Mrs. Liu was originally very anxious, because the more she talked, the more Chen Wumei would not go home, but she just shirked that Ye's family was too busy, and she wanted to help take care of the children. In this way, Mrs. Liu was not only grateful, but told Ye.

"Hey, it's important to take care of children, but where it's important to have your own lifelong events. If you want me to say, your third brother's family can't figure it out, and if you have to ask your fifth sister to help, I look like a maid in her family. ”

On this day, according to the order of support of the three brothers of Chen Jixing's family, Mrs. Liu took her turn to eat at Huang's house, and complained when she saw Huang.

Hearing this, the Huang family rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that it is not uncommon for people in the Ye family to have a maid like Chen Wumei, and where have you seen a maid like Chen Wumei, who eats and drinks every day.

There is really a need, with the current financial resources of the Ye family, even if they really go to the city to buy one or two maids and come back, it is okay. When you use it, is it more comfortable than Chen Wumei? Coupled with the news she had just heard today, she felt very uncomfortable and choked back a few words to Mrs. Liu.

"Mother, you can be content. According to me, where is the fifth sister working as a maid in the third brother's house, obviously to enjoy happiness. Not to mention the good food every day, the tea and pastries alone have never been broken! Moreover, I just heard that Ye Feng's kid taught Fifth Sister and Qianyu a technique, which is said to make two or even more kinds of fruits grow on the same fruit tree. If this rumor is true, are you still afraid that no one will want the fifth sister in the future? ”

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes. He also said that people couldn't carry it clearly, but forgot to look at themselves. If the Ye family can't figure it out, they can ignore these things and leave Chen Wumei to fend for herself.

It can be seen that this old lady Liu can't do good things here.

According to Huang's idea, she originally planned to let her eldest son Qianqi learn this technique. In this way, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future. However, her son was tired and did not want to drill around in the woods.

In this regard, the Huang family was very uncomfortable, not blaming his son for being unproductive, but like Mrs. Liu, he hated Ye Feng. In her heart, the two apprentices Ye Feng accepted were all girls, and it would not be someone else's family to marry in the future, so it was better to teach her son to come.

Hearing this, it was Mrs. Liu who automatically filtered out the Huang family's dissatisfaction, and her heart rejoiced. If the fifth sister really learned this technique, let alone a widower, even a green-headed young man would be married.

Take the most common peaches and plums, for example, these fruits in the city are not cheap now. Most of the farmers like to grow crops, where do they have the heart to grow these fruits?

When the fifth sister's technology matures, when the time comes, she will take out dozens of taels of silver to buy a piece of land and plant some fruits, and the rumor that two different fruits will bear on a tree alone can make the fruit sell without worrying.

Besides, anyway, she has time to cultivate some strange fruit trees with her daughter, and it is also okay to sell saplings.

The more Mrs. Liu thought about it, the more excited she became, and she had a great appetite and ate two large bowls of rice and a lot of dishes in a row. When the Huang family saw it, they were even more dissatisfied, and said in their hearts that the Zhu family and the Ye family must not have let Mrs. Liu eat enough, so they came to her house to waste the food.

Yes, next time she will deliberately make the rice more unpalatable, or put more salt, or Mrs. Liu will endure not eating meat during her stay at home, and wait for her to go to the next house to improve the food.

I have to say that Mrs. Liu is still very courageous, and she went to Chen Jixing's house on the second day to discuss things with Chen Wumei.

Seeing that the old lady was in good spirits, Ye thought that Mrs. Liu had come to the door again to mention the matter of marriage. After thinking about it, he hurriedly beckoned Mrs. Liu to sit down in the glass room, took out melon seeds, and made a cup of rose tea and put it in front of Mrs. Liu.

Who knows, Mrs. Liu changed her words: "Okay, I don't need you to help her play sloppy, and I'm not that unreasonable person." I'm just letting her weigh it herself, and she can't just say nothing. ”

When Ye Feng heard this, hehe, he was happy in his heart, and said in his heart If your old man is reasonable, then the cutest woman in Chenjia Village is Aunt Cha.

However, Ye Feng didn't interject, just listened to what she would say next. Mrs. Liu, who became serious, was quite serious.

