At the beginning, the villagers who went to borrow water in the village gave food and copper money, but now Liujia Village has cut off the water before Jiangjiazhai, and the closest is Linjia Village, which was hated and oppressed by them at the beginning.

So during this time, the village chief of Liujia Village came to visit every three or five days, in addition to borrowing water, they also wanted to build a row of bamboo directly from the back mountain to lead the water directly to Liujia Village, so that the rice in their village might be able to save some.

Jiang Yan listened to the gossip of her two daughters-in-law all day long, and she knew more or less about the situation in several nearby villages.

He understands very well that if the situation of water cuts in several nearby villages can be solved, even if the harvest of Linjia Village goes up, it will be safe and sound, and if everyone can't survive, Linjia Village will still eat and drink, even if they are not bandits, they will all fall into the grass and become bandits, then Linjia Village will be a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

The afternoon passed quickly, and before dinner, the village chief led a large group of people in, Jiang Yan said that making money is now a major event in the village, and the big guys are worried about it, and they can't wait to participate in it immediately, so as to make a lot of money.

So in the afternoon, there were few families who went to the field, all of them watched in the village, and as soon as they saw the village chief go out, they gathered behind in twos and threes, and when they walked to the gate of the Lin family, they were already a huge group of people.

Among them, there was Wang Cuihua's family who had just been angry at noon, and some unaware villagers tried to pick up some ways to make money from Aunt Jiang, Wang Cuihua's face was almost crooked, she didn't want to know, seeing her stinky face, the villagers didn't dare to ask again, and followed the village chief in anticipation.

"Jinhua, pour a few cups of tea, the village chief is here." Jiang Yan shouted towards the inner room, her house is small, naturally it is impossible to let all the people in, it is the village chief's family who comes in, and the villagers can only chat outside in full swing, and there are even people talking around the horse.

The village chief stepped into the house, and his two sons also came in, and not long after they sat down, Lin Xi led Lao Wu and Lin Yousheng in.

After everyone sat down, Jiang Yan spoke: "Village chief, I plan to ask the people in the village to help grow a condiment, this is it." Saying that, she took out the chili pepper seeds she had bought in the mall in advance, and continued: "I want to plant 50 acres of land, and there are more than 200 households in the village, and it is impossible for every household to plant them, so I want to ask the village chief to pick dozens of households in the village and plant a few acres of land for each family." ”

The village chief couldn't wait to hold Jiang Yan's hand, and he said excitedly: "It's okay to farm!" Our village is all Lao Ba style, and I understand that if you let them do something else, they may not be. ”

"But how are you going to grow this thing? Is this a leaf harvester or a vegetable pole? Fifty acres of land is a lot, Xiao Jiang, will you finish harvesting by then? Saying that, the village chief looked embarrassed: "If the village helps to plant it, you won't be able to harvest it by then, and the big guy doesn't know what this thing is, so what can you do if you smash it?"

The village chief said bluntly, he was thinking about the people in the village, if this was a common vegetable seed, if Aunt Jiang couldn't collect it, the villagers would be able to spontaneously go to the town to sell it, but he had never seen this thing.

Jiang Yan smiled, and said in a firm voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely want it, I will collect as much as I have when the time comes, this pepper can produce almost 800 catties per mu, if you take care of it well, there are more, I will collect it according to one catty and three cents, if it is dried and ground like this, according to one catty and five cents." ”

She pointed to a little dried chili pepper from the bowl, which was the wild chili pepper she had picked up the mountain before, and the color was not red enough, but after drying and grinding, it was similar to the chili noodles bought in the mall.

The village chief secretly calculated in his heart, if it was really this amount, one acre of land could earn almost two taels of silver, and fifty acres of land would be one hundred taels! God, when has there been so much money in the village! That's a big deal!

If Xiao Jiang can really take it all, the village doesn't have to worry about people starving to death this year! When the weather is cold, maybe the family can add a winter coat, not starve and not freeze, and have a comfortable New Year!

The more he thought about it, the village chief's eyes became brighter and brighter, looking at Jiang Yan as if he was looking at a walking silver ingot, and he shouted excitedly: "Xiao Jiang! No joke! I have a way to find someone in the village to help me with the planting, but you have to make sure that you can harvest it when the time comes, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the village at that time. ”

Jiang Yan nodded: "You can rest assured at this point, I have signed a cooperation agreement with the restaurant in the town, as long as one comes out, someone will come to harvest it immediately, this pepper ripens quickly, and it can be harvested in almost three months." ”

Lin Yousheng immediately echoed: "Old Village Chief Lin, don't worry, Xiao Jiang is very powerful now, the owner of the restaurant didn't have anything, he gave Xiao Jiang the money first, and Lao Wu and I were stunned on the spot." ”

Lao Wu, who was named, also hurriedly nodded in agreement, he had no expression on his face, the lines of his face were cold and hard, and this serious appearance was convincing for no reason.

The village chief frowned sparsely, and carefully looked at it for a while, before remembering who the person in front of him was: "Old Wu, I haven't seen you enter the village for a long time." ”

The village chief looked at Lao Wu quietly, and then looked at Jiang Yan, wondering how the two families who were incompatible got together, in the past, Aunt Jiang scolded them the most fiercely and ruthlessly, and now they are reconciled.

Jiang Yan smiled embarrassedly, naturally knowing what the village chief wanted, she coughed dryly twice, and continued: "The matter of finding people in the village will trouble the village chief, and after that, you will discuss the matter of planting with Angkor and Yousheng." ”

"In addition, I have another matter, I want to ask the village chief to find a few people in the village who can build houses."

When the village chief heard this, he immediately asked, "You want to build a house?" ”

Jiang Yan nodded and said: "There are many people in the family, just two rooms, the weather is hot, everyone is really hard to huddle together, I want to repair the house, add two, and then repair a horse shed and sheepfold." ”

The village chief touched his beard: "These are not difficult, our village will do it, I will pick people when I go back tonight, and let them come over tomorrow, you help the village find a water source, and give everyone a chance to make money, and the money for you to repair the house will come from our village." ”

As he spoke, the village chief repeatedly confirmed: "You can harvest the peppers when they are planted!" ”

Although Aunt Jiang has changed a lot, and she is no longer as tricky as before, the village chief is still a little panicked, if Aunt Jiang really doesn't accept it at that time, then he, the village chief, will commit a big crime.

Jiang Yan knew that the village chief trusted her very much now, she smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, you just have to find someone to plant, as long as you are willing to plant, I will give some fixed money in advance, and I don't have to trouble the village about repairing the house, I will pay the money myself!" ”
