Things that don’t need to be taken care of when planted in the ground cost two cents per pound, which is a very good deal for everyone!
Those who didn't grow potatoes were filled with regret and envy.
So people came to Zhao Liya and others one after another to ask whether they could harvest what their relatives in other villages had planted.
Of course, Zhao Liya does not reject anyone who comes.
She needs a lot of potatoes to make seeds, and potatoes are storable. If she harvests a lot, she can make some potato vermicelli this winter.
Then everyone became energetic again, and many people went to relatives' houses in other villages to talk about it. The news gradually spread, and when other villages learned of the news, they also dug potatoes and carried them to sell.
Among them are the villagers of Bajiao Village.
Many families in Bajiao Village also grew potatoes. After hearing the news, they quickly dug them up and brought them over to sell.
Li Xiaoying's family also planted some scraps, and hurriedly dug them out. They borrowed a scale from the village and weighed them first. They weighed more than 360 kilograms, which is more than 700 yuan. The family's Coke was broken.
With this amount of money, the family can buy winter clothes, and there is still some money left to buy two pounds of salt and two pounds of sugar for the New Year.
Qu Yutao was already very skilled at doing these things, so Zhao Liya simply left it to her to be responsible for the purchase, weighing, and transportation. Uncle Ruan Gui, Li Guangwu, and Li Guangqing were there to help, so things would not go wrong.
Obviously we can't store so much at home, but fortunately the sugar cane workshop has been completely completed and there are many warehouses that can be stored just right.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling went to Zaihu Village to discuss plans to buy another 400 acres of land to expand the sugarcane fields next year. Li Zheng was very happy and patted his chest, saying that he would handle the matter properly.
Zhao Liya added by the way that she planned to buy some land in Bajiao Village: "I plan to grow potatoes for several hundred acres. Does Uncle Li know that Bajiao Village is reliable? Can I buy land in their village?"
Although Li Zheng wished that all these benefits would be in his own village, he also knew that it was unlikely. Today there are potatoes, and tomorrow there might be others. Bajiao Village is also a brother village after all, so it’s okay for them to take advantage of this benefit.
Already.
Zhao Liya asked him about Bajiao Village, and he was quite happy, so he said with a smile: "Those old men in charge of Bajiao Village are still people who keep their word. Hmm, if you dare to talk, it won't count. If you dare to bully our boss,
We in Zaihu Village will not spare them!"
These words made Zhao Liya and Hu Ling both laugh.
Zhao Liya said with a smile: "That's great. Since you make the decision for us, we have a family and a backer! Then let's do this. We plan to go to Bajiao Village tomorrow. If you
If you have time, can you accompany us? If you don't have time, that's okay."
Of course, Uncle Li would not refuse. He was eager to go. He slapped his thigh and said, "Go, of course you want to go! Don't be embarrassed to say which piece of land you like, I will keep it for you to get!"
Zhao Liya Yile: "Thank you very much!"
"Hey, you should, you should!" Uncle Li was very curious: "Miss Zhao, I'm a little curious, why do you plant so many potatoes? They taste good, but you can plant so many...
.”
Zhao Liya smiled: "Well, let me give it up for now. These potatoes taste really good. When I have some free time after this busy work, I will teach you how to cook with potatoes and eat them in many ways."
It’s here! The yield of potatoes is high, and the land is not picked. If your family has little paddy field, you can grow more of these. Can you tell me if they can be eaten as food? At least you won’t be hungry!”
Uncle Li's eyes lit up, "Hey, it's true! In this way, this thing is really good! If Miss Zhao can teach us how to make more potato dishes, that would be even better!"
Zhao Liya nodded: "Yes, definitely."
"Haha, then I, the old man, would like to thank Miss Zhao first!"
"You're welcome!"
Uncle Li stopped asking Zhao Liya why she grew so many potatoes. Since this was a way to make money, it was understandable that he refused to talk about it for the time being.
He was just curious and asked casually, not necessarily knowing.
Anyway, you will always know in the future, right?
Just do it, and the next day, Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, Uncle Li, and Uncle Ruan Gui went to Bajiao Village together.
When everyone saw Miss Zhao and Mr. Hu coming, they more or less guessed why, and because they could make money by purchasing potatoes properly, their good impressions accumulated and they became even more enthusiastic.
As soon as Zhao Liya and the others entered the village, countless villagers greeted them enthusiastically and followed them with smiles on their faces. Some people had already rushed to tell the village chief and the clan leader.
As someone who had been to Zhao's house, Li Xiaoying was also an important person in the village who came to receive him. Of course, some people rushed to tell her, and she was surprised and happy, so she hurried over to say hello.
After talking to Zhao Liya and seeing everyone's envious expressions, Li Xiaoying was so proud.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were a little stunned when they saw this posture!
Fortunately, both of them have seen big scenes, otherwise they would probably be frightened.
Zhao Liya was a little dumbfounded: With this attitude, it will be difficult to end this matter if it is not done!
Fortunately, things went very smoothly.
This is like two families getting married. It is impossible to rashly approach a matchmaker to propose marriage from the beginning. Basically, both families have inquired about each other privately, have a certain understanding of each other, and even contacted and discussed with each other.
After reaching a certain level of intention, a matchmaker will finally be sent to your door.
Naturally, we hit it off immediately and it was right once we said it.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling expressed that they wanted to buy land to grow potatoes in Bajiao Village, but Bajiao Village was so happy that they patted their chests and said that they would let them choose. They also said that the villagers in their village were all hard-working and capable, and they were no better than Zai.
It's a bad job in Hu Village. If you don't believe it, just wait and see. This made Mr. Zhengli from Zaihu Village angrily glare at him and retort with sarcasm. The two old men even had a few quarrels with each other.
It was decided that this matter would be settled within three days.
Zhao Liya and the others bought another thousand acres of land, expanded the sugarcane field by 400 acres, and bought 600 acres in Bajiao Village.
There are dozens of acres in the middle of the land in Bajiao Village that have been cultivated by three families. At this time, corn, soybeans, beans, peppers and other crops are still growing on the land.
Zhao Liya negotiated with them to buy an acre of land for three taels of silver so that it could be connected together, and they sold it without hesitation.
This is well-cultivated land, and the price is relatively reasonable. The other party did not raise the price based on the land, and Zhao Liya felt very satisfied.
This time, the yamen raised the price of the land, with the lowest price being 1,291 acres, which was an extra dollar per acre. The 3,000 taels of silver received were immediately spent on another 1,900 taels, and there were still 1,200 taels left, which was enough for various subsequent projects.
Expensed.
Fortunately, the two Li Zheng came forward. If Hu Ling went there, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to buy an acre for two taels of silver. This chapter has been completed!
