"Hey, it's not easy to do anything, auntie understands."

"So Yan'er has no choice but to come and ask your aunt for your help." Xia Yan smiled, "What's more, it's also a win-win good thing to let you plant wheat with me, auntie, that is, it puffs up your purse and maintains the relationship with your family, why not Yan'er?" ”

"Yan'er, you're such a good boy." Ping'er's mother glanced at Xia Yan appreciatively, and then glanced at her daughter, "Unlike your sister Ping'er, she knows how to eat and sleep all day long, and it is useless." It's not good-looking, how can I get married in the future, hey, my aunt is worried. ”

It's okay that she didn't mention it, but when she mentioned Xia Yan, she thought of words again.

"Auntie, do you know how much my flour sells for a pound of silver?"

"I remember it's two taels?" Ping'er Niang grinned, "Hey, I didn't say it, this is really not ordinarily expensive, I can't afford to eat your aunt, so I can only occasionally buy some from your house to satisfy my hunger." But fortunately, people in our village can go directly to your house to buy it, and there is no need to go to the county town to catch the market. Don't you know, every time people in several villages around us want to buy your flour, they have to get up early in the morning to go to the county town to catch the market, and if they go later, it will be sold out. They wanted to go directly to your house to buy it, but because they didn't know you well, they didn't pull down this face. ”

Saying that, Ping'er Niang proudly stroked her hair and said, "You don't know how much they envy us, the villagers of our Bianxi Village feel that their waists are much better than before, Yan'er, this is all thanks to you." ”

"Then when you have all planted wheat, you can sell the flour you can't eat enough to the villagers in the surrounding villages." Xia Yan smiled, "Auntie, I'll help you calculate an account, my family's wheat is not comparable to ordinary wheat, ordinary wheat can yield up to 200 catties per acre, but my family's wheat yield per mu is at least 1,000 catties, according to the 800 catties you handed over to me per acre, you can still have at least 200 catties left." I heard Uncle Lizheng say that you have 50 acres of land at home, and you can leave 10,000 catties of flour this season. ”

After Xia Yan finished speaking, Ping'er Niang didn't react for a while, and lowered her head and pondered for a long time.

In the past, her own land was 200 catties of flour per acre, and after planting her wheat, she would have 1,000 catties per acre of land, and she would be given 800 catties of flour, and she would have 200 catties left.

Hey, there was no difference between this one before, why do you want to do this?

No, no, this girl said that her flour sells for two taels of silver and a catty, and if she sells all these ten thousand catties of flour, then she won't be able to earn it in a year......

Ping'er Niang raised her fingers and counted, her eyes suddenly widened, and she trembled with excitement.

"Two ...... Twenty thousand taels! Ping'er Niang looked at Xia Yan in disbelief, as if to confirm, "Yan'er, I'm not mistaken, can I sell it for 20,000 taels of silver?" ”

"Auntie, you're not mistaken." It took Ping'er Niang so long to figure it out, and Xia Yan didn't mean to laugh at her at all, after all, the world's mathematics is too backward, and many people don't know what multiplication is.

That's a great thing!

When Ping'er Niang was about to open her mouth to agree, she suddenly thought of something again, and she remained silent in place.

Hey, no, it's true that the account is calculated like this, but the truth is not like this.

In previous years, the 10,000 catties of flour grown in his own fields, except for what he ate, sold the rest to the grain merchants who came to collect grain.

The best and most expensive ones can only be sold for 40 wen a catty, and most of them can only be sold for 15 wen a catty, so they can earn a maximum of 200 taels a year. If you remove the food and clothing of the family, there is not much left.

The wheat here is planted in autumn and harvested in summer, and can only be harvested once a year, so there are not many people who grow wheat in Bianxi Village, and most of them choose to plant sorghum, and sell it to the winery in Qin County to earn more silver.

In fact, Ping'er's family has not planted wheat for some years, because it is really impossible to make it.

What if this girl is just trying to fool herself and draw a big pie? After all, two taels of silver were sold in her shop, and they might not be able to sell them for such a good price.

Although this flour is indeed delicious and unforgettable, it is indeed a bit expensive for ordinary farmers.

But then she thought that her wheat could ripen in winter, and maybe she could harvest it several times a year, so it was not impossible.

Ping'er Niang couldn't make up her mind for a while, and said all the doubts and hesitations in her heart.

