Liu Pan'er thought for a while and chuckled, "There are more chili peppers planted this year, and I can't guarantee that the chili peppers will be the same as last year's thirty yuan a catty, but I can guarantee that twenty yuan a catty." If it is lower than that, I will buy it for twenty cents a catty. Can such a commitment reassure everyone? ”

Li Er was stunned and spoke roughly, but he was very happy, and when he heard this, he smiled, "Great, then I, Li Er, am the first to sign up." I want twenty acres of pepper seedlings. But my family has no money now, so it's all used to build a house and a shop. I can write you an IOU, and when I sell chili peppers, I will pay you back a lot of money, even with interest. ”

Others were also shy and wanted to take credit with Liu Paner, but they were embarrassed to say.

Liu Pan'er nodded and said with a smile: "I also understand everyone's difficulties, okay, you can take credit and write an IOU first." You don't need to pay interest, just pay it at the original price when the time comes. ”

So what are you waiting for, hurry up and register!

Village Chief Li said with a smile: "Yuanqing's family, my family's eighteen acres of dry land, give me a note." ”

"My family has eight acres of land."

"My family has ten acres of land."

·······

The people who came to chat registered the number of dry fields in their homes on the spot.

Those who later settled down to open up the land had few paddy fields, and most of them were dry fields. These people are more active, hoping to earn more money and live a good life in Jixiang Village by planting chili peppers.

The rest of the village who didn't come here to chat also hurried over to register the next day when they heard about it.

Tang Niangzi was familiar with the people in the village, and when she heard that the yield of chili peppers was high and the price was also high, she immediately took it to heart.

"Boss, the land we opened on the pig farm has five acres of land, and I am going to plant peppers." In the evening, Mrs. Tang discussed with her husband.

Tang Yunshan thought for a while, "Lady, you raise pigs and grow peppers, it's too hard." ”

Tang Niangzi felt that this was a great opportunity to make money, sat up from the bed, and patted her husband's back, "The head of the house, I'm not tired." If she didn't make money, Mrs. Dre wouldn't have told the villagers at all. We just opened up the land, and of course we made money from planting. Not only do I grow peppers on the open wasteland, but I also grow peppers in our yard. ”

Hearing this, Tang Yunshan frowned, and also sat up from the bed, "The small yard at home is just a little bit, how can I have time to grow peppers?" ”

Tang Niangzi retorted, "Boss, our yard is not small, there is half an acre of land." Let's leave a path on the side that is enough for us to walk. Elsewhere, I'll get up early tomorrow morning and plant peppers in the yard. ”

Tang Yunshan couldn't cry or laugh, "If you do this, when others come to our house, won't they be laughed at when they open the door and fill the yard with chili seedlings?" ”

Tang Niangzi thought about it, and finally took a resolute attitude, "Even if I am laughed at, I don't care." Master, listen carefully to me, I have inquired clearly. Mrs. said that in the future, she would buy chili peppers at a minimum of 20 yuan a catty, and this chili pepper can produce one or two thousand catties per acre of land. Let's calculate it according to one thousand catties, twenty dollars a catty, which is twenty taels of silver. Our yard has half an acre, and planting chili peppers can sell it for ten taels of silver. ”

"You do the math again, plus the few acres of land we opened on the pig farm, there will be no rent for these two years, all of them will be ours, which is a hundred taels of silver. With this money, we can not only buy the yard we live in now, but with our wages, we may be able to buy another yard. ”

"Da Zhuang is not young, there is a yard, even if we are outsiders, so we can say a good daughter-in-law to Da Zhuang. Erzhuang is still young, let's save money to buy a yard. When the time comes, we will live separately when we get married, and we will be quiet. ”

Tang Yunshan heard that his wife had calculated such an account, and felt that it was very reasonable.

Although face is important, silver is even more important.

Ten taels of silver was equivalent to five months' wages for him, and of course he couldn't help but earn it.

Tang Yunshan nodded, "Okay, tomorrow I will work with you to turn over the ground in the yard, and all the peppers will be planted at that time." ”

Early the next morning, when they were turning the ground in the yard, Sun Daqian's daughter-in-law next door, Sun Niangzi, came over to borrow some oil and salt.

Sun Niangzi's eyes rolled, and she hurriedly asked curiously: "The dean is good, why are you digging up?" Do you still want to grow a vegetable garden in your yard? ”

Tang Niangzi does not have a good impression of this Sun Niangzi.

Since this Sun Niangzi came to Jixiang Town with her husband and in-laws, she lived next door, and came to Tang Niangzi's house to borrow oil and salt for three days.

After borrowing, I borrowed almost three times, two times I didn't pay it back, and occasionally I paid it back.

Tang Niangzi smiled, "My two sons are older, and they will use money everywhere when they talk about marriage in the future." There is a bit of an open space in the yard and we are also going to plant peppers. Even if you can't sell it, can't you still eat it? By the way, the younger brothers and sisters of the Sun family, came here early in the morning, did you want to repay the half bottle of oil that you borrowed from my house the day before yesterday? ”

When Mrs. Sun heard this, her face was embarrassed, "Sister-in-law of the Tang family, I still have something to do, so I won't delay your family digging the ground and planting vegetables!" ”

After finishing speaking, Sun Niangzi turned her face and ran away as if someone was chasing her.

Seeing Sun Niangzi leaving, Tang Yunshan lowered his voice and said, "Don't be like her, so as not to be hated by her!" ”

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she snorted, "As the saying goes, there is a loan, there is a return, and it is not difficult to borrow again!" This younger brother and sister of the Sun family opened her mouth to ask others to borrow something, and she didn't want to pay it back, so I was not used to her. ”

"Isn't that a problem at home?" Tang Yunshan sneered and said, "It's not virtuous to marry a wife, and my grandson brother is also quite unlucky!" For Brother Sun's sake, don't be like her. ”

Tang Niangzi rolled her eyes, "Their in-laws can find work in the village, and the other women, some of them do farm work like me, and some go to the dyeing workshop to work as female workers." Why don't you make money? My grandson is at home, and she doesn't want to come out to work. ”

Tang Yunshan looked puzzled, "It stands to reason that Brother Sun's salary is the same as mine, two taels of silver a month, plus Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun, you can earn more than one or two taels of silver a month." They don't have to pay rent, it's enough for them to spend. Why does this Sun Niangzi still borrow things everywhere? ”

Mrs. Tang leaned into her husband's ear and said, "It's not simple, do you want to save money for your private house?" It is estimated that the money that her in-laws gave her to buy vegetables and rice and noodles for her grandmother was saved by her. I didn't have anything to cook, so I borrowed it from everywhere. ”

When Tang Yunshan heard this, he immediately became angry, "How can this be? Isn't my grandson's face disgraced? No, I'll tell my brother now. ”

Tang Niangzi hurriedly grabbed Tang Yunshan's hand, "Master, don't say anything about this, how embarrassing it is." Sun Daqian is a good-looking person, if you say this to him, he will be embarrassed. Sun Niangzi has a small heart, and she will hate you. At most, the husband and wife quarreled and fought, and Sun Niangzi gave birth to three children for him, and they were still husband and wife. Later, when the pillow wind blows, you are not a person inside and out. ”
