Splendid little maid

Chapter 186
This is a big yard.

Other normal people have also served refreshments in advance and greeted everyone to take their seats.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief when she entered the house, and said to the simple and honest man: "The harvest is not good this year? Why is this group of people making trouble? It's so scary."

In the past, they just came up to borrow some money and brought the juniors to ask for some red seals. This year, they just brought them to block the entrance of the village. Isn't it just to scare people?

Hearing this, the Hanhou said with an embarrassed smile: "Recently, it's really difficult, but the days are barely bearable. The village chief told them not to make trouble, and they can't be stopped."

The old lady was upset when she heard the words, and sighed again: "Poor those children." Her old man couldn't bear to see the dirty clothes.

After thinking about it, she asked Pei Qin to come over, and said: "Go ahead, give some red seals to the juniors, they have kowtowed too much, how can I give them a return gift."

Just treat her as an elder to celebrate the new year for the younger generation, even though she came a bit late.

Pei Qinfu turned around and left, and called Pei Qi and Pei Shu along the way. There are so many people around the old lady, and they don't need to wait on them for the time being.

It was enough to have Pei Hua, and Pei Hua skillfully approached the old lady to serve her, and the old lady was much more relieved seeing her maidservant being so caring.

He laughed cheerfully, and returned to his loving appearance. When he asked about the recent situation of the simple and honest man, he didn't complain, but just talked about the recent situation in a normal way.

"The food in this field is not easy to grow now, but the mulberry tree grows better than the crops. I just wanted to ask you, old man, how about we plant mulberry trees instead?"

The simple and honest man suddenly raised his opinion like this, he must have been thinking about it for a long time.

As soon as the old lady heard it, she said, "Really? Now mulberry trees are better than grain?"

The man nodded seriously and said: "No, the price of an acre of mulberry trees is more than that of grain. Recently, silk in the market is selling well. There are many people raising silkworms, so the price has gone up. Not only me, but everyone Trying to find a way to go.”

It's just that a lot of land in this village doesn't need to pay taxes, and it's all owned by the Huang family in the city. They only help plant and exchange some wages.

Chen Xi pondered for a while and said, "In this case, why don't you raise silkworms yourself?"

Everyone was stunned by this remark, and they never thought that there was such a possibility.

No.

Mainly there is no capital.

Their own land is basically difficult to feed and clothe. They all rely on the tax-free land of the Huang family to earn some money for them, otherwise they really can't live on.

Their lives are tight, even if they have that idea, they dare not bring it up.

Who would have thought that a little girl would dare to imagine, and even more dare to speak her own opinion.

Everyone couldn't help but look at her.

The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she asked with a smile: "It's you girl, your little head turns very fast, come on, come and talk carefully."

Of course, Chen Xi's daring to behave is due to the fact that the young master will protect her, so he dares to do so. If not, interrupting the master's conversation is actually a very risky behavior.

Of course, those who are favored say otherwise.

She is very confident now.

"Actually, I have nothing to do. I just think that others can make money by buying mulberry leaves and raising silkworms. If we buy silkworms and raise them ourselves, wouldn't we be able to earn more?"

Of course this makes sense.

The old lady was very happy to see this girl who was bold and thoughtful, and she was eloquent. After all, she was a big maid who followed her little grandson.

She laughed heartily when she heard the words, and said: "You girl is right, you really make money later, if you have a share, then follow what she said, the price is good recently, then we will raise it ourselves." Silkworms, silkworms don’t cost you money, I’ll send some to other farms to distribute some for you to try.”

Chen Xi was also stunned when he heard the words, he didn't think for a moment that Huang's family started out as a fabric maker, and now there are quite a lot of farms and fabric dyeing workshops, so it's not impossible to even out some silkworms.

But you have to be rich and powerful to solve the people's livelihood plan casually. You can see that the honest and honest man can smile.

Sure enough, he led other villagers who were afraid to speak up to thank them.

The old lady just waved her hand and said: "It's not too difficult, just try it, if you can live well, I, as an elder, will feel more secure."

Only those clansmen who went so far away for an unknown number of generations nodded in agreement.

The honest and honest man couldn't hold back his words, and when he saw the village head coming, he sneaked away to announce the good news, thinking that he might be able to earn such a fortune by raising silkworms in the future!

The old lady was also amused to see his happy face. Now she has a prosperous life, her biggest wish has been fulfilled, and she has nothing left.

So I was also happy to see that man happy like this because of such a small matter, knowing that just doing something simple was enough to make them love him.

Of course, the village chief came over to chat with him with a shy face, and said: "I learned in the morning that you are always coming, and the troupe has invited me to wait for you. , just to see something fresh."

The old lady was not happy about being coaxed, she said cheerfully: "This is a good feeling, I haven't seen it for a long time, I still come back often when I am young."

The village chief smiled and said that was not the case, and then changed the topic: "It just happens to be lively and lively with your banquet. Look at you, why do you bring so many things back? This can't be held for three days and three nights." Water seats?"

He also trembled when he thought of the piles of meat, it was all joy.

Not to mention the other group of children who were waiting to be fed. They took great pains to stop them, otherwise they would all jump on them, and they would be gone if they dragged one piece home.

This hungry kid doesn't want to reason with you, he's been a little out of control recently.

The old lady said cheerfully: "It's okay, let's put it on, let everyone be lively, and let the ancestors look at the joy, let's let people put it down!"

The village chief was delighted after hearing this, coaxed the old man a few words, and seeing that she was in a good mood, he said obliquely: "This is not easy in our village, and it is not easy in other villages. No, our ethnology is all Relying on taking children from other villages to earn some money, and then sending children from our own clan to school, life is hard, because if other people don’t go to school, our clan doesn’t earn any money.”

The old lady has been giving money throughout the year, but there are too many people.

When she heard the words, she also knew that she was sending money when she came back. Fortunately, her family was rich and could afford the money, so she said, "When Pei Qin comes back, I will ask her to withdraw some money for you to buy for the children. Some pens and inks."

She is more willing to spend on this, and she originally planned to do so.
