After Zhao Lan returned home, she grabbed some candies that her eldest uncle bought last time and gave one to each of the children to play with.

Since the wall was built in the village, they no longer worry about the children playing outside. In the past, they would have worried about the children running away, being injured by wild animals on the mountain, or playing in rivers and lakes. With the wall, There are people guarding the front and back doors, so you can only play in the village, which is very peaceful.

The children were very happy when they got the candy balls and jumped around to find their playmates.

When I walked out of the courtyard, I found that children from almost every household had come out. Children were running around and playing on the dirt roads in the village.

After watching all the children leave, Zhao Lan closed the courtyard door, turned around and went into the house to face the family and asked excitedly: "Dad, elder brother and sister-in-law, do you know what the medicinal materials are?"

"It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it makes money."

"Besides, Shuiqing didn't say that if we want to plant, we should go get the seeds from her, but she doesn't have much planting experience. If you are worried, you can wait until next year to plant. Didn't our family agree to plant next year?"

The main reason is that their family is too busy this year. After planting potatoes, they have to plant winter wheat. After the winter wheat is planted, they have to build pig pens to raise piglets, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and pigs. There are only six laborers in the fields and at home. There is really no manpower available to plant medicinal herbs that have never been planted and have no idea of ​​the harvest.

"Food and livestock are so important. You can't throw away these two things. When these potatoes are harvested, we will make more potato flour and store it. At least we will have food for several years. After the winter wheat is harvested, we can sell it for money, and the land will not be wasted. fine."

Don't panic even if you don't find any medicinal materials, at least you will have something to eat and your stomach will be full.

The old village chief listened quietly to the discussion of his son and wife, and was in no hurry to speak.

Zhao Lan sweated on his forehead in a hurry, uttered an ouch, and spoke in a louder voice, then hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "If you know what medicinal materials are, you will never think of growing winter wheat and selling it for money!"

Rice and wheat are refined grains, and they are reluctant to eat what they grow at home. They keep some for their eldest nephew who is studying, and sell the rest in exchange for some corn flour and grind the corn in the field into powder, which is enough for the whole family. have eaten.

This is the only food in the village.

Their family has many fields, and the family members are diligent in taking care of them. They have one season of rice and one season of winter wheat. Through intensive cultivation, one acre of land can produce a harvest of nearly one tael of silver a year. This harvest is considered to be good in the entire Guangning Prefecture.

But the harvest of one tael per acre of land is not enough for Polygonum multiflorum.

How to compare? There's no comparison at all!

Wang Guifen smiled and said: "I'm so anxious, but you can tell me what kind of medicinal materials it is. Is it worth your excitement?"

"Yeah, stop being so secretive, tell me now and listen."

Zhang Hui joked: "I want to see how valuable this medicinal material is. It can make you so excited that you are willing to give candy to the children."

"We have the income of rabbits, and we have seen the world. How can you still be so excited?" Li Qiang looked at his wife and shook his head helplessly.

Zhao Lan rolled her eyes at the master, ignored him, and said to her father-in-law: "It's Polygonum multiflorum!"

As soon as the words came out, there was a gasp in the room.

Then listen to the wow sound.

"Polygonum multiflorum?"

"you sure?"

"How is that possible? Did I hear that right?"

Brother Li Wensan's mouth was half open, and he didn't react for a while.

"Oh my god, it turned out to be Polygonum multiflorum! I didn't expect it to be Polygonum multiflorum." Wang Guifen expressed the feelings of those present.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Polygonum multiflorum to be found, but then I thought about it, didn't my father dig it up when he was young? This shows that our place is suitable for Polygonum multiflorum to grow." Zhao Lan is very satisfied with the current atmosphere.

She was not the only one excited anymore, they were even more excited than she was!

Hahaha, after all, she spent a whole day digesting.

The old village chief thought of the Polygonum multiflorum he dug when he was young. Why didn't he think of collecting seeds to plant them? If the planting is successful, will every household in Shanshui Village become rich...

The shock on Li Qiang's face had not subsided, and he quickly asked: "What are the other two? Can they still be planted?"

Zhao Lan raised her chin and spoke carefully: "Yam cannot be planted until next spring, and tangerine peel requires saplings, but Polygonum multiflorum can be planted in autumn, and we can still catch up. Shui Qing said that we can go to her to get the seeds. But she doesn’t guarantee a harvest. Each household can make up its own mind and do whatever it wants.”

Finally, he asked: “Does our family grow crops?”

"Grow! Of course!"

“If you don’t have experience this year, won’t you have experience next year?”

"A short-lived Polygonum multiflorum plant costs several hundred yuan. As long as we plant two plants per acre of land, we can maintain our capital. If we plant more than ten or dozens of plants, it won't work anymore. I'm dizzy!" I said earlier that my daughter-in-law is missing. Li Qiang, who had never seen the world before, just felt like he was being slapped in the face.

He is the one who has never seen the world.

Why is it that every time he feels that he is well-informed, Fan Jin and Shuiqing are able to break his cognition again!

In a cheerful atmosphere, Zhang Hui timidly raised her hand and asked: "What kind of place are we in? Do we still have the manpower to plant it?"

The scene was quiet for a moment, and he began to think about this issue.

The old village chief came to his senses and made a decision: "We won't plant winter wheat anymore. The few acres of land will be used to plant Polygonum multiflorum. The energy used to grow winter wheat will be used to plant Polygonum multiflorum. When we have more seeds next year and know how to plant them, we can plant them again." Expand to the mountains.”

With so many families in the village, it is impossible for them to be the only ones planting. Each family will not receive too many seeds, so they have to plant them carefully.

If it does not germinate on the mountain, the seeds are wasted.

None of the six people agreed at all.

Even if you get nothing, it's okay. It's just a loss of winter wheat. It's worth it for the Polygonum multiflorum.

When Zhang Xiaocao returned, her mother was the first to agree!

"Mom told you that if we are not smart, we have to follow the footsteps of smart people. Think about it, if we follow Shui Qing, will our lives get better and better?"

Gold, silver, copper, iron and wood cow nodded heavily.

"We can't imitate those short-sighted people who are too lazy to be picky and picky, and end up making sarcastic remarks about others."

Gold, silver, copper, iron and wood cows continued to nod heavily.

My second uncle’s family is that.

"A few families in the village followed Shuiqing to plant potatoes, and we followed. You see, our family is one of the few in the village who don't have to worry about food rations due to flooding this year;

We started raising rabbits, and we kept raising more rabbits. Every time we sold rabbits, our family always made the most money;

Not to mention that the money you earned from selling charcoal at the end of last year is still enough for us to build this house. Our family also has money savings.

So I must follow this time! Although our family has no fields and potatoes are grown on the land, we can still open up wasteland. Mom, I will go to open up wasteland these days. When you build the herbal medicine shop and the bookstore, hurry up and follow! "

"it is good!"
