The peasant lady of the pastoral space

Chapter 37

The more I think about it, the more I think it's a good idea.

Therefore, Li Xiang'e immediately discussed with Li's father and mother.

Li's father and Li's mother also felt that the ten acres of land on their farm was enough for their own farming, and they also agreed with Li Xiang'e's suggestion.

Besides, renting the land outside Zhuangzi to people in a village can collect rent without spending too much effort, and you can also get favors, isn't it great!

Especially Father Li——

He thought of the sweet potato mother that his daughter planted.

Hearing that the yield of that thing was amazing, he didn't doubt the possibility in his daughter's words at all, and waited for the sweet potato vines to grow up, and planted them in the 5 or 6 acres of land reserved in advance.

Just 5 or 6 acres of land is enough for him to work on, and the rest should be done as his daughter said.

Father Li thought proudly.

So, just do it.

Early the next morning, Li Xiang'e packed some food and meat, took these prepared things, and followed Li's father to visit the village chief's house.

Coincidentally, the village head and his wife were still at home.

Seeing Father Li and Li Xiang'e coming to the door in person, the village head and his wife were very surprised.

"Why are you here, please come in, please come in!"

After everyone was seated, the village chief tapped the cigarette rod in his hand, and then slowly asked Father Li about their father and daughter's visit.

"Dongzi, what's the matter with you coming here today?"

Father Li smiled embarrassedly, first handed the gift brought over to the wife of the village head, and then explained with a smile.

"Uncle, it's like this, our family has something to ask for your help..."

The village chief is very satisfied with what Father Li brought.

I thought to myself, this Dongzi is getting better at being a man now.

"What's the matter, tell me and listen. Uncle has a look at the situation. If Uncle is able to help, then let's talk!"

As expected of a village head who has been in the village for more than [-] years, he is old and cunning.

Don't talk too much, stay ahead of everything.

Father Li looked at his daughter Xiang'e before continuing.

"It's like this, Uncle, now the land near the Zhuangzi at the foot of the Lijia Village belongs to our family. Our family has thought it over and over again. We think that we are all from the same village. Anyway, we all have to go to other places. Local governments rent land to grow food, and the rent is high.

So, I thought it would be better to let the people in our village grow our family’s property. People in our own village will be more at ease when our family rents it out. Do you think it’s okay? "

The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard that Li's father's family had hundreds of acres of land.

Later, when I heard Father Li said that he was willing to rent out the fertile land and let the people in Lijia Village grow it, he couldn't help applauding.

"Zhong, Zhong, Dongzi, it's absolutely fine!"

Immediately, the village chief asked.

"Then, Dongzi, do you want to come to see Uncle?"

Hearing this, Li Xiang'e directly answered Huatou and explained in detail.

"Grandpa, the village chief, it's like this. You are the most influential person in our village, so we would like to ask you to help us to inform the villagers who want to rent land. If they want to, they can come to you first. After finishing the leasing procedures and stamping my fingerprints, all the procedures are complete, and I can rent the fertile land near Zhuangzi to them at any time."

After a pause, Li Xiang'e smiled and continued.

"Of course, everyone is from the same village. I don't charge [-]% to [-]% of the rent like other people. Our Li family only collects [-]% of the rent. I won't say much about the rest. , and please help to convey that all the folks who are sincerely willing to rent can come to you to register, complete the formalities, and write clearly in black and white, until the rent is exhausted!"

After finishing speaking, Li Xiang'e took out an ingot of white silver from her bosom, which was worth 30 taels.

Then, pass it to the village chief.

When the village chief saw him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, feeling very happy in his heart.

After winking at the village head's wife, the village head's wife immediately took a step forward and collected the money.

Like the village head, his eyes were also shining with joy.

"Okay, this matter is covered by me, and it will be done for you. [-]% of the rent, how can there be such a good thing in other places, the folks have their own steelyards in their hearts, and they will definitely not give up such a good one. Opportunity. Don't worry, just go back and wait for the news, I will let my son notify you when the matter is settled!"

