There's a Space Man in the Village [Rebirth]

Chapter 65

After going to the graves of Huo's father, Huo Niang and the original owner, Huo Chengyi finally felt relieved.

The first day after their wedding passed like this. Although they didn't do anything special, for the two who had been in an underground romance for several months, it was the happiest to just go out and walk around holding hands. thing.

During dinner in the evening, Zhou Weibai, who had just arrived at his new home, showed his hand very actively and cooked a table of good dishes.

Not to mention, the young man's embroidery is not good, but his cooking skills are still passable. Everyone praises him for his face, not to mention Huo Chengyi, even if Xiaobai gives him poison, he can eat it very happily.

When he went to bed at night, considering that yesterday's bridal candles had tossed people too much, Huo Chengyi didn't mess around anymore, he could only hug and kiss and eat tofu to satisfy his cravings.

The two stopped after a long while, one started to explain his family background, and the other sorted his dowry.

This is also a custom in the village. Since ancient times, it was basically a matchmaker's word for marriage, and most of the newcomers didn't actually know their target at all.

After getting married, they are husband and wife. No matter whether they are poor or lowly, they will work together. It is natural for both of them to know the situation at home. So naturally, this kind of tacit customs and rules have been formed in the village.

In fact, even if there is no such rule, Huo Chengyi will be frank with Xiaobai. Since they are married together, what kind of marriage is it if they are concealed.

However, Xiaobai knows most of his things, so he doesn't have much to explain. Basically, he will talk about his savings, earning a living, and future plans.

Speaking of savings, Huo Chengyi was actually a little embarrassed. Apart from the Huo family's few acres of farmland, he really didn't have much money on hand.

After paying the wages for the bricklayer who built the fireplace before, and the expenses for this marriage, he currently only has 80 taels left, including the gift money given by Fatty Jiang and others.

80 taels is already a huge sum of money for the villagers, but it is really not enough for Huo Chengyi.

Not to mention other things, it is not enough for him to buy soybeans. The price of soybeans is cheap, but the quantity is too large. The Huangxi Village alone has at least 100,000 kilograms, and his money is not enough.

Huo Chengyi also thought about finding a treasure in the space to sell for money, but he had already brought out a lot of things for the people of the county magistrate before, so it would be too conspicuous and inappropriate to sell the treasure.

That's why he delayed the soybean matter, and told the villagers that the purchase was not a one-time full payment, but a deposit that was paid first, and the bill was settled when it was delivered.

"...I have agreed in the village that each family will pay a deposit of 200 yuan to sign the contract, and wait until the New Year's Eve, when the Chuanchuan store will earn the dividends and fruit wine money, it will be enough to give it back, but I guess it will be enough at that time. It's only enough to collect the soybeans from our village, and if I want to collect the soybeans from the surrounding villages, I'm afraid that the money is not enough."

"If the money is not enough, I still have it here, but Brother Huo, what are you trying to do with so many soybeans? "

Zhou Weibai has always been very supportive of his decision and donated his dowry without hesitation.

This time Huo Chengyi gave a lot of dowry, and Zhou Jiahui also gave a lot of dowry.

He not only returned all the fields, betrothal gifts and betrothal money he gave to Xiaobai, but also added 10 taels of cash, which was a rich dowry in the countryside. Father Zhou took out all the money in order to show his son's face.

However, support returns to support, but he is not very clear about Huo Chengyi's acquisition of soybeans, not only he has doubts, but also everyone in the village.

Zhou Weibai was almost dying of curiosity, "Brother Huo, stop pretending to be mysterious, and tell me why you bought so many soybeans..."

"Want to know? Then you give one to the blind man."

Someone caught Ask for benefits when you get the chance, and point at the smirk on your own lips, not to mention being beaten.

Zhou Weibai knew that he had a temper, so he gave him a blank look when he was angry, and then he obediently hugged his neck and kissed him, urging him in a hurry.

"Hurry up and kick you out of bed immediately!"

"I'll crawl back after the kick." Huo Chengyi smiled and hugged the person before explaining.

"Actually, there is no mystery. I bought soybeans to make soy sauce..."

"Soy sauce? What is soy sauce? Is it as delicious as Chuanchuan?"

Zhou Weibai's eyes lit up when he heard it. He said that the baby he saw not only contained the recipe for skewers, but also many other useful things. He had never heard of soy sauce, so it must be in the baby.

"It can also be said that soy sauce is a kind of condiment. It is used in cooking like salt. The dishes with soy sauce not only taste delicious, but also look better. Besides soy sauce, there are many things that soybeans can do..."

Huo Chengyi He nodded and explained slowly.

He didn't even think of using soybeans to make soy sauce at first. When he first came to this world and entered the kitchen, he found that there was no soy sauce at home.

But at that time, he thought it was just that the Huo family was poor, and when he went to buy things in the town later, he realized that there seemed to be no soy sauce in this world!

Maybe it has appeared in some places, but it has not been popularized. At least he knows about soy sauce from the merchants in Tongniu Town and the north and south of the wharf.

Later, when he saw the flood of soybeans in the village, he really discovered and decided to take this business opportunity.

