Chapter 344 Heartbroken

Back in the room, Jiang Wan unfolded the title deed to her family's property, feeling extremely satisfied.

It has only been a short time, but our family has more and more land.

We should find someone to arrange the expansion tomorrow. Hu Toudie and his team did a great job when we built the house last time, so we will ask them to do it again this time.

By the way, there are also people who made it to the final round of recruitment last time but were not selected. This time, we don’t have to go through the trouble again and can just pick them directly from the list.

If you count the number of people, nearly half of the women in the village are in his workshop because of this trick.

I hope those women have money in their hands and feel more confident, so that they can have a say when I bring up the idea of ​​sending girls to school in the future.

Jiang Wan sat at the table and thought about everything. She went out only after she heard her mother calling her.

As soon as I went out, I saw her talking to someone who looked vaguely familiar.

Thinking carefully, oh, this is the golden mountain that I saw at the village chief's house that day.

Yes, he brought so many coconuts back to make coconut oil, it’s time for him to come to me.

I set the price of coconut oil myself at the beginning, 60 cents per pound, without bargaining.

"Uncle Jinshan, I think you should know the price of coconut oil, right?"

Lian Jinshan nodded happily.

"Of course I know. Sixty cents a pound. No bargaining. The villagers have long known about it."

Of course he had no objection.

Sixty cents is already a good profit.

"All the coconuts I brought back this time have been boiled into coconut oil. Except for the first batch that turned a little black, the village chief said that the others were boiled fine. Of course, you still need to check it first."

Lian Jinshan pointed to the door. He had already moved the boiled and canned coconut oil over on a cart.

Jiang Wan's family sells a lot of coconut oil every day, but this is the first time someone has sent so much.

She counted eight small jars.

Based on her experience of dealing with pottery jars in recent days, these jars can hold about 40 to 50 kilograms.

"These seven cylinders are full, and one is half full. Please check the quality first before we weigh them."

"no problem."

Jiang Wan went back to the house, got the wine, and opened and scooped up the bottles one by one to check.

After checking everything, Jiang Wan finally felt relieved.

The coconut oil is clean and contains no foreign matter. The color is clear and not turbid at all.

It seems that the old village chief is really watching over it personally.

"These coconut oils are fine, just weigh them."

She said that it was right in the yard and there were usually many villagers selling oil, so she was too lazy to put it back.

The eight tanks weighed a total of 440 kilograms. Minus the 10-kilogram weight of each tank, the coconut oil weighed about 360 kilograms.

Jiang Wan really thinks this person is amazing.

To make more than 300 kilograms of coconut oil, you need to use nearly 2,000 coconut meats.

Awesome, awesome.

"Uncle Jinshan, there are three hundred and sixty-two catties in total. If one catty is sixty cents, that means twenty-one ounces and seven hundred and twenty cents."

When he heard the number twenty-one taels, Lian Jinshan's heart started pounding wildly.

Even though he had already estimated the final price when he made the coconut oil, no matter how he calculated it, it was not as exciting as hearing Jiang Wan personally admit it.

"Uncle Jinshan, please count the money. Also, please put your fingerprint on the records of my purchase."

Jiang Wan no longer felt anything for the few dozen taels of silver, and didn't feel bad about giving it away.

Instead, he put the silver ingots in his arms like a Jinshan treasure, and then happily pressed his fingerprints.

This time he made a killing.

You have to know that he collected coconuts for three cents each, and for more than a thousand coconuts he only spent two taels and eight cents in total.

Not counting the travel expenses, he made 19 taels just from this one transaction!

He had the money to build a house and to marry a wife!

Lian Jinshan lowered his head and his eyes suddenly turned red.

It turns out that I can really make money. I am finally not the lazy guy that the villagers call me.

There is so much money, but unfortunately my parents and grandma can’t see it.

But you can show it to A Cui.

If she hadn't scolded me to wake me up, I would still be lying at home, living one day at a time.

She also told me how to make coconut oil and how to make money.

Although I can't share this money with her, I can use the money to marry her!

Lian Jinshan became more and more excited the more he thought about it.

Ah Cui lived next door to my family, and the relationship between the two families was pretty good. But I didn't do well in my early years, which made my parents feel ashamed in the village.

I don't like to go out, so naturally I don't have any good playmates. Ah Cui...

She couldn't explain what her relationship with herself was like. It was neither good nor bad.

When I was a child, I was loved by my family and had an egg every day. The conditions of Ah Cui next door were much worse. Her mother was weak and always took medicine, so her family was very poor.

Whenever I was eating eggs in the yard, A Cui would lie on the wall and look at me with eager eyes.

There was a time when I felt a little tired of cooking eggs myself, so I gave a few to her. Since then, A Cui has been very close to me.

But as we got older, our relationship faded.

He didn't know why A Cui suddenly came to scold him and then helped him clean up the house.

But he knew that A Cui was a good girl.

But there was no male in her family, and her parents were old and in poor health, so she had never been able to get married.

When a matchmaker came to propose marriage, she would choke the matchmaker by saying that she wanted to raise her parents as well. If she met someone with a bad temper, she would even quarrel with him at the door.

This is perfect, since I don't have any other family members. If I get married to A Cui, the two families can just carve a door in the courtyard wall and live as one family.

It’s great that A Cui can also take care of her parents nearby.

As for her mother's illness, if she made two more trips to get more coconuts, the money she earned would be enough to support the family for more than ten years.

Lian Jinshan held the silver in his arms, his heart burning with excitement. He could not wait to run back home to hide the silver, then he stepped on a stool, poked his head out from the courtyard wall and called Ah Cui.

At this moment, A Cui was mending clothes by the door when she heard Lian Jinshan calling her to go to the yard immediately.

"Ah Cui, I've sold all the coconut oil I made!!"

Ah Cui felt relieved when she heard that everything was sold. After all, she was the one who encouraged Lian Jinshan to sell coconut oil, and he ended up spending all his belongings to buy so many coconuts. To be honest, she felt very stressed.

"It's good that you sold it. I think you must have made a lot of money from selling so much coconut oil. You can use the money to repair the house and ask a matchmaker to find you a wife. Then you can live a good life."

Lian Jinshan was stunned.

It sounds like Ah Cui is not interested in me...

A basin of cold water splashed into my heart, and even the excitement of making a lot of money in Jinshan was much less.

"I'm not in a hurry to get married... I'm going to rebuild the house first."

Lian Jinshan said this in a dry voice and then retreated decisively.

The bud of love that had just sprouted in his heart was nipped in the bud by A Cui herself, and he still felt a little sad.
