When I was young and had never left my hometown, I always felt that the outside world was very big and other cities were far away.
In fact, it is all an illusion.
For example, the five days from Xieyang County to Anshui County were enough time to eat and drink well, and to go to the inn in the evening to get some rest.
If it were a single horse working without sleep, it would take at most a day and a half to reach the place.
Zheng Ruqian also traveled to Anyang County, Yunshui County, and explored cities in several other places, only to realize that the world is very big, and there are many places farther away.
In comparison, the distance from Anshui County to Xieyang County is nothing.
At least five days will arrive in the blink of an eye.
Sitting in the carriage was not a comfortable day, but it was not crowded for two or three people. The brother and sister were half lying down, and they were rarely in high spirits when they got off.
Jiang Sheng energetically pointed to the straw pile with candied haws on it, "Second brother, candied haws."
It's rare that she doesn't have a big brother around to take care of her. She wants to eat as much as she can and enjoy it to the fullest.
But imagination is beautiful.
In fact, Zheng Ruqian only paid for one bunch and licked off half of the bunch with his mouth, leaving only four red fruits standing pitifully on the wooden stick.
"...The second bad guy." Jiang Sheng was stunned, his mouth flattened, and he almost cried.
Zheng Ruqian didn't tolerate her, so he stuffed it into his mouth, "Do you want to eat it? If not, I'll eat it all."
Jiang Sheng's eyes widened, and he didn't dare to pout or make a fuss. He hurriedly grabbed the remaining four candied haws and stuffed them into his mouth with relish.
Eat quickly, eat quickly. The second brother's mouth is so big that he can stuff four red fruits in one mouthful. When he swallows it and takes another bite, there will be nothing left.
When there was no core left on the wooden stick, Jiang Sheng reluctantly threw it away.
Wang Xiaosong on the side felt a little distressed and whispered, "Master, the girl likes to eat, so buy more for her."
Zheng Ruqian glanced at this silly boy, "Do you think I don't care about my sister? My elder brother said that she is going to have her teeth replaced, and eating too much sweets is not good."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have worked so hard to eat half a bunch of sour candied haws.
The teeth are still a little soft now, and I don’t know why Jiang Sheng likes them so much, tsk tsk tsk.
Wang Xiaosong stopped talking. Although he was a few years older, he had to admit that he was really not as knowledgeable as his boss.
Sure enough, traveling thousands of miles is the best way to increase your knowledge.
Thinking that he would be like this in the future, smart and mature, he was full of expectations for the future.
After the brothers and sisters had a full meal on the street, they found an inn to stay.
The small courtyard I rented before has been canceled because I didn't come back often.
Fortunately, the inns in Xieyang County are not expensive. You can book a room for a few dozen yuan and stay there for three to five days. Miss Jiang can also afford it.
"But we can only stay for three to five days." Jiang Sheng told Zheng Ruqian, "Second brother must decide what to sow as soon as possible."
Zheng Ruqian was speechless.
The family obviously makes a lot of money, and they have gone from abject poverty to a little savings, so why is my sister still so stingy?
But he still had to promise, "I will try my best, try my best."
That day, they did not go back to Shili Town to see the 30 acres of land. Instead, they went to nearby villages to find some farming practices and inquire about the planting and picking times of different crops.
For example, peanuts are planted in March and picked in September.
For example, wheat seeds need to be sown in November and harvested in early summer.
He was obviously a child who knew nothing about agriculture, but he was forced to memorize the planting and picking dates of dozens of vegetables. He also knew that some vegetables can be harvested in two seasons, namely early spring and early autumn.
Two days passed, and under Zheng Ruqian's sweet words of "aunt and grandma", the old ladies had already told the planting and picking dates of all the vegetables and grains grown in Xieyang County.
But I still haven’t found any relatively valuable vegetables that were planted in September and harvested in April.
Zheng Ruqian felt depressed and took Jiang Sheng to wander on the street. When he accidentally walked to the door of Youranju, he stopped in his tracks.
Although Xieyang County is a small town, Youranju still maintains a high customer flow, and even the food prices are unparalleled. It is an absolutely wealthy restaurant.
In the past, when I was young and didn’t understand, I had the courage to send mushrooms and vegetables here. Now that I think about it, I am really ignorant and fearless.
At his current age and current state of mind, Zheng Ruqian wasn't sure if he would still have the courage.
"Ah, Uncle Bai." Jiang Sheng saw an old acquaintance and jumped happily. "It's rare to meet him. I want to buy something for him. By the way, I want to ask him if he wants something special if I make it."
Before I even made it, I dared to ask the restaurant if I wanted it.
