Chapter 748 Li's Purchase of a Mountain
Li almost didn't dare to recognize him, "What have you been doing for the past month? How come you are so thin?"
She feels so heartbroken. Where is her chubby daughter?
Why are you so dark and thin?
Wu Ya said distressedly: "I have been so busy this month. There is nothing over there. The accommodation and food are bad. It's tiring and sunny. Isn't it like this?"
Although Zhou Guo was busy before, except when he fled to the north, he had never had such a time when he was always clean and pure.
Seeing him in such a state at home, everyone in the family was heartbroken.
Zhou Su and others kept picking food for her.
Li Lai said: "Sister, please wait a little longer. I will be able to help you when I grow up."
Zhou Su nodded, "Yes, I'll help you too. I'll go collect the manure and ashes."
Zhou Mi almost spit out a mouthful of food, "We're eating, what are you talking about?"
Zhou Guo and the others burst into laughter.
Zhou Su said innocently, "What's wrong? What's so hard to eat? I didn't let you see it, nor did I throw it in your bowl for you to eat."
Zhou Gu nodded, "I've encountered everything when I was fleeing."
Zhou Mi was speechless.
After dinner, Zhou Guo played with Xiaohua for a while, chatted with his family for a while, and then went to the farm.
During this period of time, things at home were arranged in an orderly manner. After all, Zhuangzi had been traveling for several years. Wu Jiang could handle any matter, and Zhou Gu could handle anything that Wu Jiang could not handle.
He can now stand on his own and is no longer the Zhou Gu of previous years.
These years of experience have paid off.
Everyone in the village was very happy to see her come back.
The happiest one was Hei Dadan. He had been away from her the longest time in such a long time, more than a month. Whenever he saw her, he would pounce on her and whimper and bark, and lick her face with his tongue.
Zhou Guo hugged it and smiled, "Okay, okay, okay, I will take you with me wherever I go next time. I was wrong."
It took a long time for this guy to stop licking.
Sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms have been coming out in batches over the past month or so, and all shops except a few restaurants have stocked up on the fresh goods.
This is the time when sheep mushrooms are available. People will sell them every two days in the vegetable market, but the quantities are not large.
One pound sold for forty cents.
A large amount of fresh sheep mushrooms come out of the mountain product shops every day. Whether it is the shops in the county or the prefectural capital, they are always very popular.
Compared with the dried lamb mushrooms that cost several hundred coins per pound, the fresh lamb mushrooms that cost forty coins per pound are more popular, taste better and are more tender.
Rich families buy them by the basketful.
After a month, she found that the goods sold in these shops were much more than those sold in several prefectures combined.
In this way, even if several cities no longer want her goods in the future, she will still be able to sell them.
Therefore, he opened shops in several county towns.
One in each county.
The main reason is that there are more goods this year, and there will be more goods in the future.
Her mother secretly bought two more mountains in the next village, which were bigger than these two, so she didn't worry about whether she could sell all the crops she planted.
I just want to buy something when I have money. Since I can’t buy land anymore, I can buy some mountains.
It’s more profitable than farming.
A pound of mushrooms is much more expensive than a pound of grain.
Zhou Guo looked at the two mountains and thought that the terrain was not bad, similar to the two mountains at home.
Li said, "How do you think it is? In the past few years, when I went to the market, I had to pass by these two mountains. I always felt that they were very similar to the two mountains at home. Do you think they are suitable for growing sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Mom, this mountain belongs to other villages. Why did you come to buy it?"
Li said, "This land is good and close. You can go to other counties to buy shops and land. Besides, these two mountains are close to our village. If we don't have enough manpower, we can just hire villagers to do temporary work."
Every family in Cangshan Village is rich now, and all of them own houses and shops in the county town. Why would they want to work as temporary workers in their homes to earn money?
There is not even a single temporary worker available in the village.
This village is just right. It is not that rich and there is no need to hire temporary workers from other places. It is great that one call can get hundreds of responses.
Zhou Guo walked around the mountain and was very satisfied. "Mom, how much did you spend on these two mountains?"
Li sighed, "No, maybe he knows what I bought these two mountains for, and he also knows that my family is rich. I spent 1,300 taels to buy these two mountains, which are much more expensive than the two mountains I bought at the beginning!"
Zhou Guo comforted him: "It doesn't matter, you will earn it back in a few years."
Thinking of something, he smiled again, "It's just that mother, you also know that I will be busier and busier in the future. At home, either Wu Jiang or Hu Zi and Quan Zi will take care of things. My eldest brother also has to take care of the outside world, so we won't have time to take care of these two mountains."
Li was confused, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that we don't have time to take care of these two mountains. You bought these mountains, so you have to take care of them yourself. After the fungus is planted, you have to fertilize, take care of the management, and pick the fruits. Of course, you don't have to sell them."
Li stuttered, "I...can I do it? I've never been in charge."
Zhou Guo said, "Why not? Everyone has gone through the same thing. Look at my eldest brother. He stuttered when he first spoke in front of people, but now he can handle everything. This is something that is acquired through practice."
Holding her arm, he smiled and said, "Mother, if you manage these two mountains well, you can keep the profits yourself in the future. You don't have to hand them over to the government. This is a gift from your daughter to you."
These two big mountains produce a lot of mushrooms every year, and the profit will not be less than four thousand taels. With the money in hand, you will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
Li quickly refused, "How can that be possible? This money belongs to the public, and the future profits will naturally belong to the public. Besides, although your aunt is no longer aware of it, she is still here. It is not good for us to do this. Unequal distribution will become the root cause of chaos in the family."
Zhou Guo said: "Then I will give you this money later. In addition to the money I gave to the public, I have also earned a lot myself over the years. This money is enough."
Li shook her head and refused. "I know you are doing this for mother's sake and want me to have some savings, but your aunt must have some too. We are sisters-in-law, and Zhou Gu has been busy all this time, so you must have some too."
Zhou Guo sighed. She just wanted to buy some property for her mother so that she would not be left with nothing.
Later, when her three sisters-in-law came into the family, her nephew's wife came into the family, and her son's wife came into the family, each of these daughters-in-law had generous dowries, but she, as an elder, had nothing.
If I have a child in the future and I can’t even give a decent gift, I’d be laughed at.
After listening to her muttering, Li said, "What kind of joke do they want to see? My Zhou family was born from the peasants. If they want to see jokes, then they are not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of my Zhou family and cannot even enter our house."
No matter what, Zhou Guo had this matter deep in his heart. It would not do for the two elders to not have anything of their own in their hands.
But on second thought, all the money in the family is now in Li's hands, and she holds the power of the family, so it seems that no one dares to disrespect her.
