Xiao Ming sent the carriage all the way out of the wooden bridge, watched the carriage go away, and then slowly returned home, thinking about how much money she had earned this time. Two hundred and fifty jars of wine equaled four thousand and fifty taels of silver. One hundred ginseng pills cost 500 taels of silver, and today they sold for 4,550 taels of silver.
Not to mention the ginseng pills, there are still about 200 jars of fruit wine at home. If they are all sold, they can earn more than 3,000 taels. This is just the money from selling the fruits that are ripe earlier. The fruit seedlings planted in the orchard use space water to speed up their growth. The fruits can be harvested in less than two months. If they are all turned into wine, it is expected that tens of thousands of jars of fruit wine can be produced.
There are also three vegetable fields and two chrysanthemum fields. The products from the future will only be sold for more money than today.
How to deal with such a large amount of money is still a problem. She does not advocate leaving it in the space to get moldy. It is just a piece of paper. Only by spending it on useful landowners can it realize its value.
In her previous life, she earned more and spent more. If she had more money, she would donate most of it, and with the remaining money, she would give herself a vacation to go out and walk around.
But it doesn’t work in this ancient world with backward transportation and information. I don’t know who to turn to if I want to donate money. The time is not yet ripe for travel. This era is too unsafe. I don’t know if a bandit or something will suddenly pop up on the road. , didn’t Xiao Ming’s eldest brother and sister-in-law disappear inexplicably when they left home?
The only use is to buy more land, or buy a few shops and houses in the town or Pingcheng to collect rent, buy the remaining wasteland east of Qiaodong, and cultivate it to plant fruit trees. She has no intention of buying other land in the village.
The common man was not guilty of the crime, but he was jealous because of his wealth. Now they all make the villagers jealous, and they will get into trouble if they show off again.
Therefore, the only way to buy land and property is to purchase it elsewhere, and it must be done secretly.
All the way back home, Xiao Ming had a rough idea of the family's future plans, but she saw Ms. Song sitting in a daze, with a few words popping out of her mouth from time to time, which she couldn't hear clearly.
"Aunt Song, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ming asked worriedly, obviously irritated. When she saw no response, he shouted again and reached out to pull her sleeve.
"Aunt Song."
"Ah! Sister Ming, you're back." Ms. Song was startled, regained her composure, looked at Xiao Ming in front of her, hurriedly ran out and closed the door, then came back and closed the door in the room.
This made Xiao Ming confused, "Aunt Song, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, is Mrs. Lin gone?"
"You're back, why did you close the door?"
"There are only two of us at home. It's safer to close the door. You must close the doors and windows at night and pay attention to safety." In just one afternoon, in less than two hours, Xiao Ming earned several thousand taels of silver from selling fruit wine. While Mrs. Song was happy for them, she couldn't help but worry. There was no adult in the family who was strong enough to work. What if there were thieves and robbers? What would they do if they were three children? It was really worrying to think about it.
"It's okay, isn't Maomao here? He patrols the night every night." Xiao Ming said with a smile, Maomao is there to support him.
"I know, but you must be more alert at night and be careful." Mrs. Song did not forget to warn, "And don't tell the villagers about selling the money, so as not to get into trouble, you must hide the money. ." There are all kinds of people in the village, and wealth touches people's hearts. After knowing that Xiao Ming has so much money, God knows what they will do to Xiao Ming, the three orphans who have no father or mother.
"I know, I must have hidden it well." Xiao Ming was moved, took out another fifty taels of silver, handed it to Aunt Song, and said sincerely:
"Mrs. Song, please accept this money. You have been tired these days."
"What are you doing with so much money? I don't lack food, drink, or anything. Keep it for yourselves. You will have more money when you use it in the future." Mrs. Song hurriedly postponed it. She knew that Xiao Ming was rich now, but she Still unwilling to accept Xiao Ming's money.
Xiao Ming gave her everything she had been eating and drinking these days, and she ate whatever fruits she wanted. Xiao Ming even gave her new cloth to make clothes for her to wear. Now that she had no worries about food and clothing, she didn't need any money or money at all. The place.
Xiao Ming gave her ten ginseng pills a few days ago and asked her to take two pills every month. She ate ten taels of silver in one month. If she had known that the medicine was so expensive, she would not have taken it even if she was killed.
Mrs. Lin also gave herself a box of Xue Yan Mu, which she regarded as a treasure. She had received too many things and benefits from Xiao Ming, so how could she have the nerve to take Xiao Ming's money again.
"You have been tired from making wine these past few days. Now that I have sold the money, just treat it as wages." Xiao Ming insisted that Mrs. Song accept it. Mrs. Song was busy helping out, and she was responsible for all the chores at home. Go ahead and don't let Xiao Ming do it.
Xiao Ming's persistence made Mrs. Song anxious.
"I don't need money. How can I only get fifty taels of wages for a few days? You give me food and clothing now, and I still need money. Where do you want me to put my face?" Mrs. Song said angrily.
"But..." Mrs. Song helped them a lot, but Xiao Ming still insisted on giving money. As soon as she spoke, Mrs. Song interrupted her.
"Just keep the money with you. I'll pick it up from you when I need it. If you continue to be so polite, I won't dare to come to your door again." Ms. Song refused and thought of a compromise. .
"Okay, I'll save it for Mrs. Song." Helpless, Xiao Ming had no choice but to keep the money.
"Aunt Song, we made some money today. Let's add more food tonight and make more delicious food to reward everyone." Xiao Ming suggested. Everyone has been tired from making wine these past few days.
"Okay, there is still a pig's trotter in the kitchen. I'm going to stew it and give it a good supplement for everyone." Mrs. Song was also happy. Now that the conditions are better, Xiao Yiming often asks Xiao Han to bring some meat, ribs and the like in town. You can go home and eat whenever you want.
