To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 196 It’s Not Easy to Be the Richest Man in Ming Dynasty 8
This time, the Shen family collected 190,000 kilograms of grain as rent and paid 39,000 kilograms of agricultural taxes.
Shen Fu was not planning to sell the grain. 630 taels of silver was not enough for him to make rice wine, and the price would be more than doubled!
Wine lees are good feed for raising pigs and can also generate a lot of money. With Shen Fu's smart mind, it's hard for him not to get rich.
Almost every family in the Jiangnan region can make rice wine, so the Shen family has many more wine jars and the cellar has been cleaned out. The Shen family's big pot is also used to steam rice day and night, and the family is busy mixing the wine yeast and so on.
The entire cellar was emptied to hold the wine vats. The family was so tired that they could fall asleep as soon as they touched their pillows at night. All the usual jealousies and trivial matters disappeared.
Shen Yujin felt that this was all due to being bored from eating too much, and now it would be fine if he started to get busy.
What really surprised Shen Yujin was the Shen family's treasure bowl. With the nourishment of the spiritual stone, this treasure finally restored its original appearance. The black jade bowl was shining, and the breath of ancient times was overwhelming.
This is a true ancient treasure. Its most basic function is to turn less into more. As long as there is enough spiritual energy, it can be a treasure for alchemy!
In the fairy world, good alchemists are also the objects that all major sects are vying to recruit. This top-grade alchemy furnace is the biggest gain of this trip.
Moreover, the spirit sleeping in the alchemy furnace has also awakened. What a concept! As long as you are not too useless, you can live a good life in the upper realm with this set of equipment.
After making a covenant with the spirit of the weapon, Shen Yujin walked out of the room with a book. Old Master Shen Fu was making a big promise: "Today, the housekeeper went to the city to buy eight pig's trotters. Aunt Zhang has been simmering them over a low fire for a whole day. I guarantee that the meat will be tender and the bones will be crispy.
Our Shen family's pig's trotters are famous far and wide. If you hurry up and make this wine and sell it, we can eat pig's trotters every meal!
It sizzles and smells so good when you take a bite of it!"
When everyone heard about the big pancake that the old man was going to eat, they felt even hungrier. At least they had some money from selling the wine.
Shen Fu was not worried about his family's strength. The emperor only took away a part of it this time, and no hard currency was lost.
Given time, the Shen family will surely make a comeback. While everyone was busy and sweating, Shen Wang returned from Jiaxing, and the escort agency brought back 60 breeding pigs.
The Shen family was busy again, arranging the pigs into the pen, feeding them and giving them water.
Shen Fu looked at the boar with shiny fur and nodded involuntarily: "The second one is much more stable now!"
Shen Wang took the tea and gulped it down. "Dad was lucky. He collected these breeding pigs from several places."
Let's feed them well, and once they give birth to piglets, we'll be done."
Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Shen Wang took out the remaining silver in his bag and announced the accounts of each family from the money from selling jewelry. Soon, he sorted out the whole mess clearly.
At this time, the meal was ready in the kitchen, and the whole Shen family went to the big kitchen to eat.
There was a huge pig's trotter on each table, and a pot of freshly harvested chicken greens stir-fried in broth.
The simple meals were very attractive. There was a large bowl of white rice for everyone to eat as much as they wanted. Everyone picked up their whirlwind chopsticks and rushed to eat the pig's trotters.
It was swept away like a whirlwind, and soon only a bare bone was left lying there.
Even the soup is used to mix with rice, and it is so delicious when poured with chicken greens.
This is because the Shen family has a lot of money, otherwise, ordinary country landlords living like this would be laughed at.
In the countryside, no one would be willing to eat meat unless it is a festival. People only cook greasy meals when they are tired from planting in spring and harvesting in autumn.
The purpose of the rural landlords is to buy land after making money! Land is the only thing that matters. Eating is a good thing, but it is not a good thing. Spending so much money is just a waste of money.
Shen Fu just wanted to educate his grandsons, not to let the children go hungry every day in the future. If children do not eat well when they are growing up, it will harm their health.
The ancestors of the Shen family fled from the north to the south of the Yangtze River. They are all tall and strong. As the saying goes, if you are tall, you will look good in any clothes when you stand in front of the door.
Shen Fuke didn't want his children to be hungry and not grow tall, so the Shen family's meals have been adjusted in the past two days under the pretext of being tired from work, and there is meat and fish for every meal.
I don’t know why, but the child who used to need to see a doctor all the time is now much stronger and no longer like a sickly sick child.
I couldn't eat much, and I didn't feel any better even though I took ginseng and bird's nest every day. Now I'm back in the countryside and I'm rushing to eat, and my health is getting better day by day.
Shen Fu felt that this was a disease of affluence, and that it would be beneficial for more people to do more work.
In the past, Aunt Ruan relied on Shen Fu's favor to establish her power in the harem. Now that the Shen family has fallen on hard times, this woman has developed other ideas.
Aunt Ruan was the top courtesan that Shen Fu bought from a brothel for two thousand taels of silver. She was usually very good at dealing with people and was very much favored by Shen Fu.
Shen Fu's wife had been gone for many years, and the most favored person in the harem was Concubine Ruan. She had also saved some money over the years and had originally thought that she could enjoy a lifetime of wealth in the Shen family.
Who would have thought that the Shen family would fall into decline so quickly? Aunt Ruan scoffed at things like weaving, raising pigs and brewing wine. Is she going to waste her whole life in the countryside?
I'm still young, not even thirty, and I don't even have any children. When will this end?
But I was completely in the dark in this rural area and didn't know anyone. What could I do? I didn't even have anyone to help me escape!
The past two months that Aunt Ruan had spent in the countryside had been like years, and Shen Fu was in no mood to mess around with her. She spent her days painting her eyebrows and eyes, dressing herself up and just hanging out with the other people working.
One day, when Aunt Ruan saw the peddler selling goods, she felt that he looked so familiar. Suddenly, Aunt Ruan remembered that this was the patron Sun Daguanren whom she met in Ruyi Tower!
Aunt Ruan went to Sun San to buy a bunch of silk thread in a graceful manner. Sun San had already recognized the courtesan of Ruyi Tower. At this time, many aunts came to buy things. Sun San winked at Aunt Ruan and left in a hurry.
Aunt Ruan's heart was pounding when she returned home. Mr. Sun used to be a wealthy man and a scout of Qingfeng Village.
A lot of money was spent on her in the past few years. If she became the concubine of the leader of Qingfeng Village, the Shen family, who is now in dire straits, would not dare to cause trouble for her.
Maybe I can even get all the money the old man brought out into my own hands.
Aunt Ruan was not in the mood to work in the afternoon. She helped pick vegetables in the kitchen and pulled a bunch of green onions until only one piece was left.
Aunt Liu, who also helped in the kitchen, was very intolerant and often fought with Aunt Ruan.
Aunt Liu has a son and a daughter, and her back is much stronger than Aunt Ruan. Seeing Aunt Ruan like that, she couldn't help but mock her: "You still think you are the top courtesan who has never touched women? You pinched this onion and there is only this little left! The whole family, young and old, will not eat? Who are you trying to show off to every day!"
