"Pepper peppers are not disposable. A pepper seedling can continue to produce peppers, so the output increases." He Yunxi said, "Of course, careful care is also necessary."
"This is much higher than the yield of beans, and the price is also much higher!" Li Changfu exclaimed.
The annual output of soybeans is only four to five hundred kilograms, and they are sold to grain stores in the city for less than three cents per kilogram. Calculated, the income from an acre of land is sometimes less than one tael of silver.
The annual output of chili peppers is one or two thousand kilograms, and red chili sauce costs ten cents per kilogram. If the income from one acre of land is large, it can reach twenty taels!
When the Li family calculated this income, they found it a bit incredible, and more importantly, unreal.
"Daughter, can this pepper really be grown?" Li Changfu is an expert at farming, and his first thought was whether it would work or not.
"The seeds are definitely viable. They can survive in ravines. There is no reason why we can't grow them." He Yunxi said, "It's just the first time to plant, so we can't determine the final yield."
"That's higher income than growing beans." Li Changming said, "Dad, how many acres of land should we plant next year?"
Li Zhigui usually smoked dry cigarettes. After he became ill, the cigarette stick was confiscated. He subconsciously touched his waist and found nothing.
"Ahem," he coughed twice and asked, "Yunxi, can you share these peppers with the village to grow some?"
"Grandpa wants to lead the people in the village to plant seeds together?"
"If possible." Li Zhigui sighed, "Everyone's life is too difficult."
If peppers can really be grown, the lives of the people in the village will be better, and there will be fewer people selling their sons and daughters.
He Yunxi understood Li Zhigui's thoughts and said: "I have a lot of seeds. If someone wants to plant them, it's okay, but I'm afraid others won't believe it."
"It's our business whether we tell or not, and it's their business whether we plant or not." As the village chief, Li Zhigui wants to inspire the whole village, but he won't ask others to plant if they don't believe him.
"Okay, then I will reserve some more seeds for you." He Yunxi said.
"Yunxi, do you want to plant it too?"
"Of course. I bought fifty acres of wasteland and will start reclaiming it tomorrow."
"Wasteland?" Wang Chunye whispered, "Can we plant it?"
"It should be possible. I have a way to make them grow plants, but I can't guarantee how many." He Yunxi said.
Li Zhigui wanted to say how she could buy wasteland, but seeing that Lu Yan was there, he said nothing.
"You will open up wasteland tomorrow, do you want us to help?" Li Changming asked.
"No need, we have asked the village chief to find someone." He Yunxi said, "There is so much land at home, you first open it up and then cultivate it."
If the Li family went to help her open up wasteland, they would definitely not charge her money, and it would also delay the Li family's work on the land.
When she heard that she had hired someone, the Li family would be in trouble. There was no need to say that they had taken someone else's job.
After dinner, He Yunxi went to see Li Changyun again to make sure that his condition was improving before going to rest.
Lu Yan and He Yunxi still slept in her old room. Since she got married, this room had been occupied by Li Chengxing and Li Chengyue, and now they went to another room to lay the floor.
In the dark night, Lu Yan asked He Yunxi: "How do you plan to deal with the matter of selling mold?"
"Of course we can't let it go." He Yunxi said, "But if no one gets the stolen goods together, the other party will definitely not admit it."
"What are you going to do?"
"Of course I have to report to the official." He Yunxi hated such profiteers very much, "Do you know the county magistrate? Is it feasible to report to the official?"
"A new county magistrate will come in two days. He is a disciple from a well-known family in the capital. He is a decent person." Lu Yan said, "He should be able to take over such matters that concern the people."
"Then report to the official in two days." He Yunxi said, "As a new county magistrate, he should hope to do something to infiltrate the people."
"Um."
"Lu Yan, how did you know about the new county magistrate?" He Yunxi asked.
Lu Yan paused and said, "I heard about it yesterday when I went to the county town."
"Oh. What you heard is quite detailed." He Yunxi sighed, "By the way, we didn't go to see the Master during the holiday today. Isn't it a little bad?"
"It doesn't matter. When I went to the city yesterday, I gave the Master a gift," Lu Yan said.
"That's good." He Yunxi yawned, "Go to sleep. Good night."
"Good night."
Lu Yan lost sleep thinking about the new county magistrate. After thinking about it in his mind, he fell asleep.
When He Yunxi got up the next day, he saw Wang Chunye trying to throw away the moldy medicinal materials and quickly stopped her.
"This medicinal material has become moldy, why don't you throw it away and keep it?"
"As evidence." He Yunxi said, "That quack doctor sold moldy medicinal materials and almost killed my father and uncle. This matter cannot be left alone."
Li Changming came out of the house, heard her words, and asked: "Yunxi, which medical center are you going to find?"
"If you go to the medical center like this, they will definitely not recognize you. In two days, I will go to the county to report it to the government and let the government investigate."
"Report to the official?" Wang Chunye had never dealt with the government, and was a little frightened when he heard the official reported, "Is it necessary to report to the official?"
"Of course I want it." He Yunxi said seriously, "They must have sold these medicinal materials to more than just our family. If we don't stop them, they will definitely sell them to more people. Dad and my uncle met me.
What about those other people?”
When Wang Chunye heard this, he felt that what she said was right: "That's right, we can't let them sell it to others anymore. This is a waste of human life!"
"Auntie, please put this away. I'll need it later." He Yunxi said, "I'm going to treat my uncle first, and I'll have to rush back later."
"Then go and I'll make you some breakfast."
He Yunxi went to give Li Changyun an injection, and when he came out, he gave Liu Yan ten taels of silver.
"Where did you get so much money?" Liu Yan exclaimed. She felt it was hot and quickly stuffed it back to her. "Take it back quickly."
"This is what I earned." He Yunxi said, "I know that during this period of time, my family spent all the money on medical treatment for my grandfather and uncle, right? All the family needs to eat is labor, so we can't save food.
.”
"The family also collected some food..."
"Oh, if it's given to you, just take it. Now that food prices have dropped, buy more to eat at home." He Yunxi said, "My family is clearing land today, and we have to go back."
"Then do you still have flowers?"
"Of course I have it. How can I buy land if I don't have money? By the way, go and collect more beans. Later I will teach you how to make a condiment that requires beans. Let's go..." She went to get some pancakes and followed
Everyone said goodbye and hurried back with Lu Yan.
Today we are going to open up wasteland, and as the owner, I can't do it without going.
