Chapter 318
The villagers of Xi Ling Village would often go down to the foot of the mountain to watch from time to time.
They were very law-abiding, knowing that piece of mountain had already been bought by the Mo Family, and would not rashly go up.
They just wanted to see what flowers could bloom in this season.
At the same time, they would also gather in groups of three or two, saying that the Mo Family was not in vain as nobles from the Capital city, spending so much silver to buy a piece of mountain, and it turned out to be for planting trees.
After all, they did not recognize these fruit trees, thinking they were just some special trees that could bloom...
He Zhiran did not care about the thoughts of those villagers. She and Mo Jiuye had already started preparing for the spring plowing.
Of course, she could only make suggestions and move her mouth now.
Mo Jiuye was always around her, not allowing her to have too much movement.
The neglected land had been cleared once before the frozen soil, and now it only needed to be plowed to plant.
The rabbits raised at home were increasing day by day. In addition to being busy making cold rabbit dishes every day to supply Tang Mingrui, the sisters-in-law were making doll pendants.
Lan Er and Yu Er also quickly integrated into the Mo Family's life. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.competed with each other to do housework every day, and in their spare time they would go to help Mo Hanyue take care of those pet rabbits.
There was a lot of work, and the Mo Family women couldn't keep up. They would give some of it to the women of the Xie Family and Fang Family to do together, still paying them wages according to their work, just like when making dolls.
Therefore, they really couldn't help with the farm work.
Eighth Brother had to go to the yamen every day, and Third Older Brother took Liang Hao and the others to the western border and had not returned yet.
Although Seventh Elder Brother's health had improved a lot, his strength was still not as good as that of his other brothers.
According to He Zhiran's intention, he had to recuperate for at least a few more months.
Sixth elder brother's body was basically free of impediments, and he followed Mo Jiuye and Fifth Elder Brother every day, busy with odd jobs, completely living the life of a farmer.
Such a life was not unfamiliar to the Mo family at all.
Doing things with their own hands and having adequate food and clothing every day, although it was more tiring, being together as a family made them feel more fulfilled.
The laborers Meng Huaining helped find in Yun City came in handy after finishing planting the fruit trees.
Although they were not as familiar with farming as those countrymen, who would begrudge the daily wage of thirty wen, in order not to displease their employer, they worked very hard.
Xie Tianhai was a relative of the Mo Family, so it was easier for him to speak up.
"Ninth Brother, we were thinking of buying some of these high-yielding seeds from you, what do you think?"
Xie Tianhai had also followed the local customs, calling Mo Jiuye "Ninth Brother" like the villagers.
He didn't hold back with the villagers, let alone the Xie Family and Fang Family.
"No problem, my wife said that currently the high-yielding seeds available are corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes. Which do you plan to plant?"
Anyway, his wife's space-produced seeds were not picky about seasons, and could be planted together without any problem.
Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou had tasted all three items at the Mo Family.
In their hearts, these were all good things, especially potatoes, the stir-fried dishes tasted extremely good.
"If possible, I'd like to buy some seeds of all three from you."
As for the price, Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou didn't think too much about it.
Now both their families had income, and it was no longer the time when they lacked silver. They had heard that the Mo Family's seeds were all obtained from foreigners, so the price would naturally not be too low.
It didn't matter if the seed prices were a little higher. If the yield went up, what was there to worry about losing money?
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran thought the same way, they could help people who had good relations with their family, but they couldn't help without a bottom line.
For example, these seeds basically cost them nothing, but they couldn't give them away for free.
The price was also discussed in advance between him and his wife.
"Uncles, we still have surplus seeds at home. The price of corn seeds is 50 wen per jin.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes are 25 wen per jin."
Hearing the prices Mo Jiuye quoted, Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou both felt a little embarrassed.
Even if they didn't understand business, they knew that things bought from foreigners would not be cheap.
The prices the other party quoted now were probably at the expense of their own profits to take care of them.
"Ninth Brother, you selling us seeds is good enough already, don't lose money to accommodate us!"
The seed prices Mo Jiuye reported were indeed not high, but they were still much higher than the cost price. He smiled and explained, "I bought a lot at the time, so the price is cheaper without losing money. Uncles can go home and get whatever you need."
