But before he recovered, he found that they were all hissing and picking up the chopsticks.

Zheng Chengan: "..."

"Don't you think it's spicy?"

"Hiss!" Li Shi took a sip of water and said, "It's a bit spicy, but it seems...the more spicy the more I want to eat..."

Lianqiao also said: "Yes,? This soybean is really delicious! Hiss..."

Even Father Zheng nodded while eating.

Zheng Chengan fried five potatoes, and finally ate them all. Even everyone was still full of enthusiasm.

Li Shi said: "This thing is good, you can make more in the future."

Zheng Chengan said helplessly: "There are not a few in total,? They will be gone after eating,? Besides,? There is no place to plant them now."

"...This is a problem."

Mrs. Li frowned, but remained silent in thought.

Then Zheng Cheng'an got up and went to the kitchen to bring over a pot of cooked sweet potatoes. The fleshy red sweet potatoes floated over wrapped in sweet and sweet skin.

Li, who was in deep thought, suddenly woke up, "What is this? It smells so fragrant?"

Zheng Chengan raised his eyebrows proudly, "Sweet potato, come and taste it."

The sweet potatoes are light and soft, because they have been cooled in the pot for a long time, and now they are not too hot. They can be eaten directly. Li Shi gently peeled off the thin layer of purple-red skin on the outside, revealing the honey-colored red meat inside Come.

The color is rosy and attractive. Li Shi took a bite like a temptation. The mouth is like soft honey, soft and sweet. The delicious sweetness seems to be able to penetrate into the bottom of people's hearts.

"Mmm...it's delicious."

"It's really sweet!"

Father Zheng: "Where did you get this? How could it be sweet?"

Li said: "Today Dalang bought it from Haishang."

Father Zheng asked strangely, "There are such good things from foreign countries?"

"Isn't it? I'm also surprised. Why didn't we find out before."

Father Zheng said: "We have only been in business for two years,? It's not too late to find out."

"By the way," Father Zheng looked at Zheng Cheng'an, "How much of this stuff did you buy? Did you buy the seeds?"

Zheng Chengan frowned and said, "There are seeds, but didn't E-Mu say that our family has no place to plant them?"

"Who said that there is no place to plant." Li suddenly said.

Zheng Chengan's eyelids twitched, didn't you say that yourself?

"Where does our family have it? Isn't it all planted with sorghum?"

Mrs. Li didn't look at him, and secretly asked Father Zheng, "Tell me, is it appropriate to buy the wasteland in the east of the village from the village chief?"

Zheng Chengan's eyes lit up, that's right, he only thought that his family ran out of land, so why didn't he think about buying land.

Thinking of this, he nodded sharply, "It's appropriate."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zheng's father said, "Don't think that as soon as it comes out, the grass will grow tall in that wasteland, and the other crops will not be able to harvest much food at all. It's not enough to waste time."

"That's not necessarily true." Zheng Cheng'an said, "Although other grains are difficult to grow, the ones I brought back today are different. They are inherently tenacious and can grow even on barren land, and their yields are lower than those of wheat. Come much higher."

Father Zheng wondered, "Can it still be like this?"

Thinking of the diametrically opposite but equally delicious foods eaten today, Li Shi said, "If this is the case, we will be blessed in the future."

……

He did what he said, and Father Zheng went to the village head's house the next day.

When he came back, there was a slight sadness on his face.

Zheng Chengan was surprised, it was fine when I went there, why did it suddenly happen, it must have been bought by someone else, right?

"Father, what's the matter? What did the village head say?"

Father Zheng sighed: "The village head said, you can buy it."

Zheng Chengan felt relieved, "Then it's over, what else are you worried about?"

"But this... is too expensive, it will take many years to get back the money!"

Zheng Chengan asked, "How much?"

Father Zheng gestured and said, "Three taels an acre, who can afford it? Even the first-class fields over there are only five taels an acre. There is so much wasteland!"

Father Zheng was outraged. Although the first-class land cost five taels of silver, at least it would pay back after two years of planting. It is not known whether it will be paid back in five years if it is exchanged for this barren land!

Zheng Chengan scratched his head, but he didn't really care, "It's...it's okay."

The main reason is that he has experienced the real estate industry where the price changes every day, and he accepts the current price well, and even wants to buy a few more acres as soon as the price is low.

Father Zheng asked cautiously: "Isn't it expensive? How much does the potato you bought cost you?"

Zheng Cheng'an didn't know the exact amount, but he knew that the portion was definitely enough. Potatoes and sweet potatoes have always been good things for people to endure famine in poverty-stricken times. "I don't know the exact amount, but it seems to be more than twice that of wheat."

"So much?" Zheng's father was startled, then he had to think about it, maybe... he could take it down by gritting his teeth.

"Yes."

Zheng Chengan directly took out a potato he was preparing to show him, "It seems that several sprouts have sprouted on it, and these sprouts can be separated out in a few days, and each sprout is a new potato seedling. , and each seedling can grow another string when it matures."

This is a real good deal.

After looking at it for a while, Father Zheng finally nodded, "In that case, I'll go to the village chief and talk about buying it later."

"But if you buy the land with your silver, it will be gone completely."

