After seeing off the guests, Mr. Tao sat on the kang, patted his chest and exclaimed:

"Oh my god, someone actually buys a corn for fifty cents! This is really money falling from the sky. Let us choose from it. Boss, second brother, please do some calculations. How much money can our family earn from three acres of tender corn?

?」

Yao Tiezhu had been soaking in the cornfield all day long. He had counted the corns several times since they came out. Hearing this, he said:

"I know this. There are about 4,000 corn plants per acre, and each plant can hold two to three cobs. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to count them. You can do the math, hahaha."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Guo'er didn't want to bother with this. She looked at her sister-in-law Cheng Xiaoying with a smile. Cheng Xiaoying took out the abacus and put it on the table. She flicked it for a while, and finally raised her head and read out the numbers:

"Master, Nai, if one acre of land produces 9,000 guan, three acres of land can produce about 27,000 guan. If we sell them all, we will probably earn more than 1,300 guan when sold out.

That’s one thousand three hundred taels of silver.”

Everyone:......

Cheng Xiaoying's words made the room silent for a moment, and then everyone's mouths grew bigger and they couldn't close their mouths for a long time.

After a while, Mr. Tao slapped his thigh and shouted in disbelief: "God, this is the first time I have seen how you can make a fortune by farming! This is not farming, this is golden beans!"

Ms. Liu also sighed at the side: "This is not a good land. If we sell all the tender corn on the eighteen acres of land, how much money will we make? You can't make so much money even if you cultivate the land for eight lifetimes."

Mrs. Bao even covered her chest and shouted: "Oh, I regret it so much. You were reluctant to spare so much land to plant this golden knot. I said you would plant it in my parents' land. If you had really planted it,

Come to my land, my dear, am I the one who will get rich now?"

One sentence made the whole room laugh.

Guo'er consoled her, "Don't worry, mother, wait until next year when the land that my daughter will definitely give you will be filled with golden corns."

Mrs. Bao stared at her daughter: "This is what you said!"

Guo'er smiled and said: "Of course, but next year's tender corn may not necessarily be at this price. As the saying goes, rare things are more expensive. By next year, the county government is likely to promote this thing throughout the county. The first thing grown in the field

If there are more, the price will naturally come down.”

Everyone knows this truth, but they were too excited for a moment and no one thought about it deliberately. Now that Guo'er said it, everyone no longer felt so excited.

Yao Tiezhu thought about it: "Otherwise, our family will no longer eat young corn, and we will sell it all for money."

Guo'er heard it funny, and she said deliberately: "No, I still want to eat baby corn tomorrow."z.br

Yao Tiezhu smiled innocently: "Do you want to eat the fruit? Well, I'll break two more for you tomorrow."

Guo'er chuckled: "Break off two corns? With so many people in our family, who can eat two corns? Last time we ate young corn, we didn't even ask my aunt and vanilla, and my father and fourth uncle were studying in the city.

Some of my brothers, so many people haven’t tasted it yet.

Besides, our relatives and neighbors all know that our family has grown this precious thing this year, and they are very greedy for it. I also want to send a few to my grandma’s house so that they can see what they have learned.”

Yao Erzhu echoed: "That's right. Our family is not short of the money now. We can eat the corn we grow at home if we want. We also have a lot of relatives and friends. We must send a few corns to each family to try it out."

"

When everyone heard this, they thought this was the truth. Countryside people paid more attention to human relations. Not to mention the distant relatives of several daughters-in-law, as well as his eldest grandfather and second grandfather's family in the village. They didn't have to send a few to them.

This favor?

Just thinking about giving away an extra piece of tender corn is equivalent to a loss of fifty cents, and everyone feels terrible pain in their hearts. Maybe this is pain and happiness, right?

Father Yao endured the pain and said, "Just give it away. When the corn comes after this autumn harvest and there are more seeds, we will plant more next year and make up for it."

