Chapter 105: The Promotion of Potatoes

The next day, Liu Meiniang went to the mountain.

During the time when he and Zhang Jihan were busy in the supermarket, they invited Uncle Zhang to come to the house to help take care of the chickens and fish on the mountain, and the family's weaving workshop has also been operating, and a lot of cloth has been woven during this period of time. Zhang Li said that many people in the village came to buy chickens and fish, because they were from the same village, Zhang Li was embarrassed to refuse, and sold them at a low price. Even some people in the village, in the name of acquaintances, catch chickens today and catch fish tomorrow without paying, and they don't have a problem.

The most hateful thing is that Zhang Jihan's five uncles and aunts came again, not only took away three chickens and two fish, but also threatened to come back after eating.

After hearing Zhang Dandan complain about this, Liu Meiniang had no choice but to sigh, what she was most afraid of was this kind of vampire relative.

said that Zhang Jihan's five uncles and aunts were like this, and her uncles and aunts were not the same.

Liu Meiniang took out some spiritual spring water from the mountain, diluted it and poured some for the fish pond and chicken coop.

"Oops?!" Suddenly, something came out of the grass, and the frightened Liu Meiniang jumped up directly.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi has grown very big, because he often runs outside, except for Zhang Dandan, the rest of the Zhang family rarely sees Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi is like a naughty child, after the prank was successful, he kept circling around Liu Meiniang, and licked Liu Meiniang's hand with his tongue.

"You popped up and scared me." Liu Meiniang pretended to be angry and rubbed Xiao Qi's dog head, Xiao Qi screamed, and Liu Meiniang also laughed.

It's no wonder that so many people like to pet their dogs.

Liu Meiniang wants to put the supermarket into operation as soon as possible, and the supply of chickens and fish is best made into a production chain and fully standardized industrialized operation.

After picking some greens and digging a few potatoes on the mountain, Liu Meiniang went home.

When I wait for tomorrow, I will directly take Zhang Jihan and Zhang Tongtong to dig out all the potatoes.

When she got home, Liu Meiniang made potato noodles and stir-fried green vegetables.

In the afternoon, he carried a few potatoes to the village chief's house.

"Can you eat the stone fruit?" The village chief's eyes widened in surprise after hearing Liu Meiniang's words.

"Yes, village chief, our family has been eating stone fruits since a month ago." Liu Meiniang pointed to Zhang Jihan on the side, and Zhang Jihan nodded cooperatively.

"However, people in the village have died eating stone fruits before." The village chief said in deep thought.

What Liu Meiniang said just now is really incredible.

Liu Meiniang said that the stone fruit can not only be eaten, but also used as a staple food, and the most important thing is that the stone fruit is particularly easy to survive, even in the barren sandy land, the stone fruit can also grow.

"Village chief, the sprouted stone fruit will be poisoned after eating, and such a stone fruit is not poisonous." Liu Meiniang took out a potato from the basket and handed it to the village chief's daughter-in-law.

It was the biggest potato she'd ever dug up this afternoon, and she had brought them all.

"Yes, village chief. Stone fruit can be eaten, cooked, and noodles can also be made. In response to Liu Meiniang's words, Zhang Jihan said loudly. Liu Meiniang couldn't help but laugh when she heard Zhang Jihan's words.

It was vermicelli made from potato flour, but Zhang Jihan and they wanted to call it noodles.

"What Ji Han said is true?" The village chief asked.

"Village Chief, is it necessary for Mei Niang to lie to you?" Liu Meiniang playfully retorted.

"That's it, village chief, auntie, you come to my house for dinner this afternoon, and I'll cook a meal for you with stone fruits." There was really no convincing force in speaking, and Liu Meiniang decided to prove it directly with her actions.

"Okay, then we'll come over for dinner in the afternoon." The village chief thought about it and decided to shoot the case.

