Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 349
While the two sisters were talking, Grandpa Liu had already brought people into the yard.

The two hurried forward to greet them.

Grandpa Liu looked Li Mingyue from top to bottom, and saw that she was fine, so he smiled and nodded, "Well, it's good to be back."

On the contrary, it was Wang Shi and Zhu Shi who were so happy.

"Oh, my little aunt is finally back. My aunt is worried to death. I didn't suffer much outside. I lost weight. I will ask your mother to make more delicious food for you later."

"This little face is not as juicy as it used to be. It's too hot outside. Hurry up and go back to the house to rest. We'll do all the work."

The two sisters-in-law held Li Mingyue's arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and warmly greeted her.

Li Minglan covered her mouth and laughed while watching, Li Mingyue smiled wryly.

……

After lunch, Li Mingyue began to prepare for the signing in the afternoon.

The desk was moved to the middle of the yard, and the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, abacus and other things should be laid out.

Five or six of the dozens of benches borrowed from the clan were lined up.

Looking at it this way, it looks like the scene of a modern conference.

Just after noon, villagers came to the door one after another, and all the people who came were men who were in charge of the house. It was stated in advance that only one person in the family would be fine, and if there were too many, the small courtyard would not be able to accommodate them.

Mrs. Liu came out with melon seeds and snacks, and the villagers gathered in twos and threes to chat, and the yard was buzzing, very lively.

There were too many people in the family, and she was afraid of collisions, so Madam Zhuang brought the four little babies back to the east chamber and coaxed them to take a nap.

People at this time have a more sense of time, around the first quarter of noon, almost all the people come.

The villagers were arranged to sit on the benches, and the crowd, which was still chaotic just now, suddenly became much more orderly.

The patriarch and Lizheng sat on one side, with a long table and pens, ink, paper and inkstones in front of them.

Li Mingyue coughed lightly, and then said: "Hello, uncles, I'm inviting you here today for the purpose of Fu Sheng Ji workshop harvesting sweet potatoes this year. This year, our workshop will harvest 500 million catties of sweet potatoes."

"..."

What is the concept of 500 million catties of sweet potatoes? The villagers were shocked.

Li Shou was also shocked, 500 million catties of sweet potatoes can make almost 100 million catties of vermicelli...

"It's all from the folks in the village. We don't lower the price. We still pay according to the market price, one penny and three catties. But let's talk about the ugly words first. Today we signed this contract. The sweet potatoes grown in your fields are all Fusheng Ji. You can't sell it to others, you can't pass it off as a good one, and you can't go back on your word.

When it comes to the autumn harvest, if the price of sweet potatoes drops, we will also collect them for one penny and three catties.But if the price of sweet potatoes rises, everyone can't sit still and raise the price. We still charge one penny and three catties.

The contract has been drawn up. If you think there is no problem, please go to Uncle Li Zheng to sign and press your fingerprints. Uncle Li Zheng and the patriarch are both witnesses. The two of them have read the contract and it is all right, so everyone can rest assured. . "

For convenience, Li Mingyue only prepared a contract, the terms of which were clearly listed on the paper, with a large blank area below, and the villagers signed and pressed their fingerprints one by one.The contract was made in triplicate, one for Mingyue, one for Li Shouyi, and one for the old patriarch.

In this day and age, the patriarch and Li Zheng are the real power figures in the village. They have the right to deal with villagers and clansmen who make mistakes. They have certain constraints on the villagers, so there is no need to go to the government to back up.
