Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 75
The election of the new village head has come to an end. Today, everyone in Shihe Village is full of energy and energy, and the laughter is even worse than in the past.

Liu Qingcao woke up with the heat, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and muttered softly.

"I took a nap, and my energy is much better. It's time to get down to business."

Liu Qingcao put on her clothes and shoes, quickly got up from the bed, ran to the corner of the courtyard and washed her face with cold water to make herself more awake.

"Sister Chen, I'm going out for a while. Jiangbei wakes up and looks for me later. You just say I'm out and tell him to read carefully and come back later."

"Understood, girl, you can go." Chen Cuizhi nodded, looking in the direction of Old Man Niu's room.

Liu Jiangbei slept on the small bed in Old Man Niu's room, because the two old men occupied the house, and Liu Jiangbei had no place to live when he came back, so Liu Qingcao was arranged to sleep on the small bed in Old Man Niu's room. Liu Jiangbei is sensible, and Liu Qingcao He will do whatever he arranges, and he doesn't care about these.

After leaving the yard, Liu Qingcao went straight to Jiang Dafu's house at the head of the village.

At this moment, Jiang Dafu was sitting in the main room with a lot of trouble, thinking about what to do with the vacant land after the busy farming season. In previous years, after harvesting the rice, those lands were left vacant there, and a small number of people would grow some vegetables to eat. The unfinished ones are used to feed chickens and ducks.

This year is different. After paying the full tax this year, the life of the villagers is not so sad, but where the tax money will come from next year has become a problem.

He wanted to organize the young and vigorous men in the village to go to work in the town, but after running around the town, he found that the people who needed to work in the town were either skilled, or they used people with relatives and relatives. The place to work is to be a coolie. At this time, no one is needed, and the coolie can't earn a few copper coins in a day...

Li Shumei watched anxiously from the sidelines.

"Dafu, it seems that he took his mother for granted."

"Mom, we still have a long time, let's see if we can, let's plant vegetable seedlings in the empty fields, and feed the chickens if we can't finish eating. Let's sell the eggs, and every cent is worth every penny."

"No, the vegetable seedlings won't survive this winter, and there will be no vegetable seeds next year." Li Shumei shook her head, denying Jiang Dafu's idea.

It's a pity that those open spaces are left unused, but they can't think of any other way.

Just when the two were dejected and thinking hard, Liu Qingcao knocked on the gate of the yard.

"Green grass? Come in quickly." Li Shumei opened the courtyard door, and when she saw someone coming, she happily invited her in.

"Aunt Li, what's the matter, why are you so anxious?"

Liu Qingcao asked puzzledly when she saw the worry between the eyebrows of the two.

"Qingcao, it's not that Dafu has become a new village. He wants the villagers to find a way so that they don't have to worry about next year's tax money. It's just that this way is so easy to come up with. Sigh..." Li Shumei brought Liu Qingcao to the lobby , sat on a chair, and told the story.

She knew that Liu Qingcao was a caring person, and one more person would give him an extra brain to think of a way, maybe she really has a way.

"This matter, Aunt Li, that's why I came here." Liu Qingcao smiled slightly, looked at the two sad faces, and spoke slowly.

Li Shumei and Jiang Dafu's eyes lit up when they heard what she said, and they surrounded her excitedly.

"Qingcao, tell me quickly."

"Yes, let's hear it."

"Aunt Li, Brother Jiang, it's like this. I think in our village, after harvesting rice every year, those fields are empty. My idea is to use these fields and plant something." Liu Qingcao said I plan to speak out.

Jiang Dafu was overjoyed at first, but after hearing Liu Qingcao's words, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He thought the same way, but it didn't work!

Liu Qingcao saw that they looked disappointed, so she knew that they had also thought about using the vacant land, but they were just stuck on the issue of what to plant.

"Aunt Li, Brother Jiang, I know what you are thinking, don't worry, I have a way to solve this matter."

"real!?"

"Green grass, it won't work if you grow side dishes", Dafu had already thought about it. "

Li Shumei hesitated for a moment, and finally reminded her.

Seeing this, Liu Qingcao shook her head, and then took out the potatoes from her pocket.

"Aunt Li, let's plant this, and when we don't eat it, let's fill our stomachs with it!"

"Huh? What is this, I don't think I've seen it before..." Li Shumei took the oval thing in her hand, looked at it, and finally squeezed it hard.

"Good. Hard, like a rock. Can this be eaten?" Li Shumei asked curiously.

Jiang Dafu looked at the potato in his mother's hand, and curiously moved it up. He had never seen this thing before, and he didn't see it for sale in the town.

"Qingcao, where did this thing come from? We've never seen it before."

"This is a potato. I found it on the mountain. It grows in the soil. If you don't dig the soil, you can't see it."

"Oh, it's grown in the soil, no wonder we haven't seen it before." Jiang Dafu suddenly realized that this grows in the soil and is still on the mountain. If it wasn't for a coincidence, he wouldn't have found it.

"Green grass, then let's plant it, can it work!?" Li Shumei raised the question in her heart. This potato is so big, it has grown up for a long time, and in winter, will it be like the vegetables in the vegetable field? It was freezing cold.

"It's okay. The potatoes grow in the soil. Let's spread a layer of straw on them in winter so that they won't freeze. When the potatoes are harvested in the spring, let's plant rice immediately."

Liu Qingcao made a long story short, omitting many details during the period.

"That's no delay." Li Shumei nodded, thinking that this kind of potato method would work.

"Qingcao, how many potatoes do you have? If there are too few, it won't work." Jiang Dafu looked at Liu Qingcao with anticipation in his eyes.

"Brother Jiang, I bought some of these potatoes for Hui Bailou a few months ago, and there are quite a few left."

"Sell?"

"Qingcao, do you think this thing can be sold?"

Both of them grasped the important information in Liu Qingcao's words.

Liu Qingcao nodded, picked up the potatoes, touched them, and continued:
"Yeah, this one costs a few tens of Wen, and Uncle Gerrard gave me two hundred Wen per catty."

"what!"

"This……"

The eyes of the two of them widened in surprise, and they couldn't believe that such a hard lump was actually several tenths more expensive than pork.

Liu Qingcao didn't speak, and waited quietly for the two of them.

If it wasn't that this thing was too rare here, and I seized the opportunity to sell it, otherwise, she wouldn't believe it even if someone told her about it.

The two of them looked at Liu Qingcao quietly for a while, and they didn't see a trace of panic in her, so they knew that this matter was probably true.

However, this thing is two hundred yuan a catty, if the villagers buy it and grow it, they may not be able to pay taxes.

"Green grass, these potatoes are two hundred yuan a catty, and people in our village can't afford to grow them. If you buy potatoes, then the tax money you have to pay in the future may not be available."

Li Shumei shook her head, and said with a little discouragement, Liu Qingcao found these potatoes, she couldn't let the villagers get them for nothing, buy them with money, but they couldn't afford them, and if Liu Qingcao got less money, they would also lose money, this is an impossible A good deal.

"Aunt Li, you don't have to spend money to buy it, I will collect rent!"

Liu Qingcao originally planned to give everyone a cheaper price, but she thought of this method after considering that the villagers did not have much money available.
