Easy to farm

Chapter 284 Ready
Before returning to the capital, Pei Xiangxiang talked to Mr. Huang again. Since the two sides are ready to cooperate, the person they arranged to destroy Pei Ji's business before should naturally withdraw. Mr. Huang was straightforward and did not embarrass Pei Xiangxiang. .

After no one messed around, Pei Ji's business gradually got on the right track. However, there was good news from Wang Lin. The letter sent to Pei Xiangxiang said that there were some merchants from the country of Ross who were buying tomatoes at a high price. The price was so high that Pei Xiangxiang couldn't help being speechless when he heard it, and wondered if he had heard it wrong, a rich and noble Ruyi fruit was worth one or two taels of silver.

Pei Xiangxiang couldn't help but do the math. Before, she sold a tomato for ten cents, plus peppers and strawberries, and earned tens of thousands of taels a year. If Ross Guozhen bought it at a high price, her income would be much higher If it is doubled by more than ten times, if it goes on like this, within a few years, she will be earning a lot of money.

Pei Xiangxiang didn't know how credible the news from Wang Lin was, but the price was too much to look forward to. Therefore, Pei Xiangxiang even wrote to Wang Lin to reconfirm. At that time, she vigorously expanded the planting area, and she had as much as the country of Ross wanted, and she was not afraid that she would not make money.

Because she was in a hurry to return to Beijing earlier, Pei Xiangxiang didn't want to stay in Qingyang Town too long. Therefore, she didn't wait for Wang Lin's reply, so she hurriedly packed her things and started to leave. Because the third master has been urging her, from Pei Xiangxiang's point of view, Huang Sanye is very concerned about this cooperation, and only wants to get the tomato seeds earlier.

Pei Xiangxiang couldn't help being suspicious of Huang Sanye's undisguised urgency. It stands to reason that Prince An is also the elder brother of the current emperor. It is enough for him to live a very good life in Dasheng. There are also many properties under the name of Prince An, and his annual income is quite rich. Compared with Prince An's side, Pei Xiangxiang's annual income is completely incomparable.

But Pei Xiangxiang's small business that didn't seem to make much money actually caught the attention of Prince An, and even sent his most capable men to deal with Pei Xiangxiang.

Of course, even if Pei Xiangxiang really had doubts, she would not show it at this time. Therefore, before leaving Qingyang Town, she deliberately let herself control the emotions in her heart, and then arranged the affairs of Qingyang Town. I am ready to return to Beijing.

But before leaving, Pei Xiangxiang did not forget what Xu Shi and Pei Yongping told her before, and asked her to go to Zhu Shi and Pei Zhenglian to show her filial piety. Therefore, Pei Xiangxiang readily gave Zhu Shi ten taels of silver and bought a few bottles for Pei Zhenglian Good wine, a box of tobacco, and a pipe are just what they like. As for Pei Xiufen, who has returned to her mother's house from her husband's house, because she has brought all the children here, she has a lot of daily expenses. Pei Xiangxiang also subsidized her ten times in private. Two silver coins is very generous.

As for Huo Meihua and Aunt Huo, Pei Xiangxiang gave her a few bolts of good-quality cloth and asked her to cut the clothes herself. As for the silver, she gave her five liang of silver for pocket expenses in front of Mrs. Zhu. Of course, She spends money for Huo Mei, the premise is that Huo Meihua stays in Qingyang Town with peace of mind, and don't even think about going to the capital.

In order to let Mrs. Zhu dispel the idea of ​​sending Huo Meihua to the capital, Pei Xiangxiang told Mrs. Yang ambiguously that Mrs. Yang might be pregnant. Mrs. Zhu was shocked to hear that. Although she was surprised, she was also very happy. It was a big event anyway , but I asked Pei Xiangxiang carefully, but Pei Xiangxiang kept silent.

After dealing with Mrs. Zhu, Pei Xiangxiang asked Pei Sijing to try her best to persuade Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Pei Zhiheng to go to Beijing together. Mrs. Xu didn't want to follow her because she was worried about Mrs. Pei. Xu was frightened before, for fear of relapse, so she stayed to take care of Pei Zhiheng, and Pei Zhiheng has not been sick again for more than half a year, and his complexion is getting better and better.

Originally, Pei Xiangxiang thought that Pei Zhiheng would be difficult to persuade. After all, after going to the capital, Pei Zhiheng might not be able to find any job for a while, and he couldn't open a medical clinic with an apprentice who has not been trained in a medical clinic. Zhiheng readily agreed, but only said that he could not leave immediately, and that it would take half a year. As for the Xu family, he also planned to go to the capital with Pei Zhiheng.

Although he failed to go back to Beijing with Pei Zhiheng and the Xu family, Pei Xiangxiang took some other people away. These people were met in Qingyang Town before, namely Zhao Jun, Zhao Dongmei and Zhao Yong.

Speaking of which, the fate of the three sisters of the Zhao family was too bad. Their biological mother died early, their stepmother was vicious, and their biological father was cowardly and careless. After waiting for three years, what shocked them even more was that their father accidentally fell into the water and died. The biological father had just been buried, and the stepmother took advantage of people's surprise and sold the Zhao family's property directly, and then took away all the property and disappeared.

All of a sudden, the three sisters of the Zhao family had no fixed place to live and no relatives to turn to, or relatives saw them like this and were afraid to ask them to borrow money for help, so they avoided seeing them one by one. The three of them were extremely disappointed by this.

Fortunately, Pei Xiangxiang was on errands for Zhao Dongmei and Zhao Yong, and it was not a problem for them to support the three of them. However, the money owed to Pei Xiangxiang had never been repaid. This time when Pei Xiangxiang came back, Zhao Jun wanted to pay Pei Xiangxiang back. To clear the debt, he wanted to go to the capital with him, saying that he could work for Pei Xiangxiang for free for a few years. Zhao Dongmei and Zhao Yong also rushed to say that they could be servant girls to pay off the debt.

Seeing that they were indeed pitiful, Pei Xiangxiang didn't hesitate much, so he agreed to take them to the capital. Anyway, he needs to employ people, and Zhao Jun can read and write. It must be no problem to help with a few accounts, and the three of them are also Knowing the basics, Pei Xiangxiang was quite at ease with them.

In mid-July, Pei Xiangxiang and the others embarked on their way back to Beijing.

This time, the trip back was not smooth. After only two or three days on the road, there was a storm. After resting in the inn for three or four days, the rain stopped, but within a few days, we encountered continuous high temperature.

After Pei Xiangxiang and Pei Sijing took turns to suffer from heatstroke, they had to change their strategy, so they had to get up and hurry before dawn every day, but after the sun came out, they had to find a place to stay to escape the heat. , and did not rest well, each looked haggard.

The road was bumpy, and when Pei Xiangxiang and the others returned to the capital, it was already mid-August, half a month slower than expected. As soon as they arrived in the capital, Pei Xiangxiang immediately sent tomato seeds to Qingyang Town. Before going out, Pei Xiangxiang moved his hands and feet first. The seeds were soaked in boiling water before being dried and bagged.

Pei Xiangxiang was very much looking forward to the expression of Huang Sanye and the others who had planted these specially treated seeds and waited for a bumper harvest.
