Chapter 358: Jiang Erye and his three families also make money

The women in the village didn't expect that it was just Shen Qing and his group who went to the city to purchase meat, and the team that went to Chenzhou also came back!

I was so happy that I didn't know what to do.

She took her man aside and asked him all sorts of questions, including the customs and habits of Shenzhou.

I was amazed when I heard the differences, as if I had also seen the world.

Zhao Mingyue, Jiang Wuye, Zhou Yan and others saw Xie Qingshan and asked hurriedly, "How are the sales?"

“Have they all been sold?”

"How much is it?"

Xie Qingshan was surrounded by his family. He nodded first, then replied in order and emphasis: "All sold, the price is the same as Jincheng;

Unlike Jincheng, sesame sugar sells very well in Shenzhou, even better than pure malt sugar. They say the sesame sugar is sweeter.

The price of sesame sugar is slightly lower than that of pure malt sugar. After all, how can sesame be as expensive as sugar?

But even if it is slightly lower, sesame candy will still make more money, after all, the selling price of sesame has increased several times!

Buyers will also consider this point, so most people in Jincheng choose to buy pure sugar, and only those who are not short of money will choose sesame candy purely for the taste;

I didn't expect that people in Chenzhou would like sesame candy more, but it might also be because there are more wealthy families and officials in Chenzhou and north of it than in Jincheng.

Hearing that all the items had been sold at the same price, the three families breathed a sigh of relief.

They don't work in Shen Qing's workshop, all their sources are from the land;

The second is mountain medicinal herbs;

The third is the sugar factory.

Before, Zhao Mingyue's family would have income from tofu, but after moving to the mountains, it was almost impossible to go out to the city and surrounding villages to sell tofu in exchange for beans. Now every time they make tofu, they only supply it to the village, either to sell or exchange it, and this income is almost negligible.

The biggest use is to improve taste and food.

Now that the candy that I worked so hard to make for more than two months has been sold, how can I not be happy?

The younger one couldn't help but ask, "How much silver did you get?"

When the elders heard that the prices were the same, they had actually already calculated how much they earned in total, but the younger ones didn’t know.

They opened their eyes wide and looked at Xie Qingshan excitedly and expectantly.

Xie Qingshan looked at Mr. Jiang Er, who nodded slightly with a smile in his eyes. Xie Qingshan just made a six.

The surrounding crowd burst into loud cheers.

There are actually six hundred taels!

After the cheers died down, Jiang Ying said, "Alright, alright, we've made a big profit today. Let's celebrate together over dinner~"

When they heard that there was something delicious to eat, not only the children were happy, but the adults also smiled.

After coaxing the children away, the adults began to review the situation.

"The sugar mill opened late, and has only been operating for a month and a half. Last time I went to Jincheng, I sold a batch. It weighed 78 taels, right?"

“Later, we were afraid we wouldn’t be able to sell too much, so we didn’t put our full effort into it and ended up losing a lot.”

"Yes, that means the sugar mill earned 678 taels in a month and a half."

"After deducting the cost of buying wheat and glutinous rice, the net profit is about 450 taels. Each family can get 150 taels. 150 taels a month and a half, which is equivalent to 100 taels a month.

If we work hard, we can definitely make 150 taels a month for each family."

The Jiang family swallowed unconsciously.

One hundred and fifty taels per family per month!

There are more than ten people in the family, which means each person earns about ten taels of silver per month. I can’t even imagine such a life.

Mr. Jiang, who had been silent the whole time, turned to Xie Qingshan and asked, "What's the response in Chenzhou? If I send it over again, will it still sell?"

The Jiang family members all looked at Xie Qingshan again.

Yes, they have to be able to sell it. They are not afraid of hard work and can even do it at night by lighting torches, but it is useless if they can't sell it.

Xie Qingshan said calmly: "It won't be possible in a short time. Even if we go, we probably won't be able to sell much. But my sister-in-law's family is going to the capital, so we can also send a batch to the capital.

I'll continue making it at home, and when I return I'll send another batch to Chenzhou before the weather gets hot. The rest will have to wait until September or October when the weather gets colder."

The reason why their malt sugar sells well is that the malt sugar is repeatedly pulled while hot, and each candy bar has more than a hundred small holes in it, which makes the malt sugar crispy and delicious.

When the weather gets hot, the sugar melts and becomes sticky, and the crispness is gone, so they can only earn money in the winter.

Fortunately, they are now in the north and the winter is long, which is a good thing for them as they can earn two more months of money.

Mr. Jiang immediately made the decision: "Let's go to the city tomorrow and buy a lot of glutinous rice and wheat!

The strong men and women were in charge of the sugar mills, and the rest of the people, young and old, went to open up the land;

The three families will eat together. You can choose a few people to take turns cooking. There should be meat and eggs for every meal. When you go to the city to buy glutinous rice and wheat, you can buy meat and bring it back. If it's not enough, you can buy fat residue from your eldest sister-in-law and stew it.

Of the 678 taels of silver from the two lots sold, 227 taels will be used to purchase glutinous rice, wheat, and meat, and the remaining 150 taels will be distributed to each family."

One hundred and fifty taels of silver were distributed at once, and everyone was excited!

Clearing the land is tiring, but there are meat and eggs for every meal. Besides, if we need to clear the land this year, we will start working in February. Next year, we will not need to clear the land, and we can wait until the sugar factory is closed before farming. Then it will not be tiring.

Besides, it’s worth it even if it’s tiring this year!

That's more than one hundred taels of silver a month, and you can only earn it for five or six months. If I could choose, it would be worth it to work hard all year round!

After all, what kind of work can earn this much? Why would you complain about working hard when you can earn money?

Mr. Jiang asked again, "Qingshan, have you discussed the cost of transporting the goods with the Jiang family boys?"

Xie Qingshan nodded.

The others were confused.

Xie Qingshan explained the cost of sharing the transport costs, and then said, "Dad was afraid that if I told you in advance, you would be stressed out before you even saw the money, so he told me to discuss it with Xiangnan and Xiangbei."

Now that I have a good income and more than two hundred taels of silver left as capital, it is natural that I can take out more than ten taels of silver.

"Well, let alone making money, even if we lose money, we still have to pay what we owe." Zhao Mingyue said cheerfully.

It's not that she is speaking in hindsight, but that's how people should behave.

Doing business is risky, and how can Shen Qing's family be asked to form a partnership to transport goods?

No matter how your business is doing, whether you make money or not, you should contribute a share!

Master Jiang Wu also nodded.

The heads of the three families all agreed. Xie Qingshan said, "I'll go discuss this with my eldest sister-in-law later to see how it's going to be decided."

No one else had any objections.

Instead, they started discussing increasing efforts to make malt sugar and what to eat in the evening?

“I bought some pork today. Although it’s not much, I still have some big bones. I’ll use them to make pickled vegetables later!

I'll stew the pork with dried beans tomorrow. Once we get to the city, I'll buy more pork. We've been busy making sugar and clearing land lately, so I want to give my family some good nourishment."
