Chapter 130 Will Be Targeted

Chen Zhongzhu said: "How can the nobles in the city come to dig sweet potatoes? Those who farm and work are all inferior."

Chen Xiu blushed and didn't speak.Liu Dingkang and Liu Chenfeng glanced at each other.

Chen Ya's voice sounded: "Then sell it more expensive to people in the county, and more expensive in the state city."

Everyone laughed.

"Have the villagers in these four villages ever sold sweet potatoes?" Chen Fan asked Xiangjian.

Xiang Jian shook her head: "Not yet, they only have a few hundred catties of sweet potatoes in total, and they will be eaten by the whole family for a few months, and those who are related to relatives will be given a share, so I dare not sell them casually. Another point is that It’s not easy to ask for a price, since it’s all from the villagers, I’m afraid there will be expensive and cheap people’s tongues.”

"When this batch of rice is harvested, the life of the villagers should be better, right?" Chen Ying said.

Chen Zhongmei disagreed: "This batch of rice is obviously superior to rice from other places, and will be targeted by various forces."

"Buy and sell by force? Or extortionate?" Chen Fan looked at Chen Zhongmei.

"It's all possible." Chen Zhongmei looked serious.

This kid still has a good understanding of people's livelihood and people's conditions.Chen Fan glanced at him again.

Xiang Jian nodded: "It's very possible. Most of the people in Shengping County got some relief food and went back to the village to replant it. In many places, the food did not grow well. The rice replanted here is far less than that on the terraced fields. The rice is growing well. The county government and the gentry will notice and want more high-yielding rice seeds.”

Chen Fan sighed.Even if she grows a high-yield grain, it will be difficult to spread the rice seed in a benign way, and the lives of the people will still be difficult.As for growing high-yield rice and being rewarded?Don't even think about it.There are many risks to face.

Zhang Ci patted her hand: "Don't worry."

Chen Zhongyan followed: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover."

"Let's go to Qijiadu tomorrow, and the sweet potatoes over there will also be harvested." Chen Fan made arrangements, and went to teach Xiangjian and the others how to bake sweet potatoes.

"I still want to learn how to build a stove." Xiang Jian said.

"No problem, I will teach you how to build a stove when we arrive at Qijiadu." Chen Fan agreed, "Then you go to Zhoucheng to sell sweet potatoes?"

Xiang Jian looked at Zhang Ci, Zhang Ci smiled: "It's not impossible."

Chen Fan shook his head: "Overkill."

Zhang Ci followed suit and shook his head: "I think I can make the best use of my talents. Ordinary people may not be able to go smoothly to Zhoucheng."

makes sense.Chen Fan nodded in agreement.

The county government hadn't sent anyone to dig sweet potatoes yet, so Chen Fan didn't care about them, he packed up and went to Qijiadu.

Qi Lizheng received them warmly and asked his son to inform everyone to gather.

The people from the village quickly came over, and helped the cattle raisers to drive the cattle over.More than a dozen cows are really spectacular.

The cattle are well-raised, shiny and oily.

Qi Lizheng said with a smile: "The pasture you planted is really good. Cattle and sheep like to eat it, chickens and ducks also like to run there, and the eggs they lay are bigger than usual."

"How obedient is the chicken?" Chen Fan was very surprised.

"We put the chickens in cages and brought them over, and surrounded a field with a fence, where the chickens can move around." A quick-talking villager rushed to answer.

Chen Fan asked her how many chickens she had. He was a little embarrassed: "My family only has three chickens. Others have five or six chickens."

Being able to raise a few chickens is considered a good condition.

"We came from Yema Mountain, and the sweet potatoes in several villages there have been taken home. You cut the sweet potato vines first today, let the water disperse, and you can dig today or tomorrow. Do not stay in the field overnight."

We went to a sweet potato field together and watched a few children demonstrate how to dig sweet potatoes.The villagers had noticed them just now, and seeing their skilled movements now, they were even more surprised.

"There are so many children in your family?" Someone shouted loudly.Qi Li was embarrassed.

Chen Yue said, "We were all adopted by the eldest sister."

A group of people opened their mouths wide: "Adopt so many?"

"They are all good-looking." Someone commented, and the villagers echoed them repeatedly.

Everyone didn't say anything more, and closed the topic.

People here are still in awe of Zhang Ci, and they are more polite to Chen Fan and her younger brothers and sisters.The Mustang Mountain side is like a frying pan, staring at the children and talking about it.What's more, a family pushed a little girl from her natal family to Chen Fan and asked her to adopt it.Chen Fan's face darkened on the spot, and Du Li was so flustered that he hurriedly called some women and dragged the family back.

The children toured around the 1000 mu of land, then returned to the built yard here, and continued to read and write.

The yellow mud bricks and tools were brought in. Chen Fan taught Xiangjian how to make a stove, and the children also said they wanted to learn how to make one.So, Chen Fan took a step, Xiang Jian and the children followed suit.

After more than two months of training, the children have gained a lot of strength, and they are calm and neat when sifting the soil, and they also lay bricks with style.

They made three ovens in total.There was still some yellow clay left, so the children tried to make several small stoves in various shapes.

In the evening, sweet potatoes were roasted on the three stoves.Xiang Jian has already learned it, Chen Fan taught the nursing home here, and the children also learned how to bake.The nurses were very happy eating roasted sweet potatoes.

The next day, the villagers all went to the ground to dig sweet potatoes, and Xiang Jian led a few people there to give pointers.Chen Fan and the others were relatively free, studying and studying in the yard.

Before noon, someone hurried into the courtyard and said to Zhang Ci: "My lord, something happened to Yema Mountain!"
