Wang Jin and his entourage entered the small courtyard, and saw Qin Ziming playing with Wang Shi and Wang Tang in the front yard, he didn't know what he was holding in his hand, which attracted the two little babies to chase after him very vigorously. Wang Jin couldn't help but smile, they had been out for a while, and they were not very at ease when they put their younger brothers and sisters at home, but seeing them having fun at this moment, they also had a good impression of Qin Ziming.

When Qin Ziming saw that they were back, he stopped, handed the grasshopper in his hand to the two children to play with, and greeted Wang Jian and them.

"I don't know if Gongzi Jiang has taken the medicine or not, I feel inconvenient to live here, if there is something inappropriate, just tell me, you're welcome!" Chen said with concern.

"Auntie, don't say that, my son-in-law said that your place is more comfortable than living in the city, there are mountains, rivers and delicious food, and it is quiet, but it is a good place to recuperate!" Qin Ziming opened his mouth and boasted, hehe, anyway, the son doesn't know.

"Then please wait a little longer, and we'll go and prepare dinner." Wang Jin was still thinking about delivering food to the old village chief, and he had to hurry up sooner rather than later.

"Okay, okay, auntie, Miss Wang, go get busy, I'll help you chop wood!" So saying, he went to the firewood shed behind the house, and began to chop firewood in full swing.

Now this season is still green and yellow, most of the vegetables in the field have only been planted for two days, and they can't be eaten, and considering that the village chief is old, it is better to make some fine and affordable, and it is good to eat and send it, Wang Jian and Chen discussed making a round of wontons, and it happened that there were some wild camellia that were dug back two days ago. Because there are many people in the family, the village chief's family can not send less, so Chen grabbed a few catties of flour to revitalize the noodles, Wang Hibiscus picked and washed a basket of camellia, blanched and chopped, mixed with fried and mashed eggs, and then grabbed a large handful of oil residue left over from squeezing lard the day before yesterday and chopped it in, mixed the stuffing carefully, and added salt and shallots to adjust the taste, and Chen's skin was also ready. The mother and daughter cooperated tacitly, but in a quarter of an hour, two large drawers and more than 100 wontons were wrapped, all of which were white and fat with big bellies. Wang Mu and Wang Tang knew that the wontons were made at home, so they kept watching and refused to leave, and when the first pot of wontons came out of the pot, they were put into a porcelain bowl with a blue and white bottom with bone broth, and sprinkled with green onions, and the saliva kept flowing.

"Shi'er Tang'er, this is for the village chief's grandfather, today the village chief's grandfather helped our family, should we make something delicious and send it over?" Wang Jian gently taught her younger brothers and sisters.

“… Well, if you want to send it, Shi'er will send it! Wang Shi swallowed his saliva, hesitated, and was difficult but determined. When Wang Tang heard his brother say this, he didn't make any noise, and nodded obediently.

Wang Jin is very pleased, although Wang Shi is usually naughty and active, and he is not as calm as Wang Mu, but after all, he is also sensible and obedient, and rarely really causes any trouble. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her well-behaved younger brothers and sisters, she turned to Chen and said, "Mother, let's give Shi'er and Tang'er a taste of this bowl first, and I'll make a bowl of rabbit meat and send it later." ”

In fact, the Chen family also felt sorry for their son and daughter, if the royal father was still there, where would they eat a wonton and still be hungry like this. Thinking like this, when she heard Wang Jin's words, she didn't stop her, but went to take out the simple table that was put away by the wall and opened it, and took two small stools for Wang Shi and Wang Tang to sit on, put the big bowl of wontons on the small table, and took the bowl and chopsticks to the two children, and said lovingly: "Eat slowly and be careful, and your eldest sister will make rabbit meat for you two to taste!" ”

"Thank you mother and eldest sister!" The little doll smiled as brightly as a flower and ate it to its contentment.

Looking at the lovely smiling faces of her younger brothers and sisters, Wang Hibiscus felt full of strength for a moment, she quickly chopped the rabbit meat that had been washed at noon and marinated in thin salt, exploded the pot with hot oil, added the chopped dried chili peppers and green onions and garlic, stir-fried the fragrance, poured in the rabbit meat and stir-fried, poured soy sauce and rice wine, thought about it, and added some delicious snow mushrooms from Aunt Li's house in the village, and simmered for a while before coming out of the pot.

Wang Jin served a few pieces to his eager siblings, and went out with a food box and a large bowl of rabbit meat.

The village chief's house is in the southeast of the village, about three miles away from Wang's house, Wang Jin's foot is fast, it takes more than a quarter of an hour to arrive, and the villagers who meet them carrying hoes home on the way stop to say hello. When they arrived at the village chief's house, just in time for them to set up a meal, Wang Jin and the eldest daughter-in-law of the village said a few polite words, and said a bunch of thank-you words to the village chief who didn't want money, so that the old man Li couldn't find the north, so he went back with the empty food box.

