Jiang Zhi took the money bag and glanced at Li Laoshi again. When he saw that he was pretending to be calm, he knew that he was holding something back.
"Li Laoshi, why are you pretending in front of me? If you have something to say, just say it and let it go!" Jiang Zhi said impatiently.
Li Laoshi scratched his head: "Hey, I knew I couldn't hide it! Sister-in-law Jiang, I want a piece of land, uh uh, just to grow medicine!"
"Growing medicine? What kind of medicine? Do you want to plant Ophiopogon japonicus?" Jiang Zhi asked in surprise.
Li Laoshi settled in Xujia Village, so he was naturally qualified to rent land at a low price just like Tian Gui Wuyang and others.
But Li Lao Lao is too lazy to burn snakes and eat them. As long as he has a bite to eat, he will never move. He has never considered planting those lands. Why would he want to plant medicine today?
Could it be that when he saw that he was going to plant Ophiopogon japonicus, he also wanted to plant Ophiopogon japonicus?
There is never a problem in the planting industry.
Especially when harvesting Ophiopogon japonicus, the farmers sit in the field and cut off the enlarged roots that look like miniature peanuts on the roots of Ophiopogon japonicus.
If Li Laoshi can endure this hardship, that would be a good thing.
Li Laoshi continued to scratch his head: "I don't grow Ophiopogon japonicus. This is what I think. Houttuynia cordata doesn't need to be cultivated by humans. It can grow as long as it relies on water. Although it is everywhere, it can't withstand a few people cutting it when it is actually picked.
Hey, Sister-in-law Jiang, let me say it first, this business is mine, you can't steal it. "
This statement...is the same as worrying that Jiang Zhi would steal the money from selling medicine during the Chinese New Year.
Jiang Zhi didn't go in that direction at all. She just felt that Li Laoshi was really a genius. In order to stop doing farm work, he was trying every possible means to find money.
Houttuynia cordata in Bajun area grows wherever there is water, and can grow up to one meter high by the water in summer.
Nowadays, Zheergen is not an Internet celebrity food. People lack oil and water in their stomachs, and they lack rich seasonings. Even in places that are most receptive to this taste, there are very few people who really like to eat it, and no one cultivates it on purpose.
Li Laoshi continued: "As long as I plant it once, I can harvest it every year. I don't need to fertilize or water it. I don't care about anything and just pick up money..."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhi smiled bitterly, okay, I thought he was planting medicine carefully, but it turns out he was planting grass freely.
Houttuynia cordata is originally a grass, and it is also a weed with a well-developed root system and rapid growth.
If Li Laoshi does what he does, a piece of land that has been carefully taken care of will be abandoned in less than two years, and the money for selling medicinal herbs is not as much as that of food.
Jiang Zhi directly denied his dangerous approach. If Tian Gui and others saw him wasting good land like this, they would definitely jump in.
Hearing Jiang Zhi's objection, Li Laozhi became anxious and said quickly: "Xu Genbao doesn't want to build land, so I just want to use his land to grow Houttuynia cordata. Anyway, it doesn't occupy my own crop land."
He also knew that once grass was planted and the farmyard manure was properly adjusted within a few years, the land would be ruined.
It means that the land is not yours and you don’t feel bad if it is spoiled!
Jiang Zhi frowned, she heard something else: "Xu Genbao still doesn't farm?"
Xu Genbao and his wife became much more honest after being beaten this time.
The two went to work in the fields and brought back all the corn left by Xu Genyou.
Wang Xiaoju also did laundry and cooking for Mr. Liu, and treated Ms. Tian with respect and no longer looked down upon.
Mrs. Tian was someone who could suffer losses. Seeing that her sister-in-law had changed, she no longer cared about the past and helped Wang Xiaoju organize the shack.
The two sisters immediately became affectionate and warm.
Seeing the harmony in the family, Ms. Liu was so happy that she praised and complained to the women in the village behind her back. If only she had been so sensible a few years earlier!
Jiang Zhi thought it could last for a while, but he didn't expect that the dog couldn't change its habit of eating shit. What could happen now?
Li honestly confessed: "Xu Genbao quietly told me that he was not used to farming and still wanted to do his own craft.
He is a gardener and needs to stay away from home for a few days. Wang Xiaoju is not able to farm, but she can help him pull strings.
He wanted to take his wife out to do crafts, but his family would definitely not agree, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he just wanted to leave quietly.
The grain harvested from the field will be returned to Xu Genyou. Leave the land to me and I can grow whatever I want. "
Jiang Zhi fell silent.
She could see that Xu Genbao and Li Laoshi were the same people. They didn't like to do farm work or crops. They just wanted to do crafts and no longer grow food.
Being a pure craftsman is somewhat unprofessional in the eyes of pure farmers.
Food is the most important thing for the people, and farming is the top priority.
Every family is a part-time worker and part-farmer. They only make money when they are busy farming, and when they are not working, they make money.
Xu Genbao took his wife out to make money, which is normal in modern times.
But here, it was difficult for the couple to convince Xu Genyou and Liu.
Xu Genbao has skills, Wang Xiaoju is eloquent, and she is a woman who grew up in a small town. She is not as timid as ordinary farm girls when going out, so they will be Xu Genbao's good assistant.
But a while ago, the couple was scared of being beaten, and recently they couldn't hold their heads up in the village, fearing opposition and being beaten again, and now they want to sneak away with their children...
For Jiang Zhi, everyone has his own ambitions. Xu Genbao's idea is not a bad thing, but he should communicate more with his family.
Especially the idea of leaving the land to Teacher Li is extremely wrong. If Xu Genyou finds out, it will be completely sad.
She thought for a moment: "I'll go down the mountain tomorrow. Li Laoshi, please bring some cotton down the mountain and ask Xu Genbao and Wang Xiaoju to wait in the warehouse. I have something to say."
Li Laoshi agreed and carried the cotton harvested by Xiao Manye down the mountain on an old mule.
Jiang Zhi wants to use the cotton to make quilts.
The next day, when Jiang Zhi appeared in the drying shed, Xu Genbao had already started working.
He is preparing bamboo curtains for playing flowers.
Wang Xiaoju is playing with the hand-operated seed rolling machine to remove cotton seeds.
By rolling and squeezing two adjacent wooden sticks, the cotton blossoms are pulled through the gap in the middle of the wooden sticks, and the cotton seeds with hard outer skin are squeezed out from the gap.
When the two saw Jiang Zhi, they quickly put down their work and stood up.
Jiang Zhi waved his hand and said directly: "Li Laoshi has already told me about your situation. Your idea is good, but things can't be done this way. If not, you can play with cotton wool first."
Xu Genbao also helped others in the town, but Jiang Zhi didn't see his skills with his own eyes. The most important thing was that Jiang Zhi didn't trust Wang Xiaoju.
If you go to help persuade Liu and Xu Genyou to let the couple go out to make money, and it turns out that Wang Xiaoju is being lazy and cheating, then you have good intentions and do bad things.
At this time, Wang Xiaoju was no longer as domineering as she had seen several times before.
The injury on his face has healed, but the traces of hair pulled off by his mother-in-law at the temples are still there. At this time, even if he carefully pulled his hair into a bun, he couldn't cover the gap as big as a finger.
He even avoided looking at Jiang Zhi, trying to control his fear and panic.
Xu Genbao also looked nervous. The wound from the yellow wattle stick on his back had already healed, but the pain in his heart remained, and he was trembling a little as he stood in front of him.