Li Xiang'e laughed.

"Okay, then thank you. Then we will take our leave first, and you continue to be busy!"

After finishing speaking, Li Xiang'e and Father Li were about to say goodbye and leave.

The village head asked the village head's wife to send Li Xiang'e and his daughter to the gate of the yard before returning.

The village chief looked at the 30 taels of silver that the village chief's wife took out after returning to the house, and his eyes flashed.

Afterwards, the village head took a puff of cigarette, looked at his old wife, and reminded.

"The Dongzi family seems to be up! In the future, we will keep in touch with the Li family, exchange feelings, see if they need help, be active, and we will benefit from it!"

After finishing speaking, the village head looked up and looked outside the house, and stopped talking.

It seems that the charm of the 30 taels of silver is really great!
Two days later, the son of the village chief came to the door.

By the way, I also brought the lease contract signed by the villagers, which was neatly placed in the box.

Li Xiang'e checked it, and found that the clauses were clear and clearly written, she was pleasantly surprised.

"Thank you, Uncle! I have prepared some things for you here, remember to take them with you when you go back!"

After speaking, Li Xiang'e asked Xiao Bo to take out the things prepared in advance, including grain, rice oil and another 20 taels of silver, and hand them to the village chief's son.

The village chief's son was flattered.

Unexpectedly, there are other benefits after finishing the work.

In addition to the previous ones, it is enough to build a new house, plus marry his youngest son a virtuous wife? !
After renting out the fields, Li Xiang'e also revealed a little about the sweet potato vines.

Thinking about it, anyway, she had planted half an acre of sweet potato mothers before, except for the five or six acres of her own land, which only needed [-] to [-] square meters of sweet potato mothers, and the rest of the sweet potato mothers were placed there. It is regarded as a vegetable, and the tender tips are fried to eat, and the vines are cut to feed the pigs~
Other than that, it's useless.

However, for those farmers who want to grow high-yield grain, that will be of great help!
They went to other places in the Yong Dynasty, but they might not be able to find these sweet potatoes.

Even if you find it, you probably don't know it.

Not to mention that this sweet potato is not only very filling, but also easy to grow.

What's more, the output is still high?

Therefore, if there are tenant farmers who are willing to grow sweet potatoes, Li Xiang'e is willing to share the sweet potato vines and tell them how to plant them, except for some that they want to use at home.

After all, apart from the reason for those tenant farmers, the most important reason is that the higher the grain output those tenant farmers grow, the more rent they can collect!
Li Xiang'e's calculations in her heart are still very sophisticated.

In fact, after another 20 days, after the sweet potato mothers were quietly watered by Li Xiang'e every day to give birth, most of them have grown one-meter-long sweet potato vines.

In other words, it can be cut!
For the next two days, the Li family was busy with this matter.

Cut the vines, cut the joints with buds into sections, and then plant them in the soil at a distance, cover the side facing the soil with soil, water, fertilize, and repeat...

The whole family mobilized and it took two full days to plant all the sweet potato vines.

Father Li stood by the ground, looking at the lush greenery, full of pride and satisfaction.

After these grow, they are all food!

To Li Xiang'e's surprise, most of the villagers were unwilling to take the risk of planting the sweet potato that Li Xiang'e mentioned.

They were all whispering in their hearts.

Only 8 or 9 households are willing to allocate some fields to grow this sweet potato, so let's try it.

Let's see if it is really as good as Li Xiang'e said!

If the sweet potatoes don't crop up, at least they've planted something else and it should be fine to eat.

So I thought about giving it a try.

In fact, they have no idea.

It's just that Li Xiang'e not only rented fertile land to grow food for them, but also kindly reminded them that they could grow sweet potatoes. Even if the result was not good, it was the kindness of the owner, so they should give it a try!