I only heard Mrs. Liu say: "I came today to discuss something with everyone." I also heard from your sister-in-law yesterday that your fifth sister has learned a grafting technique. In this case, we bought a piece of land and divided it into two halves, half for fruit trees and half for seedlings, and presumably someone would come and buy it. The silver is left and put away, and no new silver is born, and there are always people who are in mind. ”

Mrs. Liu's words were on Ye Feng's heart, and he kept persuading Chen Jixing and his wife to continue to buy land and build houses, but both of them said that now they have land, not to mention houses, pig farms, and even forests, they are really unwilling to buy land anymore.

Ye Feng estimated that when the peanut harvest was harvested this year, whether the two agreed or not, he would buy another piece of land and build an inn at that time.

But Ye Shi understood that Mrs. Liu's words had two key points, one was that the silver could not be returned at all if it was stored in the family, and it was always remembered. Ye Feng had also heard of this.

It is said that Chen Wumei came back only about ten days ago, and Huang went to borrow it once, and he was going to prepare for his two children to marry him, and he would return it later. In this regard, Mrs. Liu didn't give any affection, and directly took a broom and blasted Huang out.

She also dared to worry about the only silver that her sister-in-law could use for herself, I really don't know what the Huang family will do after she goes. is also based on this, she hopes that Chen Wumei will get married soon.

When they get married, this silver is not something that the Huang family can think of.

Second, if Chen Wumei can take out a part of the silver to buy a piece of land and plant some fruit trees as Mrs. Liu said, it will definitely be the first in these ten miles and eight townships. In the past two years, the duck and duck village kitchen has run a lot, and almost no one has seen anyone grow fruits.

Because in the eyes of most people on this plane, this is a snack, and it is not as real as growing crops. As everyone knows, in fact, small profits but quick turnover, how many gold and silver mountains are accumulated in this way.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said: "I think this proposal is very good, if it is really planted, the market will definitely not worry." Even if we don't want to sell it in the city, we need it when we cook. Besides. Even if you can't sell it, you can still make preserved fruits or something. ”

Chen Jixing also said happily: "This method, I also think it works." Before going to the city to catch the market, the girl in Qianyan wanted to eat plums and peaches. I bought some of the same, and it cost a lot of money, which is quite expensive. Fifth sister, you just plant, the third brother put the words here in advance, if there is a bumper harvest at that time, I and your brother Qianshan will personally drive you to the city to sell. ”

In fact, as soon as Chen Wumei heard Mrs. Liu's suggestion, she immediately agreed in her heart, and now seeing that everyone is asking for her opinion, she immediately said: "I am willing, of course I am willing, I will go to the village chief tomorrow to buy land." ”

"You don't have to go, I'll go." Chen Jixing said with a smile.

He is now a celebrity in front of Chen Jifa, and it is most appropriate for him to do this kind of thing like buying land. And let people know that Chen Wumei bought the land, and after all, it will be difficult to escape a right and wrong.

Everyone discussed it again, and Ye Feng patted his chest and said that he would provide technical support free of charge, which made the atmosphere warm again. Speaking of which, this is the first time that a family meeting with Mrs. Liu has ended in a happy atmosphere.

The next day, Chen Jixing went to the village chief's house early in the morning to find Chen Jifa, saying that he wanted to buy land. Originally, they wanted to buy those good lands, but Ye Feng said that there was no need. Just because the good land is expensive, not to mention, in addition to the land requires silver, there are also a lot of various inputs, and the income will take two or three years later.

If the silver is spent, what will Chen Wumei live with?

As soon as everyone heard this, they decided to buy the land next to Chen Jixing's house and Ye Feng who were now planting flowers and trees. This piece of land is about seven or eight acres, there are few weeds, and it is not next to the back mountain, and the sun is abundant, which is really rare.

Chen Jifa heard that Chen Jixing was buying land, and asked puzzledly: "I said Chen Jixing, your family is not short of silver now, I know, but why buy so much land." Then, I'll show you, pig raisers, chickens and ducks, flower growers, rental ......"

He has calculated it for Chen Jixing, and he really has all the uses he can think of. Unexpectedly, Chen Jixing still refused to stop, and continued to buy.

