Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

On the third day after the year, Zhang He went to Heishui Town again to sell sweet potatoes and sweet potato leaves.

Now almost all of his boiled sweet potatoes have been contracted by the rice shopkeeper.

He heard that Shopkeeper Mi collected sweet potatoes, and most of them were sold in Dehua County, where they were sold at a higher price. After all, there are many rich people there, and sweet potatoes are a new thing.

Dehua County is 60 to 70 miles away from Heishui Town, and it takes a whole day to drive hard, which can be exhausting.

The father and son have never been to Dehua County, and it is not practical to sell rice shopkeepers by themselves.

After the two settled their accounts today, Zhang Hehe didn't leave immediately, he hesitated for a while before saying:

Brother Mi, I have something I want to ask you for your help.

What's the matter, come and listen to me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best.

During this period of time, Shopkeeper Mi has made a lot of money by reselling sweet potatoes. If it's a small favor, he doesn't mind doing it.

It's like this, I have saved some money now, and I want to buy a piece of land, but there is no way.

Brother Mi, you are from the Wan family, can you please help me find out?

The land around Heishui Town belongs to Wanjia, even if it looks like a barren hill full of weeds, it belongs to Wanjia.

Therefore, the nearby hunters went to the mountains to hunt, the woodcutters collected firewood, and the fishermen went fishing, all of which had to pay taxes to Wanjia.

Of course, there are very few people among them who own one-third of an acre of land, but these people regard the land as more important than their lives. It is a family inheritance and they are unwilling to sell it.

Therefore, if he wants to own a piece of land to stand on, he can only ask Wanjia to buy it, so that he has a chance.

This matter may be a bit difficult. After all, no matter how wide the land in your hand is, no one will think too much. Even if there is long grass lying there, it is your own land!

Zhang He took out a sling of copper coins of 100 Wen prepared in advance and stuffed it into the hands of the rice shopkeeper.

I just knew that this matter was difficult, so I found Brother Mi. Except for you, no one else has this ability.

Both copper coins and flattery were presented, which made shopkeeper Mi very useful and comfortable.

Okay, just because of the friendship with Brother Zhang, I will definitely inquire for you, just wait for my news.

The shopkeeper Mi is also a trustworthy person, and he started to inquire about buying land from Wanjiazhuang that day.

In a hall of Wanjiazhuang, the Second Young Master sat at the head, holding a charming concubine in his arms.

At the bottom stood the fourth butler with a flattering smile, reporting the news to him.

You mean that kid in Zhangjialing who has a fairy fate wants to buy land?

That's right, he asked someone to inquire about it yesterday.

Hearing this, the second young master grabbed a large piece of soft flesh and kneaded it vigorously, lost in thought.

The charming concubine who was leaning on him was so painful that tears rolled down her cheeks, but she didn't dare to make any movement so as not to disturb the second young master's thinking.

After a while, the second son had already made a decision.

Of course you can't sell the familiar land to him, but you can sell him a piece of wasteland, but I don't know if he dares to take it?

Help me spread the word, I can sell the wasteland of Qifeng Mountain to him, as for the price, I will charge him 100 guan.

what?

The fourth housekeeper couldn't hold back, and let out an exclamation.

What, you want to buy that land?

No, no, I still have the energy to reclaim the wasteland.

The fourth steward quickly refused, because Qifeng Mountain is located in a remote place, twenty or thirty miles away from Heishui Town.

That area has been deserted for many years, and the water source is not very good. Even if it is reclaimed, it can only grow some drought-resistant crops, and there will not be much harvest.

Most importantly, he knew that there was a wave of bandits entrenched around there.

There are bandits on his own territory, Wanjiazhuang is naturally not happy, the previous owner even organized a team of servants to suppress the bandits.

But this group of bandits was also extremely slippery. They hid in the mountains and played hide-and-seek with them. The bandits didn't kill a few, but lost a horse and three servants.

Okay, let's go down!

The Second Young Master's move naturally has his intentions. There may be an immortal master behind Zhang He, but he is not sure about it, so this time he can use it to test it out.

His Wan family didn't dare to provoke an immortal teacher at will, but these bandits don't have so many scruples.

Ergong looked at the back of the fourth housekeeper leaving, and a sneer could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

The concubine in his arms saw that the second young master was busy with business, she quietly wiped away the remaining tears on her face, and continued to put on a soft and lovely look.

Let's say that after the fourth housekeeper went down, he went directly to the shopkeeper of the rice store and told him that the Qifeng Mountain wasteland could be sold for 120 guan.

The next day, Zhang He sent another load of sweet potatoes to the rice shopkeeper.

Brother Zhang, congratulations!

After much effort, I finally found out for you that there is a mountain named Qifeng Mountain twenty or thirty miles away.

Now this Ruo Da barren mountain can be sold to you for only 150 guan. From then on, Brother Zhang will have his own foundation.

Zhang He was also stunned by this sudden surprise, not knowing what to do.

He originally thought that it would be good to buy ten acres of land, but he didn't expect Wan's family to be so generous as to sell him a mountain at a time.

It's just that the sweet potatoes he's sold for so long cost only a dozen dollars, not even a fraction.

Now there are nearly 100,000 catties of sweet potatoes accumulated in the space. If they are all sold at the current price, they can earn hundreds of dollars.

But it is impossible to sell them all at once. Now because he has been controlling the sales volume, he can sell them at a high price of five cents a catty.

Rare things are expensive, if he sells them in large quantities, the price will drop soon.

You must know that the same five yuan a catty of corn is a dry product, and at least half of the boiled sweet potato is water, so it is very expensive to calculate.

In addition, there is a large pile of dried sweet potato vines in the space. According to preliminary estimates, it should be able to sell for a few dollars.

Can I go and have a look?

Zhang He felt that for such a big deal, he should at least take a look first before making a decision.

Of course this is no problem. I can help you invite two servants from the Wan family to accompany you.

So, the two agreed that two days later, Zhang He would come to Heishui Town to meet with his family, and then go to Qifeng Mountain together.

After coming out of the rice shop, Zhang He found the two fat tiger brothers in a shack outside Heishui Town.

The two brothers helped Zhang He inform Zhang He in time last time, which helped Zhang He a lot.

Afterwards, Zhang He gave them 100 catties of boiled sweet potatoes, plus a load of dried sweet potato vines, which was enough for the two of them to eat for two or three months.

Big brother, what's the matter?

Fat Tiger held a deliciously roasted sweet potato in his hand, eating it deliciously.

I still have a lot of dried sweet potato vines that I want to sell. I don't have time myself recently. I wonder if you are free to sell them for me?

Fat Tiger looked back at Ma Gan, then nodded and said:

Of course I'm free, we just happen to be free right now.

Okay, then I'll give you all the sweet potato vines, and I'll give you five cents for every load you sell.

Okay, thank you big brother!

Fat Tiger was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Although it has become warmer now, the snow has not yet melted, and this year's wild vegetables have not yet sprouted, but many people have already started to run out of food at home.

Cheap and satisfying dried vegetables like sweet potato vines are still very popular and can be sold easily.
