After entering the bookstore, Jiang Li asked the shopkeeper if he had the Three Character Classic.
"Of course," the shopkeeper looked at Jiang Li's clothes and thought he didn't look like someone who could afford to buy books, but he didn't show any annoyance either.
"This book costs three taels of silver. Do you have money?" asked the shopkeeper.
"No," Jiang Li thought the book would be expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.
The shopkeeper pulled out a handwritten copy of the Three Character Classic from another shelf. "I'll sell it to you for three hundred and fifty coins. It's handwritten. Although the handwriting is ugly, at least there are no mistakes. Do you want it?"
Jiang Li nodded vigorously and used the remaining fifty cents to buy a pen and ink, leaving him with no money to buy paper.
The paper here is very expensive. One chapter costs five cents, which is enough to buy two buns.
Jiang Tuantuan also thought it was expensive, so he only bought a pen and ink. He decided to buy paper in the system mall. He could buy a large stack for ten points, which was no different from the paper he had now.
Before leaving, Jiang Li asked, "Boss, you also accept handwritten books, right?"
The shopkeeper stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "Yes, I'll give you fifty coins for a book without any mistakes, and one hundred coins for a book that is neatly written and beautiful."
This is really a huge profit. The price of a book sold outside can be increased sevenfold.
The little seed in Jiang Li's heart secretly sprouted. I want to do this business in the future. It's really profitable.
When he got home, it was dark. After dinner, Jiang Li took the Three Character Classic to find Jiang Dafeng.
Jiang Dafeng saw that the book was handwritten and the handwriting was ugly. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what was going on.
Reading is difficult and expensive in this era. It seems that he couldn't afford the original book, so he bought the handwritten one. But this kid is really studious.
Jiang Dafeng touched Jiang Li's head with satisfaction and began to teach him word by word. Although Jiang Li was already fourteen years old, he was still smart and learned quickly.
The land has opened up, but it is too dry and needs to be fertilized, otherwise it will be difficult to grow ginger.
In the original owner's memory, the family often used manure mixed with rice straw, wheat straw and river mud to make compost.
But where can Jiang Tuantuan find rice straw and wheat straw now? He can’t always borrow from other people’s homes.
There is no choice but to spend points to buy books in the mall.
A book on ancient agricultural encyclopedia attracted Jiang Tuantuan's attention. The key point was that it was cheap, only 100 points.
After getting the book, Jiang Tuantuan began to look for information about composting. Finally, hard work pays off.
Er Laizi came to work on time and saw Jiang Tuantuan standing under the tree. "Boss Tuan, what are you doing? You look lost in thought."
"Second Laizi, your task today is to dig up the fallen leaves from under the tree, along with the blackish soil."
"Why?"
Jiang Tuantuan: "Fertilize."
Er Laizi laughed and said, "You must have been stupid for three years because of your pregnancy. How can you use these leaves to make fertilizer?"
Jiang Tuantuan said calmly, "It's okay if you don't dig. Then go open up two more acres of wasteland."
After hearing this, Erlaizi immediately picked up his hoe and went to dig up the fallen leaves.
Jiang Tuantuan read in a book that fallen leaves can fertilize trees, which means that fallen leaves are fertile. The reason why the grass and trees in the mountains and forests can grow so well even without anyone fertilizing them is because of the fallen leaves.
All the dug-out fallen leaves and soil were poured onto the cleared wasteland. Jiang Tuantuan felt that the leaves were not enough, so he asked Er Laizi to spread the fallen leaves on the ground on top to cover the soil underneath tightly.
Jiang Tuantuan looked at the land with satisfaction. Er Laizi whispered to Jiang Li, "I think she's confused even though she's pregnant."
Jiang Li: "Do you know who is the boss of the Jiang family?"
"Of course it's Uncle Jiang, Jiang Dafeng!"
Jiang Li looked at Er Laizi like he was an idiot and said, "You're wrong. The boss is Jiang Tuan Tuan. Just listen to what she says. It's absolutely right."
Ever since he finished digging the soil, Erlaizi has been idle and sat bored halfway up the mountain.
"Chirp, chirp," a bird called.
Er Laizi looked up and found a rare mountain partridge. Its eyes, forehead, eyebrows and sides of the head were all black and connected into one piece. There were white spots scattered above the black eyebrows and connected to the back of the neck. The upper chest was covered with orange-red silky feathers, which was very beautiful.
Er Laizi suddenly became interested. While the mountain partridge was hunting on the ground, he rushed forward and caught him.
Then he ran down excitedly to show off to Jiang Li. Jiang Tuantuan was originally studying the encyclopedia of ancient agriculture in the house, but he couldn't stand it anymore because of Erlaizi's shouting.
I originally wanted him to be quiet, but when I saw the mountain partridge in his hand, my eyes immediately lit up.
"Where did you get this bird, Erlaizi? It's really beautiful."
"I caught it myself in the mountains," Er Laizi said proudly. "I'll take it to the county town in a few days to sell it. It's sure to be worth a lot of money."
Jiang Tuantuan stared at the bird with sparkling eyes. Erlaizi hugged the bird tightly in his arms and said, "Why does it look like you want to eat it?"
Jiang Tuantuan realized that he had lost his composure and coughed twice. "This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful bird. I love it so much."
Seeing that Jiang Tuantuan didn't look like she was lying, Er Laizi hesitated for a moment and handed the bird to Jiang Tuantuan.
"Since you like it so much, I'll give it to you."
"Wow, Erlaizi, are you sure? You're so nice."
Jiang Tuantuan took the bird, held it excitedly and went back to the house, and put it into the space. In the evening, the points came out, and there were a total of 50,000.
This made Jiang Tuantuan very excited, and Erlaizi had an extra chicken to eat in the evening.
Later, Jiang Tuantuan discovered that Erlaizi had a great talent for catching birds, so he took him to catch birds and wild rabbits every day.
Er Laizi has been naughty since he was a child, and catching birds and fishing is naturally no problem for him. However, he found something very strange about Jiang Tuantuan, that is, for every bird he caught, there would always be one missing after he gave it to her.
Jiang Tuantuan didn't explain, saying he had released her. Er Laizi was furious, but he had no choice but to endure it.
Over the past few days, plus the time I've been selling chickens in the trading mall, my points have reached nearly 200,000.
Because they caught too many birds and couldn't eat them all, they prepared to take them to the county town to sell them.
There are few people selling birds in the county town, but there are many wealthy families who like to eat roasted birds. Jiang Tuantuan sells one bird for 100 wen, and the big ones for 150 wen. Although it is expensive, there are still many people who come to buy. In the end, after taking out the second-hand goods, Jiang Tuantuan and Erlaizi split the rest equally.
Each person received 500 coins. The two beggars were very excited. They felt that they were rich now, so they wanted to go out and buy some wine, eat out, and buy some new clothes.
Jiang Tuantuan pulled him back and told him to save some money, as he didn't even have a wife yet.
Er Laizi ate two meat buns with a wronged look on his face, bought himself a pair of new shoes, and had 12350 coins left, which he gave all to Jiang Tuantuan, asking her to save it for him.
Jiang Tuantuan took out a small notebook and wrote it down and put it in the space.
He went to buy another twenty kilograms of food and went home.
Half a month passed and the fertilizer was almost fermented. After sweeping away the leaves on top, the soil underneath was indeed much softer.
