This year is really a bumper harvest

of grain. The glutinous rice planted by the Gu family is almost 20,000 catties!

If they send 2,000 catties of the 20,000 catties of glutinous rice to Captain Huang, they can pay 15% less tax at the government office. After deducting the 20% profit to give to Yu's family, Chen Xuanxuan feels that eating glutinous rice every day is not a dream at all.

After Chen Xuanxuan got such a big harvest this year, she was very happy.

She was happy, and her family was also happy.

Because old lady Liu also reclaimed more than 100 mu of land this year. The grain obtained was also more than 20,000 catties.

As soon as these things were harvested, merchants in Tongzhen came to the door and expressed their willingness to buy them.

So, without saying a word, old lady Liu sold all the things at a suitable price. Only a small part was left.

She saved part of the money from selling glutinous rice and bought some old grain to take home.

Old lady Liu was planning to raise cattle and pigs this year.

And Chen Xuanxuan had actually agreed with Old Lady Liu that she was going to raise ten pigs and two donkeys.

After paying the tax, Chen Xuanxuan, like Old Lady Liu, sold most of the glutinous rice. The money was exchanged for that kind of old grain.

When Chen Xuanxuan took Gu Yanzhang, followed Old Lady Liu, Chen Daming and others to Tongzhen to buy old grain, they found that there were many kinds of old grain. There are also various grades.

Different grades have different prices.

Chen Xuanxuan looked at a lot, and after discussing with the old lady Liu, she bought two cents a pound of old grain.

Some of these old grains are moldy, some have worms, and some have an indescribable bitter taste. There are also some old things that have been stored for nearly twenty years.

Chen Xuanxuan did not plan to eat this batch of old grains herself. She has already planned it. Let the pigs and donkeys eat it.

In addition, the few acres of wheat in her family will not be sold. She will eat it herself. As for the sorghum flour, it will also be eaten by her family. As

for the one thousand pounds of glutinous rice left at home, it is also for her own consumption.

The money from selling glutinous rice is not all used to buy old grains. Chen Xuanxuan also bought 12 piglets and two donkeys at a reasonable price.

There were so many things that the shopkeeper called the waiter and drove ten mule carts to deliver the things to Chenjia Village and Gujiagang.

This summer, old lady Liu and Chen Xuanxuan, mother and daughter, ran everywhere. They were running around in and out of the city. They spent money here and there every day, buying this and that. Some people's eyes turned red when they saw them.

They were rich, really too rich.

Those who knew how to count were counting their money in the house every day.

What did they buy today? How much did they spend? What will they buy tomorrow? How much will they spend?

As long as they think of this mother and daughter, who spent a dozen or so taels of silver on all those random things, those who are particularly good at calculating can't help but scold them privately as spendthrift women.

Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this!

If you have money, you have to save it slowly. It's best to buy the land directly.

Dealing with government officials, spending money, and only renting it for five years, what's the big deal? !

When many people think of this, they feel that Chen Xuanxuan and old lady Liu are not good at living.

However, Chen Xuanxuan has her own unique view on such issues.

In the spring of this year, they planted glutinous rice.

The glutinous rice harvest was also a big one, with an output of almost 200 kilograms per mu.

For the feudal ancient society, the grain output per mu was quite good.

Because there are no chemical fertilizers or pesticides here. The reason why such a large piece of land can grow well this year is mainly due to the fertile silt.

Once the fertility in the silt is absorbed by the plants, then in the years to come, the grain output of growing crops on such land will gradually decrease every year.

Because their family does not have that much manure.

If they spend money to buy the manure, it will be a huge expense.

In addition, after a few years, there might be a big landlord with connections who would be eyeing this piece of land, so Chen Xuanxuan has been thinking that she doesn't need to spend that much money to buy this piece of land now.

If she really dares to spend money to buy it, someone will definitely whisper in private, where did she get all that money?

Is there any big treasure hidden in her house?

It's not that you're afraid of thieves stealing, but you're afraid of thieves thinking about it.

Chen Xuanxuan feels that she doesn't need to buy that piece of land.

After the bumper harvest of glutinous rice, Chen Xuanxuan said to Gu Yanzhang again, "Boss, while the weather outside is still good and the temperature is high, our family should seize the time and plant some high-yield food crops. For example, rapeseed and soybeans."

Gu Yanzhang listened and agreed readily.

He felt uncomfortable with those fertile fields lying there empty.

So he ran to Yujiashan and found the people of the Yu family.

This year, the five brothers of the Yu family got thousands of kilograms of glutinous rice. After all the glutinous rice was sold, their family made a fortune.

After they had money, they bought the Jiang family's bricks in Tongzhen. They were going to build a few bright new houses next to their old house.

When Gu Yanzhang came with the things, they were already busy.

When they heard Gu Yanzhang say that he wanted to ask them to plant some rapeseed and soybeans in that piece of land, they agreed without saying a word.

Every time their eldest cousin thought of such a good thing, he immediately thought of them, why didn't they agree?

So, the five brothers of the Yu family divided some people to plant rapeseed, soybeans and various wild vegetables in Chen Xuanxuan's land every day.

After the wild vegetables were ripe, Chen Xuanxuan asked them to help cook pig food.

Because their family's 12 piglets were raised in those earthen houses.

When people are busy, they tend to forget time.

Time passed quickly, and it was September before they knew it.

September was a cool and crisp autumn day.

As soon as Chen Xuanxuan woke up in the morning, she first ate a pickled cabbage bun and a big bowl of red dates, red beans and glutinous rice.

A lot of honey and sugar were put into the red dates, red beans and glutinous rice. Therefore, everything tasted sweet and was particularly delicious.

Chen Xuanxuan loved sweet food in her previous life as well as in this life.

Especially the sweet, soft or crispy desserts. She loved them very much.

After eating and drinking enough in the morning, Chen Xuanxuan would consciously walk a few steps outside for a walk.
