Ji Qingyao didn't say the rest of the words, but the villagers were not stupid. As long as it related to their own interests, everyone was smart. Their workshops did not need to be built in Xiaoxi Village. There were many people who wanted to work in the workshops. This Who wouldn’t want to be able to work and make money right out of home?
And as Ji Qingyao said, she doesn't have to take out the potatoes. They can find a place to hire people to grow them and sell them at a high price. They don't have to be planted in Xiaoxi Village.
Immediately, some villagers jumped out and pointed at Mrs. Liu and said: "Dashan family, when we cleared the wasteland to plant potatoes, we all saw the harvest of the village chief's family with our own eyes. Your family is lazy, and you are still saying sour things when you see everyone clearing the wasteland." By the way, if you have that time, you might as well go home and stay in bed. The potatoes in the village chief’s house are growing well. If a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, you said this in front of the big guys. It will make you feel unbalanced after seeing that we have made money. But please don’t bring us big guys with you. Just like Miss Ji said, her seeds are also bought with money. If you want it, pay for it. If you don’t want to buy it, just stand aside. Don’t act blindly here.”
"That's right, you are from the Dashan family. You alone cannot represent all of us. If you want to take advantage of others, don't bring us with you. Besides, they didn't charge us more money. They are the same price as the government."
"Yes, people in the Dashan family should be contented. Eight cents a pound of seeds is not expensive, but cabbage seeds cost eight cents a pound. Besides, cabbage can only be used for cooking, and it can't fill your stomach. If you think it's expensive, just "Stand aside and don't block the road here."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Liu's face turned ugly quickly.
Old Mrs. Li was hiding in the crowd. She was the one who started all this, thinking that Liu's commotion would allow Ji to take out the seeds for free. Unexpectedly, those who had just received the benefits united together like never before. , Mr. Liu is usually very good at making waves, but now when it comes to business, he is defeated in a few seconds.
"Village Chief, please bring me the documents you signed before. Now that we have received the money, we should also pay for the Ji family's seeds. They have done us a great favor by letting us plant first and then settle the bill. We can’t be like some people and act like wolves.”
"Village Chief, what the Li family said makes sense. We don't want to be white-eyed wolves. I made the most money today in my life. I have never seen so much money."
Seeing that she had nothing to do, Ji Qingyao found a few people to move all the remaining potatoes in her field to the village chief's house. She told the villagers that if they wanted to buy seeds, they could go directly to the village chief's house. As for the seeds that the villagers owed her before, she also bothered Jiang. Shi took over the processing together, whether it was returning things or giving money.
As for those who want to take advantage without paying, that's impossible. Now everyone has seen the profits brought by potatoes. Sweet potatoes can be dug in about ten days. Even if the yield is not as good as potatoes, they will still be able to make a fortune by then. When it comes to income, no one will have extra money to deal with, and all this was brought about by the girl from the Ji family.
In order to give priority to Xiaoxi Village in whatever the Ji family does in the future, everyone is resisting and ridiculing people who take seeds for free without paying.
The next day Ji Qingyao received the silver from Jiang. The total amount before and after selling was one hundred and fifteen taels. Ji Qingyao gave five taels to Jiang, saying it was for her hard work.
Mrs. Jiang refused to accept anything, and her family got nearly fifty taels of silver from selling potatoes this time. She was grateful to Ji Qingyao for accepting her filial piety money before it was too late.
Half a month passed very quickly. With regard to the potato harvest, the day before digging sweet potatoes, Ji Qingyao went to the village chief's house and wrote down the details of planting sweet potatoes again and handed it to Pei Ningyuan. , and reminded him of the people who might come tomorrow. At dawn the next day, she got on Chai Feng and headed towards the county town.
She didn't have time or wanted to look at some people's faces, as if someone owed them something, especially Mrs. Li. Old age was no excuse for being unreasonable.
Ji Qingyao stayed in the county seat until the second day before returning to the village. Everyone she saw along the way was smiling and taking the initiative to say hello to her. It was not until Jiang arrived that she realized that although the sweet potato yield yesterday was not as high as that of potatoes, the yield per mu Up to three thousand pounds.
In less than twenty days, the villagers earned an average of nearly thirty taels from selling potatoes and sweet potatoes. This is something that most people never dared to think about before.
Ji Qingyao is also happy for the villagers to have income. They are busy making money and have less domestic problems. Now the village is clearing up wasteland and preparing fertilizer for planting potatoes and sweet potatoes in two months. Everyone is busy. , Ji Qingyao is happy to see such a scene.
No matter whether everyone is working hard for life or something else, the scene of such hard work always makes people feel happy.
