"Fruit tree?" Xiao Ming shook her head after hearing this.
"There's no need to plant fruit trees. These are prime fields. Let's continue growing food!"
"Growing food?" Yi Feng couldn't react. This, this, this... this kind of food is not as high as the income from fruit wine and canned food! Ever since he saw the girl's family's fruit production and income, his thoughts had already changed. Growing food on land was no longer the only way out.
"Well, let's grow food and rent out this land. In the future, all the food in this land will be recycled." Xiao Ming said. She wanted to grow it herself, but she really didn't have that many manpower. Besides, the land was a bit far away from home, and the management It's not as convenient to get up as a tenant.
"If you go out as a tenant farmer, you still need to recycle food?" Yi Feng was shocked. He couldn't understand what the girl meant by what she said. What song was this song from?
"Well, there is no need to rent out the two shops in the city. We can open our own shop." Xiao Ming said again! She had no intention of running her own shop in the past. She had always advocated buying a house, a shop, and land for investment. She wanted to buy a house for Xiao Han and Xiao Yu's family and buy a shop for rent. She just wanted to live a simple life by herself. , have money, property, live a prosperous life, and be a rural landowner. However, after going out, she saw a side of herself that she had never known before. It turned out that all the peaceful and prosperous times were whitewashed, and the lives of the lower class people were far from as beautiful as she imagined.
In this way, she decided to open a shop to sell seeds.
She wants to develop her landowner's life even more.
"Opening a shop, what kind of goods does the girl plan to sell?" Yi Feng thought for a while and asked. He thought he could give the girl some advice on these matters. Could it be that the girl wanted to open a shop to sell fruit wine and canned food? not bad.
"I'll sell grain if it's ready, but what I sell is not grain but seeds." Xiao Ming said, she wanted to rent out the land in front of her, then recycle their harvest and sell it as seeds. Of course, these three Selling the produce of fifteen acres of land as seeds is just an excuse she put on the outside. Her main source of supply is food from space.
"Selling seeds." Yi Feng was sure that he heard correctly and repeated it again. The girl put a big stone in his heart, which made him unable to calm down for a long time. He couldn't believe that the girl would suddenly Fa Qi wanted to sell seeds.
Xiao Ming nodded firmly, "It's indeed seeds. We sell all the seeds of corn, rice, wheat, and soybeans."
Yi Feng····
Even though he has never farmed before, he also knows that farmers select their own grain to make seeds. Every household will save the best grain from that year's harvest as planting grain, and the rest will be used as seed. It is only used for food. Even in the years of famine, when food is not available, I would rather eat porridge and wild vegetables for every meal or the whole family is hungry than dare to think about growing food, because growing food means the harvest of the next year and the growth of the year. question.
Very few people buy their own seeds, and even fewer sell them. Can a girl open a shop like this?
For a moment, the wooden-faced Yi Feng resented~~~
After struggling for a long time, Yi Feng finally said what he was thinking: "Girl, every household here will save their own grain to grow grain for the coming year. I'm afraid there won't be many people buying our seeds by then. "
Yi Feng was worried. There were not many people buying seeds, so the business of the shop would be bad. It was the first time for the girl to open a shop for business. Would the girl be sad? ?
"My seeds are better than theirs, the yield is high, and more importantly, the price is cheaper than grain." Xiao Ming said, since she followed Jiang Sihai last time, she realized that productivity in ancient times was really not that good. Not only is the output low, but taxes are also required. The original income is less. After paying taxes, there is no food left to eat at the end of the year.
She didn’t know how to grow food and increase yield, but she knew that the yield of food grown through space water irrigation was much higher than that produced outside, so she came up with the idea of selling seeds to increase yield.
She also knows that sales are a problem, but the most primitive method she will use is price war. If seeds are cheaper than edible grain, will they still buy her seeds?
"Sell it cheaply?" Yi Feng felt like he was about to cry. Not only did the girl want to open a shop to sell seeds, but she also wanted to sell them cheaply.
"Well, we can also let them use their own grain in exchange for the same." Xiao Ming said, then paused and said: "The seeds in our store are always a penny cheaper than the price of grain on the market."
Yi Feng····
Girl, we can’t spend money like this even if we have money! The family is building a university hall, and money can only go out but not go in. Now they have to open a shop to sell seeds, and they have to be a penny cheaper than in other shops at all times.
For a time, Yi Feng was filled with resentment.
"The two shops need to be renovated and ready to open in time for this year's winter wheat sowing, and the land should be leased out as soon as possible." Xiao Ming arranged, not leaving much time for Yi Feng to think. What she decided would be One path to the end.
"Yes." Yi Feng nodded and returned to his usual reticence. He paused and said, "Girl, we are short of manpower, but we need to recruit from outside."
"Here, let Mingsheng learn more with you. Let him be a waiter in the store first." Xiao Ming said. Mingsheng went to school since he was a child and knew a few words. He is fourteen this year. After passing away and suffering from hunger and poverty, his mind matured a lot. He did not choose to study or practice martial arts, but stayed on his own initiative and was willing to follow Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming had not found a suitable place for him yet, but now It was time to open a store, and he could learn from it. It would also be good to be a manager in the store in the future.
