Chapter 173 A bumper harvest
At first, everyone questioned Su Xiaoxiao why everyone was planting rice in the fields. When planting food, she chose to plant potato seedlings and peppers. In fact, Su Xiaoxiao knew that her family’s land It is a lower-grade field, and saline-alkali land is very unsuitable for growing seedlings of these crops.
But if you plant some acidic crops, they can neutralize each other and make good use of land resources. Now it seems that Su Xiaoxiao is indeed right to do this. The seedlings in the ground are growing well, and Su Xiaoxiao finally feels relieved.
At this moment, there is the joy of harvest, and Su Xiaoxiao is naturally in a good mood.
Liu Qiaomei also wondered why Su Xiaoxiao was planting soybeans in the ground. The soybeans were not very hungry.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Well, you will know about it later."
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao's carriage arrived at her home, many villagers came to watch. It was no less a sensation than someone in the village buying their first car.
Pei Yuan, Dabao and Xiaobao all gathered around him instantly, looking incredulous, "How did you drive this carriage back?"
This was a very luxurious black-topped carriage. Pei Yuan touched the carriage and asked Su Xiaoxiao.
"Can you drive a carriage?"
Su Xiaoxiao replied: "It's OK."
When Pei Yuan saw that Su Xiaoxiao was quite immodest, he naturally felt that she was a little more cute.
"What about our mule cart?"
"Of course it was sold."
"You really think about it."
After Pei Yuan said this, he saw Su Xiaoxiao throw him over with a knife in the eye.
"Am I still in charge of my mule cart?"
"Oh, of course, of course..."
Pei Yuan was about to be overwhelmed by Su Xiaoxiao's momentum. It seemed that villains and women were the only ones in the world who could not be offended.
Just as the family was preparing to celebrate the purchase of a new black carriage for Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao heard someone knocking on the door again.
When I went out, I saw that it was Su Bingcheng.
"Cousin, why are you here?"
They had not seen each other since the last time they met at Li Chun Courtyard.
What's going on?
Actually, Su Xiaoxiao still cares about Su Bingcheng and is worried about what might happen to Su Bingcheng.
"Xiaoxiao, I was wrong before, and I'm ready to start over."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she was very happy that Su Bingcheng realized his mistake.
"Then what are you going to do? Cousin, don't worry, as long as you can get back on your feet, I will pay you and you can do whatever you want."
Pei Yuan couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. It seemed that Su Xiaoxiao was really determined to help her cousin this time.
"I don't have any ideas, why don't you Xiaoxiao help me come up with ideas?"
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a while, "I think it's better to open a shop that no one else has. How about a hot pot restaurant?"
In fact, in the previous dynasty, very few people had even heard of the term hot pot, and none of them had ever eaten hot pot.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that Su Bingcheng was confused, so she made a hot pot meal for Su Bingcheng. The hot pot was made with spicy soup base. As a result, Su Bingcheng was full after eating the meal.
"tasty."
Su Bingcheng admired Su Xiaoxiao's ability very much, and finally decided to open a hotpot restaurant.
The location was opened in the town, and no one dared to come in and try the hot pot restaurant on the day it opened. Although the aroma of hot pot is wafting in the store, everyone is repelled and skeptical about things they have never tried. They think it must not be delicious, or is it expensive? Is it worth going in and trying it?
In the first few days, the business situation was actually not very good, and Su Bingcheng seemed discouraged.
On this day, Su Bingcheng was busy in the store. Several burly men came to the door. He thought there was business, but when he took a closer look, something was wrong.
"Su Bingcheng, when will you pay back the money you owe?"
It was too late for Su Bingcheng to escape now, so he had no choice but to step forward and laugh with him.
"Third brother, you see, my store has just opened and I haven't made any money yet. How about you wait a little longer?"
The man Su Bingcheng called third brother turned his little yellow eyes and looked at Su Bingcheng's store.
"Well, the store is nice and quite big. But when do we have to wait, the money you owe is taking a long time."
"I……"
Su Bingcheng also knew that he now regretted the huge loan shark debt he owed for gambling, but he couldn't afford to offend these people.
"Well, I'll help you out right away."
These gangsters came to Su Bingcheng's shop. He wanted to do business, but there was no way to continue.
After a few days, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to see how Su Bingcheng's newly opened hot pot restaurant was operating.
When she came to the door, she found that not only were there no customers in the store, but even the waiters had been sent away.
"What's going on?"
Su Xiaoxiao frowned and asked Su Bingcheng. She thought that the store's business might be bad at first, but she didn't expect it to be so bad.
"Why are the tables and chairs still overturned on the ground? Where are the guys? They didn't come over to clean them up?"
Su Bingcheng sighed and said, "Oh, sister, I'm sorry for you."
"What happened?"
Su Bingcheng was very sad. He said to Su Xiaoxiao: "It's all my fault that my brother was ignorant before and owed loan sharks. No, these people are here."
Su Xiaoxiao frowned. Although she was angry in her heart, she suppressed it.
"Cousin, how much do you owe?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Bingcheng thought for a while, "This..."
"The loan sharks add up to a total of one hundred and fifty taels of silver."
Su Xiaoxiao gasped, her eyes full of surprise at such a large amount, "So much, cousin, why do you owe so much money?"
"I was addicted to gambling before, and I had some problems with my business. Someone told me that I could get money immediately by going to a gambling shop. I listened to that person's words, and the result was out of control..."
Su Xiaoxiao also knows that in fact, the mentality of most gamblers is like this. They think that they can have the luck of a white wolf with nothing, but in the end, they slowly fall into the trap.
In fact, this is also the case with many fraud methods nowadays. Scammers take advantage of this mentality to defraud people of their money, and this can lead to bankruptcies and out-of-control situations.
The mentality of a liar is that I am not worthy of being a liar until I defraud you of all your property. The main thing is to bite the green hills and not let go. I will not let go until I defraud you of all your property. I am sorry to be called a liar.
"I helped you with the money, cousin, but you have to remember that this is the last time. In the future, if I hear you getting involved with gambling again, I will sever ties with you forever. Those who want usury Even if someone cuts you into eight pieces on the street, I won’t care about you.”