He is the head of a village, if Liu Meiniang said that this thing can really be done, it can be regarded as benefiting the people in the village, and in the future, he will enter the ancestral hall, and his face will be bright. Maybe you can still receive the admiration of future generations.

Zhang Youwen felt his blood boiling when he thought of this.

"Okay, village chief, then I'll go back and prepare, and I'll give these potatoes to my aunt to eat." Liu Meiniang put the basket directly on the ground of the village chief's house and left.

"Ji Han, you go to the mountains to catch a chicken, and then get a fish back." Liu Meiniang quickly instructed on the way home.

Zhang Jihan sighed, and went directly to the mountain without even going back home.

"Dandan, come over and help." Liu Meiniang washed her hands in the yard and shouted when she entered the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Dandan didn't come, and the person who came was Zhang Tongtong.

"Dandan went to play with Fangfang in the village, not there." Zhang Tong said unnaturally at the kitchen door.

"Oh, then if you're okay, come and help me, the village chief will come to the house for dinner in the afternoon." Liu Meiniang added water to the pot.

Zhang Tongtong didn't say anything, sat on the stove and started to light a fire.

Liu Meiniang looked at Zhang Tongtong's appearance, and she was quite relieved.

This girl is finally slowly passing the rebellious period.

In order to prove that potatoes can really be eaten, Liu Meiniang made a table of potatoes for dinner.

A large plate of chicken is the main dish, what shredded potatoes, hash browns, potato flour, a large table fills.

"Mei Niang, your yard is so beautiful." The village chief's daughter-in-law came in from outside and said in admiration.

As soon as she came in, she looked everywhere, especially shocked by the thatched toilet in Liu Meiniang's house, such a clean place, cleaner than many people's homes in the village, and all the ground was paved with marble, is it really a thatched toilet?

"Auntie, village chief, come and eat." Liu Meiniang took off her apron and greeted.

The village chief who ate a potato feast was convinced.

"Do you still have the seeds of the stone fruit?" The village chief asked after eating, smoking a dry cigarette.

"I planted some stone fruits on the mountain, all of them are ripe, and this time I can keep them all as seeds." Liu Meiniang said.

"Thank you so much, Mei Niang, you are really the lucky star of Liuhe Village." The village chief said seriously.

"Village Chief, what are you talking about, I am also from Liuhe Village, this is what I should do, if the people in the village can be fed and clothed, everyone will be happy, right?" Liu Meiniang remembered the scene written in Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring".

If Liuhe Village can become like that, it should be a very beautiful thing.

The next day, Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan went to the mountain to dig up all the potatoes, and Liu Meiniang told the village chief all the methods of potato planting.

In the afternoon of the same day, the village chief played a gong and gathered all the people in the village to tell everyone about the planting method of stone fruits.

At first, many people suspected that Liu Meiniang was messing around.

But Aunt Li, Liu Xiaomian and others kept standing up and telling everyone that the stone fruit could indeed be eaten, and slowly, some people believed it.

"Whether the stone fruit can be eaten or not, don't you know when you grow it! How much effort can it take to plant a few stone fruits, besides, the village chief and Liu Meiniang's family have eaten stone fruits, if it is really poisonous, can the village chief still stand here and talk to everyone? Li Zhuang's words made everyone around the platform laugh.

"What Li Zhuang said is also reasonable, I want some stone fruit seeds." The butcher who killed the pig in the village stood up and said.

"Yes, yes, I want some stone fruit seeds." Several other people also came forward to speak.

Although a large number of people did not ask for potato seeds, such a scene has exceeded Liu Meiniang's expectations, at least half of the people in the village have received the seeds of stone fruits and returned.

When potato planting is promoted, everyone's life will definitely get better and better.

After returning home after distributing potato seeds, Liu Meiniang started the next step of her plan.

The supermarket is now built, and it has to recruit employees.

Liu Meiniang plans to recruit some people who know the roots in the village and live directly in the county to manage the supermarket.