If Li Xiang'e knew what they were thinking, she would definitely be dumbfounded.

For this result, Li Xiang'e has no other thoughts, it's time to remind, she has a clear conscience.

It's just that when they harvest in the future, they don't regret it, just don't be jealous!

More than ten days later, the villagers in Lijia Village were almost done, and Li Xiang'e came up with the idea of ​​planting fruit trees on the mountain.

It's a pity that the half of the mountain can't be used well.

Furthermore, the fruit trees planted in Zhuangzi are all small-scale troubles. How can there be a whole mountain with fruit trees that are so spectacular and amazing? !

Just do it when you think of it——

Li Xiang'e asked Li's father to ask Wang's father and son to help him buy countless fruit tree seedlings.

Father Wang is also a good brother of Father Li.

They had a good friendship, apart from Zhang's father who had broken off the relationship, only Wang's father was a friend that Li's father recognized in his heart.

Therefore, Father Li immediately thought of Father Wang.

The Wang family lived a good life in Lijia Village and had a few acres of land, so they didn't rent Li Xiang'e's property.

However, they believed Li Xiang'e's words, and believed that the sweet potato production was very likely to be very high.

In addition, Wang's father also believed that Li's good brother would not deceive his own people, so he allocated more than 2 acres of his own field to grow sweet potatoes.

Of course, the sweet potato vines were provided by Li Xiang'e for free.

Apart from their family, the village head's family also planted an acre of sweet potatoes for the sake of getting closer to Li Xiang'e's family or something.

In fact, the final results came out, proving that their choices were not wrong!
At that time, they still vaguely regretted that they planted less.

The fruit trees have been bought and everything is ready.

Then Li Xiang'e began to ask people to help plant fruit trees.

Planting fruit trees for one day can get 50 Wen as wages, and the meal at noon is all you need!

As soon as the news came out, the villagers in Lijia Village and nearby Lijia Village rushed to hear the news.

It's a joke, 50 Wen per day, half a month is nearly 1 tael of silver, and if you don't care about your food, a fool will refuse!
How can there be such a good thing in other places?

As a result, the people who started the work quickly gathered together, and started planting fruit trees in a hurry.

Even the children of the villagers who did the work came to the mountainside, helping to bury the soil and water it from time to time.

Ling'er immediately became friends with those children, and they stopped pestering her from time to time.

Li Xiang'e said that she is a bit tasteful!

The father and son of the Wang family also came to help, while Aunt Wang went to Zhuangzi to help Mother Li and Aunt Xiao cook, and prepare lunch for the busy villagers.

At noon on the first day, the villagers who planted fruit trees came back from their work and saw several large wooden tables neatly placed with all kinds of food——

There are white rice, vegetables, and greasy pieces of meat that make people drool.

Immediately, the villagers felt that the exhaustion on their bodies had disappeared, and their eyes were all shining.

After having a full meal, the villagers here think that in the next ten or 20 days, they will be able to eat a full meal every day, and eat delicious food that is rarely eaten once, and they will suddenly become more energetic!

Thinking about it, I can't be lazy when I continue to work later, otherwise I will be sorry for the kindness of the host!
In the evening of this day, Li Xiang'e's family was having dinner.

Ling'er stopped after taking two mouthfuls of food, rolled her dark and watery eyes, then looked at Li Xiang'e, pointed softly at a plate of dishes on the table and asked.

"Mother, is this dish made by mother?"

Li Xiang'e blinked, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then shook her head.

"No, it was made by your grandmother, what's wrong?!"

Ling'er pouted and said in disappointment.

"Oh, it's okay. What about this, did you do it, mother?!"

Ling'er didn't give up, pointing to another dish and asking again.

Li Xiang'e bit her chopsticks, bent her eyes, looked at Linger's little bun and shook her head again.

"No, that's made by Aunt Xiao, it's delicious!"

Ling'er asked about another dish, but also didn't get the answer she wanted to know, so she boasted with a smile on her face.

