The second daughter-in-law's surname is He, and those who are familiar with her in the village call her "Yulan". She is wearing a wrinkled "Chenliang" shirt. I guess the dress is a bit old, the color is yellow, and the size is obviously too small. The lower body is a pair of gray trousers, old.
Jiefang shoes are very simple.
This young woman has a rather round face, and her hair is a little messy, randomly tied in a circle and tied behind her head. Her appearance may seem ordinary at first glance, but her eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose are well coordinated, making her look attractive.
The young woman was very nervous at first, but when Zhou Qingfeng asked her if she knew how to farm, she nodded and said "yes". Then the man asked her again, "What is more profitable to grow now?"
Ah... why are you asking this suddenly?
Zhou Qingfeng staggered away and pointed at his dragon dung field. The messy patch of land made the young woman couldn't help laughing - the land was so poorly planted, with several crops mixed together, but
Seedlings planted randomly will grow well.
"Don't laugh, I'm serious. I just want to know what I can grow to make money now?" Zhou Qingfeng asked with a straight face.
After laughing, the young woman was not so shy. She glanced at the half of the vegetable field and whispered: "If you can really grow it, peanuts are the best. Now that oil is expensive, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it. I don't have to choose peanuts either."
Land, the sandy land along the river beach is the best.”
“Where do you get peanuts?”
"There is an oil pressing mill in the village. As long as you transport it, they will harvest it. It's only 181 catties. If one acre of land is well planted, it is not difficult to harvest four to five hundred catties."
Doesn't sound bad.
The two chatted for a long time about the details of peanut farming. Zhou Qingfeng asked almost everything from production to sales. He soon realized that it was impossible for him to earn 5,000 yuan from farming through normal methods. Even if he used
There are also many difficulties in using black technology.
After chatting for an hour, the young woman suddenly asked in surprise: "Why do I feel that the eggplants you planted are bigger than before?"
"You're dazzled." Zhou Qingfeng knew that the plants he planted grew very fast, so he quickly took the young woman's arm and tried to drag her away. "Let's talk about renting a house. I can't live in this house anymore. Why don't you ask?
I contacted the village chief and he said your family should have a house to rent."
"Yes, I still have several vacant houses." When it came to renting a house, the young woman shrank her neck and said timidly: "If you want to rent, just pay ten yuan a month. If you want food included,
, just add another fifteen yuan."
"Fifteen yuan for a meal? What's enough for you?"
"Of course it's one month." The young woman was afraid that Zhou Qingfeng would misunderstand, so she quickly waved her hand and emphasized deliberately.
Fifteen yuan a month? Fifty cents a day, what can I eat? Boiling radishes in plain water is not enough.
Zhou Qingfeng took out five "Great Unity" cards from his pocket and stuffed them in. The young woman seemed to be burned. She took the money but refused to take it, and stuffed it back. He said with a straight face: "I want to eat every meal."
Chicken, duck, and fish. This is the food fee. If it is not enough, we will give it to you."
If you eat chicken, duck and fish every meal, you want to be an emperor, right?
Nowadays, a person in the city can live a very good life with thirty or forty monthly living expenses, but in the countryside, a person who spends fifty a month would not even pay for it.
The young woman was uneasy. She had also heard that the boy had made a lot of money this week, but she couldn't imagine what kind of day it would be to eat and drink so much. She was about to persuade him to be more economical, but Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about me.
Spend the money and do as I ask."
Holding the money in her hand, the young woman felt the pride of spending money for the first time. For someone who has to be careful about every penny, this was a huge psychological impact. No matter how she thought of Zhou Qingfeng before, now this young boy is simply
The whole body exudes golden light.
"Do you really want to spend so much?" The young woman was still a little unsure and wanted a definite answer from Zhou Qingfeng.
Zhou Qingfeng did not waste any time on this issue. Instead, he moved closer to the woman and lowered his voice and asked: "Sister-in-law, if I have a batch of peanuts that I want to sell, but I don't want people to know that I sold them, how can you
Is there any way?"
The man came too close, and his breath reached the woman's ears. She listened to a lot of gossip, and hated the men in the village who came closer. She didn't dare to hide, and lowered her head to stare at the shoes, making noises like mosquitoes.
Said: "Why don't you just sell it secretly at night?"
Zhou Qingfeng nodded and shook his head, "I can't sell secretly at night alone. I don't know who I sell to. I don't even know which direction the gate of the oil pressing mill in the village faces."
The woman's heart was beating wildly after hearing this sentence, "If you really want to sell, why don't you just find someone to help you."
Zhou Qingfeng asked again: "Is there anyone reliable?"
The woman's heart really jumped into her throat, her face turned red, and she was thinking: "What does this boy mean by this? What does he want to do with me at night? What should I say? Or am I overthinking it?"
, maybe he just asked."
The woman didn't answer, and Zhou Qingfeng didn't continue to ask. He also felt that there was no need to talk about it in such detail. Besides, he and the woman were new to each other, so it was impossible for them to talk too deeply.
"Okay, I'll stay at your house first. Uncle Jiang bought me some grain, oil, rice and noodles this morning, and I'll find a truck to transport them to your house. As for the bedding, well... my bedding is really rotten.
If it’s enough, let’s move there first and then talk about it.”
Zhou Qingfeng has nothing to carry. He has a cart at home, and he can load some daily necessities and transport them away. The heaviest thing is a sack of 50 kilograms of grain. Commercial grain for urban residents only costs two cents a pound.
, he paid a high price for this, but he didn’t have much money.
After chatting with the young woman, Zhou Qingfeng wanted to try planting peanuts to complete the task. First, he had to observe how long it took for peanuts to germinate in the dragon dung field and then estimate the yield per acre.
If the yield is high enough, Zhou Qingfeng will plant a few acres of peanuts in his riverbank destroyed by flash floods - he lives in a remote place, and no one usually comes. Even if someone comes, he will find a way to catch them.
Walk.
As for the labor force growing peanuts, they are naturally twenty-seven skeleton 'farmers'. They will come out at night and return during the day - no one goes out in this valley once it gets dark, so there is no worry about exposure.
As long as there is enough output, Zhou Qingfeng feels that he will definitely be able to complete the task within three months. As for how to sell the produced products, he feels that there will definitely be a way by then.
Leaving his shabby and dilapidated house with confidence, Zhou Qingfeng pushed a cart full of goods to Yulan's house. At the beginning of the journey, the two of them joked a few words, but when they reached the intersection of the main village in front, there were several people there immediately.
The idle man stood on the roadside laughing.
The young woman was thin-skinned and immediately lowered her head and hurried past, thinking of going home quickly. She also knew that she shouldn't bring a strange man to live in her home, as this would inevitably cause gossip. But life had to get through.
I have become accustomed to gossiping and ridiculing in the past few years. It is just a matter of waiting a few years for me to grow old and lose my luster, and naturally no one will talk about it anymore. If the idle men in the village want to talk about it, they will talk about the young daughter-in-law.
Just walking quickly for more than ten meters, there was a burst of yelling and quarreling behind me. Someone shouted: "You brat, why are you hitting people? What's wrong with saying a few words to you? In terms of seniority, I am your grandfather."
When the young woman turned around, she saw Zhou Qingfeng grabbing an idle man by the collar and punching him until his face was covered in blood. Several people around him were still trying to break up the fight, but the young man who was less than twenty years old
But he was very cruel, and he would curse every time he punched...
"You like talking about people behind their backs, don't you? Today I'm going to let you know who the real grandpa is!"