During the meal, Village Chief Li first scooped a wonton to eat, chewed it a few times, his eyes lit up, and then tasted the oily and attractive rabbit meat, he couldn't help nodding again and again, and praised: "This Wang girl's cooking skills are really good, you all taste it." ”

The whole family couldn't wait for a long time, and cleared the plate in a few clicks. Village Chief Li's youngest grandson shouted: "The dishes made by Sister Wang are really delicious, much better than those made by my mother!" ”

Village Chief Li smiled on his face, touched his grandson's head, and didn't know what he thought, so he turned his head and instructed his son and daughter-in-law: "It's not easy for the orphans and widows of the Wang family now, let's take care of it more." Everyone agreed.

It was said that Wang Jin had a hurried meal after returning home, and then went back to the room to sort out the title deeds he received in the afternoon. Her family has a total of 41 tenants in Qingshui Village, and today she has received a total of 78 acres of land lease, and it is estimated that someone will come to rent land in the next few days, which is better than imagined, and when she can really achieve a yield of 200 catties per mu next year, there will definitely be more people to rent land to her. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this first step was successfully completed. The sand was arranged, and the pond, which was more than one acre and less than two acres, should also be used, and thinking of this, she immediately spread out the paper, and carefully calculated and planned it by the light of the oil lamp.

When the moon was in the sky, the courtyard was silent, and the occasional breeze blew through, bringing up the rustling of the leaves of the camphor tree in the corner. A small, slender figure was printed on the window of the west wing, and he kept his head bowed and held a pen until the middle of the moon.

After Jiang Qingliu and the others washed up after dinner, Qin Ziming whispered to Jiang Qingliu in detail what he had seen and heard in the afternoon. It turned out that he had been following Wang Jin and a few others, and then he hid in the meadow near the shed at the head of the field, and saw the situation clearly and clearly, and later secretly ran back when Wang Jin was in full swing to sign the deed, so Wang Jin would see him playing with the two children when he entered the door. When Jiang Qingliu heard him say that the tenants had chosen the second method that Wang Jian had said, and had signed a three-year contract on the spot, he couldn't help but have a little funny smile on his face.

"Childe, do you say that Miss Wang can really guarantee that the cotton yield per mu is more than 200 catties? Listening to the meaning of the village chief, it would be good to have a hundred catties. Qin Ziming was puzzled.

Jiang Qingliu took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile: "Then when we escaped death this morning, did you guess that it was actually a cardamom girl who saved us?" ”

Qin Ziming suddenly suddenly said, "Also, this little girl Wang really can't be inferred with common sense." You see that she was not only not frightened to faint when she saw that bloody and thrilling scene at a young age, but also saved us with a good archery skill, this kind of heart and courage is indeed rare, maybe she really has some way to increase the yield of cotton. ”

"I'm afraid that her excellence is not only her heart and guts, but her ability to fool people is not weak." Jiang Qingliu's tone was tinged with appreciation and playfulness. Seeing Qin Ziming's ignorant face, although Min Chong still had no expression, there seemed to be confusion in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh, even feeling that the sound was rare. He put down the teacup, sat cross-legged, and explained: "What Miss Wang did today is actually only one purpose, which is to sign a three-year lease contract with the villagers. The Wang family has only been in Qingshui Village for three months, and they are not familiar with the villagers, and her family is now in difficulty in making a living, so those tenants are inevitably worried that her family will increase their rent. Miss Wang first said that the villagers had the grace of accepting and helping her family, and then asked Wang Mu, as the eldest son of the family, to come forward to thank him solemnly, showing affection and righteousness, and won the favor of the villagers in a few words, and took off her guard, yes or no? ”

Qin Ziming thought about the situation at that time, and indeed said the same as Gongzi, so he couldn't help nodding again and again, and added: "After the little boy said this, the tenants below became enthusiastic, and he said it to Gongzi at all!" ”

As if remembering something, Jiang Qingliu asked with a hint of amusement in his eyes, "You said that Miss Wang deliberately pointed out the identity of Wang Mutongsheng?" ”

"Yes, Miss Wang spoke very loudly at that time, and I could hear it clearly when I hid in the grass behind me." Qin Ziming replied with certainty.

"Haha..."Jiang Qingliu couldn't help but chuckle and looked at the two entourages opposite.

