The first snowfall in the thirteenth year of Yongping was also the year of Bingxu, which was about to begin in spring.
It snowed very heavily this time, and Yinqiu City was especially beautiful covered in silver!
In Linxia Mansion, the days when the door is closed are particularly beautiful.
The house has been tidied up, there is food, drink and firewood. During the first month, we eat, drink and entertain guests.
We don’t have guests at home, so we treat ourselves as guests and give ourselves something delicious every day.
Eat something different every day.
When the snow stopped, Yeman felt that she had gained ten pounds.
Even if she didn't grow in the past few days, as she grew taller, she weighed seventy pounds.
Compared to those who came out of the Rong family and weighed more than 40 pounds, this growth is very obvious.
Wang Suning and Cuiyu dressed up their master beautifully. They look good when they are round.
My master has a round face, especially good skin, which is starting to glow now.
Wang Suning said: "Those people in Ningzhou will never recognize him."
Ye Man asked: "You go back and ask Mother Feng to identify you?"
Wang Suning was taken care of by her master, and she didn't care about that experience. Instead, she said, "I should give Mother Feng a New Year's greeting."
Several people left the main courtyard.
Because I rarely go forward and mostly go back, the side door is the most popular one.
At this moment, the snow has not melted and the road has been cleared.
Wang Ru changed his clothes and came out from the side door.
His side door faces the main courtyard, which is really close.
It's very cold now, although the spring breeze is blowing.
Wang Ruqian is wearing a big fur coat, and it is not cold at all. His beautiful face is also rounded, and his Qi is nourishing his body.
Wang Ruqian's face has the edges and corners of a man, and the lines are very soft. Such a woman is also good-looking.
His eyes are very beautiful, but his eyes are different from those of the delicate woman.
Or, if he pretends to be cute, he can be charming.
After all, many things follow the heart.
It's just that some people make it disgusting, and some people make it amazing.
Let's all go to the Yunhe Tower at the back together.
Yunhe means Xianyun Yehe, and this character was also written by Yeman.
Wang Ruqian looked at the words on the plaque and saw that she had a different temperament from the one at the gate. The young lady was probably a true hermit, an expert outside the world.
Wang Ru moved into the building and felt it was very good.
This building is tall, the snow scenery outside is good, and the ancient trees in the northwest are even better, which brings out that kind of atmosphere.
There is a large array, so the atmosphere is better, and the people staying there are very comfortable and cool.
There are many stoves in the house, which can also be used to boil water and stew soup. In short, it is quite warm.
The windows were opened a little, and to the southeast, the water surface was surrounded by snow, which was very beautiful.
The fragrance of plum blossoms was blowing in the wind, and there were several pots of daffodils in the room, which were blooming just right.
Everyone sat down in the room and started eating.
Ye Man was sitting at the main seat, accompanied by several maids, and there were several green vegetables on the table, which were very beautiful.
Others also have green on the table, drink some wine, and have a really pleasant time with the door closed.
Mr. Gan also sat down to eat and said to his master, "Everyone has a double chin."
Yeman said: "I didn't."
Wang Suning has.
Ye Man said: "How confident is this? It doesn't matter even if the clothes you wear are shabby. Well, no matter how brightly you wear them, your mood will be bad."
Wang Suning nodded vigorously. What the master said was absolutely right. The more beautiful you wear, the less you feel comfortable.
Wang Ruqian said: "Eating is the first priority. Many people don't have enough to eat. If they are full, everything else seems to be fine."
Cuiyu usually has no shortage of food, so the fried rice cake with green vegetables is very good.
Wang Suning ate fried leeks and dried them: "It's not just about being full. It's about eating too much meat and wanting to be vegetarian."
Li Chongming said: "Leeks usually cost five cents per catty, but now they cost fifty cents per catty."
Liu Cai said: "It's relatively warm here, and greenhouses are easy to do, and Haizhou is also doing well. It's too cold in the north, so it's expensive."
Cuiyu said: "It seems like one or two vegetables and one tael of gold."
Luo Fa was shocked: "It's not that expensive, right?"
Cuiyu said, "It's cold in Yinzhou. Anyway, a plate of bean sprouts costs ten taels of silver." He smiled and said to his master, "I can often eat a small bowl, but it doesn't taste very good."
Versailles! Yeman said: "That's what you're worth."
Cuiyu is embarrassed again. But indeed, it is not because the master is generous, but most of the generosity is worth it to you.
If it's not worth it, how many of them will be generous? So there's no need to be grateful, how wonderful it would be if everyone understands it?
It's really generous of the master to give everyone such food now.
Li Chongming said: "These vegetables survive the winter naturally. On a snowy day like this, it will take at most two days to warm up, and the vegetables will not freeze to death."
Ye Man nodded. These are called Chinese cabbage, udon and the like. They are delicious after being frosted. You can eat them even on snowy days.
Li Chongming said: "This is because it is more expensive during the Chinese New Year, but it is not expensive to buy it at home."
Yeman said: "So we grow some ourselves, and if nothing else, we just want to have fresh food for ourselves during the Chinese New Year."
Everyone was happy.
The master was worried about whether they were eating well one day.
Wang Ruqian said: "It can also be grown in Banqiao Township. It doesn't seem to be difficult. Not only can it be sold to the county town, but it can also be sold here further away."
Liu Cai echoed: "The boat from Banqiao Township is coming. If we hurry up for two days, we can put away the winter vegetables."
Wang Ruqian said: "In the past, when we were poor, we didn't dare to touch anything. They could plant some first because they were used to farming."
You may not be able to do anything else well, but you can probably sell the vegetables you grow.
There are certainly people in Fuzhou, but now there are obviously few people and more people who can afford to eat.
Ye Man said: "If it's like here, if it's grown well and the price goes down, more people will buy some when entertaining guests."
Everyone nodded.
Face, for the sake of face, no matter how much money you have, you can spend it.
What's more, it doesn't cost much money, maybe fifty coins, for example, you can probably afford it.
Anyone who has been in a caravan probably has some business acumen.
Liu Cai said: "Who doesn't have a more important customer? As long as the food is wider, there will be no need to worry about selling the food."
Mr. Cao said: "One catty of leeks costs fifty cents, and one acre of land can yield about two thousand catties, which is one hundred taels of silver."
Liu Cai said: "To build such a big house, although it doesn't need to be very good, it will cost three to five hundred taels of silver, plus other winter costs."
Li Chongming said: "If you can harvest two crops in winter, if you plant well in normal times, you can harvest at least five or six crops. Even if it is cheap, you will not lose money."
Wang Ruqian calculated: "The capital is 500 taels of silver, and the income is 230 taels a year. Subtracting the cost of 30 taels of silver, we can make a profit in three years. If we don't count the house, one acre of land will be enough."
I can earn one hundred taels of silver per year."
It seems like they can grow enough leeks in one acre of land in Fengyang Village.
Of course, leeks are just an example, other vegetables can also be grown.
There are more vegetables in winter. Rich people will not be happy to eat leeks every day.
Green vegetables cost twenty cents a pound, and there were enough people to buy them.
Wang Ruqian said: "I will go back and talk to them."
Li Chongming reminded: "If you want to plant, you must prepare in advance. Now is the time to go out and visit other people's homes. There are still seeds that need to be prepared early and houses have to be built."
Wang Ruqian nodded: "Actually, it's still a matter of five hundred taels of silver at a time."
Everyone knows there is money to be made.
But if I can’t come up with this sum of money, I’ll just think about it.
If you lose money, you won't just lose everything.
