In the end, it was the village chief who spoke first, "Brother Su, I heard that in the past two days, you have sent someone to go up the mountain to pick young shoots, and then fry them into tea and sell them to the tea houses in the town. There is nothing wrong with that."

Su Qing wanted to curl her lips, and asked if she knew it, but she still said respectfully: "Yes, village chief, just drink what you just had. I saw that those sprouts on the mountain were not wanted, so I wanted to fry them and bring them here. I made tea and drank it. I didn’t expect that the taste was okay. I thought there was a tea house in the town. I went to ask if they would accept it. I didn’t expect the boss to be nice. He accepted it when I was young, and asked me to fry more point.

Let Fang Amu and the others help to pick some, and they can’t ask for nothing, so they gave some wages. I didn’t expect that there were quite a lot of people who went, and I didn’t want to accept it. After all, I am still young, so I can’t come here alone. But everyone sent them home, if they didn't accept them, wouldn't their work be in vain?I just thought, it’s not easy for everyone, anyway, it’s just a matter of these few days, so let’s be tired, and I can help some of the people in the village and accept the young shoots they picked, so I don’t have to go up the mountain every day , Second, it can help the villagers earn more money. "

Su Qing didn't say that it was for making money.

The village head is a native of Dongtou Village, and the brother he married was his childhood sweetheart.A person who can become the village head is of course capable, but after so many years, no one thought that those young shoots on the mountain could produce such precious tea, and this little brother in front of him is really an eye-opener.

When he came here more than half a month ago, he knew clearly that the other party was an idiot. Although he came here to recuperate from illness, he bought the house of his eldest son's house with his own hands.Unexpectedly, not only is the disease cured now, but also the method of frying tea with young shoots, as well as the bracken and bamboo shoots.For many years, the ancestors of Dongtou Village have never known that these things are edible, and they are used to make tea and drink.

However, as the head of a village, he still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart. In Dongtou Village, who doesn't give him face.If there is anything you don't want to discuss with yourself first.

Brother Su, after all, is young and inexperienced, otherwise he will always suffer a bit.

"Brother Su, I know that you have done a good deed for the village. Although the young shoots grow on the mountain, anyone can pick them, but they are still the property of Dongtou Village. If you don't discuss with the village like this, it will be a shame. There will definitely be something to say in the clan. Have you ever thought about it?"

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, several other clan elders also echoed, saying that Su Qing didn't understand the rules or something.

After hearing what the village chief said, Su Qing thought, this is the truth, people are like this.Although it is said that there is no one to be recruited on the mountain every year, once someone makes money because of this, some people will still be jealous, and they can't see others taking advantage of it.

So I asked the village head sincerely, "Uncle villager, you also know that I just came to Dongtou village. I will have to support myself in the future, and this tea can only be picked for a few days, and it will not be usable in the future.”

"Originally Fang Amu was worried when he saw that I was a child going up the mountain, so he asked his child Shitou to pick some for me. Unexpectedly, the owner of the teahouse in the town took care of me when he saw that I was in Dongtou Village and gave me a good price. I thought So, anyway, Fang Amu and the others are at home, so I promised them to give them the copper coins and let them pick them for me, but I didn’t expect so many people to go, I didn’t think carefully.”

The village chief saw that what Su Qing said was true, and he was afraid that Su Qing would not accept the tender shoots. Now many people go up the mountain to pick tender shoots. People don't agree. Why do others make money but they don't have it? Isn't that a disadvantage? Since it is something in the village, they also have a share.He also came here after hearing several people complaining to him, so he told Su Qing some rumors.

"But I didn't say I wouldn't accept their buds. As long as you pick them, I'll give you the same money. The village chief also said that this is something from the village, and anyone can pick it. Don't those people still think hard? Just take the money?"

Although Su Qing was a little angry, she still said to the village chief after thinking about it: "Otherwise, I will give five taels of silver to the village, even if it is used to buy young shoots on the mountain, you know, no one wanted it before." Yes. If it doesn’t work, there’s nothing I can do about it. At worst, I won’t accept other people’s. I’ll go up the mountain to pick them slowly, and others will have nothing to say.”

The village chief was of course very happy when he heard that there were five taels of silver to take. This would not only silence the mouths of some villagers, but also not make the villagers lose one item of income. It couldn't be better.

So he said happily: "That's fine, if someone mentions it at that time, I won't make it difficult."

Seeing that the village chief agreed, Su Qing felt a little bit pained by the five taels of silver, but it would be better to spend some money and buy it for peace of mind.

I gave a little to each of the several people. This is five taels of silver per catty, but it is unreasonable not to give it.He took another five taels of silver to the village chief.Those people happily took the tea leaves and left.On the other hand, Si'er, who was standing aside, had red eyes. Su Qing asked him what's the matter. Si'er sniffled and said, "They went too far. They not only took Su Ge'er's tea, but also took away so much money. That's a lot of money. Five taels of silver, Brother Su has worked so hard, I didn’t see you stir-frying tea, you can’t even lift your arms, and you still stir-fry all night.”

Seeing that Si'er in front of her was arguing for herself, feeling sorry for herself, she was moved and hugged Si'er tightly, which actually made Si'er blush.

The two also ate some food while they were free, and people would come back one after another after a while.When it was dark, almost all the people came back. Su Qing brought the notebook with the names and weights of the people, and called them one by one.