"Ahem," he easily stopped laughing, and said, "It seems that Miss Wang has put a lot of effort into convincing these tenants of her family. Wang Mu was only ten years old when he obtained the qualification of a child, and in the eyes of these countrymen, he must have a bright future, so that no one would despise and bully the Wang family because there were only orphans and widows, and he would definitely have scruples in his future actions. Moreover, many words are not weighty enough for Wang Jin, but they are much more convincing for Wang Mu, a scholar and the future head of the Wang family. Therefore, although Wang Mu only stood up and said two sentences from beginning to end, his effect was very significant. Qin Ziming nodded again and again when he heard this, thinking that I saw it with my own eyes, how could my son know better than me?

I heard Jiang Qingliu continue: "Before talking about the tenant rent of the paddy field, Miss Wang deliberately emphasized that her family is also living very hard now, so that everyone feels that the Wang family would rather go hungry than increase the rent of the tenants, and she is even more grateful. She didn't spend a penny, she sold a lot of benefits and favors to these tenants without spending a line, and it seemed that she suffered a loss. Thinking of the bone broth, chicken, and rabbit meat he ate today, Wang Jin's image in Qin Ziming's heart immediately turned into a little fox.

But that's still not Miss Wang's purpose. She then threw away the plan to lease the land to grow cotton, promised a good reward, and promised a high yield per mu, attracting tenants to sign a three-year contract with her, which was her ultimate goal. Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head and asked Qin Ziming: "Do you think the tenants made a profit or a loss by signing this contract?" ”

Qin Ziming thought about it seriously and said, "If Miss Wang can really grow two hundred catties of cotton per acre, the wages of one acre of land can be one or two silver." Five buckets of rice are worth a hundred yuan, plus the cotton sent, the tenants can get a lot of money, this transaction is really not a loss. ”

"It's not just that it's not a loss, but these tenants have taken advantage of it!" Jiang Qingliu sighed.

"Childe, what do you mean by that?" Qin Ziming didn't know why.

"Do you know why Miss Wang only signed a three-year contract, instead of five or ten years?" Seeing that Qin Ziming was dumbfounded, he continued: "Although first, due to the consideration of the situation, it is too long, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the villagers to accept it, and secondly, I am afraid that Miss Wang is going to make this cotton technique public in three years and teach it to these tenants!" ”

Qin Ziming was shocked and speechless, he has traveled south and north with Jiang Qingliu in the past few years, and he also has some insight in business. If Wang Jin really masters the technology of increasing cotton production, then with the value and demand of cotton in the market today, as well as the wide range of cotton planting in the Jokhang Kingdom, she can rely on this monopoly technology to show her strength in the cotton market and become a giant in this industry! So why did Wang do this, and didn't she understand what the technology meant? According to Jiang Qingliu, Wang Jin is definitely not an ignorant girl who doesn't understand anything, so she must have a deep meaning in doing this.

As if seeing the doubts in his heart, Jiang Qingliu sighed lightly: "I'm afraid that she wants to use this technique to take root and make a name for Wang Mu in Qingshui Village." "The first method she proposed, which at first glance is good and cheap, actually has a lot of faults. First of all, the tenants' fields are scattered everywhere, and it is extremely inconvenient to manage, and it is even more difficult to prevent if someone deliberately makes trouble, and secondly, if she really grows a high yield, there will definitely be people who will be watching, and I am afraid that it is not one or two, after all, this is a great temptation for the peasant people, so will she prevent it when the time comes? The Wang family is an outsider, and if it is handled improperly, it is likely to cause opposition and attack by the entire Qingshui Village, and even persecution. Driven by interests, what can't people do? In the second way, since she chose to let the tenants grow their own, then no matter how secret she is, the planting know-how will definitely be slowly discovered, and once the three-year lease period is over, the villagers have learned seventy-seven eighty-eight, and they must all want to grow cotton by themselves, so naturally they will not renew it. But they are likely to still not grasp the key to it, at this time let Wang Mu stand up, in return to the name of the township, free of charge to teach the villagers to plant cotton, then Wang Mu's status and reputation in the village will not be the same, and because of the cotton planting technology can bless the descendants, passed down for hundreds of generations, his Wang family can not only gain a firm foothold in this Qingshui Village, but also win the respect and gratitude of the villagers from the bottom of their hearts. Even if Wang Mu fails to do anything in the future, this action can also leave the descendants of the Wang family, and his status in Qingshui Village is transcendent. Miss Wang's open-mindedness and vision are really admirable! ”

Min Chong and Qin Ziming were shocked when they heard this, how did a little girl who was only thirteen years old think of this?

Jiang Qingliu was also very emotional in his heart, and before going to bed, he couldn't help but ask himself, if it was himself, would he be able to have such courage and determination?

However, if Wang Jian heard Jiang Qingliu's words, he would definitely shout monsters, why was he guessed everything?!
