Chapter 223： Commissioned by the Wen family

Chen Changsheng's eyes widened: "You can pay taxes as soon as you plant them? What I say is here, you can do whatever you want, whether you plant it or not, it doesn't matter. I'll stop here. Don't argue with me when the seedlings are gone. However, Chen Mao Son, can your family withstand the risk of losing seedlings and seeds?"

Chen Maoer, who was named, had a grimace and said nothing.

His family is now the poorest in the whole village. In the past, Chen Ergou's family was at the bottom, and he could still be proud of it. However, Chen Ergou was killed by himself, and his family's situation has not changed.

Sigh, from being the second poorest in the village to being the poorest in the village, he felt that he could not hold his head high in front of the villagers.

"I, I believe what you say." Chen Mao'er said: "My family has ten acres of paddy fields near the Chuan River. This year, I won't plant them this year. However, brother Changsheng, can you give some cotton seeds to me? I want to grow some cotton on the south slope.”

Don’t even think about growing pepper. Not to mention that pepper seedlings are very expensive, but the pepper vines will take several years to bear fruit. His family really can’t afford to wait.

Chen Changsheng snorted, "I don't grow much cotton at home, so you should think of other ways. Oh, by the way, let me remind you again, while you are not too busy now, go to the south **** to cut some bamboo and build a bamboo If there's a flood, move all the big stuff in the house there, so it won't be ruined."

Most of the forty heads of households nodded in agreement, while only a few people disagreed.

Among them, Chen Laoshuan was the most disdainful.

My house is made of bricks and tiles, and no amount of water can wash it down, so why bother messing around with these poor ghosts?

He stood up, patted the folds of his buttocks and said, "I'll go back if there's nothing else. You guys can chat slowly."

My second son has already gone to the county town to take the exam, and my eldest son and grandson are also accompanying him to take care of him. Only my wife, daughter-in-law, and grandson are left at home. He has to go to Luochunzhong and is very busy. How can he have free time to idle here? .

Those who had the same idea as him also asked to go home. After all, the paddy fields needed to be plowed and watered, and then rice seeds and seedlings had to be planted.

Chen Changsheng sighed, waved his hand to let them go, and then said to the remaining villagers: "You also go home and prepare, and follow me to Nanpo tomorrow."

They also have many fields in the West Village on the south slope, next to the East Village, but one is in the east and the other is in the west.

"Okay, let's go to Nanpo tomorrow." The rest of the people were very happy, because many people also wanted to build houses on Nanpo, but the village leader did not agree. Of course, some people also had no money left at home. Can't afford it.

But things are different now. Cunzheng is leading them to build shacks on the south slope, but he doesn't want to go because his brain is broken.

So one day, the villagers of Dongchen Village suddenly discovered that in the land belonging to the West Village on the south slope, straw houses and bamboo sheds had sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Visitors from West Village saw people from East Village watching from a distance and waved hello enthusiastically.

Yingbao would go over to take a look when he was walking his pony, and then he would go back to his own land and continue to plant chestnut trees, apple trees, and honey locust trees.

In addition, Yingbao planted 1,000 golden fungus and 1,000 snow fungus plants in his bacteria shed. The nutrient base for cultivating the strains did not add Wudingzhi, but was soaked and steamed in Pupil Spring before use. It can not only kill insect eggs and pathogens in the nutrient base, but also increase production.

Of course, she also planted a batch of plants in the cave, each with a thousand plants.

Seeing that she was growing mushrooms so early, her parents also tried to grow them and expanded their mushroom shed to two more rooms, increasing the number of plants to 1,000 of each species.

When Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang saw this, they planted the same amount as their third brother.

Anyway, when mixing the nutrient base, everyone mixes it together and cooks and sterilizes it together, which saves trouble.

In my busy schedule, March has arrived soon.

On this day, a carriage suddenly came to the village, followed by two attendants. One of the teenage attendants, Ying Bao, recognized him as Aqiu, the servant of Mrs. Wen's third wife, Lin.

The carriage went straight to the gate of the Jiang family, and a short-bearded middle-aged man in his thirties got out of the carriage. Ah Qiu also quickly jumped off his horse and shouted into the yard: "Is anyone home?"

Yingbao ran over quickly and asked, "Who are you looking for? My parents are not at home."

Dad has been very busy recently, and I often don't see him all day long, while my mother-in-law is also tidying up the fields in the vegetable garden, planting cantaloupes and courgettes.

When Ah Qiu saw that it was Yingbao, he smiled and said, "It's Yingbao. This is Mr. Lin Dalang, who was entrusted by the Wen family to come to your house to collect mushrooms today."

Yingbao glanced at Lin Dalangjun, who looked arrogantly, and frowned: "Entrusted by the Wen family?"

"Yes." Seeing that Yingbao didn't believe it, Ah Qiu explained: "Our Mr. Lin Dalang is the biological brother of Mrs. Wen San."

Yingbao said truthfully: "I'm so sorry, all my mushrooms have been sold."

Mrs. Wen did say before that someone from the Wen family would come to buy it, but she didn't ask her to store it and wait.

Furthermore, Sister Wen didn’t mention this in her last letter. She just said that their family moved to Luzhou and asked her to send the letter to Kang’an Pharmacy in Luzhou.

At the beginning of March, I just wrote a letter to Sister Wen and sent it to Luzhou, and attached two jins of gold fungus and two jins of snow fungus to them. Unexpectedly, in the middle of March, the Wen family actually sent a Lin family member here to ask for the bacteria. Ear.

Lin Lu frowned when he heard this and yelled angrily: "What? Are you so brave that you even dare to sell the things that the Wen family wants?"

Ying Bao was not happy when he heard this: "Who are you? Why can't I just sell my things?"

She didn’t sign a contract with the Wen family, and the Wen family didn’t put down a deposit, so why did she have to wait for them to buy it? Wouldn't it be better to sell it in your own shop? The price would be three or four times higher than selling it to the Wen family.

Lin Lu became even more angry when he saw that a girl from the Jiang family dared to talk back to him: "How dare you! Where are your adults? Let them talk to me!"

"My family is very busy and has no time to receive guests. If this husband has nothing else to do, I won't keep you here." Ying Bao didn't want to be verbose with such an inexplicable person.

Seeing that her husband was about to become violent, Ah Qiu quickly advised him: "Mr., this kid doesn't know the rules, so you don't have to get angry with her. I'll go find her elders to talk to you."

Lin Lu snorted, turned around and walked away from the Jiang family gate.

Another attendant quickly took out a stool from the carriage and asked the master to sit down and rest.

Ah Qiu ran all the way to the farmland to look for the Jiang family, and actually found Old Man Jiang and Jiang Dalang.

Old man Jiang and his eldest son didn't know why, so they followed Aqiu back home. They saw a man in his thirties sitting not far from the door. He had a white face and short beard, and was wearing a fine cloth robe. At first glance, he didn't belong to a farmer.

“What does this young master have to do with us?” Jiang Dalang asked.

Lin Lu glanced at him sideways, without getting up, and said, "I was entrusted by the Wen family to come to your house to get gold ears. I wonder how much you have prepared?"

"What gold ears are you getting?" Jiang Dalang didn't know much about the transaction between Mrs. Wen and Ying Bao. He only knew that when Mrs. Wen was here, she often bought gold ears from Ying Bao, but never from anyone else.

A Qiu was afraid that his master would conflict with the Jiang family again, so he quickly explained: "My husband was entrusted by the Wen family to collect the agreed mushrooms."

Jiang Dalang was surprised: "It's not the right time to harvest golden fungi. Our fungi haven't grown well yet after they were planted."
