The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 149

"It must be at least two to three hundred catties," Zhong Gensheng said with a smile.

"That is to say, the three acres are worth four to six taels of silver..." The man was even more surprised, looking at each other in blank dismay, thinking about growing these at home, selling the money to buy grain to eat, or growing grain.

But Zhong Gensheng said something that dispelled their worries. He smiled and said: "Our seeds are only sold to the villagers, and they are not expensive. They are only twenty yuan a catty, but a few taels per catty can be used to plant an acre of land. , I am still a low-grade field, the harvest of the high-grade field will be better, if you are worried, you can plant less..."

"Twenty cents a catty of seeds?!" The man didn't expect such a good thing, and all of his faces were filled with joy, and he said, "Is what you said true?!"

"Of course it is true..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "As long as you plant it and dry it, we will harvest it. Our family needs it every day..."

"That will be successful..." Several people were overjoyed, and said: "After the harvest is over, I will discuss with my family how much to plant, and then I will go to your house to buy seeds. Then you have to tell me how to plant it..."

"Of course, weeding these things and watering them are easy to take care of, much easier to take care of than the ground..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "You can plant two seasons a year. After I have harvested, I will continue to plant this." ..."

Everyone has an account in their hearts and starts to calculate how much land they have at home, how much money they can earn in two seasons a year, and everyone is immediately happy, greeted hurriedly, and ran back with a smile. home.

Zhong Gensheng smiled and continued to harvest. In fact, Tu Niu was right. As long as everyone’s life in the village gradually improved because of the Zhong family, their Zhong family would have a more stable foothold in the village. Moreover, everyone It will not make things difficult for their family anymore, even if they are more careful, it will be fine... Zhong Gensheng has always been resigned to Tu Niu's words, and he didn't understand it before, but now he sees this scene and handles these things, he understands quite a few...

It turned out to be the case.

This kind of thing is really a beautiful thing. On the one hand, it makes the people in the village rich, and also makes their Zhong family unpopular. It saves a lot of money. After all, the spice shop is shipped from other places, and the price is extremely expensive...

When Zhong Gensheng returned home, he flattened all the seasonings he collected and put them on the ground in the yard to dry. The sun has been fine these days, which is really a good day, which is convenient for him to harvest and dry the seasonings. If it rains, it will be troublesome, and if the wheat gets wet, it will be troublesome...

While drying the sun, he saw Shen Sisi coming over, and said: "Tu Niu, I told the people in the village, and I guess many people want to plant these seeds, and I can tell them clearly how to sell the seeds and how to harvest them." It's clear, so don't worry, when this season goes down, in autumn, our family can buy less condiments at the spice shop..."

Shen Sisi smiled, and said: "I just don't know how many people are tempted to plant. I want to open the workshop quickly. It's useless if there are not enough raw materials. It's not a solution to just buy at the spice shop..."

She smiled and said, "However, everyone seeks profit. I think there should be a lot of people..."

Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "I think so. Now everyone in the village knows that following the Zhong family will not suffer. Don't worry, Tu Niu. When they plant it, we will build a workshop. It just so happens that the villagers in the village are also free." Yes, before the autumn harvest, hire more people, and it will be built sooner..."

"I'm not worried about manpower. There are quite a lot of young and middle-aged people in the village. It's just that it will take a lot of effort to clear out that piece of wasteland. It's big there, and there are a lot of broken stones..." Shen Sisi smiled and said, "How many times will it be?" Just invite some people, but, Dad, you said that there are too many people, and you can cook for them at home, can you come here?!"

"This is really..." Zhong Gensheng thought for a while, feeling that the family was really too busy, and said: "...how about asking for a helper, there are many women who are idle in the village."

"This is a way..." Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Otherwise, we will pay a few extra wages and not include lunch. We will see what the people in the village say. We just choose one, and we can't let them suffer. Our Zhong family won't benefit either..."

"This business, I will talk to them at that time, but I guess they may want more money. The villagers are living a tight life, and no matter how greedy they are, they have to think about the livelihood of the family. How much more money can they earn?" Wen, they will also choose to earn more money..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile.

Shen Sisi knew that Zhong Gensheng judged others by himself, and if he encountered such a thing, he would definitely choose a job with a few pennies more.Even if they are a little tired, or they don’t eat well, or they don’t include food, and they bring their own pancakes or something, the villagers are used to it, and they are probably not greedy people.

Shen Sisi had an idea in her mind, and said with a smile: "When Dad finishes collecting these, we have to sell the seeds, and the family has to get busy again..."

Anyway, since starting a business, the family has almost no free time. On the contrary, when the farm was renting and farming, once the busy farming was over, the weekdays were just weeding and watering. At other times, there was time to go up the mountain. Zhong Gensheng remembered It's really been a long time since I went up the mountain.

He smiled, thinking how could he be away from home at home, he was busy with all the work of harvesting pigs and feeding fish every day, plus farm work, and sometimes he had to go to the city to help or something. I'm too busy, sometimes I really want to split it in half and use it...

But seeing his family getting better and better, the busier Zhong Gensheng is, the happier he is.

