Yi Mingxue returned to her house with a few diced radish.

Elder Chen and the village chiefs he brought with him had been waiting for a long time.

Before they entered the village, they had already visited the fields of Dahe Village.

Now the winter rice grows more than half a person's height, and it is lush, which is very gratifying.

"It's amazing!! How, exactly? ”

"The growth of this winter is so good, if you sow seeds in the spring, wouldn't one acre of land be able to harvest hundreds of catties of rice?"

"There are 800 acres of fertile land in our village, and there are several hundred acres of barren land. If you can really produce hundreds of catties per mu, won't you be able to harvest hundreds of thousands of catties of grain in a year? Lao Liu, pinch me quickly, am I dreaming? ”

Several village chiefs were talking enthusiastically.

Including the few people who were not optimistic at the beginning, but they couldn't wipe off their face, and they accompanied Chen Xiang Lao to go through the motions, which was also eye-opening.

They had heard some rumors about someone planting winter rice in Dahe Village for a long time.

But no one took such an unbelievable thing seriously.

I have seen it with my own eyes to this day.

However, there are also more calm and pragmatic people in the crowd.

"Don't be too happy, it's doing well at the moment, but it's not certain how much grain you can harvest! Thunder and rain are small, and we haven't encountered them. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Lao Liu.

He is also the village chief of Luoping Village, which has the most fertile land and the richest among these villages.

Chen Xianglao touched his beard and squinted, and let them talk about it almost as much as possible.

Only then did he cough, clear his throat and say, "No matter what the harvest is, it is already very good to be able to plant it in the winter of this famine year." ”

"Have you ever heard about the big watermelons that came out of the town the day before yesterday?"

"Naturally, I heard about it! And it seems to be from Dahe Village, could it be related to this batch of rice? ”

"Yes, that batch of big watermelons is from our village!!" Li Cong took over the conversation.

Then he pushed Yi Mingxue in front of everyone, "And together with this batch of rice, it is all from her hands." ”

Several village chiefs looked at Yi Mingxue in unison.

The eyes are different, but they are all very exciting.

Some people are surprised, some people are stunned, some people are praised, and some people are skeptical.

Fortunately, Yi Mingxue is not stage frightened.

She asked Yi to gently carry a few diced turnips into the house.

He invited Chen Xianglao and the village chiefs to sit at the long table in the courtyard.

Yi Qingqing and Yi Changle brought hot tea from the house very sensibly.

Pour them one by one for everyone.

Although Chen Xianglao still has that cold appearance that is not angry and arrogant.

But the attitude towards Yi Mingxue has turned 360 degrees.

"Let me introduce you to you, this girl is the Yi Mingxue I want to introduce to you today."

Yi Mingxue got up, "I've seen all the village chiefs." ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xianglao introduced everyone present to Yi Mingxue in turn.

They are all village chiefs under his jurisdiction.

And these villages are different from their remote Dahe village.

These villages all have wider areas and better quality fertile land, and they are the big ones that many grain merchants have cooperated with in the past.

It's a pity that God hasn't opened his eyes in the past few years, and no matter how he planted in the field, the harvest was very poor.

After paying rent and taxes, the peasant households end up with little left in their pockets.

Over time, hunger became the norm.

Therefore, the village chiefs present are actually quite anxious.

As soon as he sat down, someone couldn't help but say, "Girl, uncle is a straight white man." If you make a price, our village is willing to spend money to buy your planting technology! ”

However, he was soon interrupted by others: "Hey, I said Lao Zhu, why are you in a hurry!" Which of the big guys here doesn't want it? ”

"That's it! Let's listen to the opinions of the villagers first. ”

Chen Xianglao made a quiet gesture, and then looked at Yi Mingxue on the side.

"Girl, what do you think?" The old man's eyes were already a little dim, and there was a determined strength in his gaze.

Although he didn't say much, Yi Mingxue understood the meaning in his eyes.

- You promised me before, don't regret it now.

Yi Mingxue was a little crying and laughing, and was just about to speak.

was interrupted by a woman's voice from outside the courtyard.

"Old Chen! Ouch, that's a rarity! ”

Chen Lao: "......"

Village Chiefs: "......"

Chen Xianglao turned his head to look at the person who came, it was Huang Minglan's family, and Yi's family.

"Shopkeeper Huang?" Chen Xianglao was also a little surprised.

Including Lao Liu and Lao Zhu, who were among the village chiefs, they were also a little surprised.

They all know this Huang Minglan.

Her father made his fortune in the rice and grain business in Huzhou County, and he had contacts with these large planting villages.

Later, Huang's father became seriously ill and had no children at home.

The eldest daughter Huang Minglan recruited a son-in-law, and the Huang family's business was also handed over to the eldest daughter and eldest son-in-law to take care of.

This Huang Minglan is also quite competitive, for so many years, although the main business has gradually changed from rice grain to dry goods.

But fortunately, the Huang family's family business was allowed to be guarded.

Because of her father, the past friendships like Chen Xianglao, Lao Zhu, and Lao Liu are naturally still there.

However, because the harvest in the field has not been good in the past two years, coupled with the transformation of the Huang family's business.

There will be less contact with each other.

"Old Chen!" Huang Minglan walked into the courtyard of Yi Mingxue's house and sat down at the table.

And chatted with a few people who knew her well.

Yi Laoda's family was originally a little worried, afraid that Chen Xianglao would stand on Yi Daya's side, and in the end, what they planned would be yellow again.

Unexpectedly, the third daughter-in-law was also familiar with Chen Xianglao.

It's a lot easier now.

There were so many people suddenly pouring in the courtyard of Yi Mingxue's house.

It immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.

Everyone gathered together, and all of a sudden, it became lively and crowded.

Huang Minglan's appearance interrupted Yi Mingxue's words.

Several village chiefs were originally quite unhappy.

Now that I heard Huang Minglan say such a greeting, I learned that the Huang family and the Yi family were in-laws, so I felt a little more relaxed.

Unexpectedly, Huang Minglan changed her words.

"It just so happens that Elder Chen is here today, and we also have something in our family that I want you to give me an idea."

Chen Xianglao didn't know the truth, so he asked casually.

"It's nothing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Huang Minglan snorted lightly and glanced at Yi Mingxue with slanted eyes.

He said coldly, "Do you know about the Liu family who is in the cattle business in the county?" ”

Elder Chen nodded, "I've heard a little." ”

"Then what do you think of the Liu family's life?"

Chen Xianglao: "Naturally, they are honest people, and their lives are not bad." ”

"A person like this, can I climb my niece Yi Mingxue?" Huang Minglan continued.

Her voice grew more and more urgent, with a clear hint of anger.

Now, Chen Xianglao can hear the taste. Although he is old, he is not old and confused.

It seems that the Huang family wants to say goodbye to Yi Daya, but Yi Daya herself doesn't agree?

If it were an ordinary person, Chen Xiang Lao would definitely teach this girl to be married a good lesson.

After all, the elders of the family are in charge of major marriage matters.

What's more, this Liu family is not bad, and it is more than enough for the former Yi family.

But now I still have important things here, waiting for Yi Mingxue to help.

How can I participate in her family affairs at this juncture?
