Chapter 164 Twelve
When Xia Yan heard the prompt sound of the completion of the task, he didn't react for a while, and was stunned in place.
Five years have passed, Xia Yan is already twelve years old, and she is no longer the yellow thin girl with a birthmark on her face.
Now she has gradually grown, although there is still a trace of childishness, but the eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, the eyes are as clear as a pool of clear water, the appearance is beautiful, the skin is as bright as jade, and she is amazing.
The temperament of the gestures has also become dignified under the influence of the Yan family and the careful teaching of Xu Changping, a picture of everyone's beautiful appearance.
"Done?" Xia Yan muttered to himself and sighed, "It's finally done." ”
This is the most arduous and time-consuming of all tasks.
I thought that with Ping'erniang's help, the villagers in Bianxi Village would be happy to help them plant wheat, but what I didn't expect was that there were few people like Ping'er Niang who made decisions immediately.
In the first year, counting Ping'er's family, Xiaohu's family, and Lizheng's family, only six families agreed to plant wheat.
By the second year, the poorest cow in the village not only married a daughter-in-law, but also lived in a new house and bought a lot of livestock.
Some people saw that the lives of these families were getting better and better, and they gradually became more and more thoughtful.
So this year, the number of households in the village that promised to grow wheat increased to 20.
There are also some people who want to give up sorghum and plant wheat instead, but because they have made a note with the winery, they can only wait until the end of the agreed period to plant wheat.
So much so that when the 1,000 acres of wheat were successfully harvested, it was the summer of five years later, and at this time, the entire Bianxi Village except for the Xia family, the whole village planted the wheat of the Xia Yan family.
If you want to say who gets the most benefits from this big good thing, it is none other than Ping'er Niang.
not only allowed the two sons to successfully marry their daughters-in-law, but also married their daughters, and also got an honest and hard-working son-in-law.
In the early years, the big cow planted the land of two families by himself, and he never complained.
Later, Ping'er's elder brother and younger brother couldn't help it, so they helped Da Niu plant their own land.
And Da Niu also earned the first pot of gold, so he added 30 acres of land to his family, and the land of the two families added up to a full 100 acres, and the entire Bianxi Village, except for Xia Yan's family, belongs to Ping'er's mother's family with the most land.
Because she was the first to plant wheat, so she was also the first to sell wheat to nearby villagers, in the past five years, her family has accumulated a lot of customers, in the early years of wheat can not be sold worries, all in vain, except for her family to eat, the rest is not enough to sell.
She is now living a good life drinking tea, chatting, coaxing her grandson, and counting money.
There is no way, the daughter and son-in-law are filial, the daughter-in-law is sensible, and the son has changed his ways, so they don't have to do anything at all, just enjoy the blessings.
Because this decision was made by Ping'er Niang, her status in the family has also risen at any time, and she has surpassed her husband and become the head of the family.
Other villagers in Bianxi Village also felt the benefits of growing wheat.
In the past, Bianxi Village was only the most remote and smallest village in Qin County, and there were no special products that could be used, so the villagers here were a little unable to raise their heads in these ten miles and eight townships.
But since the wheat was planted, the life of Bianxi Village has gradually become richer, and everyone has changed their appearance and dressed in silk and satin.
When I went outside, I saw the villagers of other villages dressed in coarse linen clothes, and although they did not laugh, they always showed off.
Walking in front of them, my waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer painful, all of them are straight, full of energy, and the teeth of the people in other villages are only itchy.
But there is no way to do it, who makes their village not have such good things.
It's not that they didn't want to go to Bianxi Village to get some wheat to plant, but the people in this village seemed to have discussed it, and unanimously xenophobic them, and they didn't give them this opportunity at all.
There were once people who had bad intentions and went to Bianxi Village to steal some wheat and come back to plant, but after planting wheat and waiting for a year, although the flour milled was much better than the usual ones, it could not be compared with the flour in Bianxi Village at all.
After eating the flour produced in Bianxi Village, and then eating the ones that I stole and planted, I felt tasteless.
Some people speculate that it is probably because of the special soil quality of Bianxi Village, so this kind of wheat can only be grown there.
There is no way, these people can only consider themselves unlucky, who let themselves not be born in Bianxi Village.
Since there is no way to grow wheat outside, they just need to become villagers in Bianxi Village.
As a result, Bianxi Village ushered in waves of people from other villages, pestering Li every day to join Bianxi Village.
Li Zheng had expected this kind of thing, how could he easily agree.
Even if he promised them to come in, there would be no land to sell in Bianxi Village.
Over the years, people have gradually become richer, and the clever ones have long bought a lot of land when the land is cheap, so now there is not a single acre of good land that can be sold.
Although there are still some wastelands, he has only seen Xia Yan grow things on them over the years, and even if others buy them, it will take several years to reclaim them, which will take a lot of effort.
