Their tenant farmers only pay [-]%, only the black-hearted ones pay [-]%!

"Auntie, the potato yield is huge. Even if you get [-]% of the potato, it will still be enough to eat." You can't even finish it.

Shui Qing was unmoved, "Just because the output is large, even if they only have [-]%, it will be enough to eat, or even they can't finish it."

Bai Ziqian was confused. Why were these words the same as what he said? He even said what he didn't say!

He raised his head and asked in confusion: "Auntie, you can't even finish it. Why do you need so many potatoes?"

Unlike people in the village who eat potatoes as a staple food, Aunt Shuiqing's potatoes are only eaten as a side dish. They eat rice, white noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings and the like. Only the morning meal is millet porridge, corn porridge, and rice porridge. Whole grains such as corn flour and pancakes.

Even if there are 23 more people, if the ration of these 23 people for a year is potatoes, it will only be enough for ten acres of land.

As Aunt Shuiqing said, the villagers will have enough potatoes to plant next year, and it is impossible to exchange corn flour for potatoes. So why do they need so many potatoes?

Selling money? Less likely.

Aunt Shuiqing's rabbits, chickens, pigs and other livestock are not sold. These are meat and are much more expensive than grain. How can they sell potatoes, something that no one has ever seen or eaten before and it is difficult to sell them at a high price?

"Of course it is useful. Besides, who would complain about having too much food?" Shui Qing glanced at Bai Ziqian and felt that Bai Manshan and Li Huyu's education was very decent.

At least Bai Ziqian is not a mercenary person.

As for herself, she doesn't think she is a bad person. After all, without her or if she hid it, the people in the village would not have food like potatoes.

Or maybe she sold them at a high price at first, but seeing the amount of potatoes produced, many people would buy them even if they had to spend all their money.

She was sincere in helping the villagers in Shanshui Village, and she was also sincere in wanting to save them from hunger. Now that everyone is well fed, clothed and well-fed, it is not too much for her to plan for herself.

She needs a lot of potatoes to pave the way for the future - in troubled times, she must find a guarantee for herself and her family.

Potatoes are their stepping stone to success.

Bai Ziqian was confused for a while and felt that what Aunt Shui Qing said made sense.

Yes, who would hate too much food?

Then I thought that Aunt Shui Qing did not take advantage of the chaos to rob, nor did she hoard goods for herself. She just negotiated with the villagers of Shanshui Village to make it happen whether she wanted to or not. From this, it seems that Aunt Shui Qing is an upright person!

"Sure! I'll go with my aunt. By the way, aunt, why did you pick me?" Do you think he is the most astute among the children?

As Shui Qing walked towards Shanshui Village, he said casually: "Of course because you are from the Bai family, you are not a traitor or a businessman, so paying [-]% is very consistent with your personality, well, it is very consistent with everyone's perception of a businessman! "

Bai Ziqian held his breath and angrily decided to take back what he just said, 'Aunt Shui Qing is an upright person'!

He is not upright at all and has a dark heart. Just let him be the villain and let the Bai family take the blame.

"Auntie, after all, you still have to live in the village. Reputation is very important."

Bai Ziqian: ..... Wuwuwu, his reputation is no longer a reputation?

"I've thought of my words for you: Your family bought potato seeds, but they can't transport them all back, and my family's fields can't be used for planting. As a last resort, I have to give them the potato seeds and let them grow them for free. In this way, the potatoes can be grown for free." Their fields will not be wasted nor will they remain empty;

In return, you only need to hand over [-]% of the harvest. "

Bai Ziqian listened and found that this rhetoric was very familiar.

He obviously wants you to work, but why does he still sound like he cares for you? Isn't this what his father often says?

"Hmph, profiteer! There is no business without profiteers!"

"Then don't be a businessman. Oh, by the way, don't use the money earned by profiteers~"

"...My father is not a profiteer!"

"Who said just now that there is no businessman without treachery? Is your father a businessman? Does he feel guilty?"

The young man held his breath, blushed and remained silent.

Shui Qing: ...Young lady, you are still young. In her place, she would be able to tell lies with her eyes open without blushing or gasping for breath.

The two walked to the nearest Aunt Zhang's house.

Aunt Zhang's new home is on a flat open space next to a high slope. The three-room adobe tile-roofed house has an extremely spacious main house.

The kitchen, woodshed, and livestock pens on both sides also have tile roofs.

The poorest family in the village suddenly became one of the top ten.

As soon as Zhang Xiaocao saw Shui Qing, he hurriedly shouted into the kitchen: "Sister-in-law Shui Qing is here!" After shouting, he ran over quickly.

Now people in Shanshui Village will add "Shui Qing" in front of their title when they call her.

Just to distinguish yourself from others.

As soon as Aunt Zhang and Tongtie Mu Niu in the kitchen heard that Shui Qing was coming, they ran out very quickly carrying their rice bowls.

Aunt Zhang greeted: "Shui Qing, have you eaten?"

"Sister-in-law, my breakfast is pretty good now, would you like some?" Muniu asked naively.

Tong Niu and Iron Niu were older, so they wanted to ask but felt embarrassed.

Shui Qingluoluo said generously: "No, we came here after we had eaten. We have something to do now. You eat first and then talk about it after you finish."

Aunt Zhang was a little nervous when she heard that she was about to say something: "Hey, what's the matter? Can you just say it? If it's important, I'll put the bowl in the kitchen, and I'll eat it after we've agreed."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the kitchen.

Shui Qing quickly shouted: "It's not a big deal, just talk and eat at the same time!"

Aunt Zhang heard that it was not a big deal, so she turned around and came back.

Zhang Xiaocao had already moved into the room and moved two chairs with backrests, and shouted enthusiastically: "Sister-in-law, sit down, Mr. Bai, sit down."

Bai Ziqian was a little uncomfortable being shouted at, but he also knew that others were more uncomfortable than him.

The two sat down on the chairs. Opposite them, Aunt Zhang and the others sat down casually on the stone steps under the eaves with their rice bowls.

Shui Qing looked at Bai Ziqian, who took a few deep breaths and told him all the reasons Shui Qing had given him on the way.

The more he spoke, the redder his fair cheeks became.

Aunt Zhang and the others who were sitting on the stone steps under the eaves opposite had forgotten to pick up the food and their mouths were half open.

Bai Ziqian was uneasy and looked towards Shui Qing beside him.

Shui Qing took it: "It doesn't matter if you want to or not. It's purely voluntary. If you don't want us to go to the next one."

Aunt Zhang reacted from the shock, slapped her thigh and said in surprise: "This is not a coincidence!

Shui Qing, you are truly a noble person in our family! I was given a pillow if I felt sleepy. "

The water is clear, the clouds are foggy.

In the past, exchanging rice, buying charcoal for burning gold and silver cattle, and planting potatoes for them could barely be considered a noble person, but today, they can't be considered noble people, right?

Bai Ziqian was also confused.

"Didn't my brother-in-law Zhang Tuzi come here to make trouble before and ask me to provide food for the whole family? Later, the big guy caught him and wanted to beat him, so he didn't dare to come again.

Two days ago, he came to know that people in the village offered me corn noodles in exchange for potatoes. My family had a lot of corn noodles, but this time he did not dare to ask for it, but said to exchange. "