The biggest consumers in the world are actually not rich people, but countless ordinary people. Once the huge population base is gathered, it is a terrible number.

In addition to soy sauce, there are many things that soybeans can make, such as fermented bean curd, tempeh, bean paste and so on.

Don't look at these are very inconspicuous daily meals, but in this era when most of the poor are still eating stewed and boiled food, and delicate and multi-flavored food can only be enjoyed by the rich and rich, once it is popularized, it will definitely be liked by everyone. of.

Huo Chengyi can brag about Haikou unceremoniously. If this business is done, the descendants of the Huo family for at least seven or eight generations will no longer have to worry about their living and money.

And the practice of these things is just right for him. He grew up in the countryside in modern times, and basically every family can make bean curd and tempeh sauce.

As for soy sauce, it is not difficult. When his grandfather was young, he was an iron rice bowl working in a soy sauce factory. After his parents died, his grandmother raised him by selling soy sauce. This is purely his family's old business.

"...In addition to buying soybeans, I'm going to find some people these days to quickly lay the foundation while the weather is still warm, and then seize the time to build a factory workshop, and start work immediately after the new year when things are ready."

"Specifically I have made a plan. What I lack now is silver. If I want to buy soybeans, it is estimated that it will cost at least a few hundred taels. The factory is going to build bricks and tiles. , in the calculation, at least seven or eight hundred taels have to be prepared, and the money has to be prepared for the New Year."

This is only Huo Chengyi's budget, if something happens in the middle, it is easy to fall into turnover, so the more funds, the better.

After listening to his plan and budget, Zhou Weibai was so shocked that his mouth could swallow an egg, seven or eight hundred taels, how could they have so much money, and the time was so urgent, and now it's more than two months before the new year.

"Brother Huo, can't we postpone the construction of the factory? Let's find an empty house first, so that we can save a lot of money..." It

costs twenty or thirty taels to build a yard of a brick house, although I don't quite understand it. Huo Chengyi mentioned the factory workshop, but if you want to come to the place, it will not be small, so how much will it cost.

"The factory's money must be spent. I have seen all the empty houses in the village. They are all mud-walled thatched huts and fenced yards. The confidentiality and security are too poor. It is not safe to put things inside. Peeping, the place is too small..."

Huo Chengyi didn't really want to spend so much money on the house all of a sudden, but the problem is that the house in the village is really bad, if there is any problem with the house, he will fetch water for everything. drift.

And this time, he doesn't plan to start the business from a small stall again, because there are too many soybeans, and if the raw materials are damaged for too long, they will lose a lot.

However, although there are many problems, he has also carefully considered these issues before he dares to buy soybeans. He does not fight uncertain battles.

"Xiao Bai, in fact, I have already thought of a solution for silver, but I don't know if you would like to go out with me. I don't worry about leaving you at home alone..." "

Going out? Where are you going?"

The farthest place I've passed is probably Tongniu Town, and Zhou Weibai is similar. The farthest road I've traveled so far is to move from Bandit Mountain to Huangxi Village. Don't talk about other places, many have never even heard of it.

When he heard Huo Chengyi say he was going to go far, he was still a little nervous.

But Huo Chengyi was already prepared, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Border, see if your grandfather will go?"

If he wants to do business, he must have an adventurous spirit. He is going to take a risk on the border. If it is unsuccessful, the border personnel will be complicated, and businessmen from various countries will come and go frequently. difficulty.

But he didn't want to go alone, he wanted to bring Xiaobai with him.

When they were newly married, Yan'er was really reluctant to separate; secondly, they also took Xiaobai out to meet the world. He didn't want to socialize outside by himself in the future. Xiaobai was waiting for him at home, worrying about this and that.

But Xiaobai had never been to far away when he was so old, and it was normal to be uneasy, so he had to put a bait to hook his little husband.

Grandpa Zhou is the best bait.

Zhou Weibai nodded happily almost as soon as he heard it.

"Go, I'll go, I'll go! Will you take my mother with you? Mother, she misses her grandfather and uncles..."

It has been almost ten years since Grandpa Zhou was exiled to the border. The journey is very difficult and arduous.

Xiaobai and his mother have wanted to see people for a long time, but they can't find the time.

It would be a good thing if he could visit the border once and see Anhao with his own eyes, so he did not forget his mother, Zhou Dahua had missed his father and brothers for a long time.

However, this is a two-person trip with my daughter-in-law, and it is too annoying to bring a light bulb as big as my mother-in-law.

So Huo Chengyi said very ruthlessly that he must refuse, and hurriedly fooled.

"Don't mother still have to take care of father? What if she leaves and father is alone at home? The journey is long and your mother can't bear to toss. Your grandfather and their service time should be over soon, and they will be reunited when they come back, no hurry. At this moment..."

"Yes, that's fine. But can we go to the border? We only have more than one hundred taels in hand now. Brother Huo, didn't you say that the soybean workshop should prepare seven or eight hundred taels? How can we make so much money?"

Zhou Weibai thought about it too, and successfully put his man in again.

"It's not easy to make money, but I will teach you a trick with empty gloves and white wolf."

Huo Chengyi laughed, rolled over and rolled into the quilt with a man in his arms, stretched out his hand and continued to nibble on tofu.
