Chapter 112 Start of large-scale fruit tree planting
Everyone was sweating profusely after the meal.
Xiao Jingxuan and Hong Longfei took the initiative to clean up the dishes and boil water to wash the dishes. Chunxi's three maids had no chance to intervene.
Tao Quan and the others were stunned: "Am I dreaming? Jamel Xiao can wash dishes?"
Qin Jinhua exclaimed in surprise: "I suddenly feel like he has grown up a lot."
The two of them stared at the kitchen, watching with great interest and muttering to themselves.
Ye Tang didn't have the heart to disturb them, and quietly went to take out the sour plum soup that had been chilled in the well in advance.
The sky darkened, and everyone, who had eaten and drunk their fill, surrounded Ye Tang and were extremely amazed when they heard her talk about making ice from saltpeter.
Xiao Jingxuan, Tao Quan, and Hong Longfei brought the ice basin to the yard, and they stood around it, looking at it and touching it again and again, like three curious babies.
Ye Tang and Qin Jinhua entered the pavilion, lit lanterns, enjoyed the cool night breeze, drank sour plum soup, and chatted about small business.
Qin Jinhua wanted to take tomatoes, prickly cucumbers, peppers and other fruits to Beijing to sell.
"I know you don't grow much. We can take some over first and let the dignitaries in the capital have a taste. Once they are addicted, we can lure them to place an order."
She even thought of making the reservation.
Her master's business is related to jewelry, but after tasting the flavor of tomatoes and other things, it is not impossible for him to start other businesses.
Ye Tang agreed to cooperate with her, but on one condition, that Qin Jinhua take care of her brother.
Ye Ping'an is very smart and has a lot of ideas when doing business. When he sees something, he will subconsciously think about how to make money with it. But he is still young after all and has not seen the world. He can barely do small business, but he can't hold up big business. He needs to work with experienced people to gain experience so that he can grow faster.
She knew a lot of business concepts, but had never put them into practice. Moreover, the ways of doing business were very different in different dynasties, so she could not teach Ye Ping'an much.
Qin Jinhua is different. She is a princess and her ancestors were in business. She herself is also in business and has sufficient experience. Ye Ping'an can learn a lot from her and also make some connections.
I just don’t know whether Qin Jinhua will agree or not.
"I agree." Qin Jinhua agreed without thinking: "I met your brother last time. He is a very smart boy. Leave him to me. Don't worry."
All he had to do was teach a young boy and he could reach a cooperation with Ye Tang and get the right to sell tomatoes and other things. It was a good deal that was sure to make a profit, so why not agree?
Helping Ye Tang train his younger brother is equivalent to helping Jamel Xiao consolidate his position in the family, so that he will not be easily thrown out of the family because of laziness in the future.
Qin Jinhua said: "Let Ping An come to my house tomorrow, and I will take him to meet some people."
Ye Tang was very grateful: "Thank you, sister."
"We are family, it's too formal to thank you for such a small thing." Qin Jinhua took a sip of the sour plum soup: "It's really delicious, better than the one in my house. I will definitely come to your place often to eat and drink, and don't bother me when I get there."
"No, I haven't said enough to welcome my sister yet!" Ye Tang said with a faint smile.
The two of them also discussed selling peppers and other things to the capital.
It's hot today, so vegetables are difficult to preserve, but they have ice, so they can send them to the capital as quickly as possible. However, by then, the vegetables may not be fresh.
But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t affect the selling price at all.
Qin Jinhua excitedly set the selling price.
When Ye Tang heard the price she set, he was dumbfounded: "Sister, why don't you go and rob it?"
A mere chili pepper is sold at 100 taels per pound, which is simply a sky-high price!
Do you really think that those powerful people in the capital are just stupid, rich, and easy-to-use dupes?
Qin Jinhua smiled slyly: "You don't understand the spending power of those people in the capital. No matter how short of money they are, they will spend money everywhere for the sake of face. Scarcity makes things valuable. While the emperor doesn't know about peppers and other things, we must make a lot of money from those people."
If something new appears under the feet of the emperor, it will not escape the emperor's eyes. Once it catches the emperor's eyes, the emperor will definitely let Ye Tang spread the seeds and encourage all farmers to plant them.
By then, these things will no longer be rare.
But if they are not taken to the capital to sell, these things cannot be sold at a good price in Wutong County, and it is also difficult to sell them outside.
Ye Tang originally intended to bring chili peppers to the capital, and Qin Jinhua's move was exactly what she wanted.
When Qin Jinhua and the other person left the Xiao family, they packed some vegetables and sugar.
The next morning, Ye Tang went to the county town and brought Ye Ping'an to the Tao Mansion.
Qin Jinhua invited her to have lunch.
Afterwards, Ye Tang left Ye Ping'an and went to Baiwei Fresh alone.
Five days later, the reclamation of Ziyan Mountain was completed, and some tomatoes and peppers were ripe. Ye Tang packed some and sent them to Qin Jinhua. Qin Jinhua immediately asked someone to keep them fresh with ice and sent a reliable person to deliver them to the capital.
The temperature gradually drops in autumn, which is very suitable for planting fruit trees.
Ye Tang has been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Husband, I'm going out to buy some fruit tree seedlings and plant all over Ziyan Mountain with fruit trees." Ye Tang was lying on the bed discussing the purchase of seedlings with Xiao Jingxuan.
Jamel Xiao was stunned for a long time, and looked at her with a strange expression: "What kind of fruit trees are you planting?"
Ye Tang smiled and said, "We plant all kinds of fruit trees."
“Where can I buy it?”
“Buy it outside.”
Jamel Xiao looked at her in silence.
Ye Tang just smiled faintly.
After a moment, Jamel Xiao sighed softly: "Do you need me to accompany you?"
His eyes were full of anticipation.
Ye Tang hummed: "Yes."
Jamel Xiao breathed a sigh of relief visibly: “Thank you, my lady.”
The fact that his wife agreed to take him to buy fruit trees showed that he had entered her heart.
He's so lucky.
Xiao Jingxuan has always known that Ye Tang has a secret. She made her secret known to him, her father, and her brother, but she did not tell them what the secret was.
She didn't say anything and they didn't ask. They just cooperated and only asked her not to completely exclude them and not give them any trust.
As soon as it was dawn, Ye Tang and his friend had breakfast and went out. Hong Longfei also went out, but took a different route from them.
Ye Tang and the other person did not go far. They went to a villa in the county town.
After arranging the ten servants to go out, Xiao Jingxuan stood guarding the gate of the courtyard. Ye Tang stood in the courtyard and entered the seed space with a thought.
The space was filled with banknotes given by Xiao Jingxuan, gold, silver and jewelry sent by Qin Jinhua, banknotes earned from Tao Quan, and her dowry. All of her and Xiao Jingxuan's property was here.
At the beginning, the seed space could only store seeds and farm tools, and other things could not be put in. However, as she bought more and more seeds, the word "storage" appeared on the purchase screen of the seed space.
She clicked on the word "storage" and spent one hundred taels of silver to upgrade the seed space into a seed storage space.
Anything can be put into the space except living things.
It's like a walking warehouse.
Unfortunately, the warehouse space size cannot be upgraded and remains the original size.
