Chapter 211: Mom, I don’t spend money
Do you want to buy tea fruit?
Su Qingyu thought about it all night. Reading МThe answer is: Receive!
It must be acquired. What's the point of always making wedding clothes for others? She's not a philanthropist.
It costs nothing to raise a child.
Lu Xiaobao looked at his mother obediently. I don't understand why his mother suddenly looked at him.
It’s a good thing that he is not sensible now, otherwise I have to ask, where will it cost to raise him? I don't eat as much as you, and I don't use as much fabric as you. I only cover a small corner of my quilt, so why do I spend money?
"Mom, eat."
Xiaobao held up a shelled tea seed and fed it to Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu scratched his little nose: "Silly son, you can't eat this. I'll buy you something delicious after my mother exchanges it for money."
After saying this, he told Mother Lu and her daughter, and then went into the room to do some calculations.
Should we harvest raw tea fruits or tea seeds? How much does it cost per pound?
Three pounds of fruit can be used to peel one pound of tea seeds, and one pound of seeds will yield two to three ounces of oil. The current oil extraction technology is immature, so the oil yield rate must be reduced. Three kilograms of oil from ten kilograms of tea seeds is probably enough, but two kilograms of oil should be fine.
This needs to be seen in person. If the oil extraction tool is really not working, the oil yield will have to drop.
What price will be paid for the acquisition? You can't lose money and make a profit, so you might as well sleep with your son in your arms. Fuck that idleness.
A pound of pork used to cost 20 cents in Fengting Town, and fat pork cost 25 cents. Now the price has doubled.
One pound of fatty pork can be used to refine sixty-seven taels of oil, which means that fifty cents cannot be used to refine one pound of oil. How much does this tea oil cost per pound?
Ah, bald. Headache!
It seems that I have to go to Renzhou.
One is to go to the oil shop to take a look, and the other is to meet the caravan manager who bought their mountain goods last time. Camellia oil is a good thing, but I don’t know if he knows the stuff.
If no one knows the goods, then she collects a bunch of tea fruits and squeezes out the oil to use it for bathing?
A must go. She is good at cheating, negotiating and so on.
But it takes many days to go back and forth, so we can’t wait for her to come back and then collect it, right? We can't just let the tea fruits rot on the mountain.
receive. Must be collected. If we can't sell this batch, we just hoard the oil for our own consumption. Fried fried dough cakes, fried meatballs, fried pastries, and all kinds of fried cakes every day.
After figuring it out, Su Qingnao called over Zhongzhai Master and Baishu.
Let the leader of Zhong Village promote it in Baijia Village, she wants to harvest tea fruits. Raw tea fruit costs one penny per catty, and peeled tea seeds cost four cents per catty.
Then let Baishu take a few people from the village to shout at other villages.
After Zhongzhai Leader and Baishu repeatedly confirmed with her, they ran away like the wind.
Raw tea fruit is worth a penny and a pound!
With quick hands and feet, one person can pick two to three hundred kilograms in a day. The tea fruit is very heavy. Even a child can pick dozens of kilograms. That family... Oh, how much money does that cost?
As for Su Qingyu, she couldn't wait for others to bring tea fruits, so she immediately took Siyuan Siyuan and a sack of peeled tea seeds to Renzhou City.
It will take many days to leave. Will Xiaobao be taken with him?
I thought about it for a long time and took it with me. Children are only at ease when they are under your nose.
They took the cattle in the village and hitched a cart to the gate of the village, and then the three adults and one child drove to Renzhou City.
Pei Nian, the governor, did not expect that he would see Siyuan Siyuan again just now, and Su Qingnuo's mother and son would also come.
Very surprised. I thought something had happened.
As soon as Xiaobao arrived at the Governor's Mansion, he was carried by Ma, and Su Qingyu and Pei Nian went to the flower hall to talk.
"You mean these black tea seeds can extract oil?" Pei Nian held a handful of camellia seeds in his hand with an expression of disbelief.
Su Qingyu nodded: "Yes. But the oil production rate is not high, only two kilograms of oil out of ten kilograms. But this tea oil is indeed a good thing..."
Su Qingyu explained the efficacy of camellia oil. Pei Nian became interested immediately.
"Good stuff."
"Yes. It can not only be used for cooking, but can also regulate various functions of the body. It can be taken internally or externally and has certain medicinal value. But I have never seen anyone selling camellia oil before. I wonder if it can be sold. , I can’t say what price it will be sold for now.”
Pei Nian thought for a while and said, "Did you just say that only two kilograms of oil can be produced from ten kilograms of seeds?"
"Yes, its oil production rate is not high. One acre can harvest about two thousand kilograms of fruit. It takes three kilograms of fruit to peel one kilogram of seeds. So one acre of land can yield more than one hundred kilograms of oil. So it must be If you can’t sell it to ordinary people, ordinary people can’t afford it.”
After hearing this, Pei Nian immediately started calculating in his mind.
After a long time, he said with some excitement: "This mu produces nearly two thousand kilograms of fruit, which is quite a lot. Now ordinary people can get one or two taels of silver from one mu of land. If a kilogram of oil sells for fifty cents or more, then The harvest from one acre of land is more than five taels of silver. If tea trees can be planted in large quantities on the mountain..."
Why worry that Renzhou is not rich?
"impossible."
Su Qingyu interrupted him.
"Why? Planting is difficult?"
Su Qingyu nodded: "It takes at least three years from planting to bearing fruit on this tea tree, and it takes at least five to seven years to have a good yield. I can't afford it. The situation outside is grim now, and no one can survive seven years without any output. "
When Pei Nian heard this, his excitement faded.
It takes seven years.
That's really too long. I don’t even know if he is alive or not.
Why bother making wedding clothes for others?
"Then you want to..."
Su Qingyu said: "Before, my godfather asked me to take over the twenty-eight villages, saying that it would be a good business for me. Maybe it would be a way out for the three of us. Now I have some ideas. I have traveled around several nearby mountains. Come on, there are such wild tea trees in the mountains. I plan to buy tea fruits in the mountains. I will pay to harvest them in the mountains, and the governor's office will help me connect the merchants. What do you think? "
Pei Nian shook his head: "Twenty percent is too much, let's give it 10% each. You are the one doing this business. Your godfather and I did nothing. The governor's office is just helping you contact the merchants."
Su Qingyu declined, but when she saw that he was determined, she gave up.
Pei Nian tapped his fingers on the table.
Somewhat unwillingly: "It really takes seven years to plant this?"
Su Qingyu then said: "It takes seven years to achieve a high yield. I just said that one acre can produce more than a hundred kilograms of oil. It is estimated that it will take about seven years to achieve this amount. Fruits can bear fruit in three years."
Pei Nian felt a little melancholy after hearing this. If it takes two or three years, he can wait. It's just that seven years... is too long.
He is now the governor of Renzhou, so he must leave something on the page of Pei Nian in the state annals. Parents and officials have to do something for the common people.
It’s only been seven years, and I still don’t know who I want to make a wedding dress for.
He sighed and said, "It would be great if it was the same as farming. If you plant this year, you can harvest half a year. Then our people in Renzhou will be rich and strong, and the people will live a prosperous life."
After hearing this, Su Qingying looked at him intently.
My heart moved.
