Escape from the desert

In the beginning, the villagers who borrowed water in the village gave a lot of food and copper coins, but now Liujia Village has cut off the water before Jiangjiazhai, and the closest is Linjia Village, which they hated and oppressed at first.

So during this time, the village chiefs of Liujia Village came to visit every three or five minutes. In addition to borrowing water, they also wanted to build a row of bamboos from the back mountain to lead the water directly to Liujia Village. In this way, the rice in their village might also be able to Save some.

Jiang Yan listened to the gossip of the two daughters-in-law all day, and knew more or less about the situation in the nearby villages. Linjia Village was a smart person who knew the downsides of being a target of public criticism, so she had long agreed to Liujia Village's request.

He knew very well that if the water shortage in several nearby villages could be resolved, then even if Linjia Village had a good harvest, he would still be safe and sound. , they will all fall into trouble and become bandits, and then Linjia Village will be a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

The afternoon passed quickly, and before dinner time, the village chief led a large group of people in. Jiang Yan said that making money is now a major issue in the village. Full of pots.

So in the afternoon, there were not many families who went to the fields. They were all watching in the village. When they saw the village chief go out, they gathered behind them in twos and threes. When they reached the gate of Lin's house, they were already a mighty group of people. .

Among them, there was Wang Cuihua's family who had just been mad at noon, and some villagers who didn't know it tried to find out how to make money from Aunt Jiang from her. Wang Cuihua's face was about to become angry. With this stinky face, the villagers did not dare to ask any more questions, and followed the village chief expectantly.

"Jinhua, pour a few cups of tea, the village chief is here." Jiang Yan shouted towards the back room. Her house is small, so naturally it is impossible for everyone to come in. The village chief's family came in, and the villagers could only chat outside. The enthusiasm was in full swing, and there was even a lot of discussion around the horse.

The village chief stepped into the house, and his two sons followed. Not long after they sat down, Lin Xi led Old Wu and Lin Yousheng in.

After everyone sat down, Jiang Yancai said, "Village chief, I plan to ask the villagers to help grow a condiment, this is it." Then she took out the chili seeds that she had bought in the mall, and continued: "I If you want to plant [-] acres of land, there are more than [-] families in the village, and it is impossible for every family to plant it, so I thought about letting the village chief select dozens of households in the village, and each family will plant a few acres of land.”

The village chief couldn't wait to hold Jiang Yan's hand, and he said excitedly: "Farming! Our villages are all old-fashioned, and we understand all the troubles in the field. If you let them do other things, they may not be sure. It will."

"Just how do you plant this thing? Is it harvesting leaves or vegetable stems? Fifty acres of land can be planted a lot, Xiaojiang, will you finish harvesting by then?" The village helped to plant it, and you won't be able to collect it by then, and the big guy doesn't know what it is, so what if you smash it in your hand?"

The village chief said it bluntly. He thought about the villagers wholeheartedly. If Aunt Jiang couldn't take this common vegetable, the villagers could spontaneously go to the town to sell it, but he had never seen this before. .

Jiang Yan smiled and said with a firm voice, "Don't worry, I'll definitely have it all. I'll take as much as I have at that time. This chili can produce about [-] kilograms per acre. If you take good care of it, there will be more. I charge it at three cents a pound, and if it’s dried and ground like this, it’s five cents a pound.”

She pointed to a bit of dried chili that came out of the bowl. It was a wild chili that was picked from the mountain before. The color was not red enough, but after drying and grinding, it was similar to the chili noodles bought in the mall.

The village chief calculated in his heart, if this amount is true, one mu of land can earn almost two taels of silver, and fifty mu of land is 100 taels!God, when did the village have so much money!This is a big deal!

If Xiaojiang can really accept it all, the village will not have to worry about anyone starving to death this year!When the weather gets cold, maybe the family can add winter clothes so that they won't starve or freeze, and they can have a good New Year comfortably!

The more he thought about it, the brighter the village chief's eyes became. He looked at Jiang Yan as if he was looking at a walking silver ingot. He shouted excitedly: "Xiao Jiang! This is no joke! I have a way to find someone in the village to help with planting. But when the time comes, you must be sure to accept it, otherwise I will not be able to explain it to the village."

Jiang Yan nodded: "You can rest assured on this point, I have signed a cooperation agreement with the restaurant in the town, as long as one comes out, someone will come to collect it immediately, this pepper matures quickly, and the fruit can be harvested in about three months. already."

Lin Yousheng immediately echoed: "Old Village Chief Lin, don't worry, Xiaojiang is amazing now. The owner of the restaurant didn't take it, so he gave Xiaojiang the money first, and Lao Wu and I were stunned on the spot."

The old Wu who was named also quickly nodded in agreement. There was no expression on his face, and the lines on his face were cold and hard. This serious appearance was unconvincing for no reason.

The village chief frowned, and after a long pause, he remembered who was in front of him: "Old Wu, I haven't seen you in the village for a long time."

The village chief looked at Lao Wu calmly, and then looked at Jiang Yan, wondering how the two families who were incompatible with each other got together. In the past, Aunt Jiang scolded them the most vicious and ruthless in the village. Still reconciled.

Jiang Yan smiled embarrassedly, she naturally knew what the village chief was thinking, she coughed twice, and continued: "The matter of finding people in the village will trouble the village chief, and then about planting, you will discuss with Angkor and Yousheng. ."

"In addition, I have another matter. I want to ask the village chief to find a few people in the village who can build houses."

When the village chief heard this, he immediately asked, "Are you going to build a house?"

Jiang Yan nodded and said, "There are a lot of people in the family, there are only two rooms, the weather is hot, it's really hard for everyone to be crowded together, I think about repairing the house, adding two more rooms, and then building a stable and sheep pen. "

The village chief stroked his beard: "It's not difficult, we can do it in our village. I'll pick people when I go back tonight, and let them come over tomorrow. You help the village find water sources and give everyone a chance to make money. You The money for repairing the house will come from our village."

After speaking, the village chief confirmed again and again: "Then you can harvest some peppers when you grow them!"

Although Aunt Jiang has changed a lot and is not as cunning as before, the village chief is still a little flustered. If Aunt Jiang really refuses to accept it, then he, the village chief, has committed a serious crime.

Jiang Yan knew that the village chief trusted herself now, she nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, you just have to find people to plant, as long as you are willing to plant, I will pay some money in advance, and I don't need to trouble the village to repair the house. I'll pay for it myself!"
