Chapter 180 These two people are both bad-tempered
Qiao Ye saw their interest and curiosity.
She couldn't help but laugh. "My family went to my parents-in-law to cause trouble and ruin their reputation. What does it have to do with me?"
"Isn't it that they brought this upon themselves?"
"The Qiao family has tasted the sweetness of the Yu family, so of course they want to continue tasting it."
"So I took the initiative to ask my parents-in-law for money, and when they refused to give it, those past events were dug up. Isn't that normal?"
She added: "As for how to deal with it, after returning home today, of course I will take the initiative to tell the Lu family what happened in the county."
"I am an innocent person. I believe they will not vent their anger on me."
"I just feel sad that my father-in-law and mother-in-law have no sense of propriety and don't think about the consequences. They have to take the initiative to provoke the rogues of the Qiao family."
"Don't forget that my husband and I are also poor people whose reputations will be affected."
"They can't even sympathize with us, so how can they blame us?"
She had already thought about how to deal with the Lu family and the Lu family patriarch and elders.
This was all done by the scumbag eunuch and his wife. What does it have to do with her?
After all, she was just a spilled water of the Qiao family, and they cut off their relationship in front of everyone.
Besides, if something like this happens, they and their spouse are the ones who suffer the most, aren’t they?
They were living a quiet life in the village, but their reputation was ruined by that shameless couple in-laws, and they still want to find someone to cry to.
Who would think and guess that they would be the driving force behind this?
What good will it do for the two scumbag eunuchs if their reputations are ruined?
Xiao Qi and the other two couldn't help but twitch their lips: "..."
This is a good and powerful explanation.
They had thought wrong before.
Because I know the truth, I think that the two of them might be targeted.
But they forget that these two are also “poor innocent” people whose reputations will be implicated.
No wonder Lu Shao cares so much about his wife, these two people are full of bad intentions!
The key point is that he not only cheated and deceived others, but also pretended to be an innocent and pitiful victim. It's amazing.
Even they couldn't help but admire him a little.
This trick is really good, they will learn it in the future.
After sitting for a while, Lu Shao and Qiao Ye returned to the village.
And the other side.
After returning home, the people from Old Qiao's family took out the stolen items and counted them.
Everyone's face turned red with excitement. They got rich, they really got rich.
Although the money was only seven taels, the various jewelries added up would cost at least several dozen taels.
I have to say that Mr. Lu really loves those two vixens.
At the same time, they couldn't help but think that after the money was spent, they would find an excuse to go to the Lu family.
Such a fat sheep must be slaughtered several times.
The news from the county town has not yet reached the village.
The people in Old Qiao's family were immersed in the joy of having robbed so many things and money, and no one went out to chat with anyone.
Qiao Ye and Lu Shao returned to the village and went to the clan leader's house first.
The patriarch was making rosin candles at the time. When he saw the two people coming, he stood up and greeted them with a smile.
"Why are you here? Come and sit down."
The clan leader's wife also greeted the two men with a warm smile and poured tea for them.
Since my family learned how to make rosin candles, they use them themselves, which saves a lot of money compared to using oil lamps.
They would take them to the town to sell when the market was open.
Although the price of pine oil candles has dropped to two cents each, she is still very happy to earn ten or twenty cents each time to supplement the family income.
This is all thanks to Wulang's wife.
Lu Shao and Qiao Ye also smiled and called people to sit down.
Lu Shao looked at the clan leader and said, "Grandpa, my wife wants to discuss something with you."
The clan leader looked at Qiao Ye, "What's the matter? Just tell me."
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Grandpa, is there anyone in the clan who wants to raise sheep?"
The clan leader was stunned for a moment, "I haven't heard of anyone wanting to raise sheep, what's the matter?"
Ever since the previous dynasty began to vigorously promote pork, people have become more accustomed to and fond of eating pork.
The mutton they cook themselves always has a strong smell and they don’t like it.
He added, “Now many people come to the village to buy pigs, but no one buys sheep.”
