In a blink of an eye, at the end of the month, the sky was gray, drizzling, according to the usual practice, this day is the day of pay, eating a big meal, but due to the rainy day, the staff dinner is delayed, but the salary still has to be paid.
At this moment, although many villagers have received their wages, their faces are not half happy, not because they are not happy because they have no big meals, but because they don't know how many days this rain will fall.
You must know that there is no way to make melon seeds on a rainy day, and if it rains for a day, they will have to work for one less day, and if it rains for several days, then they will lose a lot.
Because of the rain, Wang Shihu and the four of them were idle to pass the time by knocking melon seeds at Niu Dali's house, Li Xianglan and Bi'er, as well as Aunt Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were also whispering while embroidering in the side room.
"Brother Niu, I heard that those fake melon seeds have been sold very cheaply recently, is it true?" Dajin said curiously.
For this matter, Niu Dali heard Liu Fugui say that the melon seed trade in Kaiyuan County can be described as a dragon and a tiger, which directly leads to the price of melon seeds becoming cheaper and cheaper, and now even ordinary people can buy a pound or two to knock.
"This is true, now a pound of melon seeds is four yuan!" Niu nodded vigorously.
"So cheap, doesn't that mean that everyone who planted sunflowers this year is losing money!" Daikin and Dongzi said with wide eyes.
"It's not a loss, at most it's a little less money!"
Niu shook his head vigorously, although now melon seeds cost four yuan a pound, it looks cheap, but at least it is much better than growing vegetables, you must know that a pound of vegetables may not be sold for four yuan.
"Brother Niu, it's hard to say, don't you know that the landlords in many villages hire people to grow sunflowers, and they also hire people to make melon seeds, maybe the little silver earned is not enough to pay wages. Daikin laughed a little gloatingly.
"Speaking of this, it reminds me of Brother Niu and his father also planted a lot of sunflowers, and I heard that he also exchanged the family's fertile land with the villagers for dry land!!" Wang Shihu thought of something.
"I'll go, this thing is true or false, there are such stupid people who would exchange good fertile land for dry land with others!
"At this year's price, really, it's better to grow food!" Fan Zhongyun shook his head.
"I see, they are only afraid that they will die now, let them learn to grow sunflowers, and now they will suffer!" Dongzi smiled.
Fan Zhongyun and the three of them knew that Brother Niu's family was being practiced by Niu Laogen's family, so they made no secret of their contempt for Niu Laogen's family in front of Niu Dali.
Niu Dali also remembered this, remembering that the last time he bought the wasteland in the back mountain, he heard Wang Qingyang say that Niu Laogen bought a lot of dry land, and even took more than 30 acres of fertile land to exchange dry land with the villagers, planning to plant sunflowers
The sunflowers grown by Niu Laogen's family were sold to the Huang family, and now even the melon seeds are sold for four yuan a catty, and the price of sunflower seeds sold by Niu Laogen to the Huang family is definitely not more than four yuan.
However, the Huang family has planted a lot of sunflowers this year, and it is really unknown whether they can buy the sunflowers of Niu Laogen's family.
This was really guessed by Niu Dali, and now the Huang family's own sunflowers are too many to sell, how can they be idle to collect others.
And this matter has already spread privately in Xinghua Village.
If you want to say how envious Niu Laogen was at the beginning to be able to grow sunflowers, how ridiculous it is now.
You must know that when Niu Laogen bought dry land, Mrs. Qian showed off and blew in the village, saying that they had the Huang family, and they could get sunflower seeds to plant, and others couldn't buy them if they wanted to.
This can envy many villagers to death, and now the sunflowers planted by Niu Laogen cannot be sold, so naturally some people are not missing gloating.
"Brother Niu, now we have planted a lot of sunflowers in the back mountain, and it is estimated that they will mature in a few days. Fan Zhongyun hesitated.
Niu Dali knew what Fan Zhongyun was hesitating, because there were a lot of sunflowers planted in the wasteland of the back mountains, he no longer had to worry about making melon seeds without sunflower seeds, so the speed of making melon seeds in the workshop was more than twice as fast as in previous years.
In the first few days of the workshop, no matter how many melon seeds there were, they were still transported away by major restaurants, but after that, they gradually became a little weak, and the workshop began to have the remaining spiced melon seeds that were not sold.
In the past, there were few melon seeds, and they could always hang people's appetites, but now the spiced melon seeds are enough, even if his spiced melon seeds are delicious, it is impossible to eat them every day.
Now that it's like this, once a large area of sunflowers ripens on the wasteland in the back mountains, they may also have to face the same situation as the melon seeds outside, because it will lead to price reduction.
However, Niu Dali never thought of selling spiced melon seeds at a low price.
"You don't have to worry about this, we can't sell it in Kaiyuan County, aren't there other counties?"
"Why didn't I think of it?" Fan Zhongyun suddenly patted his forehead, looked at Niu Dali and said, "It seems that Brother Niu wanted to sell our spiced melon seeds to the surrounding counties when he bought the Houshan wasteland!"
Niu Dali smiled honestly, not admitting or denying it.
Wang Shihu and the three of them also reacted, daring Brother Niu to plant so many sunflowers was planning to sell melon seeds to other counties.
"Brother Niu, if our melon seeds can be sold in other counties, then other people's melon seeds can too?" Wang Shihu thought.
"What's there to be afraid of, those people's melon seeds can't sell us in the county, can they compare to us in other counties?" Dajin grinned.
"Yes!" Wang Shihu also smiled.
Since it was decided to sell the spiced melon seeds to other counties, there were a lot of things to consider.
After all, even if the melon seeds are transported to the nearest county seat, it will take several hours, and once it rains during this time, the melon seeds will be damp and the taste will not be delicious.
After some discussion, the general plan was determined, but when it came to who to transport the melon seeds, Wang Shihu and the four of them had different opinions, and even proposed to go outside to compete for the task of transporting melon seeds, and whoever won would go.
In the end, it was Niu who vigorously stopped him, "Okay, okay, this matter is not in a hurry, it's not too late to wait for the sunflowers in the back mountain to mature, if you feel itchy hands, you can talk to me!!"
Wang Shihu and the four of them stopped talking for a while, what are you kidding, talking to Brother Niu, it's not itchy hands, it's itchy skin.
"Dad, what do you think I've planted?"
Suddenly, Erya ran in and handed the wooden box to Niu Dali with a smile.
Niu Dali looked at the wooden box and was a little speechless.
Wang Shihu and the four of them also looked at it curiously, slightly stunned, the wooden box was not something else, it was a sand table for students to practice calligraphy
And at this moment, there were yellow bean sprouts emerging from the sand table in the sand table.
"You planted this?"
Niu Dali looked at the little face full of pride, and couldn't laugh or cry.
The little girl from another family goes to school in a private school, but the little girl from his family goes to grow vegetables.