The two were chatting in the yard, and Chang Sheng pricked up his ears to listen. After listening, he went back to the house. Han Ji was looking at the way of handling affairs in the camp. Some of them needed his approval to make decisions. It's a few days of leisure here, but he is still quite busy...

He raised his head and looked at Changsheng who was frowning and scratching his head in annoyance, so he put down the brush and said, "...what's wrong? Changsheng..."

"General..." Seeing that he was almost busy, Chang Sheng didn't mind disturbing him, he just said: "...After observing for a while, I always feel that the local girl is the one who makes decisions in this family, General, are you I didn't see her and Zhong Gensheng's tone when they talked, Zhong Gensheng basically always listened to him, and the four boys in the family, as well as He Axiu and Niu Xiaohua, basically as long as the Tu Niu spoke, they were very obedient. It's really strange... Can a child mature so early?!"

Han Ji was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and said, "I didn't pay attention..."

"I've been paying attention too. I heard some things secretly and saw some things..." Chang Sheng said, "If she sees us here, she won't speak in the same tone as us..."

"Why is it different?!" Han Ji said firmly.

"I can't explain it clearly. I always feel that she is like an ordinary child in front of us. She is fine except that she doesn't like to play. It's just that she gets along with Zhong's family differently..." Chang Sheng said: "Like an ordinary child." Mature adults, you have a good idea..."

"So, she's really precocious. She talks nonsense when she sees people..." Han Ji said softly.

Changsheng paused, nodded, and said, "...you can say that."

"However precocious, it proves that no matter how smart she is, it can't prove that she is a princess..." Han Ji said softly, "Have you gotten to know the villagers these days?!"

Chang Sheng showed embarrassment, and said: "Although the villagers are simple, they dare not gossip about the Zhong family with outsiders. It is only passed on in the village. I didn't dare to inquire carefully, for fear of being suspicious. I was busy with the harvest, so I couldn't find out more, but the children in the village, I asked a few more questions, and they didn't have any defenses, they said everything, but what they were talking about was just the local girls and Their relationship..."

"How to say?!" Han Ji suddenly became interested.

Changsheng said helplessly: "It is said that the local girl of the Zhong family is very powerful. They are a little afraid of her, not only the children of the same age, but also the older children. In the past, she could beat people for a bite. Fighting belongs to the kind of life-threatening. No one can beat her. She has also peeled and eaten snakes, caught fish, frogs, and eaten everything. She has also been on the mountain. Anyway, she is in the hearts of the children in the village. A true child king who belongs to the god-level and cannot be offended..."

Han Ji showed a smile, and said, "This child really deserves to be..." But hearing that she grew up eating these things, Han Ji felt very uncomfortable.

Changsheng smiled and said: "Don't be sad, general, there are more exciting things. Guess how the Zhong family got rich?!" He smiled and said: "It was made by the local girl, this child is really a powerful person At the beginning, she sold chestnuts to save some money, and then she started to have the capital to sell stewed pork. When selling chestnuts, she fried them and brought them into the city to sell them every day. She collected it from a few older children in the village. There was an Ergouzi who said at the beginning that he would charge a penny for a catty, but the Ergouzi refused to do it after hearing that she sold it for five cents a catty. , I fried it myself and sold it, but it turned out to be burnt, and I couldn’t earn the money and couldn’t sell it without technology, so I came back to her again, general, guess how the local girl took it? Gouzi led a few children and agreed. Now, the one who was taken in by the local girl... is helping their family to sell braised pork. In the afternoon, he also collects sauerkraut. I heard that he can earn a hundred dollars a day. It’s ten words, and the children in the village are quite envious..."

Han Ji laughed heartily after hearing this, and said, "This kid is really...insidious, haha."

Changsheng also couldn't laugh or cry, and said with a smile: "I heard the children say, it's like listening to a legend, it's really indescribable, general, I, hey..."

Han Ji's mood became very good for a while, he stood up with a smile and said: "If this child is really a boy, our Han family will... hey..." After thinking about it, he laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a daughter. I can't afford it..."

"She is tough. I heard that she beat a shrew named Tian Guihua with a broom in the village. She is Niu Xiaohua's mother. There is another story in it..." Changsheng saw that Han Ji's interest became more and more intense. Then he smiled and said: "General, listen to me slowly. I have heard a lot of interesting things in the village these days, and the general must laugh when he hears it..."

"Tell me, what's going on?!" Han Ji asked with a light smile, the interest in his eyes became more and more intense, and there was a doting smile on his face.

"This is also a public case. She sold the recipe for stir-fried chestnuts at the beginning, and she auctioned it in the village. In the end, Tian Guihua bought it for 18 taels of silver. Maybe she was not very reconciled. This woman has been staring at the clock. As for the family, something happened later, Tian Guihua wanted to use Niu Xiaohua to go to the Zhong family, but who knew that although the reputation of the Zhong family was damaged, Tu Niu made an agreement with Niu Laogen in private, and spent 20 taels of silver to transfer Niu Xiaohua to the Zhong family. Xiaohua bought it back home, and Tian Guihua was greatly stimulated, so she came to Zhong's house to spoil..." Changsheng said with a smile: "He Axiu is an honest woman, who is her opponent? Drive away, I heard from the children that many villagers saw the joke at that time..."
