According to the agreement, Qian Chunhua took out one tenth of the profit, 630 taels, and gave it to Xu Jiang and Xu Tao. The two brothers each received 310 taels of silver.
They were so happy. This was the first time in their lives that they received so much money.
Xu Tao quickly returned the money Qian Chunhua had lent him to send his son to school.
The Xu family had no children, so the six hundred and fifty taels of silver all went into the hands of Grandma Xu. After she paid back the money she had borrowed to repair the house at the beginning of the year, there were still more than ten taels of silver left in the family.
The Xu family earned income by cooking in the workshop, and also received wages by working on the farm.
The Xu family is large, with a total of ten people working on the farm and cooking in the workshop. Xu Jiang's brothers, plus their sons and daughters, can earn more than sixty taels of silver every month. After deducting expenses, they have saved more than three thousand taels in the past six months.
Granny Xu now has more than eight hundred taels of silver in her hands.
Granny Xu said with great emotion, "Thanks to the county lady for helping us out of consideration for our fellow countrymen. Not only did she save my life, but she also gave our Xu family a chance to survive."
Looking at the shining silver on the table, the Xu family felt the same way.
This is only the money that the Xu family earned in the first year of following the county lord. According to the county lord's plan, next year, in addition to greenhouse vegetables, the farm's land will no longer be used to grow wheat.
If we use all our money to grow watermelons, it will bring us a gratifying return.
In addition to the good profits from vegetables on the farm, the pheasants raised in the mountains also sold for a lot of money.
Qian Xingshan’s fried chicken business had just opened in the capital. This time, the Dong family did not act cautiously, but directly opened four shops in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest of the capital.
The fried chicken business was booming. All the raw chickens needed for the business were provided by the landlord Sun. If there were no chickens on the mountain, the landlord Sun would go to the village to buy them.
If there were not enough in the village, Landlord Sun would arrange for Brother Sun Da and Brother Sun to go to other villages to purchase goods, and try their best to meet the needs of the shop.
With their full cooperation, Landlord Sun earned 1,600 taels from selling chickens at the end of the year.
Although the money earned was far from satisfying as compared to the greenhouse vegetables, it also gave Landlord Sun hope.
Next year, he will increase the breeding of pheasants and strive to do it all by himself so that he can meet the needs of four shops in the capital.
In case the supply is insufficient, he also plans to integrate outside and directly invest in several chicken farms.
He discussed these plans with Qian Chunhua in detail.
Qian Chunhua liked Uncle Sun's proactive attitude, so when she gave him the year-end bonus, she did not give him a share as agreed.
Instead, he was directly given three hundred thousand taels of interest, four hundred and eighty taels.
At the same time, Qian Chunhua also talked to him about the possibility of renegotiating their cooperation on the chicken farm next year. After all, when Landlord Sun came to help him, he was only growing medicinal herbs.
The profitability of the chicken farm was actually the idea of Landlord Sun himself.
Landlord Sun said that he had no capital and could not invest in more chicken farms, but he could cooperate with the county lord.
In fact, Landlord Sun had another idea. He did not want to compete with the county lord. He hoped to lean on a big tree for better development.
So he proposed a chicken farm plan, in which the county lord would provide the money and he would be responsible for the management, and the profits would be proportional.
Qian Chunhua agreed without hesitation, but at the same time said that after the cooperation with the chicken farm, Landlord Sun could not give up the task of planting medicinal herbs and condiments on the mountain. She also counted on these condiments to provide a steady supply of materials for Yipinxiang's antique soup.
The two parties quickly discussed the cooperation and signed a contract.
Qian Chunhua was very happy that she had added a new business. She had never thought that business in ancient times was too easy to do.
