The lotus root has always been a foreign variety to the people of Buffalo Town. They have only bought it in the vegetable market, and have never seen them grow it. This year, Niuwangzhuang planted a batch of lotus roots with nine holes, selling lotus seeds and lotus seeds. Ye You sells lotus root, which makes many local people jealous.

Niuwangzhuang has produced a lot of good things before, but some of these things are too expensive and risky, so people in the town dare not follow suit easily, and some of them are because they are too ordinary, such as the watermelons in Niuwangzhuang. There are too many people planting, no matter how others plant, they will not be able to plant at the level of Niuwangzhuang.

This time the lotus root is different, the lotus root is considered a new thing here, and even if they can't grow the level of Niuwangzhuang, as long as they can grow the level of the lotus roots from other places in the vegetable market, wouldn't it be enough?In their vegetable market, a catty of lotus root costs several yuan, which is not cheap at all.

The lotus roots of Niuwangzhuang have grown well this year. If anyone can use their lotus seeds next year, it will definitely be better than the lotus seeds bought from outside. Talk to Romon about it.

Romon probably could have predicted this situation, but he has been busy with the five certificates recently, and the house in the town is about to start construction, and it is both design and payment, and these things are enough for him to spend some time. For the time being, I didn't think deeply about the lotus root.

Although Hu Qunfeng signed the "Cooperative Development Agreement" with Luo Meng and promised to help Luo Meng develop his piece of land, but some specific matters still need to be decided by Luo Meng himself, especially the construction payment. At the beginning of the year, it was not easy to ask others to advance such a large amount of money for you, not to mention that Hu Qunfeng himself was preparing to develop a community, and it was time to spend money.

These days, Luo Meng is either following Hu Qunfeng to run the five certificates, or supervising those people on the mountain to help him make money. Their sour wild is selling well, and the stalls open after two o'clock in the afternoon every day.

The stall was placed on the side of the road in front of their store, and there was a small room behind the store, which used to be the original owner's kitchen, and now it is specially used to stock up. If the front is sold out, you can go to the back to pick it up and sell it until you eat. The dinner time is finished, and sometimes there are many customers, so they are not in a hurry to close the stall, and they often have to sell until the end of the month.

"Why is Zheng Bolun's beard growing again?" After lunch that day, Luo Meng went to Niuwangzhuang to check on the progress of various aspects of work as usual, and accidentally discovered that Zheng Bolun, who had just shaved his face a few days ago, had grown a beard again stubble.

A few days ago, in order to get him to shave, Luo Meng took some effort. He gave Hou Fatty and others two pigeon eggs, and brought out a basket of their precious oranges that were about to be out of season. The uncle's beard was shaved, Zheng Bolun's face showed, and he was not disappointed. He felt that his oranges and pigeon eggs were well spent, so why are they saving up again now?

"He said that he was not used to having a beard, as if he had no clothes on." Fatty Hou didn't care whether Zheng Bolun had a beard or not, and he had better give himself a few oranges and pigeon eggs when Lao Zhou came, so that they could give it to him again. He does a job once.

"I've already taken it off, so why put it on again? Don't you get used to it?" How nice it is to not have a beard!Every time it was Zheng Bolun's turn to set up a stall, the income was much higher than usual, Lin Kuo and Liu Ruhua did not earn as much as him.

"Don't worry, I don't plan to grow a big beard this time, just grow some stubble." Chen Jianhua said.

"Stubble, let's be stubble." Lao Zhou thought for a while and compromised. Since he is not used to not wearing clothes, he should leave him a pair of underpants anyway.When it comes to making money, you still have to take a long-term view. If you really want to push people into a hurry, be careful when the time comes.

I talked to Chen Jianhua about the specific arrangements for various tasks at Niuwang Village during the recent period, and then went to Lin Chunyu to learn about the financial situation of the past two days, and then talked with Tang Yuan for a while.

This Tang Yuan has been in Niuwangzhuang for a while, and as she said, she didn't eat duck eggs, and she even helped out with Xiao Shulin's container.It’s just that the orders she picked up by herself are still small orders, because the goods are still floating in the sea and have not reached the customer’s hands. It is hard to say whether there will be a return order in the future. If there is a return order, The probability of a large order will be higher.

"Not bad, work hard." Luo Meng patted her on the shoulder. This girl is definitely a hard worker, and she belongs to the type who can eat and work. Although it is mental work, she eats no less than men who work in the fields. According to her own words, she belongs to the type whose brain can only be opened when there is sufficient energy.

