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

"Father, this is the deal we agreed on with Shopkeeper Xu at Shizhen Pavilion today. This is the contract guaranteed by Uncle Yu Qi." Qing Ning recounted what happened in the morning and took out the contract and handed it to Father Chen.

"The girl is so young and she's already thinking about making money and doing business. This father is worse than the child." Chen Changjiang was both excited and sad.

"Keep this contract for yourself. Now that we have decided how to supply the goods, what are your thoughts next?" Father Chen had never done business before. He felt that although his daughter was young, she was smart, so he would do whatever she said.

The little man sat there with a serious look on his face.

"This is what I think. Since we want to have a long-term cooperation, the source of goods must be fixed. Otherwise, if the supply is insufficient, it will be considered as a breach of contract and we will have to pay liquidated damages." Doing business is risky. She has to make these things clear. Otherwise, if it is just wishful thinking, this business will not last long.

"That's true, but how can we secure the supply? Even if our whole family goes out to pick them, we can't get much." Father Chen agreed with Qing Ning's words, but he was also a little worried.

"We can collect mushrooms and let the villagers pick them and sell them to us." Qingyu said from the side.

"Brother Yu has a good idea, but how do we collect the money? How much should we collect?" Li thought that it was a good idea to collect mushrooms from the villagers. It could not only ensure the supply but also allow the villagers to have an income. The villagers should all be willing to do so.

The others also felt that this was the right way.

"Well, Brother Qingyu's idea is good. We will teach the villagers how to find and pick mushrooms, and then sell them to us. We charge 20 wen per jin. Fresh mushrooms account for the weight, but they shrink a lot after drying, so I think this price should be acceptable."

"Yes, my little sister is right. Although the price we ordered from the restaurant is high, the difference in quantity is too big, and the labor and firewood also need to be calculated. Besides, twenty cents per catty is not a low price." The eldest sister Qingke had no objection.

"It takes ten pounds of fresh bamboo fungus to get one pound of dried goods, and about seven pounds of shiitake mushrooms and black fungus to get one pound. We also have to take various costs into account. Twenty cents a pound is okay for me." Second brother Qingyu made a rough calculation.

Qing Ning's eyes lit up when she heard what her second brother said. Her second brother is really capable and good at planning.

"If you think it's okay, we have no objection." Chen Afu and the other adults also thought about it and had no objection.

"Actually, I have another idea. Although collecting mushrooms can solve some problems, it is not the safest way after all. So, I want to try to cultivate the mushrooms myself to ensure that there will be no failure." When everyone heard that Qing Ning wanted to cultivate the mushrooms himself, they were all incredible.

"Can this fungus be cultivated?" Old Mrs. Chen asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have seen it and learned a little bit." Qing Ning no longer has any psychological burden about it.

Everyone just thought that the child had dreamed of gods when he was sick before, so they didn't ask any more questions.

"Someone needs to clean up the large amount of mushrooms we collect, and the drying oven is not enough, so we need to build a new one." Qing Ning said again.

"Then I will quit my job at the man's house and set up a workshop at home," said Chen's father.

"Father, you are still going to work. It is not easy to give up this job in the family of the rich man. Besides, it is not as simple as building a factory. This is our family's long-term business. We should build a workshop." Qing Ning expressed the idea of ​​building a workshop, and everyone was shocked again. Building a workshop!

"How much money will it cost to build a workshop? And where should we build it? We don't have enough land." Tan suddenly spoke up. She had been listening to her daughter talking about business.

"Buy land and build a workshop" caused a huge uproar, and Qingning's successive decisions made the family unable to calm down.

"Buy land? Lianpeng, have you thought about it? We don't have enough money." Old Mrs. Chen didn't want to discourage her child, but that was the reality.

The others agreed when they heard this. Buying land, building a workshop, and collecting mushrooms are all huge amounts of money.

"We can buy the land, or the sloping land near the mountain at the end of the village, which will definitely be cheaper. We won't build a big workshop yet. We will plan the place and focus on one business first. The main things are the baking ovens and the mushroom house, which don't require too much. The money from collecting mushrooms should be enough to cover the next income." Qing Ning had already calculated in her mind. The money collected today was enough to use immediately. She couldn't just sit back and wait for the money to make a profit. Of course, there were other ways to make money.

Everyone felt relieved after listening to her confident plan.

"Well, everyone should take out all your money and count it together. I will keep it and you can withdraw money from me when you need it." Old Mrs. Chen has spoken, and the whole family must think in the same direction.

At once, everyone returned to their rooms, took out their belongings, and scraped together some more, totaling thirty to fifty taels.

"Father, go talk to the village chief about buying land and collecting mushrooms. With him in charge, the villagers will be more trustworthy and more obedient."

"Okay, I'll go now." Father Chen couldn't sit still any longer, so he responded and walked out.

"It's raining outside now, so you should wear a hat to avoid getting wet." Tan stood up, took the hat and handed it to Father Chen. Father Chen took it, put it on, turned around and walked into the night rain.

"Grandma, Auntie, Mom, brothers and sisters, this business has already started, and we need to come up with a charter for how to distribute the profits in the future."

As soon as Qing Ning finished speaking, Aunt Li immediately continued, "Lian Peng, if Aunt Li doesn't want it, just do as the boss does and give Aunt Li a monthly salary. It won't be considered as my work in vain."

"Yes, just pay us a monthly salary." Everyone agreed, mainly because the idea was from Qingning and the business was negotiated by Qingning. They just helped out, so they felt that they didn't need to consider their share of the profits.

"Alas, that's not how you say it. We are a family. Although I started it, how can I make this business alone? If I make a lot of money and only give you a little monthly salary, will you be satisfied? If we lose money, it's everyone's money that's lost, and you don't care? Besides, we have put out all our assets now, and you are so confident that you can let a child like me spend it?" Qing Ning tilted her head and looked at them.

After hearing this, everyone hesitated. Yes, they are excited now and keep thinking about making money, but what if they lose money? Will they blame Qing Ning? If they really make a lot of money, will they feel unbalanced?

Qing Ning saw the crowd's reaction and thought it was normal. How many people truly despised money? Farmers like the Chen family were still struggling to make ends meet, and their concept of wealth was still very limited. Therefore, in order to avoid future family feuds over these yellow and white things, the purpose of making money was lost.

"Listen to me, everyone. I know everyone's reluctant to take more than they deserve out of family affection, and they also feel that since it was my idea and the deal, I should get more. But since everyone is contributing everything, naturally we should share the profits and losses. Do you agree?" Seeing everyone nod, he continued, "Since ancient times, many people have turned against each other over money. So since we're doing this business together, it's natural to put our own interests first and discuss it openly. Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. Only with this can we work together and achieve greater success."

"Qingning is right, I agree. Saying all this in advance is also for our own good." Qingsong said seriously.

No one objected, and Old Lady Chen let Qing Ning make the decision.
