Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

The autumn is getting deeper, the wind has penetrated into the bones, the yellow leaves are falling, the frost has ended, and the shadows are fading.

As soon as late autumn comes, the temperature drops sharply, the work in the fields is done, and every household has some free time.

The harvest was good this year, and we all made some money. We didn't have to go out to make a living as we did in previous years, right after the harvest season.

The Chinese New Year is just two months away, and it is a rare opportunity for the people of Chenjia Village to have a relaxing New Year's Eve.

The Chen family’s house had not yet been built, but the workshop business had boomed again.

After several months, Xu Minglang returned to Ruyi County. The first thing he did when he came back was to go straight to the Chen family.

Before Qing Ning and the others entered the house, Xu Minglang heard the sound and hurried out to greet them.

"Oh, my Qing Ning, I miss Uncle Xu so much. Have you missed me for so long?"

Several people were at a loss for what to do with this sudden enthusiasm. Xu Minglang didn't care and just walked in with Qing Ning in his arms, muttering to himself.

As soon as they sat down, Xu Minglang said quickly, "You don't know, these goods sell out so fast once they're put on the shelves."

Anyone with eyesight could see how excited he was.

"I only visited a few large businesses along the way, and they were completely swept away. If I hadn't divided the items up in advance, they would have been gone before we even got to the capital. These things were originally sold out a long time ago, but I went home because it was close to the Moon Festival, so I didn't come back until now. As soon as I got back, I came here immediately."

After saying that, he took out the account book and let them take a closer look.

"Look at the account book."

Qing Ning took it and flipped through it. At first, she thought she had read it wrong, so she checked it carefully again. Then she looked at Xu Minglang in disbelief.

"Uncle Xu, this account book isn't fake, right?"

Xu Minglang glanced at her sideways and said with a pout, "Even if it's fake, they would have exaggerated it, not written it in an exaggerated way."

Qingyu and the others were also curious and took the account book to take a closer look.

Several people watched and inhaled, looking at Xu Minglang with suspicion.

Xu Minglang said, "This is true. These are the first of their kind in the Great Xia Kingdom. Not only among the common people, but even in the imperial city, there are none."

As he spoke, he leaned forward mysteriously, and several people came over carefully.

"Guess how much profit I made on these things?"

"How many?"

Xu Minglang's eyes moved around several people's faces, making them anxious and urging him to hurry up, before he slowly said, "Twenty."

"what?"

"twenty?"

Several people shouted almost in unison, and Xu Minglang asked them to stay calm.

"Even twenty seems too low to me. Your things are so well made and novel, whether it's food or toys, they're all firsts, so of course they're willing to buy them."

Suddenly he said mysteriously, "Not only that, but you know what? I sent several copies of various things to the palace."

It was as if they were listening to a foreign language, and language seemed too powerless at this moment.

Xu Minglang waved his hand and asked the servant to bring a small box over and put it on the table. He pointed and said, "Qing Ning, come here and count the money."

Several people were so shocked by the box that they almost lost their souls and dared not move for a while.

"Stop being dazed and come count the money. If you don't count it and there's any missing money after I leave, I won't be responsible." Xu Minglang laughed a little when he saw the group of children like this, but they were so cute.

Qing Ning was a man who had seen a lot of money before, and had at least seen the world of a thousand taels. But now, looking at the money box, he was completely stunned and felt it was a little unreal.

Only after Xu Minglang urged him several times did he bring the money box over and open it.

[I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it anymore, oh my god! So much money? I’ve never seen this in my entire life! Am I rich? I’m rich! Hahaha~]

He was so excited that his eyes were red. The people around him were not much better.

"Uncle Xu, how much money is here?" Qing Ning's voice was floating.

"There are seven thousand taels in total. Since your interest is not a round number, I put a little more in to make it round."

Qing Ning looked at the cash box stupidly, then at Xu Minglang, and smiled widely: "Hey, thank you, Uncle Xu, I won't be polite. I won't count this money either, I can definitely trust it."

After putting away the cash box and account book, he sat down and asked, "Uncle Xu, if you come back now, will you be able to go home for the New Year?"

"This isn't our first collaboration, so naturally I had to come back in person to tell you the good news. Besides, there are still two months until the Chinese New Year, and I'm thinking of bringing another batch to the capital."

"Uncle Xu, do you have any ideas? Which goods are in high demand?"

Xu Minglang: "I need to bring more Kit Kat toys and twice as much food as before."

"Toys are fine, Uncle San and the others have made quite a few these days. As for food, I'm afraid we won't be able to get too many pickled snacks. Dry goods are fine, but the number of snacks and candies will remain the same as before."

"Why?"

Qing Ning said, "The end of the year is approaching, and we have a lot of etiquette to pay for here. The Xue family's grandmother and her family are also going back to the capital, and they have placed a lot of orders. There are also the second brother of the Meng family and his family. And the eldest brother of the Guo family is getting married in February next year, and he has placed too many orders with us. The workshop has been very busy recently."

Xu Minglang was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he changed his mind and let it go. He just said, "Well, give me a number."

"Okay, let my eldest sister calculate the amount later and then let her tell you, okay?"

"Row."

"By the way, Uncle Xu is having dinner here today. I made some fresh food for you to try."

Xu Minglang had no objection and happily agreed.

"By the way, I saw a lot of interesting things along the way. I brought some for you and have had them moved into the house. You can take a look at them later to see if you like them."

Several people thanked him happily, and then let him walk around the village by himself while they went about their business.

After the meal, they agreed on the quantity and delivery time of the items. Xu Minglang did not stay long, but before leaving he said that several boys and girls in his family would also come to study in the spring of next year, and in case there were any changes, he paid the tuition fees in advance.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Madam Xue, Meng Er and others had also set a date for their return journey. Qing Ning and others found an embroiderer in the town and asked her to sew a lot of rabbit leather hand guards, headbands, knee pads and other items.

The rabbits' reproductive capacity was quite impressive, and Xu Jing and his companions carefully fed them, though they ate quickly. The rabbit fur was always carefully preserved and sent to the county town for tanning, so over time, a considerable amount had been saved.

Several people thought about so many things and made some for the elders in the family. They also thought about the elders of the Guo family, the Yu family, the Meng family, and the Xue family, which would just be enough.

During the period of preparing the New Year gifts, both families were truly worried. There were so many people and the quantity was so great that they couldn't favor one over another, nor could they be perfunctory and seem indifferent, nor could they be too ostentatious and seem fawning. Furthermore, they didn't have the financial resources.

The family had to choose a day to put up the beams of the newly built house, and they had to take care of the furniture and flowers and trees everywhere. Both families were busy.
