Chapter 67 Scaling Up
Things that don't need to be taken care of if they are planted in the ground cost two cents a catty, which is very cost-effective for everyone!

Those who did not grow potatoes regretted it and envied it.

So people came to Zhao Liya and the others to ask, would they be harvested by their relatives in other villages?
Of course, Zhao Liya never refuses anyone who comes.

She needs a lot of potatoes to make seeds, and the potatoes are durable. If there are a lot of potatoes, some potato vermicelli can be made this winter.

So everyone was refreshed again, and many people went to relatives' homes in other villages to talk about it.The news gradually spread, and when the other villages heard the news, they also dug up potatoes and sold them by hand.

Among them are the villagers of Bajiaozhai.

Many people in Bajiaozhai also planted potatoes. After hearing the news, they quickly dug them up and brought them over to sell.

Li Xiaoying's family also planted some corners and corners, and dug them out in a hurry. They borrowed a scale from the village and weighed it first. It was more than 360 catties, which was more than 700 Wen.

With this sum of money, the family will have winter clothes, and there will be some money left over to buy two catties of salt and two catties of sugar for the New Year.

Qu Yutao was already very proficient in doing these things, so Zhao Liya simply handed over the matter to her, including purchasing, weighing, and shipping.With the help of Uncle Ruan Gui, Li Guangwu, and Li Guangqing, nothing can be missed.

Obviously, we can't store so many at home. Fortunately, the sugarcane workshop has been completely completed, and there are many warehouses, which can be stored just right.

Zhao Liya and Hu Ling are discussing with Zaihu Village, planning to buy another [-] mu of land to expand the sugarcane field next year.Li Zheng was very happy, patting his chest and expressing that he would handle this matter properly.

By the way, Zhao Liya said that she plans to buy some land in Bajiaozhai: "I plan to grow potatoes, and plant a few hundred acres. Does Uncle Li know that Bajiaozhai is reliable? Can you buy land in their village?"

Although Li Zheng wished that all the benefits would fall on his own village, he also knew that it was impossible.There are potatoes today, and there may be other things tomorrow. Bajiao Village is also Brothers Village after all, so it's okay for them to eat this benefit.

Zhao Liya asked him about Bajiaozhai, and he was very happy in his heart, so he said with a smile: "The old men in charge of Bajiaozhai are still people who keep their word, hum, it doesn't count if you dare to speak, and dare to bully our boss. We will not spare them if we kill Tiger Village!"

These words made both Zhao Liya and Hu Ling laugh.

Zhao Liya smiled and said: "It's good to be brave. With you as the masters for us, we can be regarded as people with a mother's family and a backer! Then let's do this. We plan to go to Bajiao Village tomorrow. If you If you are free, can you go with us? If you are not free, that's fine."

Uncle Li naturally wouldn't refuse, he was eager to go, and immediately slapped his thigh, "Go, of course! Don't be embarrassed to say which piece of land you like, I will keep it for you!"

Zhao Liya laughed, "Thank you!"

"Hey, you should, you should!" Uncle Li was very curious: "Miss Zhao, I'm a little curious. Why do you grow so many potatoes? They taste good, but you can grow so many."

Zhao Liya smiled: "Well, let me keep it a secret for a while. The potatoes taste really good. When I am free from work, I will teach you how to cook with potatoes. There are many ways to eat them. Let’s go! The yield of potatoes is high, and we don’t choose land. If we have few paddy fields at home, we can plant more of them. Tell me, can they be eaten as food? At least you won’t be hungry!”

Uncle Li's eyes lit up, "Hey, it's true! So, this thing is really a good thing! It would be even better if Ms. Zhao taught us to cook more potato dishes!"

Zhao Liya nodded: "Well, definitely."

"Haha, then my old man will thank Miss Zhao first!"

"You are welcome!"

Uncle Li stopped asking Zhao Liya why he planted so many potatoes.Since this is a way of making money, it is understandable that people refuse to talk about it for the time being.

He just asked casually out of curiosity, not necessarily knowing.

Anyway, you will always know in the future, right?
Just do what you say, the next day, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling went to Bajiaozhai together with Uncle Li and Uncle Ruan Gui.

When everyone saw Ms. Zhao and Mr. Hu coming, they more or less guessed why, and because the legitimate purchase of potatoes can be sold for money, their favorability stacked up and they became more enthusiastic.

As soon as Zhao Liya and the others entered the village, countless villagers greeted them attentively, surrounded and followed with smiles on their faces.Someone had already rushed to tell the Zheng and Patriarch of the village.

Li Xiaoying, as someone who had been to Zhao's house, was also an important person in the village who came forward to receive her. Of course, someone rushed to tell her, and she was also surprised and happy, and hurried over to say hello.

Talking to Zhao Liya and seeing everyone's envious expressions made Li Xiaoying very proud.

Looking at this posture, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were a little stunned!
Fortunately, both of them have seen big scenes, otherwise they would have been scared.

Zhao Liya didn't know whether to laugh or cry: With this posture, it will be very difficult to end this matter if it is not done!

Fortunately, things went well.

This is like two marriages. It is impossible to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage at the beginning. Basically, the two families have already inquired about each other in private, have a certain understanding of each other, and have even contacted and discussed each other. A certain intention is reached, and finally a matchmaker is sent to the door.

This naturally hit it off, and it was accurate as soon as it was said.

Zhao Liya and Hu Ling expressed that they wanted to buy land in Bajiaozhai to grow potatoes, but Zhengwai in Bajiaozhai was so happy that they could pick whatever they wanted.He also said that all the villagers in his village were hardworking and capable, and they were no worse than those in Zaihu Village. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see, which made Uncle Zhengli in Zaihu Village stare at him angrily and retort, and the two old men fought a few words Mouth damage each other.

This matter is settled, and it will be done within three days.

Zhao Liya and the others bought another [-] mu of land, expanded the sugarcane field by [-] mu, and bought [-] mu from Bajiaozhai.

There are tens of acres of land on the side of Bajiaozhai that have been reclaimed by three families. At the moment, corn, soybeans, beans, peppers and other crops are still planted in the land.

Zhao Liya discussed with them to buy it for three taels of silver per mu so that they could be connected together, and they sold it without hesitation.

This is well-cultivated land, and the price is reasonable.Zhao Liya was very satisfied that the other party did not sit down and raise the price.

This time, the price in the yamen is set on the ground, the lowest is 900 mu, one more money per mu, and the 200 silver in hand is instantly spent another [-] taels, leaving [-] taels, which is enough for various follow-up expenses .

Fortunately, the two Li are coming forward. If Hu leads it, I'm afraid he won't be able to buy it for two liang of silver and one mu.