Do you really want to surpass Zhao Da's rich family and become the largest landlord in Chenjia Village?

Hearing this, Chen Jixing said: "Village chief, you misunderstood, I bought this land for my sister-in-law." As you know, it's inconvenient for her to come forward. The land was bought to grow some fruit. You also know, she has no children under her knees, and now she is alone, if she doesn't have an income, what will she do when she gets old in the future. ”

When Chen Jifa heard it, this brother really has nothing to say, and he can consider this step for his sister. So he immediately clapped his head and said, "Okay, how not!" That's it, speaking of which, I also grew up watching your fifth sister, and no one in the village will have any opinions. It's just four taels of silver per acre, and I remember that the land seems to be more than eight acres, even if it's eight acres, you can give thirty-two taels of silver. ”

Chen Jixing didn't expect the village chief to be so magnificent, and even gave the silver. In the afternoon, he followed the village chief to the city to get the title deed. When she finished eating, when Chen Wumei held the title deed stamped with the official deed, she was excited, she finally had land.

Just do it.

If there was only silver before, there was always a feeling of sitting on a mountain and eating nothing. But now, she feels that she has landed.

The family borrowed a cow and worked together to clean up the wasteland and sprinkle some farm manure. Chen Jixing took advantage of the slack to buy fruit trees everywhere. In the end, I bought three kinds of fruit trees, peach trees, pear trees and plum trees.

When buying saplings, Chen Jixing forgot to count, and in the end, almost all the land was planted, leaving less than one acre.

But it's okay, it's almost the same as experimenting.

Chen Wumei and Qianyu transplanted all the flowers and trees that the two grafted some time ago into this field.

For a while, Chenjia Village knew that Chen Wumei had planted several acres of fruit trees. Some people are kind-hearted, so they are naturally happy for Chen Wumei. However, there are also some vicious ones, saying that she is too ostentatious, farming is a disguise, and it is true to attract men's attention.

In this regard, Mrs. Liu's family did not know about it. Their mouths grow on other people's bodies, and they can't cover their mouths to keep people from talking. However, having a good time is the biggest riposte.

In the end, Ye Feng felt that it was not safe to leave it open like this, but it was okay now, and it was not yet fruitful. If it turns out after two or three years, children or adults come in and steal it, and say no, if you don't say it's not, it's better to put an end to this possibility.

So, Chen Wumei took out some more silver and surrounded all the land. Fortunately, the right side was next to Ye Feng's land, so only three walls were built.

During this period, the corn, sorghum and potatoes were all ripe one after another, Chen Wumei and Qianyan watched the children cook at home, and Qianyu followed the work in the fields regardless of Ye's advice. After doing this, Ye Feng found that the peanuts began to yellow one after another.

Because when the seeds were just sown, there were children who went to the field to steal peanuts to eat, so during this time, the villagers saw that the peanuts had turned yellow one after another, and asked Ye Feng again, and learned that it was about to ripen, and each family spontaneously sent a person to wait on the ground in turn.

Fan and Aunt Cha are even more active, and every day they sit on the bottom with the soles of their shoes when they have nothing to do, and by the way, they talk about the shortcomings of Zhang's family and the Li family. Both of them were sweet in their hearts, after all, they were the first to taste the benefits of selling peanuts in the village.

Therefore, things like Chen Yuang stealing peanut seeds to eat in early summer must not happen again.

In this way, after a few more days, Ye Feng was about to discuss with the village chief whether it was time for a bumper harvest, and by the way, he called Boss Wang of Liuyunxuan to discuss the price of this year.

As a result, before he went out, he saw Chen Jixing running back in a panic and said loudly: "Ye Feng, come out quickly, quickly." ”

Ye Feng rarely saw Chen Jixing so flustered, couldn't it be that the peanuts were stolen?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng also panicked, and followed Chen Jixing when he stepped out of the house. As he walked, he asked, "Brother-in-law, is there something wrong with the longevity fruit?" ”

Chen Jixing saw that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, there's nothing wrong with the longevity fruit." However, I don't know who leaked the news, and I don't know where the merchants came from, there are more than a dozen of them, and now they are sitting in the open space next to the ancestral hall, and the village chief asked me to come and call you quickly. ”

When Ye Feng heard this, his head was a little big. This year, because of the limited number of seeds, there are only ten acres of land, plus his family's one acre, a total of only 11 acres of land. It's good now, more than a dozen people came at once, and no matter who they sold to, the others would be unhappy.

