Chapter 117

Seeing that more and more people wanted to leave, Li Yan said loudly, "Everyone wait a minute, I still have something to announce."

Liu Huaying looked at her, and did not play cards according to common sense, but every time she always managed to win by surprise, what a formidable young man!

"The thing is like this. The pepper tree I planted is about to bear seeds this summer. There are a total of 260 trees to be picked. Our family is too busy. Then we will ask everyone to help. It will cost about 60 yuan a month. One day, if you are in charge of the meal, if you don’t mind the lack of money, come to me and sign up first.”

"Swallow, don't deceive people..."

Everyone doesn't believe that 60 yuan is not a small amount in the countryside, and it costs 2000 yuan a month.

"Did I pay less for the corn I bought than you? My chicken farm is here. If I lose your wages, can you spare me?" Li Yan became upset and didn't believe herself.

That's right, suddenly many people crowded in front of the Eight Immortals table and rushed to sign up.

After Liu Huaying realized it, she secretly admired Yanzi's cleverness, and quickly said, "Yanzi, your wages are not small. Is the money from selling peppercorns enough to pay?"

"Uncle Liu, what was the market price of peppercorns last year?" Li Yan asked with a smile.

"Last year pepper was still at the old price, 20 yuan a catty."

Li Yan calculated, "I have 260 trees to pick pepper this year. In the first year, each tree is only counted as 50 catties. 260×50 equals about [-]. Let's do the math. How much?"

"26... Did I calculate it wrong?" Someone quickly calculated it, and exclaimed in surprise!

His words were like throwing a string of lighted firecrackers into the crowd, causing people's hearts to rise and fall.

No wonder, growing pepper can make so much money, no wonder Yanzi pays 60 yuan a day.

"Liu cadre, I want to sign up to plant pepper trees."

"I also want."

"And I……"

Everyone immediately surrounded Liu Huaying in the middle.

"Okay, but please go to the village chief to register, I still have something to go to Little Pumpkin Village." Liu Huaying checked the time, it was almost eleven o'clock.

"Guard Liu, I only trust you."

"Yes."

"Correct."

Everyone talked about him and surrounded him.

Liu Huaying glanced at Lu Zhengyong, who was left out in the cold, and sighed secretly. It was a failure to be the village head to such an extent. "Okay, everyone, don't crowd, pay attention to safety, just sign up one by one."

After registering a dozen or so, Liu Huaying saw that the person in front of her was Granny Lu, and stopped the pen in her hand, "Grandma Lu, didn't you say that you have bad legs and can't walk uphill?"

The people behind her echoed, "That's right, Mrs. Lu, don't join in the fun, and give us two more for those with flexible legs."

"That's right, she was the one who took the lead, and she was the one who rushed to the front. I was stepped on by her just now." Jiang Dapeng said angrily.

Granny Lu turned her head and stared at them and said loudly, "What's the name, let's play, and don't want to take away what's mine."

Jiang Dapeng shook his sore feet, "Hmph, the prickly ash tree can only be harvested in three years, if your son takes you to the county town to enjoy blessings, wouldn't you be wasting your energy for nothing?"

Hearing his sarcasm, Granny Lu rolled up her sleeves, put one hand on her hip, and pointed at him with the other, ready to fight, "Whether my son picks up or not is none of your business, do you want to fight?"

Liu Huaying was really convinced, so she hurriedly called her, "Grandma Lu, come, I'll register for you."

Only then did Granny Lu turn around.

"Mother-in-law, once you plant a tree, you have to be responsible to the end." Liu Huaying instructed while writing her name.

"Guard Liu, a tree can earn 1000 yuan, even if I climb it, I have to climb to the slope." Granny Lu promised, patted her chest.
