Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 77

As soon as Jiang Dafu finished speaking, there was an uproar in the underground.

Zhao Cheng was even more excited. He stood up from his chair and stared at Jiang Dafu with piercing eyes.

Jiang Dafu smiled and looked at the crowd, taking in all their expressions.

"Dafu, what you said is true!?" Zhao Cheng walked up to him with trembling legs, his dark and rough hands tightly grasping Jiang Dafu's arm.

Jiang Dafu patted Zhao Cheng's hands lightly, and comforted him:

"Uncle Zhao, it's true, don't get excited, wait for me to tell everyone in detail."

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Cheng let go of Jiang Dafu's hand and sat back.

The villagers below discussed for a while, then turned their eyes to Jiang Dafu, quietly waiting for him to speak.

Jiang Dafu calmed down, took out a potato from the basin, and put it in the palm of his hand.

"Folks, this is where our tax money will come from next year. It is called potatoes. They grow in the soil and can be sold for money. A catty of potatoes can be exchanged for several catties of pork."

"What? For pork, how many catties!?"

Tian Lin couldn't believe his ears, and asked repeatedly, the people below were all shocked in place, with their mouths wide open, and they didn't know how to say something in their hearts.

"Lin Zi, that's right, it's just a few catties of meat, haha."

Jiang Dafu laughed out loud. He was like them when he heard Liu Qingcao's words. Now seeing that everyone was just like him, his heart was calmed down and excited again.

"Where did these potatoes come from? Are there many?" Jiang Li hit the core of the problem with one blow.

Jiang Dafu glanced at him appreciatively, he is a smart man.

"This is from Qingcao. She sold some of them and said they were sold to Hui Bailou. The price is not cheap."

Jiang Dafu held it tightly in his hand like a baby, and looked at the position behind the mountain.

"For such a precious thing, the green grass has been taken out, alas."

Zhao Cheng sighed, not knowing what was going on in his heart. At the beginning, the two siblings were so hungry that they were all suffering from the wounds in their hearts, so they insisted on not helping them. I didn't expect that as a little girl, as soon as she had the ability, she would Think of them indifferent people.

"I'm ashamed!" Thinking of this, Zhao Cheng was so depressed that he couldn't get up or down, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Jiang Dafu looked at Zhao Cheng, feeling unhappy.

The people below didn't understand Zhao Chenghe's sudden bitterness at first, but they all understood after hearing him say "ashamed".

Almost instantly, the sound of sighs below remembered.

"Let's not mention the past, let's remember it in the future." Jiang Dafu saw that everyone was depressed, and tried to persuade them.

Li Shumei looked at the crowd with satisfaction, and lightly opened her lips:
"Everyone keeps it in mind. Qingcao said that we have to work hard together. She has shown her sincerity. Next, it depends on whether everyone is willing to do it."

"Do it, I, Jiang Li, will report first!"

"Count me, Xiong Wu!"

"I, Tian Lin, also count!"

"I!"

"us……"

……

"it is good!"

Jiang Dafu looked at the crowd with a smile on his face, and made a final decision.

"Then I'll tell everyone what Qingcao and I think.

These potatoes are not cheap, so we definitely can’t afford them, but if we let people give away the grass for free, or sell them cheap, that’s not going to work, so we came up with a compromise, which is to collect rent. "

Jiang Dafu glanced at the crowd, seeing that they had no objection, he continued:

"How can this rent be appropriate? Just take [-]% of our harvest and pay it to Qingcao. If you can accept it, come to me to register."

After Jiang Dafu finished speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to answer, he turned around and picked up the paper, pen and red clay, sat on the stool, and waited for people to come forward.

This is a costless business, if anyone still gets in the way, he deserves to be poor.

When everyone saw the new village head, they stopped talking, and they all looked at me and I looked at you, thinking about it.

But they are not calculating gains and losses, but judging how many potato seeds they can get.

"I'll come first." Zhao Cheng got up from the stool and walked in front of Jiang Dafu.

Jiang Dafu smiled and asked:

"Uncle Zhao, how many acres of land does your family have?"

"My family has three acres of land." Zhao Cheng blurted out without thinking.

"That's all right, the deed is finished, Uncle Zhao, you can press your fingerprint here and it will be done."

Following the direction of Jiang Dafu's finger, Zhao Cheng pressed his handprint on the contract.

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, you sit on the stool for a while, I have something to say later."

Zhao Cheng nodded, walked aside and sat down, smiling and looking at the fields in the distance, tears seemed to be falling from the corners of his eyes, hidden in his folds.

……

"Jiang Li, how many acres of land does your family have?"

"Six acres."

"Plant them all, and open the land in a month, can it be done!?" Jiang Dafu asked worriedly, thinking that there were two old people in his family who didn't have much labor.

"No problem, there are two children at home, my parents can't do heavy work, so they can do other things." Jiang Li nodded and replied.

"Okay, then you should also press your fingerprints."

Jiang Li gave up his seat without hesitation after pressing his handprint on the contract.

"Next time, hurry up, the contract is done, I still have something to say."

Jiang Dafu saw people dawdling, and began to urge him. This urging was still useful. After a while, the villagers moved forward one by one, and the speed picked up immediately.

"Brother Dafu, I want to plant too!"

The voice is very immature, but it is firm.

"Maomao? Do you want to plant it too? Where are you planting it?" Jiang Dafu looked at the child in front of him in puzzlement, and there were eight or nine children, big and small, behind him.

"We open up wasteland by ourselves, but we don't know how much land there will be yet, can we wait for us to open up and then press our fingerprints?" Maomao looked at the person in front of him, and asked with some confusion.

Jiang Dafu was a little astonished. These children were only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest were only seven or eight years old. They didn't have any tools at hand, so how could they open up wasteland?
"Brother Dafu, can you do it?" Mao Mao plucked up the courage to speak again. They all heard that this potato can buy several catties of meat for a catty. If they plant it too, they can buy a lot of food when they harvest it , can eat for a long time.

Therefore, they must fight for it.

"Yeah, okay, then you have to pay attention to safety, let me know in advance when it comes out, I'll come and have a look."

Jiang Dafu looked at them, and patted Maomao's shoulder with his big hand.

After receiving the answer, Maomao happily stood aside, waiting for Jiang Dafu to speak.

Jiang Dafu took a stack of thick paper and waved it in the air.

"Everyone has already registered, so let's talk about this kind of potato and what to do."

"Our potatoes can't be grown like normal vegetables. Just dig a hole and throw them in. The potatoes are expensive, and we have to ensure that they don't freeze to death in winter, so this work is much more delicate.

First, let’s plow the ground first, then set it on fire, and then retting it with manure for about ten days. Remember to keep those grains and grasses at home, but don’t burn them for convenience. These grains and grasses are used to cover the land. With them, potatoes will not be frozen. "

"The rest are gone for the time being. When the land is finished, come to me again, and I'll talk to you!"

"Brother Dafu, do we have to use grain and grass?" Mao Mao looked at Jiang Dafu with twinkling eyes.

Jiang Dafu shook his head, and replied: "Withered grass is fine too, by the way, everyone should be careful when setting fire to the ground, don't burn it to the mountains, you little children, come to me when the ground is burning, I will show you on."

"Understood, Big Rich Brother."

A group of children answered in childish voices, Jiang Dafu saw him, his heart softened, and he waved them back.

"Everyone should leave too. It's time to get busy. There is only one month before and after. Hurry up, everyone."

"Okay, let's all go back to dig the ground, get it out earlier, and have a better understanding."

"Don't delay, let's all get busy."

"Haha, let's go, it's rare to be busy at this time."
