Chapter 188: A Little Kung Fu
In the past, she asked Uncle Qian to sell money, but she did it secretly, doing things here and there, for fear that she would be caught when she did business again.
Zhu Xuntao knew how popular the vegetable business was in winter.
In order to make money and to protect her body, she finally let Uncle Qian do all the hard work.
Now it is different. She has a backer and so many tools, so there is no need to embarrass Uncle Qian.
Uncle Qian just needs to wait steadily in the new house to get married and have children.
These business-making and adventurous things should be left to young people like the prince.
"That sounds nice."
No wonder Xiao Jingzhan was fooled around by Zhu Xuntao and lost all his rationality.
As long as Zhu Xuntao is willing, she is very good at making
people crazy. If he can't hear Zhu Xuntao's inner voice, even he will be deceived by her sweetness.
"How much pickled cabbage do you have?"
"Not much, probably over a thousand pounds."
When saying this, Zhu Xuntao's tone was full of regret and embarrassment.
Xiao Jingzhan: "..."
He rubbed Zhu Xuntao's head: "Be good."
It's better to say less of such words that are easy to offend people.
Prince: "..."
Over a thousand pounds, does Zhu Xuntao mean that it's still not enough?
Thinking of the wilted vegetables in the palace before Zhu Xuntao sent the vegetables, the prince almost shut himself up.
The entire palace, the most noble people in the Yong Dynasty are all together, and the days spent this winter are not as "luxurious" as Zhu Xuntao alone.
"Where are these vegetables? I have taken them all."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have ordered people to prepare them. Your people can take them away at any time."
[The output is a little less, but fortunately, such a small business is not a big deal for Your Majesty.]
[If there is a chance, we will expand the planting next year. How can we measure the weight of a vegetable like Chinese cabbage, which
is so easy to grow, by the pound? It should be measured by the ton!] Xiao Jingzhan and the prince looked at each other. What unit is this ton? How much can it be converted into kilograms?
Xiao Jingzhan hinted to the prince that he should ask Xiao Jingshen about the meaning of ton.
If Xiao Jingshen couldn't even answer this question, he would have wasted his time with Zhu Xuntao these days.
After Xiao Jingzhan delivered the answer he got from Xiao Jingshen to the prince's ears,
the prince was numb for a moment, and then he had great expectations for Zhu Xuntao.
He hoped very much that with the help of Zhu Xuntao, the Great Yong Dynasty would measure crops in tons instead of mere kilograms.
One ton is actually equal to two thousand kilograms!
Speaking of which, before the prince left with thousands of kilograms of pickled vegetables, he threw a silver note of one thousand taels to Zhu Xuntao,
and left a sentence: "More refund, less supplement."
How could a prince like him take advantage of such a small business.
"Thank you, prince."
Zhu Xuntao was so happy with the silver note of one thousand taels.
[Sure enough, growing vegetables off-season is a good business with huge profits. ]
[Who would dare to think that one thousand kilograms of cabbage can be sold for one thousand taels in modern times? 】
【This is Chinese cabbage! Chinese cabbage! 】
Although she knew that this was the result of the gap between the times, Zhu Xuntao was still very happy.
She was very happy that Chinese cabbage was so valuable in ancient times, and most importantly, she could grow it.
When she was working at a night snack stall, the old charlatan she met did not lie to her. She said that if she learned to farm, she would have food to eat!
When talking about the major she chose in college, Zhu Xuntao had shed so many tears.
She didn't understand how "stupid" she was to believe the fortune-telling that the old charlatan told her for free.
Can there be anything good for free?
As an orphan, Zhu Xuntao has no one to rely on. If she wants to survive in this society, she can only rely on herself.
Although Zhu Xuntao's modern appearance is not as beautiful as in ancient times, but just ordinary, he is young and has the aura of a top student.
Therefore, Zhu Xuntao was not without some popularity at that time.
After knowing that Zhu Xuntao was an orphan, someone expressed his willingness to "sponsor" Zhu Xuntao.
Whether Zhu Xuntao wants to go to college, or continue to study for a master's degree or a doctorate,
as long as Zhu Xuntao wants, the other party can let Zhu Xuntao continue to study without any burden.
Even after Zhu Xuntao graduates, he can arrange a job with a very high salary for Zhu Xuntao, and will not treat Zhu Xuntao unfairly. When Zhu Xuntao
first heard that someone was willing to sponsor him, he was particularly happy.
She prepared her resume, wanting to prove her excellence to the sponsor,
and assured the sponsor that she would not only study hard, but also work hard to make money after graduation
, and return all the funding to the sponsor, and would never take advantage of others in vain.
But before the young Zhu Xuntao had a chance to speak, the sponsor said a bunch of specious words.
At first, Zhu Xuntao did not think badly of the person, but just tried to listen to the sponsor's description.
But the sponsor's tone became more and more wrong, and he stretched out his claws to grab Zhu Xuntao's hand.
Zhu Xuntao was just about to go crazy.
But Zhu Xuntao is not just one person, there is an entire orphanage behind her.
Even if she does not accept such funding, she cannot offend the other party.
After all, in addition to having special requirements for her, this sponsor actually donated money to the orphanage.
After calmly and restrainedly rejecting the sponsor, the first thing Zhu Xuntao did when she returned to the orphanage was to look in the mirror.
She remembered clearly that she looked ordinary.
If you don't look for her specifically, she would be so common standing in the crowd that you can't tell who is who.
So, how could such an ordinary girl like her make the sponsor think of her like this?
It really...
made Zhu Xuntao very angry.
Without this sponsor, even as the top scorer in the college entrance examination that year, with a prize of 100,000 yuan in hand,
Zhu Xuntao could only use the summer vacation time to do more odd jobs to save money.
Zhu Xuntao did not plan to take all the 100,000 yuan, but prepared to leave half to the orphanage.
With only 50,000 yuan, it was not enough for Zhu Xuntao to finish college, not to mention living expenses.
It was really raining cats and dogs.
Zhu Xuntao originally thought that 50,000 yuan was not enough to spend. There was also a child in the orphanage who was seriously ill and needed surgery.
The surgery fee was exactly 100,000 yuan.
Just a little bit, Zhu Xuntao was about to feel that this 100,000 yuan was a trap dug for her.
With gritted teeth and tears, Zhu Xuntao handed the 100,000 yuan to the dean's mother. Saving lives was more important, so
she worked even harder to earn money during the summer vacation.
During the day, she relied on the halo of being the top scorer in the college entrance examination to help some children with internships. The salary given by the parents was not low, but for Zhu Xuntao, it was far from enough.
So, at night and in the early morning, Zhu Xuntao went to work at the barbecue stall again.
I don’t know if Zhu Xuntao is still a little gifted, but I have a different experience.
