Help, help? The master's attitude is really confusing. After all, this is not the master's style, so he didn't react at all.
Zhou Hansheng originally thought that his explanation was quite normal, but Zhao Nan's reaction made him frown slightly, "Why don't you go quickly? Thanks to Miss Zhao's pastries that day at the mountain temple, otherwise you would all be hungry. Why would you be so stunned by such a trivial matter?
"
"Ah! Yes!" Zhao Nan nodded hurriedly and turned around.
When Zhou Hansheng got on the car, Zhong Jing looked left and right: "Hey, where is Zhao Nan?"
Zhou Hansheng said calmly without changing his expression: "I have something for him to deal with."
Zhong Jing immediately said: "Is it related to Miss Zhao?"
Zhou Hansheng was silent. This guy was outrageously careless when it came to business matters, but his intuition was astonishingly accurate when it came to trivial matters like this.
But will he admit it? Of course not.
"What did you say?"
Zhong Jing seemed to be vaguely aware of the murderous intent in these words, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, uh, I didn't say anything..."
But he was thinking in his heart that when that boy Zhao Nan comes back, he will definitely arrest someone in private and ask him carefully. Business is important, and his brother Sheng's life-long event is certainly business! He has never seen his brother Sheng.
I have seen this girl with my eyes. Although this is a remote place in Lingnan, the girl here is not qualified to be his brother Sheng's wife, but even if it is a side wife, it is the girl's family that burns high incense...
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling never expected to meet Mr. Zhou's entourage here, and they were surprised and happy.
Zhao Liya subconsciously felt a little regretful when she didn't see Mr. Zhou - he was a handsome guy with outstanding temperament, who wouldn't want to take a second look at him? After all, he is so eye-catching!
During the chat, Zhao Nan pretended to smile casually and asked: "By the way, Miss Zhao, what are you doing here, Brother Hu? I have a few acquaintances here, do you need help with anything?"
He has no acquaintances here, but General Zhong has acquaintances, and General Zhong is there to support several people.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling felt happy.
Zhao Liya's smile brightened, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment: "Oh, this - will it bother you too much..."
"No way!" Zhao Nan smiled and said: "After all, we ate Ms. Zhao's snacks in the mountain temple, so it is right to help with this, haha!"
Zhao Liya, Hu Ling: "..."
It was just a snack, and later they even took them from Shanshen Temple back to Gaolian County. If you really think about it, it would be even.
Zhao Liya smiled: "You are so polite..."
Mr. Zhou seemed to have a good bearing at first glance. Although Zhao Liya didn't know who he was, he definitely had some power.
Since Zhao Nan said this, it must be Master Zhou who told him. Master Zhou did not come forward because it was inconvenient or unavailable, but since he was willing to help and he was not familiar with the place here, there was no need to refuse, so that
In case I cause more trouble to myself.
Zhao Liya thanked her and happily told her what she wanted.
Zhao Nan nodded: "I see! Miss Zhao is really capable, and she also knows how to make sugar!"
Of course Zhao Liya understands. As a senior folklore researcher at the Folklore Museum before time travel, she specifically learned about the ancient method of making sugar, and even learned some about sugar cane. Therefore, this matter is an insurmountable barrier for others.
But it was too easy for her.
Of course, you have to be humble in front of Zhao Nan: "Oh, it's just a coincidence. I happened to know this and just wanted to make a little money."
Zhao Nan agreed and asked with a smile how many sugarcane seedlings Zhao Liya needed.
There are no seeds for sugarcane planting. Just plant mature sugarcane directly, as long as there are sugarcane buds. One sugarcane can grow five to seven sugarcanes.
One acre of land requires approximately 200 to 280 sugarcane seeds based on 2,000 sugarcane plants.
The land their family bought was 600 acres, but they had to leave some roads, two small patches of groves, dig ditches to divert water, and set aside space for building a sugar workshop including warehouses, tool rooms, daily offices, etc.
If we leave thirty to forty acres, then the land for planting sugar cane is considered to be looser, let’s calculate it as five hundred and fifty acres.
This requires about 154,000 pieces of sugar cane. One piece of sugar cane weighs four to five kilograms, six or seven kilograms, which means about nine hundred thousand kilograms are needed.
At this time, the yield per mu is not high, about 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms, which means that more than 200 acres of sugar cane are needed to plant 550 acres of land.
Planting sugar cane costs half of the cost! If the management is extensive and not refined enough, the sugar production process is not advanced enough, and the sugar yield rate is not high, it will really be a hard-earned money.
Only by planting on a large scale can you make money. If you want to make money by planting ten or eight acres, you will basically not make anything.
This is why Linbian Suixi County has many large sugar cane farmers, but Gaolian County has none.
Unless someone is as courageous as Zhao Liya and invests a big sum of money all at once, you won't be able to make much money from a small fight!
The reason why Zhao Liya dared to invest a lot of money was because she had skills and knew how to make sugar.
These days, craftsmanship, craftsmanship, and recipes are all heirlooms that are worth a fortune. How can it be so easy to get the craft of making sugar?
However, Zhao Liya's capital is limited. Now she only has more than 620 taels of silver on hand. Fresh sugar cane costs one penny per catty, and even 900,000 catties costs 900 taels of silver. They cannot afford so much.
Zhao Liya plans to plant only 400,000 catties, which means she can plant about 300 acres.
Even so, the quantity required is also very huge.
Zhao Nan was a little dumbfounded...
Five hundred and fifty acres, do you need this much sugar cane? Not that much, three hundred acres is a lot... Did he agree a little too early?
Although he doesn't know much about farming, he probably has an impression of how big three hundred acres is.
Zhao Liya smiled knowingly: "We want a lot, but if we don't plant enough sugar cane, we won't make money! If Brother Zhaonan can help us get some, no matter how much, it will be a great help to us!"
Hu Ling also nodded quickly: "That's right!"
After the shock passed, Zhao Nan heard what Zhao Liya and Hu Ling said, and quickly said: "No, no, no, Miss Zhao, Brother Hu, you're welcome. This is, um, not a lot. I can get it for you."
"real?!"
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were both surprised.
Zhao Liya did a little calculation at home and knew a lot. She had already made plans to plant as many as she could, but if it didn't work, she could just forget about it and just plant sweet potato vines in the remaining land. She still had time to plant sweet potato vines anyway, and she couldn't give up the land anyway.
