Chapter 123: Make money, make money

The whole family was very excited, but Su Wanqiu sighed in her heart and said to herself: It’s not possible to have good seeds. Look at these beets, they are like malnourished cabbages. God knows that I have tried my best to supply enough fertilizer, but in the end, the yield per mu is at most 2,000 kilograms, which is half less than the modern output. Alas!

While thinking about it, I did not forget to remind my family to pick large and beautiful leaves to keep the seeds. The beets will take two years to grow, so it is not easy to expand the production scale.

The family spent two days like this, and they were all harvested with two acres of beets and eight acres of soybeans.

The yield that made Su Wanqiu sigh shocked the villagers' chins. Even Su Mingjiang, who seemed to know everything, was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time when he looked at the beets piled up in hills in the backyard.

Su Wanqiu sent Su Yunxu to Fang's mansion and told Fang Xuesong that the beet had been harvested. It was because he contacted the vehicle to come and take it away, or was he going to deliver the goods to his door?

Fang Xuesong was not willing to miss this opportunity. The next day, he arrived with two carriages that were pulling goods. After entering the door, Su Yishan and others were warmly treated. However, Young Master Fang was not at all concerned about them. He finally had a few words of greetings with Su Mingliang, and couldn't help asking: "Where is the third girl?"

Wang said hurriedly: "Strange, I saw it in the yard just now, why did it disappear now? I knew that Young Master Fang came here today, and this child is really..."

While speaking, he went out with Liu and called everywhere. Suddenly, Su Wanqiu's voice came from far away from the backyard: "I understand, I'll go back immediately."

"What are you doing, your child... Uh, you are watching lotus flowers? Really, what's the good thing about it?" Wang shook his head and muttered, while hurried back to the room, the other party said, "I'm looking for it, I'm watching lotus flowers in the backyard..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Fang Xuesong stand up and said happily: "When digging pond mud in the mansion, the third girl asked for a few kilograms of lotus root, but now she has grown it? I have to go and have a look."

After saying that, he rushed away excitedly, and Wang and others naturally followed him in a hurry. Here, Su Wanchun smiled at Su Wanxia and said, "I really didn't expect that people like Young Master Fang also like to take credit. The lotus flowers are not just the lotus that they took from his mansion, but they obviously got more in the Shen Mansion."

"You should say a few words, don't look at anything else, just look at how many lotus flowers you have pinched this summer and put them in bottles. You shouldn't make things difficult for the third sister."

Su Wanxia glanced at Su Wanchun, and Su Wandong also slapped his face with his hands and said to the elder sister: "Shame, thanks to my third sister's fault, I'm not aware of it. If it were me, those lotus flowers made you pinch so many, I would have turned against you long ago."

"Hmph! You don't need to use the power of the third sister to pretend to be a tiger. If it were yours, I wouldn't be able to move."

Su Wanchun spat and got up and went out. He saw Fang Xuesong and Su Wanqiu come back side by side, followed by a family behind him. The two were talking about the growth of lotus roots in the pond. Su Wanqiu just laughed and said that this year is not enough. He can send hundreds of kilograms to Fangfu next year, and he will be able to eat lotus roots freely in the next year.

Fang Xuesong is not interested in lotus roots, but he just likes to listen to Su Wanqiu's words, and he likes to watch her talk and talk in a lively and energetic manner.

When the group arrived in front of Beet Mountain, the eldest young master's eyes suddenly widened in shock and murmured: "I thought why did a rockery start here? I haven't looked closely yet. I only said that this rockery is rare and powerful. Who knew it was beet, and this... I'm afraid it's not four or five thousand kilograms?"

"Young Master Fang has good eyesight."

After all, he was the financial owner, and Su Wanqiu flattered him at the right time: "After harvesting for two days, the amount of scales was 3,966 kilograms, because I still had to keep the seeds, otherwise I could add a few hundred kilograms, which was exactly two thousand kilograms per mu."

"The yield per mu is 2,000 kilograms..."

Fang Xuesong stared at Su Wanqiu and murmured for a long time: "Miss San, are you Shennong coming to earth? I have inquired about it. Even sugarcane from the south does not have this yield."

“Don’t sugarcane be there?”

Su Wanqiu was stunned, but then she reacted and sighed: "It should be limited by the ground force and seed fertilizer, otherwise the production of sugarcane will not be less than beets. It doesn't matter. As the excellent varieties are cultivated, the yield of sugarcane will increase. I... my fourth brother and I will also work hard to cultivate and optimize beet varieties."

"Yes, our fourth boy likes to farm with his third sister."

Don’t mention Wang’s joy, and I wish I could hold Su Wanqiu and kiss her on her face: It’s not in vain that Yunxu worked hard with her for a year, and such a good opportunity to show her face, but she didn’t forget to take the child. You know, Young Master Fang is Prince Rong’s brother-in-law. If you chat with his brother-in-law in the future and mention this matter, wouldn’t Yunxu have registered with Prince Rong?

The more I thought about it, the more beautiful it became. Wang fainted without happiness. When he came back to his senses, Fang Xuesong laughed and said, "What else do you call me? Can I trust the third girl? I told me that these beets are calculated based on 4,000 pounds, and I am afraid that they will treat the girl badly."

"Not to be," Su Wanqiu smiled and shook her head: "Since Young Master Fang is satisfied, let's install it in the car?"

"good."

Fang Xuesong also brought people here, so the Su family naturally became more enthusiastic. In less than an hour, four thousand kilograms of beets were filled with two large trucks. Fang Xuesong asked Su Wanqiu and said, "Four thousand kilograms of beets, each kilogram costs fifty cents, which is a total of two hundred taels of silver..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Wanqiu said, "I was wrong. One pound should be forty cents, and it was the price last year."

Fang Xuesong smiled and said, "Miss, I don't know that the price of sugarcane this year has increased compared to last year. It costs 60 cents per pound. If you take off the shipping fee, it's just right. What's more, you can't take too much loss when you take care of beets in a storm."

"Okay, then thank you Young Master Fang."

Two hundred taels of silver are just a drop in the bucket for Fang Xuesong. Since the eldest young master is generous, Su Wanqiu will be as good as a stream of good deeds.

"Does the girl want a silver bill or cash bill? It's easier to carry the silver bill with you, and it's easier to trade in cash."

"Silver, of course, requires silver. Two hundred taels. I have not seen so much silver yet."

Su Yishan was shouting behind him, but Su Mingliang stared at him. He turned around and saw his granddaughter smiling at him: "Grandpa, what do you think? Do you want silver bills or silver?"

"It's better to have a cash currency, since Young Master Fang has brought it all."

Not to mention Su Yishan, even Su Mingliang hasn't seen so much silver in most of his life. When his family was rich, he was still a child, so who would have taken him to the warehouse to see the money?

"Okay, you have to cash in."

After Su Wanqiu finished speaking, Fang Xuesong nodded and said to Shu Yun: "Go to the carriage and bring the box of silver."

Shu Yun agreed and came back a moment later, holding a small box in his hand, then opened the lid in front of the Su family, and saw two layers of small silver ingots covered inside, dazzlingly bright and tempting under the sun.
