Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

"On the cabbage side, Ganniang and I will try to collect all the cabbage from Dashi Village in the next two days. Then we will arrange for someone to drive to a few villages nearby to collect them."

Lin Xiaoyue frowned slightly, "We are going to build a workshop at home, so Zhao Kang and Zhao Qiang can't leave for the time being."

"It's okay to send someone. Let Erya go and ask Brother Shuanzi if he is interested in continuing to do business with Brother Laishun."

"Let's just say that we want 10,000 catties of cabbage, and we charge it per penny per catty. We don't care how much they charge outside."

Cabbage is the most common vegetable, and every household with land usually grows some.

At this time of year, cabbage is produced in large quantities, and a penny a pound is considered a high price. If you go to the door to collect it, or even go to the ground to chop it yourself, I am afraid that it can be done for a penny or a catty.

Ten thousand catties of cabbage can still earn a few taels of silver in two or three days.

Zhou Shi's eyes brightened, "Sure! Then I'll go find Er Ya!" He said quickly.

"No hurry." Lin Xiaoyue stopped Zhou Shi.

Zhou Shi stopped and looked at Lin Xiaoyue, waiting for her to speak.

This girl, she is simply too powerful. With her there, their workshop will definitely make a lot of money.

Lin Xiaoyue stepped forward and grabbed Zhou's hand, then pulled Zhou to sit on the row of chairs under the tree.

"Today, when I was discussing cooperation with Mr. Liang and Mr. Zhou, you were not there, sister-in-law. I will tell you the situation first, so you have a good idea."

"Okay, I'll listen." Zhou Shi was moved and said.

Only then did Lin Xiaoyue tell the details of her cooperation with Liang Yu and Ye Zhou.

"Eight cents per catty of spicy cabbage, 20,000 catties is one hundred and sixty taels of silver. After deducting the workers' wages, the cost of the cabbage, the cost of the spicy cabbage sauce, and the cost of the jar, that's the profit from this batch of goods."

"I have already received the one hundred and sixty taels of silver. When you arrange for workers to complete the goods, we can share the first dividend."

She estimated that the profit from this batch of goods would be close to one hundred taels. To her, there must be a profit of nearly forty taels of silver.

In addition, she converted into raw materials according to fifteen cents per pound of dried chili, and she could earn more than two taels of silver on top of it, so it was not a big problem to finally get 40 taels of this batch of goods.

Compared to the tens of thousands of taels she got at one time, and the two Zhuangzis who got white, this amount of money is really not enough.

However, this is only the beginning. At present, the workshop has not been built, and the workers are not skilled and cooperate well enough.

When the workshop starts next year, it will be able to continue to generate income for her.

According to the price quoted by Lin Xiaoyue, Zhou pondered a little, and roughly calculated the profit of this batch of goods.

Then, according to the profit of 30%, he calculated the amount of money that he could get for this batch of goods.

"Adding up to seven or eight days, this batch of goods will be ready. The profit is not low."

This batch of goods should be distributed to her, and there must be thirty or so taels of silver. On average, there are nearly four taels of silver a day.

It doesn't sound like much, but it's more than a hundred taels a month. And this is just the beginning.

When the workshop officially starts, the profits will be very considerable.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

"You keep all the accounts. When this batch of goods is finished, we will settle the accounts. At that time, the completed accounts need to be shown to Shopkeeper Liang and Lord Zhou."

Since it is already a cooperative relationship, this bento is the first time to go through the process.

When Mr. Zhou heard that Shopkeeper Liang and Mr. Zhou were looking at the accounts she made, his expressions became nervous.

"This... I just listed and recorded it casually. Before... I didn't make an account." He said embarrassedly.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, "It's alright, when the time comes, you can hand over the listed items to Uncle Fu, and let him sort them out and put them in the account book."

Zhou Shi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "to make."

"Don't worry. Before the workshop starts, let's specially invite a bookkeeper to come over, and then you won't have to worry about the bookkeeping."

"That's good. However, you have to hire someone you can trust!" Zhou shi said quickly.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded, "Chosen, we'll ask Lord Wednesday to help you pay attention. In addition, we have to be aware of some expenses. In addition, after the monthly account is released, it should be safe to check with the outside accountant."

"Well, this is feasible." Zhou shi replied.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at the Zhou family, "You have been working hard these days, sister-in-law. When this batch of spicy cabbage is finished, there will be nothing to do for the time being."

"What's the hard work?! They do all the rough and heavy work, so I'll keep my mouth shut. Seriously, it's not a bad feeling to direct so many people to do things!" Zhou shi laughed.

The tone of this speech made Lin Xiaoyue laugh.

