Yoyo Farming

Chapter 34

The vegetable seeds that Fu Niu asked for from her aunt's house were gourds, loofahs, green vegetables and potatoes. She wanted to grow corn, but at the beginning, she wanted a piece of land in the yard. The vegetables grown were enough for the two of them to eat, and they could also be sold. Planting a few more corn plants was just like playing for fun, but there was no planting at that time.

A sloping field in the backyard needs to be utilized, and a large area of ​​corn can also be planted. Fu Niu is a bit greedy. The corn cobs of tender seedlings are not old corn, and they taste sweet when they think about it.

You Shuan was watching from the side of the vegetable field with her hands behind her back, and Fu Niu looked very funny, she looked like a little old man, walking around the side of the vegetable field with her hands behind her back, and then You Shuan raised her head and said, "Sister, Anyway, there is nothing to do today, let's put up a little more shelf."

The last time it was built was not enough. Fu Niu took a look at the bamboo in the yard. Every time the bamboo was fished, she finally brought it back. shelf.

They all put up the shelves and looked at the vegetable fields below with a smile: "The seedlings haven't grown yet, the shelves are already waiting." Now hearing Youshuan say this, Fu Niu took the remaining bamboo, and Shuan went to the room to find cloth strips, and tied this bamboo with the previous one.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the mountain with Xiaomi and come back with some more bamboo." Fu Niu looked at the bamboos she had planted as she spoke. Although there are only a few bamboos now, they are just grown, and only a few are new leaves. , but it still looks like ginseng fruit to the eyes.

Youshuan also let out an exclamation full of hope: "Sister, let's build a bamboo frame next year, and we can build whatever we want. The bamboo in our yard alone is enough."

There was a burst of shouting outside the courtyard, there were crying, cursing and scolding, all of a sudden there was an earth-shattering sound, as if something big had happened.

The two siblings ran out on the road together, and at the same time saw adults and children running out of nearby homes. Those who ran out were either children or old people, and the strong laborers who were farming were all in the fields.

"It's Liu Gen's family who are crying." You Shuan confirmed it and said to Fu Niu, "Let's go and have a look?" The two of them had nothing to worry about in front of them, and they felt that it was necessary to go to see the excitement.

I walked to Liu Gen's house with the people who watched the excitement, and then I saw the village chief standing aside with a tiger's face, and the person who made the scolding voice was the village chief: "Don't farm the land behind, didn't I say it, only a few of you What about other people who don’t stick to this land, either you pay money to rent this land, or you can’t grow it, and you can’t let others in the village say that I’m unfair.”

The village head was very eloquent. An old woman in Liu Gen's family was sitting on the ground crying, which was a typical rural woman's way of crying, patting her thigh: "I'm not alive, how can you pull out all my vegetables before I can sprout? Vegetable seedlings..."

"Let's go to the next house." It turned out that the village chief couldn't stop the people who planted vegetables behind his house without authorization, so he picked people to pull the seedlings today.

Fu Niu is glad that she thought of this just now, she really wants to plant without authorization, the powerful will never be ordinary people, pulling out the seedlings that have been planted with hard work, it is really like cutting the heart.

Listening to the old lady of Liu Gen's family continuing to cry: "My vegetable seedlings." Fu Niu and a few elderly people in the village came to persuade Liu Gen's mother, watching the village chief as expected one by one. Pass.

With such crying, some people went to the fields to find the people who had gone to the fields.The people who went to the fields all came back as soon as they heard it, and more than [-] strong laborers from more than a dozen families came back together with hoes in their hands, stopped the village chief, and talked non-stop:
"What if the idle land in the back is not allowed to be planted? There is only enough food to eat all year round..."

"Idle is idle, and I can't make money. Even if I grow a few trees, it's enough for the village to do..."

Surrounded by the people he brought, the confident village head found a taller stone to stand on, and then he calmly shouted: "You can plant it if you want, or you can plant it if the land is idle. One family will pay for it every year." If you give four taels of silver to the village, you can plant whatever you want, and each piece of land can be allocated to your own home, and the tree can belong to everyone."

After shouting twice, the village chief jumped off the stone and left.The figure of four taels of silver a year scared many people, Youshuan and Fu Niu also thought about it on the way back: "Sister, I have to pay four taels of silver a year to the village, which is not a lot of money. Even if we grow vegetables, there is no profit in winter, and in spring, summer and autumn, there are vegetables for sale every day, and it is good if we can sell one hundred yuan a day, how much money can we have left?"

Fu Niu did the calculations in her own mind. It is more than a hundred cash a day. The village chief must have counted it. A hundred cash a day is a tael of silver in ten days. There are always vegetables for half a year, and every family sells fertilizer. It's farmyard manure, which doesn't cost money.It's just manual labor. One person cleans the vegetable garden at home and one person goes to the market to sell.

There is not a market every day, so I have to work hard to pick it up and sell it at the door of my house. After doing the math, Fu Niu said to Youshuan: "You can still make money by giving four taels of silver to the village, but it's just hard-earned money."

Telling You Shuan the account he had settled, You Shuan said, "It's so hard, one hundred Wen a day, why don't you go into the mountains, and you get a few hundred Wen at a time. If there are many people in my family, one more person can go." Carrying fish can cost more than one or two taels of silver at a time."

Only then did Fu Niu laugh, and she also walked to the door of the house, and said to Youshuan: "My sister did the calculation for others. We have an extra fish pond in our house. If you forgot, it will give you more money anyway."

"Then." Youshuan raised his head and said, "What if the village chief says to give more money?" Fu Niu had already thought about this problem and said, "Give more, no matter how much, it will not exceed Six taels of silver. If I have a pond, I will occupy less land, and I will pay less money for renting the land. We will talk to the village chief after we have saved enough money."

Youshuan thought about it and said, "Okay, then sister, I will keep all the money you need to enter the mountain again, and I don't worry about you spending money indiscriminately." Fu Niu untied the cloth strip that was tied to the door. , and said to Youshuan: "Don't go into the mountains, and go to the market to sell money and accompany your sister, so that my sister will not be alone."

When I went out just now, I didn't have any confidence in my heart, but now I have confidence in how much money the land lease will cost. The four taels of silver means that I have to work harder and go to the mountains for a few more trips.
