Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 9 The Village Chief Ran Away
The old men and women who often went to the village entrance to bask in the sun had already seen the cast iron stove in my third grandfather's house.

Nowadays, when a strong man knocks on the door at night, I am not startled but happy. I pick up the valuables I prepared in advance and leave with my bag.

As for home...

We are so poor that we can barely make ends meet, what is there to be nostalgic about?

Besides, the yard is here and it won’t run away.

Not long after.

Seven old ladies, eight old men and five distant cousins ​​in the village entered the hot plastic greenhouse one after another, and were placed in the southeast corner with their beds.

Because the elderly people sleep very little, they couldn’t fall asleep after being tossed around like this.

Yu Yang went to find his sixth uncle again, opened the back window of his main room, put a large color TV in it, connected a DVD, started the home theater, and played European and American blockbusters in a grand manner.

The strong men returned to each courtyard and quickly renovated or built the kang.

[You occupy a house...] x20
Farmer: 25/25, 20 of them are on their way.

When Yu Yang finished his work, it was almost dawn.

He immediately picked up the soft pack of Hua Xia cigarettes given to him by the vegetable vendor and walked to the provincial road.

Just stop a cyclist, hand him a cigarette, and ask him to take a message to Shiliying.

"100 steamed buns with meat, deliver them to the northernmost courtyard of Yujia Village, and call Yuyang when you get there."

"If he doesn't believe me, just say I just bought 50 a few days ago."

……

the other side.

The noise of vegetable vendors queuing up all night could not be hidden from the villagers.

The villagers who had lost their father and mother, as well as those who came to watch the fun, all crowded outside the gate of Yu Yang's house to watch.

Seeing such a large shed and the billowing smoke in the sky...

"The bean sprouts were definitely not picked up from the highway. They were grown by Sanyuan himself."

"I told you, I waited on the highway for three days and three nights, but I didn't see any car overturn. Instead, the passing cars thought I was a robber and almost hit me to death."

"Wow, so many people are coming here to wholesale. Are these bean sprouts very profitable?"

"A piece of land the size of two palms requires at most a handful of soybeans, which can be sold for two yuan. Do you think it is profitable?"

"I heard from Yu Quezi that Lao Liu planted a kang, and sold the basket and bean sprouts for three hundred and twenty last night."

"Wow! No wonder his family has stewed chicken, stewed fish, and braised beef."

"Also, Lao Liu got drunk last night and told Yu Quezi, who was accompanying him, that as long as he paid 1500 yuan for the technical fee, Yu Quezi could also renovate the kang at home."

"1500? That's too expensive!"

"You don't know how to calculate. Yu Laoliu can earn 300 yuan by planting a fire kang every three days without the basket, which is 3000 yuan a month. After deducting the cost and the 1500 yuan technical fee, you can earn 1000 yuan a month!"

"Why did you leave?"

"Go home and get the money."

Of course, some people scoffed.

"Bean sprouts can only make a little quick money in the winter, but when the spring comes and the weather warms up, who will buy that stuff?"

"Yes, it's expensive now. When the weather gets warmer, I can grow it myself. I won't even buy it at 20 cents a pound."

"Spending 1500 yuan to renovate the kang is a waste of money."

"Besides, the temperature is going to drop soon. Without a kang, how are we going to get through the winter?"

"The most important thing is that bean seedlings need sunlight. If it snows, the kang that we spent so much money on will be wasted."

……

Yu Yang returned from the provincial road and was slightly stunned when he heard people talking about it.

When did the technical support fee of 1000 yuan become 1500 yuan?
He immediately called his sixth uncle.

"Last night, Yu Quezi drank with me and said he wanted to grow bean sprouts. I told him that I would need 1500 yuan per month for technical support."

"You are too cruel, aren't you?"

"You hired the technicians, and they want 1000 a month, but we arranged their food, supplies, and accommodation, and all of these cost money."

"Makes sense!"

"Also, this money-making business can't just be done by anyone who wants to do it. We must capture people's hearts and minds and unite them. Otherwise, how can we work together to accomplish great things?"

"Hey, my old sixth uncle, how come you suddenly know so much?"

"I watched a whole night of mafia movies last night, maybe I got it."

Yu Laoliu said, and then whispered: "There are so many outsiders in the village, should we take advantage of the chaos to find a pit to bury the village chief?"

"???"

"You can tie a piece of stone and throw it into the lake in the east. I'm just afraid that next year there will be a drought and the lack of water will be discovered."

"..."

"Don't worry, I'll do it."

Hiding in the crowd and secretly observing the village chief in the plastic greenhouse, he saw Yu Yang whispering to Yu Laoliu.

