After evacuating the Hou Mansion, I fled famine with my pregnant belly

Chapter 258 The Shocked Village Chief

That night, the Feng family invited the whole village to have a good meal. At the dinner table, Feng Jiuyou even mentioned a few words intentionally or unintentionally.

In the spring of next year, she plans to plant a new type of crop in the open wasteland.and workshops and the like.

He was heard by the village chief sitting at the next table.

What a shrewd person is the head of Yuhe Village, when he hears about new crops?workshop?His eyes lit up, and after everyone left, he immediately came to talk to Feng Jiuyou.

"Mrs. Feng, what are you going to plant? Can you bring the big guy with you?"

Feng Jiuyou's aura is so strong that the village chief originally wanted to call out You girl, but in the end he changed it to Mrs. Feng abruptly.

"The village head is very polite, I plan to plant sugar cane."

Feng Jiuyou had already thought about it. After the spring of next year, she planned to build a few workshops in Yuhe Village.

Among them is a sugar workshop, and the raw material is indispensable for sugar production, which is sugar cane.

"Sugar cane, what is sugar cane?"

The village head was full of confusion.

"I won't say much about this. If the villagers are willing to plant, I can provide seeds, but I have one condition."

Feng Jiuyou played tricks, but she knew that sugar in this era was not extracted from sugar cane.

Rather, it is extracted from beets.

Because of technology, the amount of sugar produced is still very small, and only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford sugar.

"What conditions?"

The village chief asked hurriedly.

"After planting it, you must sell it to my Feng family."

Hearing this, the village chief hesitated.

"Village chief, don't worry, I will never treat the villagers badly. Moreover, the yield of sugar cane is very high, with a yield of five or six thousand catties per mu."

Feng Jiuyou saw that the village head was hesitant, so he threw a bomb directly.

"What? What are you talking about? Five or six thousand catties. Are you kidding me?"

The village chief jumped up from his chair in shock.

"How could I joke about such a thing?"

Feng Jiuyou said with a smile, this is still a conservative output. In some places in this world, the output can reach 1 to 2 jin.

"You girl, isn't the price very low for such a high output?"

Hearing the output, the village chief was worried about whether the price would be too low, so he forgot to be nervous, and called Feng Jiuyouyou girl directly.

"Village Chief, let me tell you the real price is three Wen per catty."

"Three Wen per catty? Five or six thousand catties per mu, five or six thousand catties... Three Wen per catty, my goodness, the harvest of one mu of land in a year is at least 15 taels of silver. I'm not dreaming."

Hearing Feng Jiuyou's quotation, the village chief muttered for a while, then suddenly screamed.

Dalang and Erlang, who were eavesdropping outside, were all taken aback.

"What is my aunt talking to the village head grandpa? The village head grandpa is so excited."

"My aunt is so powerful, she must have said something shocking."

Goro said cutely.

"You smart ghost, can you talk?"

Dalang tapped his forehead.

"Hey...Brother, why are you so fierce?"

Goro aggrieved and rubbed his painful head.

He was right again.

Feng Jiuyou glanced at Dalang Erlang and the others who were eavesdropping outside, and then said to the village chief who had calmed down:
"Not only that, this sugarcane can be harvested twice once planted, but the second yield is not as high as the first, and the quality is not as good as the first, so the price can only be one penny per catty."

"Mrs. Feng, it should be conditional for you to teach us to grow sugar cane."

The village chief who calmed down returned to his former shrewdness, and said while looking at the eloquent Feng Jiuyou.
