Peasant Girl's Plane Trading

Chapter 68 068: Harvesting Vegetables

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and Wang Tingting has now reached the third level of martial arts, and even the third level of Qi training. Helping each other and discussing, I have also practiced martial arts to the third level, which is much faster than expected, but this is inseparable from everyone's efforts and resources.

And Wang Tingting also had her first birthday in this world. She is six years old. Wang Tingting doesn't really care about whether there is any banquet for her birthday. As long as someone cares about her, she will be very happy. Two boiled eggs and a bowl of longevity noodles made Wang Tingting very moved.

Now the vegetables planted in the field are almost ready to be harvested. Now in the village, the vegetables from the Qian family and the Wang family are planted first, so they mature earlier. Seeing that the vegetables of other villagers were not yet ripe, they quickly hired everyone to collect all the vegetables.

The Qian family grows many types of vegetables, including rapeseed, leeks, cucumbers, spinach, etc. Some vegetables can only be harvested for one season, and then new vegetables can be planted, and some can be harvested repeatedly. New ones are coming, cucumbers can be picked for a long time, and leeks can grow again after cutting.

Things like spinach are harvested and can only be replanted. Fortunately, not all of them need to be replanted, otherwise it will be too late. After all, people in the village have basically started to grow vegetables, and they have to go back to harvest. The family's own food is gone, and if it takes too long, the Qian family's ten mu of land is really difficult to deal with.

Immediately after the Qian family's vegetables were harvested, a horse-drawn carriage came to transport the vegetables. It was a show and a complete set. Naturally, these vegetables could not disappear for no reason. For a ten-acre field of vegetables, the average output per acre is 2 tons, which is 20 tons of vegetables. If you buy them at a relatively low price of one penny per catty, it will cost 20 taels of silver.

Don't underestimate the 20 taels of silver, 20 taels of silver is definitely a huge sum of money in such a small mountain village, and this is only a few months of income. Vegetables grow very fast, unlike grain harvested in a year Once, vegetables can be harvested every few months, so it is much more cost-effective than growing food, and these lands are still developed from wasteland, not fertile fields.

As soon as the income of the Qian family was announced, the villagers were shocked immediately, and the vegetables in the villagers' fields were almost ripe, so every household was looking forward to their own income.It's just that everyone regrets why they didn't open up more wasteland at the beginning, otherwise they would definitely be able to earn more money.

Wang Tingting's family also reclaimed two acres of land to grow vegetables, and the planting time was very early, so they harvested it almost at the same time as the Qian family, but the Wang family harvested it alone, so naturally it was slower than the Qian family. The Qian family owned much more land than the Wang family, but the Qian family hired a lot of people to help, while the Wang family only had their own people busy.

However, Wang Tingting's family got up early and stayed late for a few days, so they collected all the vegetables in the field and transported them away with the vegetables of the Qian family. The vegetables on the two acres of land earned almost four taels of silver, and they got a lot of money. The people immediately went to the village head to buy the two mu of land planted, because it was wasteland and the price was not high, it was only one tael of silver per mu of land. The income generated will continue to flow.

"These days, you have all worked hard. If you are rich, go buy a catty of meat and come back. Everyone will make up for it. Now growing vegetables is not as profitable as you thought. Compared with growing food, you can make more money. Now the vegetables in the ground can be picked frequently. Although the amount may not be as large as the first time, it is still a steady stream of income, how can I earn a tael of silver a month, this is something I have never imagined before." Grandma said happily.

"Mom, I'll go right away, but mother, we just bought the two acres of vegetable land we cultivated, and the two acres of land planted with taro haven't been bought yet. Now the vegetables are so profitable, and taro is also worth buying. That's right, should we also buy the taro land?" Wang Fugui said.

"Wealth makes sense. It's because our family doesn't have enough money. Otherwise, in addition to the four acres of land, we can buy some wasteland to grow vegetables, so we don't have to worry about it in the future." Grandpa said.

"However, I think it's almost enough to plant the current four acres of land. If there is too much, we will be too busy. Besides, I don't know if this business can continue to be done. If we don't harvest it in the future, the vegetables will be white. And now there is no good land to buy, the villagers have occupied some, the good land has long since disappeared, and the bad ones are bought, and the vegetables grown are not good." Grandma said.

"Xiuying is right. I was not thinking about it. Four acres of land is enough, and I can earn a lot of money. If you are not greedy, it will be bad if you are self-defeating." Grandpa said.

Because of selling vegetables and earning money, everyone in the family is very happy today. Because these people are busy at home, Wang Tingting didn’t go to Qian’s house anymore, but helped the family pick vegetables, and she can appreciate the hard work and harvest. joy.

"Everyone is very tired these few days, but after the harvest is over, it's easy every day now, just go to the vegetable field every day to see and pick the ripe ones, and there won't be so many in the future, so one or two people This task can be completed, and the vegetable field must be taken care of, which is the biggest income in the family now." Grandma said.

You have to know that in the past, apart from the food that could be sold for money, the only way to raise some chickens was to lay eggs and sell them to subsidize the family. Now growing vegetables makes a lot more money than picking up two eggs a day. One penny is one catty, every day To be able to earn tens of hundreds of coins, this is simply a windfall for ordinary people in small villages, which has never been imagined.

A catty of meat, a large family can't eat much at all, but everyone is still very happy, as long as this continues, life will get better and better. Who doesn't want to live a good life, but life is forced, so there is Everyone cherishes the opportunity to live a good life.

The other families in the village basically got one tael or two taels of silver. Everyone got benefits, so they were naturally more grateful to the Qian family.
