Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 270: Hands off the shopkeeper

After this incident, the situation in Jixiang County has stabilized.

The relationship between Xia Daohua and Wang has also become much closer.

Eunuch Wei sent a steady-looking middle-aged man over, opened a small shop near Daohuaxiang, and started a business selling dried fruits and roasted seeds and nuts.

The so-called roasted seeds and nuts are stir-fried melon seeds, roasted chestnuts, stir-fried walnuts, etc. Add some seasonings and stir-fry until mature and make snacks.

The prices are generally not cheap, but they are not particularly expensive either.

During the Chinese New Year, families with children at home will buy some roasted seeds and nuts so that they can entertain guests and entertain their children.

However, that person's main responsibility was not to do business and make money, but to run errands and spread messages between Xia Daohua and Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei was illiterate, and he always felt that many things would be stolen if left on paper, which made him feel unreliable, so it would be better to discuss them face to face.

On the first day that the roasted seeds and nuts shop opened, Dao Huaxiang came to visit Xia Daohua and told her clearly about the person sent by his father-in-law Wei.

If you have anything, you can ask him to pass it on, no need to be polite at all.

Xia Daohua accepted this "kind offer" because she knew that Eunuch Wei's godson not only ran errands between her and Eunuch Wei, but also had the "mission" of monitoring her and supervising her.

Although Eunuch Wei didn't dare to openly offend her, he also didn't dare to let her power be openly displayed to tempt her. Wouldn't it be a big loss if it were used by the enemy?

Therefore, he could only look at her fearfully and try his best to ensure that she was on his side.

Xia Daohua understood this concern and did not mind whether the other party would use any means against her. She just smiled and congratulated Wei Jizu on the opening of his new store and wished him a prosperous business.

Wei Jizu didn't understand why his godfather sent him here in person to keep an eye on this little girl. After all, whether it was sending messages, running errands, or spying secretly, he could find someone under him to do it.

If you let him do it, wouldn't it be overkill?

But although the godfather was illiterate, he had never made any mistakes. Since he arranged this for himself, he had to do it right.

Wei Jizu never expected that within a few days, he would get the task.

The little girl actually asked him to send a message to her godfather without any courtesy.

What's even more frightening is that the godfather actually got the message and came over in person!

The two of them went to Yangji Teahouse for a tea, which lasted for a full stick of incense. After that, they even invited the county magistrate’s wife, Wang, to accompany them!

Wei Jizu was full of questions, but until his godfather didn't say anything, he couldn't take the initiative to ask, just pretend he didn't see him!

Wei Jizu honestly guarded the door personally. Even when the waiter came to bring tea and water, he took it with his own hands and brought it into the house himself, not letting anyone else get close to him.

This effort was not in vain.

After drinking the tea for a while, the godfather came out with a glowing face. He patted his shoulder cheerfully and gave him a twelve-weight gold ingot for him to pay.

Even if they drink the best tea in the store, they still can't use up ten taels of gold!

Why is your godfather so generous today?

Wei Jizu bowed and sent his godfather Wei Eunuch and the county magistrate's wife Wang away, who were all smiling, and left the teahouse. He straightened up and watched the smiling little girl Xia Daohua follow them and walked out.

, while he was wondering what good thing had happened to his godfather, he stayed to deal with the aftermath.

Wei Jizu calmly put the gold ingot in his arms and took the money bag to settle the bill. In the end, he only spent two or eight coins, which was enough.

Ten taels of gold ingots are equivalent to a hundred taels of silver.

I made a lot of money on this trip!

Wei Jizu happily returned to the roasted seeds and nuts shop, but the more he observed Xia Daohua, the more he couldn't restrain his curiosity.

Wei Jizu's curiosity was quickly satisfied.

Eunuch Wei told him: "Let Xiao Qi choose a few people to help. There must be two stewards and two guards. As for the rest, let him take care of it himself."

Wang's side also told Si Xi: "Bring up the booklet of the whole family and I'll see if there is anything suitable."

Xia Daohua happily became the hands-off shopkeeper.

However, she still contacted Xia Youtian and Erlang, and after discussion, decided to ask fifth uncle Xia Youliang and fifth aunt Cheng what they meant.

Xia Daohua plans to set up a red brick workshop and a cement workshop. The profit of the red brick workshop is meager, so Eunuch Wei and the Wang family are not very fond of it.

But for the Xia family, the profit from the brick kiln is much higher than farming.

Previously, Magistrate Yang and the Wang family had swiftly and resolutely cracked down on several grain shops, selected some of the confiscated real estate, put them together with the convicted female relatives, and arranged the sale of official teeth in Jixiang County.

The women's property was sold very quickly, but the real estate was poorly received.

Firstly, because the effect of killing chickens to scare monkeys is so good, local merchants are frightened and plan to wait and see again; secondly, it is also because the land was previously designated as government land and allocated to refugees for farming, which makes these local merchants unwilling to

Dare to take action.

Not only do they not dare to take action, some merchants with shaky foundations are still trying their best to smooth over their past mistakes, and even secretly sell off some land slowly to prevent future troubles.

Xia Daohua inspected a few sites and took her fancy.

She bought a small village covering an area of ​​less than 30 acres, close to the southern suburbs of Jixiang County, closer to Kyoto.

Although the place is small, it has all the essentials.

There is a naturally formed hill with many wild trees and grasses, as well as many small animals.

There are three or four sloping fields that have been cultivated, but the yield is really not very good. There are about 12 acres of fertile farmland and 6 acres of sandy land.

There is also a half-acre lotus pond.

There are also two deep wells drilled in the village, with tall manhole covers built so that even if there are children running around the village, they will not fall in.

What Xia Daohua is most satisfied with is a water diversion canal that has been built in all directions.

During the dry season, this canal makes irrigation very convenient, and during the rainy season, this canal can also divert water and release floods.

In addition to this small village, Xia Daohua also bought two pieces of land in the countryside in the northwest of Jixiang County, planning to use them to build red brick workshops and cement workshops.

The red brick workshop was just that. Neither Wang nor Eunuch Wei took the hard-earned money seriously. But the cement workshop made the two of them light up.

They knew that Xia Daohua had many good things. But they did not expect that they would have a chance to get a share of the pie and make a fortune together.

Eunuch Wei and Wang kept a polite distance. Both parties regarded each other as Xia Daohua's supporter and were polite to each other.

Xia Daohua snickered secretly.

She naturally saw the two people's concerns about each other, and smiled inwardly - smart people just think a lot, and you don't even need to say anything, they will just make up for it.

She is actually too lazy to care about specific matters, so it is not difficult to bring these two people together and find some management talents from someone.

All she had to do was provide some technology. What's more, she also bought two pieces of land, which required a larger investment than just providing technology.

It shouldn’t be too much to be a hands-off shopkeeper!

Today I accidentally dropped a bottle of Feizhai Happy Water on the ground, and I was so stupid that I didn’t react. The moment I unscrewed the cap, I saw what a Coke fountain is... I was poured with a chill. ^_^ Good night

, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
