Chapter 34 A 360-degree change in the attitude of the villagers
This beet can be used to make sugar!
In ancient times, sugar was generally squeezed into juice from sugar cane, but after mass production, even if sugar cane was used as raw material, the sugar yield was not high.
Therefore, the price of sugar per catty is 50 cents. You must know that people's daily wages are only 20 cents. After calculation, buying a catty of sugar requires two and a half days of work.
The cost of growing sugar beets is much lower than that of sugar cane. Even in the 21st century, sugar beets are the main raw material for making white sugar.
In addition to beet seeds, Jiang Ci also saw a pack of red pepper seeds and a pack of green pepper seeds. He was a little surprised.
Because chili peppers were not yet popular in ancient times, the spiciness in people’s meals mainly came from dogwood. She didn’t expect to see these two types of chili peppers here!
Red peppers are full of spiciness. One pepper is often added to a dish to make it spicy and fragrant. Moreover, the red peppers can also be dried and ground to make chili noodles. Add a little when grilling meat, it is very enjoyable!
Although green pepper is not that spicy, it is a good ingredient for cooking: scrambled eggs with green pepper, shredded pork with green pepper, and roasted green pepper are all very delicious.
"These two kinds of seeds were exchanged by our boss and foreign countries. They are all gathering dust and no one wants them. If the girl really wants them, I will give you a cheaper price. How about I charge you 100 yuan for these two packets of seeds?"
"Okay!" Jiang Ci responded readily,
In the end, all the seeds were added up, and Jiang Ci spent one tael of silver.
After leaving the door of the grocery store, Jiang Ci threw the seeds directly into the space, and the planting robot in the space immediately started sowing.
Afterwards Jiang Ci went home from town,
What was different from the past was that the villagers who had shunned her in the past two days were now very kind.
"Sanlang's wife, have you just come back from town?"
"Sanlang's wife, how's the business in town today? Come and sit with your aunt when you have time!"
"I just said that Sanlang's wife is a promising person. Otherwise, how could she marry the scholar?"
Jiang Ci had been hearing such words since she entered the village, and she just responded with a slight smile on her lips!
She probably knew about the change in the attitude of the villagers, probably because she knew that their family had made money, but who had spread the news?
Just when Jiang Ci had such doubts, she knew when she passed the big locust tree in the village.
I saw a sallow-faced woman under the tree, with bright eyes and a loud voice: "Isn't that right? My sister who runs a stall in the town is at the stall next to Sanlang's wife. She said Sanlang
The fried chestnuts with sweet-scented osmanthus and sugar made by her daughter-in-law are not enough to sell every day. Every day, people in the town come to wait for her in front of the stall with a stick of incense in order to eat the chestnuts she makes! She saw this with her own eyes.
Is there still a lie?"
"People in the town can still afford the products made by our farmers? Isn't it because Sanlang's wife sells them cheaper?" A young woman in the crowd questioned!
"Cheap? Ten cents a pound is not cheap?" the sallow-faced woman asked back.
"Hey! That's really not cheap! How did Sanlang's wife sell it? Chestnuts are so expensive!"
"Then this is what people are good at. I woke up early this morning. I didn't even cook anything and just stood guard at the door of Sanlang's wife's house. Sure enough, I saw Sanlang's wife, Wubao and Da Niu. They pushed me early in the morning.
Went to town with a cart full of chestnuts! I heard from my sister that Sanlang’s wife’s stall can sell 2 taels of silver a day!”
"Two taels of silver? Real or fake?" When it comes to money, the eyes of women in the village glow green.
"of course……"
The sallow-faced woman was about to answer, but when she saw Jiang Ci from all the way, she stopped talking and hurriedly ran to Jiang Ci.
"Hey! Xiaoci, aren't you doing business on the street? Why are you back so early today?"
Jiang Ci raised his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him. He didn't even have any interest in reasoning and continued walking on his own path.
The sallow-faced woman only stiffened for a moment, and then continued to look at the front and back diligently: "Hey, Xiaoci, what did you buy? Is it heavy? Come, aunt, get it for you! Hey, this is
Pork! Xiaoci, how much money did you make today? Hey, here are pastries!"
The woman used one hand to forcefully take the thing in Jiang Ci's hand, while the other hand was already picking out what was inside. When she saw what was inside, she became more and more frightened.
All her thoughts were attracted by the thing in Jiang Ci's hand.
She completely ignored Jiang Ci's increasingly cold eyes: "Isn't this Aunt Xiuhong, who was mocking my family of all old, weak, sick and disabled people in front of Mrs. Shen's door?"
Jiang Ci put his hands behind his back to block the woman's touch!
This woman is the one who scolded Mrs. Shen most harshly yesterday at the door of Mrs. Shen’s house. She is a vengeful person!
And Wang Xiuhong was not embarrassed at all when Jiang Ci refused to touch her.
Yesterday, she was kicked by Jiang Ci. She hurriedly went to the town to find her sister and planned to ask her sister to take her to the medicine hall. She had already thought that after getting the medicine in the medicine hall, she must let Qian Guixiang take it to her.
The money compensation is doubled,
If they don't pay, then go to the county government! Anyway, Qian Guixiang's family is rich, so why shouldn't they pay for her medical expenses?
Unexpectedly, as soon as she went to town, her sister first talked about this little girl Jiang Ci’s movie! She said that she earned 2 taels of silver from selling chestnuts every day, and hired several workers. The wages alone alone cost more than 30 taels of silver a day.
If his son also helps sell it~
As soon as she came up with this idea, Wang Xiuhong's chest was no longer tight and her body was no longer uncomfortable. When she came back, she was thinking about how to tell Jiang Ci about this!
Now let her take the chance,
"Khan, isn't it that my aunt is short-sighted? Xiaoci, please forgive my aunt for such a bad mouth! She didn't mean it. Besides, you see that your family now eats pork and cakes. My sister-in-law can't do it all her life.
I haven't eaten it a few times. You are so rich, why do you worry about it for your sister-in-law?" Wang Xiuhong said sourly!
But she saw that the kraft paper on the pastry was the signature of Wufangzhai in the town! The pastries there are famous for being exquisite, and also famous for being expensive! I heard that a piece of pastry costs 50 silver!
Jiang Ci laughed angrily at Wang Xiuhong's words: "Care about it? Of course I care about it! Haven't my sister-in-law heard: The richer people are, the more they care about it? Besides, I have money, how I spend it, that's my business, and it's not about anyone else.
What does it matter if you care about what your sister-in-law does?"
After Xiao Ci finished speaking, she passed directly by Wang Xiuhong.
Wang Xiuhong hurriedly chased after her: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my aunt who said the wrong thing. In fact, she has something to do with you, Xiaoci! You said the business in your town is so good, but you are a woman.
I'm too busy, so I'll ask your Brother Erzhu to help you. They're all from the same village, and I won't give you more wages, just 50 wen a day!"
Wang Xiuhong had a giving tone,
Jiang Ci was too lazy to talk to her anymore. Her cheap husband needed several rare medicinal herbs to treat his illness. It was too expensive to buy them with money. She planned to go to the mountains to try her luck. It would take 2 hours to go back and forth in the deep mountains.
What's the point of wasting time on irrelevant people now?
