Chapter 27: Negotiations

The people in the village are not stupid, they all know that drying yam tablets makes some money, but it is just a little troublesome, and they all chose to dry the yam tablets without hesitation.

The people who have been digging yams for the past few days began to rejoice, and there were a lot of yams piled up at home in the past few days, seven or eight catties of dried yam tablets, and two families piled up more than 200 catties at home, which is not a small amount, at least it can be sold for more than 300 yuan, which is not a small amount.

As for Su Banxia's credit, although he was a little worried, he didn't take it to heart, the Jiang family and Su Banxia had very good character, and they didn't worry about the two of them defaulting on the debt, and besides, they begged to come to the door, and the village chief also sold a lot of favors.

On the second day, there were a lot of people who went up the mountain, except for Zhu Chunlian's family, the rest basically went up the mountain.

This also led to Su Banxia and the others seeing a lot of acquaintances when they went to the mountains.

A group of people have been digging yams in the mountains recently, and they know where they have dug and where they haven't, so they let the group go mountain after mountain, but fortunately the neighborhood is very safe, and they don't worry about any danger.

Aunt Jiang can be regarded as a know-it-all, and the big and small things that happen in the village can't hide from her eyes.

Su Banxia saw that Aunt Jiang said with relish, and said, "Does Zhu Chunlian want to go to the town's medical hall to sell yams?" ”

Aunt Jiang nodded with a smile, and said mysteriously: "Last night, she went to Caifeng's house and wanted Caifeng to follow her to the town, saying that since the medical hall accepts your yam, it will accept everyone's yam, Caifeng refused at that time, so Zhu Chunlian and Su Xiaoshi went to the town early this morning." ”

She already knew that the shopkeeper Li of the medical hall only accepted the yams sent by Su Banxia, and it was useless for Zhu Chunlian to jump high, so she was happy to see Zhu Chunlian's jokes.

Xie Sanqi said with a dark face: "That woman is not a good thing, and so is Mrs. Cui, Banxia, you take care of them." ”

Taoren nodded again and again on the side: "Brother is right, don't bother with that family." ”

Su Banxia gently poked Taoren's forehead with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Don't care, just wait for them to run for nothing, the vines are withered and yellow, and it's about to snow, it is estimated that you can dig for more than ten days before you can dig yams, everyone work hard, take advantage of this time to dig more, you can earn more, as for what is the way to make money next year, I will definitely not forget the two of you." ”

Xie Sanqi was taken aback, worried and asked, "Won't we dig up herbs and sell them next year?" ”

Su Banxia shook his head and said: "It's better in spring, there are more snakes in the mountains in summer and early autumn, and the danger is greater, I'm thinking of other ways to make money, but the land in the back mountain is sandy, and you can't make much money from growing food, have you ever thought about directly planting yam next year?" ”

She knew that nothing could grow in the fields in the back mountains, and even if she planted corn or sorghum, she wouldn't be able to harvest much food.

Planting yam in the sand is the best, there is no good yam in this era, but the yam dug in the mountain is also very good, at least the size will be very large, you can see it by looking at the yam in the mountain alone, the yam dug by luck is not much smaller than her arm, if it is planted, and it takes a little more thought, it must be stronger than planting sorghum and the like.

No one in the village had ever grown yam before, and the traditional idea was to grow food such as corn, wheat or sorghum.

Yams will not be planted too much even if they are planted, there are wild yams in the mountains, just dig wild yams, and waste time and energy! This is the truest thought in everyone's hearts.

I didn't know that yams could be sold for money before, but now that I know that yams can be sold for money, Aunt Jiang didn't have to think about it and said directly: "I will plant next year, my family has three acres of sandy land, what was the loss of planting before, last year I planted wheat, but I was eaten by rabbits and a group of wild boars that slipped out of the group, and those wild boars are also strange, every year only when the grain is about to mature, you look at this winter, you can't see the wild boars if you want to see them, and you don't know where to hide." ”

Xie Hua, who had not spoken, took over and said: "The wild boar is in the deeper mountains, and my family also has a few acres of sandy land. ”

So, Aunt Jiang and Xie Hua both decided that next year, the sand land would not be used to grow other crops, but all of them would be used to grow yams.

Su Banxia is still very pleased with the decision made by the two, the yam must be more profitable than other crops, at most it is a little troublesome, when the time comes, go to the place where the yam vine has a place to tie the vine, and the yam will definitely grow very well.

What Su Banxia didn't expect was that when he got home in the afternoon, someone sent the yam directly, and the person who sent the yam was still the Caifeng mentioned by Aunt Jiang today.

Caifeng is about thirty years old, with dark skin, not tall, slightly fat, very ordinary, gentle to people, and not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble.

Looking at the basket in front of the thatched shed, I didn't understand Caifeng's behavior: "Auntie, this is?" ”

Although Caifeng is young, her man is an elder, and his generation is the same as her father's, so she calls her aunt.

Caifeng smiled heartily and said: "I'm a rough person, I can't do those delicate jobs, if I really want to slice and dry these yams, I guess I can't do it, and there are dustpans that I haven't dried at home, I can't borrow them if I want to borrow them at this time, so I have to send them directly." ”

Su Banxia didn't say anything else when she heard Caifeng's explanation, but said, "Mother, go and borrow the scales from Aunt Osmanthus's house, and then ask Brother Sanqi to come over to help." ”

As he spoke, he patiently picked out the yams in the basket of Caifeng, don't break it too much, and remove the soil if there is soil on it.

Careful when doing this, Caifeng watched it for a while and cleaned it up, putting the good ones on the ground.

Jiang came back soon, and Xie Sanqi followed behind with the scale.

The yams have been selected, the ones that are too broken are not wanted, and those with broken thumbs are also put aside, and the weighing is Xie Sanqi and Xie Hua, who dared to come to help later, together with Xie Sanqi, adding up to a total of fifty-two catties.

Su Banxia was worried about how to remember the numbers, but when she saw Su Yuanyuan walking leisurely on the road, she hurriedly stepped forward to invite her.

With Su Remote's help, it is not a problem to record these, Su Remotely found a booklet, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, quickly wrote Caifeng's name, and recorded the number of catties later.

Although Caifeng was illiterate, she believed in Su Yuanyuan and left satisfied.

Su Banxia pondered and asked Su Yuanyuan to help, so he was idle all day and had nothing to do, and told him about the record, and Su Yuanyuan agreed very quickly.

Jiang and Su Banxia didn't dare to delay, sent Su Yuanyuan away, thanked Xie Sanqi and his son, and began to clean up the yams, preparing to slice and put the dustpan today, and just take it out to dry early tomorrow morning.

This busy work was directly until midnight to finish cutting the yams, more than fifty catties is not a small amount, plus the dozen catties of yam she dug up on the mountain, which made her have a sore back.
