Chapter 286 Studying Two Account Books
In order to obtain greater returns from the land, every participating family will work harder, and no one will be indifferent to the food and wealth that will soon be in hand.
Gu Yuexuan imagined the future scene of rolling rice paddies and golden fields, her eyes curved into a beautiful crescent moon. "With enough land and manpower, why limit ourselves to rice? Soybeans, sorghum, millet, wheat, which crop wouldn't be suitable for cultivation?"
"Grain can not only be used to brew fine wine, but the lees after brewing are also a delicious food for pigs and chickens. And the manure of these livestock, after a little fermentation, can be transformed into excellent farm fertilizer, nourishing the land and making crops grow more lush."
“This is exactly my ideal farm – a self-sufficient farm with unlimited production capacity.”
Two hours later, Cheng Jing'en still looked at Gu Yuexuan reluctantly as she stood up to leave, her eyes full of expectation and pleading: "Sister-in-law, when are you planning to move to the county town to live?"
Without waiting for Gu Yuexuan's response, he spoke without hesitation: "Running back and forth between the village and the county town really wastes too much precious time. Why don't you just move to the county town and settle down there? That way, traveling to the shop will become much more convenient."
"How about I arrange for someone to help you move your belongings over here in the next two days? The sooner you settle down, the sooner I can feel at ease."
At first, Cheng Jing'en did not take Tu Subo's suggestion to heart, but after a long talk with Gu Yuexuan for an afternoon, his whole heart was deeply touched.
If the future envisioned by Gu Yuexuan can become a reality, then Fangling, a corner long forgotten by the world, will be filled with infinite possibilities.
Looking into the future with great ambition, mountains of gold and silver seem to be right before our eyes.
At this moment, Cheng Jing'en stared at Gu Yuexuan as if he was looking at the God of Wealth among the three incense sticks enshrined on the shrine. His heart was filled with reluctance to let go of this freely walking Goddess of Wealth.
Gu Yuexuan smiled helplessly and asked, "Moving to the county town?"
Cheng Jingen nodded vigorously.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
Gu Yuexuan patiently explained, "The various plans we just discussed all focus on the farmland, but there is no available land in the county town."
Although life in the county town is convenient, how should we manage farmland?
The cultivation and yield of rice seeds are the key factors that determine the success of the farm. No one except her can do this.
Moreover, the technology she currently possesses is not mature enough, and the characteristics of the rice seeds she cultivates are still unstable.
There is no shortcut to this matter. The only way is to continue to invest time in practice and experimentation until we can cultivate rice varieties with stable traits, excellent disease resistance and high yield.
Even if that day comes, it will be impossible for her to live in the county town for a long time. She still has a lot of things to deal with.
Gu Yuexuan gave a brief explanation, and Cheng Jingen showed regret on his face.
"So, it seems that sister-in-law has no plans to leave the village at the moment?"
Gu Yuexuan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "What else can I do if I leave the village?"
"I know very little about business at the moment, so it's inappropriate for me to presumptuously interfere and give guidance. Since you and Tu Su Minfei are carefully looking after the shops in the city, I might as well calm down and learn from you first to master some basic knowledge."
Gu Yuexuan has a clear understanding of her situation.
When talking about the harvest in the fields and the quality of grain, she knows everything like the back of her hand and is also very adept at doing it herself.
However, for an ignorant grain dealer who blindly takes over, the risk of failure is far greater than the possibility of profit.
This is not due to inferiority complex, but rather a deep understanding that professional fields should be left to experts.
Learning is possible, but arrogantly thinking that you can do everything is not.
After hearing this, Cheng Jingen smiled knowingly, and then sighed casually: "I am really convinced by you."
No wonder the two arrogant people in the Tu Su family were so kind and amiable when they mentioned Gu Yuexuan. Her character and conversation were truly admirable.
Although Cheng Jing'en couldn't keep them, he didn't force them. When Gu Yuexuan and the others were about to leave, he handed the two account books he had prepared in advance to Tu Subo.
"Sister-in-law, opening and managing a store requires knowledge of account books. This is the foundation of business."
"These two account books are quite complex. Take them back and study them carefully. Mark any parts you don't understand. Come to the store every two weeks and I'll explain them to you in detail."
Tu Suminfei handed the snacks he brought to Tu Subo, but said to Gu Yuexuan, "Don't panic, sister-in-law."
“If you have any doubts at home, you may want to consult your mother.”
Yu was born into a family of authentic wealthy merchants. Besides a wide variety of treasures and gold and silver, the most common thing that passed through her hands since she was a child was various account books.
As long as Gu Yuexuan asked for advice, Yu would teach her everything he knew, telling her everything he knew.
Gu Yuexuan nodded slightly and looked up at Tu Subo involuntarily: "Should we go now?"
The stay has been quite long. If we delay any further, the night will become even darker on the way home.
Tu Subo gently stroked her wrist, his index finger lightly hooked her pulse, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered, "Let's go."
At this moment, their goal has been achieved, and all that remains is to wait patiently.
There is no fun in staying here for any longer.
Tu Subo extended a hand to help Gu Yuexuan lightly jump over the threshold, and the two walked away side by side. Tu Subo still tilted his head to whisper to her, and there was a gentle arc between his eyebrows, like a spring breeze blowing on her face, warm and cozy.
Cheng Jing'en narrowed his eyes slightly until their figures disappeared from his sight. He couldn't help but admire them and said with a hint of amusement, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it even if others told me about it."
Tu Suminfei was indeed dismissive of Cheng Jingen's meaningless lamentations. He pushed aside the small table in front of him, stood up and said, "I still have some trivial matters to take care of over there. Before that, I won't be coming over for the time being."
"oh?"
Cheng Jingen lazily picked his ears and said slowly, "Do you need help?"
"No need."
Tu Suminfei adjusted his collar, his tone revealing undisguised sarcasm: "It's just a small fish playing in the mud. If it mistakenly thinks it is a real dragon, then it is indeed wishful thinking."
"The result will surely make him realize his true self."
Cheng Jing'en smacked his lips twice and said no more. After Tu Suminfei left through the back door, he touched his chin and couldn't help but sneered.
He had said long ago that this arrogant attitude of looking down on others and disdainful of everything was Tu Su Minfei's true nature.
As for the gentleness and patience that Tu Subo and Tu Su Minfei showed when Gu Yuexuan was present, it can only be interpreted as the indescribable tacit understanding between cousins.
That's fine.
Cheng Jingen grabbed the tea that had already cooled on the table and drank it all in one gulp. He gently turned the teacup with his fingertips, and a deep smile flashed across his face.
The sharp claws of wild beasts can hurt others as well as themselves.
