So Li Zheng told them to eat early and let little brother Hu have dinner early so that he can go back. By the way, they also have a bullock cart at home, so they can give him a ride, which is faster than walking.
Li Zheng said so, but it was difficult to reject the warm invitation, so Hu Ling had no choice but to thank him and agree.
Li Zheng immediately asked his wife and daughter-in-law to kill two big fat chickens and started cooking dinner in a lively manner.
This dinner was naturally eaten at Li Zheng's house. The two clan heads Pan and Lai didn't come, but two clan elders came. Pan Erzhu's parents and Aunt Li Shiyi were also invited.
Pan Erzhu's parents were very happy.
How could their family have such a reputation in the village in the past? It was not thanks to their daughter-in-law! They looked at Li Xiaoying in a different light.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Zheng tentatively talked about the sugarcane fields. He did not make any excessive demands, but expressed his extreme envy and said that the villagers in Bajiao Village were equally hard-working and down-to-earth, and they did a special job.
Okay, if the mysterious big boss needs people and land somewhere in the future, could you consider Bajiao Village...
Hu Ling really didn't expect that Bajiaozhai wanted to talk about this through himself. After hearing these words, he suddenly realized that no wonder he had to be left to eat.
However, he is not disgusted with it.
His sworn sister once mentioned when chatting on weekdays, who doesn’t want to get rich and live a better life for their family? For example, they, such as the people in Zaihu Village, everyone works so hard, but it’s just to provide for their family three meals a day.
Worry can give your family better living conditions and security.
Everyone's purpose is the same, what they get is worthy of their efforts, and they all deserve respect.
Naturally, the people in Bajiao Village and Zaihu Village had the same idea.
Hu Ling responded vaguely, saying that he would definitely convey his meaning.
Everyone was very happy. They took turns toasting and saying a lot of good things. Soon they started talking about other household matters.
Generally speaking, someone who can be upright is not stupid. After all, he has to deal with all kinds of trivial matters in the village and the trivial matters of life. He is a good person and knows how to stop it. Talking too much will make people annoying.
.
Hu Ling was full of wine and food, and as the sun gradually set, Li Zheng sent his son to drive an ox cart to take him back.
Pan Erzhu's mother was very enthusiastic about letting her in-laws stay with her mother-in-law for one night. Aunt Li Shiyi declined with a smile and brought nothing with her. She didn't want to live at her in-laws' house, so she might as well leave. Anyway, it was close, so it was convenient to see her daughter.
Just knowing that my daughter is living well is better than anything else.
Aunt Li Shiyi said that it would be easier to go back if there was an oxcart delivered at the moment.
The Pan family woman thought about it, so she stopped staying. She warmly invited her to be a guest in the future, and Aunt Li Shiyi agreed with a smile.
When they returned home, the family had already had dinner, and it was getting dark. Zhao Liya smiled and said, "I said that brother and Aunt Eleven would definitely come back, and they did!"
Hu Ling scratched his head and smiled: "I still feel uneasy spending the night outside."
Aunt Li Shiyi also laughed and said: "I didn't plan to spend the night in the first place, so it's better to go back."
While they were joking, Aunt Li Shiyi went to help Deng take care of the two children. Hu Ling talked to Zhao Liya and Zhao Xiang, saying what was being relayed in Bajiao Village, "Our family now has a very good relationship with Zaihu Village.
If you have other things to do to make money, I think it would be good to look for Bajiao Village, as long as you don't have too many allies."
Zhao Xiang also nodded in agreement: "If the people in Bajiao Village are down-to-earth and reliable, then that's right."
They had a long-term plan from the beginning, and they had already told Zaihu Village that they would do something if they saw a suitable place in any village or village. Zhao Liya even deliberately asked Zaihu Village’s Zheng and the others for advice.
Regional conditions in Lian County.
Although I didn’t ask for advice, at least the people in Zaihu Village understood that they would not just do business in Zaihu Village. They took precautions in advance to prevent Zaihu Village from misunderstanding and thinking that they were the only ones, and later felt that they were the only ones in Zaihu Village.
Not happy at all.
Zhao Liya smiled and said: "When Li Xiaoying came today, I knew that it was probably a test. Bajiao Village is really interested! Since I also think that the people in their village look pretty good, and we still have some spare money on hand, why not take action?
Get up. I want to expand my sugarcane fields, and I also want to buy some land in Bajiao Village to grow more potatoes next year."
Potatoes are cultivated by many families in Gaolian County, but they obviously do not see the value of this treasure and just treat it as a crop imported from elsewhere.
Zhao Xiang was a little surprised, "Is it really necessary to plant a lot of potatoes?"
He also felt that this was an ordinary crop.
Zhao Liya nodded: "Dad, last time I went to Suixi County, I accidentally chatted with a businessman from out of town. He said that these potatoes are indeed good. I already have some ideas in my mind. Let's try it."
Even though she was confident about the matter, it was hard for her to say it too absolutely at once.
Zhao Xiang didn't know much about these things, so he pondered for a moment, looked at her and said with a smile: "If you say yes, then do it."
Hu Ling also said: "Aya's idea is not wrong!"
Zhao Liya smiled: "Okay, let's try it!"
The potatoes were just in season for harvesting. Zhao Liya and the others discussed it and went to Zaihu Village the next day to announce the purchase of potatoes, which cost two cents per pound. Those with damaged skins were not allowed.
After resting for several days, I felt refreshed and ready to start working.
It's just the right time for the villagers to dig potatoes. After digging the potatoes, it's time to harvest the rice.
The news quickly spread throughout the village and became a sensation!
"Two cents per catty? Is it really two cents per catty!"
"Hahaha, our family has planted a lot, which is great!"
"Quick, quick, dig that potato carefully, don't break it."
Not every household in Zaihu Village has planted potatoes, and some have planted them. After all, everyone regards this as an ordinary edible crop, so how many can be planted? The most is only one and a half acres.
Some people just plant a whole plot, or just a few corners. It’s not as much as planting soybeans, corn, etc.
Now everyone who planted it is so happy! This thing has just been dug up and weighed! And the results are so many, even if they are planted and not taken care of, one seedling can produce more than a kilogram, and the soil is a little fertile.
If you take care of one or two, two or three pounds will not be a problem.
Someone dug up an acre or half an acre, leaving only a little to eat and drink as seeds for next year. Although they were sparsely planted, the harvest was really great. They all sold a thousand kilograms, six to seven hundred kilograms, and made a lot of money at once.
Two taels of silver or several dollars, I was very happy.
In the vegetable garden, what was grown in the corners of the field ranged from two to three hundred pounds to more than a hundred pounds, and all that could be sold were sold.
It costs a penny a pound, why not sell it? We sell our eggs in the market for only a penny each. If the eggs are laid by newly grown pullets, they are extremely small and cannot be sold for a penny each.
