Chapter 38: You calculated it very well. Don’t calculate it next time.
"If you bury money, a lot of money will grow out?"
Jiang Mixia, "..."
No, that wasn't what she meant, although she wanted to.
Song Jingyun obviously felt that something was wrong with what he said, and scratched his head, "It seems not right, my wife seemed to have said that only seeds and the like can be planted, and other things cannot be planted."
For example, corns can be planted, beans can be planted, apples can be planted, and there are also flowers and plants.
Things like benches, tables, chickens, ducks, fish, etc. are not allowed to be planted.
This copper coin is a dead object and should not be planted.
But Jiang Mixia said that the money in this box will increase...
Song Jingyun felt a little confused.
"I just said that we will make more money in the future, so the money in this box will gradually increase." Jiang Mixia explained.
"I see." Song Jingyun suddenly realized, "Then is there any way for my wife to make more money?"
Jiang Mixia, "I'm still thinking..."
"so……"
Song Jingyun thought for a while and then said, "I heard my mother and my aunt talking before. They said that if they are too busy, they want to rent out the land at home to others to grow crops, and we can collect the rent."
"We charge 20% rent for one mu of land. If we calculate based on one mu of land producing 300 catties of wheat and 500 catties of corn per year, we can earn less than one or two taels of silver. Then we can earn 200 coins. If we have 100 mu of land, we can earn 20 taels of silver per year just from rent."
"If we have a thousand acres of land, we can earn two hundred taels of silver. If we do nothing every year and earn two hundred taels of silver, we should be able to live a comfortable life and buy whatever we want to eat."
"To buy one mu of land, good farmland costs ten taels of silver, and inferior farmland costs eight taels of silver. We can sell almost one tael of silver at a market. Add to that the income from the tea garden, and we can earn eight taels of silver in about a month. Excluding our daily food and drink, we estimate that we can buy two mu of land in three months."
"In this way, we can buy eight acres of land in a year, and rent them out directly. Add the rent we earn every day... I estimate that in 70 to 80 years at the slowest, or 50 to 60 years at the fastest, our family will have a thousand acres of land."
Jiang Mixia, "..."
Reaching out and patting Song Jingyun on the shoulder, Jiang Mixia said faintly, "You are good at math and you calculated very well."
"Not bad." Song Jingyun chuckled, "I've been learning some math from my elder brother recently. He said I learn very quickly."
"You are a quick learner. Don't give up next time. Just go to bed."
Song Jingyun, "..."
The night is deep and the dew is heavy. The earth is silent.
Song Jingyun tossed and turned, and finally couldn't help but reached out and touched Jiang Mixia's arm, "Did I calculate it wrong just now?"
Jiang Mixia asked back, "How long can you interstellar people live?"
"The average life expectancy on our planet is about 600 years, and the long-lived ones probably live to 700 or 800 years old," Song Jingyun replied.
Jiang Mixia, "..."
Excuse me! When she didn't ask!
In the next few days, Song Jingyun was a little depressed.
He had not noticed before that the average life expectancy here was so short, only one tenth of that of the people on their planet.
If this were the case, his plan to buy land and collect rent would not be realized.
Moreover, he can only live for a few decades, and based on the amount of food he eats three times a day, the amount he can eat is too little.
But he heard Jiang Mixia say that there are thousands of delicious things in this world...
It was over, he certainly couldn't try everything.
When Song Jingyun thought of this, he felt extremely depressed.
Seeing that there was not even a trace of smile on the young son-in-law's face, Jiang Mixia thought he was just worried about birth, old age, sickness and death.
Such a short lifespan must be very difficult for an interstellar person like the young son-in-law to get used to.
Just like a child cannot understand that people grow old and die.
After much deliberation, Jiang Mixia decided to take Song Jingyun to the river to relax.
Let's see if spearing fish and picking clams can help the young son-in-law regain his spirits.
Song Jingyun was not interested at first, but when she heard Liu say that if she brought back the fish with a fork, she would try to make tomato fish.
Tomatoes are sour and sweet, and they are delicious when eaten cold, stir-fried, or made into soup. Fish is also delicious no matter how you cook it. If you put these two together, the result must be something incredibly delicious.
Song Jingyun perked up, took the harpoon, carried the bamboo basket, and went out with Jiang Mixia.
It is hot in the middle of summer in July.
Although people cannot go out to work in the fields at this time, the farm women are not idle. They gather in groups of three or four, doing needlework and chatting.
There were two big poplar trees in front of Zhang's house, with lush branches and leaves, providing a large area of shade, so a few people gathered under the trees.
"Let me tell you, Jiang Youcheng's family must have been contaminated by something unclean. You'd better stay away from them in the future and don't get contaminated by any dirt." Zhang said as she was sewing shoe soles.
"What are you saying? I haven't heard anything has happened to his family recently."
"Neither have I heard of it."
Seeing that the two women in front of her did not continue to talk about what she said, Zhang curled her lips and cursed in her heart, but she still said patiently, "This dirty thing is only used to harm other people's families. Of course, his family is fine. Let's not talk about others. Take my family for example. My Chunhe has never been empty-handed when he went into the mountains to hunt. Ever since he had a quarrel with that damn girl Jiang Mixia, he has never been able to catch anything in the mountains. Isn't this bad luck?"
"Could it be that Chunhe of your family is unlucky? I ran into Aunt Zhao praying to God at home a few days ago. She kept muttering something about how she must bless Jiang Youcheng's family to be safe and sound. She also said that because of his family's influence, the wild ducks at home lay eggs all day long. Not only can they not be eaten up every day, but they can also be exchanged for money to buy soy sauce and vinegar."
"Speaking of which, I seem to have seen Sun smiling all day long, her face almost crooked from laughing. I heard that the shrimp baskets she puts in the river are always full. Others also put shrimp baskets down, but none of them can catch as much as her family."
"Yes, Jiang Liushun's family also said that they picked wild peaches. They are big and sweet, and there are so many of them that you can't pick them all. I heard that the families in our village who have been lucky recently are all people who helped build houses for Jiang Youcheng's family. They all said that it was because his family was blessed, and if they got a little bit of it, their own blessings would be endless."
"Yeah, I heard that too. Without mentioning other things, let's take my family as an example. Recently, I feel that everything at home has been going smoothly. I don't know if it has anything to do with this matter.
"Since everyone thinks that Renjiang Youchengjia is a blessed place with a rich family, why do you think that Renjiang Youchengjia is unclean?"
