Chapter 90
"Father! Brother Changhui! Sister-in-law!"

Li Changsheng's excited voice interrupted the conversation of several people, and Lin He only had time to say something.

"Uncle, don't worry, brother Hui and I have discussed this matter, but there is one thing, if uncle's family buys seeds, I hope that when uncle sells seeds, the price will be the same as ours."

Li Yongkang nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry about this, no matter what I do, I won't let you get the truth."

If it is true that the price he sells at that time is lower, even if it is only a penny lower, in the eyes of the seed sellers, it will become the fault of Li Changhui and Lin He and his wife.

Li Changsheng finally arrived in a flash. Before speaking, he looked around mysteriously to make sure that the neighbors were far away and couldn't hear him, so he got closer.

"Father, brother Changhui, sister-in-law, I just heard from other people that taro is ten cents a catty?"

His eyes lit up with excitement.

"Have you found it?"

Li Changhui didn't give Li Changsheng a chance to show off, so he asked directly.

Li Changsheng was instantly discouraged, and he pulled the small bench next to him and sat down: "Yeah, but it's not as much as last time, but I guess I should be able to dig a dozen or so baskets."

A basket weighs more than a hundred catties, which is about a thousand catties.

Ten taels of silver!

"Father, brother Changhui, I just came to ask you, what should we do now? Anyone can dig things on this mountain, should we tell others?"

"You think you have too much money, so tell others? Do you think other people will ask you to share if they find out?"

Lin He immediately rolled his eyes: "Tomorrow, you will go hunting with Brother Hui, and then dig up the taro on the mountain, and then carry it back in the middle of the night."

"By the way, Brother Hui, doesn't he know the way from the mountain to the town? You can save some seeds and carry the rest to the restaurant. Now, the sooner you make money, the more people you will find, or the people who planted it If there are too many, this taro will be worthless.”

"Also, I forgot to tell you last time. The weather is hot, and the taro won't last long. Just save some for Xiuling to eat. It's best to plant all the rest."

After this year, it will not be easy to make money like this in the future.

Lin He never doubts the wisdom and ability of the working people. Their own conditions limit their development to a higher level, but they can understand things in the field even if they just look at them.

By next year, it is estimated that every household will plant taro, and some people may even grow better than their family.

At that time, taro will not be as valuable as it is today.

Perhaps because taro has a relatively long shelf life in autumn and winter, some vendors will harvest it and sell it far away, but at that time, the more people grow it, and with a little trickery, the price will be lowered.

The only advantage is probably the high yield of taro. As long as it is planted well, it is not a problem to produce four to five thousand catties, which is higher than the yield of sweet potatoes!
But the higher the yield, the more people want to grow it. By then, all the nearby villages will start to grow taro.

In the end, those who make money will become middlemen, and those who farm the land will have one more dish to fill their stomachs, and with a little more income, they can occasionally improve their meals.

More, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

Of course, that should be something that will happen many years later. Now, even if it is later, next year or the next year, you can also enjoy some bonuses. As for this year, Lin He is not going to give it away.

Several people discussed for a while, and finally decided that starting tomorrow, Li Changsheng followed Li Changhui to 'learn hunting', and he didn't even mind sharing some prey for Li Changsheng to take back at night.

And help dig taro, and then go directly from the mountain to the town to buy, shopkeeper Liu's restaurant, there are people on duty at night, so don't worry.

As a reward, for the taro that Li Changsheng found, he kept what he wanted to grow, and sold the rest, half of the silver and Li Changhui.

As for the trivial matters of buying land, Li Yongkang, as the village head, selected the wasteland to buy. Li Yongkang issued a certificate and took Lin He to the town yamen to handle it.

As for the taro that the uncle's family wants to grow, it is easier to explain. Li Changsheng helped dig the taro before, and Lin He gave the taro to the uncle's house. Many people in the village knew about it.

As for how much?Isn't that what they decide on their own?

After the uncle and Li Changsheng left, Li Changhui took out the silver given by shopkeeper Liu just now, and the deposit given at noon, and handed them all together to Lin He.

"Check it out, you earned it yourself."

There was a large bag here and there, including three silver ingots in the shape of gold ingots, and several large silver nuggets.

However, Lin He's cheeks twitched: "Why are there so many teeth marks, does everyone have to take a bite? It's not too dirty."

There are almost no tooth marks on the silver ingots, and that's right, many people have no access to such a large amount.

But those scraps of silver, except for the place that shopkeeper Liu cut off with scissors, are densely packed with tooth marks. It is reasonable to suspect that everyone who took over took a bite!
"It's normal. The vast majority of people use copper coins. There are too few opportunities to touch silver. If they do, they will only be excited and will not be disgusted."

Lin He wrapped the bag of the group and handed it to Li Changhui casually: "Let's put it in the original place, it will be enough for our family for a while."

There was no excitement as Li Changhui thought, and there was no other reaction except that he felt dirty.

Slightly surprised, but soon felt normal again.

After all, when it was time to eat, it was calculated that it was only 20 taels, and the little cook was also very disappointed.

It seems that although the little cook likes to save money, she is actually not sensitive to the amount of money.

"However, the shopkeeper Liu is really generous. He actually gave 20 taels of money for the recipe. I thought that even if I wanted to give it, it would only be two or three taels of silver."

Unexpectedly, the shot is 20 taels!

Li Changhui shook his head: "It's not just the recipe money."

"Huh? What is that?"

Li Changhui smiled and said, "This time you found taro, what if you find something else next time?"

"And after the autumn harvest, other restaurants will definitely come to the door. Will shopkeeper Liu and them be given priority at that time?"

"So that's how it is. I've forgotten about it. You're also hunting. If you encounter rare prey and send it to their restaurant, then they will make a lot of money."

The 20 taels is not just the price of the recipe, it is clearly a cooperation opportunity after buying them.

As long as Li Changhui and Lin He are still in Xiang'an Village, they will definitely give priority to Shopkeeper Liu.

After all, Shopkeeper Liu does know how to behave.

Li Changhui put the money back on the roof, and when he came out, he saw Lin He was explaining something to Li Yu and Li Hao. After listening carefully, he realized that he was telling them not to tell others what they had just said.

Only then did Li Changhui realize that he had been negligent again. He forgot that the two children were not carefully disciplined since they were young. They didn't know what to say and what not to say.

If Lin He hadn't reminded him, he might have turned around and told his friends what the few people said just now.

I have to admit that Lin He is indeed more careful than him, and is more responsible for these children.
