Tang Yunshan scratched his head and looked embarrassed, "Then Sun Niangzi has been borrowing things outside?" ”

Tang Niangzi smiled, "If we don't say it, it doesn't mean that others won't say it, anyway, this matter is just to cover the fire, and Sun Daqian will know sooner or later." You have this spare time, hurry up and dig the ground, and I'll cook. ”

When Li Dabao came over, he saw that the Tang family, father and son, did not practice this morning, but dug in the yard.

After getting their explanation, Li Dabao couldn't help but laugh, "Aunt Tang is so smart, and chili peppers are really valuable." You plant well, and I'll give you a thorough idea. My mother's words are very conservative. Last year, our family's chili pepper yield per mu was 2,500 catties, 30 wen wen wen a catty, and we earned 70 taels per mu of land. Only our place grows chili peppers, and the chili peppers that are easy to transport can be sold to other places, and the price is absolutely good. ”

When Tang Yunshan heard this, he couldn't believe it, "My God, is the chili pepper made of gold?" So valuable! ”

Li Dabao nodded, "Although the chili pepper is not made of gold, the dish tastes very good, more fragrant than dogwood, and it is delicious." Last year, only our family planted it, and the yield was small, and the supply exceeded demand. Many people can't buy it, and they come to my house and pay a high price to buy chili peppers. ”

Tang Yunshan muttered to himself, "The dry fields in the village are all planted with chili peppers. When your Aunt Tang comes back, she will open the land at home to grow chili peppers. ”

The Tang family is more interested in growing peppers.

The Sun family next door, especially Sun Niangzi, hated Tang Niangzi for not lending her things, and vigorously belittled Tang Niangzi and planted chili peppers in the yard.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Grandma said to Grandma, "We all have to go out to work, you dig the yard at home, and we also grow chili peppers." ”

Sun Niangzi was stunned, "Mother, planting things in the yard is messy and dirty." When people come to our house, they can't laugh at us? ”

Old man Sun frowned, "What's the joke?" Poverty will be laughed at, and the yard where we live is only forty-five taels of silver. Earn more, and you can buy the yard earlier. ”

Seeing that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were saying this, Sun Niangzi looked at her husband Sun Daqian, "Husband, you have so many brothers, you often come to the house, and you plant things in the yard, which is very unseemly." ”

Sun Daqian thought that his wife didn't want to work, "It's not unseemly, even Brother Tang's family is ready to plant chili peppers, let's plant them well." It's a little late today, so it doesn't matter if you can't finish digging, I'll come back and dig together in the evening or tomorrow morning. ”

The family is supportive, although Sun Niangzi is against it, but there is nothing to be done.

The children in the family have gone to school, and she is indeed very idle. Usually I can go to the street to talk to people, but now I can't, so I can only dig the ground at home with a shovel.

This kind of situation happens in almost every household in Jixiang Village, but whenever there is still a place in the yard of the house, all of them are dug up and ready to be planted with chili peppers.

The price is so expensive, it's not peppers that are planted, it's all silver!

Li Dazhuang's daughter-in-law is a local, and she also registered her mother's dry field to plant chili peppers. The three elder brothers of Zheng sorted out all the dry fields in the family into vegetable furrows according to the requirements.

In the yard of the house, at the door, peppers are also ready to be planted.

Even if it is 20 yuan a catty, the dry land of the three families is more than 20 acres, and they can make a lot of money.

Old man Zhou couldn't sit still, his family had no land in Jixiang Village, but his two sons had land, thinking about buying pepper seedlings for his two sons and letting the two sons pay for it, but his daughter-in-law was not happy, and originally wanted to buy more pepper seedlings, but Old Man Zhou was angry and only bought two acres of pepper seedlings.

The third widow saw that Old Man Zhou spent money to buy pepper seedlings for his two sons, and four acres of land cost more than a dozen taels of silver.

The money was earned by her hard work to open the store, and she couldn't spend it on anyone else. So the three widows heard from the people who often came to sell wine from the next village that someone was willing to sell their land.

She had some silver in her hand, and was going to buy four acres of land and hire someone to do the work for her.

Old man Zhou was so angry with his two sons that he did so much, and the two sons still played with him, "Four acres of land is too little, a total of a few acres of land over there, and I bought them all." ”

"A total of nine acres of land, this year's one acre of land costs ten taels of silver, plus the money to buy chili pepper seedlings, hundreds of taels of silver, we don't have so much in our hands." The third widow deliberately said that although she didn't say that Old Man Zhou bought chili seedlings for the two sons in front of her, she cared in her heart.

Old man Zhou didn't think twice, "Buy, buy it all." If you don't have enough money, go and buy it with the third child, and share the money together when the time comes. As for the shallow-eyed eldest and second children, I don't care, and I won't give them the pepper seedlings, let's plant them ourselves. Let them not listen to Lao Tzu's words, Lao Tzu let them taste the taste of greed, let them regret that their intestines are green. ”

So the three widows and Old Man Zhou, as well as Old Man Zhou and Li Yingniang, bought nine acres of land. They do business, don't have time to take care of it, and directly hire long-term workers.

The entire Jixiang Village, because of the cultivation of chili peppers, became restless, and the whole village was mobilized.

Liu Paner's family has so many pepper seedlings, and they are also ready to give to the Gu family who are familiar with each other. Of course, the giving here is also selling.

Because there is a lot of land in the family, there must be a lot of money.

Liu Paner also asked the leopard to deliver a letter to the Gu family in the county seat.

Steward Gu received the letter and came in person.

"Mrs. Derui, how many pepper seedlings can you provide for the Gu family this year?" Steward Gu asked, last year, Meiweilou sold dishes made of chili peppers, and everyone sought after them.

The shopkeeper Li of the delicious building praised the wonderful use of chili peppers more than once, and the price was thirty wen.

Last year, the quantity was small and could not be sold elsewhere. If you plant more this year, you will be able to sell it elsewhere. Especially in the capital, there are many rich people, and good things can be sold at a good price.

Liu Pan'er chuckled, "Our dry field here in Jixiang Village is ready to be planted with peppers, and there are about sixty acres of pepper seedlings left. If you can't, I'll sell it to someone else. ”

As soon as Steward Gu heard this, he immediately decided, "If you want it, Mrs. Drew, you don't need to sell it to anyone else." You look at the price, how do you calculate it? ”

Liu Paner said with a smile: "The process of raising seedlings is very complicated, and I have also worked hard, so I need to collect money to sell such pepper seedlings to the outside world." One plant costs a penny, and one acre of land needs three thousand. ”

When Steward Gu heard this, he thought in his heart, an acre of land is only three taels of silver, which is not expensive, "Okay, this price is very suitable." For the matter of raising seedlings, please ask Mrs. Drey. ”

"It should." Liu Pan'er responded, and then handed over a booklet, "Steward Gu, this is where you need to pay attention to planting peppers." After harvesting the rapeseed, you can now plough the land and make a vegetable furrow. There are clear explanations on it, as long as you make it clear to the farmers, they know how to do it. ”

"There's Mrs. Lauderry." Steward Gu nodded in response, and immediately gave sixty acres of land for chili seedlings, one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

Liu Pan'er accepted the money, and then wrote the receipt, "When the pepper seedlings are ready, I will notify Steward Gu and send someone to get them." It's best to take it back the same day and plant it the same day. If you can't take it at once, you can divide it into several times. ”

Steward Gu should be very willing, "Madame has been thoughtful, thank you very much." ”
