Chapter 179 Why I Became a Village Chief and Give Gifts to Others (Part [-])
"I still have some things I want to discuss with you, and I want to hear your opinions." Jiang Zhi spoke again after everyone discussed the construction of the wall and the water storage ditch.

I know that Jiang Zhi is going to talk about the key points of the discussion between our husband and wife last night. The main purpose of inviting everyone here is to hear your opinions and opinions on this matter.

Everyone looked at the Jiang family, waiting for him to continue.

"Everyone knows that Chen Cuihua's mother and son came to our house two days ago." Jiang Zhi introduced the topic from the gossip that everyone knew.

"I know, I heard that they came to give you a gift, did you take it?" Chen Hao pretended to be curious and asked, in fact, everyone knew from the rumors that Chen Cuihua, mother and son, came to give us a gift, and they took low-end gifts. Given the living conditions of our family, it is so likely that we would like liquor, but Chen Cuihua went around saying that we despise etiquette.Chen Hao's question now is just to tease Jiang Zhi.

"I'm the head of Tashan Village, and I'm an official after all. How could I accept bribes from the common people?" Jiang Zhi replied solemnly, making everyone present laugh.

"Come on, Chen Cuihua told me that you thought her gift was too light, so you threw them out, including people and things." Liu Yujun said with a smile.

"Uncle, big brothers, I really don't have the heart to do anything with the two green bottles she's carrying." Jiang Zhi said with a miserable face.

"Hahaha..." Jiang Zhi's performance made the older Zhangtou and the others laugh, and the younger ones were even more laughing.

Uncle Zhang asked with a smile: "Are they here for the 17 acres of paddy fields in the old Lujia Province?"

"Yes, that's why I came here." Jiang Zhi regained his seriousness.

"Then what do you say?"

"What's the matter with this piece of land, it's not her turn to ask for it, so I didn't agree. But I thought about it later, this piece of land is just there, it's impossible not to plant rice, it's too wasteful, But I couldn’t find a suitable candidate. No matter who I gave the land to, some people would not like it, and they would think in their hearts, why give it to him or not to me. So I thought, no one will give these paddy fields to anyone. How about the common property in the village?" Jiang Zhi said what we had discussed.

"It's from the village, so who will grow it?" The little uncle was a little puzzled by what Jiang Zhi said.

"We can hire people from the village to plant in the spring of next year, find a few old-fashioned methods, and we can finish planting in a few days. We can pay wages on a daily basis, just like our personal hired workers. We will give 30 catties of rice a day. It's the same, we can take care of those with less land, and then our village will provide food." Jiang Zhi said.

"If these lands are well-served, they may produce several thousand catties of grain. According to your calculation, one thousand catties is enough for flowers when planting, and the rest..." The old man asked.After he finished asking, he might also feel that he didn't believe Jiang Zhi and worried that he was corrupt, so he explained: "Everyone is like this. If this place is freed from people, everyone may not have any ideas." At most, it feels like a waste, but if food is produced here and piled there to make them greedy, then someone has to have an idea."

"Haha, Uncle Zhang, I've thought of all this. I definitely can't let the food just sit there. When I saw Sun Jun's family slaughtering pigs a few days ago, the children in our village were so happy that they could catch up with the New Year. Over the past year, Most people in our village have never seen oily food in their homes. This kind of diet is not conducive to the growth of children and the health of the elderly, so I think next year we will open a piece of land in the village and open a pig farm. Raise some pigs, count them in the village, and when it snows in winter, kill all the pigs, then the pork can be saved, and the family in the village will share some, and everyone will have a good year.”

"This idea is very good. Our child is really greedy for meat. I still remember my child's meat-eating Hushijin. It is really sad to see it. It would be great if the pig farm can really be run." Liu Yujun remembered that he had bought some meat and brought home that day, and the children ate that meal happily. It would be great if they could eat meat in the future.

"It's not that easy. What about the feed for the pigs? You don't want to feed the pigs with the leftover grain, do you?" Uncle Qin asked Jiang Zhi with his eyes wide open.

"How can it be, the Huohuo people are not so rambunctious. I just want to use food to exchange grass and chaff with everyone. We can discuss how to exchange it slowly, but these two things are useless to everyone. If we I think they will be very happy to exchange food," Jiang Zhi said.

I interjected next to me and said, "In summer, there is a lot of grass in the fields. Even the elderly and children can pull out a few catties at will, and they can exchange grain when they come to the village. I think they will be very active. And our village basically They all grow sweet potatoes, but in the end, the sweet potato stalks are useless, can they be used to feed pigs? No one eats the bran left over from rice pounding at home, so throwing it away is useless, and it can also be exchanged for food on the pig farm. How good is that? ah."

After I finished speaking, I looked at Jiang Zhi. Everyone was silent, thinking about the feasibility of what I said.

