Chapter Ninety-One: The Village Meeting

Discuss all the matters, estimate the time at this point in the village basically have eaten, this era has not been broadcast, so there is something in the village to remind everyone to come to the meeting.

The village chief rummaged in the house for a long time before finding the gong, looked at Li Yuqing and muttered embarrassedly, "There has been nothing wrong in the village in the past few years, isn't this just idle." Just find it, just find it. ”

Li Yuqing said helplessly, "Yes, it's quick, I want to know how many people are willing to empty the land to grow potatoes." ”

"Okay, I'll go to the village and shout. After speaking, the village chief walked out with a gong on his head, and Li Yuqing followed him out when he saw him go out.

Along the way, the village chief played the gong and shouted, "It's a meeting, it's a meeting, it's a meeting, let's go to my door to gather." ”

Just after lunch, the villagers had nothing to do at home, or sat at the door making things, or slept in their rooms. The village chief shouted and called everyone out.

After a while, the village chief and Li Yuqing were followed by a group of people who were noisy, and a person behind couldn't help asking, "What is so grand about the village chief, we village monsters haven't had a gong meeting for several years." ”

The people around followed suit, "Yes, village chief, isn't there something big going on in our village?" ”

The village chief called around half of the village, although there were not many people in the village, but they couldn't bear to live far apart, and after calling for so long, their mouths were dry at this time, and they couldn't tell them in detail, "The villagers first dispersed and went to my door to wait, and when I went back, I will tell you, this is a good thing, if you don't come, you can't blame me." ”

After the village chief finished speaking, he struck the gong and shouted twice and walked forward, and the villagers were even more curious when they saw that the village chief did not answer, and heard him say that he would gather at the door of his house, and many people did not follow him and went directly to his house. There are also many people who do good things, thinking that they are idle and idle, so they continue to follow the village chief to shout in the village.

Half an hour passed, and the village chief finally finished calling the rest of the place, and copied a way back home, not to mention the village chief beating gongs and shouting along the way, Li Yuqing followed behind and was tired enough.

When the village chief returned home, he squeezed past the crowd gathered around the door, ran straight to the water tank, picked up the scoop and drank the water, regardless of whether it would hurt his stomach or not. Originally, when I saw the village chief coming over, I thought he was going to speak, but when I saw him go straight to the water tank at home, I thought that he should be thirsty enough to follow the person who came and stopped at the door.

The village chief drank a scoop of water to ease his strength, looked up and saw that there were so many people crowded at the door, washed his face and wiped his mouth. The village chief, who was originally noisy, stopped there, and suddenly fell silent.

The village chief deliberately hung the appetite of the villagers, coughed lightly twice and said, "Ahem, I think everyone is very curious, what did I call you to do today." After speaking, he didn't continue, put his hands behind his back, and looked at everyone with an unfathomable face, waiting for others' questions.

After a while, when the villagers saw that the village chief still did not speak, they were decided, and a short-tempered man asked, "If the village chief wants to say anything, he can say it quickly, and hang our appetites, okay?" Now that the sun is poisoning, why don't you say that we can leave?" he said and asked the others.

It's also said that people who have had lunch and have nothing to do take a break at noon. They only came over after the village chief had a meeting, and it has been almost half an hour now, and the village chief is still playing here. Some people are obviously not happy, "That is, I can go home and sleep." ”

The village chief, who originally wanted to brush up on his majesty, suddenly couldn't get off the stage, and said embarrassedly, "Don't be, don't I just say this." It's that Yuqing found a rare thing to plant in the village, and you also know that her family has no land, so let's see who can plant it this year and tell me. ”

"What, use our land to help Li Yuqing grow things, the village chief is not confused. A big man pointed to the village chief and said, Li Yuqing followed the voice, but saw that the man looked very familiar, and he didn't remember who it was after thinking for a long time.

The village chief originally felt that it was a good way to develop Lijia Village, but now he is unhappy when he hears someone say that he is not confused, and he also looks at the voice, and the new hatred and old hatred are even more out of control: "Li Dadon't be ashamed, you don't want to plant it."

It turned out that this person was Lai San's eldest brother Li Da, and since Lai San was kicked out, their family has not had the same nourishment as before. In the past, Lai San would bring home the stolen money or something, a little enough for them to eat some meat. Now that Lai San is not in their family, he is lazy, so he can only drink some gruel and eat some pickles, so he hates both the village chief and Li Yuqing. Of course, it's ironic to catch the opportunity now, otherwise who knows when there will be a chance in the future.

After listening to the village chief's name, Li Yuqing suddenly thought that when he looked at the man and the two men beside him, he looked disgusted, and sure enough, there was nothing good in the family.

Li Da was not happy when he heard the village chief say this, "The village chief can't say that, why don't we plant wheat for Li Yuqing, and what is she, an outsider." ”

After listening to Li Da's unrelenting words, the village chief's angry eyes widened, and he ignored him and explained to the rest of the people: "Villagers rest assured, people Yuqing said that the seeds planted this year are all inclusive, and they will be purchased uniformly when they mature in the future." If you don't want to plant it yourself, you can also contract the land to Yuqing, and she will pay for the rent. ”

When the villagers heard the village chief say this, they were not calm, "Really, there is such a good thing." ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Yuqing and waited for her answer, Li Yuqing saw the villagers looking at her, choking on a mouthful of saliva and coughing desperately, looking at the expressions of everyone with her spare eyes, and the breath that had already been smooth was unstable again.

After a while, he slowly recovered, looked at everyone embarrassedly and said, "Uncle is right, I will pack seeds if I want to plant, and I will sell them to others in the future, and the price is the same as wheat." If you don't want to plant, you can rent the land to me for the same price as someone else's rent. It is possible to owe a pledge to the contract. ”

"What, it's the same money as wheat, Yuqing, you're not crazy. What are the rarities of potatoes that are worth all this money? Not to mention, others were shocked when they heard it, and they were afraid that they were even taking a breath, they were dreaming, and they woke themselves up, and it was the first time that the village chief heard Li Yuqing say that it was not a sure thing to harvest potatoes so expensive.

Everyone reacted frightened by the village chief's exclamation, and they all looked at Li Yuqing waiting for her reply, Li Yuqing nodded funny, "Really, but the seeds I gave must be sold to me when they are ripe." If you sell it to someone else, be careful, I will sue the yamen so that he can't eat and walks around. ”

Everyone was relieved after listening to Li Yuqing's words, and some people became curious, and a person who had helped Li Yuqing in the past asked, "Yuqing, what is that thing you are talking about, and how is the harvest?" When they heard someone ask what was in their hearts, they listened with their ears open

"Don't hide it from everyone, that thing is called potatoes, as far as I know, an acre of land can produce thousands of catties, it depends on how you grow it. ”

"A few thousand catties!" After listening to what Li Yuqing said, they were not calm, they had planted wheat for so many years, and a good harvest wheat could not hit a thousand catties, this is still a good harvest, so potatoes are much stronger than wheat.

Immediately, there were many people who wanted to plant, and they squeezed in front of Li Yuqing one by one.