After hearing this, Xia Yan smiled and said, "Auntie, I know what you think. It's just that my family's land is a little special, so it can make the wheat ripen in winter, but if you look at our entire Bianxi Village, it is estimated that this is the case. What's more, I'm just a blind cat holding a dead mouse this time, and I planted it by mistake, so it's hard to say whether it will be like this in the future. Therefore, my wheat is actually the same as yours, which is planted in autumn and harvested in summer. ”

Seeing Ping'er Niang's gloomy expression and disappointed look, Xia Yan hurriedly added: "But you don't have to worry about the price at all." I have already discussed with Grandpa Li Zheng before I came this time, if you keep the flour for yourself, then I don't care, but if you take it out and sell it, then you must follow my price. If I find out that the flour you sell is cheaper or more expensive than the price in my shop, I will take back the opportunity to let you grow wheat. Of course, if you are afraid that you will not be able to sell it, you can also sell the flour directly to me, and I will buy it for one tael of silver and one catty. ”

Saying that, Xia Yan took out a note prepared in advance from his arms and handed it to Ping'er Niang: "Auntie, the words have come to this, it is useless to say more, this is a note written by Grandpa Lizheng, you can see it, if you agree, sign it." ”

Ping'er Niang took the note and read it carefully.

Although she couldn't fully understand what was written on the paper, there were words she knew in the last few lines.

"Yan'er." Ping'er Niang pointed to the place where she had questions, "What is the 100,000 taels of silver here?" ”

Xia Yan looked at the place she pointed, and then smiled: "That's just in case, a few additional requirements." First, the seeds cannot be given to people outside Bianxi Village; second, wheat should not be planted outside the boundaries of Bianxi Village; Thirdly, the flour must be handed in according to the standards I have set; Fourth, you can't change the price of flour at will, this price can only be set by me. If you can't do these four things, then you will compensate me with 100,000 taels of silver, and there will be no chance to help my family grow wheat. ”

"Also, I'd like to give you a word of caution." Xia Yan continued, "The seeds you planted can only be taken from my family. If it's a seed that I get from the wheat harvest and want to plant it the next year, I can't do it. But the seeds you make are not of good quality without my treatment, and I will not harvest the flour that has been milled. If you don't pay enough because of the quality of the flour, you will be in breach of contract. ”

Hearing this huge amount of compensation, Ping'er Niang gasped, she had never seen 100,000 taels in her life, and it was not enough to pay her back if she didn't sell her family, how could she dare to breach the contract?

Yes, Ping'er Niang was ready to promise Xia Yan and signed the note.

Listening to this girl's meaning, as long as she does exactly what she asks, then she will have her own benefits, and she doesn't even have to worry about how to sell it. If you really can't sell it, then just sell it to her, although it will make less money, but it will save a lot of trouble, and at least you can get a few thousand taels.

, why don't you do it, those who don't agree are fools.

Immediately afterwards, Ping'er Niang bit her finger boldly and printed it on the contract.

Although she didn't fully understand the meaning of the above, Youli was here to do the guarantor, and she could rest assured.

Looking at her swift movements, Xia Yan really couldn't bear to say that there was no need to be so troublesome, they brought Yin Clay.

After Ping'er Niang's contract was signed in triplicate, Xia Yan picked up one and gave it to Li Zheng, and the remaining one was stuffed into her arms, and said with a smile: "My aunt is really a heroine among women, Yan Er admires it." Your family is about to have double happiness, and Yan'er will give you congratulations first. ”

"Oh, Yan'er, you know how to make fun of me, how can there be any double happiness." Ping'er Niang understood the meaning of Xia Yan's words, her face was full of red light, and she waved her hand, "At most, it's a joy, the second child is still young, I'll marry a daughter-in-law for the eldest first." ”

"But Sister Ping'er has also reached the age of getting married." Xia Yan glanced at Ping'er, who was standing not far from them, "When your family has money, the scope of your choice of son-in-law will be larger, so we don't need to find any rich people, just look for the kind of sister who really likes Ping'er, and can treat her well, money is really nothing to us." When the time comes, you will prepare a rich dowry for her, which will definitely make the villagers envious of the villagers. I guess that the pomp and circumstance of Sister Ping'er's marriage must be bigger than Xia Weiwei's. ”

"It's light to say, can Ping'er compare with Xia Weiwei?" Although Ping'er Niang said it, the expression on her face told a few people that she was very happy to surpass Xia Weiwei, "Besides, it is not easy to find a rich person who really likes her in this world." ”

"Who says no?" Xia Yan glanced at Ping'er playfully, "For example, ......"

"Sister Yan'er, don't talk nonsense, otherwise my mother will beat me again." Ping'er's face was as red as a ripe apple, all the way to the root of her ears, "Me and ...... Me and him are not what you think. ”

"I didn't say who it was, I just made an analogy." Xia Yan smiled evilly, "Sister Ping'er, who are you talking about?" ”

"I ...... I...... I'm just giving you an analogy. Unable to stand Xia Yan's playful eyes any longer, Ping'er buried her head deeply.