I had been planning to get behind the two of them and listen, but I got furious when I heard this.

……

After recruiting 20 farmers, the population cap reaches 25.

Since each strong man holds one mu of land, the upper limit of farmland is 1 mu.

Although the 20 newly recruited farmers have not yet arrived, the existing five strong men can plant 5 acres of bean sprouts.

therefore.

10 o'clock in the morning.

A corner of the plastic greenhouse was lifted up.

The eldest brother and others continued to plant, while Yu Yang took his two cousins ​​with him, one tore the small cubes, one to put them in baskets, and one to carry them out. In fact, in the eyes of the villagers, the two cousins ​​were a bit stupid.

This is also the reason why Uncle Six always likes to entrust the two brothers to Yu Yang whenever he encounters problems.

But in Yu Yang's opinion, the two cousins ​​are not stupid.

Or.

When we are born, our brain is like a blank sheet of paper.

Parents need to keep imprinting on this blank piece of paper, writing down rolling over, crawling, walking, talking, writing, counting, being a human being, etc.

The more things the parents master, the more imprints they have on them.

The less our parents know, the larger the blank space will be on this white paper.

98 was a time when information was not widely circulated.

There is no television at home, not many teachers in school, and parents have little knowledge, so naturally the children they teach know very little.

Therefore, the two cousins ​​can farm, drive, and build walls. They are very obedient and filial, but when it comes to things they don’t understand, they are confused and look stupid.

Perhaps, this is also a microcosm of the vast majority of rural teenagers in the current social context.

"You two should go to school, go out, and gain more knowledge."

"I'll listen to my third brother."

"Call me Brother Sanyuan."

"Well, Third Brother, when are we going to bury the village chief?"

"Don't listen to your father's nonsense. Doing that is against the law and you will go to jail."

Chatting while working.

At 11 o'clock, 20 strong men arrived one after another.

As for the reason why this group of people came from home, Yu Yang originally planned to announce that they were technicians.

The problem is, I have never made a phone call or written a letter, and I don’t know where the strong man came from.

And they announced that the car overturned at high speed...

With so many people, I'm afraid the bus must have overturned.

Therefore, Yu Yang planned to disguise this group of people as debt collectors.

"Third brother, the car overturned again on the highway last night."

"what?"

"I heard that someone was squatting on the bus, apparently intending to rob the bus. The bus failed to brake and crashed into the guardrail."

"Is everyone in the car okay?"

"There was a driver returning home with a broken head. He was sent to the health center. He should be fine. But the bus was torn apart by a group of sheep herders who got up early. The driver has been taken away by the police station."

"Has the robber been caught?"

"No."

Yu Yang fell into deep thought.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to say the reason why the strong man came to Yujia Village was a car overturn on the highway or that he came to collect a debt.

Never mind, reality is even more outrageous.

Let it roll over.

Busy until 2pm.

All 750 baskets of bean sprouts grown in the first round have been wholesaled.

There are also fewer vegetable vendors coming to ask for goods.

At the same time, 25 strong men started the second round of planting.

In order to avoid arousing people's suspicion, Yu Yang told the vegetable vendor that the other half of the plastic greenhouse would have to wait until four or five in the afternoon.

However, everyone knows that bean sprouts do not grow in a day.

The bean sprouts planted tomorrow, including the bean sprouts planted the day after tomorrow, definitely cannot be wholesaled.

The vegetable vendors can only come again at least the day after tomorrow.

"Then we will sell tomorrow's 1500 baskets and the day after tomorrow's 1500 baskets ourselves."

"Or, expand the area of ​​plastic greenhouses. Even if we can't build farmland, putting them there can cover up the yield."

Yu Yang thought of the plan for increasing investment and expanding production that he had outlined in the morning. He immediately collected the payment for goods from the morning, called his elder and second brothers, and went straight to the village chief's house to discuss the allocation of a few acres of wasteland.

The village chief, who was already furious, did not dare to return home after seeing this scene.

Hiding his figure among the queued vehicles, he ran into the small western-style building beside the provincial road, hurriedly took his passbook, took his wife and son with him, started his motorcycle, and disappeared on the provincial road.

"Is the village chief at home?"

"village head?!"

"Where is the village chief?"

Yu Yang didn’t find it in the village, so he went to a small Western-style building by the provincial road.

After shouting for a while and no one responded, I simply turned on the village loudspeaker.

"Hey Hey hey?"

"Village Chief, where have you been?"

"If you heard me, go home!"

On the provincial road.

Listening to the echoing shouts, the motorcycle went faster.

"go back?"

"Lao Liu will bury me when we get back!"