Someone asked Su Qing if he could read and write. Su Qing shook his head and blushed and said that he just made a mark to avoid misremembering.The originally bustling doorway also slowly quieted down.

Su Qing asked Si'er to go to sleep for a while, first asked the stone to help light the fire, and then called Si'er up when it was about the same time.

After four busy days, the tea leaves on the mountain were almost gone. Although the people in Dongtou Village were a little regretful that they finished picking them so quickly, they were still very happy. In just a few days, they earned one or two dollars more than usual There are still more months, how can you not be happy.

Su Qing sold all the tea leaves to Mingxuan Tea House, and got 530 taels of silver, which made Su Qing very happy. Originally, people wanted to give silver bills, but Su Qing thought silver was better, so the shopkeeper Wang gave ten 50 taels without saying anything. The big silver ingots, the remaining three ten taels and three taels of broken silver.Afraid that the road would be unsafe, he even sent one or two carriages to take Su Qing back to the village, making the Shitou who went with him very happy. This was his first time riding a carriage.

Taking advantage of the carriage, Su Qing also bought a lot of food in the town.After returning, I also divided a lot of stones to take home.Then I looked for places to hide the ingots in the house, but I always felt that it was not safe to hide anywhere. Finally, I dug a hole under the bed and buried ten ingots in a clay pot.

With the end of tea picking, busy farming begins.People in the village are busy cutting wheat and rapeseed, and then start plowing and planting rice.

Su Qing also has two acres of paddy fields, which are now planted with wheat, and two acres of dry land in the depression opposite Pingshanao, but Su Qing has never visited it, and of course he doesn't know what is being planted now.

Su Qing didn't find a sickle, Daddy Fang and his family wanted to cut it themselves, so they took the woodcutter from the kitchen and went to the field to cut it slowly by themselves. He and his brother Zhuzi came to help, and the two acres of wheat were quickly finished.

To be honest, Su Qing prefers to grow rapeseed and eat it with oil.He was a southerner in his previous life, and he didn't like to eat noodles. He would eat it occasionally for a change of taste. He would rather eat white rice.

Fang Amu's family only has two acres of paddy fields, and rented three acres of paddy fields, and five acres of dry land. However, except for Shitou and Si'er, the rest of their family are strong laborers, and they finished the work within two days.

People with cattle started to plow the fields, and those without cattle had to dig the fields with hoes. Daddy Fang’s family didn’t have cattle either, but they had a large family and they were used to it.

Su Qing also wondered why they didn't grow seedlings, but sprinkled the seeds directly.In this case, isn't it a waste of grain?

Su Qing remembered that when she helped her mother farm the fields in her previous life, she raised the seedlings first, and then pulled out the seedlings and planted them.

With doubts, he asked Daddy Fang, but Daddy Fang was still confused, saying that they have always been like this, and that's how their elders taught them.

Su Qing thought that sowing seeds directly would not be as good as transplanting rice seedlings, but that was the result of many experiments, so Su Qing was not in a hurry to sow seeds, but took all the manure and plant ash at home to fertilize in the field.

After Daddy Fang's own house is finished, let him help him to separate a small piece of the two-acre field. He wants to raise the seedlings first. Originally, the seedlings should be cultivated earlier, and they can be planted directly after the wheat and rapeseed are harvested. But Su Qing was busy frying tea and didn't pay attention to these.

Soak the bought rice seeds in warm water at home first, wait until the white tooth roots grow, and then scatter them in the prepared field ridges. Although it is a few days later than other people’s, the seedlings of his family are good and grow well. It's fast, and the fat here is also thick.

At first, some people didn't understand why Su Qing only planted a little bit, leaving the rest empty, but no one came to ask him.After all, they are not very familiar.

Daddy Fang asked why he did this, and Su Qing said that he wanted to do an experiment to see if this kind of planting would be better. If successful, it would not only increase the yield, but also save a lot of rice seeds.

Daddy Fang really wanted to tell him that this would not work, how many years he had been planting rice, and his father, and many ordinary people in the village who did not sow seeds like this.

However, he stopped himself from continuing to persuade him. Although Su Geer is not very old, he has a good brain and there are many strange things. Aren't the tea leaves, bracken and bamboo shoots all good things? It's not certain that others will be successful, but sometimes your own family can also get benefits, right?

If this does not work, there is still time to remedy it.So when the seedlings of Su Qing's family were lush and lush, the seedlings of other people's houses were still malnourished.

Everyone in the village is envious of them, and thinks that Su Geer is also a good farmer, but if there is only a little field in his house, and he is crowded, he may not have much yield.

Just when the villagers were worried and gloated, Su Qing asked Daddy Fang and the others to help pull out the seedlings and plant them in another large field. Many people in the village came to watch the excitement, and some people who had picked tea leaves returned Jump off the paddy field and ask Su Qing to teach them how to insert.

Su Qing also taught them one by one. These are veterans of farming. Su Qing taught them seriously, and they also studied hard. They quickly planted so fast and well that even Su Qing felt inferior.

With the help of those people, two acres of paddy fields were planted in one morning. In order to thank everyone, Su Qing invited a few people to eat at home, but those people didn't go, because they all had selfish intentions.

They all think that Su Qing is a very smart person, and they can't go wrong with making friends with him.

He not only taught everyone to know two kinds of food, but also made everyone earn money. They felt that the yield of farming might be higher in this way. There will be a little more, and everyone will be able to eat a little more.
