Shuiqing added, "Don't throw away the green ones you pick either. Bring them back and use them to make products, understand?"
Adapting to the market is important, but sometimes it's also necessary to take precautions!
The red-skinned variety is expensive because it's popular among the wealthy in Nanjing today. But what if one day they stop liking the red-skinned variety and start preferring the green-skinned variety?
Or perhaps they are no longer the benefactors, and a new group of people have taken their place?
Therefore, green tangerine peel is also needed. Fortunately, aged tangerine peel is better the longer it is stored, and the more expensive it becomes.
However, preserving them properly is not an easy task; it would require building many warehouses.
I wonder how things went with Fan Jin's conversation with the men in the village about building a house?
While Shuiqing was holding a mobilization meeting with the women in the village, Fan Jin arrived in the village and discussed building a factory in the old village chief's courtyard.
Most of the women in the village went to their own homes, leaving only the men in the village.
Without hesitation, Li Wen said first, "Sure! My family will use your donkey for seven days. We agreed that one day would be equivalent to three days. How about the three of us brothers work together for seven days, or each of us works for twenty-one days?"
Xu Laosan followed up: "My family also used it for seven days, how do you plan to return it?"
The other men chimed in.
Donkeys are so useful! These men can only plow about half an acre a day, and anyone who can plow an acre is praised as a capable person by the whole village!
Donkeys can easily cultivate two or three acres a day, so when you calculate it, they actually make a profit by using donkeys to pay for labor.
Building a house is much easier than pulling a plow. Pulling a plow is really hard and tiring, and you have to put in a lot of effort to pull it, just like carrying a heavy sack. But building a house doesn't require that; it mostly just takes a bit of skill.
Furthermore, Fan Jin's plow was exceptionally useful, capable of turning in both directions. When plowing to the edge, it didn't need to be lifted to change direction; it could plow back and forth directly!
It's convenient, lightweight, and incredibly easy to use. Compared to Fan Jin's house, I feel like I have to throw everything in my own house away!
I've really learned something new.
Fan Xiaoliu looked at Fan Jin with admiration and said boldly, "Brother Jin, when my family has money, I will definitely get a plow just like yours! That way, I won't have to work so hard to pull the plow anymore."
Li Wu couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
This angered Fan Xiaoliu, who glared at him and said, "Brother Wu, aren't you one too? How dare you laugh at me!"
He knew perfectly well that everyone in the village wanted to get the same plow and harrow as his brother!
Li Wu laughed as he said, "Of course I am! But I'm laughing at you for having money and still thinking about pulling the plow yourself!"
Fan Xiaoliu was confused: "If I don't pull the plow myself, who will?"
"Of course it's a donkey."
"How come you don't know yet? We're all waiting for Brother Fan's donkey to give birth! Then we can not only get new plows and harrows, but also donkeys to plow the fields!"
"Yes, I've heard about it. Let's raise them for two years first, and then we'll have donkeys to plow the fields."
The men who knew the truth started talking one after another, while those who didn't know the truth, like Fan Xiaoliu, were initially bewildered, then their eyes widened, and finally they smiled like flowers.