Li Xiang'e became curious now.

"What's the matter, Ling'er, do you want to eat your mother's cooking?!"

Ling'er didn't speak.

After thinking about it, Xiao Baozi seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up immediately, he pointed to the white rice in his small bowl excitedly, and asked excitedly.

"Mother, did mother serve me the white rice in Ling'er's small bowl?!"

The tone is affirmative.

When Li Xiang'e heard this, her face twitched and she nodded helplessly.

"Yes!"

Linger cheered immediately.

"Oh yes, the rice that mother served for Ling'er is really fragrant and delicious!"

Pretend, you pretend again!
The corners of Li Xiang'e's mouth twitched, looking very helpless.

Sure enough, in the next second, Ling'er cupped her small hands in front of her small body, blinked her eyes and looked at Li Xiang'e expectantly, and finally revealed her little purpose.

"Mother, during the day tomorrow, can Ling'er bring some more candies to find the little friends Ling'er just met!"

Li Xiang'e lowered her eyes, hiding the smile in her eyes.

This quick-witted, brat, sure enough, he can go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!

After a long time, I'm waiting here!
Just when Linger thought nervously that Li Xiang'e disagreed, Li Xiang'e laughed out loud.

"Okay, sweetheart, I won't scare you anymore. Bring some more candies tomorrow and share them with your friends.

After dinner later, you come to my room, mother will bring some more candies to our generous Linger! "

After finishing speaking, Li Xiang'e winked mysteriously at Little Baozi Ling'er.

Linger realized that her mother wanted to put a lot of candy in her small space.

Immediately, Linger showed a big smile.

Almost made Li Xiang'e, including the others at the table, cute.

In the early morning of the next day, Ling'er looked at the brimming candies prepared by her mother in her space, and then evened out some and put them in her purse.

Afterwards, Xiao Baozi happily ran out with her maid Xiao Lan.

Miaomiao raised her paw, looked at Linger's little bun in the distance, and sighed helplessly.

'Oh, meow, is this falling out of favor? !Linger's little bun actually went out to play without bringing Master Miaomiao, Miaomiao was angry, how much did Linger like me before? '

Li Xiang'e couldn't stop laughing at that aggrieved appearance.

Picking up Miaomiao, Li Xiang'e hugged Miaomiao firmly in her arms.

Seeing Miao Miao's arrogant tiger face, he kissed the word "King" on Miao Miao's forehead——

Seeing that Miaomiao was finally happy, Li Xiang'e said helplessly.

"Ling'er has a child's heart. She just met those little friends in the village. There are so many people playing with her. Without your company for a while, Ling'er won't feel any difference. !

Besides, Ling'er wants you to sleep with her at night! "

Hearing that, Miao Miao turned her furry little head and thought about it.

Well, it seems that Master Xiangxiang said so!

With a wave of its claws, Miaomiao raised its claws and scratched at the void, very twitchy, as if I didn't care about it at all.

Li Xiang'e was amused to see it.

She wasn't going to tear it apart.

Miaomiao raised her tiger eyes, smelled Li Xiang'e's familiar smell, and also looked at Li Xiang'e's unfamiliar face.

For the doubt in my heart, Miaomiao is a curious tiger.

So, Miaomiao raised her furry and fleshy claws, and after scratching her own ears, she said as if she didn't care.

"Master Xiangxiang, Miaomiao is telling you, Xiaobaibai and Xiaomomo will be bad when they grow up now, and they specialize in bullying Miaomiao, Xiangxiang, you have to help me bully me back..."

Before finishing speaking, Li Xiang'e was puzzled.

"Meow, how long have you traveled to the Great Yong Dynasty? Why did you find a little friend! The name sounds like a dog's name, did you find two puppies to be friends with? Why didn't they follow you?" together?!
Besides, don't you feel ashamed, you are a majestic mutated tiger, but you were bullied by two puppies, you messed up like this?
Don't tell your friends in the future, I am your master!Your master, I can't afford to lose face! "

When Miao Miao heard it, it was like a real meow, and it blew up.

