The eldest and second sons of the Zhou family came back quickly, and the eldest son of the Zhou family didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off his face. "Mom, what happened at home?"
Zhulan was embarrassed. Since the Wang family hadn't revealed it, she couldn't talk about the cabbage collection. It was hard to explain for the moment.
Zhou Shuren's smile became even wider. He had never made any mistakes since he came to Ancient Bamboo Orchid. This was the first time he saw someone so embarrassed. He coughed and said, "Your mother is thinking about buying a cow, so she hurried to find you to discuss it."
Zhou Laoer raised his head and glanced at his father quickly, almost rolling his eyes. It was his father who suggested buying the cow. His father was helping his mother out!
Zhou Lao Da, who is not smart, also has a wooden face. Dad, can you find a more convincing reason? Even if you say that mom misses them, it will be fine!
Zhulan blushed slightly. She didn't look at her two sons' meaningful eyes and said to Li: "Go and find out how San Ya makes her money."
Li loved doing this job and didn't feel like she was being shunned at all. She ran away fearing that she would be too late and the show would be over. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
Boss Zhou said dryly, "... ... ..Mom, if you have anything to do in the future, just let Li run errands. She runs fast."
Zhulan: “… … ..Yeah.”
Zhou Shuren brought his two sons back to the house. Zhou Shuren was not only helping Zhulan out of trouble, he had been thinking about buying a cow for a long time. Borrowing money was not a good idea. Borrowing money at a time would cost a lot of money. According to the number of times their family used cows, it would be more appropriate to buy a cow. They could buy a cow with a calf and raise it well to make a profit in the second year.
Zhulan did not follow in to wait for Li. Li came back quickly, running back and forth several times without taking a breath, "Mom, spicy cabbage, the spicy cabbage made by San Ya is pickled cabbage. I took a bite and it was spicy and appetizing."
Zhulan: "... Did you taste them all, or did you taste them alone?"
Don’t attract hatred alone!
Li recalled the taste and said, "I have tasted it all. I was there too late. If I had tasted it again, I would have known what was inside. It's a pity that Wang Zhang snatched it away."
Zhulan believed that Li could develop it. Spicy cabbage really didn't require much technical skills. It wouldn't take long for all the good chefs to make it. There would be a lot of long-term business. She turned and went into the house. "San Ya developed spicy cabbage. Li liked it very much. San Ya made a lot of money from it. It shows that spicy cabbage is popular. While everyone is still not aware of it, our eldest and second sons went to several nearby villages to buy all the cabbage that can be bought. In less than a day, the price of cabbage will go up."
Zhou Laoer was quick-witted and said, "Mom, my brother and I will go right away."
Zhou Shuren said, "This is just a quick way to make money in a hurry. Remember, if a pound of cabbage costs more than one cent, don't take it. Half of the money you earn this time will be paid to the government, and the remaining half can be divided in half among you!"
Boss Zhou did not say anything to refute. Everyone wants to have some private money in their hands. It would be stupid to refuse the private money that is openly and honestly.
Zhulan looked at Li who kept moving closer to her and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."
Li smiled flatteringly, "Mom, what can my family do?"
Zhulan's family can't contract it no matter how capable they are. There are too many villages nearby. "Go back and talk about it."
Li's eyes turned red. Although her mother always scolded her, she was very kind to her and never scolded her for being a traitor. "Mother, you are so kind."
Zhulan got goosebumps all over her body. "Stop imitating Zhao and put away your golden nugget."
Still think she wasn't bad enough at being criticized? She looked at Shen in panic!
Zhou Shuren stopped the two brothers who were about to leave after taking the money, "Go and tell your uncle's family that even if they don't make a lot of money, they can have more comfortable food."
Boss Zhou, "I know, Dad."
When Li came back, she brought back bad news, "Mom, I saw several families in the village picking cabbages."
Zhulan thought to herself, don’t underestimate the ancients, there were really a lot of smart people.
The only bad thing about the village is that there are basically no secrets. The cabbage harvest started very quickly, and in just one day the price of cabbage rose to one cent per pound, which is four times higher than in previous years.
Because Zhou Shuren had said that first, and Zhulan's family left first, their cost was the lowest, three taels of silver. Excluding the damaged leaves, they sold ten taels of silver, earning seven taels in one day and one night.
Spicy cabbage does not have much technical content, so the price cannot be high. The merchant charges 1.2 cents for the vegetables, and the cabbage costs more than 1 cent. After deducting the loss, he actually loses money.
Zhou Shuren's fortune-telling opened the eyes of his two sons. They felt that their father was unfathomable and no longer dared to have any ulterior motives.
Zhulan divided the silver among her two sons, and because she was happy she gave ten cents each to her third son, eldest son, and youngest daughter.
After getting the money, Li no longer thought about the cabbage. He started to try his hand at seasoning and wasted a lot of chili powder throughout the day.
It was almost time for dinner. Zhulan took some food and asked Li to cook. But Wang Ru came and sneaked out with straw on her body.
Xue Han had a deep grudge against Wang Ru, and said indifferently, "Mom, San Ya is looking for you."
Zhulan knew clearly that something bad was going on. Just because the Zhou family was the first to sell cabbages, Wang Ru must be very hateful to them!