"These ten pairs of slippers will be delivered to her by FedEx in the next two days." Tang Yuan, despite the time difference, chatted with a female client on the other side of the ocean until one o'clock in the morning. Finally, the other party ordered these ten pairs of slippers from her. She recorded her smallest order record during this period.

"You go to the next room to pack your bags in a while, and write a note to Manager Chen, so that when he loads the Jiwei Building tomorrow, let those two guys help bring some." They are a small place here, and they want to send a federal The courier has to go to Tongcheng, and the two guys from Jiweilou are familiar with them now. They come here at six or seven every morning, and they even have breakfast at Niuwangzhuang. It's nothing to ask them to help.

"Old Zhou, someone is looking for you." At this time, Fatty Hou's voice sounded from downstairs. Although this fatty rarely does exercise, he is full of energy, probably because of his good nutrition.

"Here we come." Romon went downstairs after saying that, the two walnuts in his hand were still rubbing together, and now he didn't expect them to be colored, he just wanted to see what they would look like in the end. .

"Romon, it's us." An old man in the yard downstairs said.

"Seventh Uncle, why are you here?" Luo Meng said and quickly led them to sit in the shade of the yard. This Seventh Uncle lives in their ancestral hall, and he can be regarded as the old man who is in charge of their ancestral hall with the surname Luo now. One, if there is something in the clan, the elders of them often want to come forward.

"It's nothing, come and have a seat." Seventh Uncle smiled, his attitude was much more kind than when Luo Meng went to the ancestral hall to give Luo Meihui and Luo Meiling their genealogy, and there was another younger man who came with him The old man at [-]:[-], Romon probably knew him, his name was Luo Sheng, and he was from our family.

"It just so happens that the tofu curds should come out at this moment, just wait, I'll get you two bowls." Luo Meng said as he made a pot of bean curd in the shed where the tofu was made, and a bowl of marinade from the kitchen. I cut a bowl of green onions, put them on a small table, and took them to the yard.

"This tofu curd is good. Doesn't that shop in your town also sell it? I often eat it." Uncle Seven boasted after eating a few mouthfuls of bean curd.

"This is good. It's just made, and it tastes better than the ones in the store." Luo Sheng also said the same.

"Eat more if you like. It's time for dinner later. You can go back after eating with me," said Romon.

"No, no, no, I'm sorry. After a while, people thought it was a greedy old man." Seventh Uncle laughed.

"Hey, what's the matter, there are too many old people on our mountain."

"Oh, you have done a good job on this mountain. These days, many old men and women tell me that your place is good, you can live comfortably, eat well, and live comfortably." The reason why the seventh uncle at the ancestral hall Changing his view of Romon has a lot to do with these old people on the mountain.

Although he thought that Romon was competitive before, he didn't like him liking men. Now he thinks that liking men and women is not so important. The most important thing is to have a good heart. Right.

"I don't lose anything, they all work for me." To be honest, Romon felt that he really made money by hiring these old people to work. The reputation has helped him to spread the word, don't underestimate this, in a small place like theirs, reputation is very important.

"By the way, Uncle Seven, why did you two come to see me today?" Luo Meng didn't think that the two old men really came to hang out.

"Hey, it's like this. Our Luo family is in Buffalo Town. It used to be beautiful in the past, but now it has declined. Many families are not doing well. Didn't you plant a batch of lotus roots this year? We just want to discuss with you. Discuss and see if we can attract some lotus root seeds for them." Uncle Seven didn't like to beat around the bush, and when Luo Meng asked, he explained the purpose of his trip.

As soon as Luo Meng heard that they were here for this matter, he immediately said: "What's the matter, two days ago my dad told me that next year people in the village would plant lotus roots together, and I agreed. If people in our ancestral hall also want to plant, I will save some more this year, and you will add up how much you want and give me the number."

"People in your village also want to plant?" Luo Sheng, who came with the seventh uncle, asked.

"Isn't everyone just trying to find something new? Someone asked my parents to talk about it early in the morning." This is true. Although no one in the village directly mentioned this matter to Luo Meng, everyone chatted with the old man Liu Chunlan Sometimes, they often check their mouths.

"There are more people planting, will the price come down?" Luo Sheng looked a little worried, after all, their place is small and the market is limited.

"That shouldn't be the case. There is also an online store in our village. If the prices don't go up in our town, they will immediately pull things online and sell them. Yongqing can also develop and develop."

Luo Meng knew that from the perspective of the ancestral hall, of course he hoped that things would be as rare as possible, but Luo Meng didn't want to do that. To put it bluntly, it would be more beneficial than harmful for him personally. Offend people.Buffalo Town is a big chicken butt, hello, hello, hello, everyone, why bother with those troubles.

