54. Jiang Zhen made a fortune(1/2)

"Jiang Zhen, what do you want to do in this place?" Zhao Fugui was a little puzzled. Although this place could be dug some bamboo shoots and planted some water chestnuts for money, it not only took time but also took time, and it might not even be sold for one or two silver taels a year. What can I buy such a land?

"I think this place is pretty good, you can use it to raise ducks." Jiang Zhen said.

He didn't want Zhao Jin to work as a long-term worker for others, nor did he want Zhao Fugui to work for others in a short period of time, so he found some things for them to do. Raising chickens and ducks is actually good. In another two or three months, the family will not be short of eggs and ducks.

Zhao Fugui felt that raising some chickens and ducks would not cost such a large piece of land, but when he thought that it was Jiang Zhen’s money, he stopped talking in the end.

After discussing with Jiang Ping that they would buy Jiang's paddy fields and that piece of land, they no longer had to go to the county town to see if there was any other land. Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu looked at each other and refused to go to the county town.

Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin are about to get married, so it is okay to go to the county town. The families with better families here will take their future wife to the county town before getting married and buy something they want.

And at this time...what are the two old people doing?

So, only Brother Zhao and Jiang Zhen went to this trip to the county town. Before leaving, Jiang Zhen brought some porcelain.

There is a porcelain shop in the county town, and the main ones sell very cheap dishes. This is the case. When people go to buy bowls, they will ask the shops to carve marks on the bowls.

At this time, people have to borrow tables, chairs, dishes and dishes from others. They must pay them back after borrowing, so there must be a mark.

Jiang Zhen went to the shop and took out the porcelain he brought to the shopkeeper and asked him what price he would pay.

"This porcelain is good." The shopkeeper immediately said when he saw the porcelain that Jiang Zhen took out.

"Yes, the purchase price is not cheap." Jiang Zhen said.

"How many do you have? If the price is right, I will accept it." The shopkeeper said.

"I have a boat there, and the quantity is quite large. As for the price... the shopkeeper, how about this? Please contact the buyer and negotiate the price. Then I took the goods to sell it. If the negotiated price, you will get one ten." Jiang Zhen did not know the market conditions of the porcelain, so he would probably lose money if he sold it to the shopkeeper rashly, so he simply thought of such a way.

If this shopkeeper wants to make more money and get more money, he will definitely raise the price.

"This..." The shopkeeper had never sold things like this and hesitated.

"Shopkeeper, you made 10% of it for nothing. Of course, don't try to fool me. I just want to sell it for a good price. If the price is not right, I won't sell it." Jiang Zhen said again.

The shopkeeper thought about it and immediately agreed to Jiang Zhen’s request.

Although the porcelain that Jiang Zhen brought was not that expensive, it was really good. He asked someone to talk about it, and it was not difficult to sell it at a good price.

After the shopkeeper agreed, Jiang Zhen left behind the sample, and then told the shopkeeper how many dishes he had in each type of bowl and plate, and left his address.

After doing this, Jiang Zhen wanted to take Brother Zhao Jin to a restaurant in the county for dinner.

There is only one restaurant in this county town, and the things there are not cheap. As soon as Jiang Zhen asked to go, he was rejected by Brother Zhao Jin: "I don't want to go there to eat, we'll eat wontons."

"Wonton?" Jiang Zhen was stunned: "Brother Jin, you don't have to save me money."

"I really like eating wontons. When my father took me to the county town when he was a child, he would buy me a bowl of wontons." Brother Zhao Jin said.

Jiang Zhen knew that Brother Zhao wanted to save some money, but he didn't refuse. He took Brother Zhao to the stall selling wontons.

There are two types of wontons. One is big wonton. The skin is thick and the meat is more expensive and the price is expensive. Each bowl costs 8 cents a bowl, and one bowl is just a wonton. The other is small wontons. The skin of the wonton is very thin, and the meat inside is good enough to be as big as soybeans. A bowl costs only 2 cents. This kind of wonton usually needs to be served with some big pancakes and buns to get full.

Brother Zhao Jin ordered two bowls of wontons, and Jiang Zhen ordered ten more meat buns - he could take them back if he couldn't finish them.

The small wonton costs two cents a bowl, and the size of a fist costs three cents a bowl of wontons. Jiang Zhen was full after eating three meat buns and a bowl of wontons. After Jiang Zhen ate so much, the two of them picked up the remaining four buns in oil paper.

