Chapter 17: Lack of money

Seeing Li Hao's depressed appearance, the Jin family couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to comfort: "Young master, is he distressed about money?" ”

"Can you not feel distressed, more than eight hundred times......" Li Hao continued to wail.

Du Hong also realized that Li Hao was a miser, but he didn't think that he had done anything wrong, because this house was supposed to be repaired, and if such a large house was repaired, it would naturally cost a lot of money.

He thought that Li Hao was a local tyrant and had money, because Li Hao threw away a thousand yuan to him when he was leaving, can he be so generous without a net worth of tens of thousands of yuan, and Li Hao also said at the time: "It's not bad money." ”

In fact, it was Li Hao pretending to be forced, in front of the domestic servant, it was still necessary for the head of the house to pretend occasionally, but he pretended to be too much, and Du Hong almost didn't spend all his money.

"Duhong." Li Hao shouted with drooping eyelids.

"The old slave is here." Du Hong bowed in response.

Li Hao said in despair: "Actually, you are really not a housekeeper. ”

Du Hong: ......

Du Hong's housekeeper position was actually kept, Li Hao was so sad at the time, he was addicted to it, and he made himself feel better, in fact, where could he find a more suitable housekeeper candidate, fortunately, Du Hong's subordinates were merciful and left him more than 100 times, Du Hong finally knew that Li Hao was actually not a local tyrant, his entire net worth was only 1,000 yuan, Du Hong was so remorseful, and took the initiative to admit his mistake to Li Hao.

Li Hao is still very lucky, fortunately he didn't buy dozens of servants, and only hired a porter, called Wang San, otherwise he would have declared bankruptcy directly as soon as he entered the new mansion.

Li Hao gradually put away his sadness and settled in this house.

That night, he opened the first bag given to him by Zhiyuan Zhenren in his room, and there was a small folded note in the bag, and when he opened it, there was a line of words written on it: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!" ”

Li Hao was silent for a long time after reading it, slowly closed the note, and chanted softly several times to fully understand the meaning of Zhiyuan Zhenren, Zhiyuan Zhenren asked him to first make up for the development of the knife safely, and slowly fight monsters to brush up experience, don't be too sharp to attract the suspicion of those bigwigs in the court, and shoot the first bird.

I have to say that Zhiyuan Zhenren's advice is definitely not superfluous, Li Hao can imagine that he is only fourteen years old this year, if he enters the court too early, with his own ability, I am afraid that in a few years, Li Shimin will not have any official position to seal him, when the time comes, hehe, not to mention the jealousy and hatred of the courtiers, even Li Shimin is estimated to be unable to tolerate him, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry......

Uncovering the lampshade, lighting the note, and burning it to the ground, Li Hao secretly decided in his heart: Before the age of eighteen, he will not enter the court.

The first night of the mansion in Lantian County came so quietly, and then he began to live, since he wanted to live, he would ask for money, although Li Hao now has few people in his family, and there are fifty acres of fertile land, but the daily expenses are not small, he can't live a tight life, this Li Hao doesn't accept it, even if he lives a hard life in the mountains, how can he still live a hard life when he moves to a big house, this is absolutely not good! Make hay! To make money!.

Li Hao has already thought of a money-making plan in his heart, first of all, farming, fifty acres of land must not be planted by himself, he does not have the ability, he asked Du Hong to invite ten tenant farmers, rent forty acres of land to them to plant, Li Hao's way of collecting rent is also different from others, he agreed with those tenant farmers, he does not want a grain of rice and wheat harvested in the field, as long as these tenant farmers help themselves to plant ten acres of corn land, of course, these corn belong to Li Hao, in fact, this is a bit like asking them to do long-term labor.

It was the first time that the tenant farmers had encountered such a strange thing, and when they heard that the grain harvested in the fields was free of rent, they were happy and agreed without hesitation.

Li Hao wants corn for a reason, which is related to the second step of his money-making plan, which is to raise chickens.

When he crossed, there were more than a dozen eggs in the refrigerator, and he had already hatched a few chicks by artificial incubation when he was in Jingyunguan, and he was lucky, there was a rooster among them, and then the chickens laid eggs, and the eggs hatched chickens, and now there are a lot of chickens in Jingyunguan.

The breeds of these chickens can be different from the grass chickens of Datang, these are three yellow chickens and foreign chickens, and then mixed breeding, a new breed of chickens is formed, Li Hao named "Sanyang chicken", this Sanyang chicken is very powerful, the weight of adult is three to four times that of grass chicken, and the maturity period is very short, 40 days can be slaughtered, the growth rate is comparable to hormone-fed chickens, as long as the nutrition is enough, 45 days to 50 days to start laying eggs.