Zheng Chengan said: "It's okay, if you don't go to the old one, don't you want to get the new one, money is earned, not saved."

"Besides, if this thing is planted, maybe we can still make a lot of money."

In the afternoon, Father Zheng bought the land with Fang Gaoyuan, the village chief, and went to the county town to have the government stamp and verify the certificate.

When he came back, Father Zheng suddenly changed into a different person, he kept looking at Zheng Chengan with complicated eyes, sighed deeply after looking at him for a while, smoked a cigarette, and started staring at him again after smoking.

Zheng Cheng'an didn't know why.

At first, I thought I'd let him do it, and I wouldn't delay my work anyway, but after a while, I couldn't feel my strength anymore, and in the end, I lingered and turned to Father Zheng's side.

"Father, you went to the county seat today... did it go well?"

Father Zheng said, "It's going well."

"Then what do you want to buy?"

Father Zheng shook his head: "Not this one."

Zheng Chengan was discouraged: "Then what are you seeing? Why do you look at me like this when you come back? Could it be that I have become a stinky hooligan in the county town?"

"You kid, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Father Zheng knocked on the cigarette pot, took a deep look at him, then turned his head to look at the sky, and said, "I just didn't expect..."

"Didn't think of anything?"

"I didn't expect you to achieve such excellent results!"

Father Zheng didn't finish his sentence. In fact, he accidentally saw Zhang Xiaowu arguing with people from the bookstore.

Originally, he didn't care about other people's private affairs, but they were too noisy and said Da Lang's name carelessly, so he couldn't help but quietly listened to the corner.

……

Zhang Xiaowu said angrily, "Why don't you want my script?"

The bookstore clerk was kind at first, and explained the reason in a good voice.

Zhang Xiaowu became even more angry, "I don't believe it! You even want Zheng Chengan's, why don't you want mine?"

"I see. Did Zheng Cheng'an read the book I wrote and made an unspeakable deal with you? I knew he didn't like me. When I saw that my writing was better than his, I was afraid that I would suppress him. On the one hand, deliberately do some unscrupulous means!"

Wang Er was a little impatient, why didn't this person listen no matter what he said, "Guest officer, as I said before, the script was personally reviewed by our manager, whether it is suitable or not we have considered the market and the subject matter, and used a very fair It has nothing to do with the Mr. Zheng you mentioned."

"I don't believe it. I clearly saw that your carriage went to his house again. You guys are working together! That's right, you're working together!"

Good guy, can you still speak idioms?Wang Erxin said, if you also have such a vocabulary when you write the script, why don't you want it!

But now that he thinks about the eyes he has seen, he feels pain in his eyes, what he wrote is a piece of bullshit!

Any other scholar would at most be able to write imperial examination-style eight-legged essays, at least he could read it, but it was a bit obscure, but he couldn't even write vernacular well, and his handwriting was still like a dog crawling. Sprinkle a handful of rice on the paper, and the chicken is better than him.

Wang Er got impatient with arguing with him. During this short time, some guests came to see this side. Their side was always quiet, and the noise in a short period of time became annoying, so he gave up on himself and said, "You can do whatever you want How do you think about it. Officer, do you have any other needs? Do you still need the new paper and pens in our shop?"

Zhang Xiaowu had already spent the money he asked his mother for last time, and he was still dreaming of being discovered by someone and getting rich overnight.

At this time, he was blocked back by someone with a soft knife, and the anger in his heart couldn't go up or down, and it was extremely uncomfortable, but many people looked at him with a frown, and he was very proud of himself, thinking that he was a scholar, and he had to do what he should What I did, it was outrageous to argue with people in broad daylight.

Zhang Xiaowu withdrew his manuscript angrily, feeling that the people in this bookstore were too much, if he hadn't been too high-quality, he would have argued with them.

But he doesn't even bother to come to this kind of broken bookstore that is in the same boat as Zheng Cheng'an.

……

Zheng's father didn't expect to hear about this stall at first, and thought that he had also read the script written by Da Lang, and thought it was quite ordinary, why Zhang Xiaowu wanted to compare with Da Lang.

Who knew that when passing by a teahouse on the road in the county town, the storyteller in it was talking about Dalang's scripts, and it had just finished a game, and the people inside had unfinished expressions on their faces.

"Hey, the gentleman has been talking about this for half a month, why hasn't a new one come out yet!"

"Yeah, I listen to it every day and every night. I really want to listen to it! My mother-in-law says I'm obsessed with ghosts!"

"I got the exclusive news. I heard that Mr. Nahua wrote it very fast. The third chapter is finished, but the bookstore doesn't print it!"

"Why are they like this, don't they make money if they have money?"

"It's not that money doesn't make money. I heard that this time Mr. Hua's book became a hit. The bookstore is printing the first volume. There is really no time to print the second and third volumes!"

"But almost everything that can be bought in our county is bought, so why do you need to print it? Printing the next one as soon as possible is a serious matter!"

"Hey, isn't this popular among us, so we plan to sell it in other places as well. You must know that Mingde Bookstore has opened in all major counties across the country."

"That's true, but it's just suffering for us."

"How about, when are we going to urge the people in the bookstore to speed up."

"It's good to be brave!"