Zheng Ruqian turned his head in surprise, "Xiao Jiang Sheng, let me ask you...if you were as poor now as you were two years ago, would you still dare to sell things to Youranju?"
Jiang Sheng turned around in confusion, wondering why his brother would ask such a question.
But she still answered honestly, "Why don't you sell it? How can you make money if you don't sell it? How can you eat if you don't make money?"
"But..." Zheng Ruqian was still a little confused, "What if Youran doesn't accept it."
"If they don't accept it, there is always somewhere to collect it." Jiang Sheng tilted his head and smiled, "If we don't make money from this person, then let's find someone else to make it."
As soon as she finished speaking, shopkeeper Bai in the restaurant also saw them and waved with a smile.
Jiang Sheng immediately ran over happily, not forgetting to tell Jiang San to buy some bags of cakes.
Maybe the shopkeeper of a restaurant doesn't need just a few pastries, but they buy them because they will always remember shopkeeper Bai's kindness in collecting the dishes.
"Uncle Bai..." the little girl's voice was as clear as ever, "Long time no see. How are you?"
"Still as tough as ever." Shopkeeper Bai's face was full of kindness, "Why are you willing to go back to Xieyang County if you haven't stayed in Fucheng?"
"Oh, although Fucheng is nice, there is no Uncle Bai. We missed you, so we came back."
"You little girl, you have such a sweet mouth..."
Youran Curie is an intimate conversation between young and old.
Living leisurely outside is Zheng Ruqian's shock and innovation from the inside out.
His sister's words opened up a new world for him, and suddenly he discovered that it was not an accident that he was able to sell mushrooms and vegetables, but because he had a brave sister.
Don't care about other people's wealth or the cold looks of others. Keep your goal in mind. No matter how you run, there is only one destination.
It is precisely because of this that she is not afraid of setbacks, hardships and dangers, and she has no "awe" mentality.
She dares to go to Youranju in Xieyang County, and she is not afraid of Youranju in Fucheng.
But Jiang Sheng's biggest flaw is that she doesn't have much ambition. She just wants to eat and drink enough, and live well. She doesn't covet a life of gold and silver.
Fortunately, Zheng Ruqian was greedy.
The brave Jiang Sheng met the ambitious Zheng Ruqian. The brother and sister went further and further on the road to money. They complemented each other and neither could succeed without each other.
After thinking about this, Zheng Ruqian's spine suddenly straightened up.
He may have been timid and cowardly for half his life, but as long as his sister is around, he will move forward.
"Shopkeeper Bai, long time no see." The twelve-year-old boy had already begun to be personable and walked into Youranju with a smile.
Shopkeeper Bai took a breath and looked at Zheng Ruqian with a somewhat complicated look.
He watched this boy grow up. From being timid at the beginning, to now buying land and hiring people to work, the twelve-year-old boy has already gained a reputation and reputation in Xieyang County. He has heard of many People secretly called him "Zheng Yuanwai".
I don’t know how it will grow in the future.
Based on this, shopkeeper Bai expressed his greatest goodwill, "I just heard from Xiao Nizi that you want to grow vegetables from September to April next year. There is no suitable one in Xieyang County. You can look to other counties. As long as the temperature It’s almost the same, as long as it can be planted.”
Just in time, the second brother passed by carrying a plate of wild rice and a plate of fried burdock with eggs.
Zheng Ruqian's eyes suddenly lit up.
He asked Jiang San and Jiang Si to bring the specialties of Xieyang County, and ten kilograms of sausages, and bumpyly headed to Yunshui County. While paying a visit to Magistrate Pang, he also asked clearly about the planting and harvesting dates of wild rice and burdock.
Wild rice is divided into two seasons, but the latest harvest time is June, which conflicts with beans.
Then there is only burdock that can be divided into spring and autumn.
Autumn burdock is planted in August and September and harvested in March and April of the following year. It is also very expensive and perfectly meets all requirements.
In the future, when the thirty acres of land are harvested, they can not only sell it to Youranju, but also bring down other cities and make two more profits.
Zheng Ruqian was so happy that he pulled a cart of burdock himself, and asked Pang Pangshan to pull a cart as well. He also hired some day laborers to study in Yunshui County, and finally planted the burdock seeds.
For a time, the reputation of "Zheng Yuanwai" became more popular.
Zheng Ruqian was a little proud and planned to take his sister back to Fucheng to show off to his brothers - before you all have become famous, I already have a name.
But just after leaving the inn room, a group of people got on the carriage and were stopped before they left the city.
It was a group of women dressed in red and green, with faces full of excitement, blocking the front.
The appearance of the leader was not outstanding, except that his eyes were big and beautiful, just like Zheng Ruqian's.
She opened her mouth and called out resentfully, "Qian'er..."