When he brought Brother Zhao Jin to the county town, Jiang Zhen wanted to buy something for Brother Zhao Jin, but Brother Zhao Jin didn't want anything. After he purchased it in the city, he couldn't remember anything to buy. In the end, he only cut two kilograms of meat and bought another leaf of pork liver.

"Brother Zhao Jin?" A voice suddenly sounded. Brother Zhao Jin, who was standing next to Jiang Zhen, turned his head when he heard this and saw a woman who was about the same age as him standing not far away.

"Liu Yi." Brother Zhao Jin shouted and frowned slightly.

"I didn't expect to see you here... Do you want to cut your flesh? Do you want me to lend you some money?" Liu Pandi looked at Brother Zhao Jin and frowned slightly.

Liu Yi is actually the eldest daughter of Zhao Jin Ge's uncle. She is the same age as Zhao Jin Ge. When she was a child, she was very jealous of Zhao Jin Ge, who was loved by her parents. When she grew up, she married in the county and still married well, but Zhao Jin Ge was unable to get married. She became more and more superior in front of Zhao Jin Ge.

What made her more regretful was that Zhao Liu had basically cut off contact with her parents' family, so she sent Zhao Jin to send some food during the Chinese New Year, which made her unable to find a chance to let Zhao Jin see how good she was.

She was a little happy to see Brother Zhao Jin today, but soon felt something was wrong. Brother Zhao Jin’s dress today... she looked very energetic, and even had a silver hairpin on her head.

"No need." Brother Zhao Jin said.

"I don't think it's necessary... you actually put on a silver hairpin. My aunt finally helped you find your in-laws?" Liu Pandi asked again. No matter how it was, the hairpin could not be afforded by the Zhao family. Could this Zhao Jin be able to get married? "Are you doing a house filling or something? That family is willing to give a silver hairpin, which is really good."

Brother Zhao Jin didn't have much contact with this cousin. In fact, he didn't find that this cousin was malicious to him at the beginning, but this made him feel something was wrong and he couldn't help but frown.

"Brother Jin, I've cut the meat. What else do you want? Let's buy it." Jiang Zhen smiled and looked at Liu Pandi again: "Who is this old woman? Do you know?"

"This is my cousin." Brother Zhao Jin said.

"Oh, it turns out it's my cousin, I thought it was my cousin." Jiang Zhen said.

Liu Pandi was almost angry. Her husband's family's conditions were indeed good and she could show off. However, she had a very powerful mother-in-law who was always unsatisfied with her family asking for too many betrothal gifts at the beginning, so she treated her very harshly, so that she seemed a little old-fashioned.

Jiang Zhen ignored Liu Pandi and pulled Zhao Jin to leave.

Liu Pandi looked at Brother Zhao's back and couldn't help frowning. Can Brother Zhao really get married? No way?

Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge didn't stay in the county town for much time, so they went back early. At this time, the village chief Jiang Ping went to the Jiang family and talked about someone's desire to buy land.

He was a little worried at first, afraid that the Jiang family would ask who wanted to buy the land, but he didn't expect that the Jiang family wouldn't ask.

"Someone wants to buy it? What's the price?" asked Old Mrs. Jiang.

"Twenty taels per acre of land, your land is not the best, and there are no crops in the land, so it can't be sold no matter how expensive it is." Jiang Ping said.

Old Mrs. Jiang suddenly hesitated, but the butcher Jiang started smoking a cigarette.

"You really want to sell land? This land..." Jiang Ping wanted to persuade people, land is their root! Unless Zhao Liu is sick and waits for life-saving money, or He Qiusheng is not going to be chopped down if he owes gambling debts, otherwise no one will sell land.

The Jiang family did not have much land before, only four or five acres of paddy fields and a lot of dry land. The Jiang butcher also took a lot of effort to save up the current family business.

Who doesn’t envy the Jiang family’s fifteen acres of paddy fields? Unexpectedly, they have to sell four acres in one go.

"Sell, we want to sell." Jiang Butcher Jiang said affirmatively. He felt so uncomfortable that he didn't ask who was going to buy it.

There are several reasons why the Jiang family wants to sell land.

One of the reasons is that they can't grow it.

It is very troublesome to plant rice. First, you have to toss the ground repeatedly, then you have to cultivate and plant rice seedlings, and then you have to keep weeding... In the past, Boss Jiang and Butcher Jiang went to the field together. During the busy farming period, Old Mrs. Jiang could plant it, but now they can't finish it.