"Buying lambs is not cheap, and I don't know if they will be easy to sell after they grow up. Besides, the villagers don't really like to eat lamb."
“So there are many families raising pigs, but no one raising sheep.”
Qiao Ye knew all of this.
The way villagers cook mutton is by stewing it, but they don’t know how to make it delicious.
And even if they knew, they would not be willing to buy those seasonings to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.
The mutton you cook yourself has a strong smell, so you won’t like eating it that much, and you won’t be interested in raising it.
But her demand for mutton fat became greater and greater.
After Lin Hao and others bring the candles back to the capital, the candle market will open and orders will come in continuously.
She has been making a lot recently, and the sheep oil she asked the Lu family to collect is almost not enough to keep up with the consumption of making candles.
In the future, she will recruit people to work in the workshop to make candles in the shapes of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. These are not custom-made candles, but can be made in large quantities.
For the rich and powerful, this kind of candle is not too expensive and is elegant and presentable.
So the market potential is huge and she doesn't want to let it go.
She was planning to raise a group of sheep, but not too many, as they were mainly raised for food, and the sheep oil would definitely not be enough.
That’s why we want the villagers to raise them as well, so that it can also boost the income of the entire village, killing two birds with one stone.
After all, when she said she would lead the whole village to become rich, it was not just empty talk.
"I will need a lot of sheep in the future, so I thought of a cooperative sheep farming method and would like to ask for your opinion."
The clan leader attached great importance to Qiao Ye, "Tell me what you have to say."
Qiao Ye said: "I will pay to buy the lambs, and the villagers will raise them."
"When the sheep are grown and ready to be slaughtered, I want their wool and fat."
"The remaining meat and skeleton are up to the villagers. They can eat it or sell it. It belongs to them."
"Of course, if you have too many sheep and can't sell them, I'll collect the mutton."
"This way, villagers don't have to worry about not being able to sell their mutton."
"We can sign a contract with you and the village chief as witnesses."
She knows a lot of delicious ways to cook mutton. When the time comes, she can just set up a stall selling various braised and stewed mutton and hire people to sell them.
If there is too much mutton, you can make it into dried mutton and sell it. This can be stored for a longer time and you can make a lot of money from it.
After collecting the meat, she can process it and make money, so she made such a guarantee.
Only under such conditions can most villagers want to raise sheep and put it into practice.
It looked like she had suffered a great loss, but in reality she had not.
Wool is very useful, and sheep oil is the raw material for making expensive candles.
A lamb costs about two hundred coins, and just a plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum candle can buy a lot of lambs.
But if a sheep is raised to maturity, its fat can be used to make several sets of candles in the colors of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
She only had to spend money to buy the lambs and teach the villagers how to raise them. She didn't have to worry about them eating grass or herding the sheep, which was much easier.
Just wait to collect the wool and mutton fat.
Otherwise, if the raw material sheep oil cannot be supplied, she will not be able to make more expensive candles, which would be a real loss.
It is not impossible to purchase it from other places and transport it, but the transportation cost in ancient times was very high, so it would be better to let the villagers raise it.
It can also make the villagers grateful and make her the center of attention in future affairs.
Sheep fat can also be used to make soap, scented soap, hand cream, etc.
Sheep fat and wool are not valuable now, but she is sure that the prices will increase dramatically in the future, especially wool.
As I recall, winters were quite cold, so how could we live without sweaters and trousers?
Recently, when she asked the Lu brothers to collect sheep oil, they would collect the wool together, wash it, dry it, and put it away for use later.
But the amount collected cannot be increased, and there will be a huge gap in the demand for wool in workshops in the future.
The coarse wool of sheep can be used to make carpets, etc., and the fine wool is used to spin wool yarn.
Cotton can actually be spun into wool yarn and can also be blended with wool.
But wool yarn is better.
Both raw materials can be used at that time.
In two months, the mosquito coil workshop will almost stop operating, so she plans to switch to a wool workshop.
Get all kinds of knitted products, such as sweaters, trousers and woolen warm shoes that you can wear to keep warm.