Liu Meiniang directly asked Zhang Jihan to go to the village to deliver the news that she was going to recruit people.

This recruitment can't be like before, as many people come to recruit as many people, you must conduct a round of interviews, and it is best to recruit a few literate ones.

When she is recruited, she will give them a little training.

Thinking of these, Liu Meiniang felt that it would take a long time for her supermarket to start.

But this kind of life is also very fulfilling, Liu Meiniang feels that although she is tired, it is very meaningful.

Knowing that Liu Meiniang's family was going to recruit people again, the village was almost boiling, and some people came out of every family to inquire about the news.

"If you're interested, come to my door tomorrow morning and sign up." Zhang Jihan looked at the moving heads, and his heart trembled slightly.

It was the first time he had spoken in front of so many people.

"What's the score, huh." Zhao Guifen glared at Zhang Jihan viciously, turned around and left.

Now she is getting more and more out of the circle of the village.

Everyone is discussing how the Zhang family is improving now, everything is the credit of Liu Meiniang, even the slut Liu Xiaomian followed Liu Meiniang, and now she is making more and more money, and even began to buy new clothes to wear.

The little brother-in-law in the family has gone to school.

Every time she heard people in the village praise Liu Meiniang, Zhao Guifen felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. But if she said a few words about Liu Meiniang's no, there would be a big girl and a little daughter-in-law in the village who came to reason with her.

Obviously, those people used to say with her that Liu Meiniang was a mourning star, but now that she has become like this, Zhao Guifen is also very speechless about these people.

But because of this, she seemed to be isolated by the women of the village.

Every time she gossiped under the big locust tree, as long as she went, those people stopped talking.

Even the lotus flower, who has been following her, has ignored her for a while now. Every time I asked Lotus to wash clothes together, Lotus shirked something.

Zhao Guifen felt that all this was caused by Liu Meiniang, and her hatred for Liu Meiniang became deeper and deeper.

But what can I do to hate Liu Meiniang? She also knows in her heart that there is really a gap between her and Liu Meiniang now, not to mention anything else, as far as Liu Meiniang is now, who will dislike her as a widow, viciously competing to marry her home as a daughter-in-law. Zhang Jihan can say that all these things that the Zhang family has are earned by Liu Meiniang.

Last time, she heard someone ask Zhang Li about Liu Meiniang, probably thinking about matchmaking.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guifen is uncomfortable, why is Liu Meiniang better off than her now? Eat better than her, dress better than her?

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by interview?" Zhang Jihan moved the chair out.

After breakfast, Liu Meiniang asked him to move a table and a few chairs to the gate, Zhang Jihan didn't know what Liu Meiniang was going to do, but when he asked, Liu Meiniang said that she was going to have an interview today.

"The interview is to see if the people who come to sign up can go to the supermarket to work."

Liu Meiniang raised her eyebrows and said.

"Ah, don't you want them all?" Zhang Jihan asked sneeringly, he thought that everyone who came to sign up would have to sign up.

"Come and sign up for 100 people, we can't recruit 100 people." Liu Meiniang rolled her eyes, this Zhang Jihan, sometimes his brain is shrewd to death, and sometimes he can't turn around.

"Oh, I understand sister-in-law." Zhang Jihan nodded and said that he had been taught.

Liu Meiniang called Zhang Li out to sit on the other side, after all, Zhang Li has lived in this village for many years and knows more about the people in the village than they do.

Although there were not a hundred people who came to sign up, there were always forty or fifty, and Zhang Jihan was stunned when he saw so many people coming. He thought that there would only be more than a dozen, and it seemed that the interview that Liu Meiniang said was completely necessary.

What they don't know is that standing in Zhang's house has become a fragrant bait, and as soon as the people in the village hear that the Zhang family is looking for manpower, even if they don't do the work at hand, they have to come to Zhang's house to work. The Zhang family not only pays more for their work, but Liu Meiniang is also good to people.
