After Jiang Zhen came out of the Zheng family, he went to the dock again.

The goods on the two ships have been almost moved, but he still has to collect some subsequent payments, and he also has to deal with some subsequent matters.

After working hard, it was already dark, so Jiang Zhen did not rush to go home. Instead, he slept on the boat all night. He was not the only one who chose to do this. In fact, except for a few of whom were in the county town, most of the others stayed.

Nowadays, people don’t like to walk at night.

After going out for a walk and doing a business, Jiang Zhen was in a good mood, so he went to buy a few chickens and set up a large iron pot on the shore to cook the chicken.

He actually wanted to buy pork more, but it was too late and there was no pork sold at all.

The chicken was cut into small pieces and put into an iron pot to cook. A large pot of soup was boiled, and the other pot was boiled with water. When the noodles were ready, they put them in a bowl, pour two spoons of chicken soup on top, and then there was a hot chicken soup noodles.

After eating two bowls and putting down the chopsticks, Jiang Zhen found that the people in front of him had already started chatting.

These people are all men, and they have no idea before. But this time they followed Jiang Zhen out for a walk, but they yearned for the outside world and even felt that they were different.

Basically, those people around them have never left Hecheng County. What about them? They have been to the Fucheng City!

These people are all in aroused chat, and they are all very happy, and they feel more belonging to the team.

People these days are actually much more foolish than modern people. Jiang Zhen thinks that he should be able to let these people be devoted to him before leaving for the capital.

Well... this adjective is not useful, it should be said to be loyal.

"In another ten days, I will take you to the capital." Jiang Zhen said suddenly.

"Beijing?" Wang Haisheng was stunned and almost jumped up. What did Jiang Zhen say? He wanted to take them to the capital?

That's the capital... can they go to the capital?

"Boss?" The others were also stunned, suspecting that they had heard it wrong.

The capital is where the emperor lives. I heard that the palace is made of gold! How could they actually go to the capital?!

"It's the capital. Master Zheng asked me to send him to the capital. You have to perform well, and some have to go there. If you don't perform well, then forget it." Jiang Zhen said.

"Boss, we must perform well!"

"I... I'll listen to whatever you say, boss!"

"Boss, I've always been very obedient!"

...

Those people surrounded Jiang Zhen, all of whom were so excited that they couldn't do it. Even Liu Heitou began to look at Jiang Zhen secretly - he is still in his opinion now, is it still time?

Liu Heitou used to be a bully in the village, and felt that he was already very powerful, but now... he suddenly realized that he was actually nothing before...

"Everything is quiet. If you are noisy, you will have nothing to go." Jiang Zhen smiled and told him a few more words: "Also, don't talk nonsense about this, otherwise... be careful that I will peel you."

These people stopped talking, but their eyes looked particularly bright under the reflection of the fire.

The next day, Jiang Zhen first returned the two ships, and then walked towards Hexi Village with Zhao Jin Ge Wang Haisheng and others.

Jiang Zhen had already paid the wages he should have given. Wang Haisheng and others were very happy to get the money, but Jiang Zhen himself lost more than ten taels of silver. He didn't take it seriously, but Brother Zhao Jin was a little worried and distressed.

"Brother Jin, don't care too much, it's just more than ten taels of silver." Jiang Zhen said.

Brother Zhao Jin opened his mouth and didn't say anything. This was more than ten taels of silver! Their family used to be just more than ten taels of money.

"Do you always lose money and make money when doing business, and no one can guarantee that you will make a profit." Jiang Zhen said: "What's more, I will definitely make money next time."

Brother Zhao Jin was finally comforted: "Well, I believe in you."

Jiang Zhen is so powerful that he will definitely make a lot of money in the future!

After Jiang Zhen said this, Brother Zhao was comforted, but when another person said this, no one in his family believed it.

"There are always losses and profits in business, and I haven't lost yet! Why are you in a hurry? I can definitely make money!" Jiang Chengcai said to his family.

"What do you rely on to make money? Just rely on that room of seafood? If you have the ability, sell them quickly!" Jiang Chengxiang looked at his brother with a sarcastic face.

When Jiang Chengcai entered a ship of sea cargo, he was extremely proud and looked down on Jiang Chengxiang everywhere. He often squeezed Jiang Chengxiang at home. However, he was only proud for ten days.

In the first few days, under the publicity of Mrs. Jiang, people from Hexi Village and some people from nearby villages all came to Jiang's family to buy seafood. The seafood from Jiang's family sold quite well, and soon they sold more than three taels of silver.

Then... no one came to buy it again.

Salted fish can be kept for a long time, and people don’t eat it often. People who are familiar with the Jiang family see that the Jiang family do this business and after buying some, they don’t have to buy it for a few months, and naturally they can’t sell Jiang Chengcai’s goods.

But it’s not a big deal to keep those things like this. You can’t keep them all the time and don’t sell them, right?

Seeing that the Jiang family could not sell a kelp for several days, they became anxious. After thinking about it, they learned the practice of the merchants in the county and soaked the kelp and sold it for a penny.

However, after they did it, they still didn't sell it... How many people in their village are there in total? Not to mention that many of them have bought dried kelp.

Jiang Chengcai had no choice but to take it to the county town to sell it, but it was very hard to go back and forth, and not many people sold it...

Someone else is selling it in the county town!

Jiang Chengcai is very lazy. At first, he could be diligent for a few days to make money, but after being tired for a few days, he was unhappy.

The goods were kept at home anyway, and they would not break for a while. If they could not be sold, they would not be sold. At worst, they could be sold slowly... After thinking about this, Jiang Chengcai was too lazy to sell them to the county town.

