Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 243 Chapter 240 Two: A Deal
Fifty pennies and one stone.

After hearing this, the villagers quickly calculated the accounts. He was used to farming, so he could still calculate the accounts in the field.

According to the minimum income of [-] shi for an acre of sweet potatoes in their family, they can be sold for [-] taels of silver.

If the rice harvested from one mu of land were to be sold, it would only cost two or three taels of silver.

Two taels of silver, if you buy the whole stone and the whole rice, you can buy four stones.

Four stones of rice is enough to feed their family for half a year.

These sweet potatoes are very cheap!
Eat sweet potatoes for half a year, or dry porridge for half a year, a fool knows which one to choose!
The village chief was overjoyed at the moment, pulled Yuan Shuanzi and said, "I'll go back and tell my family to dig up sweet potatoes right away! You can wait for me, let's send them to Songshan Village together!"

After all, without waiting for Yuan Shuanzi to come back, he ran away in a flash. He ran so fast that no one of his size would be able to catch up to him right now.

Yuan Shuanzi couldn't help but smile seeing his brother running so well.

Afterwards, many villagers saw Yuan Shuanzi digging sweet potatoes and asked about it. Yuan Shuanzi said it like this. After everyone heard it, they settled the accounts and thought that selling sweet potatoes was a good deal, so they all went back to dig sweet potatoes.

These ten miles and eight villages are next to each other, which one doesn't have any relatives?
Therefore, within two days, with a gust of wind, everyone knew that the Song family in Songshan Village, the girl of the Song family who collected red peppers and opened an inn, was going to collect sweet potatoes!

That set off a wave of digging up sweet potatoes. I was afraid that the Song family would collect enough sweet potatoes if they were delivered late. The whole family would go out and not stop until they collected all the sweet potatoes.

Song Qiu listened to the rumors about this matter, only pursed his lips and smiled, and didn't say anything, she wanted to accept both sides, as long as it was not rotten or damaged, she would accept as much as she gave.

Regarding the sweet potato issue, Mr. Tang called Tang Wen to ask Song Qiu to come to the house the next afternoon regarding the workshop.

Song Qiu knew that there was news, and immediately followed back to the village without delay.

Seeing Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang didn't talk about it, and said directly: "I asked your Uncle Mingde to go to Chengjiazhuang about the house and asked about it. I heard that you are going to use it as a workshop. , I immediately agreed, and said that no rent is required, and you can just use it, but you don’t have to go all over the village to say this, if everyone asks, just say that I gave you the key.”

With that said, he handed over a key.

Song Qiu thought that Uncle Donggua would definitely agree to it if she knew she wanted to rent a house, but he never thought that Donggua didn't want rent and would give it to her for free, so he waved his hand and said: "I know this, I won't talk nonsense, but it doesn't How dare I use the rent for nothing?"

Mr. Tang laughed inexplicably, "Anyway, I've given you the key, and I've said about Winter Melon. As for other things, whether you want to count the rent or not, Ah Qiu, you can tell your Uncle Winter Melon yourself later."

Song Qiu listened, thought for a while, and took the key.

After talking about the house, the village head went on to talk about recruiting people for the workshop, "Aqiu, you said that there are twenty people in the stove. Come out, it’s not easy to miss which one, there are two more people, do you think it’s okay?”

Songshan Village has a total of 24 households, not counting their own family. If there are two more people, it will be 22 families. Song Qiu heard this, and thought that the village chief's grandfather did not count as his own family.

That's right, the village chief's grandma and aunt Mingde are both busy with embroidery, so they won't be able to spare time, just like the chopping of chili peppers last time.

She nodded and said: "It's just about the two of you, it doesn't matter, it's just a family. Let's see who is coming. When it gets dark, come to my house. I'll tell them about the work."

The village chief responded and said that he would talk about it in a while.

Having settled the matter, Song Qiu went back to the inn, made dinner for the guests, ate dinner at home, left Du Chuanfu and the others in the inn, and returned to the village with the old Yuan family.

The guest surnamed Yang stayed for a month, and he became familiar with them in the past two days, so he couldn't stay in the inn for a whole month, just ask Du Chuanfu and the others to wake them up at night.

There are no other guests, they had better go back to the village.

As soon as I got home, I looked at the chickens and pigs, and there were villagers from outside who came together.

The village chief also came over with the old cigarette stick.

Song Qiu hurriedly brought out the stools and called everyone to sit down.

No one had so many stools, so the village head sat, and the others waved their hands, saying that they had just had dinner and could stand for a while, but they didn't sit down.

The people who came here knew each other, and Song Qiu didn't feel embarrassed. After a rough look, half of them came back to help chop peppers.

If there is one on each side, then there really is no family left behind.

It's Mrs. Zhang, there are only two people in the family, she is not short of this salary, anyway, she is idle, so she also came to join in the fun.

There are also six or seven men, and Zhang Hugua is among them.

Song Qiu looked around, and said directly: "The workshop will start work and we have to wait for the sweet potatoes to be harvested. It is estimated that someone will send sweet potatoes in the next day. Let's count from tomorrow, twenty coins a day, The salary is paid on a monthly basis, and it is estimated that the work can be completed in a month or so at most. I will come back to talk about what to do and how to do it. I will ask everyone to help clean up the workshop tomorrow."

The Li family's house has not been lived in for so many years, those corners need to be tidied up.

Everyone listened and echoed.

The cats are free, and they have no land. Even though each family has their own crafts to make a living, it is a good thing if someone is free and can do a job to earn some wages.

But what on earth is this sweet potato doing? There is still a workshop, let's open it, and it will be completed in a month or so at most?

It's not that this salary can only be earned for a month, it's just curiosity.

Jin Juhua spoke quickly, and immediately asked, "Aqiu, how do you harvest these sweet potatoes? I have planted several ridges in the backyard of my house, and I can dig a hundred or so catties!"

Song Qiu knew that people in the village would ask. As far as she knew, many of the people who grew in the yard were planted with sweet potatoes.

It's the old Meng's house, who lives by the woods, and I heard that a depression has been opened, and that land is the most fertile for growing sweet potatoes.

Their family has a large population, and they eat with their mouths open. They can only fill their stomachs by ordering a variety of sweet potatoes, so they tried their best to dig the ground everywhere.

The land in Songshan Village is still ample. After all, there are only about [-] households left, so the yards of every household are secluded and large.

There is a lot of land that can be opened, but it is just enough to grow some vegetables. If you really want to use it to grow rice, it will not work.

For sweet potatoes, as long as the land is fertile and the soil is good, and there are no rules, dig a hole and plant it in, and you can always get something.

"Collect by stone, fifty pennies for one stone." Song Qiu answered.

"Fifty pennies a stone? That's fine. I planted enough to buy twenty catties of brown rice. I'll dig it up when I get back." Jin Chrysanthemum nodded, obviously very satisfied.

Liu Laomeng's second daughter-in-law listened and smiled from ear to ear. Fifty pennies a stone. The sweet potatoes they planted all over the place can be collected for twenty stones. Isn't that a tael of silver?
Good guy, that's enough to buy a stone of brown rice!
It is better to eat porridge than sweet potatoes!

I have to tell my father-in-law immediately when I get home, and I will start digging sweet potatoes tomorrow!

　Well, one stone here is about 120 catties.

　　A stone of brown rice costs five hundred cash, and a catty of rough rice costs five cash.
