Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

Chapter 790: 790. A Thousand Catties of Salt

Sun Shisheng is the eldest son of the landlord. The landlord's family raised many pigs. Before that, Chu Qingzhi went to their house to buy many piglets.

Landlord Sun was also worried, and said, "The New Year is approaching, and everyone has kept their pigs for sale. The price of pork in the market is dropping every day, and now we can't make much money by selling them."

Sun Shisheng said anxiously, "If you don't sell it now, the price will drop even lower in the future, and you won't be able to make any money."

Landlord Sun didn't say a word. Now that the price of pork is one a day, it's not easy to sell. He is also very troubled.

Sun Shisheng said, "Father, you should quickly think of a way. Silence is golden."

Landlord Sun was irritated by Sun Shisheng's words, "If I could have thought of a way, I would have bought the pig, and I still need to listen to you here. You are young and smart, why didn't you think of a way."

Sun Shisheng said brightly, "Father, you are wrong to say that. As the saying goes, Jiang is still old and spicy. I am young, but I am not experienced enough."

Landlord Sun glanced at his son, snorted, got up and left the house.

Sun Shisheng touched his nose, and he really wanted to think of a way, but he couldn't do anything because he didn't have enough brains.

Landlord Sun wandered around the village, then the pig shed, and then came to Chu's Village.

I've always heard that Chu Qingzhi is smart, and now her family is a commoner in her fief, so you can ask her if you have any problems.

With this in mind, Landlord Sun quickened his pace.

...

Chu Family Village.

With everyone's efforts, Chu Qingzhi's bamboo house slowly took shape.

There are a total of seven rooms in the bamboo house, three of which handle three kinds of business, one is used for waiting for people who come to do business, one is used for storing materials, one is used as a warehouse, and the remaining one is used as a spare.

There is a small yard in front, when the time comes, plant some flowers and plants to decorate it...

Father Li is a good house builder. After Chu Qingzhi's observation, his craftsmanship is no worse than An Shanwu's, but his personality is too honest, he can only be a worker, not a manager.

With him looking at the bamboo house, Chu Qingzhi can handle other things with peace of mind.

Chu Qingzhi went to the county town, bought some dyes at the dye shop, and then went to the medicine shop to buy some medicinal materials.

Bamboo houses need to prevent insects and dampness. Chu Qingzhi plans to prepare a paint with dyes and medicinal materials, and then apply it to bamboo houses. It can not only dye, but also prevent insects and dampness.

She prepared the paint and just handed it to Father Li when she saw Landlord Sun walking towards her.

The two had business contacts and knew each other.

Landlord Sun saluted respectfully, "I've met Marquis Qianhu."

Chu Qingzhi looked at Landlord Sun and said, "Excuse me, Landlord Sun has something to say." These people only come to her when they encounter problems that cannot be resolved.

Landlord Sun frowned into a figure-horoscope, "The pigs at home can't be sold, can the girl think of a way?"

Selling pigs is a business, and Chu Qingzhi will pay part of the business tax with the money from the sale.

After Chu Qingzhi was canonized as Marquis of a Thousand Households, the tax of Chu's Yimao didn't have to be handed over to the government, it could just be given to her directly. Giving it to her meant that there was no need to pay taxes.

The commercial tax is 20%, and Chu's Yimao has to pay one thousand taels of silver to the government every month. After paying no tax, the family is happy for a long time.

Chu Qingzhi asked, "How many pigs do you have that can be sold?"

Landlord Sun hurriedly said, "There are one hundred and fifty heads, and each head weighs more than two hundred catties. In fact, they can be sold, but the price is too low..."

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself, the family needs a lot of pork, but they already have the supply and signed the contract, if they buy more, there will be more pork, so they can only find another way.

A cold wind blows...

Feeling the cold wind, Chu Qingzhi had an idea in her mind, can pork be used as bacon? !

In this era, the price of salt was high, and the common people did not have the awareness of curing bacon, so there was no bacon.

Pork can be used not only as bacon, but also as sausage, cured pork ribs, and sauced meat. These are all very good pickled foods.

In addition, pig hair can also be used to make toothbrushes, and fat meat can be used to make soap soap. Some people buy these, and one pig can use them all.

There are toothbrushes in this era, but the workmanship is relatively rough, and they can barely be eaten.

Chu Qingzhi said, "Sell your pig to me?"

Landlord Sun was very pleasantly surprised, "Do you want all the girls?"

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "I bought it at the normal price, but I need to prepare some things, and I have to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to slaughter, can you wait?"

Landlord Sun was very happy, "You can wait, you can wait, the girl has helped me a lot."

Chu Qingzhi said, "You go back first, I will send someone to notify you when the time comes."

Landlord Sun hurriedly responded, "Yes, please, thank you, Miss."

"En." Chu Qingzhi returned to the room and wrote down a list of spices, pepper, kaempferen, cinnamon and other raw materials for marinating bacon, followed by the weight.

After finishing writing, take the list to Chu Haodong, "Buy everything before noon tomorrow."

Chu Haodong took the list and looked at it, "OK."

At this time, an unexpected person came to the village, "Girl, I have something important for you."

Chu Qingzhi turned her head to look, it was Master, "Master."

The master came on horseback, a scholar, riding a horse was quite difficult for him, after he dismounted, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chu Qingzhi, "This is the salt you asked the emperor for, two hundred dan a year (one dan equals 100 jin, two hundred dan equals 20,000 jin)."

He secretly said that Chu Qingzhi was the first person who dared to ask the emperor for something, and he admired it.

The point is, Yanyin is the most difficult thing to deal with at the moment, and the emperor gave her two hundred dan directly, which is too partial.

Chu Qingzhi smiled slightly, "Thank you, Master, for making a trip, why don't you go home and have a cup of tea?"

Master waved his hand, "No, no, I have other things to do, hurry up."

Chu Qingzhi said politely, "Then master, go slowly."

Master cupped his hands, "Farewell."

Chu Qingzhi looked at Yanyin again, when she fell asleep and passed the pillow, she could use Yanyin to buy salt from 'Quarantine Services' at half the price, saving money again.

Discussion of goods: specialize in the operation of national monopoly items such as tea, salt, iron, etc., accepting money from merchants to give coupons, and selling fragrant medicines and elephant goods in China's salt. There are corresponding agencies in cities and counties.

Before Chu Haodong left, Chu Qingzhi led the salt to him, "Go and buy a thousand catties of salt immediately and come back."

"Yes." Chu Haodong felt that he had grown up again. He could still see Yanyin in this life, and he could use Yanyin to buy salt. Others did not have such an honor.

With Yanyin, buying salt went very smoothly, and the 'Quarantine Services' knew that it was Chu Qingzhi who bought the salt, and quietly gave her ten catties as a good deal.

...

The yard gate.

"Qingzhi!" A slender pretty girl in a pink dress walked towards Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi looked over, "Wanwan."

After more than three months of recovery, Yu Wanwan's body has not only returned to normal, but also has curves. In addition, she is tall, which makes her look very seductive.