But he thought it would be okay to keep things, but the rest of the Jiang family knew that it could not be like this - no matter how long it can be stored, it would not be piled up and sold!

Today, Jiang Chengxiang, who came home, couldn't stand the fishy smell at home. After talking about Jiang Chengcai, the two of them started arguing.

"Okay, stop arguing!" Jiang Butcher Jiang shouted.

"Dad, are you planning to indulge your second brother so much? Aren't you afraid that he will spend all the money at home?" Jiang Chengxiang said.

"Where did I squander the money? I took out twenty taels of silver, at least the goods were here? What about you? I took out twenty taels of silver, and I didn't see any none of them." Jiang Chengcai sneered.

Jiang Chengxiang couldn't hold back his face and looked at his parents: "Dad, don't worry, when I get paid, I will definitely pay half of the money."

"You hand it over first!" Jiang Chengcai competed with Jiang Chengxiang again.

"Okay!" Jiang Butcher Jiang said: "Don't argue, Chengcai, we will carry the load tomorrow and go to another village to sell together."

"Go away?" Jiang Chengcai frowned.

"What else do you want to go?" Jiang Butcher Jiang wanted to beat his second son.

They had controlled Jiang Ping before, knowing that the person who bought their land was Jiang Zhen, but they didn't tell them about this, borrowing a boat from Jiang Ping, so that Jiang Chengcai got in a bunch of sea goods, but they couldn't borrow Jiang Ping's boat every day, right?

Jiang Chengcai was unhappy when he thought of carrying the load so far, but Jiang butcher Jiang was angry... He dared not disobey.

Butcher Jiang was also worried. What should he do when he went out to sell goods? His family also had to raise silkworms...

Although the two daughters-in-law were women, they were also able to work. Women were doing all the work of picking mulberry leaves. As a result... Zhu Shufen had just picked a few mulberry leaves and said that she was bitten by a bug and couldn't get it all over. Huang Min refused to do it anymore. What's even more terrible is that both of them were pregnant.

It was a good thing to have children at home, but now it became a problem for the two of them to get pregnant together.

Jiang butcher suddenly felt that it might be true that what the villagers said about Jiang Zhen being born with blessings. If Jiang Zhen had not left, how could his family live like this?

In fact, the Jiang family's life is better than that of the vast majority of people in the village, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. After they have been comfortable for too long, they can't stand the hard work.

The Jiang family is so sad that the Zhao family is full of joy.

After Jiang Zhen and others went out, Zhao Fugui and his wife, Sun Xiaoshan and his two children, began to concentrate on taking care of their own land and raising chickens and ducks.

Jiang Zhen had already asked He Chunsheng and He Xiasheng to help plant those acres of paddy fields. Zhao Fugui just went to see them every day and pulled out the weeds. There was no need to worry too much, so they served the chickens and ducks wholeheartedly.

The chickens are stocked in the forest, and they can find food to eat by themselves. They just need to feed some chaff every night. As for the ducks...

The Zhao family raises much more ducks than chickens. They feed these ducks fish and snails.

There is a saying here, called winter clams, summer snails. Winter is a good time to eat river clams, and summer snails are the most plump.

Summer is already in here.

Snails don’t have much meat. If you want to cook delicious food, you must add oil. In fact, ordinary people don’t eat it much, so occasionally children get greedy and steam a bowl of oil.

Due to these reasons, snails are easy to catch. There are often a large number of snails attached to the stones on the river bank. Even if the boat stops in the river for a long time, the bottom of the boat can be completely covered by snails.

Sun Xiaoshan has been with Wang Haisheng for so many years, and may not have the strength to row a long boat, but he is a good player to catch fish and snails. When Zhao Fugui was young, he also looked around for food everywhere, and making these is also no problem.

They went to catch snails every day to catch fish. At first, Zhao Liu had to chop the fish and smash the snails to feed them to the ducks. Later, the ducks could swallow whole snails.

I don’t know if the food they gave was enough, but the ducks grew very fast and soon grew up. Now, ducks have started laying eggs, and they have laid quite a lot.

Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu were reluctant to eat duck eggs, so they greeted the village and asked the village who wanted duck eggs to buy them... As a result, they sold quite well.

And this is not surprising.

For many people, kelp salted fish is a thing of changing their taste. In contrast, they prefer eggs, duck eggs, and...

Nowadays, women have to eat eggs and duck eggs when they are pregnant. When they have children, they have to eat eggs and duck eggs to supplement them. When they are full month old, they have to give eggs. They have to give eggs anyway. Even if they are on their birthday, they have to come to their door and boil two eggs in sugar water. That is the most enthusiastic expression.

If you don’t eat kelp, you won’t eat it. This egg is a must!

When Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge came back, someone came to Zhao's house to buy a basket of duck eggs, planning to buy them back to make salted duck eggs - going out to visit relatives, salted duck eggs are just as good gifts.

"The ducks at home have started laying eggs?" Brother Zhao Jin was a little surprised.

"Yes!" Zhao Liu smiled happily: "This duck raising is really good. You can exchange money so quickly! Even if the ducks can't be sold, you can earn the money slowly after selling eggs." They actually took a lot of effort to raise ducks, but whether it was Zhao Liu or Zhao Fugui, they all felt that it was not a big deal to spend some effort.

"The ducks will definitely be sold." Jiang Zhen said: "Tomorrow we will go to the county town, sell all the roosters and ducks, and buy some chickens and ducks back."

"No need to buy chickens and ducks anymore, we can just hatch it ourselves." Zhao Liu said quickly. Although they didn't understand this before, they just need to learn it.

"That's too troublesome, why not buy it directly." Jiang Zhen rejected Zhao Liu's proposal. It would take several days to hatch a nest of chicks, and it would be too troublesome to buy it directly.