If one is not good, it will be difficult to fight if it starts.

And as soon as the fight starts, the people in the government will have the opportunity to intervene. And as soon as the government intervenes, then ...... It's not just a matter of declining revenues.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng asked Chen Jixing, "Is Boss Wang here?" "If he's not there, it's even more troublesome.

Hearing this, Chen Jixing hurriedly said: "Boss Wang is also here, he is very anxious, he is afraid that others will offer a higher price, and he will be embarrassed at that time." ”

Hearing that Boss Wang was here, Ye Feng was relieved. As for the price, it really needs to be discussed.

The market economy follows the laws of the market.

Ye Feng was in a hurry to the ancestral hall, and the mothers-in-law of each family were also moved when they heard the wind, for fear of suffering some losses, so they asked their men to rush to the ancestral hall to listen to what the other party said, and at the same time rushed to the peanut field to guard.

Fan was the first to arrive, and when he saw that everyone was rushing here, and seeing that there was no trace of being passive in the peanut field, he put his mind at ease and started chatting with Aunt Cha who came later.

"I heard that more than a dozen vendors came at once, what's going on?"

"What else could it be, it must have come to buy the longevity fruit."

"Yes, yes, I almost got into a fight."

"My man said that this acre of land can produce three or four hundred catties, and these ten acres of land are three or four thousand catties, am I not mistaken?"

Hearing the other party ask himself, Zhao smiled and said, "That's right, it's this number." ”

Since serving as the accountant of Yaya Township, Zhao's status in the village has become more and more transcendent. Some mothers-in-law encountered accounts that they couldn't calculate, and they all came to her. Zhao never disappoints the other party, and always gives it clearly.

When Aunt Cha heard this, her eyes turned green, and she stared like a copper bell, and hurriedly answered: "Then according to ten taels of silver a catty, how much silver can you get?" ”

As soon as Aunt Cha's words were finished, the surrounding conversations immediately stopped, and everyone waited for Zhao's answer. That's more than they can count.

"That's at least thirty thousand taels of silver." Zhao said honestly.

"What, thirty thousand taels of silver?" As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately exploded, and some people almost fainted. Oh my God, it's really an eye-opener, Chenjia Village also has a good day today. There are only about a hundred families in the village, and that family will have to divide two hundred taels of silver.

"It's not that much, although it's expensive, but you have to leave some seeds, otherwise what will you plant next year? and take away the money which is spent on renting the land. I heard from the village chief that he seemed to be going to spend some of the money to build a school and invite a private school teacher to teach it. The gentleman's money is from the public, and each family is only responsible for their children's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. ”

Seeing that everyone was so excited, Zhao was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly said what Ye said to her a few days ago. Money is moving, and now that it's not divided, everyone can't stand it.

Hearing this, Aunt Cha Wu was the first to say: "This is a good thing, if you want to say that our village should have built a school a long time ago." In the past few years, she has been providing for her two sons to study, and she has spent a lot of money, so she naturally empathizes.

Now, her son can go back to school. Staying at the doorstep, convenient in all aspects, is naturally better than the town. And she doesn't have to suffer those white eyes anymore.

Not to mention the chatter of the group of women on the edge of the peanut field, the ancestral hall is also very lively. More than a dozen vendors sat on the stools that Chen Jifa brought out of the ancestral hall, waiting for Ye Feng to come and discuss.

They are all big shopkeepers sent by Qingshan County and nearby restaurants that heard the rumors, and they are bound to buy some longevity fruits to go back. If you dare to go back empty-handed, this shopkeeper will probably come to an end.

Seeing so many competitors, everyone is a little apprehensive, what if the other party sets the price too high? Their psychological price is not higher than twelve taels of silver a catty.

Otherwise, you will lose money when you buy it.

After all, it is so expensive, and few people can afford it.