"That's good, after all, you will develop in the village in the future." The seventh uncle is more open than that Luo Sheng.

"Who says it's not? Besides, most of our village is surnamed Luo. We can't say that some people give to others and others don't. That would offend people." Luo Meng smiled.

"There's no need to offend people. They still come to you every week to pick up cow dung." This Luo Meng obviously blamed Romon for only caring about the people in the same village, but forgot about them who were of the same clan.

"What are you talking about? They live in the same village, so it's natural for them to come and go more often." Uncle Qi said.

"Qi Gong..." Luo Sheng wanted to say something again.

"What else do you want to say? If I had known about your donkey temper, I would have said I wouldn't take you out." Uncle Qi seemed a little unhappy.

"Uncle is right, I was negligent." Romon said quickly, it was no wonder that the two old men sang together.

"Hey, what's the matter with you? Our ancestral hall just meets when there is something to do. On weekdays, everyone lives their own lives." Especially their Dawan Village branch, which was originally related to our family. Not close.

"If you want it, when you first entered the university, our family gave you 1 yuan. At that time, 1 yuan was a lot of money. My father is still studying all these years." Luo Meng said .

"You child, you just want to miss the old love." The seventh uncle looked at Luo Meng with a kind gaze. Over the years, their ancestral hall has done a lot of good things by laying roads and building bridges, and they have helped many poor children, but all these years Come here, there are really not many people who can get ahead and talk to old men like them.

"This is not what it should be." Romon was a little embarrassed by him, thought for a while and said: "Well, the vegetables and grains I have grown in the past two years have been selected for myself, and I will let them grow later. You take some back home, if anyone in our clan has land, you can just look at it."

"This is good, this is more real than anything else!" Luo Sheng spoke again at this time.

"You're happy again now?" Uncle Seven smiled at him, and said to Luo Meng, "Your Uncle Desheng is a farmer. You only see cow dung as seeds, and you have a very straight temper."

"Hey, my dad is also like this." Romon only found out later that after he left Buffalo Town, rumors about him had been widely spread in the town. The clan felt ashamed, and one or two couldn't hold back Yes, it is said that Luo Meng should be removed from the family tree. The old man Luo had had trouble with others back then.

Maybe because of this incident, now Luo Meng can be regarded as a respectable person in Buffalo Town, but there has been no movement at the ancestral hall, and their family is still not close to my family.

"Yes, yes, Shiliu has the same temper." Seventh Uncle laughed a little stiffly.

At the beginning, the people in their ancestral hall said that they would remove him, but now they asked him to come to make connections. His old face really couldn't bear it.Those old things, I was embarrassed to come, and insisted that he was the closest to Romon, and asked him to come forward, and it was this stunned Luo Sheng who came with him.

"Hey, wait a minute, I'll go to the warehouse to see what kind of seeds there are." Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Luo Meng quickly changed the topic. Regarding the fact that someone in the ancestral hall proposed to remove him, Luo Meng Meng didn't hold much grudges, after all, the social atmosphere is like this, and it's normal for the ancestral hall to feel ashamed when something like that happens.

After a while, Romon found a lot of seeds from the warehouse, wrote a note and packed them in bags, and finally put them in a flour bag and handed them to the two old people. After they took the things, they said that it was time to go back, Romon Originally, he wanted to keep them for dinner, but seeing that he couldn't, he drove them to the Luo's Ancestral Hall.

"Hey, how's it going?" Seeing these two people coming back, several old people who were waiting in the ancestral hall hurried up to greet them.

"The matter of the lotus root seeds is settled. Let us keep it when the time comes. Let's count it up first and see how much we need." Seventh Uncle sat down on a chair as he spoke, and someone poured him a glass in a hurry Water, this old man is not young.

"What's that?" Someone immediately asked after seeing Luo Sheng walking towards the back hall with a noodle bag in his hand.

"Boy, what do you want to do? Take them here and see how many people want to farm the land. Let's see the distribution." Seventh Uncle called him to stop.

"There are still a few people farming in our town, and I'm the only one." Luo Sheng turned back reluctantly.

"What is it?" The other old men were at a loss.

"Seeds." Seventh Uncle said.

"The seeds of Niuwangzhuang?" The eyes of the old men lit up when they heard it.

"No, it was given by Romon just now. You old men know that I should be the first bird. I am so old that I am ashamed..." Seventh Uncle said and began to mutter.

