Several families came to the door on their own, but were turned away by the village chief.
Several people were dissatisfied: "Why can everyone else in the village participate, but we can't!"
When the village chief's wife saw that they had a bad attitude, she shouted louder than them: "If you are to blame, blame your own tongue-tied wife! If you have time, don't worry about the soles of your shoes. If you have nothing to do, stop minding other people's business!"
As soon as these people turned their heads, they thought of the reason, and shouted that they wanted their wives to come and apologize to Xie Jiaojiao.
But Xie Jiaojiao also said that she doesn't need to apologize or anything like that. They won't be there this year anyway. If she's in a good mood next year, they might be there...
Several people clenched their fists and had no choice but to go back.
I heard that in addition to the He family, other families also beat their wives at home that day...
Through this incident, everyone also understood that Xie Jiaojiao is a person who must avenge her revenge! It’s not that I won’t retaliate, it’s just that the time has not come yet.
I even felt in my heart that I shouldn’t offend Xie Jiaojiao, who has the ability to lead a big guy to make money!
Last year, Xie Jiaojiao's own family planted four acres of land, plus two acres for the village chief's family, two acres for Mrs. Wang's family, and two acres for each of the other five families. This adds up to more than ten acres of sugar cane.
There will be no shortage of brown sugar this year. According to the contract signed between Xie Jiaojiao and them, the sugar cane grown in the village can only be sold to her after being boiled into brown sugar!
She can make a lot of money just by being a middleman and making a difference in price!
Before calling everyone together, Xie Jiaojiao told the village chief that if she wanted everyone in the village to grow sugar cane, they must follow her instructions. Otherwise, she would rather lose this money-making business than let others He took advantage and made trouble with her.
The village chief understood what she meant and immediately told him to handle the matter, ensuring that nothing like that would happen!
With the village chief's assurance, Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
Everyone has been envious of others for a long time last year, and this year it is finally their turn. It is the slack season now, and everyone wants to make some money for the New Year. Moreover, if the sugar cane is planted, they can make more money next year. Look at Xie Jiaojiao's food store. They have built a house with blue bricks and tiles. They don't talk about building a house with green bricks and tiles. It is also good to be able to buy two more meats to eat.
The village chief stood in front of everyone and reiterated what Xie Jiaojiao was worried about earlier.
"Miss Xie is willing to take out this profitable business and lead everyone to make money together. Everyone must thank her! Don't take advantage of others and make irresponsible remarks to others at the same time!"
Some people in the crowd who said this lowered their heads.
The village chief continued: "There is also the problem of this kind of seedling. If I know which household has leaked this kind of seedling, then I will never be lenient. I will not only drive the person out, but also fight with the Xie family Let’s report to the Yamen together, big girl! Let him compensate for the losses of our villagers! So... you guys must supervise each other! Take care of your wife, take care of your mother, don’t be reluctant to leave your mother’s family or your daughter, secretly leak it Let’s not let one person ruin the livelihood of our village! Miss Xie also said that if we do well, it doesn’t matter who eats wine and eats meat. If we do this for several In the new year, it won’t be a problem for every household of ours to build a brick house!”
Xie Jiaojiao: .........The latter part was made up by himself...
But as soon as these words came out, the reaction of the people in the village was huge, and many people's eyes showed their expectations for the future...
Someone immediately asked: "Girl of the Xie family, don't worry, as long as you can lead the big guys to make money, our brothers will definitely guard the entrance of the village for you and won't let this thing escape!"
The speaker was a sturdy man. I heard that he used to run away with a merchant, like a bodyguard. He only came back because he injured his leg. He had several brothers at home in the village, and they all looked burly!
Seeing that he was so strong, Xie Jiaojiao believed what he said. She nodded and said, "If it's like you said, I can give you one tael of silver a year as you protect our livelihood!"
Everyone in the village looked at him with envy. He never thought that his casual words would have such a return. He immediately said firmly: "As long as Miss Xie believes in me, I will live up to your trust!"
One tael of silver!
He had injured his leg, and although he could walk with no problems, the work in the fields was not easy, and it was not convenient to go out to earn money. With these few silver coins, his wife and the children at home followed him. Life will be better.
When Xie Jiaojiao saw that he agreed, she said nothing else and said to the villagers: "Also, if any of you wants to plant sugar cane, you must sign a contract with me. Everyone signed it last year."
A few nods from last year.
Xie Jiaojiao said again: "The purpose of signing the contract is nothing but mutual restraint, so that the sugar cane you grow will have a place to sell."
Everyone from last year signed, and everyone had no objections.
"If everyone agrees, then that's it. Those who are willing to work will stay, and those who are unwilling to work can go back first, and then notify everyone after the seeds come out."
Xie Jiaojiao did not mention wages. Many people thought they were working for free and left most of them. For the rest, Xie Jiaojiao said: "You help us harvest sugar cane. I will give you ten cents per person per day." , when the time comes to plant sugar cane, you will plant it first!”
The people left behind instantly felt that they had gotten a big deal! I am very happy!
Most of the people who left felt sorry, thinking that this girl from the Xie family was too scheming. If she said she wanted money, who wouldn't want to stay?
The matter was settled like this, and the remaining people helped to harvest the sugar cane.
Niu Fusheng's tools, through his own careful consideration and Xie Jiaojiao's guidance, were finally made before the sugar cane was harvested. Xie Jiaojiao went to the field to chop some sugar cane and tried it. This method worked. Like the presses of later generations, the efficiency is much faster.
After giving the deposit, Niu Fusheng rushed to make a few more units. It was also the first time that Niu Fusheng received such an order personally. He was so happy that he promised Xie Jiaojiao that he would make them all before they finished harvesting the sugar cane!
The two-acre flat land dam next to the new house has been built.
When they first built the house, Xie Jiaojiao asked them to build this dam first because she was in a hurry to use it, and it just came in handy now.
First, they were collected at Xie Jiaojiao’s home. There were so many people this year, so they were all collected in a few days!
Sun Ruhua, Grandma Tian Hu, and Mrs. Wang built several stoves in the warehouse specifically for cooking brown sugar.
When the new people who joined this year found out that this sugar cane was actually used to boil brown sugar, they were quite shocked. This thing can boil brown sugar!
One of the people who helped last year said with a smile: "Ms. Xie covered her very tightly. Last year, each of us even carried one of us back. However, Miss Xie said we couldn't keep it public, so none of us said anything."
"You mean why when I was greeting you, I saw you holding something in your arms! Your belly is so big!"
The person who spoke smiled and continued working.
This is brown sugar! Such exquisite and expensive things, I even regretted why I didn’t go with him last year, otherwise his family would be able to sell this brown sugar this year!
When I thought of this, I looked at the neighbor next to me with envy, and I really wanted to slap myself in the face!