"Actually, what we are talking about are all assumptions. No one knows whether it can be completed according to the plan in reality, so I plan to start a year of trial next spring. Many ideas have to be continuously improved in practice. If possible, then Let's set up this pig farm, and our village will have meat to eat in the future. If it doesn't work, then we won't lose anything, just some bran and grass. The villagers earn the food, so it's not a waste, yes No?" Jiang Zhi said.

"Okay, I support you. Let's try it next year. It's better if it works. If it doesn't work, we're looking for experience from failure." Lao Zhangtou spoke first to express his support.

After that, everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their support.

The rest is to discuss where to build the pig farm, how big it will be, who will be hired to feed the pigs every day, clean the pigsty, and how many catties of grass and bran can be exchanged for a catty of rice.

During their discussion, they finished eating the sweet potatoes I baked on the stove, and they were still chattering after 12 o'clock at noon.

When I saw the situation, it was necessary to provide meals, so I went in and greeted my mother-in-law and mother to go to the kitchen to prepare meals for guests. It was not because I wanted to trouble the elderly, but because my cooking skills were really not on the table. Jiang Zhi The chef is still talking to them in the living room, so I can only use the mothers.

The mothers' hands and feet were quick, and they cooked a table of dishes in less than an hour, and then they, the gentlemen, shifted the discussion to the dinner table.

When I asked them to come to the table for dinner, Chen Hao said politely: "Oh, look, we've been here for so long, it's embarrassing enough for you to be tea and fruit, why not?" It’s such a delicious meal, this~this~how embarrassing.”

I rolled my eyes very unladyishly in the dark, thinking how could Jiang Zhi think this Chen Hao is very capable. From these few words, I can tell that he and his younger brother Chen Ming are the same kind, delicious Not enough, as expected of a brother.

During the dinner, they drank wine and ate side dishes, discussing extra vigor.

The old Zhangtou was even humorous, and said: "Jiang Zhi, no wonder you don't like the gift from Chen Cuihua. The wine in your house is not bad." After he finished speaking, Zi Liu drank a small glass, and he too An old wine bag.

"Haha, to tell you the truth, I really don't like this ordinary wine. This is brewed by my daughter-in-law with her own grain. The taste... oh, I can't tell, it's all in the wine, come on, what It's done." Jiang Zhi drank the wine in the glass after he finished speaking, and everyone on the table drank it too, then sipped it, sipped it carefully, and then all praised that it was really good.

Of course, the rice I use for brewing is the rice produced in the space, and the water I use for brewing is the stream water in the space. Then I put the wine vats in the space to ferment, so the ingredients are all top quality, and the brewed taste Can it be bad?

I also brewed a lot of wine and fruit wine in the space, all of which are sweet and sour. Jiang Zhi boasted so much. When they left, I filled a bottle of fruit wine for each of them in a wine bottle, saying yes Let the aunt at home try it too.

The meal didn't finish until dark, and they all drank too much, and they were drunk, and it was Li Cheng and Li Shanqing who sent them back one by one.Of course, what I promised to give did not fall behind either.

Seeing the mess in the restaurant, I began to complain to Jiang Zhi, "Look, look, they told you not to be the village head, it's up to the village to find a way to solve the problem, and we have to feed and drink at our own house, It’s a shame that we gave away those old things before we confiscated the gifts.” I felt a little unjust, when we were not village chiefs, we gave gifts to the village chief for business, why now we are village chiefs, we still Give gifts to others.

Jiang Zhi also drank a little too much. Hearing my complaint, he laughed and said, "Then Chen Jipin came to give you a gift, you didn't want it."

I got angry when I heard that, and with a bang, I dropped the bowls and chopsticks I just picked up on the dining table again, and shouted: "You said that she is top-quality, and the things she gave are even more top-quality, can I have it?"

Mother Qu in the kitchen heard the sound of me throwing bowls and yelling, and shouted at Jiang Zhi in the kitchen: "What's the matter, this is, after a while, I want to be a demon again, don't you, Jiang Zhi?" Get used to her, give her a good meal, and she will stop."

This~ Is this still my mother?I feel so aggrieved.

Jiang Zhi didn't care about that, when he heard his mother-in-law had spoken, he stood up and picked me up by the waist, striding towards our room, and said as he walked: "Mother-in-law is right, this daughter-in-law just needs to be cleaned up. It's dishonest."

That night, in the space, Jiang Zhi used the strength of alcohol to clean me up. I screamed again and again. Han Han had already slipped into his tree house by himself when we first entered the space. (In order to make up for the child’s inability to sleep in the wooden house, Jiang Zhi built a wooden house for the child on a century-old tree at the far edge of the space. From then on, it will be Hanhan’s exclusive room.), ignore our pair Parents who have nothing to do.
