Chapter 9 Bets
Aunt Liu walked out of the house with an ugly face, but Aunt Li looked like she got her wish to watch your good show.
"Old man, our land can't be rented out." Aunt Liu's temperament doesn't know how to be tactful and tortuous.
Xiangcheng frowned, she knew that Aunt Li was the ghost, but now it was hard to say anything.
"Why can't you rent it? If the grass grows there, can't you rent it to others to grow vegetables? "Uncle Xiang has a good temperament, but he has a big problem that is known far and near, and he is afraid of his wife. On weekdays, there are only two old people in the family, and what the wife says is nothing, but now there are outsiders present, and the things that he just promised others were denied, and Uncle Xiang's face was a little unbearable.
"I just can't say no!" Aunt Liu is also a hot temper, "Aunt Li said, rent to others to grow things, and you can't grow any grain in the soil in the next year!" ”
Aunt Li blushed, she didn't expect Aunt Liu to sell herself so quickly. Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, Aunt Li has to insist on her own opinion, "My family is like this, after renting to others to grow things, the soil is also wasted, and the wheat planted by my family died as soon as it sprouted, and it was like this for two consecutive years." Lao Liu, don't lose a big deal because of a small one! ”
Orange finds it amuseful that there are two reasons why crops cannot grow in the field, one is that the soil is polluted by chemical fertilizers or industrial waste, and the other is that the soil does not have enough nutrients to support the growth of crops after many years of planting.
Your own Chinese cabbage seeds are transformed by spiritual power, if you add spiritual water and spiritual soil, even on the Gobi Desert, the crops will grow better and better, and the improved soil will also help the future crops grow.
It turned out that Aunt Li provoked it, Uncle Xiang couldn't sit still and scolded: "You mother-in-law! Whatever the people outside say is what it is! If you don't think about it, how can oranges be grown in the next year when they can't grow food? ”
As soon as he finished scolding, Uncle Xiang regretted it - Aunt Liu began to go crazy.
She lifted Uncle Xiang's ear and scolded: "You are an old immortal, the old lady will itch your skin if you don't beat you for three days, right!" Yes! How can elbows look like crutches, don't be young and beautiful and fascinate you? If you die, you will not be allowed to go to bed for three days! ”
Xiangcheng was helpless for a while, but he was unwilling, and people were terrible in the relatively closed countryside, even more so, if Aunt Li's words were spread, I am afraid that all the people in the township would not be willing to rent the land to themselves.
This tone has to be fought for!
Shen Xiangcheng was calm, hoping to reason with the other party, "Aunt Li, you can't say that." I only grow vegetables in the field, and I don't use pesticides or even chemical fertilizers, how can I pollute the land? ”
"Humph!" Aunt Li twisted her waist with a bucket, "Those of you who have studied in college are the most crooked and evil ways to take advantage of small advantages." ”
Xiucai met Bing, he couldn't explain the reason, and Shen Xiangcheng was completely speechless.
"Well, let's make a bet. Uncle Xiang and the eldest mother were witnesses. ”
Aunt Li said disdainfully: "What kind of bet?" ”
Xiangcheng's bright eyes rolled and kept smiling: "Your family's three acres of land can't grow any grain, right, you put it there is also a waste land, just waiting for the state subsidy every year." I rented all of your three acres of land for one month, and the price was 1,000 yuan per mu. ”
After a pause, he continued, "In a month, I will return the land to you, and you can continue to grow wheat then." If the wheat can sprout and grow, then I win, and after you harvest the wheat, you must lease the land to me again at a rent of 1,000 yuan per mu a year. If your wheat withers again, as it has been in previous years, I will compensate you for the loss of all your wheat yield. ”
Aunt Li was reluctant at first, but when she heard the price of Shen Xiangcheng, she couldn't help but be moved. The rent of one acre of land is 1,000 yuan a month, and the rent of three acres of land in your own family can be 3,000 yuan a month!
Farmland that only grows barren grass and can't grow crops can't be given away, let alone earning 3,000 yuan, isn't this a gold ingot falling from the sky.
"Is that true?" Aunt Li asked rhetorically.
Xiangcheng's smile became brighter and brighter, "Based on the word, I will pay you 5,000 yuan first, 3,000 is a deposit for three acres of land, and 2,000 is a deposit." Uncle Xiang and Aunt as witnesses. ”
It is a fool not to take advantage of it, not to mention that with 5,000 yuan in hand, Shen Xiangcheng even broke his promise and got 5,000 for nothing, Aunt Li said happily: "Okay!" That's it! ”
The incident developed too fast, and Aunt Liu couldn't react. Didn't Aunt Li say that she shouldn't rent out the land, why did she rent out her own land at a high price? Three three thousand yuan! Aunt Liu beat her chest and regretted it.
"You dead mother-in-law, it's all right!" Uncle Xiang finally found a chance to win back a city.
In order to try her best to recover her losses, Aunt Liu instantly changed her face and said, "That, Xiangcheng...... Do you see if our land is ......?"
Xiangcheng was not annoyed, "Uncle Xiang, don't worry." When Aunt Li's family grows wheat, do you think that the orange has not deceived everyone, and I will rent your land again, or the original price. ”
A day later, the orange harvest was abundant. The wasteland of his own family plus the land rented by Aunt Li has a total of four acres. If four acres of land are all grown with Chinese cabbage, it is a lot of income.
Xiangcheng is just a thin and weak little woman, and she doesn't have much labor, if she personally goes to the field to deal with the four acres of wild grass and then sow seeds, I don't know if the year of the monkey is gone.
In order to improve efficiency, what she has to do is recruit workers.
Most of the labor force in the countryside is left-behind women, and Aunt Li has seen it, and she was reluctant to deal with this type of person before she succeeded. These people are reluctant not to say it, and maybe there will be some gods and ghosts or sky-high prices.
Xiangcheng set her sights on recruiting students who had nothing to do at home during the summer vacation, and there were two reasons for this: first, the students had been working with adults since they were young, and they were no strangers to things like pulling weeds and sowing seeds; The second is that during the holidays, adults basically cut off the students' living expenses and pocket money, but the summer vacation is the time when the students are most short of money, and it costs money to buy snacks and go to the game hall in the town. If they are given a decent salary, the students will be willing to pay, and it can be regarded as a part-time job during the holidays.
Thinking of this, Xiangcheng wrote dozens of recruitment notices overnight, recruiting students who were at home during the holidays to work in the fields, including weeding, sowing, watering, daily maintenance of Chinese cabbage and later harvesting. The working time is one month, and the remuneration is 50 yuan per person per day, and every day is to take half of the day's salary of 25 yuan, and then take the rest after the work.
The average salary in Qingxia County is about 1,000 per month, and Shen Xiangcheng's salary can be regarded as high. , not to mention the fact that it is the first to take the money to work.
Such a special recruitment information attracted crowds of onlookers in the telephone poles and bulletin boards in the village.
The adults laughed at this college student who graduated from the city for being crazy, and he didn't know anything and recruited workers to farm.
The children at home during the holiday are cheering, as long as they do farm work every day, they can get 1,500 yuan a month.
"It's time to buy a phone!" The children smiled happily after submitting the application form.
