After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

"Li Zheng, everyone is fine, there are no internal injuries. I asked Doctor Lin to help check it out, and Doctor Lin gave me some medicinal wine."

"Send some charcoal to Doctor Lin tomorrow. The grandfather and grandson won't need much, so there's no need to buy more." The head of the village was grateful for Doctor Lin's care.

Boss Ye agreed and thought about sending over 100 kilograms first.

"Grandpa Lizheng, there is one more thing. I think it is not appropriate to make enemies with these people. They are hooligans and it is easy for them to cause trouble for us."

"That's right. We're not usually in the city. If he goes to the restaurant where we deliver coal to look for trouble, they won't be willing to take our coal."

"I thought about selling them some of the products and letting them find customers themselves. This will not only save us from trouble, but also protect our reputation."

Ye Qing told the village chief about his plan, and the village chief stroked his beard and listened carefully.

"Qingya, I agree with this method. If you make less money per pound and sell more, you can make back the money."

"We give them how much per pound."

Ye Lizheng calculated carefully, and then asked the accountant about the cost before setting the price. "Twelve cents per pound. If they pull the goods themselves, the price they sell outside will be higher than the price we set for the restaurant."

After hearing this, Ye Qing understood that the charcoal sold outside was cheaper, so restaurants went to them to buy charcoal.

"Grandpa Lizheng, we need to open two more charcoal kilns. The current output may not be able to keep up."

"Village head, the weather is getting colder now, and people in the city have started to burn charcoal at home. It's a good time for business."

The head of the village thought of this and said, "Let your Uncle Ye Fang arrange it tomorrow. Wen Ning, don't look for new customers. Leave a few people to help burn charcoal."

After discussing for a while, Ye Qing yawned and followed Boss Ye back. This day was too thrilling, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Ye Qing slept until he woke up naturally the next day. When he got up, the house was quiet. Li and Zhou were not at home.

Ye Qing washed up, went to the kitchen to have breakfast, and then went to the charcoal kiln.

"Qingya, I heard everything. You guys were awesome yesterday. The village head said he'll give you a reward." Ye Zhu said with a bit of envy.

"There's nothing we can do. We have to try our best. We can't let the villagers down." Ye Qing didn't expect the news to spread.

"That group of people came this morning and took away three carts. They said they would come back if the sales were good."

"Nothing unexpected happened, right?" Ye Qing was a little worried.

"No, they were very polite. They said a lot of nice things. We helped them load the truck and put it on the bill for them."

Ye Qing felt relieved and took another walk around the mountain. Most of the people in the village were on the mountain, and the sounds of talking and chatting were everywhere.

On the way back, Ye Qing met Uncle Sun, who was walking up the mountain carrying a load of tofu.

"Qingya, you're home. Your grandma just came back and bought a fish. She said she'd cook it for dinner."

"Uncle, how much tofu do you deliver to the mountain every day? Come to my house with aunt to eat in the evening. Grandma's fish is the most delicious."

"That's all we'll give you. Everyone likes to eat them. We'll take the rest to the city and sell them. We won't go there in the evening. Your aunt also bought a fish and sent one to your brother and his family."

The two chatted for a while and then went about their business. The tofu made by the Sun family was better than the tofu sold in the city, and many vegetable shops had bought the tofu from the Sun family for sale.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they met Wei Jia and Wei Xin who were there to buy charcoal. They planned to ask someone where to buy charcoal.

"Sister Xin, now that you are here, I will take you to buy charcoal."

Wei Jia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Qing. The brother and sister had already walked around twice but hadn't seen any charcoal anywhere.

"Sister Ye Qing, what is the current price of charcoal?" Wei Xin looked at Ye Qing before asking.

"Sister Xin, broken charcoal is ten cents a pound, and good charcoal is eighteen cents a pound." Ye Qing quoted the price for loose sales.

Wei Jia and his sister followed Ye Qing to the charcoal shed in the village. On the way, Wei Xin intentionally or unintentionally inquired about the situation of the Ye family, especially the matter of Ye Chenjing and others attending private school.

Ye Qing didn't think much about it. He told the location and situation of the private school and praised the teacher several times, saying that the teacher was very responsible to his students.

The three of them arrived at the place while talking, and the brother and sister chose broken charcoal. Broken charcoal just looks ugly, but it is still the same to use.

The two men returned staggeringly, carrying 80 kilograms of charcoal on their backs. This was enough for them to burn for half a month.

In the afternoon, Boss Ye came back with Liu Bao and others. They had sold all three carts of charcoal and earned a few taels of silver. They became even more enthusiastic about selling charcoal.

In the morning they would bring the charcoal back and place it directly in the alley. When the residents in the alley heard the shouting, they would come out to buy charcoal.

Winter in the south is very cold and damp, so you still need to burn a charcoal basin in the house. Especially if you have children, your clothes will get dirty quickly and you need to wash them frequently. Without a charcoal basin, they will take several days to dry.

Liu Bao left a few people to continue hawking, and asked them to come first to pull the charcoal, so as to sell more while it was not snowing and the road was easier to travel.

"Ye Li Zheng, this is the money for the three carts of coal I received this morning. I want three more carts and they will be taken away immediately." Liu Bao gave the money he had just received to the Li Zheng.

"Young man, we agreed that you have to pay first before you get the goods." The head of the village followed the rules.

Liu Bao lost his hope and took out some money from his purse and gave it to the head of the village. This was the money that all the brothers had collected, plus what he had earned today, to barely make up the difference.

Ye Lizheng collected the money and asked the villagers to help load the cart. Liu Bao and his companions did not rest and pushed the cart away.

Ye Lizheng handed the money to the accountant and continued to look at the newly dug charcoal kiln with his hands behind his back.

Ye Qing came down from the mountain and went home to check on the chickens and ducks. The weather was cold, and the chickens and ducks were not laying eggs as diligently, only laying one egg every two or three days.

The Ye family started delivering eggs to the city once every ten days, and the eggs would not go bad even in cold weather.

In the evening, Boss Ye came back with his men. After Ye Qing waited for Boss Ye to finish his meal, he pulled his sleeve and asked about Liu Bao.

"Qingya, Liu Bao and his men look ferocious, but they are completely different when doing business. They are sweet-mouthed, hardworking, and can coax people."

"Dad, you followed them to sell charcoal."

"They followed us to deliver charcoal to two families before they started selling charcoal. They also learned from us how to unload charcoal and clean up. In the past, people in the city had to take charcoal home by themselves. Now that charcoal is delivered to their homes, everyone is willing to buy it. I regret not doing it myself."

"Dad, we are unfamiliar with the city. We need to find out the place before selling. It is better to sell it directly to Liu Bao and his men in large quantities. It is more convenient and profitable."

Boss Ye thought about it and it was the same. When he went to report the accounts today, the head of the village said that he had received a few more taels of silver than yesterday.

The Liu Bao brothers divided into three groups to sell charcoal. Their business became better and better. The number of charcoal trucks increased from three to five, and sometimes they came twice a day.

The head of the village smiled more and more, and every time they came, they brought money.