'Aww, Master Xiangxiang, your pet is being bullied, how can you stand by it? '

Li Xiang'e replied with a smile.

"Of course it can. As my pet in battle, you should protect me, and I can come forward to find you back!"

After a pause, Li Xiang'e was very curious.

"I'm really interested in the little Baibai and little Momo in your mouth. It's really amazing that you can actually make you a big tiger with supernatural powers and strength! What a powerful dog that is!"

dog Dog Dog? !

Meow Meow reacted now.

Xiangxiang's owner mistakenly thought that Xiao Baibai and Xiao Momo were two small animals or dogs? !
Miaomiao was mad inside.

No way?

Miaomiao opened her tiger eyes, and carefully looked at the expression of her master.

Well, very sincere!
Hey, I guess my master really thinks so.

So, here comes the point-

Master Xiangxiang has forgotten Xiao Baibai and Xiao Momo? ?
Aww, what should I do if I suddenly feel sympathetic to them!
Miaomiao lowered her head, thinking so.

After a while, Meow Miao stretched out her paws to support her furry chin, deep in thought.

As soon as Miaomiao raised her head, she suddenly thought that although Xiangxiang had forgotten Xiao Baibai and Xiao Momo, she hadn't forgotten Miaomiao too!

Thinking of this, Meow Meow became excited!

Meow Meow is so touching, so touching...

Opened his mouth and slapped Li Xiang'e's face, very enthusiastic!
Little Baibai, little Momo, I'm sorry, dead friends don't die.

The master doesn't remember you, so you can't blame Meow Meow!

Meow Meow obviously hinted and reminded me!

Thinking that in the future, Xiao Baibai and Xiao Momo will no longer compete with her in front of her Xiangxiang master, Miaomiao suddenly feels that the life of Mr. Miaomiao is a bright future!

"Xiang'e, what are you talking to yourself there for?"

Mother Li saw her daughter hugging the cat Meow Meow alone from a distance, talking to herself, a little strange.

So, Mother Li asked casually.

Li Xiang'e and Miaomiao froze when they heard the words.

Li Xiang'e turned her head, looked at Li's mother calmly, and explained with a smile.

"Mom, I'm here to tell Miaomiao not to be naughty! This Miaomiao is so naughty, she runs outside all day, and she can't see the cat anymore..."

After Li's mother heard about it, she immediately smiled at the ignorant and cute tiger face that Shang Miaomiao pretended to be.

"You child, Miaomiao is still a little milk cat, how can I understand what you say, isn't it a waste of time?"

——it understands!
Li Xiang'e snickered.

——Meow Meow understands it!

Miaomiao flicked her tail leisurely, secretly proud of herself.

After finishing speaking, Mother Li turned around and continued to work.

Seeing that Li's mother had no other doubts, they looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Let it go.

In a blink of an eye, 20 days have passed.

That half of the mountain is full of fruit trees, which look vibrant and grow very well.

Li Xiang'e went to water it from time to time. The villagers in Lijia Village passed by the fruit trees, and they couldn't help but sigh how fast these fruit trees grow!

Li Xiang'e gave birth occasionally, and these fruit trees were under the noses of the people in the village, so it was better not to give birth too fast or too much.

Abnormality is a demon!

She still wants to live in this Great Yong Dynasty.

So, some troubles, you can avoid them if you can!
Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xiang'e found that it was almost two months since their family returned to Lijia Village!

Li Xiang'e looked at the big and small fish in the pool behind Zhuangzi, and smiled happily.

——Many of the fish have grown up!

Then look at the half-ripe vegetables in the two acres of land in Zhuangzi, they are green and lush, Li Xiang'e is very satisfied.

Touching her chin, Li Xiang'e made up her mind.

——It's time to go to the county to look for sales!
