Chapter 33： The wind blows?

Chapter 33 Brought by a strong wind?

"Why are you saying this again? You can't leave your mouth for three sentences."

"Then let's not talk about them, I'm not angry enough, the berries you asked Ruyi to bring over just now are really delicious."

"After a while, there will be melons in Fucheng. I will sell some more. The melons are also delicious."

"Different melons and fruits have different tastes. You are doing the right thing in this business. Otherwise, how could our family eat so many kinds of fruits?"

"You will eat whatever I sell in the future."

"When summer is over, what are you selling? There will be no watermelons then, and there will be no need to sell ice cubes."

"There are a lot of things to sell, don't worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, I will sell this first, and then think about what to sell in autumn and winter."

"My sister is optimistic about you. When the time comes, I will eat whatever I have and make you poor."

"Hey, you want to eat poor me, you have a big appetite, be careful to become fat."

Day by day, the stall’s business is booming, watermelons are selling well, ice cubes are selling well, strawberries are selling well, and even the new melons are selling well.

As long as the rich people in the small town come to praise her, it's not because of the face of shopkeeper Lu.

But the food is so good that even the shopkeeper of Jingtai Restaurant buys fruit from her.

With this combination of fruits, the business of the restaurant has improved a lot.

You can sell about 20 watermelons a day, 800 taels per melon, 16 taels of silver, and 500 taels of strawberries a day. of income.

Melons are basically sold by the size. Qiao Mai has never used a scale. A palm-sized melon can be sold for 20 yuan apiece. Because it is cheaper and delicious than watermelon, you can sell at least fifty of them every day, that is one two silver.

There are also ice cubes, and there are two taels of silver per day, which adds up to less than thirty taels. Calculated on the basis of twenty days in a month, that is six hundred taels.

Shopkeeper Lu was behind the counter, flicking the abacus, and she was shocked by this settlement.

My dear, how can a small stall make so much money?

Unexpectedly, Qiao Mai's words made her lose her spirits.

"Sister, my things don't cost anything? Did the watermelons, melons, berries, and ice cubes come from the wind?"

"Even if the cost is removed, can you earn a few taels a day?"

"A few taels are still available."

"Then it's worth it. A month is a hundred and ten taels, and a year is a thousand taels. Compared with ordinary shops, you can earn more. I don't think many vendors are jealous of you?"

"Then they sell it too, and I didn't stop them."

"The former were afraid of wolves, and the latter were afraid of tigers. They were afraid that they would rot if sold. They couldn't afford to pay for such a precious thing."

"Then it's worth it, I can afford it."

Speaking of this, shopkeeper Lu took out a cloth bag from the counter.

"Here you are, those two palace fans are sold, one for two hundred taels, two for four hundred taels, five to five cents, this is two hundred taels."

"I see small money every day, and see big money from time to time. This day is really beautiful."

"When will you embroider a big piece?"

"Next month, these two months are when the weather is hot, and palace fans sell the fastest. When the weather cools down, I'll embroider a suit for you. Remember to sell it for a good price."

Shopkeeper Lu's eyes lit up, "I'll wait."

Where did the clothes come from? It’s not the ones on her shelves. The craftsmanship is guaranteed to surprise the jaws of ancient people.

Whether it's embroidery or clothing style, wearing it on the body is like a fairy going down to earth.

The fabric seems to be similar to the ancient ones, but if an expert comes, they will definitely say that this fabric is only found in the sky.

I hope that I won't cause trouble to shopkeeper Lu, and I must communicate with her carefully, otherwise the clothes will definitely not be sold.

One thing is worth mentioning.

That means the quails have started to lay eggs. Of the seven quails, it seems that two of them have never laid eggs, which should be males, and five females. They lay an egg almost every day, and she has never eaten these eggs.

After searching some information on the Internet, Qiao Mai found a wooden box, covered it with straw, put quail eggs on it, covered it with a layer of cotton, took it out of the space and put it in the room where she slept.

The indoor temperature in summer is just right for them to hatch, so there is no need to find old hens.

The shells will emerge in about twenty days, and there are already a hundred of them in the space. She plans to add quail eggs to the sales queue starting next month.

It doesn't matter if you don't know the goods, she will teach diners how to eat this.

Believe that under the attack of her three-inch tongue, the diners will definitely surrender and take out their money, buy some to cook and eat at home.

Since the bay red horse came to the house, it seems to have become stronger again, and it is provided with delicious food and drink every day. Qiao Mai named it Dongzao.

For it, Qiao Mai also specially planted four quarters of grass in the space, which is tender and fresh. When mixed with bean noodles, the horses are cute to eat.

Especially when she is happy, she will get some fruits, radishes and the like for it from time to time.

Looking at those warm big horse eyes, you can tell that when you see Qiao Mai coming, you are happy to have fun, and you really love this master too much.

In the black land in her space, a quarter of the land will be planted every five days, and a batch will be harvested every five days, that is, in ten days, she can plant the same fresh seed in it.

She didn't have any experience in farming before, but now she knows how hard it is for farmers.

This is still sometimes when she uses her mind to harvest. If she doesn't use her mind, she will be exhausted by the space directly.

Four parts, four parts and four parts, she now has several acres of land in the space.

Watermelon, strawberry, melon, forage, corn, wheat, rice, millet, sorghum, etc.

She plans to plant all the hundreds of seeds she bought.

Qiao Mai silently calculated in her heart that she could plant three kinds of seeds in a month, and thirty-six kinds in a year. She would have to plant at least ten years to free her hands and feet.

Just think about it. It's impossible to cry, but it's almost impossible to laugh.

Ten years later, what she wants can be taken directly from the space, and the old man can copy it after the black land, so that she will have endless resources, and she can laugh out loud in her dreams.

By July, all the quails have laid eggs, and a hundred can be harvested a day.

There are almost forty one catty, and it looks like two and a half catties can be harvested in one day.

It seems a bit small, only two and a half catties. Seeing that there are quite a lot of quail, it is really not enough to sell it.

Seeing that the two wing rooms were empty, she smiled and decided to make room for raising quails.

When she came back from closing the booth, while it was still early in the day, she cleaned up the side rooms on both sides, and moved all the things to the pit.

Wrap the ground with wooden boards to prevent quail from running out of the house, and put clean broken straw under it. One house can raise about 100 quails, and four rooms can support four to five hundred quails.

Just go to the room, she is afraid that shopkeeper Lu will bite her if he finds out.

This is someone else's house, or a new house, it can't be too much.

It's July, and it always rains from time to time in Tianshui Town. In a month, she spends much more time at home than out of the stall.

In addition to doing embroidery work, I usually observe the hatching of quail eggs.

The two apprentices come here every now and then to ask the master for advice. Ruxin and Ruyi's embroidery skills are getting better and better.

She is also very respectful to her as a master. In summer, the two girls each made two sets of new clothes and gave them to her. Sometimes when they went to the county town to see beautiful jewelry, they would not forget her as a master.

Qiao Mai was very satisfied with this.

So, she saved up a batch of small quail eggs, intending to let the two apprentices try them out, and boiled all three catties of quail eggs.

"Come, apprentice, have a taste."

The two girls stared at the eggs on the table, "Master, are these bird eggs?"

"No, how can so many birds lay so many eggs?"

"Then what kind of egg is this?"

"This is a small fowl called a quail."

"Where did Master get it?"

"I saw it in a flower and bird pet shop in Fucheng. I bought seven of them for a tael of silver. The eggs hatched. Now there are quite a few of them."

"Where did you keep them?"