"Sister-in-law if you like it."

Lin Xiaoyue thought of something, and continued: "I plan, when this batch of spicy cabbage is finished, I will go to a few villages to have a look. If you don't mind, sister-in-law, how about going with me then? Just... help me. Stand up."

Zhou Shi smiled heartily, "What's the matter? When the girl wants to go, just call me! If you want to support the scene, don't say it. Zhuangzi Shang Liang and my cousin will arrange for someone to go, and those people are there. , who dares to disrespect you?"

Lin Xiaoyue acted like a spoiled brat and grabbed Zhou's arm, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I am more at ease with my sister-in-law!"

"Hehe, they're all a family, why are you being polite?!" Zhou Shi smiled and patted Lin Xiaoyue's arm.

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden sound at the door of the courtyard.

The two followed the voice and found that it was Liang Yu and the shopkeeper Liang who had turned back.

Seeing the two of them, Zhou shi's expression was startled.

"Master Liang, Shopkeeper Liang, but what have you forgotten?" Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Zhou, pretending not to see Zhou's expression, and asked Liang Yu and Shopkeeper Liang with a smile.

"Lin Dong's house." Shopkeeper Liang hurriedly entered the door, and cupped his hands at Lin Xiaoyue from a distance, his eyes kept looking around, as if he was looking for someone.

"Lin Dong's family, where is Young Master Li now?" Then he asked Lin Xiaoyue directly, looking very anxious.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liang Yu and asked.

Liang Yu gave Mr. Liang a warning glance, then stepped forward and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.

"I just walked halfway, and suddenly I remembered something and wanted to chat with Brother Li. I wonder if Brother Li is at home now?"

He felt that he was doing things safely, and this time he made a great contribution, so he told him about Li Xiao. I didn't expect him to be so frantic.

Shopkeeper Liang was instantly alert and stood aside without speaking.

At this time, Zhou Shi was relieved.

Young Master Liang and Shopkeeper Liang came back to find their brother-in-law, so it was nothing.

She was really afraid that it was Young Master Liang and his sister, who had a secret agreement, but she accidentally broke it.

With her sister on one side and the Zhou family on the other, it will be difficult for her to do it then.

fortunately……

Lin Xiaoyue wanted to laugh when she saw Zhou's reaction.

But he looked at Liang Yu, "He and Uncle Fu went to the workshop to count the materials. If necessary, I'll call him for you." After speaking, he was about to lift his feet.

"No, Lin Dong's family stays. Go find Brother Li by yourself." Liang Yu surrendered to Lin Xiaoyue again.

Then he left with Mr. Liang.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, stopped, and did not say anything to keep the two of them.

I couldn't hold my breath enough to come back so soon.

Zhou saw that Liang Yu and Shopkeeper Liang had both gone out, and Lin Xiaoyue was still staring at the door, and then glanced in the direction of the door again.

Just when she was about to talk to Lin Xiaoyue, Lin Xiaoyue had already withdrawn her gaze and looked at her.

"Let's go, sister-in-law, let's take a look at your records. Look for those who have registered before and have a lot of cabbage in the fields."

"Oh...Okay." Zhou Shi then left with Lin Xiaoyue.

On the other side, Liang Yu took Shopkeeper Liang to the workshop and found Li Xiao.

"Brother Li, can you take a step to speak?" Seeing Li Xiao, Liang Yu's expression changed.

In front of others, the image of the aloof noble son, there is still two points of humility.

Li Xiao just glanced at him lightly, "The last two piles of materials have not been counted yet, you guys go to the side and wait." He said coldly.

Shopkeeper Liang, who was behind Liang Yu, moved, and before he could speak, he was shot by Liang Yu with a warning look.

Shopkeeper Liang hurriedly returned to his bowed posture again, not daring to say a word.

In fact, he didn't plan to do anything, but was surprised by Major General Nangong's attitude.

After all, the status of their patriarchs is not ordinary, even His Highness would not neglect the patriarch like this.

But when he got to this Major General Nangong, he turned out to be—

It is rumored that this major general is taciturn and unfriendly, but it seems to be true.

"Okay, let's go, wait for Brother Li to finish his work." Liang Yu cupped her hands at Li Xiao, and took the shopkeeper Liang to the side.

And Li Xiao, under Zhao Fu's surprised eyes, continued to count the materials.

After a while, with Zhao Fu's deliberate acceleration, the last two piles of materials were finally counted.

"Uncle, there is still something in the house, the old slave will retire first." After finishing the matter, Zhao Fu hurriedly saluted Li Xiao.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Liang Yu and Shopkeeper Liang who were still waiting there not far away.

