Chapter 234: Money from Selling Fruits
Hongcai immediately told Su Yunluo like he was counting all the treasures on his back: "Madam, there are the most fruits in this season. Grapes, pomegranates, pears, oranges, dates, and persimmons are all ripe."
"Okay, then let's go pick fruit. Those who want to pick fruit, bring baskets and follow me!" Su Yunluo gave an order, and everyone around him followed.
Even if someone didn't want to leave and wanted to stay to read the gossip, they would just give Su Yunluo a look and follow him obediently.
Leaving Baizhi alone, he turned around and ran quickly to the room.
After closing the door and locking it, Bai Zhi looked down at the letter in her hand, her heartbeat beginning to accelerate.
What was written in the letter?
After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up the courage and began to open the letter tremblingly.
The letter was opened, and inside was... a painting.
A man and a woman, the man gave a heart of love to the woman.
Bai Zhi: "What the hell are these?"
……
Su Yunluo took everyone to pick fruits.
At first it was just to divert everyone's attention, but when everyone saw the heavy and tempting fruits on the trees, they started picking them happily.
"This pomegranate is really good. It's so big and plump. I'll pick it and squeeze the juice to drink."
"The grapes over there are good too. Pick some and dry them into raisins."
“The dates are so sweet!”
"The persimmon tree is so tall, I can't pick any."
Seventeen flew up without saying a word and helped everyone pick a large basket of persimmons.
"With so many fruits, why doesn't the third village chief come to pick them?" Su Yunluo said as he threw a big red date into his mouth.
It is crispy, sweet, and has a small core. It is a really good date.
Hongcai replied respectfully: "Village Chief Zhang said that we should wait until the rice in the fields is harvested before picking the fruits to sell. By then, everyone will have money in their hands and will be happy to buy things."
Su Yunluo didn't expect that Village Chief Zhang would consider so much.
Su Yunluo especially likes to eat fruits. On this day, he ate fruits all day long and didn't eat a single bite of rice.
On the third day of their stay in the manor, the three village chiefs came to visit early in the morning.
Su Yunluo asked someone to invite them in, and then took out all the fruits picked yesterday to entertain the three of them.
"The fruits here are really good. Don't be polite, just eat more." After saying that, he grabbed a date and put it in his mouth.
She loves this date the most, it is so delicious. She never gets tired of it!
Seeing that she ate without any airs, the three village chiefs boldly took some fruit to eat.
After a while, Shaoyao brought four cups of drinks in bamboo tubes and said, "This is pomegranate juice. The three village heads, please have a taste."
"Can pomegranates be squeezed into juice?" They had never seen or even heard of such a way of eating.
Out of curiosity, I picked it up and took a bite, and I was immediately shocked!
"It's really pomegranate juice! How is this made?"
"It's very simple. Peel the pomegranate, dig out the pomegranate seeds, put them in a container, and then press it. That's it." Shaoyao likes to make pomegranate juice because everyone loves to drink it.
In order to peel the pomegranate, I would not hesitate even if my fingernails were peeled black.
They ate and drank, but the three village chiefs did not forget their business.
The village chief of Shangbu Village took out a notebook and opened it. Inside were his accounts and the fingerprints of several people.
"Madam Su, this is the income from selling peaches and plums. The total amount is 980 taels of silver. According to your 686% share and our % share, you should get taels of silver."
After saying that, he handed the account book to Su Yunluo.
Su Yunluo took a look and saw that the income from each transaction was clearly recorded.
Some even have only a few copper coins.
After the village chief of Shangbu Village finished speaking, the village chief of Xiabu Village took out a cloth bag, opened the cloth bag, and found another bag inside.
Inside the bag, there is a smaller bag.
After opening three bags in succession, silver was found inside.
"Here are six hundred taels, here are eight ten taels, and here are six taels. The total is six hundred and eighty-six taels. Madam Su, please take a look."
People have counted them so carefully, why would you still need to look?
Su Yunluo smiled and stretched out his hand, took out two hundred taels from the six hundred, pushed them back, and moved the rest in front of himself.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Fifty-fifty. You can take the two hundred taels back."
"No. Madam Su, we agreed on a 3:7 ratio. You'll get 7 and we'll get 3."
Su Yunluo smiled and said, "Who made this promise to you? I didn't agree to it at that time. I just said we'll see when the time comes. How to divide my fruit is naturally up to me. Take it."
The three village chiefs exchanged glances for a while, and finally accepted the two hundred taels of silver.
The three of them burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Madam."
Su Yunluo invited the three to have lunch, but they declined.
"We have to go back to harvest rice, so we won't eat it."
"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness."
"Are we going to start harvesting rice today?"
"Yes, we saw that the weather has been good recently, so we mobilized the villagers to harvest the rice quickly."
"Then I'll go with you."
"can."
Su Yunluo asked people to pick a lot of fruits and take them away.
When we arrived at the fields, all the villagers from the three villages, young and old, women and children, were already helping in the fields.
A lot of rice was cut down.
It was a lively scene.
Su Yunluo had only seen scenes of rice harvesting in books.
In her time, planting had already been completely automated.
Not to mention manual harvesting, no human involvement is required throughout the entire process.
It's all done by machines in the greenhouse.
When harvesting rice, the machine goes in this way and comes out that way as rice.
The rice is sent to a special cooking department, cooked into rice, paired with vegetables, packed into boxes, and made into boxed lunches and sent to all parts of the country.
Now that she has seen the real scene of rice harvesting, she can't help but roll up her sleeves and join in.
However, some things can be played for a while, but if you do them for a long time, your back and waist will ache.
The rice leaves cut my skin, leaving red marks that were itchy and uncomfortable.
Su Yunluo stepped aside after playing for a while.
Watching the villagers still working hard to harvest rice, even though they are so tired, their faces are always filled with happy smiles.
Su Yunluo really admires them!
It would save a lot of effort if we could get a harvester!
But, she won't do that.
She can only use modern equipment secretly at home and dare not take it outside.
Not to mention such large equipment!
If this person really made a harvester, he would be caught as a monster!
After resting for a while, he asked people to distribute the fruits he brought to the villagers working in the fields.
After the villagers received the fruits, they all looked at Su Yunluo with grateful smiles, and then began to eat with big mouthfuls.
After eating, continue to work hard.
At noon, everyone did not go home to eat, but took out the dry food they brought in the morning to fill their stomachs.
After eating a few bites, he sat down to drink some water and then continued working.
However, in the afternoon, some villagers did not continue to harvest the rice, but instead formed groups of several people, brought threshing buckets, and began to thresh the rice.
