Chapter 315 Green vegetables sprout
The weather gradually became colder. In the blink of an eye, it seemed that autumn had passed. I don’t know when I looked up and found that the dead leaves on the branches had already fallen.
In Chang'an City, a carriage of cars were beginning to be seen sending coal into the mansions and courtyards.
Since last winter, a new type of utensil for heating emerged in Chang'an City.
It is said that with this new type of heating utensil, it can make the house feel like spring is coming, which is much better than a charcoal basin.
Moreover, there is no charcoal sour smell that the charcoal basin is. Even if people crawl on it and sleep, they are not afraid of being poisoned by charcoal. This kind of rumor spread in Chang'an City, and Wei Renshi is naturally happy about it.
When winter passed last year, this kind of thing was already found in the nobles and wealthy merchants in Chang'an City.
Later, coal-burning stoves began to appear in the kitchens of those large food and restaurants, but the structure was different, and the coal fire burned inside was bigger and more fierce.
Therefore, by this year, when people see honeycomb coal appearing on the streets, they will no longer make a fuss and become very novel.
A piece of land from the eldest brother has been opened in the coal yard in Weinan County. A wooden shelf is built on it. There are straw mats woven on the wooden shelf. On sunny days, the straw mats on the entire shelf can be rolled up and put them on one side, so that the sun can fall. When it is cloudy, the straw mats are pushed away again and become the roof, which is very convenient.
Below is a piece of honeycomb coal.
Nowadays, there are far from enough people to mobilize coal in the coal yard. Lin Sumian, who is managing the coal yard, has to hire forty or fifty people from the farm to mobilize coal.
Even so, coupled with the year-long reserves, the honeycomb coal in Chang'an City is still in short supply. We can always see many wealthy housekeepers arrive at the coal yard early in the morning and wait to take away the honeycomb coal first.
The popularity of honeycomb coal has suddenly increased a lot this year after last year's trial and rendering, and has increased several times.
It seems that there are quite a lot of rich people in Chang'an City.
Although Lin Sumian was so busy that he was still so happy that he couldn't stop. He felt that he had such a good idea when investing in the coal yard!
The shopkeeper greeted his own business, and he came to greet the coal yard. It was precisely because the profit of the coal yard was too much more than his own business.
Due to the shortage of supply of honeycomb coal, thanks to this, the profit from honeycomb coal is more than that of coal stoves. After all, the coal stove can be managed for a long time after buying it. It will be used up next year after using it this year. However, if you burn a piece of honeycomb coal, you will have to burn a piece of honeycomb coal. The more you burn, the warmer the room will be.
After enjoying the warmth of the house, who is willing to let his house return to the cold, the sales of this honeycomb coal exceeds that of the coal stove itself.
The honeycomb coal was pulled from the coal yard in Weinan to Chang'an City, and the copper coins were collected in strings of Wei Renshi and others' warehouses in the mansions.
With money, Wei Renshi can do many things.
For example, the previous semicircular sheds suddenly had dozens of them, with a thick layer of straw mat on them. Looking from a distance, dozens of neat greenhouses looked particularly spectacular.
As for what is inside, everyone in the farm knows that everything planted there is no seasonal vegetable and fruit.
The owner of Zhuangzi, the young young man, once boasted about Haikou in front of the farmers in Zhuangzi, saying that he would use those large sheds to teach farmers farming.
At that time, the farmers felt that it was novel and tight.
These farmers had the strength to start and started farming in the fields, especially the old farmers in the village. If they talked about the Four Books and Five Classics, they would not know any of them, but if they talked about the stuttering in the fields, no one could compare to them.
But now, there is a doll in her teens who want to teach them how to farm!
This is a joke.
There are also many old farmers who are kind-hearted, thinking that this is the owner of the farm. The young master's family is young and fun. It is a fun thing to build these big sheds to farm. For this reason, they persuaded Wei Renshi, saying that the young master is good at treating the farmers on weekdays, so the servants at home smile all day long and dare not bully these sufferings. The farmers are grateful for their kindness and come to persuade the young master not to play with this.
If the magistrate knew that he had made these greenhouses and could not grow anything when the weather was cold, he would plant them inside, and he would definitely be punished for disrespecting the farming and sericulture!
These people don’t know that the magistrate in their eyes was the most powerful magistrate. In front of Wei Renshi, as long as Wei Renshi didn’t speak, he could only be the Sesame Official who kept bowing.
Although Wei Renshi found it funny, he also thanked these old and businessmen for their reminders.
Although they seem ignorant in front of Wei Renshi, a kind heart cannot be let down.
Wei Renshi asked someone to take copper coins and give them a gift, and then took the pastries and food from the mansion to let them take them back for their families to try. However, the plan for the vegetable greenhouse was not shaken at all.
Now, the weather is cold and everything is withered and yellow.
The farmers in the farm who claimed to be good at farming were surprised to find that a shallow layer of green seedlings began to reveal in those sheds!
This is really amazing!
The autumn wind is bleak, and the weather is getting cooler. It should be the time when all things are dormant. But these green vegetables, fruits and vegetables that are only available in spring and summer actually grow?!
"The green vegetables have begun to sprout. This winter, Weinan will definitely attract many Chang'an people. It's time for you to start entering the market." Wei Renshi said to a large number of farmers in front of him: "In the past six months, I have asked the chefs of my family to teach you what you have learned. Each family is different, so there is no conflict. Whether the Weinan market can be done for a long time depends on this winter. I will try my best to attract the people in Chang'an City, but whether they can come again and again in the future, but it is for you. If you want to get rich and live a good life without worrying about food and clothing, I hope you will remember the rules in the market, treat people well and be warm, and never cheat one. The most important thing is that. Otherwise, you will also deal with it according to the rules and will never tolerate it. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Everyone shouted in unison, their faces full of joy.
Wei Renshi taught them different snacks and delicacies, and took the time to teach them some games and so on. He even rented the stalls in these markets to them because he was afraid that they would not be able to pay for the money, so he decided to start taking a portion of their monthly turnover from their monthly turnover as the rent for the stalls after three months.