Miraculously, such a short growth cycle does not make the taste of chicken worse, on the contrary, the chicken of Sanyo Chicken is very delicate and delicious, even a picky eater like Li Hao can't find fault, it is simply an excellent broiler.

Li Hao once thought about it carefully, and felt that the reason why Sanyo chickens grew so fast was probably related to time and space, maybe those eggs were the same as himself when they traveled through time and space, and they were mutated, so the hatched chickens were also different.

Li Hao is ready to raise broilers in large quantities, and the best feed needed to feed the chickens is bran made from corn, so he will plant ten acres of corn.

Li Hao asked Du Hong to recruit people to build a simple artificial hatchery, specially used to hatch eggs, at this time, the thermometer he brought came in handy, but when he first proposed to artificially incubate chickens, everyone thought he was crazy, this matter spread all over the village, Li Hao became the talk of the whole village for a while, but Li Hao didn't have time to pay attention to them, making money is a big deal, and a penny is difficult for heroes.

In fact, raising chickens is not his ultimate plan, his last plan is the focus, which is to sell fried chicken wishbones!

Modern people like to eat fried food, although eating too much of this thing is not good for the body, but KFC's business is still very good, Li Hao liked to eat it in his previous life, his father is a star chef, he grew up eating food since he was a child.

Although he doesn't like to eat KFC, but he likes to eat a chicken wishbone near their home, his tongue is very sensitive, can taste the ingredients in the dish, he ate the awesome chicken wishbone, he slowly researched, and actually really studied the secret recipe of pickled chicken wishbones, now, he is going to use this chicken wishbone secret recipe in Datang to open his own fried chicken wishbone shop, the cooking level of the Tang Dynasty is very low, there is a serious lack of food, Li Hao firmly believes that his chicken wishbone business will be very hot.

If you want to make chicken wishbones, there is still a lot of preparation, raising chickens is only one of the steps, and there is a very important thing, that is, preparing seasonings, with the current conditions, his seasonings are still missing a few things, fortunately, he has important seasonings, so he opened up several vegetable plots in the backyard, specializing in planting seasoning ingredients brought by himself.

The first batch of chicks hatched successfully, and the whole village was stunned, and finally realized that Li Hao was not a monkey invited to tease, people can really hatch chicks, and for a while, Li Hao became a hot spot in the whole village.

This group of chickens, Li Hao asked the Jin family to take care of it carefully, and he went to the field every day to check his cornfield, he was afraid that those tenant farmers would be lazy and fool their cornfields casually, and when the time came, they would mess around, but he found that his worries were a little redundant, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were still very simple and disciplined, and took good care of his cornfields.

These crops he brought seem to have undergone more or less mutation when passing through the time and space tunnel, this corn has also been mutated, these corn maturity cycle is very short, only 60 days to mature, and the normal corn maturity cycle is generally between 100 days and 130 days, and his corn is cold and heat resistant, drought and waterlogging resistant, basically except for the middle of winter in Lajiu, other seasons can be planted, the vitality is comparable to weeds, not only that, the yield of this corn is also high, he tried to plant in Nantuo Mountain, One acre of land can produce 1,000 kilograms of corn kernels, that is, 2,000 catties in the previous life (one catty in the Tang Dynasty was equal to 16 taels), you know, even in the previous life, under the premise of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the highest yield of corn is only 1,500 catties, which shows that the corn mutation of this gene mutation is more powerful.

However, his corn also has shortcomings, that is, it is not delicious, the taste is a little bitter, and the flour is very coarse, basically similar to the bran, it is difficult to eat as a ration, it is good to feed the pigs and chickens, there should be no loss in nutrition, anyway, those chickens grow very quickly after eating corn bran.

After another fifty days, Li Hao's group of chickens grew up and began to lay eggs, and the first batch of corn in the field was also harvested, ten acres of land, which produced 10 tons of corn, and piled up a small half of Li Hao's granary, those tenant farmers were stunned, and asked Li Hao what kind of crop this is, it has such a high yield, and it matures so quickly, Li Hao told them that this is a grain specially fed to chickens, and people can't eat it.

Li Hao is now counting money all day long, so annoying, there is not much money, in case he waits for a large group of chickens to raise, but sadly finds that the capital chain is broken, he can't think about the consequences, at this time, he suddenly wants to remove Du Hong's housekeeper position, all of which are harmful.

After another month, the chicken farm was built, and there were already more than 200 chicks in it, and his total cash assets were only 40 yuan.

The plan he had calculated in his heart was about to face dystocia because of lack of money, which was so embarrassing, Li Hao couldn't sit still, he decided to go out to look for business opportunities and see if there was any way to make money as soon as possible, at least let himself get through this difficulty first.