"Hey, it's really the seeds of Niuwangzhuang. Look at this leek seed. It's great! This is a pumpkin. Oh, the pumpkin of Niuwangzhuang is really good. Let's see what else is there. Oh, this corn The grains are really big and round..." At this time, who would listen to Uncle Seven.

"Get out of the way, I want these things back, and I'll distribute them." Seventh Uncle said at this time.

"Qigong, give me some leek seeds, let me have some leek seeds. My son and daughter-in-law sell fried buns in Yongqing. If they can grow good leeks, the business will definitely be booming." A bald, greasy-faced old man quickly said.

"Yes, I must give it. In the past two days, go to each household in the upper clan and ask who still wants to plant the land. Let them come and get some seeds. If you don't want to plant, don't join in the fun."

"Let's go first?" said an old man.

"I don't know how many people want it, how can I distribute it? I don't know how much each person can distribute." Seventh Uncle hummed.

"Give a little first, give a little less, and if there are more later, give us some more." The old man who just asked for leek seeds said, and if he took the seeds back one day earlier, he would plant them one day earlier. Sometimes they build a small shed in the backyard of their house, and it can grow in winter.

"Then how many will I give you first?" Seventh Uncle glanced at him, stretched out his trembling hand, and grabbed him a handful of leek seeds from the bag.

"That's just how much. It's not enough to fry a plate. Let's have some more."

"Hey, I want it too, I want it too, give me some corn kernels."

"I want that kidney bean."

"..."

"How many years have you been farming, what kind of seeds do you want?"

"That was in the past. I couldn't eat the vegetables I grew, and I couldn't even sell them. Now it can be the same? How many people come to our town to buy vegetables every day. When the time comes, I will set up a stall on the street, maybe I can do it too." Earn two dollars."

"My family also has a piece of land by the creek, and I will open it up after a while."

"The creek is good. I heard that the grass beside the creek in our town has grown more lush this year than in previous years. It must be the sacred soil and water of the Bull King flowing down the stream."

"Hey, our family has a large piece of wasteland by the stream, half of which will be planted with vegetables and the other half with lotus roots."

"It's been deserted for many years, but it will take some effort to get it right."

"What's the hurry, it's still early, there's still more than half a year before next spring."

"Hey, Desheng, are you going back so early? It's not time for dinner yet."

"I'll go straight first."

After Luo Meng went back that afternoon, he talked to Luo Zhifang and Chen Jianhua for a while, mainly to mention the matter of saving lotus root seeds with them, and to discuss with them that next year Niuwangzhuang will plant [-]% less Kong lotus root.

At that time, many people in their buffalo town will grow this kind of lotus root, so Romon will stop competing with others, and they will grow seven-hole lotus root instead.Nine-hole lotus root is crisp, tender and juicy, suitable for cooking. Seven-hole lotus root is waxy but not crispy, suitable for soup. Because of its high starch content, it can also be used to process lotus root powder.

Regarding Luo Meng's arrangement, Luo Zhifang has no objection. From his point of view, it is beneficial and harmless for him to try more. After all, he is working for Luo Meng now, so he can learn more skills and accumulate more experience. , it must be good for himself.

Chen Guanshi has no objections, he only cares about the internal work of Niuwangzhuang, as for the general direction, let Lao Zhou take care of it.

Let's talk about Ma Congrong's side.

Last time, Romon gave a basket of oranges to several adults in the county. These adults have different personalities. After sharing the oranges, some of them quietly ate with their families, and some liked to show off. After they showed off, the news quickly spread again——

The orange produced in Niuwangzhuang is really amazing!It is said that it is a new variety introduced from the Provincial Agricultural University. It is very difficult to grow and cannot be popularized at all. But once it is planted alive, the oranges will grow like little lanterns. They are red and big, not to mention how good they are After eating, the orange flesh is crystal clear, just like agate, not to mention eating, just looking at it makes you feel comfortable.

Alas, it's a pity that you can't buy it, and it's all covered by Boss Ma from Tongcheng Jiwei Building. Boss Ma knows, right?It was Ma Congrong from the Ma family.

The autumn wind blows the crab's feet and itches, and the navel is round in September and the umbilical cord is sharp in October. On this day, Ma Congrong counted the time, and the golden time to eat crabs has finally arrived!So he got in that fancy imported car and drove all the way to Buffalo Town. When he passed the sign saying "People of Buffalo Town welcome you", he saw the words "Except for Ma Congrong" again. This girl looked left and right to see that no one was there, and planned to wipe it off secretly again.

Once wiped, it cannot be wiped off!

Wipe it again, it can't be wiped off!

Ah, this time it was actually written on it with paint!