Liang Gongzi actually came to look for the uncle, and his attitude was very respectful. This is unusual.

The uncle said that he was from a slave, but where he looked, he did not think that the uncle was ordinary.

Now that Young Master Liang respects his uncle so much, even the young lady doesn't have such a big face in Young Master Liang's place. The identity of the uncle is afraid that it is extraordinary.

Having worked in a large family for most of his life, he knows that without the consent of his master, there are some things that cannot be pondered and asked blindly.

"Yeah." Li Xiao didn't care about Zhao Fu's eyes, and answered lightly.

Zhao Fu just left.

When Zhao Fu was far away, Liang Yu asked Shopkeeper Liang to pay attention to the surrounding situation, and then walked towards Li Xiao.

"Major General." When Li Xiao approached, Liang Yu bowed to Li Xiao and shouted in a low voice.

When he heard Liang Yu's name, Li Xiao just glanced at him lightly, but his expression didn't change.

Seeing this, Liang Yu's face was filled with joy.

"Sure enough, it's the Major General! If the First Prince knows that you and His Royal Highness are still alive, he will be very happy!" said excitedly.

Li Xiao looked at Liang Yu.

"Li has nothing to do with His Highness." When his father was alive, he did praise the First Prince a lot.

But despite this, the Great General's palace never got close to the first prince, or any prince except Qing'er.

Liang Yu smiled embarrassedly.

"The major general and the old general fought on the battlefield to protect Dayan. The first prince has always respected and admired. It is natural for His Royal Highness to be concerned about the safety and whereabouts of the major general and the ninth highness when an accident happened in the palace of the great general."

Li Xiao looked straight at Liang Yu.

Seeing that Liang Yu quickly looked away.

"Before—before Liang had been staying in Nan'an County, he was ordered by the First Prince to let Liang explore the whereabouts of the Major General and His Royal Highness." But he continued under pressure.

The name of the shaman is indeed well-deserved.

Before this person also restrained the sense of oppression on his body, and it was not so scary.

But at this moment, he was full of momentum, looking at him condescendingly, so that his breath was a little unstable.

"Now that someone has been found, you can also go back." Li Xiao said lightly. Finally put away the momentum of the body.

Liang Yu looked up at Li Xiao, and instantly felt that the pressure was less than half.

"few--"

Just as he said a word, he saw Li Xiao reached out and interrupted him.

"The past has become a cloud, Nangong Xiao and Murongqing have already died under the pursuit of killers. Dayan, there is no longer the palace of the Great General, nor the Young General Nangong." Li Xiao looked at Liang Yu.

"The one standing in front of you is Li Xiao, the most common villager in Dashi Village."

Seeing Li Xiao, there was no unwillingness in his eyes, only indifferent, Liang Yu was surprised and puzzled.

"I beg your son Liang to go back and tell the eldest prince that Li Xiao has no intention of participating in court disputes, and only wants Xianyun Yehe to spend the rest of his life. Please don't worry about him."

"Also, Qing'er will only be Xiao Qing in the future, and will have nothing to do with the royal family."

Liang Yu was shocked again. It is unacceptable that such a proud son of heaven should be the head of Qian and lead a mediocre life.

"Less—" He wanted to persuade Li Xiao.

But he just said a word, but was stopped by Li Xiao's eyes again.

The huge sense of oppression caused Liang Yu's complexion to change instantly, and she lowered her head.

But Liang Yu was an ordinary person, and would be scared off by Li Xiao's look.

I saw him bowing to Li Xiao again.

"Brother Li, you and I both know that the palace of the Great General was framed and convicted. The name of the Great General Wang I was destroyed, and the Nangong family, except for you and the Ninth Highness, have all become ghosts."

"Have you never thought about redressing the injustice of the Great General Wang and the Great General Wang's residence?"

Noticing a wave in Li Xiao's eyes, Liang Yu hurriedly continued: "Even if you are disheartened about the imperial court and don't want to be involved in the disputes in the imperial court. But if you want to retreat, others may not let you go."

"Previously, you made the false appearance that you and His Highness the Ninth Highness fell off a cliff and died. Although the two corpses are of the same height as yours, when you can't conclude that they are you, with that suspicious temper, you think he will believe, Are you and Ninth Highness really dead?"

Seeing another wave of fluctuations in Li Xiao's eyes, Liang Yu was greatly encouraged and continued: "Actually, the several forces in Beijing have never given up to continue looking for you and His Royal Highness. It's just that they are no longer as blatant as before. ."

"Otherwise, why do you think I will find Nan'an County?"

Li Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he instantly looked at Liang Yu.

The killing intent in his eyes made Liang Yu feel terrified.
