Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 153 153 Thanks to Liu Ze

Fifty catties per person, 27 people, that is nearly 350 catties!

If all of this is planted as seeds, how much food will be harvested!

If it wasn't for Jiang Hu not being his subordinate, and Mr. Xie really liked Jiang Hu because of his original plan to save the seed, he would have almost punched him twice.

Fortunately, in the end, I just kept chanting 'prodigal son', and then didn't say much.

Now that a decision has been made, everyone will not delay.

Putting the tax and food together separately, the Jiang family only kept [-] catties of grain, [-] catties each of sorghum and corn, and sold the rest.

Not much, even a little less, but after waiting for more than a month, the rice can be harvested, and there are still sweet potatoes in the field.

The 27 people on Liu Zhi's side weighed 130 catties of corn and sorghum individually, and asked Liu Zhi to personally weigh the corn and sorghum.

These are their seeds. According to what Liu Zhi said, each person will get five catties each, and Mr. Xie will not charge any money.

On the construction site, there is the grain that Jiang Hu took before, but it was last year's grain, not this year's new grain.

But now there is not much old grain, and all the new grain is sold except for the Jiang family's own. Starting tomorrow, Jiang Hu will sell grain to the workers.

Master Xie settled the accounts and asked Zhang Hu and the others to load the grain into the ox cart.

Before coming here, Mr. Xie had already made up his mind that he needed to buy a lot of food to go back, so today the ox carts are twice as much as usual, which is enough.

Of course, the money was well prepared, and he sent a guard to pick up the money in his carriage, Mr. Xie said to Jiang Hu.

"I know that the prices of buying grain and selling grain are different. Even if I buy your grain at a price [-]% higher than that of the grain farm, you will not be able to buy grain at the same price when you go to the grain farm."

"In this way, when we get to the town, I will personally go to the grain farm and tell the grain farm that if you go to buy grain, it will only be sold at the price you charged. Of course, the purchase limit is only two thousand catties, okay?"

Two thousand catties is enough for the workers to work. After the house is built, the Liangzhuang will not lose too much.

Jiang Hu was startled, and immediately reacted, and quickly said: "Master Xie, I don't think there is any need for this, the shopkeeper..."

Before he finished speaking, Master Xie interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Hey, I can't say that. You are so generous to take out all the grain and take care of the people in Chengxian County. The grain farm just earns a few taels of silver. It's no big deal."

"Besides, this is also doing good deeds. With this batch of seeds, next year's crops will be bumper, won't his grain farm be able to earn more?"

Master Xie has already mentioned this point, so Jiang Hu no longer refuses.

The guards quickly brought the money, and Mr. Xie gave Jiang Hu a lot of money.

Jiang Hu put the silver into his arms without any hassle. Now, when he looked at the silver, he was no longer as excited as before.

On the contrary, Mr. Xie was a little surprised to see Jiang Hu's understatement.

However, Jiang Hu didn't notice this. Instead, he looked curiously at the ox cart outside the yard. Whether it was tax food or bought by Mr. Xie, they were all piled up together, and it was impossible to tell them apart.

"Master Xie, can you ask a little more, if you put them all together like this, won't you have to divide them up again when you go back?"

Mr. Xie now has so many grains and is in a great mood, he patted Jiang Hu on the shoulder with a big laugh.

"Brother, I don't intend to put these things into the national treasury."

Jiang Hu was startled: "What?"

Cold sweat came down.

Master Xie was not nervous at all, and continued to explain calmly.

"Let's put it this way, the things taken back from Fu'an Village, whether it's food taxes or the things I bought, are all used as seeds."

"As for the gap in food tax, just buy some from other places to fill it up."

A false alarm, Jiang Hu's clothes were soaked.

Mr. Xie, however, had his hands behind his back, and he finally had the attitude of being an official.

He deliberately glanced at Jiang Hu angrily: "Why, I'm afraid we will steal food from the treasury."

Jiang Hu waved his hands again and again: "No, Mr. Xie misunderstood, I just said it casually."

Master Xie just put on a show, and he quickly returned to the original state.

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm still in a hurry to take the things back to the county, so let's go."

Master Xie waved his hand as he spoke, ready to go back.

Just as he turned around, he stopped suddenly: "Jiang Hu, are you sure these sorghum won't die in winter?"

Jiang Hu didn't dare to guarantee it directly, but he said: "Master Xie, most people in the village know that the sorghum grew together with my family's wheat that year, and when the wheat was about to be harvested, the sorghum just matured."

What Jiang Hu said was the first year he encountered sorghum seeds.

Master Xie nodded: "Okay then, when I get back to Cheng County, I'll find a quick spot first and hit it once."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again: "Jiang Hu, I think you can be more diligent. For example, you can plant another crop of sorghum in winter."

With these words, Jiang Hu was speechless, he was not lazy in winter, didn't he want to grow wheat and rapeseed in winter!
But before he had time to refute, Mr. Xie got into the carriage.

The guards turned the front of the car, raised the whip, and the carriage left Jiang's house.

Erniang came out of the kitchen with an apron tied around her waist, wiping her hands: "Why did you just leave? The meal is almost ready."

After such a busy schedule, it's already time for lunch.

Country people don't have many good etiquettes for entertaining guests, they just invite them to have a meal and eat something good.

So when Jiang Hu took Mr. Xie to find Liu Zhi and the others, Erniang asked Xiaoxue and Liu Ze to help choose vegetables, and asked Qixi who had just returned home to help cook the fire.

It's just that the meal is almost ready, and it's almost time for the meal, so why did people run away?
Jiang Hu hurriedly dragged Erniang back to the kitchen, as if he was afraid that Mr. Xie would come back suddenly.

Erniang was puzzled: "What's the matter? Didn't you guys speak well just now?"

Jiang Hu's cheeks twitched: "Fortunately, Mr. Xie and the others left early. I'm afraid that if he eats this meal, he will take away the last bit of food."

He kept three hundred catties each, including next year's grain seeds!
Er Niang whispered: "No way? Is that an exaggeration?"

Jiang Hu shook his head helplessly: "Er Niang, you didn't see that Mr. Xie was afraid to leave some more food for me. If I hadn't said that Ozawa couldn't eat the food he bought, he would have wished to only leave us the grain seeds and buy the rest. gone."

Then let them buy and eat.

Knowing that Mr. Xie is for the common people, it is a good intention, but Jiang Hu really has no way to be so impartial.

Mr. Xie only knows that these sorghum corns have a high yield. How can he know that the things in Fu'an Village, apart from the yield, the most important thing is the taste!
Put away the good things at home, go out and buy food for the children, he still can't do it.

Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and patted Liu Ze who was passing by.

"Ozawa, today is thanks to you."

Liu Ze: "???"

What did I do?I really don't want to do anything?Is it to help my aunt choose vegetables?
