Peasant girl's pot color Tianxiang

Chapter 41 Spring is Here (3)
"Little girl Ran, what's the matter? I still have something urgent to do?" Li Ran was at the door of the village chief's house just as the village chief was anxiously going out.

"Village chief, why are you in such a hurry?" Li Ran thought that the village chief was in a hurry, so he would discuss it later in the evening.

"Isn't it spring plowing? In the past, the imperial court would distribute some seeds to each family, and the villagers didn't keep many seeds. Now the imperial court has not distributed enough, and the villagers are very anxious. I will go to the town to see. By the way, contact the owner who sells the seeds and leave some for our village."

"Oh, I still have 200 catties of rice seed left in my family. Why don't you give it to the people in the village as an emergency." Li Ran thought that the family had already bred it, and the remaining [-] catties would not be needed.

"How can this work, your rice..." The village head knew that Li Ran's family raised seedlings. No one had planted it like this before. I am afraid that Li Ran's family will not be able to do it at that time, and it will be difficult to deal with the need for seeds in the future.

"It's okay, village chief, you can just take it. Anyway, I'm here to talk about the seeds." Li Ran said happily.

"Then thank you, Xiao Ran, your rice seeds just solved my anxiety, if it's not enough, let them plant some other things." The village head thanked Li Ran very much, "By the way, you said you came Looking for me is a seed thing?"

"Yes, the village chief, my family has a kind of vegetable seeds, but no one has planted them yet. My family has already planted a stubble, and now I want to provide a few catties of vegetable seeds to the villagers. Teach everyone how to grow them, and sell them all to my house when they are ripe. The wet peppers are bought at five cents a catty, and the dried peppers are bought at twenty cents a catty. The village chief will trouble you to tell everyone, if you want to plant You can come to my house to collect, there are not many seeds now, first come, first served." Li Ran briefly expressed his thoughts.

The village chief thought about it, and did a rough calculation. He knew that one mu of land could produce about four or five hundred catties, and it could be sold for a few taels of silver. "Xiao Ran, you also know that many villagers have never planted it, and they don't understand it. What if it is not planted in other people's fields?"

"Village chief, you can rest assured that it can be planted. If others don't want to plant it, I can't help it. If you want to make money, there are risks, right? I originally wanted to buy it myself and plant it in a large area, but I thought Leading everyone can eat enough and dress warmly together, so I proposed it." Li Ran boasted that he didn't make drafts, obviously because he didn't have any land to grow at home, and he didn't have any spare money to buy land.

The village chief stroked his beard and felt that he did not love Li Ran in vain, and that he knew how to lead everyone to get rich together. "Well, you also give some seeds to my family, and I will inform everyone to come to your house to get these seeds later."

Li Ran returned home and asked Chen Shun to weigh two hundred catties to send to the village chief, while he went to the field to look at the well-raised seedlings, which were more than ten centimeters long and ready to start transplanting.

Li Ran asked old head Liu to arrange for people to start transplanting rice seedlings on dozens of acres of land in the past few days.

Everything is going smoothly and spring is in full swing.

A few days later, Aunt Ma came to the door.

"Xiao Ran, it's been a long time since you went to play with my little flower. I just cleaned up the fields in the past two days, but there are still some dry land without seeds. I heard from the village chief that you provided a kind of vegetable seeds, right? ?" Aunt Ma sat on a chair and listened to Li Ran.

"Aunt Ma, do you want to plant this kind of seed? Has the village chief explained it clearly to you?" Li Ran was afraid that the village chief would not explain clearly, so he repeated what he said that day.

"Well, I see, but what about this bastard?" Aunt Ma was concerned about this issue.

Li Ran told Aunt Ma how to plant peppers, how to treat the seeds, how to thin the seedlings, etc., and weighed a few seeds for her.

For several days in a row, people came to ask. Except for Aunt Ma's family, only a dozen or so family members came to receive the seeds. The others were afraid that they would not be able to harvest, so they lived on this little land for a year.Li Ran understood this idea very well, and Li Ran didn't force it.

Time flies, and the hottest summer is here.
