Chapter 357 My son is so awesome!
The village chief came back half an hour later, followed by a large number of villagers.
"I saw a carriage when I entered the village just now. I thought it was some noble person coming to our village, but it turned out to be a seller!"
“Selling cotton!”
"What is cotton? A flower?"
"It's not a flower, it's a kind of warm-keeping item, like catkins and kapok. I saw it a while ago when my father-in-law was working in Qiudawan Village!"
"I heard that Miss Song hired them to grow the cotton in the village. The cotton can be used to make cotton-padded jackets and quilts."
I don’t know if his father-in-law left the cotton seeds so that they can plant them themselves next year!
Indeed, the people of Dawan Village thought so too. Some asked Song Yuanbai for seeds, while others hid them secretly.
Daughter Song Shangshang is selling goods at the village chief's house, while father Song Yuanbai is discussing matters at the village head's house in Dawan Village.
Xie Chun looked at the person opposite, his lips moved and he didn't know how to speak. Song Yuanbai smiled and said, "Village Chief, please speak directly."
Xie Chun took a deep breath and said, "Brother Song, we villagers have discussed that the land in our village will not be rented out in the coming year. We will grow it ourselves."
"Growing cotton?" Song Yuanbai asked knowingly.
Xie Chun looked a little confused and nodded.
Song Yuanbai smiled and said, "Hey, I thought it was some big deal, but it turns out it's like this. You can plant your own land whenever you want. We also rented the land for a year."
"When the cotton is grown, you can sell it all to me."
Xie Chun was flattered. He didn't expect Boss Song to be so generous. The villagers took his cotton seeds and planted them themselves, but they were not angry. In the end, they said they could sell them all to him.
Boss Song is such a nice person.
The villagers also heard other people talking, saying that cotton sold for a hundred cash per pound in Fusang City.
I'm excited!
One acre of cotton is worth one thousand kilograms of real estate!
Then one acre of cotton can earn one hundred taels of silver!
They sent it!
Song Changshang didn't know about this, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
One hundred yuan per catty, huh, that's just a temporary price. When cotton is planted in large quantities in the coming year, the price will definitely drop.
She doesn't feel it's a loss even if she sells it for sixty cents in the village.
She spent no money on cotton seeds. She spent 1,500 taels on renting land, 1,500 taels on planting, and 1,500 taels on picking. In addition, she earned almost 3,000 taels from wages in the past few months. The total investment was less than 1,500 taels. Ten thousand taels!
And she sold it to Shen Xi for 50 cents per catty. One acre of land was one thousand catties, and fifteen hundred acres equaled one and a half million catties!
How much does one and a half million kilograms of cotton cost?
75000 taels!
Excluding the 10,000 taels of wages, she made a net profit of 65,000 taels!
Huge profits!
Several times the income!
She posted it!
"How much does this cotton cost per pound?" a villager asked.
Binbin replied, "Auntie, sixty cents per catty!"
"Then how much does this big apple weigh?"
"Ten coins a pound!"
"Where's the pear?"
"Ten coins a pound!"
"Persimmon cakes and dried red dates are also priced at fifteen cents per catty."
"The water for wiping your face costs 30 ren for a bottle, the ointment costs 60 ren, and the soap costs 60 ren!" Binbin directly told the price of the product in fear that she would ask further.
The aunt nodded when she heard the price. She brought two taels of silver to buy 20 kilograms of cotton, and the rest to buy other things.
That should be enough.
"One of these apples weighs a pound, right?" The apples are quite good, red and juicy, and they look particularly delicious. "Almost." Binbin nodded.
"Okay, let's get twenty kilograms of cotton, twenty apples, twenty pears, and two kilograms each of dried persimmons, red dates, and fruits."
"I don't want that water, I want that ointment, two bottles, and two bars of soap!"
Binbin Pianpian and the two looked at each other, thinking that this aunt is a rich owner. The villagers in front bought cotton, and occasionally some dried fruits. As for soaps and creams, they didn't buy any!
After loading Auntie's goods, Song Shangshang winked and said, "Auntie, you bought a lot. I will give you that hydrosol. Just wipe your face directly after washing in the morning and evening, and then apply the ointment."
"Oh, thank you, young man."
The aunt happily carried her things and left.
Song Changshang thought that there were not many old ladies in the countryside who were so open and generous and willing to spend money.
The village chief's wife next to her told her that this old lady was the richest old lady in their village.
The old man and the old lady only have one child, a daughter, who is married to Fusang City. The son-in-law is a businessman and is rich. He sends money to buy things from time to time to show his respect, and he also built a brick house.
In fact, I wanted to take the old man and old lady to live in Fuso City, but the old man and old lady felt that no one knew anyone in the city and they were bored. In addition, the old man and the old lady were not able to walk well, so they stayed in the village to grow some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks.
Occasionally I send souvenirs to my daughter and son-in-law, and my life is very nourishing!
Song Changshang said that this is the pastoral life after retirement, with filial children, money and land, and no worries about food and drink.
How good!
In fact, she also likes this kind of life, growing some vegetables and raising some chickens.
It would be perfect to have a few more houses to collect rent!
But it’s not allowed now!
They can't leave this miserable place of Qingshuigou yet.
I hope the Eighth Prince can be more helpful!
Song Changshang was chatting with the village chief's wife, and suddenly there was a sound in front of her, "Bah!"
The sound sounded like some kind of porcelain bottle had been thrown to the ground, but there was no porcelain bottle outside, which was the bottle she used to hold the hydrosol.
"What the hell? This thing of yours costs thirty cents. I think it's just water!"
"You're pretending to be someone who sells water to deceive people!" Song Changshang walked over and saw a woman shouting in a loud voice, with a broken hydrosol bottle lying under her feet.
Song Changshang looked at Pianpian Xuecha and the others, "What's going on?"
Xue Cha's chest was heaving up and down, obviously very angry, "This aunt wanted to steal our soap while there were many people, and when we found out, she acted like a rogue!"
"They say our hydrosol is well water, and they are here to deceive the rural people!"
"I explained to her but she didn't listen and even threw our bottle of hydrosol!"
The aunt snorted coldly after hearing this, "That's a lie. Isn't this just water, and that cream is just lard. Don't think we can't find out if you add something in it!"
"For you deceitful businessmen, I can sue the government to arrest you!"
"Do you know what my son does!"
"My son is a scholar, and my daughter-in-law is the daughter of a county magistrate!"
Song Changshang narrowed her eyes when she heard this. Scholar, she thought she was a high official, but it turned out that she was not even an official.
and many more.
Scholar!
There seems to be only one scholar in Qili Village!
Song Changshang asked, "Is your son's name Lin Ziang?"
"Yes, you know, as long as you know!" The aunt raised her chin proudly.
Let’s just say, his son is awesome!
All these businessmen, big and small, know his name!
Song Changshang wanted to laugh, Pianpian Binbin and Xuecha also wanted to laugh. Ha, as expected, a son would be just like his parents!