In fact, they know very well that it is impossible to sell the tender corn at this price next year. The county magistrate has come to see it in person and takes it very seriously. He also said that he will bring people to weigh it when the autumn harvest is harvested.

Regarding measuring the yield per mu, if the yield per mu is good, the county government will measure the yield per mu over several years.

The harvest will be bought to make seeds, and more people will be encouraged to plant corn next year.

So by this time next year, it is very likely that young corn will be available everywhere in Laiyang County, and the price will naturally drop.

However, Guoer plans to plant corn in the village in Changling next year, so that he can sell the young corn at a high price in Changling next year.

But there is still one thing that needs to be resolved as soon as possible, that is, their family's business of selling young corn to make money must be reported to the county magistrate as soon as possible. If the county magistrate learns about this matter from other places, Yao Yao will be responsible for them.

The family is definitely not in good shape. Therefore, this matter must be cleared up before the county magistrate as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Guo'er reminded him aloud.

When everyone heard this, they all remembered, yes, the county magistrate made it clear at the beginning that they must protect the harvest, but now they are selling young corn on their own initiative. It would be a big deal if the county magistrate were blamed.

Yao Erzhu: "How about I go to the Yamen early tomorrow morning and ask to see the county magistrate to explain the matter clearly. We will only set aside three acres of land and leave the rest of the land untouched. It will not have any impact on measuring the yield per mu in the future.

I guess the magistrate won’t say anything about it, right?”

Guo'er said thoughtfully: "Second uncle, don't be in a hurry. Let's think carefully about what to say. Go and see the county magistrate and tell him directly that in order to make money, our family set aside three acres of land and sold it on our own initiative."

Corn, please forgive me, the county magistrate? This is a good thing to say or not."

Yao Erzhu looked at his niece and said, "What should we do?"

If my niece could say that, she must have an idea in mind, so Yao Erzhu asked.

Guoer looked at Mr. Bao who was sitting beside him and said:

"Why don't you take the madam route and ask my mother to go see the county magistrate's wife and bring our tender corn to her for a try? Maybe she likes our tender corn after tasting it and wants to try it next time?

Then this matter will be easy to handle. What do you say in the middle? Mom should be fine, right?"

When Mrs. Bao heard that she was asked to see the county magistrate's wife, she immediately patted her chest happily and said:

"No problem! Don't worry, I'll take care of the matter of seeing the county magistrate's wife. I just plan to go to the shop tomorrow, so I'll take care of the two things at the same time."

Everyone thought this was a good idea. It would not only let the county magistrate know about the matter, but also build a relationship with the county magistrate's wife. It was also a good thing.

Mrs. Bao asked, "Daughter, do you want to go with your mother tomorrow?"

Guo'er shook her head. She didn't have much fondness for visiting these noble ladies in deep residences. If someone could do it for her, she wouldn't get involved.

The next day, Mrs. Bao took a carriage with two baskets of tender corn and headed for the county seat.

The roast duck shop that Mr. Bao went to first after entering the city happened to be Yao Sanzhu who was also in the shop. When he saw his daughter-in-law coming over, she came up to him with a busy smile and said:

"Hey, I was just thinking about why it took so long for my wife to come over to see you, and I was thinking about it, but by chance, my wife came here."

Saying this, he stretched out his hand to convince Bao Shi to come down.

Mrs. Bao gave him an angry look and said, "You are so glib. You may feel more at ease when I am not here."

The two of them made some jokes, and Mrs. Bao did not ask for help from the coachman, so she directed her man to carry a basket of tender corn from the car to the backyard. Yao Sanzhu looked at the basket of green corn cobs and wondered:

"Is the corn ripe? Isn't it said that it won't be ripe until after autumn?"

Mrs. Bao glared at him again: "What do you know? This is tender corn. I brought it here specially for you to try. I'll keep it in case you want to eat it."

