Chapter 147: Regret

As the days passed, it was time to harvest the potatoes.

Because the weather here is relatively warm, which is similar to the current Guangdong side, the potatoes can be harvested in February and March.

However, the specific date of receipt is not yet known, so in recent days, people who grow potatoes have gone to the field more and more frequently, and some people have dug up a potato from time to time and held it in their hands to see.

Looking at the potatoes that are getting bigger and bigger day by day, everyone's face blooms with joy.

I thought in my heart that it was exactly what Li Yuqing said, on top of a potato seedling, you can dig out a few catties of potatoes, and according to the price of grain, planting potatoes is really a hundred times stronger than planting wheat.

Everyone trusts Li Yuqing more and more, and feels that they will definitely live better and better with Li Yuqing.

Those who didn't grow potatoes, when they knew the benefits of planting potatoes, regretted it one by one and their intestines were green. If you want to plant potatoes again, it's too late.

Because Li Yuqing, in order to monopolize the market in the future, he has already said in advance that potatoes will not be distributed to others to plant, and those who have already planted potatoes can continue to plant with the seeds left by their own families, but they cannot sell them to others without consent, nor can they give them to their relatives, otherwise they will have to report to the official for processing.

Because they had already signed a contract, it was clearly written that if they breached the contract, they would not only be fined, but also sent to the official.

So those who don't grow potatoes can only stare dryly.

Many villagers want to let the potatoes stay in the field for a long time, so that when the harvest time comes, they can harvest more.

But it backfired, when the potatoes grew to a certain extent, the vines slowly withered, and when they saw this, the villagers were unwilling, and they had to dig up the potatoes, and the province would rot in the ground at that time, and the gains outweighed the losses.

During the period of waiting for the harvest of potatoes, Li Yuqing's family was not idle, and even Li Minghao, a small bun, was busy with it.

Because after the New Year, the wild vegetables also came out, and she promised the shopkeeper Yao before to continue to supply wild vegetables, even if she is not short of money for digging wild vegetables now, but how to say that when they are most helpless, it is digging wild vegetables to make money to make them live better than before. So others are busy making potatoes, and her family is busy digging wild vegetables.

Thinking that the villagers had collected the potatoes, Li Yuqing was busy buying potatoes, so she had no choice but to hand over the matter of digging wild vegetables to the Sun family.

At first, Sun heard Li Yuqing say that she was very unhappy to hand over the matter of digging wild vegetables to her, even if Li Yuqing told her that wild vegetables cost ten yuan a pound, she was not moved at all, because her family also planted potatoes, and there were more than others, about three acres.

However, she regretted it after a few days, because after digging for a few days, she found that the potatoes were not as easy to dig as she imagined.

The people who planted potatoes in the village, a family of four or five, also dug for three or four days before digging more than one acre of potatoes. There are only two people in her house, she and Li Daniu, and she can't do it all the time, they also have a child at home, and they have to do laundry, cooking, and housework.

I thought I would persevere, but I got up early and worked in the dark for a few days, and I didn't finish harvesting her family's acre of potatoes.

I couldn't stand it anymore, and I remembered what Li Yuqing said about wild vegetables.

After another busy day, Sun was lying on the bed on this day, because he was too tired and couldn't sleep, looking at Li Daniu, who also turned over and couldn't sleep, Sun pushed Li Daniu and said, "Master, are you asleep?"

"Can't sleep, what's wrong with you"

"I just want to ask you, did you say that Yuqing's family did the work of digging wild vegetables, and did she hand it over to others. ”

"What's the matter, you want to do it again? Don't think about it, you see that we can't finish our own work, and there is time to take care of that. Li Daniu thought about the remaining two acres of land at home, sighed and continued, "It's not early, rest early, and get up early tomorrow." As he spoke, he turned over and slept with his back to Sun.

Seeing that Li Daniu really wanted to sleep, Sun quickly pushed him and said, "The master, I mean it seriously, I heard Yuqing say, that wild vegetable costs ten yuan a pound, you say, there are a lot of idle people in the village now, we want to find someone to help with the work, how much money do we need a day? If I go to dig wild vegetables, I can find someone to help me work for a day, so it is better than I am tired!"

After listening to Sun's words, Li Daniu turned around again, looked at Sun fixedly, and asked, "Yuqing really said that."

Sun saw Li Daniu looking at her like this, and nodded embarrassedly, "At that time, she came to me and said that she would hand over the work of digging wild vegetables to me, but I thought that there were so many things in my family, so I didn't agree."

"You ruined girl, Yuqing handed over such a good thing to you, it was someone else who couldn't find it with a lantern, and you still pushed it out, I really don't know, are you usually really smart or fake smart" Li Daniu said with a glaring after listening to Sun's words.

"Didn't I think about it that much at the time?"

"Okay, what's the use of talking about this now, you don't have to go to the field tomorrow morning, wait at home to see the rain and sunshine, you go and ask" Li Daniu said helplessly.

"Well, I got it."

"Don't think about it, go to bed early! It's been a busy day today," Li Daniu finished speaking, and after a while, there was an even breathing sound.

Sun looked at Li Daniu, who was already sleeping beside him, sighed, and secretly prayed in his heart that Li Yuqing would never hand over the work to others, and then slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Daniu went out to dig potatoes early, and Sun stayed at home until the eastern sky was a little exposed, and Li Yuqing took Li Yuxin to carry the basket and came down from the mountain.

Seeing the Sun family waiting at the door, Li Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and wondered if she had anything to find herself.

Holding the basket with Li Yuxin, he walked up quickly and asked, "Aunt Osmanthus didn't go to work today, is there something looking for me?"

Sun Shi was very embarrassed to see that you used to greet him with a smile before, because what he wanted to ask was rejected by himself before, but when he thought of it, he couldn't dig many potatoes even if he was too busy to die, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Yuqing, my aunt came to ask you with a cheeky face today, did you find someone else about the wild vegetables you said earlier?"

Li Yuqing was stunned, she didn't expect Sun to come over today, and she actually asked this question, she only told Sun about the wild vegetables, and after Sun disagreed, she didn't find someone else, but handed it over to Li Yuxin, and took the time to do it with her.

Originally, the purchase of potatoes was busy from morning to evening, but the wild vegetables were not done, so the villagers could only come and sell them in the afternoon.

Now Sun took the initiative to come over and ask, which shows that she is tempted, knows the benefits of digging wild vegetables and selling, and does not sell them to her, and directly says, "It's not busy now, so I haven't looked for anyone else except for what you think, but I will find it in two days, otherwise I will be really busy at that time."

"I really didn't look for anyone else, great, so do you think I can still do it now?" Sun was very happy after listening to Li Yuqing's answer, and said incoherently.

"Aunt Osmanthus, seriously, if that's the case, you have to have time, starting tomorrow morning, I'll teach you how to recognize wild vegetables first"

"Okay, okay, I must come early tomorrow morning, you must wait for me" After Li Yuqing's affirmation, Sun finally let go of the big stone in his heart.

After talking to Li Yuqing, he went home to prepare breakfast, delivered food to Li Daniu, and told him the good news by the way. (To be continued.) )