Not to mention that a large part of the wasteland had already been bought by Xia Yan, and when the villagers of Bianxi Village realized that the land was not enough and wanted to buy some wasteland for reclamation, there was not much left in Lizheng's hands, and it was still some land around Wubi Mountain, some distance from the village, no matter what they did, it was inconvenient.
There was no way, they could only put away the idea of reclaiming wasteland, and secretly hated that they had no vision, why didn't they find this way earlier.
Although Bianxi Village is xenophobic and does not give others the opportunity to join, it cannot prevent people from marrying girls in this village.
So the unmarried young man in Bianxi Village became the object of competition for girls from ten miles and eight towns.
All day long, there was a matchmaker in Bianxi Village to inquire about whether there was a young man from that family who had not yet married, and when she met a person who was not married, she couldn't wait to stuff ten or eight girls into it.
As for whether these people have money or not, whether the conditions are good or not, it is not a matter for these people to consider at all, and now no one knows that Bianxi Village has collectively made a fortune, and it is difficult to find a poor family.
Even a few old bachelors in the village who couldn't marry a daughter-in-law because of their disabilities successfully got a wife.
But there are only more than 50 families in Bianxi Village, and there are not many who are not married, and in this situation where there are many monks and few meats, those teenage children have become the main targets of matchmakers.
In the end, the little brothers who followed Xia Yan all day long and shouted her eldest sister's head, except for Xiaohu, all had a marriage contract.
Even the children have been decided, what to do?
There is no way, they can only hit the idea on the person who has become a relative.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it can't be the main room, so it's good to be a concubine.
So in the past few years, the men in Bianxi Village have been very happy, in the past, if they wanted to ask for a concubine, they not only had to spend a lot of money to buy it, but also considered whether the origin was clean, but now it is good, from time to time someone sends a yellow flower girl to him, or the kind that is beautiful, gentle and understanding.
Their father-in-law accepted concubines, and of course the main rooms who accompanied them to their hard days were unwilling, and they beat and scolded, scolded, and made trouble, but it was useless.
In those days, these families who married concubines staged house fights almost every day.
In the end, they really had no choice but to unite to form a women's alliance to rule all kinds of disobedient men, and Yan was the leader of this alliance.
Although she was forcibly elected by others, since becoming the leader of this alliance, Xia Yan found that her mother was extremely enthusiastic about this work, changed her weak style in the past, and tirelessly worked with those women every day to teach their husbands.
The Yan people are beautiful and have read a lot of books, so they are methodical and reasonable, and they can't find the words to refute them, so they can only admit their mistakes obediently.
The concubines who have already married into the door can't be returned, but they don't dare to marry casually anymore.
And those concubines who have already passed the door gradually no longer fight with the main room, and have joined the women's alliance to fight against their husbands together.
After all, I only see the newcomer laughing, but the old man crying, if they marry a few more people, they will fall out of favor sooner or later.
After the efforts of the Women's Alliance, the concubine fever in Bianxi Village finally cooled down.
Seeing that there was no way to stuff people into Bianxi Village, the people from other villages could only grit their teeth and hang their heads, but there was no solution, so they could only obediently buy flour to satisfy their hunger.
However, these flours are so expensive that they can't buy much at all, so that it is a thing worth showing off to be able to eat Bianxi village flour in other villages.
Bianxi Village collectively made a fortune, and Xia Yan certainly made a lot of money.
Through the joint efforts of the whole village, Xia Yan has opened food for talent stores in the three surrounding counties, and it is just around the corner to open all over the same state.
The three shops in Qin County were handed over to three different people to take care of.
Gao Yuxing has become the treasurer of the food for the sky, and the freshness of vegetables is under the control of Xia Huai's apprentice Tian Wenran, as for the sweetness of the most important fruit, it was originally taken care of by Xia Yan himself, but since three years ago, Jiang Xiaoyu, who had taken revenge, returned, and the sweetness of the fruit was handed over to her.
Speaking of that Jiang Xiaoyu, he is really a good businessman.
Before she came, although the business of these three shops was good, it was no longer as hot as when it first opened, and Xia Yan was worried about the matter of wheat on a thousand acres of land, so she didn't put her mind on the shop at all.
Although Gao Yuxing has experience in business, after all, he was still an exaggeration not long ago, and he can't change much for a while, he can only maintain the stability of the business, and he can't make the business hot again.
And not to mention Tian Wenran, Xia Yan was purely because of the lack of manpower, and he felt that he was loyal to his brother, so he temporarily handed over the shop to him to take care of.
Originally, Xia Yan thought that these three shops would be like this, and they would not have much success, so he didn't bother to care about these anymore, and only focused on the wheat field, so as to let these flour be sold outside Qin County as soon as possible.
But all this changed after Jiang Xiaoyu came.