Xiao Ming thought for a while, now there is really no one available in the family, whether young or old, a new store has to recruit reliable clerks, "Even store clerks, you can just hire a few, but you need a guarantor." Quality, honesty and reliability.”
"Yes." Yi Feng nodded.
Along the way, they made arrangements and walked a long way unknowingly. After Xiao Ming and Yi Feng inspected the land for a week, they asked Yi Feng to quickly go to the village chief to rent out the land. They plowed the land, fertilized it, and cultivated it. It will take some days until the crops are fertilized to prepare for winter wheat.
While the two were talking, a woman from afar came over and saw Xiao Ming and Yi Feng walking over quickly. The woman smiled flatteringly and said, "You two ladies, sir, are the new owners of this place." .”
Xiao Ming saw that the woman in front of her was dressed simply. Although her clothes were patched, they were very clean and starched: "It's us. Is there something wrong, ma'am?"
"Oh! This is the first time that Mrs. Wang has seen someone with such a sign. I didn't expect that the girl is so pretty. She must be a good person with a heart of Buddha." The woman laughed exaggeratedly and opened her mouth to praise Xiao Ming. Complimented and praised.
If you have nothing to show your courtesy, there must be something. As expected, Mrs. Wang continued: "This land used to be farmed by Landlord Zhang's family. Unexpectedly, he suddenly sold it this year. We still wonder who it is." I bought it, but I didn’t expect it to be from such a beautiful lady.”
"You don't know, this land is so good. Our boss is so weird. He takes care of it like a treasure every day. You never thought that the young master of Landlord Zhang's family owed gambling debts, and Rich Man Zhang had no choice but to sell it. ”
The woman said one sentence after another, and before Xiao Ming could speak, she explained the origin of this place clearly. If the young master of the landowner Zhang's family didn't owe gambling debts, Xiao Ming would not be able to do such a cheap thing. .
"Girl, I plan to grow food on this land. I have to cultivate it quickly and use fire ashes to raise it. Otherwise, it will be too late. If the land is not fertile, the harvest will be poor." Mrs. Wang said that her family has many sons and little land. She rented this piece of land from the landlord's house. Although the rent was higher, her husband was a good farmer. Apart from paying the rent, the rest was barely enough to feed and clothe the family. But this year was originally good, and nothing happened. I thought this land was sold by Landlord Zhang's family.
This has made the whole Wang family anxious. As the saying goes, half-young people are poor and have no land to farm. They will not be hungry next year. These days, the Wang family is sitting at home anxiously. When they hear someone coming to look at the land, She went out in a hurry.
"This land has always been farmed by you before, according to auntie's wish." After saying this, Xiao Ming got an idea. She used to share this land, and now she still wants to share it; It's strange that she has a natural affinity for people named Wang, the enthusiastic eldest Wang in the village, the little Wang who is the village chief's daughter-in-law, and the neatly dressed and sharp-tongued Wang in front of her.
Of course Wang Xiaohua is not among them.
"No, we have been planting in this land for several years, and we have developed feelings for it." Wang said without exaggeration.
"We don't farm, but we want to farm out, and we are looking for a suitable candidate in the village." Xiao Ming said.
"That's a coincidence. Girl, just let my family grow it. I promise to take care of this land like my ancestors." Wang was overjoyed and took Xiao Ming's hand eagerly. She suddenly realized and retracted her hand in embarrassment. , her hands full of rough calluses made the delicate hands of the little girl in front of her turn red.
Those little hands were so white and tender, like pieces of tofu, Ms. Wang thought to herself, none of the girls in her family looked as iconic as the little girl in front of her.
"There's nothing I can do if I rent the land to you, but I have conditions." Xiao Ming said. Unexpectedly, he asked Yi Feng to quickly rent out the land a moment ago. Unexpectedly, someone came to the door at this moment, which saved them a lot. trouble.
"What are the conditions? Miss, please tell me." Mrs. Wang looked at Xiao Ming, the eagerness in her eyes almost melted Xiao Ming's eyes. She really wanted to rent this land.
"The conditions are not difficult, but you have to use the seeds I gave you. Apart from the rent, the rest of the food you grow must be sold to me." Xiao Ming said, looking at Wang's expression, he thought she would ask for a low price. After selling it to her, he added, "At this price, I will buy it at the same price as the grain on the market. If you agree, we will go to the village chief and sign a deed in the presence of the village chief."
Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, she had never expected such a good thing, and nodded in agreement.
As if he was afraid that Xiao Ming would regret it, he immediately led Xiao Ming and Yi Feng to the village chief's house, and called the man from home, an honest farmer. After learning that he could return to the farmland, he was so happy that he could return to the farm. She couldn't speak a complete sentence, and it was Wang who accompanied Xiao Ming to talk the whole time.
Witnessed by the village chief, the two parties wrote the deed and pressed their fingerprints. When writing the deed, Xiao Ming kept a careful eye on it and only signed it for one year. He did not specify the time limit. Knowing people and their faces. Unknowingly, Xiao Ming only met this Wang for the first time, and he didn't know what she was like. If Wang deceived her or didn't do things according to her requirements, then I'm sorry, the land will be taken back next year.
