries and transport them to the capital first. If it is transported at one time, it may be too much, and some people will be too busy. It is better to divide it into two or three times, and it will not be wasted. time.

Speaking of this, Pei Xiangxiang remembered that she had forgotten when planting strawberries. She should not plant them directly in the ground, but planted the plants in flower pots like she did in the space before, so that even the pots and plants It is transported away together with the strawberry fruit, which is also because the strawberry is not suitable for preservation after being picked.

Even in modern times, under such developed transportation conditions, strawberries will go bad within three to five days after they are picked from the field, but here, they are basically transported to the capital by horse-drawn carts, ox carts and waterways. At least ten days, as long as half a month, the road is bumpy, and I am afraid that all the strawberries will be broken before halfway.

Pei Xiangxiang frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You have to transplant the strawberries into pots first, and then transport them to the capital together with the plants and fruits. If you pick them directly, they will all be ruined in a few days." .”

When Su Yunhan heard the original, he also agreed with Pei Xiangxiang's opinion, but he couldn't help asking, "Since the plants need to be transported together, why didn't they be planted directly in the flower pots when they were first planted, so that they don't have to spend any more effort to get the plants out of the ground?" If you pull it out, it will bear fruit, and if you pull it out and plant it again, what if it doesn't survive? Isn't it all a waste of time, how do you do things?" Su Yunhan was afraid of any accident, if the task could not be completed, in case It's not a joke to blame the Su family.

Su Yunhan spoke a little aggressively, and this meeting still had a straight face. It was rare to see a little smile before, but this meeting completely returned to the appearance of ice cubes. Pei Xiangxiang was a little apprehensive in his heart, but he opened his mouth to defend himself. , "You adults often do wrong things, I just didn't expect it, I'm not a god, I can cover everything."

Pei Xiangxiang muttered, with a bit of grievance on his face. Seeing her like this, Su Yunhan felt a little guilty, and felt that what he said just now seemed to be a bit harsh. No matter what, Pei Xiangxiang was only in his teens, and it was enough to be able to do so much It's not easy, so he slowed down his tone and asked very peacefully, "How many people are needed, I will arrange it."

For Su Yunhan's compromise, Pei Xiangxiang did not appreciate Su Yunhan's compromise too much, and put on a very unhappy look, and said directly, "Before transplanting, let's figure out how much you will give me. I want a strawberry tree." Accept fifty cents, if you have no objection, we will continue to count."

Originally, Su Yunhan was a little upset when Pei Xiangxiang raised the money halfway, but when he heard that a strawberry was fifty cents, which was not much to him, he nodded and said, "No problem." But his face was still expressionless, lifelike The one who took off was a combination of the ice cube man and the paralyzed man.

Fifty yuan a plant is actually not too cheap. Pei Xiangxiang completely counted the plants, fruits and her own labor in it. Seeing that Su Yunhan agreed so happily, she was very satisfied from the bottom of her heart and said, "One mu There are almost four thousand strawberries, 400 mu is 80 trees, and one tree is 320 Wen. Then you have to give me [-] taels for [-] mu of strawberries, and then you have to charge [-]% of the rent, so [-] taels of rent will be deducted. , just give me [-] taels."

When counting the money, Pei Xiangxiang didn't pause at all, and Su Yunhan almost didn't keep up with her. After Pei Xiangxiang finished speaking, he calculated in his heart for a while, and found that the money was not bad. His face was shocked. He didn't hide his astonishment at all, and asked directly, "Have you ever learned arithmetic?" He has been learning arithmetic since he was five years old, and the teachers who taught him all said that he is a rare talent. Looking at the whole capital, he can compete with him. There were not many people, but just now, he didn't even count as Pei Xiangxiang winning.

When Su Yunhan asked this, Pei Xiangxiang regretted it immediately, thinking that she was too impatient, and completely forgot to restrain herself. In ancient times, there were no formulas for multiplication by nine and nine. In her opinion, this number is very neat and easy to calculate, and it is completely calculated by mouth. Or mental arithmetic can directly get the result, but in ancient times, it was not so simple.

However, Pei Xiangxiang didn't get flustered because of Su Yunhan's doubts, and said with a calm expression, "Why, can't women learn this?" She didn't deny that she didn't learn it, but she didn't admit that she had learned it either. But Su Yunhan heard these words, and directly thought that Pei Xiangxiang had also learned arithmetic, and he was even more shocked in his heart. He immediately looked at Pei Xiangxiang with admiration, and felt that this peasant girl seemed to be more difficult than his own perception.

Su Yunhan didn't continue talking, but began to count more than 8 strawberries, how many cars and horses and boats would it take to hold so many strawberries, and the journey was so far, if these plants died halfway, wouldn't the strawberries also suffer? In the future, if the palace keeps asking for strawberries, will it be so laborious every time?

Seeing that Su Yunhan was silent, Pei Xiangxiang thought he was a little dissatisfied with the total price. After all, strawberries alone would cost her more than 300 taels. Counting everything including hot peppers, she can earn almost 1000 taels. With so much money, even if she doesn’t do anything, she just lives on the 1000 taels. As long as she doesn’t use it indiscriminately, she won’t worry about running out of money for the rest of her life.

After hesitating for a while, Pei Xiangxiang said, "I will be charged for the labor costs of transplanting strawberries before the time. After all, I didn't think carefully."

"No, it's possible that I'm still short of the money. This is 400 taels. You don't need to look for it. The rent will be settled at the end of the year." Su Yunhan took out four pieces of silver with a face value of [-] from his wallet very quickly. Passing the ticket to Pei Xiangxiang, Pei Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, then happily took the money, thinking, the local tyrant is indeed a local tyrant, and he brought so much cash with him when he went out, he felt more and more in his heart that he should win over this local tyrant, so he said, "Originally, if I was rich and wealthy, I sold it for ten yuan a piece, and the wholesale price was eight yuan. I will count it for you for six yuan a piece. The pepper is also the cheapest price. I will give you four catties for a penny."

Even if these prices are lower than what she sold before, the win is that the quantity is large, even if she earns two taels of silver for nothing, Pei Xiangxiang doesn't feel bad. Without Su Yunhan, she still doesn't know when she will be able to earn so much money.

For Pei Xiangxiang's generosity, Su Yunhan did not appreciate it, and said directly, "You calculate the money according to the market price, and you don't need to underestimate it, as much as you should."

Hearing Su Yunhan's words, Pei Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, thinking that Su Yunhan was really a local tyrant, and he didn't pay attention to one or two hundred taels of silver, but Su Yunhan didn't want it, it was cheaper for Pei Xiangxiang, and he could earn more silver.
