Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

"Those villagers were personally arranged by His Royal Highness Prince Liang. You must not be too rude to them."

When the villagers heard what Village Chief Chen said, they immediately thought of the incident when Prince Liang’s Mansion sent a carriage to pick up Zeng Zhengen to go to the city.

"I remember now that someone from Prince Liang's Mansion seemed to have sent a carriage to pick up Miss Zeng to go to Prince Liang's Mansion!" a villager said in a low voice.

The rest of the villagers didn't dare to speak anymore.

However, Village Chief Chen's wife was somewhat unwilling.

"Then what should we do? We all live in the same village, we can't just sit there and watch others grow potatoes!"

"That's right! Village chief, why don't we go and talk to Miss Zeng to see if we can buy some seeds from them." A villager immediately suggested.

This villager's proposal was quickly recognized by other villagers.

After hearing the villagers' proposal, Village Chief Chen was somewhat tempted, but when he thought about the fact that they had offended Zeng Zhengen because of Wang Zhang's matter, Village Chief Chen became hesitant again.

Here, Village Chief Chen was discussing the matter of potato seeds with the villagers, while on the other side, Pan Yang had already arrived at Zeng Zhengen's house.

Zeng Zhengen had just finished tidying up the yard when he saw Pan Yang coming in in a hurry.

"Uncle Pan, what happened?"

Although Pan Yang is no longer the village chief, Zeng Zhengen is still used to calling him Uncle Pan.

When Pan Yang saw and heard Zeng Zhengen's question, he told him that Village Chief Chen had asked him for potato seeds.

Zeng Zhengen didn't feel surprised after hearing what Pan Yang said.

When she first planted potatoes, she thought that after the potatoes were harvested, the villagers of Fulai Village would definitely be jealous.

After all, it is ancient times now, and planting techniques are very backward. The grain yield is not like in later generations, where one acre of rice can yield nearly a thousand kilograms of rice.

In ancient times, planting technology was backward, and there was no hybrid rice like later generations. One acre of rice could only produce two or three hundred kilograms of rice at most.

Nowadays, they can harvest more than 400 kilograms of potatoes per acre, which is much higher than the yield of rice.

Moreover, this is because they are planting on newly reclaimed land. If they were to plant on fertile land, the yield would definitely be higher.

It is understandable that the villagers of Fulai Village would be jealous. After all, food is the life of farmers.

After Pan Yang finished speaking, Zeng Zhengen did not show any sign of anxiety.

"Girl Zeng, do you have any idea?" Pan Yang asked Zeng Zhengen with hope.

Zeng Zhengen shook his head before speaking.

"It's not impossible for them to want potato seeds, as long as they exchange them for silver. If they can't afford silver, then they can exchange them for grain."

They had just settled down here and were short of money and food. It would be great if they could exchange potatoes for some money or food.

After listening to Zeng Zhengen's words, Pan Yang suddenly understood.

Yes! Why didn't he think of this!

Pan Yang slapped his forehead in annoyance, and then said with regret.

"But Zeng girl, I told Village Chief Chen before that we don't have many potato seeds. If I had known, I wouldn't have said that."

Isn't this just pushing away the silver and food that are about to be obtained?

Zeng Zhengen chuckled and soothed him, "Uncle Pan, don't worry, they won't give up just like that. They will definitely come to us again. When the time comes, just answer them as I said just now."

The potato yield is so high, the villagers of Fulai Village will definitely not give up just like that.

Seeing Zeng Zhengen so confident, Pan Yang felt a lot more at ease.

After that, Pan Yang talked with Zeng Zhengen about some other things. Just when Pan Yang was about to leave, someone knocked on the gate of Zeng Zhengen's house.

Without waiting for Zeng Zhengen to speak, Zhang Jiajun walked out of the house and opened the gate.

As soon as the gate opened, Village Chief Chen and a group of villagers from Fulai Village appeared in front of Zhang Jiajun.

When Village Chief Chen saw that it was Zhang Jiajun who opened the door, he did not treat him badly just because he was a child.

Village Chief Chen asked Zhao Dongsheng in a very gentle tone.

"I wonder if Miss Zeng is at home?"

Zhang Jiajun nodded, then shouted to Zeng Zhengen in the room.

After hearing his son's voice, Zeng Zhengen got up and went to the yard, where he saw Village Chief Chen and the villagers of Fulai Village were all there.

Although he already had some guesses in his heart, Zeng Zhengen still pretended to know nothing and asked.

"I wonder what Village Chief Chen wants to talk about?"

Village Chief Chen coughed lightly, then spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"Ms. Zeng, we came to you today to discuss something important. Do you have time?"

Village chief Chen's attitude can be described as very humble.

The villagers from Fulai Village behind Village Chief Chen also echoed him in a very humble manner.

"That's right. We came here today to discuss something important with you, Miss Zeng."

Seeing that their attitude was quite good, Zeng Zhengen softened his tone a lot.

"If you have something to discuss, let's go inside and talk about it!"

After Zeng Zhengen finished speaking, he walked into the house first. Seeing this, Village Chief Chen hurriedly followed him, and the other villagers also followed him in.

After a group of people came in, the originally empty yard suddenly became crowded.

As soon as Village Chief Chen entered the yard, he saw Pan Yang sitting next to him. For a moment, Village Chief Chen felt a little embarrassed.

Zeng Zhengen looked at Village Chief Chen, who had not spoken a word since he came in, and asked immediately.

"I wonder what Village Chief Chen wants to discuss with me?"

After Zeng Zhengen asked this, Village Chief Chen immediately came to his senses.

"Ms. Zeng, it's like this. We saw that your potato yield is good, so we came here today to ask you if you can sell us some potato seeds. After all, we all live in the same village, so we'll see each other every day."

Village chief Chen said a lot of good things, but he was afraid that Zeng Zhengen would not agree.

The rest of the villagers followed the lead of Village Chief Chen and echoed him.

"That's right, Miss Zeng, we are willing to spend money to buy some potato seeds from you. Please sell some seeds to us, Miss Zeng. We will definitely be grateful for your kindness."

The villagers had already lowered their attitude so much that Zeng Zhengen naturally would not make things difficult for them. Besides, Zeng Zhengen had originally planned to sell some seeds to these villagers.

Now that these villagers have offered to spend money to buy the seeds, this is naturally the best thing.

"Sure, it's not impossible for me to sell some potato seeds to you." Zeng Zhengen agreed very readily.

Village chief Chen and the villagers looked at Zeng Zhengen in disbelief.
