Ning didn't know that Shi Jiang didn't understand. She just felt that if her master was gone, the Wu family would be destroyed!
Therefore, even if you sell your biological daughter to someone as a concubine, you still have to redeem her from the master.
However, after Wu Hongyang came back this time, he no longer just acted as a hands-off shopkeeper and did nothing like before.
He was in the county jail and had enough of the smell of the jail.
Compared with that big guy, working in the fields doesn't seem so difficult.
However, it is impossible to actually go to the ground.
So, he followed his father's example and asked people in the village to help cultivate the land.
However, the Wu family is not as generous as the Shi family to Uncle Cai's family. Every time the land is plowed and planted, Ning will take her daughter-in-law to find faults.
The wages given were not very high in the first place, but when the money was deducted, the people in the village could only get a few copper coins for their hard work.
Some people think that there is nowhere to spend all their energy anyway, and they can only earn a copper plate.
Some people feel angry because when the Wu family comes to ask for help, most of the people in the village are not willing to help the Wu family. They are too stingy.
After paying the tax, I called Uncle Cai's family to help plow the land, and then planted all the sweet potato seedlings grown in the backyard into my own field.
After planting, I planted all the seeds in the backyard, and there were a lot of sweet potato seedlings.
Shi Jiang thought for a while and asked Uncle Cai and his family to take back all the remaining sweet potato seedlings and plant them.
Anyway, if they don’t plant sweet potato seedlings in their fields, they will also grow cabbage, radish and other vegetables.
If these sweet potato seedlings are used to grow them, the Shi family is willing to pay a higher price than the Chinese cabbage they planted.
For the Cai family, this is simply a blessing in disguise.
After all, their family originally grew Chinese cabbage for their own consumption. Almost every household in the border area grows some Chinese cabbage like this.
Therefore, if you want to sell Chinese cabbage for money, it is simply a fantasy. Who will buy it?
Now I am helping the Shi family grow these sweet potato seedlings and are willing to pay a slightly higher price than the Chinese cabbage. That is simply a gift from the Shi family to the Cai family.
Thinking that if the family saves two more months of money, they can build two new houses for the third and fourth children respectively. Now that there is money to be made, there will be reasons for not wanting to do so.
After planting all the sweet potato seedlings, the Shi family had nothing else to do except go to An County to set up a stall and deliver goods to Fu'an Restaurant and grocery stores every day.
As for the family, with the addition of two pigs and many chickens and ducks, Mrs. Shen was busy running around alone, so naturally her mother would lend a hand if she could.
Suddenly, everyone in the family was spinning like a top.
Everyone was busy, except Shi Jiang, who seemed to have nothing to do.
Shi Jiang thought for a while, then took out the sweet potatoes and started making various delicacies that could be made with sweet potatoes.
Not only sweet potatoes, but also milk from the family’s cows.
Because the sales volume of pearl milk tea has dropped slightly, and the family's cows are producing much more milk than before because they are eating well.
If the milk cannot be used up and is not made into other things, it will have to be thrown away, which would be a real pity.
Because of the weather at the border, Shi Jiang had already thought of turning the excess milk into cheese.
Although cheese is almost always made by the barbarians outside the customs, most of the cheeses made by the barbarians do not remove the smell.
Even if someone can tolerate the smell, if they eat too much, the smell will linger all over their body.
I estimate that even if I shower and wash my hair every day, I can't completely get rid of the smell.
However, if the smell of mutton is removed and only the sweet milk flavor is left, it will be completely different.
Shi Jiang felt that human tongues were always the same.
How can I not eat the sweet taste and only want to eat the cheese with the fishy smell?
If possible, people outside the customs can exchange it with some of their specialties!
However, if such a market is to be established, the authorities must intervene.
Otherwise, who would have the courage to do business with those barbarians outside the customs?
Of course, unless they are businessmen who run business all year round.
But those businessmen only come here twice a year, so what are they doing?
Moreover, in Shi Jiang's view, as long as people outside the customs and people inside the customs are involved in business and economics, there will be no war.
After all, no one wants to see economic losses caused by war.
Whether they are the people of the Central Plains or the people of the Hu people, what they want is nothing more than food to eat!
It has to be said that the cheese made by Shi Jiang and the delicacies made of various sweet potatoes have deeply captured the hearts of everyone in the Shi family.
Shi Jiang also made rice cakes and then made them into spicy fried rice cakes. Thinking that there are already promising spring cakes in food stalls in Quan'an County, Shi's father felt that this spicy fried rice cakes will definitely become the favorite of all the guests this year.
.
In early December in Jingzhou, all the sweet potato vines in the fields that had been frosted were taken back home.
Then Shi's father went to Jiang Shaoning first, borrowed his hand, and made an appointment with the county magistrate.
I told the county magistrate about the sweet potatoes that my daughter called sweet potatoes.
The county magistrate, who originally came here just to give face to his wife's brother, suddenly heard the news, and his first reaction was that Shi's father was lying and a liar.
However, Jiang Shaoning whispered to him and told him Shi's father's origins and the business he had done with Fu'an Restaurant this year.
Only then did the county magistrate suppress the thought of shouting angrily to come in and arrest Shi's father.
He asked dubiously: "You said the yield per mu is more than ten dan, is that true?"
"Sir, if it is true or false, you will know after I take a look in the fields! There is no need for ordinary people to lie to you for such a lie that can be exposed easily."
Shi's father raised his hands in a neither humble nor overbearing manner and said to the county magistrate.
When the county magistrate heard what Shi's father said, he thought about it carefully and found that it was exactly what Shi's father said.
Whether it is true or not, you will know after you take a trip.
If it was fake, let alone Jiang Shaoning, even if his wife came forward, he would definitely not spare Yao Qian at this time.
But if it is true, they can only produce one stone of grain per acre. If they can produce ten times the amount, if this is reported to the court, their promotion will be a sure thing.
For a seventh-grade official like him, he originally thought that he would sit in the position of county magistrate until he resigned.
The county magistrate, who was still dubious at first, now felt extremely hot in his heart.
He took Jiang Shaoning and the officials from the county government directly to the village with Shi's father.
I thought my father had told Uncle Cai and his family to wait in his field the day before.
Wait until he brings people here, then dig the ground.
Therefore, their whole family was squatting by the field bank, waiting for Shifu's arrival.