Of course, if you can't plant it, you can actually rent it to others for planting it. Some people in the village have little land and hope that someone can rent it to them for planting it, but... Jiang Chengxiang and Jiang Chengcai both asked them for money.

The cause of the incident was that Jiang Chengxiang hosted an errand in the county town, but he had to pay twenty taels of silver to clear it up, so he went home to get the silver.

Jiang Chengcai hoped that he could find a good job, so he printed it and thought of a solution. As a result, Jiang Chengcai accidentally heard it and was dissatisfied at the moment.

Jiang Chengcai went to a private school for two years but stopped going, but Jiang Chengxiang studied for six or seven years. The Jiang butcher and his wife spent much more money on Jiang Chengxiang than on Jiang Chengcai. However, after Jiang Chengxiang made a fortune, they did not get any money for their family.

Jiang Chengcai felt that why were they all sons? Jiang butcher and his wife gave Jiang Chengxiang so much money, but they didn't give it to him? He immediately asked his parents for forty taels of silver, saying that they wanted to do business.

Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang both tried hard to ask for money. At this time, someone came to collect debts.

Although Jiang and the butcher and his wife treated Boss Jiang in a bad way, they loved Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang to the core. Finally, the family discussed it and decided to sell the land.

After selling the land, he gave Jiang Chengxiang money to help him clear his relationships, and also gave Jiang Chengcai money to help him do business.

Old Mrs. Jiang has always been full of confidence in Jiang Chengcai's son. Even if this son is actually lazy, she firmly believes that he will definitely be able to start a business and make a lot of money.

Old Mrs. Jiang and the butcher Jiang printed it, and Jiang Ping went to Zhao's house again.

Jiang Ping is still trustworthy. With Jiang Zhen around, Zhao Fugui was not afraid of him fooling his family, so he simply gave Jiang Ping eighty taels of silver and asked Jiang Ping to help buy the land.

Jiang Ping has always been a good man, but he did not refuse. He also helped the Jiang family buy the other twenty acres of bamboo forest.

The next day, Jiang Zhen obtained the land deed.

He gave the land deed to Brother Zhao Jin. At the same time, the fact that the Zhao family actually bought the land was also spread in Hexi Village.

No, it shouldn't be said that the Zhao family bought the land, but Jiang Zhen bought the land.

When Jiang Zhen left the Jiang family, he only had forty taels of silver. Now he bought four acres of paddy fields alone!

Brother Zhao Jin got married to him. If you don’t say anything else, you will never have to go hungry in the future!

Before, the people in Hexi Village were both shocked and afraid of Jiang Zhen, but now when I look at Jiang Zhen, I find that Jiang Zhen is actually nothing scary.

Even, he is very nice to Brother Zhao Jin... Haven't you seen Brother Zhao Jin wear new clothes now? The Zhao family still eats meat every day.

The Zhao Liu family was not very thin before, but now they are not only rosy in their complexion, but also rubbed them with rouge!

For a moment, people envied the Zhao family. While they envied the Zhao family, they would mention the Jiang family and then sympathize with them.

Jiang Zhen was working hard when he was in the Jiang family, and he grabbed all the work in the field, making the Jiang family live a very good life, but the Jiang family wanted to pick him up and drive him out.

Now, Jiang Zhen went to the Zhao family.

In the past, the villagers were afraid of Jiang Zhen and even fought against the yamen runners, which might have a lot to do with them. Now they found that Jiang Zhen did not seem to cause trouble to the village, so they were not so afraid.

Of course, there is still awe, and no one dares to offend him.

Many people came to the Zhao family to inquire about the news. Zhao Liu raised his head and proudly praised Jiang Zhen: "I bought the land today. Brother Jin was thinking about planting the land. As a result, Jiang Zhen refused to let him go and said that he was going to get married. How could he do such rough work? So today, our family can only plant rice for one season."

"Before, my family said that the pork head meat tasted good. Today, Jiang Zhen went to the county town to deliver porcelain and brought back a pig head... It's true, such a big pig head, where can we finish eating such a few people in our family?"

"He also gave me this rouge. I gave me a box of rouge at the beginning, and recently I gave me another box of eyebrow powder."

"My brother Jin'er has been doing nothing at home all day recently. I see if this continues, he will be lazy."

Jiang Zhen heard that ear accidentally and was speechless.

Zhao Liu praised him, but he also praised him a little too much...
