The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 141 A sensation (2)
"Children can be taught... young people can be feared..." Master Li said with a smile while twisting his beard.

"My lord, according to the opinion of my subordinates, this matter needs to be reported to the imperial court immediately." Li lord saluted Mr. Feng and said.

Several officials next to him also echoed.

Naturally, every move during this period could not escape the eyes of Xuanyuanmo and Duanmuyu.

Mr. Feng thought for a while, he had a lot to consider, and he couldn't complete the dedication by himself, he was just a little grandfather, if he wanted to send something to the top, he would need layer by layer. To submit, during this period, he can't guarantee whether this method will be obtained by other people with ulterior motives, so even if he has a hundred heads, it's not enough!It's okay if you didn't find it, but if you found it, it was taken by outsiders. The result can be imagined.

Su Ling didn't continue to listen to this meeting, she knew that she couldn't help with the next thing, but ran to help harvest the sweet potatoes.

Xuanyuan Mo watched Su Ling run into the field, and then looked at Mr. Feng who was still immersed in his thoughts, he was not worried, anyway, he could suppress this matter, no matter who it was, he would not let them have a chance Spread the way of growing sweet potatoes.

At that time, Duanmuyu, when Su Ling went to the ground, he also went there, calling it to experience life, and as a result, his crescent-white robe was completely covered with sand.

When Xuanyuan Mo went back that day, he immediately sent an encrypted memorial back, and he did not hesitate to reveal his identity, so as to restrain Mr. Feng and tell him not to publicize the matter.

The next day, Grandpa Feng made a special trip to Huaxi Village to suppress the matter and prevent the villagers from publicizing it.

Although it was a suppression, the villagers couldn't stop the villagers from asking Su Ling's family. The Su Ling family also upheld the principle of abiding by Mrs. Feng's promise, and didn't fully answer the villagers' questions, but they didn't do so absolutely. Those who have the idea to buy sweet potatoes are still willing to sell them.After all, even if they don't sell them, the people who grow sweet potatoes in the village will still sell them. Now Su Ling is very lucky that he didn't spread the way of growing sweet potatoes.

After Mrs. Feng left, Su Ling's family rushed to deliver sweet potatoes home.Before the sweet potatoes were fully shipped to the house, someone came to the door with money.

The first person to come to the door was Mo Xiucai from Mojia Village, the family Su Mei married to. That's right, Mo Xiucai came in person, and he wanted to buy sweet potatoes.

This made Su's father a little worried. It's not good if he doesn't sell it to him, but if he wants to sell it, whether this sweet potato can be sold, and how much it should be sold for is a problem.

"Mo Xiucai, we are so close, my parents always miss your benevolence and take care of the villagers. If my sweet potato can be sold, you must have a share of it. It's nothing to say." Su Ling, who came out to deliver tea, laughed He said, "It's just, whether this sweet potato can be sold, and how to sell it, you have to allow us a little time, let's work out a regulation first."

Mo Xiucai had heard from his daughter-in-law about this little girl from the Su family, but he himself was seeing Su Ling for the first time.Seeing that this little girl is really as smart and agile as the rumors said, what she said is reasonable, and she respects and is kind to him, which makes people feel comfortable.

"Alright." Mo Xiucai got up to leave, but kept the money.

Su's father was naturally unwilling and backed down a few times, Mo Xiucai just refused to take the money away, Su Ling thought about it, and decided to accept it.Only then did Mo Xiucai leave satisfied.

"Ling'er, when Grandpa Feng left, he didn't leave a word. Can we sell this sweet potato? It's not good to keep Mo Xiucai's money." Father Su said.He is an honest man, and he kept Mo Xiucai's money. If he couldn't sell sweet potatoes to others, he would feel very disturbed.

"Yes." Su Ling nodded and said with certainty.If Grandpa Feng had arrangements for the sweet potatoes they harvested, he would have signaled when he left.But now it is just that they can't tell the method of planting, and if they don't say anything, it means that they can decide for themselves.

"Then how much should we count as a catty for this sweet potato?" Father Su asked.

Su Ling has been thinking about this issue for a long time.

"One tael of silver per catty." Su Ho interjected.

"The price must not be too high. After all, it is still being promoted, and blind dates don't have that much money to buy." Su Dong pointed out the problem.

Su Ling coughed dryly twice. In her previous life, sweet potatoes were not worth much at the beginning, and then the value of coarse grains has been rising. Of course, there are also factors of currency, goods, inflation, and inflation.However, the price of one tael of silver per catty of sweet potatoes is a bit outrageous.

So what is the right price for sweet potatoes?

One tael of silver per catty, Su's father and Su's mother both thought it was too expensive and unreasonable.However, sweet potatoes have not been popularized yet, and when people come to buy sweet potatoes, most of them are reserved for planting.Su Ling can foresee that when the sweet potato is popularized in the future, the price will become very cheap.But at this moment, the value of this sweet potato cannot be lowered.

"Then five strings of money for one catty?" Su Ling suggested.Five strings of money is five hundred Wen.

"It's still too expensive." Father Su said.

"Oh." Su Ling became thoughtful.Sweet potatoes are indeed different from corn. Corn can be used as a staple food throughout the year, while sweet potatoes are less valuable in this regard.Moreover, the price of selling sweet potatoes directly is different from selling them after processing.

"Father, why don't we do this." Su Ling thought for a while, and then expressed his thoughts, "We have more than 1 catties of sweet potatoes, let's keep more for ourselves. Let's keep half of it. The other half, we Eat some at home, pick the good ones, let’s save them until the beginning of next spring, how about we make sweet potato seedlings and sell them for money?”

Farmers, even if they spend a lot of money to buy sweet potatoes now, they have to store them until the spring of next year, and they have to grow their own sweet potato seedlings. This is undoubtedly difficult with the strength of a single family.But Su Ling's house is different, her house has a big place and can build a cellar specially for storing sweet potatoes.Moreover, their family already has the experience of growing sweet potato seedlings, so they will be familiar with it next year.

And selling sweet potato seedlings is definitely more profitable than selling sweet potatoes directly.Even if a higher price is set, it is easy to accept.

Doing so is for others and for oneself.

"That's good." After listening to Su Ling's words, Father Su immediately agreed.

Su Ling smiled, thinking to herself, she can be regarded as fully integrated into this family now.Even the thoughts are on the same beat as the family.In essence, the Su family is honest and simple farmers.Although they run a shop and do business, they still maintain their true nature as farmers.Simple, honest, and restrained, it has something to do with their life being close to the land.They also have the same quality as the earth.

And as businessmen, they are obviously not ruthless enough.

Su Ling discovered this when selling golden corn, and now, this feeling is even more profound.
