Rebirth of the Evil Stepmother and the Four Villainous Children

In Dashan Village, after four or five days of drying, the rice is finally ready for sale. The merchants got the news from somewhere and came to Dashan Village by water.

But Zhou Rongrong would not sell it casually. Good seeds were the most important thing to the common people. The high yield of Dashan Village had long been known, and no one knew how many people were watching.

This good variety could be worth a fortune, so the village chief and Zhou Rongrong called everyone in the village to a meeting.

Even the little kids and Yang Tian were there, the villagers had no experience in doing business, so Uncle Zhou and Yang Tian could only listen to what Zhou Rongrong said.

Zhou Rongrong sat in front of a square table. In front of her were seeds that everyone had left behind, as well as seeds from their relatives.

After calculation, the total amount was 20,000 jin. If one dou was 35 jin, then each family would have to pay a lot of money. Zhou Rongrong had followed others to pay taxes before, and the taxes were all loaded in dou. She knew the reason behind this very well.

"We are selling fine seeds this time. We don't need to use a bucket to pack them. We will weigh them by kilograms. I have seen the bucket. A flat bucket is worth thirty-five kilograms. But if it is a little bit higher, it will be one or two kilograms more. In that case, we will suffer a loss. What do you think, we should just weigh it?"

The people below also knew this truth and expressed their agreement. Seeing that no one had any objections, Zhou Rongrong continued.

"Last year, when I sold high-quality seeds, it was also 150 wen per bushel. We are still selling them at this price now, and we won't raise the price. But think about it, we are selling so many, when you go to the store to buy them, will the price double? You can't even afford the seeds."

Uncle Zhou said, "That's not the truth. Everyone wants to grow good rice, but good rice is too expensive. It costs two or three hundred yuan. Our rice is so good, it's probably even more expensive."

Everyone was puzzled: "Isn't this good? Should we also raise the price?"

Now Dabao is considered the gentleman by most people in the village. Even though he is young, his words are effective. The little guy stood up and was as tall as a sitting person.

Dabao said: "No, our village cannot do this kind of thing. Rice seeds are too expensive. Only wealthy families like Mr. Zhang can afford them. Wouldn't families like Mr. Zhang become richer and richer?

My mother bought seeds to everyone at the cheapest price in the hope that everyone can achieve common prosperity, and also in the hope that the grain seeds can be promoted so that everyone can grow the best grain seeds, everyone can have enough food to eat, no one will go hungry, and no one will die?

We all work on the land to make a living. Dashan Village was the poorest village in Zhao County before, but now we can have enough food to eat. Don’t you think your relatives and acquaintances can also have enough food to eat? "

After learning to read and write for a period of time, and listening to what Dabao said, everyone understood some truths.

"That's right. We are all farmers. Don't raise the price. Besides, it's not a small amount. We have such good rice seeds because of Madam Zhou. Madam Zhou has the final say on how to sell it. If he doesn't listen, we won't bring him along when we do business in the future."

"Yes, Lao Li is right, that's the truth."

"That's right. We must make all the farmers in Da Zhou grow this kind of rice."

Zhou Rongrong raised her hand, and instantly everyone became quiet and listened to her.

"So, what I mean is the same as what the county magistrate means. We will not sell this crop to merchants. We will only buy it from farmers in Zhao County. The purchase is limited to 35 kilograms per person, no more. The buyer needs to bring a certificate issued by the village to prove that the person is from that village. The magistrate means that those who buy it need to register, and when it matures, the village chief of each village will report the yield."

This was discussed after two days. Firstly, they felt that this model could prevent grain seeds from being hyped up in the market. Secondly, it would have the most direct impact on the people. The amount that a person bought and the amount from that village would all have to be registered and clearly visible. The output would also need to be reported next year, so people would have to grow their own crops.

There will be no resale. If one family is very poor, several families can buy the rice together, take it home and plant it together. When it is ripe, won’t they have new rice seeds?

After all, people in the mountain village at that time didn’t think that the yield would be so high. The reason they were able to grow it was not because of their advanced farming skills, but because of the good seeds.

With seeds like these, if we plant them all next year, I’m afraid we’ll need to build a few more granaries.

When everyone heard this, they all thought that this method was feasible, except for a few who wanted to sell it at a high price and let Yang Tian sit there to take charge. This had already been discussed with the county magistrate, so what could they say?

Now that the decision had been made, Yang Tian wrote a notice on the spot and posted it on the simple dock of Dashan Village, and then asked the legal advisor beside him to copy it and distribute it to each village.

After the meeting, Zhou Rongrong took Yang Tian to the dock. There were more than twenty merchants gathered at the dock. They had thought they could collect seeds, but they found out that their trip was in vain after seeing the notice posted. Among them were Mr. Shi and people from the Zhao County Chamber of Commerce.

When I saw Zhou Rongrong coming, and Lord Yang was beside her, I naturally thought that Yang Tian had done it. What could I say? Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials.

No matter what you say, it won't work. The notice tells them that they are not selling it.

But since they were already here, they couldn't leave empty-handed. Zhou Rongrong gathered these people together to hold a meeting with the merchants, and asked someone to set up a pot in front of the dock.

I took out the potato starch that Uncle Zhou's family had prepared in advance and made a loofah and meat soup. There was also potato flour. In this place in the north, almost every household pickles sauerkraut.

First, soak the potato flour in hot water, cut the sauerkraut into thin strips, add a few thin slices of fish fillets, and then add chopped green onion, coriander, salt, dogwood and other seasonings to the bowl. A bowl of sauerkraut, fish fillet, potato flour and loofah meat soup is served.

I originally thought about setting up a stall in the town first, but I didn’t expect so many people to come, so of course I had to start promoting it.

Each person was given a pair of chopsticks to share the soup. There were a few tender green onions floating on the loofah and pork soup. It was refreshing and delicious. The loofah was refreshing, and the pork was even more tender. It was a taste they had never tasted before.

There is also the sour and spicy taste of the potato flour after adding dogwood, and the delicious fish fillet is boiled in that bowl and is extremely tender.

There were not many dishes, and each person finished them with just one chopstick. Even the soup was finished, Zhou Rongrong said with a smile.

"Since everyone is here, we can't let you go back empty-handed. The food you eat is exclusive to Dashan Village. You can't buy it anywhere else. What do you think?"

Master Shi wiped his mouth and savored it: "Delicious, delicious, really good, Boss Zhou, I have never eaten this anywhere else."

Everyone present here is a business man. They have traveled a lot and eaten a lot of different foods, but this is the first time they have eaten such food.

Anyone who does business knows what sells best. It's rare things. The rarer, the better.

They all asked, "Boss Zhou, are you selling this too?"

Zhou Rongrong said: "Don't worry, this will definitely be sold, but it will take a month, and I will write down the recipes. For example, this starch can be used to tenderize meat. Pork marinated with it is very tender. This powder can be eaten in more ways than just this one. There are many more.

Since everyone is here, I will tell you the price. One pound of starch is six cents, and one pound of flour, which is roughly a bundle, is enough for 3-4 people, and one pound is ten cents. My business prices are open and fair, and there is no need for everyone to guess each other’s bottom line.”