The two entered the backyard, and Yao Sizhu also came out to see the third sister-in-law. Bao briefly told the two brothers what she had to do when she went to the city, and then called the cook who came to cook and told her in detail what to do with the corn.

After cooking it, he asked her to wait for a few forest students to come back and cook it for them. Then he got back on the carriage and hurried to the backyard of the county government office to see the county magistrate's wife.

When she arrived at the backyard of the county government office, she called for the door to be opened. Mrs. Bao explained her purpose to the woman guarding the door, and stepped forward to stuff a few coins. The woman then told them to wait until she went in to inform them, and waited until the woman came back.

Open the door and let Mr. Bao in.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Bao rushed back to the village from the city.

After sitting down, Mrs. Bao couldn't wait to tell everyone: "The matter is done.

Already."

For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted to her. Mrs. Bao slowly drank a cup of herbal tea, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on her forehead, and then slowly spoke to everyone with a bit of pride:

"I saw the county magistrate's wife, tsk tsk tsk, she really deserves to be an official's wife, with such momentum and style, she looks like an official's wife when she sits there.

But she talked to me very kindly, and she chatted with me for a long time. The conversation came up about corn. I gave her the young corn I had brought over and told her that it was delicious and that it was available in the city.

The sales of the big restaurants are very expensive.

After hearing this, the lady immediately asked the servant to take them to the kitchen and cook some. After tasting it, she said it was delicious and said she would send the rest to Huyang for her daughter to try. Miss Shen happened to be pregnant now.

Send some fresh food over to appetize her."

Guoer's eyes lit up: "Sister Shen is pregnant? This is a good thing."

Mrs. Bao: "No, Miss Shen has been married for such a long time. She finally got pregnant with a child. The county magistrate's wife was as happy as anything. She even told me how you two got along well in the first place. Give it back to me.

When I asked about your affairs, asked me if you mentioned your husband’s family, I think you probably wanted to protect your matchmaking, hahaha.”

Yao Erzhu saw that Bao's topic was starting to go off topic, so he couldn't help but interject:

"Third brother and sister, what did you tell the county magistrate's wife about our family selling young corn?"

Bao's thoughts were pulled back again and he said:

"To tell you the truth, my wife kept praising the deliciousness of the young corn and asked me how I grew it. As I was talking, I told her about it and begged my wife to intercede with the county magistrate. We only allocated 18 acres of land.

If you sell three acres of land, the harvest of those fifteen acres of land will definitely not be affected, and there will definitely be no shortage of corn.

Madam, it’s just a trivial matter. This corn is grown by our family. As long as it doesn’t delay the official work ordered by the magistrate, don’t worry. She will tell the magistrate.”

The more Mrs. Bao talked, the more proud she became. She took a few of her sisters-in-law and continued to talk about things with the county magistrate's wife.

Guoer thought of Shen Yingying, the enthusiastic and simple daughter of the county magistrate, who was also a silent cousin. They had never seen each other since she got married. When she followed her second uncle to Huyang last year, she originally planned to wait. After the business matters came to an end, she went to see her at home. Unfortunately, she was so unhappy with the Zhang family that she had no time to care about anything else and left in a hurry without visiting her home.

Now, when my mother heard that the county magistrate's wife wanted to give her daughter some tender corn, Guo'er was moved. She might as well break some corn tomorrow and send someone to Huyang immediately to give it to Sister Shen. The county magistrate's wife gave it out of love from her mother's family, so she gave it here. It's the love between little sisters.

Sister Shen is pregnant. Young corn is a coarse grain, rich in nutrients. It was recognized as a good health food in the previous life, and it is suitable for pregnant women.

It's just that this corn is not easy to store, and the weather is hot. Even if it is broken off and wrapped in green skin, it will not keep its freshness for a few days. After that, the taste will be much worse, so if you want to deliver it, you have to send someone to deliver it quickly.

In addition to Sister Shen, those from Changling must not forget to send some as gifts, and...
Chapter completed!