The men were nervously watching all of this, for fear of missing something.

After a long time, everyone saw that Ye Feng was coming with Chen Jixing, and they all stood up spontaneously. Chen Jifa took three steps and made two steps, stepped forward and pulled Ye Feng and walked to the ancestral hall. Thinking that there were so many people outside, he turned back to these shopkeepers and said, "Everyone, please wait a while, and we will come out after we have discussed it." ”

Seeing Ye Feng, Boss Wang showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, Ye Feng smiled back, and then followed Chen Jifa into the ancestral hall.

Without waiting for Chen Jifa to ask questions, Ye Feng took the lead and said: "Village chief, I have some ideas, I'll say them first, if it's inappropriate, you can correct it." ”

After speaking, Ye Feng said: "Although there are many people, I suggest that it be sold according to the ten taels of silver and one catty that was ordered last year." I just heard from my brother-in-law that there are more than a dozen people coming outside, and one acre of land is not enough, and we still have some seeds left. Therefore, I suggest that Boss Wang started working together last year, and he gets one mu alone, and the rest share it equally. ”

Seeing that Chen Jifa didn't speak, Ye Feng said again: "As for the money earned, a part of it will be set aside for public middle school funds, whether it is repairing the ancestral hall or building a school, and paying Mr. will be paid by the public middle school." As for the rest, then divide it. ”

I have to say that Ye Feng's words are to the point. Chen Jifa was afraid that he would get this and that, and he wouldn't have to make bad things.

Ye Feng's idea is very good.

Thinking of Mrs. last night's words, Chen Jifa said again: "I agree with your thoughts, but there is another one, let's leave two acres of land of immortal fruit as seeds." This is not missing at all. ”

"Just listen to the village chief." Although Ye Feng thought that Chen Jifa would leave at most one acre of land as seeds and maintain this year's output next year, he heard that Chen Jifa wanted to leave two acres of seeds and thought that he wanted to expand the planting area, so he agreed.

Anyway, the price next year will definitely not be so high, and it is okay to have a variety of them. Chen Jifa was not confused in the end, and he still knew how to keep seeds, which made Ye Feng a little lucky.

When they had finished their deliberations, they went out the door.

Hearing the door, the more than a dozen shopkeepers all stood up, for fear of missing some opportunity.

Chen Jifa organized his language slightly, and then walked to the middle and said: "Thank you for coming from afar, please bear with me." Our village only planted 10 acres of long-lived fruit this time, but we had to leave 2 acres of land as seeds, so only 8 acres of long-lived fruit could be sold. ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone's hearts tightened again.

"Among them, this Liuyunxuan's Boss Wang was booked with us last year, ten taels of silver and one catty, so he can buy one acre of land for the longevity fruit alone. As for the remaining seven acres of land, it will probably be about 2,800 catties of longevity fruit, and you shopkeepers will divide it equally, according to the price of eleven taels of silver and one catty. Do you have any objections? ”

When the shopkeeper heard Chen Jifa say that Boss Wang had made a reservation in advance, he was very unhappy, and when he said that he could only get the yield of one acre of land, and it was also ten taels of silver and a catty, he felt better.

Now, although the longevity fruit they bought cost an extra tael of silver for a catty, it was only one tael more, and the other party did not sit on the ground and start the price, or come to the higher price. There are twelve of them, and it is not bad for one person to get more than 200 catties, although it is not much, but the victory is evenly divided, and no one is more than the other.

Someone immediately said: "What the village chief said is that we have no opinion. ”

The other said: "Village chief, since there is no objection, then what are you waiting for, take us to have a look." If you want to say that this immortal fruit is miraculous, I haven't seen it yet. ”

Seeing the humor he said, Chen Jifa waved his hand and said generously: "Then let's go, when we get to the ground in a while, I will be in charge, and I will give you one person and one plant, and you can also try it." ”

There was someone who had inquired about the news in advance, and when he heard Chen Jifa say this, he was very happy. You must know that there can be twenty or thirty peanuts on a peanut plant, which is almost half a tael of silver.

The other men thought it was a good arrangement, and followed behind towards Peanut Land. Thinking that they would get the silver soon, a group of people were excited.
